On the wharf of Liwan, the soldiers in charge of patrolling all retreated into the teahouses and taverns on the side of the street.

They had already received an order from Shangguan: today, not a single boat will be pulled into the river.

It was rare to have nothing to do, and it was raining again, so I made an appointment in twos and threes, and went into the teahouse tavern to hide lazily.

Only the big ships that docked at the end of the day were left with ten men on each of them to guard the boats.

Because the cabins of those ships were all filled with grain. It was purchased from the south by several grain merchants in the city.

These days there was a disturbance among the people, and the grain was not unloaded from the ships.

According to the plan, it will have to wait until the flood has passed before it will be quietly transported to the city.

It's just such a big matter, of course, only a few henchmen know about it, so those soldiers who are responsible for staying behind don't pay much attention to it, and they are relatively slack.

Who wants to stand outside like a fool in such weather?

Therefore, those soldiers who could not go to the teahouse tavern to hide from the rain and have a drink by the way found a place to hide.

The damp wind, carrying the drizzle, kept blowing from the surface of the river to the shore.

The lanterns were blown and the debris flew on the silent docks.

The wind caused some small boats docked along the shore to flutter and sway.

"Boom!"

The groomer, dressed in a robe, shrunk his neck tightly, dragged a long shadow, and sounded the first gong.

And as he walked farther and farther away, many black figures came out of the small boats and the black canopy, and quietly dived into the water.

One of the chariot and horse shopkeepers, Zhang Yun, wiped his face after diving into the water, and looked in the direction of the embankment worriedly.

I secretly prayed in my heart: the adults must not have anything to do, and the embankment must not have anything to do.

……

And at the same time, the other side. And the state city, the west city gate.

The two gatekeepers crouched by the small door embedded in the gate, muttering quietly.

"Listen to a little movement. We can't hold Master Di back tonight. ”

"Know...... Alas, I really obeyed Master Nadi, but I was risking my head. He's still so young......"

"He'll just follow us, so what else is there to say? My son had an accident, and he saved him. If he has something, I will dare to let it out. ”

"I don't dare to say it. He saved your son and my mother. If it weren't for him, my wife would have died in the middle of the road, and I wouldn't even be able to see him...... I'm just worried about what will happen to him. ”

"It's okay, let's trust him."

"Hmm!"

At this moment, the footsteps of Si Si Suo Suo were heard outside the door. Sounds like a lot.

The two of them quickly stood up and opened the small door.

A person wearing a hat on his head and a blank cloth bag on his shoulder, obviously looking like a poor person, tightly pursed the corners of his mouth and pressed his head, and rushed in.

As they passed by, they both bowed deeply.

Their tears were about to fall, but they felt their blood boiling.

The meaning of being a soldier may not lie in how many enemies you have eliminated or how many honors you have received, but in this kind of emotion, you will reap the highest achievements.

And tonight, many people were moved by each other's feelings.

When the people received the news at the end of the day, the obedient silence came.

Even if I was skeptical, I still came.

For they cannot wait, much less the soil of the field.

Many of their family members have been arrested, and they want to make a big fuss.

At that time, I heard someone whisper: The Master Di, who has solved countless cases, promised that they could get the rice and take the family, no matter how hesitant they were, they were still willing to believe and fight once at this time.

Now that the city gate was opened, most of his heart was relieved, and he became more and more cooperative.

The wind is getting stronger, but the rain is slowly weakening.

The people buried their heads, one by one, against the base of the wall, silently walking through the darkness.

Tonight's state city is exceptionally dark.

I don't know when the lanterns hanging on both sides of the street will go out.

Occasionally, I could only hear the sound of the husband beating the watchman, and it was still far away from them.

The sound of the horses' hooves of the patrol soldiers never came close to the vicinity.

The long procession, from one place to the outside, stretched out of the city.

Some of them whispered to them and took away the sacks of grain they had brought.

Soon, bags after bags of stuff were passed quietly.

It's the rice, they can feel it.

You can even smell the fragrance of new rice at the tip of your nose.

Everyone was cheered up.

There is food, there is food.

Quick, get out!

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

……

Inside and outside the prison of the Assassin's Palace, the people who were also led to leave quietly also accelerated their pace, followed the people at the front, and gradually joined the team to deliver food.

No one could see who was who.

But everyone knows: the food has arrived, and there is a way to live this year; Relatives are back, they will be fine, everything will be fine.

Someone quietly left the group, trying to take advantage of the darkness to go somewhere else.

didn't slip far before he was knocked unconscious and dragged away.

At this time, there is a problem with those who are disobedient.

If you hear a movement and get up to pick up a candle and want to go out to check, you will hear a low and stern warning outside the courtyard wall.

They retracted their necks, retracted their covers, and listened with their eyes open and their ears pricked up.

They were also poor.

The outside route is chosen to pass through the streets and lanes where the poor live.

The soldiers and horses of the governor's palace were stationed twenty miles outside the city. In addition to receiving special arrangements, such as guarding the docks, the normal guardian force of a normal state city is the city defense soldiers.

Not part of a system.

And Chen Jun, who was in charge of patrolling in the state city tonight and was led by the city defense soldiers, was ordered by his father to cooperate with all the actions tonight.

His father said: "You are a little patrol director, and you are really not bad at watching the chaos in the city every day?"

Think about the people of those state cities who suffer disasters every year, aren't you about to die of grievance?

But who has taken you seriously?

Your father tried to help our own tenants get justice, but they were all beaten and locked up, and you could only bring me some clothes and food.

What do you think I can count on you? If it weren't for Master Di who cleared the grievances for your father and me, and gave us justice, your father would have died in the prison of the Assassin's Mansion.

What kind of face will you have to incense your father?

Go ahead, kid. Let's do what a man should do.

Even if it's not for this kindness, just think about Lord Di who is charging ahead alone for the sake of the people, go ahead. If there is anything, our whole family will carry it with you. ”

Chen Jun came.
