In the inn hall, there were many people crowded together, all of them in rags, and their faces were gray, as if they were covered with a layer of dust. Jiang Huaiyang stood in front of him with his hands in his hands, which was particularly eye-catching.

A few of the guards who accompanied him stood out to each other, which made these people live in peace.

Ruan Yuyi wore a snow-green skirt, her hair was decorated with butterfly and silver hairpins, and she walked down from the dim place upstairs with the handrails, the sun shone on her, and the butterflies on the hairpin also swayed and fluttered like wings.

She glanced at it, deliberately passed the guard, and called out, "Husband." The two guards along the road were forced to lower their swords.

She put her arms around him, leaning most of her weight on him as if she were boneless, thinking about something secretly, and her drooping eyes were awe-inspiring.

Jiang Huaiyang looked at her sideways, "Didn't you want to stay up there?" "He couldn't let her hurt anymore.

The first-class people below couldn't help but speak, "What you just said is true? His eyes sparkled with distrust.

They came from a city in northern Xinjiang, and they were displaced all the way, dragging their families and mouths here. It's just that the officials in the city are driving away the displaced people who have broken into the city, and they have been hiding in the ruined temple for two days, and they can't hold it anymore, so they rush into the nearby inn.

"It's true." Jiang Huaiyang said lightly.

But the homeless man who seemed to be the leader did not waver for half a minute, but sneered, "You said that you would provide rice and grain shelter, and you are so stupid as us?" It's just an excuse to drive us back! ”

His suppressed voice revealed the wind and frost he had endured in the past few days, as well as his hostility towards the brocade-clothed man in front of him.

They hear too many such words, and everywhere they pass, they are driven away by both hard and soft measures. But why? Are not the people of the city that is by, the people?

On the one hand, the tone of the five or six-year-old child's own father was frightened, and he went straight into his mother's arms, and the low cry was especially loud at this time.

The woman hugged her child tightly, her body bowed slightly, and she stared at the person in front of her, completely defensive. She was silent for a moment, intending to get up.

The guards on the side were startled and laid their swords across her face. What the woman was afraid of, her hands around the child were already trembling slightly.

Ruan Yuyi's throat froze, and she blurted out, "What to do?" Don't put the sword down yet. ”

After all, the guards were the ones used by the new emperor, and when she heard her orders, they only hesitated, but did not withdraw their raised hands.

"Are you deaf?" Jiang Huaiyang said slowly.

The contemptuous tone fell into the ears of the guard, but it made him shiver, and he understood that the new emperor was echoing Concubine Jin, and hurriedly put the sword into the sheath. The remaining guards hesitated for a moment, and they also collected their cold blades.

The tense atmosphere in the hall has disappeared a lot.

Ruan Yuyi pulled her hand from Jiang Huaiyang, took a clean handkerchief, and wanted to wipe the child's tears directly, but after a pause, she handed it to the woman. "Don't be afraid, it doesn't matter." She said softly.

The woman shrank back, staring at the woman in the beautiful dress in front of her, and did not answer.

She sighed, trying to relieves the woman, "He didn't coax you. ”

The woman pursed her lips and asked, "Why do you say that?" She didn't listen to such words, although she wouldn't believe them easily, but there was inevitably hope in her tone.

If they can really live, who would be happy to leave their hometown?

"Can you tell me where you're going?" Ruan Yuyi said as softly as she could, not wanting to scare her again.

When the woman saw that she was kind, she was slightly willing to say a few more words, "In order to sue the royal court." "In order to bring down that corrupt official and take back the power to live.

Hearing this, she was stunned and subconsciously looked back.

He is long and jade, with handsome eyebrows and handsome eyes, especially when he is wearing civilian clothes, he is more like an ordinary noble son, where would anyone think that the person they are looking for is standing there, but they don't know.

Xu Shi, the leader of the homeless people, still harbored a glimmer of hope, hoping that he would really do what he said, and asked again, "Why do you want us to believe that you will fulfill your promise?" ”

Jiang Huaiyang opened his lips and asked, "Didn't you say that you wanted to sue the emperor?" What are the consequences? "Generally, there will be a drum in front of the official house, and this parent official is not easy to sue.

The man's eyes were stoic, and he gritted his teeth and said word by word, "If the people sue the official, if the son kills his father, he should first be punished with fifty strokes, and even if he wins, he will be sentenced to two thousand miles." ”

His voice was sonorous and powerful, like a big drum, echoing in the inn.

He knew that sitting on fifty flogs was tantamount to asking for someone's life, but he was forced to a desperate situation, and the last method had to be tried.

"If you know, do you want to sue?"

"Sue!"

Jiang Huaiyang smiled suddenly, and it took a long time to remove the smile, lift his eyelids and say, "Well, stop it." "He was born in the palace since he was a child, although he was humiliated because of his biological mother's humble background, but fortunately he was protected by the concubine and did not lack food and clothing, and he did not experience the suffering of these people.

If the people can make such a determination, the magistrate will indeed not be able to stay.

It's just that he doesn't know, such things he doesn't know, and geometry.

Seeing that his eyes were slightly dark, Wen Pheasant, who was standing on his side, retracted his gaze. It seems that there will inevitably be a bloody storm in the court, and those who collude with corruption are afraid that their good days will come to an end.

The leader opened his lips, "What do you mean?" He remembered that the new emperor had only been on the throne for a few months, and he was a young man in his twenties, with a cold temperament and a penchant for Xuanyi-

He slowly widened his eyes, and the Xuanyi Langjun in front of him was still staring at him.

He reacted, but his throat seemed to be half choked, and he couldn't say a word.

The woman and Ruan Yuyi glanced at each other. Ruan Yuyi took the child from her hand, patted him gently on the back and coaxed him, while wiping away his tears. There was a lot of sand and dust on his face, and he changed two handkerchiefs to make it a lot whiter.

The woman also looked at the head, shouted a few "long live" and then counted the crimes of the official for her husband. At this time, there are no fellow township party clansmen who do not hide their mouths and cry.

In fact, this matter has long been aware, and when these displaced people traveled eastward, the officials who had increased taxes without authorization had been demoted and exiled, and the new officials were handed over.

But they didn't come for nothing.

Jiang Huaiyang's eyes were gloomy, and he said "Yun" in a low voice.

The woman seemed to have unloaded a thousand pounds of weight from her body at once, and almost fell to the ground crying. Her child was still young, and she didn't know what to do, but when she saw her mother like this, she was uneasy and crying to find her.

Ruan Yuyi really couldn't hold him anymore, so she took it over by Mu Xiang.

.

As soon as this matter was over, Wen Pheasant and others settled these people, and soon sent chariots and horses back to the city, and those who did not want to leave moved here to settle down. But Ruan Yuyi didn't know that he had arranged it like this.

After dawn, their group also set off to return to Beijing.

Inside the car, the incense ball wafted out the fragrance leisurely, lingering in her nose. She was silent for a moment and asked, "Are those people really going to be dealt with according to what that man said?" ”

His face remained unchanged, and he followed her words and said, "The law of Dawu has been like this for generations-"

"The concubines just don't understand what is wrong with those people." Even though this has been the case throughout the ages, there has never been a mistake.
