back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 360 Help people to the end

"Isn't that bad?" the old man said in a grunt upon hearing the words.Lu Chengqi was also strong, and ordered to the imperial guard behind him: "You just scared him, and punished you to hug that child!"

The imperial guard cupped his hands without hesitation, walked over and picked up the little boy.The old man was taken aback, and the little boy refused, struggling desperately, wiping the imperial guard's face with his dirty little hands.Due to the face of the little emperor, the imperial guard didn't even dodge and let the little boy slap him.

Lu Chengqi said gently: "Old man, don't be afraid. My son came up with this idea when he saw your grandson's foot was injured."

The old man seemed to have resigned himself to his fate. Lu Chengqi was dressed luxuriously, and it seemed that he was not something he could afford.Even if it was a rich family trying to play tricks on them, they could only accept it.No way, this is the fate of the poor.Either explode in silence, or die in silence.

Lu Chengqi asked the little eunuch to support the old beggar, and walked to the foot shop in Chang'an City.It's just that along the way, when the people in Chang'an City saw such a weird combination, they all stopped and pointed.This made the little eunuch and the imperial guards feel ashamed, but Lu Chengqi faced it with his head held high, without any sense of embarrassment.

Fortunately, there are many noodle shops in Chang'an City, and I found one after a while.At this time, the sun has moved westward, and in the afternoon, there are not many diners in the foot shop.The waiter in the shop was also a little surprised, seeing a lot of people traveling all over the world, this is the first time I saw such a weird combination.However, it should be a trick of the rich man, and the waiter also took it for granted.

Seeing the waiter in the shop looking thoughtful, Lu Chengqi didn't wait for him to come to play, and said directly: "Two bowls of Yangchun noodles!"

The shop clerk came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Okay, the guest officer will wait for a moment..." But he thought disdainfully in his heart: "It looks like he is a rich man, why are you so stingy!" The entourages all carried knives, so they didn't dare to think too much, so they hurried to the next article.

Not long after, two bowls of hot Yangchun noodles were served.I don't know if the waiter in the shop did it on purpose or not, but put two bowls of Yangchun noodles in front of Lu Chengqi who was sitting at the table.Lu Chengqi frowned and said nothing.Gently pushed the Yangchun noodles in front of the grandpa and grandson, and said gently: "Eat!"

The old beggar was hesitant, but the little boy seemed to be extremely hungry, seeing such fragrant Yangchun noodles, how could he bear it?It's just that he doesn't seem to know how to use chopsticks, and he looks like he wants to eat but can't do it.

Seeing this, Lu Chengqi asked the waiter to bring two spoons, put them into a bowl, and made a little demonstration.The little boy was clever, he learned it with just one glance, picked up the spoon and started eating.

Seeing this, the old man said: "Thank you, officer!" He also started to eat.

In less than a moment, a large bowl of Yangchun noodles entered the stomach of the grandpa and grandson.Seeing that they were still interested, Lu Chengqi asked the waiter to bring two more bowls of Yangchun noodles.As a result, in less than a quarter of an hour, the two bowls of Yangchun noodles were swept away again.It just made the tabletop dripping with soup, which is not very elegant.

Seeing that they had finished eating again, Lu Chengqi asked, "Do you want more?"

The old beggar was dripping with gratitude, and he got up and bowed: "The officials are so kind and virtuous, the little old man has nothing to repay, but kowtow!"

Lu Chengqi quickly helped him up, and said: "You don't have to be like this, my son, I just want you to answer a few questions."

The old beggar said: "If the officials have any questions, the little old man will definitely answer them truthfully."

"From your accent, you should be from Henan Road. Why do you go to Chang'an City to beg for a living?" Lu Chengqi asked puzzled.

The old beggar sighed: "There was a flood at home in the old year, and the little old man's family of six fled to Chang'an. It was just that they lacked food and clothing. The boy's father and the little old man's wives all went. The rest of the boy His mother and a granddaughter are in a ruined temple outside the city."

Lu Chengqi asked puzzledly: "But the imperial court has already issued an order to give the refugees home travel expenses, and even return the original fields one by one. Why don't you go home?"

The old beggar sighed: "At first, there was no land at home, and without the child's father, it would be impossible to farm land for the village master, so what can we do when we return home?"

Lu Chengqi fell silent, and the imperial guards and personal eunuchs who heard this were also silent.They also know about the poor.It's just that this kind of tragedy in the world is not surprising. They lament the impermanence of the world at most, and forget it in a blink of an eye.But when Lu Chengqi saw it, he really didn't expect that there were such miserable people, and he immediately fidgeted.

After a long time, Lu Chengqi said: "Old man, I have a place to go, I wonder if you would like to do something for me?" Lu Chengqi knew that no matter how poor a person is, he has self-esteem, and he knows how to repay favors.When he said that, the old beggar probably wouldn't shirk it.

Sure enough, the old beggar hesitated for a moment, and said: "If the official wants to help, the little old man will definitely help. It's just that the little old man is old and frail, so I don't know what he can help the official."

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "I have a yard with no one to take care of the flowers and plants. I want the old man to help me take care of it. The salary is the same every month. I don't know what the old man wants?"

The old beggar couldn't believe his ears, such a good thing, wouldn't it be pie in the sky!The old beggar burst into tears, and when he was about to kneel down again, he was stopped by Lu Chengqi, who had quick eyes and quick hands.The old beggar choked with sobs and said, "The official is a good person..."

After supporting the old beggar and letting him sit down again, Lu Chengqi noticed that the little boy hesitated to speak.Lu Chengqi patted his head with a smile, and asked softly: "Little friend, what do you want to say?"

What Lu Chengqi didn't expect was that the little boy knelt down and smacked Lu Chengqi's head three times with a "boom, dong, dong".After signaling to the little eunuch to pull up the little boy, Lu Chengqi asked in puzzlement, "Little friend, why do you kowtow to me?"

The little boy seemed to be struggling mentally, and after a while he mustered up the courage to say: "Guardian, you are such a good person, please save my mother!"

Lu Chengqi was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked, "What's wrong with your mother?"

The little boy said: "My mother is sick and has no money to buy medicine."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengqi said to the old beggar, "Where is the patient?"

The old beggar sighed: "Officer, you have helped us so much, how dare you..."

Lu Chengqi ignored him, since he decided to help others, he must help to the end, and continued to ask: "Where is the patient?"

The old beggar hesitated for a while, and then said: "Three miles outside the city, in a ruined temple. My granddaughter is taking care of..."

Lu Chengqi immediately said to one of the imperial guards: "You go to the imperial hospital now, and ask the doctor to see the patient."

The imperial guards did not dare to resist the order, and ran to Chang'an City Tai Hospital with their hands held together.And not long after the imperial guard left, another imperial guard quietly filled his vacancy.Lu Chengqi thought about it, now that it's at this point, it doesn't make sense not to take a look.After paying the bill, let the imperial guards pick up the little boy, and the little eunuch next to him helped the old beggar, and the group went out of the city. He wanted to see with his own eyes how the doctor of the imperial hospital treated the patients.He knew that even if the doctor saw a doctor, it would be a waste of work if he didn't have money to buy medicine.
