Chapter Ninety-Two: Finally Relented
The largest temple in Qingzhou City is called Jinguang Temple, the tea ceremony of Master Huineng in the temple is extremely good, many gentry and wealthy families in Qingzhou City want to go to Jinguang Temple to be vassally elegant, although most of them are blocked out of the door but there are exceptions, today Master Huineng came to two uninvited guests in the meditation room.
Song Xinghe and Wei Tongnian were sitting in the meditation room and slowly sipping the fragrant tea, and now the rich gentry in Yangzhou were looking for them, so they had no choice but to hide here to avoid the limelight.
Wei Tongqing took a sip of tea leaves and frowned and said: "Lord Song, this Pang Gang is not the blessing of Qingzhou when he exercises so violently, although Zheng Hongda has only been a businessman, but his eldest son is in the ministry, and now Pang Gang has brought the Zheng family to a pot, and his Zheng Dagongzi will inevitably fight with him, if the court investigates it, I am afraid you and I will not be able to get rid of it." ”
Song Xinghe shook his head and said: "Lord Wei, if Pang Gang doesn't act like this, how can those rich families in Qingzhou obediently take out the silver from their pockets, now that Qingzhou City is acting so severely, there is no food relief in the government, so sooner or later it will cause a big disaster, it is better to let Pang Gang try." ”
Wei Tongnian glared at Song Xinghe angrily: "I know that you have the idea of letting Pang Gang fight in the front, and the official also planned to do so at first, but now the official is worried that if those gentry and rich families refuse to give in, more heads will inevitably fall to the ground, and if the more than 100 heads of the Zheng family are spread out, it will be a shocking case, and if they sue the two of us with a complaint, it will be troublesome." ”
Song Xinghe snorted coldly: "Some people don't let them endure hardships, they don't return to the honest, these Donglin Party have now extended their hands to Shandong, if we don't stop it, our Shandong will sooner or later fall into the hands of the Donglin Party." ”
When Song Xinghe said this, Wei Tongnian suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, it was also your idea for Pang Gang to be the first to take the Zheng family, no wonder I said that Pang Gang's first target was so coincidental and cut the head of the Zheng family, it turns out that this is your idea!" ”
Song Xinghe replied lightly: "As the saying goes, it is not wrong to beat rabbits with grass and raise food to drive people, since those Donglin Party people dare to stretch their hands to Qingzhou, don't blame the old man for cutting off their claws." ”
Wei Tong sighed and said nothing, Song Xinghe belongs to the Lu Party, and has long been dissatisfied with the Donglin Party's unscrupulous exclusion of dissidents in the court in recent years, Zheng Yuan, the eldest young master of the Zheng family, belongs to the Donglin Party, in recent years, the Zheng family has been using the Donglin Party as a backer, and the style of acting in Qingzhou has become more and more rampant.
After a long time, Wei Tongnian sighed: "Lord Song, it's not easy for you to say anything about this official, but it's a pity for Pang Qianhu, he offended all the gentry in Qingzhou City this time, and formed a mortal enmity with Zheng Yuan, I'm afraid that when he settles down the exiles, it will be the will of the imperial court to blame." ”
"It depends on its creation." Song Xinghe Shen Yin said: "The old man has a good impression of this son, and originally wanted to cultivate it to see if it can be used by my Lu Party. ”
After listening to Song Xinghe's words, Wei Tongnian shook his head slightly and then stopped speaking, both of them lowered their heads and drank tea in a sullen voice. Suddenly, the voice of a servant rang out at the door: "Lord Song, Lord Wei, the Yamen has come to report that the rich merchants and gentry of Qingzhou have agreed to donate grain." ”
"Oh, they agreed to donate food?" The two people in the room all stood up, looked at each other, and both saw the joy in each other's eyes
The rich families in Qingzhou City finally couldn't hold it anymore, and under the threat of bloody butcher knives and constant bad news, they reluctantly lowered their heads, which they thought very highly of.
They were accustomed to playing conspiracy methods, and they never expected that the madman butcher killed Zheng Hongda, the head of the Zheng family, and more than 100 people, not to count, but even arrested all his family members and reclaimed them in the Lingshan Wei Institute, and also called it "labor reform", what did he want to do, what right did he have as a small Lingshan Wei Qianhu to arrest people, wasn't that a matter that the government had the right to judge? Moreover, it also clearly disseminated the news that if the Zheng family did not pay the grain before noon tomorrow, it would be a lesson for them.
As a result, these gentry who were full of fat intestines were dumbfounded, so they had to let their housekeepers take their subordinates to pull a cartload of grain from the granary in the mansion to the prefect's yamen designated by Pang Gang.
Such a big movement naturally caused a great sensation in Qingzhou City, and countless Qingzhou people and displaced people rushed to the prefect's yamen to see the excitement.
"The government is going to provide disaster relief!"
This news shocked everyone like a thunderbolt, and more and more displaced people flocked to the yamen of the Qingzhou prefect with their families, and they watched the grain piled up as high as a hill at the yamen salivating.
Li Xian, who had just arrived from Wanghai Fort, commanded hundreds of military households transferred from Lingshanwei to set up hundreds of simple temporary stoves on the street near the yamen, and there was a raging fire burning under the stove, and a steaming cauldron was placed on it, and the rice porridge in the pot was constantly tumbling, and the fresh rice fragrance was constantly wafting out, and countless homeless people were waiting in line for the soup kitchen.
These hungry and dizzy-eyed homeless people looked at the steaming cauldron in front of them, and their eyes shot out a green light like hungry wolves, which made Pang Gang on the side feel frightened. Looking at the appearance of these homeless people, if it were a day or two later, it would have caused a catastrophe.
Pang Gang, who had just walked over, looked at the rice porridge that was constantly tumbling in the pot and instructed Li Xian, who was following him: "Li Zandian, you must remember that this porridge must be filled with more water, and it must not be cooked too dry." Those homeless people have not eaten for a long time, and their stomachs are weak, and they will definitely try their best to eat them openly after we give porridge, and if they cook too dry, they will easily be strangled to death, so you must pay attention to this. ”
"Yes, I understand!" Li Xian nodded and said, "The villain has heard the old man say before, for the kind of people who have never eaten for so much, they must not be given more food, otherwise it will be easy to die." ”
"Well, it's good that you understand." Pang Gang nodded with satisfaction, this Li Xian is indeed very capable in doing chores, which saves him a lot of heart.
Suddenly, there was a burst of crying and noise from the front, and Pang Gang couldn't help frowning, he knew that someone must be cutting in line again.
Speaking of this, Pang Gang can't help but have a headache, I don't know what's going on, from ancient times to the present, the tradition of Chinese people like to cut in line has not changed, but wherever there is a queue, there will be people who cut in line, some people just don't want to always die in line and like to take shortcuts, always think that they are smarter than others, and always want to engage in some tricks.
When Pang Gang, who originally didn't want to pay attention to these trivial things, turned his gaze to the noisy place, his gaze couldn't help but stare for a moment, and then he strode towards the noisy place.
Thank you kang100 brother for the tip, thank you!
