Chapter 79: It's so much more cost-effective to make a lot of money with a muffled voice!
Seeing that Shen Ninghua finally appeared, the people gathered at the door of the mansion shouted happily, and in less than a moment, the people who were originally waiting in line in front of the table of the imperial doctors gathered at Shen Ninghua's table.
From the door to the city, a few doctors blew their beards and stared at each other, and they fell down in anger. However, they are also convinced in their hearts, these days, it seems that Shen Ninghua's medical skills are no worse than theirs, and they are inferior in many aspects, plus although this woman has a cold and tough personality, she does everything she does, and her actions are convincing.
Shen Ninghua is not surprised, she paved the way step by step in order to make a name for itself, so that the next disaster relief will be much easier. However, she really couldn't see so many people, so she asked the guards around her to come forward and persuade the people to disperse.
Many people were very unhappy, and some people waited for the doctor to finish the diagnosis, and then lined up for Shen Ninghua to see it again, and made sure that the doctor did not make a diagnosis error, so they were embarrassed to take the medicine and leave.
By the end of the free clinic, it was already dark. Shen Ninghua's health was not yet good, so she asked Bai Wei to help her take the meal back to the yard, and went to bed after eating it hastily.
The free clinic lasted for three days, and the medicinal materials had already run out, and the guards had no time to go up the mountain to collect medicines, and the second prince still had no contact with Xiao Jingran.
Chu Junyi came to Shen Ninghua's residence early in the morning and sat on a chair to watch her eat.
It was really uncomfortable to be stared at by that gaze, and Shen Ninghua finally spoke: "Young Master Mo, what are you doing here early in the morning?" ”
Listening to the three words of Mo Gongzi that were particularly emphasized, Chu Junyi laughed: "I'll supervise your meal." ”
Shen Ninghua glanced at him, lowered her head and continued to eat, he didn't want to say it, she didn't bother to ask.
Hongling ran in from outside, and when she saw Chu Junyi also there, she didn't care at all: "Miss, someone came to find the second prince overnight, saying that General Xiao was trapped in Linjiang City, and the victims surrounded Linjiang City, and many places were in trouble, and the situation was very critical." ”
Shen Ninghua put down his chopsticks: "What is Gongzi Mo's next plan?" ”
"It's good to fish in muddy waters, can't Ning Hua guess if he's so smart?" Jiangnan is too rich, and the officials here are inextricably linked with the princes and important ministers of the court, and if they want to uproot them, they must use fast knives and heavy hammers.
"Then you have to be careful, the fish in this water can eat people even if they are too big." Baili Qingcang, as an emperor, naturally thought about rectifying Jiangnan, but unfortunately, the water here was too deep, and the ministers sent by the Qin Cha drowned batch after batch, and in the end there was nothing to do about Jiangnan.
Chu Junyi looked at Shen Ninghua, his eyes lit up: There are tens of thousands of women in the world, but there is no second person who can be as insightful as Shen Ninghua.
"Don't worry, I'm the best at fish stew."
Shen Ninghua chuckled, knowing that he had been prepared for a long time, so he didn't say anything anymore.
After Chu Junyi left, Hongling said in a low voice: "Miss, that troublemaker didn't do anything, and he bit his tongue and committed suicide this morning." ”
Shen Ninghua was not surprised: "Well, the poison on his cuffs is by no means an ordinary poison, once he inhales the toxins in his lungs, he will spread all over his body, and he will bleed to death in less than a moment." ”
Hongling palpitated: "Fortunately, Miss was shrewd and didn't let that person get close." ”
"It's not easy to investigate this matter clearly, so let's do it first, don't check it, there's news from Kyoto?"
"No, Kyoto is very quiet."
Shen Ninghua frowned, at this time, quietness makes people panic.
Baili Jinchuan paced back and forth in the hall, with a hint of anger in his eyes, and only slightly restrained himself when he saw Shen Ninghua come in: "Ninghua, you are not feeling unwell, why don't you rest more." ”
Shen Ninghua shook his head: "Has the second prince and Old General Xiao been in contact?" ”
"I have sent people to Linjiang City, but there are too many victims besieging the city, and my people can't enter at all." Baili Jinchuan sighed heavily, "I have already played to my father, and I really can't do it, so I can only send troops to suppress it." ”
Shen Ninghua disagreed: "Now the people in Jiangnan are already panicking, they are besieging Linjiang City just to find a way to live, didn't the imperial court send troops to force them to rebel?" Besides, the plague in Jiangnan is rampant, and if the army comes here to be infected with the plague collectively, then ......"
Baili Jinchuan smiled bitterly: "I don't know, but what else can I do if I don't do this?" Linjiang City occupies the waterway, if you want to transport medicinal materials to Jiangnan, you must go to Linjiang, they are not scattered, the medicinal materials cannot be transported in, and the Jiangnan form is even more critical, now it is just a flat city, and the medicinal materials are no longer enough, not to mention other places in Jiangnan. ”
Now Heijo is temporarily stable, but once the medicinal materials are exhausted, this stable situation will collapse in an instant.
Shen Ninghua was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Does Your Highness dare to kill?" ”
Baili Jinchuan raised his head suddenly, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and looked at her eyes with unprecedented eagerness: "Ning Hua, do you have an idea?" ”
"The people are in trouble because they are dissatisfied, if there is still a way to live, these honest people will not choose to take risks at all, as long as we get rid of the factors that make them unable to live, they will naturally be grateful to Dade."
"What keeps people alive?"
"Yes, the first one is the plague, we already have a prescription for the treatment, just waiting for Linjiang City to open, and the medicinal materials by water will be able to be transported soon. The second is the rebel who has abandoned the people. The only way to deal with this kind of person is to kill them to solve the troubles. ”
Baili Jinchuan's eyes moved: "You said you killed those officials?" ”
"Yes," Shen Ninghua looked at him with clear eyes, "Your Highness should know that you don't have the right to kill the officials first and then play, and if you make an exception and kill an official in Jiangnan, you will inevitably be impeached after returning to Beijing, and even the emperor will ask you for it, have you thought about it, do you dare to do it?" ”
Baili Jinchuan lowered his head and pondered, it is indeed an effective method to cut first and then play, but it is extremely risky, but if he does not reassure the victims at the moment, I am afraid that the consequences will be even more serious, he is now like standing on a mountain ridge, with cliffs on both sides, and the future is uncertain where he chooses to go.
"Ning Hua, if you are me, how to choose?"
Shen Ninghua smiled: "Your Highness is laughing, where are there so many ifs, His Royal Highness is the emperor's son, although the emperor does not want to see His Royal Highness's power too heavy and threaten the imperial power, he will not ignore the blood and family affection, and His Royal Highness will not worry about his life no matter how he chooses." ”
"What you say is reasonable, since your life is worry-free, then you can naturally give it a go, okay, if you become famous, if you are bad, you can also be an idle prince."
The smile on Shen Ninghua's lips deepened, and her bright eyes were dyed with a little smile: "Since Your Highness knows what to do, then without further ado, the sooner you can reassure the victims, the better, and I will go back first." ”
On the second day, a piece of news spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, and the second prince personally sent someone to arrest Yin of Pingcheng Mansion, who had abandoned the people, and beheaded him in front of the people, and made a bold statement that for those officials who abandoned the people and only sought personal gain, the people could tie them up on their own, and as long as it was confirmed that it was true, they would be beheaded directly.
Many people were suspicious when they heard the news, did the second prince really have the courage to do this?
On the third day, the Yicheng Zhizhou, which was close to Pingcheng, was tied up by the people and sent to Pingcheng, and listed more than 20 charges for hoarding food and taking advantage of disasters to collect money.
Day 4 & Day 5...... The news kept coming out, the disaster situation in Pingcheng and Yicheng was stable, and the good news kept coming out, and the victims besieging the city could no longer bear it, and broke through the city gate that night, and tied up the twelve officials who had been doing nothing and oppressing the people and sent them to Pingcheng.
Unexpectedly, only halfway through, the second prince actually appeared with people and horses, these victims were ready to be killed, but they didn't want to, the second prince not only did not kill them, but directly cut down the officials who were tied up by them.
"It's because I can't live with the villagers, I actually let these court moths hoard rice and noodles, and make a fortune in the country, I know that if there is no way out, you will definitely not besiege Linjiang City, I will kill these corrupt officials today, and I will open a warehouse and release grain when I rush to Linjiang City tomorrow, so that everyone can fill their stomachs first!"
The victims' eyes suddenly turned red, and no matter how much they said, they couldn't fill their stomachs, they were so hungry......
Shen Ninghua followed Baili Jinchuan to Linjiang City, and the victims who had already received the news got out of the way one after another, allowing them to enter the city unimpeded.
Xiao Jingran had already led someone to greet him at the gate of the city, and when he saw the second prince, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The criminal minister has seen the king of Dejun." ”
The second prince took two steps forward and helped him up: "Old General Xiao is guilty, please get up quickly." ”
"The criminal minister deserves to die, not only did he not quell the Jiangnan disaster, but he was besieged in the city, and he really had no shame to return to Beijing to meet the saint."
Shen Ninghua stood not far away, this was the first time she had seen Xiao Jingran since she was reborn. In the previous life, she had only seen this legendary general once, when she had just helped Baili Jinze get rid of the third prince and the fourth prince, Xiao Jingran entered the palace with a long whip, and one hundred and ten guards couldn't stop him, he walked in front of him, and destroyed her palace with a long whip, only said the word "poisonous woman", and then resigned and returned to his hometown, and there has been no news since.
This old general has obviously killed countless people on the battlefield, but he is calm and calm between his eyebrows, and he can't see the killing spirit at all, which really makes people can't see the depth.
After Xiao Jingran was helped up, he saw Shen Ninghua with a sweep of his eyes, his face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes had a bright and clear light, as if he could see people's hearts.
Shen Ninghua didn't move, a breeze blew the hair in her ears, she reached out to press the hair down, and acted elegantly: "I've seen General Xiao." ”
"The county lord is polite." Xiao Jingran turned his head away, not paying much attention to her.
Baili Jinchuan did not delay, entered the city and arranged a little, then ordered to open a warehouse to release grain, the victims saw that he really fulfilled his promise, they knelt on the ground and cheered, for a time Linjiang City Hu Sheng shook the sky, and the reputation of Baili Jinchuan spread rapidly in the south of the Yangtze River.
Shen Ninghua stood on top of the attic, looking at the victims who were lining up to receive rice porridge below, and his eyes couldn't see his emotions.
Chu Junyi held the fan, and sighed slightly in his voice: "After this move, the second prince is really famous. ”
Shen Ninghua looked back at him: "I gave him an idea at the beginning, didn't you expect this kind of result, why, regret it?" ”
"How can you regret it? Most of the officials in Jiangnan are gone, but I am waiting to fill the vacancy, and the reputation will be earned by the second prince, and it is enough for me to eat in the dark. ”
Shen Ninghua smiled, and appreciated Chu Junyi a little more in his heart, the reputation of being able to win is naturally good, but it is inevitable that people will be burdened by the fame, and it is most cost-effective to make a fortune in a muffled voice.
