The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 251
"My lord, this voice is not from inside the mansion, but from outside the wall. Outside this wall is a street of lights, and it will be the end of the new year tomorrow, so there should be children making lanterns." Wang Gang cupped his hands and said to Changsun Ji.

Hearing Wang Gang finished speaking, Changsun Ji was taken aback for a moment. Although he knew that the festival was coming soon, he didn't expect the time to pass so quickly, but in the blink of an eye, tomorrow will be the end of the new year.

"It's so fast, it's another year." Changsun Ji said with a little emotion.

"Come on, go out with me and see how the people of Yanzhou pass the new year. It can be regarded as a taste of the people of Yanzhou." Changsun Ji clapped his hands and stood up again.

After turning a few turns, Changsun Ji led Wang Gang out of the mansion.

Because of Dong Wuyang and his party, Changsun Ji knew that although the counties pretended to be almost out of food, in fact, the grain in the official warehouses, various aristocratic families, and wealthy merchants might not even fit in the granaries.

Therefore, after taking back Yangping, Changsun Ji ordered that a certain amount of money should be taken from some of the property seized by the grain army to buy grain from aristocratic families and wealthy merchants.

Yangping is not very far from Dongwuyang, especially the original Yangping guard who handles the Dongwu Yang family, so it was only the first day when Changsun Ji entered the city. Things to do in Wuyang.

It is said that those who are soft are afraid of hard, and those who are hard are afraid of death.If this Yangping family and wealthy merchants deal with some other people who have encroached on their interests, they may unite together and rebel, but they naturally dare not resist someone with a criminal record like Changsun Ji.

In case the other party is annoyed, and the other party is moving the matter of Dongwuyang to Yangping to do it again, then who can bear it.Besides, although Changsun Ji encroached on their interests, he only wanted some food, and he still paid for the food. Although it made them lose money, it was still within the tolerance range.

So no one came forward to reject Changsun Ji.After Changsun Ji bought grain, he built a porridge shed in the city and boiled some rice porridge every day for the people in the city to eat. Although the whole city could not be fed, it could also make those who had no food to eat. Hanging their lives, they will not starve to death.

The basic material conditions for survival are met, and some spiritual entertainment will follow naturally. Therefore, although this year is not a good year, with famines and wars, this year is not as good as imagined. generally deserted.Of course, when it comes to the degree of prosperity, there is no way to compare it with the previous few years.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and Changsun Ji looked at the street not far away, which had already been covered with various styles of lanterns at some point, and the road that was originally a little spacious had already been rushed to see at this time The people with lanterns are full.

Looking at the various common people below, although all of them were not dressed very decently, it could even be said that their clothes were not covering their bodies, and some of them had disheveled faces on their faces, but no matter what, he looked at this full of people at this time. Street lanterns, but the face is filled with a happy smile.

The children held the hand of the adults, pointed at a lantern in the shape of an animal, and cried for it, or piled up in groups of three or two, and drilled around on the relatively crowded streets, spreading laughter along the way.

Looking at the various poses and expressions of the people in this street, the corner of Changsun Ji's mouth couldn't help curling up.In fact, he sometimes envies these ordinary people. He doesn't have to think so much every day. No matter what hardships he encounters, as long as he can live, he feels very satisfied and happy.

But looking at them now, Changsun Ji couldn't help but think of a famous line from a poet in his previous life, "Every festive season misses relatives."

Indeed, why do I miss my loved ones even more during the holidays? It is because during the holidays, when I see other people’s homes laughing and having fun, it will definitely make those travelers in foreign lands miss their loved ones even more.

"Let's go, let's go for a walk." After clearing up his emotions, he said to Wang Gang who was standing behind him.

After going down the steps of the Sheriff’s Mansion, Changsun Ji led Wang Gang into the street. Because Changsun Ji was wearing a fine attire, although he looked kind, these people still didn’t have the guts to stop him. With his clothes on, he avoided them from a distance.

This made Changsun Ji a little uncomfortable. This is people's instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Even if he wants to change it, it will not have any effect for a while.

This is like in the previous life, when a luxurious Rolls-Royce was walking on the road, the owners of some lower-priced cars around him would drive very carefully, and would definitely stay away from this luxury car whenever they had the opportunity.

This kind of mentality is the same as that of these people who are far away from Changsun Ji now.For fear of any accident, offending the eldest grandson Ji, offending a powerful son, for ordinary people like them, they will never be able to pay for it in their lifetime.

Seeing this scene, Changsun Ji didn't have any interest in staying here any longer. He crossed the street all the way, looked around at the lanterns briefly, and Changsun Ji went elsewhere.

The New Year's Eve will be over soon, so it's impossible for the city to be the only place that is relatively prosperous.Changsun Ji wandered out of the street for a while, and came to a small lake.

At this time, the small lake is naturally very lively.The entire lake is full of young boys and girls, or two or more people playing around the lake.

There are all kinds of wishing lights floating in the lake, gathering in the lake, lining the entire lake into a sea of ​​stars.

The atmosphere by the whole lake is simple and innocent. Even some girls look up at men inadvertently. The feelings are fully revealed.

Changsun Ji didn't bother these young people too much.His wanderings in the city were just a whim, so when he felt that his hunger was getting worse, he turned around and returned home.

The next day, which was the day of the New Year's Eve, Changsun Ji ordered the kitchen to prepare meals early.

Because everyone is far away, except for Wang Liangbing, none of their generals have any relatives in Yanzhou, so on this day, he is going to hold a dinner party, prepare to gather all the generals together, and be alone with the others For the new year, it is better to get together, have a New Year's Eve dinner, and celebrate the New Year.

Whether it was in the previous life or in this life, Changsun Ji still prefers to be quiet compared to the more lively ones, so he didn't have any meals with his subordinates on weekdays.

This time, he took advantage of the dinner of the New Year's Eve Group to get in touch with his subordinates, and secondly, it was also a farewell banquet he had prepared for him to return to Beijing after resigning in the not-too-distant future.
