Xiang Xian, the catcher next to Xia Zhengjun, looked at the ragged people gathering under a dilapidated shed on the roadside. The people were holding half-length sticks in their hands, which were already covered with mud.
Xia Zhengjun couldn't help but frown.
A good official who loves the people would hate to see the people suffer. But these people are obviously not under his jurisdiction, and he does not have the ability to take care of them.
Xiang Xian is the most warm-hearted and is a well-known head catcher. It is because of them that Tianyun Mountain City is particularly comfortable.
"Sir, I heard that there was a disaster this year, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. Tianyun Mountain is far away from the disaster in the south. Didn't the victims get relief along the way?"
Xia Zhengjun: "The war on the border consumes countless money and food. The people have no harvest, and the court is in difficulty. Relief is too late, so the people naturally have to leave their homes. If we go further, we will reach Kyoto. Is it possible that the people want to go straight up?
Kyoto?”
Kyoto begged the court to give him a way out. This was the only way to survive.
Local officials have no power, only Kyoto has this strength. Every time there is a major disaster and relief is slow, there will always be enterprising victims who come to Kyoto to block a block and try to survive. However, most of them are just for trouble.
It's just useless.
There are also some who, walking and begging all the way, have made their homes everywhere. Wherever they go, they get tired and don't want to leave, and they lose the idea of living.
The land is the life of the people, and the harvest is the capital of the people's life. Without capital, they will not be able to live.
During a severe drought, there are still houses to live in, but during a severe flood, all the family's wealth is destroyed.
Xiang Xian: "Chief Chang is so anxious to see you, I wonder what a big deal it is."
In order to avoid being noticed by others, the two of them rushed to Tianyun Tea House on foot.
Xia Zhengjun took a step forward: "Big deal?"
Xiang Xian: "Although Gang Leader Chang is vigorous and resolute, he always keeps a distance from our official family. This rush to meet with the adults must not be a whim."
Xia Zhengjun: "Huh, if I didn't have something to say to him, I wouldn't be surprised if he invited me here!"

Tianyun Tea House
The waiter warmly greeted Chang Shisan for dinner and made the finest signature tea.
The backyard of the teahouse is empty, and there are four rooms in the inner courtyard. It seems quieter than the store in front.
"Subordinate Zhuo Xingyang."
There was a sound outside the door, and Zhuo Xingyang quickly rushed to the teahouse after receiving Chang Shisan's order.
"Come in."
"yes."
Zhuo Xingyang saluted: "I've met the gang leader."
Chang Shisan: "Sit down." After saying that, he handed him a cup of tea.
"Thank you, Gang Leader. Gang Leader, please give me your instructions."
Chang Shisan: "This matter is important. Please listen carefully to what I say."
Zhuo Xingyang lowered his head slightly: "Yes, I will remember every word of this. Please tell me."
Chang Shisan told Zhuo Xingyang about the two million taels of Dengyun Escort Bureau, and the matter became clear. Zhuo Xingyang became anxious when he heard that the chief helmsman was in danger in the coming year. He finally understood why Lin Xunyi complained. Sure enough,
The gang leader lost his temper with Lin Xun today, not just because of Lin Xun's performance in morning class without any desire for improvement.
Chang Shisan: "With Tianyun Mountain's financial resources, it will definitely not be Xia Zhengjun. If he deliberately framed Xia Zhengjun, he must have a problem with Xia Zhengjun."
Zhuo Xingyang: "In this area, the only person who has issues with Xia Zhengjun is Kang Tingzhi after leaving the Tianyun Mountain Sect. Kang Tingzhi is not a fuel-efficient person, nor is he a good official.
"
Chang Shisan: "I order you to pay close attention to Kang Tingzhi's every move, including the cronies around him. The two helmsmen will be at your disposal. Remember, you must not be noticed by him."
