『ps: Please vote for 4,000-word chapter~』

The following text

"Manager Wang."

Just when Wang Zhi was still cursing at the refugees, Zhao Yu had already walked up to him.

Wang Zhi didn't care at first, and saw a child about ten years old walking to him, subconsciously laughing: "Who is the family..."

Just as he said two words, he suddenly noticed Zhang Ji and Zheng Luo standing beside Zhao Yu.

He didn't recognize Zhang Ji, but Zheng Luo knew him. At this moment, seeing Zheng Luo also standing beside Zhao Yu, his attitude was like a subordinate and a follower. Wang Zhi immediately realized that the child in front of him was not simple.

"You are..." he asked in doubt.

Zhao Yu bowed and said, "I am the second son of the Marquis of Luyang Township, Zhao Yu."

When he introduced himself, he suddenly smelled the pungent smell of alcohol from Wang Zhi opposite him, which made him frown.

"The second son of the Marquis of Luyang Township?"

Wang Zhi raised his eyebrows, then a little smile appeared on his face, and he bowed: "It turned out to be the second son of the Marquis of Zhaoxiang. He was rude and rude. Wang Zhi was the manager of the Marquis of Ruyang."

When he said the four words "Ruyang Marquis Mansion", his face was full of arrogant. Obviously, he was very proud and proud of this identity.

After introducing each other, Wang Zhi first asked Zhao Yu: "How did the Second Young Master come to such a place? I forgive Wang for saying that this is not the place where a noble person like the Second Young Master should come." As he spoke, he glanced at the refugees around him with contempt.

I have to say that in fact, Wang Zhi is still quite polite and respectful to Zhao Yu, but even so, Zhao Yu still has no good feelings for this person.

Ignoring Wang Zhi's words, Zhao Yu asked with a faint smile: "Manager Wang, have you drunk?"

"Uh?" Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently: "I just drank some wine, which made the second young master laugh."

Zhao Yu smiled slightly and said, "I feel it out. Manager Wang seems to have drunk a lot just now. Why not do this? Manager Wang goes to Zheng Village to take a break in advance to relieve his alcoholism. What do you think?"

Wang Zhi was obviously not stupid either. Of course, he could hear that Zhao Yu was tactful and told him to get out. His attitude suddenly became cold and he looked at Zhao Yu with a gloomy face, as if he was weighing something.

After a while, he said to Zhao Yu seriously: "Mr. Wang... doesn't understand the second young master's meaning."

As he said this, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

But when facing Zhao Yu, he was indeed a little worried. After all, Zhao Yu's identity was not simple, but he was also unwilling to be driven away by Zhao Yu, a ten-year-old child, just a few words.

Unwilling to accept it, he also felt puzzled, because he thought he had never met the second son of Zhao Xianghou, let alone offend the other party. He was polite and did not miss the politeness when he met. Why did the other party become so rude as soon as he met?

Seeing that the other party was ignorant and pretended not to understand his hints, Zhao Yu frowned and then made it clear: "Since that's the case, I'll just say it straightforwardly... I just heard that Wang Guanshi humiliated the refugees here for no reason. I think this move is not appropriate. If Wang Guanshi cannot correct your behavior, then I hope you leave here and don't affect the release of food."

When the refugees nearby all looked at Zhao Yu with surprise and surprise when they heard Zhao Yu speak for him and others, the initial indignation was slightly relieved by Wang Zhi's humiliation.

At this time, Wang Zhi also understood the reason why Zhao Yu was dissatisfied and suddenly said: "So that's it. It turns out that the second young master is pitiful to these untouchables. I thought I offended the second young master somewhere..."

After saying that, he shook his head and said to Zhao Yu: "Wang didn't know why the second prince favored these untouchables, but Wang thought that the second prince really didn't have to pity them. These untouchables were originally from Jingshui and Wancheng. Because of natural disasters in their hometown, they fled to neighboring counties without permission, regardless of the national laws. It was like locusts passing through the border and robbed the neighboring counties. I believe that the same situation in Guixian County is right?... I talked to Zheng Luo yesterday that the fields on your mansion have been stolen and robbed by these refugees in the past few months, right?"

“…”

Zhao Yu looked back at Zheng Luo, and Zheng Luo said with a sad face: "Second Young Master, Bei Zhi just said casually..."

Wang Zhi smiled and continued to say to Zhao Yu: "In short, you really don't need to pity these untouchables. Although these untouchables were harmed by natural disasters, according to the national law, they should stay in their hometown and wait for relief from the court. However, these people fled their hometown without authorization and came to harm other counties, causing food shortages in other counties and further expanded the disaster situation. Do you think they are not willing to die?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhao Yu could speak, he could not help but shout: "The court has never sent anyone to provide disaster relief!"

Immediately, some people spoke out from the refugee group.

"I waited for two months and ate all the food I could eat at home, but the court never sent anyone to release food."

"Do you want me to stay in my hometown and wait to starve to death!"

"If the court sent people to provide disaster relief, do you think we are willing to escape here? I won't even come if I invite me!"

"shut up!"

Wang Zhi cursed angrily: "I am talking to the second young master. What qualifications do you group of untouchables have to interrupt?"

After saying that, he said to Zhao Yu again: "Second Young Master, you see, these refugees have no etiquette and upbringing. In order to survive, they can be blind and do whatever they want. What is the difference between them and locusts? The second young master really doesn't have to pity them. Give them some food so that they can survive. These untouchables should be grateful!"

After hearing Wang Zhi's words, Zhao Yu said seriously: "I don't deny that the refugees who have poured into my Luyang County have indeed done some bad things to survive, such as sneaking to the fields of the marquis' mansion in my town, stealing, looting unripe crops in the fields, and even gathering people to siege my barn, threatening to set fire to the barn if they don't release grain..."

Hearing Zhao Yu's words, Wang Zhi's smile became stronger and stronger, while the refugees looked even more ugly, and their expressions were ugly, not entirely because of anger, perhaps just because of shame. After all, they also knew that all what Zhao Yu said was true.

Even among them, perhaps someone has done such a thing.

At this moment, Zhao Yu changed his mind and continued, "...but that's all in the past. In the past, refugees had no way to survive and could not see hope of survival, so they did such a behavior. At present, our Luyang County has implemented a measure of labor-for-relief. This move not only gives refugees hope to survive, but also allows them to reform themselves."

He reached out and pointed to the refugees behind him and said seriously: "I don't pity them. They used their hard work in exchange for filling their stomachs. This is a consensual move. They don't need me or anyone's pity."

Speaking of this, he looked up at Wang Zhi and said in a deep voice: "What Manager Wang said may make some sense, but I do not agree with it. The refugees working here are at least those who are diligent, down-to-earth, and peaceful and peaceful, and who exchange their food for food. I do not think that Manager Wang should despise them or even humiliate them... These people should not be discriminated against!"

Waiting for Zhao Yu to finish his words, there was no sound around him.

Those present, whether it was the young and strong Zheng Township or the refugees queuing up to receive food, were staring at Zhao Yu intently.

The next moment, there were suddenly applause around, sparsely.

Those were those refugees who had never been cheating and cheating. Seeing Zhao Yu defending them from the bottom of his heart, they couldn't help but use their hands to tug at the second young master for being able to face them.

Immediately, the applause became louder and louder. It was thought that those refugees who had acted lazy also joined in with more or less ashamed, even the young and strong people in Zhengxiang.

The applause continued for a long time, and Wang Zhi looked around, his face looked a little ugly. He snorted and said, "It's really surprising that the second young master is so good at winning people's hearts..."

"This is not to win people's hearts, but to discuss things." Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Those who work hard for food should be respected... I don't owe him, nor do I owe me, both are equal."

Looking at Zhao Yu's calm expression, although Wang Zhi was angry that he had been preached by a ten-year-old child, he didn't know what to say at this time.

And at this moment, a voice suddenly asked weakly: "That... Manager Wang, the second young master, can you scoop a bowl of porridge for the bitch first? The bitch has been waiting here for a long time..."

Some familiar voices made Zhao Yu subconsciously turn over. At this moment, he noticed that the woman with two children was already standing in front of the team, with a look of uneasiness.

Wang Zhi was already angry and cursed angrily when he heard this, "I didn't know that I was talking to the second young master?"

Hearing the scolding, the woman shook her whole body. The half-grown child beside her also hugged her mother's waist tightly and looked at Wang Zhi with fear.

"I didn't notice for a while, did she and her mother have not received the porridge yet?"

Thinking in his heart, Zhao Yu raised his hand to signal a young Zhengxiang who was releasing food, and calmly ordered: "Give it to her."

The young and strong man in Zhengxiang nodded and immediately scooped a bowl of porridge for the woman.

However, the woman took the wooden bowl full of porridge but did not leave. She looked at the child tied to her chest, looked at the half-grown child beside her, then bit her lip, endured the shame and said, "Yes, can I give the bitch more? The bitch has two sons, and the eldest son is growing..."

Wang Zhi immediately started cursing when he heard this, "Each person has a bowl, why can you ask for more?"

The woman was startled and said with fear: "Manager Wang, my son has also done his best to pretend to be a slut with the slut, and has never been lazy. Can you give me half a bowl of extra...just half a bowl..."

Wang Zhi seemed to have caught a chance. After secretly looking at Zhao Yu, he sneered: "Insatiable!... Do you think others will agree?"

The refugees nearby were already disgusted with Wang Zhi. When they heard this, some of the refugees in line immediately shouted: "I agree!"

In an instant, voices of recognition came one after another.

"I promise!"

"I agree too!"

"I don't agree with others. As for Ma, her little boy is indeed doing his best!"

"Ma's family...?"

Zhao Yu looked at the woman for a long time, then looked at Wang Zhi with interest, and looked ugly as Wang Zhi was criticized by the group of refugees.

Immediately, Wang Zhi scolded angrily: "You promised to be useless! You damn untouchables..."

His words came to an abrupt end because Zhao Yu spoke at this moment, and the latter calmly asked the child beside the woman and said, "That child, have you done your best?"

Although Zhao Yu's age seems to be a few years older than that child, the child seems to know that Zhao Yu has a noble identity and nodded with a little awe and said, "Well, I have also worked hard. Although my strength is not as strong as that of an adult, I have worked very hard to help my mother carry the soil together..."

Zhao Yu smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Since you have put in your strength, you will naturally get food. This is the rule here. Considering that your strength is not as strong as an adult, I will give you half a portion..." After that, he turned around and asked the refugees who were queuing up: "Do you have any objections?"

"No objection." The refugees said in unison.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu smiled slightly, and under Wang Zhi's ugly gaze, he ordered Zheng Xiangqing, who was releasing the food, to say, "Give him half a portion."

"Yes." Zheng Xiangqingzhuang nodded and scooped half a bowl for the child.

The child took the bowl and sniffed it intoxicatingly. Then he turned his head and said to his mother, "Mom, I have it too. You don't have to give it to me anymore. You didn't eat enough for the last few times..."

"Silly kid."

The woman rubbed her son's hair with pampering and heartache, then secretly glanced at Zhao Yu and said softly: "Thank you, the second young master."

Zhao Yu replied calmly: "It is the rule here to exchange labor for food. Since you have worked hard, you can get food, and you don't need to thank you."

That being said, the woman thanked Zhao Yu again. After all, she also understood that although the rules were rules, if Zhao Yu had not spoken, her mother and son might not have had the chance to get an extra half serving of food.

"Thank you, the second young master." The child also expressed his gratitude to Zhao Yu.

However, after expressing his gratitude, the child suddenly stuck out his tongue at Wang Zhi and made a face with obvious disgust and disgust.

Wang Zhi was already holding his anger, and suddenly saw a child among the untouchables who dared to stick out his tongue and make faces at him. The fire in his heart suddenly emerged.

"Little Bunny."

He immediately picked up the spoon from the wooden barrel in front of him and smashed it hard at the child.

With a bang, the wooden spoon hit the child's head. He couldn't hold the wooden bowl in his hand, and the wooden bowl immediately fell to the ground.
