"May I ask you a question?"

Yike looked around at the ruined and dilapidated courtyard in front of him, and sighed in his heart.

"What's the problem?"

Alain snapped off a branch cleanly and threw it into the burning fire.

"You're from the Great Liang?"

Yike asked.

Alain propped his chin with his hands, his petite face glowing red in the flickering firelight, looking particularly delicate, without the slightest ripple, just a "um" word coming out of his snort.

"You...... Is it the rich second generation? Or is it the second generation of officials? ”

Yike thought for a moment, but still chose this abrupt question.

Alan raised his willow eyebrows lightly, a pair of dark eyes glowing with a little starlight, staring at Yike, and his lips opened slightly:

"Rich ...... Second generation? What do you mean? ”

Yike reacted at this time, and quickly explained:

"Oh, that is, if you have a huge amount of property waiting for you to inherit, then you are the second generation of wealth."

Alain smiled when he heard this,

"Does the second generation of officials mean that the father is an official, and the person who can inherit his father's official position is the second generation of officials."

“……”

Yike wanted to give a pertinent explanation, although there was generally a hereditary system in ancient times, but it was passed on to men and not to women, but when I thought that this was not the ancient I knew, what if? So I had to nod and say:

"Well, you can understand it that way."

Seeing that Alan suddenly raised his eyebrows, Yike hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"You don't have to be burdened, I'm just asking casually, if it's convenient for you, you can not answer."

Then Yike smiled slyly, "Of course, if you say it, I will also keep it a secret for you!" ”

Alain, who was still full of sorrow, felt warm in his heart when he heard the first half of the sentence, but as soon as the second half of the sentence came out, he gave the other party a big white eye, and then his face sank again.

"I'm just thinking about how I'm going to express myself to you."

"Actually, I should count both."

As soon as Yike heard this, his heart suddenly set off a wave of waves, good guy, this is a proper Bai Fumei, this thigh is really not wrong.

But after thinking about it again, Yike's mood sank to the bottom of the lake again, so he had to sigh lightly, reached out and patted Alain's shoulder, comforting:

"Eh, it's a pity, such a good family background was washed away by the flood.

"Mourning!"

Alain's expression changed suddenly, and he waved his hand to open Yike's palm,

"Is there something wrong with this person, what are you talking nonsense!"

Yike was stunned and puzzled: "What...... What's wrong? Any questions? ”

"Yes, of course there is a problem, it's still big, my parents are still alive, what do you want me to mourn?"

Alan said indignantly: "If you can't speak, you can not speak, it's really..."

With that, he took out a wooden stick again, broke it into several pieces, and kept muttering, throwing the wooden sticks into the fire one by one.

"Hmph, if you don't say it, you won't say it!"

Yike was not used to her, glanced at Alain, turned his head to the side, and muttered unconvinced: "Then I won't say anything, including my method, I won't say anything."

Alan looked angry, and when he heard Yike's words, he glared at him even more angrily, and then turned his head to look at the wild vegetables that were churning above the fire, his eyes lit up, he picked up a branch on the ground, and kept stirring it to spread the fragrance of wild vegetables as much as possible.

For a while, the top of the small iron pot suddenly filled with steam, and the aroma was overflowing.

"Ah, it smells so good."

Alain said loudly.

And the fragrance also wafted into Yike's nostrils as desired.

Wild vegetables, a thing that has not been eaten, can not be said to be unpalatable, can only be said to be insensitive, in their own world, unless you have superior cooking techniques, then wild vegetables are naturally fragrant.

But now, Yike has only one sentence in his head: "No matter how high-end ingredients are, they can't do without the simplest cooking skills".

Yike wanted to isolate himself with strong self-control, but the taste of this boiled wild vegetable was indeed comparable to the delicacies of the mountains and seas at this time, and he had already lived a life without a meal, plus he had been shopping in the east of the city for a day today, and this stomach had already started a silent protest.

It is never a sin for a manly man to bow his head to a woman.

"What, you said you would take care of me!"

Yike said.

"Really?"

Alain hung his fluttering palm in the air, frowned, and pretended to think,

"Did I say that?"

"I just remember someone saying they wanted to share their solution with me."

"I said, I'm sure, I didn't say I wouldn't tell you."

Yike pursed his mouth, as if he was a strict wife.

Seeing that Yike seemed to have suffered a big loss, Alan turned his head sideways, forced a smile, his little face turned red, and he slowed down, then turned his head and said lightly:

"Okay, I can give it to you, but if you take a bite, you have to say something to me, otherwise ......"

Then an evil light appeared in the corner of his eye, and he glanced at the iron pot that was tumbling and tumbling, and said word by word: "I'll pour it out."

"Count you ruthless......

Yike guarded the last trace of stubbornness in the man's heart, stretched out his hands holding the two branches that had been secretly broken a long time ago, and kept picking them up in the pot.

"When you entered the city, the imperial court once allocated two taels of silver for disaster relief as your pacification expenses, have you heard of this?"

After feasting for a while, Yike said with satisfaction:

"We can start here."

Alain nodded thoughtfully:

"How do you know?"

"What if it's just folk rumors?"

"Besides, if you really have this money, what can you do?"

Indeed, this statement spread among the people not long after everyone entered the city, at first for this amount, Alan was mixed in his heart, happy that everyone had the hope of living, and worried that once this news reached Daliang, it would definitely affect the majesty of the royal family of Daliang.

But fortunately, so far, I haven't seen any substantive moves, except for the charity measures that will only occur once every two days, a bowl of porridge, a few grains of rice, this operation, but it is very smooth.

But now, let's not talk about whether this money really exists, the young man in front of him, who just met him, actually thought about this money for the sake of the people of other countries, isn't this picking a lantern in a dung pit and looking for death, it's just like this, but my heart is more moved.

Yike shook his head when he heard this, a lonely vegetable leaf still hung on the corner of his mouth, and said vaguely:

"You don't understand, this money must exist."

"Otherwise, it is impossible for the emperor of Great Xia to agree to open the gate."

"If it were you, would you?"

"What do you mean?"

Alain stared at Yike, not knowing what he was expecting.

"What do you mean?"

Yike put down the branch in his hand, swallowed his saliva, and said bluntly:

"Do you think that as an emperor, you will make a loss-making deal?"

"I heard that there is a flood in Changshui County every year, in order to prevent the displaced people from making trouble, this pass is closed at this time of the year, this is the behavior of an emperor, what is this called, this is called nothing to do with yourself, and you don't have to worry about it."

"Then why did you open the door now and take the initiative to let you in, so that you wouldn't be afraid of making trouble?"

"Of course he's afraid! However, children understand the truth, risks often coexist with benefits, and the greater the risk, the greater the benefits he reaps. ”

Then Yike sighed, and continued:

"It's impossible to get your money, this picture can only be your people."

"It's also very simple to keep someone, give him warmth, give him a hug, give him a safe haven, that's exactly what you need, so ah, this money must be there."

"It's just not in your hands."

Listening to Yike's sudden and endless analysis of the reason, Alain's heart completely turned upside down, and his gaze at Yike couldn't help but become sharp, he didn't believe that these words could come from the tall young man in front of him, but he was born in Daxia.

"And what do you want to do?"

Alain still abandoned the worries in his heart and asked disapprovingly.

"Simple, we can ......"

Yike was about to blurt out, but the worry in his heart still warned himself that there were some words that could not be said casually, such as that word.

"Clever Picking!"

"Tricky?" Alan looked at Yike suspiciously, not knowing what the other party's trick meant, it was a ploy, and he couldn't help but have some faint expectations in his heart.

"I've also inquired a lot in the past two days, and I'm here today to confirm whether you really haven't received any relief, and I originally thought about doing it myself, but since you appeared, I've changed my mind."

Indeed, in the past two days, Yike has inquired about Tang Zhi County, the magistrate of Liuyun City, and there is a brother-in-law Chen Dali, who usually relies on his brother-in-law to be the magistrate of the county, and has done some evil deeds of bullying the market and bullying men and women, which makes the lives of the people of Liuyun even worse.

And this Tang Zhixian doesn't know whether he is mediocre or confused, although he always has a posture of two sleeves and a breezy posture on weekdays, but when everyone thinks of his fat and oily brother-in-law, they naturally think that this Tang Zhixian must also be a sanctimonious hypocrite, and they all avoid it.

And this Liuyun City is only a small county town, except for the county, they are all small officials who can't be on the stage, this Chen Dali has naturally become the existence of more than 10,000 people under this Liuyun City, and this money naturally passes through his hands, saying that he is not full of private pockets, no one will believe it.

I thought that I would go directly to make a wave, but the matter of the Lin family in Wind and Frost City has been floating in Yike's mind, which also makes Yike a little afraid, in the end, he is still a "novice", if he doesn't succeed, he will have to fold into it again, and become the shortest-lived traverser in history, which is really more than worth the loss.

That's why I became cautious, took the time to take a look at the current situation, and gave myself some motivation by the way, but now that I have Alain, this plan has naturally changed, because I finally have a witness, and I can wash a wave in the open.
