Chapter 30: A joke within a joke!

"Tell me anything!"

Zhou Chaozheng's face was impatient, and he urged him.

When the soldier at the door heard this, he hurriedly walked in, for fear that the governor would be angry and implicate himself.

When he came in, he saluted respectfully, and then said, "Lord Governor! Just now, a person from the Yundian Marquis Mansion said that there is a letter for you to read. ”

Zhou Chaozheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Read it to me!" At this juncture, what the hell is the Marquis of Yundian going to do? Don't take out the food for disaster relief, and still have the heart to send me a letter? ”

The soldiers who came to report did not dare to be slack in the slightest, and hurriedly opened the letter, and then opened his mouth to read it.

"Recently, the bandit plague has been serious, and the locust plague is also very serious, I heard that a large number of victims have gathered in the southern Yunnan Mansion, considering that the governor may lack food for the victims, in order to share the worries, for the distribution of food for disaster relief, my Yundian Marquis Mansion can help to solve the current urgent need for the southern Yunnan Mansion, but there is a requirement, that is, the governor needs to return all my slaves to me."

"In addition, Yunnan Mansion has to come up with three thousand taels of silver as compensation! Come and compensate for the few family members who were injured by your Yunnan Mansion before. ”

After reading the contents of the letter, the government soldier also added: "Lord Governor, this inscription is written about Qianfeng!" ”

After listening, Zhou Chaozheng was even more furious! He scolded: "Qianfeng! What a good one! In times of such a crisis, they still come to me and ask me for money to be willing to help! What a guts! ”

Zhou Chaozheng was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and at this moment, he hated Qianfeng!

The soldiers below were furious when they saw Zhou Chaozheng, and they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to make a sound, and stood aside in a proper manner.

Zhou Chaozheng smashed and scolded, and after venting for a while, he gradually calmed down, and he thought that what Qianfeng said in the letter could help him solve his urgent needs, which also meant that during this locust plague, there was still a lot of surplus grain in the Yundian Marquis' Mansion! Not affected by the disaster!

After reacting, Zhou Chaozheng understood that he was now in Qianfeng's strategy!

The Yundian Marquis Mansion deliberately released the news before that they had sent 10,000 stone of grain to the Yunnan Mansion, and from this time on, it was the first step of the Qianfeng plan!

In this way, most of the bandits can be concentrated around Yunnan Mansion to grab the food of Yunnan Province, and after the locust plague appears, Yundian Houfu can use the food that he has already sent to Yunnan Mansion 10,000 stone as a reason to drive all the victims to the direction where Yunnan City is located, and the victims will pour into Yunnan City, and he Yundian Houfu will be able to avoid this disaster very well!

And now, he took advantage of the crisis in Yunnan Mansion to stand up and blackmail him!

Zhou Chaozheng suddenly realized that his hatred for Qianfeng was a little deeper, and he also hated himself for underestimating Qianfeng!

He now has an urge to eat Qian Fengsheng alive!

"Qianfeng! Yundian Marquis Mansion, you wait for me! ”

Zhou Chaozheng gritted his teeth and said, secretly swearing in his heart that when the food problem caused by the locust disaster is solved, he must take good care of the Yundian Marquis Mansion!

When Zhou Chao was upright, there was an urgent report from a government soldier outside!

"Report! Lord Governor! Frontier Land Urgent! ”

As soon as he heard that it was the border army, Zhou Chaozheng's heart chuckled, and suddenly a bad premonition arose!

Urgent report from the border army? Could it be that there is a problem at the border and there is a foreign enemy attacking?

The more Zhou Chaozheng thought about it, the more stunned he became! If there is a foreign enemy coming, then the matter will become more and more serious, and now there are internal and external troubles, and this southern Yunnan has really become a place of right and wrong.

With a nervous mood, Zhou Chaozheng hurriedly spoke: "Hurry up and submit the letter!" ”

The government soldiers received the order, stepped forward in a few steps, and handed over the urgent report sent by the border army to Zhou Chaozheng.

Zhou Chaozheng opened it and saw that what was written in the letter was that in several counties and counties on the border, grain and porridge were put away, and now the granaries in various places are almost bottoming out, so they jointly wrote a letter to ask for grain from the southern Yunnan city!

After reading it, Zhou Chaozheng was immediately relieved to learn that there was no foreign enemy, but he couldn't ignore the fact that there was no food in several counties, otherwise when Lord Qincha arrived, if he learned about it, he would definitely suffer.

After thinking about it, Zhou Chaozheng could only compromise Qianfeng's request in the end, so he instructed the soldiers: "You go and send those slaves who are detained together in the palace to the Yundian Marquis Mansion now!" As for the three thousand taels of silver that Qianfeng asked for, you can tell him for me, saying that after he solves the food crisis first, the official will personally give this silver! ”

"Yes, sir!"

The government soldiers surrendered their orders!

……

Inside the Mansion of the Marquis of Yundian.

More than 100 slaves who were detained in the southern Yunnan Mansion were sent to the Hou Mansion, and the government soldiers who took the lead also found Qianfeng at this time.

The soldiers saluted Qianfeng, and then said: "Master Hou, the slave you bought, now I have sent it back to you as required, and I also ask Lord Hou to send grain to solve the food crisis in Southern Yunnan Mansion!" ”

Qianfeng frowned and asked, "What about the three thousand taels of silver I want?" Did you bring it with you? ”

The soldiers replied: "Return to the Hou Ye!" Our governor said that after you help solve the food crisis in southern Yunnan City, I will personally arrange for people to send 3,000 taels of silver as compensation! ”

Hearing this, Qianfeng couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha!"

After the laughter stopped, Qianfeng's gaze suddenly became cold, and he said sharply: "Go back and tell your Lord Governor!" This slave was originally purchased by my Yundian Marquis Mansion with money, and the Yunnan Mansion detained my slave for no reason, and now I have returned it, which is reasonable! Because it's mine! ”

"If you want to solve the urgent need of Southern Yunnan City, hurry up and send three thousand taels of silver to our Yundian Marquis Mansion, otherwise, everything will not be discussed!"

When the soldiers heard this, they were unwilling, and he said: "Master Hou! The common people of southern Yunnan are still hungry and in dire straits, can't you help first? ”

Hearing this, Qianfeng originally wanted to directly blast this southern Yunnan soldier away, but after thinking about it, this government soldier seemed to have put the responsibility for the disaster on his head, and this thought was not good for him, so he said: "Looking for me to help?" Didn't I make it clear to you, the Governor? Return my slaves, and compensation, and help solve the urgent need! ”

"And! I'm just the Marquis of Yundian's mansion! It's not the Yunnan Mansion! Your Governors didn't care about the locust plague in the early days! What do I have to do with the current situation?! ”
