Chapter 223 If the Emperor doesn't kill me, I will (Additional 12, please subscribe)
Another half month has passed.

Although it still snows from time to time in Beijing.

It seems like the snow that didn't fall last winter has been made up this year.

But it took more than half a month.

The people of Shuntian Prefecture have also become accustomed to it.

However, the Shuntian Prefecture County Government and the Ministry of Revenue were in a state of panic because Zhou Yunyi, the Imperial Observatory, had clearly reported to the emperor early on that there would be a heavy snowstorm this year, but the court departments ignored it and did not make any preparations in advance.

The censors severely impeached these government offices.

Fortunately.

Although supplies were in short supply in some places, after the Changping Public Security Bureau received the news, the people of Changping spontaneously donated supplies, which were escorted by the Public Security Bureau's militia teams wearing armor, carrying powerful crossbows, long spears and short swords, and transported to various places.

It was also a small relief to the disaster-stricken people around before the imperial court provided relief.

And there are fully armed guards like the Changping Security Bureau.

The local government offices could only stand on the city walls and watch helplessly as the people of Changping distributed relief to the people under their jurisdiction in their own territory.

Even if they wanted to impeach the Changping Security Bureau for overstepping its authority, they had no reason to do so.

It was the people of Changping who distributed firewood, rice, oil, salt, and the most important necessities at that time, coal, and cotton-padded clothes and quilts.

As for the Changping Public Security Bureau?

It's just protecting our own people.

There are some rumors, which I don't know whether they are true or not.

One day, Xu Wei, Xu Wenqing, the chief of Changping Public Security Bureau, stood at the entrance of the village and scolded the militia team that was escorting the people to transport supplies.

Correct.

Xu Wei now holds an official position.

Although he is only the Secretary of the Public Security Department.

Although he was just a low-ranking official of the ninth rank.

But according to Xu Wei.

Smoke is coming out of his ancestral grave.

As for why Xu Sicheng scolded the militia team.

That was entirely what the guys in the militia brought upon themselves.

Such a cold winter.

These guys insisted on wearing armor. No matter who tried to persuade them, they would not listen. They insisted on wearing armor, carrying powerful crossbows, hanging long swords, and holding long spears.

He looked like he was going to the battlefield to fight the enemy, but he protected the people of Changping and distributed supplies to various places.

Xu Sicheng’s original words: Tell these bastards with their brains on their butts to freeze to death outside and don’t embarrass the Public Security Department!

The men of the militia just smiled foolishly.

Just say one sentence after finishing.

Xu Sicheng.

You don't understand me.

In the end, Xu Wei had no choice but to let it go, and then he cursed and asked the women working in the Public Security Bureau to prepare plenty of ginger soup.

Otherwise, those pretentious bastards would really freeze to death outside.

in this way.

The censors who helped impeach Shuntian Prefecture and the various ministries and offices of the imperial court began to praise Changping and the Changping Public Security Bureau.

Ever since.

At the suggestion of Cabinet Minister Yuan.

A Taoist priest from Xiyuan waved his hand.

The four characters of "protecting the country and maintaining peace".

It became the inscription on the archway to be built outside Changping.

A large archway with four pillars, three doors and two steps.

I heard that the emperor approved of carving dragons and painting phoenixes.

This incident caused a sensation in the whole Changping.

Those militiamen who had to wear armor and were fully armed in such a cold winter would beat them with big sticks every day after returning home, and would make sure their children would polish their armor to a shine and sharpen their swords.

Some things are afraid of comparison.

A comparison will make a decision.

As a result, wherever Yan Shaoting goes now, he will receive endless praise and good reputation.

As for a certain old guy.

It was as if he had been drinking all day, with a rosy face and a drunken look.

Her reputation for good parenting skills spread.

And the memorial that Hai Rui submitted at the beginning.

The destructive power it has caused has already had an impact in the imperial court.

The civil and military officials, who had already been severely criticized by the censors for the heavy snow this year, instantly became unhappy.

You bunch of censors are cursing people in the capital.

That Hai Rui was cursing people in the local area.

So, we are made of clay?
Ever since.

Civil and military officials began to come forward one after another. With a stroke of the pen, memorials impeaching Hai Rui poured into the Wanshou Palace in the Western Garden like a tide.

By the way.

This group of people also used sarcasm to accuse the censors in the capital.

It is because of people like you that a person like Hai Rui emerged.

then.

The censors in the capital, who should have been secretly scolded by Hai Rui, became even more unhappy and completely ignored the fact that Hai Rui had also scolded them.

with full force.

He and the civil and military officials engaged in an impeachment war.

It was just when everyone in the court was busy arguing.

The road from the capital to Miyun has also been opened up a little.

The news also began to spread in a small range.

“So many people died!”

Yan Shaoting went around various ministries and government offices today, and after gaining a lot of good reputation and praise, he returned home in a good mood.

But suddenly he heard shocking news from Lu Yi who came over.

His face suddenly darkened, and he slammed the piece of paper with the message in his hand heavily on the table.

His hands also became red and swollen instantly.

But Yan Shaoting ignored it at all.

Lu Yi's face was equally ugly, ashen, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"According to insufficient statistics, no less than 200 people have frozen to death."

"If they weren't worried about too many deaths, and if the idiot Miyun County Magistrate was afraid of losing his official hat, he used the county government's treasury silver to buy a batch of coal from Changping, I'm afraid even more people would have died, and we wouldn't have gotten the news so quickly."

Yan Shaoting's face was filled with anger and gloom, and the rage in his eyes was almost tangible.

His arms began to tremble slightly.

Not because of the pain in my hands.

It was because of the anger that was accumulating in my heart.

"More than two hundred lives!"

“It’s still not enough!”

"Why do the people have to suffer this disaster?"

Yan Shaoting gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words. He clenched his fists, turned his back to Lu Yi, and said in a deep voice: "You are the only one who knows the news? How did you know it?"

Although Lu Yi could only see Yan Shaoting's back at this moment, he could feel his brother-in-law's anger.

He frowned, somewhat worried that his brother-in-law might suddenly become furious and do something that would be inconsistent with the current situation and the Yan family's status and interests.

Lu Yi whispered, "We who were delivering coal were not allowed to enter from a distance, and their people were not allowed to talk to our people. But among our people, there were people from the Public Security Bureau's militia team, so they were careful and took the opportunity to take a detour when the guards were not strict, and found out... found out..."

"Just discovered something!"

"Make it clear!"

Yan Shaoting shouted angrily.

Lu Yi trembled all over.

This was the first time he saw his brother-in-law so angry.

Even before, when my brother-in-law encountered many obstacles in the court, he had never been so angry.

Lu Yi lowered his head and said quickly: "They are burning the corpses! There is blood all over the ground... After burning them, they dug a pit and buried them hastily..."

Yan Shaoting's eyes were shocked.

He turned around and stared at Lu Yi with eyes full of anger.

Lu Yi was a little scared by this look.

He was about to step forward, but instead took a step back, blocking the way to the door.

"Brother-in-law, calm down!"

"Don't act rashly at this time!"

"If you act rashly and cause trouble, it won't be the fault of Xu Fan and the Xu family, but of my brother-in-law."

Yan Shaoting stood there motionless, without moving.

He was angry.

But he didn't want to act rashly.

But the anger in my heart could not be calmed down no matter what.

He couldn't figure it out.

No matter how corrupt and unjust Xu Fan was, he should not have disregarded the lives of the people and done such a thing that took human lives lightly.

There was a moment of dizziness in front of my eyes.

After a while.

Yan Shaoting then said quietly, "Does old man Xu know about this?"

Lu Yi shook his head: "Xu Jie has been busy with Hai Rui's petition to the imperial court these days and has no time to care about other things. In addition, the road to Miyun has only been slightly unblocked in the past two days, and it is not completely unblocked. The Xu family has not sent anyone to Miyun, so I think he is not aware of it."

Yan Shaoting's eyelids paused.

Xu Jie was unaware of this.

Then, even if this matter was brought to the emperor's attention, it would not be a handle to overthrow Xu Jie. Even Xu Fan might not be able to convict him and chop off his head.

The stupid magistrate of Miyun who still knew to spend money to buy coal for heating.

It is very likely that he will be pushed out by the Xu family as a scapegoat after the incident is exposed.

Yan Shaoting's tone was gloomy.

"This time."

"Even if the emperor doesn't kill him!"

"I, Yan Shaoting, will also kill him!"

Lu Yi, who was standing in front of Yan Shaoting, couldn't help but shudder.

Although Xu Fan was the eldest son of the Second Assistant.

But this time, my brother-in-law is doomed to be killed.

For an instant.

Countless plans for killing moves took shape in Lu Yi's mind.

Yan Shaoting looked up at Lu Yi at this time, and his expression had completely returned to normal.

"Go to Lord Yuan's house, deliver a visiting card, and tell him I want to see him."

"And send the visiting card to the residence of Lord Gao."

"And the residence of the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate."

"To the residence of Minister of Personnel Guo Pu."

Lu Yi nodded and asked quietly: "Anything else?"

Yan Shaoting said, "Send a visiting card to the residences of the Minister of Works and the Minister of Revenue as well."

"Gone?"

Yan Shaoting shook his head: "Also, send a visiting card to the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion."

Lu Yi asked in a low voice: "Reason?"

"Let's say that the people of Changping miss the kindness of the officials of the imperial court, and we have some Changping specialties that are not yellow or white. We hope to send them to the officials' homes before the New Year comes."

Lu Yi nodded in response, and then asked: "Is that all?"

Yan Shaoting said: "Send someone to keep an eye on the Xu family and see what Xu Jie is doing."

Lu Yi's eyes narrowed.

"Xu family?"

……

"Rebel!"

"The rebellious son has misled me!"

"God has been cruel to my family, and I have given birth to a rebellious son!"

Xu Mansion.

After just dealing with all the officials who were enraged by Hai Rui's petition on state governance, he sent them away.

Xu Jie received a private message.

Then he shouted angrily in the study and almost vomited blood.

The staff and advisors rushed forward and hugged Xu Jie from behind, as he was about to fall backward due to his anger.

"master!"

"Master, your health is very important!"

However, at this moment, Xu Jie's face was pale, his eyes were tightly closed, and his cracked lips were bleeding continuously, but he was trembling all over and cursing angrily: "Rebellious son! Rebellious son... Rebellious son..."

then.

Xu Jie's eyes suddenly widened, and they were bloodshot and red.

"Unlucky family!"

"The crime of exterminating the whole family!"

"You traitor!"

After a roar with his head raised.

Xu Jie's whole body went limp and he collapsed into the arms of his aide.

The aide quickly turned around and looked outside the house.

"Somebody come!"

"Someone come quickly!"

"Go to the Imperial Hospital!"

"Ask the imperial physician to come and check the master's pulse!"

"quick!"
