Chapter 240

Qin Caisang heard every word he said you and me. After hearing those unkind words earlier, she originally planned to punish them with minor punishments, but later she lost her mind to care about them.

Seeing that there has not been any rain at this time, it seems that Yuzhou is in a famine year again, and there are continuous major and minor disasters in various places.But having said that, is Emperor Zhaoning really that kind of king who waits for his promises and doesn't tolerate gossip?Even storytelling has to interfere, isn't it too unbelievable?Forget it, in the end it is to know people and face but not to know one's heart.And Satsuma, the Satsuma who was regarded as a ghost, is interesting, but after so many days, he has no intention of leaving. It has nothing to do with previous years, but if all this is really just the beginning...

She felt bored in her heart, couldn't help sighing secretly, paid the money and went out of the teahouse. It happened to be the hottest time, and the street was deserted. She raised her hand to try to cover the scorching sun, and walked back to the inn unhappily. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the waiter put a plate of fruit on the cabinet, smiling and beckoning her to choose.The fruit had been cooled in the deep well, and it tasted both ice and sweet. After sweeping away the suffocation of summer, she felt refreshed, and when she thought about what happened just now, she felt ridiculous.

But after hearing those pretentious words, why are you really worried?Life is a bit sad at most, and it won't be any worse, so why worry about it?

She asked for a few more fruits and went upstairs to bring Xie Chenge and Samo, and quickly forgot about it.It's just that the weather is getting hotter, and storytelling is not very interesting, so she goes out lazily, and sometimes takes Samo out at night, and asks Xiaoer to buy story books during the day, and kills time casually.

Day after day, neither Yu Zhou nor Yang Cheng saw any movement.She was really flustered with idleness, but she also said that Samo didn't move, so she had to suffer.

At noon that day, she suddenly thought of Zuiwanlou's Bingyu Cake, so she went downstairs to ask Xiaoer to buy a copy, but unexpectedly Xiaoer spread her hands and said that Zuiwanlou had closed down, and asked why, so she went to buy a copy. Zhizhen was prophesied by that man.

——Several villages not far from Luoyang City were infested with flying insects.

She didn't understand at first, but after listening to Xiao Eryi, she realized that the flying insects are migratory locusts, and she immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.She remembered reading in a book that locusts would always be born in a severe drought, traveling in swarms, covering the sky like clouds and the sun, eating up the grass and trees in the places they passed, and eating up hundreds of miles like frost, and even eating up all the grains, and the people had nothing to gain. , It can be said that a year of hard work has paid off.This time, however, it has become more and more serious. Luoyang has experienced a three-year drought, and there is only a small amount of food in reserve. How can it be sustained?I heard that Lizheng from various villages outside the city has rushed into the city one after another, asking the magistrate to open a warehouse for relief, but so far there is still no response.

And Luoyang was not the first to be hit by the disaster. Yuzhou is so big that I don't know how many people are in dire straits.

Seeing her flustered expression, Xiao Er hurriedly tried to comfort her: "Don't worry, girl, the imperial court will not ignore such an important incident. Now Hanjia's granary is here. It won't be long before someone will come to open the granary and release the grain. Time will naturally return to normal. Now it’s just that the dry people are listening to the wind and rain, but it’s a big deal.”

The more Qin Caisang thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, so he went to the street. Seeing this, Satsuma wanted to follow, but she forced her to go back.She seldom goes out, only to see that the street has changed a lot, not only the pedestrians are sparse, but also many shops on both sides are closed. It is clear that it is under the scorching sun, but it is quite depressed.

She unconsciously sighed, but she didn't know what help she could do. After seeing the situation, although she was very embarrassed, she couldn't do anything. She sighed and was about to turn around, but suddenly heard a call from somewhere, Looking around, it was officers and soldiers who were driving a group of people towards this side.

Those people were all in tattered clothes, yellow and emaciated, sobbing and dragging, they were pointed forward by Pu Dao, seeing that they had no martial arts, they were not the children of the Beggar Clan, they didn't know what crime they had committed.A person in the middle was walking, suddenly fell to the ground, struggled a few times, and someone came to help him, but he still couldn't get up.But the officer just kicked him up with his feet, cursing and swearing in his mouth, which was very unpleasant.

After all, Qin Caisang couldn't see it and intervened in the past.The leader saw the long sword on her waist, hesitated for a while, but didn't turn his face immediately, and said in a firm tone: "Officers and soldiers are on business, unrelated people wait to get out of the way."

"Even if you are on business, you shouldn't behave like this." Qin Caisun glanced at the group of people, "What crime did they commit?"

The leader said angrily, "What crime they committed has nothing to do with you. If you don't get out of the way, I will sue you for obstructing official duties."

"Then you can give it a try." Qin Caisang sneered, "It's just that if you want to accuse someone, you should go to court, but the direction you're going here is clearly going out of the city. That shouldn't be a big deal sin, and there is no such reason to disregard human life."

"What are you?" The man was obviously furious and forgot his scruples, and reached out to draw the knife, "Get out of the way quickly, or..."

"Otherwise what?" Qin Caisang sneered, she was much faster than him in drawing the sword, and at this moment, the soldier's face changed drastically, looking at her, he was speechless.

But someone inside suddenly shouted to her: "Are you the Heroine Qin? Are you the Heroine Qin Caisang?"

The tone of the voice was quite weird, Qin Caisang couldn't help being slightly startled, after listening to him say it several times, he finally guessed what he meant, nodded, "I am."

The man suddenly knelt down on the ground with his knees bent, and cried out, "Nvxia Qin, we are innocent! We are innocent!"

Qin Caisang glanced at the people who knelt down with him and the officers and soldiers whose expressions had changed drastically, somewhat at a loss, "You guys get up first and then talk about it, what's going on?"

The group of people talked in a hurry, with strong local accents, and it took a long time to finally explain the matter almost clearly.It turned out that they were refugees fleeing the famine in northern Henan and wanted to find a way out, but the magistrate issued an order not to allow them to stay in the city.The officers and soldiers were also trembling in that incident, they only said that it was all the magistrate's idea and begged her to spare their lives.Seeing that they were already scared to death, she couldn't ask any more questions, so she told them to leave, and gave the money to the victims to thank them for their kindness and leave, and then went straight to Luoyang Mansion.

Holding a sword in her hand, she rushed into the mansion, but no one stopped her at all, but she stopped someone to ask the magistrate's whereabouts.Although she has been in the future for several years, she still has a vague impression of this place. All the way to the back hall, she saw a man with a big belly lying on the lap of a maid who was carefully picking out his ears, and several The maidservants sat around him, one fanned him, and the other two beat his legs. Seeing her coming in aggressively, the maidservants froze immediately, and their movements stopped unconsciously.

Then the magistrate spat: "Little Hoof, what are you doing?"

Qin Caisang sneered, "Go out."

Those maidservants looked at each other, finally did not dare to disobey her, and stood up silently, leaving only the maidservant unable to move and trembling.The magistrate was already angry, pushed her, and sat up by himself, but when he saw her, he suddenly lost his voice, "Nvxia Qin, yes, what can you do?"

He actually recognized her, and drove the maidservant away, while speaking, he glanced at her tremblingly.

Qin Caisang also saw that he was somewhat familiar, and only now remembered that this person was Zuo Fengyuan's former master, who seemed to be surnamed Chi, but he did not know when he gained fame and became the head of this mansion.

She sat down on the table and looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, "Your Excellency has been promoted to the magistrate. It is Qin's fault that he has not congratulated you yet."

"Don't dare, don't dare." Master Chi—now Chi Zhifu wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I don't know if Miss Qin is here, what's your business?"

Qin Caisang looked at his erratic eyes and felt disdainful. His predecessor was still acting, but this person was sneaky. She was not in the mood to argue with him, but said coldly. : "Since your Excellency is the parent official of Luoyang, you should know that several places in Luoyang have been plagued by locusts."

"I know, of course I know..."

Qin Caisang sneered, "I'll pretend you don't know."

Chi Zhifu said cautiously: "Why did Miss Qin say that?"

Qin Caisang was too lazy to go around in circles with him, "Since you know it, why do you want to expel the people?"

Chi Zhifu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Miss Qin doesn't know something, and this is for the sake of calming the hearts of the people."

Qin Caisang was really taken aback, "Really?"

Zhifu Chi looked at her with a seemingly unfriendly expression, and gradually became more courageous, "It turned out that this is not a big disaster. I have already informed the Zhizhou and persuaded them well, just go back and wait quietly. If it is true that there is no harvest and the grace of God is great, they will naturally allocate money and grain. But they just don't listen, they just spread some rumors, causing panic among the people in the city, and I have no choice but to invite them out of the city... "

Qin Caisang thought that he really had some brilliant ideas, but later when he heard him call out Qu, he found it ridiculous and annoying, and became even more reluctant to talk to him, "When did you write it?"

"What, what?"

Qin Caisang said impatiently, "Zhezi, when did you write it?"

Chi Zhifu said: "A few days ago..."

Qin Caisang saw him hesitate, and couldn't help but shudder, "A few days ago?"

Chi Zhifu immediately changed his words: "Four days...no, three days...it's three days!"

Qin Caisang looked at him coldly, and passed the sword forward, "What day is it?!"

Chi Zhifu was taken aback, "Yesterday! Yesterday!"

Dang Kou raised his head suddenly, coming straight to his face.Chi Zhifu closed his eyes and shrank back, but Qin Caisang put his sword back into its sheath, and smiled angrily, "Well, that's great, he really loves the people like a child."

Zhifu Chi opened his eyes after a while, touched his neck, and carefully wanted to explain something, but Qin Caisang only said coldly: "Put on your clothes and follow me."

Zhifu Chi was scared out of his wits, he just thought she was looking for a secluded place to get to know him, and refused to move, "Nvxia Qin, I will write another note, I will invite those victims back, my official ..."

"What are you afraid of? If I want to kill you, I can kill you right now." Qin Caisang interrupted him with a half smile, "Send it away, just send it away, it's just that the victims came from afar, so it's not easy to return empty-handed. You and I go to open the warehouse and take out some grain..."

Chi Zhifu was taken aback, "Qin Xia, I don't understand..."

"Don't understand? I think you understand very well." Qin Caisang said coldly, "Get up and ask someone to go to Hanjia warehouse to release the food!"

"No way, no way!" Chi Zhifu scrambled and fell out of bed, "Qin Xia, this is going to lose my head!"

Qin Caisang gently caressed Dang Kou, and said casually: "Well, if you don't go, you will lose your head."

Zhifu Chi shook his head like a rattle, and suddenly had an idea, "Qin's heroine doesn't know something, this, this Han Jiacang is a line of its own, even if the government wants to open the treasury, it can't be done! That Kumen Several heavy locks have been added, and this official only has one of them, and the other one is in the hands of Master Zhizhou. He has to accept the order of the emperor before he can open the warehouse. impossible!"

Qin Caisang half-believingly said: "Isn't it just a lock? My sword can barely be regarded as cutting iron like mud. You can give it a try."

Chi Zhifu shook his head and said: "Nvxia Qin is naturally holding a sword, but the lock is tempered with a special skill, and it won't help if you chop it with a knife or an axe."

Qin Caisang didn't listen to these, he was talking nonsense before doing it, and only said: "Are you leading the way?"

Zhifu Chi had no choice but to reluctantly take her to Hanjiacang.The warehouse was half built underground, and there were indeed several chains hanging on the door. Qin Caisang swung his sword and cut off his head twice, but the last one didn't move at all. He did not lie, so he asked him where Zhizhou is now.

Zhifu Chi said with a mournful face: "Nvxia, although Luoyang is the place where the state capital is located, it has long been useless. The prefect government has moved to Ruzhong ten years ago."

"You?"

"Yes." Chi Zhifu nodded his head like a pounding garlic, "Even Ruzhong, Heluo Cang is also there, there must be some food left."

Qin Caisang didn't make a sound, stared at him for a while, and finally nodded slowly, "Okay, I'll trust you for now."
