Chapter 68: The results of the competition
"This ......" Master disagrees a little, the people are innocent, Lord An thinks about the people like this, Lord Liu not only does not support it, but also sabotages behind his back, is it a bit too much, if the court knows, I am afraid that the Lord will ......
"What are you still doing in a daze, why, can't you understand the meaning of this official's words?" Lord Liu turned his head and glared at him, and the master hurriedly shook his head, "My subordinates will do it." He turned and walked out of the yard. Seeing her leave, Lord Liu's face gradually improved. Seeing that it was getting dark, he turned around and went to the concubine's room.
I've been busy with work for the past two days, and if I think about it, I haven't been entangled with my concubine for a long time, and it's rare to be in a good mood today, so I must enjoy it tonight.
On the other side, An Mingchen returned to the post station and went directly to the study, and when the guard saw this, he persuaded, "My lord, the hour is not early, you haven't rested well in the past two days, so rest early today." ”
"No, the official is not tired. Today, I finally raised money, and the official was worried about what would happen, and he was really not at ease if he didn't get things done. ”
"The money is already in our hands, what else can those people do?" The guards were puzzled. An Mingchen smiled silently. "You go down first, there is something that the official will teach you."
"Yes" After the guards left, An Mingchen counted the nearby victims, and deliberately picked up some serious places to draw, planning to take the food tomorrow and distribute it to these places first, and before he knew it, it was already time, and after finishing these, he got up and went back to the room.
On the second day, An Mingchen got up early and sent people to negotiate with Mi Xing on the street in the hope of getting a reasonable price, but the people sent came back soon after, and An Mingchen saw that they returned empty-handed, and a bad thought rose in his heart, "Is it that Mi Xing doesn't buy you grain?" ”
"How do you know?" The guard looked surprised, and suddenly thought of what the adults said last night, didn't the adults guess it early in the morning? The guard looked impressed when he thought of this, "My lord, what should we do next, just now my subordinates led people to walk through all the rice shops on the street, but none of them were willing to sell them to us." ”
"Did you say who sent you?" An Mingchen frowned slightly, it was he who underestimated this Lord Liu, but he didn't expect him to be so bold, so blatantly against the imperial court, regardless of the lives of the people, it was simply hateful.
"Having said that, they originally wanted to sell it to their subordinates, but when they heard that we were your people, they immediately changed their minds." The guards looked embarrassed. An Mingchen sneered and stood up, "Let's go, go to the prefect's yamen with this official." ”
The guard was puzzled, but he still followed him, when An Mingchen arrived, Lord Liu was having dinner, and when he heard him coming, he didn't raise his eyelids, "Let him wait, the official will naturally go to see him after eating." ”
"But my lord, Lord An's face doesn't look very good......"
"Hmph, does his face have anything to do with the official, this is Jiangnan, it's the official's territory, what's the matter, is the official still afraid of him as a foreign official who has no connections?"
The housekeeper wanted to say something, but when he saw that the adult opened his mouth with an impatient face, he swallowed the words again. Seeing that his ears were clear, Lord Liu hugged his concubine and began to eat, but he had just taken a bite of food, and before he could eat it, he saw An Mingchen walk in.
"Lord Liu is really good Yaxing, I just don't know if the emperor will be as big as Lord Liu when he knows about this?" An Mingchen stepped forward and sat down directly, glanced at the food on the table, and his face sank a little more, "The people outside the city are hungry, Lord Liu has prepared such a sumptuous breakfast when he goes, when did the court have so many Yulu, why doesn't the official know?" ”
"Lord An, don't go too far, the official didn't care about you about yesterday's incident, but you ran to the official's mansion early in the morning to point fingers, yin and yang, even if you go to the emperor, the official will have to participate in you." Lord Liu's good mood was ruined by him like this, put down his chopsticks, and glared at him, "Lord An has something to say directly, why bother talking so coldly." ”
"Don't you know what Lord Liu did? The reason why the official didn't break it was to give you face, and since Lord Liu insisted on pretending to be crazy and stupid, the official couldn't care about anything else. An Mingche took out the holy decree and put it directly on the table, and Lord Liu immediately changed his face when he saw this, "What are you doing?" ”
"Originally, the official felt that everyone was being an official in the court, and some things didn't have to be done too deliberately. But Lord Liu doesn't seem to understand people's words, since this is the case, the official can only spread out the matter and talk to the adults little by little. An Mingchen opened the holy decree and pushed it directly to him, "This is the emperor's holy decree, the official went to Jiangnan to assist Lord Liu in controlling the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and the holy decree also said that if anyone dares to delay the disaster in any name and cause the people to suffer, the official can be decided." ”
"You...... You threaten the officer? "Lord Liu, this will really panic. Although he didn't know An Mingchen, he could see that he was really angry today. If he said something to irritate him, she would have actually cut her.
"Yes, it's you who threaten you." An Mingchen directly admitted, "When you played tricks with the official again and again, made it bad, and tried your best to prevent the official from doing things for the people, the official didn't want to tolerate you anymore, but you still have to hit the official's anger, and now you are even the rice store of the United Prefecture to prevent the official from buying food for the people, you are really bold." Do you know what will happen to you if too many people in Jiangnan die? ”
"This official, this museum didn't think about it so much, and this official doesn't know what you're talking about?" Liu Daren knew that as long as he didn't admit it, he still had a glimmer of life, otherwise, he would really die. An Mingchen didn't want to have anything to do with him here, "This official doesn't care who you are, and no matter who you are instructed to do, as long as you do one more thing that endangers the people, this official will immediately arrest you and put you in prison, and this official said to do it." ”
After An Mingche threatened Lord Liu, he said in a cold voice, "What, why don't you hurry up and inform Mi Xing, and send the grain to the nearby village and wait for the official to arrest you and put you in prison?" ”
"No, the lower officials will do it, and they will do it." Lord Liu saw An Mingchen's power, and his heart began to waver. Perhaps, the prince just said that she should destroy his plan, and he has done it, but he is not his opponent, and he can't help it, if the prince blames him, he can only tell the truth, after all, being punished is nothing compared to his life.
Seeing that he was finally honest, An Mingchen turned around and left the yamen with the holy decree, and on the way back, the guard looked impressed, "My lord really thinks about it, I believe that Lord Liu will not be bad after this time." ”
"Lord Liu is a smart person, even if he wants to talk to the people behind him, he will think about his own interests first. So, if this official is not mistaken, he will not do it against us again, at least not on the surface. ”
In the afternoon of the same day, An Mingchen personally escorted the grain to a nearby village, and the people saw that the grain was like a long drought and a rainstorm, and the dead face finally showed a trace of expression, An Mingchen looked at them, and felt very uncomfortable. The monks have more meat and less meat, and these grains only temporarily alleviate their food and clothing, and if they want to have food every day in the future, I am afraid it will take a while.
After the floods passed, the people had begun to clean up the fields and prepare for planting, but the families did not even have food to eat, and the seeds they brought in. After An Mingchen found out, he thought about it again and again and wrote a letter to Huangfu Xue.
After receiving the letter and learning about the situation in Jiangnan, Huangfuxue decided to transfer grain from Huangfu's rice shop to help the people of Jiangnan in the past without thinking about it.
After Huang Fuyue heard the news, she rushed to Mi Xing angrily. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Huangfu Xue directing the little servants to carry the grain, rushed forward and blocked them, "What are you doing here, second, don't forget that we are still competing, you are so privately transporting grain from the rice store, but it will affect the results of my competition." ”
"Eldest sister has not forgotten anything, the competition ended yesterday. Just wait for Daddy to come back, and we'll announce the results. After Huang Fuxue finished speaking, he continued to command the big guy to carry the grain. Seeing this, Huangfu Yue was still unhappy, "Even so, the shop belongs to Huangfu's family, you transfer food without your father's consent, can you put your father in your eyes?" ”
"I've already told my dad about this, and I did it after my dad agreed. Don't worry about the eldest sister, if the eldest sister is okay, go back and settle the account, I seem to have heard that the third sister has made more money than you these days, no surprise, you are afraid that you will be the last in this competition. In this way, I am afraid that your purpose will be frustrated. ”
"You...... Where are you gloating, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You want to hit me on purpose, I tell you, no way. Huangfu Yue left Mi Xing angrily. Seeing this, Xiaodong was a little worried, "Miss, aren't you afraid that she will go back to sue you if you say that?" ”
"Dad is a person who knows right from wrong, and he won't change his position because of the eldest sister's words." Huangfu Xue smiled, "Okay, hurry up and get the food ready, and then everyone will take a rest." ”
In the evening, Huangfu Zhengxiong came back, and after dinner, the three sisters went to the study together, as Huangfu Xue expected, Huangfu Yue was at the bottom, and Huangfu Yun was second. And she doesn't have to guess to know that it's the first. It's not that she's confident, if she had been in the past, she might have to think about it, but the business of shaved ice is really good during this time. So he is naturally full of confidence.
Huang Fuyue looked incredulous, even if she lost to the second child, she didn't even compare with the third child. A face of unwillingness. It was the third child, who looked at the accounts of the second sister and knew that it was not his opponent, so he stood aside and kept silent.
"Alright, the winner has been decided, what else do you have to say."
