[Comprehensive] Host, welcome

Chenzhou, also known as Huaining Mansion, has a long history, which can be traced back to the time when Taihao Fuxi established the capital.Because it is close to the border, there is little rain all year round. In recent years, drought has been severe and famine is everywhere.The emperor was concerned about the country and the people, and he always cared about the common people. Knowing the famine in Chenzhou, Sacred Heart was very anxious, so he sent people to rescue the disaster, release relief, and opened the official warehouse to distribute grain and rice to the people.

The person who releases relief must be a good official who is honest and caring for the people, so that he can bestow the emperor's favor on the people.Originally, Prime Minister Wang wanted to recommend Bao Zheng to go, but Bao Zheng, as the prefect of Kaifeng, was unable to get away from the capital, so he had to choose Li Hao, the servant of the household department, to go to Chenzhou to release relief.It's just that Li Hao and his party have not returned after releasing relief according to the order, and there is no news at all.

A few days ago, Bao Zheng received a letter, which said that Pang Yu, the Marquis of Anle, was extremely powerful in Chenzhou, domineering and oppressing the people.He not only embezzled the relief materials and silver, but also extorted money from the people in the name of disaster relief.After handwriting identification, it should be written by Li Hao himself.

"If you don't see people, you believe them. Master Bao guesses that Master Li may have a lot of bad luck." Zhan Zhao said in a deep voice.

"Then Pang Yu even dared to kill an imperial envoy?" Bai Yutang rubbed his chin and said, "It's different to have a grand master's father and a concubine's sister. Don't all the officials in Chenzhou flatter and obey him. This whole second emperor! No wonder he left the prosperous capital and ran to such a remote place, isn’t that what it means to be king without tigers and monkeys in the mountains?”

"Hearing what you said, I am enlightened." Princess Leping nodded suddenly, "I was a little weird at first! How could Taishi Pang let his only son go to Chenzhou so cruelly? It turned out that he wanted Pang Yu to be an invisible emperor. This If in Bianjing City, there was Bao Zheng who was stern and selfless before, and someone who was more arrogant than him later, if Pang Yu is really the kind of person mentioned in the letter, he will definitely not be able to please him."

"Is there anyone more arrogant than Pang Yu?" Bai Yutang asked in surprise, "Compared to Chai Wenyi?"

"The two cousins ​​of Uncle Wang's family are extremely favored by Uncle Wang. Fortunately, Princess Jingshan is sensible, and the two of them haven't had any major troubles yet!" Princess Leping thought for a while, and said, "It must be better than that. Shang Chai Wenyi. After all, the Chai family has an edict to avoid death!"

"The two young princes of Jingshan Wang's family?" Zhan Zhao paused and said, "I have seen them before."

"Have you seen it?" Princess Leping couldn't help being taken aback.When Zhan Zhao met and remembered, she only thought of one possibility, "Did they fall into Bao Zheng's hands?"

"The two young princes were trying to force a young lady in the brothel, but the woman refused to do so, so the young prince pushed her down the stairs. His subordinate happened to pass by at that time and rescued her. Otherwise, the The woman is either dead or injured."

"What happened in the end?" Bai Yutang suddenly became interested, "Did they be beheaded by Master Bao or were they beaten?"

Anger flashed in Zhan Zhao's eyes, and finally turned into helplessness, "The woman was threatened by King Jingshan, and she changed her statement in court, saying that she jumped off the building herself. Master Bao can only acquit the two young princes. "

"So there are cases that Bao Zheng can't solve..." Princess Leping couldn't help thinking.It seems that in order to punish the crimes of the powerful, the cooperation of the parties is still needed. If those parties are as timid as this woman, Bao Zheng will be powerless even if he wants to.

"Just put these two little princes and An Lehou together, maybe you can watch a dog-eat-dog show. Huh?" Bai Yutang exclaimed, squinted his eyes, and said, "There seems to be a person lying in front of you. by the road……"

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, and said, "There is indeed someone, my subordinates should go over and check first."

Princess Leping then rushed over.

That person was a young girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in peasant clothes, with a basket on her back.Because I accidentally rolled down the hillside when I went up the mountain to find wild vegetables, I fainted on the side of the road.

Although the girl woke up, she sprained her foot and couldn't move. Naturally, Princess Leping and others couldn't leave her alone, so they took her into the carriage and sent her back.

The girl's name is Su Niang, she has a lively personality, and she started talking to them after a while.Although Su Niang is from Chenzhou, she moved out of Chenzhou city a long time ago and lived in the suburbs.

"We happen to be going to Chenzhou!" Princess Leping thought that since Su Niang was from Chenzhou, she might be able to inquire about something.

Sure enough, Su Niang asked suspiciously: "Go to Chenzhou? There is a famine in Chenzhou, what are you going there for?"

"Isn't there an imperial envoy already there to relieve the disaster? Has the disaster situation not improved?"

"Release relief? Sounds good!" Su Niang snorted coldly, and said, "Those grains are all bought with money, and they are sold so expensive! Lie to us common people! I think the emperor came to Chenzhou to do business. !"

"Bold!" Zhan Zhao shouted, "The emperor has good intentions, how could he insult the emperor behind his back!"

"I'm not wrong!" Su Niang's small face was wrinkled, full of resentment, "It's so expensive! There's a lot of sand in it. I used a sieve for a long time to separate the rice from the sand. There is more sand than rice! Is it for us to eat rice or sand! This is not cheating money, what is it?"

"Your Majesty definitely didn't mean what you said..." Princess Leping licked her lips and said dryly.

She dared to pat her chest to assure that Brother Huang was absolutely thinking of the people wholeheartedly, no matter how poor he was, he would never set his mind on the people.If Brother Huang knew that his good intentions were not only not accepted by others, but also complained by the people, I don't know how he would feel.

Zhan Zhao pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "The relief plan proposed at the beginning was to open the official storehouses and distribute grain and rice to the common people. If the official grain is insufficient, we will buy it at a high price and sell it at a low price from those who have surplus grain. Didn't the Imperial Envoy not Follow this plan?"

"I don't know about that." Su Niang shook her head, "Since that time, my father has never gone to Chenzhou to buy grain and rice. My family always eats some wild vegetables, and my brother can occasionally hunt some prey. But More and more people are picking wild vegetables, as I only found this little today.”

"Hey? Mao'er, didn't you say that Master Bao has come to Chenzhou to check for relief?" Bai Yutang glanced lazily at Zhan Zhao, "We have been delayed in Xihua County for several days, Master Bao is now They should have arrived in Chenzhou."

"Master Bao? Which Master Bao?" Su Niang asked suspiciously, "I haven't heard of any high-ranking official coming to Chenzhou recently."

Zhan Zhao's face changed, and he said anxiously: "According to the estimate at the time, Mr. Bao should have arrived in Chenzhou three days ago. How could it be possible that he hasn't come yet?"

"Guard Zhan, don't be in a hurry. Mrs. Bao may have been delayed by something on the road." Princess Leping comforted, "Maybe someone kneeled in front of his sedan chair with a pleading paper to avenge his grievances. This is also a common thing."

"That's right, cat. We'll find out if there's anything to do in Chenzhou. It's useless for you to worry here now."

"You guys are really going to Chenzhou..." Su Niang looked at Princess Leping, Shui Pan, and Yaotai hesitantly, and said with embarrassment, "I advise the three girls not to go with them. Chen Zhou..."

"Why?" Princess Leping was a little surprised.

Su Niang thought for a while, and said: "You are my benefactors, I don't want to harm you. You are all from other places, so you don't know the situation in Chenzhou. An Lehou built a soft red hall in Chenzhou to divide the territory of Chenzhou Pretty women were imprisoned there for their entertainment. My father and elder brother escaped from Chenzhou overnight because they were afraid that I would be snatched away by An Lehou. Since then, I have never dared to step into Chenzhou The three girls are so beautiful, I'm afraid they will be..."

Although she continued to say what she said later, everyone understood what she meant.

Zhan Zhao's face was as dark as Bao Zheng's, and his eyes were full of anger, "Abducting the women of the people to make sacrifices for him, filling his own pockets with relief money and harming the people, Marquis An Le has done a lot of evil, and he must not be forgiven lightly!"

"If he wants to take people away, it depends on whether the sword in my Fifth Master Bai's hand agrees." Bai Yutang smiled, but his whole body exuded a terrifying aura.

Su Niang was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she calmed down and said: "Although the elder brothers are very skilled, but An Lehou is the uncle of the dynasty, and there will be no good end for offending him. I advise you not to go to Chenzhou .”

"Le Ping, are you afraid?" Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

"It should be because he is afraid of me." Princess Leping showed a sarcastic smile, "Uncle? Only the queen mother or the queen's brother are eligible to be called uncle. I am worried that I can't find something to do with Concubine Pang, so send it to my door Of course I can't let go of the handle."

"The girl's kindness is appreciated by us." Zhan Zhao bowed his hands and thanked, "But we must go to Chenzhou."

"W-Who are..." Su Niang swallowed.Judging from their tone, it seems that they are not young, and they don't take An Lehou and the empress in the palace seriously.

Princess Leping winked at her playfully, "You will know later. But don't complain about the emperor anymore. The emperor really wants to give relief, but he was deceived by his subordinates."

"No, no." Su Niang shook her head vigorously, "I will definitely not speak ill of the emperor again."

Although Princess Leping is not afraid of Anlehou, she still makes Yaotai and Shuipan change into men's clothes together.

A group of people entered Chenzhou, but they didn't see the tragic scene of corpses strewn all over the field, and they couldn't even talk about the desolation that they should have when there was a famine.After taking a general look at the street, it was almost the same as the Xihua County they had taken before.

"It seems to be different from what Miss Su Niang said." Bai Yutang wondered.

Zhan Zhao didn't understand either. He stopped a commoner who was passing by, and asked, "Old man, I heard that there is a famine in Chenzhou. Now it seems that it is not the same thing."

"Isn't this the emperor who sent the relief before?" The old man smiled, "So the people are living a better life again, thanks to the emperor!"

Everyone looked at each other suspiciously.Zhan Zhao and the others stopped several civilians in succession, and what they said was almost exactly the same as the old man before.

"Are they all in collusion?" Bai Yutang rubbed his chin, "The content of what they said is similar. And the way they smile is really ugly."

"I'm afraid someone told them to say that." Zhan Zhao frowned, "I'm afraid we can't find out anything now. Young master, let's go to the government first to see if there is any news about Mr. Bao."

Princess Leping nodded.

Not long after the group walked, Zhan Zhao suddenly trembled, stepped forward quickly, tore off the two portraits pasted on the wall in front, and then walked back.

"Guard Zhan, what's wrong?" Princess Leping looked at Zhan Zhao's furrowed brows, feeling that something bad had happened.

"My lord, please take a look at this!" Zhan Zhao handed over the two portraits.

Princess Leping took a look, and didn't see anything strange, but Bai Yutang next to him let out a "huh" and took the two portraits over.

"Isn't this a notice to capture Jiangyang's bandit? What's so strange?" Princess Leping asked in confusion.

"Although I have only been with them for a while, I will never admit that they are wrong. These two are the dynasty Ma Han of Kaifeng Mansion!"

Zhan Zhao nodded with a heavy expression.
