Chapter 121: A private interview with Weifu

"The superiors, the lower officials also think that this matter needs to be investigated and understood as soon as possible." Shi Guoliang's eyes lit up and said: "It's best to bring the culprit to justice before this matter spreads, otherwise it will greatly affect the stability of the people's hearts." ”

Dong Lin pondered for a moment, twisted his beard and said: "This matter is not trivial, so naturally it must be over." However, the urgent need is to solve the problem of running out of food for disaster relief first. We can't mess up because of one thing, and there is no distinction between priority and priority. ”

"What the superior said is very true." Shi Guoliang nodded frequently and said: "If it weren't for the reminder from the top, the lower officials would have almost messed up the priority." Early tomorrow morning, Xia Guan will immediately send people to the nearby counties with abundant grain production to buy grain, and transport it back to Pingzhou one after another to solve the urgent need. ”

"That's very good." Dong Lin said to Tuoba Shou again: "Investigate the robbery of military rations, and leave it to Lord Tuoba." ”

Shi Guoliang also stood up excitedly, hugged his fists and said: "I have heard for a long time that Lord Tuoba is fair and discerning, and he will definitely be able to find out the truth of this matter!" Everything will have Lord Lao Tuoba! ”

"The next official has an order. The next official will go to deal with tomorrow's affairs first, and retire first. Tuoba Shou clenched his fists, turned around and strode away.

Soon after Tuoba Shou left, Shi Guoliang also got up to say goodbye.

After a while, a middle-aged man dressed as a servant brought Dong Lin a food table.

"My lord, it's not early [no] [wrong] m., please have dinner." The servant bowed his head.

I saw that on the dining table was a white porcelain plate, a pair of chopsticks and a pot of tea. The porcelain plate was stacked with three white flour steamed buns the size of a soup bowl, plus a handful of pickles, and nothing else.

Dong Lin was reading an official document from a nearby state capital. He reached out and picked up a white-flour steamed bun and said, "It's okay, you're busy." ”

"Master," the servant didn't leave immediately, but hesitated, kowtowed to Dong Lin and said, "The villain knows that he has a lot of mouths, but he really can't bear to watch the master eat these things that only our subordinates can eat every day." Like the old man, who sleeps all night for the public, and is always worried about the victims, if you still eat such things every day, it is easy to exhaust your body. The meat and food in the public middle school are actually quite sufficient, so please ask the master to change the food. ”

Dong Lin put down the white-faced steamed bun in his hand, looked at the servant and smiled lightly: "Dongning, I know your intentions." However, if you allow the victims to suffer from hunger and cold outside the city, while you are here with a high bed and warm pillows, fine clothes and fine food, how can you empathize with the victims and put yourself in their shoes? The Holy God arranged this errand for me, not for me to enjoy the blessings, but for me to 'sleep all night for the public' and 'worry about it', but I have been an official for many years, but I have never been so energetic and full of ambition as I am now. The livestock raised in captivity in the public middle school are all sold to rich families in exchange for some rice and noodles, so that the consumption in the house can be saved a little. ”

The servant named Dong Ning sighed silently and nodded.

"Master, there is one more thing about the villain...... I don't know how to say it......" Dong Ning hesitated again.

"Say it." Dong Lin picked up a white-flour steamed bun, picked up some pickles with chopsticks, and put it in his mouth, but his eyes did not leave the official document on the case.

"Yes, sir." Dongning bowed his head and said, "The villain overheard Taishou and the old man talking about the Holy Lord's personal visit to the disaster...... The villain was stupid, and secretly speculated that if the Holy Lord inspected the disaster, he would definitely come to Pingzhou, and estimated that the day should be almost up...... The villain knows that the lord is not a man who slaps horses and tends to be inflammatory, but out of the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, should the lord temporarily put down his official duties and go out of the city to wait for him? ”

"That's what it was." Dong Lin smiled and said, "I know that you are delicate and thoughtful. But what you said is common sense, if it was a peaceful world, I should have waited in person on the way to Pingzhou, waiting to welcome the holy car, even if I waited for ten days and ten nights, I would not complain. However, this is the time of great calamity, and it is extraordinary. Welcoming thousands of miles away may not be able to please Long Yan, only by properly rehousing the victims is the only way to repay the grace of the Holy Father. ”

Dong Ning didn't say anything more, and withdrew with an unconcealable worry between his eyebrows.

Because of the curfew imposed in the city, all liquor stores, casinos and other entertainment venues are also prohibited from operating after dark, so the city of Pingzhou at night is as quiet as the countryside.

A horse-drawn carriage crossed several streets and stopped in front of the gate of a house. Under the eaves, two red lanterns shine out of the door, and the two big characters "Shifu" are on the forehead.

The gate was opened by the dismounted king, and a beautiful woman with a few servants came out to greet him.

At this time, it was Pingzhou Taishou Shi Guoliang who got down from the carriage.

"Husband, you're back." The beautiful woman stepped forward with a smile, walked into the courtyard side by side with Shi Guoliang, and said as she walked: "Husband, why did you come back so late tonight?" The food was cold, and it was hot again. The concubine knows that you are running around outside the city every day for disaster relief, working hard, and suffering from the sun and rain, so today she specially ordered someone to stew ginseng and chicken soup, so as to replenish your husband's vitality, spleen and lungs, and calm your nerves and wisdom. ”

Shi Guoliang kept holding his hands behind his back, staring at his brows and saying nothing, and slowly paced forward.

Seeing such a situation, Mrs. Shi raised her hand and beckoned all the maids and servants who were waiting behind her to retreat, before she approached Shi Guoliang and whispered, "Does the husband have something on his mind?" ”

Only then did Shi Guoliang straighten his chest and said with a sigh of relief: "The old man's injured 'vitality', how can a cup of ginseng and chicken soup be able to make up for it?" ”

Mrs. Shi's bright eyes turned slightly, and she seemed to have guessed eight or nine points about what her husband was referring to, but she didn't say anything, but continued to ask in a low voice: "Husband is not happy to work under the disaster relief superintendent Dong Lin?" ”

Shi Guoliang sneered in a low voice, "Hmph, Dong Lin is a person who doesn't eat soft and hard, is invulnerable, and won't give up until he reaches his goal." On the surface, he is gentle and kind, but in essence, he is a jackal beast that digs three feet into the ground and eats people without spitting out bones! If he stays in my Pingzhou City for another five days, the five-year foundation that the old man has worked so hard here will be destroyed! ”

"Husband, why is that?" Mrs. Shi continued to ask with a solemn look.

Shi Guoliang stroked the short beard on his lips, suppressed his anger in a deep voice: "As soon as he came to Pingzhou, he immediately asked to open a warehouse for disaster relief, and now he has almost distributed the hoarded grain, and he also sent special personnel to strictly supervise the daily delivery and actual use of grain weight, there is no room for saving money and private storage." A few days ago, he also coerced and lured rich people to donate a lot of money...... If this continues, the old man's small treasury will be found out and confiscated by him sooner or later! In this way, the reputation of saving the people from fire and water can be won by him Dong Lin alone, and he can still take this credit to ask for merit in front of the saint. Not only did the old man have no merit, but after he left, he left behind this mess of grain storage, empty treasury money, and rich people complaining, and the old man had to clean it up alone! This makes the old man how to gain a foothold in Pingzhou in the future and stand up in front of these businessmen who have been making money and paying tribute every year? ! ”

Speaking of this, he became more and more angry, and said bitterly: "The old man has been guarding the Taishou in Pingzhou City for five years, not that his career is not smooth, and there is no high position to go, but he took a fancy to this is a rich city with abundant products and rich residents. Unexpectedly, today, the relationship established between the old man and the rich man in the city was about to be ruined by Dong Lin; If you don't obey at all, you may be referred to by him in front of the saint, and it will inevitably be unsafe at that time! ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Shi bit her lip and said, "What the husband said is very true. Today, Mrs. Zhou from the Xinglong Silk and Satin Workshop came to the door to find the concubine and cry, saying that there was something about his master who offended his husband, and why didn't the husband miss the old love, and accompanied the superintendent to force their master to pledge money and food. The concubine explained for her husband: 'How could it be that the husband doesn't remember the old feelings, it is clear that the superintendent is coercive and deceitful, and the husband is also forced to do so." 'Mrs. Zhou cried for a long time," Mrs. Shi's tone suddenly became treacherous, "and she forced the concubine to wear a set of emerald gold jewelry before she was willing to leave." ”

"Madam, how can you still accept gifts from others at this time?" Shi Guoliang frowned and blamed in a low voice.

Mrs. Shi smiled, "Husband, it is at this time that you can't refuse their financial gifts. If you don't refuse their financial gifts, it shows that you have the confidence to control the situation at any time. And if they refuse their gifts, they will become more and more fearful. ”

"Madam is wise, but the old man is confused." Shi Guoliang nodded, and after a pause, he suddenly looked at his wife as if he had woken up to something, and said, "In this way, does Madam already have any clever plan?" ”

Mrs. Shi smiled and nodded, "The concubine has a plan of 'killing two birds with one stone', not only can the husband be the first to join him Dong Lin in front of the saint, but also let that Dong Lin ......."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Shi raised her head and whispered in Shi Guoliang's ear. After listening attentively, Shi Guoliang pondered for a moment, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, and the cold light in his slender eyes was slightly, "Okay!" It's up to Madame. ”

A pair of bright eyes opened in the dark night, and the dark brown eyes revealed an inexplicable dangerous aura, adding a bit of chill and killing intent under the reflection of the moonlight that spilled in from the window.

Ashina sat up from the bed indefinitely. Although he had been blowing the lamp in the room of this inn an hour ago to rest, he was still dressed at the moment, and obviously did not sleep with his clothes.

"Knock-knock! Boom! Knock" was heard in the distance. The slow and fast rhythm shows that it has reached the fourth watch.

Ashina held Guan Xiao who was placed next to the bed in his hand indefinitely, stood up, came to the door with light and fast steps, gently pushed open the door and closed it lightly with his backhand, and walked to the room where Zuo Ying lived without hesitation.
