Chapter 187 Grab food
Yang Qiuchi shouted to the governor of Quan and the governor Tan, "Do you know what it means to force the people to rebel? You have embezzled all the food for disaster relief, pushing tens of thousands of hungry people to a dead end. If you want to cut off their life, you are forcing them to rebel!"
He pointed his hand at the Yamen Square and rest assured: "Do you know how many hungry people have starved to death in Wuchang City these days? Now you listen, listen! Tens of thousands of hungry people outside the Yamen are like a torrent, and riots are about to occur! Now you can only confess truthfully, recruit food as soon as possible, and provide for the disaster relief. Otherwise, this official will immediately behead you two and show them to the public to appease the people!"
As soon as he heard that his head was about to be chopped down, Master Tan trembled and shouted, "Sir, please spare me, I know where the food is!"
"Tell me quickly!" Yang Qiuchi shouted.
"In the granary of the Mi Junwai's house, hundreds of steps behind the disaster relief yamen! Millions of kilograms of rice from the two disaster relief yamen were there!"
No wonder, Mi Yuanwai’s granary is right behind the yamen, and it is very convenient to secretly sit in Chen Cang.
At this moment, the noise outside the yamen was getting louder and louder, and the shouts of robbing grain were coming one after another! One hundred thousand times are urgent, and we must make a quick decision!
Yang Qiuchi did not care about being polite, and issued an order as a special envoy, and said to the criminal envoy, Lord Shi, first: "Mi Yuanwai has colluded with the governor of Quan and the governor of Tan, and embezzled the food for disaster relief and set fire to put out the traces. It has violated the law of the king. Please send someone to Miyuan immediately. There are already 100 Jinyiwei sent to control the Mi family. You will arrest Mi Yuanwai. I will interrogate myself later."
"Abide by Lord Yang's order!" Lord Shi bowed and immediately stopped people from arresting Mr. Mi.
Yang Qiuchi said to the commander-in-chief again: "Master Wu, please bring someone to push down the back wall of the yamen and transport the disaster relief grain from the rice clerk's granary to the front of the yamen as soon as possible. Let's open the warehouse and release the grain immediately."
"In addition, please send someone to build a control channel from here to the north gate. After a while, the hungry people receive the food and immediately send the hungry people outside the north gate. In addition, you can send people to transport a large amount of firewood to light a bonfire to keep the hungry people warm overnight. You will also open a porridge factory to provide porridge for disaster relief. Then send troops to maintain order."
The commander of the commander of the Duke Master Wu saw that Lu's car was in a moderate manner. He was calm and impressed. He clasped his fists and said, "As for order!" Just as he was about to leave, Yang Qiuchi shouted again, "Wait, Master Wu, if you have bows and arrows, please find someone to send a few bows and a pot of arrows immediately."
Master Wu didn't know what Yang Qiuchi wanted to do for bows and arrows. He didn't ask much, agreed and hurriedly took the people away.
Yang Qiuchi hurriedly walked to the Ertang Book Case. He picked up his brush and hurriedly wrote a few lines of words on a piece of paper, then walked to Nangong Xiong and handed him the note. Then he lowered (the original text here is missing)
At this time, Master Wu had already sent someone to send a few bows and a pot of arrows. Yang Qiuchi said to Song Yuner: "Yun personally, are you shooting arrows accurately?"
Song Yuner smiled, picked up a bow, took a sharp arrow from the quiver pot and put it on it, and looked out the door. She saw that outside the gate of the second hall leading to the front hall lobby, walking to both sides, two rows of columns, with big red lanterns hanging on it. She said, "I want to shoot down the second lantern on the right!"
Yang Qiuchi looked up and saw that the lantern was at least sixty or seventy meters away. The rope hanging on the lantern was so far away that it could be said that it could be said that it would be hundreds of steps to penetrate the willows.
Song Yuner's feet were t-shaped and focused, creaking and squeaking the bow and arrow, and a light sound; "Zhong!"
The arrow was like a meteor, and lightning flashed out. A sound from the local area was heard. The arrow was nailed to the head of the second pillar. A big red lantern hanging from the pillar fell in response to the sound, falling to the ground, slowly ignited, and a yamen run over to put out the fire.
"Good arrow technique!" Yang Qiuchi praised, "You can go to the top martial arts exam!"
Song Yuner smiled proudly and asked, "Brother, why are you doing my archery test at this time?"
"I'm telling you to shoot people right away!" Yang Qiuchi said, "Wait a while before we get outside the door, you listen to my order. If someone dares to incite the robbery of food, you can shoot him to death with an arrow!"
Everyone immediately understood that Zuo Gongshuo praised: "This is a good move! You should be executed if you incite to steal food, not to mention that you are suspected of instigating rebellion."
After receiving the affirmation of the governor, Yang Qiuchi felt more at ease and ordered Song Yuner to change into a Jinyiwei Feiyu suit. He asked Nangong Xiong and other Jinyiwei guards to change into Jinyiwei Feiyu suits.
The clothes of Nangong Xiong and others were easy to deal with, and the Jinyiwei left behind took off more than ten sets for them to wear, but Song Yun'er was in trouble. The Baijinyiwei was all big men with big arms and round waists. She finally found a slightly thinner one. She took off her flying fish suit and put it on Song Yun'er. She was still loose and loose like Sun Kuk was wearing a official uniform. She had to roll up her sleeves to facilitate archery.
Yang Qiuchi said to Zuo Gongshu: "Sir Qian, let's go and announce the opening of the warehouse and the release of grain!"
The left governor saw Yang Qiuchi arresting the right governor and the prefect Tan on the spot (it was not clear here) and said fearfully that he would implicate himself. Now when he heard Yang Qiuchi tell him that he wanted to go with him to announce the opening of the warehouse and release grain, he realized that his land was not a big problem. He suddenly felt relieved and said incoherently: "Thank you, some... no, okay... Lord Yang, let's go."
Yang Qiuchi pulled the left governor and the two walked out side by side. The Jinyiwei Deputy Qianhu followed closely behind with a hundred Jinyiwei.
On the way from the second hall to the lobby of the front hall, Yang Qiuchi said to the Zuo Gongshu: "How many people are there for food to provide disaster relief in the past?"
Zuo Gongshu replied: "There is no fixed number. It depends on the time, size and amount of food surplus for the people. The township officials in the disaster area are counting the affected population and compiling the list of victims to ensure that the hungry people survive."
"Is this standard set?"
"It should be decided, but in the past, the government official was responsible for disaster relief, so I don't know much about it."
"Then have you ever been in charge of disaster relief before?"
"Of course I have taken care of it." Qian Buzheng smiled, "Natural disasters and man-made disasters occur from time to time. This disaster relief and grain distribution is something that every parent official has to go through. I can't count the amount of food I put in my hands before."
"Very good. Can the disaster relief grain allocated by the imperial court use the hungry people in the city?"
"The court allocated two disaster relief foods, but they were enough."
"That's good," Yang Qiuchi felt confident. "When I arrived at the front hall later, you will arrange the specific affairs of the disaster relief site. I will take people outside the yamen to stabilize the order."
"Yes, yes," Lord Qian nodded repeatedly. He was also worried that Yang Qiuchi was appointing him to appease the hungry people. Faced with tens of thousands of emotional hungry people, he could not think of a way to appease them. He directly released food, which may cause chaos in order and the hungry people to rob food out of control. Now the envoy went to appease himself, and he felt relieved.
In the front hall, the two-level yamen assistants heard the crowds of people outside the yamen, and from time to time they could hear someone shouting to rush in to grab food. However, several heads entered the back hall and never came out. They were frightened. When they saw Lord Qian and others coming out, they felt relieved and found that the other adults were missing and muttered in their hearts.
This disaster relief and grain release is something that the governor often does. He is familiar with the road, so Lord Qian immediately began to organize specific grain release affairs. He arranged an assistant to accompany Yang Qiuchi from the third rank to comfort the hungry people and announce the release of grain.
Under the protection of Nangong Xiong's guards, Yang Qiuchi left the yamen and heard a mess outside the yamen like a pot. Some fences had been pushed open. The officers and soldiers and the constables were erected in several rows of human walls, desperately blocking the hungry people's push.
Someone kept shouting in the crowd: "Run in and grab the food. If you don't grab it, you will be burned again!"
"Get robbed food! Otherwise you will be starved to death!"
"They don't let go of food, and these dog officials hope to be happy when we die!"
"If you kill these officers and soldiers, you will bully the common people! Rush in and grab the food!"
...
The human wall composed of officers and soldiers was retreating step by step, and there was nowhere to be resisted. The officers and soldiers and the yamen runners looked terrified, like a dam that was about to collapse in the huge waves.
Yang Qiuchi saw the high platform next to the yamen, and ran up quickly. Nangong Xiong and other guards and Song Yuner, wearing Jinyiwei's clothing, followed him up to the high platform.
Deputy Qianhu led a hundred Jinyiwei to block under the platform and pulled out his waist knife to guard him. Deputy Qianhu already knew that Yang Qiuchi was the commander's envoy. If there was any mistake, he would lose his head if he didn't protect himself. Therefore, he issued a death order. If anyone dared to get close, he would be killed immediately without mercy.
He also wanted to follow Yang Qiuchi to the stage after participating in politics in the third rank, but he saw tens of thousands of hungry people, his legs were trembling and he wanted to go up, but he couldn't take any steps.
Yang Qiuchi shouted loudly to Nangong Xiong: "Start!"
Nangong Xiong took the note written by Yang Qiuchi, glanced at it, and then shouted loudly: "The emperor's kindness is so great, open the warehouse and release the grain!"
More than a dozen Jinyi Guards shouted, "The emperor's kindness is so great, open the warehouse and release the grain!" They shouted several times.
Nangong Xiong's voice was loud, and the more than ten Jinyi Guards were loud, and they shouted in unison. And at a high place, the sound suddenly overwhelmed the noise of the crowd below.
The crowd suddenly became much quieter, but at this moment, someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "I'm a lie! Go in and grab the food!" Many people shouted.
"Dog lying, rush in and grab it!"
"Roar in, get out of fear of death!"
"Get robbed food, or you will starve to death!"
"There are fire inside again!"
...
