Xiao Zheng Youxiang - Zheng Yu is very distressed.

Since the Zhongchang Servant was authorized by Sun Nian to follow him, in addition to handling official business, the Zhongchang Attendant followed Zheng Li for the rest of the time, and said that he wanted to supervise the young right minister for His Majesty, so as not to miss the errand at a young age.

Every time Zheng Li saw him, he felt a breath of breath in his heart.

In this way, the two tossed for more than a month. Others watched the two of them enjoy watching the play.

The old man at home also came to join in the fun: "When I think the old man was the right minister, I was much more comfortable than you." At least they don't have heels everywhere. ”

Zheng Wei smiled bitterly, okay, want to spit out bitterness? Don't be ridiculed and ridiculed. Thinking so, he walked slowly back to his courtyard, thinking about how to tidy up the middle attendant. It's really annoying to save him from pointing fingers around him every day.

"Right phase, the little one has a suggestion." This was said by one of his long-standing retinues standing aside and grinning.

Zheng Li was very curious, "What do you suggest?" "This long-term entourage has been by his side for many years, and he does have a bit of wit, so let's listen to it.

Chang Sui was allowed to take a step forward, but the look on his face was a little heavy, and said: "A letter from the little one's hometown, Quyang has shown signs of a major drought, and the little relatives and brothers have come to Luoyang." ”

"Great drought?" Zheng Li was stunned, his expression became solemn, and he said, "When did you receive your letter?" ”

"Just yesterday."

"Also yesterday?"

"Yes."

Between Quyang and Luoyang, the difference is less than a thousand miles. I started yesterday, and I will arrive in 10 days at most.

The most serious thing is that the court did not receive a report from the officials of Quyang County. Why?

Knowing that the matter was big, he immediately didn't care about the method of the regular servant in the rectification, changed his clothes, and went to ask to see Sun Nian with the waist card for entering the palace.

Sun Nian was worried at this time. Because he also received the news that it had not rained in the vicinity of Quyang for more than a month. Spring ploughing is about to be delayed. If spring plowing is delayed, how will the people survive until the autumn harvest? You must know that after the harvest last autumn, except for the spare grain and a small amount of taxes, the rest were sold for money. With such a little money, how can you buy enough food for your family before the autumn harvest?

Cui Ze and others are already in the conference hall.

Sun Nian was a little surprised when he heard that Zheng Yu was coming. He forgot to inform the young right minister. Originally, I was thinking that I would announce this matter in the court tomorrow.

"It's coming, it's coming. Invite him in. ”

"Promise."

Zheng Wei was soon brought in. Seeing that Sun Nian's henchmen and ministers were all there, he sighed in his heart and thought, "Isn't there another big thing happening?" Is the hidden disaster of the great drought in Quyang a small matter or a big thing? Thinking about it again, I was a little sad, His Majesty still didn't regard himself as a confidant, and he didn't inform himself of any major matters to discuss......

Sun Nian and the others looked at Zheng Li's unhappy face and became even more curious.

Just when Cui Ze couldn't help but ask, Zheng Li had already suppressed the little sourness in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has important things to do." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"The minister's long-term entourage is from Quyang, Hebei. He received a letter from home yesterday, saying that there were signs of a major drought in Quyang, and not a drop of rain had fallen for more than a month. People have come to Luoyang. ”

Every time Zheng Li said one more word, Sun Nian and the others' faces became a little heavier.

Among the people, there are old people who have accumulated years, and they are the most aware of this situation, saying that it is a sign of a great drought, and it must be a great drought in the future.

"The family members who have been with me for a long time, and some people in the village, have set off yesterday." Zheng Yu added another sentence and said, "Your Majesty, we have to think about alleviating the drought and how to relieve the disaster after the drought." ”

Sun Nian nodded and said, "That's right." That's what we're going to talk about. He turned to Cui Ze, "Aze, you are the Great Si Nong, from now on, you will have to take care of your golden abacus." ”

"Your Majesty rest assured." Cui replied with a smile and said no more. It's a heavy task, and he's going to have to think about how he's going to make money.

Sun Nian walked around, and then heard Ying Fu say: "Your Majesty, why don't I go to Quyang first?" First, you can see where the situation is really like, and second, you can take precautions in advance, so that some people can't take advantage of the opportunity to harm others and make money. ”

"What Ah Fu said is reasonable." Yuan Yu said on the side, and Su Li and Shen Shang also nodded.

Zheng Li glanced at Sun Nian, thought of what Chang Sui said, and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the Zhongchang attendant follow?" ”

Sun Nian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Why is that? "Finally, I can't stand to be stared at by the middle attendant every day, and I'm going to get rid of him today?

Everyone's eyes were too sharp, as if what they were thinking in their hearts had been pulled out, Zheng Wei was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to say anything to cover up in front of these spirits, just blushing and lowering his head - acquiescence.

Laughter rang out loud. Sun Nian thought about it for a while, and felt that it would not be dangerous to let Zhongchang Shi go with Yingfu, and also let that guy with low eyes and hands experience the scene of the people's suffering, so that he could say less useless words and do more practical things in the future.

In this way, the Zhongchang servant was happily "sent away" by Sun Nian secretly.

At this time, Zheng Wei also understood what Chang Sui said, I'm afraid it's just for this, right?

The next day, when the middle attendant heard Sun Nian's edict at the beginning, he couldn't see anything on his face, but he was a little unhappy in his heart. It was Yingfu who went to Quyang, not Zheng Li. What is the purpose of him following? But the king has decreed, and those who are ministers must not change it.

Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye. Ying Fu has arrived in Quyang with a thousand white armor troops. The accompanying Zhongchang attendant had never suffered from such a "rapid march", and when he arrived in Quyang, he fell ill.

The speed of such a march is already slow. Ying Fu understood that he was a scholar and civil official, and also criticized him, and only arranged for someone to take proper care, and then took his entourage to patrol around Quyang in civilian clothes.

He thought that it was only the Quyang territory that was affected by drought, but who knows, some places have been in drought since last autumn, and there are snowstorms in winter!

On this day, he took a guard to a small village in Quyang to investigate, but he encountered homeless people smashing and looting!

In the cold of spring, the village dried up and was depressed.

Winning Fu and a few people rode up a high slope and saw the village below.

This village is surrounded by mountains, the village is a pot-shaped place, in previous years, the wind and rain were smooth, and the village was quite rich. Look at the houses under the slope, most of them are neat and solid.

"Doctor Goshi! This village is simply a good place for immortals outside the world. One of the guards laughed, causing the others to chim. But no, the village where they stayed when they were children was chaotic and poor, where is it so peaceful and rich as here?

Ying Fu sighed with emotion, "I have seen such a village with Your Majesty before. That's why Your Majesty will fight so hard, just for the sake of the peace and prosperity of such a village in the world. ”

The guards who had just started to speak wanted to say something, but suddenly looked at a place in the village and their eyes widened: "Doctor Yushi! Don't you think the village is a little strange? ”

"Hmm." Ying Fu nodded, and when he spoke, he felt that it was inappropriate, but now that the guard said it, he was more formal and said, "What do you see?" ”

"The village is too quiet. I just smell a fishy smell. The guard looked solemn.

"It smells of blood." Ying Fu's face was even heavier, could it be that something happened in the village? In this eventful time, he really thinks too much.

"Ahh

Suddenly, a terrible cry for help resounded through the valley. Ying Fu and the others, who were standing on the high slope, immediately pulled out the saber on their bodies.

Before rushing down, Ying Fu hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Shi stays here, if there is anything inappropriate, immediately send a signal to move the rescuers!" ”

Even if the guard named Xiao Shi was unhappy, he could only obey the order: "Promise!" Doctor Yushi, take care. ”

Ying Fu nodded slightly, "Get off the horse." We quietly took a detour to see over there, and if we were defeated, we had to wait for the help to come. I don't know if there will be an ambush in other places, so I gave an order, and I and the guards used vines to disguise the color of their robes, and then quietly went.

I finally got to the place where the cry for help was heard from a distance, but I saw something that made my scalp tingle!

On a wide barn of grain, there was already a river of blood. There were many corpses with their heads and feet cut off. Many of the women were guarded in disheveled clothes. Nearly two hundred ragged men stood there, munching on meat and drinking wine, and there were several large cauldrons beside them, steaming hot, and I don't know what was cooking. One of the guards saw it, saw it, and suddenly retched.

"Doctor Goshi, those brutes! Eating human flesh. ”
