Chapter Twenty-Three: Dare to Steal My Food

"The body of the prince's daughter, how can he do such a thing, the villain thinks of a person, let him go, he must be able to catch it." Bai Tang said with a smile.

Since the Ming Dynasty seized the throne by Chengzu Zhu Di, it was worried that something like his own would happen again, and the control of the vassal king was extremely strict. The guards have a certain upper limit, and the prince is not allowed to leave the fiefdom without permission, otherwise they will be punished as conspiracy. This rule is naturally clear to King Fu and Bai Tang. King Fu just said that, which is an angry sentence, which means to tell Bai Tang, if you don't go, do you want me to go!

Now that he heard that Baitang had recommended a suitable candidate, King Fu showed joy and asked, "Tell me, who is better to send." ”

"The villain thinks that the prince might as well invite the eunuch Shi Gonggong of Luoyang to take a trip, where is the identity of Shi Gonggong, even if he meets Yue Su, what does he Yue Su dare to do to Shi Gonggong? Moreover, Gonggong Shi is the godson of Zhao Gonggong, the supervisor of Henan, who dares to offend him in Henan's soldiers and horses, he goes to ask for food, isn't it just a matter of words. Lord Wang, you often give rewards to Gonggong Shi, and it is rare to open your mouth and let him do something, he has no reason to refuse. ”

After Bai Tang finished speaking, King Fu thought deeply and said: "Yes, Shi Wen has received a lot of silver from this king, and he will raise soldiers for a while." So call him to me, and I will charge him to his face. ”

"Yes, lord." Seeing that King Fu agreed, Bai Tang ran out with a smile. I thought to myself, this time there is a good show.

Yue Su set off from Huaiqing, all the way to the south, and traveled for three days before arriving in Wen County. Wen County is the hardest hit area, a large area of land has been irrigated, and now there is no county order in the county office, only the county is left to act as the governor of the county. The county went out of the city to greet him, and Yue Su just encouraged him to take his predecessor as a warning, do a good job, and be the master of the people.

Then Yue Su didn't enter the city, and continued to the south, and the county looked at Yue Su's honor guard past, and the hanging heart was put down. The reputation of "Yue Shaved Head" is too loud, these small fish and shrimp, in front of Yue Su, are a little out of breath.

After walking four or five miles, someone in front suddenly ran towards Yue Su's guard of honor, Yue Su rode in front, and saw at a glance that those people were wearing the clothes of officers and soldiers, and when they came to the front, Yue Su recognized that the person who was the leader was a general of his own army, and Yue Su asked him to be responsible for supervising the grain and grass.

The escort ran to Yue Su's horse and knelt down on the ground together, "See your lord." ”

Seeing that they were in a hurry, Yue Su was already wondering in his heart, and an ominous premonition arose, so he pretended to be unhappy and said, "You don't supervise the grain and grass on the bank of the Yellow River, what are you doing when you come back?" ”

"Back to my lord, something is wrong. Grain...... The grain was robbed...... "When the general manager spoke, he was going to cry." He also knew that his own adults were powerful, and he lost his food, for fear that Yue Su would be angry and blame himself on his head and lose his head.

"What!" Yue Su was taken aback, his eyes widened, and he asked angrily, "Who has such courage to rob the imperial court of disaster relief grain and rice?" How many casualties were there among the officers and soldiers? ”

On both sides of the Yellow River, thousands of men and horses were sent to build granaries and be responsible for guarding the grain. With so many people guarding it, and some people daring to rob it, it must be extremely tough bandits, and it is estimated that there are not a few casualties among officers and soldiers.

However, the general's answer was much more than Yue Su expected. "Back to my lord, none of the officers and soldiers were injured. The one who grabbed the grain was a eunuch, saying that it was the prison army of Luoyang, and he also brought a lot of guards from the Fu Wang's Mansion, saying that he was asking for the food of the Fu Wang's family. ”

If it was said that there were heavy casualties, Yue Su's anger could be a little smaller, and when he heard this, his nose almost lost his breath. scolded angrily: "The imperial court raises you for idle food, what about the prison army in Luoyang, is it easy to give people disaster relief grain and rice?" If you are afraid of the enemy and do not fight, do you know what crime you have committed? ”

"My lord......" frightened the general manager, and hurriedly said: "My lord, I don't blame me for this fact, I have the intention to stop it, how can I be alone." Li Hongyong, a guerrilla general guarding the grain, commanded thousands of men and horses, and he did not give the order to resist and sat back and watched the grain be transported away. ”

"Bastard!" Yue Su asked loudly: "Is it the grain on the south bank that has been robbed, or has the grain on both sides been robbed, and how long has it been robbed?" ”

"It's the South Shore that has been robbed of food, and it's been a day since it was robbed! We had no horses, so we had to run to report the news. The general said pitifully.

Yue Su saw that they were in the dust, nodded and said: "I read that you have meritorious service in reporting the news, this time you will be meritorious, and you will wait for one time for the time being." ”

"Thank you, sir." "Thank you, sir." …… Dozens of guards hurriedly kowtowed in thanks.

Yue Su no longer paid attention to them, but looked at Luo Zhenqiang, the chief soldier on the left, and said angrily: "General Luo, the guerrilla Li Hongyong is your subordinate. ”

Seeing that Yue Su's eyes were not good, Luo Zhenqiang shuddered, and arched his hand: "It's the subordinate of the last general." ”

"Good soldiers you brought out! Someone robbed the imperial court for disaster relief, but he didn't resist at all, sitting back and watching the food being robbed, there was military discipline in his eyes! Yue Su said angrily.

Li Hongyong is Luo Zhenqiang's confidant, guarding the disaster relief food, which is a first-class errand, even if the governor is strict, but he can get a little bit more or less, so this errand was given to him. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen in just a few days? Luo Zhenqiang smiled and said: "My lord, the person who returned at the right time also said that it was the eunuch of Luoyang's prison army. Luoyang Supervisor Shi Gonggong, that is the godson of Zhao Gonggong of Henan Supervisor, it may be that Li Hongyong did not dare to offend, so he ......"

"That's why you let it go, don't you? He didn't dare to offend any Gonggong Shi, Gonggong Zhao, is it easy to offend the main department? Yue Su shouted angrily: "The state has national law, and the army has military discipline, let me ask you, what crime should Li Hongyong be guilty of sitting back and watching the disaster relief grain being robbed?" ”

"Your Excellency...... Please look at the face of the last general......"

Without waiting for Luo Zhenqiang to finish speaking, Yue Su shouted loudly and said angrily: "Okay! The headquarters will give you a face, give Li Hongyong a day, and bring me back the grain, otherwise you will not be spared! Send to him now. ”

Coming back! Who do you want? Looking for King Fu, or looking for Gonggong Shi, isn't there nothing to look for! But now that Yue Su has said this, Luo Zhenqiang had no choice but to agree, "Yes, yes......"

Luo Zhenqiang hurriedly sent someone to inform Li Hongyong to find a way to chase the grain, and Yue Su hurried to the road, and sent people to move forward quickly, so that the north bank side could quickly transport 1,000 stone of grain across the river to solve the problem of eating for the people there.

In the evening, we finally arrived at the bank of the Yellow River.

The grain on the north bank was not robbed, but the people at this end had something to eat, but Yue Su was concerned about the south bank, inquired, and knew that the grain had been transported, so he was relieved.

At dawn the next day, Yue Su immediately ordered to cross the river, and the men and horses crossed the Yellow River, and tens of thousands of people had gathered on the south bank, but there were not many soldiers and horses guarding there. Of the troops left there, only one or two hundred people were sent from Huaiqing Mansion.

As soon as Yue Su inquired, he learned that Li Hongyong had already taken people out yesterday afternoon, and the direction of his journey was not Luoyang, but Kaifeng.

This time, Yue Su was annoyed again, glanced at Luo Zhenqiang coldly, and said: "The headquarters asked you to send someone to urge him to ask for food, and he is good and takes someone back to Kaifeng." Is it because you, the commander-in-chief, have no way to do it, or is what the headquarters said not working? ”

"Your Excellency...... Why he returned to Kaifeng, the last general did not know. Please go back to Kaifeng in person to ask about the matter. Luo Zhenqiang replied cautiously.

"How can the ministry have so much effort, let you go to find it one by one. You immediately order to arrest Li Hongyong and the Luoyang Supervisor Shi Gonggong respectively. Give you three days, if it's late, you will be punished according to conspiracy and cover-up, and the tiger head of the ministry will not miss you a head! ”

"Ah......" Hearing Yue Su's words, Luo Zhenqiang was so frightened that he almost fainted. hurriedly answered: "The last will obey, the last will obey...... The last general will send someone to ...... now."

Yue Su has the right to cut first and then play, when he was on the upper floor of Huaiqing City, Luo Zhenqiang saw it clearly. Especially his three guillotines are not limited to their grades, even the emperor's relatives can be used, if they are really cut, it will be too late to say anything.

Luo Zhenqiang immediately issued an order and ordered the deputy general of Henan to take people to capture Li Hongyong and Shi Wen, the supervisor of Luoyang, and gave a death order.

Everyone can see this kind of thing, and the chief soldier is really anxious. When the order reached Kaifeng, the deputy general Min Xutao immediately sent someone to take Li Hongyong, and sent someone to Luoyang to capture Shi Wen, and sent it to the governor on the bank of the Yellow River.

Capturing a guerrilla general is nothing, but taking a prison army is really not a small movement. As soon as Zhao Zhou, the Henan supervisor, heard that Min Xutao had sent someone to arrest his godson, he became angry and went to question him. Min Xutao was aggrieved, and pushed the matter all on Yue Su's head, saying that he was forced by the governor and had to do so. If your old man is worried, you should hurry up and take a trip to the governor's trip, I heard that "Yue Shaved Head" has a bad temper, and Shi Jian Jun offended him.

Zhao Zhou also heard the name of "Yue Shaved Head", but thought to himself, after all, he is the supervisor of Henan, you are a governor, why can't you give me some face as a supervisor. Moreover, Shi Wen is also the prison army of Luoyang, if you want to kill the prison army, it is a request, not that you can kill if the governor says kill. So, his old man immediately rushed to the banks of the Yellow River to reason with Yue Su.

In the past two days, Yue Su has been very busy, almost all matters related to disaster relief and embankment repair, he has to personally inquire, although he does not understand what water conservancy and economy, but he can also understand how to do it better, how to do it more economically.

Compared with Yue Su, Luo Zhenqiang is worried all the time, he knows Yue Su's temper, that is what he says, and he can do it. Finally, when the news came from Min Xutao's side, saying that the person had been captured and was being escorted to Xingyuan, he was relieved.

On the fourth day, Yue Su was busy in his travels, when suddenly a soldier came to report that Li Hongyong, a guerrilla general from Henan, had arrived. came with him, as well as Zhao Gonggong, the Henan Supervisor.

Luo Zhenqiang, Zou Jiaren, and Yang Yishan were all studying part of the disaster relief in Yue Su's big tent, and when they heard that someone was coming, the three of them looked at Yue Su together, thinking that he would go out to greet him.

Yue Su did get up from his seat, but he didn't walk out of the tent, but came to the side of the three bronze guillotines on the side, reached out and touched the tiger head in the middle, and threw out a sentence, "Bring everyone in." ”

After speaking, he returned to his position and shouted loudly: "Chuan Jin Cicada, Yin Zhu, Tong Xuan, Tie Qiu, and Li Zhong brought fifty messengers into the tent to serve!" ”
