Chapter Ninety-One: The Fire Dragon Burns the Warehouse III
Song Zhaonan knew that if he let this old governor be powerful, he would not be able to afford this consequence. Although he, the right deputy capital imperial history, is a Jilu title and is not in charge of court affairs, but as a jinshi in the third year of Hongzhi, there are many of his disciples in the court, and he can casually launch a round of speech official offensive, and he can relegate himself to the land of the nine sides to contribute to the country.
Hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Lao Zhongcheng rest assured, the lower officials will do their best to ensure that the granary is worry-free." ”
"Shen Gong, the matter of grain, I will also keep an eye on the matter of the political envoy, and the matter of selling grain without permission will not happen. This time, a library ambassador died, and the others should know in their hearts, doing this business, and in the end, they will lose their heads. But what I'm most worried about now is actually the Yellow River. Once the Yellow River is lost, no matter how much we arrange, it will be in vain. We can only try our best to deal with **, and how to prevent natural disasters? ”
As mentioned above, the Ming Dynasty was an official in Henan, and half of it had to look at the eyes of the Dragon King, and once the Yellow River burst, no one could do anything. When the time comes, coupled with the food shortage, I am afraid that the people will have to rebel if they do not rebel.
Shen Dongkui glanced at Yang Chengzu, "Some time ago, Zhang Xianzun of Huaxian County gave me a codex here, which mentioned that you seem to have some opinions about the flood of the Yellow River, so it is better to listen to it." ”
Yang Chengzu did think about how to deal with this flood, but the problem was that it was useless to tell Zhang Jiayin, and he couldn't solve this kind of problem with a seven-grade county order. Seeing Shen Dongkui ask, he saluted and said:
"Lao Zhongcheng, the lower official is just a brocade-clothed military minister, with no ink on his chest, how dare he talk about governing the river? It's just that this time, since some people can use the exposé to spread rumors and confuse the people, why don't we just use the scheme and use this exposé post as well? ”
Then he said his thoughts one by one, Shen Dongkui and Zeng Yangong glanced at each other, and almost shouted a wonderful word. Zeng Yangong nodded and said: "Yang Baihu, your clever plan can be regarded as saving the lives of our Henan Bafu River Defense officials, if you don't want to serve in Jinyi one day, the old man still has two or three friends in the military department, and it is not impossible to ensure that you have a future in the military guard." ”
"Actually, in my opinion, you can simply transfer to the Fubiao camp, Commander Song, if I ask you for personal use, there should be no problem, right?"
Yang Chengzu was really afraid that Song Zhaonan nodded, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Lao Zhongcheng for your help, but at the moment, we should do this first, and it's not too late to mention the others." ”
Within two days, the streets and alleys of Kaifeng had countless more posters, which were not only not destroyed by the imperial court, but were explained by a special person.
"Today, it is found out that there is a white lotus demon who is plotting against me and wants to take advantage of the rising water of the Yellow River to destroy my embankment along the river. If anyone is found to have damaged the embankment, please assist the government to arrest it, so as not to harm the homeland. ”
Most of the people in the eight provinces of Henan suffer from the flooding of the Yellow River, and when they mention the river defense on weekdays, their eyes are shining, and they dare not be careless. When the white-clothed army raised its troops, some people thought of digging the embankment of the Yellow River in order to create displaced people and coerce the people to gain momentum. In the end, I was worried that it would backfire, so I didn't dare to do it.
As soon as they heard the news, these people clenched their fists angrily, and some of them directly scolded the White Lotus Sect before revealing it. Just like the rumor that Zhengde's bloodline is not true, who can stand up and say that what is written on this exposé is not the truth, and the White Lotus Sect has never thought of such an idea.
Besides, among the people who read the post, there are many local talents and children, that is, Wenqu stars in the eyes of the people, and what they say will be wrong? Thinking about it, the White Lotus Sect is not a thing, and the dam in Henan is as solid as gold, even if it is a once-in-a-century flood, it can be stopped. However, they want to destroy the embankment and destroy their own lives, which is simply unbearable, and wherever there is a flood in the Yellow River, they may have done it.
In the same year, in the yamen of the Ministry of Beijing Division, there were many people who worshipped Yang Chengzu's three-character immortal tablet at home, calling it a life-saving grace, such a trivial matter, Yang Chengzu did not know.
In the treasury of the political envoy, several thousand stone of grain has been transported, and it is no longer usable because the regular position is over-fired. The grain that was originally stored in the Changping warehouse was also transferred to the treasury of the political envoy, and the entire treasury was full for a while.
After the fire two days ago, everyone's awareness of fire prevention has increased a lot, and even when they are on duty at night, they are not allowed to use open flames. At the same time, in the warehouse, there are also four brocade clothes and four Fubiao sergeants, one is to prevent fire, the other is to prevent people from selling grain without permission, collusion between inside and outside, and the prevention is very strict.
At night, the shift was changed as usual, and Xu Guang, the ambassador of the library on duty at night, handed over the formalities with his predecessor and brought the library door, but like a trick, he took out two small wine jars from his robe and took out a few boxes of braised vegetables. To the soldiers of the brocade clothes and Fubiao battalions:
"A few people, don't use the open fire this night, but how to boil it? The villain has no other hobbies, he just likes the things in this cup, but the wine is hard to drink, why don't we get together? ”
The brocade clothes and the soldiers were all sullen, and when they heard this, they all nodded and said: "This is a good idea, sit here every day and stare at these grain bags, and they will suffocate people to death, just drink some wine to relieve fatigue." ”
Nine people guessed the boxing order, and drank very happily, these two small jars of wine are not much, it is said that they are not drunk. But after drinking for a while, several soldiers felt dizzy, and one of them scolded: "How did you make this wine, it is so powerful...... and before he finished speaking, he tilted his head and lay on the table. The rest of the people were no better than him, and they staggered to the ground.
Xu Guang was like nothing, and when he saw that several people had fallen, he pushed this and shouted that, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that one person couldn't wake up. Stretched out his hand and drew a knife from the waist of a brocade robe, and drew a few times, but he could not stab it, so he had to get up and go to open the door of the domain.
On the left and right of the door, more than a dozen men dressed in black and covered with green veils crept in, looked at the eight people who fell on the ground, and one of them said in a muffled voice: "Why don't you kill them?" ”
Xu Guang shook his head and said: "The villain has never killed anyone since he was a child, so he really can't do this, so I ask a few people to forgive me." Anyway, you will set fire to it later, they can't wake up after being poisoned by sweat, and they can't escape death after all, so why do you have to use the knife? Let them end up with all the corpses, and when the matter is done, can I go? ”
"What's the hurry, it's not too late to wait a little longer and leave, come on, pour oil." The big man behind him carried an oil tank in his hand and poured the oil on the grain hoard. After pouring the oil, the big man took out the fire fold from his body and lit it, and then made a look, and the two big men held Xu Guang in the middle, one left and one right. Without waiting for Xu Guang to react, he had already slapped him on the back of the neck, knocking the person unconscious.
"The last time the granary went to the water, a reservoir ambassador died, and this time if he didn't die, how can he explain the past?" The man smiled, and the fire fold in his hand was about to be thrown at the grain hoard, but he heard a person say coldly:
"Don't move, everyone, you are already surrounded, quickly lay down your arms, raise your hands and surrender. You have the right to remain silent, and if you relinquish that right, everything you say will be testified against you in court. You have the right to a lawyer, and if you can't afford it, wash yourself and go to jail. ”
