Li Qinghuan

Chapter 36

The defense at the gate of the city was withdrawn within half an hour, the gate was wide open, and the refugees at the gate rushed into the city like they were grabbing straws to save their lives.

Song Li climbed up the city wall, and said to Heng: "pass down the order, all court officials whose residences are in the capital city of Yu, will open a mansion to distribute porridge and food, and those who violate the order will be severely punished."

Yu Heng hesitated and said, "His Royal Highness, I'm afraid this is not appropriate."

Song Li's voice was not angry but prestige: "What's wrong?"

Yu Heng: "His Royal Highness, opening the government to distribute porridge and food should be voluntary, and it should be regarded as an act of good deeds, not forced!"

Song Li frowned and said, "Say it again, what's wrong?"

Yu Heng looked up at him tremblingly.

There was undisguised anger in Song Li's eyes.

Yu Heng quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "There is nothing wrong! There is nothing wrong! My minister obeys, and I will do it now."

Song Li lowered his eyes: "Go quickly, don't delay."

Yu Heng ran away in a hurry.

Song Li stood on the city wall and watched the refugees who filed in from below, feeling a little uncomfortable. Most of these officials in Beijing were very rich, but asking them to take the initiative to spend a little money to save the lives of these victims was worse than depriving them of their lives. A layer of skin is still uncomfortable.

It's really rich wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road.

Song Li sighed deeply at this thought.

It's not that he doesn't know that this will offend many people, but he doesn't care, doesn't care how those officials will embarrass him, and doesn't care what kind of name will be left in history in the future.

What he insisted on was nothing but what he firmly believed to be correct.

Song Li glanced at the people under the city wall again, turned around and walked down the tower, wrote down the incidents on paper, handed them over to the soldiers guarding the city, and asked them to pass them on to Yu Heng and Li Ze.

He doesn't intend to come back forever, and the disaster relief work cannot be delayed, but what he can do now is to prevent these refugees outside Yu capital from starving.

For the rest, he had to discuss with the governor of Yongzhou as soon as possible before he could make a complete decision. Besides, there was a shortage of money now, even if the palace was emptied, not many refugees could be settled.

For the time being, he can only wait for news from Liu Zijian. There is no news about Liu Yan's affairs yet, but even considering his relationship with Li Ze, Liu Yan will not just sit idly by.However, considering the disaster situation this time, Liu Yan alone should not be able to collect enough relief funds, so he can only turn to Ji Qing.Ji Qing, Ji Qing...

As soon as Song Li thought of Ji Qing, he immediately forgot the business again, and his heart hung up after finally calming down, wishing he could rush to Yuncheng immediately.

Although he knew in his heart that nothing would happen to Ji Qing, and the Ji family couldn't do anything to him now, but he still couldn't let go, and wished he could fly to Yuncheng right now.He suppressed the impatience in his heart and forced himself to calm down. He had to make arrangements for Yu Du's affairs before he could go to Yuncheng.

Song Li drove the carriage to the Kyoto Camp, first whipped and served the leader of the Kyoto Camp in front of the entire Kyoto Camp, and then spread the news.

It can be regarded as killing chickens to warn monkeys, and also warned other officials in the court.After finishing business, it was already evening.Song Li went to the stables in Daying, Kyoto to pick a horse, took his own baggage and left Yudu.

He wanted to see Ji Qing, the sooner the better.

……

In the Ji Mansion, Yuan Qingyang came out from the backyard with two followers, and suddenly remembered what Ji Qing had told him, and shouted: "Yuan Xi!"

Yuan Xi heard his unreliable father calling him at the top of his voice, without any panic, he walked up to him slowly: "What's wrong?"

Yuan Qingyang: "Go and see if the refugees have been let in. Your senior brother has been gone for three days. Count the days, it should be almost there."

Yuan Xi responded, opened the door and left the Ji Mansion, and came back after a while: "It's coming in."

Yuan Qingyang laughed loudly: "It's good to let it in, anyway, your senior brother is gone, that's all right, let's open the house and release the food."

Yuan Xi nodded, turned around and greeted his servants.

Half an hour later, the gate of Ji's mansion was opened, and the servants continued to carry out rice grains. Several large pots were set up at the door, and rice porridge was boiled in the pots, and a pile of steaming steamed buns were placed beside it.

The refugees who entered the city swarmed up, and Yuan Qingyang stood on the steps and yelled loudly: "Line in a row, everyone has a share, enough control! Don't grab, don't grab."

Yuan Xi came over and said in a low voice: "Father is gone, there are still important things to do."

Yuan Qingyang nodded: "Okay, let's go."

……

Qi Bosheng heard a report from his subordinates that many people in ragged clothes came to the gate, so he immediately sent someone to inquire about the situation, and upon hearing Song Li's order to let the refugees in at the gate of the city, he also whipped the commander of the Kyoto camp who obeyed his order After a pause, he was suddenly so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke.

Before he could catch his breath, an order came down again: all the mansions in the city were opened to provide food and relief to the victims.

Qi's Mansion is the official residence closest to the city gate of Yu Capital, and many refugees have already arrived at the gate, it can be said that the entire Qi's Mansion is completely surrounded.

Qi Baisheng had no choice but to send someone to put porridge and food at the door.But he also silently remembered Song Li in his heart. He could not forget about distributing porridge and food, after all, the money was not a big amount to him, but someone must have stopped Song Li when he ordered the refugees to come in. Well, Song Li let people in regardless of the obstruction, and even beat up the commander of the capital camp, which is to blatantly refute his face.

Qi Baisheng couldn't tolerate being refuted by a brat. You must know that he is under one person and above ten thousand, and even Song Duan would give him some face. How could he have suffered such a disadvantage?Song Li is so ignorant of the world, he doesn't even give him face, it's not easy to handle at all.

……

Song Li drove non-stop for a day and a night, and finally arrived in Yuncheng in the evening of the next day. He had already handed over the affairs of Yu Du to Yu Heng and Li Ze, and sent a letter to his second brother before leaving. Xie Yuheng and Li Ze temporarily accommodated the refugees in the city. With Song Kan's status under pressure, and at the feet of the emperor, the officials could not make any big waves and troubles, so he could leave with peace of mind.

For the time being, Yu Heng and Li Ze are not needed to negotiate with the governor of Yongzhou, but more people are needed to coordinate with Yu Du.

Song Li was full of refugees along the way. He was dressed in rags and had a yellow and thin face, but he was very bold and wanted to pounce on him several times to rob him.Seeing their pity, Song Li gave the refugees all his silver and some valuable things.

But there were too many people, and he couldn't tell them apart. He felt uncomfortable watching, so he could only pretend that he didn't see it, and speeded up.

After entering Yuncheng, Song Li led the horse to inquire all the way, and found the mansion of Master Ji Mingji in Yuncheng.

Song Li got off his horse at the door, stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.Not long after, someone opened the door. It was an old man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. Song Li was a lot taller than that man. He looked inside through the opened door effortlessly. Disappointed, he said politely: "Old man, I..."

The old man's tone was not friendly, and he interrupted him directly: "What are you looking at? Who are you looking for?"

Song Li tentatively said, "I want to ask, is Ji Qing there?"

The man's face changed: "What Ji Qing? Our Ji family doesn't have such a person."

Song Li stepped back a few steps, looked at the door plaque again, and said to himself: "This is Yuncheng Ji's Mansion."

Seeing him retreating, the old man was about to close the door again.

Song Li strode forward and stretched out a foot to block the door: "Old man, do you really not know Ji Qing?"

The old man said fiercely: "I don't know him, why should I know him, a lost dog?"

When Song Li heard him say that, Ji Qing felt as if struck by lightning, and was furious: "A lost dog? You have the ability to say it again."

The old man was a bully, seeing him angry, his expression calmed down, but he still maintained his momentum and asked again: "What do you want him for?"

Song Li frowned: "What do you care about?"

The old man: "Then I have to ask what relationship you have with him?"

Song Li: "No. Just say if he is here? Don't lie to me, or I won't spare you."

The old man shook his head: "Not here."

Song Li lowered his head and looked down at him with a strong sense of oppression: "Aren't you here?"

The old man: "I'm really not here."

Song Li withdrew his foot: "Okay."

If he's not in Ji's mansion, where can he go?Could it be that they were hidden by the Ji family?Song Li panicked, could something really happen?No, definitely not.

Song Li kept comforting himself, how could something happen to such an adult.

Song Li calmed down, let's go to the state government office first, and ask someone to help him find out, as Yuncheng is so big, he can't find it alone.

It's funny to say that after seeing him for several months, he never worried about Ji Qing, but ever since he knew that Ji Qing had come to Yuncheng, he was worried all over his heart, a kind of unfounded worry.Song Li's intuition has always been accurate, and Yuncheng is a scar that Ji Qing can't tell.

Song Li led the horse all the way to inquire again, and finally arrived at the state government office before dark.

"Who is coming? The Yamen is an important place, and idlers are not allowed to enter." The guard at the door stopped him.

Without saying a word, Song Li untied his ink jade brave and held it in front of the guard.

When the guard saw this Moyu Pixiu, he quickly knelt down: "I have seen His Royal Highness Yu Wang."

This black jade pixiu is the only one in the world, and in the hands of His Royal Highness King Yu, this has been spread among the officials during the Wanxi years, and it has become a symbol of Song Li's status.

Song Li tied the black jade pixiu back to his waist: "This king is here to resettle the refugees in Yongzhou, I think your lords have already received the imperial edict.

It's not too late to do this matter, send an order to all the officials in charge of your state government, and say that the king has invited you. "

Guard: "Obey."

The guard sent people to the adults in the Xuanzhou Yamen, but he brought Song Li to the meeting hall.

Song Li sat straight on the main seat, and while waiting for someone, he recalled the man from the Yamen of Yongzhou. In his memory, the governor of Yongzhou was a middle-aged man with three beards. The meaning of immortality, as for why Song Li remembers...

When I was lost outside Yudu City when I was a child, I happened to meet him who was going to Yudu to report on his work, and he just happened to pick him up.

Tong San... Song Li tried his best to recall what Tong San looked like, as if he had resigned due to illness.

I haven't seen the new general judge. He seems to be the champion of this year's imperial examination. He was awarded the title in the early morning. At that time, he was already thinking about how to settle the refugees, so he didn't pay much attention to it. I just met him later. .

The others had never been to court, and he hadn't seen them either, so they happened to see them all later.
