As Gu Huai's words fell, the small building fell into a dead silence, and Gu Huai continued to place the chess pieces, without looking at Qingming's flickering eyes.

"What are you thinking about saving them and sending them to death?"

It took a long time for Qingming to break the silence.

Gu Huai thought for a while: "Actually, I didn't like to play chess before. ”

Qingming was stunned, and didn't understand why Gu Huai didn't answer what he asked.

"Probably the pace of life is too fast, and entertainment activities such as playing chess have gradually been eliminated in the future, and now I pick it up again, only to find that the world is like chess, and the four words are indeed reasonable, everyone has what they want, and they can also find correspondence on this vertical and horizontal nineteen roads."

Gu Huai's slender fingers picked up a white child: "What I wanted at the beginning was indeed to cure the plague, make some money easily, and it was best to satisfy everyone, and by the way, pave the way for some things... But some people just don't want me to do such a simple thing, and they desperately want to add to the blockage. ”

"If you don't care about it at the beginning, it's just a matter of hiding in Jiangning City, but now that you have saved your life, the people in the government will force those who can live to die, and you have to fill your own pockets and set up a memorial arch, so it involves a very simple problem."

He raised his head, the expression on his face mixed with confusion and coldness: "Why? ”

"Why should those people outside the city have to die? Why do they think this is a good opportunity to make a fortune? Why should the lives I saved become worthless to them? ”

Qingming frowned: "What exactly do you want to say?" ”

"One has no power and two power, I didn't even have money a few days ago, there are many things I want to manage and want to do in the world, but I can't interfere, I have to borrow money to open a shop, and I have to find people everywhere to help me when I do business, not only have to carry the black pot but also have to grovel to give away many things, as a result, their appetite is getting bigger and bigger, but I don't even have the strength to resist, this feeling of only hiding behind the scenes and then being lifted by someone else is like..."

"Rats in the gutter." Qingming is concise and to the point.

Gu Huai was stunned, and then laughed: "Yes, the rat in the gutter, so I sent a disgraceful invitation to the government and asked them to accompany me to play a game of chess." ”

"Playing chess?"

"The best outcome for the refugees outside the city is to die another batch in the government's disaster relief efforts, so I made another choice for them, and then forced one person to the opposite side of the chessboard."

"Who?"

Gu Huai retracted his gaze and reached into the chess box:

"Jiangning Mansion Yin."

……

The shouting and killing at the city gate soon caused a commotion in Jiangning City, and the streets were full of running figures, and from time to time there were voices shouting rebellion, but an official sedan chair rushed to the direction of the city gate against the chaotic and crowded flow of people, and an old hand opened the sedan curtain, listening to the report of the person wearing armor immediately.

“... After many days of stability, the guards of the city were a little slack, and today they let people go out of the city gate to ask for a diagnosis and soup porridge, so that those people took advantage of the loopholes, rushed into the city gate, and also seized the weapons of the guards of the city. ”

The face of the general defending the city on horseback was a little ugly: "Although the last general timely dispatched soldiers to block those Diao people near the city gate and did not let them mix into the houses, if you want to recapture the city gate... It is inevitable that the knife will be used. ”

There was no sound coming from the official sedan chair, and the generals who followed closely became more and more anxious, and after a long time, the old face of Jiangning Mansion Yin was revealed behind the curtain:

"Knife?"

"This is already a rebellion, more and more people have crowded into the city gates, and if there is no blood, it is impossible to suppress it in a short time."

"Suppressing by killing, the nature has changed," Jiangning Mansion Yin sighed, "Has the reason been clarified?" ”

"I caught a few Diao people and asked them out of their mouths, as if it was the sloppy relief of these days that made them resentful, and today's soup soup was too scarce..."

"Think about it carefully, and then answer the official."

The general was slightly stunned and didn't react for a while.

But fortunately, the local city guards of Daqian, unlike the northern side, are really martial arts characters who want to use knives to cut people, most of them are literate and literate, and the officialdom is naturally much better than those rough people, and followed the official sedan chair for a distance, and the generals on the horse understood what Jiangning Mansion Yin was talking about:

"It should have been just a coincidence?"

"Huh?"

The old man's voice drew an abyss-like arc in the air, and the general was excited, and his voice was categorical: "At the beginning, there were only a few people who broke into the city gate, and none of them had weapons, unlike planning in advance, and now there are many people outside the city gate who are watching, and the general can be sure that they are indeed just dissatisfied and want to enter the city." ”

The air was still not relaxed, and Jiangning Mansion Yin shook his head: "The people who are scattered in the sand, if there is no one to encourage them, how can they make such a move?" No matter how dissatisfied they are, they will only endure it... This matter must be investigated, find out clearly! ”

"Yes!"

"But in the end, it's the disaster relief that's wrong... Greedy everywhere, all greedy, from the court to the locality, one by one even dared to stretch out his hand to provide disaster relief grain and silver, could it be that the imperial history that was ordered to be inspected this year was not busy enough? This official is busy with official business, and he didn't ask about this matter recently, so he made them poke out a big basket! If this matter reaches the capital, why will the official return to Beijing in the future to deal with himself in the court? ”

Jiangning Mansion Yin snorted coldly: "Jiangning has been an important town since ancient times, but a group of people are helpless, a big joke!" The official only gives you one hour, maintain order in the city, clear the city gate, and capture the first evil, if something goes wrong, the official is the only one who asks! ”

"But how can you not use force..."

"Can you afford to stir up a civil uprising? What this official wants is to minimize the impact of this matter! As for how you want to do it, do you still need the official to teach you? ”

The general's face became more and more ugly, but he still gave up his hand and rode to the city gate first, the old hand put down the sedan curtain, Jiangning Mansion Yin retracted his gaze, looked at the government affairs that had not yet been dealt with, and his eyes became a little colder.

It's a strange thing... But the handwriting is too rough, not like those political opponents can do, since ancient times civil officials attacked, where would such clumsy methods be used? As long as it does not provoke a popular uprising and raise the banner of rebellion, how much impact can this incident have on him?

But after all, it's the disgusting feeling like the yellow mud falling off the crotch of the pants... He has served as the Yin of Jiangning Mansion for seven years, and it is no surprise that he will return to Beijing this year, and he is destined to go further when the time comes.

As soon as he thought of this, the calmness of the politician inevitably turned into a killing intent, and some people in the yamen... It's time to settle the score, so as to make room for some shadows before leaving.

But if it weren't for the work of political opponents, and it wasn't like an accident, then this strange thing everywhere...

Who's from it?
