Chapter 46: Tripartite Forces
And what are the identities of the two people I saw in the abandoned courtyard last night?
Did they have anything to do with the loss of the disaster relief silver? Did they interfere in Shen Shi'an's death?
One problem after another appeared in Liu Yu's mind, and he thought about it for a long time but didn't come up with a solution. There were too few people around her to ask for the news.
It didn't take long for the carriage to start its journey again, and Liu Yu simply didn't want to be confused. For now, it is more important to settle the victims first, and to solve the food problems of the victims.
Liu Yu acted as a grain transport officer to go to the disaster area, and the states and counties passing by did not dare to intercept the news, and it took nearly two days for the group to come to Gwangju, where the disaster was most serious.
When the prefect learned that the food for disaster relief had arrived in Gwangju, the prefect hurriedly led people out of the yamen of the state capital and knelt down to greet him.
Liu Yu, who got down from the carriage, asked them to get up and ordered them to quickly distribute the grain to the counties, and asked the county commanders of each county to send people to set up tents and give porridge to treat the victims.
The prefect did not dare to slack off, so he immediately ordered people to count the grain, and added 30 carts from the granary of the state capital, and redistributed the grain according to the severity of the disaster in each county, and sent it to the counties.
Liu Yu watched these officials busy from the sidelines and did not speak. After the prefect sent the grain cart away, he came to ask for the guilt and said, "The lower officials are sloppy, please forgive me!"
"There is no need to talk about these false courtesies, the disaster situation is important. Liu Yu replied with a wave of his hand.
After speaking, Liu Yu raised his feet and walked towards the prefect's office, and the prefect immediately followed. After only a few steps, Liu Yu found a person who made her strange.
This person is in his twenties, his pale face does not have a trace of blood, and he is very conspicuous in the crowd in a muddy official uniform. The boots on his feet were soaked with water, and he was shivering from the cold.
Liu Yu walked up to him and said, "Who are you?" ”
When this person saw the figure in front of him, he knew that he was asking him, so he raised his head and said to Liu Yu: "When he was under the official, Henan pressed Fan Jinwen to meet Lord Qincha. ”
"You are Fan Jinwen, how could you make yourself like this? Go down and change your clothes first, don't catch a cold again. ”
Liu Yu learned that he was Fan Jinwen, so he asked him to change the clothes on his body first and then talk back.
Fan Jinwen thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Qincha!"
Liu Yu saw that Fan Jin retreated and walked in the direction of the outside of the city, and asked the prefect strangely: "Why did Lord Fan go in the direction of the outside of the city?"
"If you go back to Lord Qincha, Lord Fan lives in an inn, and this inn is a mile away from the city gate, so you have to go in the direction of the city gate. ”
"Oh, go back first! Ben Chin also went to the inn to rest, and I will talk about it tomorrow. ”
Liu Yu asked the guards to follow Fan Jinwen in the carriage and let him get in the carriage and go to the inn together.
Fan Jinwen was tired after a day of work, and it was really difficult to walk, so he pushed the boat and got into the carriage.
Coming to the inn where Fan Jinwen lived, Liu Yu got out of the carriage. The sharp-eyed Xiao Er immediately came up to welcome Liu Yu and the others in, and instructed the men to drive the carriage to the backyard and feed the horses with forage.
Led by Xiao Er, she walked into the inn, Liu Yu looked at the environment in the inn, and it was really incomparable with the Fulai Inn where she had stayed.
There is only a small courtyard in the inn, and there are three sects and nine streams in the hall, and there are many people, and it is very noisy.
Xiao Er saw that Liu Yu was dressed extraordinarily, and there was a person in official uniform behind him, so he took them to the private room upstairs.
Although Fan Jinwenxuan's inn is not good, he also lives on the second floor. No matter how he said it, he was also a third-grade official, and he couldn't lose his identity as an official.
Xiao Er took Liu Yu to the largest room on the second floor, Liu Yu took a brief look, and the inside was quite clean.
In addition to Liu Yu's current room, Liu Yu also set the three rooms around her together, anyway, she is not short of silver, and she doesn't care about ordering a few more rooms.
Liu Yu had already arranged the other two rooms, one of which was arranged by Fan Jinwen to live with the He guards who came with her.
The other room is used for a few people's meetings, and the rest is used as a place for eating.
Fan Jinwen saw that this young Lord Qincha spent money lavishly, and he disagreed very much.
But he didn't show it, but he also put her in Lu Zhizhong's line.
Liu Yu didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise she would definitely have to shout: wronged, she just didn't want to wronged herself.
Several people went back to their rooms to clean up, and agreed to go to another room together at dinner time. Liu Yu entered the room and tied the door, went to the space to soak in the spiritual spring, and relieved the fatigue of the day.
When the time was about right, Liu Yu changed her clothes and went to the next room to eat.
Since he didn't eat a few bites of dry food at noon, Liu Yu ordered a few more dishes in the evening and asked Fan Jinwen about his taste. The other party replied to her: "Don't pick, just eat enough." ”
Liu Yu swallowed a sentence, so he simply didn't ask, ordered a few of his favorite foods, and ordered them each a signature dish of the inn.
The guard surnamed He, who came with Liu Yu, couldn't get used to Fan Jinwen's straightforward temper, and choked with him and said, "Lord Qincha is sympathetic to us as subordinates, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people. No wonder it was sent to the state capital. ”
Liu Yu saw that what the guard said was a bit excessive, and hurriedly coughed, and the He guard quickly stopped talking when he heard it.
Liu Yu saw that Fan Jinwen's face was not very good, and hurriedly said: "Master Fan, don't worry about him as a reckless man, Ben Qin knows that you are a pragmatic official."
They were also transferred from the capital, and many of the jobs were limited by local officials and were not easy to carry out.
This time, Ben Qincha was ordered to come to Henan to provide disaster relief, and because the time is too short, he does not know much about the situation in various parts of Henan, can he tell Ben Qincha about the current situation after dinner?"
Fan Jinwen didn't want to deal with Liu Yu, but just now when he saw him relieve himself, he knew that this young man was too bad.
It's not the kind of nine villains who are above the top, so they agree in their hearts that Liu Yu really came to disaster relief and investigate the case.
After changing into clean clothes, he returned to the conference hall, sat opposite Liu Yu and said: "Go back to my lord, the situation in Henan is more complicated, Xia Guan has been in Kaifeng in Henan for three years, and he has just found a clue.
Henan can be roughly divided into three forces. On one side are the officials headed by the governor, and eighty percent of the officials in Henan only obey Lu Zhizhong's orders.
The remaining two achievements are officials who have no rights, and they can be regarded as masters of the people, but it is a pity that people are soft-spoken and weak-hearted.
On the other side was the anti-Qing and Ming restoration organization, and the lower officials heard that the young master of their organization had come to Henan and wanted to take the opportunity to stir up trouble and revolt.
Xiaguan originally wanted to write a song to return to Beijing, but unfortunately they found out, the song was destroyed, and Xiaguan was also monitored, and he had missed the opportunity.
There is also the last party, which is the mountain bandits living near Yunmeng Mountain, these people often go down the mountain to rob passing merchants and passers-by, and the government has encircled and suppressed them several times without success.
Either they were escaped or they got the news in advance, in short, they didn't catch anyone, and many people speculated that there was their internal response in this official mansion.
Or are these bandits related to the government in the first place? In short, they just didn't catch them.
In this case, the official has already told the adult, so it depends on what the adult does, and how are you going to start with these three parties?"
Liu Yu listened to Fan Jinwen's words and pondered for a long time, when Xiao Er's voice came from outside the door: "Objective, your meal has arrived." ”
