Chapter 50 The heart is more than enough, but the strength is insufficient
There is no record of the entry and exit of the towers, so the grain is smuggled out of the city in disguise. If you think about the possible sources of food, then everything will make sense.
Why does the owner of the old village have the confidence to take in the victims, and even guide the victims to come and run! Why would the owner of the old village rather sacrifice his adopted daughter than reveal half a word. Why doesn't the rice store sell grain, but the cottage still has enough food to eat!
Because, this batch of grain is the country's disaster relief food!
This is also the reason why only one-third of the grain in the official warehouse is left.
Zhao Xibao still can't understand the significance of this move. drove the victims out and secretly sent food to help them. Why can't we just distribute relief food in the open? Moreover, didn't the assassin know that if selfishly misappropriating disaster relief food was a crime of beheading, then once the matter of driving out the disaster victims reached heaven, it would be a great crime to exterminate the nine clans.
Why did he do it? Everyone is saying that he is cowardly and incompetent, that he is a puppet. It must have been coerced, so I had to make this decision. Those corrupt officials want to make a fortune by drought. One after another, they stretched out their hands, trying to snatch the people's fat and ointment from the people. If there were no victims, all the food for disaster relief would be in their pockets, and they only had 10,000 taels of snowflakes in their eyes, and they didn't care about the survival of the people.
Thorn Shi had to drive the victims out, and then smuggled away some of the grain in the name of fire. The corrupt officials in Dongzhou City are simply lawless.
After Zhao Xibao finished analyzing, he knew that Thorn Shi turned out to be a poor person, no wonder the old village owner desperately wanted to protect Thorn Shi. In the handling of this matter, fortunately, it is thanks to more investigation that the truth can be known.
Chu Qinzhi hugged Zhao Xibao, looked at her lost mood, and said, "Madam, this time we have finished handling the matter, visit the old man, and let's go back to the capital." The swings in the yard were all dusted. ”
Zhao Xibao nodded, "Since we know that the assassin is innocent, then dealing with these corrupt officials is the most important thing at the moment." The rats of one country after another eat fat heads and big ears. I will punish them by the law. ”
Chu Qinzhi took Zhao Xibao for a walk to eliminate food, and by the way, digested her current indignant anger. Her wife is kind-hearted and innocent, and she can't see the dark operation of officialdom. Focused on the light, how could she have thought that what she saw was only the tip of the iceberg. More filth and filth, he wouldn't let her see it, with him to protect her, she didn't have to know.
The wind is refreshing and the sun is shining, but it can't drive away the clouds and mist in Zhao Xibao's heart. Even if she knew about the speculation, she still wanted to hear how the assassin told the story. Chu Qinzhi went out to deal with official business, and there was a lot of work to be done in post-disaster reconstruction, waiting for him to make a decision. After the two of them rested in bed last night, she asked Chu Qinzhi if she knew that the officials in Dongzhou City were corrupt, why didn't she take them all away and deal with them. Chu Qinzhi's answer at that time was four words, make the best use of things.
This is the real ruthless man, first do not move the look to use the people up, first, the reconstruction of Dongzhou City, need their cooperation to complete, if all of them are taken into custody, Dongzhou City has no available officials for the time being, the reconstruction work will be stagnant and delayed, for the people, there is no benefit. It's better to endure it, take this opportunity to paralyze the corrupt officials, and in the end, completely close the net and draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle.
Zhao Xibao thought about it, and couldn't help but mourn silently for those corrupt officials, it was their bad luck to meet Chu Qinzhi. Of course, if one or two outstanding young talents can appear in this disaster relief, it will also be the best time for them to go straight to the green ladder.
Zhao Xibao took Feng Yelei, Xiao Taozi, and Xicheng to visit the Thorn Mansion, "Stinky boy, how can you be with you, don't get involved in the affairs of adults and children." Xicheng and Feng Yelei were raising the bar, and Feng Yelei said obediently, "Sister Bao'er took me with me, and besides, I'm not a child anymore." I have been bored in the small yard for so many days, and I can't go anywhere, so I envy the children who can go out to play. Feng Yelei hid behind the little peach all of a sudden, Zhao Xibao smiled and didn't speak, the kid is very smart and knows who can help him directly. Sure enough, as soon as Xicheng saw the little peach, he shut up and didn't speak, only knowing that he was circling around the little peach, whether the little peach was thirsty or not, and whether the little peach was hungry.
Zhao Xibao shook his head, out of breath!
When a few people were fighting, they had unconsciously walked to the door of the Assassin's Mansion. Feng Yelei's emotions were a little uncontrollable, he couldn't show it in front of people, pretending to be a child's innocent curiosity. "Wow, what a beautiful place, sister, I'll go in and have a look." Zhao Xibao couldn't stop him, so he ran away from a long place. A word of caution, the stem was in the throat, and he swallowed it back.
She saw that when Feng Yelei turned around just now, his eyes were red. Although he usually just pretends to be well-behaved, he will never easily expose his emotions in front of others. This fear of assassination has a close relationship with him. Wasn't it him at the beginning, telling them that the old village owner was the old housekeeper of the assassin history. It is enough to prove that Feng Yelei knows the history of assassination and the housekeeper.
Why not go to them? It's hundreds of times better than crawling around in a pile of beggars. Strange him.
Zhao Xibao still asked Xicheng to look for it, after all, he is a child, he is not familiar with life, what if he gets lost. Although she is a road idiot, as long as Little Peach follows her, she will not get lost.
only then did he step into the gate of the Thorn Mansion, and heard the Thorn History fans staring at him and drinking and chanting poetry.
Ask the world, what is love, and what is the promise of life and death? There are double flyers in the south and the north, and the old wings have been cold and hot several times. Happy and fun, parting bitter, there are even more crazy children. You should have said: Stratus clouds, thousands of mountains and twilight snow, who does the shadow go to?
Hengfen Road, lonely when the drums, the smoke is still flat. The soul is a little more groaning, and the mountain ghosts are crying in the wind. The sky is also jealous, and the warblers and swallows are all loess. Through the ages, in order to stay for the people, he sang and drank wildly, and visited Yanqiu.
If you listen closely, it seems to be the same word that comes and goes. This assassin is crazy, no wonder someone has taken power away and become a puppet. When she came here, she just wanted to ask the assassin if she could know what the old village owner had done for him. If you know, then the madness is pretended, and the questions can be asked later. If not, then what's the point of the old village owner doing this, when the time comes, the old village owner can only be kicked out to take the blame.
It's up to the crazy stabbing master to make what kind of choice!
Just as Zhao Xibao was about to push open the door of the Thorn Shi room, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground inside. Chu Qinzhi stopped her, pushed open the door and went in first. Zhao Xibao saw Thorn Shi covering his bleeding abdomen, instead of shock and joy, he felt a sense of relief. Wu Neng's eyes looked at the side of the screen, Feng Yelei, who was holding the knife in both hands and trembling slightly, a child, unexpectedly exuded a crazy sense of pleasure.
When Fang approached the door, Wu Neng was still chanting poetry, and he had never heard the sound of fighting. Could it be that the two have some grievances? Zhao Xibao asked Xifeng to go out for a run and take gauze and wound medicine. The crazy stabbing history is quiet at this moment. It's not pain, it's peace of mind.
Thorn Shi stared at Feng Yelei, holding on to the pain, dragging his steps, and moving to Feng Yelei's side. He muttered to himself, "It looks like it, it looks like it." Feng Yelei waved away the hand he wanted to get close to, and scolded angrily, "You didn't expect to have today, why did your dirty hands touch me?" Father-in-law? ”
Zhao Xibao's eyebrows jumped, knowing that the stinky boy had a hidden origin and refused to say it. She initially guessed that it was the illegitimate child of a wealthy family, but she didn't expect it to be related to the history of assassination. Although Feng Yelei is a precocious child, he has a bad temper and will not act indiscriminately, unless the other party has done something that touches his bottom line.
Feng Yelei raised the dagger, as if he wanted to make up for Wu Neng. And Wu Neng's attitude of being at his mercy made Zhao Xibao's nervousness almost rise to his throat. There are many unsolved mysteries in Dongzhou City that need to be solved by Wu Neng. If he is killed, according to the temperament of the old village owner, he will either commit suicide and follow them, or hate them to the bone and never keep his mouth shut again. It will have a negative impact on subsequent development.
Feng Yelei didn't make a move for a long time, sighed in annoyance, "clang" dagger fell to the ground, pushed open the door and ran away. Zhao Xibao gave Xicheng a little peach a look, and caught up, the child was emotionally unstable, don't let anything happen to him. She looked around the study and found only a copper basin and two long towels to use. If Wu Neng is allowed to bleed, he will bleed to death in less than a quarter of an hour. Chu Qinzhi saw her plan, took the first step, knotted the two long towels, and bandaged Wu Neng neatly with his hands and feet.
Wu Neng leaned back on the corner of the table and said weakly, "Lord Wang, don't blame that child, I did it myself." "Xifeng is smart and smart, in addition to the wound medicine, he also brought back a Langzhong. With Lang Zhong here, there is no need to worry about Wu Neng's life. Zhao Xibao is becoming more and more curious about Wu Neng, this person is more interesting than she imagined.
is wise and scheming, but he doesn't do a good assassination, he has to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and let others empty their rights. Obviously, he was able to use the disaster relief grain to help the people, but he had to turn around and use the granary to burn down, smuggle out the grain, and secretly hide the silver taels hijacked by the cottage. Now, being stabbed by his righteous son, not only does he not care, but he has the meaning of indulging and letting him do wrong.
What was his purpose in doing this? Some people like to beat around the bush when they talk and do things, so that others can understand the meaning of the words on their own. Some people are very arrogant, and one rectum leads to the brain, which makes people see the bottom at a glance. No matter what kind of thing it is, everyone who does things and says things will have his starting point and purpose. If you follow the essence of the vine, you will naturally find out what others really need.
Dongzhou City is getting more and more interesting!
