Chapter 203: Enveloping
The outrageous rumors spread day by day, and the money, food, and escorts for disaster relief had indeed disappeared, and officials in various places, including Liu Jinchang, could not take out the disaster relief money and food issued by the imperial court to appease the victims, and the victims inevitably resented because of this.
In order to avoid the outbreak of large-scale civil unrest, the imperial court had to deal with the officials involved in the case who caused the negative emotions of the victims in accordance with the law.
Rao is Liu Jinchang, the brother-in-law of Lu Wei, the third room of the Lu family, and the real Lu family's friends, and the Lu family does not dare to protect him on the cusp of the current storm.
But if they don't protect Liu Jinchang, Liu Jinchang's hope for life will undoubtedly become extremely slim.
Liu Jinchang is unwilling, he hasn't gotten any benefits, why do these people want him to be beheaded because of the loss of disaster relief money and food?
Don't talk to him about the overall situation, to put it bluntly, doesn't this group of people just want to trade his death for those guys who are also reaching out for disaster relief money and food? Why? Why did he sacrifice himself for the sake of the so-called overall situation of the Lu family?
He had the heart to bite out those people too, not to mention anything else, at least these people could help him share the blame, but before he could put this idea into action, the master Wang who he had always relied on and trusted had already been ordered to kill him.
What Liu Jinchang didn't know was that this Master Wang was actually his good brother-in-law, that is, Lu Wei of the Lu family's third room, who was specially arranged to his side, and he wouldn't know that the Lu family actually installed characters like Master Wang around many of their "own people".
Usually, these people will be the most reliable right-hand men of the Lu clan's "own people", but once the Lu clan needs to abandon the pawn to protect the commander, these people will be a sharp knife inserted into the chest of the Lu clan's "own people".
As for Liu Jinchang's wife and children, as soon as Liu Jinchang dies, who can they rely on except for the Lu family?
You must know that Liu Jinchang died in the name of greedy money and food for disaster relief, and with his stigma in front of him, even if his wife and children return to the Liu family, Liu Jinchang's clansmen will definitely not treat them well.
For the sake of the children's future and family affairs, Liu Jinchang's wife, no matter what she thinks in her heart, wants to have a good relationship with the Lu family anyway.
With the full cooperation of Liu Jinchang's henchmen, the Lu clan successfully completed their action of abandoning the pawns and protecting the commander, and those rats who had eaten nearly half of the disaster relief money and food escaped the punishment of the law once again without danger.
At this time, they didn't know that the large and small warehouses in their house had been completely looted by mysterious thieves because of their greed for ink.
And the mysterious thief who ransacked their treasury was also rushing to the capital at this time.
Those disaster relief money and food that were greedy by Liu Jinchang in the plot of the original book, at this time, Yu Zizhen's subordinates, as well as the warriors and dart masters who gathered to Yu Zizhen because of Chen Qing and Zheng Yuzhi, sold them to the people at a low price and a limited amount under the banner of a mysterious caravan.
When acting with the dart masters in the name of "greedy wolf", Yu Zizhen was asked such a question by Zheng Yuzhi.
She asked Yu Zizhen, "Why don't you give these relief money and food to the affected people for free?" ”
Yu Zizhen knew what Zheng Yuzhi was thinking, but she really couldn't do it, she sighed, "Because Shizi can't explain why she has so much money and food for her to be a good money boy." ”
Who would dare to give it for free? Is it because he is afraid that the court will not suspect him? It's not such a way to find death.
This answer was simple and unpretentious, but Zheng Yuzhi instantly understood that Yu Zizhen and her subordinates did have a hard time.
She was a little ashamed of her thoughtfulness and villain's heart, "It's me who thinks things too simply." ”
Yu Zizhen didn't blame her, before she came into contact with Zheng Yuzhi, Yu Zizhen already knew what kind of character she was, and she would ask such a question, Yu Zizhen was actually not surprised at all.
She assured Zheng Yuzhi as a "greedy wolf", "The disaster relief money and grain allocated by the imperial court, except for the inevitable losses during transportation, the rest of the prince has instructed us to be sure to use all of them on these victims." ”
"If Miss Zheng can't trust us, you can send more of your fellow disciples to act with us. Otherwise, you can write a letter to the prince in person, asking to check the general ledger of the relief operation. ”
Yu Zizhen's tone was gentle and sincere, and she didn't mean to be angry or sarcastic, but the more she was like this, the more ashamed Zheng Yuzhi became.
She waved her hand again and again, "No need, I can trust the son of the world, and I can trust you." ”
Yu Zizhen smiled at her, and then patiently explained to her, "Doing good is not an easy task, and there are many ill-intentioned eyes in this world staring at our son. Although our sons have good intentions, we can't compensate ourselves just because we pity the victims, right? ”
Relying on his other face at the time, Yu Zizhen was very thick-skinned and took the opportunity to brush up his favor for the "son".
"You also know that she is the only noble official in this world who is willing to give everything she has to find a way for ordinary people to live."
"If she has three strengths and two weaknesses, who do you think in this world would do such things as she did, at the risk of her own disaster?"
Zheng Yuzhi was moved to tears.
She thinks that what "greedy wolf" said is too right, isn't there only Yu Zizhen in this world who is willing to make a living for ordinary people.
No, such a person, she has to protect him well, and she must not let him go through the ordeal because of his rare kindness.
Thinking so, Zheng Yuzhi immediately asked Chen Qing to tell the owner of the dart game and the owner of the martial arts hall who knew a little bit of the inside story again, and he must definitely keep his mouth shut about this matter.
The owner of the martial arts hall is Zheng Yuzhi's father, so after making up his mind to tear his face with Liu Jinchang, Zheng Yuzhi took his relatives and fellow disciples out of Cangzhou Prefecture.
These are all powerful martial artists that Yu Zizhen has coveted for a long time, and now that the opportunities have been sent to her face, of course she must seize the time to recruit them.
With Zheng Yuzhi, a person who has a very heavy filter for the "son", Yu Zizhen, who is in the middle of the matchmaking, lobbying as a guarantee, and recruiting talents for the "prince" as a "greedy wolf", easily persuaded the martial arts and the martial arts players in the dart game.
Of course, this is also related to the lucrative conditions she has given to this group of warriors.
After getting what she wanted, Yu Zizhen did not continue to stay in Cangzhou, she sorted out a collection of locust extermination methods that were exchanged with system points overnight and suitable for this era, and handed it over to Lu Mingxuan, Zheng Yuzhi and others who remained behind to continue to be responsible for disaster relief, and told them to pay attention to killing locusts, and then took her four guards and quickly returned to the capital.
