Chapter 25
After the disaster, Yuzhou seemed a little listless. The transmission of this listlessness came from the ruins and collapse of buildings. People are always vulnerable in the face of natural disasters. There are ragged refugees everywhere in the city. Looking from a distance, it seems that apart from the lush vegetation, the huge Yuzhou City is more of a desolate and miserable scene.
"Mother, when can we go home?"
asked a thin child curled up in his mother's arms.
The woman who was asked had bitterness in her eyes, but she had to hold up a smile and touch her child's head to comfort her, "Soon, Mr. Xiang is settling down people in batches, and the government is also distributing money and porridge. , It was stated in the bulletin yesterday that those who have been injured by verification will be given two thousand years of money if they are over seven years old. Those who have died will be exempted from corvee for one year, and those who die in a family with more than three people will be exempted from corvee for two years. It will be our turn and we will go home when we get the money."
The boy didn't quite understand the meaning of his mother's words, but when he heard that he could go home soon, he still had a sweet smile on his face, "Mother, when the time comes, shall we take daddy home too? "
Speaking of her husband, the woman couldn't hold back her tears. The earthquake in Yuzhou was extremely severe. When the earthquake hit, the thatched house at home collapsed immediately. The husband was crushed to death in order to save himself and his children. I couldn't even drag the corpse out, so I could only take the corner of my husband's clothes with me to miss her.
While the mother and son were talking, a middle-aged man next to him said, "Heaven, earth and man, the three talents are one. A criminal edict should be promulgated."
Hearing the man's words, the woman opened her mouth wide in surprise, "Brother Zhang, you can't say such a thing. The prime minister said it. Don't deceive the people with false words and disturb people's hearts, otherwise it will be a death penalty."
After finishing speaking, the woman's eyes involuntarily looked towards the vegetable market on West Street. From the direction of the woman, she could see that there were bloodstains from the past few days at the entrance of the vegetable market. Jing Li was not as vigorous and resolute as usual for the rumors. She knew that some people deliberately spread rumors to slander the empress and disturb people's hearts, Jing Li never relents.
While talking, I saw a group of people escorting the prison cart to the vegetable market noisily. The person exudes a strong aura, which is quite different from the appearance when he first arrived in Yuzhou.
Looking at Jing Li's face, the woman was a little distracted, "Anyway, after Mr. Xiang arrived in Yuzhou, our life is much easier."
Zhang San spat on the ground, "It was he who assisted the empress to ascend the throne, which made Daming suffer from constant disasters."
The woman glanced at Zhang San, said nothing, and walked away with the child in her arms.
After taking two steps, the woman was stopped, "Sister, did you dare to ask if you were talking about Jing Xiang just now?"
The woman saw that she was a beautiful girl in purple clothes. Even though her face was dusty, the woman could still see the difference in her. She held her child on guard, with an embarrassed smile on her face, "Mr. Jing Even the little lady will praise the green blood and blue paint."
Feihua saw the dodge in the woman's eyes, and also got in touch with what the man named Zhang San said just now, and probably guessed the woman's concerns, so she smiled and took out a purse from her bosom and stuffed it into the woman's bosom, "Don't worry, big sister." Nervous, we are Xiangye's family members, this outburst is just asking for directions, here are some dry food, if you don't mind, please accept it."
The woman hesitantly took the purse handed over by Feihua. There was no dry food in it. The tentacles were hard, shaped like water chestnuts and horns, and they shook in the hand. The weight was not light, and it was clearly yellow and white. The woman looked at it The surroundings also understood what Fei Hua meant. After all, in such a chaotic time, it is very unsafe for a woman with no strength to hold a chicken with silver taels in her hands.
"Master Xiang lives in Taishou Qin's house, but he is probably not here at the moment. If you go to the vegetable market, you may find Master Xiang."
Fei Hua nodded, and asked the direction of the vegetable market, then said goodbye to the women, and walked towards the carriage on the other side.
"Ma'am, this servant has made inquiries. Master Xiang lives in the Qin Mansion, but he is probably in the vegetable market now. Let's go to the mansion first and wait."
Hearing that Jing Li was in the vegetable market, Wei Young lifted the curtain and said, "I don't want to wait, I'm going to find my husband directly."
After a few days of rushing, Wei Young also looked a little haggard, but she could see Jing Li immediately after hearing this, and all her tiredness seemed to disappear, "I have been separated from Xianggong for a few months, I miss him very much, let's hurry up How about going to see him?"
Fei Hua was a little worried, but seeing Wei Young's insistence, she also agreed, and drove the carriage to the direction the woman said just now.
At this time, Jing Li, who was in the vegetable market, was sitting by the execution seat with a cold face. On the other side was the prefect of Yuzhou, Qin Ye, and on the other side was Mr. Hu Feng, who also came to relieve the disaster.
"You guys disregard the law, spread rumors, and disturb the audience. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you should be beheaded." As soon as the gavel fell, Qin Ye pulled out the beheading sign from the table case and threw it on the ground.
Before the sound of begging for mercy came out, the burly executioner sprayed a mouthful of strong wine on the knife, raised the knife with his hand, and sprayed blood.
The people watching were afraid to speak, and some even covered their children's eyes.
Jing Li looked at the blood all over the ground, her face was not warm, she looked at Hu Feng, "Master Hu, let's go."
As soon as Jingli arrived in Yuzhou, Zhaohua later sent Hu Feng to help. Hu Feng was a member of the Jing party, and he was considered an official voice in the court.The water in Yuzhou City is extremely deep. When the dynasty was changed, Jing Li only exchanged the blood of the capital. However, places like Yuzhou City, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, are far beyond her reach. Jing Li also struggled at the beginning. The old fox and the officials from the Yuzhou side worked hand in hand, and the officials protected each other. When they all thought that they, the local snakes, were rebelling against Jingli, Jingli swiftly killed several corrupt officials, and even vomited out all the disaster relief money that had been swallowed. .
Qin Ye looked at Jing Li's face, and the soles of his feet couldn't help but feel weak. When Jing Li smiled, he was indeed like a god, but this person was obviously not a merciful person. Qin Ye glanced at the blood all over the ground, and casually Wiped the sweat off his face, walked towards Jingli with a smile and said, "Master Xiang and Mr. Hu have been busy for a day, why don't we go back to the house and rest for a while? My wife has prepared bouillon and side dishes, please show me your favor." yes."
The inn where Jing Li first lived was burnt down by Qin Ye's plan, and Jing Li happened to live in Qin's mansion according to the plan. Qin Ye regretted it for a few months, please don't leave this big Buddha, but right now Everyone was in danger, and Qin Ye quickly thought of a countermeasure, which was to win over Jingli and Hu Feng.
A smile appeared in Jing Li's eyes, "Since Mr. Qin is kind, Jing is disrespectful."
Hu Feng also paid attention to Jing Li's meaning, and bowed his hands to Qin Ye, "Thank you, Mr. Qin."
While the few people were talking, the crowd slowly dispersed, but a voice suddenly broke in from the outside.
"Master!"
