"Down with Duan Feng and return my hard-earned money. ”

After this voice was shouted by thousands of people, the entire Ming Army Square was alarmed, and the sound and waves were mixed, and even the stone slab shook a little, shaking out countless smoke and dust.

Duan Feng saw that everyone was so excited, and his face was also flushed, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Everyone, can you calm down and listen to my explanation, is it okay?"

However, everyone still turned a deaf ear, and surrounded Duan Feng and the guards around him, completely treating them as their enemies.

"What's going on?"

When Wang Chuanzhi came here, he was also surprised, and hurriedly caught one person and asked about the situation.

The man said, "Alas. It's not about the money yet?"

"But isn't Minister Duan already here? And it seems that the relief money has also arrived. Why are they still like this?" asked Wang Chuanzhi, and through the crowd he could see the carriage resting on the square, and in the sturdy iron cage there were also heavy silver and copper coins.

The man sighed and replied, "That's right." The question is, how can they accept that the relief is only half distributed?"

"Only half of it?What the hell is going on?" Wang Chuanzhi only felt doubts in his heart, and immediately took a step and walked in the direction where Duan Feng was.

The man hurriedly persuaded, "Hey." Have you forgotten? You're just a handicapp, and if you get involved, you're going to get hurt. ”

"But we must not let this riot continue. Wang Chuanzhi refused, and continued to walk there, his legs and feet were inconvenient, ordinary people only needed a few minutes away, and he took a full quarter of an hour.

After coming to the front of everyone, Wang Chuanzhi saw that Duan Feng was trying to maintain the scene, preventing these soldiers from breaking through the defense line and robbing the money that was easy to raise later.

"Guys, can you be quiet?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were red, Wang Chuanzhi also felt a tense in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade everyone.

It's a pity that others speak lightly, and they can't stop people at all, but they are pushed by that person, "oops" some fell to the ground, caught off guard, and their bodies were stepped on a few times.

"Stop!"

Duan Feng noticed that Wang Chuanzhi was injured, and immediately raised Zhenyuan's fierce roar.

Everyone felt the concussion of their eardrums, and they felt uncomfortable and disgusting in their hearts, and they retreated one after another, but let Duan Feng squeeze everyone away and help Wang Chuanzhi up.

Looking at Wang Chuanzhi with a worried expression, Duan Feng asked, "This, are you injured?"

"It's fine. It's just a fall, it's not a big deal. Wang Chuanzhi shook his head, then looked at the soldiers present, and he hurriedly said, "Minister Duan." You'd better reassure them quickly. Otherwise, if you continue to make such a fuss, you may not know what will happen. ”

Duan Feng saw that Wang Chuanzhi's face was as usual, so he had no choice but to summon a soldier, help Wang Chuanzhi up, and then said to everyone: "Everyone. I know your difficulties, but the government also has its difficulties, so could you please be considerate of us? You must know that in order to raise these relief funds, I also went to the Executive Yuan many times, and I was able to get such a small amount of money. ”

"But you only give us half of it, what does that mean? Didn't you swallow the remaining half?"

An old man walked out of the crowd, this person was missing his left arm, and scolded Duan Feng.

Duan Feng looked embarrassed, and replied: "Isn't this a financial problem? Don't you know that in order to aid the Song Dynasty, the government spent too much money before, and there was really no money, so it took some time, and now it has been sent here?"

"Don't talk about these things. I ask you, "What about my almsgiving?" If I don't give it all today, I won't give up. But the man did not stop, and continued to argue.

"Wang Xiong!"

Wang Chuanzhi couldn't help it, and scolded directly: "Others don't know you, I don't know you yet?

Others may not know, but Wang Chuanzhi knows the identity of this person, this person is called Wang Xiong, and he is a retired soldier like him, but he relies on those retirement fees to support his family, so he has a comfortable life now. But Wang Zhi invested all the retirement money into eating, drinking, and gambling, so he went bankrupt, and he could only rely on such a small amount of relief money to survive on weekdays.

And the reason why he is here is probably because of this.

Wang Xiong's face was red, and he scolded back: "What kind of thing are you, you dare to accuse me?" demonstratively waved his left hand with no arm, and shouted: "Have you seen that my arm is a donation for the country." What right do you have to scold me? I just want to get my relief money back, what's wrong with that?"

"Heh, and you are the only one who sacrificed his life for the country, am I not right?"

Wang Chuanzhi couldn't bear it either, lifted his pants, exposed the prosthetic leg installed underneath, and replied: "See? I didn't even say, what qualifications do you have to be arrogant here?"

When the two of them said this, the rest of them also hesitated, feeling that they were too excited before.

No matter what, Duan Feng still came here with money after all, they were reasonable, and they shouldn't attack each other.

Seeing that everyone had also regained their calm, Duan Feng stood up and took the clothes on his chest, revealing the scars on his body: "Everyone." I, like you, also broke out of the sea of swords and fires, and these scars on my body are proof. ”

When everyone saw the scar, they were all taken aback.

"This scar was left by me during the First Battle of Qinzhou when I first joined the Huaxia Army. If it weren't for the lord to protect his heart with Xuan Gong, I was afraid that in that battle, I would die. And this gunshot mark was left in the First Battle of Taiyuan. That Shi Tianze is really powerful, and we also tried our best to defeat them. As for this sword mark, it was left over from the Battle of Jinghai. The battle was so miserable that there were less than 8,000 men left in the army. If I hadn't been lucky enough to practice Xuangong, I'm afraid I wouldn't be here. ”

Pointing to the scars on his body, Duan Feng told the past bit by bit.

With these words, he also fell into the memory of the past, and the comrades-in-arms who had been with him for many years did not know how many people disappeared without a trace, leaving him alone.

When everyone heard this, they were all very sad.

"So, you have been with the lord since the time of the uprising?"

After listening for a while, Wang Chuanzhi suddenly came to his senses and looked at Duan Feng with a surprised expression.

He only joined the Huaxia Army since the Huaxia Army entered Sichuan, and he didn't experience the previous incidents, but he just heard his old boss say these things, but his old boss had already gone west with the onset of his injury.

After all, it was forty years ago, and there were only less than 8,000 people who really spent this time, and after deducting those who died for various reasons, it is estimated that there are only less than 1,000 left.

Duan Feng closed his head and replied, "That's right. ”

Now in the Huaxia Dynasty, if you calculate the qualifications and age, there are only Yan Shen and Cheng Feng who are really similar to him, and as for the others, they have all died for various reasons, after all, even if the youngest person was the youngest, he would be in his sixties if he lived to the present.

He is now in his sixties, and in a year's time, it will be time to retire.

And during his tenure as defense minister, he did not allow all kinds of problems to arise under his rule.

"Hmph. Of course you can say that, after all, you are the Minister of Defense. It's not us poor people. If we don't have those relief funds, how can you let us live? Wang Xiong scolded and scolded.

Duan Feng's eyes lit up, which immediately made Wang Xiong frightened, and closed his mouth: "It's not that I said no." It's just that the imperial court is also in difficulty now, so it's only half for the time being. As for the next half, when the tax revenue is collected in the second half of the year, it will naturally be replenished to you. ”

"Minister Duan. Can you guarantee that?"

A middle-aged man walked out and asked Duan Feng.

Duan Feng's eyes were slightly condensed, and after seeing this person appear, everyone stopped talking in unison, and they all looked at this person, knowing that this person had extraordinary prestige in this protest.

It's just that he hasn't answered yet, so Wang Xiong suddenly became annoyed and interjected: "Zhang Zhi, are you planning to compromise? Who knows if this guy is not using this to delay us?"

"Wang Xiong!"

That Zhang Zhidun was annoyed, glared at Wang Zhi sideways, and scolded: "Wang Xiong." Shut up for me!" He immediately raised his head, stared at Duan Feng deadly, and asked, "Will you really make up the rest of the money to us?" After all, we are not like you, we are all poor families, if we don't have these relief funds, we really don't know how to live. ”

"You don't have to worry about this. Whatever happens, I'll make sure of it. Duan Feng patted his chest and admitted.

Zhang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "If that's the case." Then I'll believe you for a while. I just hope you don't forget your original intention, after all, we have also paid a lot for this country. Then he turned to those people and said, "Although it's only half of it, let's take it down, at least it can solve the current urgent need." As for the rest, let's discuss it and see how we can get through this time. ”

"Now that the matter has been resolved, then everything is fine. ”

Wang Chuanzhi also breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't bear to watch these comrades-in-arms starving like this, and said: "I still have some money left over at home, if you have anything missing, you can come to me, and I will naturally come forward to help." ”

"That's a nuisance. ”

Zhang Zhi bowed down, and saw that there were still a few footprints on Wang Chuanzhi's body, so he felt a little indebted: "Please forgive me for the previous incident." ”

"It's fine. As long as you are safe and sound, then all is well. Wang Chuanzhi waved his hand and said, "You better get the money quickly, don't let the people in your family go hungry." ”

Zhang Zhi replied, "This is nature. Then he took the group and received their own relief money, and then left the place, and the matter seemed to be over.

After everything was over, Duan Feng also looked at Wang Chuanzhi, and suddenly asked, "Your name is Wang Chuanzhi?"

"That's right, Minister Duan, what's wrong with you?" Wang Chuanzhi was a little curious.

Duan Feng explained: "It's nothing. It's just that I heard that the father of Wang Mu, the newly appointed governor of Songjiang Prefecture, is also called Wang Chuanzhi, so I want to ask you, are you him?"

"That's right, it's the little girl. It's just that how has she behaved since she entered the court?" Wang Chuanzhi replied.

Duan Feng smiled: "It's pretty good." You must know that under her governance, Songjiang Mansion can be said to be changing with each passing day, and it must develop in the future, and it will definitely not lose Chang'an. However, only people like you can cultivate talents like Wang Mu. ”

"It's also her own efforts, and I'm just lucky enough to take care of her. ”

Wang Chuanzhi responded, and then said goodbye to Duan Feng and left, as for the relief money, he didn't ask for the relief money, after all, he was different from those people, and his family was rich and didn't need relief money to support himself.

Duan Feng praised: "Alas. If everyone were like him, where would there be such a thing? It's just a pity. ”
