God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 582 Special Dinner

street corner.

Chang Shi Yang Cheng and Si Tian Chen Hongyi walked side by side.

After a long while, Chen Hongyi sighed: "I really don't know what the court thinks, Mr. Yuchi is a good man, but he is a general on horseback, and he has no intention of governing Tongzhou. He has been in Tongzhou for many years and has made no achievements. It's getting bigger and bigger... Now, I thought that the imperial court would send a capable person to come to Tongzhou, but I didn't know that it was a child. Alas, it's okay to be a child. On the first day of taking office, he was bought by the Dou family !"

Yang Cheng also sighed: "I've been disheartened for a long time. If it wasn't for protecting my clansmen, why should I linger on?"

Chen Hongyi said: "A day like this, when will it be a head!"

The two waved their hands and parted at the next intersection.

……

"Master Hou, did we go wrong?"

Seeing more and more desolation, a large number of refugees appeared around, all of them looked at everyone numbly, someone finally couldn't help asking.

Du He smiled and said, "That's right, the dinner I prepared for you is just ahead."

Zou Lujun stepped forward and said, "Master Hou, the people in my Tongzhou lived and worked in peace and contentment, but how could they know that there were a few heavy snowfalls in winter, which caused many people outside the city to be displaced and had to flee to the city."

Du He nodded, neither sad nor happy on his face.

By the time they spoke, everyone had already arrived under the city wall.

This place is the gathering place of disaster victims in the county.

Three huge soup sheds stood in front of them. Just after eating, the victims lined up with various tools in their hands and waited for the soup.The reason why it is said to be various tools is that the government did not provide everyone with bowls and chopsticks. There is even a rough bowl polished by a stone, which looks very moving.

Du He pointed to the distance, and said: "Look, this is the dinner party I prepared for you."

Everyone looked in the direction of Du He's finger, and saw that near the porridge shed, on a dirty open space, there were five tables, and the tables were already full of bowls and chopsticks.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

But Du He took the lead, stepped forward, and sat on the table in the middle.

Du He waved his hand: "Serve!"

The guards around him immediately stepped forward, carrying a bucket of gruel, filling each bowl with gruel.

A bowl of porridge only has a few grains of yellow rice visible to the naked eye, and the rest is clear water.

The officials sat down in bewilderment.

Du He pointed at the gruel and said, "Why are you just staring blankly, eat!"

Nobody moved.

The porridge is not only thin, but also has a rancid smell. In everyone's eyes, even if it is fed to livestock, they will not eat it.

"Eat!" Du He said.

Zou Lujun said: "Hey, Lord Hou, I'm not hungry. Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness. I've had stomach problems these days! I'm not hungry!"

"That's right, Lord Hou, I'm having a stomachache too!"

"Master Hou, I'm still seriously ill and can't eat!"

"Me too!"

Everyone shrugged off.

But no one did it.

Du He said with a smile: "If you don't eat it, I will eat it!"

As he spoke, Du He picked up the bowl in front of him, drank the whole bowl of porridge in one gulp, and wiped the corners of his mouth after drinking.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Du He actually drank such a stinky thing without blinking his brows.

He is the Marquis of Huyi County!

Still a son-in-law!

He is the son of the right prime minister!
Before everyone could react, Du He suddenly threw the bowl on the ground.

wow.

boom.

Du He slapped the table and said angrily: "I've already finished my porridge, now it's your turn, whoever dares not to eat will not give me face today!"

Good guy, as soon as this movement came out, the surrounding people gathered around one after another and watched from a distance.

At this time, Yu Chigong stood up, picked up the bowl, and said: "I am heartbroken, the people under my rule actually eat this kind of porridge to survive, the victims of the disaster can eat it, how can I not eat it..."

After finishing speaking, Yu Chigong drank it in one gulp.

After Yu Chigong finished drinking, he slammed the bowl...not because he was angry, but because the drink was so bad that he frowned and almost spit it out.

Yuchi Gong glanced at Du He in surprise.

He was very surprised why Du He, who had always been pampered, could drink it without changing his face.

Then, Yuchi Gong said angrily: "Drink everyone, anyone who doesn't drink will not give me Yuchi Jingde face!"

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.

In the end, they all drank the bowl with one hand and pinched their noses with the other.

Three people vomited on the spot.

Dou Xianren and Zou Lujun squatted aside and began to retch.

Du He watched all this coldly.

When everyone had vomited, he asked slowly, "Who is in charge of the porridge for the victims?"

A chubby guy stood up, who was the first to vomit just now, and said tremblingly: "I report to Lord Hou, I am in charge."

"If my memory serves me right, you are the Tongzhou Sihu Fangzhou character?" Du He asked.

"Exactly!"

Seeing Du He's cold eyes, Fang Zhouzi broke into a cold sweat.

This young Lord Marquis has no rules at all, sometimes he is smiling and friendly, and sometimes he is as cold as ice, which makes people completely unpredictable.

Du He snorted, and asked: "Years ago, His Majesty issued an imperial decree, ordering all regions to do a good job in resettling the victims, and also allocated money and food from the imperial court to various places for disaster relief. I ask you, according to the imperial court's standards, each How much is the daily ration of the victims converted into Kaiyuan Tongbao?"

"what……"

Fangzhou's handwriting seemed to be struck by lightning, and he was stunned. After a long time, he said slowly: "To the Marquis, it's...five cents."

The expressions of everyone around changed drastically.

In Tongzhou, this is a matter of tacit understanding. The standard of money and food issued by the imperial court is about five yuan per day for each victim, but after layers of deductions, it finally reaches the mouths of the people. None.

Who knew that Du He would mention it at this time.

At this time, Dou Xianren finally understood.

It turned out that all of Du He's kindness just now was just pretending.

Now, this guy finally showed his true colors.

"To suffer..."

Dou Xianren screamed in his heart that it was not good, he was about to speak when he saw a large number of guards appearing around him at some point, surrounding everyone.

He didn't know any of these people, they were all Du He's subordinates and Yu Chigong's personal guards.

I just heard Du He sternly scolded: "Bold Fangzhou, you are the householder of the same state, and you are in charge of disaster relief, but you secretly deduct the people's rations. You deserve to be killed, and you deserve to die. Someone, come and take him down. Arrested to the prison of the Tongzhou government office, and tomorrow morning, please ask the governor to interrogate him strictly. His Majesty said that the king is a boat, the people are water, and water can carry a boat and overturn it. The people are the foundation of the country, but Are you worthy of the common people of the same state, your Majesty? Are you worthy of the expectations of the Inspector-General?"

"Master Hou, you are wronged!" Fang Zhouzi shouted.

It's a pity that Du He didn't listen to the explanation at all, and someone took him away with a wave of his hand.
