These refugees have experienced countless life and death in just a few days. A happy family and a peaceful life seem to be in vain. Only the pain at this moment is eternal.

The hearts of the refugees have been completely numb. Even if their parents die in front of them, they can't make them feel a little bit, let alone the dog official who caused them so far?

The red and white brains of the dog official fell on the steps,

The refugees all want to drink porridge.

"Sir!!!" Song Zan heard Mu Yuandao's cry of pain, and followed out. Seeing the scene in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, and then he burst into grief and cried out.

Regardless of Mu Yuandao's status as an official, as a student of Duke Longmen, he has always taken good care of Song Zan, and Song Zan owed him a lot of favors.

If you don't discuss how well he is an official, as a gentleman, Mu Yuandao must be qualified.

Song Zan lay on Mu Yuandao and cried loudly,

Xia Yuanji followed, his eyes were full of complicated expressions. For Xia Yuanji, an unknown junior, Mu Yuandao was willing to help him, and indeed he was very kind to Xia Yuanji.

Therefore, Xia Yuanji was very grateful to Mu Yuandao, and was also extremely sad at the moment.

"This..." Ma Sanbao's eyes widened. He didn't expect Mu Yuandao to be so strong. He turned to look at Liu Xiu, "Master..."

Liu Xiu frowned slightly, feeling nothing in her heart, even if Liu Xiu forced Mu Yuandao to death, Liu Xiu would admit it, but Liu Xiu didn't regret it at all.

Think about Mu Yuandao, as the magistrate of Anqing Prefecture, if he wants to report the affairs of the Lu family to His Majesty, it is a matter of moving his fingers.

The Lu family relied on the Crown Princess, not Lao Zhu, nor Xiao Zhu, so how could they stop the fourth-rank officials from directly writing letters to His Majesty?

No matter how rampant the Lu family was, they would not dare to assassinate a fourth-rank official, so if Mu Yuandao wanted to submit a letter, the Lu family would have nothing to do with him.

However, Mu Yuandao didn't do anything, even though he had countless chances,

It can be said that Mu Yuandao contributed a lot to today's situation.

Would Liu Xiu feel sorry for such a person?

Even if Mu Yuandao is a good student, good teacher, and good senior, so what?

There are no absolute villains in this world.

The murderous bandit may be a pure and filial person,

A wicked official may love his children very much...

According to the laws of all dynasties, these sinners deserve to die,

But for their mothers and their children, they are good people,

Humans are multi-faceted and complex. They are bad for some and good for others.

Liu Xiu is not a Buddha, and he doesn't have the skill to love so many people at the same time. He chose the common people, so he would not hesitate to deal with Mu Yuandao and the Lu family.

This is Liu Xiu's way, but he wants to do things without fear of getting dirty!

"Get a coffin and bury him." Liu Xiu said,

"Yes, sir."

Ma Sanbao bypassed the steps covered with red and white things, and jumped down in one step.

"Song Daru... Let's bury Zhifu quickly."

Although Song Zan was extremely distressed, he still had a sense of reason and nodded. Ma Sanbao took a look at Liu Xiu and went to the coffin shop to prepare the coffin.

After a while, Ma Sanbao ran over with two young servants carrying the coffin. Ma Sanbao thought that the Anqing Mansion was like this, and the supply of coffins must be in short supply.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he went to the coffin shop, the boss held Ma Sanbao's hand as if he saw his own father, and would not let go.

The owner of the coffin shop, which hadn't opened for a long time, sold Ma Sanbao a rosewood coffin. Although this coffin was not worthy of the status of a fourth-rank official, it was enough.

Song Zan didn't look at Liu Xiu the whole time, but all he could think about was what Liu Xiu had just said. This great Confucianist was completely confused.

What Liu Xiu said was his own way of being an official, but why was he contrasting with Song Zan, Song Zan had a lot of talent, but he didn't become an official for a long time. What's the difference between this and Mu Yuandao?

Is he really worthy of the word Great Confucianism?

Ma Sanbao didn't mind getting his hands dirty, and carried Mu Yuandao into the coffin. Seeing that his head was so broken that he couldn't put it in, he couldn't help but look at the two boys in the coffin shop.

"If you don't leave the whole body, according to Zoroastrianism, you can't die. Do you have any solution?"

The young man was obviously very experienced and quickly said, "As long as there is a portrait, our shopkeeper can carve a rosewood head for him, and the engraving is very close to ten, but the price..."

Ma Sanbao was overjoyed, and immediately took out two gold ingots from his bosom, and clapped them in the servant's hands, "Money is not a problem."

The little servant trembled, they usually collect copper coins, how have they ever seen such pure big gold ingots, excitedly said,

"Yes, sir, don't worry, we will definitely do this well!"

Xia Yuanji was beside Liu Xiu, and said, "Brother Liu, I'll also go see off Prefect Mu."

Liu Xiu nodded, and Ma Sanbao, Song Zan, and Xia Yuanji left.

Liu Xiu sighed inwardly. I'm afraid this incident completely offended Song Zan, but looking at the refugees in front of her, Liu Xiu really didn't have time to think about other things.

"When can we have porridge?"

"That's right! You said it's for the porridge, and you just let us wait here?!"

"Damn, I'm going to starve to death here, if I don't have porridge today, I won't leave!"

"You motherfuckers are in a hurry, this master can still be short of your porridge, whoever dares to pierce him, I will abolish him!"

"A bunch of ignorant dogs, Mr. Liu saved you and forgot?!"

Upon hearing this voice, it was Lu Haomiao, the one-eyed dragon.

The refugees quarreled again, some praised Liu Xiu, some slandered, and some directly abused Liu Xiu, in short, the various states of life were all in sight.

The reality is like this, Liu Xiu saved their lives, they may not take advantage of Liu Xiu's favor, and even rely on Liu Xiu in the future, no one is willing to do such a thankless thing,

But Liu Xiu still did it,

Not only does he not hesitate to slander him, not only does he not hesitate to slander him from officials, but he is also not afraid of the slander from the people.

I just want to be worthy of my heart.

.........

The news of Mu Yuandao's death by bumping into a step spread across the entire Anqing Mansion in an instant. All the officials were completely panicked, and one after another, the grain carriages were delivered to Liu Xiu's porridge shed.

Even the Lu family sent ten carts of food along with them, and since Mu Yuandao died, the Anqing mansion's affairs could not be concealed, so the Lu family must have done something to make up for it.

The refugees stared at the grain cart passing by with green eyes. If it weren't for the heavily armed government soldiers guarding here, relying on Liu Xiu's prestige would definitely be useless.

Everyone was so hungry that they would do anything for food.

Liu Xiu ordered a few people who knew how to cook from the soldiers, and began to cook porridge non-stop. Liu Xiu was not stingy with the ingredients, and threw a lot of vegetables into the porridge directly.

However, when the cook wanted to cut a large piece of meat, he was stopped by Liu Xiu. It wasn't that Liu Xiu was reluctant, it was just that these hungry people couldn't eat enough, and their intestines and stomachs had problems.

The smell of porridge came from the shed, and the eyes of the refugees were completely green. Even before the disaster, they had never smelled such delicious porridge!

Chapter 221 They Are Here, Daming Is Here

While the first big pot of porridge was cooking, Ma Sanbao and the others turned back. To Liu Xiu's surprise, Song Zan and Xia Yuanji also came back after Ma Sanbao.

Ma Sanbao said, "My lord, let the coffin shop do the work. They also know Feng Shui, so they will definitely make this thing beautiful."

Liu Xiu nodded, not knowing what to say for a while, the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

It was Song Zan who spoke first, "Liu Xiu, my mind was messed up just now, and now I've sorted it out."

Liu Xiu gave a long bow, "Liu Xiu is ashamed of sir."

Song Zan's eyes turned red immediately, he stepped forward to help Liu Xiu, shook his head and said, "I'm not an unreasonable person, this is my own choice, and it can be regarded as an apology for the refugees in Anqing Mansion...Liu Xiu, do you know me? How did father die?"

Liu Xiu didn't understand why Song Zan mentioned this suddenly, but he still said, "Mr. Longmen was implicated in the case of Hu Weiyong, was demoted by His Majesty, and died in depression..."

Song Zan nodded and sighed, "That's why I'm afraid of being an official... Father's incident has affected too many people. I didn't mean to talk nonsense. When I was young, my husband was also full of enthusiasm. He once said in front of my father that he wanted to be an official. The best official in Ming Dynasty."

"But after my father was involved in the case of Hu Weiyong, my husband completely changed. He became indifferent to political affairs and put all his mind on serving the country. Why didn't I paralyze myself like this?"

Liu Xiu's heart was greatly moved when he heard the words, Mu Yuandao, such a tired and mediocre official, used to be inspired to be a good official?

Of course, Liu Xiu didn't know about such a secret, and Liu Xiu couldn't help thinking of a sentence from later generations,

The warrior who slayed the dragon looked at the jewels in the dragon cave, and horns began to grow on his body.

Good guys and bad guys, who can tell?

Song Zan lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and when he raised his head again, there was no hesitation in his eyes, full of the firm demeanor that a great Confucian should have,

"Liu Xiu, if you act like this, the common people will not remember you, and the officials will not remember you. Perhaps in the end, His Majesty will not keep you. Hehe, this is the path you chose."

Liu Xiu opened her mouth, not knowing what to say,

Because Song Zan was right.

The affairs of the Anqing Mansion are completely unstoppable. Sitting in the position of Lao Zhu, will he protect the Crown Princess or Liu Xiu?

The answer is self-evident.

Ma Sanbao is also a clever person, he figured out this point in a flash, but his eyes were more determined,

I will definitely advance and retreat with the master! ! !

Song Zan looked at Liu Xiu with a smile in his eyes, "The way to be an official is to not hesitate to disgrace yourself. How can you be inferior to the students? This matter, I am in the game!"

Xia Yuanji bowed to Liu Xiu, stood up and said solemnly, "Little brother is the first to look after Brother Liu."

Liu Xiu patted Xia Yuanji on the shoulder, and laughed and cursed, "Don't make such a mess, talk like a human!"

Xia Yuanji grinned,

"Damn! If you lose your life, count me in!!!"

Seeing Song Zan and Xia Yuanji express their feelings one after another, a warm current flowed through Liu Xiu's heart,

Daming had mediocre officials like Mu Yuandao and corrupt officials like Guo Heng,

But there are also good people like Liu Xiu, Song Zan, and Xia Yuanji who fight for the interests of the people!

It is precisely because of this group of people who have fought one after another and are willing to die,

Daming is here!
