Chapter 139

The journey was a bit long, and the man babbled on a lot of things along the way, probably because he was usually bored and had nothing to say.Changsheng listened quietly, occasionally answering a sentence.

The other party seemed to have noticed that he was a little talkative, and said with some embarrassment: "I usually don't talk much, but today I quarreled with my wife before going out, and I feel a little aggrieved."

"What's the name of the eldest brother?" Chang Sheng asked with a smile.

The strong man said flattered, "Li Dashu is the big tree of the big tree. When my mother gave birth to me, she hoped that I would grow as strong as the big tree."

"It seems to have come true." Chang Sheng praised: "Your mother has the foresight."

"Hey, my mother is always accurate in speaking." Li Dashu smiled honestly.

Seeing that they were outside the mansion, Li Dashu carried the burden and walked in with Changsheng.

It was the first time for Li Dashu to come to such a place, he looked a little cautious, and his breathing became lighter.

"Is the situation in Yu County very bad?" Chang Sheng finally asked what he wanted to ask along the way.

"Ah?" Li Dashu was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and said in a depressed mood: "When I left the village in the morning, I heard that two old people in the village jumped into the river to save food."

When Chang Sheng heard the news, his chest felt tight, and he didn't speak for a long time.

It is not uncommon for people to die of starvation during famine years, but it is still a bit embarrassing to hear about it for the first time.

Changsheng adjusted his mood and said, "If Mr. Xue can open a warehouse to release grain, can the villagers survive this winter?"

Li Dashu looked at Changsheng suddenly, let go of his hand, and the bamboo basket fell to the ground with a bang, and stammered, "What... what do you mean?"

"If the situation has become so serious, it is imperative to open a warehouse to release grain." Changsheng said to himself: "Xue Guang has to be willing if he doesn't want to. There is no time to quarrel with him now."

Li Dashu was dumbfounded when he heard that, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Chang Sheng looked up and saw someone standing not far away looking at her, she called a servant to settle the money for Li Dashu.

"I...I don't want the money anymore!" Li Dashu shook his head repeatedly when he saw the money bag, and asked nervously: "Maybe what the young master said just now may come true?"

Chang Sheng grabbed the money bag from the servant's hand, stuffed it into Li Dashu's hand, thought for a while and said, "I have two things to tell you."

Zhou Chen looked at what Chang Sheng was saying seriously from a distance, and the man listened nervously and seriously, nodding repeatedly.

The two of them talked for about half a quarter before Li Dashu went out carrying the burden.

He had just gone out for a while when he was dragged into a corner by two plainclothes officers.

"What did that person tell you just now?" An officer flashed his token.

Li Dashu's face changed with fright, and he said quickly: "I bought my wild game, and told me to bring it over after hunting. It's nothing, this... this is the money that young master gave me."

Li Dashu quickly took out the silver.

The other party said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Really?"

"That's all." Li Dashu became anxious immediately, "Master, if you don't believe me, go ask that young master, the villain didn't do anything bad, the wild game was grown in the mountains by himself, and he didn't steal or snatch it."

"All right, all right, stop talking nonsense." The official said impatiently: "We are not allowed to tell anyone about what we asked for you, and every time we deliver something to that family in the future, we will honestly report something. "

Li Dashu nodded again and again, "Okay, I'm an official."

"Okay, let's go." The official servant got impatient with Li Dashu and went back to deal with the business.

……

Zhou Chen came over and held her hand. "What are you going to do?"

Changsheng smiled mysteriously, "Give Xue Guang a big gift."

"Forcing him to open a warehouse for food relief?" Zhou Chen squeezed her hand gently, making him feel a little distracted.

Chang Sheng stared at him and asked, "Zhou Chen, do you have clairvoyant ears? You can hear me from such a distance."

Zhou Chen understood lip language, and when Changsheng was talking to Li Dashu just now, he was facing him, and he stared at him.

"This matter needs to be well planned." Zhou Chen pulled her along and said, "Discuss it with me, and I'll ask someone to cooperate with you. You asked Li Dashu to come here every now and then to save his life. It's just He looks like a rough guy at first glance, I'm afraid he will be hated because of his wealth."

Yu County is not well-known, but Li Dashu was able to bring back so much money and a source of food.If this gets out, it may cause a lot of trouble for no reason.

Money is the root of all evil.

Chang Sheng frowned suddenly, "I think there is one layer missing, and I will tell him about this when he comes next time."

……

There are about 5000 people affected by the disaster in Wushan County, with an average of six people per household. Calculated in this way, there are about three to four hundred households.

These people were basically concentrated in Feng County and Yu County. Early the next morning, as soon as the guards opened the gate, they saw a long queue outside the gate.

There are boys in their teens, strong men in their [-]s and [-]s, women and unmarried girls.

Everyone was quiet, and they lined up with rice filling tools in their hands.

The guards of the city gate were shocked immediately, and shouted angrily: "Are you trying to rebel! What are you all gathering here for!"

"Officer, we heard that Mr. Xue is going to open a warehouse to release food, so we waited here early in the morning." The person standing in the front smiled flatteringly: "We are all representatives, and one person from the family will come to lead Food, don't cause trouble to Mr. Xue."

"Yes, Mr. Xue is really kind-hearted."

"Where is Master Qingtian?"

"Master Xue is the parent officer."

The voices one after another were all praising Xue Guang, which made the defenders of the city doubtful.

"Could it be that Mr. Xue wants to release food?" A person asked in a low voice.

The other person couldn't hold back, "Who knows, maybe Mr. Xue really wants to do good things, we can't ruin his good deeds, let them in. Send someone to watch, so that nothing happens."

Master Xue just dealt with two city defenders a while ago, and now they can't touch his bad luck.

"Okay, you go in one by one, and you are not allowed to wander around after entering the city." The city guard said loudly.

More than a hundred people filed in, all in an orderly manner, with hopeful smiles on their faces.

Wu Lingyun, who was watching from a distance, felt relieved when he saw that they had been let go.

……

There are children singing a song all over the city.

"Master Xue is the official of the parents. He is the master for the people, like Qingtian. Opening a warehouse to release food to save the people is a bodhisattva with a good heart."

This song was sung by the children early in the morning, and everyone scrambled to sing it first.

When this word spread to Xue Guang, he was so angry that he dropped his glass, and said angrily: "You bastard, when did I say that I would open a storehouse for disaster relief! The money issued by the court was embezzled by Jia Lian, where did I come from?" Money to buy food!"
