Chapter 388: Disaster Relief
In front of the largest granary in Suzhou and Hangzhou, King Chen suffered a setback.
This granary is of great significance, when it was built, in order to prevent theft, all measures were taken, but I did not expect that one day this anti-theft measure became a measure to prevent him.
Huang Jue was already so frightened that he couldn't stand steadily, and then he simply knelt on the ground, kneeling at the feet of King Chen, the sweat on his head kept dripping, and the whole person looked very cringe.
Having said that, this is also his own sin, if it weren't for the greed for those fame and fortune who chose to cooperate with the King of the Creek, the King of the Creek would not have found this wonderful opportunity, and this scene would not have appeared.
Speaking of which, the ultimate trigger is power and money.
The disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court were stripped one by one, and when they really arrived in the disaster area, there was usually not much left, and during the period of visit, King Chen had seen too much.
It is true that King Xi is capable, but the fanatical pursuit of money has also made these officials follow suit, and the scenes of dying for these yellow and white vulgar things have happened repeatedly.
"The siege tools will be brought soon, even if this door is destroyed today, this granary must be opened for this king, Huang Jue, you had better pray that there is enough food in it, and the quality of the grain also meets the requirements, otherwise, the head of this person on your neck will be cut off and kicked as a ball."
King Chen, who has always been gentle, said such words, it seemed that he was really angry, Huang Jue's heart beat unusually fast, and he quickly knelt on the ground, and the fabric between his legs was a little wet.
King Chen can't take care of these, in his cognition, if the door of this granary can't be opened, it will still be implemented on Huang Jue in the end.
As the person in charge of the granary, he didn't know that the locks of the granary had been secretly replaced, and he couldn't even open the granary in an emergency, so what was the use of him.
Huang Jue obviously felt the change in King Chen, hung his head, his body trembled, but he didn't dare to say a word for himself, and defended himself for half a point.
Cheng Yi took a group of people and carried the siege equipment over, and a big log thicker than a person's waist was between the two, and King Chen glanced at Huang Jue coldly, and raised his hand at his subordinates.
The person who received the instruction carried the log and started work in full swing.
The heavy knocking sound seemed to hit Huang Jue's body, and every time it passed, Huang Jue's face was half sad.
The log knocked on the door of the granary under the action of man, and after three times, the closed door of the granary was slightly loosened.
After more than a dozen strokes, the solid granary door finally broke, and Cheng Yi and the others collapsed to the ground tiredly, looking at the granary that had been knocked open with a large gap.
It was so dark that I couldn't really see it, and I couldn't even tell if there was food in it.
King Chen looked down at Huang Jue, who was still kneeling on the ground, his body trembling as if he had been put naked into the ice and snow, and the corners of his mouth hooked.
Since you are so afraid, you naturally have to make good use of it.
"Lord Huang." King Chen's cool opening.
Huang Jue, who was already thinking about how he was going to die next on the ground, raised his head violently and looked in the direction of King Chen, and the fear in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Now that the door has been opened, Lord Huang might as well give us a head first, we people are naturally not very familiar with the internal structure of the granary, where can we compare to you, Lord Huang." King Chen's words made Huang Jue, who was already afraid, shrink even more.
Naturally, he knew the internal situation of the granary, and the grain stored in it was far less than reported.
If it is said that some oil and water are cut out of the disaster relief funds to repay the law to the people, then this matter is really related to him.
In the past few years, he has done all the grain collection, and he naturally knows best how many kickbacks he has eaten in the middle.
Huang Jue knelt on the ground, sweating like rain, until the next time King Chen spoke, the words in his tone became sharp, and then he got up slowly, his body trembled like chaff, and he walked slowly towards the granary that was only a few steps away from him.
The inside of the black and dark was like a big mouth of blood that had been opened, and Huang Jue's heart was like ashes.
I thought that even if it was a disaster relief, it was just a minister in the imperial court, so that he could escape this catastrophe with money bribes, but he didn't calculate it, and the emperor actually sent King Chen directly.
If it is the king of the stream, there is still room for maneuver, but if it is the king of Chen, it is equivalent to blocking his last way of life.
In this officialdom, who doesn't know that His Royal Highness King Chen is the most upright with two sleeves, and whoever bribes are turned away, the idea of wanting to pull him into the same camp has never been extinguished, but it is quite difficult, King Chen has almost formed his own system, although there are not many veteran courtiers standing beside him, but there are indeed many new young generals.
They are all literati of promising magnates who are passionate about the country, and with the blessing of Lord Liang, even if the current King Chen does not invite the emperor very much, Huang Jue does not dare to despise it.
Huang Jue took the lead, and the people behind him were holding torches in their hands, and those few people who were Huang Jue were stopped by King Chen before they entered the granary.
Huang Jue looked up expectantly, thinking that King Chen had changed his mind.
The silver he prepared for King Chen was ready, and when King Chen let go, these large boxes of silver would be carried into King Chen's mansion unconsciously.
Huang Jue didn't expect that King Chen's opening was just to ask his people to throw away the torches.
It's full of grain, and I don't know how much there is in stock now, so if these people are allowed to go in with torches, if anyone shakes their hands and the torches fall into the grain pile, the grain will be burned, and who should be approached to reason at that time.
Huang Jue glanced behind him and glanced at them.
King Chen was very sensitive to this information, and before Huang Jue could speak, King Chen spoke first, "It seems that Lord Huang's subordinates are very unsatisfactory." ”
As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Cheng Yi, who was sitting on the grass resting beside him.
"In that case, you guys should work hard and follow Lord Huang into the granary again." King Chen looked at the few people sitting on the ground and said with a smile.
Huang Jue was stunned for a moment, looked at Cheng Yi and the others, and his heart was like ashes.
King Chen didn't trust him and blocked his last channel.
After listening to King Chen's words, Cheng Yi and the others immediately stood up from the grass, patted the dust on their bodies, and stood behind Huang Jue with a well-trained person, almost driving him into the inside of the granary.
When he walked to the door, Cheng Yi glanced at it a few times and thought thoughtfully.
