My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 616
Gently patted Fengxing's horse's back, and it found a place with plenty of rations to stay by itself.

With these friends leading the way, Liu Mingzhi, who entered the mountain col, swaggered without any worries.

There is no way, anyone who sees this scene will definitely scream, and it is not too late to take precautions at that time.

It seems that it is not much different from Liu Mingzhi's expectation. There are flat roads for about one or two miles into the mountain depression, not artificially built, but naturally formed roads, wide and flat.

"Help."

Liu Mingzhi stared closely at the col for a moment, there was really someone here, and more than one person.

"Lian'er, tell Xiaolong not to hurt anyone!"

Qinglian immediately took out her flute and played it, all the active poisons stopped for a while, automatically leaving a path.

"Husband, I didn't expect that there would be people here. Fortunately, I let them explore the way. Otherwise, if something happens, it will be troublesome!"

"Anyway, since you're here, let's meet, there should be something I want here!"

"Be careful!"

Liu Mingzhi nodded and supported Qinglian to walk inside. There was no way he was really frightened by these things.

Although he knew that with Qinglian around, he would be fine, but he just couldn't suppress the fear in his heart.

"Who's in there?"

Except for Liu Mingzhi's voice echoing in the valley, there was no response.

"If you don't talk anymore, these poisons will crawl to your place. If something happens, don't blame me for not reminding you?"

"Don't, don't, let's come out, come out immediately!"

As soon as Liu Mingzhi threatened to speak again, Liu Mingzhi realized that there was a Shandong hidden in the bushes on the left, and he looked closely at the exit of the cave: "Come out immediately!"

After a while, seven or eight figures came out slowly, Liu Mingzhi stared at them with surprise and heaved a sigh of relief: "It's you?"

"Your officer, Qiao Changjing."

"What a humble job, Zhao Qi"

"Meet the imperial envoy!"

"Why are you here and why did you leave the People's Court? Do you know how much time I spent looking for you? I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise."

Qiao Changjing's face turned pale and he thought for a while: "General Chang arranged us here!"

"General Chang, you mean Chang Yunfeng, Qingzhou's garrison general?"

"Exactly!"

"Where is Chang Yunfeng from?"

"The lower official doesn't know either. General Chang has not shown his face for more than ten days since the day your lord entered the city and arranged for the lower official here."

"Chang Yunfeng also told you about my identity?"

"Exactly. General Chang said that the young man who went to look for us that day was the imperial envoy Liu Mingzhi. He told us that as long as we wait here with peace of mind, you will find us here, my lord!"

Liu Mingzhi frowned and paced back and forth. He realized that he had become a spinning top, being played around by others. What secrets are hidden in Qingzhou City?

"Apart from these things Chang Yunfeng said?"

"General Chang said that as long as Mr. Liu can find this place, it means that you have discovered something wrong with Qingzhou, and asked the next official to hand over this burden to you. As for the other generals, he asked Mr. Liu to be more careful, and he will come to give it to him when he is done. My lord, please forgive me!"

"Where is the burden?"

Qiao Changjing took out a small bag from his bosom and handed it to Liu Mingzhi tremblingly: "My lord, please have a look!"

Liu Mingzhi opened the package without any hesitation, a letter and the Golden Dragon Emperor order he had given to Chang Yunfeng back then were stacked and sorted out well.

Liu Mingzhi, who was completely relieved, put away the Golden Dragon Emperor's Token, and gently opened the letter paper to read.

"Forgive me, my lord. There are ghosts in Qingzhou. It is a helpless move for me to do this. Since my lord can come to this valley, it means that I have seen the strangeness of Qingzhou Prefecture. I also don't know much about me. I am doing my best to investigate. Gu Shishi once told me that I must I'm going to take a look at his study, the humble Chang Yunfeng nodded!"

Putting away the letter, Liu Mingzhi frowned: "Where's the food brought by Chang Yunfeng?"

"My lord, I'm in the cave!"

"Take me there."

"Yes, sir, please come inside!"

Looking at the wide range of this cave, Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of the Creator. Inside the seemingly narrow entrance was a cave that was thousands of square meters wide. The inside was extremely dry, with a faint breeze, without any feeling of stuffiness.

"My lord, this is the food that Mr. Chang Yunfeng transported, totaling [-] shi. The lower officials have counted and there is no discrepancy with what General Chang said."

Liu Mingzhi looked at He Qi and stretched out his hand: "Give me your saber!"

"Yes!"

He Qi obediently handed over his saber without hesitation.

Liu Mingzhi stabbed the knife into the sack, and the white rice grains flowed out directly. He grabbed a handful of rice grains and put them in his mouth to chew twice. Why did Yunfeng transport these grains here without any concealment? It seems that he intends to tell me something?"

"Husband, do you think Chang Yunfeng knew that we were secretly watching, so he didn't hide it?"

"Eighty thousand shi, this is definitely not something that can be transported by fifty ox carts at once, that is to say, Chang Yunfeng has already transported grain here before, why would he do this!"

"Magistrate Qiao, didn't Chang Yufeng say anything besides these things?"

"Gone!"

Letting out a long breath, Liu Mingzhi looked at Qiao Changjing: "Now can you tell me why the county magistrate of your majestic county is hiding in Tibet like a bereaved dog?"

Qiao Changjing's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, and how many people also knelt down one after another: "The locust plague suddenly appeared, and the green hills surrounded me continued for ten days, and no grass grew. The people under the rule lacked food and clothing. Reported the situation of the disaster, but all the memorials were gone, and the remaining food was exhausted. The people ate rats and chaff, gnawed trees and roots, and couldn’t eat enough. Ordering to open warehouses to release grain without permission violates court regulations.”

"But the lower officials are not reconciled. The life and death of tens of thousands of people depend on the lower officials. It is obvious that the lower officials have repeatedly written letters and failed to respond. The Dudu Mansion actually wants the lower officials to violate the law and release grain without authorization. The lower officials will be imprisoned and punished. Asked to kill, how many people risked the crime of punishing the nine clans to rob the lower official from prison, and went to the capital to beat the Dengwen drum! The lower official knows that the crime is unforgivable, please send the emperor to punish the crime!"

He Qi hurriedly knelt and walked in front of Liu Mingzhi: "Master Imperial Envoy, as the saying goes, you must follow the law, are the court's laws really more important than the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people? If Mr. Qiao got a letter from the governor's office, why would you want to do it privately?" Opening warehouses to release food, dare to ask your lord what is the crime!"

"My lord, please forgive me, forgive Master Qiao's crime!"

Qinglian looked at Liu Mingzhi with red eyes: "Husband, please forgive Master Qiao!"

Liu Mingzhi sighed: "The imperial court strictly prohibits those who open warehouses to release grain privately by the imperial decree, and their family members will be exiled for three thousand miles. The government's stockpile of grain is the most important thing, which is related to the country. If officials will open warehouses to release grain privately, the country will The general will not be a country, and the county magistrate Qiao's move is respectable in love, virtuous in people, and inconsistent with the law!"

Qiao Changjing was taken aback for a moment, and smiled disappointedly: "Your Excellency is right, the action of the lower officials is indeed against the law. If everyone uses the lower officials as an example, the country will not be a country, and the lower officials Qingshan County Magistrate will be convicted. Please, my lord." Punishment!"
