Chapter 033: Ji'an Disaster Victims

readx;? When Yun Yao and the other three spoke, they didn't lower their voices, as if they felt that there was no one around, so they didn't shy away from it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but they didn't know that all the conversations were listened to by the splendid aunt who followed them.

Originally, the Queen Mother also felt that Lu Yingquan's attitude towards Wu Qianwen had some problems, but she couldn't figure out why, but now after listening to Wu Qianwen's words, she felt that all this was logical.

If Lu Yingquan really likes General Gu, then it is normal that she does not have a good face for General Gu's fiancée. After all, girls are small-minded, and it's understandable to be a little jealous.

After Jinxiu made up her mind in her heart, she didn't continue to listen, after all, she didn't want to interfere in the fight between these three girls. Because her words and deeds automatically represent the Queen Mother in the eyes of others, it is better not to appear at all.

Thinking of this, Jinxiu sighed, shook her head, turned around and left, returned to the main hall of Jianzhang Palace, and told the Queen Mother all the scenes she had just seen and heard.

"The mourning family is really old, and the young girls in the palace have already begun to fight for the wind and be jealous. The Queen Mother chuckled and said, "It would be nice if Lu Yingquan really fell in love with General Gu, and it just so happened that the Mourning family didn't want to marry Miss Wu to Gu Qingming so much." ”

"Why?" Jinxiu was a little surprised when she heard this, after all, Gu Qingming asked the emperor to marry in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, and it was also agreed by the Queen Mother.

"Gu Qingming is the only general in the world, and his prestige in the army is extremely high, except for Yuan Kai's army, whether Daning is in the capital or on the border, there is no general who does not give him face. And Miss Wu is also from the army, with a bold and uninhibited personality, and she also learned a lot of ways to control the army from General Wu. What would happen if these two men were united?" asked the Queen Mother rhetorically.

"Is the Queen Mother worried that General Gu will support his troops and threaten the court?" Jinxiu quickly understood what the Queen Mother meant.

Gu Qingming's own connections are already very wide, and General Wu's connections are also very wide, if it is a strong alliance, I am afraid that more than half of the military power of this Great Ning Kingdom will fall into Gu Qingming's hands.

If Gu Qingming's position is slightly biased, then Daning will be unstable. The most important thing is that the Queen Mother is worried that Gu Qingming will be connected with the emperor, after all, they have grown up together since childhood and have a close relationship.

"You and I know this well, so I don't need to say more. The Queen Mother said, "As long as the authority of this Daning is not out of the control of the mourning family, no matter how they make trouble, the mourning family will watch a show." ”

"What the Queen Mother said is that the slave and maid understand. Jinxiu answered, and said no more.

She understood what the Queen Mother meant, no matter what the situation in this palace changed, as long as the power in the hands of the Queen Mother was not shaken, as long as Jianzhang Palace was still the most majestic existence in the Daning Palace City, everything was not important.

At the same time, the dispute in the courtyard of Jianzhang Palace was also settled, and in the face of Wu Qianwen's accusations and accusations, Lu Yingquan did not refute or get angry, but just smiled lightly:

"If Miss Wu is willing, she can naturally tell the Queen Mother, just say that I, Lu Yingquan, want to rob General Gu with you, you are afraid that you are not attractive enough, and you are afraid that General Gu will be snatched away by me, so you deliberately seek the protection and help of the Queen Mother. ”

Hearing this, Yun Yao tugged at Lu Yingquan's sleeve and signaled her not to say too much, after all, it was in the palace, even if it was different from the past, but one more thing was better than one less.

Lu Yingquan also seemed to know that he was in the position of Shangyi in front of the emperor, and he was on the cusp of the storm, so he stopped stupidly, threw Wu Qianwen a roll of the eyes, and then turned around and left, even ignoring Yun Yao.

Wu Qianwen looked at Lu Yingquan's back, couldn't help but stomp her feet, and said to Yun Yao: "How can such a dignified and stable person as Yun Shao become a sister with someone like Lu Shangyi?

"Miss Wu, she is the third rank of the imperial front Shangyi, and I am only the fifth rank of the young envoy, when it comes to losing her identity, it should be Yingquan, right?" Yun Yao didn't like Wu Qianwen talking bad about people behind her back, so she said, "However, Yingquan has always been this character, and please don't take it to heart Miss Wu." I'll take my leave. ”

After Yun Yao finished speaking, she turned around and left, and went to Huan Palace, leaving Wu Qianwen alone in place, indignant.

Wu Qianwen stared at the back of the two leaving, a certain deep thought flashed in her eyes, she bit her lip, as if she had thought of something, and the expression on her face gradually became firm.

And Gu Qingming, who was thousands of miles away, was not so smooth.

Since that night at the junction of Jiandong County and Ji'an County, he was assassinated by a black-clothed assassin of unknown origin, and the road has been relatively peaceful.

Gu Qingming led his troops to escort Yang Hao and Sun Hui to the county government office in Jiandong County, took out the holy decree, explained the intention, and then the county guard arranged the guest room and let Yang Hao, Sun Hui and Gu Qingming live in the county office. And Gu Qingming stationed the army near the county government to support and protect at any time.

As the closest county to Ji'an County, Jiandong County was also selected by the victims of Ji'an County as the best place to evacuate. After all, Jiandong County is relatively high, and the floods are rarely affected, and the county guards of Jiandong County are also relatively enlightened, giving soup porridge at the gate of the county government to relieve the victims, so many people in Ji'an County have fled here.

After resting for a day in the county government, Yang Hao said that he wanted to go out to observe the people's situation and understand the situation in Ji'an County, and then implement the relocation plan, and finally blow up the river embankment and dredge the river before the rainstorm came.

Naturally, Yang Hao was the inspector of this southward trip, and he was also the minister appointed by Shen Ze, so he wanted to go out, and Sun Hui and Gu Qingming naturally followed.

The three of them did not wear official uniforms, but wore regular uniforms, but even so, in a small place like Jiandong County, people come and go with familiar faces, and suddenly seeing three strangers still can't help but attract the attention of the people.

The most important thing is that the people who are officials in Beijing have their own majesty from top to bottom, which is incomparable to local officials, so some people with eyes can still guess the identities of these people.

Looking along the street, there are scattered refugees who fled from Ji'an County, some are in rags, some are yellow and thin, and some are dragging their families with their mouths, and they are in shape.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do well, enjoy your meal--I haven't eaten in days, and I'm dying of hunger-"

Suddenly, a victim rushed out from the side of the road, pounced directly in front of the three people, knelt down with a thud, kowtowed to Yang Hao a few times, and then began to cry.

His cry attracted the surrounding homeless people, and as soon as everyone saw these three strangers from other places, and they were dressed very decently, they guessed in their hearts that they were either rich people or officials of the imperial court, so they all followed behind that person, knelt on the ground in black pressure, and opened their mouths to ask Gu Qingming and them for help.

"Everyone, please get up quickly-" Yang Hao looked at these people, hurriedly stretched out his hand, made a gesture for everyone to get up, and then explained, "This official is sent by the imperial court to deal with the flood and provide relief to the victims, please be calm and not impatient, when this official has inspected the specific situation of Ji'an County, he will give you an explanation." ”

It stands to reason that the disaster relief officials of the imperial court came out to speak, and they were still more convincing, after all, these victims had no backbone for a long time and had been in a panic.

But in fact, it was not, and the crowd didn't know who shouted, and the whole crowd began to boil.

"The officials from the imperial court are all deceitful, the officials who have come for disaster relief have come wave after wave, and the silver for disaster relief has been allocated batch after batch, but before it reaches the hands of our people, it has disappeared. These officials, under the guise of disaster relief, looted the people's fat and ointment, and our difficulties could not be solved, but he ran to the emperor to receive the credit——"

After shouting these words, the people who had just been appeased by Yang Hao began to make a fuss again.

Everyone nodded their heads and heads frequently, as if they all felt that what they had just said made sense. After all, when the people were affected by the disaster, their hearts were the most vulnerable, and when they were provoked by such inflammatory words, they all felt that the officials sent by the imperial court were not good people.

After all, the previous few times, all the officials said that disaster relief, but it did not work, but many people still died.

Gu Qingming stood behind Yang Hao, his eyes kept looking at these victims, but he didn't even find out who was the first person to speak.

After saying so many words, no matter how fast he spoke, Gu Qingming should have discovered his lips, but the fact is that Gu Qingming didn't find out.

In other words, someone in the crowd just said these words without opening their mouths.

In this world, there are only two kinds of people who can speak without opening their mouths, one is a person who can speak ventriloquistically, and the other is a person with deep internal skills, who can rely on their own inner strength to transmit sound through the air.

It just so happens that Gu Qingming is this second kind of person.

While Gu Qingming was thinking, the people's emotions were getting higher and higher.

"That's right, kill these corrupt officials and corrupt officials! They sleep on high beds and soft pillows, wear silk and satin, and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, but they still covet our life-saving silver, and receive credit in front of the emperor, regardless of whether we live or die!" said one of the people.

"Kill him, we took the disaster relief money ourselves and distributed it to the victims!"

"Yes, one less such official is counted as one, and it can be regarded as our contribution to the imperial court!"

......

The mood of the people suddenly became indignant, and everyone stopped kneeling, and rushed directly towards Yang Hao and them, clenching their fists in their hands, as if they were going to smash on Yang Hao and others in the next moment.

Yang Hao is a civil official, he can't compare to Gu Qingming's vision of the battlefield, where has he seen such a scene? The moment the crowd rushed over, he was at a loss and stood a little stunned.

"Lord Yang, Lord Sun, evacuate quickly and return to the county office, there is a problem with these victims!"

Gu Qingming was the first to discover the situation, so he dragged the two adults left and right, quickly retreated from the encirclement of these victims, and quickly headed towards the county office. And behind them, Gu Qingming's personal soldiers stopped these people and gave them a chance to retreat.
