Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 660

The old man Zhu is right. Looking at the quilt and weeds, it must be freezing at night, and the place near the door is naturally colder. If he hadn't explained it earlier, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to grab it.

Li Huiyi nodded with a smile and said, "Master, I wish you to be considerate. It seems that I have to study hard so that I won't suffer from boredom."

Hearing that Li Huiyi called him uncle, I wished the old man a good face, and then said happily: "It's all about experience, and you will know it later, but the nobleman probably won't need it."

Seeing the two talking and laughing, Xiao Wang said: "I wish the old man nothing else, but these experiences are the first, so tidy up quickly, and we will have dinner later."

"Dinner?" Hearing this, I wish the old man to quickly make the bed. For him, there is nothing more important and happy than eating.

However, Li Huiyi extinguished the enthusiasm of the two of them: "I'm afraid there will be no food tonight. Let's tidy up and go to bed first. We may have to work tomorrow morning."

Li Huiyi didn't deliberately lower his voice. As soon as he said those words, everyone in the tent stopped working.

Before they came, they were hungry, but now some people say that they have no food, how can this make them suffer.

One of them asked in disbelief, "What did you say, who told you that there will be no dinner tonight, don't talk nonsense if you don't know, and think you are the magistrate of Mi County."

Naturally, Li Huiyi didn't want to waste his time talking about such unknown people, so he might as well rest early if he had that time.

Seeing that Li Huiyi didn't answer, the man thought he was afraid of him, so he muttered a few words self-righteously, seeing that there was still no response, he stopped talking.

When the man returned to his place, Xiao Wang approached Li Huiyi and whispered, "My lord, how do you know there is no dinner tonight?"

Li Huiyi replied with a smile: "It's past the meal time now, if you want to prepare meals for nearly a thousand people, even if you do it casually, it will take an hour. Do you think it will be so troublesome with the attitude of those people just now?"

Xiao Wang thought about it for a while, and felt that this was the reason. He rubbed his half-digested stomach, muttered a few words in a low voice, climbed onto the bed, and fell asleep.

Seeing this, the old man Zhu didn't say much, and climbed onto the bed. Seeing this, Li Huiyi also fell down between the two of them, pulled up the torn quilt, and covered himself.

As soon as the quilt was added to the body, a pungent musty smell rushed straight in. Li Huiyi frowned slightly, and changed one end, thinking that the smell was stronger on the other end, so he had no choice but to endure it.

The three of them fell out of bed, and it didn't take long before there were snoring sounds one after another. Those who had been waiting for the meal had seen for so long, but there was no movement, and they didn't have any hope.

Before dawn the next day, someone opened the tent and shouted loudly: "Get up, hurry up and queue up for food, and work after eating!"

Li Huiyi had already woken up when the footsteps approached. At this time, when Xiao Wang and the others got up in a panic, he had already stood up when he heard the shout.

"My lord, your speed is good, it seems that you are a good player at grabbing food." Xiao Wang quickly came to Li Huiyi's side, and said with a confused face.

Li Huiyi didn't answer, but just smiled. Under the temptation of eating, these people moved very quickly, and in about two or three minutes, they all went out of the tent and rushed to the back of the long queue.

The queue time was not too long, so it was the turn of Li Huiyi and the three of them. They thought they would be full, but they only got half a wild vegetable bun and a bowl of wild vegetable soup.

Looking at the few grains of corn and some unknown wild vegetables floating in the soup, Li Huiyi shook his head helplessly, took a few sips and finished it.

Just when Li Huiyi was hesitating whether to add more, a voice suddenly sounded from the rice cooker.

"What, you can't add it. You guys are cheating. It's not that you can eat two meals. It's fine if you didn't have a meal yesterday. If you don't let you eat today, whoever wants to do this shit, I can't do it anyway."

When this word spread among the crowd, some people began to move and prepare to join in the denunciation, but at this moment, the literati came swaying.

"Okay, I don't want to do it, right? I said yesterday that I will go and stay free, but the only ones who leave are the dead. It seems that some people didn't understand."

After the literati finished speaking, there was a strange smile on his face, and he waved his hand and said to the yamen servant behind him, "I'm tied up, and I will die in front of everyone."

When the yamen servant heard the order, he hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and grabbed the troublemaker, tied him up and carried out the order.

"Bang, bang..."

The sound of the stick hitting the meat came to the ears, and those who had thought about it quickly lowered their heads in fright, for fear of accidentally touching the moldy head.

"Officer dog, cheating the good people, you will die badly, ah..."

When the pain came, the man kept swearing, but after ten sticks, he couldn't swear anymore, and began to beg for mercy miserably.

"Ah! The little one knows it's wrong, let the little one go, adults don't care..."

Hearing the words of begging for mercy, the literati was very satisfied, but he did not let go, but laughed and said: "Little untouchable, I thought your bones are so hard, it seems that you are not made of iron, hahaha."

What does it mean to regard human life as a trifle? That is, although Li Huiyi has a high position and authority, his essential kindness has not disappeared.

Hearing that the begging was getting softer, Li Huiyi couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and said loudly: "Your Excellency recruits people, it must be due to lack of manpower, why don't you spare his humble life, and at least he can do something."

Li Huiyi stood up suddenly, and Xiao Wang and the two didn't react at all. It was too late to pull him at this time, so they had to stay away a little, so as not to hurt themselves.

The literati came looking for their reputation, and when they saw that it was a pariah with a muddy face, a mocking expression appeared on his face. "Oh, I didn't expect someone to come forward."

"However, what you said is also reasonable. It's just that this person is already half-crippled. I'm afraid he won't be able to work and waste food. Wouldn't it be better to kill him?"

Hearing this, the dying man, as if grasping at a straw, mustered all his strength and shouted loudly: "The little one can work, can work, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat, please let the villain live, please!" Please my lord..."

Hearing the begging for mercy, the yamen servants who were executing the execution also stopped for a while, obviously they couldn't bear to beat a person to death just because of such a trivial matter.

The literati looked into his eyes, turned his eyes slightly and said: "Okay, seeing that you know you are wrong, I will spare your life. If there are people who make troubles later, they will be killed in one shot. I want to kill you untouchables. If you trample an ant to death, I hope you will be self-aware!"

Faced with threatening words, these unarmed people can only choose to swallow their anger.

With his prestige already established, the literati showed a smile on his face, looked at Li Huiyi, and said slowly: "You don't look like an ordinary person, why are you hanging out with these untouchables?"

Hearing this, Li Huiyi was startled, but said with no expression on his face: "My lord, I have studied in a private school for a few days, but it's a pity that my family has fallen."

"Oh." The literati nodded slightly, waved and said, "No wonder, so, you come with me, I have something to explain."

Li Huiyi frowned, but immediately showed a flattering smile, and hurried forward, following behind the literati who had turned around.

The two stayed a few hundred meters away from the crowd. The literati looked back at Li Huiyi and said, "This time, you are going to follow the doctor to collect medicine. Although the matter is easy, it can be urgent."

"I want you to manage these people and let each of them fulfill the requirements as much as possible. Are you willing?"

As a supervisor, there are advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that you will offend others. The advantage is that you can relax. Li Huiyi is injured, so he really can't do much.

But taking over the supervisor will increase the possibility of revealing his identity. This is doing things for the government. If a high-ranking official comes that day, I am afraid that he will be able to see through it at a glance.

Li Huiyi thought for a while, and said in a dilemma: "My lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. The villain is afraid that I won't be able to handle what my lord told me, and I'll bring you into trouble."

The corner of the literati's mouth slightly raised, and he said slowly: "You are afraid that these untouchables will come to you in private, don't worry, I will let the yamen servants cooperate with you."

Seeing that the literati misunderstood what he meant, Li Huiyi frowned slightly, and when he was about to speak, the literati waved his hand and said, "This matter is settled like this, you can go back."

Unable to refuse, Li Huiyi had no choice but to accept. After all, the overreaction would make people think too much, so it's better to take one step at a time.

When Li Huiyi returned to the crowd, Xiao Wang immediately approached to inquire about what happened just now, but Li Huiyi didn't answer.

Just when Xiao Wang was about to continue asking, the yamen servant suddenly started talking, forcing him to keep his mouth shut.
