After He Li, follow the reckless man to flee the wasteland and farm the fields

Chapter 217 Will Be a Very Effective Helper

It was a middle-aged man in his 40s. He used to have three beautiful beards, but now the beards are all glued together. Although he is also thin as a skeleton, his eyes are not as desperate as those of other prisoners. His eyes are very firm, and he is a person with tenacious willpower.

Qin Feng recognized him just by looking at his eyes. Isn't this Xing Ruhai, the servant of the Ministry of Rites?

This Xing Ruhai number one scholar was born in literature and martial arts and is very talented. He is an upright official who loves the people like a son. He sits upright and never accepts bribes. Why?
The yamen servant came back with the money and handed it to Ji Shuisheng. Ji Shuisheng took out two pieces of tiger meat the size of a man's palm from the pot and wrapped them in leaves and handed it to the yamen servant.

The head of the yamen obviously felt that it was too little, so two small pieces of 40 taels of silver? But his annoyance did not show on his face, but he politely discussed with Ji Shuisheng:
"Brother, we have a lot of people, can you pick two bigger pieces of meat?"

Ji Shuisheng scooped up the meat in the pot with a spoon and showed him: "My lord, they are all this big."

He was the one who cut the meat. At that time, he also thought that every time Su Qing chopped the meat, he would be the same size. He couldn't be worse than Su Qing, right?So they are all about the same size.

The yamen servant stretched his head and looked carefully for a long time. Sure enough, the meat in the pot was almost the same size.

"Then can you give us some broth? Those prisoners will starve to death if they don't eat anymore. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Please help me."

Qin Feng came over: "Since the official said so, let's put a pot in it!"

Qin Feng felt sorry for Xing Ruhai. When he was an official in the same dynasty, he felt that he was a rare talent, and appreciated his upright character and knowledge of the past and present.

If this person can be used by his grandson, he will be a very powerful helper.

"Ok."

Ji Shuisheng didn't refuse when his grandfather offered to help. The yamen servant was very happy. With the broth, the exiles would not starve to death on the road, and he and his subordinates could get a share of the reward.

Ji Shuisheng didn't serve him soup right away, the stewed meat soup was a bit salty to drink, he took out all the meat, poured in a bucket of clear water and boiled it, and then brought out a pot of soup.

When the yamen servants saw the soup coming, they hurriedly took it, took out a bowl from the cart, and scooped it up by themselves, while the exiles all looked at them eagerly.

I thought these yamen servants were kind enough to give them soup, but in the end they asked for soup in their name.

Fortunately, these yamen servants did not dare to starve these exiles to death, especially Xing Ruhai, who is a registered felon and must be escorted to Jingshi Road. Anyone can die but he must live.

The yamen servant brought the remaining half pot of soup to the exiles, and then threw down a bowl for them to line up to drink soup, and each person only served half a spoonful.

The prisoner, who was shivering from the cold wind, took a sip of hot soup and felt that it was the most delicious food in the world. His frozen body felt a little warm because of the hot soup.

Su Qing saw that her merit column was slowly increasing. These are people who are about to die. Drinking this soup is equivalent to saving their lives, so her merit will increase.

That being the case, there was still half a pot of broth left anyway, so Su Qing filled another pot for Li Daniu to send over.

The yamen servant was very happy to see that they brought another bowl of broth, and thanked them repeatedly, so they could drink another bowl now.

When it was Xing Ruhai's turn, the yamen servant filled a bowl full for him. Xing Ruhai glanced at him and thanked him, and then drank it in big mouthfuls. The hot soup warmed his internal organs.

Qin Feng walked over and handed him a boiled potato. The servants all stared at Qin Feng with unfriendly eyes. Qin Feng quickly explained:
"Officer, this old man received a meal from this gentleman back then, and today I want to repay the favor."

Xing Ruhai looked at Qin Feng in confusion, and couldn't remember when he gave this person alms?But I do this kind of thing a lot, maybe I don't remember it.

The yamen servant was drooling looking at the potatoes. It was the first time he had seen this kind of food. It was golden in color and tasted quite fragrant. Although it was not as delicious as meat, it should also look delicious.

Xing Ruhai got the potatoes and thanked Qin Feng with his fists: "I don't want to thank you for your kindness, but I will be honored by Xing."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

Qin Feng grabbed him, only to find that his body was full of wounds, the fingers of his hands that wrote all the beautiful articles in the world should have been deformed by the torture of the stick, and Xing Ruhai couldn't lift his head under the heavy shackles.

If he was not rescued by his grandson and Su Qing, he would end up beheaded or be like him, Qin Feng couldn't help but empathize with him, feeling sad in his heart, the treacherous emperor is fatuous and incompetent and cannot keep his loyal ministers.

Xing Ruhai dragged his heavy shackles to the side of the wizened wife who was sitting on the ground weakly. He didn't want to eat the potato that Qin Feng gave to his wife and child.

The yamen servant saw that his brow was twisted into a pimple, and wanted to go over and snatch it back, but Ji Shuisheng and the others were watching, so he had to pretend to be shameless.

"I've already drank the broth, come fetch water with me."

The yamen servant set aside half of the pot of broth for himself and his subordinates, and distributed the rest to the prisoners, watching them drive them to fetch water like ducks after drinking the soup.

The men were all driven to fetch water, and two yamen servants were left to watch the women and children. In fact, you don’t need to look at them. Even if you let them run, you don’t have the strength to run. Xing Ruhai must be protected because of special circumstances, so let him stay in the This breaks.

Su Qing saw that after Qin Feng delivered potatoes to that person, her merit went up very quickly, and it went up two bars at once. You must know that after the merit was promoted to the eighth level, the increase was very slow, and there was almost no movement. Today It was a pleasant surprise.

Two pots of soup were distributed, and there was still about one pot left. The young and old in Taohuawu each shared half a bowl. Although they felt sorry for the soup that was distributed, no one said anything when they saw how pitiful the exiles were.

Su Qing cut out the marinated tiger meat according to the number of people. Each person had a piece of meat, two potatoes, and half a bowl of broth. This was the best meal he had eaten in a few days.

The tiger meat is not very rotten and very chewy. Su Qing uses enough ingredients and tastes good. The more you chew, the more delicious it is. The potatoes are soft, and with the broth, the elderly with no teeth can eat it.

When the women and children in exile saw their side eating meat and potatoes, their greedy hala flowed out, and their eyes were full of desire for food.

Xing Ruhai's wife distributed the potato that her husband gave to each of the two children, and the poor pair of children suffered with their parents.

The two children took the potatoes and were reluctant to eat them, and handed them all to the mouths of their mother and father: "Father, mother, you eat."

Qin Feng looked sad, and looked at the two potatoes that he had been given. Anyway, he still has meat. These two potatoes will not starve to death, so he walked over again. The steel knife was pressed against the old man's chest.
