Wu Qi, who was taken aback by the coldness in Shen Xiuting's tone, said: "It's about the food. Could it be that we have joined hands to manipulate the food? It's just that why did this army come so silently?"
Shen Xiuting, however, chuckled and said, "The god of food? What food? I just took over the food and arranged to help the victims. Could it be that there is something wrong with the food?"
Wu Qi was stunned for a moment, then he realized it, and said with a smile: "That's right, the students are only here in Lantian County to visit their old friends. Seeing the people in Lantian suffer such disasters, the students also couldn't bear it, so they can only donate [-] shi of grain on behalf of my father. Let’s talk about it, and hope that the old parents don’t refuse.”
When Shen Xiuting heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Wu and your father are full of patriotism, how can I refuse? So, I will thank Mr. Wu and Mr. Wu on behalf of the Lantian people first?"
After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other, and then laughed together, which seemed to mean that everything was kept silent.
After laughing, Shen Xiuting said to the housekeeper: "I suspect that the county captain Zhao Jing is secretly selling grain, and he is investigating secretly. He didn't want the army to come, but he happened to hand it over to the superior officer who came to deal with it."
The housekeeper also understood, and said with a bitter face: "If you go back to the master, the county captain has already committed suicide in fear of crime after returning to the county government."
When Shen Xiuting heard the words, he said heartbrokenly: "Why is this necessary? It's just for a little food, he Zhao Jing is confused!"
Hearing the words, the butler hid himself and said, "My lord, I still have some things to do. You and Mr. Wu will have a banquet first, and come to serve after the old slave is done?"
Shen Xiuting waved his hands and said, "Go, go, you won't be needed here for the time being."
After the steward retreated, Shen Xiuting picked up the wine glass again and said to Wu Qi: "Come on, I will respect Mr. Wu first. This cup is to thank Mr. Wu and your father on behalf of the people in Lantian. Mr. Wu cannot refuse."
Wu Qi hurriedly went to the supermarket and said with a glass of wine: "These are just the things of the students, but they can't be treated like old parents."
While the two were pushing cups and changing cups, just outside the county government office, the sullen Emperor Chongzhen ordered Zhang Zhiji beside him, "Slam the door, grab someone, don't let anyone get away!"
Chapter 2 I want to borrow your head for use!
There was only a loud bang, and the gate of the backyard of the Lantian County Government Office was directly smashed open.The two doors that fell to the ground kicked up a big cloud of smoke and dust.
A group of yamen servants trapped in the backyard felt that it was time to show their loyalty, and each rushed over with a knife to see who was so bold as to smash the back door of the county yamen. Great success.
But after seeing the heavily armed Jingying soldiers, dozens of yamen servants decisively dropped the knives in their hands, without Zhang Zhiji warning.
What an international joke, armed to smash the gate of the county government, just think about how terrifying the backstage of these Qiubas is, they can't be provoked, they can't be provoked.
Seeing that these yamen servants were very knowledgeable and interesting, Zhang Zhiji didn't bother to say any more, he just waved his hand behind him and ordered: "Go in, grab someone, don't let anyone go, and don't move around."
The lieutenant general who was following Zhang Zhiji handed over his hands, and then led his troops to rush in.
All of a sudden, the entire Lantian county government seemed to be jumping around.From time to time, there were shouts and shouts.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the backyard of the county government quieted down, and Zhang Zhiji's deputy general also returned to report.
At this time, the streets were already crowded with onlookers, all of them poking their heads out to see what was going on inside, why did the soldiers dare to surround the county government.
Chongzhen didn't care whether these people were watching or not. Hearing that the voice inside had gradually died down, Emperor Chongzhen raised his legs and walked towards the backyard of the county government.
After entering the backyard, Chongzhen, whose face had returned to his usual calm, asked, "Where is the magistrate of Lantian County? Take me to have a look."
Zhang Zhiji's lieutenant general is usually a listless master, so he bowed and said, "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, when the last general went in to fetch people, the county magistrate of Lantian was having a banquet with people in the backyard."
The corner of Emperor Chongzhen's mouth twitched, and he ordered "Lead the way ahead" before walking into the backyard.
When they got to the place where Shen Xiuting and Wu Qi were drinking, Chongzhen looked at the table full of wine and food, and then at the two men who were forced to kneel on the ground by the soldiers of the Beijing camp with knives, he only gave a cold snort, and sat down on the stool.
Although Shen Xiuting was forced to kneel on the ground by the knife, but seeing Chongzhen's attire as a young nobleman, he thought he might be a son of some honorable family, so he straightened his neck and said, "I don't know which family this young master is from." ? You must know that leading troops to attack the county government is a crime of rebellion!"
Seeing the threatening tone in Shen Xiuting's tone, Chongzhen was almost amused.Damn, rebel?Did Lao Tzu create his own rebellion?
The Emperor Chongzhen, who felt it was funny, said with a faint smile: "It's okay, don't just lead troops to attack the county government office, even if I lead troops to attack the government government office, it's fine, I don't need you to worry about this."
Ignoring Shen Xiuting's expression of looking at a fool, Chongzhen continued: "What's the name of this lord? How do you call him?"
People are under the knife and have to be convinced.Shen Xiuting opened his mouth and replied: "The next official is a Jinshi in the third year of Tianqi. His surname is Shen and his name is Xiuting. He is the county magistrate of Lantian County. Who is the young master?"
Chongzhen wanted to tease him, so he said: "It's a coincidence, my surname is Zhu, but the country's surname. On the day I was born, my father picked up a large piece of lard on the street, so I named him It's called Youjian."
Shen Xiuting, who didn't react for a while, was amused, and said with a smile: "Young Master, what a name, pick lard, pig..."
All of a sudden, Shen Xiuting realized what this name represented, no matter how unbelievable it was, although he didn't know why the emperor of the dynasty came to such a poor place, but he saw that he was surrounded by soldiers from the capital camp. The guard knew it should be true.
Shen Xiuting, who was cold in his heart, hastily prostrated himself on the ground this time: "Minister, Shen Xiuting, magistrate of Lantian County, kowtow to my emperor, long live long live! Long live long live, long live my emperor! Your calling the emperor's name in vain is a death penalty, death penalty."
Chongzhen said lightly: "A mere name, what's there to say? I'm afraid the people in Lantian are calling me a dog emperor? It's much better to call me by name than to call me. It doesn't matter."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Xiuting was scared to death.
Although what Emperor Chongzhen said is fine, if anyone can't understand the point of the people in front of him calling him a dog emperor, then he is really stupid, okay?
But how did the emperor know that the people scolded the dog emperor?Taking a sneak peek at Chongzhen's attire, Shen Xiuting suddenly understood - this guy is the Emperor Zhengde who imitated his ancestors, and came out in micro-clothes!It is said that Emperor Zhengde liked to travel in micro-clothes to harm the minister's daughter-in-law!
Shen Xiuting, who felt that he had grasped the truth, prostrated himself on the ground again and said, "Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and his virtuous name spreads far and wide, so how could the common people not know about it? His Majesty just said something, there must be some unscrupulous people spreading rumors!"
You are really a fucking talent!If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, I'm afraid I would have believed your nonsense!
Chongzhen ignored Shen Xiuting's nonsense, and asked directly: "When I entered the county, I saw people who died of starvation being transported to mass graves outside the city. Shen County magistrate, I want an explanation."
Shen Xiuting rolled his eyes and replied: "Your Majesty Qizuo, there are about [-] people in Lantian County, but the food relief allocated is only enough. It's just that there are many people who have fled from other places in the past few days. I have to take care of it, so it is inevitable that there will be places that cannot be taken care of. I have already reported to Xi'an Mansion yesterday, asking for more food."
But Chongzhen said: "What Shen Aiqing said is true. It's just that the long-distance water can't quench the near-thirst. Every day of delay, people in Lantian County will starve to death. Does Shen Aiqing have a good plan?"
When Shen Xiuting heard the words, he just bowed and said: "I'm incompetent, I can't share your majesty's worries, death penalty, death penalty. It's just that I also know that being an official will benefit one side, so I invited this Mr. Wu next to me. Mr. Wu He has already promised on behalf of his father that he is willing to donate five hundred shi of grain to help the victims of the disaster in Lantian County."
Chongzhen glanced at the rather handsome Mr. Wu, and said indifferently: "Mr. Wu is full of patriotism, and I am very relieved. But, how long will it take for the food to arrive?"
Seeing Chongzhen asking himself, Wu Qi hastily kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, the food from the students' homes is estimated to arrive in Lantian within two to three days."
Chongzhen shook his head, and said to Shen Xiuting: "Shen Aiqing still doesn't seem to understand what I mean. Just now I have already said how to solve the problem of starvation of the people in Lantian County now, instead of waiting two or three days. If you can wait, I can wait for the Xi'an government to bring in more food."
Shen Xiuting's heart skipped a beat, it's not that this matter cannot be resolved.As long as he recovers the grain he sold to Mr. Wu, not to mention Lantian County, even the disaster victims in another county are enough to survive.
It's just that Emperor Chongzhen was pressing the question like this, and it would be impossible not to answer, so Shen Xiuting could only lower his body a little bit lower: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I am incompetent, please forgive me."
Chongzhen said indifferently: "Forget it, forget it. I have a way to solve the situation immediately. I just need to borrow something from Shen Aiqing to use it."
Shen Xiuting replied curiously: "I don't know what your Majesty wants to borrow? As long as I have it, I am willing to donate it for your Majesty's use."
Chongzhen suddenly sneered, and said to Shen Xiuting: "I want to use your head!"
Chapter 2 Nine Clans Are Not Enough, Ten Clans Come Together!
Shen Xiuting was shocked when he heard the words, he kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know what crime I have committed. Your Majesty will directly convict you without going through the third division?"
Chongzhen smiled, and said to Shen Xiuting: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I must have read it when I was in love with Qing. I don't know what is the crime of the food official? The crime of loving Qing is more than that of the food official. Therefore, only the head of the person who loves Qing It's not enough, what I want to borrow is the heads of Aiqing's nine clans!"
Shen Xiuting was not convinced, he straightened up and said to Chongzhen: "This is not a time of marching, and the hearts of the people have not changed. Your Majesty wants to punish the nine clans of the ministers for no reason, and the ministers refuse to accept it."
Chongzhen looked at the meat and wine on the table that had hardly touched his chopsticks, picked up a plate casually, threw it in front of Shen Xiuting, and asked, "What about the food? I had a decree earlier that no one should be starved to death. It is said that Daming himself purchased a lot of food from Nanyang Zhufan. But now, how many people in Lantian County have starved to death?"
