The Best Fake Eunuch

Even if the grain is laid down, more than half of it must be handed over, and the place left is quite limited.

At present, the price of white rice on the market has risen to ten taels of silver a load, and it is also priceless.

In addition, there is another section, if someone in a state or county sets up a porridge market, the victims of the disaster will inevitably flood in after hearing the news. Is that little food enough for them to eat for a few days?

If they starved to death locally, the local officials would have to bear the responsibility...

Who is willing to do this kind of thankless work, which may even cause you to lose your black hat!

Why not go to court to explain the situation?

Played it, but it's useless.

Not only did there not be one tael of disaster relief funds, but even this year's grain and rice taxes were not reduced at all!

Xiao Chen was speechless after hearing this, a feeling of powerlessness spontaneously emerged, and he felt extremely uncomfortable holding it in his chest.

Stationed in a county at night, all the local officials came to serve them again, the banquets set up were still extravagant, the supplies for offerings were still complete, and the filial piety given to them in secret was quite generous.

Facing the table full of delicacies, Xiao Chen didn't have any appetite at all, he just entertained a little, and left the table on the pretext of being tired on the road.

It made the officials quite puzzled, wondering why Eunuch Xiao looked unhappy? We didn't offend you old man either!

"Didn't you go to the banquet, why did you come back so soon?" After returning to the house and lying on the bed sulking, Chen Jisheng strolled in again.

"No appetite." Xiao Chen closed his eyes and said.

"Are you tired of eating big fish and meat?" Chen Jisheng sneered.

"Master Chen, I want to open a few porridge shops here to help these refugees, do you think it's okay?" Xiao Chen has been thinking about this matter.

"No." Unexpectedly, Chen Jisheng flatly rejected it.

"Why!" Xiao Chen jumped up, "Can't I pay the money myself?"

"Boy, you think things are too simple." Chen Jisheng sighed, "The disaster in Weizhou is serious, how can the emperor not know? He clearly knows but pretends not to know, and he didn't even issue a disaster relief order! It's just because he is in urgent need of money and food. They are ready to fight, so they don’t care about these hungry people at all.”

"It would be fine if there was a local relief, but you are an imperial envoy, if you do this, wouldn't it be against the emperor?"

Chen Jisheng made his words very clear.

"Then how about I pay the local officials to help? Or you can do it yourself." Xiao Chen chose the next best thing.

"No way, first of all, this is your act, and second, how can the local officials not know the emperor's intentions? Do they dare to openly pay high prices for food relief? Speaking of which, they are still against the emperor, as for me? A prisoner is more No way." Chen Jisheng shook his head.

"Then according to what you say, let's just watch these refugees starve! Aren't you an upright official, aren't you an admonishing minister? No matter what, you are afraid of offending the emperor!" Xiao Chen was very angry.

"Xiao Chen, you can see so much, but how much can't you see? You save the one in front of you, don't you care about the rest? And can you save them for a while, and can you save them for a lifetime? ?” Chen Jisheng said in a deep voice.

Xiao Chen was speechless.

"Doctors who are good at them always like to say a word. It is better not to cure the symptoms than to cure the root cause. It is the same with many things in the world. You just clean up the superficial wounds, but the hidden diseases at the root are not cured, so what's the matter?" Use?" Chen Jisheng looked deeper into the problem.

But it's useless for him to tell Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen is just an eunuch.

"If you want to help those refugees, you can only give them some rewards in the name of the imperial concubine, which can be regarded as your kindness." Chen Jisheng finally helped Xiao Chen come up with an idea.

"Hey, sure enough, if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, I will do it like this! But I am all bank notes, and I don't have that much cash..." Xiao Chen thinks this is a good idea.

"I have to ask the local officials for help, but they..."

Before Chen Jisheng could finish speaking, he heard a burst of voices outside, and then someone came to report, saying that the prefect and several adults from the garrison Qianhu wanted to see something!

"What happened?" Seeing seven or eight civil and military officials rushing in, all of them looked nervous, Xiao Chen was also taken aback.

"Please take a look!" The guard presented a note.

Xiao Chen took it and glanced at it, but saw a few lines of small characters scrawled on it.

When I heard that the imperial concubine came to that place, I also liked it very much. I wanted to greet her personally, but it was very inconvenient.

However, I heard that the imperial concubine is extremely beautiful, comparable to Daji, and my brothers and I are also itchy.

Therefore, the boss set up a feast of delicacies from mountains and seas. I want to invite her to have a glass of wine with me on the Black Tiger Mountain.

If she is willing to come, I will be happy, if she does not, it will also annoy me, maybe I will bring my brothers to invite me in person, but it will be fined wine!

The payment was made by Gong Heihu, the creditor of Heihushan.

"Who is this Gong Heihu?" Xiao Chen was shocked and angry after reading this nonsense, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

Gong Heihu was originally a local tyrant, also known as a big hooligan.

His subordinates gathered a group of desperadoes from the rivers and lakes and formed a black tiger gang, bullying men and women in the local area, murdering and setting fires, and doing all kinds of evil!

Later, he was wiped out by the Han army, so he hid in the Black Tiger Mountain and became a king of the mountain.

Because the Black Tiger Mountain stretched for hundreds of miles and was steep and steep, the officers and soldiers had nothing to do with him. Later, Da Zhou rebelled, and he responded immediately, and was named a guerrilla general.

After the war was settled, he felt that he had made a lot of contributions, and thought that Da Zhou would appoint him as the general soldier or something, but unexpectedly, the cunning rabbit died, and the lackeys cooked him. Not only did Da Zhou not seal his official position, he also listed all his past crimes. to kill him.

In a rage, Gong Heihu ran into the mountains again and became king.

This time he changed his banner again, and cooperated with some anti-Zhou forces. He claimed to be the Great Han General Black Tiger, and it is said that he also had contact with Tianxuanhui...

This time when I heard that Concubine Liu Gui’s relatives were passing by here, I suddenly had a whim and wanted to invite the concubine to drink with him, so I sent someone to come before night, and shot an arrow letter on the top of the city to invite him...

It can be said to be daring, what a desperado!

Guard and others were shocked when they saw Jianshu, and they didn't dare to hide it, so they rushed to report to Xiao Chen.

"How dare a jumping clown be so rampant? Could it be that he dares to lead troops to attack our county?" Xiao Chen also found it inconceivable.

"Returning to Master Xiao, the walls of our Fenzhu County are tall and strong, and he, Gong Heihu, doesn't dare to attack rashly. He is afraid that he will intercept the carriages that harass the imperial concubine on the road, so it is not easy to be on guard." The prefect Chen Ziang said.

"Gong Heihu also has hundreds of desperadoes under his command. They are all brave and ruthless, and they are extremely powerful, but they should not be underestimated!" said guard Lin Yue.

"I think Mr. Xiao should quickly notify the Governor of Weizhou County, and let him send one or two thousand people to support it." The person who spoke was Wei Qiang, who was in charge of escorting Liu Guifei's carriage in Weizhou County. That thousand households.

That is, the guy who whipped the refugees but was kicked by Xiao Chen.

At this moment, he looked panic-stricken and fidgeted, obviously frightened by Gong Heihu's letter of arrows.
