Drunk Qingqiu

The victims outside each Mihang were shouting excitedly, and the movement of smashing the door became louder and louder. When people were not paying attention, there seemed to be more and more people in Jiangning Mansion with all kinds of simple weapons.

Although there are guards in the rice shop, but I have never seen such a posture, and my hands tremble.What is even more hateful are those green battalion soldiers, who were clamoring in front of the door yesterday to prevent the rice shop from selling rice, but when it comes time to use them, there is no sign of them.

Mi Xingdong's family also complained in their hearts, officials big and small in Jiangning City, their three festivals and two lives did not miss any gift.In this critical time, no one is willing to take care of them.

Just as the door was about to be smashed open, there was a rush of horseshoes on the front street.Not long after, a few fast horses arrived in front of the crowd, and the first one had a brand-new stone blue official robe, and a too young and delicate face under a red official hat decorated with Dongzhu.

"Everyone stop!" Yinzhen's horse neighed and fell silent after being led by him.

This is the first time Yinzhen changed into an official uniform when he went out after arriving in Jiangning, and the effect was remarkable. Even the victims of the riots couldn't help but calm down.For the people in the government, ordinary people will always involuntarily feel a little fear.After a while, I realized that I was afraid that it would be an act of rebellion if I put on a weapon and wanted to dismantle the rice line, so why should I be afraid of him.Thinking of this, the heart of fear is also reduced.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Yinzhen dismounted from his horse. Yinxiang, Gao Wen Gaowu, Zhou brothers, Lin Yu and others followed closely beside him.There was a slight smile on Yinzhen's indifferent face.He strode up to the people, looked at the people who had calmed down, but their eyes were starting to look unfriendly, and said loudly: "Everyone stop, listen to me, you surrounded the rice line with shouts of beating and killing, just for food, if I I am sure to solve this problem for you. You don't have to take risks, and you won't get stuck with the government here. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to hide in Tibet in the future?"

The voice is crisp and gentle, and it has a force that makes people feel at ease.

The people around Yinzhen stopped their hands first, Yinzhen's words hit their hearts.But I have some doubts in my heart. It is rare for court officials to be so close to these ordinary people. How can such an unusually bright young official decide what to do?Or is this just an excuse to delay them.

"Who do you think you are? You can solve the food and rice problem for us. Don't tell me it's something that the governor of Jiangsu can't solve. Once you say it with empty teeth, we will believe it?" A shrill voice in the crowd said.

"That's right, these officials are all protected by officials. Don't listen to him."

"Since I said it, I will definitely do it. If you don't believe me, you should also know that the Jinxiang Rice Shop in the city has always sold rice at a low price. That is also my shop. I have been thinking about it for the past few days. There are ways to curb the price of rice." Yinzhen explained, but did not say a word about the rice sent out.

"I know that rice shop, Baobuqi, what the lord said is true!"

"Yes, if someone is willing to make decisions for us, the whole family will be saved."

……

At this time, another person said loudly: "I think he came out to persuade us because he was afraid that we would rob him of his rice line. Brothers, don't listen to him, go up. Instead of waiting for him to rescue us, why not wait for him to rescue us?" It’s better to do it yourself, and it’s true to hold the money and food of these profiteers.”

Yinzhen has already determined that someone is mixing in the crowd to sow discord.Moreover, many of the victims were holding shining real knives and guns. Yinzhen squinted her eyes. These were definitely not ordinary victims. Could it be that someone with a heart took advantage of this riot?

Gao Wen, Gao Wu and the others also drew their swords to protect Yinzhen. Yinxiang was secretly worried when he saw it. Brother Nine was really too risky to come here.In this case, if both sides hurt a person, it will cause an irreparable situation.

When the two sides were at war, suddenly a path was opened among the victims, and a middle-aged man led the two of them over.Compared to the fear of Yinzhen, these common people were actually a little in awe of this big man, and they all avoided it.

The man walked up to Yinzhen and clasped his fists together: "My lord, we don't want to rebel. This is nothing more than being forced to rise up, kill corrupt officials, and protect the hungry people. If you are sincere in helping these hungry people, please follow me." Go and meet our master."

Revolt?It turns out that things are no longer as simple as disaster victims rioting.What's going on with this so-called master?Bandit or rebel leader?If you go, it's too risky. If you don't go, your statement just now will be meaningless.

Yinzhen hesitated for a moment, and before Yinxiang opened his mouth, he said: "Okay, I'll go with you. Gao Wu, no matter what method you use, take the thirteenth brother to the fourth brother." Yinzhen subconsciously felt that these people were not worth it. A treacherous and evil person, and—Yinzhen narrowed his eyes, with Gao Wen and Lin Yu around, he really didn't believe that these people could do anything to him.

If the crisis is resolved without bloodshed, it will be regarded as a relief for Kangxi.Thinking of the figure of Kangxi in Qianqing Palace crouching at the desk approving memorials, Yinzhen didn't hesitate any longer, and led people to follow the man out.

"Everyone stop first, wait for the words of the boss." With a word from the man, those with swords in the crowd, as well as the rioting victims, fell silent.It seems that this person has a high reputation among the disaster victims.

After Yinzhen followed the man for a while, Yan Chengyou and others rushed over with the servants.Seeing that Yinzhen was no longer in the crowd, she stomped her feet.No matter what, I shouldn't have allowed that young master to do things just now, if something really happened...

Yinzhen was taken out of the city and walked up a nearby mountain. When he reached the mountainside, he saw countless houses, and people with weapons walked past from time to time.Yinzhen was annoyed to find that many of these people knew martial arts. Could it be that these people who took the lead in the rebellion were bandits, but they had never heard of bandits near Jiangning...

Bring Yinzhen to the side of the largest house, there are many people standing around the yard, the middle-aged man winks at one of them.The man nodded and opened the door for Yinzhen.The middle-aged man who brought a few people turned around and stopped Gao Wen and the others: "Everyone, please wait a moment, our master only sees this lord."

Gao Wen's face changed, Yinzhen pressed his hand and shook his head.It's all here, and it's no longer wise to use force.

He turned around and opened the door and entered the room, looking at the leader of the 'rebel army', he couldn't help being taken aback.This master is actually so young.

Standing in the room was a handsome young man in his early twenties, with a slender and neat figure, sword-shaped eyebrows that slanted into his temples, and there was a cynical and unruly expression between his brows.When Yinzhen entered the room, the sword in the young man's hand was already heading straight for Yinzhen's neck.

"Boom!" The iron-sharpening sword pierced the door frame half a foot straight, and because it was too close, Yinzhen felt a slight chill on his neck.

With a mocking smile on his lips, the young man was staring at Yinzhen, and said lazily: "I never thought they would actually cheat me back with an official. It seems that our rebel army can finally sacrifice the flag, choose a day to kill corrupt officials, and rescue the victims. "

"Tsk tsk," the young man raised Yinzhen's jaw with one hand, looked at Yinzhen for a few times, and then glanced at Yinzhen's supplementary clothing: "What kind of supplementary clothing is this? Python? You are a super product? It seems that we have really robbed a treasure. "

Yinzhen took a step back, and said lightly: "Sacrifice the flag, you keep claiming that you are a rebel army, and let me come to negotiate. But now you don't believe what you say, what kind of rebel army is it?"

Holding the sword, the young man laughed loudly, "The grass bandits in the mountains are not as trustworthy as you scholars. However, aren't you also the fish and meat people? Now that you are on my territory, I just want to kill you. What can you do to me?"

Yinzhen had a look of helplessness on his face, and said with a wry smile: "It is really easy for you to kill me now, but you have to go against your original intention of the uprising. I am the current ninth brother Yinzhen, if you kill me, the emperor will be furious, Do you really disregard the rebels and disaster victims who follow you? Or can you decide to bear the reputation of being a traitor instead of them?"

The young man's face was still cynical, but his eyes were stern, and he stopped talking.Yinzhen is right, if his identity is true, killing this person will cause great trouble.

Yinzhen continued: "On the contrary, since I promised you as the ninth elder brother to get rid of corrupt officials, open warehouses to release food, and relieve victims of disasters, I will definitely do what I say. Besides, I came to see you in person, didn't I already express my intentions?" Sincerity? If I really don't care about the life and death of the victims, how can I be in the current situation where people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat."

The young man was overjoyed when he heard the words, took back his sword and carried it on his shoulder, and said, "Your words are somewhat believable. However, what you said can be done in a few days? I don't want to see people starve to death." .Also, if you really let you go back, how can I believe that you will not immediately send troops to get rid of us in the name of suppressing bandits?" Such a person who is not afraid of danger and has quick eloquence and thinking, if he keeps it, if he is an enemy, he must be rival.But killing him would be more troublesome, and the young man felt embarrassed.

Yinzhen thought about it for a moment, and said: "Two days, give me two days, and I will distribute the rice to the victims." At this point, Yinzhen looked at the young man in a blink of an eye: "If you are worried, I will get rid of them." You guys, if you take advantage of this peace talks and vote for the imperial court, I can guarantee that no one will embarrass you. I am afraid that such a life is not what your brother likes?"

The young man raised his eyebrows immediately, and said with a sneer, "As expected of being a member of the royal family, it is a good plan. We have not only asked us to withdraw our troops, but also recruited many people. If we really become members of the imperial court, we will not let you go." Lost?"

It is human nature for young people to be scruples about this.Yinzhen was in a dilemma: "Then how do you want me to promise you?"

The young man walked back and forth for a few steps, and said decisively: "The people in our cottage are people from the rivers and lakes and disaster victims from the mountains. It is not difficult for you to recruit security. You have to promise me a few conditions: First, all our brothers are still stationed here Second, no matter who you send here, I want to be the boss here. Within 30 years, the head here must be someone from our cottage. If I don’t want to be the next boss, I will naturally choose the next boss. I can’t Brother Xia’s life is in someone else’s hands, of course we will abide by military laws and regulations.”

This is a bit difficult to handle, the appointment and dismissal of officials is not under Yinzhen's control.What's more, even if it is to recruit security, Kangxi will definitely know, even if he agrees to set up another military camp here, Yinzhen has no idea whether he will appoint the leader of the rebel army.

"Of course, if you don't agree, we have nothing to discuss. The left and right are dead, and I will use you to sacrifice the flag, and then toss it to my heart's content." There was faint excitement in the young man's eyes, and it was obvious that the flag had died down now. Not what he wanted.

"Okay, I promise you." Looking at the situation, Yinzhen had no choice but to agree.

"Also, I will let you go now. If you open a warehouse to release food and resettle the victims within two days, I will definitely go to Jiangning City to find you," the young man said.Before leaving, Yinzhen was forced to sign a document and write down all the terms of the promise.

"If you haven't done it, we can count on the teacher's reputation based on the written evidence you have set up. Then you will be the one who will trap the people in unrighteousness." The young man said with a rather nasty smile.

Yinzhen smiled: "Don't worry, I will wait for you in Jiangning City within two days." He opened the door and went out.

Seeing Yinzhen walking away with a group of followers, the young man stretched his waist and said, "Come here, go and invite the military advisor over here."

Immediately a minion came out from the corner, and said yes to go.

After a while, a young man in white pushed open the door and walked in with a folding fan in his hand.Seeing the unsatisfactory expression on the young man's face, he smiled and said: "Why is Ting like this, but Brother Jiu has promised you, so you have no reason to send troops?"

The young man rolled his eyes at the military adviser: "If it weren't for your unmistakable ideas, I really don't want to give up this leisurely life. If you want to talk about uprising, how many people in Jiangnan will respond, who would be afraid of them?"

The white-clothed military commander shook his head, "If the rebels really rise up, you and I will not be afraid. But firstly, it is now the time of the Qing Dynasty, and there is no way to shake the root; secondly, it will be the common people who will suffer at that time. A few days ago, I occasionally After meeting this ninth elder brother, he can be regarded as a trustworthy person, otherwise I would not dare to entrust my brothers to him."

This military master in white is obviously the one who gave the painting to Yinzhen that day.

"Fengxuan, since you have met Brother Nine, why don't you come out and negotiate with him. Are you really not afraid of my impulsiveness and leave him in the cottage?" Wei Tingzhi, the head of the family, asked strangely.

"I'm already a juren, so naturally I can't meet him here. When I'm an official in the court, we're both in the light and in the dark, so I'm not afraid that we won't be able to keep our brothers."

Wei Tingzhi chuckled: "Sure enough, the military division is thoughtful."

.. ......

After Yinzhen went down the mountain, she kept silent and walked forward with a blank expression.

Gao Wen saw that something was wrong, so he grabbed Yinzhen, but saw that his palms were sweaty, and his body was still trembling slightly.It suddenly dawned on Yinzhen that it wasn't that she wasn't afraid, but that she just held on so that she didn't show her flaws.If he was afraid, those people would definitely not ask for extravagant prices, but they would never have the possibility of paying back the money on the spot.

"Jiuye, it's okay." Gao Wen said softly, followed Yinzhen into the cottage, Gao Wen had already made up his mind to keep Yinzhen safe no matter what.

The tension in Yinzhen's heart loosened, and suddenly he felt weak all over, so he raised his head and wiped the sweat from his brow.

Lin Yu persuaded: "Master Jiu, otherwise let's have a rest first."

"No, we have to hurry back as soon as possible, there are still a lot of things to do." Moreover, I don't know if Yin Zhen knew about his reckless behavior this time, if he knew, how anxious he should be.

They had no choice but to follow Yinzhen into the city in a hurry.

The disaster victims surrounding Mixing did not disperse, but they were ordered not to move anymore.

Yinzhen asked all the rice merchants to gather together, and said without much nonsense, "You guys remember the official document from yesterday."

Liu Ping knelt down first, "Master, I am willing to donate most of the grain and rice. You can sell the rice at a low price or at a low price. As long as the group of people disperses, I will listen to you."

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay for a while, and they all expressed their willingness to donate rice grains.Although several people didn't know who Yinzhen was, he was already the only one willing to take care of them.

When these human beings donated 300 million shi of rice, Yinzhen nodded, "It's ok, you can sell the rest like Jinxiang Rice, and sell rice at a low price. You don't need to feel bad. Since you have contributed to the relief of the victims, the government also needs some subsidies. Within three years, these rice shops of yours will be exempted from taxes." Yinzhen also sent tens of thousands of shi of rice to the porridge shed in the past few days. After squeezing out so much food from these profiteers, I immediately felt relieved.

The following few words made these businessmen feel a lot of comfort, and the frown was no longer on their faces.

Yinzhen said again: "Go back first, don't worry, the disaster victims will disperse tomorrow." The next day Wei Tingzhi will come to the city to look for him, and naturally there will be no victims of the disaster.

300 million shimi is enough for the victims of the disaster in the whole province.Don't look at how huge the amount is, it's much more cost-effective to share among the dozens of rich merchants than to be robbed.

.. ......

As soon as he arrived at the governor's yamen, he saw that Yinxiang was summoning many yamen servants.

Seeing Yinzhen from a distance, Yinxiang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pushed the soldiers who followed him: "Quickly report to the fourth brother, and say that the ninth brother is back." He had already rushed over and looked up and down: "Ninth brother, You want to kill us? I'm going to bring someone to save you!"

"Are you injured?"

Seeing him anxious, Yinzhen was moved, took his hand and said, "Brother Thirteen, I'm fine. The situation was special and I couldn't take you there."

When Yinxiang heard this, his face sank, and he turned his head and ignored him.

Yinzhen came out of the governor's office at this time, with bloodshot eyes, seeing the intact Yinzhen, he lowered his face, "Nonsense, do you know your identity? Huang Ama didn't let you come to Jiangnan to despise yourself My life is coming! Are you going to let me practice the family law?"

Yinzhen was very tired, and said with a smile, "fourth brother, I was too impulsive at that time, and I worried you and thirteenth brother. However, I have succeeded in curbing the price of rice; there is another piece of good news. "

Yinzhen looked at him with complicated eyes, finally sighed, and pulled him towards the mansion.Seeing the tired look on his face, he took him directly back to the room.

Yinzhen has been busy since the morning, and has not eaten yet, so someone set up the table immediately.

The three brothers didn't care about their image, so they ate in a hurry.Yinzhen will explain in detail about the grain and rice and the recruiting of the rebel army.Yinzhen was overjoyed, got up and walked around a few times, his face was full of excitement.When he calmed down, he didn't praise Yinzhen, but scolded Yinzhen for half an hour because he didn't care about his own comfort.Yinxiang was escorted back to Yinzhen's side because of the critical moment, and he was dissatisfied with helping him.

After Yinzhen blamed him, he found that Yinzhen was lying on one side and fell asleep.

"..." With a dark face, Yinzhen stepped forward to adjust Yinzhen's posture, and pulled the thin quilt to cover him.His movements were different from his expressions, they were very gentle.

"Fourth brother, it's all over now. You have already investigated and dealt with the evidence of corruption and deficits, and ninth brother has settled the grain and rice. The next thing is to give Huang Ama an account." Yinxiang leaned over to Yinxiang Beside Zhen, said.

Speaking of those shortfalls, Yinzhen's face seemed to be frozen again, "The moths of these countries always claim to be the sacred heart of the upper body and understand the opinions of the people. Now they don't even care about the lives of millions of disaster victims! People die every day, I Seeing them eating, drinking and having fun at home is very comfortable and comfortable! Even the riots, they dare to push it to the ninth younger brother, so treacherous and lazy. We have done everything, what is the use of these fools! No matter what these people are today Whoever is behind it, I will never tolerate it."
