The evil king's favorite snake and scorpion concubine

Chapter 643 Killing Corrupt Officials in Anger and Making Congee to Save People (1)
Nangong Lingtian's eyes were deep, and Yu'er's words entered his heart. From now on, Youzhou will be their territory, just like his home. If he wants to live comfortably, he must develop Youzhou, and don't want to be like an owl. Beijing is so prosperous, at least the people have to have enough food and clothing, and have no worries about food and housing. It seems that they have something to do when they enter Youzhou.

No one in the carriage spoke anymore, and they were traveling all the way to Youzhou. They thought it was an accident that a group of mountain bandits appeared, but who knew that they would encounter the second group, the third group, and the fourth group. There were four groups of mountain bandits in total. The thieves intercepted them, although they were all killed by the people of Beiyou Palace, but this situation seemed a little weird.

Hua Jingyu frowned, and looked at Nangong Lingtian: "Lingtian, this seems a little too weird, how do these bandits know so clearly about our whereabouts, and four groups appeared to rob us all at once? , it is obvious that someone is behind the scenes and sent the news to these bandits."

Nangong Lingtian said in a cold voice: "I didn't expect that someone would do something like this behind the scenes. Well, I want to see who is behind this. They actually plotted against me. If I find out, it will definitely be wrong." will spare him."

While the two were talking, the mighty carriage had already driven outside the city of Youzhou. There were several officials of Youzhou City standing on the official road outside the city gate. There were many people in the dark crowd, all looking in the direction of the official road. , until the carriage of Prince Beiyou drove out of the city, Tan Fang, the prefect of Youzhou, led several officials under his command and immediately stepped forward to salute.

"I have seen the prince and the concubine."

Nangong Lingtian raised the curtain and looked out, Hua Jingyu also looked out along the curtain of the car, and saw a group of people parked outside, the man at the head should be Tan Fang, the magistrate of Youzhou, with a fat head and big ears, squinted eyes, and a big face , double chin, and flushed cheeks, he looks like a smiling Buddha at first glance, but the brilliance in this person's eyes should not be underestimated.

Hua Jingyu didn't like the Tan magistrate at first glance. One look at a person like him and he knew that he was a corrupt official who exploited the people. If the people didn't have enough to eat and clothing, he would be fat and fat. The officials also all have rosy cheeks and look energetic, and they all look at the eyes of the prefect of Youzhou. It seems that although Youzhou is poor, the officials are of one mind. Connected into one.

Hua Jingyu's lips curled into a sneer, but Nangong Lingtian's calm and cold voice sounded: "Prefect Tan, get up."

"Yes, my lord," Tan Fang led the men behind him to stand up, and respectfully asked Nangong Lingtian and Hua Jingyu's carriage to enter the city first.Then everyone got into the carriage.

The car driver had just entered the city, and before he had gone far, he heard the urgent sound of horseshoes in the city, and a soldier got off his horse, and quickly went straight to the Tanzhou prefect, clasping his fists and saying: "Lord Tan, it's not good!" Some people looted granaries, and even dared to rob the government’s granaries.”

Tan Fang's face darkened in an instant. These unscrupulous people dared to rob things when the prince entered the city, damn things.

"These unscrupulous people were all beaten to death with sticks, and they dared to rob the government. All of them have eaten the ambitions of leopards, right?"

Tan Fang quickly pulled the horse closer, and said respectfully: "My lord, I'll go down to deal with it, and go back to the palace to report the situation to the lord."

Nangong Lingtian's face was very gloomy. He never expected that when he arrived in Youzhou, not only would he be robbed by bandits, but even the people would forcibly rob the granary of the government office. This is quite interesting.

"Okay, you go, the king will go there later, but don't hurt the people."

When Tan Fang heard Nangong Lingtian's words, his eyes darkened, and then he cupped his fists and said, "I'm taking orders."

He also ordered several officials under his command to send Nangong Lingtian and Hua Jingyu to Beiyou Palace in Youzhou City. Of course, this palace in Youzhou City is not as prosperous as Xiaojing, but a slightly more delicate courtyard. The place isn't too big, but it's not too small either. It's fine for their family to live in it now.

This palace will be expanded in the future.

After Tan Zhifu arranged everything properly, he led his people to deal with the matter of the people robbing the granary. Here, Nangong Lingtian, Hua Jingyu and others took a carriage and led a group of people into Beiyou, which is located in the east district of Youzhou City. The palace, the carriage drove all the way in, Nangong Lingtian ordered the following officials to let them get busy on their own.

Several people bid farewell and retreated, behind Bai Zhu had already called the servants to drive the carriage into the palace, and began to assign people to move the things that should be moved down, the palace quickly became busy.

Nangong Lingtian and Hua Jingyu did not get out of the carriage, but still sat in the carriage, and ordered Yan Bing to take the two little guys down to play, and they sat in the carriage to discuss matters.

"Let's go and have a look. The prefect of Tan is not a good person at first glance. He has raised a fat head and big ears. He is greedy at first glance. Over the years, you have not been in Youzhou, but you have raised him enough. Yes, don't look at this place as poor, I'm sure the prefect's family is probably richer than the government office."

Nangong Lingtian didn't speak, and the voice of Qingzhu sounded outside: "My lord, Zhao Tongsan came to greet you."

"Zhao Yao? Invite him in."

"Yes, my lord," Qingzhu stepped out to invite Zhao Yao to come in. Outside the carriage, Zhao Yao greeted Nangong Lingtian respectfully. Nangong Lingtian lifted the curtain and looked at him. Hua Jingyu also saw Zhao Yao outside the carriage from the corner of the curtain. The face of a middle-aged man, with thin features, a long figure, clear brows, and a righteous look, he looks like a relatively clean person. This person should be Ling Tianan who was stationed in Youzhou.

"Zhao Yao, what's the matter with these people looting the granary?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Zhao Yao's thin facial features were filled with hatred, his eyes glistened, and he quickly reported to Nangong Lingtian: "My lord, this matter was all caused by the prefect of Tan, together with the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce. People, raised the price of grain from the original seven Wen a dou to twelve Wen a dou, the common people could not afford food, many people were starving and thin, and even some children starved to death That’s why the incident of looting the granary happened today, but according to my subordinates, the common people would not dare to do this, for fear that someone might instigate it.”

Outside the carriage, Zhao Yao, the magistrate of Youzhou, continued to state the ten crimes of Tan Fang, the magistrate of Youzhou, such as bullying men and women and committing crimes, exploiting the common people, making the common people miserable, what one person said, who in the government would disobey him Willing to be killed, although he is the magistrate, he colluded with merchants and plotted against the people. Originally, Youzhou was a poor place. Although there are a small number of rich people, most of the people are still poor, but However, these unscrupulous dog officials and unscrupulous merchants joined forces to raise the price of rice. The price of rice was only sold for four or five yuan a bucket elsewhere, but it was sold for seven yuan a bucket in Youzhou. It was nine Wen coins, but now it is twelve Wen coins a bucket. The people have no financial resources, and where can they buy such rice noodles, so the rice looting happened.
