After Mr. Song went to bed, Zhao Luoyang did not leave in a hurry, but walked around the government office.
Zhao Jingyun had given instructions in advance, and Zhao Luoyang had come in and out several times. Everyone knew that she was a girl from the Zhao family. In the courtyard of the second hall, no one stopped Zhao Luoyang wherever he went.
The jail in the government office was full of people. In order to free up space, during this period, in addition to arresting people, there was an endless stream of prisoners being dragged outside the government office for execution.
Those who were originally supposed to be detained for a few days were all changed to beating the paddle. The dull sound of the paddle never stopped, the government officials were sweating profusely, and the screams were endless. Fortunately, they could leave after the pain was over. Such a violent war in Taozhou City
, from the moment the city gate reopened, what happened yesterday spread out to all directions.
Now the surrounding prefectures and counties have learned the general news that someone in Taozhou rebelled and a military rebellion broke out. Fortunately, Mr. Zhao and two Shangguan officials from Beijing put it down.
The civil servants were immersed in writing documents. One of the old civil servants had worked in the government office before. After a busy day, he raised his head blankly. For some reason, he was originally in Taozhou, but he actually had the guts to work in the government office in Beijing.
It feels like a signature.
The old civil servant stroked his beard and said to his colleagues during a break: "We, adults, will definitely have a good future in the future."
Everyone came to ask why.
The old literary official smiled and said nothing.
After Mr. Zhao came to Taozhou, he did more and more big things. Isn't there still hope for promotion in the future? If this continues, Taozhou may have a noble man.
Zhao Jingyun and Xie Chen didn't sleep a wink all night. There were many people in the prison who needed to be interrogated. In addition, for such a big matter, a report had to be reported to the capital overnight.
After all, Zhu Youqing died and a Feng family steward was captured.
The other Shangguan, Cao, was completely hopeless. After escaping from death, Mr. Cao had been emotionally unstable. He rushed into the prison first with a smell of feces and urine. After seeing the Feng family steward, he angrily questioned him.
Then, with this energy, he returned to the Yamen and wrote the impeachment memorial all night. After everything was done, everyone realized that Mr. Cao was as hot as coals.
The Cao family's attendants brought their master back with tears in their eyes, took a bath and put him on the kang. Cao Ben was so sick that he couldn't get up every three or five days.
Xie Chen sighed in his heart, walked out of the prison, and followed Zhao Jingyun to have a meal before continuing his work.
Zhao Jingyun led Xie Chen into the second hall, and Zhao Luoyang, who was standing in the yard, also found the person he was looking for.
Without waiting for Xie Chen to speak, Zhao Jingyun said, "Have you come to see your husband? I'm afraid he won't be able to go back for a while."
Zhao Luoyang nodded: "Sir, he has a bad appetite on weekdays, so I'm here to deliver some of his usual meals."
"Thank you for your hard work," Zhao Jingyun said.
Zhao Luoyang immediately saluted: "Your Majesty, you are the one who made the decision for us. If it weren't for you, I don't know how many people would not be able to survive this New Year."
Zhao Jingyun seemed casual, but he was actually listening to Zhao Luoyang's words carefully. Then he followed the Zhao girl's instructions, frowned, and showed a somewhat majestic look on his face.
Zhao Jingyun said: "In the past, I only knew that they had hoarded some grain. Unexpectedly, this investigation was really eye-opening. Several private granaries were full. They may have half of Taozhou's grain in their hands."
Here. Think about the people who starved to death before... They would rather spoil the food than take it out."
Naturally, it is impossible for the Feng family to spoil the food. If something had not happened to Sun Ji, the food would have been sold to Taozhou long ago.
Zhao Luoyang and Shi Jiu said, "It looks like we can get the food today."
Shi Jiu said: "When the refugees are full, it's their turn to relocate."
After Zhao Jingyun said this, he paused for a moment and then continued: "This time, Fengxia Village has been wronged. Originally, you took the refugees to make fur coats, but you turned around and said that you oppressed the refugees and did not pay them wages. I am like this
It’s also done to lure out those people with bad intentions.”
"Folk girls understand," Zhao Luoyang said, "people in Fengxia Village are also willing to serve the imperial court."
Zhao Jingyun nodded again and again. He glanced at the clerk behind him. The clerk presented several books of accounts. Zhao Jingyun opened one and read it, then handed it to Xie Chen: "Master Xie, there is one more important matter than interrogation.
.”
Xie Chen didn't know what Zhao Jingyun was going to say, so he waited for Zhao Jingyun to finish.
Zhao Jingyun said: "When I took over Taozhou, the granary was burned by Sun Ji's people. The granary contained food prepared by the imperial court for the relocated people, so the people did not receive enough rice. Now suddenly something like this appears
There was so much grain, I suspect that the story of burning the granary at that time might have been fake. It appeared that all the grain was burned, but in fact they hid the grain."
Xie Chen nodded.
Zhao Jingyun said: "It's no time to ask the court now. Human lives are more important than rice and food. I think it's better to give some food to the relocated people first."
Xie Chen said: "Should."
Zhao Jingyun looked at Zhao Luoyang: "The manpower in the government office is not enough right now. We have to go back to the village to find some people. Everyone can help. We will distribute the food today."
Xie Chen looked at the girl from the Zhao family again. He had felt the girl's intelligence yesterday, but today he was still surprised that Mr. Zhao entrusted such an important matter to this girl.
Zhao Luoyang said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I will call my uncle and others to come and help."
Distributing rice grains is of course a good thing.
After all, the shoes and clothes picked up by the sixteen households were not as rich as rice grains, and the rice grains could also be sent to other villages. Zhao Luoyang could also earn some charm points by showing his face there.
Zhao Luoyang and Shi Jiu said: "Suddenly I realized that Mr. Zhao is really very kind. With such a trip, I can earn back the charm value of the book exchange."
Not only can you make money back.
In fact, Zhao Luoyang received some charm points when he captured the Feng family. He came back from Wangjiazhuangzi last night and got another one in Fengxia Village.
Originally, Zhao Luoyang wanted to ask Mr. Zhao if he could distribute food, but she just started and Mr. Zhao finished everything by himself.
"Well," Shi Jiu said, "Maybe someone has informed Mr. Zhao in advance."
Zhao Luoyang thought of the little mute. He didn't know that Shi Jiu and the little mute were the same person before and didn't think anything of it. Now that he knew, he couldn't help but feel like laughing when he heard this.
The little mute was reminding her not to forget to take the credit on his head.
Zhao Luoyang pretended not to understand: "Who is it? You mean the little mute?"
Shi Jiu responded.
Zhao Luoyang said: "I don't think so. The little mute is recuperating at home and doesn't have much energy. Mr. Zhao is indeed a good official and thinks of the people wholeheartedly. He can think of this without anyone mentioning it."
She and the little mute still had some unsettled accounts, so naturally she couldn't attribute all the good things to the little mute.
Shi Jiu frowned, and recalling Zhao Jingyun's appearance, Zhao Jingyun's mouth seemed even bigger.
Thinking of this, Shi Jiu suddenly noticed that his health value fluctuated.
[Health value -1]
His health points have not been reduced for a long time. What is the reason for today? Could it be that he questioned Zhao Jingyun?
Shi Jiu suddenly felt very uncomfortable. He lost 1 point of health, which made him feel out of breath.
Zhao Jingyun, who had just left, couldn't help but sneeze twice, and a chill ran down his spine. He sniffed and then spoke to Xie Chen: "Are you wondering why I handed this matter over to the Zhao family girl?"
Nod gratefully.
Zhao Jingyun had already thought of his words: "Because of Mr. Song. Do you know Song Guangyan?"
Xie Chen came from Beijing and was a censor. Although he could not say that he knew all the officials in Da Qi, how could he not have heard of the name of the Number One Scholar?
Zhao Jingyun nodded: "Song Guangyan is Mr. Song's son, and the Zhao family girl is Mr. Song's close disciple."
Xie Chen said: "That's it."
Zhao Jingyun thought about Mr. Song... Although his waist was slightly stooped, he could still carry a heavy load.
Without further ado, Zhao Jingyun and Xie Chen called the civil servants to do some calculations, and then asked people to take the people of Fengxia Village to collect food.
Zhao Xuejing and Zhao Xueyi brought Niu Daochang, Niu Sheng and others to the government office.
Seeing that the donkey cart was filled with grain, Niu Sheng couldn't help but said: "The imperial court really gave us rice grain. Yesterday when we were pulling rice grain, we were still wondering if we could have it."
As a result, this thought came true after one night.
Not only they, but also the emigrants from Taozhou, and the imperial court would also give money to them if they borrowed their donkey carts.
Isn't this a great thing?
Niu Sheng smiled from ear to ear. He whispered to his father: "We have to stand forward for things like this in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, Niu Daochang reached out and slapped his son on the back of the head: "You're used to running around, aren't you? It's not enough to do something like this once, you want it a second time?"
Who knew Niu Sheng stretched out three fingers: "Dad, this is already the third time."
