Chapter Eighty-Five: Trouble
Jiang Dong stepped forward, "The villain doesn't know, the villain will go and see." ”
Jiang Han hesitated for a moment, "I'll go in person." ”
At the entrance of the alley, Shui Xiu paused, looking at the crowd in front of her in shock, she looked around, although it was dark, it was not difficult to see that she did not recognize the wrong way, so why did there suddenly be so many people in the clean alley?
She scraped some wall ash from the wall and smeared it on her face, then blended into the crowd, pretending not to know and lowered her voice, "Auntie, why are we here?" I haven't eaten for a few days, and I'm hungry, so why don't you save your energy and rest at home? ”
The mother-in-law next to her looked shrewd, and her eyes rolled around, "Then how did you get here?" ”
"Isn't this just watching everyone coming, and thinking about it too?"
"That's right, I heard that this family just moved here some time ago, there is a lot of stored grain, we are all hungry this day, why do the rich and noble people here swallow so much food by themselves, so that others are not happy?! Let's come over together, if this family gives face and takes the initiative to take some food out, we won't come in vain, but if they give face shame, then let's go up and grab it! ”
Shui Xiu was shocked, "Ah...... Is that good? ”
"We're not going to get caught."
"Girl, you are stupid, there are so many of us, even if something really happens, what can the government do with us? Besides, it was supposed to be, the sky suddenly changed, so many people are suffering, poor and hungry, why do these rich and noble families enjoy happiness in the past, and don't they come out to help when we need it?! They deserved to be robbed. ”
Shui Xiu was completely shocked by the shamelessness of these people.
It's a matter of people who have money, what does it have to do with these refugees? Why should you give it to them for nothing? It's just that when they take it, they are still so arrogant, other people's things don't give them, but they feel that people are sorry for them?
What a shame!!
But Shui Xiu didn't show it all at once, she said with a smile, "Thank you, auntie, I know." ”
While the eldest lady was crowding into the crowd, Shui Xiu quietly came out of the crowd, looking at so many refugees, she just said that it was not good, she had to quickly find a way to help the third miss, otherwise the third miss would be in a difficult situation.
After thinking about it for a while, Shui Xiu went straight to the mansion, "Please find Lord Fu Yin, there is a riot in Yulin Lane, and many people are besieging the house, begging Lord Fu Yin to send someone to suppress it." ”
The official guarding the door was helpless, "In the past, it was okay, but now there is turmoil everywhere, and the yamen is no longer there at the moment, please ask for more blessings." ”
"Big brother, please."
"It's not that no, it's that there is no one, the officials are all out, you should go around quickly, if you can meet the officials patrolling the street, see if you can beg them, it's much better than wasting time in front of the yamen with me now."
Shui Xiu was anxious, it could be seen that what the official said was also the truth, she didn't dare to delay time, so she could only trot around the city, and suddenly saw the palace guard.
"Your Excellency, Help, Your Excellency!" Shui Xiu greeted him happily.
Yulin Lane.
Zhao Mingruo wore a cloak, holding a lantern made of bright paper in his hand, and went out by the faint candlelight, just about to ask about the guards before coming to the door, Yan Huai'an's figure followed, his steps were gentle and elegant, his back was as thin as bamboo, and his crescent-colored brocade robe was cut just right, and as he walked slowly, the tall figure blocked the cold wind of the night for her.
"You're a woman, it's inconvenient to show up, let me deal with it."
The faint fragrance of herbs was permeating, and Zhao Mingruo was inexplicably at ease, but she was worried about Yan Huai'an's body.
Yan Huai'an's voice was warm, "It's okay." ”
The door opened, and the crowd who were still arguing was a little surprised to see the person who came, and others told them that the person in the house was a lonely and weak woman, so it was easy to bully, but it was a man inside, and there were many guards around him.
This aura doesn't look like an ordinary person, but it looks like a young master from a powerful and rich family, but it's not so easy to handle.
"Why did you knock on the door so quickly?" Yan Huai'an was dressed in white in the snow, with a special demeanor, like a jade tree, like a son in the turbid world.
The people who made trouble outside the door were a little weak-hearted, I don't know if they were looking for the wrong person, but since it had become like this, they couldn't escape now, so they hurriedly stepped forward and sold miserably, "Oh, young master, the villains are hungry, they are going to starve to death, so I have no choice but to come to you to try my luck, and ask the young master to reward the villains for a good mood." ”
"Yes, yes, young master, I'm going to starve to death."
Yan Huai'an's face was calm, most of these people were dressed in clean and tidy clothes, and they could see at a glance that they were civilians in the past, even if the snow closed the door, these people didn't really can't eat a mouthful of food, and they didn't need to make trouble to beg for food.
These people have more than just intentions.
But he didn't poke it in public, but said calmly, "Now that the sky has changed, the imperial court has known the danger of the people, in addition to the official officials, even the palace guards have been dispatched to maintain law and order, and porridge sheds have been set up in various places for relief, even if there is no silver, you can choose to help build a porridge factory to rely on labor in exchange for food." ”
"Other powerful and high-ranking families have also come to the rescue and contributed people, including the Yanguo Mansion and the Changning Mansion have set up two grain shops in Lin'an City, and a certain amount of grain is distributed every day, all of which are sold at the price before the heavy snowfall, and the price is not raised, as long as everyone takes the silver, they can buy it."
"The current situation is difficult, and we need the people of Daqi to work together to deal with it, even so, if there are still people who do not respect the law and discipline and gather to make trouble, they will still be executed, so there is no need to leave anything to chance."
Yan Huai'an's voice was very good, he was just calmly talking about the facts, and the majesty in his tone was still difficult to hide, and when the words fell, the guards of the Yan Guogong Mansion in the mansion stepped forward with swords, and there were already many people who wanted to take advantage of the excitement and retreated, and some insisted.
"Then you also want to help us anyway, so what's wrong with giving us some food now?" The rest of the crowd is still holding on.
The guards in the house were just about to act, and Zhao Mingruo was also about to scold.
Jiang Han's soft voice spoke faintly, "Yan Shizi is too kind, we must be gentle and patient with the law-abiding and good people, but for these Diao people who clearly want to take advantage, we have to use the law." ”
"Xiaodong, what is the crime of forcibly breaking into a house and robbing property?"
Jiang Dong echoed on the side, "Lord Huijiang, according to the laws of Daqi, the owner of the mansion has the right to settle the problem on the spot for those who forcibly enter. ”
Brush Brush Brush –
The guards of the Yan Kingdom Mansion had already lit up their long swords, but the guards of the Jiang Mansion quickly put the blade of the sword on the neck of the person who was in front of the troublemaker.
