Chapter 554 Shouting Injustice (four more)
The headmaster in the porridge factory looked at the oncoming man, recognized that it was a third-grade official uniform, ran over quickly, bowed his hands and said, "Xiaguan Shi Lei, do you know who your lord is?"

"I am Gao Zhengming. I inspected the two rivers according to the emperor's order, and returned to Beijing to pass by here." Gao Zhengming bowed to the northern capital.

"The porridge factory sees the chief Shi Lei..."

"Shut up!" Gao Zhengming shouted angrily.

Shi Lei was frightened by Gao Zhengming's sudden anger, blinked his eyes and said innocently, "Lord Gao, I don't know what Xiaguan did to make you angry."

"I asked you if there is any food for disaster relief?" Gao Zhengming squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.

"Yes, yes, yes." Shi Lei said three words in a row with joy in his voice.

"What about the food?" Gao Zhengming looked at him with anger in his eyes and said.

"It's all in the warehouse!" Shi Lei glanced in the direction of the warehouse, and said respectfully, "Xiaguan specially sent eight brothers to guard it day and night!"

Gao Zhengming pointed his index finger at the crude pottery bowl in the hands of the people, and said angrily with wide eyes, "I'm asking about the porridge factory."

"The food that is delivered to the porridge factory every day is in the pot!" Shi Lei said, looking at the porridge factory behind him.

"Humph!" Gao Zhengming snorted angrily and strode toward the porridge factory with his sleeves thrown.

Shi Lei stared at Gao Zhengming's back with wide eyes, and tilted his head, not understanding how he made Lord Gao angry.

Gao Zhengming took the chopsticks of the people into his hands as he walked, walked to the edge of the pot, looked at the handyman who was stirring the porridge with a large horse spoon, and said, "Stop!"

The handyman stopped immediately, put the big horse spoon on the stove, and took two steps back.

Gao Zhengming raised his voice and said, "Shi Lei."

"The next official is here." Shi Lei ran over and said.

"Stand beside the pot." Gao Zhengming said loudly, watching Shi Lei stand beside him and said, "Keep your eyes open." He glanced at him and smashed a chopstick in his hand into the pot. , the chopsticks floated on the porridge in an instant.

Seeing this, Shi Lei looked at Gao Zhengming in confusion, "Please show me."

"I'm here to ask you, the yamen chief of the Ministry of Household told you that he never told you, the law of the porridge factory's relief." Gao Zhengming stared at him and asked.

"Tell me." Shi Lei nodded and said, "The porridge given must be thick enough to hold chopsticks."

"Then look at these chopsticks." Gao Zheng said angrily at the chopsticks floating on the porridge, "Can you insert it?"

"No." Shi Lei replied honestly, avoiding his gaze with a guilty conscience.

Gao Zhengming picked up the big horse spoon on the edge of the pot, stirred the porridge, scooped a spoonful, and poured it into the pot again.

Gao Zhengming's eyes were like copper bells, and he said angrily, "Is this also called porridge? Not to mention that I can't put chopsticks in, I just want to catch a few grains of rice. Such a pot of clear soup with little water." He turned his eyes to the people outside the porridge factory and said, "You let the hungry people who are unable to stand still eat." His eyes fell on Shi Lei's body and said, "This can be considered a Is it a life-saving porridge? Can it be regarded as a majestic emperor? Can it be regarded as a parental official who gives relief?"

Shi Lei's face was flushed, and he said aggrievedly, "Sir Gao, there are many people and few meters, if the pots and pots are full of thick porridge, this porridge factory will not be able to go on." Tears in his eyes, "I, Shi Lei, also represent the imperial court. Share your worries!"

Gao Zhengming got up again and said, "Shut up." Pointing to the people outside, he said, "Go out and see, those victims were all starved to death. You still have the face to say that you share the worries of the court. "

Shi Lei looked at his trembling lips with red eyes and said, "Sir Gao, I, Shi Lei, are really sharing the worries of the imperial court! For those alms rice allocated by the imperial court, if I were to make thick porridge from the pot, I would not have this porridge in three days. The factory won't open anymore."

Gao Zhengming listened to his explanation, and the fire didn't come out, "Are you worthy of the court? Are you worthy of the emperor? Are you worthy of the victims who are holding a bowl and trying to survive?" He shouted at him, "Tell me! Say it!"

Shi Lei opened and closed his mouth, plopped down and knelt down and said, "Master Gao, I'll go carry the rice." Angrily pointing at the stove, "I'll cook a pot and put it in. Thick porridge with chopsticks." Then he stood up again.

"It's too late!" Gao Zhengming said only two words.

"It's late?" Shi Lei stared at him and said, "What do you mean by late?"

"The law of this dynasty, the porridge factory makes porridge, the chopsticks float, and the heads fall." Gao Zhengming said with a blank face, without even looking at it.
"What?" Shi Lei knelt down in despair, looking at Gao Zhengming in disbelief, "The chopsticks floated up and the head fell to the ground."

"Yes! The chopsticks floated up and the head fell to the ground. This is Huang Gang Wang Xian!" Gao Zhengming locked his eyes on him and shouted loudly, "Come here! Please come out with the sword of Shang Fang."

Shi Lei looked at the sword of Shang Fang held by the soldiers in disbelief, and said tremblingly, "Master Gao, you really want to kill me!"

"Really kill you." Gao Zhengming looked at him seriously and said.

"Haha..." Shi Lei looked at him with grief and indignation and laughed, and he burst out laughing, "Master Gao, are you kidding us!"

"Under the sword of Shang Fang, how can you play tricks." Gao Zhengming looked at him coldly and said.

"Lord Gao, I, Shi Lei and my brothers, have been wronged." Shi Lei looked at him with tears in his eyes and said.

"If you don't leave one, behead..." Gao Zhengming's voice just fell.

"Master Shi is wronged, Master Shi is wronged." The old man shouted loudly.

Gao Zhengming looked surprised. Someone actually complained for Shi Lei. This is really rare. He looked at the victims and said, "Who are you complaining?"

"That..." the old man said with some flinch.

Shen Zhouheng pushed him behind him and said, "Tell you what happened last night exactly as it was last night."

"I don't dare!" The old man tilted his head slightly and looked at Shen Zhou who was behind him.

"He is the master of Qingtian, he will decide for you, and he will not embarrass you." Shen Zhou pressed his shoulder and said, "You don't want Lord Shi to be killed in vain!"

"That's fine, I'll go." The old man mustered up his courage and raised his hand, "This lord, what I said about Master Shi was wrong."

The old man walked towards Gao Zhengming vainly, looked at him with firm eyes, and plopped down on his knees in front of him and said, "I said that Master Shi was wronged. If he hadn't insisted on cooking porridge, we would all starve to death."

Gao Zhengming bent down slightly and looked him levelly, "He boiled porridge with clear soup and little water, and starved so many villagers to death. You actually blame Shi Lei."

The old man looked at Gao Zhengming who was stooping, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and nodded heavily, "Yes!"
