There was still goose feather snow in the sky, and at this time in the past, there were very few pedestrians on the street, but today's south of the city is as bustling as if it has exploded, especially around the Zhenguo General's Mansion, which is full of people who come to see the excitement.

"Lord Fu Yin has arrived—"

The accompanying officials shouted, and the onlookers retreated to both sides to make way out.

When Mei Xiaoren passed by here last time, he saw that the Zhenguo General's Mansion was in a dilapidated state, and when he saw him today, everything had been whitewashed. In accordance with His Majesty's instructions, the Ministry of Works removed the plaque on the gate of the palace.

The officials of the Shangjing Prefecture Office had fenced off the front of the mansion and prevented the people from approaching, and it was not only her who went to the Beijing Prefecture and the supervisors of the Ministry of Industry who were present, telling her that the shed that had been crushed by the heavy snow was outside the walls of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and that there was nothing in the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

When Mei Xiaoren went to the place where the incident occurred, he found that the labor settlement next to the outer wall was already in a mess, and the collapsed shack was still covered with thick snow, and it was not easy to save people.

Numerous officials were searching and digging through the rubble, carrying out dead and wounded people.

The blood on their bodies dripped on the snow, and they looked unusually red.

The overseer of the Ministry of Works said that hundreds of people lived under the humble shed......

When Mei Xiaoren heard this, his heart was already cold. She went from the seventh grade to the third grade, and most of the time she spent her time in the local yamen, dealing with the people, and the most unseen thing was that the people had casualties.

The scene in front of her made her not only worried, but also angry, she glanced at the officials of the Ministry of Works, her eyes were cold, "It's the New Year's Day, why do you have to rush to work?" ”

The official also felt aggrieved, and bowed his hand: "My lord, it was ordered by His Majesty as soon as possible, and the lowly officials only knew how to act as ordered." ”

She knew that it was Wei Guogong's idea to repair the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and His Majesty just accepted his proposal.

Although it was Chu Yu's order to let the Ministry of Industry start to do it, how could the Prime Minister's Mansion personally ask about such an inconsequential matter as whether the mansion was to be repaired or demolished.

During the renovation period, the Ministry of Engineering should obey His Majesty's orders, and His Majesty's orders are mostly the meaning of Wei Guogong, so it is Wei Guogong's Mansion that is staring at the repair of the General's Mansion.

When Mei Xiaoren was indignant, another voice came to his ears:

"Childe, Lord Wailang said, this matter does not matter, as long as the general's mansion is not affected, the repair will be completed as scheduled, please rest assured that Lord Guogong and His Majesty."

She looked back, but did not find the person who spoke, and when she walked around the corner, she saw that an official was reporting to two people.

The sound of her footsteps attracted their attention, and the official was startled, and hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "I have seen Lord Fu Yin." ”

The other two turned their heads in unison, looking calm.

Mei Xiaoren was silent, staring at the two of them, his face as heavy as the cloudy sky today.

There are still hundreds of people over there whose fate is uncertain, and the people of the Wei State Mansion are here to discuss how to complete the project on time......

Wu Xian smiled and asked her, "Senior Brother Mei, are you here to deal with the aftermath?" ”

She remembered that Chu Yu once said that Wei Guogong proposed to repair the general's mansion in order to curry favor with the border soldiers, which was in line with the principle of the Guogong lord's reputation first, but the people only knew that the imperial court was repairing the general's mansion, and they didn't know who was urging it......

This kind of blood debt, she and Chu Yu don't bear it.

"Who do you want to clean up for you?"

Wu Xian still smiled, "Why did Senior Brother Mei say this, it is Your Majesty's intention to repair the General's Mansion, is Senior Brother Mei blaming Your Majesty for disregarding people's lives?" ”

Mei Xiaoren didn't bother to pay attention to which dog was barking, she only looked at one person, her eyebrows were deeply locked, "Ye Zhi, were you such a person who didn't take the lives of the people seriously in the past!" ”

Ye Zhi also looked at her at first, but as soon as these words came out, he turned his gaze to look at the wall next to him, and he was silent for a long time.

"Senior Brother Mei, what you said is serious......

"Shut up!" Mei Xiaoren glared at Wu Xian angrily, his eyes slowly swept left and right, and sneered, "Now that all the people have not been rescued, you are here to figure out how to complete it as soon as possible, I really admire you, it is rare to be able to turn a blind eye to the blood all over the ground outside, and there is no humanity so far." ”

She looked at the official who was still in a saluting posture, remembered what he looked like, and turned to leave.

Mei Xiaoren walked out of the corner, the figure disappeared from their eyes, and Ye Zhifang, who had been silent, spoke: "Stop work, save people." ”

Wu Xian immediately said: "Master Ye, Lord Guogong didn't say that, Lord Guogong means to complete the repair as soon as possible!" ”

"I'll explain it to my father."

Wu Xian found that the officials of the Ministry of Industry were already in a cold sweat, and guessed that Ye Zhi would change his position, most of them were also afraid, after all, Mei Xiaoren is now a member of the third grade, and there is a prime minister behind him, how can they afford to provoke him.

"What is Lord Ye afraid of Mei Xiaoren doing, repairing the General's Mansion is an errand assigned by His Majesty, what's wrong with us urging and urging?" Wu Xian smiled, and his tone was very relaxed, "Even if Mei Xiaoren sues Gu Xiang, it doesn't matter, Gu Xiang is covering the sky with one hand, and you can't blame Your Majesty as a courtier, this is the norm." ”

Ye Zhi turned a deaf ear to other people's words, and when he saw that the officials were indifferent, he reprimanded sharply: "I said, stop work to save people, didn't you hear!" ”

"Yes...... It's ......," the official replied in a loud voice.

They no longer want to see the Duke of Wei, and they have to take care of His Majesty. In the matter of repairing the General's Mansion, Ye Gongzi's meaning is the meaning of the Guogong, and the meaning of the Guogong is the meaning of His Majesty, of course they have to do it.

Mei Xiaoren turned the corner and heard someone talking at the root of the wall on the side:

"Alas, this place is unlucky, since we came here, how many strange things have happened, last time the roof tiles suddenly collapsed, didn't they also hurt people?"

Someone whispered: "Yes, I heard that General Zhenguo died in vain, and his soul has always been here, did we start construction this time, did it disturb his old man and make him unhappy?" ”

"What kind of disturbance, this is that the soul has nowhere to complain, just like the flying snow in June." Someone sighed, "Evil door, really evil door, the shed will not collapse one day, but it will collapse during the New Year, this is the first day of the new year, and it is not a good sign that so many people have died at the feet of the Son of Heaven." ”

Mei Xiaoren took a few steps back, poked his head out, and saw a few surviving laborers whispering there.

The workers didn't recognize her, but they did recognize the official uniform. Several people's faces turned pale, and they hurriedly kowtowed to her, "My lord, we know that we are wrong, and we don't dare to chew our tongues anymore." ”

Mei Xiaoren saw that there was blood on their clothes, and said calmly: "Get up and take care of your injuries." With that, he left as if he hadn't heard anything.
