Chapter 180 The desperate place, taking the head of Erxiang, can be solved in Jiangzhong
Chapter 180 In a desperate situation, taking your head can solve the problem in Jiangzhong County. [Asking for monthly votes]
Gu Jinnian really didn't expect it.
Despite repeated orders from the imperial court, there are still people who dare to do such a thing.
This really doesn't take him as the destined prince seriously.
No, this doesn’t mean that you don’t take yourself seriously, it means that you don’t take the court seriously.
"There are still officials like this? Are they really not afraid of death?"
"Our Great Xia Dynasty has encountered such a natural disaster, and there are still officials who want to make profits from it? Do you really think you have a long life?"
Li Ji's roar sounded.
His face was full of coldness.
Gu Ningya also shouted.
Both of their voices were filled with anger.
"Uncle, I will handle this matter properly, please don't worry."
"The imperial court sent me here this time to rectify Jiangzhong County. Don't worry, with me here, no official will dare to mess around."
Gu Jinnian spoke out, he was trying to appease the other party, and he was also trying to appease the people.
"The saint above will definitely stand up for us ordinary people."
Hearing this, the old man was instantly overjoyed and even kowtowed to Gu Jinnian several times.
So are the rest of the people.
"Uncle, if possible, can you turn around and go back as a personal witness? This will also save these officials from making all kinds of excuses?"
"Everyone, please go back home now. I will give you a satisfactory explanation, and"
Gu Jinnian spoke out again, hoping that the other party would turn around and act as a personal witness.
However, these people were somewhat silent. Most of the people still wanted to not fight with the officials. Of course, some people were willing to go back.
"Saint, it's not that we don't believe in you. After all, we are just ordinary people. We still have some relatives and friends in Furukawa County, and at least we have some way of survival. If you go back, you will have so many things to do, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to take care of us common people."
"We don't want to delay the disaster relief work, and we won't go back. But these villagers were forced to leave, and they are willing to go back."
"Folks, this is the current saint of our Daxia Dynasty. The Jiangning County and Bailu Mansion cases were all vindicated by this gentleman."
"If you are really desperate, follow the saint back and you will be fine."
The old man didn't want to go back, and was still worried that he wouldn't live long if he returned, so he insisted on leaving. However, he helped Gu Jinnian by the way, making everyone believe in Gu Jinnian and go back with him.
I have to say that what this old man said is still valid. At least everyone is a refugee, and he has relatives in other places who can seek refuge. Most people actually have no relatives to seek refuge with. If they do have relatives, they are poor and miserable, so they run to seek refuge with others.
will be disliked.
At the end of the day, if you are not really desperate, who would be willing to leave your hometown?
Now Gu Jinnian's arrival has given them hope.
"Okay, walk slowly all the way."
Gu Jinnian doesn't force it, the people are weak after all, there is no need to be like this.
If you are willing to follow, just follow; if you are not willing to follow, don't follow.
"When someone comes, tell the soldiers behind you to leave five thousand people to escort the people out of the county."
Gu Jinnian spoke up again, asking the troops behind to leave 5,000 people to escort these people away.
"Follow orders."
The attendant spoke.
Soon, Gu Jinnian and the others returned to the jade chariot and headed towards Jiangzhong County.
Return to the jade chariot.
All three of them looked unhappy.
They knew that there was a severe drought in Jiangzhong County and that the people would suffer, but what they didn't expect was that at this juncture, there would still be people who dared to act recklessly. This was the reason for their anger and hatred.
"This is really unreasonable."
Gu Ningya's face was ugly, and he couldn't calm down about this matter.
The same goes for Li Ji.
"Uncle Jinnian, when we arrive at Jiangzhong County later, these corrupt officials will be killed one by one on sight. Show no mercy."
When the two of them spoke out, Gu Jinnian felt a little upset inside.
He said so much in the court. What was the purpose of the Daxia Dynasty issuing five imperial edicts in succession? One of them was to calm the people, and the more important thing was to inform Daxia officials.
It will be beneficial for everyone to be honest and cooperate together to tide over this difficulty.
But I didn’t expect that you would actually dare to do this?
sharp.
sharp.
It's really awesome.
"Jinnian, what do you think?"
Gu Ningya opened his mouth and looked at Gu Jinnian to ask.
"I'll wait and see."
"The imperial court promulgated five imperial edicts, but there are still people who dare to practice corruption. This is not a trivial matter, and it is not because of corruption."
Gu Jinnian spoke, he thought for a while and gave this answer.
"You mean, someone did it intentionally?"
Gu Ningya instantly understood that there was something in Gu Jinnian's words.
"Normally speaking, after the imperial decree is issued, I have the power of life and death, and everyone in the world knows that I will come to Jiangzhong County. Even if these officials want to be greedy, they will weigh it."
"Where can there be such stupid corrupt officials who risk their lives for money?"
"Now is the time to fight the disaster, not after the construction. If it is the time of reconstruction, there may be people who are greedy for money. But at such a critical moment, there are still people who dare to do this. Either there is something wrong with their brains, or it means that the entire Jiangzhong County officials
I have received the instructions."
Gu Jinnian said, this was his guess.
The whole country is paying attention to such a big matter in Jiangzhong County. Normal people, even those who are not officials, know that at this juncture, they cannot act recklessly and must be more honest.
What I didn't expect is that something like this is still happening now.
This is very unusual.
It's definitely not as simple as being greedy for ink, but targeting.
To put it bluntly, it is to target yourself.
My purpose is very simple, to establish prestige, to make the people believe that the court has the ability and determination to provide disaster relief, and to give hope, so that everyone can work together as one.
But some people don't want the people to unite.
This is the contradiction and key point.
"Then just kill them all, Uncle Jinnian. You have the power anyway, so what are you afraid of?"
Li Ji spoke up, his thoughts were very direct.
"Can't kill."
But looking back, Ning Ya shook his head and rejected this method directly.
"Why?"
Li Ji was curious.
"First collect evidence, then kill. Although Jinnian has great power, he must be more cautious in doing things. This power cannot be used randomly. Now let's go over. If Jiangzhong County officials dare to do this, they must have found a scapegoat."
"Killing an ordinary official is painless and painless."
"The county governor, the princes of various prefectures, and the many officials, big and small, can't possibly kill them all in one go, right?"
"Now the focus is on disaster relief, not killing. This matter is different from Bailu Mansion. Officials in Bailu Mansion will be killed if they really want to. How many people in the court are waiting to be released?"
"But if there is a mass killing in Jiangzhong County, the result is likely to make the disaster more and more serious."
"Jiangzhong County has a very large population, nineteen prefectures, many places are mountain roads, and there are even more remote areas."
"If these officials are killed, it will be difficult to handle just a handover. How many counties are there in one government? How many pavilions? Who is the county magistrate? Who is the boss? Who is the pavilion chief? Do you know?"
Gu Ningya spoke up and revealed the problem in Jiangzhong County.
The situation in Jiangzhong County is different from that in Bailu Mansion.
Gu Jinnian's power is indeed very great, but there is also someone behind Jiangzhong County officials, and this person has a very high status, not even one person, but a group of people.
This group of people made Jiangzhong County officials form a group to target Gu Jinnian.
Gu Jinnian cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately.
"Now I'm curious, who can make so many officials in Jiangzhong County work together."
"You are the Marquis of Tianming, the eldest grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo, the eldest son of the Gu family, and a popular person in front of the emperor. Logically speaking, even if Li Shan is doing things behind his back, an official like this must weigh things carefully."
Gu Ningya frowned, he couldn't imagine who was supporting them behind the scenes.
"It doesn't have to be one person."
Gu Jinnian spoke out, and at the same time couldn't help but let out a long breath.
He knew that this disaster relief trip to Jiangzhong County would be troublesome, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome.
"Then what should we do next?"
"Looking at this, I can't help but kill a few people."
Gu Ningya asked.
"If you should kill, you should kill."
Gu Jinnian said calmly, he must kill a group of people, but how to kill and how to kill are all very particular.
In this way, the jade chariot was quiet.
About an hour later.
There were many people fleeing the famine along the road, but according to the reports from spies, the victims who had been encountered before had gone back one by one, and word of mouth spread that Gu Jinnian had done justice to the people.
Therefore, the people who were preparing to flee famine turned back one by one.
Gu Jinnian didn't have much reaction to this, after all, it was reasonable.
But for some reason, Gu Jinnian felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
It's half an hour again.
Suddenly, the jade chariot stopped again.
"Who's ahead?"
"Dare you stop me?"
As loud shouts rang out, Gu Jinnian and the others frowned again, not understanding what was going on.
"Fang Jingcheng, a common man, has something important to report to the Marquis of Heaven."
"This matter involves tens of thousands of people in Jiangzhong County."
A loud voice sounded.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinnian opened the curtain in the jade chariot and looked over.
I saw a man in plain clothes, about thirty years old, standing not far away. The man looked pretty good, and there was a kind of nobility between his eyebrows. I took another look at this man's luck.
For a moment, surprise flashed in Gu Jinnian's eyes.
At seven feet and three feet, he is no weaker than Yu Yi and He Zhai.
There must be something extraordinary about this person.
"Let him come over."
At that moment, Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and asked Fang Jingcheng to come over. He wanted to hear what could affect Jiangzhong County.
As Gu Jinnian opened his mouth, Fang Jingcheng immediately entered. However, the guards on the left and right were standing ready. If Fang Jingcheng had any problem, they would chop him down on the spot.
"Fang Jingcheng, a common man, pays homage to the Marquis."
The other party came over and bowed deeply to Gu Jinnian, but there was no hint of humility or flattery.
"Let's talk about it after we get in the car."
Gu Jinnian did not hesitate and asked the other party to get in the car first and then talk in detail slowly.
"good."
Fang Jingcheng immediately walked into the jade chariot. When the surrounding soldiers saw this scene, they didn't say anything. Since Gu Jinnian chose to let him in, they couldn't care less.
Then, the jade chariot started again.
And among the jade chariot.
Fang Jingcheng looked at the two people on the left and right and said.
"The common people have seen the grandson and the commander-in-chief."
He spoke out and could tell the identity of the two of them at a glance, which showed that he had good eyesight.
"How do you know our identities?"
Gu Ningya looked at Fang Jingcheng with some curiosity in his eyes.
"Reply to the commander, your boots are black python cowhide boots, which are the standard equipment of the senior executives of the Xuandeng Department. Furthermore, there is no one who can enter the room with the Marquis except the commander-in-chief."
The second person."
"As for His Majesty the Grand Sun, he is very noble. At such an age, and combined with the identity of the Marquis, it is not difficult to guess."
Fang Jingcheng spoke up and what he said was reasonable and reasonable. He is a smart man and has strong insight.
However, Gu Jinnian didn't care about Fang Jingcheng's insight and spoke directly.
"What do you have to report?"
Gu Jinnian asked aloud.
Upon hearing Gu Jinnian's question, Fang Jingcheng immediately looked serious and respectful.
"Master Hou."
"You have fallen into the trap. If you continue to move forward, let alone disaster relief, you may not be able to protect yourself."
Fang Jingcheng spoke, and his words shocked Li Ji and Gu Ningya instantly.
But Gu Jinnian seemed very calm. He was not intimidated, but looked at Fang Jingcheng.
"What's the trick?"
He asked calmly, but he was also using his qi-gazing technique to sense the other person's emotions, whether he had evil intentions or was here to give advice sincerely.
"The people's plan."
Fang Jingcheng spoke up.
After saying these four words, inexplicably, Gu Jinnian's uncomfortable feeling just now appeared again.
He had felt something was not right before.
But he never thought of the key point. Now that Fang Jingcheng said this, he probably figured out the problem.
"Sir, please discuss in detail."
Gu Jinnian spoke up and looked at the other party. He had some thoughts in his heart, but he wanted to hear Fang Jingcheng's thoughts and see if Fang Jingcheng was exactly what he thought.
"Master Hou."
"Have there been any refugees fleeing famine before who told the Marquis that there are officials in Jiangzhong County who are corrupt and perverting the law?"
Fang Jingcheng asked.
"yes."
Gu Jinnian answered directly.
"Then I dare to ask Lord Marquis, what do they say about this official?"
Fang Jingcheng continued to ask.
"On the pretext of expropriating grain and grass, they robbed people of their surplus grain and distributed it uniformly, but they used it to make profits."
It was Li Ji's voice. He was particularly impressed by this incident and hated these officials to death.
Upon hearing this, Fang Jingcheng immediately spoke up.
"This is where the problem lies."
"Master Hou, don't you think there is something wrong with this?"
"The imperial decree was promulgated, and various regions responded to the disaster. Although there are corrupt officials in Daxia, the corrupt officials are all smart, and the stupid corrupt officials have long since died."
"The crisis in Jiangzhong County has attracted the attention of the whole country. Even with the support of the governor of Jiangzhong County, no one dared to take bribes and bend the law. In extraordinary times, these corrupt officials stood on the front lines one by one, especially when they knew that the imperial court sent a marquis to personally supervise the war."
"Let me ask, who dares to mess around?"
Fang Jingcheng spoke up and expressed his doubts.
As soon as they said this, Li Ji and Gu Ningya thought about it a little bit. They were silent. The more they thought about it, the more reasonable they felt.
Before, they were completely blinded by the suffering of the people. In addition, during the famine years, some people were corrupt and got carried away.
Now that I have calmed down, I really feel that something is very fishy.
"You mean, someone framed it? This matter is completely false?"
Gu Ningya frowned and asked Fang Jingcheng.
"Reply to the commander, sir, it is not."
Fang Jingcheng shook his head.
"There is indeed an official in Jiangzhong County who did this. He is the magistrate of Liuping Mansion and Sishui County."
Fang Jingcheng gave the answer.
"A county magistrate?"
"How dare a county magistrate do such a thing?"
This time Li Ji couldn't sit still. You said that if the county magistrate did this, he would have nothing to say. After all, the official position was there, but now he actually said he was just a county magistrate?
Isn't this a joke?
"I see."
In an instant, Gu Jinnian spoke up, and he instantly understood the cause and effect of everything.
"Is it true that the magistrate of Sishui County wrote a disaster relief article to collect food for all the people in the county, centrally control it by the government, and then distribute it uniformly, so as to prevent the people from fleeing and affecting other counties.
.”
"Secondly, if the government distributes food, at least we can ensure that we don't starve to death."
"At the same time, buy time to wait for the disaster relief food from the court."
Gu Jinnian understood instantly and looked at Fang Jingcheng.
"Master Hou is smart."
Fang Jingcheng nodded, not appetizing.
"In other words, the magistrate of Sishui County is a good official?"
After receiving the answer, Li Ji couldn't help but asked.
"kindness."
"The grassroots people have seen the magistrate of Sishui County. He is honest and upright. He was elected in the year of A and B. He has a good reputation in Liuping Mansion."
Fang Jingcheng said this.
"Since he is a good official, does it mean that someone wants to frame him? Use Jinnian's help to get rid of this person?"
Gu Ningya is also a veteran in officialdom, and his insights are very direct.
"half."
However, Fang Jingcheng did not completely agree with this view.
"half?"
"What does this mean?"
This time Li Ji and Gu Ningya didn't understand at all.
"The magistrate of Sishui County is not their target. What can a mere magistrate do, even if he is talented?"
"Their target is me."
Gu Jinnian took a deep breath. He was talking about this. How could he not guess the cause and effect?
"It's you?"
"Uncle Jinnian, why did I become you again?"
The two of them were puzzled.
However, Fang Jingcheng nodded, full of emotion for Gu Jinnian.
"This is the plan set by these people."
"I'm already in."
"What Mr. Fang mentioned is taking advantage of the public sentiment."
"I still lack experience. If there are really corrupt officials in Jiangzhong County, how can I let these people see me?"
"People are fleeing because someone deliberately did it."
Gu Jinnian felt a little emotional, he knew that he had fallen into the trap.
And as Fang Jingcheng said, if you don't handle it properly, you will indeed be unable to provide disaster relief and may even cause trouble.
"I see."
At this time, Gu Ningya also fully understood what was going on.
Only Li Ji was still a little confused about the situation.
"Uncle, what do you mean by this? Can you tell me directly? I can't turn my head."
Li Ji is very self-aware and asks questions when he doesn’t understand.
"Don't you understand this?"
"The magistrates of Jiangzhong County, Liuping Prefecture, and Sishui County have written a disaster relief policy. This disaster relief policy cannot be said to be bad or good. For Jiangzhong County, this strategy is considered good, and it can at least stabilize the disaster situation.
.”
"But for Jinnian, this strategy is not good. Jinnian's idea is to stabilize people's hearts. If the grain is collected, it is said to be uniformly distributed. But for the people, their own food has been robbed. A little bit every day, most of them
People still have complaints.”
"And some people are secretly spreading rumors, scolding the government for being incompetent and officials being corrupt and bending the law. A few words like this will definitely arouse people's anger. However, the disaster in Jiangzhong County has not yet reached the level of starving to death."
"So the people won't make trouble, they will just choose to stay or leave."
"People who have food or relatives will consider fleeing, while people who have no food or relatives will stay in Jiangzhong County."
Gu Ningya analyzed this matter seriously.
There's nothing wrong with what he said.
"The people who stayed behind were resentful, but the government provided them with food, so they would not explode. Once the government ran out of food, even for a day, these people would completely riot."
"It will be useless for anyone to come by then, unless the food comes."
"To put it bluntly, this strategy is quite good, but it must rely on the imperial court to transport grain. If there is a problem in this link, there will be a big problem."
"The officials of Jiangzhong County must have had ulterior motives in adopting this person's strategy. It turns out that this policy was written by someone below. No matter how serious things happen, if the people below are responsible, the most they can do is be punished."
"There won't even be big penalties. The key point is that there are no big problems with this disaster relief policy."
"As for the people who were fleeing and were caught by us, Jinnian just said that he would definitely give an explanation to the people. Now there are a large number of people behind them. What is their purpose of following?"
"Don't you know yet?"
When Gu Ningya said this, his expression became increasingly ugly.
Having said this, Li Ji gradually understood.
"The purpose of their following is to hope that Uncle Jinnian will punish corrupt officials."
"But what's the problem with this? Since you know that the other party is not a corrupt official, just explain the situation."
Li Ji opened his mouth and answered subconsciously.
"well."
"Your father really spoiled you rotten."
After getting this answer, Gu Ningya sighed and then continued.
"Are you clear?"
"In the eyes of the people, the magistrate of Sishui County is a corrupt official. If Jinnian explains, there is no need for anyone to spread rumors. In the eyes of the people, Jinnian has become an accomplice."
"All the reputation of Jinnian will be destroyed in one day, because in the eyes of the people, the government has really robbed the grain. As for distribution, Grandson, I ask you, if I rob you of one thousand taels of silver, and then give you half a tael of silver every day,
Do you agree? Will you be happy?"
Gu Ningya asked.
"Won't."
Li Ji somewhat understood it, but he didn't understand it particularly. But if you put it into perspective, he would indeed not be very happy.
"Isn't that enough? The people have already developed resentment. If Jinnian does not punish him, Jinnian will be labeled as an official protecting him. By then, the people will spread the word to ten, and the word will spread to hundreds."
"It doesn't take two days for the people to completely hate Jinnian. At that time, no matter what Jinnian does in Jiangzhong County, the people will not believe it."
"Unless Jinnian returns all the food to the people, but if he does this, the people will probably flee Jiangzhong County immediately."
"The magistrate of Sishui County did this very well. He took away the food to prevent the people from escaping. If ten million people escaped, wherever they went would be like hell on earth. Every county would be in trouble.
We cannot accept so many people."
Gu Ningya completely understood what this plan was.
Too cruel.
It's too vicious.
Taking advantage of the people's panic and taking advantage of Gu Jinnian's heart for the people is too dirty a method.
"If so."
"Then we can kill the magistrate of Sishui County and then reward him after the disaster is over. Is that okay?"
Li Ji spoke out. He also felt a huge crisis, so he said something like this.
As soon as this statement came out.
Fang Jingcheng couldn't help but glance at Li Ji, but quickly sighed.
"If this matter is handled by the grandson, this can indeed be done."
"But the Marquis cannot do this."
Fang Jingcheng spoke up.
"Why?"
Li Ji frowned.
"The sage of later generations of Confucianism and Taoism, the Marquis is a scholar and a model of scholars. If the Marquis knows that the county magistrate is innocent, he will behead him in public."
"Then this is the real plan. If the magistrate of Sishui County is beheaded today, someone will avenge his injustice tomorrow, and this matter will spread throughout the entire Daxia Dynasty immediately."
"The common people know that the Marquis killed Lord Xu Jingxu in the court. This man was a scholar of the Zhu Xue lineage. Now the scholars of the Zhu Xue lineage have some prejudice against the Marquis."
"If this matter comes out, these scholars will definitely stand on the basis of justice and criticize the Marquis."
"Seriously, the Marquis cannot argue with you. He kills you just because you know what is right. It goes against Confucianism and Taoism."
Fang Jingcheng spoke.
He's not being alarmist.
Gu Jinnian is a sage from later generations of Confucianism and Taoism. This does not mean that Gu Jinnian cannot make mistakes. Who can make mistakes without being a sage?
But the problem is, you know it's wrong, but you still do it. This is the key point.
Based on this point, Gu Jinnian was criticized. Not only was Gu Jinnian speechless, but he also had inner demons because of this incident. He would never want to become a great Confucian in this life, let alone a half-sage or not.
What's even more important is that from now on, Gu Jinnian will never think of criticizing others on the basis of justice.
Because you yourself are not a good person, what qualifications do you have to criticize others?
If people will blame you for the rest of your life on this one thing, what can you do?
Moreover, Gu Jinnian has a very good image. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is half a saint. However, if he does something like this, the backlash will be huge and he will cause endless controversy.
When the time comes, whether he spreads rumors, or stares at Gu Jinnian, or to put it in harsh words, Gu Jinnian's waste of food will become the reason for everyone to criticize him.
This plan presents a dilemma.
Jin, punishing the magistrate of Sishui County, completely destroying the realm of Confucianism and Taoism, and killing an innocent and upright person, will Gu Jinnian meet?
If you retreat and don't kill the magistrate of Sishui County, you will be an official protecting each other. No matter what you say next, the people will not trust you anymore, you official.
Suddenly, the four people in the jade chariot became quiet.
After a long while, Li Ji's voice sounded.
"If I had known this, you shouldn't have come."
"This way, at least Uncle Jinnian won't know about it. When the time comes, he will be killed by mistake. It will only make him feel guilty."
Li Ji was a little angry, angry that Fang Jingcheng showed up.
"Don't talk nonsense."
The next moment, Gu Jinnian's voice sounded. He scolded his grandson, and then looked at Fang Jingcheng.
"Sir, please don't be angry. Your Highness is still young and not very sensible. He speaks like a child."
Fang Jingcheng had the courage to stop Yu Chaan and tell him about such a crisis. If it became Fang Jingcheng's problem instead, that would be too much.
"Master Marquis, Grandson, actually the common people have been hesitating whether to come or not."
"The common people believe that even if the common people don't come, some officials in Jiangzhong County will definitely make the Marquis aware of it."
"If this is the case, by that time, the Marquis will have no time to think about it."
Fang Jingcheng did not come here specifically to claim credit, but he believed that Jiangzhong County officials would definitely try their best to make Gu Jinnian aware of the problem. By then, the people would be waiting for the news.
Gu Jinnian didn't have time.
"What should we do now?"
At this time, Li Ji was a little depressed and asked everyone.
But none of the three could give any solution.
this moment.
Even Gu Jinnian couldn't help but feel the pressure. As expected, Jiang was still hot with age.
In the past, the reason why I overcame thorns and obstacles was because they didn't understand me at all, and they didn't know me well. They looked down upon me, and because they didn't understand, the methods they used against me were very ordinary.
During the flood in Jiangning County, no one regarded themselves as the enemy.
Jiangning County is in trouble, and the other party despises me.
Now, the enemy has understood his character and his methods, and has used his identity and character to set up such a sophisticated plot.
The pressure hit me instantly.
This made Gu Jinnian feel deeply tired.
Thinking about it carefully, Gu Jinnian found that although he had been born in two lives, he had a lot of information to gain. In his previous life, he was a screenwriter. In this life, he started out as a playboy. He really didn't know much about conspiracy and conspiracy.
It is nothing more than gaining a lot of fame through some poems and articles.
Then use the three views of modern people to handle things and serve the people.
At most, add some advanced ideas to change the world.
Apart from that, are there any advantages?
The answer is really no.
It's a pity that he was not an official in his previous life, otherwise, he should have noticed it long ago.
However, at this moment, Gu Ningya's voice sounded.
"parking."
Gu Ningya spoke and stopped the team.
"In two hours, we will arrive at Jiangzhong County and Zhonghan Mansion. Let's take a short rest here and see if there is any solution we can think of."
Gu Ningya said, he didn't want to move on.
If nothing unexpected happens, the outside of Zhonghan Mansion will be filled with officials and people, all waiting for Gu Jinnian's arrival.
Simply, it is better to think of a solution here, otherwise you will be restrained by others.
"Let's come down, Jinnian, you can think carefully here."
"Don't rush."
Gu Ningya spoke out. After saying this, he looked at the two of them and walked off the jade chariot.
The three of them left, and Gu Jinnian did get some peace.
But he seemed very silent.
Because this problem has almost no solution.
After Li Ji, Fang Jingcheng, and Gu Ningya came down from the jade chariot, the three of them stood aside and looked at the many refugees with different expressions.
Gu Ningya walked leisurely with the two of them. After walking for a while, Gu Ningya's voice couldn't help but sound.
"Mr. Fang."
"You are so talented, why don't you take the exam?"
Gu Ningya opened his mouth and asked Fang Jingcheng.
"The ordinary people are not talented. Although they have read a lot of poetry and books, they are not interested in Baxuan's essays, so they did not participate in the imperial examination."
Fang Jingcheng spoke up.
This person is indeed talented and very smart, and can think of many things through some clues.
"Oh? He is so talented, but he lives in a small county."
"It's better than this. Mr. Gu will create a bridge. From now on, you will follow Jinnian and become his staff. Later, with your talent, you can at least be appointed as a minister."
Gu Ningya looked at the sky and said casually.
As soon as these words came out, Fang Jingcheng suddenly fell silent.
He didn't answer and seemed quiet.
However, Gu Ningya on the side seemed to have guessed Fang Jingcheng's thoughts and spoke directly.
"Sir, if you dare to stop a car, firstly, you are brave, but secondly, you are actually feeling that your talent is not being appreciated."
"I can see that you are not a person who is willing to accept your fate. I can roughly guess your identity. You are related to certain people, so you cannot take the imperial examination."
Gu Ningya seemed calm, but he kept Fang Jingcheng in check.
Having said that.
Fang Jingcheng didn't panic at all, but said calmly.
"May I ask, sir, what do you want to say?"
Fang Jingcheng asked directly.
The other party specifically asked everyone to come down together, leaving only Gu Jinnian on the jade chariot. Apparently he had something to talk to him.
"I can help you solve your identity trouble. You are an ambitious person. If you follow Jinnian, you will not suffer any loss."
"In fact, you already have a solution for this matter, I also have a solution, and it's very likely that Jinnian also has a solution."
"It's just that Jinnian can't do this. I can't mention it directly, but you can just deal with it."
"You understand what I'm saying, right?"
Gu Ningya spoke calmly. At this moment, he seemed so mysterious that Li Ji was a little shocked.
In his impression, Gu Ningya was just a crazy person, but he didn't expect that this uncle actually had an unknown side.
More importantly, he couldn't understand a word Gu Ningya said.
"grown ups."
"The common people only ask one thing."
"I originally wanted to ask the Marquis just now, but after thinking about it I couldn't do it."
"I dare to ask you, sir, about the food disaster in Jiangzhong County."
"Is the Marquis confident of solving it?"
Fang Jingcheng's expression was firm. He looked into Gu Ningya's eyes and asked like this.
But Gu Ningya didn't answer directly.
Instead, he looked at Fang Jingcheng.
"Do you know who I fear the most in the entire Daxia Dynasty?"
Gu Ningya said calmly.
However, he didn't wait for Fang Jingcheng to ask and spoke directly.
"His Majesty."
As soon as he said this, Gu Ningya continued to speak.
"His Majesty can see through anyone's hidden thoughts at a glance."
"In the Great Xia Disaster, His Majesty appointed Jinnian as the commander-in-chief, which proves that Your Majesty completely believes in Jinnian, and Jinnian must be absolutely sure."
"Otherwise, His Majesty would never entrust such an important task to Jinnian under any circumstances."
"Perhaps in the eyes of the world, Your Majesty is too fond of Jinnian, but I know that this is not a matter of favor, but that Jinnian has absolute confidence."
"Now, do you still need me to answer your question?"
Gu Ningya spoke up.
Having said this, the latter couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"That's it."
"My lord, please give me a fast horse and fifty iron cavalry. After three hours, my lord will continue our journey."
"The common people can solve this problem."
Fang Jingcheng took a deep breath, his eyes were firm and full of confidence.
He can solve this matter.
To resolve this conspiracy against Gu Jinnian.
"Thank you."
Gu Ningya bowed his hand, and then asked someone to bring a high-quality war horse, and then gave him fifty cavalry to protect the road.
Soon, Fang Jingcheng was galloping towards Sishui County.
After Fang Jingcheng leaves.
Gu Ningya set his sights on Li Ji.
"Don't tell your Uncle Jinnian about what happened just now, okay?"
Gu Ningya spoke.
Once you say this.
Li Ji nodded. For some reason, he had a new look at Gu Ning Ya, as if he was a different person.
"Uncle, why do you look like a different person?"
Li Ji spoke up and couldn't help but ask.
"You don't really think that I, the commander-in-chief of the Hanging Light Department, got involved, do you?"
Gu Ningya spoke calmly, and his words became even more mysterious.
This time Li Ji was silent.
There are indeed some different emotions in the eyes.
But after a while, Gu Ningya's voice slowly sounded again.
"Great grandson."
"Was I handsome just now?"
Gu Ningya opened his mouth and asked seriously.
Li Ji: "."
in this way.
An hour and a half later.
Sishui County.
County government.
A middle-aged man was dealing with official documents. His face was haggard and even paler. The tea on the table was changed seven times, and each time it got a lot colder.
However, it is more like broken leaves soaked in water than tea. It tastes extremely bitter, especially after it has cooled down. After one sip, it can be so bitter that one frowns.
However, Wang Wei relied on this feeling of pain to cheer himself up and deal with the disaster.
Due to the disaster relief policy, he was entrusted with important responsibilities. He had to make decisions and give opinions on the disaster situation of the entire Liuping Mansion, including some major disasters in Jiangzhong County.
Such great power did not make him feel happy, but heavy.
He must read every matter and every official document carefully and clearly.
Don't dare to be a little bit contemptuous, and don't dare to be a little casual.
Because he knows that everything he does now and every opinion he gives can save many people.
"Ahem."
A mouthful of herbal tea went down his throat. Wang Wei was so focused that it choked his throat and made him cough repeatedly.
Put down the tea cup.
Wang Wei sighed deeply.
The disaster in Jiangzhong County was so serious that there was no time to deal with the mountains of official documents.
And all the files reveal the word despair.
Putting down the disaster file in his hand, Wang Wei stood up and took a short rest.
If you don't get up, you might really fall asleep.
This disaster is unprecedented, and Jiangzhong County is the top priority.
But after several days of busy work, Wang Wei began to feel more and more insignificant.
Under the horrific disaster, all of his strategies seemed pale and powerless. He could save people, but not many.
Even some of the coping methods have provoked insults from the people, leading to damage to the reputation.
Wang Wei doesn't care about reputation.
What he cares about is that the plan cannot be implemented and it will lead to big mistakes.
It was at this time.
A servant came quickly.
"grown ups."
"There is someone outside who calls himself Fang Jingcheng and says he is your friend. He wants to meet you and says he has a way to solve the problem in Jiangzhong County."
As the guard spoke.
Wang Wei was immediately surprised.
Then he immediately said: "Please come quickly."
Fang Jingcheng is indeed his good friend, and he also knows that Fang Jingcheng is extremely talented and intelligent. When he encountered many things, he consulted Fang Jingcheng for advice.
It's just that during this disaster, Fang Jingcheng didn't know where he went, and he didn't expect it to come suddenly.
And he also brought such good news, how could he not be happy?
soon.
Fang Jingcheng walked into the county government office.
"I've met Brother Wang."
Fang Jingcheng saluted and seemed polite.
"Brother Fang, you are so polite. You are really timely. Wang is still suffering from the disaster in Jiangzhong County. If Brother Fang has any good ideas, please tell me directly. Now I have gained the attention of the court. If the method works, I can implement it directly.
.”
Wang Wei spoke up and cheered up, appearing very urgent.
Because every minute or second of delay is detrimental to the disaster.
"Brother Wang."
"The difficulties in Jiangzhong County can be quelled."
"Thousands of people can also be spared from suffering."
"But just one thing."
"I wonder if Brother Wang is willing to take it out."
Fang Jingcheng spoke up, looked at Wang Wei and said this.
"put down?"
"What is it?"
"If it can really save tens of thousands of people from suffering, don't say the same thing. Even if everything is owned by Sishui County, Brother Fang can take it directly."
Wang Wei was a little surprised and looked extremely curious.
"Brother Wang's head is on his neck."
"It can solve the difficulties in Jiangzhong County."
Got Wang Wei's answer.
Fang Jingcheng did not hesitate.
He said with a very serious face.
