PS: Thanks to book friends for their rewards 20170911174047813.

"Mr. Chen, you will not offend this chief minister, right?" Yang Fu, a servant sent by Yang He, said to Magistrate Chen.

Hearing this, County Magistrate Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "The one who offended this person was Lin Futai. I can only say that I have suffered it on behalf of others."

As he said that, he shook his head helplessly and sighed.

County Magistrate Chen also got into the green sedan chair he had when he came, and asked the sedan chairman to keep up with Cui Changshi's sedan chair in front.

Although Yang Fu, a servant, had no sedan chair, he came on horseback. He also got on the horse's back and rushed to the front to guide Cui Changshi.

Kaifeng City has been surrounded for almost a month. On the streets, under the walls, and in the corners of the walls, many poor people who cannot afford to eat are gathered.

Especially outside the restaurant canteen, there are many people.

Yang Fu, who led the way, walked the main streets in the city. Even if he was farther away, he didn't want to walk on some remote streets and alleys.

Especially on some streets where there are few people, soldiers often go to the homes of the people in the city to plunder in groups.

Since the Fengfu City was besieged, the people in the city have had a hard time, and even the defenders in the city have been getting worse.

Although the defenders in the city could still drink porridge, the rice grains in the porridge were getting smaller and smaller, and they were almost getting clear soup. Many soldiers were so hungry that they could not bear it and could only go to the people's houses to grab food.

Faced with the three-day increase in grain prices, grain is the lifeblood of a family.

If someone wants to steal his life, the people will naturally fight to the death to protect the last bit of food in their homes from being stolen.

People's lives are like grass in troubled times.

It is better to use a knife than to study, let alone these poor people who can’t even eat enough, so the result is obvious.

The one who holds a knife naturally has an absolute advantage.

Since the soldiers have taken action, they will not end just by snatching a little food. Many times, the knife will not end without dyeing red.

Everyone must live, and these soldiers are the most clear about life and death.

When the soldiers robbed them enough, what was left was a mess, and it was even more common for them to die.

Everyone has a few relatives and friends, close friends, and family members who have made friends with each other, so the relatives in the family naturally do not do it. The people carried the bodies and came to the yamen in groups to shout for justice.

However, Kaifeng Prefecture City was besieged, and the city officials were still counting on the soldiers in the city to defend the city and needed to coax the defenders in the city. Naturally, they would not punish the defenders in the city for a group of people who could not even afford to eat.

Similar to the soldiers who broke into the door and robbed and killed people, the yamen did not accept anything under the ignorance of the officials.

When I met those dead thorny families, I pulled them into the yamen without saying a word and threw them out of the yamen after the beating.

If you beat a board, it won't work, and the matter will be directly pushed to the defenders in the city to solve it.

As a result, these families were attacked by bandits at night or were found by thieves in the Yangtze River. They were killed without leaving any left. The next day, the next day, the servants in the yamen took the body.

Naturally, fewer people were causing trouble, and the city became stable. The city officials were satisfied and the soldiers guarding the city were happy because they had an extra channel to get food.

There are also more and more beggars who are homeless in the city who can only beg for a living.

When he arrived at the gate of the house where Yang He lived, Yang Fu jumped off the horse's back and quickly walked to Cui Changshi's sedan chair, saying respectfully: "Changshi, we're here."

Cui Changshi lifted the curtains of the sedan chair on one side and glanced into the door, saying, "Governor Yang lives here? Why don't he live in the yamen?"

"My master has been to Henan since he was working hard to suppress the rebellion, but he finally got tired. The doctor who was seeing a doctor said it was not appropriate to work hard anymore and find a cleaner place to cultivate. Our master moved here." Yang Fu explained from the side.

Hearing this, Cui Changshi smiled contemptuously.

In his opinion, he was just an excuse, but he was unwilling to stay in the yamen to see the faces of Prefect Lin and others, and find an excuse to move here.

"Press up the sedan chair." Cui Changshi ordered the sedan chair bearer.

The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted and he walked out of the sedan chair.

County Magistrate Chen, who had gotten off the sedan chair first, was already waiting aside.

"Shishou, please." Yang Fu respectfully invited Shishou, Cui, and took County Magistrate Chen to Yang He's study.

Since moving here, Yang He has never left the gate of this yard and has no intention of asking about the outside. If County Magistrate Chen had not come to him, he would not have known that so many things have happened in Kaifeng Prefecture in recent days.

"Master, Cui Changshi has arrived." Yang Fu shouted outside the door, and at the same time pushed open the door and asked Cui Changshi and County Magistrate Chen to enter the room.

Yang He, who heard the sound of words, walked out from behind the table and came to meet in front of the door.

As soon as Cui Changshi, who had just entered the door, saw this scene, his mouth curled up slightly, and he bowed his fists and said, "Governor Yang."

"Changshi Cui doesn't have to be too polite, just sit down first." Yang He came to Cui Changshi's side a few steps, pulled Cui Changshi's forearm intimately, helped the person to the seat and sat down, and then shouted outside, "Get tea."

"You are so polite to the Supervisor." Cui Changshi said politely, and the Ren Da sat on the seat with a stinging sting.

"Okay, as long as Cui Changshi doesn't dislike the tea here." Yang He enthusiastically patted Cui Changshi's forearm, then turned around and said to the Chen County Magistrate who was also coming in, "Mr. Chen, please find a place to sit!"

"Thank you, General Manager." County Magistrate Chen gave a deep salute, and then walked to a seat opposite Changshi Cui.

However, he did not sit down immediately, but waited for Yang He to sit down carefully after he sat down.

The servant outside the house brought hot tea, first exchanged Yang He for a new cup of tea, and then placed the other two cups at the hands of Cui Changshi and Chen County Magistrate.

Cui Changshi glanced at the tea at hand, and did not move, saying, "I heard that the supervisor was anxious to see the subordinates. The subordinates should have come here earlier. Just when he was about to go out, his highness suddenly summoned him. It was delayed for some time in the middle. Please don't blame him."

"Your Highness's affairs are important. I will wait for a while and it won't be in trouble." Yang He was very polite.

If you ask for help, you must always have a better attitude.

"If the supervisor said this, the subordinates would feel much more at ease." Cui Changshi looked relieved, as if he was really afraid that Yang He would blame him.

However, as the chief of the royal palace, even if Yang He was the governor of Henan, he could not give face at all, let alone Yang He is only the title of governor, and his power has long fallen into the hands of others.

County Magistrate Chen, who was standing by, saw that the two men were left alone, couldn't help but say, "Supervisor, aren't you having something to talk about with Cui Changshi? Cui Changshi is here now, you can say it."

"Oh? The supervisor has something to say?" Cui Changshi asked in surprise.

Of course, he deliberately pretended to have just known it.
