Chapter 86 Committing crimes against the wind On the gate of the city, Xu Xin looked solemnly at the densely packed crowd below.

"Sir, do you think the food we brought can keep the victims alive for a few days? Do we need to send more people to buy food?"

Dao Yan on the side sighed deeply and said: "The food in the neighboring counties may have been sold out long ago, and even if there is still some leftovers, the price will be sky-high. The remaining food, I think I can last for six or seven days. Bar."

Xu Xin frowned: "No way, so much food is only enough for six or seven days?"

"My lord doesn't know that the food we brought was enough for a period of time. However, when the nearby victims heard that there was food in Binzhou Prefecture, almost all of them rushed here. After all, this place may be their only hope. The old man counted yesterday After a while, there are now hundreds of thousands of victims under the city..."

Seeing the orderly porridge stalls, Xu Xin sighed sincerely: "Fortunately, Mr. Yuan has a little prestige here, and the former officials and gentry can obey orders."

Dao Yan nodded noncommittally.Officials can act honestly, in fact, apart from Yuan Gong's own prestige, there are also reasons for Xu Xin and Huangchengwei, but Dao Yan didn't tell the truth. good impression.

"My lord, there is another question now." Dao Yan was thoughtful, and then pointed to some of the victims who had slightly different expressions.

"Look, my lord, those people have ruddy faces and clean appearance. They are different from other sallow, emaciated and sloppy disaster victims. They are probably from the original city. They pretended to be disaster victims and mixed in with the crowd to receive relief food. If there is no accident , officials and servants of the gentry all mixed in."

After Xu Xin heard this, he was furious: "You mean that there are still people who dare to enrich their own pockets at this time! The official has warned them, and the head of the sheriff is still on the plaque! How dare they commit crimes against the wind!"

Dao Yan shook his head helplessly: "My lord, not everyone is a sage of Confucius and Mencius, perhaps this is human nature."

"I think back then, Emperor Taizu hated people who were greedy for ink. He once decreed that officials who embezzled more than 60 taels of silver would not only be punished with the head of an owl, but also peeled day lilies and stood outside the earth temple to scare people with crooked ideas. people."

"In the later period, it was even decreed that if they found out, they would be punished by the three tribes of Lingchi, Huachang, and Yi, but the officials continued to follow suit, and even the founding father Chang Yonggong was not spared..."

"Mister is resourceful, can you think of a way."

"I don't know, my lord. If it wasn't for Ting Yu's prestige and your Imperial City Guard, I'm afraid that none of the money and food we brought would actually be used for the victims..." Dao Yan sighed.

"No, we have to think of a way. The people below are all real people! How can we let the beasts eat the life-saving food of the victims."

Xu Xin said anxiously.

At this moment, Guo Xiang bounced up to the tower, wanting to bring the good news to them.

"Brother Xu, I have found the brothers of the Beggar Sect and asked them to help keep an eye on all the victims. If there are rebels from the White Lotus Sect lurking inside, they will notify us as soon as possible."

Guo Xiang flattered Xu Xindao, she was still thinking about fun and delicious food.

After hearing Guo Xiang's arrangement, Xu Xin finally let go of a big stone in his heart.

At first, I was still worried that someone would conspire against others and incite the victims to make troubles. Now that the beggar gang is helping to monitor, the pressure on the Imperial City Guard will be much easier.

"Then I would like to thank Miss Guo on behalf of the victims, but there is still a thorny problem. You have a lot of bad ideas in your head, please help me."

"What does it mean to have too many bad ideas, speak up! Hmph!"

"Uh, blame me. Sister Guo, you are talented and intelligent..." Xu Xin praised Guo Xiang desperately.

"Stop stop! Disgusting, my sister doesn't care about you anymore, just tell me." Although Guo Xiang replied like this, she was of course very happy.

Xu Xin smiled happily, and then told her the question.

Guo Xiang lowered her head and pondered for a while, and immediately came up with a "ghost idea".

"You guys are really stupid! The victims are so hungry that they can even eat tree bark. Do they care about the taste of the food? You can add some ingredients to the porridge, chili oil, vinegar, whatever. It's unpalatable and what to add!"

Xu Xin covered his face: "When I didn't ask... the victims are starving to death, and you still add chili oil to it, can it be eaten by people?"

Dao Yan on the side was overjoyed after hearing this, clapped and laughed and said: "Haha, Miss Guo is really kind and hearty, she really can hit the door of life without playing cards according to the routine."

Xu Xin looked at Dao Yan and Guo Xiang puzzled.

"My lord, if you starved for ten and a half months like the victims in the city, would you still care about the taste of the porridge? I think you would drink it in one gulp even if it was full of sand and stones." Dao Yan laughed speak.

"However, the gentry family members and servants of corrupt officials' families who were among the victims did not suffer from hunger. They ate normal meals. How could they be able to drink the porridge 'made' by Miss Guo?"

"Also, we only need to try one round, together with our brothers from the beggar gang among the victims, we can find out all the fake victims at once, and then provide normal porridge." Guo Xiang added proudly.

Hearing this, Xu Xin looked at Guo Xiang excitedly, couldn't help but lift her up high, and then hugged her tightly: "'Xiao Dongxie' is really not a name for nothing, I love you to death!"

Then hurriedly jumped off the tower.

Guo Xiang was stunned by the sudden hug, her pretty face gradually flushed out, she covered her face with her hands, shouted "stinky rascal" angrily, and ran down the tower.

Dao Yan looked at the two people in front of him, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There will be another good show when I go back, but I don't know how Miss Mu and Miss Wang will punish you, hahaha."

Under the city tower, Xu Xin ordered the captain who was cooking porridge to add chili oil to it.

The surrounding Imperial City Guards and the servants of Binzhou Prefecture were all taken aback after hearing this.

But after getting along for a long time, the people in the imperial city guard are used to Xu Xin's doing things, and they didn't say much. They went to the city separately to search for chili oil and added it to the porridge, while the yamen servants all whispered. , as if talking about something.

"Okay, let's take it out to give out the porridge!" Xu Xin ordered.

Although the victims saw a layer of red oil on the white porridge, their longing expressions did not diminish by half, and they still lined up in an orderly manner.

But some of them have already begun to feel uneasy seeing this situation.

Finally, a man covered in patches jumped out, knocked on the broken bowl with a wooden stick and shouted, "My lord! The porridge is full of chili oil! What do you want us to do! Are you bullying us victims?"

Before the words were finished, another person jumped out: "Yes, my lord! How can you add food to the food distributed to us by the imperial court? How can we satisfy our hunger!"

Xu Xin looked at the two of them and did not speak. At this time, the crowd echoed from time to time: "It has been cooked again! Otherwise, we will distribute the rice and let us cook it ourselves!"

Just when the two were proud, they suddenly found that all the victims were staring at them quietly.

Xu Xin sneered, and in front of everyone, picked up a small bag of rice and dipped it into the chili oil.Then pick it up.

"Anyone else want it?"

"Yes! Give it to me, sir! I'm not afraid of spicy food! Our whole family is not afraid of spicy food!"

"My lord, give it to me first! My old lady hasn't had enough to eat for a long time!"

The victims raised their hands and shouted towards Xu Xin.

The two who jumped out first looked at Xu Xin in horror, and the cold sweat began to ooze slowly.

And the faces of those who agreed just now all changed drastically.

Chapter 87

"If we take it back, the boss won't scold us to death?"

"If you don't take it now, you may be beaten to death by the Imperial City Guard first..."

"late……"

Seeing Xu Xin walking towards him, some clever people have already knelt down, hoping to be leniently dealt with.

"Do you think the white porridge I added to you is hard to swallow?"

Xu Xin looked at them blankly, then waved his hand, pulling out all the people who had just made a fuss.He fell directly in front of Xu Xin.

"Speak, be smart and explain everything clearly. I don't bother to send you to prison, you are not qualified yet." Xu Xin said grumpily.

"Who on earth has the guts to call you here! How many people are there!"

The leader of the trouble is now scared to pee, and keeps kowtowing for mercy.

"My lord, don't use torture, all the little ones will be recruited. I am the steward of the Wang's family, and there are a total of 20 people from the Wang's family including me."

The housekeeper and bookkeeper all spoke up, and where others dared to hide anything, they all confessed on their own initiative.

"My lord, we have recruited them all. I am from Li Dahu's family, and 30 people have come."

"My lord, I'm recruiting too. I belong to Zhao Ju's family, and there are 64 people here."

"My lord, I am..."

Not long after, the team in front of the porridge shed slowly divided into two groups. Xu Xin found out that the number of fake victims of the big dog family was not much less than the real victims!

"Good! Very good! You are very good!" Xu Xin looked up to the sky and laughed.

"You bring people! Catch all those bastards they mentioned! If you don't want to come, just break their legs and bring them here!" Xu Xin gave an order with a fierce look in his eyes.

Not long after, the guards of the imperial city arrested several people like carrying chickens.

When they saw Xu Xin, they all burst into tears and kept kowtowing for mercy.

Xu Xin released a powerful coercion, and there was a faint smell in the crotches of several people.

They all knew the person in front of them, and as soon as they met, they sent the sheriff to see the King of Hades.

Originally, I just wanted to continue the disaster relief and see if I could get some food.

But who knows, I just walked in...

Now that I have fallen into the hands of the "Living Hades" Xu Xin, I can't imagine the consequences.

"Master Xu, I beg you to see my teacher, Mr. Gao Ge, and let me go. I won't dare in the future."

Xu Xin pointed to the plaque on the city gate: "I heard that he is also Gao Gong's lover, do you want to send you to accompany him?"

"Master Xu, my uncle is from Dongchang, please let me go for his sake..."

"The factory supervisor of the East Factory still calls me brother. What are you?"

"My lord! I..."

"To shut up!"

"My lord! I mean, I am willing to donate all the food, and 5000 taels of silver! Please let me go, my lord."

"You have given me a good idea!" Xu Xin smiled slightly.

"Proceed with the order, all those involved in the case will be fined and their property will be confiscated! All servants involved in this case will be imprisoned. By the way, they will only be allowed to beg in the future! They will not be allowed to do other things! Otherwise, they will be beheaded as a public display!"

The local tyrants and evil gentry who were kneeling on the ground all stared at the man just now, and then couldn't stop howling and begging for mercy.

"My lord, please let us go, this way we are not much different from being dead!"

The confiscated family property was accumulated for a lifetime or several lifetimes, how could they be willing to give it up to others, not to mention begging for a living in the future, how could they feel at ease.

"Oh! Let's all go to hell! See if the victims have enough to eat! How dare you spend your time on relief food! If it weren't for this official website, I would have killed you first and confiscated your property!"

"The villain accepts the punishment! Accepts the punishment! Wuwuwu..."

With a wave of Xu Xin's hand, the Imperial City Guards escorted them all down.

The silent crowd cheered again at this time.

Originally they just wanted to barely have a bite to eat, but it is no surprise that officials and gentry are greedy for money and food.

Unexpectedly, the imperial envoy not only fed them, but also punished the local tyrants and evil gentry.

In less than an hour, the guards of the imperial city searched the property of the few people just now.

After Dao Yan finished counting, everyone was shocked.

The confiscated property was nearly ten million taels!And the grain stored in the warehouse was much more than what Xu Xin and the others transported.

It can be said that if the wealthy households were willing to open granaries to give out porridge at the beginning, there would be no famine at all, let alone victims of disasters.

Xu Xin looked at the handbook presented, and was a little agitated while being angry.

It's really a wealthy family's wine and meat stinks. There are frozen bones on the road.

They have such a family background, and they are still thinking about the rice porridge for disaster relief. Fortunately, with their money and food, they don't have to worry about the follow-up matters.

"I just said how could they have no money and food to donate." Yuan Gong, acting as the county sheriff, said after reading the manual.

"A few days ago, I begged the rich businessmen and gentry in the city to donate money and food to relieve the victims. They all cried to me that they were poor. I really didn't expect that just one of them could feed the victims for ten and a half months."

After Xu Xin heard Yuan Gong's words, he immediately recruited the guards of the imperial city, and said angrily, "Drag the few who were dragged in just now to the gate of the city and chop them up! Just as a warning to others!"

Extraordinary times use extraordinary means!

Xu Xin wanted to use the lives of these few people to educate the other rich and unkind gentry in the city. It is time to come out and contribute his own strength. In this way, there is no need to worry about the problem of money and food. It's worry-free.

The action is simple, but the effect is extraordinary.

The disaster victims ignored Xu Xin's reneging, but the other gentry were afraid that Xu Xin would be dishonest.

The next day, a convoy was arranged early to deliver food to the porridge shed outside the city.

If you don't take the initiative to learn more about it now, when envoy Xu Qin comes to the door, it's still unknown whether you can live or not.

In line with the idea of ​​exchanging small for big, in just one day, three months of rations were raised, which is enough for post-disaster reconstruction.

A famine that might have caused turmoil was finally resolved.

It was up to Yuan Gong to do the rest.

Xu Xin was finally able to relax and think about the traitors of the White Lotus Sect.
