Zhang Wenjin said a few words in vain, and then dispersed and returned to the back house. The chill swept through everyone's hearts, after all, most people still don't want to see frequent personnel changes, which means that the previous standing and efforts have been in vain.

Feng Daoliang happily followed Zhang Wenjin into the back house. The back house of the Beijia Mansion is smaller than the Thorn Mansion, but the people come and go, and there are constantly servants and maids on the road to salute the two, Zhang Wenjin instructed: "Get some wine and food, I want to enjoy the snow with Lord Feng." ”

The gazebo in the back garden is surrounded by a brocade curtain, leaving only the entrance and exit. There are two pots of silver charcoal in the pavilion, which are as warm as spring. Waiting for the wine and food to be served, Zhang Wenjin motioned to the maid to retreat, and Feng Daoliang said with a smile: "My lord, the person surnamed Jiang was punished by the Middle Academy, is it that things have taken a turn for the better, so there is no need to leave in a hurry." ”

Zhang Wenjin whispered: "It's too early to say this, don't remember, when we impeached Jiang Anyi, we thought it was nine out of ten, but in the end, it didn't work, as long as this Jiang Anyi's holy family is not reduced, even if it is temporarily frustrated, it will make a comeback." ”

Feng Daoliang nodded depressedly, drank a glass of wine, and sighed: "My lord is very worried, it seems that we still stand still. ”

"Respond without moving", Zhang Wenjin turned the wine glass in his hand, and said slowly: "The snow disaster in the border area came in time, Jiang Anyi was there to check the layout of the military camp, and he must have been blocked there, so there is no one to preside over the disaster relief affairs in the state capital." ”

"Adults don't want to do something, and they will definitely cooperate with their humble duties." Feng Dao said.

Zhang Wenjin glanced at Feng Daoliang and said lightly: "I just don't drive, what the hell is that heart doing, whether the disaster relief is good or bad, is all borne by Jiang Thorn History." ”

Feng Daoliang came to his senses and said with a smile: "I understand the humble position, I must not move and adapt, and without the seal of the history of the Jiang Thorn, I will never allow a grain to leave the warehouse." ”

Zhang Wenjin raised his glass and touched Feng Daoliang, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

…………

The wind was raging over the empty field, the blizzard was getting more and more violent, looking around, it was white, with Jiang Anyi's eyesight, he could only see the scenery ten zhang away, at this moment there was only one color between heaven and earth, Jiang Anyi and his party lost their way.

The horse could not be ridden anymore, and the five people led the horse to trek hard in the leg-deep snow, looking back at the four guards who were shivering from the cold, Jiang Anyi's heart was full of remorse, he really shouldn't be strong, the power of heaven and earth is beyond the power of manpower. It was getting dark, and if there was no shelter from the wind, the four guards were afraid that they would not survive tonight, and the horses would freeze to death.

Hearing has lost its effect in the wind and snow, Jiang Anyi raised his eyes and tried his best to look around, and there was a faint black shadow in front of him, like a mountain range. The crowd struggled in the direction of the mountain, hoping to find a sheltered col.

Walking out of the half-mile road, Jiang Anyi was pleased to see that there were several yurt houses at the foot of the mountain, and there was a simple fence in front of the yurt, which should be where the herdsmen lived. Hearing the neighing of horses, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a Zi man looked at them vigilantly, asking Jiang Anyi and the others in Zi language. Some of the guards would whisper, explaining that they were dart masters, who got lost in the snow and came to help.

The man smiled and lifted the curtain to let the guest go. There is a fire in the middle of the yurt, boiling crisp tea, and it feels warm and homely. Acha boiled water and boiled tea, took out the food to entertain the guests, and Jiang Anyi motioned to the guards who knew how to speak Zizi to inquire where it was. The result of the inquiry made Jiang Anyi frown, it turned out that they deviated from the direction not long after leaving Jingyuan County, and traveled diagonally to the north for thirty miles, which belonged to the county of Yantu County, and was even farther away from Huiye Mansion.

The next day, the wind and snow did not stop, Jiang Anyi and others helped Aka's family clear the snow, and Aka killed a few thin sheep, and they couldn't survive such weather. Looking at the sad look on Aka's face, Jiang Anyi suddenly realized that he had never considered the people of Huazhou who herded for a living.

Da Zheng is mainly farming, Jiang Anyi's way of thinking about the problem is inevitably biased, he inspected the county to the county seat, there is no chance to contact the grazing people, this snow disaster to the herdsmen brought more serious damage, how to rescue a herdsman like Aka, Jiang Anyi looked at the heavy snow, fell into thought.

It had snowed for another three days, seven sheep had been killed, and some of the lambs had frozen to death, and the smile on Aka's face could not be concealed. On the fourth day, the wind and snow were a little lighter, Jiang Anyi's vision could be seen dozens of feet away, the disaster was like fire, Jiang Anyi didn't want to wait any longer.

The snow on the ground was already chest-high, and horses could not move through the snow at all. Jiang Anyi left the four guards and horses, went on the road alone, and slid with the help of the inner family's true qi, and finally saw the carriage and horses on the road in the distance when he was exhausted.

Ask passers-by that this place is Mengtou County, one hundred and fifty miles southwest of Huiye Prefecture, and it also snows here, but the snow is only a few feet, which is considered to be out of the snow-stricken area. Looking back, it was still white, Jiang Anyi took a carriage into the city and came to the county government with a bump.

Identifying himself, Mengtou County surprised Gao Hai, how could Jiang Tingshi appear here exhausted? Hurriedly asked people to prepare hot water, and after bathing and having a hot meal, Jiang Anyi recovered his spirit and asked Gao County Ling about the situation of the snow disaster.

Gao Hai learned sporadically from the mouths of the merchants who came and went that it had been snowing heavily for five days, and more than a dozen counties near the border had been hit by snowstorms, and the specific situation could not be known until the roads were cleared. Carrying the seal of the history of the assassination, in Mengtou County, Jiang Anyi issued an official document, ordering the counties near the snow disaster to levy and send messengers to clear the roads, and after the roads are cleared, they will transport grain and forage to the disaster area, and prepare pastures to prepare for the relocation of the affected herdsmen.

The official document asked Mengtou County to forward it to the county seat next to it, Jiang Anyi rested for the night, borrowed a horse early the next morning, and finally returned to Huiye Mansion in the evening. Huiye Prefecture has received the news of the snow disaster in the border counties, and according to the usual practice, the affected counties need to report the statistics of the disaster to the prefecture, and then the prefecture will arrange disaster relief according to the severity of the disaster.

Zhang Beijia is sick again, it is said that he is very sick, the doctor said that he can't see the guest and needs to rest in bed, the assassin is not in the palace, and only the youngest Hua Sima of the three giants remains. Hua Sicheng was so anxious that he couldn't move anything other than to send soldiers to inquire about the news.

"Old Shi, where is Master Jiang? This disaster is serious, and there is nothing that can be done without the Great Seal of the Thorn History, and if the officials are investigated, Lord Jiang will not be able to afford it. ”

has dispersed, Hua Sicheng and Shi Qingjian have gathered in Jiang Anyi's back house to discuss with Jiang Anyong and his wife how to deal with the current situation.

Shi Qingjian calmed down and said: "It's useless for Hua people to be anxious, the news from seven days ago that Lord Jiang is still in Linsha County, and it is estimated that he is trapped there." Master Jiang is in the disaster area, he will organize disaster relief, we will prepare disaster relief materials first, and just wait for the news to arrive and start immediately. ”

Hua Siyuan smiled bitterly: "Ready supplies? That Feng Daoliang bit to death, and the official document without the big seal must not be moved to the mansion, I think he just got Zhang Wenjin's instructions, and deliberately wanted to drag things out, and then delay the disaster relief, and the blame should not fall on the adult. ”

Jiang Anyong hurriedly said: "Or I will ride a horse with Shi Shi to Linsha counties to look for it." ”

Siyu interrupted him and said, "Don't make a mess, you can ride a horse to find the uncle, and the uncle will come back by himself." ”

When everyone was at their wit's end, the drums in front of the lobby sounded. There are Dengwen drums in front of the state and county gates, and this drum can not be knocked randomly, Da Zheng Law: The people can beat the drum and sing the song if they are wronged; The people revolted, the siege of the city, and the great calamity can beat the drum; The people made suggestions to the court and could beat the drum to hear it. After the restart of Tongkuang, suggestions and suggestions can no longer be beaten. Zheng Lu stipulates that after the drum beats a pillar of incense, the chief official must come to the hall, and if the delay is not light, the crime is not light.

At this moment, the sky is dark, the gate of the government has been closed, hearing the sound of drums, the officials on duty in the palace hurriedly ordered someone to open the gate, and the officials held a lantern to shine on the lung stone.

"My lord, it's Lord Jiang", the official holding the lantern exclaimed, Jiang Anyi put down the drumstick, and walked towards the gate, the officials and officials saluted one after another, it was Yan Yi who was on duty tonight, and when he saw Jiang Anyi, he let out a long breath and said: "My lord, you are finally back, if you don't come back to the palace, it will be chaotic." ”

While walking Jiang Anyi, he inquired with Yan Yi about the situation of the government, and heard that Zhang Beijia was sick again, and Feng joined the army to hinder the disaster relief arrangement on the grounds that he could not mobilize materials without a big seal.

The lights have been lit in the lobby, Hua Sicheng and Shi Qingjian are standing in front of the lobby and watching, seeing Jiang Anyi's figure from a distance, Hua Sicheng slapped his face, took a few steps down the steps to greet him, and said loudly: "Lord Jiang, Lord Jiang, you are finally here, this is almost burning your eyebrows, you can't mobilize disaster relief materials if you don't come." ”

Jiang Anyi said to Hua Sicheng: "It's hard for Brother Hua, I am coming from the disaster area, the snow in more than ten counties in the northwest is five feet thick, the disaster has been completed, and we must hurry up to provide disaster relief, so I beat the Dengwen drum, convened officials, and discussed disaster relief matters overnight." ”

Shi Qingjian stepped forward and said: "The lord came in time, and if he is three or five days late, he will really make a mistake." ”

Jiang Anyi sat down after coming to the public hall and ordered: "Burn incense and time." ”

At night, the drums beat loudly throughout the city. Don't drive the mansion, Zhang Wenjin, who is sick, is sitting opposite Feng Senjun, drinking wine and listening to songs, and listening to a singer playing and singing.

Hearing the sound of drums, Feng Daoliang put down his wine glass, stood up and came to the door, listened carefully for a while, and entered the house and said: "My lord, I heard the sound of drums, I'm afraid that something big will happen, let's hurry up and go to the mansion." ”

Zhang Wenjin stroked his beard and groaned: "At this time, it can't be a grievance, that is, there has been a change, isn't it the disaster victims making trouble, didn't you say that the Huiye Mansion didn't see the disaster victims?" If you besiege the city, there should be news to report, and the rest is a big disaster, the northwest suffered a snow disaster, and it is estimated that someone from the affected county came to report the news. Leave him alone, Jiang Anyi is not here, the old man is sick, let Hua Sicheng have a headache. Dao Liang, peace of mind to accompany the old man to drink a few more glasses. ”

Feng Daoliang was a little apprehensive, and said with a stiff smile: "My lord, I heard that Wen Denggu could not be punished if he did not have a pillar of incense, so don't be careless at this time, and go to see what is going on first, and then report to the adult." ”
