Chapter 355: Settlement Sites
The carriage finally shook to the place, and everyone got out of the carriage at once.
This time, there is no artillery in Namazi Village, and there is no need to conceal it, let alone be cautious.
Immediately a man lit a torch and told him to go up and search for it, but as soon as it was lit, the cold wind blew and it was extinguished.
“……”
Everyone looked at each other, then turned around at the same time, as if they hadn't seen what had just happened, they all returned to the carriage, took off the lantern, held it in their hands, and then walked towards Mazi Village in an orderly manner.
After discussing with Yin Sheng, Lu Chengyan prepared to go separately.
This Mazi Village is not small, but it is not big, and almost half of a person can be searched quickly.
And now both of them are a little weird psychologically, hoping that they can find someone and then bring them back to the palace, but also hope that they will not find anyone, otherwise His Majesty the Emperor will be angry, and I am afraid that their heads will not be protected.
So the two of them started to search with such a mood, and then what they never expected was that after half an hour, they directly found Lu Yuanshan, and even earlier, they found refugees in some well-preserved places.
Everything is really as Rong gently guessed, although this place has been bombed by artillery in many places, but those people are willing to blow up those houses, after all, they have lived for a period of time, so the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, and the houses are basically fine.
The ruined ones were set on fire by the bandits before, and the rest did not change at all.
Lu Yuanshan looked at a few people in a daze, and the first thing he said was: "Why are you here?" Who told you about this place? Didn't you say you wanted to keep it secret? ”
These three questions made Lu Chengyan and Yin Shengqi stunned, and in the end, the master stood up and told the truth of the matter.
After Lu Chengyan finished speaking, he immediately asked, "What's the matter with you, what are you doing with taking all the refugees away?" The horseman didn't say a word, and His Majesty was also angry, so you'd better think about how to explain when you go back. ”
Lu Yuanshan was even more confused, he could understand his master's words, but he couldn't understand them.
What does it mean to deal with the victims in secret, what does it mean to call the Xiao cavalry guard without His Majesty's consent, and what does it mean that Zhen Hongcai doesn't know anything?
When Lu Yuanshan saw Lu Chengyan and Yin Sheng's ugly expression, he immediately reacted that he was afraid that things had changed, and immediately said: "I received the dictation of His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise how would I move the Xiao Cavalry Guard." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, it was even more exciting than Lu Yuanshan secretly taking away the refugees, so strong that everyone was like a sculpture, and they didn't move for a long time, and their expressions didn't even change at all.
"Whose oracle?" Yin Sheng himself didn't notice that his voice was trembling slightly.
"Prince, the prince ordered the prince to pass on the message, and he was worried that I wouldn't believe it, so he specially sent this token." Lu Yuanshan said and took out the golden token, and the golden dragon behind him was particularly dazzling at this moment.
Yin Sheng didn't care about any politeness or rudeness, so he grabbed it directly, and suddenly the sky whirled.
This token is real!
"Why did the prince ask you to hide the refugees?" Lu Chengyan asked.
Yin Sheng immediately looked at Lu Yuanshan.
Lu Yuanshan said: "Naturally, it's because of the wedding ceremony, saying that I don't want to affect it, after all, it is really a bit bad for this incident to appear before the ceremony begins...... In addition, I have been calling the people of the Xiao Cavalry Guard for the past few days, how can Zhen Hongcai say that he doesn't know anything, how can I go past him to give an order, and still dare not offend me? What should he not dare to offend me? I can't do anything to him. ”
The more Lu Yuanshan talked, the more angry he became, how did this end up being that he secretly took the refugees to hide, and there were even ridiculous rumors that he was ready to deal with the refugees privately.
There is no problem with what Lu Yuanshan said and the token he took out, so the only possibility is the order given by the prince.
Yin Sheng frowned and pondered: The crown prince did not tell His Majesty the Emperor, he gave the order directly, and he thought that something was wrong, so he went directly to His Majesty the Emperor and directly pulled out this matter, did he do something wrong, did he implicate His Royal Highness the Prince......
"The top priority is to quickly resettle the refugees, and then immediately go to the crown prince." Lu Chengyan frowned.
They had to confirm one thing, that is, whether it was the crown prince's order or not.
If it really is, then this is a big oolong, and it may even affect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
But if it wasn't the prince's order, but someone designed it, then they would be passive now, and they had to hurry up to find the person who gave them the false news.
Lu Yuanshan did a good job of resettling refugees, trying to let them have food and shelter under limited conditions, but there was no way to go out as much as possible, and then use firewood to warm up.
Before leaving, Lu Chengyan asked casually: "Are there any sick?" He seemed to have heard someone cough just now.
Lu Yuanshan shook his head and said, "No." ”
The carriage galloped all the way back to Kyoto.
No one thought that the matter of a few refugees at the beginning would involve so much that even tonight's arrest was inexplicable.
"You didn't come to me to discuss, now it's okay, I stabbed His Majesty the Emperor, and I don't know how this matter will end." Yin Sheng said with a sigh. If the prince and his old friend are implicated because of him, then he really can't escape the blame.
Lu Yuanshan waved his hand and said: "It's not a big problem, after all, I did settle the refugees well, and then let the treasury allocate a little pension to them, and when the winter is over, it is estimated that they will return to their hometown." ”
"The refugees in the summer seem to be floods, but they quickly retreat, so people will soon return to their hometowns, what is going on in this winter?" Lu Chengyan couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's been a very cold year, and all the crops are dead, so I can't pay taxes at all. And the local seems to be a corrupt official, colluding with the rich people there, oppressing these people, they really have no choice, they escaped at night, and they also came to Kyoto to cry out for grievances, so they came to the government office. I have already sent someone to investigate the area, and once it is confirmed, I will immediately bring the corrupt official to justice. Lu Yuanshan said.
Yin Sheng nodded.
It can be said that Lu Yuanshan handled it very well, if the prince really handed over this matter to him, it would be normal for him to deal with it when the time came, the prince would invite merit, the folk reputation would be better, and he would be the next Ming Jun.
Mingjun ......
His Majesty the Emperor is still sitting in a high position, and it is not a good thing to have a Ming Jun at this time, it will be feared.
The prince shouldn't be such a reckless man, right? Or maybe you're in a bit of a hurry, because you're a little dissatisfied with the three princes?
Yin Sheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
