Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Another person said loudly: "That's right, there are many big households in Jinyang County with plaques hanging in their homes, let's go to their homes to borrow food!"

Hearing this, the victims' eyes lit up, and they hurriedly took away all the food and drink in the hall, and then followed the seven "disaster victims" and left quickly.

In an instant, the Chen family became much quieter.

Looking at the messy hall, Chen Ran's old face showed a ferocious look, trembling with anger, "Bandits, they are simply a bunch of robbers!"

"Useless things!"

He glared at the burly servants who were lying on the ground and couldn't get up, and cursed: "I can't even look after a house, what are you doing to feed me!"

After finishing speaking, he yelled at the others: "Let's go, let's go to the Bingzhou Governor's Mansion and ask the three imperial envoys for an explanation!"

He doesn't believe that no one cares about allowing the disaster victims to enter the city and doing robbery in the city!

However, more than a dozen gentry stood still, looking at him in fear.

"Old Chen, it's okay to go to the Bingzhou General Manager's Mansion, can you let me go home for a while?"

"That's right, Mr. Chen, there is still a plaque hanging on the door of my house, I have to go back quickly, I'm afraid I will..."

Before they could finish speaking, Chen Ran interrupted them angrily, "What's the use of you going back now?"

"The old man's house has been robbed. Do you think you can stop those victims when you go back?"

"When you go back, don't you all stare at those victims looting?"

As he spoke, Chen Ran took a deep breath, calmed down a lot, and said, "This is the end of the matter, and nothing you do will help, so let them grab it."

"The disaster victims just want to eat, give them a bite, and they will leave naturally!"

Seeing that someone hesitated to speak, Chen Ran said coldly: "I know what you are worried about. It is nothing more than worrying about what happens to your family."

"Don't worry, among the disaster victims, there are people from the General Manager's Mansion, those people are watching, at most you have less things in your house, and no one will die!"

The dozen or so gentry breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Chen, we will go with you to the Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou University for an explanation!"

someone said loudly.

"go!"

With anger on his face, Chen Ran led them towards the Bingzhou General Manager's Mansion.

Along the way, Chen Ran thought about the whole story of this incident, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Hunting geese all the year round, I never thought that there would be a day when my eyes would be pecked by geese!

What Zhang Dun, the Shaoyin of the Jingzhao Mansion, said to thank him was all false.

What Zhang Dun did was to kill chickens and monkeys.

And he, and these gentry, are all slaughtered chickens!

Chen Ran sucked his teeth, no wonder Zhang Dun was entrusted with the important task of the emperor at such a young age, to inspect Hedong Road as an imperial envoy.

This person's methods are truly ruthless!

After Zhang Dun's killing of chickens and monkeys, I am afraid that the counties and counties around Hedong Road will have some scruples when they hear about what happened in Jinyang County.

No one wants to be eating and drinking at home, suddenly disaster victims break in and snatch their food!

Soon, everyone came to Bingzhou General Manager's Mansion.

From a distance, Chen Ran and a dozen gentry saw a young figure in official robes standing at the gate of Bingzhou General Manager's Mansion.

It was Zhang Dun!

Is this waiting for them?Chen Ran laughed angrily, walked over angrily, and shouted: "Zhang Shaoyin, what do you want to do?!"

Zhang Dun put his hands behind his back and smiled as he looked at Chen Ran and a dozen gentry who came over.

Seeing the angry expressions on their faces, Zhang Dun chuckled and asked, "Old Chen, and everyone, it seems that you are very angry?"

Chen Ran stared at him, and said in a cold voice: "The old man was drinking at home, and suddenly the victims broke in and made a fuss at home. If it were Zhang Shaoyin, would you be angry?"

"Of course the officer will be angry."

Zhang Dun nodded slightly, and then asked back: "Since Mr. Chen said so, I have a question."

"If you, as the imperial envoy, ordered people from the general manager's mansion to go to your house to borrow food, but you were humiliated, would you be angry?"

"you--"

Chen Ran's tone choked, his face flushed and he said, "One thing is another thing!"

"No, no, no," Zhang Dun shook his head, and said, "I think this is the same thing. If you had borrowed food from the chief manager's mansion, how could it have happened today? Today's results are all because of you." ask for it!"

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "Do you understand what I said?"

Chen Ran's face was ashen, and the other dozen gentry were even more furious.

"Zhang Shaoyin, you are confounding right and wrong!" Among the noble gentry, a middle-aged man wearing a furrow retorted:

"People from the chief manager's mansion came to borrow food, do we have to borrow food?"

"That's a good question for you."

Zhang Dun suppressed his smile, stared at the gentry who spoke, his voice was a little cold, "I think you should borrow food."

Chapter 251 You'd better lend food to the General Manager's Mansion, or the disaster victims will come to you

Zhang Dun glanced across the faces of everyone, and said in a flat tone: "If you don't understand why I say this, then I will remind you."

"There has been a severe drought in Hedong Road for months, and the imperial court has not received any news in advance."

"Supervising Censor Sun Xue, together with General Lu Zitao, imprisoned General Manager Ma and Lu Changshi, and acted recklessly in Hedong Road, which led to the current result."

Hearing this, Chen Ran was shocked, staring at him and said, "Zhang Shaoyin, what does what you said have anything to do with us?"

Zhang Dun sneered and said, "Does it matter? You don't know why? Why do Sun Xue and Lu Zitao do this? Do you still need to say more?"

Hearing this, more than a dozen gentry panicked and looked at Chen Ran one after another.

Logically speaking, Zhang Dun shouldn't know about this matter.

Did Sun Xue and Lu Zitao tell him?

Only this is possible!

Otherwise, how did he know this?

Chen Ran's face was cloudy and uncertain. He originally wanted to ask Zhang Dun for an explanation, but unexpectedly, he was sent to the army instead.

Fortunately, he knew in advance that Sun Xue and Lu Zitao had already run away!

Dead without proof!

Chen Ran looked at Zhang Dun, and said, "Zhang Shaoyin, don't spit blood, we have never done such a thing!"

"We are just people, not officials. The reason why Hedong Road has become what it is now is because of the dereliction of duty of the people in the General Manager's Mansion!"

"As an imperial envoy, why doesn't Zhang Shaoyin blame the dereliction of duty? Instead, he blames us ordinary people? Is there any law?!"

Inside the gate of the chief executive's mansion, Changsun Wuji and Du Yan stood at the door, listening to the voice outside, they couldn't help but frowned.

After all, they are the magistrates of a county, and these remarks directly picked them, the gentry, out of this matter.

The two looked at Zhang Dun. Now he has met his opponent!

Zhang Dun smiled, shook his head and said, "Old Chen, the reason why you said this is because you already know that Sun Xue and Lu Zitao have escaped, right?"

Chen Ran said coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

Zhang Dun said in a calm tone: "Then I will tell you the truth. Manager Ma and Lu Changshi have already captured them all over the county."

"When Sun Xue and Lu Zitao are caught and interrogated together, the truth will naturally come to light."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face, and he said word by word: "I am looking forward to it very much."

Chen Ran sneered and said: "The old man also really wants the people in the chief manager's mansion to be arrested and brought to justice. The clean will be cleared, and the turbid will be turbid!"

"Zhang Shaoyin, the old man came here this time just to ask you for clarification!"

Chen Ran said with a straight face: "Why do the people in the chief manager's mansion allow the victims to enter the city? Why does Zhang Shaoyin allow the victims to plunder the city?"

Zhang Dun sighed and said, "Mr. Chen, the disaster victims are human beings, and as human beings, they have to eat."

"It's a good time for you to come."

Zhang Dun looked at them, smiled and said kindly: "The officials of the province are looking for you."

Chen Ran frowned.

More than a dozen gentry also frowned, what do these words mean?

Zhang Dun said in an unhurried tone: "As I said just now, the disaster victims are also human beings. If people are hungry, they can do anything if they are hungry."

"Looking through the history books, you can also see the words 'human cannibalism', not to mention that the victims of the disaster just rob you for a bite."

Chen Ran laughed angrily, and said, "Zhang Shaoyin, I don't understand this old man. If you don't let those victims enter the city, how can we be robbed by them?"

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Zhang Dun narrowed his eyes and looked at him and said, "Let me watch the victims get hungry and rise up?"

"That's your business!" Chen Ran shouted angrily.

"well said!"

Zhang Dun clapped his palms, and then said seriously: "Because of this incident, it is related to this official, to the chief manager's mansion, and to the imperial court! Therefore, this official must not ignore the disaster victims!"

"The victims are hungry. What is the reason? One reason is natural disasters, and the other reason is man-made disasters!"

"Natural disasters are ruthless, and no one can do anything about them, but man-made disasters, the court will investigate! But now is not the time to investigate!"

"Take Taiyuan County as an example. The price of food in Taiyuan County is so high, and the official didn't say to take care of it now."

Zhang Dun snorted coldly: "What the General Manager's Office has to do now is to stabilize those victims."

"There are so many disaster victims in Hedong Road, so they have to eat, right? The General Manager's Mansion asks you to borrow food. If you don't give it, then the disaster victims can only ask you to borrow food."

"Today, I will tell you an open word."

Zhang Dun made a gesture and said lightly: "You can either lend the food to the chief manager's mansion, or you can lend the food to the disaster victims! There are two choices, and you choose one to do."

Chen Ran was furious, "Why? Zhang Shaoyin, if we don't borrow, what will happen to you?"

"No borrowing?"

Zhang Dun looked at him with a kind smile, then looked at the dozen or so gentry standing behind him, spread his hands and said, "During this time, the disaster victims outside the city will come to your house every day to ask you to borrow food."

"you--"

Chen Ran pointed at him angrily, "Are you an official? You are clearly a robber!"

Behind the gate of the chief executive's mansion, Changsun Wuji almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard this.

Du Yan shook his head and said in a low voice, "This Chen Ran is not an official after all."

"Yes." Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

With the current situation in Hedong Road, Chen Ran is not an official, so he can sit idly by, but they can't.

If the victims cannot be stabilized, civil uprising is imminent!

At that time, I don't know how many people will die!

Therefore, they felt that Zhang Dun did the right thing. The civil uprising was imminent, but the governor's office couldn't provide food. Even if Cheng Yaojin brought the imperial decree to the surrounding counties and counties that were not affected by the disaster, it would take half a month.

No one can guarantee what will happen in this half month.

Therefore, the most important thing for the General Manager's Mansion at the moment is to conjure up food to relieve the victims!

But where does the food come from?

It can only be pried out little by little from the mouths of these greedy merchants!

From the very beginning, Zhang Dun sent Lu Changshi to ask them to borrow food and persuade them with good words, but they were humiliated by them!

They were indifferent to the victims of the disaster in Hedong Road.

They even want to take advantage of the disaster to make a fortune!

Then I'm sorry, if I don't mess with you, who will I mess with?
