Chapter 181 The fox fakes the tiger
In the first year of Xianheng, there was a great drought in Guanzhong, and there was no rain for several months in a row. Even if it was the late autumn season, God was still extremely stingy. Not to mention the rain, there was not even a cloud in the sky. The hot sun burned the earth, the pond was dry, the stream was dry, and even the river, which was always gurgling in the past, was exhausted. At the bottom, the earth cracked out countless crisscrossing cracks, like a mouth waiting to be fed. Countless disaster victims had to leave the hometown where their ancestors lived with their families and embarked on the road of emigrating to a foreign country. Fortunately, the government has received the imperial edict, which not only arranged manpower to maintain order, but also organized it. The few local rich households who provided porridge along the way finally barely maintained the vitality of most of the disaster victims, but even so, there are still many weak people who have collapsed on the way, and how desolate it is.
"Your Highness, take a rest for a while, and you are about to reach the territory of Lantian."
Since passing the Hangu Pass, Li Xian's face has become worse and worse day by day. In the past, he could no longer say anything with his gorgeous smile, and he said very little. He only cared about the way crazily. Even when he was rested, he just stared silently at the refugees on the way. Such a painful situation made all the bodyguards. If it's cold, no one dares to disturb Li Xian easily. Only Jiang Ye still has the courage. After galloping for several hours, Jiang Ye caught up with Li Xian and asked tentatively.
"Go to the post station!"
Li Xian glanced at Jiang Ye and replied in a hoarse voice. His face was still hard to look tight. This was not Li Xian's intention to be compassionate, but grief and guilt from the bottom of his heart. Li Xian had already expected this natural disaster, not only because of the experience in his previous life, but also because he received rumors from various places early. Compared with the public in the middle of the dynasty, Li Xian is undoubtedly the one who knew the coming of the disaster, but Li Xian did not bring it out. The most fundamental purpose is to take this opportunity to achieve the purpose of immigration. The reason is very simple. The population density in Guanzhong is too large to be overwhelmed, and this It is precisely because the Tang Dynasty has always adhered to the fundamentalism of Guanzhong. The Chinese people have been extremely serious about the concept of locality since ancient times. It is not easy to emigrate. Only with the help of natural disasters can this purpose be achieved. Now, the purpose is about to be achieved, but the tragedy of death and injury makes Li Xian feel extremely guilty, even if Li Xian has done his best to settle down. Don't donate money to your merchants, but you still can't relieve the bitterness and sadness in your heart.
"Speed up, Your Highness said, go to the post station to eat big pieces of meat and drink in a big bowl!"
Jiang Ye was an optimist who fell and was covered. He didn't mind Li Xian's indifference at all. He laughed and turned around and roared at a group of already exhausted palace guards, which immediately aroused a strange cry from everyone. The dull atmosphere in the team was immediately light. Although Li Xian listened In his ears, he didn't pay attention to Jiang Ye's "crime" of tampering with his original words. He just shook his head with a wry smile and galloped forward...
Lantian, the southeast gateway of Chang'an City, belongs to Jingzhaofu. It is famous for its rich production of beautiful jade. The county is not large, and the population is not large. There are more than a total of more than a thousand families, who generally make a living by jade mining or carving. Although Lantian is also a disaster-stricken place in this drought, the disaster situation is not too serious. Most of the cities are hand-made. Because of the industry to make a living, the people of the city are still stable, but because it is located in the traffic pass, the victims from all over the world generally have to pass through here. The whole county can't help but be in chaos. Even if the Beijing Zhaofu sent a lot of government officials to help, it can't clarify the chaos. In the end, it has to close the city and not accommodate the victims. Only some porridge sheds were set up along the road outside the city to provide relief for the disaster victims. In this way, the four villages and eight fields have become places for disaster victims everywhere. Even the post stations outside the city are no exception. The dirty and messy scene made Li Xian and his party all frown. It was really unbearable, and they had to be on another hill outside the city. Shang'an put down a small camp, and Li Xian, who didn't want to eat, didn't even wait for the camp to be set up, so he led Jiang Ye and several other relatives to rush to the porridge point.
Lantian is a necessary place for disaster victims to transfer. There are many porridge spots outside the city. There are not only porridge sheds in the Lantian government, but also porridge sites for rich people in the city. There are also many rich families from Beijing who come here to set up porridge. Of course, the largest porridge point is Li Xian's. The porridge shed set up by "Deng Ji Company" is easy to identify. It is the place where the disaster victims gather the most. That's where Li Xian is going. However, before Li Xian came to the ground, there was a sudden burst of riot in front of him. There was a sound of fighting, roaring, screaming, and cursing. Li Xian's face darkened, and his footsteps couldn't help but The ground accelerated a little. Relying on his strong body, he stubbornly lined up the chaotic crowd. At a glance, his face turned black in an instant - more than a dozen strong men in commercial clothes were beating two disaster victims!
It is worth saying that even if he is not a person who is not a "Deng Ji Company", he is absolutely not related to the business name. As for being beaten, it is a little strange - a bearded and strong man desperately resisted the attack of the business personnel and covered a middle-aged scribe behind him. His fists and feet are quite good, and his fists are quite open. With the ability of Fuhu, no matter how a group of business people attack, it is always as stable as a rock, but it only defends and does not attack. Even if it is hit by a lot of punches and feet, it will never fight back.
"... Beat me, beat me hard. What's the matter? I'm kind and kind to release food for you. I'm not grateful. I dare to think that I'm endless. Look for a smoke. Brothers, give me more effort and kill these two dogs. Damn, I don't ask about it. Can our 'Dengji Company' be provoked? Tell you, boy, not to mention you two unruly people, even if the people of Jingzhao Mansion come, you have to lie down. Behind our house is His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, do you understand? Fight, brothers, work harder, beat to death..."
The fists and feet on the field were very lively. At the door of the porridge shed, there was a big fat man in stew, roaring like thunder and cursing, while the onlookers all remained silent, but everyone's faces were full of anger and dare not to say anything.
Damn evil slave! Li Xian didn't know what had happened. Hearing that the fat man was full of nonsense, he immediately guessed the root of the matter and immediately got angry. In order to avoid suspicion, Li Xian rarely had private contact with "Deng Ji Trading Company". All the matters were arranged for Lin Hu to come forward, and all the official troubles were also largely due to Gao Mio is responsible for the arrangement, so although many forces have guessed the relationship between "Deng Ji Company" and Li Xian, no one can make trouble based on this. After all, it is an unwritten practice for princes to take the business's dry share capital. Even if they refer to this, it is obvious that Li Xian can't do it. These things that are t know nothing can't be carried up. On the table, and the fat man actually dared to publicize it. He had already violated Li Xian's taboo, not to mention that he obviously carried the flag of Li Xian as a tiger's skin because of the exposure of the food and ginseng. Isn't this obvious thing that it is ruining Li Xian's reputation? Besides, this relief for disaster victims is the morning. There must be no room for any ambiguity in the big event. In case it is played up by Li Xian, the crime of "buying people's hearts", the consequences are not a joke. Under Li Xian's anger, his face is as dark as the bottom of the pot in an instant, and the evil spirit on his body immediately rises.
"Take down the fat man!"
Li Xian is not an ordinary person after all. He is angry, but he will never be disgised by it. He did not kill people directly, but ordered in a cold voice.
"No!"
Ling Chong and others who followed Li Xian were the old bodyguards of the royal palace. They knew Li Xian's temperament. Hearing Li Xian's tone, he did not dare to neglect him. They bowed their promises and wanted to come forward to get people, but they didn't expect that everyone had not come forward. Jiang Ye, who was silent, ran to the front and kicked rudely. He kicked the fat man who was still chattering to the ground, and he kept howling like a pig. He put out a few legs and kicked him in front of Li Xian like a football.
"Oh, kill people, come on, save our family..."
The fat man was scolding, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway. What's more, Jiang Ye moved his foot without even saying anything. After being hit a few times, the poor fat man had been kicked unconscious, and he shouted wildly no matter what.
"No, save stewer Wang quickly."
"Where did the thief come from? I'm looking for death!"
"Fry them to death!"
......
A group of business men who were beating up the two victims heard the sound. They couldn't help but teach the victims a lesson, so they roared and rushed to Jiang Ye.
"Looking for death!"
Ling Chong is the bodyguard who has been following Li Xian for the longest time. As one of the core figures of Zhou Wangfu, he knows what was going on with the "Deng Ji Company". When he saw that the businessman dared to be so presumptuous, he was furious and roared, and rushed over with the guards who rushed over.
The battle broke out quickly and ended faster. The two sides are not at the same level of characters at all. Although there are many business people and there are two hands under them, but when they meet Ling Zhong and other high-level bodyguards, it is not enough to see at all. It's just a face-to-face effort. A group of businessmen have fallen to the ground. Except for howling and rolling, no one can have the power to fight again.
"You, you are looking for death. Your Highness can't wait. You wait, ah..."
The fat man originally expected the guys under him to save him from the sea of suffering, but he didn't expect that the seemingly popular subordinates had been destroyed by the whole army in an instant. He immediately panicked and couldn't care about the pain on his body. He turned over and got up, left a scene and planned to run away, but I never thought that as soon as I turned around, I saw Li Xian's gloomy black face, and I was stunned and stood on the spot...
