Chapter 735: Embezzlement of Disaster Silver
Nangong Ming closed his eyes and thought for a long time before he said slowly: "Stay for two days first, at least wait until my injuries are better, let's go again!" ”
Concubine Wu nodded, and that was the only way. It just so happened that it was time to change the dressing, and Concubine Wu was now very glad that she was a country woman, otherwise the two of them in distress would really be over this time.
The stone in his hand was still pounding herbs, and immediately the cave was full of herbs. Nangong Ming looked at Concubine Wu's attentive appearance, and his heart was very sweet.
Concubine Wu carefully untied the bandaged wound, then slowly removed the medicine she had applied yesterday, gently cleaned the wound with a warm handkerchief little by little, and then kissed the medicine.
And from beginning to end, Nangong Ming was extremely cooperative, but he frowned and didn't squeak, which also made Concubine Wu feel a lot less pressure, otherwise she would really be more nervous.
Anyone who sees such a deep wound has not healed yet, although it does not ooze blood, but many people will still gasp when they see it, so it is indeed very difficult to take medicine on Nangong Ming's injury.
After taking the medicine, Concubine Wu helped Nangong Ming to lean on again, and then helped him put on a cloak. Then go out of the cave, of course, pick up the soft sword on the ground, there is no weapon outside, how to find something to eat, how to protect nature?
Concubine Wu wanted to find some herbs, some herbs that can stop bleeding and replenish the body, Nangong Ming had a fever last night, and it will definitely be today, so she has to pick some herbs and come back.
Although I only learned a little bit from the people in the village when I was a child, I can't take care of it much, and it's better to drink medicine than not to drink medicine!
Nangong Ming looked at the quiet cave, Hui'er was very good at cleaning up, in this dilapidated cave, there was a pile of firewood that was picked up, presumably before he woke up, he had already picked it up in the cave.
There were also all kinds of fruits in the broken bowl on the side, and the jars were still burning on the fire, but they smelled very good, and there should be something to eat in them.
It's just that Hui'er only cares about finding food for herself, but she can only eat those sour fruits. Nangong Ming's heart is warm, a woman is willing to leave good things to a man, and she eats things that are not delicious, does it mean that she still loves herself?
Nangong Ming wanted to move his body, but unfortunately Nangong Ming, who was sweating because his arm hurt if he moved slightly. And Nangong knows that the most important thing is to get better quickly, if you don't get up, you can't leave here with Hui'er, and Hui'er must continue to suffer here.
The thick hay under him is not comfortable to lie down, at least not too uncomfortable. By the way, Nangong Ming suddenly remembered that Hui'er's foot seemed to be sprained. So Hui'er has been taking care of herself, but she is enduring the pain in her feet.
Nangong Ming then remembered that because of the pain in his body, he forgot that his foot was sprained. And when Hui'er came out of the cave just now, it was obvious that there was something wrong with his walking posture.
Nangong Ming blamed himself even more, blaming himself for being too careless, and said that he would take good care of Hui'er, but he didn't expect to let Hui'er take care of himself.
Wan Gonggong's heart was trembling, and he didn't know where the emperor would go, let alone that the emperor would be in danger, but Wan Gonggong's heart just couldn't settle down, as if something had happened.
When Gonggong Wan thought of the Empress Dowager who was far away in the capital, he felt that his head could not be saved. If the Empress Dowager knew that the emperor had left on his own initiative, it was estimated that she would be killed from the capital to Jiangnan, and the first thing to do was to clean herself up.
Wan Gonggong hates! How did he let the emperor convince him? How can you help the emperor cover up? But when Gonggong Wan thinks about it now, he doesn't think that he has a choice, the emperor is completely an order, and he doesn't give himself a chance to oppose it at all.
Now Gonggong Wan is only looking forward to the emperor's return as soon as possible, but he has already arrived at the agreed place and is waiting for the emperor. Father-in-law Wan can think about it, if the emperor doesn't come in three days, he will have to send someone to find him.
Otherwise, when the time comes, there will be a mess, who will take the responsibility! Father-in-law Wan watched the emperor grow up since he was a child, and finally looked forward to the emperor's appearance, and he could enjoy happiness with him, but he didn't expect to be greedy for such a thing, Gonggong Wan felt that he was really pitiful, he had been a eunuch for a lifetime, and he didn't have a few days to live in peace.
Since receiving the emperor's visit to Jiangnan, the officials in Jiangnan have played with the spirit of ten million points, and have made the appearance of seeking benefits for the people.
The food sent by the emperor before he went to Jiangnan has been slowly delivered to the people, and the disaster in Jiangnan seems to be strict, but it is not as scary as it was reported.
And the reason why the officials in Jiangnan said this was just to let the emperor allocate more grain and silver, and the people would only need to give a little bit at that time. If there are more, they can go into the pockets of Jiangnan officials.
Why can these Jiangnan officials come up with such a ruthless trick? It is nothing more than watching the emperor ascend the throne for the first time, and he must be eager to stabilize the government, and he does not want anything to happen that is not conducive to the stability of the court.
Once you hear that there is a disaster in the south of the Yangtze River, whether it is silver or food, it will definitely be a great willingness. At that time, everyone only needs to take out half of it to save the disaster in Jiangnan, but the remaining half will be able to fatten all the officials in Jiangnan.
Naturally, no one opposes such beauties, of course some people oppose them, and the people who oppose them are all small characters who don't understand the market in Jiangnan at all, and such a big thing will also let those small characters know.
It was this boldness and greed that made the governor of Jiangnan dare to send such an excerpt to the capital, and dare to accept a large amount of grain and silver sent by the imperial court.
And these corrupt officials in Jiangnan didn't have time to be happy for a few days before they received the emperor's will from Jiangnan. At this time, the officials in Jiangnan panicked, this is not a disaster relief, but it is better to remedy, at most, the disaster money will be returned to the people immediately.
But this is not a disaster, lying about the disaster, and embezzling the imperial court's silver, which is really difficult to deal with. It is impossible to deliberately splash water to drown in a flooded place, even if the officials think, how many villages in the south of the Yangtze River,
No amount of land can be dealt with in a day or two. Can you make it look like you've been in a disaster, and can you stop thousands of people from talking?
The Jiangnan officials, who were originally proud, began to be anxious about something. So I didn't hear that Gonggong Wan and the emperor had arrived, and the Jiangnan officials all asked to see him outside the post house and asked the emperor to live in the other courtyard that had been prepared a long time ago.
But the father-in-law around the emperor refused, saying that the emperor was unwilling to work the people and lose money, and he was not willing to trouble the ministers.
After turning away all the officials who came to visit, the ministers began to wonder what the emperor meant.
Why did you go to Jiangnan but not see the officials in Jiangnan? And they are only willing to live in a post station with relatively poor conditions?
But when the officials returned to Beijing to report their duties, they had all seen it, and this person was not fake. And the guards brought by the emperor are indeed the Jinwuwei in the capital!
But the emperor didn't want to see it, and no one dared to come hard. Therefore, the officials came to the post house every day to greet the emperor, hoping to get the emperor's audience, but it was a pity. It's been two days, and the emperor still hasn't seen anyone. R1152
