"Report to the young master, Lord Bao has left Beijing three days ago."

Hearing this reward, Cao Bin couldn't help but be stunned.

Is this guard against himself? But no matter what the reason, he must set off as soon as possible.

However, Shandong's form at this time is like a powder barrel and may explode at any time.

If Chang Feng and others were not waiting for him, but Bao Zheng.

I don’t know if I will feel despair and give up and keep Bao Zheng in Shandong.

If that is the case, it will become a tragedy.

"Are I saving it? Or not?"

Thinking of this, Cao Bin couldn't help but look strange.

After pondering for a moment, Cao Bin immediately ordered: "Uncle Fu, gather your personal soldiers immediately and prepare the ship. I want to set off immediately and head to Shandong!"

Although his personal soldiers have only been training for two months, they can still compare with ordinary combat power of wing soldiers.

Even if you don’t expect them to really play a practical role, it is still possible to use it to bluff people. After all, this is really your own person.

But Cao Bin finally underestimated Bao Zheng, who has been famous throughout the ages.

After the Kaifeng Prefecture fleet left Gyeonggi Province, Bao Zheng had already changed into a mini-coat and quietly entered Shandong with his men.

The officials in Shandong were unaware of anything.

They turned into merchants along the way, and marched towards Jeju through Xingren Prefecture and Guangji Army.

There is nothing to see around the Guangji River. After a long period of drought, the villages along the coast are almost deserted.

But when they passed by Dingtao County, they were surprised.

This is the capital of the Guangji Army. Tens of thousands of victims who should have gathered are busy digging canals and building dikes and city walls.

Seeing this, Gongsun Ce turned to Bao Zheng and smiled: "Sir, it seems that the Guangji Army's work-for-relief work is done well. The magistrate here must be a talented person."

Bao Zheng was dressed as a member of the staff and pondered for a moment: "Get off the boat and ask about the specific situation of these victims."

After a while, his subordinates found an old man. Bao Zheng rarely smiled and said:

"Brother-in-law, I think you are working very hard. Is there enough food for every day?"

The old man smiled and said, "Are you merchants from the capital?"

Seeing Bao Zheng nodding, the old man smiled happily and said, "Then you came just right. Now we lack everything here, but we just don't lack food."

After saying that, he was a little gloating: "Now even the 'rich' in the city has come out to be a victim."

Bao Zheng asked, "Oh? Why is this?"

The old man smiled:

"The grain in the city is expensive, and the grain given to us by the government is distributed according to work, and we will try our best to give it."

"This is thanks to the imperial envoy Cao, who heard that he was the one who bought so much food."

When Bao Zheng and others heard this, they couldn't help looking at each other. Even if they used labor for relief, there was no reason to open up the supply of food, right?

If this is true, even if the food is a sea of ​​food, I can’t help but eat it like this!

This problem bothered them all the way until they entered Jeju City that they suddenly realized.

Because it is close to the water and the towers here, there are a lot of news that can be obtained, and even civilians have stated with confidence that the price of food will drop.

It turned out that the grain in the hands of local grain merchants had accumulated into mountains and they didn't care about the disaster relief food sent by Qin.

They even vaguely hoped to let the victims waste more. If there was no food to provide disaster relief, would Cao Bin feel the pressure and buy food from them?

This is also thanks to Cao Bin's impression of killing them without blinking, which makes them unwilling to risk their lives for a little uncertain guess.

Otherwise, some fires might occur.

After finding a house for temporary settlement, Gongsun Ce exclaimed:

"It turns out that Mr. Cao is using high prices to attract grain merchants, causing the local grain backlog to flood, and the grain prices will naturally drop."

"But I don't understand two things. How did he make the local grain merchants convince him?"

"Also, most of his disaster relief food payments have been used to purchase high-priced food. Even if the local food prices drop sharply, he will not be able to buy enough disaster relief food, right?"

At this moment, Zhan Zhao walked in quickly and reported:

"Mr. Bao, I have checked it clearly. There is indeed a soft red building in the imperial envoy of Zhongjing Bo."

"The contents contained are all bribes sent by local officials."

"There are several good women among them, and they were indeed robbed by local officials from civilian homes."

"I have found the husband of one of the women, and he has promised to testify!"

Bao Zheng nodded clearly and said to Gongsun Ce:

"I'm afraid this is the way to make local officials believe in him, and to join in with him, and hand over his own handle to others, they will naturally make people feel confident."

"What's more, Changfeng was recommended by Tai Shi Pang to the court, and they already have the foundation of mutual trust."

As he said that, he frowned: "As for the second point, I didn't understand it."

Zhan Zhao said in a daze: "Bo Zhongjing built the Ruohong Hall to confuse local corrupt officials?"

Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "It's still too early to say this now, let's see what he does next."

As he said that, he remembered the situation he saw when he arrived outside Jeju.

Neat and solid housing for disaster victims, clean and flat walking passages, and there are also huts and garbage dumps every few dozen steps.

If these houses were not built outside Jeju City, which new city would they think they would be?

Not to mention that this method of rescuing disaster victims has not been seen in this dynasty, even in all dynasties, I am afraid that I have never seen it.

At that time, this scene shocked the people in Kaifeng Prefecture.

"I hope he can be self-disciplined and uphold the truth. He is really confusing other officials, otherwise I will not be able to show mercy."

Thinking of this, Bao Zheng couldn't help but sigh:

"From the situation outside Jeju City, he really did something for the victims, and there were few people... "

Gongsun Ce advised:

"Your sir, don't be too sorry. If he has really changed, it will naturally be a blessing for the court."

"If he is not clean himself, it's not a big mistake to me. After all, I've given him a chance last time."

Bao Zheng waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "Sir Gongsun, there is no need to praise me, the last time we really couldn't find any evidence..."

Gongsun Ce laughed twice and said:

"I don't know where Lord Yan is, I guess it won't be too bad. After all, Master Bao is keen on his keen eyes!"

Bao Zheng did not refute this time.

Zhan Zhao saw that they stopped sighing and couldn't wait to ask:

"Then what should we do next? Should we set up a support and start investigating the case? Or should Mr. Bao personally urge them to release food."

Bao Zheng stroked his beard and shook his head and said:

"The local officials are in a state of chaos, and the Shandong appeasement envoy has control over the local army. If we clearly investigate the case, we will be alarmed."

"Once we need to secretly collect evidence and disintegrate local forces."

"Secondly, our mansion also needs to see what Uncle Zhongjing is going to do next..."

Gongsun Ce pondered for a while, then praised:

"What the Lord said is very true. If Master Cao is loyal, he can disrupt the local forces and help us break the deadlock!"

"If he is a traitor, we can collect evidence and capture them in one fell swoop..."

A few days later, Cao Bin also arrived in Jeju. He stood on the deck with his hands behind his back, looking at the local officials coming to greet him, and the cloak was floating.

"Bao Heizi didn't show up?"

Cao Bin was secretly puzzled while dealing with the greetings of the prefect of Jeju.

"No wonder he was able to stand in the court for decades without falling. He is indeed a person who has been passed down through the ages."

"It seems that I want to use me as a pioneer... I think so beautifully, let's see how I blow you out."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile proudly.

Seeing this, the prefect of Jeju hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said, "What happy event does a uncle have? Why are you so happy?"

Cao Bin smiled and said, "Because I plan to start collecting food tomorrow and continue to make money, isn't it a happy event?"

The prefect of Jeju was overjoyed and said, "When sweat was sprinkled on his forehead," he said:

"My uncle is really raining in time..."
