"We were ordered to come here to provide disaster relief. I heard from the gatekeeper that we need to pay half of the money and food before entering the city? So, of the Jiuxi and Jieyue in my hand, which one do you want, Mr. Cai?"
Zeiss, who was lying on the ground, was trembling and denied three times in a row, saying: "I don't have this sir! Don't listen to this thief's nonsense, he is framing me!"
Yang Xiu did not follow the courtesy of Cai, and directly handed the nine-tin ax in his hand to Zhao Tiezhu, saying: "Since this thief is spreading the will in vain and ruining the reputation of our officials, then I will punish him on the spot." Follow suit."
Zhao Tiezhu, who took the Jiuxi ax and axe, struck down the body with an ax before the young official could cry out for mercy.
This blind janitor was already destined to end badly when he yelled out those words, "Bullshit general Tiance".
In addition, Yang Xiu also wanted to use the life of this little official to kill the people with evil intentions in Hangzhou City, so that they could open their eyes and not mess with him at this time.
Yang Xiu then said to Cai Tongzhi on the ground: "Bring a message to me and those people. It's okay if you don't provide disaster relief, but don't make trouble here!"
Cai Si lay on the ground and did not dare to reply, just looking forward to Yang Xiu and the others leaving as soon as possible.
After killing this little official, Yang Xiu and the others entered the city smoothly without any hindrance.
And Yang Xiu's story of killing an evil official when he entered the city soon spread throughout Hangzhou.
That night, these wealthy families in Hangzhou gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
But with the gatekeepers' warnings, these wealthy businessmen in Hangzhou decided to stand still as Yang Xiu said, neither to provide disaster relief to the people nor to take advantage of the situation to raise food prices.
No matter how much food and materials Yang Xiu and the others brought this time, they would eventually run out. At that time, they, the local rich and powerful, can wait for the price and sell it.
And some people suggested that by then, their family could send people to pretend to be victims of the disaster to receive relief food from the government, just like the last time Liang Shanbo provided disaster relief.
This proposal was quickly approved by everyone, so that the disaster relief food brought by Yang Xiu and others could be quickly consumed.
But what they didn't expect was that on the first night of his arrival, Yang Xiugang took people with Jiuxi and Jieyue to visit the homes of all the wealthy families in Hangzhou City.
At first, these families thought that Yang Xiu wanted to use imperial power to force them to donate some food for disaster relief.
They originally wanted to send Yang Xiu away like Liang Shanbo, but they didn't expect that Yang Xiu didn't even mention the matter of asking them to provide food after he arrived.
On the contrary, Yang Xiu also gave them a good opportunity to "make a fortune". Yang Xiu planned to exchange the disaster relief grains in his hands for bran, and exchanged one catty of rice for five catties of bran.
This bran has always been used to feed livestock, but as soon as Yang Xiu came, he replaced the disaster relief grain with bran. This made the rich and wealthy businessmen in Hangzhou subconsciously think that Yang Xiu was a traitor who wanted to enrich the country. .
These wealthy businessmen directly and readily agreed to Yang Xiu's condition, and wisely gave Yang Xiu rebates.
Every time Yang Xiu went to a wealthy family's home, he would receive a banknote worth tens of thousands of taels, and when he left, the head of the family would happily send him out the door.
This kind of treatment was something Liang Shanbo couldn't earn even with Fu Yin's father's reputation.
That night, half of the refined rice that Yang Xiu brought was replaced with bran overnight.
Big bags of grain stacked together, it’s so spectacular.
Early the next morning, Yang Xiu arranged for the soldiers to start cooking porridge early.
Because there was no unlimited food for "local operations", Yang Xiu asked the soldiers to cook rice and bran in a ratio of 1:3.
Not only that, in order to prevent anyone from pretending to be a disaster victim, Yang Xiu also asked people to add some sand and gravel inside.
The real victims of the disaster were so hungry that their bodies were pressed against their backs because of the clear soup they drank some time ago. As long as they had something to eat, they didn't care at all about how they ate. Being able to survive at this time is more important than anything else. .
Knowing that a large amount of grain was shipped to Fuyin Yamen yesterday, the victims of the disaster arrived early and brought their families with them, each holding a broken bowl and waiting quietly at the place where the government usually gave out porridge.
The news that Yang Xiuren mixed rice porridge with sand and fukang was quickly spread to the ears of Liang Shanbo by the servants of Fuyin Yamen.
Liang Shanbo, who received an intravenous drip yesterday and was much better after hearing this, couldn't help but feel disappointed. He hurriedly asked someone to prepare a car and headed to the soup kitchen, wanting to question Yang Xiu'an on the spot as to why he dared to do such a reckless thing.
On the way to the soup kitchen, Liang Shanbo also learned that Yang Xiu had sent a large amount of grain to the homes of wealthy families in Hangzhou last night, exchanging refined grain rice for bran to feed livestock.
Liang Shanbo was so angry that his chest heaved up and down after hearing this. Liang Shanbo had already decided that he must report Yang Xiu's evil deeds to Lord Zhou Yi.
When Liang Shanbo arrived at the porridge soup site, all the rice porridge had just been cooked and had not been distributed.
Liang Shanbo glanced at the pots of "rice porridge" cooking in the big pot. Although it was extremely thick, it was not rice porridge at all. It was clearly the paste used to feed animals.
"Stop! Stop everyone!"
The soldiers around him were confused by Liang Shanbo's name.
Yang Xiu walked out quickly, and the person who came in was Liang Shanbo. He quickly asked with concern: "Master Liang, aren't you in bed to recuperate? Why are you here suddenly again?"
Liang Shanbo waved his sleeves and shouted angrily: "If I didn't come, wouldn't I let you do whatever you want here?"
Yang Xiu faced Liang Shanbo's nephew, narrowed his eyes in displeasure, and asked, "Why did Mr. Liang say this?"
"I heard from the yamen that you sent a large amount of grain for disaster relief to wealthy families and converted it into bran. Is this true?"
Yang Xiu nodded without hesitation and responded: "It is indeed true. I exchanged one pound of refined rice with them for 5 pounds of bran."
"So you use this bran to help the victims?"
Yang Xiu still nodded calmly: "Yes, so what?"
"This bran is used to feed livestock, not people!"
Liang Shanbo originally thought that Yang Xiu would be touched and feel ashamed, but he didn't want Yang Xiu to directly ask: "Master Liang, then I would like to ask these victims if they are human beings?"
When Liang Shanbo heard Yang Xiu's rhetorical question, his pupils dilated sharply, and his whole body trembled with anger.
"you you……"
"Yang Xiu, dog thief, are you worthy of Master Zhou?"
"It is in vain that Master Zhou trusts you so much, entrusts you with important tasks, and orders you to come to rescue the people, but you actually ruin his reputation so much!"
The next second, Liang Shanbo heard a piece of information that he couldn't believe.
