Almost an hour, Wei Yue four people with a clean wash, wearing brand new clothes of the little beggars into the box, the table has been filled with a variety of exquisite dishes, all the color and smell, hooked a few little beggars' stomachs like beating drums, Shen Liang and others couldn't help but laugh, raised their hands to beckon them to sit down.
"Eat quickly, talk when you're full."
While speaking, Shen Liang smoothly clipped a big chicken leg stewed soft and rotten to the little beggar closest to him, the little beggar swallowed his saliva, and after whispering thanks, he ate it and ate it, looking at their gobbling appearance, the smile on Shen Liang and Pei Yuanxi's faces was much lighter, they were afraid that they had never really filled their stomachs, right? It's good to see that they are thin one by one, and they are dirty and dirty, but now they are cleanly washed, but they look even more dry and thin.
"You eat slowly, be careful not to choke, and no one will rob you."
"Hmm... Uncle, good times..."
"It's delicious, you can't eat it in such a hurry, hurry, drink the soup."
"Thank you, thank you..."
"Good times..."
Worried that they would choke, Wei Yue and several people all became inferiors, one by one to serve them soup and pass water, the little beggars ate their mouths full of oil, had long forgotten what reserved was, gulped and kept stuffing food into their mouths, During the period, he did not forget to vaguely say that it was delicious, and all of them smiled into two attractive crescent moons.
"Eat slowly, it's not enough, let's continue to call."
Shen Liang did not move the chopsticks, even if it was noon, when it was time to eat, seeing that they were so satisfied, he also felt that his stomach was full, but Pei Yuanxian cut a fruit into small pieces and fed it to his mouth, Shen Liang did not refuse, and opened his mouth to bite.
"Buckle!"
There was a knock on the door, and before they could respond, the sliding box door was pulled open from the outside, Murong Yu and Wei Tan walked in one after another, the little beggars stopped eating in unison, they were a little embarrassed to look at the two who came in and Pei Yuanfu, Murong Yufufu saw the two sitting in the main seat at a glance, although their appearance was slightly different, but those eyes and temperament still did not change.
The husband and wife looked at each other, and Wei Tan couldn't stop laughing: "I said Liangliang, how did you make yourselves into this virtue?"
While speaking, the two walked towards them, and Fan Zhongyunfu gave them their seats.
"Microserver private visit, how can you do it without doing some disguise? Why are you two here? I'm not telling that Wang Treasurer not to tell you.
Earlier, from Wang's reaction, he guessed that he would definitely inform Murong Yu, but he didn't expect that their husband and husband would really come together.
"Idle at home is also idle, just when daddy took Yuyu to Xiayang Royal Mansion to play with Xiaoshi and them, let's take a look, what's going on with these children?"
Early this morning, Uncle Wei and Lao Lin brought small stones to Murong's house, and I don't know how, they talked about Princess Xiayang, just when Yito was going to Xiayang Royal Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to Princess Wangye, they simply went together, I heard that Xiao Zhuozi also took the child to make fun, originally they also wanted to go, this is not to hear that they are going out of the palace today, I am afraid that they suddenly ran to Murong's house and can't find anyone, Who knew that they didn't wait for the emperor's husband to come, but they received news from Wang, saying that they were here, and he and his husband simply came directly.
"It's okay."
Following his gaze to look at the children who were too restrained to eat anymore, Shen Liang smiled softly: "Don't be afraid, they are my friends, just call Uncle Murong and Uncle Wei."
"Uncle Murong, Uncle Wei."
The five little beggars had already listened to Shen Liang's words, and shouted in unison as soon as they raised their heads.
Although Murong Yufu didn't know why, he still smiled kindly back: "Well, you guys eat quickly, it's not delicious when it's cold in winter, it's not enough for me to send them again."
When he came, Wang had already told them simply, these children were all little beggars, with their understanding of Liangliang, he would not pick them up for no reason, there must be some arrangement, and they were already fathers, these children were not much older than their family, which more or less aroused their pity.
"Eat, Uncle Murong, what they have is money, and they are not afraid that you will eat down."
"Say what?"
"Haha..."
Shen Liang's joke attracted Old Wei's angry and funny eyes, everyone couldn't help but laugh, and the children's tension and restraint eased a lot, and they looked at each other and buried their heads in eating, but they didn't gobble up like just now.
"Where do you all live?"
With these children there, a lot of words are not easy to say, Shen Liang and others drank tea in silence, seeing that they had eaten almost before asking casually.
"Hmm... We live in a small abandoned yard. The little beggar closest to him swallowed the braised pork in his mouth and obediently answered his question, Shen Liang nodded: "Is it just you?" Is there anyone else?
As far as he knew, there were indeed many abandoned yards in the slums of the outer cities, where many beggars gathered, and most of those yards were in disrepair and dilapidated, and the weather could not shelter the wind and snow.
"Hmm..."
Another little beggar shook his head: "There are still many people, everyone gathers together, we used to beg every day or... Well...... Anything stolen will be taken out and handed over to Grandma Chen to boil, one person drinks a bowl of hot omnivous soup, but Grandma Chen couldn't stay up some time ago and froze to death, when the government came to collect the corpse, it said that Jingzhaofu built a shack in a unified manner, let everyone go together, many old people and adults went, at first we also went, but not long after we escaped again..."
Saying this, several children lowered their heads in frustration, It seems that something sad has come to mind.
"Why? Doesn't it mean that this is the policy of benefiting the people proposed by the queen? Everyone gathers together, as long as they are willing to work, it will definitely be no problem to survive the cold winter safely, how can you run out?
Quietly exchanging glances with Pei Yuanxian and the others, Shen Liang asked suspiciously, could it be that Jing Zhaoyin still dared to make some small moves under their noses?
"Because... Because those servants didn't treat us like human beings at all.
The eldest little beggar gritted his teeth and continued angrily: "We were originally six people, and there was a ten-year-old Shuang'er, but he died in two days, the official said that he froze to death, we didn't believe it, quietly asked many people, and led the official to look at his body, and found that he was covered in pinching marks, his lower body was still bleeding, he was insulted to death, not only Shuang'er and the little girl, Good-looking boys will also be insulted by those officials after washing, and even some older beggars will ... We couldn't avenge our friends, so we had to run away.
The little beggars all had red eyes, originally thinking that if they entered the shack where the government house the beggars, they would be able to mix food and clothing, so as not to freeze to death, but they did not expect that those people in the official government were too black-hearted, if they did not escape, sooner or later they would be killed alive.
"Touch!"
Pei Yuanxian slapped the arm of the chair, and the smile on the faces of Shen Liang and others also disappeared, but they didn't expect that their policy of benefiting the people turned out to be a kind thing to do wrong, accelerating the death of the people, Lang Lang Qiankun, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, the people of Jingzhaofu dared to act so arbitrarily and rush people's lives, Are there still emperors and the law of the Great Xia Dynasty under their eyes?
The little beggars were startled, and they all shrunk their necks and looked at them fearfully, Pei Yuanxian couldn't care about them now, and summoned Tianshu in a deep voice: "Immediately send people to various shelters in the imperial city to secretly investigate, I will know the exact facts before tomorrow morning."
"Yes."
Tianshu came and went without a trace, the children were scared, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out, Shen Liang calmed down a little and raised his smile again: "Don't be afraid, he is not angry with you, he is angry with those officials, what are your names?"
He really didn't expect that the officials of Jingzhao Mansion would be so daring, they were afraid that as long as they didn't freeze people to death again, no one would care, right? But it is also true, they have too many things to do, the so-called dark under the lights, sometimes they ignore the tragedy staged under their noses, which is also their regulatory dereliction.
"We don't have names, everyone else calls us little beggars."
Several children shook their heads, since they can remember, they have been little beggars, usually in order to distinguish each other, they are called Ah Da Ah Ah Two Ah Three according to their age, and many children who used to live together are like this.
"Well, how old are you?"
He had also contacted a lot of refugees and beggars in the Qin Kingdom, and Shen Liang did not feel strange, some of these children were abandoned by their parents and raised by beggars, it was normal to have no names, and even most of them were black households.
"I'm twelve."
"I'm eleven..."
"We are ten years old..."
Several children replied in unison, the oldest was already twelve, Shen Liang and the others were not surprised, after all, they were all too skinny, and before that, they had always thought that they were only ten years old at most , I didn't expect that the youngest were ten years old.
"Okay, then I'll ask again cautiously, are you willing to follow me?"
To say that you are not distressed is a lie, Shen Liang has been ruthlessly fond of children from his previous life to this life, these poor children are too distressing, compared with their little buns, it is simply one by one.
Murong Yufu did not feel strange when he heard this, they could also see that these children were good in nature, Liang Liang was a person who liked children, and it was too normal to rescue a few children.
"This..."
Instead, the children looked at each other with some hesitation, if they hadn't met such an official before, they would definitely nod without hesitation, because they had been deceived and lost a little friend, they did not dare to trust others easily, for fear that they would fall into another terrible wolf's den.
"Silly child, don't think that the whole world is a bad person because of a deception, there are still many good people in this world, cool is not a bad person, you can also feel it, right?"
Fan Zhongyun, who had also had the experience of begging, stroked the child closest to him with distress, he could feel their mood, he was also lucky at the beginning, he met the cool, otherwise he and his son were afraid that they would have died a long time ago, how could they reunite with their husband who escaped from death, and the family lived with Meimei?
"Ah Da."
A little beggar reached out and pulled the eldest child's clothes, looked at Shen Liang with red eyes and whispered: "Uncle Liang is a good person, he has the smell of his father, do we believe that he is good?"
He hadn't seen his father, but he believed that if his daddy was still alive, he would definitely be as gentle as Uncle Liang.
"Honestly, we don't have a dad."
Ah Da also looked at Shen Liang, the eyes of several children were red together, they are all orphans, if they can, who doesn't want to have a father and father, growing up under their love and pity?
