Shangjiang County was shrouded in a gloomy haze.

Food prices have risen to unprecedented heights, and with the fermentation of public opinion, the name Gu Ping'an is notorious, and everyone shouts and beats it.

The main city street is empty, this is the calm before the storm, and the silence contains the endless anger of the people!

Two days at the latest, I'm afraid there will be a big accident!

And the most feared thing between everything is the comparison, why is it only a river away, and the opposite side can buy grain for 80 wen a bucket, but we need 200 wen?

Who is the initiator?

Gu Ping'an!

"Have you had enough? Do you really want to see Shangjiang County devastated in devastation? ”

Qi Fuzun had no choice but to come to the narrow wooden building and roared angrily at Gu Ping'an.

The latter folded his hands on his sleeves, indifferent, and only asked softly:

"Is there a grain merchant from another county at the ferry?"

Qi Renliang's face turned blue with anger, and he scolded:

"Nonsense! Two hundred wen and one bucket of grain, which businessman in the world doesn't want to come to take advantage, not to mention the grain merchants from other counties, the big merchants are all piling up with boats, not only to make our money, but also to hold back enough energy to see your jokes! ”

Gu Ping'an's face did not change, and continued:

"Lao Fu Zun ordered that the iron lock block the river, and the blockade would be lifted in seven days."

"You ......" Qi Renliang felt more and more unreasonable, the price of food could not be controlled, and he had to work hard to do a meaningless thing.

"I'll take the sin on my shoulders." Gu Ping'an glanced at him.

Qi Renliang's anger gradually subsided, and he didn't say a word.

Do you carry?

What do you carry?

In the end, it is nothing more than to weaken the reputation of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and this is the price of trusting you!

Qi Renliang was exhausted, and asked instead:

"The displaced people outside the city are in chaos, the soup kitchen shacks are looted and smashed, and the government government tries every means to persuade them, the rich gentry and wealthy families are just a dime, how do you settle them?"

"I was about to bring it up." Gu Ping'an took out a map of Shangjiang County from his sleeve and pointed to the east side of Shangjiang River:

"This was once a military town, but now it is abandoned, and the terrain has subsided due to years of mining and logging, so it is necessary to rebuild a large embankment, build five outlets on the west side to discharge the floodwater, and fence off the boundary to fill in the rocks......"

Listening to the voice that was not in a hurry or impatient, Qi Renliang calmed down his emotions and nodded while listening, more perfect than his own ideas and strategies, and considering the possible floods in the future.

However, just when he was improving.

One sentence made Qi Renliang creepy.

"Drive all the displaced people there, let them out to the outside world, and bury them all two days later."

Qi Ren's pupils shrank suddenly, staring at him.

Si Qin, who was listening upstairs, shuddered, couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed out.

"You're such a cold-blooded and cruel guy!"

Her voice was high-pitched and a little crying.

was originally disappointed, but now it has turned into despair, Her Royal Highness the princess's important talent is so vicious, how can he say the word "pit buried" lightly?

"Your Highness, you decide."

Qi Renliang shook his head, never thought that the way to settle the displaced people would be "once and for all"? What else is there to communicate with such a conscienceless reader?

The atmosphere was silent for a long time.

It seems that His Highness has been shaken.

"Gao Yu, you are responsible for ensuring that the people are safe."

There was an extremely cold tone from inside the building, and there was a hint of disappointment in it.

"Okay." The middle-aged man walked out of the alley with hoarse vocal cords.

Qi Liangren breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how much he was tested, the bottom line must still be there, otherwise he would be ashamed of the common people and have no shame to face the ancestors and ancestors!

Evening.

Outside the county seat, the four city gates returned to their usual order, thousands of displaced people went to the resettlement sites in batches, dozens of well-trained cavalry maintained discipline, and the officials were responsible for cleaning up the garbage to avoid the spread of the plague.

"Could it be that Gu Gongzi already has a good plan?" The general judge and others gathered around Fu Zun.

"Good strategy, fart!" Qi Renliang rarely burst into foul language, he looked around, and said hatefully:

"The surname Gu is ready to bury the displaced people quietly! If the problem cannot be solved, they simply sacrifice innocent people. ”

What?

It's like a bolt from the blue.

The chief officials of the government were stunned, their faces were incredulous, and then a bone-chilling chill swept over their bodies.

"Don't be joking."

"Ridiculous? This is the truth, the surname Gu is full of conscience! ”

The scalps of the officials were numb, and they couldn't imagine that a person could be so cruel.

"No leaks." Qi Renliang sternly admonished.

However, it was only three moments in the morning, and the news flew all over the county like wings, like a boulder smashing into the deep sea, setting off stormy waves.

The literati, the knights, the rich gentry and the wealthy families all exploded, and even more directly gathered in the government to capture Gu Ping'an, shouting the slogan of "knocking the bones and sucking the marrow, peeling the skin and pulling the grass".

Ironically, a few days ago, when the government came to visit the house, they turned a blind eye to the homeless people, but now they are filled with righteous indignation, as if each homeless person is a treasure in the palm of their hearts.

The entire Shangjiang County fell into a boil, and Gu Ping'an rose to become a big devil full of evil!

……

Early morning.

When the colorful pigeon that traveled thousands of miles at night arrived at the imperial garden, the empress was dining with the queen mother.

Two urgent letters.

Ji Fuyao wiped the corners of his lips with a brocade handkerchief, and after cleaning his hands in the basin, he unfolded the first letter, in which he reported in detail the grain prices in the two counties.

She couldn't hide the smile in her beautiful eyes, and said happily:

"Queen Mother, that one named Gu Ping'an is full of ugliness, and he is smiling and generous."

"Cui Zhuangyuan showed his skills slightly, the grain price of Luojiang County is controlled at eighty Wen and one dou, what do you guess is the grain price of Shangjiang County in Xishu?"

"Ninety?" The Queen Mother said.

The empress paused word by word:

"Two, hundred, Wen!"

The Queen Mother was shocked and speechless for a while.

"Mother, do you still blame your sons? Even a county can get out of control, expecting this kind of rotten Confucianism to rule the country through the world? ”

"On the contrary, Cui Che quickly cut through the chaos, and the situation quickly stabilized, quite a capable minister."

The empress curled the corners of her mouth and said casually.

"One thing is one thing, the mourning family can distinguish between good and evil, can Gu Ping'an be powerless in government, can he deny his identity as the champion?" Too back expressionless.

"Erchen only looks at the results!" After the empress finished speaking, she unfolded the second urgent report, her expression instantly became stunned, puzzled, and finally a happy smile:

"Mother, take a good look and see what is called a femme fatale! What is inherently cruel! ”

The Queen Mother took it, and after reading it, she was speechless for a long time, and her heart seemed to be blocked.

"I'm ready to bury the homeless!"

"It is better for a man to be humble as dust than to be twisted like maggots!"

"His humble background has created his twisted and ruthless character, fortunately, Erchen can distinguish between loyalty and treachery with intuition, good and evil, and when Erchen saw Gu Ping'an for the first time, he felt that this person was vicious."

"Sure enough, trying to slaughter innocent people, how is it different from that of animals?"

"If one day the power is in hand, don't talk about relieving the people of the suffering, the common people will be destroyed in his own thoughts."

The empress was inevitably complacent in her words.

Facts have proven that her choice is so wise and decisive, why can she be the heroine, and she can become the top of the world?

It's the innate ability to discern people!

"The common people are in power from the Hanmen, not overnight, my father is too anxious, I can't wait to see the Hanmen live in the temple, I want to see the foundation of the gate valve collapse, but some things can only be done gradually, and the sons and daughters have done a good job."

In addition to being proud, the empress even compared.

The Queen Mother was speechless and choked, the truth slapped her in the face, the poor person really has something to hate, and she blamed herself and felt guilty at the beginning.

"Fuyao, you're right." She was convinced.

The empress snorted in a nasal voice, and then said in a loud voice:

"Come on, spread the news to Shendu Academy!"

"Yes." The eunuchs tend to lead the way.

The Queen Mother's head.

Shendu Academy, although it is called a academy, there are few scholars in it, but those amazing martial arts Tianjiao of Daqian.

In terms of importance, it is actually far greater than the national eunuch who cultivates civil servants.

In the case of fraud in scientific research, the biggest repercussion of public opinion is Shendu Academy, and those who practice martial arts are already enthusiastic and strong, and it is very easy to be provoked.

The emperor's inspection once a month, this time he didn't want to go, but now as long as Gu Ping'an's crime is announced, those talented young people should know the righteousness.

……

What they didn't know, however, was that the situation in Shangjiang County had turned around overnight.
