Soon, it was time for dinner. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jingzhao Yin Mansion Yin Yaoxuan stretched his neck and looked at the street in front of him, looking anxious.

Didn't the imperial court say that people would be sent to distribute food, but what about people?

Seeing that it was time to cook dinner, but he couldn't even see a figure, and so many pairs of eyes stared at him in unison, he was really under a lot of pressure!

Just as Yao Xuan was about to look through it, his subordinates trotted back.

"My lord, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming!"

"Seriously!" Yao Xuan's eyes lit up.

"Seriously, my subordinates have all seen the official flag!" The subordinate nodded busily.

Yao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Go and tell the people below to be vigilant, quickly arrange for the people to line up, and come over to receive food later." ”

"Yes, sir."

After the subordinate left, Yao Xuan personally went to find Meng Zhong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard.

In the past two days, Meng Zhong has been in charge of this place with him, and now that the relief food from the imperial court is here, it is natural to inform Meng Zhong.

When he saw Meng Zhong and told him about it, Meng Zhong was also very happy, so the two went to greet the grain delivery officer together.

However, when they saw the food sent, Yao Xuan and Meng Zhong couldn't help but blacken their faces.

Meng Zhong was in a hurry, and couldn't help but ask the grain delivery officer, "What is this?" ”

The grain delivery officer was a confidant of the Hubu Shangshu, and he knew the whole story of the matter, so he replied with a stiff neck: "What is Commander Meng asking, of course this is food!" ”

"You ......"

Meng Zhong couldn't help but burst into foul language, but was grabbed by Yao Xuan, and swallowed the word "mother" back.

It's just that he is really angry in his heart, and his tone of voice is really not good.

"Grain, open your eyes and take a good look, is this food for people to eat! This is clearly the rice bran that feeds the livestock! ”

"What nonsense is Lord Meng talking about!" The grain delivery officer listened to Meng Zhong's words so straightforwardly, and for a moment, his face was also a little flustered.

But thinking of the instructions of the right minister and the head of the household, he was busy and calmed down, and said in a tough tone: "Lord Meng, you should pay attention to what you say, what is meant to be eaten by domestic animals, these grains were bought by our adults from those grain merchants at a great price, Your Majesty praised our adults for their ability, Lord Meng means that Your Majesty is confused!" ”

"You ......" Meng Zhong is a military general, he is not good at words, but now he has been robbed of white by this grain delivery officer for a while, how can he still talk.

Or Yao Xuan pulled him aside and persuaded: "This person is the henchman of the Hubu Shangshu, and he is the sharpest on weekdays, how can you argue with him?" ”

Meng Zhong roared unwillingly, "Then let them do this, you also saw it, is that what people eat, how do you let me distribute this kind of food to the people?" When did Huajing become so poor that the people had to eat the rice bran eaten by domestic animals! ”

"Alas," Yao Xuan sighed, "how could I think this, but I am a small speaker, how can I sway them!" ”

Meng Zhong's eyebrows sharpened, "You can't help it, I have a way!" Wait, I will go to your majesty, and I don't believe that your majesty will promise them to send such rations to the people! ”

"Don't be impulsive!" Yao Xuan was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed him, "Who did this, it's still unclear, you acted so rashly, if they caught the opportunity and sued you for the crime of framing the court officials, what would you do!" ”

"Then let them run rampant and abuse the people!" Meng Zhong closed his eyes in anger, and only then did he resist the urge to rush to the grain delivery officer.

"Let's accept these first, and we don't know that these coming days are not the best evidence," Yao Xuan whispered, "Don't worry, I'll go to Luo's house to discuss with Grandpa Guo." ”

Meng Zhong couldn't, and knew that what Yao Xuan said made sense, so he had to swallow his anger and take the brown rice mixed with a lot of rice bran.

It's just that when it was time to distribute the salary, in the face of the earnest faces, Yao Xuan and Meng Zhong were very guilty in their hearts.

Meng Zhong couldn't stand it anymore in the end, so he ran to the dead end next to him and pounded the wall for a long time before calming down some of his emotions.

Just as he calmed down and was about to turn back, a small sheepskin pocket suddenly fell from the sky.

Meng Zhong hurriedly looked up, and flew up to the wall again, but he didn't even see a figure.

He had to jump off the wall again, and after thinking about it, he opened the sheepskin pocket.

After a while, he only heard Meng Zhong say yes repeatedly, and then hurriedly folded the bag and put it into his arms.

Yao Xuan saw Meng Zhong go out for a while, and suddenly seemed to be in a good mood, and he couldn't help but feel strange.

But at this time, there were many people, and it was not the time to ask, so I only glanced at him a few times, and didn't say anything in the end.

However, the people watched Yao Xuan and Meng Zhong busy for them in the past few days, getting such "food", and they didn't say anything.

It's just that the look of hope in everyone's eyes has dimmed.

Yao Xuan felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but there was no way.

As soon as night fell, Meng Zhong mysteriously pulled Yao Xuan aside and asked him to follow him to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yao Xuan's mind turned, and he felt that his move was probably related to the sudden change in his mood an hour ago.

After thinking about it, he knew that he probably had some way to deal with it, so he didn't ask much, only arranged for his subordinates to patrol the night, and followed Meng Zhong to Zuo Xiang's mansion secretly.

The two of them drove lightly, without taking anyone, and walked to Zuo Xiang's mansion.

After a while, the housekeeper of Zuo Xiang's Mansion welcomed the two of them in, and then led them directly to Zuo Xiang's study.

As soon as he entered the door, Zuo Xiang smiled and said, "The old man has been waiting for the two of you here for a long time, please sit down." ”

Meng Zhong and Yao Xuan glanced at each other, both a little surprised, and hurriedly said, "The lower official will meet Xiangye." ”

Then, the two sat down left and right.

Meng Zhong was a character who couldn't hide his words, and when he saw Zuo Xiang like this, he couldn't help but ask, "Did Xiang Ye also receive something?" ”

Zuo Xiang stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, "Yes, it seems that Commander Meng has also received it." ”

"Are Xiang Ye and Commander Meng playing some dumb riddles?" Yao Xuan was confused by the words between the two of them.

Meng Zhong laughed out loud, took the sheepskin bag out of his arms, and handed it to Yao Xuan.

After Yao Xuan took it, he opened it and looked at it, and after a while, he was also a little excited.

"With this thing, why worry that Your Majesty doesn't believe it, why worry that the household department is still unsubdued!"

The words were a little strange, so he asked the two of them, "I heard what Xiang Ye meant, I also received such evidence, but who collected this thing, and why did you give it to us?" ”

Zuo Xiang still smiled peacefully, "In this world, there are still more righteous people, and they may have an inconvenient identity, so they will use our hands to punish these corrupt officials." ”

"Yes, what Xiang Ye said is very true!" Meng Zhong also nodded in agreement.

He was in high spirits at this time, as if he had seen that the corrupt officials had been duly punished. (To be continued.) )
