Chapter 18: Madness
Fenghua downstairs.
The third prince, Lu Xuanming, led the crowd to take the first step.
Han Dazhi said to Li Wuchang: "I have to go back soon, my old man only let me go for half a day, and now I have to rush back immediately to think about it behind closed doors." ”
Li Wuchang shrugged his shoulders and motioned for him to go first.
After Han Dazhi left, Li Wuchang arched his hand at the Guo family brothers and sisters and walked towards the east of the city, he wanted to go and see the little girl Xiaoxi a few days ago, and he didn't know how she was now.
"Li Wuchang, why do you go that way, isn't your home in Chongyi Fang?" Guo Yunling wondered.
"Oh, I've just eaten a lot of goose meat, now I'm going to walk around and see if I can find a wife on the street. Li Wuchang replied casually, looking a little careless, waved his hand, and continued to walk forward, while practicing, and now he is becoming more and more proficient in walking on the side of the road.
"Phew. Guo Yunling scolded with a red face, obviously remembering the sentence "Falling into the river to catch geese and cure hunger, go home to play with his wife after eating", and then angrily followed Guo Yunlei into the carriage.
She was a little angry in her heart, she wanted to invite Li Wuchang to go back in the carriage together, and by the way, ask him how high his medical skills are, and ask him to help an old man in the family see a doctor.
How do you know that this kid is a flowery mouthful.
......
The sky is cloudy, it is gray, the cold wind is blowing, it looks like it is going to snow again, how many have it been this winter?
Li Wuchang thought secretly and sighed, I don't know how many people are going to suffer.
Oh, that's a big deal. Thinking about it, he laughed out loud, secretly thinking that he couldn't take care of it now, and he was still worried about the people, and he was not an official.
However, no matter what, the little girl still had to go and see it, she promised that day, and the little girl was still looking forward to it at the time, how could she be disappointed.
"Hurry up, I'm going to have lunch after this trip, this hellish weather, I'm freezing to death." ”
A few people dressed as officials drove horses, and behind the horses were dragging a cart, on which were a row of corpses, more than a dozen of them, which looked very bluffing.
Recently, there has been such a scene every day in Chang'an City, where officials will freeze refugees to death, load them into cars, and send them outside the city to spark off.
Li Wuchang looked at the carriage passing by, feeling uncomfortable.
Along the way, the victims were everywhere, all dressed in tatters, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and numb eyes, like walking corpses.
The sound of begging, the shouting and scolding of the shopkeepers, and the reprimands of the officials came and went, and it was chaotic.
Occasionally, there will be porridge stalls, whether it is the court or private, they are all tightly surrounded, and the person who grabbed the porridge quickly walked to the side, drank the porridge in one go, and then surrounded it to grab it, and the weak old people and women could not squeeze in at all, they were pushed to the ground, and some people were even trampled under their feet, and they died.
In some cases, it was so bad that some officials came to maintain it, yelled and yelled, and the order immediately improved, and everyone stood in line and lined up, waiting for the officials to lift up the dead and the dying people, throw them on the cart, and drag them away.
After the official left, there was chaos around the porridge stall again.
Is it already so serious? This is Chang'an City, the capital of Dayan.
Looking at the various situations, Li Wuchang felt cold in his heart, Xiaoxi's family would be fine.
......
In the grass shed in the east of the city, Xiaoxi's family is in trouble.
A few days ago, Xiao Xi got the help of nobles and brought back a big bag of meat buns and a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and the family was full of emotion, thinking that there was hope, but they didn't expect it to be the bane.
Xiaoxi's father, Wang Changde, took the one hundred taels and bought some medicine for his wife, cured his wife, and kept the remaining silver taels every day to buy some things to satisfy his hunger, and his life was quite passable.
You must know that 100 taels is a huge amount of money, even if the price is soaring now, you can buy a snow-white steamed bun for five copper coins, and a family of three will spend less than 30 yuan a day.
The bad thing is that this steamed bun is bad, there are many refugees around, and they can't even eat porridge, but Wang Changde's family of three ate steamed buns, which will kill Wang Changde, and many victims will target him.
In just a few days, the one hundred taels of silver were spent, and Wang Changde shared all the silver with other victims, and he understood that if he didn't take it out and share it, the silver would only be robbed.
People are so hungry that they can do anything.
Let's avoid disaster.
If it's just a broken fortune, it's okay, but Wang Changde's behavior has attracted local scoundrels, and several hooligans who have nothing to do think he is a rich man and run over to rob him.
Where did Wang Changde still have money, he was beaten to death, his wife and daughter cried and grabbed the ground, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, several hooligans couldn't grab the money, but they aimed at Wang Changde's wife and did the act of robbing the women of good families.
"You pariah, it's your honor for Uncle Ben to take a fancy to your woman, what are you doing...... Give me a hand. A hooligan kicked Wang Changde in the chest, Wang Changde was in pain, let go of the hands holding the other party's thighs, lay on the ground, panting heavily, hatefully looking at the fierce hooligans in front of him, powerless to resist.
Several other hooligans grabbed Wang Changde's wife, Liao, and Liao struggled to death, but to no avail.
"Don't arrest my mother, don't arrest my mother......" Xiaoxi was frightened and cried at the top of her throat.
"Little girl, don't scream, be careful that I kill you...... Hey, this coat is good. A hooligan saw that Xiao Xi was wearing a coat made of very good materials, and he moved his mind and reached out to grab it.
"Don't snatch my clothes, this is given to me by my second stunned brother, don't rob me, woo woo. Xiao Xi cried and dragged her coat desperately, but she was a little girl, where could she resist.
"Bang. A hooligan brother kicked Xiao Xi in the stomach, Xiao Xi flew out upside down, knocked his forehead, and spilled blood, scared stupid, stunned for a moment, before he let out a heart-rending cry.
Wang Changde was frightened and crawled over to his daughter, crying all over his life.
Several hooligans laughed uncontrollably, grabbed Liao's arms while covering her mouth, and prepared to forcibly drag her away.
At this moment, Li Wuchang heard the cry, quickened his pace, turned a corner and saw this scene, and immediately became angry, grandma is a bear, and there is no Wang Fa.
"Stop. Li Wuchang rushed to a few hooligans and opened his mouth to stop it.
"Second stunned brother...... Xiao Xi found out that this was the big brother from a few days ago, Li Wuchang also saw Xiao Xi, and saw that her forehead was covered with blood, which was very scary, and her heart was even more angry.
Li Wuchang thought that even if he was messing around before, most of them just didn't use their mouths, and these scumbags, even beating children, were simply mad.
"Yo, where did this little white face come from, who dared to meddle with Uncle Ben's affairs. The hooligan drew the short knife from his waist, pouted, and winked at his brothers.
The hooligans who grabbed Liao's also let go of their hands and walked over, which was about to repair Li Wuchang.
Li Wuchang now has the realm of the second grade of the first level, and it is not a problem to repair a few little gangsters, step forward, and in a rage, he punches chaotically, and the double fists filled with strength are very deadly for the hooligans, and every time they are punched, it is like being hammered hard by a solid copper hammer.
In a few breaths, the hooligan lay on the ground, humming and chirping.
Li Wuchang picked up the short knife, walked to the hooligan leader, stepped on his chest, and looked at him coldly, although the hooligan leader was frightened, he still said cruelly: "Do you know who I am? My brother-in-law is on an errand in the Lin Mansion and offends me, so you can wait for death." ”
Lin Mansion: I don't care what you do.
"I, Li Wuchang, don't forget it, brother, remember to come to me if you're a ghost. Li Wuchang's face was expressionless, he squinted his eyes at the hooligan at his feet, and then stabbed a knife into the hooligan's thigh and stirred it up.
The sound of killing a pig sounded.
Several hooligans finally knew that the other party was the famous Li Er, and they were terrified, Mom, how did you provoke this demon king of the mixed world?
"Li Gongzi, don't kill me, don't kill me...... I was wrong, I was blinded by lard, I am not a human being, you have a lot of money, so you spare the life of this little dog, right?" The hooligan leader no longer had the previous toughness, and he didn't care about howling, and opened his mouth to plead.
One of the rascals was frightened and got up and ran back, but he immediately regretted it.
Li Wuchang flew up and kicked him in the back, and when he fell, he stomped on his knee.
Energetic eruption.
......The bones were broken, and there was a sound like killing pigs.
"Which one still wants to go?" Li Wuchang stood up, glanced around, and asked lightly.
There was a commotion, and the hooligans were so frightened that they peed their pants, compared to Li Wuchang, their methods just now were like children's plays.
Wang Changde's family was extremely relieved, especially Xiaoxi, who even forgot about the pain, her eyes flashed, and she looked at her stunned brother.
Li Wuchang walked up to Xiao Xi and smiled slightly: "Does Xiao Xi hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt. Xiao Xi clenched her fist.
"Really good......" Li Wuchang praised, then looked at Wang Changde, and said, "Brother Wang, I'm Xiaoxi's friend Li Wuchang." ”
"Li Gongzi is so ......" Wang Changde trembled, not knowing what to do, secretly thinking, it turned out that this was Xiaoxi's second stunned brother.
Their family is from outside the city, and they have never heard of Li Wuchang's name, but they think he is a warm-hearted person, but they just think that this Li Gongzi is a little ruthless.
"Wait a minute, I'll show you the doctor. Li Wuchang took out a handkerchief, wiped Xiao Xi's forehead, stood up, looked at a few hooligans lying on the ground, and gestured with knives, thinking about what kind of lesson to teach them.
There was deep fear in the eyes of several hooligans, who were afraid that Li Wuchang would give him a knife.
Da Da Da ...... Footsteps sounded, and the official finally came.
The leader of the official mission recognized Li Wuchang, and immediately walked over, looked at the hooligan who fell to the ground, and asked respectfully: "Li Gongzi, is this ......?"
Li Wuchang snorted coldly and looked at the officials.
The officials' hearts tightened, they held their breath, and they didn't dare to speak.
"These hooligans are making trouble and committing serious crimes. ”
"First, beating good people, even children, is simply mad. ”
"Second, robbing people's women in broad daylight is a vicious and outrageous method. ”
"Third, stabbing this son with a steel knife in his hand, intending to rebel, is really bold. ”
Li Wuchang set the tone of the matter in three or two clicks, and concluded: "As for what to do, I don't know, you are eating public food, and you must know better than me." ”
The leader of the official mission was taken aback.
Mom, you hooligans really want my life, Li Gongzi even said out such a felony as "rebellion", and if you continue to talk about it, maybe you will put me on a charge of incompetence or even complicity, that is not a joke.
The leader of the official mission was very frightened, waved his hand to his subordinates, gritted his teeth, and said: "Arrest these lawless scum for me, and I will personally interrogate them to see who they are and dare to be so rampant." ”
In that way, it was like seeing his father's killer.
There is no way, Li Wuchang made it clear that he wanted to come out, and even said the words "eating public grain", the implication was already obvious, although Li Wuchang was nothing, but the Li Mansion was powerful and powerful, and it was in the limelight recently, how could a small street inspector be able to contend with it.
But then again, what kind of wind is this boy smoking today, acting chivalrous?
The official looked at Li Wuchang with a cold face, and his heart was inexplicable.
"What do you call Brother Guancha?" asked Li Wuchang.
"Don't dare to be, the little surname is Chen. The leader of the official mission wiped his sweat.
"Today, Brother Chen led people to perform official duties and arrested the hooligans who beat up good people, I just came to see my friends, is there a problem?" Li Wuchang looked at the other party with a smile.
The official surnamed Chen instantly understood, and said: "Li Gongzi rest assured, these hooligans made trouble and were beaten and disabled on the spot by inferior people, Li Gongzi just came to see his friends, and happened to see this scene." ”
Then he spoke to his subordinates, "Do you understand?"
"The subordinates understand. The men immediately replied.
"Very good, Brother Chen is dedicated to the people, which is admirable. Li Wuchang patted him on the shoulder and nodded at him, before walking up to Xiao Xi and helping the family of three up.
A chaos has finally come to an end.
