Chapter two hundred and twenty sixth temptress, temptress, temptress
Seeing her nephew hugging her thighs and begging with a frightened expression, Princess Liao couldn't help but look at Li Huan with a look full of hatred.
Then Princess Liao took a deep breath, stopped in front of the royal guards, and said with anger in her eyes: "Who dares!"
Several Jinyi guards were obviously stunned by Princess Liao's actions, and their steps were stopped.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Weizhuo couldn't help frowning and looked towards Li Huan.
Li Huan seemed very calm. He glanced at the Jinyi guards and said, "Did I tell you to stop?"
Several Jin Yiwei couldn't help but tremble when they heard this. Their eyes flashed with stern eyes as they strode forward and reached out to grab Liao Yong.
Princess Liao was stunned, especially when she saw one of the Jinyi guards pushing her away unceremoniously, Princess Liao became angry.
"I've betrayed you. I've really rebelled against you. I am the late Princess Qin of the Ming Dynasty. I am the great-uncle of the current King of Qin. How dare you be rude to me..."
In the midst of the angry scolding, Princess Liao once again said sharply to Zhou Benye, who was standing at the door with his head lowered: "Commander Zhou, you must be blind, why don't you help me rescue him quickly?"
Zhou Benye looked at Liao Yong, who was caught by the Jin Yiwei, and then at the ferocious-looking Princess Liao. He took a deep breath, cupped his hands at Princess Liao and said, "Old Princess, please forgive me for not being able to obey my order."
As he spoke, Zhou Benye bowed to Qin King Zhu Weizhuo on the side and said, "We are the guards of the Prince of Qin's palace, and we only obey the orders of the prince."
When Zhu Weizhuo heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and when he looked at Zhou Benye, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
When Princess Liao heard this, she screamed with an angry look on her face: "Zhou Benye, are you even going to rebel? I will never spare you."
Li Huan looked at Princess Liao's crazy look, frowned and said: "Your Highness, Prince Qin, Princess Liao is unwell and needs someone to take care of her."
When the King of Qin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and nodded at Li Huan and said: "What the imperial envoy said is true. I will order someone to take good care of my uncle and grandma."
As he spoke, King Qin said to Zhou Benye: "Commander Zhou, please ask my uncle and grandma to return to the house."
A flash of light flashed in Zhou Benye's eyes, and he immediately bowed to King Qin and said, "I will obey your orders."
Then Zhou Benye walked up to Princess Liao and said solemnly: "Princess, please go back to the house."
Princess Liao looked at Li Huan, then at Zhu Weizhuo, and then laughed loudly. While laughing, she stepped back and said: "Do you want to imprison me? I..."
Before Princess Liao could finish her words, Zhou Benye took a step forward, stretched out his hand and pointed at Princess Liao. Suddenly, Princess Liao's body went limp and she fainted.
While supporting Princess Liao, King Qin Zhu Weizhuo reacted and said to the two maids serving Princess Liao: "What are you doing here? Why don't you help your great-aunt back home?"
Two maids stepped forward to support Princess Liao and left.
The elders of the Liao family in the hall now looked at their biggest supporter and support being taken away by someone, and a look of despair suddenly appeared on their faces.
Chen Yao glanced at Li Huan and immediately waved his hand and said: "Take down all the Liao family members."
At this time, King Zhu Wei of Qin walked up to Li Huan and saluted Li Huan: "Thanks to the imperial envoy. If the imperial envoy had not helped me to capture the Liao family, I would have been controlled by the Liao family."
Then he glanced at the group of Jinyi guards who were busy arresting the Liao clan and confiscating the Liao clan. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "The Liao clan stole the property of the prince..."
Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, you are too polite. Princess Liao colluded with the Liao clan to bully His Highness the King of Qin. She also colluded with local officials to embezzle money and food from the imperial court. This is a heinous crime. I am not just doing this for the prince, but more importantly.
Search the Liao family and recover the money and food."
Zhu Weizhuo's face darkened when he heard this. He had been in the palace all these years and he could clearly see that the Liao family had almost hollowed out the palace of Qin.
He originally wanted to ask Li Huan to help him recover the property that the Liao family had stolen from the palace over the years, but looking at Li Huan's intentions, it was clear that he did not intend to return those things to him.
Opening his mouth, Zhu Weizhuo wanted to speak, but he heard Li Huan sigh: "Hey, the people in Shaanxi are suffering. Natural disasters are just natural disasters, but there are also man-made disasters. Officials are greedy for money and food, and even the royal palace is involved. Your Majesty
If I knew it, I don’t know how angry I would be..."
Zhu Weizhuo couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, with a look of panic on his face, and said to Li Huan: "Master Mingjian, everything was done by the Liao family and has nothing to do with this king. This king is controlled by a witch, and the palace of Prince Qin
The Liao family is greedy for money and food, and the Prince of Qin's Palace has not touched any of it. I also asked the Taifu to explain it to His Majesty on behalf of the king."
Seeing Zhu Weizhuo's frightened look, Li Huan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is no need to panic. As long as Your Majesty does not touch the money and food, I will explain the reason to Your Majesty for Your Majesty, and I will not let Your Majesty suffer unjust injustice."
The King of Qin turned to Li Huan with a grateful look on his face and said, "Thank you so much, Master. I am deeply grateful."
However, the King of Qin thought that the Liao family had almost emptied the Qin Prince's palace of wealth over the years, but he was pinched by Li Huan, and he felt miserable.
Thinking of this, King Qin couldn't help but think of Princess Liao who was taken away, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of hatred in his heart.
He has no blood relationship with Princess Liao, which is because Princess Liao is the late Princess Qin. He has been bullied by the Liao family since he was sensible. It would be strange to say that King Qin has no hatred for him.
Taking a deep breath, King Qin couldn't help but secretly made up his mind. When he went back, he would make the Liao family pay the price for causing trouble to the King of Qin's palace.
While he was talking, Chen Yao was heard running over with a happy face, holding an account book in his hand and saying: "Sir, I found it, I found it. The Liao family has colluded with Wu Wei and other officials over the years to embezzle money from the treasury.
Evidence of money, grain, and smuggling of salt and iron are all included.”
Wu Wei on the side couldn't help but soften when he heard this, and fell to the ground in despair.
When Princess Liao was taken away, Wu Wei had already realized that he was finished.
Originally, his biggest reliance was that Prince Qin's Mansion was standing behind the Liao family. Even if something happened, Prince Qin's Mansion would still be there to support him.
But I didn't expect that the current King of Qin would hide so deeply. I don't know when he hooked up with Li Huan and directly abandoned Princess Liao and the Liao family.
No matter how it seems, the King of Qin has been a victim for so many years. After all, a majestic prince was in the hands of a woman, and his power fell to the side. Fortunately, he used Li Huan to eradicate the Liao family. Otherwise, Zhu Weizhuo didn't know what he would gain.
Only then can we truly control the Qin Palace.
Now that the Prince of Qin's palace has directly picked it all off, all the blame will be placed on the Liao family, and the collusion between him and the Liao family will definitely be investigated clearly, and the vegetable market will not be able to escape a knife.
Glancing at Wu Wei lightly, Li Huan snorted coldly and said: "Detain him and interrogate him strictly."
Shaanxi's Yulin Road and Suidezhou, as important border towns adjacent to the grasslands, have been suffering from the abuses of Tatars from outside the customs for many years.
And because the land of Yulin was not rich in water and grass, it was a military town, and the people suffered even more.
If there were good years in peacetime, the people of Yulin Road would barely be able to make ends meet. However, this disaster in Shaanxi, especially in Yulin, is one of the hardest-hit areas in Shaanxi.
The people in Yulin were in dire straits, and a large number of people were already starving to death. Fortunately, the imperial relief was on the way. As the news spread, countless people in Yulin who were affected by the disaster finally saw a glimmer of hope for survival. Regarding the imperial relief,
The money and food are eagerly awaited.
If the money and food provided by the imperial court could arrive at Yulin Road as early as possible, then the people would have more hope of survival.
Suidezhou
The county magistrate Ding Dechao, wearing a patched official uniform, looked at a servant with a sad expression on his face and said: "Quickly tell me where the government's relief food is and how long it will take before it reaches Suidezhou, my country."
The officer said with an earthy look on his face: "Sir, I just received the news that the 30,000 stone relief grain has entered the territory of Yulin Road. It will reach Suide in two or three days at most. By then, the people will be saved."
Ding Dechao had a look of surprise on his face when he heard this. He couldn't help but sit down on the chair, suppressing the joy in his heart, but there were tears in his eyes.
"Okay, okay, that's great. We are saved. Our people in Suide are saved."
As he spoke, Ding Dechao couldn't help but bowed towards the capital and said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty's kindness is so great, and the people of Suide are grateful for your kindness..."
At the same time, in Suidezhou County
There is a renovated mansion that looks like a fortress in Suidezhou. It is known to everyone that it is the Tang family of Suide.
The Tang family is a famous family in Suide, especially the current commander of the Yulin Guards, Tang Dingbang, is a member of the Tang family. With the power of this commander in charge of the first guard, the Tang family is said to be the local overlord of Yulin Road.
It's not an exaggeration at all.
After all, Yulin Town, as one of the important towns on the Nine Borders, has always been responsible for resisting the invasion of enemies on the grassland. Relatively speaking, the status of military commanders is slightly higher than that of the inland areas of the Central Plains.
Just like Tang Dingbang, who is the commander of the guards, with more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command, he is definitely a presence on this Yulin Road that can shock three people with just one stamp of his feet.
The tentacles of the Tang family can be said to be spread throughout Yulin Road, and they are definitely one of the best families.
At this time, all the elders of the Tang family gathered together in the Tang family's mansion.
More than a dozen clan elders looked solemnly at the head of the family, Tang Dingguo, who was sitting there.
Then I heard a clan elder say: "Master, the news has been confirmed. The food allocated by the imperial court is almost more than 20,000 dan. We will arrive in Suidezhou in two days at most."
Hearing the clan elder speak, many people present's eyes lit up, and some even showed excitement and greed on their faces.
Only one person was heard saying with excitement: "More than 20,000 stones of grain, that's too much, it's really too much."
It’s no wonder that this person would react like this. The land of Yulin is really too poor. The Tang family has Tang Dingbang, the commander in charge of the army, who has sent a large amount of food to the Tatars on the grassland in recent years.
He exchanged a lot of salt and iron for a lot of furs, etc. Naturally, he accumulated a lot of wealth. He hoarded a lot of gold and silver, but he never had too much food.
What's more, the land of Yulin is already short of food. When food is transferred from the Central Plains, the price of food will at least double. So when I heard that the relief food allocated by the imperial court amounted to more than 20,000 dan, I was used to seeing big scenes.
The elders of the Tang family were also shocked.
If it is tens of thousands of taels of silver or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, these people are used to seeing gold and silver, so they may not react like this.
But this is real food, which is what Yulin Road is most in short supply at the moment.
Tang Ding, the clan elder, stroked his beard and said with a bit of excitement in his eyes: "The Huli tribe outside Guanwai suffered a major disaster, just like us in Yulin, it was miserable. Aliha, the leader of the Huli tribe, contacted our people several times.
I hope we can provide food and grass to their tribes and help them tide over the difficulties."
As he spoke, Tang Dingli chuckled and said, "Does anyone know what price Aliha offered?"
Everyone knows Tang Dingli quite well. Tang Dingli is responsible for the Tang family's transactions with the Tatars outside the customs. He is also a person who is used to seeing big scenes. If Tang Dingli can react like this, there is only one possibility, and that is the inside of the pot.
The leader Aliha offered an extremely attractive price.
Tang Dingguo, who lives at home, glanced at Tang Dingli and said with a smile: "Third brother, don't be too secretive. Let me tell everyone."
Tang Dingli smiled and said with a serious look: "One stone of grain is exchanged for a good horse, or a cow, or five sheep!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and looked at Tang Dingli with a look of shock. Some people said in great surprise: "How is this possible? Isn't Alihamo crazy? Usually it's not just one stone of food, even ten stones of food.
He may not be willing to trade a good horse with us."
As he spoke, a hint of vigilance flashed in the clan elder's eyes and he said, "Is there some fraud involved?"
Hearing what the clan elder said, the rest of the clan elders also looked wary.
The Tatars cannot be trusted. They have dealt with the Tatars countless times and they naturally know this.
Tang Dingli smiled and said: "Aliha's willingness to offer such an exchange price is naturally conditional."
After hearing what Tang Dingli said, everyone nodded slightly, that's right, after all, Aliha is also the leader of thousands of herdsmen, and he is obviously not an easy person. It would be strange if there were no requirements.
A clan elder nodded and said, "What conditions does Aliha have?"
Tang Dingli looked straight and said: "Aliha is willing to deliver us three thousand good horses, and we only need to deliver them three thousand stones of grain or salt and tea, but..."
Everyone tensed up after hearing this. Obviously Hulibu's request should be the most important, otherwise how could they pay such a high price.
Three thousand good horses, if transported to the Central Plains, any horse can be sold for dozens of taels, which is nearly one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Looking at Tang Dingli, Tang Dingli looked at everyone with a very solemn expression at this moment and said: "He hopes that we can persuade the elder brother to open a checkpoint at the edge of Yulin and let them in..."
"Hiss, does Aliha want to invade the pass and plunder?"
"He is so brave!"
For a moment, everyone was shocked.
This is really astonishing. Alihati's request was clearly intended to invade the Central Plains and plunder.
An elder frowned and looked at Tang Dingli and said, "This is not good, if the news leaks out, our Tang family..."
Tang Dingli sneered and said: "What's wrong? The number of Tatar invasions in so many years is still small. I dare not say that they invade every year, at least once or twice every three or two years, and even every time of great disaster.
They are bound to invade, and there will be a big disaster this year. It would be strange if the Tatars do not invade."
The clan elder hesitated and said: "But the Tatar invasion is different from us letting the Tatar invade in private."
Tang Dingli glanced at the clan elder and said: "Thirteenth brother, you are still so timid and afraid of getting into trouble. Let me ask you, even if we don't let the Tatars enter, do you think there are many checkpoints at the border and how many can be prevented?
Can it withstand the attack of thousands of elite members of the Aliha tribe?"
The clan elder couldn't help but sigh softly when he heard this.
As Tang Dingli said, if the Tatars really invaded, Bian Zhen would really have leaks everywhere and there would be no way to stop them.
Suddenly, clan elder Tang Dingwei's expression changed slightly and he said, "Aliha and the others are not targeting that batch of relief grains, are they?"
Everyone looked at Tang Dingli in unison.
Tang Dingli nodded and said: "Yes, if Aliha hadn't known that a batch of relief grains was coming, how could he be so talkative and give us three thousand good horses for almost nothing?"
Tang Dingli said with a sneer: "After all, the eldest brother is in charge of the first guard horse of Yulin Town. If we really fight against them, they will steal the relief food and have no chance of successfully escaping back outside the customs. So, those three thousand horses are theirs."
Pay for the journey.”
Tang Dingwei frowned and looked at Tang Dingli and said: "About the news about the imperial court's food relief coming in the next two days, I think it was you, third brother, who told Aliha."
Tang Dingli stroked his beard, with a somewhat proud look on his face. He nodded slightly and said, "That's right, it was because my brother intentionally leaked it to him."
Tang Dingwei looked at Tang Dingli and said, "Third brother, do you want to plan on that batch of relief grains?"
Tang Dingli laughed loudly, and then said with a straight face: "Yes, it's not just my Tang family who is thinking about that batch of relief grains. Don't you know that as the relief grains are about to arrive, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this batch.
Food?”
As he spoke, Tang Dingli's eyes flashed and he said: "The people responsible for escorting the food are the troops under the eldest brother. When the time comes, Aliha's troops will enter the pass from the gate that the eldest brother released. We will cooperate internally and externally, and the two sides will share the batch of relief equally."
Food, when the blame comes, the Aliha tribe will take the blame, and we will get tens of thousands of shi of food for nothing. Why not do such a mutually beneficial thing?"
Hearing what Tang Dingli said, the clan elder who was still a little confused suddenly came to his senses.
Many people looked at Tang Dingli with complicated expressions, obviously disapproving of Tang Dingli's actions, but many people couldn't help but clapped their hands and applauded: "Okay, it's really perfect, no one will be able to find it out by then."
Let’s go up top.”
Tang Dingli said with a proud look on his face: "I heard that the imperial court sent Li Huan as an imperial envoy to come to Shaanxi to supervise the disaster relief work. This Li Huan's reputation is true, but we are not afraid of it. Others dare to be blatantly greedy.
Qian Liang, we still have Tatars taking the blame here, let alone Li Huan, he can't find anything, even if we find something, we can still blame everything on the Tatars."
Then I heard Tang Dingli say to Tang Dingguo, the head of the family: "Master, this is foolproof. It will bring great benefit to our Tang family. Why wouldn't you do it?"
Tang Dingguo's face was filled with news. He looked at the crowd and said slowly: "Everyone, those are three thousand horses and tens of thousands of stones of food. Are you willing to turn a blind eye to these things?"
Suddenly everyone's breathing became rapid.
Yes, although it is a serious crime to collude with the Tatars in private, who made the visible benefits too tempting?
Tang Dingli saw everyone's expressions in his eyes and said immediately: "Don't forget, even if we don't use the relief food, others will still do it. I'm afraid very few can really be used on the victims."
An elder sighed softly, and soon all the elders of the Tang family came to a consensus. Tang Dingli, the clan elder, personally came forward to contact the Tatars and plan the upcoming food relief together.
Tartar pot inside
Hulibu is located outside Yansui Town, only about a hundred miles away from Yansui Town.
As one of the many Tatar tribes, the Huli tribe is not weak in strength. There are thousands of households and ten to twenty thousand tribesmen. On this prairie, it can be regarded as a medium-sized tribe.
.
Hulibu was able to occupy this land with abundant water and grass, and privately traded salt and iron with Yulindao. Compared with the hardships of many Tatar tribes, Hulibu's life was considered excellent.
Under normal circumstances, Hulibu would rarely choose to plunder the Kou Pass. After all, it can smuggle in a large amount of salt, iron and other living supplies. In addition, it occupies a land with abundant water and grass, so there is no shortage of supplies. Only a fool would run into the pass.
Fighting against the Ming Dynasty.
But this time, a major disaster struck, and even the Huli Department was a little overwhelmed.
Not long ago, during a transaction, Aliha accidentally learned from Tang Dingli that a batch of relief grain allocated by the Ming Dynasty, amounting to tens of thousands of stones, was about to arrive at Yulin Road.
When Aliha heard the news, he was deeply shocked. Tens of thousands of stones of grain were enough for him to survive the cold winter.
So from that time on, Aliha was thinking about how to successfully bring that batch of grain back to the prairie so that they could survive the winter.
Fortunately, Aliha has always been on good terms with Tang Dingli. Tang Dingli was already planning that batch of grain. One was intentional and the other was intentional. After a few trials, the two colluded with each other and planned a plan to rob the grain.
The plan comes out.
On this day, Aliha was drinking tea among the tribe. Suddenly, he saw a young man in robe running over and said with a bit of excitement: "Abba, Abba, from the Tang family."
The caravan is here. It has brought a lot of salt and iron."
Aliha's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and there was a look of surprise on his face. He couldn't help but said to the young man: "Sonit, go and bring Tang Dingli to see me."
Solnit ran out, and soon saw Tang Dingli walking into the big tent wearing a leather hat, his face flushed by the cold wind, bowing to Aliha and saying: "Brother Aliha, we meet again.
.”
Aliha stood up, hugged Tang Dingli, hammered Tang Dingli's chest with his big hand, and with some excitement asked Tang Dingli to sit down and said: "Brother Tang, sit down and talk."
After Tang Dingli sat down, he picked up the tea and took a sip. Aliha, who was sitting opposite Tang Dingli, looked at Tang Dingli expectantly. After Tang Dingli drank the tea, he couldn't wait to speak: "Brother Tang, how are you?
Are you willing to join forces with me to steal that batch of food?"
When he mentioned that batch of grain, Aliha's eyes flashed with a strange look.
As he spoke, Aliha stared at Tang Dingli and said: "If the Tang family is willing to help me, my Hulibu will definitely be grateful for this kindness. If not, I can only lead my clan members and rush into the pass to rob it by myself."
How could Tang Dingli not hear the threat in Aliha's words? Considering the current situation of the Huli tribe, plundering the Kou Pass was almost their only option to spend this winter.
One of them breaks into the pass and robs a large amount of money, food and supplies, and the other can take the opportunity to abandon a group of elderly and frail tribesmen, so that Hulibu can survive this winter.
With these things flashing through his mind, Tang Dingli smiled slightly, nodded towards Aliha and said: "Aliha, the matter has been done. My eldest brother has agreed to withdraw some soldiers from Sanlangkou. Then you can
Lead the clan members to fight from Sanlangkou into the pass."
Aliha's eyes lit up and he laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, if you can successfully enter the customs, Hulibu will be a good friend of the Tang family."
Tang Dingli smiled slightly and said: "The Tang family will also be good friends of Hulibu."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Tang Dingli looked serious and said: "This time I am here to contact you. When the time comes, I will personally lead the way for you, Aliha brothers, to enter the pass smoothly, and then go straight to the grain transport team."
Aliha nodded excitedly and said: "That's great. It saves us from aimlessly searching for the whereabouts of the grain transport team. If the traces are exposed and the grain transport team is alerted, the other party will hide in the city.
"In a short while, I really can't conquer a city in Hulibu."
Tang Dingli said lightly: "Don't worry, the troops transporting the grain are the subordinates of my eldest brother. Although the eldest brother said that he could not order those soldiers and horses to hand over the grain to us, he can provide the whereabouts of the grain transport team at any time.
we."
As he spoke, Tang Dingli looked at Aliha and said, "Whether you can kill that grain transport team depends on whether your people are brave enough, Aliha."
Ali laughed loudly and said: "The warriors in my Huli department are all men who are as good as ten, and they will never let you down, Brother Tang."
Tang Dingli nodded slightly, a stern look flashed in his eyes and said: "No one in the food transport team will be allowed to escape when the time comes. They must be killed cleanly."
Aliha was slightly startled, glanced at Tang Dingli in surprise, and then nodded: "Don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I won't let anyone leave alive."
The autumn day on Yulin Road has already become a bit colder than winter, and shacks can be seen everywhere in the wilderness outside Suidezhou City.
The shacks were all filled with victims fleeing from all directions.
As the capital of Suidezhou, Suide City can be regarded as one of the largest cities on Yulin Road. However, in the bitter cold land of the border town, the population is sparse. The entire Suidezhou city only has a few hundred thousand people in total.
The county magistrate of Suidezhou, Ding Dechao, was currently wearing a patched official uniform and was patrolling among the numerous refugee shacks outside the city, escorted by several officers.
At the gate of the city, more than a dozen large pots were set up, with clear soup-like porridge water boiling in the pots. Except for the extremely rare rice grains, most of them were actually soup water, and there was not much grain at all.
But even so, in the eyes of many disaster victims, it is already a supreme delicacy and a life-saving thing.
As the county magistrate, Ding Dechao visited the homes of wealthy merchants in the city one by one in order to raise food for the victims. He spent all his time and sacrificed his face as a court official. Even if it was a stone for a bucket, Ding Dechao would not be too little. Finally, it was
I asked for this food.
It is precisely because of this food that the victims outside Suidezhou can barely hang on to their lives without freezing to death in large numbers and starving to death.
Most of these people are sallow, skinny, and sitting weakly in shacks.
"The county magistrate is here!"
Someone shouted, and immediately many victims came out and kowtowed to Ding De.
The common people are not fools. They can clearly see how Ding Dechao has been running for them these days. Everyone knows that they have not starved to death or frozen to death, all because of this father-in-law official running for them.
Ding Dechao looked at the people all around who were bowing to him and said quickly: "Everyone, get up quickly. There is no need to be polite. This is what I should do."
A gray-haired village elder, supported by his nephew, said to Ding De: "Sir, you are Master Qingtian. Without you, we would have died long ago."
"Yes, you are Lord Qingtian, our savior."
Ding Dechao said loudly: "Fellows, don't worry. With me here, we won't let you starve to death. The imperial court has allocated relief money and food. In one or two days, tens of thousands of stones in relief money and food will arrive in our Suidezhou city.
Then everyone will have food to eat and no longer have to worry about starving to death."
After hearing Ding Dechao's words, all the people around him were stunned for a moment, and then countless people couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.
"Woo hoo, we are saved, we are finally saved."
The village elder looked at Ding Dechao and said tremblingly: "Sir, has the imperial court really allocated money and food to help the victims?"
Ding Dechao said solemnly: "The Emperor has learned about the great disaster in Shaanxi and has personally ordered the transportation of grain to Shaanxi to relieve the victims. Your Majesty has our people in Shaanxi in mind, and the emperor's grace is so great..."
"Long live your Majesty, long live, long live..."
Countless people couldn't help but shout long live.
Ding Dechao looked at the joy on the faces of the people around him. Many people's originally lifeless faces showed infinite vitality and hope after learning that the relief food was coming.
Looking into the distance, Ding Dechao couldn't help but said silently with a bit of hope: "I hope the relief food will arrive soon, and the people of Suidezhou will finally be saved."
In a warehouse of the Tang family, a man in a green shirt couldn't help but cough violently. Seeing this, a person next to him couldn't help but said: "Mr. Yue, has your injury not healed yet?"
This man in green shirt has an elegant appearance and extraordinary bearing. He is not an ordinary person at first glance. Anyone who knows him will be shocked if he sees him.
This is none other than Yue Buqun, the Shaanxi Jinyiwei Qianhu official who has been missing for some time.
Yue Buqun shook his head slightly at the servant, with a slight smile on his face and said: "I am old, and my body and bones are not as strong as those of young people. How can I recover so quickly after being injured by a thief? It seems that Yue can be lucky.
I escaped the pursuit of the thieves, thanks to Brother Han's rescue."
Hearing this, Han Le stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Mr. Yue is too polite. It's just a coincidence that we met Mr. Han. We are all scholars. Mr. Han can't watch Mr. Yue being harmed by thieves."
Yue Buqun sighed softly and said, "Brother Han, it is Yue who caused harm to you and you were scolded by the steward."
Han Le said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. That Manager Tang is just talking. I have some friendship with Master Tang Jiu of the Tang family, so there's nothing he can do about it."
While they were talking, a servant strode over to Han Le and Yue Buqun and said: "Han Le, Yue Qun, you clean up immediately, and you will go out with Master Jiu to do something later."
Han Le and Yue Buqun were slightly startled, but Han Le quickly reacted and quickly said, "Tell Master Jiu that we will pack it up soon."
Not long after, Han Le and Yue Buqun, who was coughing from time to time, met the ninth master of the Tang family, Tang Dingwei.
At this time, more than a dozen accountants such as Han Le and Yue Buqun had gathered in the courtyard. In addition to these people, there were also hundreds of servants raised by the Tang family.
These servants exuded a ferocious aura, and Yue Buqun could tell at a glance that these servants were much more elite than many army sergeants.
But it's normal to think about it. The uncle of the Tang family is Tang Dingbang, who is the commander of the guards. It can be imagined that almost all the servants of the Tang family are retired soldiers from the army.
When Yue Buqun saw these hundreds of elite servants from the Tang family, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and curious. What on earth was the Tang family trying to do when they suddenly gathered so many servants and so many accountants?
Yue Buqun was very curious and looked around. The more he looked, the more horrified he became.
Yue Buqun discovered that these servants of the Tang family did indeed appear to be wearing servant clothes on the outside, but they were all wearing cotton armor on the inside. This was definitely military cotton armor, which can be said to be a type of armor.
Hundreds of servants were wearing armor. If this was known and spread, it would be a serious crime of treason.
At the same time, Yue Buqun also became more and more curious as to what the Tang family was going to do when they started such a big battle. It was not because they wanted to rebel.
With these thoughts in his mind, Yue Buqun subconsciously looked at Han Le, and saw that Han Le also had a look of surprise on his face. It was obvious that he didn't know what the Tang family was going to do in this battle.
