Sure enough, after the Spring Festival, the imperial edict came, asking Yu Le to go to Jinling to take up his post. The official position was given to Shizhong, who was less than sixteen years old, and was promoted to the fifth rank, which was unprecedented! The military academy is managed by Tian Lin.
Yu Le left Lushan County in mid-February, and the wedding of Ruan Che and Zhang Zhen was also held. However, what surprised Yu Le was that Emperor E was pregnant. He was still worried about leaving, but the holy will was difficult and he had no choice but to leave. Don’t obey!
Yu Le and Ruan Che traveled lightly and simply. Because they were traveling by water, Yu Le did not take Emperor Mo with him and left it with Emperor E for emergencies. This was the first time for the two of them to swim in the Yangtze River. Yu Le finally saw what the Yangtze River looked like thousands of years ago. It might be the dry season. The Yangtze River at this time was not very wide. It was more than ten meters long. There were people standing on both sides. The trackers pulling the boat, even though it was winter, the trackers were sweating and pulling the boat forward in unison, listening to the orders.
"Sir, the trackers are really working hard!" Ruan Che couldn't bear to see the hardships of the trackers.
"Yes! Compared with them, how lucky we are!" Yu Le also sighed with emotion. If modern times were better, there would be no trackers.
I originally thought I could see the beautiful natural scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River, but all I saw was a desolate and desolate scene. Last year's severe drought has not been resolved yet, and the original fertile land on both sides has long been turned into wasteland. The village was also in dilapidated condition, as if no one lived there.
"Sir, this, what kind of beautiful scenery is this! This, this is clearly the miserable world you said!" Ruan Che's expression was very confused. How could it be like this? It doesn't match the rumors! Damn beautiful scenery, full of hungry people begging, what kind of world is this!
Yu Le did not expect to encounter such a tragic scene. It seemed that the drought last year was too serious.
"Sir, why are you driving people away? Yes, they are government servants! Driving people into the river is killing people! Sir, stop them quickly!" Ruan Che was anxious.
Yu Le also saw government officials on the shore, led by a person in charge, beating and driving away the victims. You can't just ignore it!
"Boatman, boatman, get the boat to the shore quickly. I have something important to get off the boat."
"Ah! No, distinguished guest, this, this is not the dock where the ship is parked!"
"I'll give you ten taels, can you dock the boat?"
"Hey, it's easy to talk."
It is true that money can make the devil tell the truth.
Yu Le and Ruan Che got off the boat and ran to the place where the government officials were committing violence.
"Stop, stop quickly, the master in question is here, you dare to make mistakes!" Ruan Che also learned to use the big to suppress the small.
Yu Le knew that the ship was sailing on the boundary of Shuzhou (Anqing), which was the territory of Shuzhou governor Zhou Zuo. Yu Le did not know this person, and there was no detailed introduction of this person in history, but he knew that when he later fought against Zhou Guo This person abandoned the city and ran away. He must be a loser.
All the government officials were frightened when they heard that it was for the person in question. However, the person in charge looked at the two of them. The little kid dared to pretend to be for the person in question. He was really looking for death. "Beat me, beat me to death, these two people." People are fake. Anyone who dares to pretend to be a court official is a capital offense. Kill him...ah!" Before he could finish his words, Yu Le used a dagger to hold him back.
"No, don't kill me, I can give you money." The pig-like person in charge was frightened to death.
"Tell them to stop."
"Yes, yes, you guys, stop it, don't fight, don't you fucking look at me, do you think I'm being held hostage?"
The government officials stopped, Ruan Che came to Yu Le's side, and the three of them were surrounded by the government officials.
"Tell me, why are you driving and chasing refugees? Who are you?"
"Ah! Yes, it's the county magistrate who issued the order. He said yes. He said it would affect political performance and not allow refugees to enter the city. The younger one is, it's the county magistrate."
"What's the name of the county magistrate?"
"My name is Zhou Jincai. Yes, he is the cousin of the governor."
Yu Le killed the county magistrate in public, and all the government officials were shocked. They dared to kill him.
"Listen carefully, I am the new appointee, and I have a holy purpose. If you dare to touch me, you will be punished by death."
No one dared to move, because those who dared to kill the county magistrate were either high officials or robbers, but these two people did not look like robbers.
"I now order you to gather all the refugees here, otherwise I will hold you accountable for killing me."
When the officials heard that this was a good thing, they quickly went to recover the refugees.
But there were still flatterers who stayed. An old government official came to Yu Le and said, "Sir, I am Feng Qi, a government official from Qianshan County. If you have any unknown matters, please ask me."
"Feng Qi, you are acting as the county magistrate now. After gathering all the refugees, you will go with me to find your county magistrate."
"Yes, sir, let's do it now."
Yu Le stared at Feng Qi and said to Ruan Che: "Keep an eye on him and don't let him run away to report the news."
"Yes, sir."
More than an hour later, nearly a thousand refugees were chased back, and more than fifty government officials lined up to wait for Yu Le's order.
"Fathers and fellow countrymen, I am Yu Le, and I am preparing to go to the capital to take up my post. I passed by here and saw that you were in trouble and not only were you not rescued, but you were driven away maliciously. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Please Everyone, come with me to the county government office to meet with the county magistrate Zhou."
"Okay, okay..." The refugees were so hungry that they didn't have much strength anymore, and they had to run for their lives for a while.
Feng Qi was very upset when she failed to report the news. Now she had to lead the way again. What she was thinking was that she had offended the county magistrate. This damn thing was done to Zhong. When it was over, just pat your butt and get out. Someone must take responsibility for what happened next. The scapegoat, alas! So unlucky! I didn’t look at the almanac when I went out!
Ruan Che saw the sad look on Feng Qi's face and knew that this guy wasn't holding anything back. Should! A death-defying thing.
At this time, Zhou Jincai was still listening to music happily in the Yamen! But someone came to report that refugees had entered the city.
"What? Who the f*ck dared to bring refugees into the city after eating Bear Heart Leopard? I'll go take a look, F*ck!"
Zhou Jincai left the county government office regardless of the situation and met head-on with the refugee team led by Yu Le.
"Feng Qi, you fucking don't want to live, don't you? How dare you lead these gangsters into the city? Come here, beat them out."
Yu Le watched Zhou Jincai's performance quietly. Zhou Jincai didn't look as tall as Gao Pingchuan. He was a small-sized Gao Pingchuan. He was less than 1.6 meters tall. He must have been used to pampering. He didn't even get out of the sedan chair. He opened the curtain and faced Feng. Qi Kai scolded.
"You guys, you fucking do it! You guys, you don't want to do it anymore!"
Ruan Che pulled Zhou Jincai out of the sedan without saying a word, "You damn little county magistrate didn't kneel down and kowtow to the master in question when you saw him!"
"Ah! What, what is it for the master in the matter, not you, you, ah..." Before Zhou Jincai could figure out the situation, he was kicked to the ground by Yu Le.
"Come here, kidnap Zhou Jincai. I will escort him to Beijing and let His Majesty the Emperor sentence him."
Zhou Jincai, who was lying on the ground, was so frightened that he peed his pants and his crotch became wet on the spot, "Sir! This villain has been wronged! These cunning, no, these refugees came to the city to disturb public order a few days ago and even robbed. In order to protect the civilians of this county, the official Those who drive them away are those who don't have talent. Ah..." Yu Le gave him another kick.
"Are you fucking human? Why do I think you are worse than an animal! Why don't you save these refugees and let them starve to death! You also put a crime on them, okay, you'd better make up some words for the emperor to hear , see if he can believe what you said."
"Feng Qi, take your people to Guancang and give porridge to the refugees."
"Sir, um, the official warehouse is gone, there is no food, it's all sand." Feng Qi knew that this was really a hard time with an upright official, and she didn't dare to hide it.
Yu Le was shocked, "Why is there no food? This is a reserve required by the state for emergencies!"
Feng Qi didn't dare to answer but looked at Zhou Jincai lying on the ground. Yu Le understood that he should be resold, damn guy.
"Feng Qi, take everyone to Zhou Jincai's house and let these people have dinner at Zhou Jincai's house."
"Yes, sir."
"Ah! No, sir, I'm wrong. I'm really wrong. My family has no food left. It's really gone. They've all been sold to the Liang Family Rice Shop. I can do it. Use money to buy it back, please be merciful!"
"Ruan Che, take 20 people to the Liangjia rice store and bring all the people to the county government office. I want to personally review the case.
"Yes, sir."
