Wow...
Misty June, drizzle continues.
Longhua Mansion.
"It's been raining for half a month, why is it still raining? I heard that half of the county in Quanjiang County was flooded, and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced. I don't know if the government's disaster relief money has arrived."
"What's the use of coming down here? Corrupt officials are rampant and corrupt officials are everywhere. Major grain dealers are also taking advantage of disasters to make profits. Today my wife asked me to buy rice. In the past, coarse rice cost 4 cents per catty and fine rice cost 7 cents. Today, I see that the coarse rice is 7 cents.
Rice costs 13 cents, but I don’t even dare to ask for fine rice.”
"Hey, the world is so difficult, there are many natural disasters, and there are more corrupt officials. I don't know when it will end."
"Head, there is no head, but I heard that Taipingdao, which was wiped out last year, has become active again recently. Weren't they all wiped out last year?"
"Suppress the light, how to suppress it? What they think is the Way of Peace is just a few Dharma Kings and Helmsmen. The real Way of Peace is actually thousands of hungry people who want to have enough to eat."
"Hey, don't say this nonsense."
"Yes, drink, drink, today's rice wine is enough."
Boom...
A muffled thunder.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
At the same time.
Magistrate's Yamen.
"I've been waiting for you for so long, and finally I'm here. In the past half month, Ping'an Road has been causing chaos everywhere, and has repeatedly attacked the government granaries, causing people everywhere to panic."
In the back hall.
The prefect of Longhua, who was over sixty years old, vomited bitterness with a sad face.
"Fast?"
"We also want to go fast."
"But don't forget, Lord Prefect, we came very quickly last year. As a result, hundreds of elite disciples helped you to encircle and suppress Ping'an Road. You take the credit. We promised one casualty and a pension of 1,000 to 3,000 taels of silver. But this
The money has not been collected yet."
As soon as I heard this.
The prefect of Longhua was a little speechless and hesitantly said: "There is a reason for this. You also know that Longhua Prefecture has been in many disasters in recent years, whether it is a severe drought or a flood. In addition, there are many man-made disasters. My prefect's yamen
I can’t even open the pot, I really didn’t mean to renege on my debt.”
"I don't care about that, I just know that our accounts are not clear yet."
"When I came down from the mountain, the real headmaster specifically told me that relationships are relationships and accounts are accounts. I, Baishou Palace, have the responsibility to assist the local state government and stabilize the world, but we are not on the imperial diet. One is one, and two is two.
, If we weren’t worried that Taipingdao would turn its guns to retaliate against us when it became bigger, we wouldn’t have intervened in this Taipingdao incident.”
Know your fault.
The prefect of Longhua said vaguely: "Then just wait for two more days. The floods will come out in Quanjiang County below. I am preparing to organize a fundraiser for merchants in the city. When the fundraiser is over, I will have the twenty thousand taels of silver that you are short of."
Finished.
Magistrate Longhua looked around again: "Jiang Zhenzhuan, you just brought these dozen people. The last Sun Zhenzhuan brought more than a hundred disciples from the mountain."
"Too little?"
Jiang Xuan raised his eyebrows: "You also said that last time, last year's Taiping Dao was at its peak. There was one master-level leader, four first-level Dharma Kings, plus a dozen second-level helmsmen, thousands of
Congregation, naturally we need more people.
What about this time.
They are just some remnants. Although they are resurrected, the leader of the Grandmaster Realm and the three Dharma Kings who died in the battle cannot be resurrected.
Even if it can be supplemented, grandmasters and first-class experts are not cabbage.
With the situation of Ping An Dao, if there are only two or three first-class masters, it will be over, and the possibility of having a master in charge is very small."
The prefect of Longhua didn't think so: "It's okay to have two or three first-class masters, but if there is another grandmaster..."
"There is no such thing as a chance." Jiang Xuan knew what he wanted to say: "Shanmen has secretly sent a grandmaster down the mountain. If there is no grandmaster on Taiping Road, it will be fine. If there is, he will only die worse than the previous headmaster."
As he said that, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but look at Magistrate Longhua: "What's going on with you? You're being urged so urgently. Are you scared out of your mind by Ping'an Road?
In other words, the huge Longhua Mansion has been unable to find a few first-class masters who are worthy of use. You can't even deal with the resurgent remnants of Taiping Dao, so we need to come in person."
Hey hey...
The prefect of Longhua smiled awkwardly.
But there is no way.
Although Longhua is a place with one government, it governs thousands of miles.
But he is just a wealthy magistrate, and those high-ranking families are the iron-clad lords.
In the early years.
The world is at peace, and the local clans are still restrained. As long as the prefect comes forward, the families in the county will show some respect, and it is not difficult to gather three or five first-class players.
Not anymore.
The world is becoming chaotic, and local clans are getting bigger.
If people recognize you, you are a master; if they don’t recognize you, you are a piece of shit.
Take the three squads of head arresters under the prefect’s yamen as an example.
One by one, he can command several, tough little officials and smooth officials. Over the past hundred years, the government team has long been corroded by the local big families. As long as you don't raise troops to rebel, you can do whatever you want.
You.
"Sure enough, every family has sutras that are difficult to recite."
Jiang Xuan also saw the helplessness of Magistrate Longhua: "Tell me what the situation is now."
"Missing people..."
The prefect of Longhua looked helpless: "Of the three squads of yamen under me, I only brought the people from the Zaobanfang. The people from the other two squads have long been monopolized by the wealthy families in the city and do not listen to my orders at all.<
/p>
Some small things are okay, but it’s hard to say what these people are thinking about big things like the encirclement and suppression of Ping An Road.
There is also a lack of experts. Longhua had three gold medal head catchers in the past, and all of them were top-notch.
After a big battle last year, a gold-medal head catcher was killed, as well as another person from a local family. Now the only one I can call upon is Mr. Wang, the head catcher.
As for the aristocratic families.
The people of Ping'an Road are very smart. They only rob government granaries and don't touch aristocratic families.
There is no conflict of interest between the aristocratic family and Ping An Dao. On the contrary, because Ping An Dao attacked the government granaries and the price of food went up, these people made a lot of money.
What about Ping An Dao himself?
This group of people is simply crazy. They ransacked the government and distributed the official money and food they stole to the people affected by the disaster. They were very popular among the people.
I also tried to arrest a few people from Ping An Road to explore their true and false identities.
But as long as I take action here, the people below will tip off the news and even take the initiative to harbor rebellion, which makes me miserable."
"Brother..."
Listen to each sentence.
A disciple of the mountain sect who followed Jiang Xuan down the mountain couldn't help but said: "The people of Ping'an Road ransacked the government offices to relieve the victims. It doesn't sound like these people are very bad."
"What are you talking about?"
The prefect of Longhua was extremely angry: "The official grain and official silver of Longhua Prefecture are sent to the border. The victims in Quanjiang County have no food to eat. At most, hundreds of thousands of victims will starve to death. Quanjiang is still called Quanjiang, and Longhua is still called Longhua."
, if the soldiers at the border have no food to eat, no pay, and cannot guard the border, as soon as the Allied Forces of the Four Nations arrive, our country will be destroyed."
In the eyes of disaster victims.
The people of Ping'an Road robbed the government and distributed the stolen official grain and official money to them so that they could survive. They were like the masters of Qingtian.
Where is the government?
If you don't give them food to eat, if you don't give them money to use, you are worse than a bastard.
But in the eyes of the prefect of Longhua.
The Tao of Peace is a traitor who conspires to rebel, a beast that shakes the foundation of the country.
You think you attacked the government and saved hundreds of thousands of people.
