Chapter 495: Slums
Jiang Hao returned to the post house, immediately packed his luggage, took the team, and went back to Youzhou.
A few days later, Jiang Hao, who returned to Youzhou, told Jiangyin all the things.
Jiang Yin, who already had a headache, was even more restless now that Jiang Hao brought back the news.
However, this is already the case, and in terms of how it changes, the truth is just that.
Jiang Yin ordered someone to bring the news back to Beijing, and he first settled the affairs of the army, and after less than half a month, he set off to return to the capital.
At this time, Dongfang Yu was dressed in civilian clothes, and Yu Qian, Xuan Ziyuan, Zhuge Xuanyu, Yang Xiu and other ministers followed behind him.
There were also fifty secret guards, who were closely guarded.
Not only that, but the secret guards who follow secretly are definitely not less than a thousand.
Although the emperor is a private visit to Weifu, security is the most important, and the measures to protect it are still needed.
It's just that these secret guards, disguised and hiding in the shadows.
Of course, the secret guards stationed in various states also knew the news of the emperor's private visit and had already prepared in advance.
This is the first issue of the emperor's security, and there must be no slackness in solving it.
On an official road leading to Yuzhou City in Yuzhou, Dongfang Yu looked around and felt relieved that the people were farming.
"Yu Qian! I think that the people of Jiangnan are not living very well! It's not like what you say in your poem? Dongfang Yu said.
Moreover, potatoes and sweet potatoes, such high-yield crops are cultivated, once planted, they will grow in a large area, and the people will not be able to eat enough, but there will be no famine!
Hehe!
Yu Qian stroked his beard and said with a faint smile: "What Your Majesty sees is only what is on the surface, there are countless corrupt officials in secret, if Your Majesty investigates deeply, you will gain something." ”
"Your Majesty, you may wish to move forward, maybe there will be a new situation."
I walked for about half an hour.
In front of it is curling smoke, straight up to the clouds.
"It looks like a village up ahead!" Dongfang Yu squinted his eyes, looking at the smoke flying in the air, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Yu Qian, Ziyuan, Yang Xiu, and the military advisor, take five guards, let's go into the village to have a look, and the others are led by Yin Shu, so they stay here, so as not to let the people see us and think that they are here to rob the village."
"No!"
Dongfang Yu tumbled down from the horse.
A few people followed, though! It's okay if you don't come in, but after you walk in, Dongfang Yu's original good mood is immediately gone.
Where is this village? It's a refugee shelter!
In thatched huts, many children, the elderly, and women in ragged clothes gather together, but as for the young and middle-aged, there are almost none.
Several people gathered around the fire, and a pot hung on it, and it was not known whether it was water or rice porridge boiling.
"It's... Are these all my people of Great Qin? ”
Dongfang Yu couldn't believe his eyes.
This Yuzhou, it seems that it has not experienced a few big battles! But why did the people live so hard?
"Yes, they are all His Majesty's people!" Yu Qian followed behind Dongfang Yu, and his voice was full of sadness.
"Later, no one is allowed to reveal my identity." Dongfang Yu ordered.
"No!"
Several people said respectfully.
Then, Dongfang Yu walked in directly, and after seeing Dongfang Yu and his party, these refugees subconsciously shrank and were very afraid of Dongfang Yu and the others.
At this moment, a little girl who was playing accidentally bumped into Dongfang Yu's body, and was instantly knocked to the ground, sitting on the ground, "Wow" and crying.
Seeing this, a woman hurriedly stepped forward, hugged the little girl, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Dongfang Yu and the others, "I'm sorry adults, my child is ignorant and soiled your clothes, please don't blame you!" ”
The woman was so frightened that she was about to cry.
And Dongfang Yu immediately squatted down, stretched out his hand and touched the little girl's head.
The woman, seeing Dongfang Yu stretching out her hand, didn't dare to answer or dodge, but just closed her eyes, as if preparing for doom.
"Little girl, did the fall hurt?" Dongfang Yu said to the little girl in an extremely gentle tone.
The little girl is only three or four years old, and she doesn't know how to be sophisticated, she doesn't know why her uncle is so afraid of the big brother in front of her.
The little girl shook her head and said obediently, "Nier doesn't hurt, my mother said that when a person falls, he has to get up by himself." ”
"Huh!"
"What a good boy!"
This little girl is very cute.
Dongfang Yu couldn't help but want the latter's little face.
"You are the mother of the child! Can you give me a baby! Dongfang Yu asked.
Yes!
This... This...
The woman's heart immediately panicked.
kowtowed heavily to the ground, and this knock went down, and blood actually came out of his forehead, "Adult, the child is not sensible, please let her live!" ”
Dongfang Yu hurriedly supported the latter, and said suspiciously: "I just want to hug the child, what you said... Feels like I'm going to eat her? ”
However, where are these people willing to believe Dongfang Yu's words.
The suffering they have suffered has made them see clearly a long time ago, those guys with human faces and beast hearts.
"Hmph, what you say is better than what you sing, it's because of you people that you have harmed so many people and ruined your family!"
"You are obviously with the government, and you are all the same."
Finally, someone couldn't help but start scolding.
The most important thing is that Dongfang Yu, who doesn't understand the situation, was scolded like this, and he was still kept in the dark.
"Master, see it! This is the people of Yuzhou. ”
"Yuzhou has had good people, but there are also people who have had a bad time." Yu Qian stood behind Dongfang Yu and couldn't help but say.
Dongfang Yu's eyes widened, and his heart trembled.
These officials are so terrible that they can escape the eyes of the dark guards.
Of course, there are many secret guards in Great Qin, but... After being distributed in various states, there are very few.
Except for direct targeting, otherwise! It is really possible for many officials to fish in troubled waters.
"Hey, what are you doing? Let go of my daughter. ”
"Son of a, the people in your government have driven us out a few times, we all live in slums, and you don't let us live?"
And at this time, dozens of men, holding farming tools, ran over, their eyes were full of anger, and their attitude towards Dongfang Yu and the others was extremely unkind.
"Da Zhuang, you're back." The woman, holding the child in her arms, hurried behind the strong man.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm back." The man, named Da Zhuang, comforted his wife.
Dozens of men, holding forks and hoes, pointed at Dongfang Yu and a few people.
"Let's go, get out of here, or else! You're welcome. ”
Da Zhuang shouted angrily.
Dongfang Yu stood up from the ground, looked at everyone, and immediately said, "Fellow villagers, do we have any misunderstanding?" I didn't bully you, did I? ”
