: Complaint to each other

The south gate of Datong, the arrow tower.

Wang Pu, who had been in a daze, was dozing in a daze. A pleasant voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "The maid comes to the army to serve the general at the order of his wife."

Wang Pu turned around when he heard the voice, and saw that the young lady was already standing in front of him in a pretty way.

Because this little girl has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, she has developed her body relatively early. Although she is just fifteen years old, she is already tall. The white military uniform she wears on her body seems to be tailor-made for her, showing her heroic posture, but the two bulging balls on her chest are gone, and it seems that the little girl is wrapped with a cloth belt.

Seeing Wang Pu keep looking at his chest, the young lady's pretty face turned red with shame and said in a low voice: "General."

"Uh." Wang Pu came back to his senses, quickly avoided his eyes, and said without saying anything, "That young lady, you look so good in this military uniform. Who made it for you?"

"It was made by the little maid himself. Is it really good?" Hearing Wang Pu's exaggeration, a hint of joy appeared on his young mother's face. She twisted her waist and turned lightly in front of Wang Pu, then turned behind Wang Pu and stood up, erecting her delicate body and said happily, "General, does the little maid look like one of your personal guards now?"

"Well, it's very similar." Wang Pu nodded and said, "But you are a man now and can't call yourself a little maid anymore. The name of the young lady must be changed."

The young lady spitted out her cute little tongue and said in a sweet voice: "Then general, please give the little one a name?"

Wang Pu thought for a while and said, "Young Mom, you have good light skills and your body is as light as a swallow, just like you can fly. Why not just call it Feiyan."

The young lady frowned and said, "But the name Feiyan still sounds like a girl?"

Wang Pu smiled and said, "Then let's go back on it and call him Yan Fei. How about it?"

"Yan Fei?" The young lady said happily when she heard this, "Hehe, this name sounds nice, and the little maid will be called Yan Fei from now on."

"General, it's not good." As soon as the Neng Niang finished speaking, Lu Liu suddenly stepped in quickly. When he saw the Neng Niang wearing Rong, he was obviously stunned for a moment. Instinctively reached out to draw the knife at his waist. But he quickly recognized Neng Niang and exclaimed, "Neng Niang is you? What are you doing here, little girl?"

The young lady wrinkled her cute little nose and said in a sweet voice: "Sixth Brother, from today on, I will be the general's personal guard, and I am no longer called the young lady. My name is Yan Fei now, which is the name the general just gave."

"Yan Fei?" Lu Liu shook his head and turned to Wang Pu and said, "General, something happened."

Wang Pu asked, "What happened?"

Lu Liu said: "Just just came to report that there were tens of thousands of refugees outside the city this morning, all of whom were kneeling outside and crying and shouting that they were going to flee to the city."

Wang Pu's heart immediately thrust tightly and asked, "Where do you get tens of thousands of refugees?"

"I don't know." Lu Liu shook his head, "but most of these people escaped from the northwest direction, so the villain probably was the evil of the guards, the stations, and the fortresses over there! Because the thieves had just arrived in Datong, they had no time to go to the northwest counties to harm the people."

The defense system of Datong Town was set up against the Mongols in the northwest. All the local guards, stations and fortresses were distributed in the narrow and long area within the Great Wall in the northwest direction, so the matter was already obvious. The only thing that robbed the people was the border troops there, not the thieves.

"These beasts!" Wang Pu slapped the table and said angrily, "I can't spare them!"

At this time, Zhao Xin, Scarface and Bearded Man also arrived after hearing the news.

Before the Scarface man entered the door, he shouted loudly: "General, should these tens of thousands of people be saved or not?"

"Of course I'll be saved." said the bearded man next to me, "How can I not save you in this world?"

Zhao Xin was the last one to come in and said in a deep voice: "But who can guarantee that there are no spies in these people? If the spies in the thief take the opportunity to sneak into the city, wouldn't it cause more people to suffer? General, the general, thinks that a small impatience will cause a big plan, and he must not open the city gate at this time."

Zhao Xin's words are not unreasonable. If the spies of the thief sneak into the city and open the city gate in the chaos, then things will be troublesome. Even if the official army can defeat the thief in the end, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses. After all, there are more than 100,000 thieves outside the city. Even if one fights ten, it is enough to fight all the official army in the city.

Wang Pu pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is Wei Daben?"

Lu Liudao: "Mr. Wei has already rushed to Ximen."

"Let's go." Wang Pu turned around and said to Zhao Xin and others, "We will go to Ximen too."

Datong West Gate.

Wei Daben was standing on the city tower and shouting loudly to the people outside the city: "Grandmen, go back, go back quickly, the thief is about to kill you, you will die..."

However, the people outside the city could not hear his voice at all, and they still knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging the defenders on the city tower to open the city gate and let them in. It was really a terrible scene.

"Sir." A Tongzhi said in a disgusting manner, "they can't hear you at all."

"Oh." Wei Daben lamented, "What should I do? What should I do?"

"Sir, look!" Another magistrate suddenly screamed, "It seems like a thief, the thief is coming!"

"Ah! The thief is here to kill?"

Wei Daben was shocked when he heard this. When he looked up, he saw a large group of people rushing over from the south. The people crowded outside the west gate immediately started to riot and fled in all directions. However, soon, the riots of the people subsided because the team did not show their weapons to chase them.

What was unexpected was that the team actually set up dozens of large marching pots outside the west gate, put rice and water into the pot, and then started cooking the porridge with a fire. In less than a quarter of an hour, the fragrance of the porridge began to float away, and the people scattered around were attracted by the fragrance of the porridge.

On the city tower, the Tongzhi said with a voice: "Master...Master. What's going on?"

Another judge also said in disbelief: "Sir, the thief seems to be giving porridge. This... the official is not dazzled, right?"

Wei Daben also widened his eyes in surprise, his face full of disbelief. In the eyes of these Ming officials, the thieves were like beasts. Didn’t they do the land just to burn, kill, and loot? But now, they are actually giving porridge to the fleeing people outside the city?

There are strange things every year, not as many this year. It seems that the government should do the land affairs of the fleeing people. Why are the thieves doing this? This official army is not like an official army, and the thieves are not like a thieves. Isn’t it all messed up?

At this time, Wang Pu arrived with his bearded man and others.

Wei Daben quickly led all the officials from Datong Prefecture to greet him. Wang Pu stopped everyone from greeting and said loudly: "Mr. Wei, you have done a good job. The land is beautiful! I didn't expect that you would do so well. You would send someone to build a porridge shed outside the city so quickly and start giving porridge to the fleeing people, haha."

"Mr. Prince Consort." Wei Daben couldn't help but look awkward in his face, and he said quietly, "The porridge shed outside the city was not set up by someone from the officials."

"Huh?" Wang Pu said in surprise. "It's not Lord Wei, you sent a person to set up a place? Who set up a porridge shed?"

Wei Daben lowered his head and said weakly: "It seems...it seems to be a porridge shed set up by a thief."

"What! The porridge shed set up by the thief?" Wang Pu was startled when he heard this, and then a hint of understanding flashed across his face and he muttered to himself in a low voice. "Li Yan, it's worthy of being Li Yan!"

"Mr. Prince Consort." Wei Daben whispered, "What should we do now?"

Wang Pu thought for a while and said, "Since the thief has set up a porridge shed outside the city, we don't have to join in the fun. However, these people outside the city are the people of Datong Prefecture and the people of the Ming Dynasty. Since you are the prefect of Datong and your parents, how can you ignore their life and death?"

Wei Daben said: "The prince-in-law means..."

Wang Pu said: "Mr. Wei, you should immediately take the yamen runners to the vassal treasury to pick up 100 stones of rice and throw them down from the city tower. If the porridge shed outside the city does not withdraw for a day, Lord Wei will throw 100 stones of food every day. In short, this porridge can be set up by the bandits. This porridge can also be prepared by them. But this rice... must be produced by our Ming government!"

"The minister understands!" Wei Daben couldn't help but blushed up on his face, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise. "Gao, really high! If you don't know, you are the prince consort. The minister admires him, admires him!"

Several co-prime ministers and judges after Wei Da were confused. They could not understand where Wang Pu was doing this. He even threw 100 stones of grain every day. As a result, the grain was produced by the government, but the people's hearts were bribed, and the transaction was a big loss.

"Why are you still standing there?" Wei Daben turned around and shouted, "Why don't you go to take rice with me?"

"yes."

A group of officials from Datong Prefecture responded and followed Wei Daben.

Outside Datong City, Li Yan was in the tent.

As soon as Jing Maocheng entered the tent, Li Hu and Li Xuan came up and couldn't wait to ask: "Old Jing, how is the matter?"

Jing Maocheng took a breath and said to Li Yan: "Master, the porridge shed is set up, and all the fifty stones of rice are cooked into porridge and given. Things are going well."

Li Hu disbelief: "Didn't the government troops in the city take the opportunity to come out?"

"No." Jing Maocheng shook his head and said, "Not only did the government troops in the city fail to take the opportunity to fight out, they also threw down a hundred stones of rice from the top of the city. The generals also asked the brothers to cook porridge and give it to the fugitive people outside the city. However, those people were very hateful. They just thanked the government officials in the city and did not thank our rebels at all."

"What?" Li Hu said angrily, "I thank the government for eating our porridge. I was so angry that I took people to demolish the porridge shed and let them all drink the northwest wind, hum!"

"Don't do anything wrong." Li Yan stopped Li Hu and said calmly, "The main purpose of setting up a porridge shed to save people and bribe people's hearts is second. Although the government has gained a good reputation now, no matter what, the tens of thousands of people outside the city finally have food and no longer need to go hungry. This will make me feel better."

The red lady opened her eyes wide and said angrily: "This must be the trick Wang Pu thought about. This dog official is really insidious. We did the work, but the good guy asked him to do it!"

"No, you are wrong, madam." Li Yan shook his head and said calmly, "Wang Pu may be very cunning, but he can't get over this matter. Through this matter, I think I already know him a little. He is different from other Ming officials in the land. He is the second Ming official I met who has the people in my heart."

"Honey," said Hong Niangzi in surprise, "You seem to admire him very much?"

"Yes." Li Yan nodded and said, "I appreciate him a little now, because if I were other Ming officials, I would never do it like him!"

"Why?" Li Hu said in confusion, "Didn't Wang Pu have gained a good reputation when he did this?"

"What good reputation?" Li Yan said disapprovingly, "The good reputation belongs to Datong Mansion, the court, and the dog emperor, but it is not his Wang Pudi. It can only be a beheaded reputation when it falls on his Wang Pu's head! Tens of thousands of people outside the city may thank him, but the censors in the court will never let him go, because the rice he gave was given through the porridge shed of our rebel army, which means that he and our rebel army are accomplices in the matter of giving porridge!"

"Ah?" Hong Niangzi said in a lost voice, "This is a serious crime to kill the nine clans."

"So..." Li Yan said leisurely with his hands on his back, "I just said that Wang Pu is different from other Ming officials. He really has the people in his heart."

"Then..." The Hong Madam blinked her beautiful eyes and suddenly asked, "Who is the other good official in the husband's mouth?"
