I am the carpenter king

Walking in the incomprehensible camp, smelling the pungent smell, Guan Yingzhen's face became more and more gloomy, and his gaze towards Zhang Qian became more and more unfriendly.I used to think that this person was the same as Zhou Jiamo. Although he had the pursuit of power in his bones, his love for the people had never changed.

When he saw the tragic situation in the refugee camp, Guan Yingzhen knew that he was wrong. The first thing in Zhang Qian's heart was to fight for power. As for loving the people, it was just to fight for power. .If he was in the position of magistrate of Yangzhou, Guan Yingzhen knew that he would put how to keep the victims alive in the first place. As for the fight against corrupt officials and profiteers, it would come after this matter.

But Zhang Qian was different. When he arrived, he didn't tell himself about the plight of the victims, let alone how he solved the problem.When I saw this scene, the first thing I thought of was those corrupt officials and profiteers. The hatred for them has reached the extreme. This may be Zhang Qian's goal!

After thinking about this, Guan Yingzhen's affection for Zhang Qian disappeared completely. The magistrate of Yangzhou seemed to be too scheming.He is using himself, using this earthquake, for the purpose of being able to climb up, which has already touched the bottom line of Guan Yingzhen as an official.Even Guan Yingzhen wondered whether those profiteers and corrupt officials were fueled by Zhang Qian.Although it is not possible to be in the same boat, the force on the back may be unavoidable.

"You guys have to think about it, now that I'm giving you back five taels of silver, I'm afraid there won't be such a price in a few days! If it weren't for the fact that this little girl looks good and can be sold for a good price, you thought I would take it! Not now In the past, people are worthless!" The sharp voice of a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks sounded not far away, and the smug laughter seemed extraordinarily eloquent here.

His train of thought was interrupted.Guan Yingzhen frowned, and when he saw the situation on the other side, Guan Yingzhen understood what was going on.

It was a family of four, the clothes were very ragged, and the two adults looked haggard.The men are better, but the women are crying to death.Two children, a boy and a girl.The girl knelt on the ground with a straw mark stuck around her neck.Not far away, there are many people with straw signs. Obviously, this place has become a market for sellers.

The middle-aged man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks led a few people to constantly pick and choose, unscrupulously, the people around turned a blind eye to all this, and they were obviously used to such things.

Seeing this scene, Guan Yingzhen couldn't hold back his suppressed anger anymore, strode up, and shouted: "Stop!"

This sound shocked everyone.Many people turned their heads quickly, and when they saw Guan Ying Zhen in a bright red official uniform, everyone knew that this was a high official coming.They all knelt down and kowtowed, and the scene was quiet.

Putting his finger on the middle-aged man with the sharp-mouthed monkey's cheek and several of his companions, Guan Yingzhen said loudly: "Tie them up!"

"My lord, there are some things that need to be thought through before we do them. Do you know our identities? It's not good if it affects your own future!" The official is not small.But he seems confident in his identity.

But Guan Yingzhen didn't have the heart to grind his teeth with him, no matter who it was now.Even if it was Emperor Tianqi's brother-in-law, Guan Yingzhen would not be polite.Seeing that the yamen servants he brought were cowering, especially the yamen servants from Yangzhou Prefecture, Guan Yingzhen immediately felt angry.

"Arrest them all, no one will open their mouths for twenty!" Guan Yingzhen stared, but this time he didn't say it to the yamen servants.But to those Jin Yiwei who followed behind him.

"My lord, it's not worth haggling with these people. You'd better do what you want! I'll leave these people to us, and I'm sure you'll find out everything you want to know!" The person who spoke was the frugal matter of a Jin Yiwei. , called Liu De.He is also Luo Sigong's confidant, a very tactful and measured person.

Nodding his head slowly, wicked people have their own ways, Jin Yiwei has more money than himself, this day Guan Yingzhen is very clear.Guan Yingzhen didn't look at Zhang Qian and the others who turned their eyes to the side, and ordered in a cold voice, "Let people gather the refugees to the porridge shed. I have something to say!"

"Yes, my lord!" At this time, none of these people dared to stroke Guan Yingzhen's beard, and everyone could see that this imperial envoy was completely outraged.Provoking him at this time is tantamount to making yourself uncomfortable.

"Boy, you still dare to do it. I really don't know what grandpa relies on for a living! Look at the clothes on grandpa. It's a flying fish suit. Does Jin Yiwei know that?" Seeing people resist, Jin Yiwei, who was holding people, was immediately laughed angrily.

You must know that Jin Yiwei is the emperor's own army, no matter who dares to attack Jin Yiwei, it is a rebellion!

Pulling out the Xiuchun Knife from his waist and beheading a person, Liu De cursed loudly: "Hurry up and arrest people, it doesn't matter if they resist or kill them, where is there so much nonsense!" He had just promised in front of Guan Yingzhen, but now it is like this Ashamed, Liu De felt that his old face was lost.

Now those people were all stunned. When the other party mentioned Jin Yiwei, these people were too frightened to move.Unexpectedly, this senior official of Jinyiwei was more straightforward, and directly swung a knife to kill one of them. Seeing that his face was not red and he was not panting, his gallbladder was about to break.

"You, go send a letter to your master and ask him to go to the imperial envoy to lead someone, otherwise Jin Yiwei will go and raid his house! No matter who your master is, get out!" Liu De pointed at a young man, loudly scolded.

Liu De knew very well what Emperor Tianqi asked him to do in Yangzhou, so he would never discount it.Even if these are villains in the prince's mansion, Liu De is not afraid at all. If the lawsuit comes to Emperor Tianqi, he will win or lose.

Guan Yingzhen nodded in satisfaction. The Jinyiwei assigned to him by Emperor Tianqi was very effective, which made him have a good impression of these people, and smiled at Liu De.

Pressing down on these few people, Guan Yingzhen and his party went straight to the porridge shed without any delay.Along the way, Guan Yingzhen didn't speak, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and all the officials behind were silent.They were afraid of offending the imperial envoy at this time, and Zhang Qian was even more remorseful.Originally, he wanted to use these to arouse Guan Yingzhen's anger, but now he provoked it, but he even got involved.

Zhang Qian knew that Guan Yingzhen was also very dissatisfied with himself, let alone speak for himself, it would be good not to participate in impeaching himself.These were self-defeating, and I kept thinking about how to restore my image.

Guan Yingzhen was not in the mood to care about what these people thought, he just wanted to see how those porridge sheds lost porridge.He saw it soon, but this made Guan Yingzhen angry again.

There are two places where the porridge is lost, among which there are more than a dozen large pots, and something seems to be cooking in it, and the smell spreads far away.Smelling the smell, Guan Yingzhen knew that it was sweet potatoes, but there was a big sign beside the porridge shed, with four characters written on it: Longchang Company!

There is also a porridge shed opposite the Longchang, which is less than half the size of the Longchang. At this time, rice porridge is being boiled in the pot.But Guan Yingzhen could see clearly that the porridge cook was constantly stirring the pot, but it was rare to see rice grains, and most of them were white rice soup.

Looking back at Zhang Qian, Guan Yingzhen said coldly: "Prefect Zhang, can you tell me what's going on?"

Hearing Guan Yingzhen's voice without the slightest emotion, Zhang Qian felt chills in his bones, and quickly saluted: "My lord, the Yangzhou government has limited grain stocks, which is already the limit. There are too many victims. If all the food is released, then Yangzhou will be in chaos!"

Guan Yingzhen acted as if suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Very well, it seems that all the affluent Yangzhou government treasuries in the world are so empty, it might as well be a Longchang, Zhang Zhifu is a good prefect!" Afterwards, Guan Yingzhen ignored Zhang Qian and stretched out his hand to greet him.

"You drive away all the people who make porridge, bring all the food here, and cook all the rice! From now on, you remember that one of the three meals a day must be dry rice, and the other two must be rice porridge. The rice porridge must stick to the paper Stand up the chopsticks for cooking!" Guan Yingzhen ordered loudly, without looking back at Zhang Qian's ugly face.

At this time, the refugees from afar also got the news, and after a while, many people gathered in front of the porridge shed.

With the help of others, Guan Yingzhen climbed up the grain pile, stood so that everyone could see him, and then said to the Jinyi guards around him: "What did I say, you repeated it, remember? ?”

"Yes, my lord!" Jin Yiwei is no stranger to this errand, isn't the big man general in the palace just sitting on this kind of thing all day long?

"My official is Ying Zhen, a non-commissioned officer of the Cabinet University of the Ministry of Finance. This time, according to the emperor's imperial decree, Yangzhou will provide disaster relief. From today on, there will be unlimited supply of porridge sheds. Anyone who is hungry can come here to get food. But everyone is also welcome." I know that there are a lot of profiteers taking advantage of the fire this time, if any of you find out that someone has stolen food, or has taken a lot of food, you should sue this official!" Guan Yingzhen didn't say anything official, and didn't make any detours, He said it directly.

The people below suddenly shouted like a tsunami. Although they didn't know how big Guan Yingzhen was, they knew that he was the imperial envoy of the emperor. More importantly, they could have enough food in the future.Compared to this, nothing really matters!

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Unknown who took the lead shouted, and for a while, voices of long live were everywhere, and some even went up to the sky to instigate.

Watching this scene, Guan Yingzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. If it continues like this, I really don't know what will happen.If it really got to the point of killing officials and robbing food, then he would die without redemption! (To be continued..)
