101. Resolute and resolute
Li Dan whispered a few words to You'an, and You'an spoke again: "What I said is what Your Highness meant, Your Highness said that as long as you are a real homeless, you will definitely be able to drink a bowl of hot porridge here today." ”
The man who spoke earlier snorted, not knowing whether to question or sneer, put his hands on his chest, and placed a coarse porcelain sea bowl with a missing mouth on the ground in front of him. The homeless people were already hungry and red-eyed, and even if they knew that the person who came was the prince, they didn't see much fear.
Li Dan Shi Ran beckoned, and the attendants he brought brought forward with a huge iron pot, stirred it in the pot a few times with a long-handled spoon, and prepared to serve porridge.
Perhaps seeing that his expression was still calm and calm, the man couldn't help but speak again: "Shouldn't it be only a spoonful per person, we have been hungry for a few days, what can a spoonful of porridge top?" ”
It was still You'an who answered for Li Dan: "You just have to rest assured, I'm afraid that you won't be able to drink the porridge that was served to you, and it won't be so easy to be good at that time." ”
The man couldn't understand the deep meaning of her words, so he only snorted extremely contemptuously when she was scaring herself. Li Dan's attendant stepped forward and filled the coarse porcelain sea bowl in front of him with a bowl full of hot porridge. The man took it to his lips and spit it out with just one mouthful: "What kind of porridge is this?" It's full of sand! I can't swallow it at all! ”
He swept in the direction of Su Liangqian without a trace, and smashed the bowl of porridge directly on the ground, the coarse porcelain bowl was shattered, and the porridge inside spilled out, and it was vaguely visible that the middle of the fine white rice grains was mixed with some black sand and stones.
Seeing this scene, a large number of displaced people shouted: "How can Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven send such rice and grain, is this to force us to death?" Some of them were more daring, and even directly said even more rebellious words: "We are starving here, and the nobles in Chang'an City are still eating and drinking well, and the tribute is not less, what is the reason?!" ”
Seeing that the soup soup was about to turn into a civil uprising, Li Dan's voice finally sounded at this time, his voice was not high, but it was clear enough to reach everyone's ears: "Lone Fengzhi came to help the victims, I didn't expect that someone would be so bold and pretend to be a disaster victim." ”
He pointed to the man who had made the most trouble before, and whispered to the attendant behind him, "Tie him up!" ”
Of course, the man refused to comply, and he opened his mouth to shout, but Li Dan's attendant was very neat with his hands and feet, and he tied him up firmly in three strokes and two blows, and pulled out a ball of rags out of nowhere, and directly blocked his mouth.
Su Liangqian saw that the situation was not good, and leaned in front of Li Dan: "Your Highness, these homeless people are already a little resentful because of natural disasters, if they are forcibly suppressed again, I am afraid that the scene will be out of control, please think twice." ”
The corners of Li Dan's eyes were slightly raised, and he glanced at him silently, just one glance, which made Su Liangqian feel a little awe-inspiring murderous aura. He stepped forward slowly, and spoke loudly to thousands of homeless people: "When Lone was six years old, he vomited because of unclean things mixed in the soup cakes, and the queen mother was angry and ordered the cane to scold the six palace maids in the dining room. ”
"However," Li Dan paused slightly, and looked around silently, "When Gu was fighting with the Turks with the army four years ago, the grain and grass in the army were robbed, and the life-saving food sent urgently was shot by stray arrows, and all of them were sprinkled on the ground, mixed with fine sand and coarse gravel. This kind of rice, which has half a mouthful of sand mixed with every bite, has been eaten alone for a month, because I am so hungry that I can't taste what is in my mouth. ”
"Lone only asks you one question," Li Dan pointed to the man who was bound, "This kind of person who tastes the sand in the porridge with just one bite, will he be a real outcast?" ”
After a moment of silence, a hesitant response came from the outskirts of the crowd: "...... No. Then a few more said, "No." Eventually, more and more people shouted, "No! ”
Someone shouted through the crowd: "They are all local snakes here, and they just bully us on weekdays, and every time someone comes to Beijing to give us porridge, they don't allow us to go forward, we really have no way to live......
Li Dan and the other boiling voices fell silent for a while, and then said: "The father and the emperor's queen mother, every time they see the report of the great drought, they are very worried. The queen mother once said that even if she reduced her three meals a day to one, she would have to scrape together enough rice to send relief. These people who take advantage of the drought for personal gain are really hateful, and they will make an example of Lone today, as long as Lone is here for a day, they will not allow the rice and grain brought by Lone to go where they should not go! ”
He took the sword, and the cold light flashed, and the man who was still arrogant before became a dead corpse in the blink of an eye.
Starting from the outermost circle, the homeless people bowed down like a tide, shouting: "Your Majesty is merciful, the Queen of Heaven is merciful!" ”
Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Li Dan turned around and motioned to his attendants to start distributing the hot porridge, and turned around and went back to the bedroom, leaving only Su Liangqian, whose face was pale and ugly.
You'an followed in a few steps, tilting her head to look at him.
Li Dan beckoned to her and told her to come closer: "How is it?" Do you suddenly feel that you are alone and resolute. ”
You'an unceremoniously shook him a roll of his eyes, but he still couldn't help but say: "It's just a snake on the ground, not so bold, not to mention, if you just eat it in your stomach, the rice and grain sent before won't have so much shortfall." No matter how much they eat, they can't eat that much. ”
"That's nature," Li Dan played with a small white porcelain dish in his hand, "It's not just rice grain for disaster relief, h2."
