Everyone knows that moldy food cannot be eaten.
It ranges from poisoning and diarrhea to death on the spot. The Wu family actually took such risks for the benefit of thousands of taels of silver.
This can no longer be described as vicious, this is insane!
It's okay not to be discovered. Once discovered by disaster victims, I'm afraid it will immediately cause a civil uprising.
By then, not only Shandong officials would be unable to escape, but even Cao Bin would not be able to escape the fate of having his head dislocated.
To put it bluntly, even if he was lucky enough to hide it from the victims, he could not hide it from Bao Zheng in Tokyo. Cao Bin did not dare to underestimate his insight.
Why did Yan Chasan suddenly join this disaster relief effort, or could he not trust Cao Bin? Keep staring at him!
The next day, as soon as the sky showed a hazy light, Cao Bin got up.
This is the first time that Cao Bin got up so early since he moved to the imperial envoy's residence.
Chang Qinglian was very uncomfortable. She rubbed her hazy eyes, quickly stood up and asked:
"Uncle, do you want to get up?"
After saying that, he got up to serve and dress.
Cao Bin gently pushed her down and said with a smile:
"I can't sleep anymore, so I'll just walk around in the yard. You don't have to work anymore. Just sleep a little longer."
There was a hint of hesitation on Chang Qinglian's beautiful face.
Cao Bin immediately said with a tigerish face: "Be obedient!"
Chang Qing Lian saw Cao Bin put on his clothes quickly and gently closed the door after going out. A trace of warmth flashed in his eyes and he closed his eyes gently.
As soon as he left the yard, Cao Bin's face turned cold. Seeing that the three people in the sedan chair and the commander of the Tiger Wing Army were waiting outside the door, he waved and said:
"Lao Xia and the sedan chair will follow me out of the city. Commander Zhao and Shi Qian will go to ransack the house."
During this business trip to Shandong, I brought a total of 2,500 people with me to listen to the instructions.
Lu Fang and Jiang Ping bought grain and took away a carriage of 500 people. Yan Chasan took another 500 people away. Cao Bin also had 1,500 people guarding the granary and the imperial envoy's carriage.
Upon hearing Cao Bin's order, the eight hundred imperial troops transferred immediately divided into two teams and dispatched with a bang.
The sound of heavy running suddenly boomed in the silent street.
When the people who got up early saw this situation, they hurriedly hid in their homes, closed their doors tightly, and shivered in fear.
"Isn't this going to be a mutiny and murder?"
Two quarters of an hour later, Cao Bin had led people to the south city gate.
When the city guard saw hundreds of well-equipped soldiers coming, he was also panicked and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted:
"Who are you? Why are you marching in the city with soldiers?"
The sedan chair hurriedly stepped forward, raised the tooth plaque in his hand and said: "Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy is here, open the city gate quickly!"
The city guard quickly said: "Do you have an order from Master Chang? Without Master Chang's order, we cannot let the arrow go."
Hearing this, the sedan chair opened his eyes angrily and slapped him:
"Fuck you, your Majesty the Imperial Envoy needs a warrant named Chang?"
The city guard was slapped by him and spun around three times. When he stopped, circles appeared in his pupils, and he looked confused.
The sedan chair shook the big halberd in his hand and shouted angrily: "If you dare to hesitate again, I will kill you!"
When the city guard saw this, he trembled with fright and quickly covered his face and said:
"Open the door, open the city gate quickly!"
With an order, the city gate opened immediately.
At this time, smoke was already rising outside the city, and countless large pots had been set up and thick porridge was being cooked.
The dark masses of victims were waiting in countless columns, and many soldiers were maintaining order around the columns.
Cao Bin came to the cauldron, shook a spoonful of thick porridge and tasted it. A musty smell suddenly rushed to his throat.
It would be strange if this could not be discovered! Thank you for coming in time.
"Uncle Cao, what are you doing?"
Magistrate Juye asked very strangely when he saw Cao Bin and a group of forbidden troops appearing at the relief site.
Cao Bin nodded calmly and said, "Where is Jeju General Judge now?"
Tongpan is the deputy position of the magistrate, and his salary is lower than that of the magistrate. However, the affairs of the state capital require the signatures of both the magistrate and the magistrate before they can take effect, which shows the power of the magistrate.
When Magistrate Juye heard Cao Bin's question, he didn't think much about it and said quickly:
"Master Tongpan is instructing the Yamen servants to distribute the grain. Should I go and ask him to come over?"
Cao Bin nodded and said: "You have to be fast."
Upon hearing this, Juye County Magistrate quickly handed over the matters in his hands to his county magistrate and hurried over.
After a while, Jeju Tongpan walked over quickly and out of breath. He looked at the imperial guards beside Cao Bin suspiciously and asked with confusion:
"Uncle Cao, what do you want from me?"
Cao Bin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and directly waved his hand: "Take it!"
Jeju Tongpan immediately struggled and shouted: "Uncle, why is this?"
Cao Bin said with a cold face: "I want to lend you your head, I hope you won't be stingy!"
The judge of Jeju turned pale with fright and said quickly: "Uncle, please forgive me. I am Master Chang's disciple, and we are our own people."
Cao Bin turned around and looked at the victims lining up and said:
"Have you ever thought about whether they would let you go if they found out that the food you distributed was moldy?"
The Jeju general judge forced a smile and said: "There are five thousand soldiers guarding us, and they dare not make trouble."
Cao Bin shook his head and ignored him.
When the general judge of Jeju saw that Cao Bin seemed to be coming, he immediately panicked and said quickly:
"I am an official from the fifth-grade imperial court. My uncle has no right to kill me!"
He said it was indeed true. Strictly speaking, Cao Bin could only be called an imperial envoy and only had the right to supervise and investigate local officials.
It cannot be regarded as a real imperial envoy.
It's just that Cao Bin didn't intend to take on this responsibility himself...
At this time, the Imperial Army who went to search the house also arrived with the Wu family in custody.
Shi Qian stepped forward and reported: "I'm telling you, Uncle Wu, sixteen members of the Wu family, including the young and old, have all been taken into custody."
Cao Bin nodded and said, "Let's sound the gong!"
Shi Qian quickly took out a gong and struck it hard. Everyone's eyes were focused on Cao Bin.
He found a mound, stood on it, and shouted very concisely:
"I am the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to supervise food supplies!"
He falsely claimed that he was an imperial envoy to attract the attention of the victims and make them believe in him more.
But the victims were very indifferent and looked at him in confusion.
"I declare that today the food will be open for distribution, and everyone can eat as much as they want and eat as much as they want!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the victims came alive, and immediately after, an overwhelming cheer broke out.
"Thank you, sir..."
"Blue sky..."
The message spread to ten, and within a short time, all the victims heard the exciting news.
How many days have they not had enough to eat?
Half a catty of grain a day is enough to sustain life, let alone fullness.
Judging from their skinny appearance, they may die if they are even slightly infected with the cold.
Cao Bin finally felt relieved when he saw the victims' emotions rising.
He first broke the good news to prevent people's hearts from wandering and causing unpredictable consequences.
If the moldy food is thrown away as soon as it comes up, it may immediately cause riots among the victims.
This is hundreds of thousands of people. When the news reaches everyone's ears, I'm afraid it will become
"The government would rather throw away food than feed it to the victims!" Such outrageous stuff.
After mobilizing the emotions of the victims, Cao Bin pointed at the steaming cauldron and said:
"But these grains cannot be eaten!"
