The wind was strong, and it blew loudly.

They stood in this corner to avoid the wind, and drank a jar of wine, but they did not feel cold.

Jiang Muyuan couldn't help but think of the past.

He drank with Gu Yunqi a lot at that time, less when he drank, and more when he drank wildly, once Gu Yunjin was mentioned, Gu Yunqi almost always ended up drunk.

Now that a lifetime has passed, there is still an older brother next to him, who is borrowing wine for his sister to drown his sorrows.

"It's still too late," Jiang Muyuan said, "It's too late to be there." ”

is better than Gu Yunqi at that time, Gu Yunqi is drunk, and Gu Yunjin can't come back.

Of course, Duan Baoqi would not know where Jiang Muyuan went by analogy, but he also agreed with the other party's words.

When people are there, it's too late.

He had to make it all in time.

Such a jar of wine is still far from being drunk, and it doesn't even delay doing things in the afternoon.

Shocking rain came all the way, saying that he had received the latest news in front of him.

Jiang Muyuan rushed to the mansion and communicated with Su Ningbo.

Qiao Jing left in a hurry, and the people who were locked up in the prison of Baoning Mansion were persuaded not to kill, and naturally he didn't care about the surrounding counties.

The imperial court took back the two prefectures of Baoning and Shunqing, and in addition to arranging troops to deal with Qiao Jing, it also took out manpower to go to various prisons to release the imprisoned former officials and captured soldiers.

These days are too chaotic, people are panicking, Qiao Jing took away almost all the grain, and the little officials can't even get the monthly salary, let alone the grain.

They are struggling to make ends meet, and where can they take care of the prisoners in prison.

It's a spoiled meal, and I can't see it in prison.

The soldiers of the imperial court went to save people, and almost half of them were carried out of the prison, either they were out of breath, or they only had their last breath left, and the other half were in good health and young, and both feet were still outside the ghost gate.

Chu Yun is the lucky half.

There were no injuries on his body, and in the end he held on, and he was so hungry that he lost his appearance, but he didn't completely collapse.

When Su Ningbo arranged for the rescue, he specially named Chu Yun, and the others had to name and identify people to determine their original identity, he was a special case, and he was taken care of by the doctor as soon as he got out of prison.

When the news came back, Su Ningbo was also a lot more relieved.

Jiang Muyuan communicated with Su Ningbo on the map.

These scholars in Shu have worked hard for so many years, and they have accumulated a lot of money and food in their hands, and they still supported Qiao Jing on a quarterly basis before, but this time Wang Lang was coaxing and cheating, but everyone who was determined to rebel with Qiao Jing spit out a real amount.

These things will be delivered to Qiao Jing in batches before the year.

"Wait a little longer," Jiang Muyuan said in a deep voice, "Halfway through, if one place is broken, it is also a startling snake, and most of them are in the granary, and they will be solved at one time, and Qiao Jing will not be given a way out." ”

Su Ningbo also supported Jiang Muyuan's idea, but he was also worried: "Qiao Jing has retreated a lot, grain and grass are his lifeblood, and the place he chooses to store grain will definitely be in the rear, and we may not be able to reach it by surprise attack." ”

"I'm sure," Jiang Muyuan said, "There are only a few points that he can store a large amount of grain, and the rest of the place can't fit it." ”

The granary is not so easy to build, the large granary occupies a large area, the humidity of Shu is heavy, and the site selection is quite particular.

Forcing the grain out of the hands of the scholars is a strategy formulated by Wang Lang not long ago, and it is also in line with Qiao Jing's thoughts.

was previously persecuted by the Lu family with Lu Chang's body, Qiao Jing no longer wanted to be restrained by that, so he would naturally accept Wang Lang's suggestion and take the initiative in his own hands.

But for a while, it was impossible to build a new granary, so the old one could only be used.

The location of the old granary can be determined.

Of course, there are those in the rear, but there are also those that are a little closer to Shunqing, it depends on how Wang Lang convinces Qiao Jing not to transport the grain to the rear.

Jiang Muyuan turned his head, looked at the gloomy sky outside, and said: "The worse the weather, the better, the road is difficult, it is inevitable that the supply of grain and grass in front of you will not be available, so Qiao Jing will not insist on putting the grain in the south." ”

The fog began at dawn the next day, and it did not disperse until noon, and in the afternoon it fell with winter rain, and the vision was poor, and it was difficult to walk.

Su Ningbo sent troops, continued to exert pressure to the south, and fought with Qiao Jing's troops, and he didn't take advantage of it, but he didn't lose either.

Only this step-by-step approaching posture made Qiao Jing angry and scolded.

It was another snow in the capital, and the snow in front of it had not melted away, and new ones were added, repeating the approaching of the new year.

There are many events this year, and the day of the Yamen seal has also been postponed, and it is set on the 27th day of the lunar month.

It is said that Sun Rui, who was grounded, would be lifted from the ban a few years ago, but the results of the investigation in Mingzhou were very unsatisfactory, and the saint was so angry that he never let go.

The officials who went to Mingzhou to investigate the case of the Metropolitan Procuratorate could not find Zhao Fangshi at all, and the petty officials who were arrested put all the charges on Zhao Tongzhi in order to alleviate their own crimes.

In addition, the minds of the whole people in Mingzhou are in Dongyi, how can this case be handled smoothly.

The prefect of Mingzhou had to be pulled by the garrison for defense on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to deal with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the most headache was that after checking and checking, the Metropolitan Procuratorate also checked whether the Jiangnan officialdom was overly mixed with coastal defense matters, and it looked uncomfortable if he didn't peel off the skin and tendons of Jiangnan.

In this way, the progress is naturally not fast, and the news sent to Beijing is also the bad things that have been pushed up and down to Zhao Fangshi's head.

Sun Rui is still grounded, and Concubine Yu is anxious, so she can only persuade herself, at the latest on Chinese New Year's Eve, she won't even call their mother and son for a reunion dinner, right?

In the end, Sun Rui was summoned out of the palace by the saint the day after the Yamen was sealed and entered the imperial study.

Since the day he closed his door and thought about it, the saint had not seen Sun Rui, and at this time, he only felt that he had lost a lot of weight and his cheeks were thin.

The saint asked Sun Rui to sit down, and let Gonggong Han serve hot tea, and looked at the other party's tightly wrapped but not bloated figure at all, he sighed: "I can't lose weight anymore!" If you are afraid of the cold, how can you not be afraid of the cold? ”

Sun Rui lowered his eyes and looked very deferential.

The saint slowed down his tone and said, "Zhao Fangshi is such a big fork, and you admit to knowing, I won't punish you, and I can't explain anywhere."

You have been transparent since you were a child, you should know that this grounding is inevitable, and these days are enough for you to figure it out, right? ”

Sun Rui replied lightly or seriously.

Shengshang said again: "Zhao Fangshi's whereabouts are unknown, and the case is broken to him."

You don't have to worry about that life lawsuit, the Metropolitan Procuratorate can handle it, but it can't handle it.

You take your heart, and when the seal is opened, you will return to the Wenying Palace.

You haven't taken care of the court for some time, and you can take a look at the folds piled up in the imperial study and understand them.

I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest for a while. ”

Sun Rui hurriedly got up, looked at the figure of the saint leaving, respectfully, and recited "Congratulations to the emperor", and he bent down and looked directly at the ground, his eyes were full of coldness.
