Great Ye Empress

Chapter 173 Disappointment
Xie Yunchu nodded, looked up and asked Qingfeng, "Where's Master?"

"Master is reading a book."

Xie Yunchu folded his uncle's letter, got up and said, "I'm going to see Master."

·
Ji Jingci looked at the apprentice who took the initiative to find him, put the book aside, picked up the teapot on the red clay stove, and poured a cup of tea for Xie Yunchu.

"So what do you want to do?"

"Liu Lang doesn't know if Master is going to take his brother and Liu Lang to Qinzhou, so I came to ask Master."

Xie Yunchu knelt down opposite Ji Jingci, his eyes were firm and calm: "If Master wants to go to Qinzhou, then Liulang will be collecting books on the people along the way."

"If Master intends to bring the food with Xie's family, he will return to Bianjing, and I will collect the books of the people after the disaster victims are settled."

It is already mid-October, and she will take the exam in February. If she goes to Qinzhou again, she will encounter heavy snow on the way back, and she will be a little nervous to catch the exam.

"So, Rokuro is ready to enter the official position." Ji Jingci smiled and pushed the tea in front of Xie Yunchu.

Xie Yunchu nodded, and Ji Jingci stated his heart directly.

"I don't know if I can help the world at the same time, and I don't know if I can do it... for the heaven and the earth, for the life of the people, for the sages of the past, and for the peace of the world, but I... want Protect the mothers in this world who are willing to give up their lives for their children, and protect the children who are willing to give up their lives for their mothers!"

Thinking of the scene she saw in front of Cairen's shop yesterday, a sour feeling of grief hit her eyes, causing her nose to turn red.

Ji Jingci's hands on his knees tightened slightly, and he lightly grasped the front of his clothes. His body was as straight as a pine and cypress.

In the room where the partitions and window lattices are open, there is only the soft sound of the fine sand falling in the hourglass.

The dazzling noon golden light falls on the table with the shade of the whirling tree, and the floating dust swaying...

Ji Jing pursed his thin lips tightly, and put the teacup in his hand on the table to restrain his emotions.

When Xie Yunchu raised his eyes, he was facing Shang Ji Jingci's eyes as deep as a deep pool of ancient wells.

Seeing that he was looking at her with a warm smile in his eyes, she dodged Ji Jingci's gaze and lowered her head again: "I failed to meet Master's expectations, Rokuro... let Master down."

"Liu Lang did not disappoint the teacher." Ji Jing's voice was soft, "If you are willing to enter the official position, it means that you have taken the first step. The result of this trip is very satisfactory to the teacher."

Xie Yunchu lowered his head even lower.

"So, two days later, we will set off for Bianjing..." Ji Jingci turned to look out the window, "If it doesn't snow, it is estimated that we can arrive in the twelfth lunar month."

After the palace exam, Ji Jingci asked Xie Yunchu to answer his doubts.

As soon as Xie's steward arrived with the food, he arranged for guards with knives to set up a porridge shack on the street under the name of Xie's, and sent people to beat gongs and drums along the street to shout. As long as they were willing to sell themselves as Xie's slaves and go to Qizhou, they could give them a bite. Eat, give a life.

People in the city who were already starving flocked to sign contracts of prostitution.

Some saw that the food that had not yet been cooked was piled there, and they couldn't wait to wait in line to sign the sales contract, and wanted to grab the food...

Xie's excellent guards cut off his head with a knife.

There was that headless corpse lying there to intimidate, and no one dared to snatch the food again, so he obediently lined up to sign a deed of prostitution and received food, and was taken into the yard after devouring it.

In less than three days, the porridge shed continued day and night, and all the people who could still crawl came.

In order to survive, they are willing to become slaves.

But the Xie family only accepts young people and women of childbearing age, and half-old children...

As for the old man, Steward Xie knew that even if he accepted it, he would not be able to hold it all the way to Qizhou, so when Xie Yunchu was still there... he accepted some old people, waiting for Xie Yunchu and Ji Jingci to set off, Xie's People simply don't want old people.

There are also victims who are willing to sell themselves as slaves, but are unwilling to leave their homeland.

·
On the way to Bianjing, Li Nanyu walked and painted, wrote essays and poems, and used pen and ink to record the tragedy of the catastrophe and cannibalism in the 15th year of Yuanfeng.

Every painting of Li Nanyu is a hell on earth...

Vegetable shop, easy to kiss and eat.

Life is like a mustard, and people are like animals.

Every word of Li Nanyu is more than just the number of deaths in the history books, clearly depicting the tragic tragedy of those thousands of victims who starved to death or were eaten.

In addition to completing the daily routine of reading articles, reading poems, writing articles and writing poems in Ji Jingci, Xie Yunchu began to read the laws of Daye.

She saw that in the laws of Daye, there were no provisions forbidding women to participate in the imperial examinations.

This reassured her a little.

There are more than 690 volumes of the Daye Law. Even Xie Yunchu has a photographic memory, and he still doesn't know when he will read it.

However, Xie Yunchu always felt that it would always come in handy to memorize the laws of Great Ye.

In particular, she is now a woman disguised as a man, and he will be an official...

If the body of a daughter is really discovered, she can always find a way of life for her mother and herself within the law.

However, the premise is that you can live to that time.

Li Nanyu looked at Xie Yunchu's assiduous energy now, which was even worse than Gu Xingzhi at the time, and even kept the book in his hands while eating.

Li Nanyu felt very relieved, feeling that his little junior brother finally lived up to the trip that Master took him.

Look, once the little junior brother made up his mind to enter the office, he worked so hard!
He deeply felt that his younger junior brother was trying to find a way for the people to live within the laws of the Great Ye, and he became more and more diligent.

Qing Feng and Xie Yunchu's two top guards had already noticed that someone was following them...

Xie Yunchu didn't let the guards of the Xie family make any moves, but just let them pay attention and figure out how many people were following them.

Ji Jingci also told Qingfeng not to act rashly and to move normally, but be sure to find out how many people were following them.

This night, the inn was not found, and everyone had to rest on the post road for a night.

Ji Jingci, Li Nanyu and Xie Yunchu were sitting by the bonfire, watching the words and paintings Li Nanyu had recorded along the way.

Xie Yunchu felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw it.

During those few days in the county seat, Li Nanyu also went to the house where no one was at home, and saw the miserable appearance of the family in the house starving to death on the bed...

Fortunately, they starved to death earlier, and had already decomposed into mummified corpses, keeping the whole corpse.

In addition to the corpses of adults, there were also children's on the bed.

It is conceivable that the family was so hungry that they lay in bed, panting and panting, waiting to die.

Li Nanyu talked about the scene of the half-year-old child with his hands hanging on the edge of the earthen kang, crying for help and dying without a way to help, the unhappy tears could not be held back.
