Chapter 203: Turbulent
Listening to the prefect's words, Qi Heng's eyes couldn't help but wrinkle.
Yesterday (rì) he had only seen the silver moon, and with his (shēn) son, I am afraid that he would not be able to do such a thing (qíng).
"Who are you going to see?"
The prefect raised his hand in a panic and wiped the sweat on his head, and said nervously there: "I heard that it is an elder in the Silver Moon Tower. ”
"So what?"
Somehow, Qi Heng suddenly thought of Yinyue's meaningful words to him when he left yesterday.
Could it be that he was put on a position by him?
"So, last night (rì) Xia Guan drank too much and didn't go over to count. However, the person who kept the silver was in the hands of someone who trusted me, and there was absolutely no problem. ”
The prefect hurriedly absolved himself of responsibility, for fear that Qi Heng's responsibility would be pushed onto his (shēn).
But before he finished speaking, Qi Yu kicked him directly to the ground.
Suddenly the pain swept over the prefect's quan (shēn), but he still didn't dare to move more, so he shrank (shēn) aggrievedly and continued to kneel there and kowtow to admit his mistake.
However, Qi Heng looked at the prefect with a sneer, "Lord Prefect, you said that those people are people you trust?" ”
"Yes, yes." The prefect hurriedly spoke, "They are all old people who follow me, and there will be absolutely no problem." ”
Afraid that Qi Heng would not believe it, the prefect hurriedly said: "The lower official can use his own head to vouch for it." ”
"Head?"
Qi Heng's eyes were murderous, and he glanced at his cronies (shēn) on the side.
Hearing this, the cronie took a step forward and said to the prefect: "Lord Prefect, as far as I know, your so-called cronies, this morning (rì) the house has already been empty. ”
Qi Heng took over, "Is this what you call a cronie?" ”
Hearing the people in front of him say this, the prefect instantly collapsed on the ground.
Those people have followed him for so many years, and there must be no problem. But when they were gone, they were at a loss for words.
"The Great Prince......
The prefect wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but he didn't know where to start. "The eldest prince is really wronged in the palace."
At the end of the day, he could only say that.
But who knew that Qi Heng shook his head, sat back in his position and said to the prefect: "I don't know if I have been wronged or not, but after the investigation of this prince, the prefect guarded and stole himself, colluded with his cronies, and stole the disaster relief money." ”
"This prince came on the orders of the emperor, and he must seek justice for the people of the world."
Qi Heng tapped his fingers indifferently there, and said these high-sounding words with a dull look.
And the prefect who was kneeling there below didn't know what to do.
"The eldest prince spares his life, the eldest prince spares his life......"
"Xiaguan...... Don't dare anymore! ”
But no matter how he asked for help, Qi Heng didn't even raise his eyelids more, just waved his hand and let the guards drag the prefect down.
This time, he couldn't escape death!
Then, Qi Heng thought for a moment and turned his gaze to his cronies (shēn) next to him.
"If you can't find the silver before it gets dark today, you can come to see it."
Of course, Qi Heng knew that the silver would not be the prefect, and with the courage and ability of the prefect, it was impossible to remove such a large amount of disaster relief funds.
It's just that this matter (qíng) needs someone to take responsibility immediately, otherwise how can he protect his reputation when it reaches the emperor's ears.
Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, Qi Heng can only give up a small prefect.
After getting Qi Heng's order, the people who were busy ran out with a roll. All the people in the room were silent, not daring to move more, for fear that the next second the angry rescue received their own (shēn).
Newspaper –
As a result, the room was quiet for a short time, and the guards guarding the gate of the courtyard hurriedly came in to report.
The man didn't notice the strange atmosphere in the room at all, but respectfully knelt on the ground and said, "The Great Prince of Qiqi, the general who guarded the city just came to inform him that the city gate was smashed open by a group of refugees outside. ”
"Didn't those people keep us all away? Why did you rush in all of a sudden? ”
Qi Heng slapped it on the table, but the guard didn't know anything, so he had to lower his head and pass on the words of the person who had just spoken at the door to Qi Heng in its original form.
"According to the people who defended the city, those victims seemed to be crazy, and as soon as they entered the city, they went crazy to rob things, and specially selected those rich and noble families to go in and grab things, and the officers and soldiers couldn't stop them at all."
"Can't stop it?"
Qi Heng looked up at the person who spoke, and the guard was so frightened by Qi Heng's (yīn) gaze that he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to say a word.
"I don't think you want to stop it." Qi Hengqi was almost speechless.
"Those victims are infected with the plague, I think you people are afraid of death, right?"
Everyone knows this truth, but Qi Heng is still angry.
However, fire is fire, and the problem is still solved. Qi Heng said to the guards: "Pass on the order of the prince, let them all go and stop me."
Those who violate the order will be beheaded, and they will have a hundred taels of gold. ”
If the plague was really allowed to make a ruckus in the city and infect the people in the city, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Jiangnan region is rich, but it is one of the places that the emperor values the most, how can there be such a mess.
It's just that Qi Heng doesn't know now that the matter of the plague (qíng) has long been solved by Zhou Huan and Meng Qi. And now those who make trouble are just the people they arranged.
For those people, Zhou Huan is their lifesaver. Therefore, Qi Yu borrowed Zhou Huan's name and turned (shēn) to negotiate a deal with those people.
However, these Zhou Huan don't know now.
After scolding the guards and leaving, Qi Heng smashed a lot of porcelain in the room in a fit of rage.
The girls stood outside the door and wanted to come in to clean up, but they didn't dare, so they had to keep their heads down and guard the door.
It wasn't until the sound in the room gradually lowered that the people outside dared to gasp for air. I don't know how long it took, but Qi Heng finally calmed down slowly.
"Take out the disaster relief money we brought from the imperial court and hand it over to those disaster victims, and by the way, appease public opinion."
Qi Heng waved his hand to the guard next to him (shēn) and commanded, and then thought for a moment.
"Since they are robbing those rich merchants, let's stand still for the time being, anyway, those people have money and it is regarded as a good deed."
In this pile of complicated things, Qi Heng chose to focus on avoiding the light, which was already the best solution he could think of.
This time has been calm, but he did not expect that all the wind and waves would suddenly hit today.
Qi Heng was caught off guard in the face of all this, but for Qi Yu, his revenge had just begun.
……
After finishing speaking, Qi Heng waved his hand to let the people on the side (shēn) prepare to carry it out, but suddenly a familiar voice appeared outside the door.
The person who came opened his mouth and said, "The eldest prince must not do this. ”
"Before, because of the collection of disaster relief silver (qíng), those people originally had a somewhat rebellious attitude towards the eldest prince. Now, if they find out that the Great Prince is still conniving at the people who have been affected to encroach on their wealth, I am afraid it will be ......"
Qian Bin continued: "You know, rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry. ”
He looked serious, and he did hear a lot of discussion on the way here, so he knew more about the situation in front of him.
Before, Qian Bin had already noticed the unreliability brought about by such an approach. It's just that there weren't so many things happening at that time (qíng), and in order to blindly please Qi Heng, he didn't hesitate to choose Qi Heng's advice to him.
But who knows, but it has caused a great disaster today.
Qi Heng listened to the voice and was stunned for a moment before looking at the person who came, but that person was Qian Bin.
"Qian Bin?"
Qi Heng looked at the visitor in wonder, "You still dare to appear here?" ”
When the surrounding guards heard Qi Heng's voice, they immediately showed their cold long swords and surrounded Qian Bin.
But who knows, in front of such a scene, Qian Bin is not afraid at all. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Qi Heng and said, "Great prince, my subordinates were kidnapped yesterday, and I finally escaped when I got the opportunity." ”
When he arrived, he noticed that the people were looking at him a little strangely, and although he didn't know what was going on (qíng), he still had a bad premonition in his heart.
Therefore, Qian Bin explained to Qi Heng the reason for his late arrival as soon as possible.
Yesterday, after raising funds for disaster relief, he originally planned to return immediately to escort him to the eldest prince. But in the end, there were distracting thoughts in my heart, and after leaving some for myself, who knew that as soon as I left the place where the goods were hidden, I was knocked unconscious.
Then they locked him up.
In the middle of the night, he was beaten badly, and he finally survived last night, and he fled in a panic early this morning when he was empty.
Qian Bin felt that if he hadn't taken the time to get the opportunity to escape, he might have died in Huangquan by now.
It's just that when Qian Bin told Qi Heng in front of him about what he had experienced (qíng), Qi Heng's face didn't show any disbelief.
Instead, Qi Heng directly took the knife in the guard's hand and put it on Qian Bin's neck, "Qian Bin, you are so bold, you betrayed this prince and dared to come back!" ”
"Do you know that this prince has been wanted by you for a whole day and a night?"
Hearing this, Qian Bin was completely stunned, why did he want to arrest himself?
Is it possible?
Before Qian Bin could think clearly, he was kicked on the right shoulder by Qi Heng, and when he fell, his shoulder was directly pierced by the long sword.
Suddenly, blood flowed ......
"Don't recognize it?" Qi Heng sneered.
"You have to come up with evidence before you admit your guilt?"
Then, Qi Heng waved his hand, and the guards outside the door put the two boxes of gold hidden in front of Qian Bin in front of him.
