There is food in the hand, and there is no panic in the heart.

Back at the county office, Yang You was already waiting for him in the flower hall.

After the meeting, Yang You reported the situation.

"My lord, the students have made arrangements, and tomorrow Baozheng and Lizheng, who are responsible for arranging the rain gods, will bring the villagers to the county government to report."

"Mr. Yang, you have done a good job, and the official has made a great contribution to you."

After Li Xing finished speaking, he suddenly thought of another thing: "By the way, tomorrow notify the people who have been forcibly requisitioned food, let them come to the county to receive some nutritious food, and when the matter of praying for rain is resolved, the official will compensate them more." ”

"Adults love the people, and students admire it."

Yang You saw that Li Xing had not forgotten those people, and he was even more determined to follow Li Xing.

He decided to tell Li Xing some secrets that only he and the victims knew.

"My lord, there is something that the student has hidden from you, and the student has to confess."

"Oh, please."

People are interested in other people's secrets, and Li Xing is no exception, with curiosity in his eyes.

"My lord, Master Liu is not a good person, and it is not as simple as embezzling Xuetian, those young and middle-aged people in the village who went out to escape the famine were all caught by them in an unknown iron ore field."

Li Xing, who was still curious just now, couldn't help but look solemn.

What does this Master Liu want to do?

He even arrested people to dig iron ore.

Didn't he know that mining iron ore without permission was like rebellion?

"Is there any hard evidence?"

Li Xing asked, this matter is very important, and he does not dare to be sloppy in the slightest.

If this matter is reported to the imperial court, it will inevitably cause a shock to the upper echelons, and if there is a little mistake, it will not be a credit, but a catastrophe.

Yang You nodded and shook his head.

Li Xing was directly blinded by him.

"Mr. Yang, what do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?"

"Alas!"

Yang You couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

"Half a month ago, my cousin sneaked back to the village and told me about it, but seven days ago, my uncle's family all died violently."

"The students felt that this matter was extremely strange, so they wanted to use the reason of the official army to loot food, infiltrate Liu's house to find out the news of the villagers who fled the famine, collect evidence, and avenge their uncle's family."

After listening to Yang You's words, Li Xingxin said, this is all right.

He had sensed something was wrong.

It stands to reason that Yang You, as a showman, should not be sold into slavery even if he is deducted.

Now that everything is clear, he wants to avenge his uncle's family.

Li Xing patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Mourning, but the method of getting into the Liu Mansion to find evidence is not feasible, you are a scholar, and if you are discovered, you will die a miserable death." ”

"What the adults said is that the students are very scared when they think about it now, but fortunately they met the adults."

Yang You saluted Li Xing again.

"Mr. Yang, go back and have a good rest, and when the prayer for rain is over, the official will definitely seek justice for your uncle's family."

"Yes, sir."

Yang You saw Li Xing's promise, his face showed joy, he answered, and slowly retreated.

Li Xing sat on a chair and sorted out these things.

In the end, he decided not to report to the emperor first, and wrote to his cheap father Xing Guogong first to ask what he meant.

So he went back to his study and quickly wrote a letter home.

Of course, this is not just about iron ore.

He also kicked out the matter of praying for rain and his plan to open a position for work relief and restore people's livelihood in the future, hoping that Xing Guogong would help at a critical time.

After finishing writing, Li Xing called the dog and asked him to deliver it to Xing Guogong as quickly as possible.

When he woke up the next day, Li Xing was obviously stunned when he saw that Li Gou'er was still waiting for him to wash.

"You didn't deliver it yourself?"

"The master explained, let the dog never leave the young master, the person who delivered the letter at the post station is a person from our country's mansion, and he can be trusted."

Li Gou'er explained while helping Li Xing hand over the towel.

Li Xingdu was a little shocked by this explanation.

What is the identity of your father?

With the identity of Xing Guogong alone, I am afraid that he will not be able to arrange his own family in various post stations.

Shocked to shocked, he also knew that he couldn't ask Li Gou'er about this, even if he did, Li Gou'er might not necessarily tell him the truth.

He took the towel and wiped his face and neck.

replied lightly: "It's good to be trustworthy." ”

In ancient times, it was generally two meals a day, and in the year of the great drought, the people were barely alive by eating one meal a day.

Li Xing thought that he was going to the Chenghuang Temple to transport potatoes today, and the farmers and people who came here probably didn't have anything to eat.

So Li Xing asked Li Gou'er to arrange the porridge cooking, so that those peasant households could eat enough in the county government first, and then go to transport potatoes.

"Young master, Mr. Yang has already made arrangements, and several cauldrons have been set up overnight, just waiting for the old man to order the corn to be put in."

"Then what are you still doing in a daze, go and inform Mr. Yang, don't wait for me, start boiling porridge now, the kind that doesn't fall down when chopsticks are inserted."

Li Xing was even more satisfied with Yang You's approach this time.

Operate in advance without involving ultra vires.

"Yes, young master."

Li Gou'er hurriedly trotted out of the county office and went to order.

Li Xing did not follow, but sat in a chair and began to think about the process of transporting and planting potatoes in his head.

After all, this is related to the success or failure of the mission, plus the City God Temple in Lingwu County is different from other places.

The City God Temple in other places is in the city, but the City God Temple in Lingwu is outside the city, and it is placed five kilometers away from the county seat.

So Li Xing had to be cautious, went through it in his mind several times, and felt that there was no big problem, so he got up.

As soon as I looked up, I found that Li Gou'er had returned.

"How long have I just been sitting?"

Li Xing asked.

"Almost a stick of incense."

Li Gou'er was in a daze with the young master alone, and he had long been surprised, so he didn't bother.

Now the young master asked, and he answered truthfully.

Li Xing didn't expect it, thought about the problem for a while, and spent about half an hour.

asked Li Gou'er: "Have you all arrived?" ”

"Except for some of the Baozheng and Lizheng, the peasant households have basically arrived."

Li Gou'er actually just returned, so he wanted to tell Li Xing about it, but when he saw Li Xing in a daze, he didn't say anything.

"What's going on?"

This part that should not be the most problematic part went wrong.

Li Xing realized that something was wrong.

"Those farmers said that Baozheng and Lizheng had an emergency and couldn't come today."

Li Gou'er reported truthfully, without any personal speculation on his part.

"It's still possible for one person or two, so many people, that's pure nonsense, it seems that someone doesn't want us to pray for rain successfully."

When Li Xing spoke, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a touch of murderous intent: "It seems that I am still too kind, young master." ”
