The Concubine of Crossing

The magistrate of Zhao, who had been friends with the Luo family before, had been transferred after all. The new magistrate was not the one Luo Laibao knew in his previous life, but a middle-aged man who was a bit short.

But it's normal when you think about it. At that time, the Luo family was rich. In order to occupy their property, the Li family specially arranged for a county magistrate to come over for easy handling. It was also very easy.

Thinking about it this way, the county magistrate is probably not from the Li family.

He asked for money to find the new county magistrate, and straight to the point he talked about the relocation.

The new county magistrate suddenly showed a embarrassed expression, "This...the people here may not listen to me."

Money needs food: "..." A county magistrate who honestly admits that he is useless, has lost his temper.

The new county magistrate was also very wronged, "The people in this county are very difficult to discipline, and their tempers are getting more and more irritable. If they disagree, they will fight. Today they will fight for a bucket of rice, and tomorrow they will fight for a piece of cloth. I've never seen people so violent."

Money for food: "..." It turned out that it was not an accident that they were surrounded as soon as they entered the city.

Li Xiao and Luo Laibao were also a little surprised, but Luo Laibao just raised his eyebrows and then regained his composure. At the beginning, the shop sold by Luo's family was not cheated or coaxed. They bought it with their own money. It's not his fault that he doesn't know how to operate.

Money and food are also speechless, so I can only say, "Master Wu, you can arrange it first." As for whether it will have any effect, we can only wait and see.

County Magistrate Wu saw that the imperial envoy had already spoken, so he had to be notified.When arranging these things, he didn't ask for money behind his back, and his tone of speech with his subordinates was also very polite.

The execution speed of this county magistrate is obviously not as strong as that of Hu County magistrate. Let’s not talk about the execution speed of the people. The attitude of the servants is not very good. , I have no interest in talking from door to door, just yelled a few words on the street, and then came back listlessly to do business.

County magistrate Hu looked at the money and asked for food, with an expression that I had tried my best.

Money needs food and can't help but take a deep breath.

Both Li Xiao and Luo Laibao remembered the ethos of the county magistrate Zhao, not to mention the order and prohibition, if the magistrate Zhao issued an order, basically everyone could take action.

Now that a county magistrate has been changed, how can there be such a big change?

Taking advantage of a yamen servant passing by, Luo Laibao asked, "This little brother, why didn't you see Brother Lu?" Bao's relationship is also pretty good, the kind who can say hello when they meet.

Hearing Luo Laibao's question, the yamen servant turned his head and glanced at him, and then said in a strange way, "Hey, isn't this Young Master Luo? The young one can't afford to be the elder brother of the young master."

Luo Laibao: "..." With such a strange tone, could it be possible that this person also bought his shop?

Probably because of the long-standing grievances about Luo Laibao's problems, after he was done with Luo Laibao, he said sourly, "He went to make a fortune with Mr. Hu, why would he stay in such a crappy place? "

Well, in addition to buying a shop, I am also unhappy here because Mr. Hu brought others and didn't take them!

Luo Laibao looked at his face for a long time, and complained to Li Xiao in a low voice, "I won't take him with me just because of the stepmother's face!"

Li Xiao laughed and rubbed his head.I thought to myself that it's a good thing that person didn't hear what he said, otherwise the face of the stepmother would have turned into the face of the enemy.

With the sound of the gongs and drums of the yamen servants, no one packed up and was about to leave. The common people heard that Qian Yaoliang and others came here to relieve the disaster. Some people even saw grain carts and horses outside the city when they went out. He ran over and surrounded the county government, asking the imperial envoy to distribute food to them quickly.

I laughed out loud when I asked for food, although they did come to provide disaster relief, and they didn't come to hear the praise of the people, but the way these people asked him to distribute food so confidently, it was as if he owed them Same.

There are strange flowers every year, but he has seen too many in this small county.

Qian Yaoliang said with a cold face, "Then give it to them." He came to save people, but he only had one hand, and he could only point out a target for everyone and help them push them.Even because of the need to protect the people moving north, the people around him have gradually dispersed, and there is no way to use the army to force everyone to go north.

Fate is their own, and they are the ones who can choose in the end. What he can do is only what he can do.

Luo Laibao felt a little guilty, "It's our family who spoiled them." At the beginning, the Luo family was always kind to people, and they would help people who needed help. Over time, people developed a dependent character, and even felt help from others It should be all right, and a group of white-eyed wolves was born.

Qian Yaoliang looked at him and was silent for a while, then finally patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Sheng Mien fights Mi Qiu, and Shi En must be careful." He also listened to Luo's affairs these two days He said a lot, and he didn't know what to say other than lamenting the lack of people's hearts.

On the second day after the few people arrived in Pucheng, they distributed food if they needed money, and the amount was probably enough for them to eat for half a month.

People in Pucheng were a little dissatisfied with this, and felt that they were given less.

Qian Yaoliang's eyes have also completely turned cold. Compared with the people in the last county who were grateful for only one day's rations, and looking at these white-eyed wolves now, Qian Yaoliang deeply realized that not all ordinary people It is simple and grateful.

After confirming again that none of these people were going to move out, Qian Yaoliang waved his hand and prepared to lead the team away.

Seeing that they were about to leave, some people quit and blocked in front of their carriage and yelled, "Just give this little food, it's not enough to eat at all, aren't you disaster relief? How could you leave us regardless of our lives?"

Money needs food: "..." I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.He has finally seen the so-called troublemakers out of poor mountains and evil waters.

He shouldn't have turned a corner here when he discovered that there was a small county here when he was looking at the map, but should have followed the map all the way south.

Qian Yaoliang's face sank completely, he took a step forward, drew out his sword, and said in a deep voice, "This is the imperial sword bestowed by His Majesty, and any bureaucrats below the fourth rank can be beheaded first and then played. I don't know if there are adults above the fourth rank among you." , let me stop this sword?"

Pucheng is not a big place, and its location is quite out of the way. Even caravans rarely pass by on weekdays. Naturally, they have little knowledge of the outside world. The most they listen to are the books of some storytellers.

They don't know how old the fourth-rank officials are, but they know that the largest county magistrate in Pucheng is not even a fourth-rank official.

Someone froze immediately and started to back away.Some people took a step back, feeling unwilling, and said with a stiff neck, "Murder is against the law. There are so many of us, he won't..." Before he could finish speaking, Qian Yaoliang had already slapped his sword on his neck with a cold face. Chop down.

This is the second time that everyone has seen money and food, and they have definitely practiced that quick, accurate and ruthless posture.When he retracted the sword, there was a chubby head on the ground, which seemed to be full of disbelief. The mouth on the head opened and closed, and the word "dare" was faintly spit out.

The person who was talking nonsense just now, his head fell to the ground in the blink of an eye, and the people who only know how to fight in the nest immediately became frightened, and ran away in all directions with a scream.

Qian Yaoliang looked at the scattered crowd, afraid of another accident, said, "Let's go!"

Everyone hastened to leave.I don't know if they were frightened by the method of asking for money or food, or they left too fast, and those people didn't have time to do anything more.

When he saw the big team, Qian Yaoliang also let out a long breath, and finally took a deep look in the direction of Pucheng, and waved, "Let's go." I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. They asked him to leave most of the food ten miles away, and only brought a small part of the food to the city gate. Maybe one head was not enough for them to leave.

Speaking of which, he came here for disaster relief, so leaving halfway like this is actually a bit dereliction of duty.It's just that people have tempers, and he really doesn't know how to save such a group of people whose selfishness has almost been carved into their bones.

Furthermore, he still has several cities that he hasn't visited, so it is impossible to stay here for too long.

After various considerations, Qian Yaoliang simply left Pucheng, thinking in his heart that when he came back, he could take another look. If these people figured it out by then, he could take them northward with them.

Thinking about it this way, Qian Yaoliang took the troops and continued southward.

The further south we went, the more severe the drought became. Almost all the farmlands we saw along the way were dry and cracked, and even the most vigorous weeds became dry.

The water source is becoming more and more difficult to find. The water they brought has already been drunk, and now the water added is all from the big river. The astringent taste in the mouth is like this, and the water has become a very precious thing. After taking a sip, I have to think about when I will save the next sip, so that I can find the water source in time to replenish it.

Qian Yaoliang was deeply aware that if they didn't hurry up, they might also face the danger of water shortage.

And that time also meant that, let alone disaster relief, even they might die of thirst.

Qian Yaoliang turned around and asked, "How long will it take for the next town?"

Li Xiao and Luo Laibao studied the map for a while, and then said after a while, "There should be two days' journey, but in half a day, we should be able to reach the canal, where we can replenish water."

Hearing his words, everyone's spirits were shaken, their heavy steps became a little easier, and smiles were unconsciously on their faces.

The third son asked cautiously, "Then, can I drink water as I please?"

Before Li Xiao could answer, Xiaodouzi tapped his head lightly, "No, you can drink whatever you want when you see water."

Now that the water level is getting lower and lower, no one can tell whether there is still water in the canal. Now that the water has been drunk, if the water source is not found by then, isn't it courting death?

The third son naturally knew this truth, and he didn't get angry when he was hit by Xiaodouzi, but his head drooped again after he had just regained his energy.

I don't know if it's because he looks too pitiful, Xiaodouzi untied his water bag, handed it to him, "Take a sip."

The third son looked at the water bag in front of him, then at Xiaodouzi's chapped lips, and finally shook his head, "It's okay, I'm not thirsty."

Xiaodouzi glanced at him, took back the water bag and hung it on his belt without saying anything.

Third son: "..." Doesn't this person know what politeness is?
