Treacherous ministers have deep routines

Chapter 25 The grace of saving lives

Wei Man turned his face away, and "loved to answer and ignore" Lin Rang.

Lin Rang didn't feel anything, nor did he feel Wei Man's "resentment", and he was still happy.

After a while, Wei's father's condition stabilized, and they didn't come to travel, so they were ready to set off and continue on the road.

Everyone got into the chariots, not just the servants, even Wei's father's attitude towards Lin Rang was not that bad, not as cold and disdainful as when they first met.

After all, Lin Rang used a handful of salt and a bag of water to pull Wei's father back from the gate of hell. Although Wei's father didn't want to say it, he was still grateful in his heart.

Only Wei Su, as always, felt that Lin Rang had no real skills, it was a blind cat who met a dead mouse, and it was all luck.

Lin Rang didn't want to talk to Wei Suduo, and he didn't care what others thought of him, so he sat in the car with a blank face and didn't say a word.

Everyone rushed all the way, and the car was finally about to enter Zhao Liang's territory on this day.

Because of the death of the first emperor, warlords from all walks of life entered Beijing, and states and counties were also killed by you, and fell into turbulent military chaos. Along the way, although there are ten miles and one pavilion, many pavilions, pavilions and princes have disappeared. There is no one to manage the post, and there is basically no place to replenish supplies.

Thanks to Wei Man's anticipation, Father Wei and Wei Su prepared some rations for the journey. Even so, rations were in short supply.

Cars and horses were driving on a remote path, Lin Rang opened the curtain of the car, and looked out through the gap. It is late autumn now, and the path is overgrown with weeds. ", the weeds swayed with the wind, forming an indescribable "wave" of vicissitudes.

Although Zhao Liang is not like the capital city of Xuanyang, it is also a prosperous place.It is recorded in the novel that there are seventeen cities in Zhaoliang, with a household of 17 and a population of 86. It can be said that it is not a small town.

However, all that came into view at this time was an indescribable vicissitudes and depression.

Sitting in the car, Wei Su got impatient, and said, "This damn place is so poor, you can't meet a single person even if you walk ten miles, and our rations are not enough..."

He said, and then said to Wei Man: "Brother, I heard that in Zhao Liang, there is a rich man named Fei Xu in Xiao Lian County. Is there such a person? We might as well go to Fei's house, maybe this Fei Xu will give us some money, which can also be used for conscription."

Wei Man didn't speak, and didn't know if he heard it.

Lin Rang noticed Wei Su's remarks. Fei Xu was not very well-known in the novel, and he was only mentioned in a few strokes, but he was the "big benefactor" of the Wei regime.

In the novel, after Wei Man escaped from Xuanyang, he came to Zhaoliang to fight against Tong Gao’s tyranny/government. With the generous support of Zhao Liang Xiaolian and Fei Xu, he devoted all his wealth to help Wei Man.

That's why it is said that Fei Xu is the great benefactor of the Wei regime. If Fei Xu hadn't been there, perhaps Wei Man would not have been able to raise troops like this and create such a great achievement.

When Lin Rang heard Wei Su mention Fei Xu, he thought of this "script".

The sun was already in the west, and they hadn't entered the city yet, so they couldn't stop the car, so everyone prepared to make do with some rations in the car.

Lin Rang and Xiao Baozi also got some rations, and just as the rations were distributed, the car suddenly shook, not because of the bumpy terrain, but because a group of people suddenly rushed out from the slope.

Lin Rang opened the curtain of the car, so he could see clearly, those people were dressed in rags, their faces were yellow and thin, their eyes were dull, and their faces were ashen. At first glance, they were people displaced by the war.

The refugees were resting on the side of the road, when they suddenly saw a carriage passing by, and the carriage looked good, they were so hungry, they couldn't help rushing forward, their ashen-like faces were full of savagery, trying to rob them. food.

The carriage was blocked halfway, and it shook vigorously. The horse was frightened, neighed loudly, and even kicked.

Wei Su swayed, and the pancake in his hand fell on the car floor, and he was furious immediately, "Wow!" He got out of the car with a sound, and pulled out the sword at his waist with a "chi-" and shouted: "Who dares to court death?" !?"

When he roared like this and drew his sword, the hungry and red-eyed refugees would inevitably be terrified, and they all shrank back immediately.

There were almost no strong men among these refugees. All the strong men were conscripted by the warlords, and the rest were women, children, old and young, and some people with congenital disabilities. They had no choice but to starve to death.

The refugees shrank back in fright, and did not dare to go forward. There were children among them, who cried out "Wow!", one child cried, and the other children also cried, and the ear-piercing wailing sounded into a chain. one slice.

"Call his mother!"

"Cry again, I will kill you!"

Wei Su cursed loudly and waved his sword to dismiss the refugees who were about to grab the car. Wei Man just glanced out of the window, frowned tightly, pressed the corners of his lips, and lost the frivolity and playfulness in the past. Wei Su's viciousness had no intention of stopping it.

Seeing this, Lin Rang didn't see waves in his eyes, but frowned, and immediately stepped down from the carriage, and handed the pancake in his hand to the crying child.

Lin Rang's move surprised Wei Man. Although Wei Man was surprised, he didn't ask questions immediately.

On the contrary, Wei Su couldn't bear his temper, and said with a sneer, "What are you doing fake? This pancake is your ration for today. If you want to show kindness, you will starve today. If there is no ration, I will give it to you."

Lin Rang didn't speak, didn't hesitate, and didn't even look at Wei Su who was mocking him. Instead, he handed the remaining pancake to another child.

The little bun Zhao Liang Wang leaned on the car window and looked out. Seeing Lin Rang's actions, he couldn't help pursing his lips, then stretched out his hand to pat his own stomach, and with a sound of "Da!", he also got out of the car, moving He jumped out of the car nimbly and handed out his pancakes to the refugees.

The servants and servants driving the chariot could not help but be moved by what Lin Rang and King Zhao Liang did.

These servants and servants were not nobles or gentry, they were born slaves, so they could feel the pain of refugees being displaced.

When the servants saw it, they followed Lin Rang and Xiao Baozi's example and distributed their pancakes to the refugees.

When the refugees saw the pancakes, they frantically stuffed them into their mouths. Their eyes were red from hunger, and they didn't see them thanking them. They just ate them, crying bitterly while eating.

Hearing the cries of refugees, Wei Su's abuse and sarcasm, and the bleak autumn wind, Wei Man finally got up and got out of the car. The rations are distributed to the refugees, and you know that our rations are running out, and today you are bound to go hungry."

Lin Rang listened to Wei Man's words, and turned his head away. He was thin and much shorter than Wei Man, and he could only see Wei Man's face when he raised his head slightly.

At this time, Lin Rang's eyes revealed a hint of doubt. Although he had no emotion, he still had doubts. He seemed to not understand what Wei Man's words meant.

Lin Rang said lightly: "Why did Wei Xiaowei say this? Isn't this a very easy-to-understand question? If you don't eat today, it's just a lack of rations, and at most you're hungry. And these If the refugees don’t eat today, the lack of this ration may be life-threatening... It’s just a small effort, so why not save these refugees.”

Wei Man listened to Lin Rang's words, and he spoke so calmly, as if this question was an easy-to-understand question, and it is such a question, how open-minded is needed to be able to say it and do it.

Wei Man narrowed his eyes, raised his hand suddenly, and said, "Put the food in!"

"Brother!" Wei Su immediately stopped him and said, "Brother, we don't have enough rations! If the rations are released, what will we eat afterwards? These are no more than untouchables, so there is no need to starve for them! Besides, these are refugees who are starving and red-eyed. Ah, if the release of food causes them to riot and loot, then..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Man had already glanced at Wei Su coldly, and said indifferently: "Do you think these refugees can riot against the army we brought?"

Although Wei Man came out of Xuanyang by "fleeing disaster", Father Wei had already made all-out preparations. They were people with an army, each of them had weapons in their hands, and they were all cronies who followed the Wei family. My confidant, if it really makes the refugees riot, then there is no need to hang around.

Wei Su was just looking for an excuse, so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore, he shrank his neck and kept silent, but gave Lin Rang a hard look, and put the blame on Lin Rang again.

Wei Man ordered the release of grain, but Father Wei did not stop him, as if he had acquiesced. The servants quickly took out the only grain they had left and distributed it to the refugees.

"Don't grab it!"

"It's all there!"

Refugees rushed over to ask for food, and at this moment, a sudden "Boom!" was heard, and one of the refugees suddenly fell to the ground. I don't know if it was squeezed or what. As soon as he fell to the ground, he seemed to faint. Did not get up.

Lin asked Ben to stand aside with a straight face, and when he heard the movement, he immediately strode over and pushed away the crowd to prevent the refugees from trampling on the fainted patients.

Lin Rang rushed over, and saw a man in his sixties, his face flushed, and he fell on the ground half-conscious, his forehead was covered with sweat, but he kept shivering.

The refugees were dressed in shabby clothes, their faces were covered with dust and mud, and their bodies smelled bad, but Lin Rang didn't feel disgusted at all, and immediately knelt down to check on the refugees.

He checked it without looking back, and immediately said, "Feng'er, bring the medicine box!"

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard it, but subconsciously ran over with the medicine box. For some reason, he always felt that Lin Rang's words were majestic and irresistible.

Lin Feng opened the medicine box, and Lin Rang turned his eyes around the medicine box, and immediately grabbed a small jug, poured out the water pills in it, and stuffed it into the refugee's mouth, then took off his clothes and wrapped it around the refugee's body.

Wei Su watched from the side, and couldn't help sneering: "Is it still possible to learn how to hang a pot to help the world? It's just an eunuch."

Wei Man frowned. Although he had already ordered the distribution of food, he still didn't agree with such hastily "meddling his own business". Firstly, the fainted refugee didn't know the details, and secondly, if he tried to save someone, it might delay their work If you can't enter the city before dark, you won't be able to find a place to stay overnight.

However, before Wei Man opened his mouth, Lin Rang had already administered water pills to the refugee and fed some water. The refugee woke up slowly and opened his eyes after wrapping himself in his clothes to warm him up.

Lin Rang said: "Old man, do you feel better?"

The refugee didn't expect someone to save him. He took Lin Rang's hand, cried and laughed, and thanked him with a dozen stacks, saying: "My home is in Zhaoliang, not far from here. I was going out to do business. Cheng Xiang met bandits, and the people around him fled to death, leaving me as a useless old man, walking all the way back, almost dying on the way!"

The refugee cried and said to Lin Rang: "Thank you for saving me. It's getting late now. I think you are traveling. If you send me to Zhaoliang, you will just stop by my dormitory for the night." One night, okay?"

When Wei Man heard this, the old man must have wanted to ride with them and enter the city on the strength of his horse-drawn carriage. Judging by his appearance and shabby clothes, even if he was doing business, it was designated as a small business for ordinary people, and it was not worth anything.

Besides, his identity is unknown, what if he is a secret agent who wants to sneak in?

Wei Man was already suspicious, so when encountering such a thing, it was inevitable that he would think more.

But the sun had already set, and they had given up all their rations, and it would be difficult if they couldn't find a place to sleep.

Wei Man squinted his eyes and thought, anyway, an old man, if he is stubborn behind his back, can he be faster than his own sword?

Wei Man smiled kindly, and said half-truthfully, "Old man, why do you say that? We are all on the same road, so please get in the car."

Wei Su disliked the dirty smell of the old man. Although Wei Man agreed, he was very wary and refused to help the old man into the car. Lin Rang helped the old man into the car himself.

There was a small gap on the way, but soon everyone was on the road again, rushing into Zhao Liang at full speed.

The horse-drawn carriage drove along, following the instructions of the poor old man, entered Zhaoliang and drove diagonally all the way, as if it was going to a remote place.

Wei Su couldn't help complaining again, thinking that the old man must live in the deep mountains and old forests.

The poor old man held Lin Rang's hand, and said gratefully, "Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I would be dead right now. When I get to the dorm, I will definitely give you a generous gift to repay my great kindness!"

Wei Su sarcastically said with disdain: "You old man, you have a few sons in your family, and you are generous with gifts, and you are not afraid to flash your tongue when you say some shit with a shy face..."

Tongue...

Wei Su hadn't finished speaking when the servant driving the carriage suddenly said, "Master, Master, we're here!"

"Whoa-"

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and everyone could only see a high courtyard of the Zhumen in front of them, and two towering palaces stood in front of the gate, with a magnificent momentum, reaching straight to the sky.

A large plaque was hung on the door, and a letter was written - Fei's house.

Before Wei Su could finish his words, they had already reached the root of his tongue, Fei Zhai? !

Judging by the size of the land, how could Zhao Liang have such a magnificent Fei residence?Wasn't it the mansion of Fei Xu, the number one richest man in Zhao Liang, whom he was talking about on the road, whose family had a mountain of money and a granary overflowing, and whose money would never be spent in a few lifetimes?

Wei Man's expression turned back, he was surprised in his heart, but his face was very calm, he cupped his hands and said to the old man, "So it's Lao Fei."

The poor old man staggered down from the carriage, smiled back at Wei Man, and said, "Captain Wei, don't dare to act."

When Wei Man heard that he hadn't declared his family name yet, the old man already knew his name, so he couldn't help but become more energetic in his heart, not daring to relax.

Everyone present was dumbfounded, but Lin Rang didn't feel much about it. No matter whether the old man was a poor refugee or a wealthy Zhao Liang, in fact, in Lin Rang's eyes, he was a patient.

After the "poor" Fei Lao saluted Wei Man, he pointed to the magnificent mansion and said to Lin Rang very kindly: "Although my family is very poor, but the old man keeps his word, and the grace of saving life will be treated generously. It’s an old man who can afford it, you just have to ask.”
