The other party is a homeless person from another province, of course, theoretically speaking, he doesn't know these two talents in Dinghu Province, but the identity of Xiucai is enough to attract attention. I heard that it was the two ministers, and the person who reported it didn't dare to slack off, so they turned back and reported it directly.

After a while, he came out with a few more people, respectfully led Ye and Tang to dismount, and invited them to rest in the camp of the homeless camp. Ye Xingyuan followed him through the crowd, only to see that most of the people were in rags, their faces were numb, and they sat in a daze, and they couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts.

Uprooting one's homeland is a great pain for the people of today. If people leave their hometowns and become rootless duckweeds, if they can't really live, who is willing to change from a good citizen to a homeless person?

For the peasants who have lived on the land all their lives, leaving their hometown is equivalent to being stripped of their spirit and spirit, leaving only an empty shell. These people are walking numbly, like walking dead, if there is really an army of zombies in film and television dramas, it may be like this.

As a result, Ye Xingyuan felt that the situation was grim, and there were many things that could not be felt so deeply if he didn't see it for himself. He turned his head and whispered to Tang Shiyan: "The lives of these victims are tied to their predecessors, cheer up!"

Tang Shiyan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Xian, don't scare me, seeing these many suffering and displaced people, my heart seems to be being pinched, I really didn't expect such a miserable situation." After a while, what the virtuous brother says, I will do. ”

He didn't have the ability to turn the tide, but he still had some confidence in Ye Xingyuan. So many people have suffered, and as a scholar, they have compassion, and now they can only hope for Ye Xingyuan'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.

Ye Xingyuan looked over and saw that it seemed to be millet gruel, and there were 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, Ye Xingyuan doesn't want to guess at all.

But the leader of the outcasts. After all, he is still a burly man, so what is the matter with the person who reported just now? Ye Xingyuan 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?Ye Xingyuan speculated in his heart, and followed Tang Shiyan to the leader of the homeless people. Tang Shiyan didn't dare to hold it up, nor was he proud of his talent status, so he saw 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 Tang Shiyan and Ye Xingyuan, and only after a while did he speak: "What do you want to say when the feudal platform asks you to come?"

He spoke very elegantly, and Tang Shiyan was very surprised. I couldn't help but be stunned, and then I spoke: "Although we didn't bring rice and grain this time, the province knows the plight of the displaced people, and we are specially sent to comfort us, and now Lord Pan is trying his best to settle down."

Although this person spoke straight to the point, he didn't even tell his name, but fortunately, Tang Shiyan had already prepared a set of words, and he always had to appease a few words first.

But the leader interrupted Tang Shiyan'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. ”

Tang Shiyan gasped, the other party was a naked, naked. What does it mean to take grain on the spot? Grain in Dinghu Province did not fall from the sky. What can be taken out on the spot, it is not to rob the big households.

This group of homeless people really had the intention of making trouble, Tang Shiyan guessed, and looked up at the appearance of the leader. 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? Local heroes or Jiangyang thieves? It seems to feel like someone has a life in his hands, Tang Shiyan was shocked in his heart, and his words were a little unfavorable, "Don't worry, boss, dare to ask the honorable name? ”

The leader snorted, squinted at Tang Shiyan and said: "My surname is Zhu, a single name is a Zhen character, the people of the rivers and lakes are called the King of Tuota, and my ancestral home is Zhujiazhuang, Shalin Mansion, Jingchu Province." I wonder if this Tang Xianggong has ever heard my name?"

Tang Shi was slanderous, how could he have heard of the names of the characters in the rivers and lakes, but at this time, he could only nod and say: "The name of Zhu Tianwang is like thunder, long admiration!

Ye Xingyuan was stunned beside him, he actually met the Tota Heavenly King here with this timely rain? Do you want to start the Water Margin One Hundred and Eight Demon Stars? But looking at that Zhu Zhen's thick arms, it must be Kong Wu is powerful, and it is not strange for a powerful person to use this nickname.

From behind the fire came a chuckle like a silver bell, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl poked her head out and sneered at Tang Shiyan: "Scholars really love to brag, but they are not ashamed?

Her voice is crisp, her face is immature, and her speech is very tricky. Tang Shiyan knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he couldn't help but blush.

Zhu Zhen glanced at the girl, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "This is the little girl Ning'er, and she also read a few books when she was young. My old Zhu is a big old man, and I can't talk to you who are scholars. If you have anything, you might as well tell my daughter first. ”

He seemed to have a lot of trust in this daughter Zhu Ning'er, who was only a teenager and a woman, so he let her participate in such a serious matter, which made Ye Xingyuan 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 Zhu Ning'er's status among the homeless 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.

Tang Shiyan 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: "The daughter of Chief Zhu Bing Xue is smart, in fact, she came today, under the order of Lord Pan, the leader restrained the homeless, just wait in this Peacock Gorge, and there will be good news after that." ”

Tang Shiyan still didn't know what Ye Xingyuan's follow-up strategy was, but he left three tips, and he dared to take the risk of being exiled, so he must have some certainty. At this point, my task is to persuade the displaced people to pause and not move forward.

Zhu Zhen sneered: "Master Pan is relaxed, he wants us to stop when he comes here? If you want to stop, first take 3,000 stone white rice, so that our tens of thousands of people can live for a few days, and we don't have to run for a living, then we will naturally stop for a while." ”

The requirement of 3,000 stone white rice is not particularly high, and it is difficult to support 80,000 people for long. However, the political envoy did not want to open this opening easily.

The so-called emergency relief does not help the poor, this is the truth. Of course, Tang Shiyan did not have this authority, so he could only reluctantly argue: "At this time, the provincial capital is already trying its best to plan for relief and settle the displaced people, and only ask the leader Zhu 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 care about it!" Zhu Zhen shouted angrily, Tang Shiyan's heart was shaken, and he unconsciously took a step back.

Ye Xingyuan sighed secretly, he originally thought that Tang Shiyan would be able to stand up for a while, but he didn't expect that the ability of this leader of the exiles was unexpected, and it seemed that he had to take it himself.

This person's tone is so tough, which proves Ye Xingyuan's guess, he can't just break into Dinghu Province by mistake, there must be a plan, and someone is behind his back.

Ye Xingyuan stepped forward quietly, his right hand resisted Tang Shiyan, and said casually: "Leader Zhu's words are bad! Lord Pan loves the people like a son, and when he heard that the Jingchu homeless people gathered, he was already anxious, and he has not slept for half a month.

Chief Zhu thought about it again, if the displaced people made a rebellion and caused any trouble, the imperial court would not be able to provide relief, but would severely suppress it. What is better than the patience of your days at that time?"

Ye Xingyuan is not playing false, since you are so tough, then think about it yourself, for the homeless, which result is better? If the Jingchu homeless people step out of the Peacock Gorge, this will definitely be an uncontrollable situation, even Zhu Zhen himself will not be able to fully control it.

When the hungry people saw the grain, they were like red-eyed wolves, who could put their bridle on them? At that time, no matter how hard they tried to restrain them, all kinds of incidents would continue to break out, and eventually they would cause a catastrophe, which would be a catastrophe for both the Jingchu people and the people of Dinghu!

Zhu Zhen was about to speak, but Zhu Ning'er smiled again, "Just now you said that Tang Xianggong is the main envoy, and you Ye Gongzi are the deputy envoy, but as far as I am concerned, Ye Gongzi, you are the hero!"

I heard that there was a heroic man in Dinghu Province who asked for the life of the people, nicknamed Shi Yu, and his surname was Ye, and he was not very old, I don't know if Ye Gongzi can recognize him?"

This little girl has actually heard the name of "timely rain"? Ye Xingyuan was stunned, he tried his best to keep a low profile, how could he be recognized again? Could it be that he is so stylish that he is so beautiful that it is difficult to give up on his natural beauty

Tang Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief and silently flashed to the side. He thought silently again, this time it wasn't him who betrayed his teammates, it was the other party who took the initiative to see through it, no matter what, Ye Xingyuan couldn't blame himself. (To be continued.) )
