Raising wolves

Yu Shurong was a fellow clerk of Ji'an Prefecture, and he only took office last year.

When Jiang You's flood disaster first appeared, he suggested that the prefect Zhao Zhengde should report it, but he was pressed not to mention it.

When the flood situation became more serious, and there was even an epidemic, he simply passed over Zhao Zhengde and begged Governor Pan Jingmin to report to the court, but he still did not get permission.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to leapfrog to report. Together with a few colleagues, he wrote a book and sent it to the capital. How could he know that all this was noticed by Pan Jingmin, and the book was robbed halfway, and the group of them were imprisoned. jail.

In these days, almost no one remembered them except the officials who would bring them to eat.

After staying in the dark prison for a long time, the spirit is extremely depressed, Yu Shurong can only talk to the mouse to relieve the boredom.

Yu Shurong was very calm, anyway, as long as he hadn't heard the mouse reply, his mind should be fine.

Today's lunch has not been delivered.

Yu Shurong paced the prison with his hands on his back, glancing outside the iron bars from time to time.

Always feel like something is going to happen.

Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps outside, and a large number of police officers came in, unlocked the door of the prison, and had an uncharacteristically kind attitude: "Master Yu, please come out."

Yu Shurong's heart tensed, and he was instantly relieved.

Is Pan Jingmin ready to kill someone? So many people, he plans to kill them all?

After fainting in front of his eyes, he asked dryly, "Can I write a suicide note to my mother first?"

The leader of the errand was stunned for a while, but after realizing what he meant, he quickly waved his hand: "You misunderstood, Pan Jingmin and all the people related to him have been detained and imprisoned, and they need to be held accountable. There is no one in the official office. Your Majesty will let you Temporary prefect."

"What?" Yu Shurong suspected that he had not woken up, and was a little confused, "You said... Who is here?"

"By the way, you don't know yet," the clerk rubbed his hands together, "His Majesty has come from the capital in person!"

Your Majesty... came in person?

Yu Shurong was stunned for a long time, walked out of the prison, and looked in the direction of the dimly lit door.

He seemed to see that the black fog shrouded on the top of the right river, just like the distance in this prison, dissipated the darkness and brightened up.

Jiang You has accumulated too many problems.

What urgently needs to be solved are the three major problems of river bank burst, epidemic spread, and displacement of displaced people. It is necessary to control floods as soon as possible, resettle displaced people, and treat the injured.

So after Pan Jingmin and others were imprisoned, Lu Qingze and Ning Juan were not able to relax.

Jin Yiwei, who had been arranged in Jiangyou in advance, handed over the list of officials who had ties with Pan Jingmin. Pan Jingmin and others entered too quickly, and before the news spread, another group entered.

A bunch of officials who were previously imprisoned for reporting secretly were all released and returned to their original positions, or filled the vacancies, and each performed their own duties, waiting to be rewarded in the future.

Ning Juan fully took over the power of Jiang You, and ordered all the prefectures to report the situation of grain storage, immediately build resettlement centers and sick centers, open warehouses to release food, and relieve the victims.

At the same time, Lu Qing also walked into the Jiage library where the archives were stored in Ji'an Mansion, opened the flood records of Jiangyou over the years, sorted out the previous management plan, combined with the experience along the way, and considered the flood control method suitable for the current situation. Law.

Ji'an Prefecture was prosperous, and it was also the first to be hit by floods, so looking at the disaster-stricken prefectures, there are many victims of Lingshan Temple.

Ning Juan also ordered Zheng Yao to appoint people, and led the officers and soldiers to take the imperial doctor and the convened Langzhong to investigate and resettle the victims one by one.

If you are healthy, you can stay in Lingshan Temple temporarily, and you can voluntarily sign up and work with wages while waiting for the river embankment to be built.

Because the disease has an incubation period of several days, people who are suspected to be infected must observe it in the back mountain of Lingshan Temple for a few days, and only after confirming that it is correct can they return to Lingshan Temple.

Several imperial physicians also set off after receiving the order, but they were not as fast as those who practiced martial arts. After a long time, Zheng Yao arrived from Jiangsu and Zhejiang with a hundred forbidden troops.

Jin Yiwei rode a horse and flew between the prefectures, looking for a famous local Langzhong in Jiangyou to discuss with the imperial physician how to treat the patient and find a recipe for the epidemic.

Orders were issued in an orderly manner, and the chaotic Jiang You seemed to have regained a backbone, and everyone, big and small, revolved around Ning Lian.

But unexpectedly, the official office of Ji'an Mansion was empty, there was no food to store, and it was so clean that mice would not bother to patronize it.

Jiang You was not allowed to communicate with the outside world for many days, and the medicinal materials stored in the major pharmacies in the city were not enough for such a huge number of victims.

After listening to the report of the Imperial Guard, Ning Juan lifted his thin eyelids and said in a low voice, "You are looking in the wrong place."

Two hours later, Zheng Yao took a group of Jin Yiwei and rode a fast horse into the Hongdu Mansion, like a bandit, causing the people to stretch their necks to peek.

Zheng Yao got the order and had a clear goal. He came to the most luxurious mansion in Hongdu Mansion, glanced at the word "Pan Mansion" on the plaque, sneered, and gestured for the people around him to hand over a bow and arrow. Pull the string, "snatch" an arrow, and shoot through the plaque.

Unbiased, shot right in the middle of the word "Pan".

Immediately, he swaggered open the door of Pan Jingmin's house, and in the concierge's exclamations, the men filed in: "Jinyiwei is doing business, take them all!"

As expected by Ning Juan, Pan Jingmin was really rich.

The floods flooded the farmland and food. Not only did the affected people starve, but ordinary people in other prefectures also shrunk their clothes and did not dare to eat more than half a bowl of rice. However, several new warehouses were built in the Pan's mansion, which was full of food and clothing. Medicines and food.

Tomorrow morning, there will be porridge for disaster relief, but Ji'an Prefecture is in short supply of food and cannot support it for a few days. Seeing this, Zheng Yao groaned, and happily ordered everyone to move out and prepare to take them away.

After checking several warehouses, he sneaked to Pan Jingmin's private warehouse again, and still violently kicked it open, the warehouse door opened, and there were piles of boxes full of them.

Zheng Yao took two steps forward, pulled out the saber around his waist and slashed violently, the iron lock clicked to the ground, he opened the box at will, and his breathing suddenly stagnated.

Everyone around took a deep breath.

It turned out to be a box full of gold ingots!

Everyone was dazzled by the full box of Jin Cancan, swallowed subconsciously, and his eyes lit up: "Boss, the other boxes in this place will not be all..."

"My dear mother, I have never seen so much gold in my life."

"This ingot has been worth my salary for several years... With so much gold, what kind of official should I be? Wouldn't it be better to go home and enjoy the happiness!"

With the huge wealth in front of him, some people couldn't help but think about it. Dozens of pairs of eyes stared straight at the yellow gold, and their hearts were pounding.

Zheng Yao also stared at the box of gold, struggled for a few seconds, closed the box with a "bang", sat up with a golden knife, and said coldly: "Who said that you don't want to be an official? Stand up, I will leave when I go back. your job."

"Statistics, count the number, I have a rough idea in my heart, dare to lose a piece, chop up your dog's head and give it to Your Majesty!"

The gold ingot disappeared from sight, and everyone came back to their senses embarrassedly, thinking of the His Majesty who is sitting in Ji'an mansion at the moment, shivered, and silently put away the thoughts that were about to move: "Yes!"

The food and medicinal materials were all moved out, and they were going to be brought back to Ji'an for charity. The pile of boxes full of gold ingots was suppressed by Zheng Yao. The list was reported to Ning Juan.

Ning Juan glanced at random, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Integer?"

Zheng Yao guessed the meaning of Ning Juan's words, and said with a dry smile: "Go back to Your Majesty, the brothers are dedicated to doing things for His Majesty, and it is impossible to steal. Naturally, it is an integer."

Ning Fan squinted and stared at him for a while.

Zheng Yao lowered his head, but he could still feel the intense gaze, and the cold sweat was seen. After a while, he heard Ning Juan snort softly from his nose, with a smile that was not a smile: "Really."

There is no emotion in the voice, and the meaning is vague.

This response was like a half-fallen stone, Zheng Yao was scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks, and a person walked in outside the door, his voice was as cold as jade, but it was soaked in a touch of gentleness: "I have counted the food brought by the commander Zheng, I am afraid I still can't support it. to the court for disaster relief."

After a pause, I noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, and I wondered: "What's wrong?"

Here comes the savior!

Zheng Yao was overjoyed.

The terrifying gaze that shrouded him was removed at the next moment, and His Majesty's voice even brought a smile, turning his face as if he were turning a book: "Commander Zheng was in Pan Jingmin's house and confiscated 200,000 taels. Gold—get up, it’s all hard work, except for the gold, other valuables in Pan Jingmin’s house, let your subordinates take them casually.”

Zheng Yao's eyes widened: "Take whatever you want? Is your majesty telling the truth?"

Ning Juan glanced at him: "Is there a time when I can't speak?"

Mrs. Lu is indeed His Majesty's good medicine.

Zheng Yao was so happy that he almost laughed, grinning and quickly thanking him.

The little brat also knows to give sweet dates.

Lu Qing watched this scene from the side and was quite relieved, but he didn't express his opinion. After Zheng Yao was happy enough, he asked, "Envoy Zheng, have you found his correspondence with Wei Herong at Pan Jingmin's house? "

Mentioning this, Zheng Yao suppressed the uncontrollable smile at the corner of his mouth, and frowned: "I have searched and found nothing, I am afraid it has been hidden elsewhere. The worst case is that it has already been burned, but even if it is burned. Letters and ledgers will not be burned. Even the dog from the Pan House has been taken away, and Wei Chen will interrogate Pan Jingmin overnight."

The last two sentences were addressed to Ning Juan.

Ning Juan said "um": "Let's go down and do some work."

Zheng Yao strolled out in a happy mood, ready to go to Hongdu Mansion with his brothers again.

When Zheng Yao left, Ning Juan's face completely softened: "Why did the teacher come here?"

"I checked Jiangyou's flood records in previous years, and wrote down some ways to control the flood." Lu Qing handed the sheets of paper folded in his hand to Ning Juan, "Let's see how it goes."

With modern scientific methods of water control, Lu Qing has a good understanding of the cause and control of the flood in Jiangyou, so he came here specially.

If the flood is not cured, the displaced people are not eliminated. This is the root cause. If the flood that overflows the embankment is solved, the people will be able to go back to farming and living with peace of mind, rebuild their homes, and the society will be stable.

Ning Juan took it over and opened it, while Lu Qing summarized the causes of flooding in previous years and the treatment plan, and analyzed the current situation. The plan also drew a simple schematic diagram, which was clearly organized, showing a calm and calm like his own.

Ning Juan looked at it, and the corners of his mouth twitched into a smile: "The teacher writes well and draws well."

It was almost evening. After arriving at Ji'an Mansion in the morning, Lu Qing didn't even have time to drink a cup of hot tea. Seeing that there was hot tea on Ning Juan's table, he bluntly picked up his hands and sipped his mouth. He raised his eyes and said: "how?"

Ning Juan looked at it again and nodded, "I think it's feasible, so I'll call Ji'an's acting prefect."

Lu Qing didn't stay much, and went back to continue to prepare and count the supplies. When he left, he even took the teacup away.

He walked unhurriedly. After walking for a while, he met Yu Shurong, who was called to face the saint, and nodded politely at him.

Yu Shurong had just been released from prison, and it was a bunch of complicated affairs to meet head-on. Apart from knowing that your Majesty had come down, it was unclear who was following him. He didn't know who it was for a while. , bowed: "Wei Chen has seen His Majesty."

Ning Juan gave a flat "um" and handed over Lu Qingze's manuscript: "Look at it."

Yu Shurong hurriedly took it with both hands, looked carefully, tutted from time to time, and was surprised. After reading it, he raised his head with bright eyes: "Your Majesty, who wrote this water control plan? It's really good!"

He was so excited that he didn't notice that his tone was not very respectful.

"My teacher." Ning Juan didn't care, but because someone praised Lu Qingze, the corner of his mouth ticked silently.

Yu Shurong reacted suddenly.

It is said that before the death of the late emperor, the young champion Lu Qingze was assigned to the new emperor as a teacher. They all wear a silver mask and no longer show their true faces.

A frail young man wearing a silver mask.

Isn't that the person he met on the road just now when he came over!

God, he missed the opportunity to communicate with Lu Qingze!

Yu Shurong was quite embarrassed, and he read the manuscript again and affirmed: "Weichen thinks that we can completely control the water according to Lu Taifu's ideas."

"Well, I will arrange it today. If there are not enough people, come and ask me for it."

Ning Juan felt thirsty, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to get the tea cup, but he didn't touch it.

Yu Shurong repeatedly answered yes, turned and left with the manuscript.

Before stepping over the threshold, I heard His Majesty the Emperor's cool voice coming from behind: "This water control plan, you transcribe a copy yourself, and send the original back to me, you can't have one less."

ah? ah? ? ah? ? ?

Yu Shurong's heart was messy: "...The minister follows the order."

After sorting out Jiangyou's situation a little, it was already late at night.

All kinds of small troubles are still too numerous to mention. The hidden victims do not trust the government. Even if they hear that the emperor himself is here, they will suspect that it is fake.

The food and medicinal materials for the disaster relief were not enough. Although the court had made arrangements in advance, they could not arrive immediately.

Ning Juan decided to temporarily transfer from the prosperous Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces next door to relieve the urgent need, but how to get the Jiangsu and Zhejiang teams to hand over the relief materials is also a small problem.

There is no evidence of collusion between Pan Jingmin and Wei Herong. Pan Jingmin acts recklessly and recklessly, but he is very cautious in this regard. None of his wife, eighteen concubines and eight children can provide any effective clues. Having been beaten by Wei Herong, he knew that he had to hide it well.

And the most urgent thing at the moment, there is a water control plan, but there is still no cure for the epidemic...

Ning Juan flipped through the documents in the study for a while, thinking about each question while reading, until the lights flashed with a "smack", and then he remembered in a trance. Five watch is not far away.

During the period of rushing from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Jiangyou, the star and the moon had never rested well, and he hardly slept. Today, he has been dealing with affairs until this time, and Ning Juan is inevitably a little tired.

After sitting for a while, he suddenly wanted to see Lu Qingze, his heart moved, and he got up and walked out of the study.

The dark guard silently followed with the lantern.

It was the darkest time before dawn. There was no sound all around, and everything was shrouded in the cold and silent night. Only the hazy yellow light of the lanterns swept the way forward like melting snow.

A large number of officials were sent to prison, leaving a lot of space. They temporarily lived in the official office of Ji'an Mansion, while Lu Qing lived in a guest house, and should have rested long ago.

Ning Juan originally planned to take a look at Lu Qingze and go back, but when he walked into the yard, he found that the candle in the wing where Lu Qingze was still lit.

He was stunned for a moment, suspecting that Lu Qingze was too tired, he forgot to blow out the candle when he fell asleep, signaled that the guard did not need to follow up, walked over and knocked on the door lightly.

Lu Qing had just turned over a few volumes, washed a little, wiped his body, put on his coat and prepared to lie down, and was tired of getting up to blow out the candles. He was seriously considering whether to learn martial arts and throw something The candle went out.

Hearing the sound, he turned his head and knew who it was. He leaned lazily beside the bed, his whole body was so tired to his spirit that he didn't want to move: "Come in, the door is not bolted."

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, it was Ning Wan who walked in.

The juvenile emperor was covered in coldness. Although there was a hint of blue and black under his eyes, there was no trace of fatigue on his handsome face.

Lu Qing held on till now. He was exhausted and sleepy. He couldn't help but sighed enviously, "It's so good to be young", and yawned a little: "It's so late, don't go to rest, find me. Is something wrong?"

Ning Juan did still remember one thing, and looked down between his legs: "Teacher, let me see your legs."

Lu Qing was awakened by yawning.

The author has something to say:

Feng Shui turns.

Ningguoguo: Kangkang leg photo!

Lu Qingze: ? ? ?
