Chapter Eighty-Seven: Whipping
At this time, after hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's words, everyone felt weak for no reason.
Chu Xiaoxiao didn't care about them, she snorted coldly, stepped forward and kicked the door open.
Yongzhou Taishou Lin Xie is now over half a hundred years old, and decades of pampering do make him look like a man in his early forties, but his body is a little fat, showing a bit of funny meaning in it.
At this time, Lin Xie was warming up with the concubine who had just entered the house, and was suddenly kicked open the door, so he was inevitably a little angry, and couldn't help but say, "Get out!"
"Get out?" Chu Xiaoxiao sneered, and then stepped forward again, "Now that Yongzhou is in a catastrophe, Lord Lin is so chic in this Taishou Mansion." ”
Chu Xiaoxiao remembered that this Lin Xie seemed to be a relative of the Lin family, and thinking of the mother and daughter of the Lin family in the capital, Chu Xiaoxiao's impression of the Lin Xie in front of her was even worse.
Lin Xie looked at Chu Xiaoxiao seriously, and a pair of small eyes the size of mung beans instantly narrowed obscenely.
"The little girl was born well, but her temper is a little worse, so treat the official well......"
Chu Xiaoxiao's expression was already gloomy at this time, and she glanced coldly at the official who seemed to want to remind her, and before Lin Xie could finish speaking, she directly raised her leg and kicked Lin Xie's body.
The force of this kick was really not light, and it kicked Lin Xie's heavy body out in an instant, smashed through the half-hidden door on the spot, and smashed it into the courtyard at once.
"You...... You ......"
Lin Xie was so frightened that he couldn't speak at all at this time, so he could only lie on the ground and look at the girl in front of him who followed him out of the room with fear, "You...... Who are you?"
Hearing Lin Xie's words, all those who already knew Chu Xiaoxiao's temper were nervous, for fear of being angered by Chu Xiaoxiao.
One of the accompanying guards hurriedly stepped forward and said to Lin Xie: "Presumptuous, this is the county lord of Huaiyang!"
"Huaiyang County Lord?" Lin Xie was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he didn't even remember who the Huaiyang County Lord was.
But this is not to blame him, although Chu Xiaoxiao is a celebrity in the capital, the master is not famous all over the world, and Lin Xie, who is far away in Yongzhou, naturally does not know.
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at his reaction, not only was she not angry, but she laughed gloomily, "It seems that Lord Lin is not very sober, and you still need me to wake you up." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, before Lin Xie could comprehend what it meant, he saw Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly pull out a long whip from his waist and flick it in the air with a "snap".
"You...... What do you want to do?!" Lin Xie looked at Chu Xiaoxiao's cold eyes, although he was a little afraid, but in his heart, he didn't believe that Chu Xiaoxiao would really do anything to him, so he still said aggressively: "Beating up court officials is a big crime, you dare to ...... Ahh
Before Lin Xie's words were finished, the whip in Chu Xiaoxiao's hand suddenly fell on his body, and everyone could see that the fat on Lin Xie's body shook violently.
"Don't I dare?" Chu Xiaoxiao sneered disdainfully, and the whip in her hand fell like a storm.
Although Chu Xiaoxiao is not good at whips, as long as it is a tool that can repair people, no matter what it is, it can be handy in Chu Xiaoxiao's hands.
After a while, the fat Lin Xie was already scarred.
Because it was summer at this time and the weather was hot, wherever Chu Xiaoxiao dropped the whip, his clothes must have been torn directly, and a piece of skin and flesh could be turned over directly.
"Don't ...... Don't fight......"
Lin Xie couldn't stop wailing, but in the face of the whip that hit his body like an ordinary storm, he couldn't avoid it completely.
"Don't fight?" Chu Xiaoxiao sneered and said directly in a loud voice: "Shouldn't you be beaten? Because the officials are not benevolent, you let the people under your rule die and be injured and indifferent! You should not only fight, but also die!"
The other people present were also shocked when they saw that Chu Xiaoxiao actually raised the whip directly at the imperial court officials, but they didn't know why, but no one dared to step forward to stop Chu Xiaoxiao, as if as long as they took a step forward, the whip would fall on themselves.
When Chu Xiaoxiao finished fighting, an official who followed next to him cautiously said, "County Lord, ...... now?"
After entering Yongzhou City, Chu Ci, who can call the shots, took a group of imperial doctors to observe the epidemic among the refugees, and now only Chu Xiaoxiao has the highest status among everyone.
The official who asked was a clerk in the disaster relief team, and during this time, it could be seen that this Huaiyang County Lord was not an idle person, so he naturally didn't think that Chu Xiaoxiao came to this Taishou Mansion just to give Lin Xie a beating.
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao gently hooked the corners of her lips meaninglessly, and then asked, "How is the situation in the city now?"
"This ......" The clerk didn't expect Chu Xiaoxiao to ask such a question at all, after all, they had just entered the city today, how could he know what the situation in Yongzhou City was now?
But looking at the look on Chu Xiaoxiao's face, the clerk didn't dare to answer like this.
After hesitating for a long time, the clerk spoke: "Back to the county lord, now that there is a shortage of food and medicinal materials in Yongzhou City, if it continues like this, I am afraid that there will be chaos." ”
Chu Xiaoxiao naturally knew about this situation, and she didn't open her mouth to get any other answer.
This year, the northern generation of Izumo Province originally had a bumper harvest, but because of this plague, many profiteers took the opportunity to raise the price of medicine, and then bought grain at a low price behind their backs, which led to the situation that there is neither food nor medicine in Yongzhou City today.
"After all, isn't there just no money? Chu Xiaoxiao said with a leisurely smile.
The clerk hurriedly said: "What the county lord said is that now the treasury is not very rich, and the disaster relief silver allocated by the household department is afraid that it will not be of great use, and now it is indeed very short of silver taels, but we can persuade the rich merchants and gentry in Yongzhou to donate ......."
"In that case...... Open the treasury!" Chu Xiaoxiao directly ignored the unfinished words of the paperwork and said in a cold voice.
Let that group donate money?
Even though Chu Xiaoxiao had never dealt with those people, she knew how difficult it was to pluck the feathers on the iron rooster.
It's better to take care of Lin Xie first, and then deal with those profiteers one by one after she frees her hands!
After a while, Chu Xiaoxiao's gaze slowly swept over everyone, and then looked at Lin Xie, who had fallen to the ground and couldn't get up, with an extremely cold smile on his lips: "In addition, Yongzhou Taishou Lin Xie was responsible for the emperor's order, and he was ashamed of the people, and he felt embarrassed and landless, so he voluntarily donated half of his private property for disaster relief!"
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of everyone present widened in surprise.
