He Ji's heart sank completely, his eyes were full of despair, and he almost cried.

"I have been running Lianzhou for many years, and I am familiar with the terrain and products of Lianzhou, the officials at all levels, the squire, and the needs and thoughts of the people. After the current catastrophe, there have been signs of famine and epidemic on the land of Lianzhou, if not dealt with in time, the famine spreads, the epidemic breaks out, and Lianzhou will become a ghost. ”

He Ji gasped and said, "Disaster relief is like fighting a fire, if you delay one more day, I don't know how many more people will die." I have the ability to lead officials at all levels of the state and county to quickly organize and carry out disaster relief work, which is better than the time it takes for a new person to take up a job and become familiar with the work. The living He Ji is much more valuable than a dead He Ji. ”

After saying that, He Ji looked at Lei Shaoxuan in horror, his eyes full of pleading and longing.

There was silence in the field, and everyone's eyes were on Lei Shaoxuan.

After pondering for a long time, Lei Shaoxuan finally nodded and said lightly: "It makes sense." ”

Seeing this, Shi Songzhe came to his senses.

Shi Songzhe hurriedly said: "I am the Gong Cao of Lianzhou, in charge of the administration of officials and money and grain, these two things are the most important work of disaster relief. The governance of officials can best reflect the effectiveness of management, and the organization of money and grain is also the most urgently needed for disaster relief. ”

Lei Shaoxuan was noncommittal, and looked at Yu Changjing.

Yu Changjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that as long as it is useful, Lei Shaoxuan may spare his life.

Yu Changjing's mind was running rapidly, and he carefully considered the words on his lips, and said: "After the catastrophe, the administration of various places will inevitably be paralyzed, and there will be all kinds of bandits, robberies and various public security problems. Lianzhou's government officials, militia groups, and government soldiers all need to be mobilized and arranged in an orderly manner, which used to be the scope of my authority, and no one in Lianzhou is better at it than me. I beg the general to give me a chance to make meritorious service and serve the people of Lianzhou. ”

With that, the three of them all looked at Lei Shaoxuan.

"Makes sense, very much. Lei Shaoxuan nodded and said: "Disaster relief cannot be organized without people, so I will spare you for the time being, spare your lives, and lead officials at all levels to devote themselves wholeheartedly to disaster relief." ”

Wang Siyi had a smile on her face, she was kind-hearted and didn't want Lei Shaoxuan to become brutal.

Shen Yi's eyes lit up, as if he had seen something funny, his eyes were dripping, and his bad feelings for He Ji and the others had decreased a lot.

She didn't think about it, He Ji and the others seemed to be very important to disaster relief, so it would be a pity to kill them.

The three of them reached out and wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads, and after the tension, they only felt that their legs were trembling and they could barely stand.

After a moment, Lei Shaoxuan sneered again: "The so-called 'three people don't do the same'. The three of them cooperate with the leadership of the disaster relief work, and they will inevitably disagree with each other, and at a critical time, tearing each other down will delay the disaster relief. ”

Lei Shaoxuan looked at the three of them and said expressionlessly: "Therefore, only two of the three people are left, and the last person is washed, thrown into an iron pot, boiled into a broth, and provided for the victims to eat, which can also be regarded as a wake-up call for the disaster!"

When the three of them heard this, they only felt a bone-penetrating cool air soaking their bodies, and they couldn't help but tremble.

Lei Shaoxuan no longer disdains to use the scoundrel words of 'throwing the iron pot in the bath is not murder' to cover up the fact of the killing, which shows that the matter has not changed.

"My lord, who is the last person? What is the competition? Is it a competition or a competition of martial arts? Position, ability or connections? It is a matter of our lives, can you give me a fair chance to compete?" Shi Songzhe said tremblingly.

He was the lowest-ranking of the three, so he was naturally the most worried.

Lei Shaoxuan pondered for a long time and muttered: "Fairness? This is a difficult problem, what is the fairest comparison between people and others?"

When Shi Songzhe heard this, his face turned pale. Among the three, he has the smallest role, and if he is not given a chance to compete, then he is undoubtedly the most likely to be the last one.

After a moment of silence, Lei Shaoxuan clapped his hands and said, "There is!"

Lei Shaoxuan said slowly: "Since it is because of disaster relief, it is better than disaster relief." Disaster relief requires manpower, but it also needs money and food. Think about how much food you can donate to disaster relief, and the one who gives the least money and food is the last person. ”

Bidding for donations?

To put it bluntly, it is to redeem one's life with money!

Everyone in the audience was also dumbfounded.

The only difference is that the kidnappers forcibly robbed people and forced people to pay a ransom for their lives, but He Ji and others came to the door voluntarily, Lei Shaoxuan did not force He Ji to pay the ransom, everything was completely voluntary, but in the final analysis, the death of those who did not pay the ransom was actually forced.

is even more ruthless than the kidnappers, and the kidnappers may reduce the ransom, while Lei Shaoxuan asked the three of them to empty every one of their pockets, and they have to die after they finish it. A typical murderer does not see blood, and when he is killed, he helps him count the money.

He Ji and the others were dumbfounded for a while, and they were speechless for a while.

However, the original fear of Lei Shaoxuan and the resentment of Lei Shaoxuan's untrustworthy words disappeared without a trace, and they turned their fierce eyes to the two people around them.

Lei Shaoxuan gave them a chance to live, this opportunity seemed to be very fair and absolutely just, and the two people around him would rob them of their chance to live.

He Ji and the others even forgot that Lei Shaoxuan should have directly accepted their surrender instead of taking money to ransom their lives.

He Ji's face turned hideous, and he looked at Yu Changjing and Shi Songzhe viciously, today, these two will be his enemies of life and death.

"Five thousand taels. He Ji raised his hand first.

There was a stirring in the field, and there was sarcasm, amazement, disdain, and jealousy in the eyes that looked at He Ji......

The eight-grade officials of South Vietnam only earn one hundred taels of silver a year. Five thousand taels of silver is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for some people, and people can't save a few taels of silver a year, no wonder some people are amazed and jealous.

However, He Ji is known as 'one person is fat, ten thousand households are thin', and donating 5,000 taels to redeem his life is nothing less than a joke for He Ji.

Everyone knows that just an emerald wrench on He Ji's body is far more than five thousand taels of silver, and the insider naturally has a sarcastic look on his face.

Shen Yi put one hand on Lei Shaoxuan's shoulder, and seeing He Ji's distressed look, he said kindly: "Fatty, come on." With such a small bid, it is difficult to save your life! Do you want me to lend you some money? Lianzhou is waiting for you to go to disaster relief, and now you can't ask for money and die. ”

The audience burst into laughter.

He Ji is greedy, obese, and has a sad face when he shouts the price, and he is living with the image of a miser who wants money and does not want his life.

Lei Shaoxuan rolled his eyes, and understood in his heart that Shen Yi was not exactly telling jokes, but sincerely let He Fatzi survive and rescue the disaster.

I have to say that He Ji's words are very inflammatory, but they also show that in addition to being greedy, He Ji's leadership ability is undoubted, so that Shen Yi is moved.

Shi Songzhe breathed a sigh of relief.

As He Ji's confidant and cronies, and in charge of the governance of officials and money and grain, it can be said that the two fattest errands in Lianzhou are in his own hands, if you want to talk about money, Shi Songzhe really has not been afraid of anyone!

He Ji is hugely greedy, but as a prefect, many times, he does not directly come forward to negotiate money, so the appearance is too ugly, and some points are lost. Therefore, He Ji often collected money through Shi Songzhe's hands.

In this way, Shi Songzhe sometimes has more opportunities to make money than He Ji's.

He Ji eats big and not small, Shi Songzhe eats all the sizes, but He Ji is in the way, Shi Songzhe seems to be inconspicuous, and makes a fortune in a muffled voice.

"Six thousand taels!" Shi Songzhe said cautiously with a smile, looking unwilling to go against He Ji.

On the side, Yu Changjing turned a deaf ear to everything in the field, looking sluggish, letting the two of them quote, and did not bid for a long time.

"Seven thousand taels. He Jidao.

He Ji peeked at Lei Shaoxuan, Lei Shaoxuan looked at the excitement with great interest, and did not mean to interfere.

It seems that Lei Shaoxuan really wants to decide the last person in this way.

"Eight thousand taels. Shi Songzhe raised his hand.

The field was quiet, only He Ji and Shi Songzhe slowly bid, and Yu Changjing still had no intention of bidding.

......

"Twenty thousand taels. He Ji wiped the beads of sweat on his face and said.

The bidding has been going on for seven or eight rounds, and the atmosphere has gradually calmed down.

In the field, only the mechanical voices of He Ji and Shi Songzhe remained, and Yu Changjing was still silent, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

"Twenty-one thousand taels. Shi Songzhe said unhurriedly.

......

"Fifty thousand taels. ”

"Fifty-one thousand taels. ”

“......”

After several rounds of bidding, Yu Changjing still did not make a bid.

He Ji and Shi Songzhe's unhurried bidding voices gradually made people feel monotonous and boring, and Shen Yi suddenly said dissatisfied: "Old man, you still don't bid, are you the poorest, don't fight?"

He Ji and Shi Songzhe were in good spirits for a while, and looked at Lei Shaoxuan, Shi Songzhe said carefully: "General, only the two of us are fighting?"

Seeing the moving look on Lei Shaoxuan's face, Yu Changjing woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said, "I haven't bid yet, how can it end?"

"Then why don't you hurry up and make a bid?" Shen Yi said dissatisfiedly, "I'm bored to death." ”

Yu Changjing smiled bitterly. In Shen Yi's eyes, things that are vital to his life are just interesting or boring things, and there is really no way to compare with people.

Yu Changjing accompanied him and asked, "General, after bidding for the price, how long will it take to raise funds?

Lei Shaoxuan was stunned, thoughtful, and said, "Also, if there is no time limit, you can report indiscriminately." One day, before sunset, he handed over the silver taels, shouted the price but could not hand over the silver taels, and Ling Chi was executed. ”

He Ji and Shi Songzhe's faces changed slightly, and Ling Chi was more cruel than throwing an iron pot to cook soup.

Thrown into a boiling iron pot, he died instantly, and although it was ugly to boil into rotten meat, the pain suffered was extremely short, and Ling Chi was executed, and he did not die for a few days, but it was better to live than to die.

Yu Changjing nodded and said fiercely: "300,000 taels!"

Like a pebble, it slammed into the water, breaking the silence in the field.

The officials' eyes widened for a moment.
