A woman walked out and said firmly: "I also saw Mrs. Liu yesterday, she just arrived in Tianjiang. ”

Hearing the support of the people, Jiang Yingxue glanced at Zhao Mingli coldly, and asked: "Lord Zhao is really confused, we haven't damaged a single penny, the people just want to ask the adults for an explanation." ”

"Yes, it's inaction that makes us lose our home, what do you think?" When the people heard this, they asked Zhao Mingli one after another, blocking the way out and not letting him leave half a step.

Zhao Mingli had never seen such a formation, he was frightened for a while, pointed at Jiang Yingxue and said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Liu, you are not like this, why do you want to target this official like this?" ”

Obviously, he can be safe, he can find an excuse to stay in the house, but Jiang Yingxue has been pressing step by step, and he has to tear his face.

He lost his prestige in Tianjiang, and this flood still couldn't be stopped, Zhao Mingli's fingers trembled.

"Lord Zhao, I'm not targeting you, you can't sit on the sidelines to govern Tianjiang, everything is in your hands." Jiang Yingxue didn't care about his reluctance, took out the order from his sleeve, opened it in front of his eyes, and said word by word, "It's right that Lord Zhao assists me, but it doesn't say that I am fully responsible, and after the results are effective, I will leave Tianjiang." ”

The emperor didn't let her stay for long, and Zhao Mingli needed to follow up on the progress after that, if he didn't know, sooner or later it would be a mess.

Jiang Yingxue also wanted to punish Zhao Mingli, but the emperor only cared about the result, and no one was willing to come to Tianjiang to solve this big trouble.

can only let Zhao Mingli redeem his merits, if not, he will do it according to the law.

Jiang Yingxue's eyes were cold, and she took out all the facts, waiting for Zhao Mingli's answer.

Zhao Mingli's eyes rolled, like a cunning fox, pushed the concubine away on his body, and said in a cold voice: "Is Mrs. Liu's way to bring the people to force the official?" ”

Zhao Mingli could see that Jiang Yingxue did not have the ability to move him, if he encouraged the people to do it, the Liu family in the capital would naturally not let her go.

After all, the Liu family is afraid of Liu Qingfeng, and Jiang Yingxue can't afford to wear such a hat.

"He Zeng, we have never damaged anything, it was the people who came voluntarily." Jiang Yingxue snorted coldly, with disdain in her eyes, she overestimated Zhao Mingli, he had a small abacus, but he would not take the bait.

I didn't expect Zhao Mingli to be so aggressive, the people couldn't accept it, they had been waiting for a long time, and someone directly broke through the guards' obstruction and attacked Zhao Mingli.

"You guys are really bold, don't you care about Jiang Yingxue?" The cup shattered at Zhao Mingli's feet, and if he hadn't dodged in time, it would have hit him a long time ago.

Jiang Yingxue took three steps back, shrugged her shoulders, obviously indicating that she would not interfere in this matter, and said softly: "I only came to Tianjiang yesterday, how can I have the ability to make the people obey me, Tianjiang has always been managed by adults." ”

Zhao Mingli was very angry, he wanted to attack but didn't dare, the resentful people in front of him were like hungry wolves, and they would pounce on him and tear him apart if he was not careful.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and the atmosphere was cold to the peak, and soon, the people did not want to sit still and began to move.

This made Zhao Mingli panic, blocked the concubine beside him in front, and said weakly: "Jiang Yingxue, let's talk about it, the purpose is to control the flood." ”

Jiang Yingxue nodded, waved her hand back, and the people retreated peacefully, glaring at Zhao Mingli.

Jiang Yingxue's throat had already spoken, and she took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and the warm tea flowed through her throat, soothing the previous pain.

Jiang Yingxue looked at Zhao Mingli indifferently, her black eyes were deep, she slowly put down the teacup, and said with a sigh: "Lord Zhao also went from a scholar to a scholar, and became an official in the court, and he has been constantly promoted because he loves the people like a son, but now it is not as good as before." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent, and even a needle could be heard falling on the ground.

Zhao Mingli thought back to the good old days, and sighed infinitely for a while, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, which made people unable to see the true feelings.

"Jiang Yingxue, what are you doing with these?" Zhao Mingli asked rhetorically, he is different now, I don't know when he has changed, and even his wife has left him.

"I'm just wondering what made Lord Zhao what he is today." Jiang Yingxue tilted her head, opened her arms, and looked around.

The concubine was in a hurry, she followed Zhao Mingli just for money, but she couldn't give up her life, she climbed on his shoulder again, and hurriedly dissuaded: "My lord, let's ignore them, let's get out of here." ”

Zhao Mingli was silent, felt a noise in his ears, pushed the concubine away, and began to ponder.

Jiang Yingxue waited for a long time, and when she saw that he didn't speak for a long time, she slapped the table, which made him look up in fright, and said coldly: "Isn't it just pleasure, it's nothing more than money and official positions?" Lord Zhao probably didn't expect me to understand the account book, why don't we talk about the disaster relief funds of the imperial court, how about it? ”

The most urgent thing is to find out where the disaster relief money is going first, and let Zhao Mingli take it out before he can go to the people to treat the flood.

The people have made great efforts, but they lack silver taels, which is absolutely impossible.

Zhao Mingli sighed lightly, shook his head and said: "I still came to this point, although I have some secrets, but the disaster relief funds of the imperial court have long been left in my hands, and this month's has not yet arrived." ”

Jiang Yingxue frowned, didn't believe his words, and said seriously: "There is no basis for what you say, your lord should take out the account book." ”

Sin is not much to blame, nor can it be less.

Zhao Mingli said silently, walked to the side of the bed and opened the secret compartment, took out three entire ledgers from it, put them on the table, and wiped the dust with his sleeves.

"Jiang Yingxue, even if this is all the account books, the disaster relief money I got can't help the disaster at all, and I have no choice."

Jiang Yingxue motioned to the people not to act rashly, sat down and opened the account book, and simply flipped through it, and the sorrow between her eyebrows deepened.

Indeed, there is very little relief money in hand, and with the purchase of relief food, there is not enough left to build a channel.

Jiang Yingxue closed the account irritably, raised her head and asked suspiciously: "Why hasn't this month's disaster relief money come down, there should be more this month." ”

Zhao Mingli has always been in charge of Tian Jiang, and he should know best.

The flooding of the Tianjiang River did not happen overnight, and a sudden flood at the beginning of this month was only temporarily stopped.

"I don't know, I sent people to ask the higher-level officials, and they didn't receive it." Zhao Mingli said in a deep voice, looking at the people around him worriedly, he was greedy.

Jiang Yingxue felt that something was wrong, reopened the account book, and found that the previous disaster relief funds were all paid on time at the end of the month, but this month had not yet arrived.

"Mrs. Liu, what is the situation, we can't support it anymore." The people were restless again, fearing that there would be no one to administer justice and no one would be able to control the floods.
