Su Zhenzhen looked at the closed door, I don't know what the emperor can ask? I hope that the answer to all the strange causes of this village can be found in this horse bandit leader.

The emperor sat on the throne and left two of his men in the house in case the horse bandit leader attacked him. He raised his chin and motioned to let go of the horse bandit leader for the time being, then looked at the other party fixedly, and asked in a deep voice: "Why do the villagers in this village have no contact with the outside world at all, and why do they let you rob?"

The leader of the horse bandits snorted, looked at the emperor with disdain, and sneered: "Who do you think you are?" Lao Tzu advises you, don't worry about the affairs in this village, otherwise you will suffer, understand? ”

"If you don't say it, you're going to suffer now!" The emperor said coldly, with a faint anger in his eyes. This horse bandit dares to have such an attitude towards him! Is it long?

"Cut!" The leader of the horse bandits said disdainfully, "Who wouldn't talk big?" Lao Tzu will tell you plainly that this matter was instructed by the county official in charge of this area, and if you are nosy, it will be against the official family! ”

As he spoke, the leader of the horse bandits carefully observed the emperor's expression, wanting to see if he had been frightened, and was a little surprised to find that the other party had not changed.

It is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake, even if this person has a bit of power, he should always have some scruples when he hears that the magistrates are involved in these things, right? How did you have this expression?

The emperor pondered for a moment and asked, "You mean, the magistrate here colluded with you horse bandits, causing the villagers in the village to be completely ignorant of communicating with the outside world, and still allowing you to rob, right?"

The leader of the horse bandits sneered and said, "Since you have guessed everything, what are you asking?" Are you in a panic? ”

The emperor laughed angrily, slapped the table and said, "In that case, you lead the way to the magistrate's house, and I will interrogate this magistrate properly!"

The leader of the horse bandits was originally disdainful, but when he noticed the "I" in the emperor's words, his rampant face narrowed slightly.

He looked at the person in front of him, and secretly said in his heart, this person is the current saint? Or did he just hear it wrong? Or was this man deliberately trying to scare him?

"Didn't you hear, why don't you show me the way!" Seeing that the leader of the horse bandits did not react for a long time, the emperor said angrily.

The leader of the horse bandits was not as rampant as Fang Cai, and stood up without saying a word, and he really led the way for the emperor according to his words.

Headed by the emperor, he appeared at the gate of the county government with a group of people, and watched someone escort the horse bandits to the county office, and many people were surprised to follow behind and go to the county office, you must know that they are deeply affected by the horse bandits.

The entourage who accompanied him all the way went to beat the drum, and the county magistrate ran out in a hurry, wearing an official hat as he walked, looking impatient.

"Might~Martial~"

The county official was shocked: "Who is in the hall?" Why not kneel? ”

The emperor and his entourage walked directly to the high position and took out a token accompanying the prince, because he didn't want to expose his identity, and if his identity was exposed, it would be dangerous, which was also what Su Zhenzhen and Concubine Xian meant, and they didn't want the emperor to take risks.

When the county magistrate saw that it was the token of the prince, he was immediately frightened, and immediately gave up his high position and knelt down, originally he planned to let people find a chair to sit aside to listen to the trial, but the emperor didn't give him a chance, and kicked him directly to the hall: "You get down, I'm looking for you." ”

The county magistrate only saw clearly when he arrived at the hall at this moment, and the horse bandit was also caught by them in the party, the county magistrate glanced at the horse bandit and immediately looked away, this must not be discovered!

The emperor glanced at him coldly: "County official, do you know these people?" ”

The county official shuddered: "Lord Wang, I don't know, what are you bringing these people for!" ”

The emperor was not in a hurry, and explained: "Then I'll tell you about these!" It's a horse bandit! Any idea where I found them? It's in your jurisdiction! ”

As soon as the county magistrate heard this, he immediately confessed: "The lower official knows that he is wrong, please ask the prince to deal with the crime of negligence of the lower official." ”

The emperor snorted coldly, this county official is smart, and immediately admitted the crime of negligence, didn't he suddenly break off the relationship with the horse bandits? Does he think everyone is so stupid that he is the only one who is smart? Hum!

The emperor snorted coldly: "County official, you are positive in this confession!" But this king has one more thing he wants to discuss with you, and this horse bandit said that you have helped them a lot! ”

The county magistrate knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't admit it! This is a great sin: "What a wrong!" Lord, I am in the county government every day, where can I collude with the horse bandits! ”

When the leader of the horse bandits heard that the county official didn't plan to care about them, he was anxious: "County master, you are crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!" That's not how you did it when you took filial piety! We have a transaction record here, and I've handed it over to the prince! Don't shirk it anymore! ”

The county magistrate knew that he couldn't shirk it now: "Lord Wang, I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong!" The county magistrate kowtowed as he spoke, and he didn't feel that his head was broken, just kowtowed.

At this time, the people who came with him knew that the prince was coming, and immediately knelt on the ground, you said a word to me about the evil deeds of the county officials, and the emperor knew that the county officials were too hateful, and they actually oppressed the people.

The emperor immediately ordered the beheading.

When the matter of the county government came to an end, the emperor took Su Zhenzhen and his party to live directly in the county office.

The emperor felt that he owed the people here for so many years, and discussed with Concubine Xian and Su Zhenzhen to comfort the people.

The emperor couldn't think of a way for a while, so he told Su Zhenzhen and Concubine Xian to let them think of a way to give the people practical things. Su Zhenzhen and Concubine Xian discussed it directly together.

Concubine Xian was a beautiful lady before, and she never knew the life of the people at the bottom, and she was rewarded with some gold and silver jewelry in the palace, so all she wanted was to reward some gold and silver jewelry.

After all, Su Zhenzhen is modern, and she has just crossed over to be in a farmer's house before, so she knows that what the people need most is actually food, because the conditions in ancient times were limited, and the grain output was not high and taxes had to be paid, so the people had the highest requirements for food.

Su Zhenzhen told Concubine Xian what she wanted, and Concubine Xian was also persuaded by Su Zhenzhen, and the two finally decided to send food to the people.

The two went to find the emperor early the next morning.

"See the Emperor."

The emperor also knew that they were coming, and there must be a way, so he asked with bright eyes: "Get up!" What do you think? Have you figured out a solution? ”

Concubine Xian originally wanted to give the opportunity to Su Zhenzhen and let her show her face in front of the emperor, so Concubine Xian looked at Su Zhenzhen, but Su Zhenzhen also wanted to give the opportunity to Concubine Xian in her heart, so that she could stand on her feet, so Su Zhenzhen shook her head gently.

Concubine Xian had no choice, so she stepped forward: "Your Majesty, we did think of a way, I discussed it with Zhen Zhen, and I think we can send some food, what these people lack most now is food, let's prepare more food, so that they can at least receive the autumn harvest, so that they can also save their lives!" ”

When the emperor heard it, this idea is good! The people live on food! The emperor immediately decided to give food to the people, and the emperor also felt that he had nothing to do, so he directly said to Su Zhenzhen: "Zhenzhen, I will leave this matter to you to be responsible." ”

Su Zhenzhen also agreed with a smile: "The courtier obeyed." ”

Concubine Xian also looked at Su Zhenzhen with a smile, this time Su Zhenzhen can sell it in front of the emperor again, and Su Zhenzhen can get better and better when she returns to Beijing in the future, so that no one dares to go to her rouge shop to make trouble.

Su Zhenzhen did not dare to delay after receiving the holy decree, and immediately retreated to the street.

Su Zhenzhen went directly to the largest grain store in the county, because she asked for a lot of food, and only the largest grain store had so much stock.

Su Zhenzhen estimated that white rice would cost 20,000 catties, white flour would cost 10,000 catties, and coarse grains and the like might cost 5,000 catties.

I went to the grain store, not to mention that there is really so much inventory in the grain store, I heard that their grain store is a chain type, so there is more inventory.

Because the amount of grain was too large, Su Zhenzhen did not transport it to the county government, and directly stored it in the grain store, she thought that when the emperor wanted to use it, it would be good to let people pull it to the place directly, and there was no need to bother.

In the end, Su Zhenzhen went to the pastry shop, and she thought about preparing some simple pastries, and the family shared a little, which was also regarded as a little bit of her heart.

The pastry shop is not in stock, because Su Zhenzhen knows a lot about pastries, so she directly asked the pastry shop to make a large number of them immediately, and she also called the entourage brought by the emperor and Concubine Xian and others all the way to help.

Because the pastries could not be kept for a long time, the next day, the emperor asked Su Zhenzhen to move the grain and pastries to the county office, and their group distributed food directly to the people at the gate of the county government, because at the gate of the county government can not only ensure the safety of the emperor, but also ensure that the people do not rob or fight.

The officials were also responsible for informing the people and making sure that someone from every household came.

The distribution of grain was carried out in an orderly manner, and finally distributed to everyone was 100 catties of white rice, 50 catties of white flour, 30 catties of coarse grains, and some simple pastries.

Many people saw the white rice and white noodles were excited to cry, their area since the county officials came to power, they have been persecuted by the horse bandits, they have also gone to the county government to complain, but every time the county officials are perfunctory, and finally they simply beat a few boards and threw them out, slowly they did not dare to go to the county government to complain, and the horse bandits are more rampant, so they have not eaten rice for a long time, but whenever there is a little food at home, it will be robbed, they can only eat wild vegetables and roots every day.

Now that they see the white rice and white face, they have also disposed of the horse bandits, and everyone is excited in their hearts.

I don't know who started and knelt on the ground and shouted: "The prince is Chitose Chitose Chitose." "Because the emperor is now using the identity of the prince, everyone thinks he is the prince.

The cry was louder and louder, and it lasted for a long time.

The emperor was both happy and a little guilty when he saw this scene, if he had found out earlier, he would not have let the people suffer so much, it was because he didn't know people clearly, he decided that he must strictly investigate the court officials when he went back this time, otherwise some remote areas would not seek his own government.

After the grain distribution was over, the emperor went directly back to the county government to deal with official business, because the new county official had not yet arrived, the emperor temporarily dealt with some follow-up affairs, and other official documents could not be handed over until the next county official came.

Because of the urgent report used by the emperor, the new county official took office only five days later. As soon as the new county officials took office, the emperor and his entourage continued their southern tour.

Because of this incident, the emperor decided to take the land route instead of the water route, and he wanted to see how rampant his courtiers were, and there were still people colluding with officials and bandits.

Everyone traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, and they never encountered the previous troubles again.

In the evening of that day, the carriage of the emperor and his entourage stopped in front of a small town, because it was not early, and they planned to spend the night in this town, so everyone got out of the carriage and prepared to look for an inn while strolling around.
