Chapter 249: The strange dragon gate, the strange Tang Cheng

"Gan Hongyu came to provide disaster relief." In the office room, Tang Cheng raised his head from the notes and said, "From this return, he still acted according to the regulations, but he did not use any means to fabricate charges."

"What we said on the note may not be believed in everything," Yang Jiao shook his head when he heard this, "After all, the people we sent were not around to listen when Gan Hongyu asked. After the people left, they would ask the rural farmers. Who knew what they said in front of Gan Hongyu?"

"It's useless to think too much about this, so I can only say that now. After he returns to the city, I have to meet him before he leaves the dragon gate." Tang Cheng put down the notes, and his expression on his face was much more relaxed. "As long as he doesn't use private means, I will feel much more at ease. I have been distracted by this person in the past two days. Let's put it aside now."

"Well, let's discuss it after we get back from the tolerance for going to the city to find out the details." Yang Jiao had a lot of work in his hands, but he didn't have much time to spend here. Seeing that the matter was finished, he got up and left. Everyone had already arrived at the door. Suddenly, he remembered something again, so he stood at the door and turned around and said, "Mingfu, the lady has started to distribute relief grains in person today."

Previously, Zheng Lingyi had been hiding behind the scenes to calculate the number of job reporting and grain relief. Unexpectedly, they made mistakes the day before yesterday and yesterday when the team distributed grain relief. This was not because someone was tampering with the grain, but because the affairs were too trivial and too many people were too noisy, the person in charge made a mistake. Although the mistake was not big and the discovery was timely, Zheng Lingyi could not sit still.

After all, this is the responsibilities arranged by Tang Cheng for him. The importance of this responsibilities was also said on the same day. Since then, Zheng Lingyi couldn't sit still behind the scenes. After coming back last night, he discussed with Tang Cheng that she would go to the front of others to preside over the distribution of food. Of course, Tang Cheng would not stop this.

Although there were not many restrictions on women's behavior in the Tang Dynasty, not many people showed up in public as the official wife who married a wife. "This is a mischievous manner, and it is difficult for the gentry and officials to do so." Although Zheng Lingyi was not a shy young daughter, he was quite hesitant before leaving this morning.

Thinking of her look when she was secretly grinning herself in the mirror in the morning, Tang Cheng couldn't help but smile, "Well, I know this, what's wrong?"

"Nothing? The grain distribution room for relief is much quieter than before, and the grain is distributed faster and accurate." Yang Jiao carefully looked at Tang Cheng's face and said this, and hesitated, "Mrs. Tang's actions today... Mingfu..."

"Whatever Mr. Yang wants to say is just to be blunt."

"Ah... nothing, nothing, nothing," Yang Jiao waved his hand and the person had already left the door.

Seeing this, Tang Cheng shook his head with a smile. Of course he knew what Yang Kuo meant, but he didn't want to discuss anything about this matter. It would be normal for women to do things in later generations, but it is normal for people these days to think about it. This is an insurmountable gap created by the differences in the times, and it is useless to explain it.

Since you can't explain it, you won't explain it. Do whatever you should do. You can't just worry about other people's opinions.

After a smile, Tang Cheng threw this little episode aside and lowered his head to concentrate on doing the business at hand.

Two riding horses carried Gan Hongyu and his close servants and ran in the fields in the countryside of Longmen.

The cold wind blew away the civilian costumes on Gan Hongyu like a knife, and also dispersed his neatly combed temples. A few of them even drilled out of the brim of the hat and floated around his face with the wind.

But what made the accompanying servant wonder was that his master, who had always been the most tidy person, turned a blind eye to this today. He was riding on the horse and stared at a place with his eyes fixedly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Gan Hongyu was thinking about Tang Cheng, and if he wanted to say that his current thoughts could only be summarized in one word. However, this kind of chaos comes from contradictions.

This contradiction is almost everywhere, and the land under your feet is the best example.

It was not until he really stepped on the land of Longmen that Gan Hongyu knew how severe the drought in this place was this year. As he descended from the county town, there was no green on the farmland along the way on the hillside. The barren fields were filled with dry and cracked wide holes that could accommodate the fist. The disaster caused by the drought had reached a shocking level.

When Gan Hongyu first saw this scene, he felt very heavy. As the inspector, he had been to many places and the people were in a clear way. According to his past experience, any place where he encountered such a disaster contained great risks.

Food is the most important thing for people. The great natural disasters not only bring about the despair, but also the despair of the people. In addition, there is nothing to do in the fields, which constitutes the root of the turmoil. At this time, local governments must especially have small psychological policies. Once there is any inappropriate handling, it is like igniting a fire on a dry firewood pile, which will instantly become a prairie fire. Gan Hongyu not only witnessed this with his own eyes, but also recorded in history books.

Longmen County has such a severe drought. According to the news I heard before, the county government offices were banned from labor service at this time, and natural disasters and man-made disasters came together. This made Gan Hongyu, who was determined to serve the court, not worrying and not anxious.

However, when the worried Gan Hongyu began to visit the farmers and the people, a situation he had never encountered before happened! The people here not only did not have the despair he expected, but were full of hope. Seeing that their spirit was not inferior to the harvest year. At first, Gan Hongyu thought that the people did not dare to say bad things to the county magistrate, but when he visited dozens of farmers in a row, all of them were like this, he had to admit that this abnormal situation was real.

After the first conflict appeared, the second one followed. As we saw along the way, the lives of the people were so hard. In such a disaster year, the man who was young and brave, who was a family in the forefront of every family was pulled out, leaving only the elderly, weak, women and children trapped, searching for everything in the mountains every day, including bark and grassroots, and then with a little bit of food to save one's life.

The people's lives are already so hard, but the county government has never distributed a grain of relief to these elderly, weak, women and children. According to past experience, the people at this time must have been excited and scolded the county magistrate. But here, when Gan Hongyu visited the farmers, these people who could not even have enough bark and grass roots did not complain about the county magistrate Tang Cheng. Not only that, many people also praised him while drinking grass root soup.

The people who were supposed to be desperate but full of hope and could not even eat a meal praised the county magistrate who did not send them a grain of relief. After a few days of visiting, Gan Hongyu saw and heard in the countryside of Longmen, which was something he had never seen in his life. This situation could not even be imagined.

How could this happen? How could this be?

The more he visited Gan Hongyu, the more he became confused, and it became more and more difficult to grasp the subject of Tang Cheng, the investigative person. In such a disaster year, Tang Cheng was undoubtedly a talented person, a talent he had never seen in his career as a censor in the past seven years. However, if the people were in such a difficult life, he would not give up a grain of relief. This Tang Cheng was clearly a complete stupid official, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the disabled people were so successful.

One positive and one reverse, two completely different sides, and both sides are so distinct that Gan Hongyu couldn't tell which side was the real Tang Cheng. Is it the capable county magistrate who the people call, or the stupid official who is the disabled?

This is the question that Gan Hongyu has been thinking about. He has been visiting for several days, but as he visits more, the more he visits, the more he can write this memorial.

"The strange Longmen County, the strange Tang Cheng", Gan Hongyu, who had been thinking for a long time, muttered to himself and then suddenly rolled his horse's heads. Seeing this, the servant asked in surprise: "Master..."

"Go back", while speaking, he had already urged Ma Dang to go first.

It is no longer meaningful to visit again. Now Gan Hongyu is only thinking about one thing in his heart - Ladder Field! It is precisely for this thing he has never heard of that the people of Longmen County are full of hope and praise Tang Chengzhuang while eating tree bark and grass roots.

Gan Hongyu now wants to see what this is. He hopes to find the answer to resolve his doubts there.

When he returned, it was much faster than when he came. Outside Longmen County, Gan Hongyu asked a few pedestrians, led the reins in his hand and went straight to the mountain pass to the right.

Soon he saw everything Ashidezhi saw a few days ago, and he ran back and forth without seeing the beginning and end of the Xirenniu caravan; he was busy in the valley, with the tolerance and civil servants walking with wind; and the man working like ant on the hillside.

In addition, there was something that Ashidzhi had never seen before. When Gan Hongyu saw the man who was sending food in the valley, he was really shocked.

The distribution of relief grain in the disaster was the first priority, and many chaos arose from this. It was too vague that Longmen County Office dared to entrust such an important matter to a woman. With the farmers sent by each team to collect grain, Gan Hongyu moved to the front little by little.

Seeing the woman distribute relief grain with her own eyes, from the name to the verification of the workbook, and then the release of grain in the book, Gan Hongyu looked at the incense sticks in the crowd but couldn't find any mistakes. Everything was based on evidence, and the farmers who received the grain had no complaints. What was even more difficult to understand was that these Ding Zhuang not only did not speak rudely because the woman who distributed the food to them, but instead looked respectful.

It was not until after listening to the whispers in the team that Gan Hongyu realized that this woman who dressed simply and was able to speak and acted well was actually the wife of the county magistrate Tang Cheng.

A county magistrate who can make his wife appear in such a messy occasion to do such trivial things would be a stupid official? Gan Hongyu, who quietly walked out of the team, then went up the hillside. When he visited the busy housemen, the answers to the county magistrate Tang Cheng and the farmers who worked hard at the cold wind were still praised.
