Chapter 228 What About Wild Dogs

That day, Pei Ji stood on the corridor for a long time, subconsciously, he stretched out his hand to hold him back, but his palm was suspended in the air, and gradually, the brightness in his eyes disappeared completely.

Lowering his head slightly, his entire face was hidden in the darkness, unable to discern his emotions.

In such a long corridor, she just walked ruthlessly in the opposite direction of herself, getting farther and farther, without turning back once.

It has always been like this, between himself and Gu Yanyi, the little princess has always chosen Gu Yanyi without hesitation, and from beginning to end, he is destined to be the one to be abandoned.

Since the day of the birthday banquet, everyone has known that Mr. Xiaoyun from Jingxin Academy is the fiancée wife of the newly appointed governor of Liangjiang. Although they don't know the relationship between the two, they still talk about it.

However, derogation is greater than praise. After all, people's hearts are not ancient, so who can be completely innocent?
Wei Yunzhu was quite distressed, she still had those four words, she had no intention of getting married, and treated everyone the same. Regarding this, she always wanted to find an opportunity to meet Brother Gu, so that she could explain it clearly in person.

But now that the root of the year has passed, and the holiday is about to begin, the weather still shows no sign of warming up. If such a severe cold continues before the holiday, the growth of wheat in the new year will inevitably be affected, and a vicious circle will follow. , the problem of famine is bound to erupt again.

What's worse is that in the already panic-stricken Northland, there are spies from neighboring countries with evil intentions, spreading rumors to confuse people, trying to take advantage of the danger to disturb the morale of the army.

Gu Yanyi was detained by Pei Ji in the state government office, busy day and night, couldn't find any time for ten days, and Wei Yunzhu naturally had no chance to meet him if he had a rest.

State government office.

There are Jinwu guards at every gate, and the atmosphere inside is even harsher than the cold wind outside that can tear away flesh and blood, and it makes people feel restless, with thorns on their backs.

All the officials, big and small, bowed their heads and stood on both sides with their heads down. All of them lowered their heads firmly, and the cold sweat on their foreheads kept breaking out.

Lord Shoufu and Governor Gu disagree.

What's more terrible is that these two people refused to give in to each other, and the atmosphere was tense at one point, making people feel that the next moment, these two people will meet each other!

"The governor thinks that the fundamental problem can be solved by opening the warehouse and releasing the grain? May I ask you, the relief grain can be solved for ten days, half a month, or even three months, but can it last for a long time? The famine in the Northland last year , the treasury took out [-] shi of relief food, but now? Damn it, the famine continues to famine, the [-] shi of relief food has been squandered, and the money is squandered from the state treasury without even a sound !"

Pei Ji's words are resounding, he is the most shrewd housekeeper in Da Zhou, and he is full of careful calculations. If he hadn't been rambling and searching from various places on weekdays, Da Zhou might not have known How many border walls have been knocked down.

Gu Yanyi wore a snow robe, and said in a firm voice: "People have three problems: the hungry cannot eat, the cold cannot wear clothes, and the tired cannot rest. I miss the sufferings of my people, but now even you and I are unwilling to do it for you." What a tragedy it is to conspire!"

"Last year's [-] shi relief food was indeed allocated, but how much was exploited by officials at various levels, and how much actually went to the victims? The money from the treasury was inaudible, because it all went to those corrupt officials. trouser pockets! Those vicious wolves, greedy for meat, don’t care about the lives of the people!”

Dare I say it, the number one corrupt official in the Great Zhou Dynasty is not the Lord Shoufu.

The officials buried their heads lower, but Gu Yanyi's sorrow of worrying about the country and the people still infected a lot of people. Yes, if it is true that the granary is not opened to release food, will the people be allowed to starve to death?

Pei Ji snorted coldly, and sure enough, he was still the same benevolent and moral Gu Shilang, and he hadn't changed at all.

"It's not difficult to know, but difficult to do. Since Governor Gu advocates opening a warehouse, let's talk about when, how, and when should this warehouse be opened?" He questioned word by word, Slowly but every word and every sentence hit Qicun.

"According to the official's opinion, the matter of opening warehouses and raising grain should be divided into four sections. The first section is to send heavy troops to send the grain to Bingzhou. During this period, there is no need to pass through the prefectures and counties, and the pass can go directly to Bingzhou; the second section is relief before the festival. Those who are worried about life; the third section, relief for those who have nowhere to live after the festival; the fourth section, relief for those who are hungry in the spring."

Reasonable and well-founded, after everyone listened to it, they whispered and nodded in praise unconsciously.

Pei Ji listened carefully, he raised his chin slightly, looking thoughtful, then he nodded seriously, stretched out his hand and patted his palms lightly a few times, the smile on his cheeks revealed It looks weird and confusing.

After a long time, as the sound of clapping stopped abruptly, he finally spoke in an extremely careless tone: "Governor Gu is really resourceful, otherwise..."

He paused on purpose, leaned forward slightly, and glanced at the officials, this glance made everyone tremble and sweat frequently.

Then, his eyes fixed on Gu Yanyi, and the smile on his thin lips carried a strange aura, and the danger rose: "Otherwise... I will give you the position of chief assistant, and you will be it?"

He said the last rhetorical question with a smile, but it was so eerie and terrifying that it made people's backs tingle unconsciously. It was similar to the fact that the death of a ghost from hell is only a matter of a moment.

Then, all the officials unconsciously lost their legs, and the next moment, they all knelt down in unison!
Except for Gu Yanyi, his back was still straight, and there was no trace of fear in his eyes. On the contrary, there was a hint of sophistication and gloom between the once warm brows.

Pei Ji looked at the trembling officials below, and saw Gu Yanyi who was as lonely as green pines and verdant cypresses.

Still like this, not afraid of death, love to die!

"Master Gu, you are still like this. You are not afraid of death. You are no different from the wild dog at the gate."

He was born in three religions and nine streams, and he had never been a nobleman, so he naturally didn't care about the way of a gentleman who cares about others. He has ups and downs in the officialdom, can speak beautiful words, but he is not merciless when scolding others.

As for Gu Yanyi, there was no anger in his eyes, and he even smiled lightly: "Oh, really? That's really thanks to Mr. Shoufu for his praise."

It doesn't matter if it's a wild dog, as long as it's the princess's favorite one.

All the officials held their breath. At this moment, everyone thought that the new governor might die soon.

But in an instant, the gloom rolling in Pei Ji's eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by an absurd laugh, which echoed around intermittently.

The corners of his eyes were a little crimson when he laughed, and when he had laughed enough, he pulled a laugh that was about to dissipate: "Why are you so nervous, I'm just joking, everyone get up."

It's okay to joke, but it's not fun to joke about the underworld!

After this discussion was over, all the officials thought in unanimous agreement that if there was another occasion where Lord Shoufu and Governor Gu appeared together next time, they would have to ask for leave no matter what!
