Chapter 218: Zhixian Mobai
Cen County was not far away, and the carriage arrived in an hour, so Fu Yinxiao and his wife did not get up early because of this.
Tao Yuan got up and changed into plain clothes, explained the things in the store before going out with Fu Yinxiao. The carriage was waiting at the door, and Fu Yinxiao saw Fu Minghou blocking the gate from a distance, and when he got closer, he didn't see that she had the intention of getting out of the way.
"Brother," Fu Yin smiled casually, "Is there anything wrong with you?"
Fu Minghou's eyes were ruthless, and he seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with his move to go to Cen County to investigate in person, and said in a low voice, "It's not so easy to get the reputation of a loyal minister, if you really join forces with the emperor to clean up the ministers, you will offend people and involve us in our family."
I wanted to get rid of him so early, Fu Yinxiao sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly, "As a courtier, I am just thinking about the people, and my brother doesn't have to be so timid and afraid." ”
As he spoke, he took Tao Kite's hand and walked towards the carriage.
"Fu Yinxiao" Fu Minghou stood behind him and shouted angrily, "You don't know the severity of it, and act recklessly"
"I understand."
Fu Minghou looked at his back, and suddenly smiled suspiciously, this person would become the biggest stumbling block to his succession, so it was better to let him disappear directly.
Looking up, the sky is clear, and it is a good day to be a death day.
On the way, Tao Kite took out the mille-feuille cake wrapped in a handkerchief, tore a piece and handed it to Fu Yinxiao's eyes, "Why do you keep your face cold when you eat?"
Fu Yinxiao opened his mouth and put the mille-feuille cake into his mouth, the slightly sweet and cold taste was very chewy, he sighed, and said, "I have a weight, but I can't help everyone in Cen County on my own, and more importantly, my father may not necessarily support it." ”
"The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill," the pottery kite was like a hamster eating, sending it to its mouth one by one, "The court must solve this matter, and you can't wait for the rain next year to come and take care of it."
Fu Yinxiao hesitated for a moment and commented on his father, "The prince cherishes his wings and does not want to offend people." ”
"Yes." Tao Yuan nodded, what he said was not unreasonable. The three of them became tigers, and everyone was golden, if they were a little inappropriate to be ginseng, it would be difficult for things to end.
This thankless thing is one
People don't do it easily.
Cen County was even more desolate and poor than expected, and before he got out of the carriage, he smelled a strong fishy smell, and there were crows on the side who kept chirping.
Crows eat scavenging, and Fu Yinxiao just lifted the curtain of the car and saw the corpse on the side of the road, which had rotted beyond recognition. He frowned, and instructed the little servant behind him, "First go and find a place to bury the corpse that is too conspicuous in the middle of the road." ”
He turned to Tao Kite and said, "You close your eyes and get out of the car with me." ”
Tao Yuan put his hand into his palm according to his words, got out of the carriage with his eyes closed, and suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and he had been hugged by Fu Yin.
Fu Yinxiao's voice came from above his head, and it was extremely reassuring to listen to. "The ground is dirty, don't open your eyes. Before I came, I had someone call the magistrate, and I took you there. ”
All the way to the gate of Zhixian County, I found that his house was also dilapidated, and his house was surrounded by walls. When they saw him coming, they hurried out to meet him.
Mo Bai smiled neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Master Fu can come to the cold house, it is really brilliant, please come in." ”
Tao Yuan had already gotten out of Fu Yinxiao's arms, looked around, and suddenly asked, "Are you the magistrate?"
I heard that there is a deputy county magistrate in Cen County, who thinks about people wholeheartedly, although he is famous, he is jealous of his boss, and later vacates his position, and he has nothing to do.
I didn't expect to see it today, and it was as rumored to be.
He said in a flat tone, "In Xia Mobai." The magistrate has been sick from hard work on weekdays, and now he is bedridden and can't see the two of them, so he asked me to do it for me. ”
Tao Yuan looked at this person carefully, although his skin was dark and his face was thin, he was indeed wearing a neatly patched official robe. He also spoke decently and calmly, never stammering.
Fu Yinxiao guessed that the magistrate should be afraid that he would come over to find guilt, so he deliberately pushed Mo Bai out, so it's okay, it's much easier to talk to an adult who thinks about the people than those who flatter and pat on the back.
Fu Yinxiao explained, "My wife and I want to come today to personally understand the situation of the people in Cen County, and try to do something to the bottom of our efforts. ”
"Thank you, my lord, for letting Liu Xiucai go that day," Mo Bai first bowed and invited people to the house, "Liu Xiucai was also forced to a dead end
, he came back and brought a lot of food, saying that it was given by the second young master of the king of Zhengbei, which saved many lives. ”
"It's a pity," Mo Bai brushed the dust off the stool with his sleeve and invited the two of them to sit down first.
Mobai's youngest daughter came over to serve tea, and then her father's words said, "That Liu Xiucai's wife still didn't save her life. ”
Tao Yuan thought that he went to the capital so desperately to ask for help, but in the end he still failed to save his wife, and couldn't help but cry out in pain "Ah"
It's not so much tea as boiled muddy water, with a layer of mud at the bottom of the cup.
Fu Yinxiao didn't know that for a place where there was a drought, it was already very good to have this muddy water. He took a sip unintentionally, choked on the strange slag in his mouth, twitched the corner of his eyes, and finally swallowed silently, put down the teacup and didn't dare to move again.
Mo Bai's face was full of sadness, "It's hard to stutter, how can you ask for a doctor"
Tao Yuan thought for a while, and asked suspiciously, "This town on the edge of the capital is not a place where there is a shortage of water, even if there is no water to irrigate the ground, there should always be drinking water."
"There is drinking water, but the dry weather and locusts have completely failed this year." Mo Bai shook his head and said, "Not only have there been countless casualties, but even the next rations have not been settled, and the lower officials are really powerless in their eyes." ”
"It is the blessing of the imperial court that the county can think about the people, natural disasters are unpredictable, we can only do our best to help the people and reduce casualties."
Fu Yinxiao turned his head to Tao Yuan and said, "I'll go out to see the situation, why don't you and your subordinates stay here in Zhixian first, there is a lot of wind and sand outside." ”
Tao Kite knew that he was worried, afraid that the appearance of those dying people would scare her. She immediately shook her head, grabbed Fu Yinxiao's wrist and said, "It's okay, I'm very bold, besides, aren't you still there?"
Fu Yinxiao took out a hat for her, and the black veil covered Tao Kite's face tightly.
When Mo Bai stood in front of him to lead the way, Tao Yuan suddenly poked Fu Yinxiao secretly, reminding him to look at the half-cut middle shirt exposed by Zhixian, and the fine silk material was even hooked with gold thread.
Fu Yinxiao raised his eyebrows slightly, faintly feeling that something was wrong.
The man's cry was heard in the distance, tearing his heart and lungs, and the people who listened to it were terrified.
