Just after the beginning of winter, I got up early, the gate of the capital opened, and suddenly many people poured in from outside the city gate, and it seemed that they were all dressed as beggars?

The guards guarding the city don't know why, but there must be demons when things go wrong, not to mention that so many beggars suddenly poured into the capital.

I'm afraid something is going to happen, right?

The guards immediately reported the matter to the Commander, who listened to him and was very unimpressed, "What can a group of beggars do?" Fuss? ”

However, these people really shouldn't be careless about these beggars, because ......

"Come on, let's smash it together!" Outside the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, many unclothed beggars suddenly gathered.

They picked up the stones they had at hand and threw them at the door of the government.

Seeing this, the official hurriedly reported the matter to Jing Zhaoyin.

"What? Beggar? Boom away! Blasting them all away! "A group of beggars also rushed to join in the fun outside Jing Zhaoyin's mansion? Looks like you want to be put in prison, right?

The official took the order and went away, and with the spear and broadsword in his hand, he hurried to a group of beggars: "Go! Come on! If you don't leave, I'll arrest you! ”

"Why arrest us! We are but lonely beggars! If you don't have enough food and clothing, don't you all care? The beggars shouted loudly, and the official said with a blue face: "You can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes and it's not caused by our Jing Zhaoyin, what are you making trouble here!" If I make trouble again, I'll put you all in jail! ”

Xu is last sentence worked, and the beggars scolded and left.

The next day, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who had returned from the next dynasty, had just stepped out of the carriage and was suddenly surrounded by beggars hiding in the shadows.

"Let you officials not do things for the people! You should be beaten to death with a stick! The beggars besieged the powerless servant of the Ministry of Rites, and he was hit with stars in the eyes, and it took a lot of effort for the people in the house to save him from these beggars.

"What kind of world is this?" After waking up from home, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was crying, he didn't do anything, and he was beaten before he entered the house, and he was wronged when he thought about it.

In this way, he lay in bed for three days before he could continue to go to court.

After going to court, he hurriedly reported the matter to Xia Jingnian.

"Your Majesty, today there was a sudden influx of beggars in the capital, they were poorly clothed, and they said that they couldn't eat enough, because we were not good officials, and we didn't do things for the people. The waiter of the Ministry of Rites knelt down with a puff and said very aggrieved.

The imperial history of Zuodu on the side also followed and said: "Back to the emperor, these beggars shouted that it was because of the ineffective handling of the imperial court that they would not be able to eat enough and wear no warmth, and threatened to teach the officials in the capital a lesson, and to beat all the officials in the capital to show their dissatisfaction with the imperial court." ”

"Your Majesty, if this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that the people in the capital will also be affected by this, and even the emperor's reputation will be damaged!" The Shangshu of the Criminal Department also followed.

Xia Jingnian naturally understood that this must have been deliberately done by someone with a heart. He's in the palace, and this group of beggars won't do well, but these ministers always have to go home. Although the officials are generous and do not care about beggars, it is not a solution to continue like this in the long run.

"Since this is the case, then Liu Qing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is fully responsible for investigating this matter, and it is necessary to find out the truth!" Xia Jingnian thought about it, and decided that it would be more appropriate to send Shangshu of the Criminal Department to investigate this matter personally.

Then he said, "If such a thing happens again, you will simply take out some food and give it to these beggars!" Aren't they hungry? You gave them food, and I didn't believe it, and they still have an excuse to beat the officials! ”

"As for the money for the beggars to eat, if you are in short supply, you can report it to me, and I will give you the money." Xia Jingnian added. doctor

This last sentence is actually completely polite. After all, there is not much money to give the beggars food, and the homes of these officials are somewhat oily and watery, and they don't care about this bit of silver.

Besides, if they report to the court for this bit of silver, they are afraid that they will be despised, and they will only be excluded by other colleagues in the court in the future.

Xia Jingnian calculated these things correctly, and then he said that he could find the court for reimbursement.

After retiring from the court, Shangshu of the Criminal Department immediately went to prepare to investigate these matters.

On the other hand, Ji Yang has been trying hard to find Ji Qiang, but he still found nothing.

At this time, most of the injuries had healed, and Ji Yang planned to go north to look for them.

"Young master, we can't trust others casually this time." Ji Yang's subordinates changed a batch, and at this time, by his side was the new guard Xiao Chen.

"I naturally know this, don't worry." Although Xiao Chen is a newcomer, he is very loyal and has a high level of martial arts. He has been taking care of Ji Yang's diet and daily life since he called, and after getting along for the past few days, he can already be regarded as Ji Yang's henchman.

Ji Yang has always been very accurate in looking at people, and these guards were all sent to him by Xia Jingnian.

After Xia Jingnian knew about his injury last time, he also blamed himself, if it weren't for him, Ji Yang would not have suffered such a catastrophe.

Therefore, he deliberately re-appointed a group of people, whom he had personally chosen, and who must be faithful and reliable.

Xiao Chen helped Ji Yang get up and take a walk, looking at the flying snow outside the window, Ji Yang sighed deeply, "I've been looking for it for so long, and I still don't have any whereabouts of my sister." ”

Thinking of anything that might happen to Ji Qiang, Ji Yang was full of worries.

He was too anxious before, so as long as there was a little clue, he would personally look for it and verify it, which made it bad for others' plots.

This time, when he receives the news, he will definitely seriously investigate and punish those who vainly want to make money from it, and even those who want to take his life and be unfavorable to him, and severely punish them.

"Young Master, where are we going next?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Let's continue to go north, I hope my sister won't go too far." Ji Yang sighed, he hadn't thought about it before, maybe Ji Qiang wouldn't go that far. But if it's really what they thought it was, and they didn't look for it, it wouldn't be good.

After thinking about it, I decided to continue north.

"Young master, my subordinates think that the possibility of the queen mother's northward journey is very small, why don't we go back to the vicinity of the capital to find it? Maybe there will be clues? Xiao Chen proposed.

Ji Yang shook his head, "As early as when I set off, I had already checked the surroundings of the capital three times. Besides, if there is news around the capital, with the emperor's ability, he will not know about it, and he will inform us that we can go back a long time ago. There's no news, so we're going to keep looking. ”

"Do you think the queen mother will ......" Xiao Chen suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Before he could finish his words, Ji Yang's eyes instantly turned red, "Impossible!" My sister will be fine! ”

"But we've been looking for so long and there is no news......" Xiao Chen hesitated, but still said.
