172 Jinan Express
The sun shone on the earth, and the baked land stirred up layers of heat.
Xiong Wei rode a horse and walked slowly and leisurely on the official road, looking at the green mountains in front of him from time to time. A gentle breeze blows in the air, and there is a slight dampness in the air.
Between the green mountains and green waters, Xiong Wei looked at Xia Yun when he was originally a chic couple, but there was a big stone in his heart that never fell. Along the way, neither of them spoke, and walked in a hurry.
"It's going to be Jinan Mansion so soon. Xiong Wei raised his head and looked at the big word Jinan at the gate of the city.
"Yes, it's going to Jinan Mansion so soon. Xia Yun looked at Xiong Wei, "Have you figured out how to tell the prefect?"
The corners of Xiong Wei's mouth turned up slightly, and he said nonchalantly: "What else do you think about this?" Let's just tell the truth. Anyway, there is so much food, it's not Xiong Wei and I can just swallow it alone. ”
He used his words to hide the uneasiness in his heart. He clenched his fists, his fingers rising and falling in a regular manner.
"But......" Xia Yun was interrupted by Xiong Wei before she could say anything.
"Don't worry. You women, sometimes it's just too much. It's a big deal to cut off my head. The bear rode forward without care.
"Eh!" Xia Yun looked at Xiong Wei's back as he walked away, and her heart went up and down. She knew that if she said this, the prefect of Jinan would not let Xiong Wei go. Although so many soldiers also saw it, they couldn't say how it was.
Xiong Wei was very wrong to distribute food without authorization. The prefect may have felt that Xiong Wei did not take him seriously. Although those "thieves" said that they distributed all the money and grain to the common people in the same way, but they were distributed to the common people, who can prove this? Xiong Wei lost his official money and grain, and this crime is not small.
Xiong Wei also knows that this matter is not so simple. But so what? He now felt that every step he took was being calculated by the other party.
He didn't know who the other party was. The other party is in the dark, and he is in the light. It seems that the other party knows everything he is thinking, and he can only passively follow the footsteps of the other party.
The only thing he could do now was to sit still, wait for the right moment, and find the right opportunity to get things to the bottom of things.
It is better for the other party to send all the grain to the people, otherwise even if he fights for his own life, he must find out all the grain and distribute it to the people.
What is the other side trying to do, and what is their purpose? Not only do they not harm the people of the government, but they also distribute grain to the common people. To some extent, he is doing things for the government. If it's really a thief, then this gang of thieves is also chivalrous.
However, no matter what, he still felt that he was being played by the other party as a monkey. He exhaled deeply, forcefully from the bottom of his lungs. Sooner or later, he will have to breathe out.
"Drive!" he slammed his legs on the horse, whipped the horse's buttocks, and galloped forward.
Xia Yun saw Xiong Wei speeding up, and hurriedly followed. She knew that Xiong Wei must be uncomfortable in her heart now.
Xiong Wei arrived at Jinan County after a while.
"Humble position, the prefect of Jinan Prefecture has seen Lord Xiong. The prefect gave Xiong Wei a salute.
"Get up!" Xiong Wei said and walked straight in.
The prefect of Jinan is only a five-pin, but Xiong Wei is a third-grade from Beijing, and he is a celebrity around the emperor. On the surface, this prefect still has to listen to Xiong Wei, and when he sees Xiong Wei coming, he still trembles a little.
Xia Yun was half a beat slower than Xiong Qi, and the prefect saw Xia Yun. Xia Yun took out the official document from his arms and said to the prefect: "We are the Jingshi escort official and silver official errand, and we will send the money and grain for this disaster relief to Jinan Mansion by the emperor's order, but it is just ......"
Before they arrived, the prefect of Jinan had already heard about it.
Xiong Wei quickly stepped into the lobby of Jinan Mansion and sat in the hall. I thought: I'll see what kind of play you want to sing me today.
He sat in the lobby with his eyes fixed on the doorway.
"Report! Liaocheng Urgent Report. "The officer handed over the official document to the prefect. There were higher-level officials in Xiong Wei, and he didn't dare to open the package privately, so he handed it over to Xia Yun immediately.
Xia Yun took the envelope to Xiong Wei. Xiong Wei looked at it, and there was a list inside, which wrote how many people in Liaocheng and how much food each household received.
After a while, another errand officer took the official document and rode a fast horse to Jinan Mansion.
"Report! Xia Yun handed over the urgent document to Xiong Wei again.
Xiong Wei glanced at it, slapped the official document on the table hard, blew up with a slit in his mouth, and the hair on his forehead was blown up by him.
Xiong sat in the lobby, gasping for breath and leaning back hard.
Xia Yun didn't know what to say for a while, since she met Xiong Wei, this was the third time she had seen him so abnormal.
The first time was in Xiongjiazhuang, where he couldn't bear that his master was the enemy who killed his entire family.
The second time was not long ago in the palace, and he was going to be blessed by the king...... , he can't stand his woman being bullied.
The third time was this time, he was already very careful, but in the end, he was calculated by the other party everywhere.
The sun gradually shifted to the west. In the blink of an eye, urgent documents were delivered in many places. Xiong asked the prefect to put the situation of the entire Shandong disaster, the severity of the disaster, and how many people there were in total. The harvest of previous years was reported.
Xiong Wei took these lists and compared them with pen to pen. After checking all the lists, I found that I didn't miss a single place.
And the hardest-hit places will get more money and food than other places. The distribution was good and reasonable. In some places, the distribution of the disaster situation is even more detailed than the records brought by the prefect.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Yun'er, this person is really powerful. He actually figured out the whole of Shandong clearly. I can't help but admire it. ”
He looked at the bill again and suddenly said, "No, it's less!"
"What's missing?" Xia Yun asked.
"The food is right, but the official money is less. ”
"How much less?"
They double-checked it again.
"Oh?" Xia Yun was surprised to find, "Isn't this small amount of official silver the same amount that the emperor rewarded King Fu?"
"Well, I found out too. What do these guys want to do?" Xiong Wei looked at Xia Yun suspiciously, "They divided the common people's and took the Fu King's." ”
"Maybe these people have a grudge against King Fu. But even if you take these, King Fu won't starve to death. Xia Yun said coldly.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a dart flew in and stuck in the wall behind Xiong Wei.
This is the contact information between these "thieves" and himself in the past few days, and Xiong Wei is a little used to it.
Xiong Wei immediately got up and took the dart down. There was another note on the dart. It reads: If you want official silver, tonight, on the shore of Daming Lake.
Xiong Wei looked at the note, smiled slightly, and said to himself: "What I was waiting for is your note." ”
"You're going to an appointment?" Xia Yun said with some concern.
"If I don't go to the appointment, how do I know what tricks he's playing?"
"I'll go with you. Let's be careful. ”
"No, I'll meet him myself and see his true face. Xiong Wei held the note into a ball of paper.
"But ......"
Xiong Wei looked at Xia Yun and smiled slightly, "We have to learn the lessons of being in Texas." What if this is another ploy to divert the tiger from the mountain?"
"That's ......"
"Besides, we're all gone, who will protect King Fu? In case, as soon as we leave, he will arrest King Fu, won't things be more troublesome?"
Xiong Wei secretly made up his mind that no matter what difficulties he encountered, he must take this opportunity to find out what happened.
It didn't take long for the sun to hide in the clouds and the moon slowly creep out of the west.
Summer night, almost to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon appears big and round, the moon at this time does not know why it seems extraordinarily bright, the bright moonlight is sprinkled on Daming Lake, a gust of wind blows, the lake surface ripples.
Xiong Wei stood on the edge of Daming Lake, looking around. The willows swayed gently in the wind, occasionally touching the floating waves, and a few insects hid in the grass and squeaked, and there was no one around.
"In the lower bear, come to visit, since your Excellency has an appointment, why don't you come out to meet. Xiong Wei held his hands in his arms, "Feifei" in his arms, his eyes scanned the lake, and his ears listened to all the movements around him.
"Boom!" a bunch of red fireworks burst into the sky, illuminating the pitch-black sky as if it were day.
"Whew, whew!" two men in black jumped out from behind Xiong Wei.
Xiong Wei immediately turned around and looked at them.
"The young owner of my family has invited a son. ”
Xiong Wei frowned and said, "What is the origin of your young owner?"
