Chapter 008: Dispute
"Sixteen, go and prepare, tomorrow, you and I will go to the city to give porridge. ”
"But the government sent someone to say that they wouldn't let me go······" Zhu Chongba said a little worriedly.
"Soup porridge is a good deed, how can the government not let it?" Looking at Zhu Chongba, who wanted to speak and stopped, Jiang Qinglan couldn't help but say, "It's decided, you go back and prepare first." ”
Zhu Chongba pursed his lips and retreated.
Early the next morning, Jiang Qinglan and Zhu Chongba came to the outside of the city, because the previous porridge jar was taken away by the government, they directly set up an iron pot outside the city this time, boiled it and scooped it directly from the pot to those refugees.
Because it takes time to boil, after scooping a pot, you need to wait for a while before you can continue to make porridge, taking advantage of this gap, Jiang Qinglan sent Zhu Chongba to chat with those refugees.
The purpose is to lay a good mass foundation for Zhu Chongba, and at the same time, it is also to warn the future emperor not to forget the people's suffering.
The great men said that if we want to come from the masses and go to the masses, we must not let Zhu Chongba go too far away from the masses.
Because Zhu Chongba lived like these refugees before Jiang Qinglan came, he ate the last meal without the next meal, so he could especially understand the suffering, and this empathy made him quickly gain the recognition of these people.
But it didn't take long for this happy atmosphere to be disrupted by officials who came on horseback.
"Didn't you say that you wouldn't let the soup porridge go, why are you setting up a pot here again?" said the official immediately.
"What's the matter? The government doesn't do good deeds, and even the people are not allowed to do good?" Jiang Qinglan stood up and looked at the official with disdain, "Or does the government not treat these suffering people as human beings, so that they will starve to death and freeze to death?"
Jiang Qinglan said this on purpose, she just wanted to provoke contradictions between the government and the people.
Sure enough, the official was furious when he heard this, and scolded loudly, "A female generation dares to talk about world affairs, I think you are impatient!"
After that, he raised the horsewhip in his hand and was about to hit Jiang Qinglan.
Zhu Chongba, who was on the side, saw that the situation was not good, so he rushed to Jiang Qinglan with an arrow step, and reached out to grab the official's horsewhip.
It's just that the official is on top of the qi, this whip is extremely strong, and when Zhu Chongba grabbed the horse whip, his hand was also broken by the horse whip, and the red blood dripped down the whip and onto the ground.
"Sixteen! How are you?" Jiang Qinglan didn't expect this official to be so reckless, and she provoked her to do it directly.
Along the way, she knew that the people in the government were tyrannical and tyrannical, but she didn't expect these people to disregard the lives of the people like this, and even beat people on the spot.
"I'm fine. Zhu Chongba ignored the bleeding hands, and still clutched the official's horsewhip.
"You let go first!" Jiang Qinglan broke off Zhu Chongba's hand, and then turned her head to look at the official messenger, "Is there anything wrong with what I said? These refugees don't care about the court, my younger brother is kind-hearted, and he came to give soup porridge, why should he be expelled? If you don't give an explanation today, don't blame us for disobeying discipline!"
dared to disobey the court officials, and the official on horseback was even more angry, completely forgetting that his boss explained before he came, and he must not provoke public anger.
He jumped off his horse and said, "Do you want to rebel if you don't obey discipline? Come on, arrest all these people!"
"Dare to ask this official, which law did you violate when you were arrested for doing good?" Jiang Qinglan was not afraid at all, "Which official did you follow the order of the superior when you acted like this?"
"The government arrests people, and they still need to explain the reason to your small people?"
That official is used to being domineering on weekdays, and when he encounters such a thing today, he has long been irritated by anger, and he just wants to arrest the troublesome woman in front of him.
This kind of reaction was in Jiang Qinglan's arms, and she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "It's a good government to arrest people, regardless of the reason, so to speak, we and other civilians, whether they are rational or not, can the government arrest people at will?
After that, he asked the refugees, "Do you think so?"
"That's it!"
"If it weren't for my old age and immeability, I would have joined the Righteous Army a long time ago!"
"The government doesn't care about us, and even a good person like Miss Jiang and Zhu Gongzi won't let us give porridge, isn't this a way for us to live?
"Don't insult the tiger, brother, how can they have the majesty of a tiger?
······
The people have long been dissatisfied with the government, so under the guidance of Jiang Qinglan, intentionally or unintentionally, the emotions of these people exploded, and the crowd excitedly accused the official who came to prohibit soup kitchens.
