Li Siyong is now like water without a source and a tree without roots, and he can only stay in the inn wherever he stays.

When leaving, Sui Wang gave him a wad of silver tickets, thousands of taels, and Liu Siyong didn't have to worry about money.

He sat in the inn every day, quietly reading a book, recuperating his body, and enjoying the so-called leisure time.

On the second day of the fourth lunar month, Liu Siyong was reading a book when he heard a knock on the door.

Liu Siyong said please come in, only to see Zhu Zizhen push the door in, sit there, and watch Liu Siyong talk for a long time.

"Master Zhu, what is the matter with looking for Xiaosheng this time?"

"Brother Liu, you are very calm, and you are not afraid when you see the old man."

Liu Siyong put down the book, poured a cup of tea for Zhu Zizhen, and said to Zhu Zizhen, "I haven't done anything wrong, why should I be afraid of Zhu Mengzhu." ”

"Really? Isn't it a bad thing to take refuge in the imperial court? ”

"Count?" Liu Siyong smiled bitterly and asked Zhu Zizhen.

Zhu Zizhen drank the tea and did not speak, and after about half an hour, Zhu Zizhen said, "Your family has done its best for the Wei Dynasty, if you choose to join the imperial court, no one will say that you are wrong." The blood to be shed is almost gone, and there is no need for anything left. Then the old man asks you, are you a member of the Four Holy Divisions? ”

"I have never had anything to do with the Four Holy Divisions, and I guess this time I also failed."

Zhu Zizhen showed a sad look on his face, and told Liu Siyong that out of more than 100 people, only seven or eight people survived, and the masters of the Ghost Mansion and the Zhiwu Alliance were swept away.

"I haven't heard about the plan for this operation, and it's certainly not something I leaked. As for who it is, the alliance leader must have a clue. ”

"Do you mean Bi Yidong? He had also died in Qiyun Mountain. ”

Liu Siyong was taken aback and asked Zhu Zizhen if the news was true and if anyone had seen his body.

Zhu Zizhen said no, but many people saw Bi Yidong lying in a pool of blood, and Bi Yidong's name was in the notice posted by Yu Chao.

Liu Siyong didn't want to believe that Bi Yidong died like this, and asked if Bi Yidong died, then what should he do with the beggars now, Zhu Zizhen said that Bi Daofan took over, and now Bi Daofan is also seriously injured, and now he is healing in a secret place.

When Liu Siyong heard this, he said to Zhu Zizhen, "In this way, does the leader of the Zhu League think that I have betrayed the righteous path?" ”

"I originally thought so, but, alas, Zhu still didn't want to believe that you would take refuge in the imperial court. But everyone has their own ambitions, reluctantly, today the old man also called you a little brother, see each other in the future, we can only use the sword. ”

Liu Siyong didn't answer, continued to pour a cup of tea for Zhu Zizhen, and then poured a cup of tea for himself, replaced the wine with tea, and toasted Zhu Zizhen.

After Zhu Zizhen drank it, he said to Liu Siyong, "Little brother, now...... That's it, that's it, we're dead, and this grudge should be over forever. ”

After Zhu Zizhen finished speaking, he left here.

Liu Siyong sat there alone, he was not too dull, he felt a lot more relaxed, he originally thought about how to tell the people on the chivalrous road, his own hardships as an official, but now when he saw Zhu Zizhen, he suddenly felt that there was no need to say, sometimes, there are some things that don't need to be said, whether he is a hero or a bear, the world will naturally know in the future.

He untied a lot of knots, and his illness was almost cured, so he quickly rushed to Xiangyun Mansion, and finally on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Liu Siyong arrived at the place agreed with Tang Sai'er.

Liu Siyong cleaned the cave, and then lived a life of pillow stone gargling every day, ten days later, on the evening of May 15.

Liu Siyong watched the full moon rise and set in the sky, the woman in red never appeared, Liu Siyong stood up at dawn, and carved on the stone wall of the stone cave with the words "Chengren looks at the sun in May in the sixth year of Chengren, and the old man of Linquan Marquis does not come." ”

When Liu Siyong left here, his heart was very relaxed, and in the past ten days, he forgot about grievances and hatreds, forgot these insoluble entanglements, and gained a kind of spiritual relief.

However, he can't stay forever, he has already helped the court, so he should go and do what he should do.

Liu Siyong learned that Xiangguo Gong and his party were still in Jingming City, so after leaving here, he went straight to Jingming City.

On the way, he arrived at Songjing City, entered Songjing City, and Liu Siyong found an inn to eat.

For he had been in the mountains for ten days, and his garments were dusty, as if he had come back from the earth.

Although Xiao Er didn't despise him, after he sat down, he still asked, "Guest officer, what do you want?" The small shop has steamed buns. ”

"Let's have a few side dishes, and some rice by the way."

Liu Siyong said, took out a small piece of silver, and said to Xiao Er, "This should be enough." ”

Xiao Er hurriedly said that enough, enough, give it to the boss and weigh it, there are two taels.

The boss also smiled happily and asked Xiao Er to notify the kitchen and get good dishes.

When Liu Siyong was eating, an old beggar with a little beggar came forward and stood outside the door begging. ”

Xiao Er saw that there was money to be made, so he naturally would not refuse, and got the consent of the boss, so he asked the beggar grandchildren to come in and tell them Liu Siyong's kindness.

After the old beggar came in, he hurriedly saluted, Liu Siyong said that it was okay, and then asked where they came from.

These people were originally cultivators of the Tusi, this Tusi was abolished by the Yu Dynasty, and their land also fell into the hands of the Yu Dynasty, and the Yu Dynasty in order to stabilize the land, so the land was allocated to these cultivators according to one person and one acre. These people used to be able to live on toast, but now they have no toast and no livelihood, so they can only beg around for a living.

Liu Siyong took pity on them, but there was no way, he was not an immortal, so it was impossible to conjure up a piece of land for these people.

He asked how many beggars there were in the city, and the old beggar said that there were at least 100 people, and Liu Siyong said to the old beggar, "You wait and tell them, wait for this son to come here for disaster relief, let them all come." ”

Saying that, Liu Siyong asked Xiao Er to prepare a meal for more than 100 people, which could be porridge, but not too thin.

"Childe, you are really a living bodhisattva." Xiao Er said this in his mouth, but looked at Liu Siyong, Liu Siyong took out a silver ticket and asked Xiao Er to exchange it, let the old man eat first, and then notify him after eating.

Liu Siyong ate the food, thinking that he had changed, he used to be a beggar to deceive people, but he didn't expect to save these beggars today.

But if it goes on like this, it's not a way, it's impossible for me to support such a large group of people, and I don't know how many homeless people there are in this Xiangyun Mansion, and I can't help it alone.

These people are different from the victims, who can recover their original lives in two or three years at most, and as long as they have land, they have a livelihood.

And these homeless people, I am afraid that they will not have a chance in their lifetime, and now the only way they can survive is to earn maturity and go to other places to seek a livelihood.

Liu Siyong thought that he would always give them a career that could make a living.

But after thinking about it, I didn't have any good ideas, so I had to give up first.

When he distributed them in the afternoon, more than 100 beggars came, and in addition to the beggars, some people who could not survive also came to receive alms.

Halfway through the relief, there was an accident, a group of catchers broke in, squeezed the victims aside, and surrounded the rice buckets.

The head catcher looked at Liu Siyong and said to Liu Siyong, "What are you?" Dare to give money privately. ”

"Oh? Isn't it okay for private individuals to give this alms? Liu Siyong looked at the catcher curiously and asked.

Catch Kuai snorted coldly and said, "Naturally you can't, who knows if you are secretly making trouble with the life of relief." The lord has an explanation, and whoever wants to give money must first agree to it, otherwise he will be a traitor. ”

"This crime is really terrible, it turns out that being a good person is still in danger of being a traitor, so what do you need to do to get the county lord to agree?"

"It's simple, give the money and silver to our master, and we will naturally buy rice and grain for relief."

Liu Siyong smiled and said, "So that's the case, I have to give relief tomorrow, brothers, give a face." ”

Saying that, Liu Siyong handed over the silver that Xiao Er had recovered, took the silver, and said with a smile, "Son, it's okay, the so-called ignorant is not guilty, you please, but tomorrow, you must come to the county office and inform the master." ”

"No, I'll go to the county office, hand over the silver to the county lord, and let the county make arrangements as soon as possible."

As far as Liu Siyong is on the way, these catches are naturally not difficult for Liu Siyong, and he took Liu Siyong to the Yamen.

Liu Siyong thought that the magistrates who were selected and transferred this time should all be able to do things, how do you know that you still encounter this?

Liu Siyong entered the back hall, stayed for a while, and saw a county magistrate with a righteous face and an extraordinary appearance walked in.

After the county magistrate sat down, he asked in a straight voice, "Dare to ask where the virtuous brother is?" ”

"The mountains and grass people have seen the master, the old man Jinfu."

"No need to be polite, your business, the county already knows. It's not that this county can make things difficult for you, this is because Xiangyun Mansion has not yet been pacified, and many remnants of the Yun family are still trying to make trouble. Speaking of this, the county magistrate took a sip of tea and continued, "God has the virtue of living the people, why doesn't this county want someone to help these displaced people, but the stakes are very high, you have to be careful, please forgive me." ”

Liu Siyong didn't even dare to say that the county order was also for the sake of the people in the county, so as to avoid these small people forgetting the righteousness for the sake of small profits, and he understood the hardships of the county order, but he didn't think about it, and it was a little abrupt.

Liu Siyong said, took out a silver ticket, and asked the magistrate to help on his behalf, the magistrate nodded, and the servant on the side accepted the silver ticket.

"Lin Shanren is benevolent and benevolent, and there will only be good rewards in the future, and this county will thank these displaced people."
