066 The grievances of the victims
Zhao Ying also saw her, and he was already with a gentle smile, and the smile on his face deepened, "Miss Luo is coming over on behalf of Mr. Luo today?" ”
"Yes." Luo Xuyan nodded, her expression indifferent, "I'm going to do something." ”
Zhao Ying said: "I'm okay now, can I help Miss share some of it?" ”
Luo Xuyan said: "A little thing, don't dare to bother the son." ”
"It's the business of the yamen, and it's within my share." Zhao Ying walked slowly towards Luo Xuyan, casually nodded to the officials passing by, and then stood three steps away from her, lowered her voice and said: "I heard that something happened to Miss Luo's uncle, and even the reputation of the Xu family is not very good, so I think I need to save some face for the Xu family by appeasing the victims, right?" ”
Luo Xuyan smiled faintly and said calmly: "I just hope that my uncle's affairs will not delay our work." ”
Zhao Ying knew in her heart, "I hope so." Miss Luo, there are a lot of people here, I am familiar with it, so let me accompany Miss Luo. ”
Miss Luo saw that there was a mess on the side of the city gate, so she didn't go down politely with him, and walked forward with You Zhen, scattering the medicinal powder in the cloth bag along the road.
Zhao Ying took a bag and did as they did.
The yamen built a simple shed along the root of the city wall, so that the victims could shelter from the wind and rain, and built a porridge shed by the city gate, and the yamen were responsible for boiling the porridge, and some people sent steamed buns and clothes on time.
At this time, two doctors were checking on the victims' conditions, and if they had a fever, they were immediately sent to another place for treatment.
Luo Xuyan walked around, stood by a well, and sprinkled some medicinal powder into the well.
"Ayan, can you rest for a while?" You Zhen handed over the handkerchief and said.
"Okay." Luo Xuyan sat down directly on the stone steps by the well, fanned the wind with a handkerchief, and then wiped the fine sweat from her forehead.
As soon as the veil that blocked her vision was removed, she saw a small bamboo tube in front of her.
Zhao Ying said: "This is boiled water, drink some to quench your thirst." ”
"Thank you." Luo Xuyan took the water and took a sip, the warm water flowed between her lips and teeth, bringing a comfortable feeling.
She squinted her eyes and looked at the victims not far away, Zhao Ying was quietly beside her, not saying a word.
Approaching noon, when the food was about to be distributed, the victims who had been in peace became slightly restless, stretched their necks one by one, and looked at the porridge shed with golden eyes.
Only then did Zhao Ying speak: "Miss Luo, there will be chaos here and there in a while, let's go?" ”
Luo Xuyan said: "I still want to take another look, I'm afraid there is something wrong." ”
"Okay." Zhao Ying didn't continue to object, but just got up and stood in front of Luo Xuyan, as if she was afraid that someone would bump into her later.
Luo Xuyan glanced at it, didn't pay attention to it, and still saw that the victims had already surrounded the porridge shed, and the officials had to do their best to maintain order, so as not to let the surging crowd overturn the porridge shed.
At noon, the first pot of porridge was put on the table, and the victims rushed to crowd up, and the scene became noisy.
At this time, someone shouted dissatisfiedly: "I know that there are so many people, and I still build this porridge shed, and then look at this bowl, the porridge is more watery, and I can't see a few grains of rice, do you want to starve us to death?" ”
"That's it! Although we are not the people of Xiazhou, we are also the people of the Great Zhou! How can you fool us like this! Others chimed in.
"Yes, yes, if you Xiazhou don't save us, it's a big deal for us to go to the capital! Let's see if the emperor can save us! ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was immediately excited, and someone snatched the bowl from the hand of the person who had already got the porridge and smashed it on the ground.
"Bang bang" a few sounds, frightened the child to cry, some hungry people saw the porridge flowing all over the ground, their faces changed, screamed and pushed away the person in front of them, rushed over, pulled the ground with both hands, and stuffed the porridge into the mouth with the dust.
A group of men of five big and three thick men rushed into the porridge shed, overturned the pots and tables, kicked all the bowls, grabbed the collar of the officials, and slammed their fists in the face, beating the officials to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go, let's go to the capital and go to the gate of the palace to complain!"
"Yes, tell the emperor that the officials in Xiazhou will starve us to death!"
As soon as the call was called, the resentment in the hearts of more people was aroused, and they clamored to go to the capital together.
When the officers and soldiers in charge of defending the city saw this, they hurriedly rushed over to stop them, but these victims were very excited, and the officers and soldiers did not make mistakes.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the little official hurriedly picked up the hem of his clothes and rushed to the yamen.
Zhao Ying frowned at the chaotic scene, and said to Luo Xuyan: "Miss Luo, let's leave here from another way." ”
can only send Luo Xuyan away as soon as possible, firstly, the Luo family will be grateful for his benefits in the future, and secondly, the officers and soldiers will see that they can't stabilize the victims, and they will definitely ask for help when they see him, so he can't get involved in this matter.
Luo Xuyan's eyes kept falling on the crowd, and they all said that "the authorities are obsessed with bystanders", which is true, and after a while, she saw the strangeness.
"Zhao Gongzi, since you have superb martial arts, if you don't come in handy at this time, when will you wait?" She said.
Zhao Ying's heart tightened, and she pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What is Miss Luo going to do?" ”
Luo Xuyan pointed to a man in a dark gray skit, "Take that person down, maybe you can solve this mess." ”
"......" Zhao Ying said: "I'll send Miss away first, and then it's not too late to clean up." ”
"No," Luo Xuyan shook her head, "If you don't clean it up, you'll get killed!" ”
She raised her chin and motioned for Zhao Ying to look.
The enraged victims didn't care about the people who were lying on the ground to pick up something to eat, and when they ran around, they kicked people to the ground, and those people didn't have time to get up, and stepped on them a few times, and after a while, their faces were covered with blood, and they shrank on the ground and didn't move.
Zhao Ying's eyes were a little gloomy.
Luo Xuyan looked at him and asked, "Why didn't Zhao Gongzi move?" ”
