Chapter 45 Fan Jinwen
The masked man who walked in front seemed to have noticed something, walked for a while, stopped and looked back.
No one was in sight, but he still suspected that he was being followed.
He would stop and look at every few steps, and Liu Yu found that he had been going around in circles, not going to his destination at all.
Liu Yu knew that there would be no more gains today, so he simply let him go and stopped following him, so as not to startle the snake.
As long as she looked at the woman called Qin Xiangzhu, she would know their purpose sooner or later.
didn't go to Kaifeng Mansion again, Liu Yu returned to the post station, and the people who came back were drinking in the hall, waiting for her by the way.
Seeing Liu Yu coming back, several people immediately surrounded him, pulled him to the table and said, "My lord, you are back." But the brothers are worried. ”
"What are you worried about? I'm Qincha, can anyone dare to kill me?" Liu Yu sat down and joked with them.
"My lord, you can't make such a joke. If you provoke these disaster victims, they won't care if you are a cha or not, even if they rebel, they will dare to rebel. One of the guards said to Liu Yu.
"Did you make any discoveries today?" Liu Yu asked seriously when it came to business, not joking.
"My lord, what a miserable thing it is for those people outside the city! They are unclothed, and they can only drink a bowl of gruel like water a day.
Hearing that the adults were coming, Lu Zhizhong drove all the victims who were originally surrounding the city gate to the ruined temple ten miles away.
Some time ago, it rained in Fucheng, the broken temple was dilapidated, and it looked like it was about to fall when the wind blew, and many places inside were leaking.
These victims had no clothes and quilts, and many of them lay directly on the damp ground, sick and frozen.
Anyway, people die every day, and these victims are numb.
Lu Zhizhong, as the governor, ignored it, only let the officers and soldiers watch, and did not let them come out, so as not to run into adults and ask him for guilt. ”
"Is there such a thing? This Lu Zhizhong is too unreasonable. Oh! That's right. Do you know who Fan Jinwen is, and what kind of management position does he hold?"
Liu Yu suddenly remembered the person named Fan Jinwen that Lu Zhizhong and the masked woman said, and heard them say that this person didn't listen to them, and he didn't go all the way with them.
is also ready to frame him, wanting to frame him. In case this Fan Jinwen is a good official, it is a pity to be killed by them like this. So it's better to look it up.
When the people around heard Liu Yu's question, they all shook their heads and said, "I don't know." ”
Liu Yu asked them to go out tomorrow and inquire by the way what kind of person this person named Fan Jinwen was, how was he an official, and where he lived now?
"Wow!" replied the guards on one knee.
Let the guards go back to rest and go out early tomorrow to find out the news. After the guards left, Liu Yu also went back to the room to rest. She has also been very tired in the past two days.
The next day, several of the guards who had inquired about the news went out. The two guards who stayed behind saw Liu Yu coming out of the room and instructed the men at the post station to fetch water for Lord Qincha to wash.
Liu Yu had breakfast at the post station, and took two guards to find the governor, Lu Zhizhong was busy in the palace at this time, and when he saw Liu Yu coming, he hurriedly led people to kneel down and ask for peace: "Greetings to Lord Qincha, Lord Qin Cha is auspicious!"
"Get up, what are you doing here?" said Liu Yu to their feet, asked them what they were doing, and reached forward and touched the sack on the carriage with his hand.
Lu Zhizhong hurriedly came to Liu Yu's side and said, "Back to my lord's words, this is the disaster food that I promised to give to the people yesterday. Please also ask an adult to check it. ”
Liu Yu asked the sack to be untied and began to inspect it with a special tool for inspecting grain.
Because she already knew that Lu Zhizhong wanted to frame Fan Jinwen, there must be something wrong with this food, but she didn't know where they would start.
Liu Yu checked all the grain on the carriage, except for the grain that was old, nothing else was found, and no bags of grain were found using sand and soil.
Are they trying to do it halfway?
didn't find anything wrong, Liu Yu naturally wouldn't waste time here, so he said to Lu Zhizhong: "Since the food is ready, then send it to the prefectures and counties where the disaster is serious as soon as possible to help those who have homes and can't go back." ”
"Yes, the lower official will send someone to send it. ”
"I'll send it! It just so happened that Ben Chin also wanted to see how the disaster was now. ”
Liu Yu's words made Lu Zhizhong hesitate for a moment, but he quickly reflected and said: "My lord is a Qincha, you don't need to go to the disaster area in person, it's still raining over there, and it's dangerous on the road."
The food officials for disaster relief have already arranged it, as long as someone sends it over. ”
Liu Yu shook his head and said to Lu Zhizhong: "Lord Futai's words are wrong! It is precisely because I am a Qincha that I want to go down and take a look."
Ben Qincha came to inspect the disaster area on behalf of the emperor, and when he came to comfort the victims, he naturally wanted to meet the victims.
Let them know that the emperor has not forgotten them, and will definitely send someone to save them, the people who are suffering. ”
Lu Zhizhong persuaded him not to move, so he could only give up. The food for disaster relief was not easy to do under Liu Yu's nose, so she could only watch as bags of grain were loaded onto the carriage.
After the grain was loaded, Liu Yu asked the guards behind him to leave one person in the post station and wait for the others to return.
Then, he arched his hand and said to Lu Zhizhong beside him: "Lord Futai, Ben Qin is about to follow the convoy to deliver relief food, and the rest will be troublesome to Lord Futai." ”
Lu Zhizhong also replied: "Don't dare, the lower officials will listen to Lord Hou's dispatch." ”
Liu Yu left the palace with the convoy, went to the post station to get his own salute, and said to the guards who stayed before leaving: "Pay more attention to the movement of the palace, send me a letter if there is any situation." ”
After thinking about it, Liu Yu said again: "Inquire more about the situation of officials in various parts of Henan, and if you encounter some strange or unreasonable things, write them down, and solve them when I come back." ”
"Wow!"
Liu Yu didn't have time to say more, so after a simple order, he took his baggage and got into the carriage in the post station and left.
Originally, Liu Yu was going to go on horseback, but the accompanying guards disagreed. It happened that there was a spare carriage at the post station, so she asked the guards to drive the carriage for her to keep up with the convoy carrying grain.
Due to the heavy grain truck, it just rained here in Fucheng a few days ago, and the road was muddy and not easy to walk. Liu Yu and the others caught up with the convoy carrying grain not far outside the city.
When the leader of the grain transport team saw that Qincha's carriage had arrived, he hurriedly rode back and came over to greet Liu Yu. Liu Yu didn't show up in the carriage, but just told him to hurry up and not lose time.
The transport officer did not dare to object, and rode to the front again, telling everyone to hurry up.
At noon, the transport officials found a dry open space and asked everyone to stop the carriage to rest, and the grain transporters took out their dry food and sat down on the spot to eat.
Liu Yu sat in the carriage and didn't come out, so he handed the dry food he brought in the morning to the guards who were driving the carriage, and asked him to eat some food and take a rest.
Liu Yu, who was sitting in the carriage, ate a few mouthfuls of dry food and stopped eating, she was thinking: Where will Lu Zhizhong start? Replace the sand with grain? Or will he not dare to do it again because of his own interference?
