Dujie Patriarch is cannon fodder

After a while, Rong Yi asked puzzledly, knowing that the governor of Bianzhou is not a good person, why should such an important matter of disaster relief be entrusted to him, and you don't worry about him getting rich?

Xiao Changqing described it calmly, but looked at Rong Qi curiously, waiting for his answer.

Rong Qi took a sip of some cold tea, and said without pretending to be mysterious: "The governor of Bianzhou lied about the disaster situation, so that the food we brought for disaster relief is not enough. The local food in Bianzhou has already been taken over by the local big households." If there is, we will sell it at a high price in order to make huge profits. Those who come are all from the court. They may lower the price a little, but the court will inevitably owe them favors, and at least some benefits will be given to make their future road more secure. .”

Xiao Changqing pursed his lips tightly, his face was gloomy, his eyes were frosty, and he said slowly: "Without the acquiescence or promotion of the governor of Bianzhou, the local big family would never dare to do this."

Rong Yi continued: "The governor of Bianzhou belongs to the Yu family. The Yu family has a queen and prince in the palace, and the entire Yu family's powerful family in the court. Half of the officials dare not offend the Yu family, so they will turn a blind eye to the situation in Bianzhou. Close one eye, or just ignore it."

Rong Qi nodded: "If the big local households are required to hand over their food, those of us who come from afar will not succeed. We don't have much time for disaster relief, and they can completely waste it on us. When we leave, what does Bianzhou look like? They still have the final say. Of course, we can also kill chickens and monkeys, as long as there are policies and countermeasures, we don’t know how much they can offer.”

Xiao Changqing raised his eyebrows lightly, showing a soft smile: "The situation in Bianzhou is investigated and reported every year, and no one knows better than the governor of Bianzhou."

Rong Yi smiled and said: "So, you let them go dog-eat-dog? It's really wonderful!"

Now that he had made it clear, Rong Qi stopped answering.He lowered his eyelids slightly, thinking about how to deal with the next thing.

Rong Yi still had some doubts and wanted to ask Rong Qi clearly, but just as he was about to speak, Xiao Changqing made a silent gesture to him, and pointed to Rong Qi who was thinking.

Rong Yi immediately fell silent, he stared at Xiao Changqing strangely, when did he know Chang Xi so well, didn't he not care about Chang Xi some time ago?

The first thing the governor of Bianzhou did when he returned to the mansion was to have all the famous doctors in the city brought into the mansion for examination, but the final result was that his pulse was stable and strong without any signs of poisoning.

After getting the definite result, the governor of Bianzhou completely let go of Gao Xuan's heart, and ordered the kitchen to prepare a large table of delicacies from mountains and seas. After using them, he went to the backyard to find a concubine to have some fun.

However, the reassurance of the Bianzhou governor only lasted until midnight. He was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms, but the sudden abdominal cramps woke him up instantly. The quilt was soaked quickly.

Seeing his miserable condition, my concubine immediately asked someone to call the doctor, but the result of the doctor's investigation was the same as before, and he showed no signs of being poisoned.Rong Qi's words flashed in the mind of the semi-conscious Bianzhou governor, he tried to open his eyes, bit the back of his teeth enduring the pain, and wanted to explain something inarticulately, but he stumbled for a long time because of the pain , still no one heard what he said clearly.

The knife-shaped pain lasted for nearly two hours. After the pain passed, the governor of Bianzhou described him as haggard and depressed, and his whole body was particularly decadent.He rested on the bed for a while to relax, and immediately had someone carry him out of the city.

The person who met the governor of Bianzhou was a maid brought by Rong Qi. After learning that the purpose of the governor of Bianzhou was to meet the princess, she said with apologetic face: "The princess is worried about the poor people in Bianzhou, and the third highness is courteous to the king of the county." I went to inspect the disaster situation, and I am not sure when I will return."

The governor of Bianzhou visited the eldest princess for three consecutive days, and the results he got were without exception.

For three days, the governor of Bianzhou couldn't eat, swallow, sleep, or sleep. He quickly lost weight and became haggard, described as rickety and haggard.His complexion seemed to be covered with a layer of yellow wax, and it was hard to find a healthy color.His eyes were cloudy, and his energy and energy seemed to have disappeared in the past three days, and his whole body exuded a deep and dead air.

On the fourth day, the governor of Bianzhou waited outside the city all night, and went to see the eldest princess when the sky was shining. This time, he was not disappointed, and stopped the princess when she was about to go out.

Rong Qi looked at the governor of Bianzhou who was kneeling in front of him with calm eyes, and said slowly: "Master Yu, let's get up first. My palace is going to the disaster area now. If Lord Yu has time, I can also follow me." Go around."

The governor of Bianzhou wiped off his cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "If you have time, I will arrange it, this time."

Rong Qi paused slightly, tilted his head and gave Bianzhou governor a sideways look, seeming to let out some mocking laughter.The governor of Bianzhou didn't know if it was his illusion, and he didn't dare to think about it.Seeing that Rong Qi was drifting away, he had no choice but to give up the previous 'arrangement', endured the pain and weakness all over his body, and tried his best to keep up with Rong Qi's footsteps.

Just as Rong Qi walked not far away, he saw Xiao Changqing and Rong Yi were already waiting with their horses, so he quickened his pace and went to join them.

When Rong Yi saw the governor of Bianzhou, his face was full of disgust and he didn't hide the slightest bit: "Why is he here?"

Bianzhou Thorn's scalp was slightly numb, and he immediately lowered his posture, paying respects to Rong Yi and Xiao Changqing.

Rong Yi didn't wait to see the governor of Bianzhou, after inspecting the disaster situation in the past few days, he only felt that this person was beyond description.

Xiao Changqing was calm and forbearing, although he hated the governor of Bianzhou in his heart, he could not show it on the face, he asked the governor of Bianzhou to stand up coldly, without saying too much.

Bianzhou has not seen water in the sky for several months. The farmland and rivers have dried up, and the wells in many places are also drying up. The common people not only have difficulty eating, but even drinking water.Among ordinary people, there are many people who have not changed their clothes and bathed for several months.

The governor of Bianzhou had just arrived at the gathering place of the refugees, and his face immediately turned pale. He covered his nose and lips with his hands, trying to stop the stench coming from all directions.

Seeing this, Rong Yi couldn't help mocking: "My prince heard that Lord Yu's governor's mansion is prosperous in all seasons, with countless exotic flowers and plants, flowers falling in spring and summer, and fruits in autumn and winter. Lord Yu has never set foot in the residence of ordinary people. place."

The governor of Bianzhou wanted to say something to refute Rong Yi's ridicule, but when he saw the ragged and emaciated common people, he was speechless.In front of him on the left, there is a pair of grandparents and grandchildren. Their clothes are dirty and old, and they can only barely cover their bodies.The old man's complexion was sallow, and he was described as short and thin, as thin as a handful of dry wood.The younger one coughed constantly, his bones were broken, and he looked dying.The young one leaned against the old man's arms, his eyelids drooped weakly, his lips were dry and colorless, and he murmured that he was hungry.

Rong Qi walked slowly, walking side by side with the governor of Bianzhou. He looked at the listless people around him with a gentle expression, and asked, "How does Lord Yu feel about this situation?"

The governor of Bianzhou carefully looked at Rong Qi's expression, seeing that he was neither happy nor angry, he felt uneasy again, he pondered for a while, and thought about his words: "It's my negligence."

Rong Qi did not comment on the words of the governor of Bianzhou, but said: "Master Yu is busy with business, so it is understandable to neglect the people, but I hope that once or twice is enough for the master to neglect them. Unbearable."

The governor of Bianzhou couldn't find a chance to ask Rong Qi for an antidote, and Rong Qi deliberately didn't mention it. He and Rong Yi and Xiao Changqing took the governor of Bianzhou to wander around several nearby villages for a day.

Zhang Qian and Sun Yue were in control of the disaster relief money and food, so they had to take the plan. Although the disaster relief matter was urgent, but because Bianzhou lied about the disaster situation, the money and food were far from enough, so they had to redo the plan to meet the urgent need.

It wasn't until dusk that Rong Qi and his party returned to the station. The governor of Bianzhou also cheekily asked Rong Qi for an antidote, but Rong Qi said: "I have already told my lord before that the relief time given to me by the emperor is only For one month, it must be effective in time, the adults are the parents and officials in charge of Bianzhou, and this Palace needs the assistance of adults."

The governor of Bianzhou understood that Rong Qi was staring at him, his eyelids drooped slightly to hide the ferocity in his eyes, but his voice was respectful: "I don't know what the subordinates can do?"

Rong Qi didn't directly tell the Governor of Bianzhou what to do, he looked up at the twinkling stars, and said slowly: "It depends on Master Yu's heart, whether life is more important, or things outside the body are more important."

After Bianzhou Inspector left with a lot of worries, Dongshuang immediately set up a belated dinner, as well as Xiao Changqing and Rong Yi's.After dinner, Xiao Changqing and Rong Yi bid farewell to Rong Qi and left.

The next day, Zhang Qian and Sun Yue presented the newly drafted disaster relief plan. After reading it, the three of Rong Qi felt that there was no problem, and they could be handled immediately.The task of negotiating with the two chief officials on the distribution of relief food fell on Rong Yi, while Rong Qi and Xiao Changqing continued to go further to the village.

No matter who it is, it is inseparable from the water source to survive. The villages near Bianzhou have not many water sources that are still producing water. In the case of prolonged drought and no rain, the few few may also dry up.Before the old water source dries up completely, a new water source must be found to replace it.

After a few more days of going out early and returning late, good news came to Rong Qi one after another. In the villages he and Xiao Changqing had searched for, at least two new water sources had been dug out. It's a little easier.

After several days of searching, Rong Qi and Xiao Changqing also discovered the law of the existence of the water source, and they told the people of Bianzhou about the law without reservation, and asked them to find the water source by themselves.

After the people explored, they found new water sources one after another.

The people had food and clean water, and the gloom around them dissipated a lot, and most of the faces and eyes of the people were radiating hope again.

It's always better to be alive than dead.
