Chapter 184: Disaster Relief Silver Grain Intercepted
Five days had passed since Li Gan came to Tianzhu City, and during these five days, Li Gan seemed to have forgotten that the purpose of coming to Pingzhou was to appease the people.
Lu Wenbai would prepare some good programs for Li Gan every day, which also made Li Gan forget about it and immerse himself in the bright lights every day.
Although Li Qian is the crown prince, he is also a person after all, but because of his status as the crown prince, in Kyoto, he has always suppressed his desire to indulge.
Now that he finally left Kyoto and came to this place far away from Emperor Gao, he still has to let himself indulge.
"Prince! Prince! ”
"Oh no, big deal!"
Just as Li Qian was enjoying himself in the room, there was a sudden shouting of Lu Wenbai outside the door.
"Prince, who is this person from outside, why are you so uninteresting."
In the room, the woman who was held in Li Gan's arms looked at Li Gan Jiaodidi, and asked a little tirelessly.
"This is the prefect of your Tianzhu City, aren't you afraid of being heard by him when you say this?"
Li Qian said with a smile.
"Don't be afraid, the little girl is now the prince's person, and the little woman believes that the prince will definitely make the decision for the little girl."
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Li Gan laughed out loud, but at the same time, there was a touch of disdain in his eyes.
It's just a dusty woman, and it is a blessing for her to spoil her for three lifetimes, but this woman is good, and she wants to rely on herself.
Could it be that the truth flies on the branches and becomes a phoenix?
Li Qian couldn't help but sneer, then let go of the woman in his arms and said, "Go open the door." ”
Although the woman was unwilling, she still had to do as Li Gan instructed.
opened the door, and the person standing outside the door came into view, but at this moment, there was a touch of anxiety on his face.
Li Gan waved his hand and motioned for him to come in, and then couldn't help asking, "Lord Yu, what's going on, your face doesn't seem to be very good." ”
Seeing Lu Wenbai's anxious face, Li Gan suddenly felt bad.
"Prince, something is wrong. According to the orders of the crown prince, the lower officials distributed the disaster relief money and grain distributed by the imperial court to the rest of the cities and counties in Pingzhou. ”
"Well, isn't that a good thing? With these disaster relief money and food, I believe that the people of the rest of the cities and counties will at least be able to fill their stomachs, and there will not be so many disaster victims. ”
Li Qian nodded, with a smile on his face.
But when Li Gan's eyes looked at Lu Wenbai again, but he saw him spitting, Li Gan couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "What the hell happened, say!" ”
Lu Wenbai was startled by Li Gan's angry shouts, and then trembled, and finally spoke: "Prince, this disaster relief money and food have indeed been distributed, but just now I have received news from many city and county prefects, and they ...... They didn't receive it! ”
"What! It's been a day, how could they not have received it! Did these people deliberately hide the news, or did you not send it at all! ”
When Li Gan heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and he suddenly stood up and questioned.
Lu Wenbai fell to his knees with a puff, and hurriedly shouted injustice.
"Prince, the lower officials have been wronged. The supplies of each city and county have been distributed by the lower officials, and the lower officials have ...... The lower officials don't know why this is ......"
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"
As soon as Lu Wenbai's words fell, an anxious voice suddenly came from outside the house, and Lu Wenbai heard that the owner of this voice was Rao Zhiming.
The moment Lu Wenbai turned around, Rao Zhiming's hurried figure was trotting towards here at this moment, and Li Gan on the side saw this, and immediately waved his hand to let Lu Wenbai stand up.
And when Rao Zhiming just came to the house, before he could speak, he heard Lu Wenbai immediately displeased: "Rao Zhiming, aren't you with the team escorting supplies?" Why are you here? ”
"My lord, it's not good, it's not good!"
Rao Zhiming hurriedly said.
"What's the matter?"
Wen Bai frowned and asked.
"My lord, on the way to escort supplies to the rest of the disaster area, we encountered the looting of the mountain bandits, the brothers were killed and injured countless times, and the disaster relief silver and grain were all snatched away by those mountain bandits!"
As soon as Rao Zhiming's words fell, both Wenbai and Li Gan's faces changed suddenly.
"What a guts! Even dared to snatch the materials for disaster relief from the imperial court, who are these mountain bandits and where did they come from? ”
Li Qian shouted angrily.
"Prince, the villain doesn't know who these mountain bandits are, but these people are obviously prepared, these people are ruthless, there are a lot of people, the guards in charge of escorting have no room to fight back, they all died in the hands of these mountain bandits, if you don't carefully fake your death to deceive these mountain bandits, I'm afraid even the lives of your subordinates will be difficult to protect."
Saying this, Rao Zhiming's face couldn't help but show a look of horror, as if he remembered the cruel methods of those mountain bandits in his mind.
"Bold! Daring! ”
Li Gan was furious, originally thinking that with the help of the disaster relief silver and grain sent by the imperial court, he would be able to solve the problem of Pingzhou, and then slowly thought about how to complete the major project of the south-to-north water diversion.
But now it's good, this disaster relief silver grain was all looted by the mountain bandits, if this matter reaches the ears of the father, after this incident, the father is afraid that he will not have a little trust in him.
I'm afraid that his position as the crown prince will not be guaranteed.
"No, you can't just watch this happen."
Li Gan thought in his heart, and immediately came back to his senses and looked at Lu Wenbai and said, "Lord Lu, no matter what, this disaster relief silver grain cannot be lost, and this prince will give you three days...... No! I only give you one day, and I can't help but find out the identities of these mountain bandits for Prince Ben! Make no mistake! ”
"Huh? Be! The next officer receives the order! ”
Yu Wenbai was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Li Gan's eyes that seemed to be about to eat people, he could only nod his head and agree.
"What? Don't check it out yet? Do you want to stay and let Prince Ben invite you to dinner? ”
Seeing that Yu Wenbai was still standing in place, Li Gan's heart was furious, and he immediately shouted angrily.
Hearing this, Lu Wenbai's legs weakened and he almost fell to the ground, and then hurriedly left the room with Rao Zhiming.
As soon as the two of them went to the courtyard, they heard a sound of smashing in the room, and they did not dare to linger in this place any longer, so they immediately left the mansion.
At this moment, a carriage outside seemed to have been waiting for the two of them for a long time, and the two walked out of the mansion without hesitation, and went straight to the carriage.
And when they went to the carriage, the two who were already frightened suddenly calmed down.
The two looked at each other, then smiled. The expressions of the two of them at this moment were diametrically opposed to what they had seen in front of Li Gan before.
"Let's go!"
As soon as Wen Bo gave the order, the horseman immediately drove the horse away quickly.
