The refugees were a little confused when they heard this.
One by one looked at each other, looking at each other.
What Kou Ji said was not tenable at all, but he used the deterrence brought by his official position to frighten the refugees.
Some timid even took a few steps back, hiding behind the others, for fear that Kou Ji would catch him and ask him for an explanation.
But some people were not afraid of Kou Ji. They faced Kou Ji and shouted: "You used sand to pretend to be food and deceived us. Now that you have been demolished on the spot, you still dare to talk nonsense. The sand on the ground is evidence. Everyone can see clearly."
The voice of the caller was very loud, and the refugees could hear it clearly.
Some people took the lead to denounce Kou Ji, and the refugees followed suit.
Amidst the fierce condemnation of the refugees, Kou Ji stepped forward with a grim expression and shouted, "Quiet!"
Liu Heng and Cao Yu held the torches very cooperatively, and stood on the left and right sides of Kou Ji, illuminating Kou Ji's body and making Kou Ji more deterrent.
Under Kou Ji's cold gaze, the quarreling voices of the refugees gradually became much smaller.
It's not that Kou Ji's deterrence once again frightened the refugees, but Chen Jing, Wang Tiansheng and others shouted out loudly, and the refugees gradually calmed down.
Kou Ji waited until the refugees calmed down, carrying his hands on his back, and slowly speaking, "I ask myself, since I took over, I have never done anything to apologize to you. Why do you want to target the official and be injustice to the official?"
"Cao Min and others did not target the Kou Industry Department. Cao Min and others just wanted to talk to the Kou Industry Department for an explanation."
A burly man with black moustache standing in front of the refugees said loudly.
Kou Ji's eyes fell on him, looked up and down one or two, and said coldly: "Come out and speak!"
The black moustache man looked like a Xiong Feng, and walked calmly before Kou Ji. He stared at Kou Ji with a pair of big copper bell eyes, impartial, without the slightest fear in his eyes.
Kou Ji watched the steps taken by the big black moustache, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
When the black moustache man walks, his legs are slightly open, and the inner side of the leg is outward, which is a bit of a circled leg.
His looped legs are very different from the natural looped legs, which are obviously acquired.
So far, Kou Ji has only seen this walking posture in one person, that is, the Liao State cavalry who lie on horseback all the year round.
"Who are you?"
Kou Ji stared at the black moustache man and asked.
The black moustache man clasped his fist and said, "Caomin Peng Yue!"
Kou Ji asked again, "When did you enlist in the army, any position, and when did you disarm?"
Hearing this, the big black moustache looked a little sad.
He didn't want to mention many things in the past, but Kou Ji had to answer when he asked about it.
The black moustache man pondered over and over again, and said in a low voice: "Enlisted in the army in the first year of Xianping, served as the Fourth Army Envoy of the Right Wing Battalion of the Jingsai Army, and Dazhong Xiangfu returned to the field in three years."
Hearing this answer, Kou Ji was a little surprised.
The Jingsei Army can be regarded as one of the elite of many soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty.
It was built when Emperor Zhao Guangyi was reigning.
When Taizong Zhao Guangyi was reigning in Taiping for four years, he expeded the Liao Kingdom to the north and fought a violent fight with the Liao army at Gaoliang River. He went to the battlefield to supervise the battle. Fleeing in embarrassment.
Not only did he get an arrow on his butt, he also lost his reputation as a donkey cart emperor because he ran away in a donkey cart.
In order to show the shame, save the reputation, in order to defeat the elite cavalry Tielin army of Liao.
Taizong Zhao Guangyi personally supervised the construction of a heavy armored cavalry with horses obtained from the Northern Expedition. There were three thousand men and five horses per person. The soldiers were all from the northern part of Yizhou.
This heavy cavalry is the Static Squadron.
In the first year of Duan Gong of Emperor Taizong, the Song and Liao countries fought in the Tanghe area, and the Jingsai Army appeared on the battlefield of Song and Liao as the vanguard.
In the first battle of Tanghe, he defeated the most proud Tielin army formation in Liao, chasing the Liao army all the way to Caohe, beheading five thousand, and seizing tens of thousands of horses.
The Jingsai Army was also promoted to one of the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army.
In the years that followed, they attacked one after another, all with gains.
Until the battle of Chanyuan.
The head of the Jingsei Army (the commander of the military capital) had travelled many times and was tired of people. He refused to go out again and was beheaded by the prison army. , Was beaten half disabled by the Liao army.
Finally became obscure.
The big man named Peng Yue in front of him said that he was disarmed during the reign of Dazhong Xiangfu, so the reason for his leaving the army must be more or less related to the battle of Chanyuan.
Otherwise, with his status as a military envoy, it is impossible to become a civilian.
In the Song Army military system, officials at the first level of the infantry are called Dutou; officials at the first level of the Majun are called military envoys.
Dutou and the military envoys were equal, and he led a hundred soldiers under his command.
The identity of Peng Yue, a military envoy similar to Dutou, is not comparable to Wu Song in "Water Margin".
The head appointed by Wu Song's county government office can only be regarded as a big official.
Peng Yue's military envoy status is a real military officer.
There are obvious differences between one official and one official.
Moreover, in accordance with the practice in the Song Army, any officer who served as an envoy of the imperial army would have a lower rank official position in front of it.
For example, from the 9th-rank accompany Rong Xiaoli, or the 9th-rank Renyong Xiaoli.
Due to the particularity of the Serbian Army, before Peng Yue's disarmament, the rank of envoy should be added to the rank of Renyong Lieutenant.
However, no matter what Peng Yue's status was before, Kou Ji doesn't care much now.
What he is most concerned about now is the problem of the refugees making trouble.
Kou Ji stared at Peng Yue and asked: "What kind of explanation do you want from this official?"
Peng Yue raised his head and said neither humble nor overbearing: "It is not an explanation for the grassroots, but an explanation for all the victims."
"What's the explanation?"
Kou Ji asked coldly.
Peng Yue solemnly said: "Where did the grain sent to us by the court? Why do you use sand to pretend to be grain to deceive us?"
Kou Ji sneered: "The grain that the court sends you is naturally in the grain depot in the city of Bianjing. When it is given to you, it will naturally be shipped out. The official has never used any sand to pretend to be grain.
When the officer transported the sand, did he tell you that it was food? "
Peng Yue clenched his fists slightly, gritted his teeth and said: "Never..."
Kou Ji asked loudly: "Then tell me, when did the official coax you?"
Peng Yue raised his head, staring at Kou Ji with scorching eyes, and asked, "Since it's not grain, why do you stack it with grain?"
Kou Ji glanced at Peng Yue and said with a sneer: "The things prepared by this officer are useful and need to be explained to you."
Peng Yue's cheeks were flushed, and he blew his beard and stared: "Why can't we ask what the court sent us?"
Hearing this, Kou Ji stared at Peng Yue, and said coldly: "What did the court send you? You can be regarded as a post in the court. You would not naively think that the court will help in addition to food. You prepare the house, prepare the bed, prepare the herbs, right?"
Peng Yue was taken aback when he heard the words, frowned and stared at Kou Ji suspiciously, "Couldn't it be..."
Kou Ji snorted and did not speak.
Liu Heng said coldly from the side: "My fourth brother was afraid that you would die from freezing or sickness, so he took the initiative to arrange your job, raised money for himself, bought herbs and wood, and built houses for you."
Cao Yu added with a sneer: "The court will cut off your food and grass in the spring next year. The reason why my fourth brother made these sand and soil was also to help you build a workshop for making a living, so that you can pay back after the spring next year. Can earn a bite to eat.
Not only did you not accept my fourth brother's affection, but you also raised the sand.
I would rather see, without my fourth brother helping you build a livelihood workshop, what will you eat after the spring next year? "
Liu Heng and Cao Yu followed Kou Ji's words and sneered at Peng Yue.
Peng Yue's face was flushed red, and with his black mustache, it looked like a red-faced Yasha.
Peng Yue served as an official in the court, and he knew the court's style of doing things well.
The court's relief efforts over the years have either given a mouthful of food to allow the victims to fend for themselves, or put the victims into the Xiang army so that the victims could barely eat a mouthful of the royal food.
The court has basically never done anything to help the victims build houses.
This time he followed the refugee team to Bianjing and saw the officials sent by the court to help them build houses. He thought it was at the feet of the emperor. The court took care of his face and changed his sex.
Now, after listening to the three of Kou Ji, he understood.
It was not that the court had changed sex, but that they encountered an official who truly pityed them.
Peng Yue couldn't raise his head in shame. He lowered his head, covered his face, and said to Kou Ji: "It is the Caomin who blamed the Kou Industry Department. A complaint."
Hearing Peng Yue's soft words, the expression on Kou Ji's face eased a bit.
He stared at Peng Yue and said, "The reason why this official has done so much is to allow you people who have been affected by the disaster to survive. Saving your lives has already cost the official a lot of money, so how can this official hurt? you guys."
Peng Yue held his fist and gave a deep salute to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji raised his head and looked at the other refugees and said, "The value of the medicinal materials you have consumed in the past few days is far more expensive than the food. Since the officials provided for you to take the medicine to get sick, how could you not be able to provide for your food
The grain for you is piled up in the grain storehouse in Bianjing City.
It was late at night, and the four gates of Bianjing had already been locked, and it was impossible to transport the wolfweed out.
By tomorrow morning, the grain will be shipped out of Bianjing, and you will definitely not miss a ration.
It won't make any of you hungry. "
Kou Ji persuaded the leader, Peng Yue, and took out the medicinal materials to talk about the matter.
In addition, Chen Jing, Wang Tiansheng and others frequently helped Kou Ji speak, and the feelings of the refugees were not as excited as before.
Kou Ji stared at the refugees, and said: "You are not yet ready to go back to rest. A large number of victims like you will come tomorrow, and you will need your help in resettlement.
If it is because of Er et al.'s fault that caused the resettlement of the victims to go wrong, don't blame the official for not being affectionate. "
"It's gone!"
Kou Ji waved his hand.
Peng Yue first arched his hands, returned to the refugees, and then walked into his tent.
Seeing this, other refugees also walked into their tents in twos and threes.
Kou Ji let out a sigh of relief after seeing the refugees dispersed.
He was really afraid that the refugees would suddenly riot and make things uncontrollable.
Liu Heng and Cao Tong beside him also breathed a sigh of relief together.
They have the same concerns as Kou Ji.
After Chen Jing, Wang Tiansheng and others calmed the refugees, they walked to Kou Ji.
Chen Jing looked at Kou Ji anxiously, and asked: "The Kou Industry Department, the grain given to us by the court is really in the grain storehouse in Bianjing City?"
Kou Ji stared at him, questioning: "Is this official lied to you?"
Chen Jing smiled dryly, "That's not..."
Wang Tiansheng stared at Kou Ji and said seriously: "Kou Industry Department, if something goes wrong with the food issue, you must notify the students and others as soon as possible, so that the students and others can be prepared."
Kou Ji said calmly: "There is nothing wrong with the food. You don't really believe those rumors, do you?"
Chen Jing and Wang Tiansheng looked at each other and shook their heads together.
The reason why they approached Kou Ji was to get some accurate information from Kou Ji's mouth.
It's just that Kou Ji didn't reveal anything about it.
They didn't see any flaws, so they chose to believe Kou Ji's words.
The two bowed their hands to Kou Ji and returned to their tents.
After all the refugees were gone, Kou Ji asked the servants to clean up the torn food parcels. He took Liu Heng and Cao Yu back to the tent.
Enter the tent.
Kou Ji said to Liu Heng and Cao Wei: "You two are going to Nancheng Gate, and you will return to Bianjing City from Nancheng Gate."
Liu Heng and Cao Tong stared at Kou Ji and shook their heads together.
Kou Ji told them to leave at this time, and they knew what they were thinking about.
Although Kou Ji prevented the refugees from making trouble and deceived them, the problem was not solved at all.
When the fire starts tomorrow.
If Kou Ji can't bring out the food, then those refugees will no longer believe any words of Kou Ji.
When the time comes, they will rush forward without hesitation, tearing up all the officials and government officials at the northern gate to vent their anger.
They don't care that there is a grandfather who is the prime minister behind Kou Ji, nor do they care that Kou Ji has a deep friendship with the official Zhao Zhen.
Because in their eyes, the absence of food means death.
Since his life is dying, he still cares about other things.
The reason why Kou Ji allowed Liu Heng and Cao Yu to go back to Bianjing was to prevent Liu Heng and Cao Yu from being beaten to death by the refugees.
Liu Heng stared at Kou Ji firmly and said, "Four brother, if you don't go, I won't go."
Cao Tong nodded and said, "The same is true for me."
Kou Ji sighed and said solemnly: "Some of the refugees believed me, but some definitely didn't. At this moment, I don't know how many eyes are staring at me in the dark.
If I leave, they will rush out together to stop me.
You are different, don't risk following me. "
