I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

"By the way, the reason why I arrested you is not only about your nephew, but also the last content of the letter."

The garrison general lowered his head and stared blankly at the letter that fell in front of him.

This is a letter written by the bandit leader, which details the cause of the incident.

Said that they were only forced by life, so they went to the city to plunder food.

Sending people to attack Shenjiying was just to entangle Shenjiying and prevent them from coming to beat them.

They also stated in the letter that they did not harass the people when they entered the city, but only took food.

After they get the food and leave, they will immediately disband and become the people of Ming Dynasty honestly.

In order to hide their names and not be pursued by the court in the future, they killed members of the Lin family who knew their identities, and revealed that the Lin family wanted to murder the grandson.

At the end of the letter, the gang of bandits also provided a message.

Some time ago, the relief food was burned, and it was the Lin family who ordered the garrison general to do it.

And it shows that those that were burned were not actually food, but empty warehouses and some straw.

The real food had already been taken to the Lin family's warehouse by the garrison general.

"Slander... This is all slander, Your Highness... The general is loyal to the imperial court, and even fought for His Majesty for many years. How could the general do such a rebellious and unscrupulous thing."

Zhu Zhangui sneered at the struggling garrison general.

If this letter was left by a real bandit, he would still be skeptical, thinking that it might be a conspiracy by the bandit.

But bandits are not real.

And this information was confessed by Sima, the gatekeeper in the north of the city.

As a garrison general, when the court's disaster relief food arrives, it is necessary for the garrison general to send someone to guard it.

With such a unique opportunity, the garrison general thought about swallowing up this batch of relief food and handing it over to his father-in-law for sale, so as to earn a fortune.

After the food was delivered, in order to prevent the court from finding out, the garrison general asked his confidant, who was also his nephew, to set fire to the empty disaster relief grain storage warehouse.

"Is it slander, explain it to Jin Yiwei and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment!"

Zhu Zhangui waved his hand, and the two guards dragged away the garrison general who cried out loudly.

Looking at the garrison general who was dragged away.

Lu Xin felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

He seemed to understand.

His Royal Highness, this guy is planning to let this guy top the tank!

Think about it too.

The city was breached by bandits, more than 23 shi of grain were robbed, and hundreds of people were killed, which even involved the theft of disaster relief food.

Although the Lin family should die, they should not die at the hands of bandits.

With so many things happening, the imperial court must be held accountable, and someone must stand up and be responsible for this matter.

Although Zhu Zhangui is the biggest here, he is a grandson, so it is impossible for him to be pulled out to top the tank.

He, Lu Xin, is a member of His Royal Highness, and he also participated in these matters, so it is impossible for him to take the blame.

And it happened that this garrison general embezzled the relief food some time ago.

As a general defending the city, it is a serious dereliction of duty if the city that is not defended is captured by bandits.

And it's the worst kind.

If you said that it was captured by the rebel army, it would be understandable, after all, the other party can also be regarded as an army.

What are bandits?

That's the garbage of garbage.

You are a dignified garrison general, but the city was breached by bandits, you are simply incompetent waste.

He made a big mistake before, and he was responsible for losing the city, so he was not under Taisun's subordinates.

If you are not pulled out to take the blame, who will take the blame.

As for whether this guy will say something that shouldn't be said during interrogation in the future.

Lu Xin was not worried at all.

He can assure it with his toes.

Before the sun comes out, this guy will definitely commit suicide and write his guilt on the wall.

The reason why Lu Xin is so clear about the next fate of the garrison general is because this routine is already the most common routine in the officialdom.

Throughout the officialdom of the Chinese court, apart from those who were willing to take the blame, there were a few who were forced to take the blame and lived for more than 12 hours.

Thinking about the fate of the garrison general, Lu Xin couldn't help looking at the corpses moved by the soldiers, and Zhu Zhangui who was appointing a new garrison general.

With a low sigh, I couldn't help feeling in my heart:

"Everyone in the world says that people in the officialdom are ruthless and ruthless, but they don't know that people in the royal family are more ruthless and ruthless than officials."

Chapter 107: News enters the capital.

"The bandit who killed a thousand swords, my food!"

Heart-piercing wailing sounded in every grain store and granary in Jinan Prefecture.

The grain merchants in Jinan Prefecture looked at the empty granaries and smashed stores, and they wanted to cry without tears.

The few who couldn't stand it passed out with a bang, causing chaos.

The onlookers and disaster victims were both relieved and worried when they saw the grain merchant crying heartbreakingly.

To my relief, these blood-sucking worms finally received their retribution.

What worries them is how they will live without food.

Although the prices of these grain merchants are high, some ordinary people with savings can still afford it.

The victims hoped that Taisun could buy the grain from these grain merchants so that they could survive this disaster year.

Now the food is gone, and there is no hope.

Many people began to think in their hearts, but if they can't survive, they should just fight.

Since you can't live as a commoner, you can follow the example of those bandits and plunder everywhere.

Although it may not end well in the end, it is better than starving to death and being eaten by others.

"The food has been released, the food has been released, His Royal Highness has released the food!"

When the atmosphere became more and more dignified, shouts of surprise reached the ears of the victims.

The victims and the people heard clearly what the other party was shouting, and they froze in place.

His Royal Highness is going to release food!

The common people and the victims shook their heads vigorously, after confirming that they heard correctly.

With a bang, everyone was blown up.

The common people and the victims didn't have the heart to watch the excitement, they ran home and the victims' camps, took all the utensils to hold things, and rushed to the grain storage place frantically.

The grain merchants who were crying in the grain stores and warehouses felt even more bitter when they heard the news.

They also received the news that the Lin family received yesterday.

His Royal Highness Taisun got the food from somewhere, and planned to hit their prices and force them to lower the prices.

Originally, they planned to take it hard.

In their thinking, even if the grandson could get food, it probably wouldn't be too much.

As long as they grit their teeth and don't lower the price, they will still be the final winners when Taisun runs out of food.

But now, everything changed overnight.

Their food was gone, and in order to avoid being searched, they did not store it at home.

Now, they have also become disaster victims.

"Don't clean up your motherfuckers, go back and get things to buy food."

A grain merchant wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at the servants who were still packing up the corpses and sundries, and roared angrily, telling everyone to go back and get things to buy grain.

Although there is no food in his family, there is plenty of money.

He doesn't want to make money anymore.

The most important thing is to get the food first so that the family can eat.

The huge flow of people rushed to the grain distribution camp outside the city like a tide.

The people in the city, plus the disaster victims outside, totaled 8 to [-] people.

Adults shout, children cry, men scold, women howl...

All kinds of voices are mixed together, and the noisy people's brain hurts.

"Everyone keep quiet!"

When the crowd was about to arrive, Lu Xin, the governor of Shandong Province, stood up with a tin horn.

But there were too many people at the scene, and his shouting was covered by the noise.

"This general, can you fire a few shots to calm them down!"

Lu Xin looked at the people and disaster victims who still needed to talk and scold their mothers, and helplessly asked for help from the officers of the Shenji Battalion who were maintaining order.

Naturally, the officer would not refuse this small request for help.

"Load, raise gun, let go!"

"Bang bang bang bang..."

A row of gunshots rang out, scaring the people who were talking loudly and the victims shrank their heads, and all looked to this side.

"Let me listen to everything!"

Lu Xin cleared his throat and looked at the victims who had calmed down.

"These grains are not given to everyone for nothing, but need to be exchanged for money or labor."

"What... still need to spend money and work, didn't you mean to send it to us?"

"Yeah, we don't have any money. Isn't it natural for the court to provide food for disaster relief? Why do we have to work with money?"

As soon as Lu Xin finished talking about the conditions for the distribution of food, the victims and people below became dissatisfied.

They have become like this, and the imperial court still wants to get money from them.

As expected, the officials were the same as those businessmen, and they didn't have a good thing. They drank the blood and ate the flesh of the common people in a perverted way.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Another row of gunfire, the scene fell silent again.

"The price of grain is 70 cents a bucket, and you need to show your official register when you buy it. If you don't have it, you won't sell it. And to prevent people from reselling it for profit, the selling officials will give you a three-day quota based on how many people there are in your family." food."

"And the yamen will send people to inspect, and anyone who is found to be selling food privately will be severely punished!"

"Those who have no money can use their work to pay for it. You will be given as much food as you work."

"If you don't want to pay, you don't want to work."

Lu Xin's face turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "If you don't want to work or pay, you will end up starving to death. The imperial court doesn't have that much food to support these lazy people."

Lu Xin didn't explain the reason, but just told these people how much the food costs and what they need to do to get the food.

Still the same sentence, what do ordinary people know.

Instead of explaining to them something they don't understand, it is better to tell them the results and consequences directly.

After hearing the imperial court's arrangement, the victims and common people below looked at each other in blank dismay.

Although I feel a little dissatisfied with this, the court is the court, and as long as they have a way to survive, they dare not resist.

Soon outside the food camp, there were several long queues.
