Pang Xiao heard the words but did not respond immediately, he hesitated and said, "It's inappropriate for you to show your face in this kind of thing. I will have a way to persuade them, it's better that you don't participate."
Those big households are now waiting for someone to come to their door, so how can they have a good face? What's more, most of these big families have people who used to be officials in Dayan, and these people may have some hearts against Dazhou.
No matter whether their character is really noble or fake, if they stand on the commanding heights of morality and criticize Qin Yining, those words will not sound good.
After all, Qin Yining, as a daughter of the Taishi's mansion who had been in Dayan to discuss the next candidates, has now become the queen concubine who defeated Dayan's culprit. In the eyes of those people, she has become a rebel.
Pang Xiao knew that Qin Yining had suffered a lot with her, so how could she be willing to let her listen to people's gossip
Qin Yining was worried when he met, and after a brief thought, he knew what he was worrying about, and the warmth in his heart could not be hidden. Qin Yining put his arms around Pang Xiao's arm and rubbed his shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm the kind of person who cares about other people's opinions? Besides, how can people ask themselves to be liked by everyone in this world? Different, it is normal to be scolded.”
"That said. But you still listen to me. I'll do it myself. Don't get involved." Pang Xiao hugged Qin Yining distressedly. The more open-minded and sensible she was, the more pity Pang Xiao felt for her. . If he hadn't suffered so much at the beginning, how could he have been forced to learn so many human feelings at a young age that should have been lively
Although it was already dark, this was the street after all, Qin Yining gently pushed Pang Xiao away with a red face.
Pang Xiao then no longer hugged her, but walked slowly towards the direction of the government office with her shoulders in his arms.
"Since you said that, I won't force it. In fact, it's better for us to act cautiously these days." Qin Yining was also afraid that he would become a prodigy and cause trouble to Pang Xiao. After all, Li Qitian had already secretly dispatched troops to the old man. all surrounded.
Pang Xiao could understand what she meant, nodded and said, "What you said is that we only need to think about disaster relief. In other words and deeds, we must pay special attention to it, and there can be no ambiguity that can make people grab the handle."
"I know that you won't let me participate in the negotiation, and I won't go out without anything."
Qin Yining has seen the chaos and cruelty of war.
When the people couldn't even guarantee their own lives, morality was already a luxury. At this time, she might indeed encounter danger when she went out at will, and she was even more likely to take advantage of this opportunity to make trouble.
Pang Xiao saw that she was so sensible, if it wasn't for the fact that he was still on the street at this time, he really wanted to hold her in his arms so that he would love her.
When the two of them walked near the porridge shed, they saw that the front was already crowded with people.
Outside the small porridge shed, hundreds of people crowded together, holding up broken bowls and pots with dry and dirty hands, scrambling to scoop up a spoonful of porridge first. The strong crowded in front, the old and weak women and children were isolated from the crowd, there were also the crying of children, the choking of old people, the broken walls on both sides of the road and the old trees that were about to be stripped of their leaves and bark...
All of this caused a heavy blow to Qin Yining and Pang Xiao's hearts. After seeing this, they couldn't help feeling chills and anxiety in their hearts.
What treasure, what battle
These are not as important as a stone of grain now!
This is the common people who have been struggling in the disaster area for two months after the Earth Dragon turned over! They suffered a series of disasters. The emperor of the old country was a foolish emperor, and the emperor of the new country only cared about finding treasures and ignored them.
Immortals fight, mortals suffer, what's wrong with them!
Pang Xiao's back molars creaked, he pulled Qin Yining around and left.
When the voices were getting farther away, Pang Xiaocai said: "It can't go on like this, the food won't last long. I have to let those big households spit out the food. Otherwise, more and more people will die! It's not overturned. The house was smashed to death, but was starved to death by his own king... What a fuck!"
Pang Xiao was furious and slammed his fist into the yellow mud wall beside him. The wall was shaken with many cracks. Under such a force, it was shattered with a bang, and the dust was flying and the mud was shattered. .
Qin Yining took Pang Xiao's hand and saw that his fist was clenched tightly, the veins were exposed, the joints of the phalanx were broken, bloodshot and dust were stained in one place, which looked shocking.
She didn't nag Pang Xiao, but silently took the water bag to help him clean it up, then smeared rock sugar on the gold sore medicine she was carrying, and finally wrapped the wound with a light green silk handkerchief.
Pang Xiao's initial anger had already turned into a cloud of smoke under Qin Yining's gentle care. At this time, he was calm as water, looking down at the woman who carefully wrapped his wounds in front of him.
No matter what happened, as long as she was by his side, he could withstand it. must also withstand. Because he is a man, he has a family, so he must support her.
"Sister Yi, I..." Pang Xiao's tone was apologetic.
Qin Yining smiled and pinched his stubble chin, "Next time, you are not allowed to do this again. This is a disaster area, and the good ones are afraid of getting an epidemic. How dare you hurt yourself when you are fine? If you do this again next time. , I will accompany you to hurt."
"That's not good. I'm rough and fleshy, and you can't compare."
"Would it not hurt if you have rough skin and thick flesh? Even if you don't feel pain, it still hurts when I see it." Qin Yining turned around and walked towards the yamen, "If you can't correct it, you won't be allowed to sleep in the house in the future."
This is a huge threat. In such an anxious environment, everyone already eats porridge and preserved fruits, and survives under enormous pressure every day. Now the only consolation is that they can embrace each other and sleep at night. Where can Pang Xiao be willing to? according to
But he didn't dare to disobey Qin Yining, for fear of making her unhappy.
"Sister Yi, I know I'm wrong. It won't be like this in the future." Pang Xiao admitted his mistake very sincerely, and smiled to please her and took her hand.
After tossing and turning all night, Qin Yining didn't sleep well. But the next day, he still cheered up and followed Li Zhixian to the porridge shed to check.
Pang Xiao went to Ding's and Pei's homes again, intending to persuade them to sell rice at a lower price.
However, the Ding family and the Pei family seemed to have made an appointment, and they all showed hatred when they saw Pang Xiao.
Master Pei has been a Hanlin in the imperial court for several years. He is pedantic and pedantic. Now, when he sees Pang Xiao, he even spit it out.
"Bah! You are a murderous devil, how dare you come to talk to the old man? Tell you, the old man has food, but he will not sell it to you! Not to mention that you want me to lower the price, you are just a small yellow croaker to buy a catty, I don't sell either!
"You scumbags, you deserve to be destroyed in the big week!"
Pang Xiao endured the anger in his heart and warmly persuaded: "These grains were bought by the court and you, not robbed, and you sold the grains to save the lives of most people. Even if you have hatred for this king, it is a big deal. The Yan Dynasty still no longer exists, and now it is the emperor of Dazhou who rules the world and seeks the well-being of the common people. If you continue to be obsessed and insult this king, do you believe that this king can pacify your Pei family?"
"Look, this shows its true colors! What is collecting grain and grass, I think you just want to take the opportunity to make a fortune!"
The more Mr. Pei scolded, the more unpleasant it became. In the end, even all the female elders of the eighth representative of Pang Xiao's ancestors greeted him.
Pang Xiao had already gritted his teeth, how could such a confused person still be a Hanlin? No wonder the Dayan Dynasty collapsed!
"No matter what you say, your behavior of low-priced lions and big mouths regardless of the lives of the people is really not very clever. Since you love the Dayan Dynasty so much, why don't you want to save the people of the Dayan Dynasty?
"You just want to watch a person tragically die in front of you under starvation? Your Pei family has a large population, but if your grain is stored properly, it will be enough to support a Longxiang army! Bite and hold on!
"You still have the face to brand yourself as a loyal, patriotic and brave knight? Just like you, you don't care about the life and death of the people, I think you are shabby!"
Pang Xiao had been suffocating for a long time, but it finally broke out at this time.
Master Pei was a scholar after all. Facing the murderous Morihan that Pang Xiao had raised on the battlefield, he shivered in fright and almost rolled his eyes.
Pang Xiao naturally wouldn't let it go. After he got out of the dowry, he just called up the Twenty Dragons' Army and stood in front of the mansion with murderous aura. Shen Sheng said to Mr. Pei: "Today's rash harassment is my negligence. I didn't do enough homework. But the people still have to eat, if you sell it at a lower price, then you are doing practical things for the people and accumulating more merits. , future generations will prosper."
On the contrary, the future generations may not have this blessing, and whether they can save their lives remains to be seen.
No need to finish speaking, Master Pei already understood the meaning, and finally broke out in a cold sweat.
This Prince Zhongshun is really unusual, and he was frightened into this in a few words.
But he would never let go.
He didn't believe that Prince Zhongshun would dare to do anything to him!
"No matter what the lord says, I won't agree. Either 10 taels of silver and one stone of rice will be paid in one hand and the other will be delivered. Or you don't eat it! Send off the guests!"
With a flick of his sleeves, Master Pei turned around and went into the house.
Pang Xiao looked at his back and smiled deeply.
Only those who are familiar with him know that under his smiling expression, a storm has been brewing in the phoenix eyes.
I didn't do well in Pei's house, and was severely humiliated. It was the same result when I went to Ding's house.
Pang Xiao worked hard for many days, and Qin Yining had almost eaten the food he raised. And Li Qitian came here with a secret, but he refused to find out, and he did not bring rice for disaster relief.
The people ate a meal that was thinner than a meal, and gradually became dissatisfied.
"Isn't Prince Zhongshun a disaster relief official! Could it be that the Holy Spirit did not give us any food!"
"Is it you bunch of corrupt officials who secretly kept food secret, and then raised the price and sold it to the poor people like us? If you don't have money for you, you will starve us to death? You are not giving people a way to live!"
The people were excited. At first it was just a private discussion, then it turned into a curse, and finally they started to protest collectively in front of the porridge shed, triggering an extremely dangerous riot!
