Chapter 442: Paradox

Liu Wei picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, suddenly sat back a little, and asked casually, "Brother Wang, how many people are there in your village?" ”

Wang Zhen seemed to hear the cheers of the wife and daughter next door, and his expression eased a lot, seeing that Liu Wei was relaxed, he relaxed with a little gratitude, and was about to take a big bite, when he heard the words, he smiled bitterly: "There are not many people left, those who can go, they have already left." Now, in these years, I have to leave early tomorrow morning to live wherever I can live. ”

Liu Wei snorted and said, "What do you think should be done now to make the people ...... Do you live and work in peace? ”

Wang Zhen glanced at Liu Wei, put down the hand holding the soup cake, thought seriously for a while, and said, "Unless...... Unless, another day. ”

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, and stared at Wang Zhen indifferently.

Lu Yu outside the door, Huangfu followed in quietly.

Figures outside the window swayed, and someone was silently approaching.

When Wang Zhen saw this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly said: "Yes, it's me who talks too much, that and that...... Brother Tai's surname? No, it's me who is too talkative, please don't be angry. ”

Liu Wei raised his hand, stopped Huangfu Jianchang, squinted his eyes, and said lightly: "This kind of rebellious words should not come out of the mouth of an ordinary man." ”

Wang Zhen's expression tightened, his hand was withdrawn from the table, and said: "This, that, brother, these are not what I said, but people in the city often say this, I occasionally work in the city, and after listening to such a mouth, you, don't talk about it......"

Liu Wei listened, and also felt suspicious, slowly got up, and walked out directly.

Wang Zhen looked at his back, got up hurriedly, and wanted to follow to explain, but Huangfu Jian stopped him, his eyes were cold, and he said with murderous intent: "Today, no one has come, don't say these words of yours again, otherwise, your family will suddenly go out of the water, and no one will escape." ”

Wang Zhen's face changed suddenly, and he immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, I wrote it down, I wrote it down." ”

Huangfu Jian looked at him again and turned to leave.

Liu Wei walked out of the courtyard, looked at the bright moonlight in the sky, and walked casually.

Wang Zhen's words kept circling in his mind.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Wang Zhen's words.

Both theoretically and practically.

Or, 'the Han family will end' and 'change the day', which has been circulated for many years, is just another way of saying this sentence.

On the other side, five or six soldiers were crowded together, talking and laughing and walking back to the county seat.

"This Wang Zhen should be able to blow up a little, and I will go to the Chen family tomorrow, their ancestors have been officials, I am sure that there are good things hidden in the house!"

"The Chen family is a little far away, if you don't go to the Zhao family, I heard that they bought a cow a few days ago!"

"Ploughing cattle? Really, then this Zhao family has to go! Pavilion chief, what do you say? ”

The leading pavilion chief also had his eyes shining, and said, "Now this ploughing cow is not cheap, are you sure that the Zhao family bought it?" Where did they get so much money? ”

"Shall we go and find out? They owe so much money and food, and we are justified in going! ”

"Then I'll go to Zhao's house tomorrow, if they dare to delay any longer, they will be arrested first!"

"Okay, let's do it! There are still so many empty rooms in the prison anyway. ”

"That's right! Catch it first and then say, hey, who are you? ”

The five of them were discussing excitedly, when someone suddenly saw a tall black shadow blocking the way not far away, and immediately shouted in displeasure.

The tall black shadow ignored it, silent, like a pillar, standing on their way.

When one of them saw that he was motionless, he immediately became angry, stepped forward and drew his knife, and shouted: "What kind of dog, dare not talk, your grandfather and me...... Ah......h

In the darkness of the night, the other four couldn't see the movements at all, only hearing a scream and a colleague flying back upside down.

The four of them were stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Chop him up for me!" ”

When the knife was drawn, the four of them angrily pounced on the tall black shadow.

"Ah......h

"Ah......h

"Ah......h

"Ah......h

The four screams were very rhythmic and intermittent, and then the four of them flew out upside down one by one and fell together with the first.

I don't know if it's because the tall black shadow is very heavy, or if these five people are too weak, lying there crookedly, screaming constantly, and they can't get up.

The tall black shadow held a wooden stick in his hand, walked up to the five people, covered his face with a black cloth, his eyes were like copper bells, and said in an urn voice: "If you dare to bully people again, I will break your legs!" ”

The five of them huddled together, staring fearfully at the big man, who was two heads taller than them, and deduced his identity from his leaky eyes.

The leading pavilion chief gritted his teeth and said, "We are the servants of Lu County, you dare to beat us, don't you want to live!?" ”

The tall black shadow stepped forward, pulled his collar like a chicken, and held it high.

"Put me down, put me down!" The pavilion chief suddenly screamed in horror and struggled desperately.

The tall black shadow used all his strength to throw the pavilion chief away.

I don't know how far it was thrown, but in the dark night, I only heard a muffled sound and a scream, and then there was no movement.

The remaining four, trembling with fright, turned pale and crowded back.

The tall black shadow didn't make any more moves, glared and shouted, "Do you dare to bully people?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare to ......" The four of them were so frightened that they almost peed their pants, where did they dare to say anything else.

The tall black shadow glared at a few people, snorted, turned and strode away.

When the four of them saw that his back had completely disappeared, they all went limp and gasped for breath, as if they were the rest of their lives.

"Pavilion Chief!" I don't know how long it took, but finally someone reacted.

Immediately, the four dogs crawled up and searched around.

On the other side, Liu Wei paced and said to Lu Yu: "By the way, did you give them some money just now?" ”

Lu Yu thought for a while, and was about to shake his head, when a plainclothes Imperial City Mansion guard ran over and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good, General Dian Zhonglang, beat those guards." ”

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, then remembered the situation when Dian Wei left, and couldn't help frowning, and said, "Let the second son go to the aftermath." ”

"No, I covered my face and went around in a circle, they didn't know it was me." Dian Wei strode over from the darkness, grinned, and said with a smug smile at Liu Wei.

Liu Wei glared at him angrily, then smiled and said, "You know how to use the art of war." Okay, pack up and go to Lu County. ”

Huangfu Jian hurriedly followed, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that there is something wrong with that Wang Zhen, and it is better for Lu County not to go." ”

Liu Wei waved his hand and said, "An ordinary person who is randomly selected, who can calculate in advance." Okay, don't think about it that much. ”

Huangfu Jian stopped talking, and arranged for a carriage, a large group of people, divided into three carriages, and drove to Lu County.

Sitting in the carriage, Liu Wei was still thinking back to the conversation with Wang Zhen just now.

The drawbacks accumulated by the Han Dynasty over the years cannot be solved by him or the imperial court by issuing a few official documents, nor can they be completely changed by changing a state to a county and a county order.

Serious illness sometimes requires strong medicine, and sometimes it needs to be slowly and carefully regulated.

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me."

Liu Wei closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and whispered to himself.

Lu Yu on both sides, Zhao Yun listened to Liu Wei's sudden voice, and also opened his eyes to look, seeing that he didn't speak again, he slowly followed back and fell asleep again.

They worked harder than Liu Wei, and they didn't have much rest along the way, and they were busy before and after, this was a rare rest time.

"Find a place to rest, and then go to Lu County at dawn."

Liu Wei seemed to feel their hearts, took a deep breath and said.

Dian Wei, who was riding a horse outside, responded to the sound, and then patted the horse to find Zhao Yun.

The carriage slowed down rapidly, or even stopped.

But Liu Wei was a little irritable and was already sleepy, and fell asleep slowly.

The others did not dare to disturb, and each found a place to rest, and those who could not sleep whispered.

I don't know how long I slept, Liu Bei was awakened by a strange sound.

He rubbed his eyes sleepily, lifted the curtain, opened it and looked out.

I saw a group of monks, who walked forward in groups along both sides of the road, with their hands folded and their expressions reverent.

Liu Wei was stunned, stretched out his head, looked left and right, and couldn't help but be stunned.

He didn't know how far ahead, there were bald heads everywhere, and there was no end in sight behind him, and a rough estimate was that there were one or two thousand people at least.

"One or two thousand monks?"

Liu Wei was surprised, in his previous life and in this life, it was the first time he had seen so many monks with his own eyes.

Lu Yu quietly came to the window and said softly: "Your Majesty, I heard that Lu County is holding a Buddha bathing festival, and these are all going to worship the Buddha. ”

"Buddha bathing festival?"

It was the first time for Liu Wei to hear about this festival, and he was a little curious about the development of Buddhism in the Han Dynasty, and said, "Is there a lot of people?" Who started it? ”

"It seems that Pengcheng is in harmony." Lu Yu said.

Liu Wei frowned and said, "Prepare to wash up and enter the city later." ”

Lu Yu responded, and then a guard brought a washbasin and a brush.

Liu Wei didn't care about this, poked his teeth with a brush, and then rubbed the surface of the pavement with cold water to finish.

He was suddenly refreshed, looked back and forth, and saw that there were not only monks, but also many people, with their families and mouths, with different expressions, beckoned Huangfu Jianchang and Zhao Yun, and said in a low voice: "After your palace, I took Dian Wei and Lu Yu and entered Lu County with the crowd. ”

Huangfu Jianchang's face changed slightly, and he said urgently: "Your Majesty can't!" Your Majesty's whereabouts may have been leaked, so it's better to be careful. ”

Liu Wei looked in the direction of Lu County, waved his hand, and said, "There are not so many magic tricks. Prepare yourselves. ”

In the eyes of Huangfu Jianchang, Liu Wei is the kind of person who suddenly has an idea or idea and has to act immediately, in short, he is a 'person who says he will leave', and others can't persuade him at all.

He glanced at Zhao Yun and took the order to make arrangements.

So, Liu Wei, Dian Wei, and Lu Yu changed their regular clothes and quietly blended into the eastward crowd on the official road.

Liu Wei looked before and after, they were all monks, but there were many ragged people on the other side, who had the heart to talk, but when he saw the monks in front and back, his hands folded, chanting silently, he didn't raise his head, he opened his mouth a few times, but he didn't pay attention to him.

Seeing that Lu County was still far away, Liu Wei was patient, followed the crowd, and moved slowly.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a burst of 'Amitabha' in front of me, surging backwards like a tide.

The monks were relatively calm, while the disheveled people on the opposite side were excited, and the calm procession was instantly chaotic, and I don't know how many people rushed forward and shouted.

Liu Wei also stood on tiptoe and looked forward curiously, but they were all human heads and couldn't see anything.

"Amitabha,"

At this time, the monk behind him finally spoke, his face was compassionate, and he said: "Don't worry, don't worry, the holy Buddha has porridge all the way, and you can't finish eating, so you don't need to worry." ”

Liu Wei looked back at him, his heart moved slightly, and said, "Holy Buddha? Is there so much food? ”

"Amitabha,"

This is a middle-aged monk, his face is full of sadness, but he smiled and said: "The Holy Buddha has repeatedly asked for it, and the imperial court has exempted Peng Chengguo from paying taxes for three years, and these money and grain have been used by the Holy Buddha to make porridge." Such a sacred heart should be regarded as a Buddha, and death will return to bliss. ”

Liu Wei looked at him, and his mind changed for a while.

Who is the Holy Buddha? Can you still ask the imperial court to exempt Peng Chengguo from paying taxes for three years? Also used for porridge?

Is it who is buying people's hearts?

Liu Wei was about to ask a question, but the monk said: "Donor, please continue to move forward, don't think too much." ”

Liu Wei turned around, only to see that it was already empty, so he hurriedly followed, not forgetting to turn around and say, "Master, is it really enough to eat?" ”

The monk smiled and said, "The donor just needs to move forward." ”

Liu Wei wanted to ask again, but seeing that the crowd was surging and the people in the rear had already rushed up, he had to hold back and quickly catch up.

Not long after walking, Liu Wei came to a pergola, and saw a few people wearing monk robes and beards, busy cooking porridge, bowl by bowl at the same time, and there were pieces of dough on the side, allowing passing people to eat and drink.

Liu Bian's eyes widened and he looked at this scene incredulously.

You must know that the Han Dynasty has been embarrassed for many years, not only in the imperial court, but also locally.

Among them, there are years of war, and there are also natural and man-made disasters, and only those who have a deep background in the big families can live comfortably.

But there is no one who can wantonly make porridge and let the people eat and drink!

How thick the family foundation is, it has to be eaten and wiped clean!

"Donor, please." The 'monk' in the shed was stunned when he saw Liu Wei stunned, and said very politely.

Seeing that there was a vacant piece in front of him, and a voice behind him urging eagerly, Liu Wei hurriedly picked up a bowl of porridge and walked forward.

Lu Yu also took a bowl of porridge, but Dian Wei took a bowl of porridge and three pieces of dough cakes.

The people in the shed did not stop it, as if they didn't see it, and continued to serve porridge to the people behind.

Liu Wei was even more surprised, the strength of this soup soup was a bit beyond imagination.

He glanced at the porridge in his hand, paused, and opened his mouth to take a few sips.

It's thick!

Liu Wei's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the pergola as he walked, and his intuition was extremely weird, so strange that he couldn't believe it.

Lu Yu followed behind Liu Wei and said in a low voice: "Childe, I asked a few questions, there are less than five miles to Lu County, and there is porridge every two miles, let the monks and people eat and drink until they are full." ”

Liu Wei looked at Lu County, which was not far ahead, and was full of doubts in his heart, and said, "Is it the Buddha Bathing Festival?" Why do I feel paradoxical? ”

Lu Yu also felt incredible, there are still such saints in the world?

This saint is too generous!

Generous luxury!
