Chapter 148: Don't give face
The man's beard was so scumbag that he couldn't tell how old he was, so he could only judge by listening to his voice that he should not be old.
Zhuang Rou felt that he was similar to Mo Zuo when he didn't shave, and he didn't know what he looked like until he shaved. How can a man look so old as long as he doesn't trim his beard?
She squinted at the man and said, "You have to obey the rules if you want food, why are you blocking other people's doors?" ”
"We just want to beg for a stutter, but if we don't give it to this red courtyard, we still ask someone to beat us. Everyone was already underfed and clothed, and now they are being beaten, and they are unhappy for a while, so they want to seek justice. The man did not get up when he saw the tolerance, but sat lazily under the wall, his hand in the tattered clothes, and rubbing the old mud on his body as he spoke.
Zhuang Rou burst out laughing, "Are you joking?" Do justice to Hanako. ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately angered the beggars around them, and they raised their sticks in anger and shouted, "What's wrong with the beggars! If it weren't for you corrupt officials, who made heaven unkind, how could we be beggars! ”
"That's right! Dog officials look down on people, and we must be fair! ”
"Justice! Fair! ”
"We want to eat, we want justice, we want to live!"
Zhuang Rou looked up at them, calmly pointed to the man who was closest to him and shouted loudly, and said, "It's you, go back with me in a while, there is one less helper in the yamen kitchen." Including food and housing, five dollars of silver per month. ”
"Huh?" He was stunned for a moment, and the other beggars raised their hands with blank expressions.
"Didn't you shout that you want to eat and be fair, and you want to live? It's really pitiful to ask for food, so I've got a job for you. As a helper in the yamen, you don't have to worry about food and housing, and you get five dollars of silver every month. After a year of work, you can be promoted to a cooker if you learn well, and you will have one or two silver per month. Zhuang Rou showed a gentle smile at this time and smiled at everyone.
Then she looked into the crowd again, and said with a smile: "The yamen is going to open a disaster relief department, and it happens to send people, and it was supposed to help you." It just so happens that ten people from among you will come and help, and they will all cover food and lodging for five dollars a month for the first year, and it will rise to one or two after a year. ”
The beggars were stunned, and then they saw her fingers point ten people in the crowd, and her smile was as warm as the sun, "What are your names, report your names and origins, and follow me back in a while." After bathing and changing into clean new clothes, in the evening we ate meat and lived all ready-made. ”
Zhuang Rou stretched out her hand and smiled brightly, "From now on, you can live a stable life, marry a wife in the future, have a few more children, and live a good life of enjoying family fun." It can also help the homeless and help the poor orphans. ”
After listening to her silently, someone stammered and asked, "What you said is true?" ”
"Of course it's true, I dare to vouch for it with my life." Zhuang Rou smiled gently.
"I... My name is Li ...... Ah! "The person who stretched out his hand to report his name was kicked after his name was finished. Immediately swallowed what he was about to say, and stood behind with a cower.
The man who was squatting in the corner basking in the sun finally stood up, took a stalk of grass in his mouth, and walked to the front of the crowd.
He couldn't help laughing, shook his head before raising his head to look at Zhuang Rou, and grinned: "This female official, you want to dig my people as soon as you come, so it's not good." We can't do justice if we want food, but they still have relatives, friends and family, and it is impossible to leave them to enjoy themselves, so I can't bear it. ”
"It's true that I didn't think it through when I said that, and I'm really sorry." Zhuang Rou said apologetically, her attitude towards this group of people asking for food was so good that Ma Dezheng and the other officials couldn't stand it anymore.
But he didn't dare to stop it, he knew very well that Sister Zhuang was not a good person.
Zhuang Rou gently tapped her head with the back of her hand, and stuck out her tongue very cutely, "Then take their family, relatives and friends, don't need money for treatment, food and accommodation, and will help everyone find things to do, and slowly return to their original life." ”
"This is the wish that my family made when I took office, to do something good for the people. Now everyone should have no worries, how many people are in total, I will immediately arrange for someone to go back and arrange the place to live. ”
She looked at the beggars with sincere eyes, and a sincere world can be seen, "If you are sick, you can tell me in advance, so that the doctor can be called over to take a look, everything can be delayed, but the treatment cannot be delayed." ”
The leader of the flower child couldn't laugh, he stared at Zhuang Rou's eyes, and found that she had no contempt or pity at all, and there was only sincerity in her eyes.
When people encounter beggars, they either hate them and want to run away, or they ignore them. Even if they come to do good deeds, their eyes are full of pity, and they are regarded as objects of merit.
And this woman looked at them with the most normal eyes, as if everyone was no longer called Hanako, but someone as decent as her.
At this time, someone behind him whispered timidly: "Boss, what now, brothers?" ”
the hell!
His mouth under his beard flattened, and he turned his head and glared fiercely, who opened his mouth, go back and clean him up!
The beggars did not dare to move, but their hearts were already moved. Who hasn't encountered disasters or difficulties, so they have become like this, usually bitten by dogs and driven away, if there is a chance to return to the way before, the ghost should be called Hanako!
But the boss stood in front, and no one dared to stand up and say that they wanted to go. But their scorching gaze still made the man in front of him feel that his back was so hot, several times hotter than the summer sun.
He knew that things were not good, whether this woman was sincere or fake, it shook his heart.
Zhuang Rou looked at him, and suddenly said to herself: "It's so pitiful, people's hearts are scattered." ”
"Your Excellency has a good way, I, Qin Qiu, bow to the wind, and I will take people away today." The man spit out the grass stalks, clenched his fists and said, then turned around and kicked the beggar behind him, "Go!" ”
"Wait." Zhuang Rou opened his mouth to block, "I left today, will you still come after that?" ”
Qin Qiu turned around and said: "Tomorrow is tomorrow's business, today is to sell the female official to save face, and the matter between us and Yanhong Courtyard is not over yet." ”
Zhuang Rou nodded, "I understand, okay." ”
Then she said to Ma Dezheng: "The homeless people want to extort merchants, gather crowds to disturb the law and order in the city, and arrest many of these homeless people who pretend to be beggars and put them in prison." ”
"What?" The beggars who were forced by Qin Qiu to be unable to vote for the female bodhisattva, when they were depressed and sad, were instantly shocked by her words, and looked at her in disbelief.
Qin Qiu also looked at her with wide eyes, this change was too fast!
Zhuang Rou raised her hand and said regretfully: "I shouted that I want to live a fair life, I have given you a bright path, but you ruthlessly rejected me." ”
"Really...... Shame on the face. What makes a group of idle strong men, holding stick-like murder weapons, gather at the door of the merchants, with murderous intent in their eyes and foul words in their mouths? ”
She pointed at Qin Qiu and said firmly: "There is only one possibility, bandits, Cheng Yidao's subordinates who were in the law a few days ago!" ”
"Fuck! Run! Qin Qiu shouted, turned around and wanted to run, but Zhuang Rou's palm flashed with cold light and stretched out to him.
