Chapter 186: The Leader of the Exiles
The Lin Pavilion Lord smiled bitterly: "Brother Xian, don't scare me, seeing these many suffering displaced people, my heart seems to be pinched, I really didn't expect such a miserable situation." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Whatever the virtuous brother says for a while, I will do it. ”
He doesn't have the ability to turn the tide, but he still has some confidence in Gu Ziyao. So many people have suffered, and as a scholar, they have their own compassion, and now they can only hope for Gu Ziyao's ability.
The leader of the exiles also did not have his own tent. He was sitting at a fire, carefully cooking the food in a clay pot, stirring it with a long-handled spoon from time to time.
Gu Ziyao looked over and saw that it seemed to be millet gruel, with some green vegetable leaves floating in the middle, exuding a strange fragrance. This should be the food of the homeless, what is the content of it, Gu Ziyao doesn't want to guess at all.
But the leader of the outcasts. After all, he is still a burly man, so what happened to the person who reported it just now? Gu Ziyao moved his eyes away from the tall leader's back, and glanced to the sides a few times, only to see that the side of the big clay pot revealed half a thin and slender figure, and a small white hand was holding a pair of tongs. From time to time, he stirred up the dry wood that was burning in the fire.
Is it the leader's daughter?Gu Ziyao speculated in her heart, and followed the Lin Pavilion Lord to the leader of the homeless people. The Lord of the Lin Pavilion did not dare to hold it up, nor was he proud of his identity, so he greeted him first. Others can lead 70,000 or 80,000 people, just this leadership ability. If you add the mandate of heaven, your status is not low.
The leader of the displaced people stopped stirring, handed the soup spoon to another person next to him, his eyes swept over the Lin Pavilion Lord and Gu Ziyao, and only after a while did he speak: "Nine thousand years old asked you to come, what do you want to say? We, the 80,000 displaced people in Jingchu Province, are in danger of the day, the wind and rain are shaking, how much food have you brought?"
He spoke very elegantly, and the Pavilion Lord was surprised. I couldn't help but be stunned, and then I spoke: "Although we didn't bring rice and grain this time, but the capital knows the plight of the displaced people, and we are specially sent to comfort them, and now the Chitose Lord is trying his best to settle ......."
Although this person spoke straight to the point, he didn't even announce his name, but fortunately, the Lin Pavilion Master had already prepared a set of words, and he always had to appease a few words first.
But the leader interrupted the Lin Pavilion Lord's words, "If there is no food. What is there to talk about? We are not worth our lives for a long time, and when the time comes, we will take food on the spot, and we will just find a way to survive on our own. ”
The Pavilion Lord gasped, the other party was a naked, naked, naked. What does it mean to get grain on the spot? Grain in the capital does not fall from the sky. What can be taken out on the spot, it is not to rob the big households.
These homeless people really have the intention of making trouble... Pavilion Lord Lin guessed, looking up at the leader's appearance. I saw that his hair was scattered, his eyebrows were thick and black, the wrinkles on his face were as deep as a knife, and his gaze was indifferent. But there is a fierce spirit that does not care about human life.
What kind of character is this? A local hero or a Jiangyang thief? It seems that there is a feeling of having a life in his hands, the Lin Pavilion Lord was shocked in his heart, and he was a little unfavorable when he spoke, "Don't worry, chief, dare to ask the name of the honorable person? ”
The leader snorted, squinted at the Lord of the Lin Pavilion and said: "My surname is Liu, my single name is a Tian character, the people of the rivers and lakes are called the King of Tuota, and my ancestral home is Liujiazhuang, Shalin Mansion, Jingchu Province." I wonder if this Lin Xianggong has ever heard my name?"
The lord of the Lin Pavilion was slandered, how could he have heard of the names of the people in the rivers and lakes, but at this time, he could only nod and say: "Liu Tianwang's name, like thunder, look up for a long time!"
Gu Ziyao was stunned beside him, looking at Liu Tian's thick arms, he must have been powerful, and it was not strange for a powerful person to use this nickname.
From behind the fire came a chuckle like a silver bell, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl poked her head out and sneered at the Lin Pavilion Master: "Scholars really love to brag, but they are not ashamed?
Her voice is crisp, her face is immature, and her speech is very tricky. The Lin Pavilion Master knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he couldn't help but blush.
Liu Tian glanced at the girl, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said slowly: "This is the little girl Tong'er, and she also read a few books when she was young. My Lao Liu is a big old man, and I can't talk about the intestines of you scholars. If you have anything, you might as well tell my daughter first. ”
He seemed to have a lot of trust in this daughter Liu Tong'er, who was only a teenager and a woman, so he let her participate in such a serious matter, which made Gu Ziyao extremely curious, and peeked at this woman carefully.
The person who reported just now said that the young lady came to ask the identity of the two of them, which means that Liu Tong'er's status among the displaced people is not low, at least someone is willing to listen.
Everyone says that there are three kinds of people who are most afraid of walking in the rivers and lakes, and women are one of them, especially women of this age, there must be something special about them, and they must not be underestimated.
Pavilion Master Lin was a little dazed, he was really not used to dealing with these people, he had lost at least half of his usual intelligence, and he couldn't pretend to be forced if he wanted to. can only laugh and say: "Leader Liu's daughter Bing Xue is smart, in fact, she came today, and she was ordered by a nine-thousand-year-old adult, and the leader restrained the homeless, so she waited in this Peacock Gorge, and there will be good news after that." ”
The Lin Pavilion Master still didn't know what Gu Ziyao's follow-up strategy was, but he left three tips, and he dared to take the risk of going to the camp, so he must have some certainty. At this point, my task is to persuade the displaced people to pause and not move forward.
Liu Tian sneered: "Nine thousand years old is easy, you want us to stop when you come here?" If you want to stop, first take three thousand stone white rice, so that tens of thousands of us can live for a few days, and we don't have to run for a living, then we will naturally stop temporarily." ”
The requirement of 3,000 stone white rice is not particularly high, and it is difficult to support 80,000 people for long. But the chief secretary of the government did not want to open this opening easily.
The so-called emergency relief does not help the poor, this is the truth. Of course, the Lord of the Lin Pavilion did not have this authority, so he could only reluctantly defend: "At this time, the whole capital is already trying their best to plan for relief and settle the displaced people, and only ask Chief Liu to be stationed for a few days before he can prepare to stop ......."
"How many days will I be stationed? Do you know how many people will starve to death if I stop here for a few days if there is no food? You officials will not care about these lives, I can't ignore them!" Liu Tian shouted angrily, and the Lin Pavilion Lord was shaken, and he unconsciously took a step back.
Gu Ziyao sighed secretly, he originally thought that the Lin Pavilion Lord would be able to stand up for a while, but he didn't expect that the ability of this homeless leader was unexpected, and it seemed that he had to be on top himself......
