Chapter 172 Although Nine Deaths Are Not Regretted
"Ahem, ahem!"
Cheng Yanluo choked.
She couldn't stop coughing, and her eyes were red when she coughed.
Qin Yi hurriedly helped her serve tea and pour water, and gently patted her back: "What's wrong?" Is it better? ”
Cheng Yanluo coughed for a long time before she got better, she took the water and took a sip, then glared at Qin Yi: "Don't say these shocking thoughts again when you eat in the future." ”
"How?" Qin Yi wanted to ask him if there was anything wrong with his thoughts.
Cheng Yanluo raised his hand to stop his words: "Open the warehouse and release grain?" Oh, when that warehouse is easy to open? Is the grain easy to put away? Along the way, I see that the drought in Guangdong is not very serious, if the government and those powerful families can work together and help each other, the affairs of the victims will definitely be settled, but you have also seen, how many victims are on the road? This is obviously the family has all discussed to loot the people's fat and people's ointment, if you open a warehouse at this time to release grain, do you know what the consequences will be? ”
Qin Yi sat down and listened attentively.
He always thought that there was a drought first, and then the merchants were accumulating.
But hearing Cheng Yanluo say this, but this is not the case, this is Qin Yi a little confused.
"In my opinion, this is obviously a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster." Cheng Yanluo sneered and put the chicken leg on the plate: "You have just taken office, you are not familiar with the things here, and you have offended the entire family of Guangdong Province by opening a warehouse to release grain, in addition, the court has not issued an order to help the victims, if you open a warehouse, someone will definitely go to the book to join you, in addition, the people have been hungry for a long time, and the rash opening of the warehouse will also cause civil unrest. ”
Cheng Yanluo analyzed Qin Yi one by one, and the more he said it, the more terrifying it became.
Qin Yi's cold sweat came down when he heard it.
He sat stunned for a while: "Then, then don't care about the victims?" ”
Cheng Yanluo said indifferently: "It is necessary to manage, and it is necessary to think in the long run." ”
Qin Yi stood up violently, and he walked around the room a few times: "Think about it in the long run? Everywhere you and I traveled was full of disaster victims, how many people died on the side of the road? You can't see it, right? Nowadays, time is life, the sooner you open the warehouse and release the grain, the sooner you can save the lives of the people, in the long run, where is there time to think in the long run? ”
Cheng Yanluo glanced at Qin Yi lightly: "What if you don't think about it in the long run?" Do you want to pay for your life to save those victims? ”
Qin Yi raised his head, with a slight redness in his eyes: "If you give up my person, you can save those thousands of people, but it is also feasible." ”
"You ......"
Cheng Yanluo's heart shook violently: "You, I didn't expect you to be such a stupid and reckless person." ”
Qin Yi smiled: "I know what you say, however, every time I think of someone dying all the time, I feel uneasy, although I Qin Yi is not a person of great benevolence and great sage, but, I sit in the position of this prefect, I have to be responsible for the people of this place, in his position, seek his own government, if my prefect does not stand up for the people, who else can relieve the people from hanging upside down." ”
Cheng Yanluo can't say a thousand words.
She sat down and glared at Qin Yi angrily: "You are the greatest good person in the world, and I am the unreasonable villain." ”
Qin Yi walked up to her, slowly squatted down, and looked at her seriously: "Qi Niang, you are not a wicked person, it's just that you ...... If something happens to me, you will be free from now on, and you can do whatever you want. ”
This sentence made Cheng Yanluo's heart uncomfortable.
She felt as if a needle was pricking her, making her restless.
"Are you really, really careless about your own safety?" Cheng Yanluo stretched out his hand to hold Qin Yi's hand: "You must know, this matter is too dangerous, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, you put yourself in danger like this, call me ......"
She wanted to tell me what to do, but she couldn't say it.
Qin Yi smiled, stretched out a hand to straighten out Cheng Yanluo's scattered hair: "Qi Niang, people live for a lifetime, they must have faith, and sometimes, they must also have some blood and courage, otherwise, this life is too boring, I live in this life, be a comfortable person, for what should be done, even if I die immediately, I have no regrets." ”
When he stood up again, his whole body seemed to change.
There is no longer the previous gentleness and tenderness, and the whole is extremely resolute and resolute.
His face was full of perseverance: "Qi Niang, opening a warehouse and releasing grain is a must-do, for the sake of living these thousands of victims, I still have no regrets even though I have died." ”
After saying this, Qin Yi stepped out to go out.
Cheng Yanluo's heart shook dramatically, and he got up and was about to drag him: "Wait a minute, don't you really think about it anymore?" ”
Qin Yi turned around, picked up the chicken leg from the table and stuffed it into Cheng Yanluo's mouth: "You eat your chicken leg, I'll go back." ”
But Qin Yi went out and didn't come back all night.
Cheng Yanluo lit a candle and waited for him.
Qin Yi was not seen all night, and Cheng Yanluo was very anxious.
Qin Yi went to the mansion, looked at the booklet of the granary where Song Qi led people to register, and saw the amount of grain written on the booklet, he laughed out of tears, and at the same time, his heart was full of sadness.
The granary is not without grain, but half a warehouse of old grain, a small half of the new grain.
So much grain was put in the granary for so much that no one dared to take out a single star to keep the people alive.
Qin Yi suddenly understood what it meant to eat people.
This is man-cannibalism, man-cannibalism.
Let him sit idly by.
This simply can't be done.
It would have been fine if Qin Yi hadn't been the prefect of this Guangdong Mansion, but now that he is the parent official of this place, how can he watch the people struggle on the line of death.
As he himself said, in his position and seeking his government, it is imperative to open a warehouse and release grain.
Qin Yi gathered the people he brought, and summarized the news that Liu Feimao inquired, found those documents that had accumulated years in the yamen, and some conscientious officials, and held a half-night meeting, and early the next morning, he took the iron pillars and these people to open a warehouse and release grain.
Qin Yi is a person who has made up his mind to do it, and besides, he just took office yesterday, and he opened a warehouse to release grain today, which is really unexpected.
He used this time difference to catch those families off guard.
He was buying time so that more people could come and receive food.
But no matter how fast it was, in the middle of the morning, those families also heard the news.
Knowing that the new Qin prefect opened a warehouse to release grain, many families were angry, and they all thought that the Qin prefect was slapping them in the face, and they didn't take them in their eyes at all, discussing to teach Qin Yi a lesson.
Cheng Yanluo didn't eat breakfast, and waited for Qin Yi in the back office, but she didn't wait for anyone left and right.
Cheng Yanluo's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
She didn't change her clothes, but she took her sword and went out, and when she came to the stable, she led a horse and turned over and went straight to the granary.
To be honest, Cheng Yanluo did not agree with Qin Yi to open a warehouse and release grain.
However, she was also shocked by Qin Yi's words, especially the sentence, although she still did not regret nine deaths, it had been reverberating in her ears.
Qin Yi is open-minded and benevolent, and he acts in a man but seeks to be upright, which is called Cheng Yanluo's envy and joy.
She herself is a person whose heart and liver are blackened, she seeks the best interests in everything, and she is a selfish person, but the more such a person is, the more she likes and yearns for the kind of person who does not have a little darkness in her heart.
It is precisely because we have seen through those darkness that we will yearn for the light infinitely.
Cheng Yanluo rode on his horse and galloped all the way.
As she walked, the words Qin Yi said echoed in her heart.
Although I still have no regrets for nine deaths, I still have no regrets for nine deaths.
But if he is really dead, what should he do?
A person who has lived in the darkness for a long time and has sunk his heart in the dark has just seen a glimmer of light, how can he be willing to give up.
If she really gave up this little light, she would be greeted by eternal hell.
Cheng Yanluo clenched the sword in his hand, gritted his teeth and said: "You will not regret even if you die, but I can't let you suffer the slightest injury, so you will protect your people and relieve your victims, I ...... and protects you. ”
