Chapter 87: Sue to the Yamen
The sunset is sinking, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyes both sides of the Wei River into a golden yellow, just like the wheat waves of the harvest in previous years, which makes people sigh. And now it's just a barren grass!
"Mother, the land on both sides of the Weishui River is fertile, why don't you grow food?"
Luo Dabao squatted down, touched the fertile and moist soil, and asked suspiciously.
Luo Lingzhi and Bai Shu came out together to check whether there were hidden dangers in the city wall, after all, they had already entered the city, and this city wall was very important, so it was not safe to see in person if they didn't see it in person.
"Alas!"
It was Bai Shu who sighed this time, "I heard the people in the city say that there was a great drought before, and the Weishui almost ran out. By the time it rained again this year, the iceberg snow melted and flowed through Weicheng, and the cultivation season had long passed. Then the news of the rebellion of King Beixin and King Duan came, and Emperor Feng increased taxes regardless of the lives of the people, except for some family backgrounds, most of the ordinary people who couldn't survive fled......"
There are even refugees fleeing the famine in Weicheng!
Luo Dabao thought that Weicheng was far more lively and prosperous than he imagined, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Second uncle and grandfather, I see that the city is full of people, and most of them are neatly dressed, but I didn't expect that there were also escapees!" ”
"If it weren't for Tao Tingshi's timely order for disaster relief, I'm afraid that more people would have lost their lives."
It is not difficult to hear the approval in Bai Shu's tone. He had only had a few encounters with the outstanding Tao family Lang before, and after a long time, he never thought that he would hear about the deeds of the old man again in such an embarrassed situation today, but he had no face to ask to see.
"Tao Thorn Shi is a good official who asks for the people's life, and Dabao must be on par!"
Luo Lingzhi lowered his head, seeing his son's burning eyes, he couldn't help but reach out and rub his delicate and lovely braids, "Dabao has such ambitions, my mother is proud of you." ”
As the twilight fell, Luo Lingzhi, who didn't notice anything wrong, returned to his temporary resting place.
At the edge of the desert, a procession of thousands of people crossed the wilderness and gradually stepped into the range of Weicheng.
"When you arrive in Weicheng, you father and son will stay at will. Just don't follow us anymore! ”
Wei Jinyu glanced at Bai Zhu and the others with disgust, and looked at the towering city wall under the sunset not far away.
It's finally almost here, Second Uncle Cui is in Weicheng, just in time to check the pulse of Gongzi.
As soon as the tired and panting white pile heard that this group of people didn't care about themselves, he immediately scolded, "Why don't you care about us, I didn't save your son-in-law, and you treat your life-saving benefactor like this?" ”
This group of people has money, food and soldiers, and they definitely have a good life with them, how can they just let go of the big fat sheep in their hands! Bai Zhu thought in his heart, and his eyes were even redder.
"Benefactor?"
Wei Jinyu sneered, "Hmph! What a shame! Are you the one who saved my son-in-law? If it weren't for the fact that you provided the news, I would have thrown you, a conscience who has forgotten your ancestors, into the heart of the desert. Now that I have taken you out of the desert, it is already a good child, don't know what to do. ”
The white stump is about to make trouble again.
Swish!
The soldier next to him directly pulled out his knife, and the bright light of the knife instantly shut up Bai Zhuan.
Bai Lingqing on the side also hurriedly hid behind the white pile, retracted his head that poked out, and wondered how to continue to follow this group of people.
Only Bai Lingyu, who lowered his head, felt guilty, and after Bai Pile Trouble Shui Dong was involved in Luo Lingzhi, he had no face to stay in the clan anymore.
If it weren't for Luo Lingzhi's safety later, he would have wanted to apologize with death.
The barren grass is overgrown, leaving traces of pedestrians, the scorching summer breeze blows, and the grass is green and swaying in the wind, as if no one has ever set foot in it.
"Tell Luo Lingzhi that cheap woman to come out, God has no eyes, I didn't even take this cheap hoof who thundered five thunders in the sky to hell, poor my head doesn't know where to lie now, and my poor son......"
Before Luo Lingzhi approached, he heard the knife-sharpening howl of the Bai family's eldest aunt.
It's really haunting!
Bai Panpan, who had redressed over there, saw Luo Lingzhi and immediately patted the hand of the eldest aunt of the Bai family, "Mother, Luo Lingzhi's cheap woman is here, let's go to her and ask her about the whereabouts of my father and second brother." ”
The last time I couldn't trouble Luo Lingzhi but was beaten back, Bai Panpan was even more angry, knowing that the three-legged cat kung fu family members of Xing Sanye's family couldn't beat Luo Lingzhi at all, and thought that Bai Zhu and Bai Lingqing didn't know where they were thrown away, so they came up with such a trick.
If you want to put the charge of abandoning your relatives regardless of the safety of your elders on Luo Lingzhi's head, so as to cause public indignation, the bigger the trouble, the better, it is best to let Tao Tingshi, who has always been diligent in government and love the people, know that he will drive out such people who have lost virtue.
Bai Panpan played a good calculation.
The eldest aunt of the Bai family was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately cried and pounced, "Luo Lingzhi, where did you throw your eldest uncle, pity his illness, he was actually abandoned by you, I am afraid that he will die long ago at this time." Poor ...... Woo woo, you conscienceless ......"
When the people in Weicheng heard the excitement, they all gathered together, and when they heard the accusation of the Bai family's aunt, they couldn't help but look at Luo Lingzhi in surprise.
This girl who looks so smart is so ruthless!
Bai Lingqing was so angry that he stepped forward directly and scolded angrily, "It's really the wicked who sue first!" The ungrateful members of your family actually framed your cousin Lingzhi, it's unreasonable! ”
Li Zheng saw that the people in Weicheng were prejudiced against Luo Niangzi, so he immediately stood up and shouted loudly: "Don't listen to the one-sided words of this poisonous woman. I am the head of the village, I know this poisonous woman's family, Luo Niangzi has rescued everyone several times before, not only did they not repay the favor, but they repeatedly framed Luo Niangzi, it is simply no conscience! ”
"How can we have something like you in Baihe Village!"
"That's it, how good Luo Niangzi is, we all have eyes, look at it!"
The clansmen all stood up to defend Luo Lingzhi.
"You are all deceived by her, if she Luo Lingzhi is really so good, why is my father and my second brother still unknown! Isn't it just thrown down by her Luo Lingzhi! ”
Bai Panpan immediately quibbled, biting the matter of Bai Zhu and Bai Lingqing not following, blaming it on Luo Lingzhi's viciousness.
The other refugees who had come along the way couldn't take it anymore.
"Humph! I think Luo Niangzi is still too merciful regardless of them, and if she wants to replace me, Zhao Pan will definitely kill them directly. ”
A slender young man with bright eyes stepped forward and sneered unabashedly. The young man has handsome facial features, and his slightly dark complexion is different from the graceful demeanor of the son of the family, but he has another bearing, which makes people feel reliable.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked over in surprise or frowning.
Bai Panpan secretly hated, and his tears immediately fell down, sobbing and accusing: "You are too much. When did my father offend you and say such vicious words. ”
"You are so unreasonable, you actually open your mouth and shut your mouth to ask for people's lives!"
"Girl, don't cry, let's go to the government, we must make this group of people look good......"
Bai Panpan's delicate and weak crying appearance suddenly aroused the desire of the uninformed to protect, and several impulsive men rushed up to arrest Luo Lingzhi and the others.
