Text Chapter 35 Ningxian County Order
Under the guidance of Tangtang, Zhao Ming and his entourage came to the broken temple that Tangtang said. Sure enough, it's very broken, like it has been abandoned for a long time, and it's a shame that Tangtang can stay here for so long.
On the altar in the temple lies the body of a middle-aged man, presumably the father of Sugar Candy. The face and body are quite neat, so it must have taken a lot of effort on sugar candy. Zhao Ming asked Wang Qinian to restrain Zhang Xian's order, which caused Tangtang to cry again, and his throat was almost hoarse.
Zhao Ming was very distressed, picked up Tangtang and walked aside to comfort him, and waved his hand to signal Wang Qinian to hurry up and drive the carriage to arrange Zhang Xianling's funeral. "In the future, my brother will take care of you, my brother's surname is Zhao Mingming, and you will be my sister in the future, can Tangtang tell my brother what your name is?"
Sugar Candy sobbed and said, "Well, Brother Ming. In the past, my father said that girls can't tell their names to outsiders casually, but my brother has bought Tangtang now, and Tangtang can tell you his name. Tangtang's big name is Zhang Yining. ”
"Yining? It's a nice name, but my brother still likes the name Tangtang. ”
"Ah, so is Sugar Candy. Tangtang also thinks that the name Tangtang is much cuter than Zhang Yining. ”
Just when Zhao Ming finally coaxed Tangtang into tears and laughed, Xiao Guizi walked over with a mending package and whispered, "Your Highness, this is the package that Miss Tangtang said." Inside there is an epistle and an official seal. The slave maid has seen it, and this official seal is really the official seal of the county order of Ning County. ”
"Bring me the letter." Zhao Ming held Tangtang in one hand and unfolded the letter paper in the other, and if he didn't look at it, he could already see that he was angry, and his eyes were red.
It turned out that the Yellow River broke this time, and Ning County was also seriously affected. The city was also washed away by the flood, and the victims were everywhere. Ningxian County ordered Zhang Zhao to quickly collect the victims and open up the rescue of the little food for disaster relief. Not long after it started, he was criticized by the government office, saying that he acted privately without asking for instructions, and reported that the regular liquidation was destroyed and could not provide evidence. There is a suspicion of embezzlement.
Zhang County ordered a letter of defense, and again asked for disaster relief food, but there was no reply. Feeling that something was wrong, he secretly sent his henchmen to the neighboring state capitals to inquire about the news, and found that the state capitals in various places had issued disaster relief notices. There is no movement in Ninghua Prefecture, where Thaning County is located!
Zhang Zhao, who was anxious, went to Fucheng to question, and learned that the official document had been posted, but the official document of the Fuzun did not have to be sent to all counties.
Zhang Xianling was anxious, thinking that the victims in Ning County who were waiting to be fed endured this breath and begged for the relief grain and grass allocated by the imperial court.
At that time, it was Li Huai, the lord of the government, who personally received him, and sincerely admitted his mistake to his subordinate, saying that the evidence was not well thought out, so don't be surprised. And as a government honor, he guaranteed that the disaster relief food would be on the road early tomorrow morning, and it would arrive in Ning County in two days at the latest. The words were sincere, and let Zhang County order write the delivery documents, saving him from delaying disaster relief again and again.
Zhang County Ling did not doubt him, and Ning County was too badly affected, and there were too many things to deal with. wrote down the delivery documents on the spot, said goodbye to Bepfuzun, and rushed back to Ning County that night. In front of the victims, he swore that on the third day, the imperial court would arrive for relief food. The local victims have always trusted this usually fair and honest parent official, and they really waited for relief food after being hungry for a day.
Zhang Xianling's mentality was relaxed, and he was also afraid that the victims would loot on the spot. At the suggestion of the officials of the Escort Grain Fucheng, the grain was put into the warehouse first, and when he planned to open the warehouse again to release the grain, he found that only the outermost layer of this batch of rice grain was grain, and the remaining nine layers were sand and gravel!
Zhang Xianling knew his plan, forcibly held back, and asked the officials to screen out the rice and grain to rescue the disaster first. After returning to the county office, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I fainted with blood in my mouth. The disaster was not a one-way street, and that night an assassin attacked the county government and stabbed Zhang County's order. Sugar Candy's mother died on the spot just to protect Sugar Candy.
Zhang Xianling, with the desperate help of the officials, escaped from the county government with sugar candy. This is to kill people and kill people! Zhang County Commander couldn't help but be frightened, these days with sugar candy to hide in Tibet, but received a message from the government office, Ning County County Order embezzled the imperial court disaster relief rice grain, absconded with the money, and served as a tiger, resisted stubbornly, and had been punished on the spot. He, Zhang Zhao, is already a corrupt official and corrupt official that everyone shouts and beats!
Only then did Zhang Zhao understand that Li Huai, the emperor of the palace, not only wanted the grain money for the disaster relief of the imperial court, but also the land in the hands of the people who had no food. Only by forcing the victims into a desperate way can he buy them at the lowest price, and he who is actively relieving the disaster has already become a thorn in Li Huai's side!
Zhang Zhao didn't know how many people in Ninghua Prefecture were in the same stream as Fuzun, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, and planned to go north to Beijing with his young daughter. Only there can the stigma be washed away. Zhang Zhao also kept an eye on it, knowing that there must be people who chased him and killed him when he went north directly, waiting to go east first and then turn around to look north, and sure enough, let him escape from Ninghua Mansion.
Along the way, day and night, the injuries on his body have not dared to be treated, for fear that there will be people chasing and killing. finally survived to the outskirts of the capital, and it really couldn't support it, and he died.
At the end of the letter, the note became very sloppy, apparently because the owner of the letter knew that he was not strong and that his life was short. Frankly wrote that if the benefactor could see this letter and have the ability to submit it to the court, he Zhang Zhao would definitely repay the benefactor in the next life. If he is weak, Zhang Zhao does not dare to complain, but only wants to treat his daughter well for the sake of Zhang Zhao's dedication to the country.
As for this past, he didn't have to tell his daughter, and it was scattered with the wind. This letter and the official seal were disposed of with Engong, whether they were kept or destroyed, and Zhang Zhao was grateful.
Zhao Ming's nose was sour when he read a letter, blood poured into his brain, and he commanded in a cold voice: "Wang Qinian, dismantle the horses in a carriage, and return to Beijing with me quickly, Xiao Guizi take care of Tangtang, no matter what method you use to keep Zhang Gong's body." I will bring back the head of Li Huai to pay tribute to Gong Zhang, to comfort Gong Zhang's soul in the sky! ”
Seeing that Zhao Ming was about to hand himself over to Xiao Guizi, Tangtang said in a milky voice: "Brother Ming, don't you want me like your father?" ”
Zhao Ming squatted down and wiped his dirty little face and said, "Tangtang, my brother is going to avenge your father." Your father is a great man, and my brother respects him very much, and I don't want him to regret leaving. Tangtang is obedient, follow this brother first, and my brother will pick you up soon. ”
"Well, as long as my brother wants sugar candy, sugar candy is very obedient, and my father often praises sugar candy for being obedient." The little girl nodded sensibly, let go of the hand that had been holding Zhao Ming, and followed behind Xiao Guizi.
"Wang Qinian, bring the letter and the big seal. Walk outside! Zhao Ming finally glanced at Sugar Candy and turned over on his horse. He felt that there was a fire in his heart, which burned so much that he couldn't stop, and he had to do something.
I galloped all the way, and I didn't even have the heart to stop for a glass of water. Until the gate of the palace, Zhao Ming handed over the horse to Wang Qinian, took the big seal, and went straight to the study.
