life in a hurry

All the way to the destination, the road is gradually widened and leveled, with lush trees on both sides, a scene of prosperity and peace.

Chen Feiqing put away other thoughts and looked solemn.

He has seen famines in other places, and people even gnawed on the bark.

Lu Ding knew what he was thinking, and said: "When I sent Qin Zhengwen here earlier, it was quite late. Maybe the victims had the courage to think that they would not be discovered. They really came to dig the bark, grass roots, and leaves, and then they were patrolled. The soldiers caught it."

Because of this, Qin Zhengwen went into the city overnight, making all the officials in the city sleepless.

Those officials still had something to say, and they argued that they were afraid that the victims would swell their stomachs and die after eating bark and grass roots. As for arresting and beating people, that was the work of the patrols. The patrols were called on a temporary basis. .

Qin Zhengwen replied with one sentence: "Why do the victims not eat the relief food, but eat bark and grass roots?"

All the officials fell silent.

Qin Zhengwen asked again: "Where is the relief food?"

An official said: "It's over."

Qin Zhengwen asked: "Have you finished eating?"

A group of officials immediately got angry: "My lord, you are indeed an imperial envoy, but you can't talk like that!"

Qin Zhengwen was much angrier than them, took out the imperial decree and threw it over their heads, cursing: "What do you want me to say, if it's not for the imperial decree, if it's not for me remembering that I am an imperial envoy, I will now Even your parents and ancestors scolded you!"

Seeing such an imperial envoy for the first time in this life, all the officials forgot to speak, and those who were beaten by the imperial decree dared not speak, and held the imperial decree very respectfully.

It's fine for this imperial envoy to scold people as soon as he arrives. How dare he even throw away the imperial decree? !

Lu Ding imitated Chen Feiqing's Qin Zhengwen at that time, and said, "I don't think he held back after that, he turned a corner and scolded his parents and ancestors."

Chen Feiqing said: "The emperor asked him to come, and what he scolded is what the emperor wants to scold."

Lu Ding said: "Of course, everyone knows it, so no one dares to scold back. Just because they dare not scold back, they hold back their hatred. If the soldiers sent by Lord Hou hadn't arrived in time, and King Ning came again, I would still I can't close my eyes, I think Qin Zhengwen's head will be gone when I wake up from sleep."

Chen Feiqing asked: "By the way, since the people from the Ministry of War have arrived, the new relief food should also have arrived. Haven't opened the warehouse yet?"

Lu Ding said: "Of course we let it go now, but if you refuse to let it go, it will cause chaos. You don't need to tell me what you want. Qin Zhengwen exploded again. After arguing with them for a day, he finally said that he would kill him head-on."

Chen Feiqing: "..."

This sounds a little familiar.

Lu Ding said: "He really planned to hit him, but it happened that King Ning came, walked towards him, and said that he should hit him instead of him."

Chen Feiqing: "..."

This feeling of familiarity is indeed true.

King Ning has always liked blood spattered three feet, but he didn't expect Qin Zhengwen to like this too.

Qin Zhengwen was about to be killed. Although everyone was afraid on the surface, they were actually looking forward to it in their hearts.However, King Ning is also going to bump into him, so it's not a matter of being reprimanded by the emperor afterwards, it has to be buried with him.

Ever since, I had to open a warehouse to release grain.

The two came outside the city gate. The neighborhood is lively, with simple sheds set up everywhere, and the sheds are full of disaster victims.

Lu Ding said: "They refused to put all the victims in at once. They said they would endanger the residents in the city. Finally, they agreed to release a batch every day. However, Qin Zhengwen asked soldiers to guard outside and enter according to the number every day. , and arrange batches in batches, it is considered orderly."

Chen Feiqing saw that there were indeed soldiers guarding everywhere. The victims might be too hungry to move, or they knew they were saved, but they were all obedient.

Chen Feiqing said: "Master Qin is really capable."

Lu Ding said: "That's right."

The two led their horses to the end of the line and waited to enter the city for inspection. They saw that the city guards were very strict in their inspection, and they had to interrogate people for a long time when they saw people in poor clothes, for fear that disaster victims might be mixed in.

What's funny is that the father and daughter who were in front of them were abruptly let go. The father kept the daughter because the father dressed better and the daughter wore ordinary clothes.

The father hurriedly defended: "Master, the child grows fast, so my hometown always wears the child's old clothes from the older sister, which is not good. But you can't let her leave the child outside by herself."

The city guards didn't listen, they just said: "Then don't go in either."

The father was probably afraid of the disaster victims outside the city, so he said anxiously, "I'll give my daughter my clothes and let her go in first, okay?"

The city guard said: "No."

The father thought for a long time, and had no choice but to take out a piece of silver and hand it to the guards.

Only then did the defenders look a little relaxed, and reached out to pick it up, but was blocked.

The person who obstructed it was naturally Chen Feiqing.

Chen Feiqing wrapped the father's hand, pushed back, and then pushed the father's shoulder to send it inside the city gate.

The city guard hurriedly stopped him and said, "Who are you?"

Chen Feiqing said: "I'm a person who wants to enter the city. You have blocked me here for a long time, and still won't let anyone in?"

The father wanted to go back to find his daughter, but Chen Feiqing stopped him with his hand: "Uncle, don't come out after you go in, and keep the money. I'll bring your daughter in."

After finishing speaking, Chen Feiqing bent down and smiled at the little girl: "Don't be afraid, my brother is a good man, so I will take you in. Look, your father is watching you there."

Seeing her father looking at her from a few steps away, and seeing Chen Feiqing's kind face, the little girl nodded obediently.

Chen Feiqing took off his coat and put it on the little girl, and inserted his white jade hairpin into the little girl's bun, picked her up, and strode towards the city gate.

The city guard hurriedly stopped him: "Bold!"

Chen Feiqing said: "Now she is rich, the clothes and hairpin cost 30 taels at least."

Lu Ding said in his heart, 30 taels, I will give you 60 taels, you can buy me one, alas, worry about people, the rich are so rich, and the poor are so poor.

The city guard said: "Then you can't go in either!"

Chen Feiqing said: "You don't look at people when you look at clothes, and you don't care about things. I would like to know what other fair reasons you have to stop me?"

The guard said: "This girl has nothing to do with you!"

Chen Feiqing said: "If you say that it has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me? I also said that she is my daughter."

The city guard said: "Nonsense! I saw with my own eyes that her father is that person, you troublemaker!"

Chen Feiqing said: "Since you know who her father is, why did you leave her alone outside the city?"

The city guard said: "My lord has an order to prevent disaster victims from entering the city—"

"Then please, sir, look clearly, the victims outside are all sallow and emaciated from hunger, this kid is neatly dressed and chubby," Chen Feiqing pinched the kid's cheek very much, He said again, "Where does it look like a disaster victim?"

The little girl seemed a little unhappy when she heard this. She glanced at Chen Feiqing and dared not speak out.

Lu Ding, who was in a complicated mood, changed his mind. He felt that Fu Nansheng was probably eager to find an honest person to take over the offer, so he relied on his elder brother.

Why do you say that a girl has a chubby face and thinks she is saying something nice?

Even though the girl looks like five or six years old.

But she is a woman after all.

Lu Ding sighed worriedly.

The city guard said: "Anyway, it can't be done!"

Chen Feiqing looked back and saw that there were still a lot of people lined up, and she didn't intend to continue entanglement, so she said directly: "It's okay if you don't go in, you can give me something to Yao Yi."

Seeing what he said, the guards were stunned and asked, "Who are you? What are you talking about?"

Chen Feiqing said: "You go and tell him that Chen Feiqing from the Marquis of An Guo brought his god-sister whom he just recognized into the city, but was stopped, unable to enter his city, and he didn't force her to do so, so I will leave and see you in front of the emperor."

The guards actually didn't know the name Chen Feiqing, but he knew what the Marquis of An Guo was.

Half an hour later, Yao Yi found Chen Feiqing who was chatting with the victims under the shelter of the victims at the gate of the city, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, the young master is more and more handsome, and he has the air of the prince back then, what a tiger!" A father has no dogs."

Chen Feiqing said: "Don't dare to be, my father won't be unable to enter even a city gate."

Although he said this very lightly, Yao Yi knew about the past.When An Guohou was young, his temper was not small. I heard that once he entered the gate of the city but was not able to enter. Ten days later, he directly led the army and took down the city.

Of course, it's a bit exaggerated to say that. Originally, An Guohou was there to find out the details, but he was recognized. After running back, he waved his hand and hit him directly.

But when everyone talked about it later, they didn't mention the story behind it, and just took this allusion as a talking point.

Yao Yi said with a smile: "Young Master is joking. The people below are ignorant, why are you angry with him? Go, go, a few days ago I was still talking about why you haven't arrived yet. Go, go to brother's mansion, Let me clean you up first. When you marry the princess next month, it will be a real family, so give me face."

Chen Feiqing said: "No."

Yao Yi thought it was strange. Chen Feiqing was famous for his temper. If others said that they might get angry because of it, it was possible, but it was very impossible to put it on Chen Feiqing.

He thought for a while, then coaxed a child and said: "Then brother will help you vent your anger now, okay? Let him look down on others, our young master is a good-looking talent, his eyes have grown white."

Chen Feiqing glanced at him and said, "No."
