When Yan Hong heard this, he felt that this little lieutenant official didn't look at his status as high, but his brain was really good. He said to Hai Rui: "Since Hai Xilang thinks that the team is slow, Ben Qincha will take a few servants and travel lightly to Jinan, and ask Xilang to lead the team, and then follow." ”

Hai Rui listened, nodded and said: "The Qincha team is huge, and the local officials are moved when they hear the wind, and it is difficult to check and understand any of the cheats. Yan Qianhu went to Jinan first, just to find out the truth, so as to live up to His Majesty's kindness. ”

Therefore, here the Qincha brigade is divided into two roads, Hai Rui leads the brigade behind, Yan Hong with Sun Yuerong, and Liang Rufei, Xi Tong, Yan Feng, Yan Fu, Wang Ting, Liu Lian, Liu Ye plus six small and medium-sized leaders with high martial arts in the Flying Tiger Village, a group of fifteen people, all riding horses first. The Jinyi Guard Brigade was handed over to Shao An and Tao Zhitong. And the Yellow River Shuangxia Yun Chuqi and Ye Zhengfei also stayed in the brigade and protected Hai Rui with Li Kunpeng.

Shao An and Tao Zhi were also afraid that Yan Hong would be in danger, so in addition to these people on the surface, they also sent a few other people, about forty or fifty, each pretending to be a dart master or a merchant selling goods, all of whom rode fast horses and hid sharp blades on their bodies. These people were all dressed up for the Jinyi Official School, specially designed to meet Yan Hong, following from far and near, hundreds of steps away from each other, and more than ten miles from far, enclosing Yan Hong and his party in the middle.

Along the way, I saw that along the way, there were many displaced people, all of whom were running in the direction of Jinan. I think I heard that the Qin sent an order to Shandong to give relief, but it is impossible to travel all over Shandong, and only when I arrive in Jinan can I have food to eat. Therefore, displaced people from all over the country have traveled to Jinan, and I heard that even the victims of Beizhili and Jingshi have a tendency to return to Shandong.

Yan Hong secretly thought: Eighty percent of the White Lotus Sect's affairs have made the imperial court vigilant. Victims are everywhere. White Lotus bandits are mixed in inside. It is impossible to prevent it. Rather than allowing them to lurk and incite trouble, it is better to drive the displaced people back to Shandong and concentrate near Jinan. Even if something happens in one place, it's better than total chaos.

As for the troubles of the victims, Yan Hong was not very afraid. He is not a local pro-people official, and he does not bear the obligation of dying with the city, so he can run away at a big deal. Yan Shifan's daughter, that is, Yan Hong's sister, married Kong Shangxian, the son of Kong Zhenggan, the eighteenth generation of Yanshenggong, and Kong Shangxian, the sixty-fourth grandson of Kongmen. Confucius lived in Qufu. The power is huge, even if something unexpected happens, he only needs to urge the BMW to flee to the Qufuyan Holy Mansion, which is enough to protect himself. And with Liang Rufei, Xi Tong and other masters by his side, even if he encounters tens of thousands of chaotic people, it is probably okay to break through for self-protection.

The previous time, Yan Hongxing was in the honor guard of the brigade, and he had a distant view of the refugees all the way. This time, it was changed to a micro-service team, which gave me many opportunities to get in close contact with refugees. But I saw that the grass on the road was withered and the leaves were yellow, and from time to time there were refugees in rags, helping the old and the young. Stop the stick cart and run all the way. Some are skinny. Some of them are noodles with vegetables. It's a little more energetic, and his face is full of bitterness. From time to time, there are still corpses lying on the side of the road, or people who are dying, are also struggling to crawl forward.

Outside many county seats, there are naturally government relief. Often a few large pots are boiling, and the pot is not so much porridge as rice soup, so thin that you can see people's faces. However, it is such a rice soup, and often thousands of refugees will gather around, looking greedily at the churning cauldron, desperately sniffing the faint fragrance of rice, and their thin faces are full of hunger and thirst.

Near the pot, there are some orderly queues, and a little farther away, everyone is struggling to crowd. Those who were old and infirm were often pushed out of the ranks, and sometimes beaten by the stronger. And the officials holding water and fire sticks often just watch the competition of these victims, and laugh. It was only when the commotion was near the pot that they beat it indiscriminately, lest they overturn the pot.

And the refugees who were given the porridge didn't care about burning their mouths one by one, and Ciri snorted and drank, as if they were afraid that they would be snatched away if they couldn't finish drinking. Some of them were still huddled outside, and then they fell to the ground and could not get up again.

Although Sun Yuerong has a hot temper, she is a warm-hearted person, and every time she sees this situation, she wants to stop and take out some silver and dry food to relieve the refugees. Yan Hong was much calmer, and always said to her, I am afraid that there are not 100,000 people of the victims along the way, can you help her? Don't forget, I'm the imperial court, so I rushed to Jinan earlier to find out the situation so that I could save more people!

Having said that, looking at the pitiful appearance of these victims, Yan Hong felt quite uncomfortable in his heart. It's just that he knows that he is a chaplain, and he must set the plate. If it is also emotional, sad and sad, then the hearts of this team will be scattered.

In fact, what Yan Hong is most worried about is Sun Yuerong's body. Although Sun Yuerong has practiced martial arts since childhood, the more martial arts she is, the less likely she is to get sick, and once she falls ill, she is not as easy to recover as ordinary people. Since leaving the brigade, Sun Yuerong no longer followed slowly, she was proud to run fast, and stopped to rest when she was tired, which added a little anger to her face. The two of them are fighting each other, and they don't know whether there are pros and cons, in short, Sun Yuerong has also increased a little bit of energy these days. It's just that the body has not recovered after all, and the tea and rice are still not fragrant during the day, and it is easy to get tired. Yan Hong looked at her and couldn't wait to step over to Jinan and ask for a doctor to prescribe medicine for her.

On the other hand, Yan Hong also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go to Jinan for a secret visit first. watched TV series in my previous life, and I also filmed several private interviews with a certain pockmarked microservice, which is enough to prove the great effect of private interviews. When he went out of Beijing this time, there was a lot of commotion, and it was a holy decree, and it was the banner of the king's order, and the official defense was sent to Qin. If you don't do anything, you just come out vigorously and go back quietly, and you really can't explain it.

What's more, judging from the edict given by the Son of Heaven, the old emperor was quite dissatisfied with the situation in Shandong. Judging from the tragic situation of the victims along the way, the bad situation in Shandong is probably unprecedented. No matter what the White Lotus Sect is doing, if it can't make some achievements this time, how can it be explained in front of the emperor? Not to mention the emperor's grace or anything, just the emperor is angry, and he is afraid that his own happiness will be in danger. However, according to what my grandfather and father said, the governor of Shandong and Buzheng are all henchmen of their own family, and if they are killed casually, it will inevitably damage the interests of the family. This does need to be carefully weighed.

Therefore, Yan Hong is self-controlled, and this time he will go down to Shandong, he will inevitably cut off a few heads of sufficient weight and take them away. But who to bring is the question. As a provincial capital, Jinan has many yamen and officials, and after a secret visit, he just found a few so-called unlucky people with great public anger, cut them and took them away, which not only earned prestige, but also did not hurt the muscles and bones, which was the best.

Along the way, Sun Yuerong also told Yan Hong the folk proverb of "thousands of miles of fragrance, eat all the food". It turned out to refer to Liu Cai, the governor of Shandong, Li Shouzhen, the political envoy Qian Feng, and the imperial historian Fang Yongxian. Nowadays, the disaster in Shandong is divided into four natural disasters, and six points are man-made disasters.

Originally, it was said that the territory of the Ming Dynasty was vast, and drought and flood disasters were inevitable. It's just that the local government has encountered a disaster, and the tax is not reduced or reduced at all, which is forcing people to die. What's more, those local gentry transferred their taxes to the common people through trickery, sprinkling and other means, which made matters worse, and I don't know how many wives were separated and families were ruined.

Yan Hong just listened and didn't say anything. You must know that the positions are different and the views are different, in the end, Liu Cai and others are really traitors who are greedy for bribes and bring disaster to the country, or whether they are cool officials who are in a hurry because they want to collect positive taxes, but it is difficult to judge at this time. Looking at the problem purely from the perspective of Sun Yuerong or ordinary people, it is not necessarily biased.

What's more, according to the explanation of the grandfather before he came, two of these four people are the minions of the Yan Mansion, and the two are Xu Jiezhi and leaves, so it is best not to offend, and they still have to rely on Liu Cai and Qian Feng in everything, and it is impossible to make a rash decision.

After such a rapid journey, it didn't take long to reach the outside of Jinan. Seeing that there were countless homeless people, and the city gate was very crowded, Yan Hong frowned, and scolded in his mouth: "Since these homeless people have arrived in Jinan, why are they in a hurry?" Running around, blocking the door like this, how do we get in? ”

Sun Yuerong knew that he was in a hurry to see himself, so she comforted her: "Yan Hong, you don't have to be in such a hurry. I've been much better since I met you. These were also poor people, and they were about to rush into the city to receive alms. Let's wait for them to pass, and it's the same. ”

When they were saying this at the head of the procession, some of the plagued people, seeing that they were richly dressed and neatly dressed, and that they were rich lords, came one after another, and stopped their horses, and kept kowtowing and begging.

Sun Yuerong wanted to dig out of her pocket, but Yan Hong held her hand and said, "Here it is again, you see, how can these many victims come here?" Don't worry about them, let's go ours. It's just that I don't know what this Jinan official eats, and doesn't he send people to maintain order? ”

While they were talking, they saw a group of officials coming from the streets of the city, holding water and fire sticks in their hands, and beating them up one after another to drive away the victims. These officers are tall and strong, and the water and fire sticks in their hands are aimed at the calves, waists, and ribs, which have many bones and no flesh, and they cannot be touched by the sticks. scolded while fighting:

"So that you pickled flowers can listen, Master Qincha will be here in a few days. Good dogs should not be told, you will beg Lao Tzu for money and food at this entrance, beware of killing you to feed wild dogs! Get out of the city quickly, and when you distribute the rice, you will not be needed, and now the king and several other members of the city have opened a porridge field to help you poor ghosts. Don't hurry over and drink porridge, don't complain if you starve to death. ”

When the refugees saw that the servants were like wolves and tigers, and heard that there was porridge in the city, they did not dare to ask Yan Hong and others for money again. Those servants are vicious, but they are much faster than you can push and shove and stop and walk one after another. In a short time, most of the outcasts at the city gate were reduced. Those errand soldiers saw that Yan Hong and his party were armed with weapons, well-dressed, and full of energy on their faces, they were definitely not hungry ghosts who had not eaten food for three days, and they didn't know which rich son or even a powerful person was, of course they didn't dare to offend, and the leader nodded to Yan Hong and said hello.

Yan Hong waited to see that the gate of the city was cleared, and was about to enter the city, when suddenly a young woman in a coarse cloth shirt reached out to grab Sun Yuerong's horse reins. Sun Yuerong has grown up on horseback since she was a child, how can this young woman catch it? With a flip of his wrist, he grabbed the woman's hand and asked, "What are you going to do?"
