Chapter 849: Not allowed to enter the city
The letter was even attached to Min Feng's own handwriting, and Min Feng confirmed the fact that the embankment of Yingnanfu was leaking.
Hu Maoshen didn't know if this was true, or if it was an excuse that Li Taixing came up with, in order to perfunctory him, he only needed to send someone to verify it.
But what about Min Feng? Min Feng has only been in Yingnan Mansion for two days, did he find out personally? Hu Maoshen expressed great skepticism.
What kind of character Li Taixing is, he naturally understands. It can't be said that Li Taixing just doesn't want to accept these victims, so he has many excuses.
In order to make him believe, he actually pulled the banner of Min Feng out. And Min Feng is only the first time to take on such a major errand, and it is not unusual for him to be fooled by Li Taixing.
Hu Mao didn't believe that this could be such a coincidence, and when he didn't write to him before, he didn't hear Li Taixing's letter to inform him about the leakage of the river embankment.
But when he sent a letter saying that he asked Yingnanfu to accept some of the surviving victims of Changtianfu, Li Taixing immediately wrote to refuse, and said that the embankment of Yingnanfu was also leaking.
Whether this is true or not, Hu Maoshen is more inclined to the latter, and it is impossible to say that Min Feng has been enveloped by Li Taixing.
Hu Maoshen frowned, he knew that Min Feng was unreliable, but he didn't expect this Min Feng to be so shallow.
What to use to trap Min Feng, do you still need to guess? Naturally, it's gold, silver, and beauties, and it's all men care about these things.
"What? The river embankment in Yingnanfu is also leaking? Hoi An asked in surprise.
Hu Mao sneered, "Hang Tianfu has reported the water leak before, and there is no doubt about it now. However, he should be in the upper reaches of the Tianya River, and the river embankment is already stronger and wider than other provinces. If it does leak, the embankment will collapse even more. ”
Hu Maoshen tapped the table with his full index finger, and then said: "It is unlikely that the upstream river embankment is leaking, otherwise Li Taihang would have become an ant on a hot pot by this time." ”
Hoi An nodded, convinced. Even if those officials dare to stretch out their hands, the upstream there does not dare to go too far.
Otherwise, it will not be one state capital that will flood the embankment, but several state capitals in a row.
"Hoi An! You take someone to Yingnanfu immediately, and you go to inquire to see if this is Li Taixing's excuse. ”
To resettle these victims, Yingnanfu must be counted, and Hu Maoshen still hit Yingnanfu with his idea.
He thought about it for a moment, then changed his words: "No! Not only do you have to inquire in the market, but you also have to go to the embankment. Doesn't it mean that many people in Yingnan Prefecture spontaneously organized to strengthen the river embankment? You go to the people and ask them to see if there is really a water leak. Remember, go quietly and don't reveal your identity. ”
Hu Maoshen didn't believe Li Taihang and Min Feng, and he was unwilling to give up this good place for disaster victims.
"Let's go! Those who are officials always say let us wait, when do we have to wait? Let's go to Hangtianfu today, I don't think those officials can stop us. ”
A man dressed in indigo brown was furious, carrying a burden behind his back and a boy of seven or eight years old.
"That's right! I think these officials just don't want us to leave here, they want us to drown in this river. The other villages have gone to Hangtianfu, why can't we go? ”
Another man chimed in, and as soon as his voice fell, the crowd gathered in solidarity and approval.
"Let's go! Let's find out what kind of Qin cha is going to reason, and see what he plans to do? ”
"That's right! Let's go find him. ”
A group of villagers gathered together and walked towards the place where Hu Maoshen had settled.
The official guarding the door of the house saw a large group of villagers coming this way, and his face looked like he was not good, so he hurried in to report it.
"My lord! Those villagers came to our side, with luggage and belongings, and they were afraid that they would not be good! ”
Luggage, that must be to leave the village, these people probably can't wait to leave.
Hu Maoshen's face sank when he heard this, and then he hurriedly walked out of the room and looked outside.
"Look! It's the one who is in charge, it's he who won't let us go! ”
The people who survived here were excited, and the victims who rushed to Hangtianfu were equally angry because they were blocked from the gates of Hangtianfu.
"We have officials in our hands, why don't you let us into the city?" One of them held the road guide, and he also held two copper plates in his hand, and he shouted to the soldiers defending the city.
If it had gone according to the usual rules, they would not have dared to speak in such a tone to these ruffians.
But now they have nowhere to stay, and their hearts are anxious, so naturally they don't have a good tone.
And most importantly, they are outnumbered. This was a great migration of villages, with a total of more than 500 people.
When the soldiers defending the city saw that there were so many victims from Changtianfu, they suddenly felt bad. The prefect had instructed before that if a large number of people from the Changtian Mansion wanted to enter the city, they must not be allowed in.
If you encounter this matter, you must report it to the adults first, and Lord Deng will decide, otherwise you will be dismissed and investigated.
"Our prefect has an order, and the victims of Changtian Mansion are not allowed to enter the city!" One of the soldiers replied without squinting, one by one.
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden chaos in the back.
"Why don't you let us into the city? We also handed over the copper into the city like them, why did they stop us from the city gates? ”
One of the men was holding a baby in his hand, and his sad face was full of deep furrows.
A woman carried a toddler of seven or eight months on her back, and many pots and pans and burdens were piled up at her feet.
"That's right! We walked for several days before we arrived at Hangtianfu. If Hang Tianfu doesn't let us in, then what should we do? ”
The woman looked at the villagers who had been stopped in front of her and said anxiously.
If they are not allowed to enter the city, where will they go? If you have no place to stay, do you want to stay outside the city gates?
But there was no food or drink outside the city gates, and they could not go into the city to buy food, so should they starve to death?
When I went out, I emptied all the food in my house, and it was only enough to eat and drink on the road. At this time, he finally got to the outside of Hangtianfu City, and he was not allowed to enter the city.
This is more desolate than the city, and there are wild beasts on the mountains behind them, and what if the wild beasts of the mountains come down to feed? It's not impossible.
There are also many old and weak women and children among these people, and it is really dangerous.
Several soldiers defending the city were angry when they saw these people, and the soldiers were afraid that they would rush into the city regardless of it, so they hurriedly reassured: "It's not that you won't be allowed to enter the city, but our lord has ordered that you must report to him before entering the city." Wait a minute, we'll talk about it later. ”
The soldier glared at the newcomer who had replied earlier, this was really a dumbfounder, didn't he see that the other party was so powerful?
If these victims are provoked and there is a riot, will they be able to withstand these shrimp soldiers and crabs? It's a shameless thing.
