I don't want to be wronged again

Chapter 48 Chapter 49, Qingzhou 3
Sun Zhangyang agreed with a smile, and asked Sun Hanbai and Sun Hanli to come forward to meet Shibo.Gu Guangyi pulled one up with each hand, and smiled like a spring breeze blowing on his face, showing no pretensions.He said to Sun Zhangyang: "These two are good boys." He asked the housekeeper to prepare two gifts for Han Bai and Han Oak.

But it turned out that his wife, Mrs. Wu, wanted to stay in Jinling to take care of Gu Cong because he was studying at Jinling Academy, so she stayed in Jinling with her two children and did not follow her to Qingzhou. Therefore, there is no mistress in the Qingzhou government office. .Gu Guangyi treats his wife very affectionately. Although he married the Wu family when he was humble, when Gu Guangyi just won the Jinshi, there were many high-ranking and wealthy families who liked his elegant demeanor and outstanding talent and wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law.They were all rejected by him on the grounds that he already had a wife at home.After ordering Hanlin, he immediately took his wife to the capital. The two have been loving each other for all these years, and there is not even a concubine at home.People in the capital all praised Gu Lang for his righteousness and never forgetting his wife.The crown prince once praised Gu Guangyi: "Gu Lang is handsome and unique in the capital." Girls in the capital are always proud of being able to win Gu Lang's attention.It's just that Gu Guangyi often throws fruit carts and doesn't look at others, which breaks the hearts of the girls in Beijing.

He and the Wu family have a son and a daughter. The son is Gu Cong. He is 12 years old this year. He is as handsome and talented as his father. He was admitted as a scholar when he was only 12 years old. Now he is studying in Jinling Academy. He is a new generation of Jinling talents. one.My daughter is one year younger than Han Li this year, and I heard that she is also very handsome and talented.

After Gu Guangyi and Sun Zhangyang took their seats, they smiled and said to Han Bai and Han Li: "Don't say anything else, Brother Gu, your homework is still solid. If you go to Jinling in the future, let him guide your homework."

Han Bai Han Qu nodded in agreement.Seeing the anxious look in Han Bai's eyes, Sun Zhangyang knew what he wanted to say, and nodded slightly to him, indicating that he needn't be anxious.

Immediately said to Gu Guangyi: "I traveled all the way from Jinan this time, but I saw that the drought is quite serious in this area. I wonder how you are here?"

Gu Guangyi's expression suddenly became heavy: "You may have seen Runqi, the drought this time is not only serious! It's almost reached the point where there are thousands of miles of red land! You and I are our own people. To tell you the truth, there are already people under my jurisdiction in Qingzhou. It’s a miserable situation of changing sons and eating!” His eye sockets were red: “The people are living like this, I am incompetent as a parent and official! I have submitted the paper to plead guilty to the Holy Majesty, and the Holy Majesty’s judgment will come down in about a few days , if my Usha is spared, maybe I will take Brother Sun’s car back to my hometown.”

Sun Zhangyang was surprised: "Why is this? The drought is severe and the people are in dire straits. Why didn't the imperial court send people to help? Besides, your Qingzhou warehouse has ample food, why don't you open the warehouse to release food?"

Hearing this, Gu Guangyi slapped the table indignantly, causing the teacup on the table to be overturned, and the tea flowed all over the floor. When Gu Guangyi saw it, he didn't care to speak, so he quickly lifted the teacup, and raised his hand to remove the remaining tea in the teacup. After drinking it, he said with a wry smile: "It's not easy to get this water now, and there are not many wells in the city that can produce water. Don't waste it."

He continued with a wry smile and said, "Run Qi knows who is in charge of the house in Qingzhou City? I, the magistrate, is just a ox and a horse for others. Not to mention the unbearable filth under my armpits every day, it's okay if nothing happens. If something happens, I have to cover the tank for others. What’s the fun of me as a magistrate? Why don’t I go home and be a teacher, lead two Mongolian children to study, keep my ears shut and only read the books of sages. It's better than watching the victims starve to death while being unable to do anything, suffering from such heart-wrenching pain!"

Han Li was clever, seeing that the following words were obviously not suitable for children to know, he pulled Sun Hanbai to stand up and leave.Gu Guangyi nodded and asked the housekeeper to take them out to rest.

When only Sun Gu and Sun Gu were left in the hall, Sun Zhangyang frowned and said, "You're talking about King Qi?"

Gu Guangyi nodded and said sarcastically: "Exactly, this Qingzhou is his fiefdom, and everything in this Qingzhou is his private property. He treats all the grain in that warehouse as his confinement, how could he be willing to let it go for a while?" The grains came out! That would have killed him!"

Sun Zhangyang said: "Then the people of Qingzhou are not his people? How can he be willing to watch people starve to death?!"

Gu Guangyi sneered and said: "How could he care about the lives of ordinary people! In his eyes, the people are nothing more than ants, even worse than pigs, horses, cattle and sheep! Let alone half dead, even if they are all dead, what does it matter!"

Sun Zhangyang shook his head and said, "That's unlikely. If all the people in his fief are dead, how can anyone grow grain for him and pay taxes?"

Gu Guangyi smiled: "Who is there? They moved from Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Jiangxi! Or they moved from Hunan and Hubei. Do you think there is a native of Qingzhou's current people? Isn't it all over the years? Come! This is like killing and eating all the pigs and cattle in the pen, or they are all killed by the plague, and then catch a batch from everywhere. It doesn’t matter whether you live or die. Anyway, this world belongs to their family, and pigs and sheep are everywhere. .This was originally—" He lowered his voice: "The royal family is used to it."

Sun Zhangyang was furious, and said angrily: "Didn't the Taizu have an order that the vassal king is not allowed to interfere with political affairs? Now he is so blatantly expropriating, brutal, and cruel, no one can rule him?!"

Gu Guangyi sneered: "I'm a dead pig now and I'm not afraid of boiling water. Even if I resign from office, I will get rid of this scourge for the people of Qingzhou! To tell you the truth, I have already had people search for him who is greedy for food relief. Evidence has been submitted to impeach him. It will only take a few days to calculate success or failure."

Sun Zhangyang frowned and said: "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier, so I can ask Haifu to come forward and say something for you."

Gu Guangyi shook his head and said, "How much risk would it take to overthrow a hereditary and irreplaceable prince? I really can't escape myself. I'm only on the cusp of this matter. How can I bring you in again. Besides, I still want to If nothing happens, and you are still here, and can help me keep my wife and children, I will be relieved."

Sun Zhangyang comforted him: "Why did you come to this point, don't worry, I will write a letter to the Duke's mansion right away, asking the Duke and his old camera to talk to you for you."

He said so on the lips, but he was really depressed in his heart. After all, Sun Zhangyang was not sure whether Duke Hai could help him.The two sat without saying a word, but you and I drank a cup of wine, and the wine was so sad that both of them became very drunk after a while.

It was the first time for Han Li to see this Uncle Gu. Seeing his outstanding demeanor, Gu Cong must be no different, so he was very happy for Zhanyi.Seeing Han Bai lowered his head and looking worried, he comforted him and said, "Don't worry, after all, Uncle Gu is the boss here, so it must be possible to find clues about your brother. But now you see that the Qingzhou city is sparsely populated, and the victims must be I went to other places, maybe my big brother followed me?"
