After crossing, I made the country in chaos

Chapter 208 The Blessing of the Common People
Hua Yao was awakened by the sound of firecrackers, and when she woke up, Bai Lu ran in with a smile and said, "Princess, the people are here to set off firecrackers and give away pig heads outside the gate of the house."

Hua Yao pressed her forehead, and asked, "Where did they get the money to buy firecrackers?" And pig's head.

"I made it myself." Bai Lu usually put on boots for Hua Yao, and said, "I heard that there are a few old people who do this. They have been making cannonballs since the day before yesterday. They have made such a bunch of earth reds in total, so I got them." Let's release it outside the gate of our house."

Hua Yao's heart warmed up, and she didn't feel noisy anymore.He put on his robe and ran out.

It was really lively outside the gate of the mansion, the red confetti of firecrackers flew everywhere, the blue smoke wrapped in the choking sulfur smell, and the splashing sparks accompanied by the "crackling" sound, all of a sudden people's spirits were raised Not a lot.

As soon as Huayao came out, someone yelled, although the dialect was incomprehensible, but immediately remembered the sound of drum music and suona, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, it was really a celebration.

"Princess." Bai Lu said loudly in Hua Yao's ear: "The common people said that today is the day to send the Stove Lord off, so they came to pay you a happy New Year. They also said that you were sent by the Bodhisattva, so that they all Live for a year."

Hua Yao smiled, looking at the people who were beating gongs and drums through layers of choking smoke, she felt indescribably fulfilled.

In the blink of an eye, it is the Lunar New Year, and it is also the first Chinese New Year that Hua Yao has crossed over.

Although this is a disaster area, the enthusiasm of the people has not diminished at all.In addition to receiving food and kowtow every day, there is another activity, which is to send "blessings" to the Bodhisattva East Palace in their hearts.

Some big and small blessing characters were written on a small piece of red cloth, some were woven by a handy woman with red-headed rope, and some children wrapped the most reluctant candy in red paper and gave it to Hua Yao. A kind of "Fu".

One day Master Qin came to report that Hua Yao saw a red spot on his hand wrapped in white cloth.At first, I thought it was bleeding from the unhealed wound, but later I realized that someone had tied a red cloth strip on the white cloth.

"Master Qin, is it better to love the people like a child, or to give your master his life to harm others?" Hua Yao asked directly without hesitation.

Master Qin's expression changed, he looked at the red cloth strip in his hand, and at the stack of files recording Thief's family background in his hand, his heart was really turmoiled for a while.

Qin Zikang interrogated many people these days. He was not from the Ministry of Punishment, so of course he would not use torture, but every time he was asked about the situation, he was shocked.

It turned out that some people would steal for two steamed buns or five Wen, and some people would steal chickens in the middle of the night just for his mother to have a bite of meat.Even after being beaten, he begged him to take the chicken back. Even if the beating paid for the chicken, his mother could still drink the chicken soup.

Just think about which of the nobles in the imperial capital still want to eat chicken?All of them are tired of delicacies from mountains and seas, so they squander money in different ways for fun.

But now it seems that one tael of silver is a family's expenses for several months, and it can feed several people without starving to death.

"Your Highness." Qin Zikang knelt down: "It is Zikang's blessing to meet His Highness in his lifetime. If His Highness does not abandon him, Zi Kang is willing to follow His Highness for life. As long as it is for the benefit of the people, as long as it is for the emperor, he will never hesitate."

Hua Yao looked at him with raised eyebrows, smiled and said nothing.

Qin Zikang lowered his head for a while, put down the file in his hand, and untied the white cloth strips wrapped around his hands layer by layer, exposing the wound.Then he slapped his injured hand on the stack of papers violently, and the blood gushed out again.
