Chapter 598

Song Qing sighed helplessly: "You are the imperial envoy, and we are all your subordinates. You can tell me what to do. I will collapse sooner or later when I play with you people."

Liu Mingzhi rolled his eyes, you think I want to be dirty, isn't it because I was forced, I think I was also a young pioneer who was a moral, intellectual, physical, and beautiful worker back then, okay?

"It will be dark later, you should find a way to go out of the city with the seal of the imperial envoy and summon the imperial envoy guards to enter the city. Lian Er and I will go to the governor's mansion first to find out the news. The food that comes is transported to the disaster camp, let the people drink the thin porridge first, if the porridge is thick, there will not be enough food!"

"No problem, but what if the officials under the Qingzhou government want to meet you, the imperial envoy?"

"Push it, just find an excuse. Lian Er and I will find a way to continue to investigate some news, and try our best to make these moths in Qingzhou Prefecture speechless and plead guilty on the spot."

"Okay, be careful, if something goes wrong with you, the imperial envoy, we will all be implicated."

"Don't worry, let's not say that I am not a powerless scholar now, the snake of your brother and sister is enough for others to drink a pot!"

Song Qing didn't say much anymore, quietly retreated, and disappeared into the camp of the victims under the cover of night.

After Song Qing left, Liu Mingzhi went to Chang Yunfeng, who was comforting the victims: "General Chang, I have a presumptuous question that I would like to ask!"

The soldiers under Chang Yunfeng obediently gave way to Liu Mingzhi. They are not people who don't know what is good or bad. Although Liu Mingzhi only asked Chang Yunfeng just now, the grace of saving lives is greater than heaven. They thank Liu Mingzhi for his advice from the bottom of their hearts. Saved their general's life.

Chang Yunfeng looked around and nodded: "Brother, come with me, let's go to Chang's camp to talk."

"Okay, it's work."

"Yang Bo, take good care of the victims with the brothers, I will come with this brother whenever I go."

"General, don't worry, we are not the gang of executioners in the Governor's Mansion. We are all from poor families. Whoever doesn't understand whoever is."

Chang Yunfeng patted Yang Bo's shoulder and turned to look at Liu Mingzhi, indicating that the arrangements were made: "Brother, this way please."

Liu Mingzhi followed Chang Yunfeng to an ordinary tent and sat down.

The items placed in the tent are extremely simple, a simple bed, a dilapidated table and two chairs, on the table there is a coarse porcelain teapot and four large bowls of rubble, that's all.

"Brother, please sit down, Chang will pour you tea!"

"Thank you, General Chang is also a man of temperament!"

Liu Mingzhi took a look at the furnishings in the tent, at least on the surface Chang Yunfeng's life was quite simple and unpretentious.

"Well, it's a last resort. In the land of Qingzhou, there have been nine disasters in ten years. It's either drought or locust plague. The drought is better and the people don't have to live. Although the people's livelihood is a little bit more difficult, they can still have a meal. But when the locust plague comes, The harvest of the year has been completely wiped out, and now there are densely packed locusts outside the city!"

Liu Mingzhi was overjoyed: "General Chang, did you mean that it's autumn and there are still locusts outside?"

"Yes! Dingzhou Prefecture has also been affected, and I don't know what's going on."

"Please drink tea, a bowl of rough tea, thank you for saving your life, no respect."

Liu Mingzhi, who was about to receive Wan, saw Chang Yunfeng suddenly staring at him in a daze, it should be said that he looked at his feet, looked down and said in a daze.

It's really a secret, it's too late to pray that Chang Yunfeng doesn't know his shoes.

With a clang, the porcelain bowl rolled to the ground, and Chang Yunfeng knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Mingzhi: "Chang Yunfeng, the guerrilla general of Qingzhou City under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Prefecture, sees your lord."

Liu Mingzhi looked down at the cloud pattern chiseled golden boots on his feet embroidered with gold thread into auspicious clouds, and gave a wry smile. It was true that Baimi was a little careless. He discovered He Qi's identity with the cloud pattern fast boots, but forgot himself. I only borrowed clothes from the owner of the inn, but did not change my boots.

After all, it was just that he didn't expect to deal with Chang Yunfeng.

"You know my boots?"

"Returning to my lord, the boots on my lord's feet are made of gold silk brocade auspicious clouds, and the boots with chiseled gold buckles are the cloud pattern chiseled golden boots worn by the third-rank officials of this dynasty. Only officials in the capital have this uniform. Officials from various states can only Wearing official boots with brocade and cloud patterns, you will never dare to use gold thread, nor will you embroider them into auspicious clouds. I don’t know that my lord is coming, and my humble position is far away, my lord, please forgive me!"

"You know quite well, forgive your innocence, get up!"

"Thank you sir!"

"sit down!"

At this time, Liu Mingzhi actually had the intention of turning against customers.

"No, no, my lord, please take a seat!"

Liu Mingzhi was stunned: "It's fine, I'm fine sitting here, you don't have to mind, General Chang just now is not in such a submissive manner!"

"Humble and rude, please forgive me, my lord!"

"If you are told to sit, you can sit, this is an order!"

"Yes!"

Dalong's official rank is ninth rank and eighteenth rank. Chang Yunfeng is an official under fifth rank but he is six or seven ranks behind third rank.

If it wasn't for Liu Mingzhi's compulsory order, even if Chang Yunfeng was killed, he wouldn't dare to sit in Liu Mingzhi's position. At the same time, Chang Yunfeng was faintly excited.

He knew that the lord in front of him admired him a little. A third-rank Beijing official was more powerful than his Qingzhou governor. Although they were all third-rank officials, how could a governor in a remote place compare with the third-rank officials in the second class? One is in the sky and the other is in the ground.

Chang Yunfeng is upright and honest, but it doesn't mean that he is a fool. It is not an exaggeration to say that a word from the person in front of him can stand up to his ten years of struggle.

Liu Mingzhi lifted the teapot and was about to pour tea. Chang Yunfeng hurriedly stopped him: "Come here, come here!"

After taking a sip of herbal tea, Liu Mingzhi looked at Chang Yunfeng: "What size shoes do you wear?"

"what?"

"I asked you what size shoes do you wear?"

"Eight and a half inches!"

"Eight and a half inches, about the same size. Bring me a pair of your shoes. I will wear a pair of ordinary shoes when I meet the governor later so as not to reveal my identity. General Chang, what do you say?"

Chang Yunfeng was stunned for a moment and immediately understood: "Yes, yes, sir, just call me humble Yunfeng, please don't worry, my lord will not let you know your arrival!"

"You just said that the rice grains for cooking porridge are your own food, Gu Zhiheng, the governor of Qingzhou?"

"Yes, my lord doesn't know. Master Gu also wants to open a warehouse to release food for disaster relief, but without the emperor's decree, Master Gu dare not open a warehouse privately. He can only find some rich people with sufficient food to raise some donations. This is a drop in the bucket. [-]% will be taken away by the people of the Dudu Mansion!"

"Didn't you just say that the food in the treasury was transported to northern Xinjiang for business?"

"Returning to my lord, the humble job is only heard! But it should be like this in all likelihood, but it will not leave no food!"

"You mean the governor of Qingzhou is a good official?"

"This humble job thinks so, please learn from me!"

"Well, do all the Qingzhou government soldiers follow your command?"

"Back to my lord, I can only command half of the soldiers and horses in humble positions, and the other half can only be mobilized with the command talisman of Sima of Qingzhou!"

"Well, there are advantages and disadvantages. Generally speaking, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Once the war comes, how can we have so much time to discuss things, but there is nothing we can do about it!"

Chang Yunfeng didn't dare to answer, Liu Mingzhi dared to say these things, Chang Yunfeng didn't dare to say.

"Chang Yunfeng!"

"I am humble!"
