Chapter 242 (2/2)
”Well, I'll keep this in mind. If it's really what wennuan said, you've really helped me.” Duan Tingxuan clenched his wife's hand. As soon as his voice fell, he listened to Su wennuan's cold hum: ”what words? Can I still cheat you?”
”Yes, I said the wrong thing. I'm used to it. I always don't believe what I don't know, but I forget that you can't lie to me. Hahaha, I'll compensate you for my husband. Madam, don't be sad.” Duan Tingxuan quickly smiled and offered an apology, but saw long Pingzhang and Chu Xiu coming and muttering: ”I've always seen you muttering here. What's the matter? Have you worked out a way to solve the hunger of the victims?”
”There is no immediate solution, but in the long run... Ha ha!” Duan Tingxuan laughed. Before his voice fell, he saw a yamen servant coming out of the Yamen. Seeing them sitting on the steps, he was frightened and said, ”how can the son and Lord long sit together with these people? Please hurry into the mansion and the commander has something to discuss with the son.”
Duan Tingxuan stood up and went into the Yamen with long Pingzhang. When he got to the second hall, he saw that the commander of Jinzhou Wei, Zang Jian, was walking around in the hall. Seeing them coming in and ignoring the salute, he grabbed Duan Tingxuan's arm. There was a cry in his voice and shouted: ”My noble son, what can I do? Can the food of the imperial court come? The heavy rain stopped for two days, but the victims refused to go home without food. They gathered on my Jinzhou street to affect the appearance of my Jinzhou guard, but it's all mouth and have to be fed. I've used military food since three days ago, but these mud legs can eat more than my soldiers Ah, the soldiers can eat five days' rations, which is not enough for them to eat in one day. If the imperial court doesn't have food again, even the soldiers have nothing to eat. At that time, not only the victims will kill me, but also the big soldiers. My son-in-law says that you are the Wenqu star and Wuqu star in the sky. You have to decide for the lower officials... Where the hell are you from So many victims came out? I didn't think there were so many people when I collected the prey skins. ”
Duan Tingxuan has no intention to point out the ridiculous mistake of Tibetan sword pressing Wenqu star and Wuqu star on his head at the same time. A clever woman can't make bricks without rice. Even if he is a noble son, he can't do anything in the face of a group of starving victims and thousands of soldiers who are about to run out of food. Unless an immortal can change a lot of food out of thin air, but it's impossible to think about it of
Duan Tingxuan turned to long Pingzhang and asked softly, ”the people who were sent out to meet the Imperial Envoys have not come back?”
As soon as the voice fell, he saw two yamen servants running outside the door. When he entered the hall, he knelt down and cried with a sad face: ”my Lord, it's bad. The imperial grain truck was robbed at Qingsha ferry. The imperial envoy is calling nearby officers and soldiers to attack cangming Island and get back the grain, but for a while, I'm afraid the disaster relief grain is out of the question.”
It was really a leak in the house. It rained all night. Cangjian felt dark in front of him and almost fainted. When he woke up, the brave and resourceless commander completely numbed his claws. Look at the moment, the officials and brothers who used to rely on were sent out to inspect the victims and the disaster situation. None of them was around. It seemed that the only thing he could rely on was the great nobleman from Beijing.
Duan Tingxuan and long Pingzhang were also shocked, and then they became angry. However, the imminent problem of food shortage would not change at all because of their anger. When they were thinking hard about countermeasures, they saw another man running in the second Hall. He was muddy and didn't kneel. He just bowed and saluted. It turned out to be an official. Just listen to him eagerly: ”Shizi, Lord long, Lord Zang, a large group of victims were found on the rabbit mountain in Haizi, Fuzhou. There are thousands of people. I'm afraid they have been hungry for a few days. If you don't send someone to rescue them, you will die.”
”I'll kill them.”
Tibetan sword is furious. If you say it, the commander is not a cruel man. This can be seen from his willingness to obey Duan Tingxuan's command, open general food to the victims, and send people to patrol the disaster and rescue the victims.
However, at present, the imperial court's rescue can't arrive for a while, but half of the military food has been eaten, and the streets are full of victims crying for food. In this case, it's said that there will be another 1000 mouths. For Zang Jian, it's like asking him to die. Either he dies or the victims die, so it's understandable to shout this sentence. (to be continued.)
PS: by the way, did you think you would suddenly put on such a small map? Hahaha
