Chapter 52: Deep Picking
"What else are you arguing about?" Ye Linghuang saw the scar on Li Dali's arm clearly and questioned Wang Liangcai and Ding Tai.
Wang Liangcai is evidence, even if he wants to quibble, he can't find a reason, and Ding Tai saw that this was none of his business, so he hurriedly said, "Back to the prince's words, the grass people have nothing to do with this matter, and the grass people don't know that Wang Liangcai is such a shameless person, please let the prince know!" ”
Wang Liangcai was shocked and angry, turned his head to look at Ding Tai, and a bad breath stuck in his throat, "You——! ”
Li Dali really didn't have much contact with Ding Tai, and he didn't have much contact with Ding Tai, so he didn't speak out to refute him when he heard Ding Tai defend himself.
"Lord Wang......" In the crowd watching the excitement outside, a very weak shout suddenly came out.
The spring breeze looked around, and saw a beggar in ragged clothes, with yellow muscles and thin muscles, but his waist was quite straight, and at first glance he was quite generous, slowly walked out of the crowd, knelt down and saluted, "See the prince!" ”
Ye Linghuang saw that although he was thin and weak, when he spoke, he was very different from Li Dali, who was completely illiterate.
"The grass people have no name or surname, but fortunately with the help of this good hall, they will not starve to death on the streets, and the grass people come forward to prove that what Li Dali said is all the truth! Please don't listen to Wang Liangcai's words! ”
"The boss of Shantang controlled us with food, told us beggars to go to his house to sweep the floor and do laundry, punched and kicked us whenever we were lazy, and even whipped us with a whip, telling us to eat and drink urine!"
"Although we are beggars, we are also human beings and have dignity, but the owner of Nashantang doesn't treat us as human beings at all! The grass people couldn't bear it and shouted to report to the official, but who knew that the boss of the good hall actually said that if the grass people went to report to the official, it would be up to the prefect to accept it! The grass people are terrified! ”
"Besides, Ding Tai is not a good person! The boss of Shantang and Ding Tai were all the way, and deliberately wrote the wheat given to us as two liters in the account book, but when we got it, we didn't even have one liter! ”
"The grass people once begged opposite the Shan Tang, and saw them sneaking around in the back warehouse, using sacks of corn, wheat and rice, and then smuggling them out of the Shan Tang! It is also common to see Lu Hongfu, who often goes in and out of the good hall, and talks secretly with the boss and Ding Tai......"
"What the three of them talked about, the grass people don't know, but the officials protect each other This is a word that the grass people often hear, and they still have some of their own understanding! The boss of Shantang is just a showman, how can he be so bold and dare to punish the grass people privately? When I think about it, I'm afraid that someone is behind him to protect him......"
"Bold! You know who he is! Chunfeng rebuked.
The nameless beggar replied calmly, "The grass people know that Lu Hongfu is the descendant of the founding general Lu Chengzhou, and he was originally from a prominent family, but the Lu family is getting worse from generation to generation, and when it comes to Lu Hongfu, he can only show off the glory of his ancestors. ”
"Since you know, you still dare to call the county lord by his name!?" Chunfeng said.
The beggar kowtowed and replied unhurriedly, "The grass people know that they are not right, the founding general must have the courage of a husband, his military exploits and glory are incomparable, but the people respect the loyal martyrs for the country and the people, Lu Hongfu is really worthy of the glory of his ancestors!" ”
Ye Linghuang's brows furrowed, it seemed that this beggar knew a lot of things......
