The crowd of hungry people outside the east wall of Wuhang City was nowhere to be seen. It was the city gate captain who sent out all his soldiers and unsheathed his swords. It took more than two hours to drive away these many people who had no strength to walk.
Originally, a small piece of pancake or a small bowl of porridge could make these people leave voluntarily. However, under the hasty orders, they could only use coercion, and even blood would have little effect.
The hungry people who had been lingering under the east wall of Wuhang City since late autumn moved to the other three walls, leaving behind a considerable number of shacks and many corpses that had not yet emitted a foul smell due to the cold. There were not many fire embers. Logically speaking, this It is always necessary to light a fire in the bitter cold, but the hungry people have no energy left to collect firewood, and a few or dozens of people huddle together in one place to keep warm.
The city gate guards who had just driven away the hungry people turned to hard work again, dismantling the shabby shacks that blocked most of the road and throwing them into the ditches on both sides. They also carried the corpses inside like torn sacks. Get up and throw them in, and then randomly pile some twigs and rags for building shacks in, which will be the graves of these corpses.
Chengmen Wei's soldiers, who were always known for their laziness, were very energetic at this moment. They were rewarded with five taels of silver for each person who did well, and were given ten lashes of whip for each person who failed to do well. Even a fool could see this. They are very clear. How can these oily former green-skinned scoundrels not be transparent?
Not long after, all the things that hindered the view of the nobles in the carriages and horses were moved to hidden places, and the trivial dust and dust on the road were also cleared away. The east gate of Wuhang City was opened for the first time since the beginning of winter. People took baths, changed clothes, washed their hands and burned incense. Waiting for the most distinguished visitor.
All the soldiers of the city gate captain left, including those on duty, and the deserted road into the city was swept clean. If there were people coming and going, they would not have thought that under the ditch a few feet beside them, Someone's body was slowly rotting in it.
There is a young master in Jiangzhou who is unparalleled in his generation.
The Jiangzhou governor who had been waiting in Wuhang City for a long time could not have imagined that when the young master returned from a long trip, he would not rush to his mansion immediately, but instead go to the mass graves outside the city to pay homage to the dead women. If he knew it, , I am afraid that the inner face will be quite ugly, but I will definitely not show it, because this state's frontier official has something to ask for from him, from this wealthy young man from Jiangzhou.
Half an hour after the city gate opened, the four-horse carriage that the Jiangzhou governor had been waiting for for who knows how many days finally returned. The shogunate of the governor's office who was standing on the city gate overlooking the city was painted with The golden powder shook his eyes, and he was overjoyed. He climbed down the city wall and rode on
I had already prepared a fast horse and headed straight to the Governor's Mansion to report the news.
The four divine horses of Feng Zuo Long Hui pulled the gold-painted carriage slowly, just a little faster than the trotting people. The priceless mounts acted as draft horses, but the people in the carriage showed no sign of any signs. It's a pity that it seems like a habit.
The man in white lifted the car curtain and saw that the road outside the car was swept as clean as a woman's boudoir. He couldn't help but laugh and said:
"It's just whitewashing the skeleton. If the governor wants to go further with these little tricks, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"But that's okay." He lowered the car curtain, and then said with a smile, "At least the governor knows that there are tens of thousands of hungry people outside Wuhang City, otherwise it will be impossible to help him this time."
"Sir." The man driving the carriage had a very deep voice, which should have come from his Dantian. "We are entering the city. Should we go to the Governor's Mansion first?"
"No need, let's take a look around this city. I haven't been to Wuhang City for three years. It's good to have a look around."
"Follow your orders," said the groom, who was probably someone with profound martial arts skills.
As a result, in front of the Jiangzhou governor's mansion, which opened the middle gate, the owner of the mansion who rushed out after receiving the news about the secret guest had to wait for an unknown amount of time.
....
"Sir, Rouge Lane is just ahead. Do you want to go in and have a look?"
"Let's just take a look and leave. It's hard to make the governor wait for too long. After all, he is also an official appointed by the capital, so he still has to give him some face."
As soon as this ostentatious carriage and horse entered Wuhang City, it would be impossible for it to not attract attention. Any rich man with a little discernment could see that any one of the four divine horses is worth ten thousand dollars of his own.
After paying the price for the carriage ride, I began to use my connections to find out which family the owner of the horse was.
The people in the carriages casually threw some golden beans in front of the beggar who was running behind him. After a burst of looting, they grabbed a large handful and sprinkled them out. Even the adults passing by could not help but come up to fight for them.
If you grab it, save it by saying this:
"One pill per person, no more." Then he left.
This sentence instantly aroused everyone's memory. The young man who once rode a carriage drunkenly around Wuhang City throwing golden beans and jade beads finally came back. When the poor people in Jiangzhou learned about it, they looked worried about their livelihood.
Relaxed, and when those dandy boys heard this, they restrained all their actions and returned home.
Feared by the urban dandies of Wuhan like tigers and wolves, because of poverty
The young master who was loved by the people sincerely opened the car curtain in front of Rouge Alley and looked towards the end of the alley. Then he smiled and said: "When did Rouge Alley become the territory of martial arts performers? It has only been three years since we left and there are no rules at all."
At the entrance of Rouge Alley, a young man who was shirtless and without much muscle put on a show and performed a set of punches in a precise manner. There was a bowl in front of him. There were three or two copper plates scattered in the bowl, surrounded by
There were only seven or eight people watching, most of them children, and they definitely wouldn't give money.
"Ah Wu, how does he compare to you?" the man in white asked the driver of the carriage boredly, while watching the young man throw that set of punches over and over, making people wonder if he only knew those few moves and those few.
The children gradually became bored and walked away to find more fun things, trying to dig out a few ground cows curled up into balls from the cracks in the wall.
"Sir, the difference between cloud and mud, victory or defeat, life or death, is all a matter of one move."
"You, you, even if you can show off your majesty in this three-acre area of Wuhang City, you will be beaten in the nose, nose, and face after leaving Jiangzhou." The man in white said helplessly, "Look at this person.
No matter how old you are, no matter how old you are, there is no telling whether others will catch up from behind and achieve far better things than you in the future."
The man driving the carriage showed a simple and honest smile, but he was still like Hong Zhongdalu: "Looking back to the master, in the martial arts, even if the stupid bird flies first, compared with the peng bird that really wants to soar into the sky, no matter how diligent it is, it will be difficult."
To make up for it, although I can’t compare to those figures like birds and phoenixes, I am still a wild goose that can fly hundreds of feet high, and I can’t compare to just any little sparrow.”
After listening to the words of the man driving the carriage, the man in white smiled and opened the curtain. After thinking for a while, he threw a golden bean into the bowl that still only had three or two copper coins, and then let the man driving the carriage pass.
leave.
Is it a sparrow? He thought, maybe some of the sparrows could spread their wings and fly high like a roc.
