Li Guangyi, who was sitting on the main seat, had a cold face, stared at Hu Mingyi in front of him, and said coldly: "Have you told the people in the General Military Mansion about the relationship between Kaiyang and the Tiger Flag?"

"The student didn't say anything. He just said that the affairs of Xinping Fort are under the control of the General Military Office and the governor's Yamen will not interfere." Seeing that Li Guangyi seemed angry, Hu Mingyi hurriedly explained.

Li Guangyi's face brightened slightly when he heard this, and he said: "Remember, the affairs of Tiger Character Banner and Kaiyang will never be told, and I have no knowledge of their affairs at all, do you understand?"

He said to Hu Mingyi in a serious tone.

"Don't worry, Dong Weng. The student will not reveal a word. Even the things sent by Master Kaiyang will be sent directly to his hometown." Hu Mingyi said.

He has followed Li Guangyi for so many years, and many things Li Guangyi does will not be hidden from him.

So he knew that even though Li Guangyi, the governor of Datong, showed his attitude of dealing with the Tiger Flag, he had secretly been in contact with Liu Heng of the Tiger Flag through Li Kaiyang.

This is not to be optimistic about the tiger flag, but to bet on both sides, and no one wants to offend.

Li Guangyi leaned back on his chair and said: "As for the tiger-character flag, I will not question or target it at most, but I will not stop others from doing what they want to do. The guard of Xinpingbao wants to take the tiger-character flag." If Qi has an operation on Xinpingbao's shop, let the General Military Office take the lead, and the governor's Yamen must not get involved."

"The student also responded to Staff Xue in the same way." Hu Mingyi said.

Li Guangyi nodded and said immediately: "If anyone wants to use the governor's Yamen banner to deal with the tiger-character flag in the future, you should tell them directly. Without the will of the imperial court, whoever wants to take advantage of the tiger-character flag will provoke the tiger-character flag." The banner army is invading, don't blame me for punishing him."

When he said the next two sentences, his voice became colder.

"The student has taken note of it," Hu Mingyi agreed.

At this moment, the tables and chairs in the back office suddenly started to shake, even the tea in the tea cups on the table rippled, and dust fell from the beams on the roof.

Hu Mingyi, who was standing aside, shook his body back and forth involuntarily several times. Seeing his face suddenly changed, he hurriedly reached out to pull Li Guangyi on the seat and shouted: "Donggong, leave quickly, Dilong has turned over."

Li Guangyi, who was on the other side, was not slow to respond. He quickly stood up and followed Hu Mingyi quickly out of the back office.

When they came out, they saw many people standing in the yard, and some of them wanted to rush into the back office to save people.

"Junmen, are you okay?" The military general from the Fubiao Camp on the side hurriedly came to Li Guangyi's side.

Li Guangyi looked back at the house behind him with lingering fear, shook his head with a pale face, and said, "I'm fine. Let's go see if the others are OK?"

"Yes." The general agreed and took some soldiers to other places to check the situation.

"Dong Weng, be careful!" Hu Mingyi exclaimed and hurriedly pushed Li Guangyi away.

I saw tiles falling from the roof and smashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.

A soldier guarding Li Guangyi said: "Junmen, you can't stay here any longer. I'll protect you to a more open place."

"Okay." Li Guangyi nodded and said, "Take Mr. Hu with you."

Soon, under the escort of a group of soldiers and horses from the Fubiao camp, he left the governor's Yamen and came to an open place.

Many people around him also fled here to take refuge.

The soldiers and horses of Fubiao Camp protected Li Guangyi in the middle, isolating the people outside and preventing anyone from dealing with Li Guangyi.

People can be isolated, but voices cannot be stopped.

Many of the people taking refuge around were with their families, some children and women were sobbing softly, and many adult men looked ugly.

A sudden upheaval will cause many families to be torn apart, and make some families who are already living in hardship even worse.

"Natural disasters are even worse than man-made disasters!" Li Guangyi said with emotion as he looked at the miserable people around him.

Hu Mingyi, who was standing on the side, said: "The natural disaster cannot be stopped by human power. Fortunately, it is not serious, and the earth has been civilized. We only need to wait for the wild vegetables outside the city to grow, and the people affected by the disaster can survive this period."

"When it stabilizes, remember to arrange for people to go to other places to take a look. For places that have been severely affected, let the local government organize local gentry to stabilize the situation. There must be no rebellion." Li Guangyi handed over the disaster relief work to Hu Mingyi.

The fact that the disaster in Datong Prefecture is not serious does not mean that it is not serious in other places. Every time the earth dragon turns around, more than one place is affected by the disaster.

Hu Mingyi responded: "Don't worry, Dong Weng. According to the students, either the earthquake is not serious this time, or the severely affected area is not in Datong."

"I hope it's not Datong!" Li Guangyi sighed.

The Tiger-Character Banner has not yet been resolved. Once the earth dragon turns over and a large number of refugees are caused, he is not sure whether the Tiger-Character Banner will take this opportunity to unite the country.

Now he just hopes that the disaster in Datong will not be serious, so that many people will not become homeless because they cannot eat, let alone be secretly tempted to rebel against the court.

Hu Mingyi said from the side: "It would be great if the Earth Dragon turned around and emerged from Qingcheng. Natural disasters can destroy everything in Qingcheng without the court taking action."

Qingcheng is hundreds of miles away from Datong. If Datong Prefecture can feel the earth dragon turning over in Qingcheng, Qingcheng may be destroyed by this natural disaster.

Unfortunately, this is just wishful thinking on his part.

The northern part of the Ming Dynasty has experienced more than one serious earthquake disaster in recent years, but such natural disasters rarely occur on the grasslands. Most of the time, they are affected by the Ming Dynasty.

"Remember to ask the states and counties to make statistics on the disaster situation, so I can report to the court and ask for disaster relief," Li Guangyi said.

Hu Mingyi nodded.

When a natural disaster occurs, unless the local government deliberately conceals it, they will ask the court for disaster relief. As for whether the court will provide disaster relief, it is not certain.

The place where the earth dragon turned over was not Datong, but Luanzhou, the capital.

For a time, countless houses were damaged in Luanzhou, the ground cracked and water gushed out, and the walls of surrounding prefectures and counties were destroyed. In the next half month, earth dragons appeared repeatedly in Jizhou, Yongping, and Shanhaiguan.

Li Guangyi was very happy to hear this.

"Advisor Xue of the General Military Mansion also said one thing this time." Hu Mingyi said: "He said that the Tiger Character Banner's shop in Xinpingbao did not pay taxes. Listening to what he meant, Xinpingbao guard Huang An I have the idea of ​​​​taking action against the Tiger Character Flag Shop. I think it’s better to let Master Kaiyang and Liu Heng talk to each other. Anyway, the Tiger Character Flag is not short of that little money, so why not take the initiative to pay the tax money."

After speaking, he looked at Li Guangyi, waiting for him to make up his mind.
