On this day, Yan Chasan was leading people outside the city to inspect the resettlement of the victims, but Bai Yutang ran back covered in blood with Lu Fang on his back.
"Master Yan, my eldest brother was attacked by bandits from Liangshan, and all the food was robbed!"
When Yan Chasan heard the words, he almost fainted.
That was 38 shi of grain. Throwing away these grains not only disrupted all his plans, but also faced the situation of no food for relief in the future.
Although he had already got the exact answer, he still couldn't believe it:
"Liangshan bandits, do they dare to attack the official ships? Intercept and kill the official food?"
Lu Fang smiled weakly and said:
"I underestimated them. Uncle Zhongjing once reminded us, but we didn't take them to heart."
After hearing what he said, Yan Chasan also recalled.
When he first arrived in Jeju, he wanted to send Tiger Wings to supervise the counties, but Cao Bin refused to agree on the grounds that they were threatened by bandits.
After staying for a while, Yan Chasan stomped his feet and said, "It's too late to say anything now, the key is how to save it!"
Bai Yutang said: "My lord, please give me five hundred soldiers, and I will go and grab the food back."
Lu Fang hurriedly said: "Fifth Brother, don't be impulsive. Liangshan Po is eight hundred miles across and has a lot of power. We don't have a navy, how can we attack?"
At this time, Yan Chasan was very anxious, and he didn't care about the previous conflict, so he decided: "I'll go find Cao Bin and Chang Feng to borrow soldiers!"
So he went to Jeju City to ask for help.
Cao Bin refused very simply. He was eager to see Yan Chasan suffer, so why would he help him?
What's more, he only has [-] imperial troops at his disposal, and he has to guard millions of money and food. Once someone takes advantage of the loophole, the consequences will be disastrous.
After all, he didn't trust the local soldiers very much.
However, Chang Feng did not directly refuse, and while dragging Yan Chasan, he secretly prepared soldiers, not knowing why.
Yan Chasan deeply resented that the two of them did not put business at the top of their list, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to buy some high-priced food to tide over the difficulties temporarily.
In a blink of an eye, another half a month passed.
The disaster victims in Jeju and other seven states are already on the right track. Although they are tired every day, at least they will not be hungry.
They have even started thinking about Cao Bin. For the victims, as long as they are fed, they don't care about the reputation of the officials and how much they have been corrupted.
Maybe only the civilians in the city don't read Cao Bin's words. After all, "grain is expensive and hurts the people", Cao Bin made them bear more than three times the price of food, and it has not changed.
But at least they still have life insurance, they can't afford to eat when they go bankrupt, and they also have the option of being disaster victims...
What's more, there is a contrast that is close at hand?
Haven't you seen that the people of Qi, Zi, and Qing prefectures have fallen into dire straits at this time?
They don't even get half a catty of food every day, and if they are not careful, they will freeze and starve to death.
On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, after harvesting the last batch of high-priced grain, Cao Bin was ready to return to Beijing, but the grain merchants were still transporting grain, ready to make a good profit.
Guangji River Wharf.
Many officials and gentlemen surrounded Cao Bin and boarded the official ship returning to Beijing.
"Uncle Cao, have a good journey."
"Uncle Cao, come back earlier..."
They looked at Cao Bin enthusiastically, their faces full of anticipation and reluctance.
Cao Bin also kept waving his hands, looking reluctant to say goodbye.
They were looking forward to Cao Bin asking the court for money, but Cao Bin was fooling them into the trap.
Who in this world is not a showman?
If Cao Bin hadn't been Grand Master Pang's son-in-law, and if he hadn't always had a reputation as a dude, he might not have been able to catch them.
The wonderful thing is that Cao Bin's reputation makes these corrupt officials never suspect that Cao Bin has another purpose.
After all, who would have thought that a corrupt official would attack his party because of corruption?
"Humph!"
After the official ship started slowly, Yan Chasan's cold snort suddenly sounded in his ears.
He has a long way to go, so he got on the boat earlier.
Cao Bin turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile:
"What? Jealousy? You have been an imperial envoy for two months, and you don't even have a person to see you off. It shows your character!"
Yan Chasan said disdainfully: "I don't bother to join forces with these people."
Bai Yutang behind him couldn't help but said: "Cao Bin, don't be arrogant, we already have evidence of your corruption and harm to the people!"
Cao Bin laughed and said:
"Bai Yutang, don't think that because you have taken refuge in Bao Heizi, I have nothing to do with you."
"You'd better be honest, as long as you show a bit of quackery, I will kill you on the spot, and Bao Heizi has no reason to trouble me."
"If you hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and took refuge in Bao Heizi, the grass on your grave would have been a foot high by now."
Bai Yutang didn't expect that the dandy who ran for his life in a panic would become so arrogant after recruiting a master.
This made him very uncomfortable.
And he has always been proud, how could he have heard such ridicule, his cheeks flushed immediately, and he put his hand on the hilt of the sword...
"Do you dare to be presumptuous?"
Seeing this, the sedan chair immediately stood in front of Cao Bin, and the huge figure immediately enveloped Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang's face turned pale, and he said bravely:
"I'm the guard of Kaifeng Mansion now, I don't know how to break the law..."
After speaking, his handsome white face flushed red, he turned and left, not wanting to stay here for a moment.
He had never felt so suffocated before.
Seeing this, Yan Chasan didn't want to say anything, turned around and entered the cabin.
Cao Bin laughed twice, feeling very happy.
In fact, he was very happy to see Bai Yutang take refuge in Kaifeng Mansion.
Don't look at what he said arrogantly, but if Bai Yutang really fled the world and waited for an opportunity to make trouble, there was really nothing he could do.
The Five Rats are also well-known chivalrous men in the Jianghu world. They have many friends and powerful influence. If you mess with one, it's like messing with a nest.
Although the sedan chair is powerful, it can only protect his own safety.
Moreover, people in the Jianghu have always lacked scruples and resorted to unscrupulous methods. If they really want to uproot them, it will be even more difficult.
But entering the officialdom is different.
No matter how great a hero you are, no matter how powerful you are, you have to be honest and follow the rules when you enter the system.
How about Liangshan, you are not afraid of the sky, you are not afraid of the earth. After entering the system, if you are asked to die, you have to die obediently.
Even if you turn against it again, you will become alienated from all relatives and not blend in with the world.
Bai Yutang's entry into the Kaifeng mansion is equivalent to putting himself in shackles. If Cao Bin really wants to be darker, it will be easier to kill him.
Whether it is in the story or in real history, there are too many homework that can be copied...
"Come on, go and move me a chair, I want to enjoy the scenery along the river!"
After arranging the soldiers to guard, Cao Bin rested on the deck, and the sedan chair stood loyally behind him to guard.
This time back to Beijing, Cao Bin only brought a sedan chair and fifty imperial soldiers, and Yan Chasan only brought Bai Yutang and Kaifeng government officials.
After all, there are still disaster relief supplies to be guarded here, and none of them dare to be careless.
The official boat went upstream, and the scenery on both sides of the strait slowly passed by in front of my eyes, which was desolate.
In winter, everything is withered, the vegetation is withered, and it catches up with the severe drought. On this Luxi Plain, it looks even more desolate and lonely.
melancholy...
"Shall I do something?"
Cao Bin was deeply touched by this disaster relief.
Although he never showed it, the vivid faces, hungry and longing eyes of the victims were deeply burned into his heart.
In addition, the head he personally ordered to be beheaded, the gushing blood and the ferocious expression reminded him of the reality of this world all the time.
"I'm still a Chinese after all!"
Da Song is weak and bullied, he knows it.
Yanyun Sixteen States, Hetao, Hexi...
This is the land that Huaxia should have had since ancient times, but it was lost in the Song Dynasty, and the old coins were required to seek peace.
If he just sits idly by, he will always feel aggrieved and unwilling, the unwillingness engraved in his bones, the aggrieved in his blood.
Taking a step back, even if he is really heartless and only cares about his own happy life, he may not be able to achieve his wish.
The existence of Zhao Ji made him feel very dangerous.
Not to mention the enmity between them, but Zhao Ji's status as the king of subjugation made Cao Bin's scalp tingle.
He didn't want to be taken captive and humiliated outside the pass like an animal when he was old.
It's not unfounded that he has this worry.
Because in the Liao Kingdom, although the Liao Shengzong was in power and the Empress Dowager Xiao was regent, Zhao Ji's "good cellmate" Emperor Tianzuo also appeared.
Of these two, one loves painting, the other loves hunting, the other adores Taoism, and the other worships Buddhism, and at the same time they were imprisoned by the Kingdom of Jin.
It can be described as a pair of "bastards".
It can be guessed from here that the current time period is a synthesis of the three eras of Song Zhenzong, Song Renzong, and Song Huizong.
Although the reigning Song Emperor is called Zhao Zhen (Renzong), his personality and personality are more like the fusion of Zhenzong and Renzong, so is it time for Zhao Ji to succeed?
It's very possible....
The results of it?
The emperor was captured, the princess was a slave, and the subjects were livestock.
Just thinking about it makes me feel angry and hateful, wishing to eat his flesh alive......
Just when Cao Bin was worried and thinking further and further away, a male duck's voice suddenly woke him up.
"Are you Uncle Zhongjing, Uncle Cao?"
Cao Bin came back to his senses in a daze, only to see a young man with pimples all over his face looking at him expectantly, with twinkling lights in his eyes.
Cao Bin nodded and asked in confusion, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
Acne was full of admiration and said: "Are you really Uncle Cao? Great, I finally saw you."
As he said that, he said excitedly: "My name is Huangfu Xiaoyi, I really admire you, I..."
His situation is like the appearance of fans seeing idols, making Cao Bin look confused.
But he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, thinking: "I also have fans? Or fanatics? This surprise came so frightfully suddenly!"
So, he quickly pulled Huangfu Xiaoyi up, smiled amiably and said:
"Where do you come from? What do you admire about me? Tell me well!"
Cao Bin asked: "Where do you come from? What do you admire about me? Tell me well!"
Seeing Cao Bin's question, Huangfu Xiaoyi quickly said:
"Uncle Cao, I admire the stories you wrote the most."
""The Injustice of Dou E", "The Legend of the White Snake", and "The Romance of the West Chamber", I have read each of them many times."
"It would be great if I could write such a touching story. I admire you so much. How did you come up with this idea?"
