Luan and Phoenix Tribulation: A Concubine Becomes a Phoenix

Chapter 330 Dialogue with Lizheng

Two days later, the plague in the town disappeared, and the skin color of the people in the town turned back to normal. Apart from emaciation, there seemed to be no other symptoms.This Tongxu town is still dead and silent, but the gloomy and cold atmosphere has faded away. The evening sunlight falls on the ridges of every house, adding a little peace.

When Jun Qianji drove away in the carriage, the people in the town also left with them to the neighboring Qingyue Town.The people in Qingyue Town thought that everyone in Tongxu Town was dead. Now that the people from Tongxu Town entered the city, the people in Qingyue Town panicked, including Li Zheng from Qingyue Town. And Li Zheng from Tongxu Town, who lives in Qingyue Town temporarily.

Lizheng immediately sent police to block the city gate tightly, and no one was allowed to enter.

The yamen in the town is very small, and the number of arresters is limited, and it is difficult to have a soldier guarding the small city gate. It is still quite difficult to block the people of Tongxu Town.

The people in Tongxu Town had a stalemate with the police for a while, and threatened that the national teacher came to this place and cured all their plagues.The master of the country has arrived at Qingyue Town, they want to see Li Zheng, and Li Zheng has to give them an explanation no matter what.

No one would believe that the national teacher came to this remote place.But when Jun Qianji lifted the curtain of the car and walked out from the inside, the obstructive police officer was half convinced.

After all, the plague in Tongxu Town is not a joke, and these people are indeed from Tongxu Town, and one or two of them are familiar. In front of him, it didn't look like he was sick at all, and the one or two who shouted were the same.

According to what Feng Shijin had said in advance, they couldn't agree, so they took the lead and rushed in.

The arresters in Qingyue Town were afraid of offending the national teacher, but at the same time had to stop them. At this time, Feng Shijin got out of the carriage and said righteously and sternly: "My master is the national teacher of the court. If you want to enter the city now, why don't you go?" Dare to stop? If you hadn’t come here in person, you wouldn’t have known that the famine spread and killed countless people here. My teacher saw that you Lizheng wanted to discuss with Lizheng and report the disaster situation so that the imperial court could supply the disaster relief in time. If there is any delay, what will be destroyed today is A Tongxu Town, your Qingyue Town will be destroyed in the future! Human life is at stake, can you afford it?"

Everyone fell silent.

Feng Shijin shouted again: "Hurry up and open the city to welcome the national teacher in, take us to see Li Zheng!"

Everyone in Tongxu Town yelled together: "Hurry up and take Master Guoshi to see Li Zheng!"

The policeman couldn't make up his mind, after all, as Feng Shijin said, the situation was very serious.Besides, no one wants this kind of disaster to continue to spread, let alone harm Qingyue Town.Ever since, the policeman finally got out of the way and took him to Lizheng Yamen.

Lizheng in Tongxu Town saw someone coming to his door, and was caught at the door just as he was about to run away.

Jun Qianji and Feng Shijin met Li Zheng in Qingyue Town and asked Li Zheng to open a warehouse to rescue these people in Tongxu Town.Of course Lizheng was unwilling. After all, the food in his town was limited, and he couldn't even take care of the people in Qingyue Town. How could he have spare food to help the people in Tongxu Town, so he immediately refused.

This is his courage to refuse. Everyone in Tongxu Town escaped from death, so it is afraid that he will go crazy on the spot if he is just upright.Terrified, Li Zheng went straight under the table.

Feng Shijin said: "Can you wait outside first, allow me, my master, and Li Zheng to have a few words alone?"

The people from Tongxu Town just went out and stood guard outside the door one after another.

Lizheng got out from under the table, lifted his official hat, and said with emotion: "It's really a poor mountain and a bad river! The national teacher, right? The national teacher came from afar, and the small official was welcome. The national teacher Bodhisattva has a heart , but the little official is really helpless, and the word passed down from the top is to let the nearby towns not get involved in the affairs of Tongxu Town, so as not to be infected with the plague, and the disease will get worse and worse!"

Feng Shijin said: "Master Guo Shi wandered here, but he didn't know how serious the disaster is. In desperation, he just asked Mr. Li Zheng to borrow a few carts of grain, not to help them for a long time. Why should you be so panicked? A broad road is in front of your eyes, can you not see it?"

"This... I also ask the master of the national teacher to express it."

Feng Shijin smiled, and took the letter he had prepared from Jun Qianji, and said: "This is an urgent letter written by my master to the prince overnight, as long as you send this letter, it will be delivered soon." There will be supplies for disaster relief.”

Unexpectedly, when Lizheng heard the words, he smiled ambiguously, and said: "To be honest, the crown prince went south to help the disaster with great momentum. In fact, the supplies did not come here. The crops were destroyed and there was no harvest. , My Qingyue Town has survived by relying on the good harvests of previous years and some food reserves. The National Teacher wants the small officials to deliver letters, and the news here is blocked at every level. If the letter is delivered to the upper city, it will be like a stone sinking into the ocean, and there will be no news."

Feng Shijin said: "Corrupt officials are colluding and disregarding the life and death of the common people. Presumably, the crown prince must not know that there is still such suffering here. This requires the help of adults."

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said, "What do you want the little official to do?"

Feng Shijin said: "It is necessary for the adults to avoid the above and directly send the letter to the prince of the capital. Once the prince knows, the situation in Huainan will improve. At the same time, it is not a good thing for the adults to show in front of the prince. Is it a good time?"

For a moment, she couldn't guess whether it was the superiors who were in the same rank as the magistrates of the counties and counties, or whether the clean ones would clean up themselves. If the clean ones would clean up themselves, of course they would be willing to do their part for the people, but if they were in the same ranks, who would let go of a promotion? What about the chance to get rich?If all the officials in the Huainan area had the crown prince's tacit consent to form a line, then now that the national teacher has a letter to be sent to the prince, everyone would like to take the initiative to please the prince, right?

Seeing that Li was groaning silently, Feng Shijin said again: "On the one hand, you send people to deliver the letter in a hurry, and on the other hand, you transfer two carts of grain to Tongxu Town for emergency treatment. In less than a month, when the capital responds, you will You're done. You've made such a great contribution, I believe you'll be able to achieve greatness, and it's just around the corner."

When they came out from the inside, Lizheng's order also came. In the spirit of being a neighboring town, send two carts of grain to Tongxu Town to help them survive the most difficult period.

Everyone was very happy and loaded bags of grain on the cart.Among them, the quite prestigious townsman of Tongxu Town brought everyone forward, knelt down and thanked: "Master National Teacher's feelings today, the people of our town are grateful and dare not forget!"

Jun Qianji helped him up, Feng Shijin said: "You guys will have to survive for about a month, you have to believe that the imperial court will not let you go."

The man said: "With this food, we will definitely be able to survive a month!"

Later, the people from Tongxu Town returned with food, while Jun Qianji and Feng Shijin parted ways with them and continued to drive south in the carriage.Li Zheng sent them off in person, and added a little dry food to the carriage.

The carriage was driving leisurely on the official mountain road.The official road paved with bluestone slabs meanders into the distance, dazzlingly white in the sunlight.

With the wind blowing, Feng Shijin leaned against the wooden edge of the car body and narrowed his eyes comfortably.Jun Qianji said: "Aren't you afraid that the second prince won't get that letter?"
