Chapter 304: Turmoil in the Capital!
didn't get the answer he wanted, Dafu pursed his mouth, "Hmph, Uncle Zhao doesn't even know his father, the emperor is really pitiful!"
The unexpected answer seemed to be a strong needle, which pierced Zhao Hengrui's body fiercely, and the pain was very great.
Yes, as a courtier, as a son, he doesn't know much about his father, I don't know if it's his sorrow or the emperor's pity.
Zhao Hengrui sorted out his thoughts, and just as he was about to say something, he felt the body shake suddenly for a moment.
Immediately after that, there was a commotion outside, "What are you doing? What are you doing, you dare to rob vehicles!"
Zhao Hengrui's eyes darkened in an instant, and next to him, Xiaofu was a little frightened, and leaned towards Zhao Hengrui quietly.
"It's okay, ah, Dafu, Xiaofu, nothing will happen, I'll go down and take a look, you guys stay in the carriage obediently, don't make a sound."
The coachman was already shocked by this scene, and his eyes were full of fear, "You guys, don't mess around, the people in this carriage are not something you can afford to mess with, be careful that you are killed!"
"Lao Tzu doesn't care if you kill your head in the future, now that the plague is in charge, whether you can live until that time is a matter of two words! Don't ink with me here, get off the bus quickly, hand over all the food and valuable things on your body, and we will spare you from death!"
"What's wrong? Why is there such a big commotion in the blue sky and daytime?"
In the middle, Zhao Hengrui lifted the curtain, turned over and jumped down.
Outside, they looked like a group of flat-headed people, all of them covered their mouths and noses, and they didn't have the breath of mountain bandits, not like mountain bandits.
"Boss, boss, you see that he is dressed like a dog, the material on his body is still brocade, and there is a jade pendant hanging from his waist, he must be a rich man, we can't let them go today!"
Several people gathered together to plot for a while, and stood on both sides with shovels and axes.
They have hijacked a lot of carriages today, but they are either women, children, or some poor people who are difficult to open the pot to heal, and in the end they have not been able to do it, and now they have finally caught a rich man, and they will never let it go again.
"Fight, rob, you, didn't you see it, hurry, hurry up and take out all the things on your body, otherwise, don't, don't blame us for being polite!"
Zhao Hengrui looked at their appearance, and guessed that they should be desperate villagers who were cornered by the epidemic, and suddenly felt a little emotion in his heart.
He raised his hand to take out a roll of silver tickets from his sleeve.
"Hey, look, he's going to use the knife, brothers, come on, catch him first!"
For a while, the scene was chaotic, Zhao Hengrui looked at the people in front of him dumbfounded and wanted to step forward to kill him, and his hands trembled a little.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be like this, if you have something to say, you won't use the knife, ah, everyone!"
Before Zhao Hengrui could finish speaking, a group of people had already rushed up, opened their bows left and right, and hit him.
The situation was pressing, and Zhao Hengrui was no longer ambiguous, and he dodged the attack of the shovel next to him with a turnover.
Although his martial arts are not Song Zeyi's opponents, he has also practiced well with martial arts masters, and it is naturally not a problem to solve these few problems.
"Can you listen to me, I, I can give you the money! Stop fighting!"
In a word, everyone present stopped in an instant and stared straight at Zhao Hengrui.
Zhao Hengrui stood up, and waited for his breath to be evened out before he slowly spoke.
"I, I have a silver ticket on me, I don't think you are a robber, you are all forced by the situation, and you have no ability to make a living, so you embarked on this road."
After a few words, all the people on the other side looked at me and I looked at you, and no one did anything else.
"It's not a secret, big brothers, I came out this time, and I was forced to have no way out by the epidemic, I went to a distant place to join my relatives, this money is not much, but it is enough to solve the food and clothing of the brothers for a while, you can take it first."
Zhao Hengrui took out the silver ticket in his sleeve and stuffed it into the hand of the person who led him.
The man's face was full of disbelief, and he put the silver in his hand
I took out the tickets and counted them, and then I breathed a sigh of relief, distributed them to everyone, and threw down the shovels in my hands.
"Hey, Childe, we didn't mean to go down the mountain to be a coward, it's just that because of the recent plague, we have no way to survive, and the price of food has risen greatly, and we really have no choice."
Zhao Hengrui was stunned for a moment, his eyes were a little sad, "Your life is already so difficult, don't there be local officials to help you distribute food?"
Even if the father has no way to deal with the epidemic, he should open the granary to help the local people, how can nothing be implemented?
"Hey, count on the emperor's old son, people enjoy life on the throne, where can they take care of our life and death, the officials know about the epidemic here, they all flee one after another, my family has no one to treat, the sick get sick, the starve to death, but the officials have to increase taxes, they simply don't leave us a way to live!"
"Yes, it is better to count on them than on yourself, they are high and deserve to die!"
"Yes, apart from the current crown prince and Master Song, what other good things does the royal family have!"
The sound and every sentence were all stabbed in Zhao Hengrui's heart, making him feel a pinprick pain in his heart, which was very unpleasant, guilt and heartache overlapped, and he was almost unable to raise his head when he was sleepy.
"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao, are you okay?"
Inside, Dafu and Xiaofu rushed out, all gathered around Zhao Hengrui, and looked at the people around them vigilantly.
The person next to him saw the figures of the two children, and felt that the silver in his hands was a little hot for a while.
"We, we didn't know you had two children, so, or, return some of the silver taels to you, we only need a part, just survive for the time being!"
In contrast to the fact that the people are so displaced and still care about the livelihood of others, these people in power are simply heinous, spending the people's tax revenues without caring about their lives or deaths.
"No need, old men, I still have some silver here, you can take these first, I have some there, enough."
In this way, those ordinary people were relieved to contain the things in their hands, and sighed heavily.
"Childe, you are really a good person, now there is chaos everywhere, you have two children, it is really difficult to survive in this troubled world! Be sure to stay safe and protect yourself and your children!"
Zhao Hengrui was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, the uncle next to him had already snatched his words.
"Yes, you must be careful, I have recently heard from my relatives who are high-ranking officials in the capital, and it has been very unpeaceful recently!"
