"Where am I a good person, but I am soft-hearted and can't see people suffering."

Hearing someone interject, Cheng'er's grandfather turned his head to look, but saw a man who looked lean and about thirty years old, standing not far from him, with a big grin, waving his hand and saying loudly.

Looking at the man in front of him, Cheng'er's grandfather hesitated, and was just about to say something, but the shopkeeper was already the first to say: "Uncle, the good man who helped you is this gentleman, and he bought food for you with money." Two steamed buns and a bowl of hot soup per person, which add up to more than one or two silver, is not a small amount, you have to be grateful to others. ”

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, the man waved his hand again and said: "This shopkeeper has a good reputation, I just do it easily, hundreds of steamed buns and dozens of bowls of hot soup are not worth a few dollars." ”

As he spoke, the man bowed his hand to Cheng'er's grandfather and took the initiative to talk: "I've seen this old man, the contemptible Wang Hong, I don't know what to call the old man?" ”

Cheng'er's grandfather saw Wang Hong's statement like this, and his heart was even more grateful, and he said in a trembling voice: "My name is Zhang Huan, old man, thank you for relieving us who are suffering from life, there is nothing to repay, and please ask Engong to be worshiped by the little old man!" ”

While speaking, the old man Zhang Huan was about to kneel down and salute Wang Hong.

Wang Hong hurriedly supported Zhang Huan's body, and said in a loud voice: "If you can't do it, it's just a trivial matter, but you can't be so polite to my father-in-law." ”

Zhang Huan couldn't resist Wang Hong, and after getting up, he looked at Wang Hong a few more times, and felt that Wang Hong's temperament was different from ordinary people, but he hesitated and asked: "I think that although Engong is dressed in an ordinary way, his temperament is extraordinary." I'm afraid you're doing things in the yamen, right? ”

Wang Hong was slightly surprised when he heard Zhang Huan say this, and hesitated for a moment. But he smiled and said: "My husband has good eyesight, I did work in the government in the past, but unfortunately I am upright and can't be a man, I offended my boss, and now I have been kicked out." ”

The shopkeeper on the side had a very good impression of Wang Hong, and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey! Now the DPRK and China are treacherous. It is difficult for a kind-hearted person like you to go on, and there are only those evil officials who help corrupt officials and the common people with their conscience. can rise step by step, hey! God really can't open his eyes! ”

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Wang Hong frowned slightly, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes. But there is a sigh of agreement in his mouth.

…………

Meanwhile. However, after a few words, the surrounding refugees had already gobbled up the steamed soup in their hands, and finally remembered that they should thank the well-wishers who bought food for them. After learning that this kind-hearted person was Wang Hong, they all gathered around, like Zhang Huan before, and kept saluting Wang Hong and saying words of gratitude.

Compared with the old man Zhang Huan, although they are a little late. But the attitude is sincere.

Seeing such a formation, Wang Hong still couldn't stop prevaricating politely. Finally let the refugees get up, Wang Hong asked with concern: "Where are you from?" Dragged the family here, I don't know what happened? But what happened to my hometown? ”

Seeing the well-wishers asking, the refugees felt great grievances in their hearts, and they all told Wang Hong what happened to them.

“…… This benevolent father, our lives are miserable......"

“…… The emperor wanted to tour the south, and the government said that he would build a palace, and forcibly robbed our house......"

“…… The tax is doubled, and I can't live anymore......"

“…… Sue the Royal ......"

However, so many people talked together, gossiping, their voices were chaotic, interfering with each other, and the shopkeeper on the side listened to his head big, but Wang Hong actually understood it, and he couldn't stop nodding.

After the refugees finished speaking, Wang Hong stomped his feet and sighed: "It turned out that it was not a natural disaster, but **, corrupt officials did such evil, you folks are really pitiful." ”

Seeing Wang Hong's empathetic look, Zhang Huan, an old man on the side, also said with a desolate voice: "Yes, those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, by preparing for the emperor's southern tour, levied and extorted taxes everywhere, and increased taxes again and again, and even forcibly expropriated the land and mansions on which we depended. Otherwise, if you can still eat a bite of food, who would want to travel such a long distance to leave your hometown to sue the royal court! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Huan's vicissitudes and wrinkled face were already full of old tears.

And the pedestrians and diners around them, seeing Zhang Huan's miserable appearance, all shook their heads and sighed.

In today's Ming Dynasty, traitorous ministers are in power, and corrupt officials are everywhere, although this situation is well known, but no one has a way to reverse the situation.

On the other side, Wang Hong sighed, as if he suddenly remembered something, suddenly arched his hand, and said loudly to the refugees: "Fellow villagers, if you want to go to Beijing to complain, I have some news here, but I want to inform you." ”

Seeing Wang Hong's serious expression, not only the refugees, but even the pedestrians and diners who were watching the excitement around him also showed a serious listening look.

Seeing that everyone around him was paying attention to himself, a trace of pride flashed in Wang Hong's eyes, but his mouth was upright, and he looked like he was thinking about the refugees.

"Fellow villagers, contemptible people used to work in the yamen, and I have heard some about you. However, you may not know that the preparations for the emperor's southern tour are personally responsible for the current crown prince. The crown prince is the future emperor, as the so-called one person is above ten thousand people, no one dares to offend him at all, and now the southern tour has made such a big mistake and caused such a big public grievance, although it has a great impact, but no one dares to care! ”

Hearing Wang Hong say this, the surrounding refugees were shocked.

These people are just ordinary people, they only heard that the crown prince is prestigious and virtuous, and he is supported by the government and the opposition, so he thought he was a good person, but now listening to Wang Hong's description, it seems that this is not the case.

However, although the crown prince has a good reputation, they have not seen it with their own eyes after all, and Wang Hong has just rescued them, so they can't help but believe Wang Hong's words.

Just when the refugees were shocked and hesitated, Wang Hong said again: "Actually, a few days ago, the people of Heze, Shandong Province had already gone to Beijing to file a complaint, and they were also because of the preparations for the emperor's southern tour. was pinned by local officials, and the grievances on his body are the same as those of you. However, the officials of the DPRK and China are afraid of the power of the prince. Not only did Dali Temple and the Criminal Department dare not accept the case, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate was controlled by the prince, and it was even more bent on covering up for the prince, so it actually did the thing of driving and beating refugees on the street. It's really pitiful to be bullied! Ay! ”

As he spoke, Wang Hong looked empathetic. He shook his head and sighed.

The old man Zhang Huan asked in a trembling voice, "This ...... Is this serious? ”

Entering Beijing to file a complaint is the only expectation in their hearts now, and after learning that there is no way to sue for injustice, it is naturally difficult to accept.

"It's true!" Wang Hong said conclusively: "These things. There are quite a few people who have seen it with their own eyes. Now in the capital, there are even more rumors about this, and it is not me who deceives you. ”

After these two days, all kinds of rumors in Beijing have obviously spread here, and after hearing Wang Hong say this, many passers-by and diners who have heard the rumors around have responded.

“…… Oh, yes. I've heard of these things too......"

“…… I've never heard of the time when the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate beat up the refugees in Heze in the street. I'm just watching from the sidelines, but it's a pity that the government is doing things, and we ordinary people don't dare to stop it......"

“…… I heard that the two yamen of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple were originally going to accept the case, but they were ...... by the prince."

“…… It is said that now the guards of the factory in the capital are riding out in all directions, suppressing rumors everywhere, arresting many people, and they must have been coerced by the prince, which is the prince's weak heart......"

“…… It is said that the crown prince took advantage of the preparations for this southern tour to collect hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in one go......"

“…… The prince is also greedy for silver? If it weren't for this incident, I would have thought that the crown prince would be a good emperor in the future......"

“…… Why isn't the prince greedy for silver? I have to support so many people, and I spend a lot on weekdays, so where is the amount of silver......

“…… I'll just say, the world is as black as a crow, and from top to bottom in this officialdom, I'm afraid there won't be a good person......"

………

Originally, listening to what Wang Hong said, the refugees who had benefited from Wang Hong had already believed six or seven points, but now when they heard the words of the pedestrians and diners around them, they believed it even more!

For a time, the refugees only felt hopeless to complain, and their hearts were even more desperate, and many of them were already slumped in places, crying loudly.

On the other side, the stall shopkeeper, looking at such a scene, couldn't help but be anxious. Now that the factory guards are suppressing rumors and arresting people everywhere, he has also heard that as an honest businessman, this kind of thing is even more dare not provoke.

But I didn't expect that today, because of the affairs of these refugees, not only attracted a large number of onlookers, but these people, driven by Wang Hong, are unscrupulously discussing rumors.

Thinking like this, seeing that there were more and more people gathered around to watch the excitement, and the movement was getting bigger and bigger, the shopkeeper was even more frightened, and hurriedly said loudly: "Everyone, I still have to do business here, it's not good to gather here, let's go and talk elsewhere!" ”

However, although the shopkeeper shouted loudly and even bowed to the surroundings, everyone was bent on discussing the rumors in Beijing, but no one paid attention to him.

The old man Zhang Huan, after learning such news, had no other thoughts in his heart, just took Wang Hong's hand and asked in a trembling voice: "This bengong, you have worked in officialdom, and you understand better than us, these grievances of ours are really nowhere to be said?" ”

Wang Hong shook his head and said: "It's difficult, you are now in Beijing to complain, although it is said that the local corrupt officials are complaining, but since the southern tour is in charge of the prince, you are actually against the prince by doing so!" And how can it be pleased? ”

After opening his eyes and talking nonsense, Wang Hong changed his words and said: "However, you folks don't have to be too desperate, now this matter is getting bigger and bigger, sooner or later it will stab the center of the temple, and then you folks are still expected to get justice, but there is one thing, I hope you folks must keep in mind......"

Wang Hong's words once again brought hope to the refugees, and when they heard Wang Hong's advice, they all looked at Wang Hong with blank eyes, waiting for Wang Hong to continue.

I saw Wang Hong with a serious look and continued: "After you folks enter Beijing, you can go to any yamen to complain, but you can't go to the yamen of the Dudu Procuratorate. This capital procuratorate is under the control of the crown prince, and if you go to that yamen, let alone complain about grievances, I am afraid that you will be taken into custody and imprisoned by them......"

Just when Wang Hong was "earnestly" admonishing the refugees, a team of Yayi was coming from the distance of the official road.

Among them, the leader of the team is a royal historian named Jia Simao of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

Jia Simao came here, but he was ordered by Lu Chunxiao, the imperial envoy of the right capital, to look for refugees entering Beijing along the way, and wanted to take the first step to get the status of the refugees into the hands of the Metropolitan Procuratorate! (To be continued......)
