Lao Zhu thought about it carefully again, and said to the two: "There are still a group of criminals who must be taken care of before the case is tried, one is gone, one is dead, and the two of you still can't run!" When the time comes, the emperor will investigate my Zhu someone's crime, and I will pull the two of you to take the blame together! ”

Jiang Qianhu's face turned even paler. You, Zhu Qianhu, were able to escape from the noon gate execution ground, how can we have your luck and ability? If the court really investigates you, you are still at ease, and we will lose a huge head in vain!

"How many days will the food for disaster relief last?" Lao Zhu, who was in an irritable mood, suddenly turned to Ma Guoxian again, not paying any attention to the gradually soothing look on Qin Mi's face. He became more and more aware that this Zhu Yidao had some shadows of Qi Jiguang back then. When Qi Jiguang was in Zhejiang, he also had a civil quarrel with the government, although the Zhejiang government at that time couldn't do anything to him, but he offended the Zhejiang Party in the court through this matter. After that, the emperor deposed Qi Jiguang, also because the wall fell down and everyone pushed him, but the biggest difference between Zhu Yidao and Qi Jiguang is that he offended everything he could offend, which means that the emperor will only be more favored, and the more safe he will be.

Ma Guoxian has been in the same place** was suddenly asked, and opened his mouth to reply: "There is still a day to ......"

"One day?! So what did you do to prepare? Lao Zhu walked in front of Ma Guoxian again and asked. This county is really too level, and I don't know what he relies on to maintain the stability of Chun'an County.

Ma Guoxian was originally a corrupt and greedy person, serving his predecessor Chang Yumin, just blindly sycophant, trying his best to rob Chang Yumin, he had a small head, and he lived a life at ease. But when he suddenly met an official like Qin Mi, a thousand households like Zhu Yidao, he was stunned and said, "Humble ...... What can I do to prepare for a lowly position, but an eight-grade county? ”

Lao Zhu shook his head speechlessly: "Then you are ready to be killed the day after tomorrow!" ”

"Big ...... My lord, this ...... What do you mean by that?! As soon as he heard that he was going to be killed, Ma Guoxian suddenly became anxious: "The food for disaster relief has always been from the province...... Why kill the head of the lowly office? ”

"The magistrate vacancy county chief. Knowing that there is only one day's food, but still not making any preparations, starving to death, the victims have stirred up a civil uprising, who will you kill if you don't kill you? Lao Zhu looked at him with a pitiful look and said, "Even if the court doesn't kill you, those victims of the civil rebellion will not let you go!" ”

"It's all already said!" Ma Guoxian's face was extremely sad and indignant, and he shouted loudly: "The grain to buy the field will arrive tomorrow at the latest, and everything will be fine as soon as the grain arrives, how can there be a starvation to death and the victims will stir up a civil uprising?" ”

"Who told you that the grain you bought in the field tomorrow will definitely arrive?! In case something happens, you won't be there tomorrow...... What to do? Lao Zhu asked with a chin of his hand.

"When...... Of course, it's ...... in the province," Ma Guoxian opened his mouth for a long time, but he couldn't speak. Oh, yes! In case the province suspends the transportation of grain or does not transport grain, does this not require your own life?

"What if the food doesn't arrive tomorrow?" Lao Zhu continued to intimidate the poor Bapin County Cheng Dao: "Is it to kill you or to kill the people in the province?" What's more, now that the situation has changed, and the unjust prison has been unjustly imprisoned, the land cannot be forcibly bought and sold until the case is tried! All in all, if the grain you buy tomorrow doesn't come and provokes a popular uprising, you will be the first to be held accountable! ”

"This ...... Hall...... Honorable! And what does this mean?! Ma Guoxian looked at Qin Mi with bitterness and hatred, and his voice was full of tears: "You can't press me on my head for such a big thing, wow!" ”

"I'm the magistrate," Qin Mi tried his best to hold back a smile and said seriously: "I will carry the things after I come, but you must take care of the things before I come!" You go and borrow grain from the big households in Chun'an now, as long as you borrow enough food for three days, it's none of your business! ”

“…… How do I borrow it, who do I borrow? "Ma Guoxian's intestines are about to turn blue, you said that when Chang Yumin was killed, didn't he apply for a transfer and there was nothing to do?

"Borrow it in the name of the county yamen!" Lao Zhu said categorically: "You come to borrow Qin Zhixian to pay it back!" ”

"This ......" Ma Guoxian hurriedly spun in place, "I may not be able to borrow it, or ...... it"

"Can't borrow it?" Lao Zhu pointed to the door, "Then hurry up and run for your life with your family!" Hurry up! If it's too late, I'm afraid it'll be too late! ”

Ma Guoxian was dumbfounded, looked at the closed gate of the county government, listened to the louder and louder noise outside, and then looked at the dirty official uniform he was wearing, closed his eyes, and strode to the door: "...... How does this say? Here's what to say! But just opened the door a little crack, and looked up at the passionate people, looked up at the sky, and sat at the door without a trace of blood on their faces: "It's over, it's over!" Three o'clock in the afternoon...... It's over! ”

Jiang Qianhu and Xu Qianhu were all flustered, and if they didn't kill anyone at three o'clock in the afternoon, they couldn't kill again! Killing people again will definitely provoke a popular uprising! The two of them looked at each other in horror, how to explain to the province now?

"Since it's past three o'clock in the afternoon, let's put all the criminals in prison! Then report it to the province immediately! Zhu categorically ordered the two overwhelmed Qianhu: "Now the civil affairs are in charge of Qin Zhi County, and I am in charge of the military!" You two hurry up! ”

"I ...... I'll kick you to death! He Jinxian kicked him in a hurry. Jiang Qianhu half-knelt on the ground, seeing that he was a person in charge of the soldiers, he instinctively flashed, He Jinxian didn't stand firm with one foot, and he fell down, this time Jiang Qianhu didn't dare to hide, and hurriedly reached out to help him.

After He Jinxian, who was anxious and angry, got up, he slapped him with his backhand, and this time Jiang Qianhu didn't dodge anymore, and he was sturdy.

"Two thousand households with hundreds of soldiers can't kill a few criminals! What does the court do to feed you?! He Jinxian no longer scolded regardless of face.

"He's a prisoner!" Jiang Qianhu suffered a lot of anger in Chun'an, and when he came back, he had to be slapped by He Jinxian in front of others, and the anger in his heart couldn't be held back for a long time: "The adults don't give us clear instructions, and we can't be the masters and kill people!" And they don't have the right to kill criminals! ”

“…… Won't you let him hook Zhu? He Jinxian immediately regretted this sentence. How can Qin Mi Gou Zhu kill people without a case file?

Jiang Qianhu took advantage of the anger to vent, and after a cold sweat broke out on his back, he no longer distinguished, but raised his head and said: "My lord, this person is a lifeless person!" Zhu Qianhu of the Jingshi Guard Office clearly stood on his side again, and this time he came out and did it with the province! Now I'm afraid that Qin Zhixian has reported to the imperial court, and Zhu Qianhu is very likely to report to the emperor! The subordinates think that this matter is probably already a big problem, and the adults have to make up their minds as soon as possible! ”

"You go down first!" As soon as he heard that this matter had made a big fuss, He Jinxian forced himself to calm down, and waved his hand to Jiang Qianhu and Xu Qianhu irritably.

"What do you say!" Yang Jinshan walked out of the inner room, sat on the chair, and said expressionlessly.

"What else can I do if you live or die?" He Jinxian panted and sat on the chair, "If he doesn't kill people, then you can only kill him!" ”

"How to kill?" Yang Jinshan asked coldly. A military attache is a military attaché, and it is too simple to think about the problem, not to mention that the brain can't turn around.

"Which one can't be used for slashing axes and splitting poison noose?" He Jinxian gritted his teeth and said viciously.

"I'm asking you for what reason you killed him?" Yang Jinshan felt that it was very difficult to talk to him, why couldn't he understand what I meant.

"It's okay to disrupt the national policy!" He Jinxian spread his hands and said. As long as he is still the envoy and governor of the inspector, he will be able to put Qin Mi to death in one day, after all, the official level will crush people to death. That Zhu Yidao is just a brocade guard, and thousands of households are not considered. Even if you think about it, you can't do anything about him.

"What's the use of buttoning up a hat now? Say something practical! Yang Jinshan was also a little impatient. Things could have been solved, but how did they turn out like this again?

"Then what do you say you need to be true?" He Jinxian didn't know which tendon he had committed, and yelled at Yang Jinshan: "The widows actually ran away, and the prison officer actually indulged people at three o'clock in the afternoon, and this one can kill him!" ”

"It's just that this one doesn't hold water!" Yang Jinshan stood up and said sharply: "There is no confession, no case file, and the person arrested in the middle of the night reported to the province the next morning, and said that it was a sentence of more than ten years, why did you fall into such a big handle and let others pinch it?!" Think again! ”

Just when Zhejiang began to change rice to mulberry, God didn't seem to intend to let the Ming Dynasty live in peace. The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the boat was late and encountered a head wind. On the first day of the New Year's Day in the nineteenth year of Wanli, an urgent letter of 800 li arrived at the imperial court: there was a severe drought in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and millions of people had no water available. The cabinet immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss how to alleviate the severe drought in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guizhou provinces while ensuring the stability of Zhejiang's conversion from rice to mulberry.

It is necessary to ensure that the emperor's national policy of changing rice to mulberry can be smoothly implemented in Zhejiang, and then the drought in the three provinces must not be allowed to bring a drag to Zhejiang. However, these three provinces are all areas inhabited by ethnic minorities, and they usually rebel against the Ming Dynasty from time to time for various reasons, and now there is a drought, which is even worse in front of the precarious situation. If the ethnic minorities in these three provinces rebelled on a large scale, it would definitely not be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty, and it would also force Zhejiang's conversion from rice to mulberry to stop.

Zhao Zhigao looked even older. In the past two days, none of the officials have been able to put forward an effective proposal to solve the drought, but they have scolded the court for being unreasonable, officials without virtue, and even angry and resentful. His head was all white. Let's go and ask the emperor for advice! At the very least, there must be a supreme directive, he looked up at the sky and said that it was an eventful autumn, but how could this year be an eventful winter?
