Chapter 67 The right to kill first and then file
"Today, the government's porridge donation is over. You can go to other porridge sheds. There are porridge sheds set up by rich households."

After the official in charge of distributing porridge tapped the empty cauldron with a spoon, he spoke to the eager victims.

Hearing this, the rest of the victims who didn't receive the porridge showed disappointment on their faces. Some people beat their feet and chests, hating why they didn't come to line up earlier, while others took the broken bowl and took the first step to go The porridge sheds set up by the wealthy households rushed away.

"Listen up, everyone who wants to drink porridge. Our lord Wang is a bodhisattva, and he doesn't want to see the people suffer. Therefore, we set up a porridge shed here to help everyone." A man who looked like a housekeeper stood in front of the porridge shed, facing the surroundings. The disaster victims who gathered at their homes yelled loudly.

"Okay!" The steward's words drew a burst of admiration from the surrounding disaster victims.

"Do you all want porridge?" Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, the housekeeper raised his voice again.

"Think!" Everyone said, and some people wanted to rush to the big porridge pot and scoop up a spoonful for themselves. The porridge made by the rich family was much thicker than the porridge provided by the government, and it exuded a smell Crazy rice scent.

"Stop, stop, wait for a while! There is only one pot of porridge today, and it will be gone after eating." Seeing this, the housekeeper hurriedly asked the servants to stop him, and explained to everyone.

"Boil the porridge but don't let us eat it. Are you entertaining me?" Seeing the butler's attitude, there was a questioning voice from the crowd.

"Everyone misunderstood me. This porridge is indeed prepared for everyone. It's just that there is only so much porridge, and it will be gone after drinking it today. Do you want to drink this kind of porridge every day? I have a good one. I have an errand to introduce to everyone.”

"What's a good job?" Someone in the crowd was aroused by the butler's words.

"Our royal family currently owns more than [-] looms, and there is still a shortage of workers. As long as you press your fingerprints on this piece of paper, I will ensure that you can drink such thick porridge every day!"

"Really? You're not lying to us, are you?" Someone in the crowd questioned the butler's words.

"If you don't believe me, you can send someone up to try it." The butler said lightly, with the same smile on his face.

"You go, you go!"

The crowd pushed and shoved for a long time, but finally some brave ones came out and pressed their fingerprints on the piece of paper. The butler also fulfilled his promise and let these people drink the thick porridge in the pot to their heart's content.

The lingering aroma of rice almost drove people crazy. Seeing this, the crowd couldn't hold back any longer, and they rushed to press their handprints on the piece of paper, and joined the porridge drinking team.

Among the group of victims, there were also a few who could read and write. After skimming through the contents of the paper, they looked terrified and ran away quickly without even asking for a bowl.

……

After the government's porridge donation ended today, Ma Ningyuan and Gao Hanwen returned to the Governor's Mansion one after the other, and reported what happened today truthfully.

"I didn't expect the situation to be so serious. Fortunately, the disaster relief was timely, and only the people in two counties were affected. If the dam collapses completely, the nine counties under this jurisdiction and more than [-] people will all suffer! At that time, the situation will be irreversible. "Hu Zongxian sat at the head, and said happily after listening to the reports of Ma Ningyuan and Gao Hanwen.

"The government's disaster relief funds will be allocated soon, and the situation will be much better by then." After Hu Zongxian sighed, he added a sentence.

"My lord, Hai Rui, the new county magistrate of Chun'an, has arrived today." Zheng Michang who was at the side suddenly said.

"Why didn't I see him?" Hu Zongxian frowned, wondering.

"You're busy today. After checking with the officials, let him go back to the county office. There's still a lot of things waiting for him there."

"Well, that's fine, give him some time to straighten things out." Hu Zongxian said, picked up the teacup on the side, and took a sip.

"Is there anything else that needs to be reported? If not, let's stop here today!" Hu Zongxian scanned the crowd with his eyes, and then said in a deep voice.

"My lord, no more!"

"Me too."

"If not, let's go!"

"Yes."

In the hall, everyone else left, leaving only Ma Ningyuan alone.

"Teacher!" Ma Ningyuan said in a deep voice, his eyes full of guilt.

"Hey, come with me to the study." Hu Zongxian sighed and walked straight to the study.

……

In the study, Hu Zongxian sat on a chair and turned his gaze to his students.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Teacher, it's like this..."

After Ma Ningyuan hesitated for a moment, he chose to tell the whole story, including Zheng Michang, He Maocai and the others who invited him to the banquet, and what they said at the banquet, verbatim, and recounted it all to Hu Zongxian.

"You mean, it was Yan Ge's idea to let the dam be destroyed?" After listening to Ma Ningyuan's narration, Hu Zongxian figured out the ins and outs of all this after a little thought.

"Yes." Ma Ningyuan nodded without any excuse.

"So, you all know about this matter, and you only keep it from me, the governor of Zhejiang Province?" Hu Zongxian said, with a little anger in his tone.

"Teacher, they said that based on your nature, you would never agree to this matter! That's why..." Seeing the teacher was angry, Ma Ningyuan hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, you are confused! Do you think you can get away with this matter? You are responsible for other matters of the embankment. When the court finds it out, I'll see how you explain it."

"Teacher, the student knows that he can't break away from the relationship, so the student decides to fight alone!"

"Hmph, idiot! How could I have such a stupid student as you? You did this to keep Zheng Michang and He Maocai?"

"No, teacher, the students don't think so! You are the person promoted by Mr. Yan Ge, and those people take you as a strict party for granted, but you have repeatedly refused to act according to Mr. Yan Ge's wishes, so there are many People have criticized you quite a bit, and the students don't want you to end up in such a situation, just now..."

"Hey, go down! Later, record the inside story about the destruction of embankments and flooded fields that you said earlier, and give it to me."

After listening to his student's statement, Hu Zongxian waved his hands weakly with a dejected expression.

"teacher!"

"I'll tell you!"

"Yes."

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After Jiajing read the memorial that Hu Zongxian handed over later, he put it aside.

The content in it was that the disaster in Zhejiang had been brought under control, and the collapse of the dam only affected the people of two counties. In addition, Hu Zongxian had ordered people to control a group of people related to Li Xuan, who was in charge of the river. The memorial asked when the court would send people there.

"Lu Fang, go and write a note for me." Jiajing called softly.

"May I ask Your Majesty, what do you want the servant to return?" Lu Fang bowed to the ground immediately after hearing Jiajing's words.

"Give Hu Zongxian one back, and say that I have given him the right to kill first and then play! In addition, he will also be given the right to adjudicate the case."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will do it now." After listening to Jiajing's request, Lu Fang left quickly.
