Chapter 424: Devouring
Xiao Ge was able to stand up, inhale and exhale, and felt that the breath was smooth, the Lord had left Qi Yue Mountain, but Wen Jing had not yet fallen, and was still in the hands of the Lord, and his worry suddenly emerged, Ding Zhishan saw that Xiao Ge had nothing to do, and he came to Xiao Ge's side and said: "Brother Xiao, Xiao Daxia, you have removed a lot of enemies for Qi Yue Mountain, Qi Yue Mountain is very grateful to you, you have the grace of rebuilding Qi Yue Mountain", Xiao Ge hurriedly helped Ding Zhishan up, and said: " These are all hands-on, now the military rations have been found, and this matter has nothing to do with Qi Yueshan, it is all done by Guo Zhengfan, I believe the emperor will also handle it impartially", Ding Zhishan said: "What I want to say is this matter, and please say a few good words for me Qi Yueshan in front of the emperor, we haven't moved the grain at all, we are all here", seeing Ding Zhishan's eyes so categorically, it is all for survival, Xiao Ge said: " Please rest assured about this matter, I will definitely be able to handle this matter, but I will trouble you with one thing, please ask the brothers of Qi Yueshan to help and transport these grains to the place where Henan is severely affected", Ding Zhishan said: "Definitely, I, Ding Zhishan, on behalf of the brothers of Qi Yueshan, thank the Xiao brothers for saving their lives".
The food has been prepared, Xiao Ge said to Zhao Delin: "Lord Zhao, the food has been prepared, and please ask Lord Zhao to accompany us on a trip, after all, I am the newly appointed soldier of the Ministry of War, and the food affairs are still in charge of the people in the court, you see what, you are serving the emperor's will", Zhao Delin said: "Since Brother Xiao has spoken, I should go on a trip without regrets", Xiao Ge said: "Thank you."
A day non-stop running, all the way can see a desolate field, the drought took the lives of many people, now there are not many people left, only able to rely on the last five million loads of grain relief, now there are five million loads of grain has been transported to the city of Xinyang, Henan, the people who defend the city saw Xiao Ge escort grain to Xinyang City, stationed in Xinyang City prefect named Wang Xin, the official worship of the prefect, in Xinyang City is the greatest right, but this drought has brought him a lot of pressure, the people suffered, see that the grain has been transported to Xinyang, have come out of the house to meet, large and small officials have come to Xinyang City prefect Yamenγ
Wang Xin can be said to be a rare Qing official in the imperial court, he has been working for the welfare of the people of Xinyang City all these years, and his life is very leisurely, but today's sudden disaster, the drought has taken many people's lives, the food supply of the imperial court is not in place, and many people have died of famine.
Wang Xin was very happy to see Xiao Ge escorting grain to Xinyang City, but as soon as he went out, he saw that Ding Zhishan was also here, and he was very angry, and said to his subordinates: "Come on, arrest this thief." Although Wang Xin is the prefect of Xinyang City, he is very familiar with Ding Zhishan, the thieves, the officers and soldiers of Xinyang City have been dispatched, about 100 people, Xiao Ge and his people are all surrounded, Xiao Ge shouted: "What does this mean, we are here to send food", Wang Xin said: "Send food, you see who the person next to you is", Xiao Ge said calmly: "He is Ding Zhishan, the king of Qi Yue Mountain", Wang Xin snorted and said: "Now that you know the truth, and you also said that you are still with this thief, you are not a good person at first glance."
Xiao Ge said: "Make a good decision regardless of the green soap, you think what you are doing is right", Wang Xin said: "I just judge things by facts, no matter who you are, you are not a good person when you are with Ding Zhishan, come to someone, tie them up", Ding Zhishan said: "Brother Xiao", just about to speak, Xiao Ge stretched out his hand to interrupt and said: "Since I asked you to come, others should not want to arrest you", Wang Xin said: "It seems that you want to go against the court, come on", Zhao Delin called: "Lord Wang" , Zhao Delin, who had been behind, rushed over, but Wang Xin's people were very close to Xiao Ge and a few people, Xiao Ge's internal strength was shocked, Wang Xin's soldiers and horses were suppressed by strong strength, and he didn't dare to approach, Wang Xin said: "You are still a Jianghu person, who are you."
Zhao Delin came to Xiao Ge's side and said to Wang Xin: "Lord Wang Xin, Lord Wang, are all their own people", Zhao Delin, Wang Xin knows each other, the inner secret agent, arched his hand and said: "Lord Zhao, why did you come here", Zhao Delin said with a smile: "Lord Wang, they are all their own people, don't hurt the harmony, they are all their own people", Wang Xin said in shock: "My own people, these people are all people in the rivers and lakes, when will you get entangled with them, don't forget, you are a person in the court, these rivers and lakes are very cunning" , Zhao Delin said: "Lord Wang Xin has lived in Xinyang City for a long time, I don't know what happened in the court of Ludao, this is Xiao Ge, the current soldier of the Ministry of War", Wang Xin touched his brows and said: "The soldier of the Ministry of War, Xiao Ge", suddenly seemed to understand, he had heard of Xiao Ge, he had known each other but had not seen Xiao Ge's face, and he was not very clear about Xiao Ge's appearance.
Xiao Ge arched his hand and said: "It is under the bottom", the language is extraordinary, the air is lofty, and the face is righteous, Wang Xin realized that he had misunderstood Xiao Ge, and hurriedly said: "Lord Xiao Ge, there are no eyes and beads below, I don't know you, please don't blame", so call Xiao Ge, it is nothing more than because Xiao Ge's official title is bigger than himself, and the emperor has just sealed Xiao Ge for only a few days, Xiao Ge said: "Lord Wang, I am just a reckless person below, and I don't understand the official way, so there is no need to pay more attention to these etiquettes." , Wang Xin saw Xiao Ge give himself a step, felt very happy, and said: "I offended Lord Xiao just now, but Lord Xiao didn't blame me at all, it can be seen how broad Lord Xiao's mind is, and I, Wang Xin, is not worth mentioning compared to you, you can fight alone for the safety of the martial arts, although I am a person in the court, but I have also heard of Xiao Ge's reputation, and I admire you very much", Xiao Ge interjected to interrupt Wang Xin's words, and arched his hand and said: "Don't call me Lord Xiao in the future, you are older than me, just call me Brother Xiao." βγ
Wang Xin smiled and said: "Okay, Brother Xiao", Zhao Delin said: "It can be said that you don't know each other, Wang Xin, here are five million quintals of grain, and this Qi Yueshan Ding Zhishan also abandoned the dark and turned to the light, the reason for this is caused by Guo Zhengfan, and it has nothing to do with Ding Zhishan, Ding Zhishan is just a scapegoat", Wang Xin said: "Where is Guo Zhengfan Guo now, is there any evidence", Zhao Delin said: " Maybe you don't know yet, Guo Zhengfan has been corrected on the spot, he confessed to what he did, and when we distribute food to the people, we have to go back to restore our lives and tell the emperor about Guo Zhengfan."
Wang Xin began to mutter, Guo Zhengfan can be said to cover the sky with one hand in the court, and Guo Zhengfan will be executed only on the basis of wishful thinking, so it is unreasonable to say anything, when the first-grade official of the dynasty died in the hands of Xiao Ge, Wang Xin said: "Brother Xiao, Guo Zhengfan is a first-class official of the dynasty, you just killed him like this, even if there is evidence, you have to hand it over to the emperor to deal with, you are a good judgment", Xiao Ge Ha Lu Ha laughed, patted his chest and said: " I killed people, if the emperor wants to condemn the crime, I Xiao should accept the guilt, no complaints and no regrets", a sentence bursting with righteousness, Wang Xin had to admire Xiao Ge's personality, and he had also heard that Xiao Ge was a person, and no one could stop him from doing what he wanted to do.
At this time, there are more and more onlookers, most of them are people who have suffered from the drought, their clothes are disheveled, their faces are yellow and thin, and they are holding bowls in their hands in front of the yamen of Xinyang City Mansion, fortunately, there are officers and soldiers to block them, otherwise these grains would have been robbed a long time ago, Liu Yuxiang looked at these poor people, and those who practiced ruthless swords would also become affectionate, more sympathetic, lamenting the helplessness of this poor life, and said: "Brother Xiao, there are many refugees, don't wait any longer", Xiao Ge said: "Okay", turned to the people and stretched out his hand and said:" The people of Xinyang City have suffered, there are five million quintals of grain, don't grab it, everyone has food, please line up according to the order, don't grab it", raised his arms and shouted, and everyone danced with joy.
People can react instinctively when they are hungry, that is, rob, but after Xiao Ge's words, the people of Xinyang City did not rob, rushed up, but really began to line up, even if they were hungry, Xiao Ge came to Zhao Delin's side, pointed to the people here and said: "So many people are suffering, you, the big inner secret agent, are not really seeking benefits for them", Zhao Delin sighed lightly and said: " I also want to do this, but I also have my own difficulties, I am just a secret agent in the Ouchi, I have no real power, I have no right to order, what right can a mere three-grade official have to do those things, I have more than enough power to do it."
Xiao Ge said: "Do your best to do it, even if you really don't have that much power, be worthy of your heart, and be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth", Zhao Delin smiled bitterly, it was not good to reply directly to Xiao Ge's words, because his mind was not so broad, only a wry smile could explain the bitterness in his heart, two hours passed, and the people of Xinyang City left one by one, all the rice in their pockets and bowls were all grain, life-saving food, Xiao Ge's face also showed a long-lost smile, a smile from internal strength.
Xiao Ge asked: "How much grain has been sent, how much grain is left", Wang Xin calculated, and said: "Send out a million quintals of grain, there are still four million quintals of grain left", Xiao Ge said: "How long will the drought last, is there a way to fundamentally solve the drought", Wang Xin said: "Only if there is grain, plant it this year, there will be no accidents, that is to say, if there is no drought, there will be a bumper harvest in the coming year", seeing Wang Xin shaking his head, he asked rhetorically: "Is there still a drought in the coming year", Wang Xin said: " I don't know much about this, but if there is no hope, there is no courage to live."
