The husband is a love brain

At the gate of Ganlong County, soldiers took turns standing guard.In order to prevent accidents, these days the checks on the people entering and leaving are very strict.

Li Shangshu sent someone to send a letter to the king of Chu in advance, and when he entered the city, he was not stopped or interrogated.

The king of Chu was waiting for them at the county government office. Before he had time to rest, Zhao Shutong followed Li Shangshu and Lin Shangshu to visit the king of Chu.

"See King Chu."

Zhao Shutong, Li Shangshu and Lin Shangshu were led to the King of Chu by Ling Feng, the adjutant of the King of Chu.

"The two imperial envoys will be excused quickly. The king has long been looking forward to your coming. The journey was hard, and did you encounter any danger on the road." The king of Chu said to Li Shangshu and Lin Shangshu with concern.

The king of Chu and the emperor are three points similar in appearance, but they are taller and burly than the emperor. The evil spirit gathered between his eyebrows adds a bit of majesty to him. It is not an exaggeration to call him a cold-faced evil spirit when he does not speak. Knowing that this person is actually not aloof.

Zhao Shutong sensed from King Chu's eager tone that the prince couldn't wait to dump the mess in Ganlong County to them.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Shangshu said to King Chu, "My lord, can you send some people to escort the disaster relief food brought by the officials into the granary."

"It should be, this king will ask General Zhang and Huang Xiancheng to assist you."

After King Chu's words fell, an elegant middle-aged man stood up behind him and saluted, "I pay my respects to the two imperial envoys and the county magistrate."

When Zhao Shutong saw the middle-aged man salute him specially, he knew that this middle-aged man was probably Xin County Chancellor of Ganlong County.

The previous county magistrate died unfortunately when the people attacked the county government. The new magistrate Huang was the successor of the deceased county magistrate's family. In the days when Zhao Shutong was not here, the political affairs of Ganlong County were all handled by this magistrate Huang. Assist the king of Chu to take care of it.

"You are Pei Shen's brother-in-law." King Chu looked Zhao Shutong up and down casually.

"It's the lower officer."

"Pei Shen has been shrewd all his life, but he missed you." The King of Chu said meaningfully, "Last year when you married Pei's brother, I missed it when I was not in the capital. The King will give you a gift instead."

"Thank you, my lord."

The King of Chu choked, "As expected of Pei Shen's brother-in-law, Weng and his son-in-law together have thicker skins than the city wall, so I feel relieved that Ganlong County will be handed over to you."

Zhao Shutong heard the thoughtless words of King Chu, and felt that there was a high probability that he was angered by the prince.

"The next official will definitely live up to the prince's high expectations."

The King of Chu wanted to say that he didn't have any high hopes for Zhao Shutong, he just wanted to hand over Ganlong County as soon as possible, but this occasion is not suitable for saying that. Disaster relief.

Suddenly a young general rushed in, and he didn't even have time to salute the king of Chu, "Your lord, the two imperial envoys are not well, the relief food was surrounded by the people who heard the news, at least 500 people gathered, and the people heard the news They're rushing over."

Li Shangshu and Lin Shangshu were also shocked when they heard the news. They wouldn't want to lose the relief food at the gate of Ganlong County.If the relief food is robbed by the people, how can they provide relief.

King Chu angrily crushed the teacup in his hand.

"My lord, this batch of grain is for disaster relief in Ganlong County, so it cannot be taken away." Li Shangshu said.

"Don't be impatient, my lord, let the lower officials check the situation, my lord, please send someone to follow the lower officials." Zhao Shutong said.

"Zhang Fu, you take people to protect Zhao county magistrate, Ling Feng seals off the food relief area, and no one is allowed to go there from now on." King Chu restrained his anger and ordered.

"Follow your orders." As soon as King Chu's order was issued, General Zhang and Deputy General Ling went down to recruit people.

"The lower officials will also go with the county magistrate." Huang Xiancheng begged for orders.

Huang Xiancheng, a native of Ganlong County, wanted to follow, and Zhao Shutong naturally would not refuse.

The food for disaster relief is now outside the city gate of Ganlong County, and without entering the city, Zhao Shutong rushed over directly with the people arranged by General Zhang.

When we got to the place, we saw many people holding hoes and other agricultural tools, and they were confronting the soldiers escorting the grain.

The soldiers also pointed their weapons at the civilians, neither giving way.As long as there is a fuse, the two sides can fight at any time.

In the ranks of the common people, someone shouted from time to time, asking the soldiers to hand over the food and waiting desperately with the soldiers.It is the duty of these soldiers to protect the food, and they will not let people take away a grain of relief food without an order from above.

"Everyone, make way, the new county magistrate is here." Huang Xiancheng asked someone to notify Zhao Shutong of his arrival.

"Another dog officer."

"Officer Dog, hand over the food."

"It's not that these grains were given to us by the imperial court. Hurry up and distribute the grains to us."

After a while, Zhao Shutong was surrounded by the attracted people.

"Folks, please listen to me quietly. These grains were allotted by the imperial court to help the people of Ganlong County to tide over the difficulties. Everyone has a share. Don't worry, let the grains go into storage first, and wait two days after tomorrow. When the county government distributes relief food, everyone will bring their household registrations and call relatives and friends to pick them up." Zhao Shutong said.

But people who are hungry do not buy his account.

"Who knows if the food will be given to us after it enters the warehouse."

"The last one surnamed Liu gave Huo Huo the county government's granary."

"The people who are officials are all in the same group. They only care about their own enjoyment, and they don't care about our lives. With this batch of food, we can survive this winter. We have so many people, the law does not blame the public, and the court can still treat us. We will all be killed."

Under the instigation of caring people, the people wanted to grab relief food again.

The crowd was chaotic, Zhao Shutong was hit on the side of the face by a small stone thrown from a tricky angle, and a bloodstain was drawn immediately.

Zhao Shutong pulled out General Zhang's saber by his side, and slashed at the arm of a man in front of him, blood was immediately sprinkled on the surrounding land.This man is the one who shouted that the law does not blame the public. Zhao Shutong noticed him just now. Among a group of people who were crying for food and wanting to survive, this man was very organized. Whenever the people showed signs of being persuaded by him At that time, they jumped up and down to encourage the people to snatch food from the government.

"Have someone put this person in prison for interrogation, and find out his accomplices." Zhao Shutong ordered Huang Xiancheng, who was standing beside him, to say.

"Yes, sir."

Not only Huang Xiancheng, but even the troubled people were suppressed by Zhao Shutong.

"Have you had enough trouble? Open your eyes and see that there are [-] dans of grain here, which are distributed to farmers with no harvest to help them tide over the difficulties. Hundreds of people in your district are robbing tens of thousands of grain rations." , What are you going to do, rebel or learn from those profiteers who sell at a high price to make money for the country! I know that some of you have suffered these days, but now is not the time to pursue this, what we are facing is how do we all live together Only the government has the ability to distribute these grains to the people in need. If you hinder the government from doing business for a day, a few more people in Ganlong County will starve to death!"

"But why should we trust you?"

"The previous county magistrate also said that it was for our own good to let us grow golden corn, but what happened."

"The corn fell, and the county magistrate didn't care about our life or death."

"This official is also a person with parents, wives and children. When I think of my parents, wives and children suffering from hunger, I feel uncomfortable. Naturally, I can't bear to let the parents, wives and children of the common people go hungry." Zhao Shutong replied.

"What you said is not enough to make us believe you." A young boy suddenly came out of the crowd and said angrily, "The way you cut people just now, what's the difference between those dog officials who carelessly ignore human lives."

"The man in blue just now instigated the people to rob the government of disaster relief food. I have reason to suspect that he is a spy sent by the nearby thugs to steal the relief food. I have already handed him over to Huang Xiancheng for interrogation. As a result, the official will issue a list to announce to the people."

The spies of the gangsters, the people exploded all at once.

They were actually instigated by bandits to rob the government of things.

"What evidence do you have?" The young boy said without giving up.

"Just because every commoner standing here is pale and emaciated due to long-term hunger, and the man just now is strong and muscular. This is not what a refugee should look like. Everyone present is qualified to ask the government for food. He didn't."

The young boy pursed his lips and did not speak.

"I haven't introduced myself to you yet. My name is Zhao Shutong. I am from Zhongxiao Village on the outskirts of the capital. I discovered the sweet potato at the beginning, and my Yue's family dedicated it to the emperor. My husband, you should I have heard that because of the anecdote between the official and her husband, the common people like to call him the Sweet Potato Empress. Zhongxiao Village was originally called Shitai Village, because 400 million catties of sweet potatoes were donated to the northwest for the emperor's worries, and the emperor personally gave the title to the village The reason why the emperor asked us to come to Ganlong County is to let the people of Ganlong County live and work in peace."

Hearing that Zhao Shutong found sweet potatoes, the crowd has already started to exclaim.

Sweet Potato Empress, Zhongxiao Village, these words from Zhao Shutong's mouth are familiar to the people of Ganlong County.

When they heard that Zhao Shutong's husband was the Sweet Potato Empress, the common people tended to calm down.Not far away, the King of Chu ordered his subordinates to say, "Go and fetch Zhao County Magistrate's husband."

"Yes."

"My lord, this place is dangerous. If you let Zhao County Magistrate's husband come over, Zhao County Magistrate may be dissatisfied." Mr. Cai, the king's aide, reminded.

This is not the place for concubines to come.

"Since we have enjoyed the prestige given by the people, it is right to do something to appease them. Besides, when Zhao Shutong takes over Ganlong County, we should leave. You still want to stay here for the New Year. "The King of Chu said, he really can't stay in Ganlong County any longer.

Brother Huang's speed was really too slow, the imperial envoys did not come until a month after the riots in Ganlong County.

In order to keep these people who have run out of food from starving to death, he used his own face to fight the autumn wind everywhere in other government offices, only to exchange for such a small amount of food.

I'm exhausted from arguing with those civil officials, and the common people are still making trouble here every day.

These cumbersome things should not be done by a general like him.He would rather go to suppress the bandits than stay in Ganlong County to preside over the affairs of a county.

"This county magistrate of Zhao is more decisive than Pei Shen." The king of Chu praised Zhao Shutong when he thought of how he did not hesitate to slay someone with a knife just now, "I don't worry about handing over Ganlong County to him."

Mr. Cai has been with the King of Chu for several years, so he naturally understands the grievances between the King of Chu and Pei Shangshu. Seeing that the King of Chu doesn’t look like he has any grudges against Zhao Shutong, Mr. Cai said, “Your Majesty, County Magistrate Zhao was also gambling just now. .”

Bet on whether these people will become docile or fierce after seeing blood.Only if they are intimidated, the crisis will be resolved.Now it seems that the county magistrate Zhao has very good luck.

"Such a bold civil servant is indeed rare." Chu Wang said.

The civil servants he has seen are all weak scholars who have no power to restrain chickens. Of course they dare to kill people. They may have more methods than their military generals, but basically none of them are capable of fighting gangsters and enemies. They can only wait for others Protect.

When Zhao Shutong was urging these people to disperse and go back to their homes, when he turned around, he suddenly found Pei Qi's carriage coming towards this side.

"Qiqi?"
