Chapter 478: Dog Borrow(1/2)
Both the governor and the county magistrate have bad faces.
Shao Jingheng was such a powerful official that he clearly didn't take them into consideration.
It's just that they understand this matter in their hearts, but they never dare to say it out loud, so they can only swallow their anger.
But they can't leave.
They have always pretended to be upright officials in Nanhe County.
At this moment, even if it's just a show, we have to get the food out and distribute it to the people.
They said, "Then let's wait here for the adults to finish eating."
Shao Jingheng liked this kind of tempered master. He sneered with thin lips and said, "You two adults, are you sure you want to wait here?"
He seemed to have something in his words.
The governor and the county magistrate both seemed to understand something, but they had already said what they said, so how could they go back on their words midway?
Then you shouldn't be scolded by the people.
They all nodded, "Yes."
Shao Jingheng nodded, "Okay."
After that, he took his wife to Zhou's house, while not forgetting to say to Zhou Zhang, "Brother Zhou, there is no need to invite the two adults in."
How could Zhou Zhang not see what Fu Yin and the others were thinking?
At the same time, he also saw that Shao Jingheng wanted to deliberately mess with them.
He even asked cooperatively, "Why?"
Shao Jingheng, "I'm afraid we, the people of Nanhe County, still don't know what these two adults are doing for them, right?"
"It's a rare opportunity now, so naturally we have to let the people see it!"
Zhou Zhang suppressed his laughter and pretended not to understand, and asked, "What do you mean, sir? Our two gentlemen in Nanhe County really love the people."
"Maybe you don't know yet?"
"In order to feed the refugees, Mr. Fu Yin moved his own food to provide disaster relief for everyone."
The two of them said that they had already walked in.
Fu Yin listened from afar...
Zhou Zhang seems to be really helping him speak, but if he walks in...
Then you will clearly hear what the two of them are whispering.
"Brother Zhou did a good job in this play!"
"Brother Shao, this is really an award. We all performed well!"
"Ha ha..."
Shao Jingheng didn't believe that Fu Yin would use his own food for disaster relief. Even before he arrived, he had already asked people to secretly investigate Fu Yin's family.
After eating at Zhou's house, he called over the guards who had arrived first to escort the food and asked them how their investigation was going.
Zhou Zhang is still confused?
What is Shao Jingheng checking?
I heard the guard say, "Sir, the mansions of the governor and the county magistrate have cellars, and the cellars are filled with food!"
"Moreover, most of them are official food!"
It was the disaster relief food distributed by the imperial court previously.
Zhou Zhang understood instantly.
He asked, "What does this brother mean that the imperial court has distributed relief food before?"
He has never heard of disaster relief food.
How could Shao Jingheng not understand what he meant? He nodded slightly and said, "The imperial court has already distributed disaster relief food twice."
"It stands to reason that the refugees here should be able to get food. If the government was doing practical things, the refugees should have been resettled long ago."
"There are indeed more and more refugees here!"
"That's why Your Majesty asked me to come in person."
Zhou Zhang was already very angry when he heard what he said before.
Since the disaster in Nanhe County, the government has only distributed food once, but it was only one pound of rice and noodles per person.
This is simply not enough for the refugees to survive their difficulties.
But the government said there was no more food.
As a large family, the Zhou family has been giving out porridge to the victims.
Right now, their family's food supply is running low.
But they have no regrets, they are doing it for the victims.
But they never expected that this was a hole dug by the government for them.
Zhou Zhang usually has a gentle temper, but this is on the premise of not being bullied, and now he can't stand it anymore.
He immediately ran out to question Fu Yin and the others.
Even if Shao Jingheng held him back, he said, "Brother Zhou, don't worry, we can't alert the enemy yet."
As he spoke, he whispered a few words in Zhou Zhang's ear.
Zhou Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up and a smile appeared on his face.
Shao Jingheng spoke to the guards again, and the guards' eyes lit up, and they all agreed to go out quickly.
It's already evening now.
The governor and the county magistrate were still outside the door trying to wait for Shao Jingheng to come out.
Shao Jingheng had already forgotten them.
He is now going to make a midnight snack for his wife.
Not to mention that he is not doing his job properly. He is obviously here to provide disaster relief. Why does he not take care of the refugees first but only wants to have fun?
Oh, then you are wrong to blame him.
Although our donor Shao did not come forward, he has already asked us to take them in to rescue the refugees.
That very night, the county magistrate and Fu Yin's family were captured by refugees from Nanhe County.
The guards went to the refugee camp in two waves. One wave took half of the refugees to Fu Yin's house, and the other wave went to the magistrate's house.
They rushed in and tied up all the family members of the governor and the county magistrate.
This is to prevent anyone from leaking information.
Then, when they opened the cellar of their home, they saw a lot of official grain inside.
Official rations are stamped with the official seal and date.
This is absolutely correct.
Everyone was very angry. Fortunately, they thought that the governor and the county magistrate were good officials before, but it turned out that they were two dog officials.
Because they were so angry, they even wanted to beat Fu Yin and his family members.
It was the guards who stopped him in time.
"Don't worry, everyone. Master Shao sent by the imperial court has arrived in Nanyang. He will definitely help us deal with the evildoers."
Then everyone calmed down.
But they said that now that they had seen the food, they naturally couldn't just leave.
They all want food.
The guards had already received Shao Jingheng's approval, and after finding the food, they could calculate the quantity and distribute it to all the refugees.
The guards asked everyone to help carry out the food. They first calculated the quantity and then distributed it equally to everyone.
If everyone thinks that these guards can lead them to find food, then they shouldn't dare to steal their food, right?
They should all go down.
The guards did what they said, and after calculating the amount of food, they registered it in the register, and then asked everyone to line up to receive the food.
They divided the grain between the governor and the magistrate's house.
By the time the governor and the county magistrate found out about this, they had already distributed the food and dispersed.
Moreover, it was the guards who deliberately let the two housekeepers go to report to them.
Both of them ran back quickly to take a look.
After hearing their family members tell the whole story and seeing with their own eyes that the cellar was out of food, both of them fainted on the spot.
To be continued...
