Chapter 1076

Mowing the Grass

Jiang Erniang stared blankly at the visitor.

This man was wearing a big cloak and looked young. In the dim light, he could be seen smiling.

Jiang Erniang felt in her heart that the courage to attack Duan Lao Er was gone, but thinking of her mother and sister, she mustered up her courage and said, "Someone is going to kill A Niang, please, save A Niang!"

She felt the request was excessive.

When conflicts occurred in the village in the past, most of them were resolved by the village officials and the village elders.

The Duan family is the most common surname in the village, and most of the village elders are their own family members.When Duan's second child came to harass Mrs Ma, Mrs Ma also went to the village elders for help.

The village elders began to scold Duan Lao Er, and someone kicked him.

But soon Duan's second child came for the second time.

Mrs. Ma went to the village elders for help for the second time, but this time the village elders just scolded Duan Lao Er.

For the third time, the village elders just looked at Mrs. Ma calmly.

One of the village elders looked at Ma Shi, nodded, and said in a hoarse voice, "He's a good man."

When Ma returned home, he fell ill that night.

She fell down for two days, and Jiang Erniang took her younger sister to watch over her every day. She prayed countless times, asking God to save her mother.

Perhaps it was her piety that moved the heavens, and Ma Shi was able to get out of bed on the third day.

Jiang Erniang felt that the gods were protecting her and her mother. Before going to sleep, she would thank the gods devoutly and continue to plead with the gods with some embarrassment.
But since then, the gods have never favored her again.

But she still prays every day, not in return, but just to thank the gods for their original kindness.

To this day, when she encounters a desperate situation, the first thing she does is pray.

Then, a troop of cavalry came.

God!
With tears in her eyes, Erniang Jiang felt that there was light all around her.

"He's going to kill Auntie!"

"Who?"

the man asked gently.

Jiang Erniang turned around and pointed to the shed.

"Second Duan!"

After hearing the sound of horseshoes, Duan Lao Er stopped the violence.

The man stood up and said lightly, "Come out!"

The entire temporary settlement came out.

"But the army from Haicheng?"

The village elders are here.

"Meet the General!"

The village is running in a hurry.

The man pointed inside, "Drive people out!"

Duan Lao Er inside heard something wrong, so he quickly raised his hand, "Little Duan Lao Er, the villain is here to deliver pancakes to Mrs. Ma!"

As he spoke, Duan Lao Er took out half a cake from his bosom.

Since yesterday, the three members of Ma's family have been given a small bowl of glutinous rice paste every day, while Duan's second child has pancakes to eat.

Some of the survivors raised doubts and were immediately kicked out by Duan's people.

If you go out in this weather, you won't survive a day!
The man never came back.

Then came Marsh.

Ma's clothes are messy, but he has never been humiliated.

She was shivering while arranging her clothes in the cold wind.

People who have lived to this point have only one thought. Live!
Once you lose this idea, you become a walking dead.

"Sister!"

Jiang Sanniang rushed out from the "house", threw herself to her sister's side, and looked at Duan Er Er timidly.

Mrs. Ma looked at those cavalrymen, then at those village elders and village officials, and said, "Thank you, General, I'm fine."

The man smiled, turned around and ordered, "Get some hot water somewhere."

Jiang Erniang looked at her mother puzzled, thinking that Duan Erer wanted to kill her before, but why didn't she ask for help?
She walked up to her mother, raised her head and said in a low voice, "Mother, he is a good person."

Mrs. Ma smiled stiffly at the village elders, who replied stiffly.
( ) smile.

Mrs. Ma patted her daughter's head and said, "They will leave, but we can't!"

"But they were sent by the gods!" Jiang Erniang said.

"Gods." Ma muttered, "Life is bad enough, gods don't have time to deal with the poor."

The second child Duan went to the village elder, said something in a low voice, turned around, and smiled at Mrs. Ma and her daughter.

Jiang Sanniang shuddered.

Ma Shi's complexion was ashen.

Jiang Erniang thought about the harassment again and again, thinking about the desperate situation before, and for some reason, she shouted: "General, he is the one who wants to kill A Niang!"

The man turned around, Jiang Erniang pointed to Duan's second child, and said, "He said earlier that he would kill Aniang and us."

The man pointed to Duan's second child, and the two big men walked over.

Muramasa smiled and said, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

A village elder cupped his hands, "The second child is a good boy, I am here to help. The second lady is ignorant, so she just bluffs!"

Duan Laoer said with a smile, "I'll turn around and I won't go any more."

A big man came over, grabbed Duan's second child by the collar, and turned around to ask, "Is that him?"

"Second Lady!" Ma Shi screamed.

"It's her!" Jiang Erniang shouted.

Snapped!
The big man slapped his hands and cursed: "Gou Ri, why can't you see that woman's distress?"

Duan's second child was panicked, "The villain and she are in love with each other."

"Likewise? You're having fun playing, tearing, whipping."

The big man slapped his backhand and said with satisfaction: "The two sides are finally evenly balanced."

The man stood on the side, looked ahead, and asked, "Did someone from Haicheng ever send someone to investigate?"

Muramasa was already dumbfounded, "I've been here for more than a dozen riders, I just took a look and left."

"Just take a look and leave?"

The man ordered: "Keep out, don't let anyone surprise you."

"Don't worry, my lord!"

What country?
Everyone felt that they heard it wrong.

Over there, a sergeant was burying a pot to boil water, opened the bag from the accompanying horse, took out dry biscuits, and baked them by the fire.

Jiang Erniang heard the sound of swallowing saliva.

She couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and her mother, Ma Shi, whispered in her ear: "I'll find you a home later, Auntie, and go to work in Haosheng, don't be lazy."

why?
Jiang Erniang felt fear in her heart, "Aniang, I won't go!"

The man discussed with the person for a few words, then turned around and waved.

Jiang Erniang pointed to herself, the man nodded, and she walked over slowly.

"How old is it?" the man asked with a smile.

"eleven."

"Where's Ye Niang?"

"Aye has gone, Auntie is over there!"

Jiang Erniang pointed at her mother, and Mrs. Ma smiled obsequiously.

The man nodded, "Is there food in the village?"

Jiang Erniang nodded and shook her head.

"Yes, they have, we don't!"

Ma's face turned pale, and he walked over leading Jiang Sanniang.

"What did you eat yesterday?" the man asked.

"A small bowl of slime."

"Ask!" The man pointed to Muramasa, and a middle-aged man beside him passed by.

"There is still half a bag of wheat flour." Muramasa said honestly.

The man came back, "Duke, luckily we got some food here, I'm afraid it won't last in other places."

"Yeah!" The man frowned, "Then spread out and go everywhere, another old thief!"

"exist!"

"Go to Haicheng and find Liao Jiang. Don't need to say anything else, just say that I will be there soon."

"Yes!"

Dozens ride away.

The man turned to look at Ma Shi. "Have you ever asked for help?"

() Mrs. Ma glanced at Muramasa, "I went, I said I was driven back by the checkpoint."

"Mr. Ma, don't talk nonsense!" the villager shouted, and then said with a smile: "It's not to drive away, it's to say that they are afraid of the plague, so they must not leave without authorization."

The man said noncommittally: "After the catastrophe, there will be a catastrophe. I didn't expect Liao Jiang to have such insight!"

At this time, someone brought a piece of cake, the man took it, looked at the mother and daughter Ma, tore off half and handed it over.

"Don't dare, I'm not hungry!"

Ma felt that the origin of this team of cavalry was strange, how could he dare to eat it?

"Let's eat!"

The man handed the pancake to Jiang Erniang.

Jiang Erniang tore half of the cake into three parts, the younger sister had the most, the mother was next, and hers was just a little bit.

The man called Muramasa, "Food is divided according to the old, weak, sick and disabled, and it should not be favored by the rich."

"Yes!" Muramasa replied.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Jiang Erniang felt panicked, so she asked timidly, "Is the general sent by the gods?"

The man laughed, "Why do you say that?"

"I prayed to the gods earlier." Jiang Erniang looked up at him.

The man smiled, "Then what do you want to pray for now?"

"I want to implore the gods to let Duan Laoer stop harassing my family." Jiang Erniang pointed to Duan Laoer.

"it is good!"

The man responded casually, got on his horse, and said, "Second brother!"

"Duke."

"Eunuch him!" the man said, pointing at Duan's second child.

"Do not!"

Amid Duan's second son's howl, the man led his troops away.

Afterwards, the Ma family was alienated by the villagers.

No one comes near them.

Ma Shi sniffed, found firewood by himself, took out the wheat flour that was hidden at the time, and boiled it until it became mushy.

No one came to snatch it, and no one came to criticize it, but the calm look in their eyes made the mother and daughter extremely uneasy.

In desperation, Jiang Erniang began to pray again.

Jiang Sanniang asked ignorantly, "Sister."

"Hmm!" Jiang Erniang looked at her with her head tilted.

"Why don't you ask Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty, who is it?"

Haicheng.

In the early morning, the city gate opened, and the victims outside got up one after another, looking at the city gate expectantly.

On the other side, the checkpoint on the official road ushered in thousands of cavalry.

"Stop! Stop!"

The hooves of the horses boomed.

"Draw the knife!"

someone shouted.

Thousands of horizontal knives were drawn out of their sheaths, and dozens of soldiers on duty were scared out of their wits, and hurriedly avoided them.

The refusal horse was pulled away, and someone shouted: "Why intercept it?"

The general leading the team said, "It's the envoy's order."

"Ask why you intercepted?"

The war horse came up to the general and snorted.

The general bowed his head and remained silent.

"I'm in a bad mood!"

He heard an impatient voice.

Immediately there was a chill in his neck, and the horizontal knife was already in place.

"The envoy said that the people should be sealed in place!"

After the general finished speaking, his whole body went limp, and he sat slumped on the ground.

"Walk!"

The cavalry crashed away.

The general got up, "Damn! Which cavalry is this?"

Da da da!
Another group of cavalry rushed over, but they were familiar with each other.

"Where are the cavalry?" the visitor asked.

The general scolded: "Just left, mother, you are so vicious, you almost cut them off! Do you know their origins?"

"It's Duke Qin!"

Liao Jiang is a fastidious person. When he first came to Huazhou to work, the entourage he brought
There are more than two dozen maidservants.

When he arrived in Huazhou, his meals were all cooked by the cook he brought; his documents were all handled by the staff he brought.

Sima Wenqing was a little tired of the envoy at first, but after learning about Liao Jiang's background, the tiredness turned into a crazy thigh hug.

The emperor's confidantes are also divided into three, six or nine ranks, and the Liao family is the first rank.

Once such thick thighs are hugged, when Liao Jiang is promoted, as one of his own, Wen Qing's official career will naturally have Liao to worry about.

This is forming a party!
Early in the morning, Liao Jiang drank the limited tea in Chang'an, stroked his beautiful beard, and asked, "How much food is left?"

Wen Qing said: "It's been a while, and we have been dispatched to various places for emergency. There is still [-]% left."

"Enough!" Liao Jiang didn't finish the text, and Wen Qing tentatively said: "Master, there are serious floods in various places. It has already passed ten days. If there is no relief, I am afraid that people will starve to death!"

"Old Wen, you have been away from Chang'an for a long time, and you don't know the changes in Chang'an."

Wen Qing was stunned, "Please give me your advice."

Liao Jiang took a sip of tea.Said: "You have to look at the general trend, there are more and more refugees now, why?"

"There are so many people and so little land!" Wen Qing said casually.

"That's right! There are so many people and so little land, but people are there, so you can't kill them?" Liao Jiang said lightly.

Wen Qing's spine shivered, "I'm afraid of impeachment from above."

"That's why I said that you don't know about the changes in Chang'an." Liao Jiang shook his head, "Chang'an is now focusing on northern Xinjiang. Every time there is a natural disaster in the local area, the court will just say a word and relieve the disaster by itself."

"Why?" Wen Qing was not well informed about Liao's.

"Let me teach you how to behave!" Liao Jiang said with a smile, "this world is full of people and little land. In case of natural disasters, we should provide relief? But where does the money and food come from? North Korea and China cut spending?"

Wen Qing nodded subconsciously.

"You!" Wen Qing has already worshiped under the Liao family, so Liao Jiang is quite kind to him, pointing at him with a smile, "Those ministers have worked so hard for the country... These are all lies, the truth is, No one wants to suffer!"

Wen Qing didn't dare to ask this question that day.

"There are too many people in the world." Liao Jiang repeated this point of view again.

Wen Qing suddenly felt chills down his spine, "You mean to kill someone with a knife?"

"Confused!" Liao Jiang said with a black face, "What is a natural disaster? It is God's will, what is God's will?"

Wen Qing smiled apologetically, "I'm just worried that too many people will die. It will affect Shijun's promotion at the end of this year."

"Just because I want to be promoted, I have people blockade everywhere!"

"you"

"Once the Huazhou passage to the outside is opened, the details of the Huazhou disaster will be known to the outside world."

Liao Jiang said: "You have to know that His Majesty has many enemies. I am going to Zhongshu this time, and some people are waiting to intercept! Hey! Intercept! Are you worthy?"

Something seemed to be broken in Wen Qing's mind, "Are you worried that your opponents will impeach you based on this? But you can't hide it after all!"

"When I enter Zhongshu and the flood in Huazhou breaks out again, so what?"

Liao Jiang said calmly: "Who would turn against His Majesty for the sake of killing some people and the Liao family? Besides, after I leave, Huazhou will still be His Majesty's Huazhou!"

Wen Qing was a little dazed, and then thought that he would be able to take over as governor of Huazhou. He looked at Liao Jiang, who nodded, "Understood?"

Wen Qing said, "I understand that the flood in Huazhou made you do your best to relieve the disaster, but it is God's will."

"Old Wen."

"exist!"

"Remember, people are like grass!"

"Yes!"

"Grass, cut one stubble, and next year it will grow another stubble!"

Liao Jiang raised his teacup and prepared to take a sip with a smile.

"Emissary!"

A small official rushed

Come in, blushing, "Someone claimed to be from northern Xinjiang, and rushed into the city!"

"Who?"

Wen Qing's heart tightened, she got up and asked.

"There's no need to worry." Liao Jiang said with a smile, "When it comes, it comes,

Yang Xuanyuan is in the northern border, and he also wants to instigate the old man from afar, so he is worthy? "

"right here!"

There was a loud noise outside.

A middle-aged man walked in.

He looked at Liao Jiang, "Mr. Liao?"

Liao Jiang nodded lightly, "It's me!"

"Old man Jia Ren, came to inform the envoy by the order of the Duke, and the Duke will be there soon!"

Those pampered hands trembled, and the teacup landed on the desk, rolled over, and landed on Liao Jiang's feet—
