Chen Di broke the case in the county yamen for a few days, and every case was judged fairly, and the people of Qinyang ran to spread the word, and a young man Qingtian came to the county yamen.
Chen Di's prestige was established first among the people of Qinyang.
At this time, the famine in Henan is becoming more and more serious. In various parts of Henan, there are constant rebellions by hungry people.
On this day, Chen Di was adjudicating the case in the county office, and Liu Mingtian, the county magistrate, suddenly came to the court.
"Chen County Order, don't try the case! Something is wrong! Liu Mingtian said in a panic.
"What's wrong?" Chen Di asked.
Liu Mingtian said: "The victims of the six townships under the rule of Qinyang County have rebelled!" β
This is not what Chen Di expected. Under the catastrophe, there will be a great change in the people, this is the law of history.
Chen Di said tentatively: "Cough, this kind of big thing, the younger generation has no experience in dealing with it, Liu Xiancheng, you can do it just by looking at it!" β
Liu Mingtian didn't want to carry the black cauldron, and said: "Lord County Order, you are the main hall of Qinyang County, how can you be a wall-to-wall watch when such a major event happens?" It is said that the anti-people are marching towards the county seat, and if the county seat is defeated, I am afraid that your head will not be guaranteed! Da Ming law, local officials who lose their land are beheaded! β
Chen Di pretended to be scared: "Ahhh Old-timers, how is this good? β
Liu Mingtian said: "After a while, the county's main book, canonical history, inspection, three shifts and heads of various houses will all come over!" Let's work together to find a solution. β
After the tea, the heads of the county government gathered in the lobby.
Liu Mingtian cleared his throat and said, "Everyone knows that it is not easy to be an official in our Henan!" At present, there is a major disaster in Henan, and there are more and more anti-people. At present, there are more than 10,000 anti-people in Liuxiang under the rule of Qinyang, and they are about to attack the county seat! What can you do? β
The county government chief said first: "Cough, if you want to say that this is anti-people, we have several counties adjacent to Qinyang!" Please ask Huai Qingwei's army to come and suppress it! β
Liu Mingtian said: "I have already sent a letter to Huai Qingwei's General Soldier Wang!" All counties in Huai Khanh Province are now anti-people! There are a large number of anti-people, and Huaiqingwei can't take care of it, so he can only ensure the safety of Huaiqingfu City. As for our following counties, Mr. Wang said that he couldn't help! β
Xu Chang, the county government inspector, was born in Wuju, and he said: "Anti-people, they are all hungry people who can't walk!" There are seventy or eighty people in the three classes below me, all of whom are equipped with waist knives! If the anti-people dare to attack the county seat, I will take the three classes of officials to fight the generalsγγγγγ β
Liu Mingtian scolded secretly, what a brainless martial artist! He said: "There are more than 10,000 anti-people in Liuxiang alone, and the 70 or 80 people under your command can drown them with a mouthful of foam. β
Everyone lost their minds for a while, and collectively fell silent.
As soon as the news that the anti-people wanted to attack the county seat reached Liu Mingtian's ears, Liu Mingtian's first reaction was to let Chen Di, a playful and lustful young county magistrate, be a substitute for the dead ghost. He is a county official, not a main hall, and it is not his business to be investigated from above.
Liu Mingtian asked Chen Di: "Chen County Order, what do you think is good?" β
Chen Di thought for a while and said: "The rebellion of the anti-people is nothing more than being hungry and unable to eat!" I think our county government will open a few porridge sheds to help them! With food to eat, they naturally will not rebel! β
Liu Mingtian said: "Chen County makes you say light!" In the warehouse of our county house, there is no grain left! β
Chen Di pretended to be surprised and asked, "Where is the grain?" β
Liu Mingtian said slowly: "Naturally, we have already given relief to the victims!" But Qinyang County was too badly affected, and there were too many mouths in need of relief! The food of the house is a drop in the bucket! Now in the granary of the house, even the rats inside are starving to death! β
Chen Di thought to himself, what kind of relief has been given to the victims? It is clear that you have embezzled and hoarded it, ready to make a windfall.
Chen Di smiled: "What, there are dead rats in the house?" That would allow the victims to eat dead rats! You must know that rats are small but also meat! β
Liu Mingtian thought to himself, this Chen Di is really a doll like a demented child.
Liu Mingtian rebuked Chen Di and said: "Chen County Order! My county honor! This is holding a county council! Don't talk so indifferently! β
Chen Di said: "What should I do? I want to think about it, with it, since the houses are empty, you can let all the big households in the county open their own granaries to help the victims! β
Who are the big families in the county? The Liu family is the biggest family in the county! How could Liu Mingtian use his own food to help the victims? He's a man who cares about money.
Liu Mingtian shook his head and said, "You can't break it!" In the year of the catastrophe, there is no surplus food for large families! β
When Liu Mingtian said this, there were 300 hoards of refined grain in the granary at home!
The county government secretary said: "More than 10,000 anti-people are enough for us to drink a pot!" I'm afraid, I'm just afraid, the anti-people in the six townships under our rule and the anti-people in several neighboring counties are converging! What a mess will happen then! β
Liu Mingtian said: "I propose to close the city gate first!" Xu Inspection, you work hard, take three shifts of officials to take turns to patrol the county town! If you find any traces of anti-people, report it to me immediately! β
Liu Mingtian dominated his subordinates, as if he was the county commander and not Chen Di.
Chen Di yawned: "What, nothing else, I'm going back to sleep!" Last night, cough, I didn't sleep well! Let's go! β
Chen Di turned around and left in front of everyone in the county government.
Although Chen Di pretended to be unconcerned, he was already anxious in his heart!
Qinyang County finally came out against the people. Anti-people have existed throughout the ages, and to put it bluntly, anti-people are ordinary people who are hungry and can't survive.
If you want to break up the anti-people who attacked the county seat, there is only one way, that is, to give them food to eat, so that they can have a way to live.
But where there is a stutter, which ordinary person is willing to pin his head to the waistband of his pants and do something anti-people?
More than 10,000 anti-people are more than 10,000 mouths waiting to be fed. What will you fill with these more than 10,000 mouths?
The financial power of the county government is all in the hands of Liu Mingtian, the county magistrate. It is estimated that the money in the county has long been embezzled by him.
The county government can't get so much food.
Shihao's big family has grain, and his Liu family's granary has grain. Is there any way to make Liu Mingtian spit out the food?
Although the anti-people entered the city, Liu Mingtian would not have good fruits to eat. But Liu Mingtian is a wealthy family, and they are all misers who regard money as their lives! Let them take out the grain, it hurts more than cutting his flesh!
Chen Di suddenly thought that what Zhang Lao Tuiguan said that day, one of the four evils of Qinyang, didn't the bandit Huang Batian on Yandang Mountain have a grudge against Liu Mingtian?
Can you think of a way to use Huang Batian to force Liu Mingtian to hand over the grain?
Chen Di was thinking hard about how to do it in the back office, when he suddenly heard a mess outside.
A servant ran to the back office, found Chen Di and said, "County honor! Something is wrong! More than 10,000 anti-people in Liuxiang have arrived at the gate of the city! Liu Xiancheng asked me to find you to go to the city! β
It's finally time to come.
