Damn, the fire must be a granary! It's a gecko with a broken tail, and it's a big problem!

Although Hongqing never stretched out his head, everyone's discussion was in his ears, and he immediately reacted, knowing what the shadow that has been haunting his heart for the past few days is - the granary! As long as the granary is completely burned down by a fire, and the direct physical evidence is annihilated, it is impossible for the third master to make contributions in one fell swoop, and if you want to find out about this case, you have to rely on the water grinding kung fu of peeling off the cocoon, and this, for the Shandong bureaucrats who have the advantage of the home field, it is obviously much easier to deal with, no matter if your third master holds the holy decree in his hand, they only have to play a passive and non-cooperative hand, and the third master is afraid that it will be difficult to get these officials.

"Let's go, go to the docks, quick!"

The third master stared at the fire for a long time, his face was already extremely blue, and then he waved his hand hatefully, and squeezed out the order from between his teeth.

Daddy is afraid that he has a headache this time, tsk, these dog thieves are really going to pick the opportunity, at this time a fire, although the disaster relief is not necessarily a big problem, but it can make our father take care of one and lose the other, this kind of calculation and grasp is really good, it seems that we are a little underestimated!

The carriage was speeding on the dirt road at high speed, and bumps were inevitable, but Hongqing didn't care at all, peeking at the third master's iron-blue face, and suddenly felt a little more emotion in his heart - the secret investigation decree of the old man Kangxi was in the hands of the third master yesterday, and the reason why the action was delayed until tomorrow was to ensure that the overall situation of disaster relief was unhindered, but he didn't expect the other party to calculate this point. If the third master didn't stab the case to the old man, he could pretend not to break the matter, and he couldn't see it, but now the holy decree of the secret investigation has arrived, and it is impossible to turn back.

"Heda, go, get Gong Pucci!"

The wharf area is not far from the Hecao Yamen, only a few hundred steps away, but the third master did not rush to the blazing Hecao Yamen, but went straight to the wharf, not for anything else, just because the third master has not taken care of the investigation at this time, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the unloaded grain, you must know that this batch of grain is the life-saving food that the "Qilin firm" rushed to come, in case something goes wrong, the disaster relief will really be a big mess, fortunately, when I arrived, although the wharf was a little messy, but everything was normal, This made the third master can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to be careless, with a straight face, he broke off his throat at Heda, who was on the side of the guard.

"Wow!"

Since the third master had already given the order, Hedda didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly responded, led a few guards and rushed to the dock, and after a while, he was already accompanied by more than a dozen officials to squeeze out of the crowd. These officials are the political envoy of Shandong Province, Gong Puqi and several Taoist and Futai, although the official uniforms are quite neat, but the head and face are covered with ash, if it is not for the official uniform, it is not much different from the homeless people on the street.

"Xiaguan and others will see the prince."

In order to ensure that the grain and straw are safely transported, Gong Puqi was honored as a provincial political envoy, and he stayed up on this dirty dock for two whole days, not to mention the bad image, and the spirit was also very poor.

"Excuse me, my lord has worked hard, how much food is there to be unloaded?"

If you don't know the dirty things behind Gong Pucci, the third master may be moved by Gong Pucci's selfless work attitude at this time, but since you know what kind of goods these guys are in front of you, it is impossible for the third master to be confused by the illusion it shows, of course, the compassion that should be there is still to be a sentence, the third master still praised Gong Pucci very kindly, but there is only one sentence, the third master is most concerned about the safety of the grain at the moment.

"Back to the prince's words, there are still more than 3,400 stones to be unloaded, it is not that the lower officials and others are not dedicated, but they are all small boats, and it is difficult to schedule the manpower neatly, looking at the progress, I am afraid that it will be unloaded until tomorrow afternoon."

When it comes to the progress of unloading, Gong Puqi is a stomach of bitter water, not that he is not dedicated, nor is it that he is not short of manpower, but that the "Kirin Firm" is in a hurry, and all they are looking for are some fast boats, which are much faster than the official canopy ships that can be loaded with big bellies, but one is that the capacity is limited, and the manpower that each ship can be sent to move and unload is limited. The unloaded grain can not be transported away immediately, it must be too heavy, and then the number is registered, so that it can be loaded into the carriage sent by the provinces and prefectures to pull the grain, and the whole set of procedures can be described as extremely cumbersome, and the progress will naturally not be fast.

"Well, then it's hard work, the victims of the disaster in Shandong are waiting to be fed, and I, as the official of the imperial court, should be the master of the disaster victims, and we must not be neglected for a moment, and the princes should also work hard, and afterwards the king should ask for credit for you."

The third master has not come to the dock in person these days, since he knows the difficulty of unloading, he asked about the progress, the original intention is not in the unloading progress itself, but to determine whether this group of Shandong officials will even pit this batch of grain together, at this time seeing that Gong Puqi is quite complaining, but there is no idea of fighting this batch of grain, and his heart is a little more peaceful, so he took out the posture of Brother Qincha and made a mobilization without much nutrition.

"Don't worry, the lower officials and others will do their best!"

After all, under such a disaster, disaster relief is the obligation of all governments, and if it is not done well, it is a big crime, but even if it is done, it is just what it should be, and it is absolutely unrealistic to expect meritorious service, but since the third master has opened his mouth, no matter what the big guy does, he has to show his determination.

"Well, that's good, let's get busy first, and please wait."

Since he knew that there would be no problems with this batch of grain, the third master's heart turned to the matter of the Hecao Yamen, and after encouraging the officials for a few words, he immediately dismissed everyone, leaving only Gong Puqi behind.

"Lord Gong, how did this fire start in Hecao Yamen?"

After the officials went, the third master glanced at Gong Puqi, who was standing with his hands down, and asked casually.

"Wang Ye Mingjian, Xia Guan really didn't know, when the fire started before, Xia Guan was directing the grain transfer on the wharf, and when he heard the sound, the fire was already soaring to the sky, because he was worried that there was chaos on the wharf, Xia Guan didn't dare to let people fight the fire, and he was in a hurry, and the prince arrived."

Gong Puqi obviously expected that the third master would ask such a question, and it was impossible for him to step into the trap of the third master's words, so he just replied respectfully and respectfully, and naturally there was no reference value at all.

"Well, if it weren't for the command of the princess, there might be something to be done on this dock, or not, the princess will continue to be busy, but if you can ensure that the grain is safe, it will be a great achievement, and this king will ask for credit for the princess."

The third master originally just asked, and didn't really expect to be able to find out some strange things from the mouths of old treacherous and cunning people like Gong Puqi, this time he saw Gong Puqi pushing three, four or five, and he was already asking again, and it must have been in vain, since he was too lazy to say more, after explaining a sentence, he planned to rush to Hecao Yamen to see what was going on.

"Gongsama, you said earlier that the fire was rushed to the sky together, but is that so?"

Without waiting for Gong Puqi to retreat, Hongqing suddenly interjected from the side, interrupting Gong Puqi's words of resignation.

"This ......"

Gong Puqi obviously didn't expect Hongqing to suddenly come out, and he really couldn't react for a while, hesitated, and didn't answer directly, but peeked at the third master.

"What? Is there anything that is difficult for the OUHK? ”

Although the third master didn't expect Hongqing to attack Gong Puqi on such occasions, he didn't say anything to applaud Hongqing's abruptness, but helped put pressure on Gong Puqi.

"Forgive me, the lower officials are just a little distracted, hehe, this fire is really rushing to the sky together, if the little prince doesn't believe it, you can find someone on this dock and ask you to find out, how dare the lower officials lie and coax the prince."

Hongqing's words, Gong Puqi can ignore them, but the third master also opened his mouth, Gong Puqi can't help but answer, even if he is annoyed in his heart, he can only explain with a smile.

"I see, dare to love that this fire has nothing to do with our dock, this is good, in order to prevent future troubles, I ask the princess to organize some people to help make a confession of the fire situation he saw, for future use, so that it can be done?"

With the support of his father, Hongqing explained the matter, and he was very confident, although he exchanged opinions with Gong Puqi in a consultative tone, but the inside was full of meaning that could not be refused.

"This ......, it's good, it's just that the dock is busy right now, and this matter may have to wait until everything is decided before it can be started.

Gong Puqi really couldn't understand why Hongqing wanted to come to such a hand, but subconsciously he didn't want to go at Hongqing's pace, but he saw the strength of the third master's previous support, but it was not easy to refuse clearly, so he planned to come to a delaying strategy.

"This is easy to do, Zhang Qi!"

Although the third master didn't understand the intention of Hongqing's hand, he didn't plan to ask questions immediately, but directly pointed out the name of one of his subordinates.

"The subordinates are here!"

As soon as the words of the third master fell, a young scholar dressed in a scribe's uniform flashed out from the side, and answered the promise loudly, this person is the palace clerk Zhang Qi, who was originally a scholar when the third master went to school in the study, and then because of his good writing, and a small talent, the third master has added to his letter, especially for him to get rid of the slave status, and then accepted it as a door, and now he is in the palace as a clerk, the third master intends to cultivate in it, this time with him to do errands, it has experience in it, in order to use it in the future.

"Renshan (Zhang Qi's words), you just stay here and help the princess record all the confessions, and this king will use them tomorrow morning, do you remember them?"

The third master didn't look at Gong Puqi's somewhat green face at all, and finalized the matter without saying anything......
