Like Gong You, Li Zhixian had some misunderstandings about Pang Xiao's actions because of his notoriety outside.
But now that I heard such an explanation, and then heard that the Pang Xiao family and Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites were able to sell their property and donate them to the people in the disaster area to buy rice grains, and they also told them not to make public, Li Zhixian's eyes were hot with emotion.
People who are in the officialdom are not fools, and everyone has a steel scale in their hearts. Pang Xiao donated money, but he didn't make a sound, and he didn't mean to tell the world by beating gongs and drums.
Yang County was so close to the old capital, if Gong Zhifu didn't tell him, he wouldn't even know about it, let alone the emperor who was far away in the capital
Therefore, at this time, Pang Xiao was really simply doing things for the people in silence, not wanting to show merit, and was willing to hide behind the scenes and give silently.
This kind of approach is much better than some people who say that disaster relief is needed, but people are not coming, and there is no rice relief!
Who is willing to be so selfish and benefit others? The reason for the silent sacrifice is clear to everyone present.
Li Zhixian took a breath, and when he faced Pang Xiao and Qin Yining again, his expression became more solemn.
"Don't worry, my lord, I promise you that every penny of your money will be used on the edge of the knife, and try to ensure that more ordinary people will survive!"
Li Zhixian's voice was loud and thunderous. enough to express his determination.
Pang Xiao was infected by his emotions, and was quite moved for a while. He nodded and said, "I believe that if we work together, we will surely allow more people to survive."
Gong Zhifu and Li Zhixian's blood boiled, and they nodded their heads in unison: "Definitely!"
It was already dark, and everyone rested in the palace for the time being.
There were a lot of mosquitoes, and Pang Xiao was worried that Qin Yining would be bitten by poisonous mosquitoes again and had a fever.
In the early morning of the next day, Pang Xiao still looked refreshed, and others could not see the clue. After Qin Yining served him even more, he got up and accompanied Pang Xiao to patrol outside.
The disaster in Yangxian County was slightly lighter than in the old capital, perhaps because it was no longer the center of the Earth Dragon's turnaround, and because there were not many high-rise brick buildings, the number of casualties was much lower.
They patrolled the city and found a few large families as usual, the walls had been repaired, and even one family had raised the walls a bit.
In this way, it really means that there is no silver and three hundred taels here. It is not difficult to guess that there must be food in their house.
Gong magistrate asked Li magistrate: "Is the price of Ding's and Pei's food still the same?"
Li Zhixian nodded sadly, "Not only did he refuse to reduce the price, but he asked a few more times, and he even wanted to raise the price on the ground."
Gong Zhifu gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "These are rich and unkind thieves! They used to exploit the people like this in Dayan, and now they dare to eat the flesh and blood of the people!"
"I think they just want to talk to the official lion and make a fortune! If the government can't come up with the money, they have a reason to say that the sage is reluctant to feed the people!" Pang Xiao's low voice was full of Containing anger, it is not difficult to see his anger from the blue veins bursting out of his forehead.
"My lord's analysis is. These people are rich and unkind, and they don't deserve to be human at all. We should teach them a lesson!" Li Zhixian was young and had to be impulsive.
Pang Xiao was domineering and hearty. At this time, his thoughts coincided with Li Zhixian. Hearing the words, he said solemnly: "Don't worry, this king will go back and talk to them."
He conquered the battlefield, and if he was serious, he would be able to shock people with just a glance.
Seeing this, Li Zhixian and Gong Zhifu felt a little more certain in their hearts. As long as Pang Xiao was willing to do his best, he believed that the food problems of the common people could always be solved.
For a moment, the two of them had a feeling that they had the backbone after Pang Xiao arrived.
When Pang Xiao, Gong Zhifu and Li Zhixian took Lu Shiye and others to inspect, Qin Yining also took the people around him to go alone, looking around the city for possible signals from the Qingtian Alliance.
Since the sage said that the treasure may be in Yangxian, if the treasure was not swallowed by the silver-faced spies, the people of the Qingtian League would definitely handle it.
If the people of the Qingtian League completely betrayed her, and they don't care about the mad revenge of Qin Yining and Pang Xiao in the future, then it will be another matter, otherwise the Qingtian League will definitely contact her.
Qin Yining and his group acted separately, and finally found the hints left by the three Qingtian Alliance.
"Look, Madam, the codes of these positions are connected in series to let you go to the mountain to the north. It is the mountain we passed by when we came yesterday."
Qin Yining nodded and said, "Destroy all the signs, we just need to know in our hearts."
"Yes." Xiaoman immediately took the order and quietly destroyed all the signs.
Ji Yun and Bingtang whispered, "Madam, are you planning to go?"
Bingtang persuaded anxiously: "Madam's best not to go, they changed their minds temporarily, and they didn't tell you where they got their things, and now they suddenly appear, and they want to lead you to this kind of broken mountain road with worrying road conditions, They don't have any peace of mind at all!"
"Yes, ma'am, I also feel suspicious." Dahan also said, "You should be more careful and make a decision after discussing it with the master. Don't go alone and be fooled."
Qin Yining knew their good intentions, and she also felt that this matter was not something she could solve alone.
Therefore, after the inspection that day, Qin Yining returned to the mansion, and hid in the room with Pang Xiao and whispered.
Pang Xiao wrapped his arms around Qin Yining's waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and whispered in her ear, "Have you really found the mark?"
"Yes, but I didn't dare to go alone." Qin Yining also raised his head and whispered in his ear, "I don't think it's that simple."
"Fortunately, you didn't go. I got a secret report from the capital today. Didn't I leave someone with my father-in-law? This news was sent by my father-in-law's order."
Pang Xiao's voice was even lower, and the heat was sprayed on Qin Yining's ears, "The Sage has already come to Yang County in secret. Our actions are under surveillance. If we act rashly, I am afraid that the Sage will know sooner or later. Then we can't argue."
Qin Yining's body froze when he heard it, and he couldn't help but get scared.
Fortunately, she has now developed the habit of relying on Pang Xiao, and she likes to negotiate with Pang Xiao when she encounters a problem. The members of the Qingtian Alliance were also exposed, and even more so to the two families in the capital.
"Fortunately I didn't go." Qin Yining sighed.
"Yeah." Pang Xiao kissed her forehead and said, "From now on, let's just focus on disaster relief, don't worry about the treasures and their contact with the Qingtian Alliance, and don't show any clues in our actions, otherwise our family The family in Beijing is in danger."
Cold sweat broke out on Qin Yining's back, and nodded hurriedly.
