Chapter 466, the tree fell and scattered
"Xiaolu, Xiaoyu, what are you doing here, don't go home soon." An old man in his late teens walked over, the old man was very tough, without crutches, and the children shouted in unison, "Hello old man." He obediently ran away.
"It's you, old man, please take a seat." Wei Xiaobao recognized it at a glance, this old man was the old man who was watching when he came, if he hadn't spoken, it was estimated that he wouldn't have been able to get by. Wei Xiaobao pulled the old man to sit on the hot stone he had just sat on, and moved his position again.
"Come, uncle, you smoke a cigarette, this smoke is strong, you can taste it and you will know." Wei Xiaobao took out a cigarette and handed it to the old man, looking very respectful, and did not treat the old man as a flower child who asked for food on the street.
The old man smiled and nodded, took the cigarette handed by Wei Xiaobao, held it in his hand and looked at it, reluctant to put it to his mouth, Wei Xiaobao persuaded, "Old man, although you smoke, I still have cigarettes on my body, is it used to smoke, and it is a waste province if you save it." Saying that, Wei Xiaobao handed the old man a box of cigarettes that had just been opened, but the old man said that he didn't want anything.
"Just take a puff and taste it, such a good cigarette, take a puff, and my old Li Tou will be content when he dies." Wei Xiaobao helped the old man light a cigarette, took a puff lightly, and tasted it in his mouth for a long time, after a long time, the old man spit out the smoke lightly, his eyes were half-squinted, he looked very happy, and muttered praise in his mouth, "Good smoke, good smoke." ”
The old man smoked a cigarette, and Wei Xiaobao did not seem strange, not to mention that the old man's first impression of Wei Xiaobao was very good, Wei Xiaobao also knew some of the situation here, it turned out that Qingyun Street, to put it bluntly, is really a slum in the capital, that is, a refugee camp, and there are all displaced refugees and a lot of beggars living nearby. The reason why the lonely and widowed old people who have no one to support, the orphans who have no father and no mother, etc., are all concentrated here is that the Qing Dynasty emperor ordered the refugees to be managed in a unified manner and not let them run around. Give them some relief food every month, and at the beginning they had enough food and clothing, but recently, somehow, they have become less and less, and they are basically full and hungry. Several old people have starved to death, and the young and powerful ones can't eat enough, and the thin ones are skinny and bone-covered.
Wei Xiaobao shouted angrily and smashed his fist on the stone slab. smashed the stone slab, "How can this be reasonable, is there still a royal law, where is the heavenly reason, where is justice." A group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials who are sanctimonious and rob the people, Lao Tzu wants to kill you. Wei Xiaobao was furious and wanted to go out to find someone to settle the account. But who you go to, how much can you do with your own strength? It can also save a few suffering people.
"Little doll, the first time I saw you, I felt that you were different from those who were officials, at least you treated us poor people as human beings." With a puff of his cigarette, the old man stood up, "Let's go." I haven't eaten yet, so if I don't dislike it, I'll go to my old man's house and sit down. Wei Xiaobao didn't refuse, not because of hunger, but because of what the old man said. Very intimate and kind, and the old man's trusting gaze towards him.
The old man used a broken bowl to give Wei Xiaobao rice, Wei Xiaobao did not dislike it, because Wei Xiaobao knew that this was the best rice bowl that the old man could take on the table, there were a few scattered vegetable leaves floating in the bowl, white and green, and a few grains of rice.
Wei Xiaobao learned that Lao Li Tou is the patriarch here, an old man with great qualifications, very attentive and responsible for everyone's affairs, everyone listens to him, before leaving Wei Xiaobao took advantage of the old man's inattention, put the whole box of cigarettes and the pile of thick silver tickets handed to him by Duolong into the jar of rice, Wei Xiaobao wants to believe in his own vision, this money will be used rationally by the old man, and lead everyone to live a good life.
Although more than two million, Wei Xiaobao knows where his roots are, no matter in his previous life or in this life, Wei Xiaobao is from a poor background, although he is bad and ruthless, but he never bullies the kind poor people. This is the bottom line of his life, and it is also his consistent principle of life.
Walking on the street alone, Wei Xiaobao was in a mood that was difficult to calm down for a long time, for more than a year, he had a deep affection for Kangxi, not only eradicated the fake queen mother for him, but also pulled out the tumor of Aobai, Kangxi was safe and stable as his emperor through the ages, but he didn't expect that he would end up with such an ending, just that, why suffer here, Lao Tzu has thousands of brothers on the red star, so many wives, and a lot of silver tickets, why should I stay by your side to suffer this nest. There is no master here, free to stay here, Lao Tzu resigned and quit.
However, before leaving, Wei Xiaobao still has a big thing to do, that is, please go to Aobai's house, first, Aobai's family has a lot of ill-gotten gains, anyway, it seems to be millions of taels in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", if you don't go, others will go, and you will be full. Second, it is to take Ao Jin away, this Kangxi has already promised Wei Xiaobao, and Wei Xiaobao doesn't know how to face Ao Jin now. I feel a headache when I think about it, no matter how bad Ao Bai is, after all, he is someone's father, and he is not married, so he bombarded his father-in-law and disappeared, this is an ancient and modern anecdote.
Thinking of Ziyue's incident, Wei Xiaobao went back to the Xishan base camp again, and dragged Yue Shuai out alive or dead, Yue Shuai didn't know what was going on, broke free of Wei Xiaobao's arm, and asked, "Brother Long, what are you doing here, I'm not interested in men." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, follow me to meet someone, do you think I'm still interested in an old mallet like you, I don't have time to accompany Lao Tzu's wife, it's good to be able to accompany such a stinky man, don't know what's wrong."
opened two upper rooms in Tianxiang Restaurant, one room for two people, which dispelled Yue Shuai's concerns, Wei Xiaobao told Yue Shuai to wait for his news in Tianxiang Restaurant, clean up, Wei Xiaobao rushed to the palace, met a few officials on the way, and saw Wei Xiaobao in the past are all fart reward money, this is good, as if he didn't see it, Wei Xiaobao didn't bother to take care of them, anyway, he got a vote and left, and he couldn't get along with the guys of this gang.
When he came to Shenwu Gate, as Wei Xiaobao expected, the guards didn't let Wei Xiaobao in, and in the end, it was Zhang Kangnian who came over and ordered people to open the city gate, and the trees fell and scattered, Wei Xiaobao's heart was like a mirror, in the eyes of everyone, he had fallen out of favor.
Came to the imperial study, the little eunuch told Wei Xiaobao that the emperor was cultivating in the Qianqing Palace, think about it, the head was tightly bandaged except for the eyes, and it was estimated that the folds could not be reviewed, and when he came to the Qianqing Palace, Wen Youfang stopped Wei Xiaobao, Wei Xiaobao was not angry, and said with a smile, "It's not what it used to be, Wen Youfang, good, very good, I'm waiting here, you go in and pass it on, the emperor let me in, I'll go in again, it's all right."
