Chapter 308: Encountering the Dead
"One sail, one sail, it's not good!"
On this day, Li Haoyun and Wanhong came in a hurry.
"Uncle, what's wrong with my aunt? You guys...... Robbed? ”
"Isn't it just robbed!" Wan Hong couldn't do it in a hurry.
"Huh?"
When Liu Yifan heard this, he was shocked, he saw that Li Haoyun and Wan Hong were a little messy, so he ridiculed like this, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Li Haoyun was extremely distressed and said: "All the lo-mei that we sent to the shop in Wufeng Town early this morning was snatched away!" ”
"Lo-mei also grabbed?"
"Yes! It's a bunch of ragged beggars, and your aunt and I can't match them, and everything has been robbed. ”
Li Haoyun continued: "These lo-mei are worth dozens of taels of silver! ”
"If it goes on like this, there are many beggars, and they are hungry wolves one by one, I am afraid that they will taste the sweetness and rob them in the future, and we will not be able to send escorts in the future! Yifan, what do you say about this? Wan Hong said worriedly.
"Are beggars so arrogant?" Luo Ying said, "We have been doing business in Wufeng Town for so long, and we haven't encountered such a thing, Yifan, why don't you take someone to see tomorrow, is it really a beggar robbery or is there any other reason." ”
Liu Yifan thought for a moment and said: "Uncle, aunt, today you should be a day off, rest at home, tomorrow you two will take lo-mei to the town, if they want to rob it, let them rob, and we will do the rest." ”
"Nacheng, we all listen to you."
.........
Early the next morning, Li Haoyun and Wanhong delivered lo-mei to the shop in Wufeng Town to sell it as usual.
"Stop!" The same place and the same time were again surrounded by the same group of people.
However, with Liu Yifan's words yesterday, Li Haoyun and his family were not worried, Li Haoyun said: "You can pull the things!" Don't hurt us. ”
These people really didn't hurt Li Haoyun and his wife, but they snatched all the food.
"Hand over the money on your body!"
Li Haoyun honestly handed over the money bag, the man took the money bag and walked a few steps, and suddenly turned back to Li Haoyun and said: "In Xia Zhao Jialiang, today is a last resort, he will repay him one day!" ”
Li Haoyun was suddenly a little confused.
However, Liu Yifan, who was hiding in the shadows, looked at Zhao Jialiang's back and said softly: "This person's figure looks familiar. ”
"Yifan, let's follow!"
When the words fell, Liu Yifan, Liu Xiaoyong and others came out of the shadows, and quietly followed Li Haoyun and his wife until they were near the broken temple.
"Folks, if you have something to eat, everyone will come one by one, and the old and weak will come first to receive it."
The people in the ruined temple lined up in an orderly manner to receive it, and none of them scrambled.
At this time, a woman came out of the temple with an old man in her arms, and the old man seemed to be in poor health, so he coughed.
"Dad, if you're not feeling well, just rest inside." Zhao Jialiang stepped forward and said, "Dad, I'll go to the town to get you medicine in a while." ”
"Where did you get the money?" Father Zhao asked with wide eyes.
Zhao Jialiang lowered his head in shame.
Father Zhao instantly understood.
Father Zhao watched everyone eat the food they had robbed, and couldn't help sighing, and instructed Zhao Jialiang: "We have robbed other people's things in the past two days, and we must go to atone for our sins when we have the opportunity in the future!" ”
"I know, Dad, when I settle down, I'll go find something to do, and I'll pay back the money when the time comes." Zhao Jialiang said, "Dad, I'll help you enter and rest, sister, you bring in the food." ”
"Dare to call Hanako, dare to gather crowds to rob our Lord Liu!" Dashun rushed out and shouted!
Frightened, the old and weak women and children retreated.
Liu Yifan said: "You still want to repay this debt, it doesn't seem to be bad." ”
"I robbed the thing, it has nothing to do with them!"
"You...... Are you Zhao Jialiang of Zhenwei Dart Bureau? Liu Yifan exclaimed.
When Zhao Jialiang heard this, he was suddenly startled, and stared at Liu Yifan for a long time before he overlapped with his little brother who used to do chores in his own house.
"It's really you!" Liu Yifan said with a smile.
"Your Excellency, do you know each other?" Dashun asked.
"I used to work in the Zhenwei Dart Bureau, and Mr. Zhao took care of me a lot." Liu Yifan explained.
"Ahem, cough, it's hard for you to remember the old man." Mr. Zhao stood up and said.
Mr. Zhao has a deep impression of Liu Yifan, and it is a good impression, and now Liu Yifan is in an official position, but he can still calmly say that he has done chores in his own home, which is really rare.
"Mr. Zhao, you ........ How do you ........."
It's no wonder that Liu Yifan can't recognize it, Zhao Wei is now sick, he looks at least ten years older than two years ago, and the whole person is not thin.
"Ahem, ahem... It's a long story. ”
Liu Xiaoyong said: "I haven't seen you for two years, Mr. Zhao is the head of the dart, you ......"
"Oh? It turned out that Liu Zhukuai was also there, the old man was clumsy, he hadn't seen him for two years, and Liu Zhukuai was getting more and more energetic. ”
"Mr. Zhao, what happened? Why ......" Liu Yifan's eyes scanned the surroundings, all of them looked like beggars, and the number of people was estimated to be as many as dozens of people.
Zhao Jialiang said: "They are all our villagers in Zhaojiatiao, Hexing County, where it has rained heavily for more than ten days, and the dam bursts, flooding the entire county and surrounding villages......... So he robbed the ...... Uncle's things and silver two...... It's really a last resort. ”
"No wonder food prices have gone up a bit lately."
In ancient times, it was not as good as in modern times, and things such as grain, in the event of a famine, the price soared, and most of the land was in the hands of the family, and the imperial court could provide disaster relief, but it would not hit the price. Therefore, once they encounter corruption and disaster relief, the people are almost waiting to die.
Looking at these old, weak, sick and disabled, Liu Yifan felt very uncomfortable, and said: "You go back with us first, if you are wronged in this broken temple for a while, I will let people send you food and clothing, but let's find a way to tide over this difficulty together." ”
"You...... Are you really willing to help........." Mr. Zhao was excited.
Liu Xiaoyong said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, now he is an economic envoy of Yifan, and he is still a farmer of Zhengliupin, and he is no longer the poor boy he used to be. ”
"So you...... Ha ha...... Ahem...... The old man was clumsy, and he also heard a lot of things about Lord Liu along the way, and drove the villagers to get rich, build roads, and build private schools, but he couldn't think of it...... Folks, come and thank you, Lord Liu. ”
"Thank you, Lord Liu."
"Thank you, Lord Liu."
.........
The villagers of Zhaojiatiao kowtowed one after another.
"Everyone get up first, the court will definitely help everyone rebuild their homes." This kind of thing to earn fame is better in the name of the imperial court.
"Mr. Zhao, let's go with me first!"
"This ........."
"Don't do this, that, ah, if it weren't for Mr. Zhao's dart head and your kindness, let me read the books in your study at will, I wouldn't have been able to enter the private school for so many years, and I could pass the children's exam if I re-entered the private school, and you were not there, and I was allowed to go out to find something to do, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to save money behind my second uncle and aunt to support my younger brothers and sisters, and I would have to be the host again if I had a chance to see you today."
What Liu Yifan said not only saved their face, but also helped them solve their problems.
"Then bother."
"Yifan, then you go back first, and your aunt and I will go to the town first." Li Haoyun said.
So, the three members of the Zhao family followed Liu Yifan and others back to Choushuwan.
When he returned home, Liu Yifan immediately asked the housekeeper and the Hong family to bring food and some old clothes to the broken temple.
"Lady, let me introduce to you, this is the head of the dart board I told you before, this is his son Zhao Jialiang This is his daughter Miss Zhao, this is my lady."
"Mrs. Liu." Miss Zhao saluted Luo Ying.
"Miss Zhao is really ...... It's beautiful! I'm a woman who can be stunned. ”
Luo Ying's words are not an exaggeration at all, Zhao Qing is a young man of eighteen, even if he is wearing coarse cloth and plain clothes now, he still can't hide his beauty.
"Mrs. Liu is overrated."
Liu Yifan told Luo Ying about these things, since people used to take care of Liu Yifan a lot, then now that they are in trouble, they should help them.
"Mother Wu, you go and invite Liu Langzhong to come over to diagnose and treat Mr. Zhao's darthead, and Caiyue, you take Miss Zhao to freshen up."
"Thank you, Mrs. Liu."
"I also want to thank Mr. Zhao for taking care of my husband at the beginning."
"That's not worth mentioning, and I'm not a big dart head now." Speaking of this, Zhao Wei looked a little lonely.
"Then let's call you Uncle Zhao!" Liu Yifan said, "Uncle Zhao, what happened to the dart game at the beginning? Why was it disbanded? ”
"It's all Wanshou, this brute!" Zhao Jialiang scolded indignantly.
Zhao Wei said: "It's also my carelessness. ”
"Dad, people clearly want to trap us, we can prevent it for a while, but we can't prevent it for a lifetime." Zhao Jialiang said, "That Wanshou wants to ask for my sister-in-law, a famous playboy of Wanshou, who is not doing his job, of course we refuse, we thought that this matter would be stopped, and the result was ...... This bastard found someone to let us dart, obviously saying that the good goods were sent to Qingzhou, and the contract was also written in Qingzhou, but he actually changed Qingzhou to Jingzhou! The difference between one word and the difference is thousands of miles, there is no way, I didn't have to send the goods to Jingzhou at a loss for the reputation of the dart bureau, but there were many bandits on the way to Jingzhou, and the goods were ...... My father was also injured, after returning to Xinglong County, Wanshou came to the door and said that either lose money, or let my sister marry him, we chose to lose money, this loss, our dart game was put in, our family of three went back to Hexing Zhaojiatiao's hometown, who knew that this year there was a big flood ......"
Also in this disaster, Zhao Jialiang's wife left him with private property.
"Who is Wanshou?" Luo Ying asked.
"The nephew of the county lieutenant's wife."
"No wonder...... But don't worry, no one will touch you if you live with me, so you can recuperate in peace first. ”
