Chapter 69: The People Make Trouble

Xu Wenyang smiled: "Speaking of which, I also picked up the cheapness for nothing, he is Chen Dong who sells pork next door, you can call him Uncle Chen when you see him in the future, I used to sell meat on the street, and was bullied by a few ruffians, I asked Zhang Yue to help him, he thanked me for helping him, the Lord had to come to me to help, and I didn't lack manpower here, so I arranged for him in the kitchen." ”

Xu Jiao said: "You dare to eat the food cooked by people who don't know the details?" ”

Xu Wenyang smiled: "I'm a person who has nothing, what are I afraid of?" ”

Xu Jiao moved the dish in front of him: "Then why don't you have a master?" Xu Jiao actually wanted to ask a long time ago, don't all the county masters on TV have a master? Why does his father always only take Zhang Yue in and out, this Zhang Yue looks like a martial artist, where will he be like that?

Xu Wenyang said: "No need, I have to pay him out of my own pocket to ask a master, it's not cost-effective, besides, my father can do those things alone, I really don't need it." ”

Xu Jiao wondered: "Why? Shouldn't the master be the standard configuration of the county order? ”

Xu Wenyang smiled: "Where did you hear that?" Yes, do you remember the master that your cousin brought when he came back from Meng Gao last year, the master around the county order is not an official match, he is all raised by the county commander himself, your cousin, even your uncle helped paste the silver into it. ”

Xu Jiao nodded and said, "I see." ”

Early the next morning, when Xu Jiao got up, Xu Wenyang had already prepared porridge and side dishes.

When the father and daughter were about to finish breakfast, Zhang Yue came in: "My lord, there is someone making trouble at the north gate." ”

Xu Wenyang put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The medicine is gone, and the people at the North Gate didn't get the medicine this morning."

"How, isn't there still three days of medicine? You went shopping yesterday, didn't you? ”

Zhang Yue said: "There is a problem with the medicinal materials bought by Master Huang, there are a few things missing, and the medical officers said that they can't prepare an antidote, and the medicinal materials I bought yesterday will not be delivered until this afternoon." ”

Xu Wenyang was in a hurry, he didn't care about eating, so he walked for the sake of his body, and just took two steps, but saw Xu Jiao also running over with him, and hurriedly said: "What are you doing to make a scene?" Stay at home, it's a mess, don't follow. ”

Xu Jiao shook her head firmly: "No!" ”

"Take care of your young lady." Xu Wenyang instructed Dong'er behind her.

Xu Jiao said: "You can't look at me, if you don't take me, I'll sneak out by myself." ”

Xu Wenyang had no choice but to stop and wait for her: "Wear antibacterial clothing, wear a mask, and don't run around with me." ”

Xu Jiao nodded, and quickly prepared to go to the north gate with Xu Wenyang.

Walking out of the streets, Xu Jiao realized that the road she had taken last time had been cleared in advance, and this was the normal road she walked today!

Ragged people leaning against the walls of tree trunks were everywhere along the roadside, and the streets were almost desolate, except for the occasional man or two carrying baskets to sell dried vegetables.

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, from a distance, Xu Jiao saw a commotion under the city gate in front of him.

Xu Wenyang stretched out his hand to hold her firmly, and under the escort of several small officials led by Zhang Yue, he went around the city wall from a small path next to him.

The sharp-eyed people saw Xu Wenyang standing on the city tower and shouted: "Lord Xu, let us out, we have to go out to buy medicine." ”

Xu Wenyang raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

After a while, the noisy crowd quieted down a little, Xu Wenyang took off his mask and said loudly: "Rest assured, the medicinal materials are already on the way, and they will be delivered to you soon, please be calm, since the government has already made an antidote, how can it not provide medicine, go back and wait, I promise, the medicine will be delivered to everyone soon." ”

Xu Jiao saw that the people nodded a little loosely and retreated, and suddenly, a man in black in the crowd said loudly: "Lord Xu is lying to us, the medicinal materials before Master Huang's book are not complete at all, and the money of the yamen has also been run away by Liu County, how can there be money to buy medicine to save us now!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd began to boil again.

Xu Wenyang frowned, instantly understood, turned his head and asked Zhang Yue: "Someone has visited Huang Youcai in the past two days." ”

Zhang Yue said: "His wife sent him a food box yesterday afternoon. ”

Xu Wenyang nodded: "Yes, he is making trouble, otherwise these people would not know so clearly, so quickly send someone down to arrest the one who just took the lead in making trouble." ”

Xu Jiao grabbed a small official from behind and gave a few words, and the little official turned around and went down the city tower and ran towards the city.

The city gate downstairs was smashed by the people, Xu Wenyang asked Zhang Yue to send someone to pick up the medicinal materials, while pacifying the masses, and said dryly, but everyone did not appreciate it at all.

He squatted on the ground dejectedly and beckoned to everyone: "Wait, tell the guards of the city gate that they can't open the door no matter what." ”

The city patrol will answer the call and go down to deliver the message.

Xu Jiao put the mask back on him: "Don't say it, they can't hear it, I've already asked people to invite Rong'er and her uncle, I believe they will have a way to come." ”

Xu Wenyang looked downstairs worriedly: "They are all fools!" ”

Xu Jiao said: "At this time, I am more worried about the other city gates, since it is a ghost made by Huang Youcai, it is estimated that it is impossible to make trouble at this one city gate, this is in the morning, the people at the north gate did not get the medicine, and if the other city gates can't get the medicine at noon, they will definitely make trouble like here." ”

Xu Jiao's words reminded him, and he hurriedly stood up and instructed Zhang Yue: "Hurry up and take the brothers to a few quarantine areas to guard, and it is strictly forbidden for normal people to approach and visit." ”

Zhang Yue took the order and left.

Not long after, Huang Rong and Huang Xinglin hurriedly arrived, and when they saw Xu Wenyang, they didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "We have checked, the medicinal materials in the warehouse are indeed incomplete, and there is no way to make an antidote, Lord Xu must quickly find a way to get the medicinal materials." ”

Xu Wenyang frowned: "I'm thinking about a way, I've already sent someone to pick up the medicinal materials, but it won't be there until the afternoon at the earliest, and besides, most of the public funds of my yamen have indeed been swept away by Liu Han, and now there are only 20,000 taels of silver medicinal materials, and they can't last for two days." ”

Xu Jiao stepped forward and said: "Use the existing medicine to prepare a pair of heat clearing and detoxification, boil it out first to appease the people, and then find a way, but at present, it may take Imperial Doctor Huang to say it in order to convince the people." ”

Huang Xinglin shook his head: "I'm afraid that it can only be like this, I will help Lord Xu once, but at most, stop two meals of medicine, otherwise more medicinal materials will be consumed later, and at that time, I am afraid that Lord Xu will not be able to afford it." ”

Xu Wenyang took a deep look: "Thank you, Imperial Doctor Huang." ”

Zhang Yue's people have already detained all the troublemakers, and with the help of Huang Xinglin and Huang Rong, the masses are finally at peace.

Xu Wenyang hurried back to the county government in a hurry, and instructed everyone to set up a pot to boil the soup and medicine, stabilize the people first, and then go to the official post to see Zhao Yin.

At this time, Zhao Yin was planning how to attack Guangwu Mountain in front of the bookcase, destroy that wave of bandits, and return to Beijing as soon as possible.

I was a little surprised to see Xu Wenyang coming: "Why are you here?" ”

"The lower officials know that they shouldn't come to disturb the prince, but the situation is serious, and they have to disturb the prince."

"What's the matter? Say. ”

Xu Wenyang got straight to the point and said: "When Liu Han escaped, he took away most of the public funds of the county government, and now I have no money to buy medicinal materials." ”

Zhao Yin didn't speak for a long time after listening, and said for a long time: "This king's funds are also limited, you know that I have more people to support here than you, if this king transfers money to you, what will I use to support my people?" What's more, Liu Han has been on the run for so long, why didn't he find out in time? ”

Xu Wenyang bowed his head and said: "Huang Youcai has been dragging it before, and the lower officials thought that the public funds were safe, and they didn't think about ......it."

Zhao Yin is really a little embarrassed, he has been in Wuyuan for more than half a year, but he can't take down the bandits of Guangwu Mountain, when he left Beijing, the emperor let the treasury allocate the silver is almost exhausted, if he can't take Guangwu Mountain, and the silver is used up, he really has no face to return to Beijing at that time, I really can't afford to lose this face!

Xu Wenyang saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and knew what he was worried about, so he said: "Don't worry, if the prince helps the lower officials to survive this catastrophe this time, the lower officials will definitely help you quickly eliminate the bandits in Guangwu Mountain afterwards!" ”

Zhao Yin raised his eyes to look at him: "Where did you get your confidence?" ”

Xu Wenyang said: "The prince doesn't believe in the lower officials? ”

Xu Wenyang stared at him for a long time, then turned his head and asked Zhao An, "How much money do we have left?" ”

Zhao An said: "One hundred thousand taels." ”

Zhao Yin waved his hand: "Set aside 50,000 taels to buy medicine for Lord Xu to help the people." ”

Zhao An hesitated: "Lord Wang, we still have thousands of brothers." ”

Zhao Yin said: "It's okay, the rest is enough for everyone to spend two months." ”

Zhao An had to obey the order.

Xu Wenyang shook his head to the ground: "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”

Zhao Yin hooked the corners of his lips: "Don't thank you too early, you can bet your daughter on this king." ”

Xu Jiao, who was riding a pony from behind, heard this sentence as soon as she went upstairs, and hurriedly pushed open the door and said, "How much money to bet, I will redeem it myself." ”

Xu Wenyang hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, the prince is joking, why are you here?" ”

Xu Jiao actually always knew that there was a deal between Zhao Yin and Xu Wenyang, but what was the deal? She couldn't figure it out, the two of them were too tight to get out, so she deliberately said, "You didn't take me just to sell me for money to buy medicinal herbs to save the people?" Am I so unimportant? ”

Xu Wenyang pushed her into the room: "I don't have time to explain to you now, you will stay here when you come, and I will pick you up when I am done." After speaking, he hurriedly took the silver ticket from Zhao An and left.

Xu Jiao was depressed, she knew that she wouldn't run with her, this is good, changing from one cell head to another is really not a good thing!

Zhao Yin saw that she was unhappy, so he said: "What do you always mix with a little child?" Stay here, don't go out and get sick again, it will be even more troublesome when the time comes. ”

Xu Jiao was completely speechless, it stands to reason that in this era she is in, with her age, it is impossible to be seen as a child, but it is very strange that whether it is the Ninth Prince or Xu Wenyang, they all treat themselves as real children!
