Chapter 387: The Crisis Comes

When Wei Sisi said this, it was not easy to say anything, at this time, Liu Li took out a fold and said to Wei Sisi: "Sisi, the grace of your academy, I always remember that I don't eat imperial food, and I am also worried about this, you take a look first, I will put it back at night." ”

Wei Sisi said thank you, and after opening the fold, he hurriedly looked at it, and after reading it, when he was about to say something, the servant outside replied: "Old lady, the master is back." ”

Liu Li asked Wei Sisi to leave here through the back door and go to deal with Liu Xiu by himself.

Wei Sisi returned to the academy, and the family gathered in the study again, and Wei Sisi told everyone about it.

Grandma thought for a while and said to everyone, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Mrs. Wei looked at her grandmother and said to Wei Sisi: "Sisi, you can see clearly, is it written on that Liu Xiu's recital that there are many fast horses in Haining City, and who raised these horses?" ”

Wei Sisi nodded, and said to everyone This is Liu Xiu's method, and now Haining City does not have such good horses except for their academy, even if it is a large family, there are only five or six horses every day.

"But recently, the flood has flooded, many people have paid taxes, and the family is not in charge, if we don't want to find a way to rob the grain depot at this time, then what should they do, just rely on Yu Ting's little relief grain?" Wei Yiyuan said angrily.

This time, Huishui burst the embankment, and two counties in Canghai Province were affected, and the number of people affected was 150,000, while the grain mobilized by the imperial court was only 30,000 stone.

This is still two months of disaster relief food, only 500 stone a day, that is, 60,000 catties, an average person a day less than half a catty.

And under this layer of restraint, there may not be such food. The people from the academy once went to see it, and the porridge boiled was basically clear soup, and it was rare to see a few grains of rice.

According to the county, this amount of relief grain will be used until the autumn harvest, so it must be saved. If, after two months, the imperial court is in trouble and cannot bring in food, then the victims will not only starve to death.

The county decree is a long-term plan that is only thought to be true, and the victims have long been scoffed at, but the county has threatened that if they make irresponsible remarks, then they will stop providing disaster relief to these victims.

The victims had no choice but to suffer in silence.

When the second sister-in-law heard this, she said to Wei Yiyuan: "Aunt Liu invited Sisi to discuss this matter. Now that it has reached this juncture, we can only grieve the victims first. If we don't stop, it will be difficult for us to provide disaster relief in the future. ”

The third sister-in-law also echoed and said: "Yes, let's stop for the time being, so we can give Liu Xiu a step down, and when Liu Xiu is transferred away, we will change to an incompetent person, and then we will continue." ”

Grandma didn't answer, but looked at Wei Sisi and said to Wei Sisi, "Little Si, what do you think?" ”

"Grandma, in the four mansions of the East China Sea, the ghost mansion used to be very powerful. But over the years, they and our college have been self-contained. In terms of action, manpower, and money, it is not implicated. ”

Everyone nodded, this is true. This is done because the academy is on the bright side, and the ghost house is in the dark. If the ghost mansion is found, you can run away at any time, but the academy can't.

"We talked to each other about etiquette and etiquette with the various halls, and we met people who asked us for help, whether it was civil, martial, hard, or soft. We've never said a word, but what if it was the other way around? ”

When Wei Sisi said this, his expression was a little sad and indignant, and he continued: "Now, Liu Xiu is wantonly encircling and suppressing the Ghost Mansion in Canghai Mansion, this east, west, the older generation of the Ghost Mansion was either killed by him, or disappeared without a trace. The younger generation doesn't have much friendship with our college. ”

Wei Sisi paused, looked around and said, "Once the imperial court mobilizes the army and thousands of troops and horses are blocked at the gate of the academy, how many people from the ghost mansion will come to help and come to fight the fire?" ”

Everyone is silent, this matter is really hard to say, now the situation is unclear, everyone in the ghost house has long been in danger, it's good not to cause trouble, how can you risk your life to save it.

"Princess Shuncheng also said that this kind of thing is a matter of competition, not for a while. At the beginning, Taifu also thought so, and after many years of recuperation, he had the scale of the ghost mansion for all these years. In addition to thinking about ourselves, we also have to think about others. Even if Liu Xiu is a villain, what about Liu Xin? He is in the capital, and if the matter is revealed, he will be the first to fall under Yu Ting's butcher's knife. ”

When Wei Yishang heard this, he said to Wei Sisi: "Sisi, you are right, we really don't need to worry about this matter. ”

Wei Si thought for a while and continued: "Aunt Liu also mentioned one thing, saying that someone in the academy released news, and some evidence was sent by the academy people. We can't help but be wary of this spy. ”

Wei Yiyuan nodded and said to Wei Sisi, "I will investigate this matter." ”

April passed, May was uneventful, and in a blink of an eye it was June.

In the yamen of the governor of Canghai Mansion, Liu Xiu walked in, and when he picked up the teacup and was about to drink tea, he suddenly put down the teacup and sighed.

Seeing this, Liu Li asked, "What's wrong with you, your lips are white." ”

Liu Xiu didn't answer, but after letting the servants around him go down, he said to Liu Li, "It's my younger brother." ”

"Ahh Your brother, what's wrong with your brother? ”

"Something happened to him."

Although Liu Li had known about this result for a long time, he didn't expect it to come so quickly, so he hurriedly asked, "So where are the others now?" ”

"Ran, ran without a trace. It's still clever for him, but ......" Liu Xiu couldn't help but sigh when he said this.

"Thankfully, a big rock has landed."

Liu Xiu said dissatisfiedly: "Thank you, he just left, he thought about us, he ran away, did we run away?" Just now, someone from the imperial court came and asked me for a long time. He is also going to detain me as an internal official and plot to commit illegal crimes. ”

Liu Xiu said this, and then continued: "It's good to say that I sent this person away." Now that I've set up my eyeliner in the yamen, if he doesn't come to harm my brother, then he will be considered interested. If he still comes to pull me into the water, then he will be in a trap. ”

"Ah Xiu, this, this, if you catch him, what will you do?"

"This time it's up to him to see if he can get the severed head back to life."

When Liu Li heard this, her heart was half cold, and she didn't hear clearly what Liu Xiu said later.

The next day, Liu Li followed the old method, holding incense and candles, bowing in three steps, and kowtowing in five steps, asking the gods to protect Liu Xin.

This incident naturally made passers-by watch and discuss.

"This is the old lady of the Governor."

"yes."

"I don't know what's going on?"

"I guess it's begging her son to be promoted."

"Hmph, what his son is doing in Hailan City all day long, does Gao Sheng still need to pray to God?"

"I heard what he's been collecting lately."

"It's Wei Xingyu's anthology, and it's the book of Mr. Konghe."

"Mr. Konghe is a famous Confucian in our Canghai Mansion, this dog...... What does the Doge want? ”

"I don't know, I heard that there are students' names on this book, and this surnamed Liu is according to the name above, but a lot of people have been arrested."

"No wonder his wife will come out to pray to God, these lack of virtue will be accepted by God sooner or later."

The people discussed this matter, and on the night of June 13, the governor's yamen suddenly caught fire, and the fire burned the yamen, as well as the collected papers.

Everyone said that this matter was blessed by God, but only Liu Xiu understood what was going on, so Liu Xiu ordered troops and went to Haining City in person.

When he arrived in Haining City, Liu Xiu also entered the academy through the back door.

Wei Sisi and the others didn't have time to catch up with Liu Xin, so they got the news that Liu Xiu came with soldiers.

Seeing that the matter was urgent, Liu Xin handed the box to Wei Sisi and said to Wei Sisi: "This is the secret box used by the sage, with this thing, the fourth lady should know how to talk to my brother." ”

Wei Sisi nodded and said to grandma: "Grandma this time, Liu Xiu is not so easy to deal with, this time burning books is the last time we go out, and Liu Xiu came here, it may be that he finally gave us a good look." This time, I was asked to help. ”

Grandma nodded, and then walked out with Wei Sisi, waiting until Liu Xiu came in and the two sides saluted. Liu Xiu said directly to the point: "Old lady, there are a lot of cases in this governor's backlog, so I have to get straight to the point, tell the truth." In the past, I regarded the old lady as my elder, but time has passed, and some things have changed, and I can only divide the border and do business. Then to the old lady, it will not be so polite to speak. ”

When Grandma saw Liu Xiu say this, she couldn't use the previous trick again, so she had to say truthfully: "Adults don't need to be polite, you are an official, I am a citizen, what you want to ask, the old body will answer." ”

"That one is called Cao Yin, can he have dealings with your mansion?"

"I've met a few times."

"What's the relationship with your house?"

"It's a friend, I don't know what happened to him?"

Liu Xiu arched his hand in the direction of the capital and said: "This Cao Yin is not only a person from the Ghost Mansion, but also a criminal who assassinated Emperor Wen, does the old lady know this?" ”

"Oh? Is it that his seemingly honest man would have committed such a great sin? ”

"This honest and responsible person has a vicious heart, and he also injured the marshal of Yuheng's marching army, and now the saint is angry, and he can't kill him unless he catches it."

"Really? How can the old body know that it is different from what the adults say, the old body knows that Cao Yin cured the Marshal of Yuheng's marching army, and how did he get into the mouth of the adults, but he was injured. Moreover, the Marshal of the Yuheng Marching Army, with thousands of troops and horses around him, how could this Cao Yin be injured by a common man. Could it be that Cao Yin still has the ability to be a swordsman? ”

Liu Xiu was speechless when asked, so she had to avoid the question, coughed, and then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
