Chapter 406: Famine

"Ye Darttou, please come over and talk to Lord Zhan."

Bai Yutang also looked over, and saw an ordinary-looking, short-dressed man on the table next to him get up and salute Zhanzhao with a fist: "In Xia Yeping, I've seen Nanxia." ”

He knew this person, he was a lay disciple of Shaolin, and he was the dart master of Yunwei Dart Bureau.

Don't look at the name of Yunwei Dart Bureau, but it can be regarded as one of the best dart games in the Great Song Dynasty, Ye Ping, as the dart master of Yunwei Dart Bureau, has been walking the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, has a loose temperament, is quite famous on the green forest road, and is backed by Shaolin, it is very famous, even if the martial arts are not first-class, going out to dart has always been invincible.

Bai Yutang's eldest brother Lu Fang, who used to transport goods north and south, loved to find the Yunwei Dart Bureau to be responsible for escorting the darts, and he has rarely made mistakes, but occasionally made mistakes, and he could find the darts back within three or five days, after all, there are not many green forest heroes in the world who dare to fight their idea of trapping the empty island.

"Recently, there has been a great drought in Chenzhou, and the famine has been in place for many years, and my dart bureau has been ordered by the county lord to receive His Majesty's secret decree, and raised 200,000 taels of silver from Jingdong and Hebei, 100,000 taels to help the imperial court for disaster relief, and another 100,000 taels to be lent to General Yang for emergency relief...... Lord Zhan, my batch of darts and silver is really important, it is the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang, and our Majesty tightened his belt and saved it, if it really can't be found like this, there is no need for the county lord to chop off my head, Ye Ping himself has no face to eat this bite of food on the rivers and lakes. ”

Zhan Zhao was shocked: "Another 200,000 taels? ”

Your Majesty also knows?

You must know that His Majesty has always been frugal, and in the past, even if he wanted to eat an extra bowl of chicken soup at night, he would weigh it again and again, but now he has lost 400,000 taels of silver in one go......

Zhan Zhao instantly felt that if he didn't handle this case well, if the silver couldn't be recovered, everyone in Kaifeng Mansion, including Lord Bao, might not be able to stop His Majesty's anger.

"Don't worry, I've asked my friends on the rivers and lakes to investigate this matter, such a large sum of silver, it is impossible to disappear like this."

It just so happened that the shopkeeper served the wine and food again, and replaced the plate with only fish bones left.

Fang Ruohua casually beckoned Zhanzhao to sit down, "Eat first, the emperor can't send hungry soldiers, if he doesn't eat and drink, how can he have the strength to work." ”

The group sat down to eat.

When the meal was approaching, there were more guests in the restaurant all of a sudden, either in brocade clothes or coarse cloth clothes, noisy and noisy.

"Have you heard, Anle Hou Pang Yu was ordered to release grain in Chenzhou, what kind of person is that, Pang Taishi's beloved son, the capital has a famous gentleman, I heard that when he was in Chenzhou, he forcibly conscripted people's husbands, withheld disaster relief money, built what Ruan Hongtang, and forcibly pulled people's daughters for him to be prostituted and happy, which made the people complain, saying that he did not go to Chenzhou, and the people still had a way to live, as soon as he came to Chenzhou, the people were simply worse than dead!"

"Really?"

"The news from Chenzhou can still be fake?"

Zhan Zhao frowned, and unconsciously turned his head to look at the county lord beside him.

Fang Ruohua didn't even pause with chopsticks, ate half a bowl of rice, took out a handkerchief and pursed the corners of his lips: "I see that Master Zhan estimates that he has to go to Chenzhou to see this An Lehou who has lost his heart and gone crazy, scavenged the people's fat and people's ointment, and has done all kinds of evil, and he still has official business to be busy with, so he will leave." ”

After saying that, he poked the person next to her, got up and left.

The immortal first-class elegant man finally swept the entire table, and there was not even half a vegetable leaf left.

Zhanzhao: "......"

Fang Ruohua was obviously a little speechless: "Hu Su, I want some face in front of Ye Dart, as if I always make you hungry." ”

Chenzhou

Sure enough, the depression is terrible.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyes and looked around, the faces of the pedestrians on the street were like withered, skinny as wood, and his movements were slow, and before entering the city just now, he also looked at the fields around him, cracked and cracked, as hideous as the mouth of a beast devouring human life.

The porridge shed built by the imperial court is full of soup and water, and there are not a few rice grains left, and there are some dried vegetables, dried sweet potatoes, and some dried sweet potatoes in the basin on the side.

Sheds were erected on the side of the road, covered with thick thatch, and the things that were about to come might be able to withstand some wind and snow.

Zhan Zhao's eyebrows a Sichuan character pattern, since he arrived in Chenzhou, he has not disappeared for a moment, he has already found out, a month ago His Majesty received the excerpt of Chenzhou Taishou, and sent An Le Hou Pang Yu to Chenzhou to give relief, and now a month has passed, Chenzhou is still like this......

"His grandmother's, what kind of bullshit is this, and it is soup and water, brothers, since that Qincha, what kind of marquis of the imperial court came to our Chenzhou, he got these grass roots for us as if he was fooling, is this the rice that the emperor Lao'er and his son are doing? His emperor doesn't treat us as human beings! If this continues, Lao Tzu's mother and youngest son will starve to death, and the brothers will not copy the guys, rush into the official mansion for me, and grab food! ”

Zhan Zhao was shocked, and just as he was about to get up to stop it, he saw a man in black pop out a stone.

The big man didn't say a word, fell to the ground with a bang and passed out, and a team of officers and soldiers instantly appeared and dragged people away.

The other victims who had made a disturbance were also suppressed by the bullets and honestly retreated to the side.

Zhan Zhao endured it, and saw that those officers and soldiers did not hurt people in a big way, but after all, he still held back and did not make a move.

At present, it is indeed the best way to deal with it like an official errand, and we can't let the victims make trouble, if it really alarms the people, it will inevitably be bloody, and people will be everywhere.

Bypassing the hungry people, Zhanzhao inquired about An Lehou who was currently in the post house, and when he looked closer, he couldn't help frowning.

An Lehou has a lot of momentum, there are elite soldiers inside and outside the entire post house, several of them seem to be full of energy, obviously they are masters, that is, the people who guard the door, the clothes seem ordinary, but if you look closely, your temples are bulging high, and you are obviously a foreign master.

Zhan Zhaofei went up to the tree, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that there were only a few lights on in the post house, and occasionally there was the sound of silk and bamboo, which was quite moving, and there were a few women with beautiful makeup laughing and scolding.

Just wanted to throw stones to ask for directions, went in to take a look, and saw a white shadow passing by, Zhan Zhao was shocked, chased after him, and instantly approached the shoulder of the man in white.

Bai Yutang: "Yo, don't run away this time?" ”

Zhan Zhao couldn't cry or laugh: "Brother Bai will be a night detective, I don't ask you to wear night clothes, after all, it is conspicuous, so I can change your clothes, Bai Cheng is like this, isn't it a live target?" ”

"Heh, when I'm afraid of these wine bags and rice bags."

Having said that, Bai Yutang actually regretted it a little, but he didn't expect that there were indeed many masters in this broken place, and he frowned for a while and said, "I saw the three poisons of the Yellow River just now, when did they take refuge in the government?" Now he has become an Anlehou? ”
