Infinite Script Killing
Chapter 335 Disaster Area
What happened outside could make Qin Tianjian move so quickly? It only took half an hour for all the entourage to be ready to go out.
Foreman Zhou didn't know clearly and didn't want to find out.
Qin Tian Jian is too mysterious. It seems like a place for idle work on weekdays, but in history, whenever Qin Tian Jian was used, nothing was good.
The most important thing is that this job is not a thankless job. If I know something that I shouldn't know, I might drown in the latrine the next day because I didn't take off my pants when I went to the toilet.
So before setting off, the foreman called Xu Tong and the others over and told them one thing: "Don't pry, don't talk too much, don't look around. In short, from now on, they are just wooden people. They will do whatever they are told, with one more word." Don’t even ask.”
It's a pity that other people can hear these words, but Xu Tong, the young ancestor, doesn't care about this.
It was fine before departure, but after departure, I found that Li Xi was also in the accompanying team. I was very happy. He followed Li Xi on horseback, talking and laughing.
Foreman Zhou's face was extremely ugly, but he had no temper at all. He slapped his head and said, "Oh, I'm also dizzy. Why did I bring this little ancestor with me?"
But the team has already set off, and even the young master of the March family cannot turn back at this time.
It was useless for the foreman to regret in his heart. He thought to himself that not only would he have to serve Mr. Yang, but he would also have to serve such a living ancestor. He couldn't bear the responsibility for anything that happened to either of them.
We can only let people take care of him carefully and try not to let anything happen to Mr. Ma.
Li Xi was actually quite surprised. Seeing Mr. Ma's face full of excitement, he shook his head inwardly and thought to himself that this kind of young man behaved like this because he didn't know how high the sky was. If he knew that he was going to do this, he might have I don’t know if I would be so excited if I risked my life.
However, Li Xi thought about it and realized that this might not be a bad thing.
On the official road, fast horses are galloping, running like the wind and leaving no trace. Each horse is hung with two rolls of yellow talismans, which are magical talismans.
After leaving the capital gate, Deputy Supervisor Yang took out a thick stack and distributed it to them.
[Six Animals Divine Talisman] (cannot be taken away from the world of this script)
Active Skill 1: Divine Movement
Being tied to a mount can increase the mount's movement speed by 200% and make it tireless, but it will greatly shorten the mount's lifespan.
This item can only be used on mounts within the six domestic animals.
Cooling time: none
Duration: twelve hours
This is a good thing. It must be the handiwork of Qin Tianjian. It's a pity that I can't take it away, otherwise I will have to find a way to make a wave of it no matter what.
Even though Deputy Supervisor Yang looked very old and his eyes were dim, Xu Tong looked around with the help of his Life Eye Qimen and found that although this old guy was just an ordinary person, he had a talent behind him and turned into a heron. Protect behind you.
This is the official destiny of a sixth-grade official. Coupled with Deputy Supervisor Yang's own talents, generally evil and sneaky people would not dare to get close.
Moreover, he is a sixth-grade official with a low official rank, but because of his status as Qin Tianjian, he carries the emperor's orders wherever he goes. Even the local magistrates and governors do not dare to neglect him.
Of course, I won't neglect them. After all, they are here to do a task, and they are not the Anti-Corruption Bureau. If they don't check their attendance, and they don't review the administration, no one will offend them if they just serve me obediently.
After a day's walking, there were many mountains and ridges along the way. Although it was an official road, there were many thieves in the green forests around the remote location. Especially these days, life was getting harder and harder, and there were naturally more and more robbers.
If it were an ordinary businessman, he would rather travel by water than travel across mountains and rivers like this.
If you encounter any green forest bandits, even if you save your life, you will still have to be chopped into pieces.
Fortunately, their group moved very fast. Occasionally, there were a few thieves who wanted to stop them on the road. The foreman immediately showed his guy, with a bright big knife, and split the tree trunk as thick as a bowl into two pieces. The thieves knew it when they saw it. The idea stuck in his hand and he retracted his head again.
However, Xu Tong took one look at the foreman's opened tiger's mouth and thought that he might not be able to play with a knife again this month.
The group of people hurriedly drove for two days before arriving at Baoding City.
Master Yang declined the banquet hosted by the magistrate of Baoding Prefecture, changed horses at the inn, and continued on his way.
This could not help but make Foreman Zhou feel miserable. They were not masters of the imperial family, but ordinary Imperial Guardsmen. They were rushing so slowly that their thighs were almost torn.
I thought I could take a rest in Baoding, but I didn't even drink a sip of water and had to set off in a hurry. It was true that I was unhappy.
However, what surprised Foreman Zhou was that he thought that Mr. Ma would be unable to hold on for a long time. But when he looked back, he didn't look tired at all. He was much better than the rest of them. .
"Hey, after all, a tiger father has no dog son. It seems that this horse master is not so unbearable."
This discovery greatly improved Foreman Zhou's impression of Ma Hongwen. When he thought about it again, he was never late for work. It seemed that people in the capital were saying how exaggerated Mr. Ma was, but that may not be entirely true. After all, he had heard Hearing is false, seeing is believing.
But when they left Baoding and arrived in Shijiazhuang, they stopped complaining.
Victims kept appearing in their sights, and they knew there was a flood in Henan without asking. It was said that the Ministry of Household Affairs allocated money for disaster relief, but Mr. Yang knew very well that this money would not reach the victims at all, and even food would not be available. It is impossible to reach the mouths of disaster victims.
Because the funds allocated were too small, a mere 200,000 taels of silver, not even enough to make a splash.
Not to mention water control, food distribution, and feeding the mouths of the officials below.
Officials with some conscience can only try their best to save people, such as changing people's rations to bran, mixing soil and sand into the relief porridge, half a bowl of stick noodles and half a bowl of Guanyin steamed bread made from soil and noodles. As long as you can't kill someone by eating it, you dare to eat it.
But it’s still not enough, there are too many victims.
When the flood comes, thousands of miles of fertile land will be destroyed. After the disaster, there will be a great epidemic, and then there will be chaos, which will cause corpses to litter the fields and graves everywhere.
"Sir, it's getting dark and we are exhausted. Why don't we find a place to rest first."
Foreman Zhou looked at the sky, followed the car on horseback, and said to Yang Gongjing through the car window.
Yang Gongjing didn't want to delay. After all, there was a lot of stakes in Lianshan. Every delay would increase the risk, but he was indeed tired. Even if he was sitting in a carriage and bumping along the way, he would be tired at such an old age. It's really unbearable.
"Let's see if there is a village ahead. Let's stay in the village for one night and just say we are passing businessmen. Don't disturb the villagers."
As soon as Yang Gongjing said these words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Foreman Zhou led his people to find a village ahead and went to the home of the village chief and explained the situation. When the chief learned that they were businessmen, he couldn't help but raise his brows and rub his fingers.
Foreman Zhou was unambiguous and took out a piece of silver and handed it over, asking the headman to prepare food for them. Anyway, this money belongs to work and can still be reimbursed when I go back.
The headman weighed the money and grinned: "Okay, you guys can come over here. This is a big house, enough for you to live in."
Foreman Zhou saw that it was indeed a large mansion, so he nodded and led someone back to report to Yang Gongjing.
"Huh!"
As soon as the carriage and horses entered the village, Li Xi frowned.
Xu Tong glanced around and saw that almost every house in the village was hung with white lanterns and the doors were closed. However, Xu Tong was keenly aware that behind these doors, there seemed to be pairs of eyes looking at him. .
When everyone entered the yard, Yang Gongjing asked people to keep an eye on the carriages and horses. There were too many refugees now. Don't let these refugees eat the horses.
After a while, the chief came with food, a large iron pot with meat stewed to a pulp. When the lid was lifted, a strong smell of meat wafted out from the pot.
Leader Zhou and the others, who had not eaten anything in the past few days, were all stunned when they saw the meat. In addition to the pot of meat, there were also several large pancakes and a pot of old wine.
Xu Tong didn't say anything when he saw this. He just looked at Li Xi. Li Xi happened to be looking at him as well. The two looked at each other. No one said anything, but they seemed to have said everything.
Yang Gongjing walked out and took a look at the pot of meat, frowned, and seemed about to say something, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything. She just said: "You will be on guard duty tonight. In a disaster-stricken place, don't slack off." .”
After speaking, he waved to Xu Tong and threw him half a dry biscuit and a cloth bag from his sleeve: "This cloth bag contains insect repellent powder. Sprinkle it in the surrounding yards."
After saying nothing, he turned around and entered the door. As soon as the door was closed, he heard poetry starting to be recited inside.
"It is better for a husband and wife to die of hunger together every year. It is better for a concubine to go to the vegetable market. If the husband returns home with three thousand dollars, he can travel one mile with one wife."
Xu Tong and Li Xi were stunned when they heard this, and then looked at Team Leader Zhou and the others who could not wait to start eating meat. Their expressions froze, and their stomachs suddenly twitched.
"Master Ma, little father-in-law, come quickly."
When Team Leader Zhou saw that the two of them were not moving, he enthusiastically called them to come and eat: "Although the price is a bit different, it is a rare delicacy to have such delicious food in this place."
The corner of Li Xi's mouth twitched, and a sneer appeared on his face. He shook his head and said, "Our family believes in Buddhism and is a vegetarian."
Xu Tong even said with disdain on his face: "It's a wilderness, but there are no delicious food. It's okay not to eat it."
After saying that, Xu Tong walked out of the yard with the bag in his hand.
Li Xi followed closely behind, and when the two of them walked out of the door, they saw someone waiting in the distance and a few people standing in a circle, chatting about something not far away.
After seeing the two people coming out, they looked at each other and immediately left.
"Master Ma, this place is not a good place, so be careful tonight." Li Xi lowered his voice and said.
When Xu Tong heard this, he looked at Li Xi up and down and said with a smile, "Thank you, Eunuch Li, for reminding me."
Li Xi took out a meat pie from his sleeve and was about to give it to Xu Tong, but Xu Tong fumbled around in the cloth bag behind him and took out a chicken drumstick, put it to his mouth and started to chew it.
Looking at the chicken drumsticks in Xu Tong's hand, and then looking at the pancakes in his own hands, Li Xi suddenly felt that the pancakes were no longer fragrant...
