Chapter 112: The Scourge of Tingzhou
Now in the Yinwang Mansion, there are still so many eyes, especially the emperor who stayed in the mansion, Shangguan Kongyue has not moved.
"You can go. β
Shangguan Kongyue unfolded the paper in his hand as he spoke, and the contents inside came into his eyes, and the information entered his mind.
Watching him look down at the content on the paper seriously, the corners of Ji Yun's mouth twitched, and he typically threw it away when he used it, such a prince is difficult to serve, but he didn't leave, after reading it, if there was something to do next, he didn't want to come over.
Shangguan Kongyue quickly read the news in his hand, and twisted his eyebrows thinking about what he wanted to do next.
Tingzhou is in chaos now.
Lin Xianzhi was originally distributing the grain raised earlier, and the grain transported over was just placed in the newly built granary in Tingzhou, it was night, and he waited for the next morning to send an order to concentrate on the refugees to distribute the grain, but the next morning he opened the granary and saw that the grain inside was gone.
The victims of hunger thought that hope had come, but as soon as the news came, the water around the place where Chin Cha was staying was drained as soon as the news came.
It was also because they didn't know where the granary was, otherwise they would have robbed and stolen it a long time ago, and hunger made them lose their original awe and fear of officials.
Lin Xianzhi and Wang Fang discussed it according to the rules given by Bai Xiang last night, and when they saw the victims in the morning, they first said a word of appeasement, and then the inspector went to the granary to get food.
The victims who sat on the ground and waited for food were waiting for food, but they did not see food coming for a long time.
Just when Lin Xianzhi and Wang Fang were in a hurry when they learned the news, they shouted in the crowd, "The grain was swallowed by the dog official, and the grain in the granary is gone." β
As soon as these words came out, the victims from the streets to the alleys all tensed up their spirits, and instantly rushed towards the government office, thousands of voices clamored for food, and the people who had not heard the words saw the movement in front of them, and also squeezed towards the government office.
The inspectors and local officials sent failed to suppress the riots, and the government was immediately breached by the victims, and the two Qincha also fled in disarray.
On the same day, Kande, the governor of Tingzhou, committed suicide, leaving a letter to admit that he failed to report to the imperial court in time, resulting in countless deaths and injuries among the people, and he felt guilty and apologized for his death.
This is someone secretly provoking and leading the people of Tingzhou to make trouble.
Shangguan Kongyue pondered and crumpled the paper in his hand, clenched it tightly in the palm of his hand, and when he spread out his palm again, there was a white powder left in his palm, which was slapped into the long-necked vase not far away by him, and the light powder did not spill at all in the middle of the way.
Ji Yun waited for his next errand, which was different from what he guessed, he thought that this person would let him rush to Tingzhou to investigate who was behind the turmoil in Tingzhou, and then by the way, he understood the person behind it.
Unexpectedly, he was asked to secretly follow Shangguan Yunque and investigate Shangguan Yunque's next movements.
"Although the King of Chu has damaged a little, he will not destroy his own country, right?" Ji Yun looked at him suspiciously.
"But this country is not his, and it will not be his in the future, so what can't he do about such a thing. Shangguan Kongyue got up and walked in the direction of the bookcase, and said: "Moreover, he has often been in close contact with Li Buyun, the secretary of the ministry, and Tingzhou Zhizhou is Li Buyun's protΓ©gΓ©, and now that Kant has committed suicide, Tingzhou can't say what they are planning." β
"Then wouldn't it be better for me to follow Li Buyun directly?"
"Now that my father has cleared the capital, if there is anything wrong with Li Buyun, my father's people will keep an eye on it, and you can't follow him, go to Shangguan Yunque, just be careful not to be discovered by his people. β
Shangguan Kongyue said seriously, spread out the white paper on the table, and began to write with the ink that had been ground before.
"Don't worry. β
Ji Yun nodded in response, and flew out of the window very quickly, and lost a look at the black moon on the tree outside.
The location of Mufu is not far from Baifu, and there are all officials living there.
Along the way, I saw that the unclothed victims were grouped together by the people from the household department, and I had already seen several porridge shacks opened, and there were also those who distributed clothes, and they looked orderly.
The decree was issued this morning, and it would be quick to make it now.
It's a pity that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, if there are a few more things like Tingzhou, no matter how rich and strong the country is, it will die.
The car drove forward, and soon arrived at the intersection of South Street.
Bai Yuxi watched the officers of the Criminal Department coming and going outside in the carriage, and from time to time he saw that the homes of some officials were raided.
Those ministers who were once high and powerful were shackled and desperate as they passed by the carriage, and those implicated family members were pushed forward, she looked at the faces of those young ladies in the boudoir, some familiar, she had seen them on the princess's birthday, and she was not familiar with them but also lamented their next fate.
Something big happened to the DPRK and China, and what mistakes did these officials make, implicating their families.
Her mood was a little heavy, maybe it would be the turn of the Prime Minister one day, and a sense of crisis suddenly came to her heart.
After watching for a while, the curtain was lowered, and the carriage stopped at the corner of the street, waiting for the officials to come out first, so as to avoid crowding.
"Miss, they're all gone. Bai Li saw that her young lady began to be stunned again, and reminded her.
Bai Yuxi came back to his senses and said: "Then let the groom drive the car, why do you have to tell me about such a trivial matter?"
"Just now, Lord Yin sent someone to say that the road ahead can't be crossed, and we have to take a long detour to go back to Xiangfu or to Mufu. Bai Li explained.
Bai Yuxi looked at her suspiciously, and motioned for her to continue.
"It seems that something unacceptable has been discovered, and martial law has been imposed in front, and no one will let it. Bai Li whispered.
Bai Yuxi lifted the curtain that had been lowered again, poked his head out and looked outside, there were two or three layers of people from the Kyoto Prefecture and the Criminal Department in front of him, Zhang Shuo and a certain official of the Criminal Department were waiting for something with serious faces.
What did you find?
With such a big battle, do you have to wait for a higher official to come?
suppressed the curiosity in his heart, put down the bamboo curtain, and said to Bai Li: "I have to take a detour, hurry up, don't be too late." β
The carriage turned around and headed for the other side.
The slightly restrained spies pretended to pass by after a while to inquire about the news.
These spies were all members of the Kyoto family or the imperial family, and the emperor still gave them a glimmer of life.
Bai Yuxi sighed in the carriage, this is not a good time to go out today, Kyoto is in chaos now, maybe there will be murder.
A few days ago, Bai Yuxian was made into that ghost by her, maybe she had already found a killer to find her trouble.
The carriage shook gently, and the people in the carriage shook until they wanted to sleep.
Suddenly, the exclamation of the coachman came from outside the car, "You little girl don't even look at the road." Then the carriage came to a halt.
Bai Yuxi closed her eyes and didn't open her eyes, Bai Li asked outside the car, "What's wrong?"
