There was a severe drought in March, and almost everyone was dead. Where would there be extra water to nurture such a precious flower as peonies?
Jiang Weiwei was a direct descendant of the Jiang family and the youngest son of Jiang Yanxi. He frowned. His eyes were blinded by the sun. He pulled his eldest brother's sleeves and said, "Brother, I really can't stand it anymore. It's too hot." It’s hot, so forget it if they don’t let us in! I want to go back.”
Among them, Jiang Shoucheng, another direct descendant of the Jiang family, is the oldest, already in his early years, and is also the boss of this group of young boys.
He always felt that the weather here was too hot, so he was not angry when he was rejected. Instead, he poured a glass of water for the two guards and handed it over with a smile: "Two young brothers, we are also a respectable family in the capital. If it is anything else, The students have all completed the Master’s instructions, but we are the only ones who haven’t. That’s too embarrassing, so I’d like to ask the two young brothers to make it easier.”
He held the lid of the water bag in one hand, and Guard Jiang held the water bag for him.
The two guards looked at the water in his hand, and their throats were about to smoke. However, the young man was very sinister. Even though the water had been poured into the lid, he looked at them with a smile but refused to let them drink.
One of the guards swallowed his stinging throat and reached out to grab the water bag, but Jiang Shoucheng stepped away: "Brother, what are you doing? It is against the law to break the law and steal people's things."
The two guards were extremely thirsty and their eyes were red. Jiang Shoucheng realized something was wrong and quickly handed them two glasses of water. While they were drinking water, he asked: "In this way, we won't embarrass you. You can do it too." It's convenient, just tell me what happened here, otherwise we won't be able to explain it to Master when we go back."
"Give us some more water..."
The guard who just grabbed the water was already red-eyed: "Give me a little more, and I'll tell you."
"You're crazy!"
Another guard with stronger self-control blocked him: "The Governor has an order, you are not allowed to..."
"I can't control that much anymore!"
The red-eyed guard roared angrily: "Look at the scene in the city. These young gentlemen with tender skin and tender flesh will be tortured like animals and eaten by others. They can give me water and let my family live longer." On the 2nd, they can report the situation to the court so that our brothers and sisters can be saved."
The guard who was yelled at also had red eyes, let go of him dejectedly, and stood aside with his head hanging.
Jiang Shoucheng gave the entire water bag to the guard: "Can you speak now?"
"There is a severe drought in Yuzhou. You cannot enter the city. It has been three months. The county magistrate has already reported the matter. However, the governor of Yuzhou beat him back and sent heavy troops to guard him. The news was not allowed to spread. The county magistrate is now under arrest. We are trapped in the city and cannot get out. We are the guards sent by the governor from Yuzhou City. If anyone tries to force his way in or out, we will not hesitate to kill him."
"The governor didn't open the warehouse to store grain, and even carried all the water stored here to the governor's house. Even for us official servants, the water we received was very little. We still have our families in the city, but the governor Your Majesty, because the city has been dry for too long and there is no water, there has been... cannibalism, and countless people have died of thirst. If this continues... if it continues like this, our family members will all die in it."
"What? There was a severe drought for three months but no report was made to the court. What on earth does the governor of Yuzhou want to do?"
"Of course it is to keep the black gauze hat on top of one's head. The Great Yan Dynasty has laws that stipulate that if a natural or man-made disaster occurs in the area under its jurisdiction, if the local governor does not have timely policies to control it, it will affect political performance."
"For the sake of their own official career, these dog officials actually disregard the lives of the people in the city. It is really too cold-blooded and goes too far."
When a young man encounters injustice in the world, his blood boils and he wishes he could beat up the governor of Yuzhou.
The guards saw the pity of these noble gentlemen and knelt on the ground and begged: "Young gentlemen, please save us! If this continues, everyone in the city will die."
"What are you doing?"
A vicious officer and soldier on the city wall pointed at a group of people under the city wall with a whip: "Catch them."
The guard was startled and quickly stood up and pushed Jiang Shoucheng away: "Quickly leave! Those are the soldiers of the Yuzhou governor. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave."
"Walk!"
Jiang Shoucheng stuffed all the water bags into the guards, and immediately took Guard Jiang's collar and ran to his carriage.
The group of young men behind him were all skilled in riding and shooting. They all got into carriages or galloped away on horses.
Jiang Shoucheng shouted: "Let's gather in Qinzhou. My cousin is the most beloved concubine of the current emperor. Whoever arrives in Qinzhou first, please give me and the guard's name to see Jiang Yankun, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice. That is our uncle." .”
Several people who heard this expressed surprise. The two Jiang brothers had never revealed their identities. They thought it was just a coincidence that they had the same surname as the newly wealthy Jiang family in the capital. They did not expect that they were really a family.
They are also too low-key.
"Brother!"
Guard Jiang in the carriage grabbed the window frame of the carriage excitedly: "You bastard, they killed that guard brother."
Jiang Shoucheng put down the car curtain and took out the booklet that was beaten back by the governor of Yuzhou from his sleeve: "When he begged us to save the people of Yuzhou, he was already prepared to die. He keeps this booklet with him every day, probably It’s a matter of loyalty and trust.”
As for who asked him to do it, Jiang Shoucheng guessed that it should be the county magistrate of Yuzhou.
Countless carriages and horses scattered on the forked roads. When the officers and soldiers who had been stopped for a long time by the guards came after them, the young men on horseback disappeared. The carriages also blended into the nearby caravans, and there was no trace at all.
They didn't know which way to pursue even if they wanted to pursue it.
"Your Majesty, what kind of soup will you make today to send to Jiuzhou Qingyan?"
Gao Yuchu laid out the ingredients: "Is it still pork liver soup?"
Jiang Xinyue shook her head: "Although the poisonous insect is now imprisoned in the emperor's arm, it will cause loss of appetite and weaken the spleen and stomach. I will make porridge with broth today and I will personally deliver it to you."
If he doesn't go, the emperor will be depressed.
"The Imperial Concubine...Where is the Imperial Concubine?"
In the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, Mrs. Sun stumbled in and said, "The Imperial Concubine... Sister Yun... Sister Yun has been kidnapped."
Nanny Lu, who was breathing fresh air in the courtyard while holding the Sixth Prince, was startled. She thought someone was going to assassinate the Sixth Prince, so she quickly wrapped the little breast dumpling in her clothes and hid under the corridor.
Qian Shenghe was peeling oranges for the fourth prince to eat. Sun's shrill voice frightened his hands, and all the orange juice in his hand splashed onto the fourth prince's face.
But he didn't have time to care about the fourth prince. Instead, he helped up Sun who fell to the ground and said quickly: "Your Majesty has gone to Jiuzhou Qingyan."
He didn't ask what happened, not wanting to waste time.
When Mrs. Sun heard this, she immediately turned around and ran out again.
