Chapter 120: Disaster Victims Petition

When Feng Huanling and Long Yucang arrived at the Budrunk Building in Beicheng, the lunch meal was almost over, but the halls on the first and second floors were still full, and there were still many people waiting at the door. Of course, they will not go to the gate to show off, and even in the past few days, they can be invited to the distinguished guests above the third floor, and although the congratulatory gifts and other things on the front gate are at the front gate, the distinguished guests themselves enter through the side door that leads directly to the third floor.

And Feng Huanling, who was accompanying Long Yucang, was also preparing to go upstairs from this side door first, but he didn't want to be met by the big shopkeeper Xuanqu, who had just come from Nancheng to help, and personally attracted the distinguished guests.

"I didn't expect that even Lord Guozhang came to cheer, and I didn't welcome him from afar, and I hope that Lord Mo will not blame."

As the boss behind the scenes, who was already known, when he saw Xuanqu welcoming the guard Mo Aoqun, he paused to greet him.

"The princess is polite, since she learned that this non-drunk building is the princess's property, the lower officials naturally came to cheer for it. Originally, my father also wanted to come over, but recently, his old man was a little unwell, and even asked for leave from the saint in the early morning, so he was really powerless, and he couldn't say hello to the princess in person. ”

It is said that Mrs. Mo is recuperating at home because of his ** illness, and it is true that he even asked for leave in the morning, but even if he is not sick, it is unlikely that he will come to this newly opened undrunk building to cheer Princess Cheyue, Mo Aoqun said this is just polite.

However, Mo Aoqun will come, and naturally it is also arranged by Captain Mo, especially the matter of Feng Huanling and Feng Wanquan severing their relationship, although both parties are silent, but the few people who should know have still received the news, and the Mo family's willingness to intersect with Cheyue Wangfu has become a little more obvious.

The two parties were greeting each other at the door, and they were about to enter the door and go upstairs, when suddenly several people rushed in front of them, but the guards had just drawn their swords, and those people were already kneeling on the ground.

Looking closely, among these few people who were dirty and dusty, and even a little unrealistic in age, the leader was still vaguely wearing an official robe of extreme grade, and it was this person who was the first to speak in the bow.

"Zhong Zheng, the county commander of Yongan County, Pingcheng, Weichen, brought the grass people under his rule, and risked his life to meet a few adults!"

As the Qipin county order of a small frontier city, this Zhong Zheng can't recognize the identities of the few extraordinary people in front of him, but this is the capital of the Shenlong Kingdom, even if the county order in front of him is only of the same level as him, the official position must be one level higher than him, not to mention that he still has a request for others, so he can't help but bow down respectfully.

Of course, if he knew that one of the people in front of him was Mo Weiwei, who was a member of Jiuqing and was also the head of the country, and the other two were the emperor's uncle, King Cheyue and the princess, he was afraid that he would be so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly on the spot.

"What are you doing in the capital with a small Yongan County magistrate?"

Seeing that this person should not know their identity, although Mo Aoqun is a military attachΓ©, he also knows that Duzhou, which is located in northern Xinjiang, was the hardest hit by the snowstorm last year, so he did not immediately drive these people away, but patiently questioned them.

"Lord Hui, if it weren't for the last resort, Weichen wouldn't dare to go to Beijing even if he died. In fact, the people under his rule have long heard of the benevolence of the saints, and the powerful people in the capital have generously donated to disaster relief under the leadership of His Royal Highness King Cheyue and the Prime Minister, but they have not been able to wait for relief for a long time. In the past, there were at least some coarse grains that had been divided above, but in recent months, not even half a grain of rotten grain has been seen. Weichen was incompetent, and he couldn't bear to watch the people under his rule starve to death, so he had to bring a few people selected by the people to testify, and traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to sue the emperor. ”

Although Zhong Zheng did not say anything, it was obviously the inaction of the officials in charge of him that made him forced to take people to Beijing in person. Even if they know that the chances of "suing the court" are slim, it seems to them that this is the only hope.

didn't wait for the adults in front of him who didn't even dare to look at his appearance to ask again, Zhong Zheng took the initiative to explain: "Weichen doesn't know what the identities of the adults are, but I heard that there is a big restaurant here on the opening day of the banquet, and all the guests are entertained for free. Wechen and the people under his rule have not had a full meal for a long time, so they just want to come over and ask for some food. Unexpectedly, I heard that the boss behind this restaurant is extremely prominent, so many dignitaries and nobles have also come to congratulate, yesterday even the ministers and even the prime minister of Jiuqing arrived, but they all walked the door of nobles. Wechen was bold, so he wanted to come over to try his luck, and hoped that a few adults would pity the lives of the victims, and fulfill Wechen's heart to ask about the whereabouts of the disaster relief supply. ”

If he hadn't been really cornered, Zhong Zheng would never have taken the liberty of stopping a powerful person and confiding all his hardships, and he also knew that if he was unlucky, it was likely that he would be stopped by someone related to the supply of greedy ink disaster relief, but he really had no choice.

First, the words of the people who listened to him were not as commanding as the high-ranking officials he had seen in the past, and secondly, they had come to Kyoto for many days, but they had always been in a place of contempt and contempt, even if they went to Jing Zhaoyin, they were maliciously expelled, not to mention the official mansions of other Gaomen compounds, they couldn't even enter the gate at all, how could they ask to see the lord himself?

"You mean to say that someone has the audacity to covet the disaster relief provided by the Holy Lord?"

This time, the voice above Zhong Zheng's head sounded extremely cold, but it had an awe-inspiring and outstanding bearing, and the person who spoke was naturally Long Yucang.

Since the pressure of this rare noble power, Zhong Zheng did not even dare to raise his head, but only replied with more solemn reverence: "Weichen does not dare to speak falsely, but at least the people of Yong'an County have not been able to receive relief, and now I am afraid that most of them have been starved to death." In other neighboring counties, this is also reportedly the case. ”

Even if he was sure in his heart, but after all, he had no conclusive evidence, Zhong Zheng replied more cautiously, which also made Long Yucang and the others feel that this person was not as reckless as his suitable behavior.

Feng Huanling exchanged glances with Long Yucang before asking, "Even if it is difficult to see the Holy Driver with your identity, you should go to Jing Zhaoyin to appeal first." ”

Suddenly heard a woman's voice, Zhong Zheng, who had not noticed the presence of a woman in a hurry, was stunned for a while before responding: "When Weichen first arrived in Kyoto, he took people to Jingzhao Mansion, but the guards didn't even let us in at all, so they drove out the sticks, and said that if they dared to 'make trouble' again, they would break Weichen's legs." ”

After all, this is not a drunken building, not a court place, so Mo Aoqun didn't feel anything about Princess Cheyue's intervention, not to mention that she asked what he wanted to ask but didn't have time to ask. After hearing Zhong Zheng's answer, they naturally had their own plans in their hearts.

"If someone really dares to be greedy for disaster relief funds, it will be a big deal, and it is no wonder that Jingzhao Mansion does not dare to take over this matter, after all, he has been in charge of the allocation of disaster relief funds, but he is the master of the history of Su Nei." Speaking of this, Mo Aoqun couldn't help but glance at Feng Huanling again, and saw that her face had not changed in the slightest before continuing, "This matter is very important, the lower officials don't dare to make their own decisions, and ask the prince to be the master." ”

As soon as he heard the word "prince", Zhong Zheng, who always put his head on the ground, was finally so shocked that he forgot his fear for a moment and looked up at the few adults in front of him.

In front of him, in addition to the guards and entourage, in fact, only two men and one woman are the obvious masters, and the man standing in the center is dressed in a minimalist white robe, with a cold and noble temperament, like a legendary fairy. Even if Zhong Zheng has never seen the King of Cheyue himself, he has heard a lot of rumors that are known all over the world, and now since Emperor Xuan succeeded to the throne, the only one who can be respected as the "prince" in Beijing is the emperor uncle!

After the huge shock, panic, and panic, Zhong Zheng fell into an unprecedented surprise, and kept kowtowing to the ground and said, "Please ask the prince to be the master of the innocent people who have been affected by the disaster!" ”

Zhong Zheng begged like this, and the civilians who had been silent behind him also began to kowtow and plead.

They may be unfamiliar with other Kyoto magnates, but after the snow disaster, King Cheyue donated all the money to the victims, but everyone in the affected area knew about it. In addition, this imperial uncle once practiced in Yuanling Mountain, and he is a well-known "half-immortal" in the world, so these people treat him like a god.

Who would have thought that the savior who stopped the idea of making a last-ditch effort turned out to be their savior, when even the drowning people saw the last straw, they just wanted to hold on to everything.

Even in such a scene, Long Yucang still had no expression on his indifferent face, but said lightly: "This matter is a big matter, even if this king wants to take care of it, but since this disaster relief fund is related to the Feng family, this king still has to avoid suspicion after all." Therefore, I am afraid that I can only bother Lord Mo to be the master of these poor victims, and I think that with the integrity of Captain Mo, he will definitely not let go of the opportunity to catch such a bold moth for the imperial court. ”

Although Mo Aoqun was not more scheming than his father, he immediately understood the relationship after a little mention by Long Yucang, and immediately said with great righteousness: "Okay, the next official will live up to the prince's expectations, and he will definitely make this matter clear to his father as soon as possible!" ”

Feng Huanling didn't seem to care about how they would deal with the reaction of the victims, but asked how to settle these representatives of the victims who had traveled all the way to Beijing to petition in a careful and kind manner, but with a woman's unique attentive and kind attitude.

"It seems that they have suffered a lot, both on the road and after entering Dragon City. In the future, it is inevitable that they will have to come forward as a witness to prove what the situation is on the other side of the city, and if they continue to ignore them in the city, they are afraid that the failure to implement the disaster relief supply will bring them more danger and trouble. ”

Although this is said in a vague manner, not to mention that people like Mo Aoqun who have been in the officialdom for a long time, even Zhong Zheng and others who are kneeling on the ground can understand that if the disaster relief money is found to be true, they will undoubtedly become a thorn in the side of a certain force that is hated to the bone. If you continue to stay outside unattended, even if you don't starve to death because you are penniless, you will be killed sooner or later!

In the end, Mo Aoqun said that he would place Zhong Zheng and the others in a good place, and he would never give people a chance to kill them.
