Chapter 499: The White-Headed Orion

Following

Situ Xing sat in the county office, and Jin Wansan stood beside him with a respectful face.

"Your Excellency!"

"Food prices in the city have come down. ”

"The people are all grateful for the kindness of the adults!"

Situ Xing glanced up, but there was no squeak.

"The Hu family, the Bai family, the Wang family and other local wealthy families, as well as the big grain numbers, have changed the price of grain to the usual price yesterday. ”

Jin Wansan got the signal and continued.

"After several days of continuous trial work, 350 cases have been rehabilitated, and more than 300 people have been acquitted. ”

"More than 50 people from the guilty local wealthy clans and scholars were detained... The people didn't applaud their hands, and they all said that the adults were in the world!"

Situ Xing gently flicked the teacup in front of him, a look that seemed to be a smile appeared on his face, and after a while, he asked with a smile:

"Don't just say nice things. ”

"Are there still many people cursing this official behind their backs!"

Jin Wansan's face couldn't help but stiffen, and there was a hint of hesitation and embarrassment in his eyes.

"Tell me!"

"No one is perfect!"

"If there is, it will be changed, and if there is none, it will be encouraged!"

Situ Xing turned his head to look at Jin Wansan in the direction of the teacup he was holding, and said with a smile.

"There are many people who say that the methods of adults are too vicious. ”

"He's a cool officer!"

"There are still many Confucian scholars who are very dissatisfied with adults. To think that adults have forgotten their origins is to forget their roots!"

"There are even people who are in tandem, planning to go to the court together and put the adults in sin!"

Jin Wansan glanced at Situ Xing cautiously, and saw that he was not really angry, so he said with some concern.

"Yes!"

Situ Xing nodded lightly, with a hint of glint in his eyes, and said with some disdain:

Such remarks were expected by the official. ”

"The local wealthy families, as well as the Confucian scholars, have lost their previous privileges, and they are inevitably unconvinced. ”

"They are all big rats, so don't worry. ”

"Although these Confucian scholars do not have official status, they also have the right to participate in politics, and if they collectively go to the book, it will really be a big trouble. ”

"It's better to plan ahead!"

Jin Wansan saw that what Situ said was an understatement, and he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, and hurriedly spoke.

"Huh!"

Situ Xing raised his head and looked at the sky, his eyes reflected a faint blue color, after a while, his complexion suddenly became solemn, and his eyes were even more evil, I don't know if it was an illusion, as if the air around him suddenly became a lot drier and colder:

"It's better to cry as a family than to cry all the way!"

"These wealthy clans, as well as the scholar clan, are all Shen Ke, it's okay not to move, if they dare to gather people to make trouble, then don't let the official say anything about it!"

"This!"

Jin Wansan looked at Si Tuxing with a dull face.

This is a plan to use force and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots!

He never thought that Situ would make such a plan.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

Maybe all of it is a bureau, a big, big, very big game.

This bureau is enough to fit all the wealthy families in Zhibei County, as well as Confucian students.

As Situ Xing said, it's just a matter of keeping to yourself, if you dare to move, you must take the opportunity to cut the grass!

Thinking of the possible consequences, Jin Wansan's eyes kept contracting, the muscles of his whole body were tense, and there was a trace of chill rising above the tail vertebrae, as if he fell into an ice cave.

Terrible!

It's terrible!

Such courage and generosity are really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

After a long while, Jin Wansan adjusted his emotions, and suddenly, he seemed to think of something, hesitated again and again, and still said stubbornly:

"Your Excellency!"

"This year has been a disaster. ”

"A lot of people didn't respond properly, and the fields were cut off. There is no harvest of pellets. ”

"Even if the adults stabilize the price of food, there are still many poor people who cannot afford to buy it. ”

"If the government doesn't deal with it in advance, I'm afraid many people won't be able to survive this year's winter... ”

Situ Xing's face couldn't help but stiffen, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

This year's disaster came very suddenly, not to mention the people, even the imperial court did not have much preparation.

Under such circumstances, many people will find it difficult to survive because of lack of food and clothing.

Especially now that winter is coming, it is no wonder that Jin Wansan's face is worried.

"What do you mean?"

Situ Xing did not answer immediately, but looked at Jin Wansan with an inquiring gaze.

When Jin Wansan heard Si Tuxing's inquiry, his eyes suddenly showed hesitation. His mouth was slightly open, obviously wanting to say something, but he didn't make a sound in the end.

"Yes!"

Situ Xing looked at his embarrassed expression, and his brows couldn't help but furrow secretly, a little unswerving.

"Adult, how many words do you know if you should say or not?"

Jin Wansan saw Situ Xing's brows furrowed, and his heart couldn't help but stagnate.

Since Situ Xing became the county magistrate of Zhibei County, his body has become more and more majestic, as if he has an indescribable tiger might.

Not to mention that he was angry, even if his face was flat, the officials and subordinates would be frightened.

Don't be angry and be self-assured!

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"There are only you and me today, out of your mouth and into my ears!"

Situ Xing glanced around, and saw that the servants and subordinates were not nearby, so he nodded heavily and said.

"Your Excellency!"

"There is a Changping warehouse in Zhibei County, which has a large amount of grain, is it possible to open a warehouse to release grain and help the people survive this cold winter?"

Jin Wansan saw that Situ Xing was listening, organized his language, and asked with a look of hope on his face.

"Closing Positions!"

There seems to be some kind of magic in these three words.

Or maybe it has an indescribable power.

When Jin Wansan took it out of his mouth.

Situ Xing's whole person was stunned. His eyes kept contracting, the muscles of his whole body tensed, and his heart set off an earth-shattering wave.

Changping is a large granary of the large cadres in various places.

There are not only mountains of food in it, but also a lot of money and food, mainly for disaster years or war needs.

Generally, only in the place of the state capital, there will be a large standing position.

Zhibei County was originally not qualified to establish a standing position.

Because of the special geographical location, and the fact that a large number of troops are stationed here, there is an exception.

However, in order to open a standing position, there must be a holy decree. Or maybe it's an edict!

Not to mention that the sentence is just a small county order, even the county guard does not dare to open it privately.

This is a felony!

Therefore, when he heard Jin Wansan's suggestion, he was subconsciously startled, and looked at him suspiciously with the rest of his eyes.

Could it be that Jin Wansan accepted the benefits of others and wanted to take the opportunity to harm himself?

But he immediately threw this thought out of his mind, how could it be? Jin Wansan was an old man who followed him at the end of his life, and he would definitely not be bought by others.

Moreover, such a pit is really a big joke in the world.

Who doesn't know the importance of closing positions on a regular basis? As a local magistrate, how can he recklessly open an official position just because of a word of advice from his subordinates?

"Usually close the position, open it without the edict, do you know the consequences?"

Situ Xing's face was gloomy, and he said a little sullenly.

Jin Wansan was silent, his face was full of regret, obviously he was also forced to have no choice, so he said this, and now thinking about the consequences, he was also afraid for a while.

Opening the official warehouse without permission is not a joke.

At the worst, he will be dismissed from his official position, and at worst, he will be convicted of disobedience.

"This matter, and let this official think about it... ”

"Don't be in a hurry!"

"Don't be in a hurry!"

Situ Xing stabilized his mind, as if to appease Jin Wansan, and as if he was talking to himself.

"No!"

Jin Wansan understood the worry in Situ Xing's heart, and couldn't help nodding heavily.

At this moment, the official of the county government ran into the back hall with a look of urgency.

"Report!"

"My lord, it's not good!"

"The people near Baishi Mountain are all gathered outside the hall, there are hundreds of people, and they all have to meet your lordship!"

Situ Xing suddenly raised his head, his eyes were full of surprise, and he asked a little blankly:

"Baektu Mountain!"

"What's wrong with the people of Baektu Mountain, why do you want to meet this official?"

"Could it be that something happened to Baektu Mountain?"

"Or is there someone who oppresses the people?"

Jin Wansan was also at a loss.

The mind spun rapidly, and one thought after another collided, so as to find some clues from the information obtained.

But he was doomed to disappointment!

In the end, he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly.

Situ Xing felt puzzled in his heart, but he hurriedly put on his official robe and quickly came to the lobby accompanied by the officials.

。。。。

Although he had been mentally prepared, when he arrived at the lobby, Situ Xing couldn't help but gasp, and hundreds of men, women, and children surrounded the entire lobby.

Everyone's face was weathered, apparently the result of the long journey.

Dressed in coarse cloth and holding a cane like a dragon, Zhao Liuye was surrounded by several juniors in the center, smoking a hookah, and when he saw Situ Xing wearing an official uniform, he hurriedly handed the hookah to others and stepped forward to salute.

"Uncle!"

"Why is that?"

Situ Xing glanced around, signaled that everyone didn't need to be polite, and asked in some surprise.

"Your Excellency. ”

"We are hunters at the foot of Mt. Baektu. ”

"Spend the whole day hunting and chopping wood. ”

"But the day before yesterday, the god of Baektu Mountain fell for some reason, and I couldn't wait for his protection, and I didn't dare to live in the deep mountains for fear of being poisoned by ghosts. That's when I came to the city, and I asked my lord to call the shots!"

Zhao Liuye was also a knowledgeable person outside the mountain when he was young, so he explained the matter clearly in a few words.

Situ Xing glanced around in some surprise.

He never thought that these people would be displaced because of the fall of Baektu Mountain, and they would have no family to return to.

The god of Mt. Baekdu?

Isn't it the tiger that killed him at the foot of his steps?

Thinking of this, Situ Xing's face couldn't help but show a wry smile. It turned out that the cause of the incident was still with me.

However, Situ did not regret his sentence.

"Uncle, take your time... ”

Situ Xing invited Zhao Liuye to sit down, and ordered his subordinates to bring fragrant tea, with a look of listening on his face. Said with a smile:
