Chapter 36 Angry reprimands of the Dongzhou officials
Changshi looked at the person in front of him with a bad smile, and his fair skin set off his handsome and prominent facial features. Either rich or expensive. The other person kept his back to him, looking up slightly at the 'mirror hanging' and was silent, although he didn't see his face, his whole body exuded a majestic momentum.
So what?! In Dongzhou City, he is the king's law, he is the sky, dare to tear down his platform, live impatiently!
Changshi strode forward and sat on the chair in the lobby, and the dog-legged officials who followed him in lined up and shouted might. Changshi was shocked, "Who is in the hall, why don't you kneel when you see this official?!" Come on, twenty canes to serve! ”
The officials were about to make a move, Xi Cheng picked up the scabbard, and they stopped one after another, after all, this person's skills had just been taught. It was easy for one person to beat twenty people, and he didn't even make a ruthless move.
Changshi pulled out the signing order of the lottery holder, and threw it on the ground in anger, "Call me!" ”
"How dare you !!"
Zhao Xibao's temper has also come up, and he has never seen such a mediocre, incompetent and violent chief official.
She pointed to the tip of Gao Changshi's nose and scolded:
"In the face of the complaint, regardless of the reason, the opening is 50 taels of silver. Did you know that 50 taels is enough for half a year's expenses for an ordinary peasant family? You are greedy! When the court was opened, he was sentenced to 20 canes without asking the reason for the complaint. Do you know that twenty rods are enough to kill? You are mediocre and violent! is so absurd and mediocre, how can he be worthy of being a parent official in a city, and how to uphold justice for the people. With you here, how can it be fair? What is justice! ”
Changshi slapped the stunned wood angrily and shouted: "Bold, dare to speak like this!" Don't take him down quickly! "The officials didn't dare to move under the sword light of Xicheng. Zhao Xibao wanted to go to the dog officer's table, but she held back the anger that rushed to her head and sneered: "Aren't you afraid of offending people who shouldn't be offended?" ”
Gao Changshi laughed, "The entire Dongzhou City, I refer to the east, who dares to go west?" Now, even if I beat you to death in the court, I don't dare to say a word! ”
Chu Qinzhi glanced at Xifeng, Xifeng whistled, and the Shence army outside the door moved when he heard the order, and the footsteps of Qi brushing made Changshi unable to sit still at all. Xifeng took out a token from his arms, Changshi stood up and looked at it, his feet were weak, he slipped down from the chair, and grabbed it for a long time before holding on to the table.
Gao Changshi crawled out on his knees, holding Chu Qinzhi's feet, "It turned out that Lord Du Du came, Lord Du Du has a large number, and the small dog doesn't know Mount Tai, you will spare the little one this time, and the small one will never dare in the future." ”
Chu Qin kicked him away, didn't even look at him, and walked to the main case, "Come on, take him down." The rest waited and fell. Zhao Xibao has never been so indignant, she has heard in the city, and the long history of this person makes people change their color and listen to it shockingly. Before, the Shence Army quietly entered the city just in case of emergency, but I didn't expect it to be used so soon. The management of Dongzhou City is so lax, if the Shence Army is invaded by foreign enemies, I am afraid that the entire city will already be easily pocketed.
The post station is full of anecdotes of the high price of rice in Dongzhou City, and some people feel that the world is declining and life is not easy; Some people secretly rejoice that they can make a lot of money.
"Lord Wang, no, according to the second brother's letter, Xinmi should have arrived the day before yesterday, why didn't there be any movement?" Zhao Xibao knocked on the table and thought.
"Something must have gone wrong, I calculated, even if the journey is delayed, it will be a day late at most." Zhao Xibao thought of this situation and couldn't sit still. "Lord, I have to go to Hexian County. The address of the last rice grain report was Hexian County. This time, I was careless, and the closer I got to the end of the transport, the more likely it was that problems would occur. In particular, there is still a famine in Dongzhou City. ”
Chu Qinzhi touched her head, "Don't worry, take your time, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." You go alone, I don't feel at ease. With Xifeng and Xicheng sitting in the town, Dongzhou City can't have problems for the time being. Zhao Xibao nodded, holding Chu Qinzhi's arm and coquettishly. Lord, you are the best. ”
"It's just a mouthful of laughter." The tsundere prince is not happy on his lips, but sweet in his heart. She will be spoiled with him now, which means that the relationship between him and her is on a higher level.
Chu Qinzhi came to the study and instructed Xicheng and Xifeng that the price of rice had risen, and people were panicked, so they must strengthen inspections, increase the frequency of soup kitchens, and use all the rice that can be used in the official warehouse. As long as you survive this month, you don't have to worry about running out of rice.
Zhao Xibao originally wanted to bring the little peach, considering that the little peach couldn't ride a horse. The situation in the city is tense day by day, and clashes may break out at any time, and once the flame of conflict is ignited, it is very easy to form a hunger riot, and then the situation is even more difficult to contain.
"Husband, you've only been home for a few days, and you're going out again. Grandmother has been talking about you, can you refuse? "In the Zhongfu of the capital, a lady in a pink phoenix butterfly dress persuaded her husband not to go out. The people of the Zhong family all pouted, especially Fengyun.
Hmph, if Hong Tingting hadn't drugged the young master back then, how could the young master not want to return home? If she hadn't used tricks to persecute the Zhong family's grandmother, how could the young master be separated from her grandmother? Since that person got married, the young master has become even more depressed, and when he was there before, how happy the young master was, every day was like a warm sun in winter. Nowadays, the young master is like a quilt that is wet on a rainy day, and it can't be dried.
Zhong Tingli was extremely disgusted by her touch, which reminded him of the scene that day when it was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart. But the cultivation in his bones made him unable to do it, and ignored her. I could only hold back and push her hand away, and I didn't want to say a word.
Zhong Tingli packed his luggage, said goodbye to his grandmother with charm, and went to Dongzhou with light clothes.
Fate is so ingenious, even in the same city, the person you want to see in your heart may be on the street, passing by everyone, but you can't meet you alone.
She and Chu Qinzhi worked hard day and night to rush to Hexian County. After a little inquiry, I knew that Xinmi had already set off from Hexian County. The next stop in Hexian is Dongzhou City, so you can know that you are lost on the mountain road in the middle.
"Although the scope of the investigation has been narrowed, but the attitude of the sudden situation in the middle, where do you have to start?" Zhao Xibao was a little irritable, because he didn't think it through, if he sent someone to answer, but this situation would not occur.
Chu Qinzhi spread out the topographic map, "Are the people who transport rice reliable?" ”
Zhao Xibao nodded, "This time the second brother did it himself, and the people selected are all old buddies of the Zhao family's transportation line, and they are absolutely loyal and reliable." The second brother knows what is at stake, so there will be no problem with the transporter. ”
Chu Qinzhi nodded at Fengcui Mountain in the middle of the map, "Since there is no problem with the personnel, it is likely that someone has robbed them?" If you think about it, if it was an ordinary accident, why didn't anyone come back to report it? Do they not want to, or simply can't? ”
"Robbery? It makes sense that even if all the rice is destroyed, someone will come back to report it. Zhao Xibao's mentality collapsed a little suddenly, and she didn't even dare to think about the worst. They are all friends of the Zhao family for many years, in case Xinmi is robbed, their fate is self-evident, she harmed them.
Chu Qinzhi held her trembling hand, "Before things are clear, I don't allow you to think about it too much, if you have time to think about those non-existent things, it's better to cheer up and think about how to deal with the current situation." Zhao Xibao found a sense of security in his firm voice, and now that he didn't see Renhe and Mi, he couldn't easily draw conclusions.
Little Peach didn't stay with Miss for the first time, and she was full of a sense of loss. Xicheng couldn't see her as listless as a wilted flower, and wanted to make her happy. "Peach, isn't it because we can't ride a horse that we will be abandoned."
Little Peach glared at him fiercely. "You're just abandoned!" After speaking, he was about to raise his fist and beat Xicheng.
Xicheng is happy, and he likes the energetic appearance of the little peach, even if he beats him, he looks good. "Peach, I'll take you to learn how to ride a horse, it's not difficult. When you learn it, your young lady will definitely take you with her when she goes out in the future. Don't think about your young lady, look at me. I won't miss my master for a year or two when he leaves. ”
Little Peach rolled her eyes, "Hehe, your master is only active in the capital, how can I give you a chance to leave in a year or two." Hmph, who would miss that person who has no conscience. ”
The unconscionable person in Xiao Peach's mouth and her husband were tied hand and foot at this moment, biting the steamed bun, and were thrown in the firewood room. The other, full of energy, was tied to a five-person-wide red wedding bed.
Zhao Xibao didn't expect the other party to be so tough! Can you not just pick the good-looking ones, is she so unsightly?
At that time, they inquired about the road conditions in Hexian County and tried to investigate the steep mountain roads along the way, and obtained an important clue. Zhao Xibao and Chu Qinzhi changed their clothes to become ordinary Orion brothers, and the first point of investigation was the bandit den in Fengcui Mountain. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains.
When they tried to get close to the cottage, they were spotted by a road post. The man in charge immediately pointed out two teams of men and horses, forming a front and rear encirclement and joint attack.
Zhao Xibao thought that the master was a big boss, and he was not wrong, but he was a pure girl with a big face and three thick faces. Fat girl, no, the owner of the village fell in love with Chu Qinzhi at a glance. "How does the guy next to you make an offer?" The rough voice, with a bit of freshness and neatness, in addition to her behavior, surprised her, her words and deeds shocked her soul.
The personable, chic and handsome Lord Ning is afraid that it is the first time that he has been auctioned at a clear price. She wanted to laugh on the side but didn't dare to laugh, after all, Longyou Shoal was played by shrimp. It's not a good thing, besides, it's also her husband, why should she share it with others and let the prince listen to the vulgar remarks of the owner of the village?
Zhao Xibao was about to rush forward to argue, but Chu Qinyi grabbed her and told her to calm down. She was stunned that the prince was willing to sell his beauty for her.
Zhao Xibao shook his head and said that he would share weal and sorrow together. "Owner, we happened to come here, we are the hunters in the neighborhood. Please let him go, if necessary, do you see if I can exchange with him? ”
The wild female village owner pointed to Zhao Xibao's gray face and sneered: "Hehehe, when I'm a fool, right?" With a beautiful woman in your arms, what else do you want to do? ”
