Chapter 249: Transshipment (2)
dared to "speak up" on such an occasion, either he was stunned or had a background, but Yang Guang's temperament was different from ordinary people, and he didn't look like the former no matter how he looked at it, which made the officials who beat people not attack on the spot. After all www.biquge.info the Ming Dynasty gave quite preferential treatment to scholars, if you can really take the imperial examination for high school, you may have a half-official position in the future, maybe it may be the boss of the beating official, there is no need to bury the root cause because of a momentary battle of words.
Yang Guang ignored the official who spoke, he looked at the checkpoint behind the official and the hundreds of soldiers who were waiting for him, and shook his head slightly. It is clear that the victims are preparing to flee to the wealthy areas of Huaiyang and Jinling to survive, but for some reason the local government has set up a card to prevent them from leaving the country.
Yang Guang didn't speak, but the official who beat people didn't stop, and began to knock on the side to inquire about Yang Guang's origin: "There are disaster victims everywhere, you better go home quickly." I don't know where the house is? I'll send some men to escort you. ”
Yang Guang looked at the beating official with a smile on his face, and the latter suddenly felt that Yang Guang should be a private interview with a high-ranking person, so his demeanor and tone became more respectful, just like a domestic slave.
After casting the "Charm Human" to control the beating officials, Yang Guang learned from him that it was the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture who ordered the blockade of the road, but he was also carrying out the orders of the political envoy of Shandong.
The "Yangzhou Rebellion" caused by the White Lotus Sect had a far-reaching impact, so that many people directly regarded the victims of the Shandong disaster as potential remnants of the White Lotus Sect, and it is said that someone in Nanzhili had already privately written to the political envoy of Shandong, and if the disaster victims went to Jinling to cause trouble and caused the anger of the Son of Heaven, they would definitely tell the political envoy of Shandong to go around without eating.
Under such circumstances, the words that the officials who beat people just blurted out not to treat the victims of the disaster as human beings are also the original words of a certain official in the political department of Shandong, and in the eyes of these officials, the death of the victims at home is really a happy situation.
Yang Guang did not let the beating officials open the checkpoint and let the victims leave, how could such a small official have the right to veto the order of the Shandong Political Division? Even if he really disobeyed his boss's orders according to Yang Guang's orders, he had to be willing to listen to the generals who led hundreds of soldiers at the checkpoint.
"My lord, please give everyone a way to live!" The beaten young victim saw that the officials were so respectful to Yang Guang, and they also thought that Yang Guang was a senior official who paid a private visit, so he suddenly knelt in front of Yang Guang and kept kowtowing and begging.
Yang Guang stretched out his hand to help the victims up, and asked the beating officials: "How many checkpoints are there when I go to Nanzhili?" ”
"My lord, the prefect's order is to set up gates in villages and villages, and set up cards on roads, but one of the victims set foot on the land of Nanzhili, and he failed to stop those who were ineffective from being dismissed on the spot!" The beating official replied truthfully.
Hearing this, a look of despair appeared on the faces of the young victims. Yang Guang suddenly said at this time: "If you want to live, go to Xinyang Town!" His voice was not very loud, but it spread far away, so that all the victims within a few tens of meters around him could hear it clearly.
"Xinyang?" The young victim had a puzzled expression in his eyes, as a local, of course he knew the situation in Xinyang Town, which was not very far from here, only a few dozen miles, but as the largest private salt distribution center in Shandong, Xinyang Town asked for salt or a lot of it, but where did the food come from?
Yang Guang stared deeply at the beating official, and walked towards the direction of Xinyang Town in the north with his hands behind his back. The beating official was a little strange about this change, but the sudden hunger made him unable to think about it anymore, so he slipped behind and picked up the prepared dry food and desperately stuffed it into his mouth.
The reason why the young victims took the initiative to come forward and beg was mainly because they were so hungry that they couldn't stand it, and they saw that there was no way to live in the south, and they saw that Yang Guang had an unusual temperament, and that a dead horse should be a living horse anyway, so he gritted his teeth and returned to the crowd to find his parents, wife and children, and followed Yang Guang step by step.
Many of the victims who heard Yang Guang's words followed closely with the same thoughts, anyway, this level can't be passed at all, and they are so hungry here that they don't know when, so it's better to fight to see if there is a way out.
However, more of the victims still stayed where they were and did not move, in their opinion, how can Yang Guang, a foreigner who does not know the roots, be trusted, and it has to be the official lord who speaks and counts, everyone waits here for a while, maybe the lord is soft-hearted and can go all the way south, and how can he find food and stomach when he goes to Huaiyang and Jinling.
Zhao Wu looked at the thousands of victims who were still in place with pity, but said nothing. This is how he fled all the way from Shandong to Yangzhou, knowing very well that there would be no grass roots and tree bark left where the victims passed, and that was when the local government allowed the victims to pass.
Now that the government has set up checkpoints to prevent the victims from leaving the country, the more and more victims here are gathering, where can they get so much food to satisfy their stomachs? I couldn't walk, I didn't eat, I either starved to death here, or I clashed with the soldiers and was beaten to death as a rioter. Although the number of victims was large, there was no unified order, and there was a lack of weapons and training, and the relatively elite soldiers were basically one-sided slaughter.
When Zhao Wu was literate with Mr., he once heard a story of "Zhizi Suspicious Neighbor", these people who stayed behind still had illusions about the government and pinned their fate on the conscience of the officials, at this time, even if he was willing to persuade him, he would be considered to have ulterior motives, and he might be surrounded by a large group of people and beaten to death.
"Mourn its misfortune and be angry with it!" Zhao Wu whispered this sentence that Yang Guang said casually, and found that it could not be more appropriate to describe these disaster victims.
The crowd grew farther and farther away, and finally disappeared from sight, with only about three or four hundred victims following behind one after another. After walking a few more miles, Zhao Wu saw a big tree hanging with colorful silk on the side of the road, and knew that he had reached the answering point, so he put his finger in his mouth and whistled.
Several men dressed as family members appeared from behind the big trees on the side of the road, which startled the victims who had been following Yang Guang, thinking that they had encountered robbers. However, after seeing that these people were not holding swords, but carrying several large baskets covered with things, their hearts were full of doubts.
Zhao Wu Trainer Ding has been in possession for so long, and he has already had a kind of domineering in his body, and he shouted at the victims who followed him: "Listen to me, no matter whether it is an adult or a child, everyone has one, and you are not allowed to rob it, otherwise the whip will serve!" ”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Wu lifted the things covering the big basket, revealing the white steamed buns underneath. The eyes of the victims who saw the food in the vicinity suddenly straightened, and they immediately rushed towards it in desperation. (To be continued.) )
