General's Gown

"Your blood and sweat?"

Yan Changqing said coldly. Among the boiling crowd, his voice was not loud, but it had the power to penetrate people's hearts: "After the earthquake, in less than half a month, the land under your name increased by 730 mu. How dare you ask these questions? Where did the land come from? Where is the land deed?"

When rich man Zhang heard the words, his face was extremely ugly, but he couldn't explain it for a while, he just kept inciting the people behind him: "Don't listen to him, be careful not to be deceived!"

Yan Changqing looked at the people behind rich man Zhang holding hoes and waving sickles, and he knew in his heart that many of them were rich man Zhang's farm laborers.He walked over and said to a middle-aged woman wearing a red scarf, "Ma'am, your child's disease is better?"

The woman looked at Yan Changqing in surprise, was taken aback for a moment, and said with trembling lips, "You...do you still remember?"

In the few days when Yan Changqing first came to the city to provide porridge for disaster relief, there was a woman queuing up among the crowd waiting for porridge relief every day, but she finally got in line. She didn't pick it up and drink it like other hungry victims, but Carefully holding the porridge like a treasure, squeezed out of the crowd, brought it to his youngest son who was infected with the disease, and fed it to him bit by bit.

Yan Changqing happened to witness all this, and seeing the poor orphan and widow, he specifically asked his subordinates to take care of the mother and child.Seeing that the woman was still superstitious about holy medicine and had some taboos about Wei Jin's decoction, Yan Changqing drank a bowl of decoction by himself in front of their mother and son, and only then dispelled the woman's worries.

"Why don't you remember?" Yan Changqing said softly, "Your child is only eight years old and has a mole in the corner of his eye?"

"That's right!" The woman nodded again and again, and when she mentioned her child, a smile appeared in the corner of her eyes: "He's completely healed now, and he can jump and jump..." Before she could finish speaking, the woman suddenly stopped, her face pale. There was a burst of embarrassment and shame.That's right, if it weren't for the help of this fairy-like adult in front of me, her child would have already...

She is really confused, how could she be fooled here by a few words and a few copper coins from the rich man?That's her family's benefactor!

Yan Changqing's eyes swept over lightly.

"My lord, have you ever fainted again after taking the holy medicine?"

A half-white-haired farmer wanted to hide the stick in his hand with some embarrassment: "No dizziness, no dizziness. A few days ago, I was sad as if I died, but I will be fine later!"

"Auntie, is your disease cured too? I heard from Wei Jin that your legs and feet were not good, so he cured them..."

A fat woman with a black and red complexion lowered her head, not daring to agree, she just backed away, her legs and feet were very agile.

More and more hoes and clubs were laid down.The crowd began to subside slowly like boiling water turning cold again.

He Lixin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the crowd: "Do you understand now? Our Master Yan is wholeheartedly for our people to fight the earthquake and treat diseases. The same is true for moving cities to fill rivers. He has done so many good things. , Can it still harm you this time? If you don’t leave quickly, the city will really collapse! Everyone should hurry home and clean up, the sooner you leave, the safer it will be?”

"Wait a minute!" The sharp and slippery voice sounded again.

Yan Changqing turned his head and met Rich Zhang's expressionless gaze, which was so venomous that it was even better than the sick wolf on Baicang Mountain that bit him.

"Lord Yan has indeed done a lot of good things for the people of Qinchuan before. But one yard counts for one yard. Now I don't believe a word of his words!" Rich Zhang saw that the crowd was about to retreat, and shouted loudly:

"Everyone, don't be fooled! This person is no longer the Lord Yan when he first came here!"

"What do you mean?" He Li asked loudly.

"What do you mean?" Seeing that everyone was looking at him, rich man Zhang straightened his chest, glared at Yan Changqing, and said sharply, "He was possessed by the evil drought demon in Baicang Mountain. Anyone of you who dares to speak for him is doing something for a tiger!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! What are you talking about, don't talk nonsense and spit blood!" He Li immediately retorted.

"Do you want evidence? Hehe..." Rich Master Zhang sneered, and said to several government soldiers, "Since your Master Yan came back, did you ask you to move the lotus water tank in his courtyard?"

On that day, rich man Zhang refused to give up after being shut down, so he secretly climbed up to the eaves to sneak in, but happened to meet Yan Changqing's personal guards calling the government soldiers to remove the water tank.He didn't take it seriously at first, but the little guard's unintentional "the general is sick and doesn't like water" made Rich Zhang suspicious instantly.

A few soldiers who were helping in Yan Changqing's mansion looked at me and I looked at you, they didn't want to admit it, but the expressions they didn't have time to hide betrayed them.

Many people who were about to leave stopped one after another, looked suspiciously at Yan Changqing, and then at rich man Zhang.

"What does moving a few water tanks mean?" He Li asked back, completely oblivious to the paler face of Yan Changqing behind him.

"Moving a water tank is a sign of fear of water." A voice suddenly came to mind in the crowd.Everyone looked back one after another, only to see that the person speaking was a middle-aged man with a long beard and dressed as a doctor.

"Hey, let me tell you Doctor Song, why are you here to join in the fun if you're not dumping holy medicines that you can't sell in your pharmacy?" someone taunted.

Dr. Song ignored these few words of ridicule, he squeezed in front of the crowd, secretly made a show of flirting with rich man Zhang, and said to the crowd: "The person possessed by the drought demon is afraid of cold and water. If you don't believe me, you can pour a little water on him." Basin water, see if he is afraid, just try it!"

Yan Changqing only felt a "boom" in his head, and his face turned pale instantly.

Only a few people in the mansion knew about his illness, so how could this Dr. Song, who had never met before, know about his illness!

Wei Jin changed his face, stepped forward, and stood in front of Yan Changqing: "You are also a doctor, don't you know that there is a disease in the world, which is caused by being bitten by wolf dogs, and it is called hydrophobia! Why do you keep saying 'drought'? Evil!"

"I'm indeed a doctor, but I've been a doctor for so many years, but I've never heard of hydrophobia." Dr. Song spoke boldly, smiled slightly, and said to the people around him, "Have you ever heard of hydrophobia?"

The people fell silent for a moment, many of them shook their heads, and more of them raised their hoes and sticks again, with no hint of caution and fear in their eyes.

Rich Zhang clapped his hands and said, "Everyone heard it just now, just as the little doctor himself said, this Master Yan was bitten by a wolf dog." His eyes swept over Yan Changqing's injured elbow under his robe, showing complacency With a smile: "Then can anyone tell me how the drought demon in Qinchuan City appeared for the first time seven years ago?"

"I know!" A short, rough-looking man waved his hand.Everyone looked at him. He had never received so many people's attention before, his face flushed slightly, and his tone was full of excitement:

"I saw with my own eyes that the man was bitten by a wolf on the mountain, and then he was taken up by a hag! Ah, he rolled all over the ground, and when he saw someone coming with a bucket, he screamed in fright, crying and begging for his family He smashed the water tank at home, and encouraged others to fill up the Bailang River, saying that there were ghosts crying in the river, and when he heard it at night, he would hit the wall in pain!"

"That's right, that's right!" Another person said: "Then that person went crazy, and he bit anyone who bit him, and two people in his family were bitten by him! What is it if it's not being possessed by evil spirits? Whoever gets it is unlucky." !

"Isn't it! What kind of hydrophobia, where is such an evil disease in the world! It's the upper body of Drought!"

"There was also that time four years ago, when the man seemed to be bitten by a wild dog, and he trembled with fright when he touched a little water. When he saw the Bailang River, he couldn't stand still, and he said he wanted to fill the river! Hey If he hadn't been driven out of the city by a few Taoist priests, how many people would have been killed!"

"It seems that Lord Yan has been raped by Hanba, otherwise it would be fine, why would he send someone to fill the river when he got off the mountain!"

"This Hanba must have come back again. He wanted revenge, so he picked a high-ranking official on his body. What kind of earthquake is it? It's all nonsense! Lied to us!"

"I've heard that after a big earthquake, there will be no more earthquakes for many years. It's very safe. I think it's this Hanba who is lying and retaliating. He just wants to drive us out of the city so that we can occupy our land. Treasure land!"

The people's discussion became louder and louder, and Wei Jin said anxiously: "Qinchuan City is really about to lose its hold. If you don't believe me, if you go to the top of Baicang Mountain and look down, the ground around the city has collapsed!"

The common people stared at Wei Jin with distrust, and someone spat, pointed at Wei Jin's nose and cursed: "It seems that you are also confused by this evil spirit of drought! Don't think we don't know, Baicang Mountain It's a man-eating wolf, why do you want to trick us into going up? Bah!!!!"

As soon as this remark came out, the people became even more excited. Many people clenched their fists, raised their sickles high, and made an attacking posture with the stones in their hands, fearing that something terrible would happen in the next moment. The monster suddenly jumped out of Yan Changqing's body.

"This person is no longer the old Lord Yan, everyone, don't be afraid, let's go together!" Shrill shouts sounded from all directions, and the owners of the voices were indeed those who had been cut off by Yan Changqing and who had accumulated old and new grudges Wealthy businessman.

And the people who were instigated by them were as angry as they were, but the reason was simpler.

Some of them were originally farm laborers, holding the rice bowls given by the rich, so they naturally wanted to do things for the master.Job is the first priority, as for right and wrong, what does it have to do with them?Some are reluctant to part with the one-acre three-point land at home, dislike the low compensation, and want to take this opportunity to see if they can earn more.

There are also some who come to accompany and cheer for the few copper coins given by the rich.

But more of them are the most ordinary ordinary people on weekdays.In the isolated and remote environment, these people are the uncivilized majority, ignorant, superstitious and echoing others.They didn't have any hatred or relationship with Yan Changqing, and many of them even received favors from Yan Changqing and others.But they were the ones who most firmly believed that Yan Changqing was evil among this vast crowd.

"Hurry up and get rid of this dirty thing! We must not let him harm Qinchuan City again!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

A few shouts and curses sounded like a few drops of water suddenly splashed into the hot oil pan, and the crowd boiled again, fighting, angry, and entangled.

He Li screamed loudly and rushed towards the crowd, holding hands with the government soldiers, trying his best to form a human wall with his back and arms: "You are crazy! I guarantee with my life and wealth, Master Yan is definitely not—!"

With a bang, someone was carrying a large basin of cold water and poured it over the loose wall of people. Wei Jin cried out in surprise and tried to block it, but it was too late.

Most of the dirty water mixed with seal paper ash was poured directly on Yan Changqing.Amidst Wei Jin's mournful and angry screams, Yan Changqing's body flickered, and he fell to the ground with a plop.

Wei Jin grabbed rich man Zhang's collar and yelled, "How dare you! How dare you!!!"

The rich man Zhang quietly put the iron rod that hit Yan Changqing's knee hard just now into his long sleeves when he was unprepared, and with a sneer, he broke away from Wei Jin's hand and shouted at everyone: "Look, everyone! General Yan Isn't it the silver-faced Yan Luo who is invincible in all battles? But now, just a basin of cold water scares him so much that he can't stand up! Tell me, why is this!?"

"Drought! Drought!"

More and more people came up, waving their fists, splashing saliva, shouting frantically, and eyes of hatred, like a violent tornado, desperately sweeping everything that wanted to resist it and oppose it.And in the center of the tornado, there is only a thin figure, looking so lonely.

Yan Changqing lowered his head and bit his lips firmly.The cold, dirty water stained his hair and mixed with the cold sweat on his forehead, dripping down his pale cheeks drop by drop.

cold.

So cold.

Although the insidious blow of rich man Zhang just now was painful, it was nothing to Yan Changqing at this time.What was truly frightening was that basin of icy water. Every drop of water seemed to have turned into an invisible blade of ice, deeply embedded in his flesh and blood. It was extremely cold, cutting his nerves bluntly. .

Extremely cold is almost suffocating pain.Yan Changqing only felt that every joint of his body was trembling amid countless ice thorns, and every inch of his muscles was convulsing.

He really couldn't stand up.

"He's really not Hanba, really not!"

Wei Jin roared hoarsely, struggling to rush over, but more people stopped him.Some people looked angry: "You must be with him, don't try to help him!"

Some people earnestly persuaded: "Doctor, for the sake of giving medicine to save people, I kindly advise you, Hanba will kill people, you must stay away from him. Don't be confused!"

The human wall formed by He Li finally collapsed, and more people trampled on their fallen bodies, surging towards Yan Changqing.

He Li fell to the ground and exclaimed like an explosion: "No!"

I don't know who was the first to raise the stone in his hand and smash it at Yan Changqing.

Fist-sized stones, dyed bright red, rolled aside.

Yan Changqing raised his head suddenly, staring fixedly at the person who threw stones at him.

That was the short man who rushed to answer the question just now. If Yan Changqing remembers correctly, this man also timidly accepted the disaster relief porridge he handed over with his own hands, without daring to look at him; Similarly, relying on his porridge for disaster relief and decoction for curing diseases, he has gone through the most difficult days in Qinchuan City.

Is such a person more ignorant, or more ridiculous?

Facing Shang Yan Changqing's sharp and clear gaze, the short man felt his heart tremble, but it was the first time he was watched by so many people, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "What are you looking at! If you really are Master Yan, we will naturally I won’t beat you. But you are now possessed by an evil spirit, and beating you is to eliminate harm for the people!”

After speaking, he watched Yan Changqing staring at him without saying a word, the wound on his forehead was bleeding, the wound wrapped around his arm was splashed with water, and blood was slowly flowing down.All the blood accumulated into a small pool of dazzling scarlet on the ground, which made him a little inexplicably afraid.

It's strange, why does he always feel guilty when he's playing the game openly and aboveboard?

Most of the people behind him have never hurt anyone or seen blood. Seeing this scene, they were a little timid and unwilling to give up. They put down the stone sticks in their hands, rotten vegetable leaves, egg sludge, and turned to Yan Changqing. Throw away.

It seems that this can still prove the justice of their actions and their common hatred.

"Get him out!"

"Get out! Don't let him harm people in the city!"

Amidst many obstacles, Wei Jin had already burst into tears. He stretched out his arms to help Yan Changqing up, but his hands were too far, too far away from that person.

"Please don't fight...don't fight!"

"Stop hitting..."

"You are all wrong, wrong..."

The heart-piercing cries and pleadings were too weak, and they were drowned in the noisy voices just as they exited.

He Li finally struggled to get up from the crowd, the bridge of his nose was kicked off by someone, the front of his clothes was covered with blood, and one arm was dislocated.But he still yelled loudly to the soldiers who were watching the scene motionlessly all around:

"Go and protect the adults! What are you doing in a daze!!"

All the soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, showing hesitation, but no one stood up.

He Li slumped on the ground in despair.He knew that these government soldiers had the same idea as those common people when they saw that Yan Changqing was unable to stand up after being splashed with water.

He Xin suddenly had a terrible guess.Did Yan Changqing really suffer from hydrophobia?That disease is a terminal illness that even gods cannot cure.And in Qin Chuan, where folk customs have not yet changed and people believe in ghosts and gods, this kind of illness will only be considered as unknown.

what to do?What should he do? ! !

Rich man Zhang approached Yan Changqing, his voice was sinister and triumphant:

"Master Yan, I'll give you one last chance. If you agree to pay me three times the compensation, I can let you spend the last few days comfortably. If you don't agree, just lie in the desert outside the city and wait." Die!"

Yan Changqing gritted his teeth and raised his head.Even though his whole body was soaked in a pool of bitter cold, his painful internal organs were convulsed, even though his body was covered with filth, dripping filth mixed with blood dripping from the corners of his clothes and cheeks, but his eyes still seemed sharp. The Xuejian never had a trace of filth or weakness.

This look made rich man Zhang's heart tremble, his heart froze, and he said viciously: "Whether you agree or not, I'm asking you something!"

Several Taoist priests came forward to meet him, each holding a basin of freshly thawed ice water, still braving the white chill.

"stop!"

Wei Jin cried out in shock.He knew that people with hydrophobia were already afraid of the cold in water, let alone this icy water?If this is splashed on the upper body again, the cold pain will be like being peeled off a layer of skin alive!

"Are you agreeing or not?" Only Yan Changqing could hear, harshly asking and threatening: "This taste is not good for you!"

Yan Changqing silently clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, and stared at rich man Zhang without blinking.

Shameless, greedy bastard, how could he, Yan Changqing, bow his head to such a person? !

Two decisive words popped out of Yan Changqing's teeth:

stop!think!

With a bang, another basin of ice water poured down.
