Chapter 456: scapegoat
??Chapter 456 Scapegoat
?? "The emperor blesses, and the phoenix body protects the body."
??Master Wei twitched the corner of his mouth forcefully, "Your Majesty really likes to joke."
?? "Do you doubt Bengong's identity?"
?? "I don't dare, I just have some doubts." He said he didn't dare, but his eyes were full of doubts.
??Su Ying didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and said directly: "You immediately send people to set up a tent outside the city, and then set up a pot to serve porridge, so that the victims can eat hot porridge."
?? Master Wei sneered when he heard this, a fake person really dared to come to him and give orders.
He sneered and said: "That's enough, I originally wanted to sing a play with you, to see what tricks you are up to, but who knows that you are so aggressive that you actually tell me what to do, what empress, according to what I say You know, the queen turned into a pool of bones in the flood, who the **** are you, you dare to pretend to be the empress, how brave you are! Come, let me take down this liar!"
??Officials rushed in and surrounded Su Ying, and the guards rushed in to block Su Ying.
Su Ying didn't move, looking at Master Wei as if he was looking at a dead person, "Master Wei, I have given you a chance to reform. If you start to do disaster relief from now on, maybe I can still recover." Leave you a whole body."
??Master Wei looked at Su Ying with chills down his spine, but he believed that Su Ying was a fake, and he really didn't believe that she could do anything to him.
?? "Why are you still in a daze, why don't you hurry up and take him down!"
??The officials fought with the guards, but these officials were no match for the killers who were licking blood on the knife edge. The officials were quickly caught and thrown into the yard.
?? Master Wei didn't expect Su Ying's people to be so powerful, so he turned around and ran away in fright. Su Ying would never give him a chance to leave.
??The guard grabbed the man with one hand and escorted him to kneel in front of Su Ying.
?? "You, who are you guys? Let go of me. I'm an imperial court official. If you dare to hurt me, you will be beheaded!"
??Su Ying got up and walked forward, his eyes flicked across his neck, "If you don't do a good job in disaster relief, I guarantee that your head will fall off faster."
?? "You, who the **** are you!"
??Su Ying took out the phoenix card from her body, "Do you know the phoenix card?"
??Master Wei widened his eyes in astonishment, but the golden phoenix card in front of him made him bewildered.
?? Logically speaking, if the queen really fell into the torrent at that time, it would be impossible to survive. If the person in front of her is really the queen, then there is only one possibility. The person who fell into the water was not her at all!
Mrs. Wei had a lot of thoughts, and finally made up her mind: "The Queen's forgiveness is not because the officials did not go to the disaster relief, but because the granary in the city was burned, and almost all the grain and grass hoarded in the granary were burned. There is no food and grass to help the victims.”
??Su Ying raised her eyebrows, "Oh? There is such a thing."
?? "That's right, empress, I don't want to cause trouble for the court, so I have been thinking of a way in the mansion, but I have never thought of how to do it."
Su Ying nodded, "So that's the case. I blamed Mr. Wei wrongly, but the victims can't ignore them. They can't just watch them starve to death. Well, as the magistrate of Luocheng, Mr. Wei should set an example first. Light, you will follow the housekeeper to the granary in the house to count and count in a while, to see how much food is still stored here, leave the part that will not starve to death, and send the rest to the victims of the disaster."
??Master Wei is dissatisfied, but he just thinks about a little food, and takes it as soon as he takes it, and thinks that even if Su Ying is a real queen, that's all he can do, what else can he do?
?? "Yes, everything will be done according to your mother's instructions."
"Well, but this amount of food is definitely not enough, and the people guarding the city need to solve the problem of hunger as soon as possible. Mr. Wei should have known some merchants in Luocheng in the past two years as an official in Luocheng. You go Tell them that I want to borrow the food in their hands, if they are willing, I will definitely reward you a lot afterward."
??Master Wei rolled his eyes, secretly thinking that Su Ying's calculation is really loud enough, and those merchants must know in their hearts that if the grain is taken out, will they still have to pay it back?
??But now he is not sure of Su Ying's identity, so he can only answer first and say that he will try his best to communicate with the merchants, but whether the food will be available is another matter.
??Su Ying didn't give him a guarantee, but asked him to send people out of the city to build tents to accommodate the victims.
?? Master Wei stepped back after responding.
??Zhou Qing also followed the butler to count the food in the mansion.
??Zhou Qing knew that there was food in the government house, but he didn't expect there to be so much, and he felt resentful. This Mr. Wei doesn't care about the life and death of the people at all because he eats food and drinks spicy food.
?? Zhou Qing left a small amount of food as a supply, and the rest was moved out. The victims had been hungry for so long, and they had to give out porridge as soon as possible, otherwise there would be a big problem if this continued.
After Lord Wei left, Su Ying asked the guards to let the merchants in the city know that as long as they are in the country and make contributions when the people need it, the country will definitely reward and reward them afterwards, such as benefits for the junior scientific examinations, Give family members to study in prestigious academies and the like.
??In this era, the status of merchants was not high. In the early days of Chu State, merchants, including their descendants, were not eligible to take the imperial examinations, which also caused the status of merchants to never be raised.
?? Later, an emperor proposed that anyone with both ability and political integrity could be tested, which gave merchants some hope, but even so, the status of merchants was still very low in the eyes of noble families.
Now that Su Ying has offered conditions that are conducive to the development of their descendants, I believe there will be many people who are willing to contribute at this time. She still needs someone surnamed Wei to do things for her, so she will not move the food hidden in the cave for the time being. Blame that bastard.
?? After Lord Wei left the main hall, he was not in a hurry to set up tents to treat the disaster victims, but immediately sent a letter to the capital, saying that someone pretending to be the empress empress prevented him from treating the disaster in Luocheng.
Originally, he wanted to hide the disaster, but Su Ying, the scapegoat, came to his door. He happened to blame her for the fire in the granary. For a person who dared to pretend to be the queen, the emperor would definitely be very angry and kill him directly. Well, when the time comes, he will come to a golden cicada to shed its shell, and all the food will be his!
??Thinking of this, Master Wei became elated.
??But in order to stabilize Su Ying, it seems that he still has to do something. After writing the letter to the capital, he will send people to set up tents outside the city to resettle the victims. When the time comes, the imperial court will be able to see it.
?? "My lord, do you want to tell those people about the food donation?" The merchants in the city are waiting to make a fortune when they really run out of food. Are they willing to let them donate food now?
