Chapter 119: Under the Riot

In fact, not tomorrow, but now, I can't hide it.

A tall man walked slowly toward the two of them. Before he could reach them, he was stopped by a guard with his sword drawn.

The man raised his hands in fear and exclaimed, "Sir, I have something important to report to you."

Yan Ruomeng followed the voice and saw that this man was of an ordinary nature. He was very tall. If he hadn't been hungry for several days, his back would have been straight. Moreover, from his words and deeds, he could still tell that he was a scholar.

Tang Yuchuan came to the conclusion one step ahead of her.

"But a student from Liangzhou? I wonder if he has any fame."

The man handed over his hand and said, "The student was dismissed last year and became a scholar."

After receiving the answer, Tang Yuchuan nodded towards the guard, and the man was able to approach the two of them.

"How to call it?" Tang Yuchuan asked.

"The grassroots' surname is Li."

"Li Xiucai, let me ask you, how did you know that I am an official?"

Li Xiucai chuckled, "I have eyes and can see. Just now, the man surnamed Zhang was bending down in front of you, not daring to offend you, so I guessed that you were the imperial envoy who came to investigate the death of Mr. He Jiang."

"

A trace of admiration flashed in Tang Yuchuan's eyes, "It's a bit discerning, but you risked being chopped down just to compliment me?"

Seeing Tang Yuchuan like this, Yan Ruomeng couldn't bear to look directly at him.

This guy went too far with his official tone.

"Of course not. The grassroots are here to explain to you the floods in Liangzhou. At present, Liangzhou is probably 20-30% flooded. If it gets later, when the tide recedes, you will see corpses scattered all over the fields. The grassroots boldly beg you to control the floods.

Save the people."

After Li Xiucai finished speaking, he knelt on the ground.

Tang Yuchuan raised his hand to him, "To be honest, my trip to Liangzhou was apparently for Lord He Jiang, but actually it was for the flood. However, the flood issue has not been made public yet, and I want to deal with it.

It’s also out of purpose.”

Yan Ruomeng really couldn't see it, so he helped explain.

"Isn't that right? That man named Zhang is a master of pestering. Our adults have been here for five days. He also deceived us with some fake files. We don't know that he will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to see the real files."

After hearing their problems, Li Xiucai also thought deeply.

Yan Ruomeng gave some advice, "So I'm afraid we need help from people like you in this matter."

Seeing the sign of hope, Li Xiucai suddenly raised his head and looked at Yan Ruomeng, "How can I help?"

Yan Ruomeng squinted her eyes and looked in the direction of the capital, "To make things bigger, just bring someone from the refugee camp to the government office tomorrow to compile a song about what you have seen and heard along the way, and let it spread to the capital.

.”

After receiving the clear instructions, Li Xiucai's expression became serious, he solemnly raised his hands to the two of them, and then returned to the shed without saying a word.

Yan Ruomeng yawned unconsciously, "Don't be so roundabout next time, it's a waste of time."

Tang Yuchuan showed a seductive smile calmly, "Go back and have a rest. Let Liangyu stop calling you tomorrow and sleep a little longer."

"how about you?"

"I'll sleep until I wake up naturally." Tang Yuchuan turned around and called Jinnuo and Liangyu.

The four of them embarked on the return journey.

"You also slept until you woke up naturally?" Yan Ruomeng caught up with him, "There are so many refugees outside, how can you sleep?"

"Guess, when will we be able to listen to the song you asked him to compile?"

The next day, Yan Ruomeng slept until lunch time before getting up. At noon, he followed Liangyu to casually eat some of the leftovers before leaving.

As soon as he finished his meal, Yan Ruomeng heard some movement outside.

"Liangyu, go and see what's going on outside?"

Liangyu simply packed up the dishes and ran outside, and ran back after a while.

"Master, the refugees are making trouble outside and want to arrest Magistrate Zhang. Now the officials are confronting the common people."

Yan Ruomeng was not willing to miss such a good show. He happened to be full, so he naturally took Liangyu with him to the gate of the government office.

Far away, she heard the common people yelling in unison.

"Guan Guan, arrest me and sacrifice to the Dragon King. Guan Guan, please return my fertile land, my wife and children..."

"Seeing how fat he is and how skinny we are, I just want to eat his flesh."

"If this person hadn't suppressed the news about the flood, or the imperial court would have known, how could we be in such misery that we could hardly escape Liangzhou."



There was a wave of curses outside, and by the time Yan Ruomeng reached the door, Magistrate Zhang was already kneeling in front of Tang Yuchuan, begging for help.

"I really know that I was wrong. Please spare my life."

Tang Yuchuan had a leisurely look on his face, "Master Zhang is joking, it's the refugees outside who are going to kill you right now. They're talking about a temporary flood. I'm here to handle Master He Jiang's murder case. I haven't been here for a day."

Once I see the real file, I will no longer have the authority to deal with other matters."

At present, all of my government officials are from the private sector, and they dare not take action against the refugees. If these refugees start a riot, it is not impossible to capture and kill him.

Now the only person he can turn to is Tang Yuchuan.

"The file is here for you, here it is, but you must save the official."

"I still need to verify the authenticity." Tang Yuchuan would not let go so easily.

Magistrate Zhang was anxious, with his facial features shrinking into a ball, "Oh, He Jiang is a true father-in-law official. He was the one who brutally killed the Zhou family. A group of common people came to testify. The Zhou family wanted to beat them, but some of them had strong bones and were beaten.

You didn’t tell lies even after you died, and the blood is still on the file and can’t be washed away, so how could it be false?”

Yan Ruomeng was dumbfounded as he listened. Good guy, if you are really driven, you can do anything.

"Is there blood on the file?" Tang Yuchuan seemed to have grasped the key, "But the files I looked at a few days ago are all brand new and can smell the smell of ink. Mr. Zhang, you have to give me a reasonable explanation."

Magistrate Zhang took one look at the riot outside and slapped himself hard twice.

"My official deserves to die. I was bribed by my superiors to make a fake dossier to fool His Highness. The real file is under my pillow. I hope Your Highness will be merciful and save my highness."

"Aren't you afraid that if I save you, you will be killed and silenced by the superiors later?" Tang Yuchuan called Jin Nuo to get the real file.

Magistrate Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't tell me, I will die now. Besides, no matter how big the official is, can he still beat you, Your Highness? There is a person named Tang in this world."

Tang Yuchuan chuckled lightly and ignored the kneeling person. He just wanted to see the real file first.

"Then you were still trying to fool us earlier?" Yan Ruomeng finally walked over.

Magistrate Zhang had been an official for many years, and naturally he had already realized that Yan Ruomeng was of great significance to Tang Yuchuan. Now that she suddenly appeared to question him, he did not dare to offend her.

On the contrary, it is necessary to buy the top completely.

"It wasn't the people from the Zhou family who fooled me. I heard them say that His Highness was just a waiter who didn't know the sufferings of the people. I was blinded by their words and believed them. It was only now that I saw His Highness that I realized that they were the real ones.
