Daoist Lin sister [Red House]

On the long official road, there are no people in the front or back.

The trees on both sides, with their branches and leaves all fallen, stand there dryly, just like the dark and unclear sky, which makes people feel oppressed and heavy.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Suddenly a gong sounded.

At the end of the official road in the distance, there was a long line of soldiers and soldiers, and there were people who looked like government officials holding up the "avoidance" booklet.

The sound of gongs spread far away along with the cold wind.In fact, the biting cold wind in winter has already driven out all the civilians for this big official who didn't know where he came from.

Not only did no one come to bump into the guard of honor, even the few flying birds that were rarely seen in the woods rose up upon hearing the sound and fled.

The Pianna officials seemed to think that the ostentation was not grand enough, so in addition to beating gongs to clear the way, they also ordered their entourage to drink non-stop.

Shouts of "imperial envoys on tour" came one after another, piercing through the sky, wishing that people ten miles away could hear them.

You ask, who is this high-ranking official who is domineering and showing off his authority?I don't think you can guess.

But it turned out that it was Lin Ruhai, an imperial envoy who was ordered to go to Pingan Prefecture for disaster relief!

It stands to reason that human life is at stake, and the snow disaster is ruthless.It is a very urgent matter to provide disaster relief, and Lin Ruhai is good at riding, even if he doesn't ride a horse, he should take a car and rush there quickly.

However, Lin Ruhai was sitting in his eight-carried official sedan chair, as stable as Mount Tai, and every time he went to a place, he had to come out from Hexian County to greet him, to sing the gongs to clear the way, and to proclaim his prestige.

In Lin Ruhai's words, it was to let the common people know that the Holy Majesty was sympathetic to the people's livelihood and cared about the people's sentiments. Hearing that Ping'an Prefecture was hit by the disaster, he specially sent imperial envoys to take charge of the disaster relief.The emperor's kindness is mighty, and the people of the Li people must know it, and they must be grateful!

However, the emperor was busy with state affairs and couldn't come in person, so he, the imperial envoy, was acting as a relief on behalf of the heavens.Therefore, ordinary people, and even officials from various places along the way, should treat him, the imperial envoy, with the attitude of worshiping heaven and respecting heaven.

If someone dares to show the slightest disrespect, it is blasphemy.The end was the same as the last "troubleman" of the imperial guards, who was tied up with a rope and kept running along with the grain carriage almost without touching his feet!

Not to mention the common people along the road, even the officials of several counties in the suburbs of Beijing were frightened by such an official like Lin Ruhai.

He said that he would open a warehouse to release grain, but without saying a word, the local officials handed over the grain accumulated over the years.By the way, sacks of gold, silver and jewelry were mixed with grain and carried into Lin Ruhai's private carriage.

As a result, all the prefectures and counties that opened warehouses honestly and gave gifts generously were safe; officials who hesitated a little and did not send money were all reprimanded by Lin Ruhai in front of their colleagues, subordinates and common people, almost on the spot. dismissed from office.

Lin Ruhai hadn't entered Ping'an Prefecture yet, and his reputation as a ruthless and vicious official had already been heard in every corner of Ping'an Prefecture.

Even though Daiyu, Yongyu, Yang Yi and the others were disguised, they would rest and drink their horses on the way ahead, and inquire about the local officials and the local style, they must first listen to others scold Lin Ruhai as "a dog." Official imperial envoy"!

"Ah-choo! Ah-choo!" Sitting in the carriage, poor Daiyu sneezed twice.

Yong Yu, who was riding by the window, was also speechless when he heard the sound.

"Uncle Yang, here, is there any medicine for sneezing?" Yongyu raised his voice and asked Yang Yi who was leading the way.

Yang Yi turned his head, squeezed his eyes narrowly, and said: "Who made our master an evil official, corrupt and greedy, full of all kinds of evils! One day, the master can correct his evil and return to the right, and the girl's sneeze will naturally heal without medicine. "

Daiyu who was in the carriage heard the words, opened the curtain, gave her master a supercilious look, and said angrily: "Uncle Yang, my nose is crooked, you still have the heart to tell jokes!"

"Hahaha..." Yang Yilang smiled and turned his head, lifted the reins of the horse, and the horse flew away.

Behind, Lin Neng was driving Daiyu's carriage, but had no choice but to keep up.

Yongyu hurriedly helped Daiyu put the car curtain in place, then turned around and asked the fifty imperial guards pretending to be servants, to be careful in their descriptions and not reveal their secrets.

In the carriage, Zijuan supported Daiyu to sit still, and felt sorry for her sneezing all day long, for fear that she would touch Daiyu's forehead and cheeks because of the wind and cold after traveling all day.

Daiyu smiled and declined politely: "I'm fine, it's just that Daddy pretended to be too similar, and it made me suffer from ear and nose problems."

Zijuan heard the reputation and looked, and sure enough, Daiyu's ears were red and looked hot.

"However, the master made the official voice so bad..." Zijuan was still a little worried.

Daiyu advised, "Don't worry about it. As long as the disaster relief imperial envoys control the disaster, the greatest achievement is not to kill people, but to reduce the number of deaths. If you can get rid of those corrupt officials again, you will be a once-in-a-century Master Qingtian! Before this A little sacrifice, but it will become a good story."

"What's more, misfortune is where blessings rest, and blessings are where misfortune lies. Since Dad is the servant of the Ministry of Officials, of course he remembers all the officials who have passed under his hands this time. The proud officials today, the officials of the Ming Dynasty It is true that there is no security for the black yarn. At that time, the evil officials will be removed, and the common people will naturally know the truth!" Daiyu added.

After hearing this, Zijuan suddenly realized, and finally felt relieved.

"It's just," Daiyu suddenly changed the subject.

"Just what?" Zicuckoo hurriedly asked.

Daiyu frowned and said, "We pretended to be the family members of the officials and went to join the father of the foreign official. Although we heard a lot of truth along the way, it was still guesswork by others. What is the situation in Ping'an Prefecture, we have to go in to know. Although Dad did a good job on the surface, he deceived people for a while, but after all, people and ghosts always go on different paths, and once he enters Ping'an Prefecture, he might be exposed!"

Zicuckoo followed her worries again, and hadn't had time to speak.

Yongyu, who had been outside the carriage and eavesdropped on the movement inside the carriage, hurriedly said: "Sister——"

This time, the two of them turned husband and wife into brothers and sisters, and Yongyu pretended to be an elder brother, and took his sister-in-law to Jinling to join his father.Yang Yi is the head steward of the family. He was ordered by his wife to personally send his brother and sister out of the hospital.

In addition, the fifty imperial guards are servants and nurses who carry things.

Zicuckoo and Asparagus are still maids and book boys respectively.

A group of people lightly drove Jian Cong to do the unannounced visit in front of Lin Ruhai.And Lin Ruhai was making a big splash behind, intending to attract all the attention of those colluding officials.

The plan of the two groups of people to repair the plank road and secretly plan for Chen Cang has been carried out very smoothly so far.

It's just that people have short-term worries without long-term considerations. Daiyu has other thoughts, and she is afraid that Lin Ruhai will make a slight mistake, so she will inevitably repeat and worry unnecessarily.

"Sister," Yongyu heard Daiyu's worry, and quickly persuaded, "Although Jinling is far away, let's walk slowly, and we will arrive one day. Although there are some disasters in Ping'an Prefecture, it's none of our business. Let's stay in the hotel for dinner, and leave when we have enough rest. The local officials will take care of us for our father's sake. Sister, don't worry!"

Although it is a long official road and the wilderness, after all, Daiyu and his party have entered the territory of Ping'an Prefecture, so they need to be careful when speaking, so Yongyu comforted him with side-talks.

Daiyu also knows the reason why soldiers come to cover up water and earth, but it is inevitable to think too much. Hearing this, she replied with a smile: "Naturally, with Uncle Yang and elder brother here, I am not afraid of anything!"

When Yongyu heard this, he couldn't help but worry too much!What wind, frost, rain and snow, dusty, exhausting, please come more violently!

…………

The blizzard has finally stopped.The sun was glowing with a circle of white light hanging in the sky, and the thick snow on both sides of the official road had already condensed into ice, and there was no sign of melting at all.

Daiyu and others finally reached the gate of Ping'an Prefecture.

However, the gates of the city were not closed as Daiyu and the others expected, but the gates were wide open, and occasionally pedestrians came in and out, but there were no business travelers.However, the guards in front of the city gate looked like they were facing an enemy. Not only those who entered the city, but also those who left the city had to go through strict inspection and interrogation.

Yang Yi took the lead and walked forward, took out the guide and booklet to the city gate guards for inspection.

The guard looked Yang Yi up and down, and then looked at Yongyu, who was sitting high on the horse, with a youthful spirit and an extraordinary demeanor. He believed Yang Yi's words to seven or eight points in his heart, but he still asked, "Where are you sitting in the carriage?" Who is it? What are the boxes in the back?"

Yang Yi accompanied him with a smile and said: "On the carriage are my girl and her maid, just two of them. The family behind me transported the girl's box, clothes, and the son's books. When we go to Jinling to join the master, we need things. I brought a little more, please accommodate me." He said, quietly handing the man a silver ingot.

The soldier guarding the city secretly weighed the weight of the ingot in his sleeve. Seeing that Yang Yi made such a generous move, Yongyu was even more handsome and dignified. If he said that they were not family members of officials, he still wouldn't believe it!

Money can make ghosts turn the millstone, and with a wave of the soldier's hand, Daiyu entered the city without being checked.

The city is also extremely depressed, the shops and houses along the street are all closed, and there is no one on the road.The pedestrians I saw occasionally at the gate of the city did not know where they went.

The cold wind rolled the dead branches and leaves on the ground, flying together with the snow foam.The whole city of Zhou was as dead as a dead place, without a single human voice.

Daiyu looked out of the car window, seeing such a scene, she couldn't help her heart beating wildly.

Yongyu also frowned deeply, and after glancing at Daiyu, he rode up to catch up with Yang Yi in front of him.

At this moment, the fear in Yang Yi's heart was greater than the two of them!Yang Yi has traveled far and wide for many years, and what he pursues is to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.In the past, the place to go, not to mention Zhoucheng is a small mountain village, at this time, it is already full of chickens and dogs, and people's voices.It's so empty and deserted, and you don't even hear insects and birds, unless it's a plague that kills people and animals!

However, judging by the appearance of the city gate guards, it really doesn't look like there is a plague.What's more, there was a disaster in the first place, and the local officials were eager to blame it on the plague. Once people died, they would be wiped out. There was no way to check whether there was disaster relief or corruption!It is impossible for Ping An officials to use such a good excuse!

Then it is not an epidemic!

Yang Yi was contemplating, when Yongyu patted his horse and rushed over.

"Uncle Yang, something is wrong in this city! Where have all the people in the city gone? But it doesn't look like there is an epidemic. Could it be that everyone has been circled by the local officials?" Yongyu asked in a low voice.

Yes!If you want people to stay still, there is nothing but death, which is off.

"Or," Yang Yi suddenly thought of another situation, his eyes blushed, and he looked at the closed door on the street in shock and said, "They all sleep in the house?"
