Chapter 169: Saving People
"Damn it, what the hell is this weather?!"
The door was kicked open heavily, and a black-faced man who looked a little strong, dressed in a big official robe, was flowing with breath, and his chest was wide open.
"You pariahs won't let me ...... to my lord."
Seeing the fire that had already been lit inside, the black-faced man's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, but he noticed that the middle-aged man and the brother behind him were staring at him with an unkind face, and couldn't help but swallow back the second half of the sentence.
There are many people, and he is in the wilderness, and his official skin may not be able to play a big role, so it is better to be polite.
As for Lin Chen, who had few people and seemed to be easier to bully, he ignored it intentionally or unintentionally.
When this guy came in, Lin Chen directly used psychological stealth techniques, infinitely reducing the presence of himself and the fire on the side.
Even if they see it, they will subconsciously ignore it.
touched a hard stubble, and for a while, a fire rose in the heart of the black-faced man, and he shouted at the back: "You waste, why don't you come in and raise the fire quickly!" ”
Soon, behind him, the rest of the people entered one after another, and the temple, which was not big, became a little crowded under the successive entry of two groups of people.
The black-faced man, like a team escorted by the government, although there were only seven or eight people, they were all dressed in official uniforms, and they also pushed a prisoner in handcuffs and anklets.
The prisoner was quite unique, he was a gray-haired old man, but his waist was straight, his face was calm, and even if he was reduced to the point of being a prisoner, he also had an indescribable bearing.
"You, you, you!" The black-faced man pointed at a few pawns and shouted, "Hurry up and find firewood to make a fire!" ”
Seeing a young servant in front of the old man, holding clothes, the black-faced man's face suddenly gloomy.
He walked up and kicked the younger servant: "Boy, can't you hear my orders?!" ”
"The old gentleman is soaked all over, and if he doesn't change into dry clothes, he will easily catch the cold." The younger official rubbed his kicked ass and said hurriedly.
"Yo, I can't see that you are so kind, why don't you usually give your rations and monthly money to those lonely and widowed old people, what kind of good people are there here!" The black-faced man scoffed.
"I ......" The younger official was said like this, and he was a little speechless for a while, his face turned red, and he was stunned in place.
On the side, an elderly official saw this, and hurriedly walked over and grabbed the young man: "My nephew is a little ignorant and has offended adults, I hope you will forgive me." ”
Immediately afterward, he handed over another piece of silver.
Seeing this, the black-faced man's eyes lit up slightly, and he took it quietly and put it into his arms.
"Children make some mistakes, it's nothing, I don't care, don't go to work soon!"
The younger officials wanted to say something more, but they were forcibly pulled away by the older officials.
"Hmph, no matter how disciplined you are, it's really lawless!"
The black-faced man snorted coldly and turned around to leave.
But after glancing at the old man, he suddenly remembered the old mother at home, and was silent for a while, but still picked up the dry clothes that fell on the ground.
Then, he threw it over: "Old fellow, change your clothes, lest something happen later, and those old men will have to blame me!" ”
"Thank you." The old man bowed his head slightly, expressing his gratitude.
The black-faced man didn't say anything, but turned around and left directly, these days, whether it is to release kindness or accept gratitude, it is easy to be ridiculed by the group.
Soon, another pile of flames rose again, and several people gathered around, baking the flames, constantly expelling the moisture from their bodies, and at the same time taking out the dry food they had brought with them and gnawing on them.
Suddenly, the black-faced man moved his nose, smelled a strong fragrance, looked sideways, and saw a group of people he had just entered the temple, and he was baking golden and crispy roast ducks.
"This ......" Several people couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and the black-faced man couldn't stop swallowing his saliva, only to feel that the grain cake in his hand was suddenly tasteless.
"My lord, in this wilderness, the other party suddenly took out a roast duck, I'm afraid, something is wrong...... At this time, the elderly official who has been escorting the prisoner outside all the year round hurriedly reminded.
When the black-faced man heard this, he was full of excitement, realized that something was wrong, and immediately became alert: "I know, be careful, let everyone take a good guy." ”
The aroma inside the temple is getting stronger and stronger, but except for the sound of swallowing saliva and the sound of rain outside the temple, the venue is becoming more and more silent.
Let's chirp~
The next moment, a voice broke the silence, it was the middle-aged man's bunch of people eating roast duck.
'There should be no problem, right?' Isn't it me, thinking too much? Seeing this scene, the black-faced man couldn't help but swallow his saliva and couldn't help but move the idea of buying and selling.
"These brothers, I ......"
The black-faced man just stood up and wanted to say something, but he felt that his body suddenly weakened and he was directly paralyzed.
W-What?!
Not only that, but he also saw the servants who came with him, and they fell down one after another.
"Not good, the aroma is poisonous!" The black-faced man wanted to take out the antidote pill, but the whole person couldn't support it and fainted directly.
"Haha! I'll just say listen to me! The young Xiao Wu jumped up directly and said proudly, "It's still Lao Tzu's methods, and they fell down one after another without doing anything!" ”
They didn't do it on the roast duck, they did it on the aroma. Take the antidote pill in advance, and then mix the drug into the roast duck, so as to avoid being detected wrong.
"Stop talking nonsense, save people!" The middle-aged man ignored him, but rushed directly forward and came to the old man's side, while the rest of the people tied up the servants on the ground one after another.
"Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang." The old man opened the chains on his body, and took the antidote pill and water, and the old man slowly woke up in the call.
Looking at this scene, the middle-aged man couldn't help but take a long breath.
The person they rescued was none other than the former prime minister of the Daqian Dynasty and the reform of the law - Zhang Zhiping!
"Hmm...... Who are you? Zhang Zhiping, who woke up from a coma, looked at the person in front of him, touched his somewhat swollen head, and asked.
"Our brother is a person from the green forest, and I have long heard that Zhang Xiangxian is wise, and this time he was framed by a traitor and lived on the border, so we are here to rescue him." The middle-aged man hugged his fists and said respectfully.
"Green Forest Heroes......" Zhang Zhiping's mind was a little blurry, and he sat on the ground for a while before slowly sobering up.
"You are Zhang Xianggong?" Xiao Wu on the side came over at this moment.
"Xiao Wu, don't go back quickly, don't offend Zhang Xianggong!" Seeing this, the middle-aged man's face became gloomy.
"Hehe, it's okay, this kid has a lot of cleverness, I like it a lot." Zhang Zhiping looked at the smart child in front of him, as if he had thought of something, and couldn't help laughing.
"I hope I don't offend the prime minister." Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh helplessly and agreed.
"Big brother, these officials have been tied up, should we do it next?" At this time, a man in black walked up.
"This ......" The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Zhiping.
"Knock them out and put them in the side hall, they are all miserable people, they are just acting according to orders." Zhang Zhiping shook his head and sighed lightly.
"Everything depends on what Zhang Xiang said." The middle-aged man nodded and immediately commanded.
Soon, everything was taken care of in the field.
"Zhang Xiang, next, our brother has arranged a safe place, you can ......"
"If you can, I want you to send me back to the court." Zhang Zhiping said in a deep voice.
"Yes...... Well? The middle-aged man raised his head violently, "Zhang Xiang, now that there is a crisis in the court, those traitors and the party want you to die, if you go back at this time, I am afraid there will be unforeseen dangers!" ”
"I know, but if you want to promote the change, you can only do it in the imperial court!"
"But your change has failed, the Emperor...... I don't agree with your change with those traitors. The middle-aged man said with a solemn face.
"I still have a chance, once the change is successful, it will produce huge benefits, and at that time, not only the people will benefit, but these guys will also get greater benefits, I believe they will not refuse!" Zhang Zhiping said firmly.
"Old man, do you think that as long as the bread is made big enough, no matter how you divide it, you can have the share of the people at the bottom?" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from their side.
"Who?!" The middle-aged man's face changed greatly, and he turned his head sharply to see a young man in white, standing beside him and asking.
When did he come over? I didn't even notice it? And the drug is so useless to him?!
The faces of the middle-aged man and the black-clothed man on the side changed, and they each took a step back, revealing a look of jealousy in their eyes.
Zhang Zhiping glanced at Lin Chen, was extraordinarily calm, and said: "Yes, I think that as long as the benefits are big enough and enough, no matter how they are divided, they will be left in the hands of the people." ”
"The world is bustling, and it is all for profit. The soil in the world is all for profit. Only by expanding interests can the big families and landlords take a step back temporarily, so that the people at the bottom can survive, so as to continue the peace! ”
"Really?" Lin Chen's eyes were inexplicable, and he said faintly, "I think that if you want to continue the peace, it has nothing to do with interests, but the hearts of the people!" ”
