Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 105
There was a small crack in the wooden railing, and Li Maohe stepped over it quickly.When the victims behind saw him go in, they became emotional again.

"Officer, if you go in, you're going to go in if you go in, and you're going to go in if you go in, so let me go in!"

The soldier drew out his knife again, and the shining blade made the victims back away in fright.

"This is a master scholar, not an ordinary person. Is he a farmer like you?"

Li Maohe looked behind and saw the woman and the couple holding the child looking at him expectantly.These people outside are all local people, some of them are his fellow countrymen.

He wanted to do something, he murmured his lips a few times, and he was cruel, but he still didn't speak.

How good would it be if he interceded for these victims and even he couldn't enter the city gate?
At his age, he has been hungry for two days, and he really can't go hungry anymore.

He lowered his head in shame, followed a guard into the city gate, and walked towards the county government.

Not far away, Chen Wenxin and Chen Wenyi watched this scene with mixed feelings.

The old man did the right thing, he had the status of a humble and privileged class, but it was too humble.

Wei Mo saved himself, but he couldn't save others.

Everyone is insignificant in the face of death.

The soldiers guarding the city gate began to scare the victims again, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't make trouble here. No one will bother you if you make trouble for three days and three nights. If you have this time, you might as well go to a nearby county to find a way out."

It's easy to say, Muyang County, which is the closest to the local area, will take a day or two to get there by walking on two legs.

These victims are already starving, and I am afraid that they will starve to death on the way if they cannot reach Muyang County.

"What are these so-called local parents and officials doing? Are they too busy flattering and flattering the emperor to take care of these disaster victims?"

Chen Wenxin was indignant, and when he thought of the faces of those adults, he became very angry.

It seems that the emperor personally came to supervise He Gong, but it was a mistake.Even if the flood defenses can be repaired, the people here will starve to death.

Chen Wenyi seemed to have seen through her thoughts, turned her body around, and said solemnly to her: "The emperor is not wrong."

The emperor can be wrong, but they can't think he is wrong.

Right is also right, wrong is also right, the emperor is always right.

Chen Wenxin looked at him with a serious look, like a deflated ball, "Why do you say he was wrong."

Even if the emperor's move is really not beneficial to the people, at least his intentions are good, how can he be blamed?

"what!"

A woman's scream came from the city gate, and a wound was cut on the shoulder of the woman holding the child.

Blood flowed from her torn clothes, turning half of her body red all of a sudden.

Seeing that the woman had been trying to squeeze in, the soldier impatiently threatened her with a knife.

Unexpectedly, the woman thought that the knife was about to cut at the child in her arms, so she quickly turned sideways to block it, and her shoulder was cut open.

She fell limp and fell to the ground, still protecting her child in her arms.

Most of the crowd retreated at once, and no one dared to move forward, for fear that the soldiers would become angry and kill them.

Seeing that this trick can scare the people away, the soldiers simply used the injured woman as a raft, "If you don't leave, you will end up with her!"

As he spoke, he gestured at the woman with a knife in his hand.

The woman's husband also retreated to the back like other disaster victims, and she was the only one who fell on the open space in front.

She held the child tightly in both hands, unable to free one hand to cover the wound.

She tightly protected the child under her body, and turned to look at her husband.

Seeing his terrified appearance hiding far away, a sad smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She suddenly felt that the soldiers and the sword were not so scary anymore.

Living is really tiring. If it wasn't for the child, she would rather die.

Let the soldiers kill her. She doesn't ask her husband to pick up her bones, but only asks him to raise the children well.

No, she couldn't die. If she died, how could this heartless husband take good care of her children?
Seeing that the knife was about to be swung in her face, she couldn't dodge it. At this moment, a cold female voice suddenly sounded.

"stop!"

I saw a noble woman in elegant clothes, as beautiful as a fairy, walking towards them step by step.

"In broad daylight, the world is clear, which law has this woman violated, allowing you to use weapons to hurt people?"

Injuring someone with a weapon is a serious crime, so the soldiers naturally didn't dare to accept such a crime, and hurriedly said loudly: "The city is under martial law, where did you come from, and you dare to run here to meddle in your master's business?"

When people have a guilty conscience, they subconsciously speak loudly, just to cover up their mistakes and embolden themselves.

Chen Wenyi jumped up, drew his sword and stepped forward, and knocked out the knife in his hand with just one move, and the blade of the sword touched the opponent's throat.

All the troops stationed at the city gate became tense. This person is so strong in martial arts that he openly attacked the soldiers. Who could he be?

The garrison who was stuck at the throat seemed to be a small boss, and he hurriedly shouted: "The hero, spare your life, spare your life! Save me quickly!"

The blade is only half a minute away from his skin, who can save him?
Chen Wenyi snorted coldly, "You can't speak human words, why don't I cut it off for you."

Only then did the soldiers realize that Chen Wenyi made a sudden move because he had offended the woman beside him just now.

He hurriedly said to Chen Wenxin: "Young lady, please forgive me, I was the one who had a foul mouth just now, please speak up for me!"

He made up his mind that as soon as the sword was put down, he would let all the soldiers behind him come forward and kill the man holding the sword.

Why didn't Chen Wenxin know about his little tricks? Judging from his expression, it didn't look like he was sincerely begging for mercy.

She glanced at him disdainfully, and said to the soldiers who were following behind, hidden in the dark: "Aren't Lu Zong and the others here yet?"

As soon as the words were finished, footsteps sounded in the distance. Lu Zong ran quickly with Xiao Lizi and Bai Lu, followed by the two guards who were patrolling just now.

"lady."

Lu Zong stepped forward and bowed to her, seeing Chen Wenyi holding a sword against the throat of a soldier, he took a step back in fright.

She glanced at the two guards following behind, who were staring at the soldiers guarding the city gate and wiping their necks.

Seeing her gaze cast over, the two guards froze for an instant.

"Mr. Lu was afraid that the two of them would report the letter and interfere with Madam's business, so he simply brought it."

Bai Lu stepped forward and whispered in Chen Wenxin's ear, and said, "I have asked you clearly, the order of martial law was issued by the governor of Suzhou."

"Now there is only one acting county magistrate in the city who can't speak, and the other officials have followed the emperor to patrol the river."

It seems that Lu Zong revealed his identity and restrained the two servants.

He was judged by the left court of the third-rank Taitai Hospital, and in a small place like Suqian, it was considered rare to see him.

A small soldier standing in a corner among the city gate guards stared at Chen Wenyi who was holding a sword.

Just now the two guards gave them winks, which means that these people can't afford to offend them.

At first he thought Chen Wenyi looked familiar, and he thought that a handsome man would make people have a natural affinity for him.

Looking closely now, it seems that I have actually seen it...

Pfft!
There was a dull thump as his knees fell to the mud.The little soldier fell on the ground, not caring about getting dirty, and bowed to Chen Wenyi: "General Chen!"

He quickly looked at the troops stationed beside him again, "That's General Chen... yes, General Chen who hung upside down on the Yellow River to save people!"

With the sword pointed at his throat, the little leader of the soldiers stared wide-eyed.

He heard the knocking of knees of the soldiers behind him and those victims kneeling together.

General Chen, the General Chen who came with the emperor, is the brother of the current concubine Qin.

Then, the beautiful woman next to him who looks similar to him, could it be——
He lay limp on the ground, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't even say a word.

Qin concubine empress, smelly girl.

He even called his mother a stinky girl.

He looked up at the sky above the city wall. This is the last time he saw the sun...

Seeing him lying on the ground, Chen Wenyi didn't care about him, so he hurriedly asked Lu Zong to treat the woman's wound.

The wooden fence was heavy and spiked, so Lu Zong couldn't get out by himself.

If the soldiers were asked to remove the wooden fence, the disaster victims outside might rush in.At that time, in the chaos, it will inevitably cause danger.

Chen Wenxin called the officers of the two yamen to come forward and asked, "Is there a relief place in the city, or a place where we can build a temporary hut?"

The guard looked distressed, and he stammered: "Yes, there is a relief hall, which was originally for orphans, widows and old people."

Chen Wenxin nodded, she walked to the wooden fence, and said to the victims kneeling on the ground: "Excuse me, please listen to me."

Everyone didn't know her identity, they only knew that she should be a noble person, otherwise why would those soldiers kneel down?
It is always right for them to follow kneeling.

Hearing this, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, they all supported each other and stood up.

"There are fathers, sons and brothers in the city. If relatives and friends can vote, stand on the left."

She waved her hand to the left, and many of the victims rushed to the left.

"No one can vote. If you need government relief, please stand on the right. It is easy to check the number of people and distribute supplies."

The common people thought that only relatives and friends who could be taken in could enter the city, so most of them stood on the left side.

Hearing what she said, it turns out that there are materials that no one can vote for and are distributed to them.

So the victims who were originally standing on the left side obediently stood back on the right side.

In this way, the number of people on the left and right is basically equal.

The husband of the woman who was injured and fell to the ground also ran from right to left and from left to right in the crowd, without paying any attention to his immobile wife.

The woman struggled to get up and stand to the right, but she lost blood and was unable to stand up due to lack of strength.

Bai Lu approached and called her through the wooden fence, "Don't move, don't worry."

Her tone was kind, and when she told the woman to move, she glanced at the wound on the woman's shoulder.

The woman understood what she meant, but she was afraid that moving would make the wound bleed more, so she gave her a grateful look.

"Soldiers are divided into two squads, one squad continues to defend the city, and the other squad leads the victims who have nowhere to go to the relief hall."

She glanced at the little leader of the army who was limp on the ground, and Xiao Lizi stepped forward and kicked him knowingly, "Your Majesty gave you a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, why don't you thank me quickly?"

As soon as the man heard the words "dai sin and meritorious deeds", he quickly got up from the ground and knelt down, kowtowed continuously, "Thank you, my lady, thank you, my lady."

He thought he was doomed this time, and if he could take the blame and make meritorious service, even if he was asked to go up the mountain of swords and down the pan of oil, he would have to do it!

What's more, it's just letting the victims into the city.

The superior will not blame him, even if the superior is here now, it will not be able to stop the mother's will!

The heavy wooden railing was pulled open by the soldiers, and Lu Zong stepped forward first, took out a ginseng nourishing pill from his purse and put it into the woman's mouth.

A soldier was afraid that Lu Zong's ugly face would frighten the woman, so he hurriedly explained: "This is the doctor Lu, don't be afraid. This medicine is for your strength."

Lu Zong glared at him, and he quickly fell silent.

The woman thanked weakly, and the two soldiers picked up the injured woman and held the child for her.

This is a good boy, and he didn't cry even after making such a fuss today.

Lu Zong didn't take a carriage when he came out today, and he didn't carry a medicine box. At this moment, it's hard for a clever woman to survive without rice, so I can only send this woman to the clinic or take her back to another hospital for treatment.

Chen Wenxin, guarded by Chen Wenyi and soldiers, stood in the middle.

The wooden fence was stretched, and the victims walked in from both sides according to the left and right positions that had been divided just now, for fear of bumping into the nobles.

The people on the left entered the city and scattered in twos and threes to find their relatives and friends.

The people on the right were taken to the relief hall by the separated group of soldiers.

Seeing that the people had entered the city, Chen Wenxin turned around.

"Take me to your county office."

Chen Wenxin smiled faintly at the two guards.
