Chapter 413: The Hexagram of the Great Murderer
At the Tongfu Inn in Yangqu County, a group of forbidden soldiers sat on the first floor, looking at the pouring rain outside.
It has been raining for three days and three nights.
Not only did it not decrease by half, but it also gave people a feeling that they were going to grow old in the future.
A forbidden soldier couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of the counter, "Money shopkeeper, does it always rain so heavily in your Yangqu County?" ”
Suddenly asked about his head, the money shopkeeper in a stone blue robe stretched out his hand and pulled the abacus, raised his head and glanced in everyone's direction, before shaking his head and said, "No, Xiao Lao'er is forty-nine years old this year, and it is the first time I have seen such a heavy rainstorm in a row." ”
The forbidden soldier who asked frowned, "Then it seems that we are unlucky, this is the first time we came to Yangqu County, and we were trapped by this torrential rain." ”
The money shopkeeper didn't say anything, but he heard the sound of the rain in his ears, and suddenly he was not in the mood to make a plan, so he turned his head to look out of the door.
It's not like there hasn't been such a heavy rainstorm in the past, but at most it stopped after a few hours, and I have never tried to rain for three days and three nights in a row.
Although this group was trapped in the inn, they could earn more money. But if the rainstorm continues to fall like this, it is not a good thing.
When their inn was first built, they chose this higher ground and did not get flooded by the rain. But in other places, I'm afraid it's not so lucky.
Especially those poor families, who don't have much money to repair their houses on weekdays. It must have been a rainstorm outside, and there was rain leaking inside the house.
In this cold winter, it was already cold, and the rain kept falling, and I don't know how many old people and orphans couldn't bear it and froze to death and starved to death.
And the crops in the field are probably going to be drowned.
On top of that, food prices will rise.
The more the money shopkeeper thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, no, he had to ask people to hurry up and buy some food back, otherwise his inn would also be affected.
The more I am afraid, the more I am afraid.
The shopkeeper was worried that the inn was not having enough food, so Master Li, who was in charge of the inn, hurriedly ran over, "Shopkeeper Qian, the grain stored in the cellar is only enough to eat today, if you don't buy some food back, you will have to stop tomorrow." ”
The money shopkeeper was about to tell Master Li not to worry, he immediately asked people to buy grain. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, the Dou steward in charge of the purchase frowned and strode into the inn.
"Money shopkeeper, all the grain stores in the county are closed, hurry up and send someone to deliver a letter to the owner to see if you can bring us some grain."
The wrinkles on the forehead of the money shopkeeper can trap flies, and he said in disbelief, "What are you talking about, all the grain stores in the county are closed?" Is this true, or is it a rumor? ”
Don't blame the money shopkeeper for the accident, this is something that has never happened before.
Steward Dou's face was very bad, he had just come back from the rain outside, the hem of his robe was all wet, he was cold and hungry, but he couldn't take care of these things at the moment.
"Money shopkeeper, this matter is true. In the morning I saw that there was not much grain in the cellar, and I thought I would go to the grain store and buy some back. Who knew that I ran all the seven or eight grain stores in the county, and none of them opened.
I finally found the owners of two grain stores, and when I asked, I realized that there was not much food in their stores. Seeing the rains that had rained for three days, they were worried that they would not be able to buy food, and that they would have no food to eat. Therefore, they will not sell the rest of the grain, but keep it for themselves. ”
"I wanted to ask them to sell us some grain, but the proprietors wouldn't. Money shopkeeper, hurry up and let someone send a letter to the owner. ”
The money shopkeeper's face became more and more ugly, "As far as I know, the owner does not have much grain in his hands. Moreover, he is in Huaifu, the road is far away and it is raining heavily, even if there is food, there is no way to send it to us. ”
At this time, not only the money shopkeeper and Dou steward were worried, but even those forbidden troops couldn't sit still. Without food, they would starve.
Everyone got up one after another to find Commander Pang.
After listening to everyone's words, Commander Pang also had a headache. They are outnumbered and have no food, which is very difficult.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, which is not something that can be done well with money.
Commander Pang hesitated, and could only inform the emperor of the matter.
"No food? Are all the grain stores in the county closed? "The emperor's face is not much better than that of the money shopkeeper, he has been trapped here for three days by the torrential rain, and he is in a bad mood.
After thinking for a while, the emperor instructed Commander Pang, "Pass the order, pack up your things, and set off immediately." ”
Since they didn't even have food to stay here, it was better to keep on their way and buy some dry food somewhere else.
It's still raining so heavily at the moment, how can you hurry? Commander Pang wanted to persuade the emperor, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.
The emperor is in a hurry to leave, if he speaks to persuade him, the emperor will definitely be unhappy, and he may not listen. But as soon as the emperor recovered from his illness, he hurried in the rain, and it would be bad if there were three long and two short.
Sun Yuanzheng and Ning Guogong also disagreed.
"Your Majesty, such a heavy rain, even if you take a carriage, you can't stop it."
"The emperor has just had a fever, but he can't endure the cold anymore, otherwise the illness will recur."
was trapped for three days, and the emperor didn't want to stay at all.
"You don't need to persuade again, I have made up my mind. Although the rain is heavy, it will not continue to fall, and there will always be a time to stop. ”
"Commander Pang, give the order, and set off in half an hour. In addition, he sent a letter to Yan Wu and asked him to open a warehouse to release grain to help the people of Yangqu County survive this heavy rain.
There is no grain in the grain store in Yangqu County, and the emperor can leave with people. But as the emperor of a country, he can't ignore the people of Yangqu County.
However, as soon as the emperor's words fell, Ning Chuyi happened to come in quickly from outside, "The government officials of Yangqu County went to the empty building, and Yan Wu and his family members were nowhere to be found. ”
It has been raining for so long, and Ning Chuyi is also worried. Early this morning, I took people to check around Yangqu County, and later found that all the grain stores were closed, and those ordinary people who couldn't buy grain were panicking.
So he planned to go to the county magistrate Yan Wu and ask him to open a warehouse to release grain. Who knew that when he arrived at the county office, he found that Yan Wu and the county were nowhere to be found.
The other officials in the county government are still there, but no one knows where Yan Wu and the county have gone.
Ning Chuyi found the granary again, but found that the grain bags in the granary were full of sand and soil, and there was not half a grain in it.
The emperor's face was pale, "Let someone send a message to Wu Jie, the prefect of Bingzhou, and transfer some grain to Yangqu County." Yan Wu's affairs were handed over to Wu Jie to deal with. ”
"Your Majesty, it's too late."
Hearing the familiar voice, everyone subconsciously turned their heads, and saw Ling Chu crossing the threshold with a white face.
The emperor frowned and looked at Ling Chu in confusion, "Why did the county lord of Jiashan say this?" ”
"Your Majesty, I just had a hexagram, a big murderer. According to the hexagram, the torrential rain in Yangqu County will cause the upstream Honghu Lake to burst its embankment. We must leave Yangqu immediately, or we will be drowned. ”
