Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

In the early morning of the next day, not long after Gu Yunji woke up, he was about to do a simple morning exercise in the academy, when he saw a large group of people surrounded by the mountain gate, noisy and discussing something.

"It takes more than half an hour to travel from the foot of the mountain to the academy, so far, can they run up?"

"I've been hungry for so long, and my eyes were so red last night. Why can't I do it? It is said that there are thousands of people who crashed into the city gate alone, and many of them fled to various villages. Our academy is located in a remote place, and outsiders looking for it If you don’t reach the road, only a dozen or so have slipped up.”

"It is said that there was a lot of trouble at the East City Gate last night. Those refugees rushed forward one by one like desperately, almost letting them into the city. But officers and soldiers are officers and soldiers after all, and their fighting power is not comparable to these mobs. After that, they were quickly restrained."

These words reached Gu Yunji's ears, and his scalp tightened when he heard them.He walked over and found that there were pools of dark red blood on the open space surrounded by the crowd - it was left by the refugees who wanted to rush into the academy to make trouble last night, but were stopped by the officers and soldiers.

The corpse had been dragged away a long time ago, and the scene was basically cleaned up. Only the dried blood that hadn't been dealt with in time told the tragedy of last night.

These are human lives, living human lives.In just one night, it was gone.

Gu Yunji suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, which made him unable to breathe.Even though he has adapted to his identity in this life and to this hierarchical and orderly feudal society, he still cannot face the deaths of these refugees without burden, because he still cherishes and respects life in his bones.

"Yun Ji." Cheng Yan walked towards him, "Are you okay? Are you scared?"

Gu Yunji pulled his pale lips, forced a smile: "It's okay, it's just that I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and it's much better now."

Cheng Yan looked at the blood on the ground and felt a little heavy: "I heard that nearly a hundred refugees died last night, and there were countless wounded. There were also casualties on the officers and soldiers side, but overall it was much better than the refugees. So far There is still chaos outside the city, and I don’t know when it will settle down.”

Gu Yunji asked: "Did the government issue a notice on how to deal with it? Now that the matter is up to now, they won't still want to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and continue to drag it on?"

Cheng Yan sighed, and said: "I was just about to tell you this. Xu Shanchang also asked the magistrate about the resettlement of refugees before, but he has been prevaricating and evading, and now dragging and dragging out a riot, Xu Shanchang really I can't sit still anymore, and I'm about to go down the mountain to visit the government office, let the two of us follow him together."

Hearing this, Gu Yunji's eyes narrowed, he grabbed Cheng Yan's arm and immediately turned around: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go now!"

In the government office of Hangzhou, Lu Xianzhi was so busy that he was so busy that he encountered a subordinate who had to come to ask him about everything, so he lost his temper:
"Should the injured refugees be treated? Do I need to teach you this? Don't you just watch them die like that, and wait until more and more people die, and the matter can't be controlled? The Shangguan blamed me and dismissed me You are happy with your job, right? You idiot!"

"I told you not to throw the corpse directly in the mass grave! Let you find a secluded place to bury it collectively, don't you understand me!"

"Tell the academic officer Zhao Feng that there will be no classes in the government school for the next two days, let the students stay at home honestly, and take care of those young masters who only make trouble and like to join in the fun, I get annoyed when I see them!"

The subordinate bowed his body and buried his head low, not daring to breathe.It wasn't until Lu Xianzhi finished cursing that he wiped off his sweat tremblingly, and took his life out.

Lu Xianzhi held his anger in his chest and scolded him for a long time without taking a breath. Now that he was gone, he felt a burst of dizziness caused by lack of oxygen, and sat down weakly propped up on the table.

The master saw that his anger had passed, and said at the right time: "My lord, Master Xu Shan of Luxi Academy has come and said he wants to see you."

"Xu Shanzhang?" Hearing this, Lu Xianzhi raised his eyelids, "Invite him to the living room, and I'll go there right away."

Even though Xu Chengyu has no official position, his prestige is still there, and he is his teacher, so he still has to see him no matter what.

A moment later, with an official smirk on his face, Lu Xianzhi stepped into the door of the living room, and warmly greeted Xu Chengyu: "Oh, Mr. Xu, why don't you tell me in advance if you want to come, I'm so early Here's some tea for you."

Xu Chengyu dodged Lu Xianzhi's movements calmly, and asked lightly: "Master Lu, do you still want to procrastinate? The old man has nothing else to do here today, just want to ask Master Lu about the resettlement of refugees. How to solve it?"

Lu Xianzhi didn't expect Xu Chengyu to be so direct. Hearing the words, his expression froze, and then he quickly returned to normal. He made an excuse that he didn't know how many times he said:
"Mr. Xu, it's not that you don't know that the refugees came suddenly, and the court hasn't issued a specific resettlement regulations. I'm a small magistrate, without the instructions from above, how can I dare to do it arbitrarily?"

Xu Chengyu didn't like him, and said with a light snort, "The collection and resettlement of refugees is one of the evaluation criteria for the performance of local officials. Where is there no flood or drought? There are refugees all the time, and it's not just this year. Normally, Lord Lu knows to take over the place without the need for an order from the superior, so why is it not working this time?"

Lu Xianzhi was choked up by the question, and after a while he said, "I'm the magistrate of Hangzhou Prefecture, and this is my jurisdiction. If the local people become refugees, I can't just sit idly by. But this time the refugees came from the north. Those who came here were originally out of my control, and the court hasn’t said anything yet, so why should I take the risk and overstep my authority to resettle them?”

"Lord Lu!" Gu Yunji was about to laugh angrily, and immediately stood up, "It's just a matter of serving a few bowls of porridge and building a few sheds, and it doesn't take much effort. Is it worth your lord's worry and hesitation?"

Between Lu Xianzhi and Xu Chengyu, at least there is still a teacher-student status, so he can be patient and talk to each other with a low profile.But Gu Yunji was just a student, with no official position, so his attitude towards Lu Xianzhi should be respectful, not the questioning tone just now.

Reminiscent of Gu Yunji and Ren Yingze's flamboyance at the entertainment fair, Lu Xianzhi felt more and more that he was arrogant because of his talent, and he didn't know the heights of heaven and earth. Hearing this, his face became serious, and he reprimanded in a cold voice:

"Ignorant boy! Do you think things are really so easy? Do you need to raise funds and buy food to resettle the refugees? Do you want to recruit civilians to build houses? Do you want to mobilize the army to maintain order? One by one, which one is not momentum? How big is the movement? Without the order of the superior, who dares to act without authorization?"

"Those who know know that I am resettling refugees, but those who don't know think that I have hidden evil intentions! If those pretentious admonishers listen to me and sue me in front of the emperor, who can I reason with? Last month, the prefect of Suzhou It is precisely because of raising food and resettling refugees without authorization that the censor of the inspectorate gave a copy, and I don’t want to follow in the same footsteps!”

Seeing Lu Xianzhi's stern voice, Gu Yunji was not afraid at all, and asked instead: "After all, isn't the reason why Mr. Lu doesn't care about the life and death of the refugees because he is afraid of losing the black hat on his head?"
