Chapter 159: Imperial Grain Robbed?

"I'm afraid of a fart, what can he find out? It's a disaster year now, and I didn't let God let God let it fall, what can I do? Besides, if the imperial court doesn't send out materials for a long time, if I open a warehouse, we will have to go hungry now, and once we are hungry, who will manage the victims? Those hungry and crazy disaster victims can't eat us alive? We must survive ourselves before we can help them, you say, is that the truth?"

"Well, it makes sense, let's take care of ourselves first, fortunately we have that batch of cotton clothes and quilts, this winter is much better, but if he wants to see some homeless people, what should we do?

"Don't worry, the official has been settled, if he really wants to see it, the official will take him there, anyway, the cotton clothes and quilts are all covered on our relatives, just pretend to be a homeless man, and just fool the past. ”

Everyone gave a neat thumbs up, "Gao!

Ji Qing was so angry that he vomited blood, kicked open the door, and the cold wind whistled in, and those people didn't understand the situation yet, and scolded, "What's the matter? Why didn't the door close properly? Do you want to freeze to death to me?"

The maidservant hurriedly ran over, but saw a person walking in the cold wind, Ji Qingran carried a sword, and stepped in angrily.

The maidservant turned around and ran away, and the county lord saw that it was Ji Qingran, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace, "His Royal Highness the Dye King, why did you come here?"

The people at the table were all frightened, and they quickly got up and knelt on the ground.

Ji Qingran looked at the table of good wine and food, and said coldly, "Who told this king just now that he was short of materials, so he could only drink porridge and eat sweet potatoes to barely survive? Look at this, isn't it Qinggu County?"

The county lord knelt on the ground and shook into a sieve, "Yes, yes...... It's like this, this table...... This table of wine and food is prepared for His Royal Highness the Dye King, and we are about to invite you over, hehe, I didn't expect you to come by yourself, come and sit down!"

Ji Qingran looked at his flattering face, so disgusted that he wanted to vomit, "You really think this king is a fool, what you just said, this king can hear it clearly, now Qinggu County is so difficult, you parasites, and you live such a luxurious life, you can imagine how difficult it is for the people! You dare to swallow the king's materials privately, can this king let you go?"

When the words fell, a long sword fell, angrily beheading the county lord, and a group of people screamed in fright, shrank under the table, and shook into a sieve, "His Royal Highness the Dye King spares his life." ”

Ji Qingran looked at them coldly, and stepped forward step by step, the tip of the sword was still dripping blood, "What qualifications do you have to live? ”

Brush Brush Brush ......

The knife fell in his hand, and the movement was extremely fast, and a lot of heads rolled on the ground, and the maid fainted in fright.

The smell of blood in the room was overwhelming, and Chu Ge was almost vomited.

After killing this batch of moths, Ji Qingran came out, and the general happened to come over, and when he saw him covered in blood, he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, "His Royal Highness the Dye King, what's going on?"

"The county lord is greedy for the king's law, embezzled disaster relief materials, and has been killed by this king, and now all the things in Qinggu County are under the control of this king, you must also know, what has he done?"

The general lowered his face and said respectfully, "The subordinates naturally know, the subordinates have a low official position, there is no way, in fact, I also want to tell His Royal Highness the Dye King, and I am afraid that you will be the same as them, so I can't speak in the end." ”

Ji Qingran looked at his vicissitudes of face and nodded, "This king is naturally different from them, you still have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to your crimes, if you do well, this king will spare your life." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey. ”

Ji Qingran explained to him that he would bring the materials back, and then settle the victims well!

"Yes, my subordinates will do it. ”

After explaining, Ji Qingran took Chu Ge back to the main hall, a group of people ate and drank enough, snuggled up by the fire and laughed, Ji Beihan also came back, looking for Chu Ge, seeing her come back, his heart was put down, and he couldn't help but blame, "Where did you go?" ”

Chu Ge laughed, and Ji Qingran said, "Jun Gongzi, don't be angry, thanks to her today, this king found out the truth." ”

So, I told you what I had just done, and everyone was very relieved after listening to it.

Ji Beihan said, "There is better news, just now I secretly went to the granary to investigate, there is still a lot of grain over there, the county lord not only did not open the warehouse to release the grain, but also secretly collected grain at a low price, sold it at a high price, and profited from it, the snow disaster in Qinggu County is very big, but it is far from being able to reach such a point, it is because of such moths, which has led to such serious consequences now!"

"Damn, these people really don't have any humanity, and they die unjustly!" Ji Qingran scolded angrily, and immediately led people to the granary.

Sure enough, as Ji Beihan said, the grain in the granary is enough to last for several days, and after these days, the imperial grain should be able to arrive!

That night, Ji Qingran put all the homeless people in the city into the yamen, distributed cotton clothes and quilts, and wrote a notice outside the yamen, saying that people who were too cold at home and had no food could temporarily take refuge in the yamen.

Early the next morning, there was a steady stream of people crowding into the yamen, several rows of big houses, all of which were crowded to their full, and a few large cauldrons were supported in the gate of the yamen, and the people could come to eat for free, from morning to night.

In just one day, there was no one who froze to death in the entire Qinggu County, and the people were all smiling, treating Ji Qingran as a god, and the good reputation of the Dye King was spread out in this way, and the deeds of his angry beheading of the county lord were also made up into stories and spread in various ways.

A few days later, even the people in the countryside were suffering, dragging their families into the city, the number of people increased, and the pressure was getting bigger and bigger, and the worst thing was that the imperial grain never arrived, and the wind and snow continued.

On the seventh day, there was not much grain in the granary, and the general came to report, saying that it would continue to be eaten like this, and that it would last for two more days at most, and if it could not be received, there would be a riot again, and the terrible thing was that the number of people was still increasing, and the entire Qinggu county town was crowded with people who had been affected by the disaster.

"Why hasn't the imperial grain come yet? It's been seven days, no matter how slow it is, it should be able to arrive in five days!" Ji Qingran was very anxious, and everyone was anxious.

On the sixth day, the person sent back finally returned, and he reported helplessly, "His Royal Highness the Dye King, King Ji said that the imperial grain had already been distributed, and it was robbed by bandits halfway......"

"How many hairs?

"Five hundred loads of grain were distributed, and all of them were robbed. ”

Ji Qingran was furious when he heard this, "Are the people who deliver the grain all straw bales? Why did they let the bandits snatch it? Besides, why do the bandits want so much grain?"

"I don't know, King Ji said so, he also said that the emperor heard that five hundred loads of grain were robbed by bandits, Long Yan was furious, let you find a way to get it back, he will not increase the imperial grain!"
