Renzi Scroll, Section 206, Midwinter Solstice, All Things Are Complicated
After a heavy snowfall, the entire capital city was shrouded in white.
Is this the first snow since the beginning of winter? Feng Ziying can’t remember clearly, but this winter is difficult, especially for the refugees who have begun to move east and north in large numbers.
The first group of refugees from Yuzhou, Guangchang, and Lingqiu have already been entangled with the refugees from Baoding, and they are swarming along the Zhuozhou, Liangxiang, and Fangshan lines toward the capital city. According to preliminary predictions,
Judgment, the number of refugees formed by this first wave of disaster victims is about 6,000, not too many, but not too few either.
The key lies in the follow-up.
From the Shanxi side, it is estimated that most of the refugees from Yuzhou, Hunyuan, Guangchang, Lingqiu, and Guangling prefectures in Datong Prefecture will go eastward to Baoding Prefecture in Beizhi Prefecture. Similarly, the refugees from Taiyuan Prefecture will
Victims from Zhi, Daizhou, and Wutai prefectures and counties may also enter Baoding Prefecture. Although Shanxi has tried its best to block and intercept them, there will still be 30,000 to 40,000 victims entering Baoding.
As for Baoding, the situation in Zhending itself is not very good. In addition, as soon as the refugees from Shanxi are gathered, they immediately become agitated. It is expected that there may be 50,000 to 60,000 refugees joining this group of Shanxi refugees and heading towards the capital to eat together.
.
This kind of story actually happens every few years when there is a major disaster. Theoretically, the imperial court and Shuntian Prefecture already have considerable experience.
But things are different this year.
The interruption of water transportation and the earlier major deficit case of Jingtong Second Warehouse have caused grain prices throughout Gyeonggi Province to continue to rise.
Especially after the interruption of water transportation, food prices have doubled from the original basis, causing panic throughout the Gyeonggi region.
Later, the Ministry of Household Affairs came forward to announce to the outside world through newspapers such as Di Bao and "Today's News" that Jingtong's second warehouse of grain had completed the replenishment before the water transportation was interrupted. The grain was safe this winter, which allowed grain prices to calm down slightly. However, compared with last year
Food prices have still doubled during this time of winter, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to the people in the entire Gyeonggi region.
What worries the Ministry of Finance the most now is that with the arrival of the mid-winter season, the victims of severe drought in the north will turn into refugees, and they will tend to flock to the capital. Once hundreds of thousands of refugees flock to the capital, what will happen to the capital?
You can imagine how much pressure there will be.
What worries the court even more is how many White Lotus cultists are included among these hundreds of thousands of refugees, and what kind of conspiracy they may have inside. The Ministry of Punishment has also reported this situation to the cabinet, which has made all the ministers in the cabinet tremble with fear.
The Shuntian Prefecture had long reminded the cabinet of the current proliferation of the White Lotus Sect in the North. However, although the cabinet ministers knew about it, they did not pay enough attention until the Ministry of Punishment raised it this time, especially to compare the refugees who were about to swarm with the White Lotus Sect.
Hooking up, this made the cabinet a little busy.
Of course, Feng Ziying also knew the purpose of the Ministry of Punishment in doing this. It was simply that Liu Yishen wanted to take this opportunity to show off the work ability of the Ministry of Punishment, and by the way, he wanted the Ministry of Punishment to strive for some benefits in the investigation of this major Bailian case. Naturally, Feng Ziying would not
To expose and oppose, this is beneficial to both parties.
What's more, the suspicion of the Ministry of Punishment is not unfounded. There is also intelligence showing that there are White Lotus cultists among the refugees in Shanxi, Shandong and Beizhi. Even the Ministry of Punishment and Shuntian Prefecture themselves are arranging personnel to infiltrate them.
When she turned over to get up, Feng Ziying still didn't want to get up.
When she reached for it with her hand, she found nothing. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Feng Ziying thought for a while and then looked at her surroundings. It was not Shen Yixiu's bedroom, nor Eryou's. Well, it was inconvenient for Shen Yixiu to be in good health yesterday. It was a bit late, so I simply slept in Qingwen's room.
She looked out the window, it was dark, and she didn't know what time it was, but her biological clock told Feng Ziying that it was at least the right time.
It was too busy last night. Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng went to Dacheng and Dong'an counties for a few days. They were returning to Beijing to discuss some matters, so they had a drink together. By the way, they also asked Wu Di, who was about to take office in Xianghe, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to assist in the investigation. Fang Youdu, who was against the case, was called in.
It wasn't until midnight that they dispersed. When Feng Ziying returned to Shen Yixiu, it was already very late. They all took their children to bed. It was not convenient for Shen Yixiu to be healthy, so Feng Ziying naturally slept in Qingwen's house where there was no night watch. .
The door creaked, and the curtain was lifted, bringing with it a gust of cold wind. Qingwen, wearing only a jacket, got in. She thought Feng Ziying was not awake, so she trembled and climbed onto the bed carefully, probably because she was afraid that her body would get cold. Feng Ziying closed her eyes and waited until Qingwen came closer, then she hooked Qingwen's waist and pulled her into her arms.
Qingwen was startled, but she immediately reacted and curled up in Feng Ziying's arms, "I'm awake? I drank too much last night. Why don't you sleep a little longer this morning and get up later?"
"What time is it now?" Feng Ziying was rarely lazy for a while. She drank a lot last night and went back to the house to sleep. Now the delicate body in her arms is slowly being warmed up, and her fingers are running along her neck. Go down, peel off the embroidered jacket under the quilt, and slide your fingers along the little jacket...
Valley desire
Qingwen twisted her body and said a little uneasily: "Master, it's almost a quarter, and grandma will get up soon..."
"Haha, when did your grandma get up in the middle of the night? My eldest sister followed her last night, so at least she didn't get up until Chen Zhengzheng was up? Why, don't you want to chat with me?" Feng Ziying laughed, and asked about Shen Yixiu's daily habits. Know it like the back of your hand.
If his daughter sleeps with Shen Yixiu, then Shen Yixiu will definitely have to sleep until Chen Zhengzheng before getting up. His mother also specifically told Shen Yixiu that her daughter is still young, so she shouldn't be so particular about greetings in the morning. She doesn't have to do it every day. They all had to go, so Shen Yixiu would get up earlier before going to his mother's house to say hello when his daughter was sleeping with the wet nurse. If his daughter was sleeping with the wet nurse, she wouldn't be able to go there.
Qingwen blushed, trying to avoid the clutches of the man beside her, and took off her underwear along her lower abdomen. She was not talking, she was clearly just having fun.
"Master,..." Qingwen gasped. Why wasn't she looking forward to this moment?
Ever since he got divorced, the man has been very busy. He has not been seen in the past few days. Even when he comes back, there will be grandma and Eryou. At most, his hands and eyes are gentle, so where can it be her turn?
Finally, we had a chance last night, but the man drank too much and fell asleep without even taking off his clothes while hugging him, so he changed his clothes himself.
It's not like Qingwen has never seen this kind of morning play. Occasionally, when the mood strikes, grandma and grandma will do the same, but grandma is a little shy and doesn't really like it.
While she was hesitating, Qingwen felt that her bellyband had also been lifted off. Before she could pretend to struggle, Feng Ziying could no longer hold back and held Qingwen's legs...
There was a babble on the bed, mixed with the man's hearty laughter and the woman's soft words, and in the end it was natural to beg for mercy...
Seeing her husband come in and pick up her daughter who was already babbling and teasing her, Shen Yixiu's nose twitched and he smelled something. He glared at his husband and took his daughter: "My husband, you should go wash up first..."
Feng Ziying knew that the stuffing had leaked, but she didn't care. She leaned lazily on the edge of the kang and said, "Yun Shang, wash your face quickly. I'm in a hurry."
Shen Yixiu curled his lips angrily, "You are so careless in a hurry. If Qingwen doesn't take good care of her at night, she has to come in the morning..."
After all, Shen Yixiu was born in a noble family, so she couldn't continue to say such things, but she also knew that her husband must have acted like this because he was in a mood, and Qingwen would definitely not take the initiative.
"I came back a little late last night. I had a few too many drinks with Mengzhang, Ke Yao, Lu You and Uncle Fang." Feng Ziying explained, "Meng Zhang and Ke Yao came back to complain. As a superior, I have to listen. Upon hearing this, I can’t let them frighten the deer friends who haven’t had time to take office yet, and I have to cheer them up...”
"Then what is Uncle Fang doing here?" Shen Yixiu is quite familiar with Feng Ziying and several close classmates, and has even met each other. In this regard, the Zhou Dynasty is similar to the former Song Dynasty. It is not as conservative as the former Ming Dynasty and has a close relationship. He is a well-connected family member, and his wife is known to him personally.
Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng and Wu Yan were all specially brought to Shuntian Mansion by their husbands to help set things up. However, Fang Youdu was in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and was related by marriage to the Xue family, so Shen Yixiu asked more.
"Uncle Fang was sent by the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate this wave of counterinsurgency cases. It is estimated that he will be involved in subsequent cases." Feng Ziying did not hide it, "I also asked about the progress of the case."
"Oh, including the Jia family's case?" Shen Yixiu knew the relationship between Jia and Feng's family, and also knew that her husband was very concerned about what happened to the Jia family this time, which is normal.
"Well, he has to avoid it, but some things can still be found out." Yun Shang had already come in to help Feng Ziying freshen up. There was still some resentment in her eyes. It was obvious that Qingwen's "stealing food" was known to her, and her mouth pursed. You can even hang an oil bottle.
Shen Yixiu also saw the expression on the girl who was close to her, and it was a bit funny, but she would never take the initiative to ask about such things. The two maids actually had a good relationship, but the young monk had too much porridge, so she could only watch. It depends on the situation.
"Is the situation at Jia's house very bad?" Shen Yixiu held his daughter in his arms. The wet nurse also came in to breastfeed her daughter. She handed her daughter over to the wet nurse. After the wet nurse went out, she asked.
"It's not good. The affairs of Jia She and Sun Shaozu in Ping'an Prefecture are difficult to explain. There are quite a lot of profits discovered now. Not to mention the Fu Ni incident, but in this case, the Jia family must be saved. They all had to peel off their skin, and the money involved in the case amounted to one hundred thousand taels. Sun Shaozu's home was ransacked, but except for a house, he got almost nothing else. It was obvious that he had been prepared for it, and now all the crimes had to be committed. As for the Jia family, you also know the appetite of the household department now..." Feng Ziying sighed.
