Gui Chun rushed back from Zhengjiawa to help Shen Qiu deal with the affairs of the bookstore. In private, the two little heads got together more than once, and thought of a lot of ways for the young master. Words of consolation can't be said, and after tossing, the two of them also understand that their abilities are limited, and they can't help directly in this matter. After the compromise, I can only dig out my mind to take care of business matters, and try my best to figure out how to increase the money in the account. listened to the news of Hou Mingyu and others. Sun Jiayu, who came from the south, was not afraid of getting into trouble, and became a staff shopkeeper. In addition to helping, it's still to explore the bottom of the old traces.

Xu Guogong convened a meeting of officials from all over Qingzhou to inform them of the many treatments for the sequelae of disaster relief. In addition to the general sentence Chen Xiujie, whose whereabouts are unknown for the time being, there are more than ten people who are questioned from top to bottom. As for those merchants who colluded behind them, they have begun to search their homes and ask for their crimes. There is a bigger background behind it, and after launching a few scapegoats, they also secretly made a lot of money. The floods, which lasted for nearly half a year, have also ushered in the finishing touches.

In the courtyard outside the prefect's yamen and the public hall, the officials were sitting one by one, and Xu Guogong had been chattering for almost half an hour. Occasionally, I pulled a few sentences to the point, and I quickly turned away. At the front of the next head, Hou Houcong had a straight face, and his mind was not all here. Opposite him, Senator Zou Qi, who had just rushed over from the Political Division, had a heavy face, his head slightly in his mouth, and he looked like he was listening. Hou Houcong secretly scolded a few words.

Xu Guogong's voice smashed over: "This disaster relief, this father has already given His Majesty thirteen lessons, from the first day of entering Shandong, it is about ten years." Xu Guogong swept over the people below, "You can still listen to this nonsense here, and you should be more cautious in the future." In May, Bengong ordered people to rush to various prefectures and counties to deliver the news that the disaster relief situation in Qingzhou was staggering and infuriating. It took half a month before and after, I knew some insiders, I was thinking about some people, and I also cut a few baskets of heads. As a result, the disaster relief situation in Qingzhou is severe, and it can't be solved by killing. On the other hand, I have to beg those lawbreakers who are corrupt and pervert the law and eat the country's loopholes to put the overall situation first......" Xu Guogong sighed and said in a deep voice: "How ironic."

"I don't know how many mouths have been worn out, some of them have taken some practical actions, and officials from all over the country have also tried to make up for part of the shortfall, and the grain can finally be operated on a small scale and save some lives, which is your merit. However, looking ahead, these merits should be said to be an act of atonement for your sins, right? And only a tiny fraction...... Chen Xiujie was in charge of the money and grain of the government, but there was such a result, my father arrested people and went to prison, and your counties also made some arrangements to make up for the dead, arrest people, collect evidence, etc., some people were pushed out, and when they arrived at this father, they were probably handed directly to the top, and these people who were pushed out probably did not live to the end of the autumn......"

Xu Guogong cleared his throat, and his voice sank again, "In addition to this, of course, some more people will die." Just this morning, the news from all over the country still said that tens of thousands of people had died. ”

The air seemed to be stagnant, Xu Guogong swept over the officials, raised his hand to let some pamphlets be sent up, signaled to send them down, and followed: "Let's not say dark words, except for the part of the unconscionable guys who must be killed, the rest of the related personnel who are not guilty of death can pay to atone for their sins according to the price on these pamphlets." After the silver is delivered, 40% fills the treasury, and the remaining 40% is handled by the prefectures as a follow-up to disaster relief, such as bereavement and support. Each government needs to be in charge, and every link must be well accounted for, and if there is still a bad conscience, the father will not spare him when the time comes. ”

Xu Guogong snorted twice, his eyes were like electricity, he swept around, and added: "In addition to disaster relief, this prince is also in charge of the deployment of Shandong troops, and he will stay in Shandong for a year and a half."

At this point, Xu Guogong got up and left, and handed it over to the prefect Hou Houcong to dispose of. Senator Zou also got up to take his leave.

……

Chen Ji came out of Qingzhou Station, and he couldn't get into that door after several visits, and now he is really in a desperate situation. "Lost soul" walked on the street, deaf to the hustle and bustle around him, occasionally bumped into people, but also a stiff apology, even if the other party was unhappy and wanted to beat people, he didn't dare to see his appearance, often scolded a word of neurosis, dusted his shoulders and left.

A little farther away, Gui Chun snorted and stared at those scolding guys, eager to pounce and bite to death. I was worried that my young master would disappear into the sea of people if he didn't pay attention, and in the current situation, several insiders in the Chen family were worried that something would happen to Chen Ji again. Especially those guys in Qingzhou City who were given the cake by Chen Ji, maybe "take advantage of people's illness to kill people", and then make a black hand against Chen Ji. Today's old traces are not half guarded.

It was too late, but it was too fast, and a carriage came slowly on the other side of the street, not going fast, and the passers-by who saw it all moved to the side. Chen Ji walked straight over, and the driver didn't care at first, always thinking that the other party would avoid it, but when he got closer, he saw that the situation was not right, and shouted a few words and still didn't move. Stopping the carriage, the coachman yelled at the guy who still didn't retreat, then jumped out of the carriage and came over, slapping him on the shoulder. Chen Ji looked up, puzzled.

Gui Chun caught up in the rear, and was about to make amends, when he heard a neighing and the sound of horses' hooves.

Chen Ji's pupils shrank suddenly, and he pushed away the person in front of him, turning sideways to dodge, but found that Gui Chun was staying in place, and kicked him again.

In a trance, the curtain of the carriage in front of him lifted a corner and looked at each other. Chen Ji chased the gust of wind and swept up, and the coachman who came back to his senses behind him jumped to his feet in a hurry, called Miss a few times, chased a few steps and fell straight down, struggling to get up, his nostrils were bleeding, his mouth was full of paint, and he limped up.

Although Chen Ji chased the carriage at the beginning, he couldn't compare to the 100-meter acceleration of a sturdy horse, so he only grabbed the horse's tail decisively when it was critical, stumbled and dragged him far away.

The exclamations in the carriage have changed.

During the bumps, Chen Ji's head was a little dizzy, his teeth also showed signs of stirring, and as for the bones in his body, he didn't feel like he was his own.

"Hey, in the car, can you come out and pull the reins!" Chen Ji wasted all his strength, and finally picked up his body from the ground, half-hanging it on the wood on the horse's body, and the hot pain in his palms made him gasp several times. That sentence was said through gritted teeth, and under the turbulence, he vomited blood all over his mouth when he had already said a sentence, embarrassed, and miserable.
