Chapter VIII Ways of Disaster Relief

Qingcheng Mansion, as Zhao Qi said, is a rich and peaceful place.

The prefect received the news in advance and had been sending people to guard the city gate, so as soon as Shen Lingjun and the others entered the city gate, the prefect brought a large group of squires to greet them.

Zhao Qi urged the black horse to step forward, looking at this large group of people condescendingly, the corners of his mouth cracked, and his smile was unfathomable.

The prefect and everyone were confused by this joke at the same time, but they always felt a little infiltrating.

Shen Lingjun jumped down from his horse, his black and white eyes smiling: "Yu Governor's Mansion." ”

Yu Zhifu touched his heart, this is the world-famous Dali Temple, what a young girl, beautiful and smiling.

Other squires came together, in addition to showing the solemnity of the Qingcheng Mansion, in order to pay homage to the legendary General Zhao, who was as fierce as Zhong Kui, and Dali Siqing, whose reputation has become more and more famous in the past two years, and I heard that he is the emperor's favorite minister.

At this sight, I first thought that General Zhao was not as terrible as the legend said, although he was tall, he was not as strong as the three of them, not to mention Zhong Kui's appearance, he was a very handsome man.

Later, he said in his heart: Dali Siqing is really a young and beautiful woman, especially this smile, when she laughs in people's hearts, she feels so sincere, and inexplicably gives people a sense of cordiality.

They looked at each other at the same time, isn't that fake?

Seeing that she had finally slept enough along the way, she lifted the curtain and looked at it, shook her head and said, "I'm lying again." ”

Ye Qingzhi held the scroll and smiled lightly, sympathizing for the prefects and squires of Qingcheng Mansion for a quarter of an hour.

Because they were in a hurry, they only stayed in Qingcheng Mansion for one day, and they were going to leave at dawn tomorrow, so Zhao Qi did not waste time and used the simplest and most effective trick.

When the prefect said that he had prepared a reception banquet for General Zhao and Lord Siqing, Zhao Qi waved his hand and said in a calm and powerful tone: "Today, General Ben is in for a treat." ”

The prefect and the squires were shocked again, and couldn't help but say in their hearts, this general is courageous.

When they remembered their mood at this time afterwards, they all stomped their feet, naΓ―ve, too naΓ―ve, how could the food in this world be given for nothing!

When he arrived at the Qingcheng Mansion Post House, Zhao Qi glanced at Shi Yu.

Shi Yu and Xiao Shuang have followed Zhao Qi for many years, and with a glance, they knew that he was letting him take Ye Qingzhi and the others to the back to eat and rest first.

Therefore, except for Shen Lingjun and Zhao Qi, the others took their bags and walked to the backyard.

In the end, after driving for many days, they were a little tired, so they had a hasty meal and went to rest.

In the hall of the post house, Zhao Qi took the lead in striding in, and then Shen Lingjun walked in slowly with a smile.

The prefect and the squires also stepped inside with smiling faces, and waited for Zhao Qi to signal before they sat down one by one.

Zhao Qi sat on the top seat, waved his big hand, and said in a lazy tone: "Los Angeles, close the door." ”

The door to the hall was closed, and the hall was instantly darkened.

The prefect and the other squires moved from the stools that were not yet hot, and their expressions were a little puzzled. Didn't you mean eating?

"There's no rush to eat." Zhao Qi took a sip of the tea bowl, then his gaze slowly swept over everyone, and said, "Everyone knows about the flood in Jinyuan Mansion, right?" ”

Shen Lingjun sat next to him, only smiling and not saying anything, his black eyes were shining, full of fun and fun.

The prefect stood up and sighed: "Great disaster, Xiaguan heard that this flood is rare in a hundred years, and the loss of Jinyuan Mansion is not small. As he spoke, he straightened his expression and said with a rigorous face: "Therefore, Xiaguan organized manpower and material resources to go to the disaster relief at the first time, although it was a modest effort, I only hope that Jinyuan Mansion will overcome this disaster and recover as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Qi played with the tea lid placed on the table and smiled elusively.

Shen Lingjun opened his mouth and said, "Prefect Yu has a heart." ”

"Although the lower official is the magistrate of Qingcheng Prefecture, the lower official regards the people of the world as a family, and the Jinyuan Mansion is in trouble, how can the lower official sit idly by." When the prefect heard the praise, the more he talked, the more energetic he became.

Zhao Qi slapped the table with his palm: "The people of the world are one family, and the prefect Yu said it well." ”

In the face of the prefect, he is even more proud, he has always been very good at figuring out the thoughts of the superiors, which is also one of the reasons why he is so smooth sailing in Qingcheng Mansion.

Shen Lingjun smiled meaningfully, I heard that in terms of being an official, Yu Xing of Qingcheng Mansion is countless times stronger than Ji Xingbang of Jinyuan Mansion who is inflexible and upright and easy to offend people.

"Since it's all family." Shen Lingjun's pure black eyes moved, and his smile was clean and sincere: "Of course you can't sit idly by?" ”

Although it is a question, it is said in a declarative tone. The young woman's voice was clear and smiling, but it also implied a majesty.

Yu Zhifu clenched his fists and reminded euphemistically: "Lord Siqing, the lower official has already sent someone to bring supplies to Jinyuan Mansion." ”

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows: "That's enough?" "Lazy tune-up, but full of deterrence.

Yu Zhifu was stunned, what do you mean by this?

Zhao Qi clasped his arms with both hands, leaned back, his black eyes were like essence, swept over everyone's faces, and then said in an unquestionable tone: "There are just a lot of people, let's discuss a disaster relief countermeasure together, think about it, and go to dinner." ”

A low commotion sounded among the squires, and everyone looked at each other, not daring to ask a word, but it was hidden in everyone's hearts.

Didn't think about it, so you didn't eat?

However, after Zhao Qi said this, he closed his eyes and closed his eyes to recuperate.

As for Shen Lingjun, she stood up from the chair lightly and dexterously, and said with a smile: "Yu Governor, you take everyone to think about it and think about it clearly." ”

Someone stood up and saluted to the end: "General Zhao, Lord Siqing, the grass people feel that it is important to collect the victims first for today's plan. ”

"Yes, the grass people have a group of workers who can help repair the houses."

There is also humanity: "The grass people can let the people in the house build pergolas and give porridge to the victims." ”

……

A whole bunch of all sorts of things have been said.

Zhao Qi's eyelids twitched, and he was a little impatient: "I thought about it." ”

These words are not heavy, but they are not light, like a stone hammering directly into the hearts of everyone.

Everyone chuckled and looked at the prefect together.

Yu Zhifu received all kinds of looks, and the words rolled in his throat, and finally stood up and said loudly: "I don't know what General Zhao and Lord Siqing mean?" ”

Zhao Qi clasped the table with his knuckles with his backhand: "I know I still need to ask, didn't I come to you to discuss countermeasures?" ”

On weekdays, it's okay for Zhao Qi to be very arrogant, especially when Ye Qingzhi is here, the whole person is not stingy and does not have half of the general's prestige. But sometimes when he casually posed, the momentum came, and a strong and compelling deterrent force naturally leaked from his body.

Shen Lingjun smiled and kindly reminded: "Your brain should be active, don't always stare at one point, think about other places." ”

Thinking about it like this, an hour has passed, and hundreds of methods have been said, and Zhao Qi didn't bother to open his eyelids this time.

In the past two hours, everyone's chests were already hungry and their backs were sticking to their backs, and they had gone out early in the morning to follow Yu Zhifu and others, but they didn't eat much breakfast.

What's more, they are pampered and pampered on weekdays, not to mention the exquisite meals, they are snacks and health soups, and they have to eat several times a day.

When the sun went down in the west, the light in the hall suddenly dimmed.

The squires couldn't sit still, and their faces were agitated. Once a person has been trapped for a long time, he will instinctively reject it, his heart will be dull and uncomfortable, and there will be a kind of depression that he can't breathe.

However, Zhao Qi didn't speak, and no one dared to move.

And they knew in their hearts that the door looked like it was going to be opened, and they didn't even think about it.

Several people exchanged messages face-to-face and silently again, and it was impossible for Zhao Qi and Shen Ling to have nothing to do when they were full, so they locked a group of them together and didn't even give them food.

Of course, the two of them just made an excuse to take turns going out once. Everyone didn't dare to say it, but when they looked at the expression on their faces when they came in, they had just eaten enough.

The squires are bitter.

Shen Lingjun picked up the tea and blew it, chuckling: "I haven't figured it out yet." "Pretend, see how long you pretend.

Suddenly, the smell of food came from outside the door, and the fragrance could hook out the cravings in the stomachs of all the people who smelled it.

The squires couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and their minds were floating with roast chicken, roast duck, and suckling pig......

Shen Lingjun sighed softly and leisurely, his fingers tapped on the armrest of the seat, and his dark eyes smiled: "The food is going to be cold." ”

"General Zhao, Lord Siqing." A person stood up and said with a bitter face: "Zeng really has no other way but to donate 10,000 taels of silver and talk about his heart." ”

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows: "Ten thousand taels? Think again. ”

The outsider surnamed Zeng gritted his teeth: "Twenty thousand taels." "My heart hurts, and the silver is flying.

But Zhao Qi drank tea and water, and didn't even look at it, as if he didn't hear it.

Everyone understands, it's too little!

Zeng Yuanwai was ruthless, and then spoke: "Fifty thousand taels." ”

Zhao Qi was happy: "Is General Ben playing a number game with you or bidding for antiques?" ”

In the end, Zeng Yuanwai finally let go: "One hundred thousand taels!" He cried with a sad face: "It really can't be more, that's all there is to Zeng's family." ”

Of course, Zhao Qi knew that this was an exaggeration, and at most he had scraped a layer of grease.

However, he was also satisfied, took a sip of tea, and waved his hand: "General Ben thinks this method is good, and sends Zeng Yuanwai to eat." ”

Los Angeles took Zeng Yuan out of the door, and Zeng Yuan saw the light of day outside, and took two breaths of fresh air first.

"Except for the staff, please go to the back hall for dinner." Los Angeles gestured and spoke politely. After all, this person who had just been slaughtered a lot of money, he sympathized for a while.

And when Zeng Yuanwai thought of this meal of 100,000 taels, where could he still eat it, his face was wrinkled and he could kill mosquitoes: "Don't work for this lord, the grass people will come back to the house to get two taels of silver." ”

Luo Cheng looked at Zeng Yuanwai, who was over half a hundred years old, walking like flying, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

During the play, he squatted on the roof and held his face and said, "It seems that I was frightened by the general." ”

When the others saw this, they all knew it, and said that they were trying to find a way, but in fact, they were changing the money of Farr!

But this is a blatant fraud, what can they do? Give it!

So, one by one, they stepped forward, with a thick family of more than 100,000 taels, and a thin family of at least 50,000 taels.

Compared to when I was so high-spirited, when I went out, I was like an eggplant beaten by frost in autumn.

In the end, only the prefect remained, and he touched the sweat on his forehead: "This ...... Although Xia Guan has been an official for many years, he does not have much savings. "Even if you have it, you have to say no, what is it that is not a corrupt official who casually takes out tens of thousands of taels?

Shen Lingjun said with a smile: "Yu Zhifu is a Qing official, this official knows, it's better to be like this, you personally take people to Jinyuan Mansion to help with disaster relief." ”

"Yes, it was the official who was careless before, and the official will leave tomorrow." Yu nodded again and again, and withdrew back.

Zhao Qimo rubbed his chin and looked at Shen Lingjun's eyes very smugly.

Shen Lingjun did not hesitate to give a thumbs up: "Brother Zhao is resourceful, cunning, and scheming......"

Zhao Qi twitched the corner of his mouth, is this a compliment?
