Chapter 146: Build a rain altar

Views:

Rong Changan seemed to see what Yan Li was thinking from his staring eyes. She calmly said to Yan Li:

"Don't worry, as long as you're here, no matter whether it's the emperor or the queen mother, they won't do anything to you."

"How do you know?" Yan Li's sharp eyes shot out from his dark eyes, he couldn't believe it, Rong Chang'an was able to predict every time! Could it be that Rong Changan is a witch

Rong Changan's smile was so relaxed that Yan Li felt that as a man, he was ashamed to be inferior to Rong Changan's psychological quality. Rong Chang'an had been in the army for more than ten years, and the delay was not in vain. During the years of conquest, he stayed up at night, the enemy army came to sneak attack, and other people made a fuss, but Rong Changan was still calm and composed, even if the enemy's flying arrows shot into the tent, Rong Changan didn't take it seriously.

"I don't know, I thought about it with my brain." Rong Changan said, "The emperor knows that you are not a threat to him, and you are capable, so how could he be willing to punish you?"

Yan Li listened to Chang'an's analysis like a storyteller telling a story.

"Where is the Queen Mother?"

Rong Changan took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said, "The queen mother will definitely put pressure on the emperor, but I think the emperor will be able to bear it. After all, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, he can fight against the queen mother and has the ability to fight against the queen mother." Only you, Yan Li, will never give up on someone like you."

Suddenly Yan Li's eyes flashed a panic: "Don't talk about it, there are eyes and ears everywhere here, so be careful what you say. I didn't fight against the Queen Mother!"

"Haha," Rong Changan stood up, looking straight into Yan Li's eyes like a prophet, "If you kill the prefect, the queen mother will think that you are deliberately against her! After you return to the court, you should be more careful about the queen mother." Pause After a short meal, he said to everyone, "Everyone is full, it's time to get up!"

This time, it was Yan Li who suggested to investigate the suffering and disasters of the people, and along the way, there was no place that was not shocking. Yan Li's complexion was gloomy, and his dark eyes lacked a gleam of brilliance. He hated himself for not doing enough. He should have confiscated all the property of the wealthy bureaucrats in this state and county and used it to buy food for disaster relief.

Walking to a steamed stuffed bun shop, I saw a woman leading two boys begging from the bun shop owner.

"Boss, please do me a favor and give my mother some steamed buns to eat! Our family suffered from a drought, the crops were all scorched, and there is nothing to eat at home. The boss does not pity me, but pity the two children too! Please! Already!"

The boss stood tall in front of the steamed stuffed bun shop, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "If you have money, I'll sell it to you! If you don't have money, let's go cool off! It's not just your family suffering from drought, now everyone Disasters have hit the counties and counties. If I give alms to everyone, what will I eat? Drink the northwest wind! Go away, go away, don't block my business!"

The boss took a broom and raised it to drive the three of them away. The child's mother knelt down and kowtowed to the boss, making a loud knock.

"Boss, you are so merciful, we haven't eaten for three days! For the sake of Guanyin Bodhisattva, give the two children a steamed stuffed bun! I am willing to be a cow or a horse if you want me!"

Hugging the boss's thigh and crying. Her two boys saw their mother crying and cried too, but they were a little weak, as if they had been really hungry for several days.

"Damn, I hate those people who don't seek to make progress, but just beg for a living! Get out of here!"

A fierce light flashed across the boss's eyes, and the broom held above his head fell towards his mother's head.

There was a snap, and then the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop yelled.

"Who the hell! Why did you hit me on the finger for a thousand knives... Ouch! Ouch!"

The broom also fell to the ground.

This marble was naturally played by Yan Li.

"You see, what is the situation of the victims now!" Yan Li glared at Rong Chang'an next to him, as if the drought was caused by Rong Chang'an.

"Boss, you don't give buns to others, so you don't need to beat them?" Song Qiang was from the army, and he was not so polite when he spoke. "If you do this again, I will kick him!"

The boss met the person and felt that he was dressed well. He looked like a rich man, not easy to mess with, so he said with a playful smile: "Young masters and ladies, you don't know, she depends on me like this, I can't help it! I also have an old lady in my family." Parents, wives and children to support, if I give alms to everyone, will I be able to survive this day?"

Knowing the difficulty of the boss, Yan Li signaled Song Qiang to back down, took out a silver ingot from his pocket, which was worth two taels, and threw it to the boss.

"Is this ingot enough for the child and the child's mother?"

The boss looked at the silver and found it was real, so he grinned and said, "Enough! Enough! It's enough to give them a whole plate of stir-fried vegetables."

"Then hurry up and fix it! Take good care of the mother and child!"

"That's great! It's easy to get things done with money!"

The boss went into the inner room to prepare steamed buns and stir-fried vegetables for the mother and son.

The mother regarded Yan Li as a lifesaver, and brought the two children to kneel down in front of Yan Li, kowtowed to Yan Li with a disheveled face.

"Thank you benefactor! Thank you benefactor! If the three of us can escape this catastrophe, we will definitely create a real body for you and keep offering incense every day!"

Yan Li smiled: "Then I am not an old monster!"

Without saying anything to them, he led Song Qiang, Tao Hong and Rong Chang'an away. After walking two blocks, Yan Li suddenly stopped, and Mo Ran looked back at Rong Chang'an with a relaxed face.

"Now you see why I punish corrupt officials severely. If one corrupt official is brought down, thousands of ordinary people's lives can be saved. Even if I die for this, it is worth it!"

Rong Changan laughed disapprovingly: "If you are impulsive, but without brains, it will only backfire!"

"Better to backfire than some people with no conscience!"

Rong Changan smiled coldly: "You can say whatever you want!"

Flicking his sleeves, he walked in front of Yan Li and the others.

Chuntao said to Yan Li: "Yan Yushi, you have misunderstood my mother. She is actually a very caring person."

"Hmph, she grew up in the general's mansion and enjoyed being in the palace, she has no idea what the outside world is like!"

Chun Tao said: "Just now I saw the Empress gave her favorite jade pendant to the mother and son. Doesn't that prove that she is a caring person?"

Song Qiang also said for Rong Changan: "Chuntao is right. When the soldiers have not eaten, the queen will not eat first; the soldiers have not rested, and she will not rest. Every time the emperor rewards , she didn't keep any of it, and gave it to her subordinates. I don't believe that such a general or such a queen is a cruel person."

The two talked to each other, making Yan Li look at Rong Chang'an who was walking in front again. At this moment, he found her back was so lonely and helpless. He strode to catch up.

"Are we going to build a rain praying altar to pray for rain for the people?"
