The Governor's Office in Luoyang City is now invaded by Wei Zheng and Yuchi Jingde as the general commander of disaster relief, so this place is also a temporary disaster relief official.

The governor of Luoyang is Zhang Liang, an old man from Tiance Mansion, so Yuchi Gong and the others did not shy away from it. Zhang Liang was the one who came to Luoyang.

"No wonder the famine just started, Luoyang City was surrounded by disaster victims. It turned out that someone was making trouble behind him. Jingde, we two led the army to chop off the gangs. A group of mobs, wouldn't it be fine if they killed the thief heads?" Zhang Liang said angrily in the Governor's Mansion.

"Reckless! You, Zhang Liang, are also a magistrate guarding the side. You are so reckless and impulsive, no wonder Henan told such a big thing that you didn't notice." Wei Zheng scolded directly.

"Wei Heizi, you..." Zhang Liang was choked and pointed at Wei Zheng and wanted to curse him, but was stopped by Yuchi Gong.

Yuchi Gong advised: "Before leaving, Your Majesty gave me the instructions. I will follow Xuancheng's journey. Lao Zhang, you must obey your order."

"Hmph, for your sake, I won't bother with you. Jingde and I were both old men from the Qin King Tiance Mansion. It's not your turn to teach me a lesson." Zhang Liang said a little angrily.

Wei Zheng knew that the generals were rebellious and did not make any more conspiracy. He said lightly: "Henan Road has a severe drought this year, and it has not rained for two months, and no one in Henan Road has reported to the court.

Don’t you, Zhang Liang, the governor of Luoyang, know about this at all?"

What? You...I...

Zhang Liang looked at Wei Zheng in shock.

Wei Zheng continued: "Okay, even if you are a general who protects the country and protects the people's lives, you ignore the people's livelihood.

But the entire Henan Road is undercurrent, almost closing all the eyes and ears of the court. The situation is so urgent. Can you, Zhang Liang, still pretend to be ignorant? There is no hearing at all?"

Zhang Liang was speechless and blushed with blood, almost vomiting blood when Wei Zheng said, "Are you saying that I, Zhang Liang, and these people, betray Your Majesty in anger?"

Yuchi Gong stood up and advised: "Xuancheng doesn't mean this. Lao Zhang, don't get me wrong. Tell you this, just to let you know that the situation is urgent. In addition to disaster relief, this is the top priority for us to lead the troops out this time.

If we can't trust you, we won't tell you this, let alone enter your governor's office."

Then he turned to Wei Zheng and persuaded him: "Old Wei, Lao Zhang's loyalty is absolutely fine. But you know that we generals are careless and know how to practice military affairs all day long, so... there will inevitably be negligence.

Let’s quell the chaos and disaster relief first. Let’s talk about these things later. Just give me instructions. Zhang Liang and I will be assigned to you."

After saying that, he gave Zhang Liang a wink. Zhang Liang was not a fool, so he bowed to Wei Zheng and said, "I have neglected my duties. After this matter, I personally apologized to Your Majesty and apologized to Wei Xiang.

Everything is followed by Wei Xiang’s orders, and there is no other word.”

"Your merits and demerits will be told to Your Majesty that you and my colleagues do not need to salute me." Wei Zheng said calmly.

Zhang Liang curled his lips and thought to himself that Wei Hei's face was really stinky and stinky.

However, after everything was said, we abandoned the barriers and established initial trust. The three of us didn't talk much, so Wei Zheng began to assign tasks.

When he heard Wei Zheng say that it was a refugee instigated by the monk, Zhang Liang rushed to say, "Don't worry about the manpower. Although the officials in Henan Province cannot use it, I have five hundred adopted sons, all of whom are capable people. It is not a problem to lead everyone to kill the thieves and quell the rebellion."

Well... how many? Five hundred?

Yuchi Gong and Wei Zheng were stunned. When did it happen? I haven't heard of it.

Wei Zheng frowned, and Yuchi Gong asked directly: "Old Zhang, why are you doing so many adopted sons? Do you lack sons? Or do you like to call you father?"

Zhang Liang shrugged, "Hey, are you still not sure about my family affairs? It's not a strange reason. When I met an alien, he said that I couldn't suppress Luoyang, the important part of Dongdu, so I told me to raise more adopted sons and use people close to me to consolidate my jurisdiction over Luoyang step by step, so I can slowly suppress it."

Yuchi Gong also had a superstitious habit of a sorcerer in the world. He didn't doubt that he was, and he said oh, and he didn't say more.

But Wei Zheng was a real faction and immediately said, "I don't know what this person is doing. Using this method will allow you to control Luoyang step by step. However, the court's laws and regulations strictly prohibit people from being nepotist. Where do you place the rules of the Tang Dynasty like this..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Liang interrupted impatiently, "I said Wei Hei-faced, are you done? I'm just doing it for the job? Luoyang is the Dongdu, I'm not a royal relative, and I have no foundation here. I'm in charge of everything here, so I don't need to ask for a magic bullet business? Is it easy for me?

I also want to go back to Chang'an to be a Taiping General with Your Majesty, but I am afraid that my Majesty's expectations and kindness will be disappointed. Letting me be this border official is extremely honorable and favorable. Zhang Liang will never die to repay the emperor's kindness."

Wei Zheng looked at Zhang Liang deeply and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, you have to know what you want to do."

Wei Zheng was kind to mention this sentence, but he didn't know if Zhang Liang understood it or not, because adopting five hundred adopted sons is not a small number. The reason for controlling Luoyang is to be loyal to the emperor, but it can also be said to be a clique and a private plot.

So Wei Zheng's first feeling was that the Yiren who gave advice might not have been kind enough. Maybe he was hurting Zhang Liang. Unfortunately, he had no friendship with Zhang Liang. So he said that he should not persuade others to speak lightly, so Zhang Liang probably wouldn't listen.

"For the time being, we will remain calm and mainly provide relief to the victims. When the drought first arrived, there was a famine on Henan Province and the people were displaced. We must first ensure that the victims will not starve to death. Only when His Majesty raises enough food to calm the disaster will we have the opportunity to organize a counterattack. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, these victims will be incited to fight against the court.

Zhang Liang, your five hundred adopted sons are sent out to secretly investigate the movements of the people behind the scenes. As long as we grasp their movements, we are not afraid of them doing whatever they want.

Remember, you must choose a trustworthy person. Do you remember clearly the details of so many adopted sons?"

Zhang Liang snorted lightly: "Of course, do you think I don't know these? These are all selected by the orphans I adopted, and their life experience is innocent and credible."

Yuchi Gong smoothed out the situation and said, "Okay, okay, let's continue to talk about the serious business. Old Wei, can you solve the 100,000 victims in Luoyang? They organized themselves to surround Luoyang, but they also shouted to kill Du Shaoqing and sacrifice to the sky. This is to threaten the court. We are very passive. If they go further, it will be difficult for us to kill."

Wei Zheng pondered: "That's right, let me think about it. I'll send someone to touch the other party's background for the time being. The public opinion organization of 100,000 people must have leaders of all sizes and big or small, otherwise I wouldn't be able to achieve such a neat momentum."

"Yes, I found the rumor-monger and caught it directly. Without the snake head, there will be no trouble." Yuchi Gong praised. Wei Zheng smiled without saying anything or pointing it out. He actually didn't think so.

Two days later, the voices of the victims seemed to have subsided, and the voices of shouting to kill Du Shaoqing and sacrifice to the sky became much smaller. The incident was very surprised when it came to Wei Zheng. Could it be that Du Shaoqing from Chang'an took action?

"Report, Wei Xiang, I found out. Some disaster victims said that it was a young man surnamed Wang who analyzed this with everyone. Many people heard that Dajue was right, so they stopped shouting and beating and killing." One of them came down to report.

"Quickly and secretly find out the identity of this young master surnamed Wang, and report it immediately when there is any news. I want to see him."

Yuchi Gong next to him said in confusion: "Old Wei, it's just a baby, why are you so nervous?"

"The one who can help to help in secretly rescue the siege is a friend but a non-enemy. Maybe it's someone sent by Du Shaoqing. Now we can detect the changes in the situation, and the enemy will definitely be able to do so. If the enemy finds this person first, they might be jealous." Wei Zheng said worriedly.

Outside Luoyang City, Wang Ce took Di Renjie and his brother and sister together, walking casually while seemingly chatting with the people unintentionally. Because several of them were underage children, the people became much less wary of them.

So as he chatted, Wang Ce used his own doubts to make many people realize that drought has nothing to do with individuals, nor has it to do with unjust, false and wrong cases. It is actually useless to shout and kill Du Shaoqing.

After walking with the other party for two days, Di Renjie admired this person more and more. He studied in Chang'an for two years, and had so many teachers and so much knowledge. But when it was time to use it, he dared not say that he was completely better than this boy who was a few years older than him. The other party had the same flexible mind.

"Uncle, are you calling to kill Du Shaoqing? What is Du Shaoqing like?"

Among the crowd, Wang Ce asked curiously at a middle-aged man with a simple face.

The man snorted coldly and cursed: "Du Shaoqing? That's not a thing, he is an unforgivable demon who killed many people."

Di Renjie cursed in his heart, what question was Wang Ce asking? Isn’t this digging a hole to scold the master?

But he could only watch and press Xiao Xuanxuan to prevent her from moving. Otherwise, this girl would definitely stand up and fight and scold her father in front of her. Who can tolerate it?

After hearing the man's answer, Wang Ce became even more curious and asked: "Oh? Then do you know this Du Shaoqing? Who did he kill?"

Everyone in the crowd shook their heads, "I don't know you, I have never heard of such a person before. As for whom I killed, they are all good people anyway."

OK... Wang Ce is almost used to it, and it is not the first time he has heard this answer. So are these people, shouting and killing at someone he has never known and has never heard of? What's the picture?

"That's wrong. No one knows that person, why do you hate him so much? And if you really want to take revenge, wouldn't it be enough to just find that person to fight?"

Everyone was amused by the child's words, and the man laughed and said, "Do you think it's the child who fights and takes revenge?

In fact, when it comes to hatred, how can we have any hatred with the devil? We don’t know where he lives.

The reason why everyone is shouting is that the devil kills too many people, angers God, and this drought has caused us to have no food to eat. By calling him to kill him to sacrifice to heaven, we can calm God's anger and have food to eat in the future."

Di Renjie immediately questioned: "No, right? Don't we have food now? Didn't that give it to the high-ranking officials in Luoyang City? Could it be that everyone called it all day long?"

Well... the man was choked and then argued: "It's not the same thing. What I meant is that it rained, and our grain would be harvested. Eating our own food is not supported by others."

It's okay to deceive the child, but Di Renjie didn't buy it. "But the time for collecting food has passed now. Even if the devil is killed, God is kind to rain, and there is no crop in the field. We still have no food to eat at home."

I...you...

"As long as there is rain, plant crops again, it will be harvested in a few months." The man was speechless.

"As you said, it will take several months to wait for God to give us food. So how can we survive in the past few months? Isn't it still the food given to the high-ranking officials in the city?

If you count it this way, it has nothing to do with whether you kill the devil or not, and it has nothing to do with God. Now the devil is not dead, God is still getting angry, but the city has been giving away food and we are not hungry.

Uncle, you are so stupid, you can't even understand this..."

Di Renjie used his child's talent and finally started to mock him with disgust. Everyone laughed. The man was speechless. Facing everyone's ridicule, he finally turned red and shouted at the top of his voice: "What do you kids know? Anyway, it's right to kill the devil with everyone."

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt that someone had been attacked. When I looked back, I saw that it was a dirty little girl.

When Di Renjie saw it, he immediately carried Xiao Xuanxuan back. It turned out that while he was not paying attention, Xiao Xuanxuan slipped behind the man and kicked the man's butt hard to avenge his father.

"Ahem, my sister is playful and ignorant, I'm really sorry." Wang Ce said with a smile, and then hurriedly took a few people away.

Someone in the crowd said casually: "These children are so strange. Other children are so hungry that they are pale and thin, waiting for food all day. They run around like nothing is wrong. How come they are suffering from disaster?"

"Hey, kid, it's normal to be more active.

But what the child said seemed to make some sense. Although we prayed that God would give us a chance to survive, there would be no food lost in heaven. If we want to survive, we still have to rely on the court to help us."

Yes, that's right... everyone agreed.

"Will you still shout in the future?"

"Call me, just have nothing to do, just join in the fun."

...

Wang Ce and his few people found a secluded place, sat down and rested, Di Renjie sighed, "Brother Wang, it seems that there is no hope to completely break this rumor. These people are simply foolish. Even if they understand that they are wrong, they still have to follow the crowd and shout with them."

Wang Ce smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, the characteristic of Chinese people is that they like to join in the fun. Since this road is not clear, think about another way.

We have also gone to many places in the past two days and persuaded many people. The rumors have stopped at the wise man, and the shouts of killing have become much smaller, which is very good."

Both of them were racking their brains to think of countermeasures. Xiao Xuanxuan kicked the dirt under her feet with an angry look on her face, "Hmph, these bad guys, if you have the ability, just call me, you will know how to call me... Calling Du Shaoqing alone, why don't you dare to call Li Shimin?"

The little girl almost said to be my father, and quickly changed her words and talked about Du Shaoqing.

When Wang Ce and the other two were scared to death, Di Renjie pulled Xiao Xuanxuan over, knocked him gently on the other party's head, and scolded him: "You girl don't know the world. How can you shout your Majesty's name casually? When someone hears it, you may be killed by you. Don't mess around."

"Hmph, coward, isn't it just a person who calls a name? Why can't you say it?" Xiao Xuanxuan turned her head.

Wang Ce had a flash of inspiration, but instead thought of a countermeasure.
