Under Hong Gaogong's arrangement, the male victims soon rode out of Nanguan Village and went south to find his fellow victims. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhao Junchen's temporary act of kindness is likely to be a turning point in the fate of these victims, but for Zhao Junchen, it is just an inconsequential, temporary matter, and it is not worth too much attention.

At present, there are many more important things that Zhao Junchen needs to deal with.

After the male victims left, Zhao Junchen's attention turned to the remaining three female victims, asking them many details about the disaster in Xinzhou, the dynamics of the local government, and many things that these victims had seen on the way to escape the famine.

The three female victims were grateful to Zhao Junchen for rescuing their companions, so they also answered everything and answered Zhao Junchen's various inquiries in as much detail as possible.

After asking, Zhao Junchen's expression was a little solemn, and he became more and more convinced that what happened in the northwest provinces was not simple! As for the disappearance of the imperial court's disaster relief grain and grass, I am afraid that it is not just the greed of local officials to intercept ink.

According to the explanations of the three female victims, the drought in Xinzhou is extremely serious, more than half of the fields have not been harvested, and the Xinzhou government is not only ineffective in disaster relief, but also continues to collect taxes and grain from the people, so the people of Xinzhou are simply living in hell on earth, and there are often cases of fleeing from the village.

The village of these three female victims just couldn't stand the disaster in Xinzhou and the oppression of the government, so they fled the village to flee the famine, this team of victims was more than 300 people at the beginning, but they were repeatedly intercepted and arrested by the local government along the way, and when they arrived in Lu'an Mansion, there were only more than 20 people left.

However, after the local government arrested the victims of the famine, no one knows the details of where the arrested victims ended up, what happened to them, and what their current situation was.

According to the descriptions of the three female victims, Zhao Junchen secretly calculated, and he was secretly surprised in his heart!

The victims of the disaster in Xinzhou are very serious, at least thirty percent of the victims have fled the famine, and most of these people have been arrested by the local government! In other words, in Xinzhou alone, nearly 10,000 people who fled the famine were arrested by the local government!

This is only the situation in Xinzhou, and the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi and Gansu together have a total of twenty-three state capitals! There are a total of fourteen state capitals like Xinzhou! If the situation in each place is the same as in Xinzhou, wouldn't it be said that the yamen in Shanxi and Shaanxi and Gansu have arrested more than 100,000 victims one after another during this time?

After getting this number, Zhao Junchen was naturally a little surprised in his heart!

Capturing 100,000 victims is no small matter! How could it be that there is no news about the whereabouts of these 100,000 victims, and this matter is even more bizarre!

At the same time, Zhao Junchen had already vaguely guessed the truth about the disappearance of the imperial court's disaster relief grain and grass - after arresting more than 100,000 disaster victims, it was necessary to provide these 100,000 disaster victims with subsistence rations, which meant astronomical food consumption!

However, why did Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi arrest so many people fleeing the famine? What exactly is their real purpose?

Regarding this, Zhao Junchen has not yet guessed.

In other words, Zhao Junchen vaguely guessed a possibility, but this idea was too terrifying, so Zhao Junchen didn't dare to think deeply!

In the end, Zhao Junchen shook his head slightly, threw some conjectures out of his mind, and waved his hand to let the three female victims leave.

Then, Zhao Junchen's expression was a little stiff, but he still squeezed out a smile, turned his head to Zhou Dafu and asked: "Nanguan Village is a big village near Lu'an Mansion, Mr. Zhou, as a big household in Nanguan Village, must often have the opportunity to see the Lu'an Prefect, right?" ”

Zhou Dafu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied: "The grass people's virtue and ability are shallow, and they don't dare to let Lord Zhao call him Mr., Lord Zhao, you can just call the grass people by their names...... Back to Lord Zhao's words, the grass people did meet with Lord Sun of Lu'an Governor a few times. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and ordered: "In this case, there is something I want you to do for me, that is, tomorrow you will go to Lu'an Mansion in person, and you must let Sun Miao, the prefect of Lu'an, come to Nanguan Village in person...... But you must never reveal my identity and whereabouts, understand? ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's statement, Chow Tai Fook guessed that Zhao Junchen was going to trouble the Lu'an prefect, so he naturally hesitated a little in his heart.

As a big family in Lu'an Mansion, once you offend the Lu'an Prefect, it will definitely be a catastrophe, and you may have to ruin your family.

But under Zhao Junchen's gaze, Chow Tai Fook finally gritted his teeth and replied: "What do you say, Lord Zhao, what should the grass people do!" The grass people will go to Lu'an Mansion City early tomorrow morning, and they will definitely invite Master Sun to the village. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded with a smile and said, "Since that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you...... Rest assured, there will definitely be benefits for you in the future, and there will be no future troubles for you. ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's promise, Chow Tai Fook's expression relaxed a little, and he thanked Zhao Junchen again and again.

Next, the people of Nanguan Village finally prepared food, which was all kinds of chicken, duck and fish, as well as white flour steamed buns, rice, and all kinds of home-cooked dishes, which were extremely rich.

You know, although Nanguan Village is a relatively wealthy village in Lu'an Prefecture, but the villagers often only eat meat and white noodles during the New Year, they are still in order to entertain Zhao Junchen and his party, but also made a bloody investment, there are many families in order to entertain Zhao Junchen and others even do not hesitate to slaughter the hens that lay eggs!

Under the warm hospitality of the villagers of Nanguan Village, everyone felt what it meant to be "at home", whether it was Zhao Junchen's entourage or Hong Gaogong's Jinyiwei, they were all extremely satisfied this night.

In the face of the enthusiasm and simplicity of the villagers in Nanguan Village, and then thinking of their cruel methods to treat outsiders, Zhao Junchen's mood was still a little complicated, but he didn't plan to change anything, nor did he plan to let the people of Nanguan Village suffer, but after dinner, he gave Wang Laozhang a hundred taels of silver, and let Wang Laozhang distribute it to the people of Nanguan Village, which was enough to compensate the villagers for their losses.

Uncle Wang originally didn't want to accept Zhao Junchen's silver, but at Zhao Junchen's insistence, he finally accepted the silver with a thousand thanks, and repeatedly sighed that Zhao Junchen was the old man of the blue sky who had been seen for a long time.

By the end of the day's dinner, the villagers had vacated a large number of empty rooms for Zhao Junchen and his party to rest, while Zhao Junchen, Bao Wenjie, Hong Gaogong and others went to Zhou's house to rest under the leadership of Zhou Taifu.

After entering Zhou's house, Chow Tai Fook gave his bedroom to Zhao Junchen. And Bao Wenjie did not rest immediately, but stayed in Zhao Junchen's room to discuss the information he had collected today with Zhao Junchen.

Because there was no evidence yet, Zhao Junchen did not tell Bao Wenjie about his guesses, so the discussion between the two did not have any results.

In the end, seeing the moon hanging on the branches, Bao Wenjie also took the initiative to say goodbye to Zhao Junchen.

However, before leaving the room, Bao Wenjie thought of Zhao Junchen's action to help the victims today, but he suddenly said: "Lord Zhao said today that he is an official of the imperial court and needs to be responsible for all the people under the rule of the imperial court...... Such feelings make Xia Guan deeply admired, and I only hope that Lord Zhao will be able to have a beginning and an end in the future, and be consistent in words and deeds! ”

After saying that, Bao Wenjie turned around and left.

Seeing Bao Wenjie's performance, Zhao Junchen shook his head and smiled.

Zhao Junchen knows very well that although he has many good deeds, these good deeds have nothing to do with feelings, ambitions, and ideals, just so that he can sleep more peacefully at night!
