Talking and laughing along the way came to Nanzhili. The closer to Nanzhili, the less laughter. I can't laugh anymore. The surrounding scenes make everyone feel as if they are back in the early Ming Dynasty when there were only a dozen households in Yangzhou. According to the report, the six prefectures of Yingtian, Suzhou, Songjiang, Fengyang, Sizhou, Huai’an, Yangzhou, and Chuzhou in Nanzhili were earthquakes, especially in Yangzhou. Yangzhou collapsed more than three hundred and eighty walls and more than twenty city shops. The walls of Yingtian shook, the spine and pillars of the roof all made noises, the walls of the walls collapsed, the earthquake made sounds in Gaochun, the houses were tilted, water overflowed, and the Jurong tiles fell and covered them. Changzhou, Zhenjiang, and Yangzhou sounded like a huge thunder, knocking down countless houses and crushing lives. Huai'an Mansion's lake is overturned by the house. The walls of Taizhou shook, and the rivers roared. The walls and houses in Changshu are shaken, and all walkers are servants. The floating map of the East Temple also toppled its top, and the ground inside and outside the city was cracked. Chongjiao Xingguo Temple, the top of the tower tilts. Wujiang, Zhenze, Jiading, Jiangdu, Tongzhou (now Nantong), Taixing, Wusongsuo, and Yixing, Changzhou Prefecture, all thunderous. Songjiangfu Huating, Shanghai, Nanhui Shouyu, Yishabao, Wuxi, Jingjiang, all the houses shake, Wujin bad houses and lakes all fly. Yingtianfu, Shangyuan, Jiangning, Liuhe, Wuxian, Jiangyin, Danyang, Jintan, Dantu, Liyang and Jiangxi all experienced earthquakes on the same day. The epicenter's intensity reached Grade 6, and the area affected by the disaster was very large. The number of people affected by the disaster reached millions, and hundreds of thousands of people suffered heavy losses. Up to now, the rescue has confirmed thousands of deaths and tens of thousands of injuries. There are not many deaths, but in this cold winter, the supply and transportation are not timely, and there are not a few people who died of freezing and starvation. In Yangzhou, because of the ineffective rescue efforts, there was even a conflict between officials and the people. Dozens of people were killed in the conflict, hundreds of people were injured, and hundreds of people were arrested before the riot was put to rest. But this is not a long-term solution. Now the entire Nanzhili government-civilian relationship is very tense, and conflicts are on the verge of breaking out. Originally Wei Ming thought he had taken a good job, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. If this matter is resolved, everything will be fine, and if it is not resolved, the matter will really be big.

"Weihou, now someone is coming to report. It is said that the Bailianjiao took advantage of Dilong's turn to agitate the people's heart, and there is a strong tendency to start a riot. We also ask Wei Hou Mingcha." Dongfang Xiaomo sent a person not only to be responsible for Wei Ming's safety. , Is also responsible for providing intelligence support to Wei Ming. Although Tianxia No.1 was established for a short time, although Sparrow is small and complete, it has now opened branches in various places. Wherever the branch opened, Dongfang Xiaomo's tentacles reached there. In this experiment, it also fully proved that the people of the rivers and lakes do have their own uniqueness in intelligence collection.

"Bai Lianjiao, huh, the grasshopper after autumn can still jump for a few days. After this incident, let's settle the account." Wei Ming's patience with Bai Lianjiao is really not much. Although the sea road going south is not very useful, the road going north is smooth and unimpeded. Wei Ming has given Bai Lianjiao a way to survive, and they want to beg Bai Lai's rebellion, so don't blame yourself. I gave you a limit of one boat a month ago. In the future, you don't want this boat either.

"What should I do now?" Qin Yuxin frowned and said. Dead bodies can now be seen on both sides of the road from time to time, seriously slowing everyone's journey. Regardless of this dead body, although the weather is still cold, it is uncertain when it will bring the plague. And they are all compatriots, and you can't just watch people die on the street and leave them alone! This made Qin Yuxin very entangled.

"Tangle about something. Li Zicheng, you take people to bury the corpse along the road behind you. You also gather all the people who can be called together and let them complain to self-help. The number of people sent by the court is simply not enough. Your ability in this area is unquestionable, I believe you. Also, send a letter to Fatty Wang and let him deploy the power that can be mobilized across the country to transfer supplies to the south of Zhili. No matter it is money, food, tents, food, and anything. As for. Expenses, let the household department come and go. Then let him go directly to the household department to get the money." Wei Ming said.

"We have been suppressed in business, and even now Fatty Wang wants to deliver the supplies." Qin Yuxin said with some worry.

"We don't have it ourselves, can't we still buy it? No matter how much they want, give it to them. Remember the shops that deliberately increased prices and the boss behind them. Wait until the matter is over and settle the accounts together. Give them a crime. Let them wave. Okay, let’s make a decision like this. As for what will happen later, let’s take a step by step. Yuxin, you immediately follow me to Yingtian. The situation is unstable, so come back now When an earthquake strikes, I think that not only the White Lotus Sect will move, but the others will also move." Wei Ming said with a gloomy face. The carriage stopped sitting, and originally wanted to leave Xiao Nuan and Ning Kechu behind with Li Zicheng and the others, but the two little girls were also staunch tempered, and followed Wei Ming to ride on the horse. Now that everyone had decided, Wei Ming didn't refuse, and first spurred his horse to kill Ying Tianfu. Wei Ming had some thoughts just now when he heard the spies come to report the white lotus cult's changes. Since it has basically been determined that the White Lotus Sect has a certain connection with the black hand behind the scenes, since the White Lotus Sect has moved, the one behind the scenes will move anyway. If he moves, the entire Ming Dynasty will move. Wei Ming now only hopes that the situation in Nanzhili can be resolved before the situation deteriorates completely. In this case, even if something happens again, we can concentrate on dealing with it, right? Otherwise, when the time comes, I think about both sides, but in the end I can't take care of both sides, and I'm led by the nose, that would be bad.

When he rushed into Yingtian Mansion, the first thing he felt was that Yingtian Mansion was shrouded in a cloud of haze, and even the two banks of the usually lively Qinhuai River were lifeless and lifeless at this time. This time, Yingtian Mansion was also affected, and houses under construction can be seen everywhere. However, the weather is cold and it is not easy to build it. Look at the hands of those bricklayers who have been building houses that have frozen and cracked. But what should I do if I don't cover it? There is not even a place to shelter from wind and rain. High-ranking officials and nobles can find a house to live in anyway, while ordinary people can only huddle in the street. Those high-ranking officials will never allow the people to enter their residences. The tall and sturdy mansion was originally a symbol of their status, and their unwillingness to work with mud legs was a kind of arrogance they had since childhood. This is true even when the natural disasters come.

"Where is Ying Tianfu Yin? Where did he die?" Wei Ming shouted with a sullen face, and naturally rushed out to ask. After a while, he came back and said that Ying Tianfu Yin was not far away. Wei Ming nodded and galloped over. Knowing that Wei Ming was coming, all officials from Nanzhili, large and small, rushed to Wei Ming.

In a short while, Wei Ming came to a construction site. The mud that had just been made up on the construction site had frozen stiff, and he had to pour hot water while building a fire. Even so, construction is still very slow. If this continues, people will freeze to death and cannot build.

"Where is Yingtianfu Yin!" Wei Hou scolded him. He was already muddy on the official uniform next to him. Even his face was muddy. From a distance, he looked like Yingtianfu Yin, and he couldn't be better than a beggar. How many.

"The next official is here. I don't know that Wei Hou came, and I have not welcomed him far away, so I ask Wei Hou to forgive him." Although Ying Tianfu Yin bowed to Wei Ming, he could tell from his tone that he didn't treat Wei Ming very much. cold.

"I don't know, I'm afraid I will disdain to welcome it!" Wei Yi stood up and said. Having been an eunuch for a lifetime, the concept of the master humiliating his officials to death has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the beginning, the emperor was his master. Now Wei Ming has given him a way to survive, so Wei Ming is his master. In his opinion, although Wei Ming hurried to Yingtianfu, as Yingtianfu Yin, he shouldn't even know this. This is an insult to Wei Ming. If it were replaced by the previous time with the emperor, this would be the crime of deceiving the emperor, and Wei Yi would stand up and discuss the crime. It's just that now with Wei Ming, it is naturally impossible to do that anymore. Even so, I want to teach this crazy student a lesson and let him remember.

"The people are guilty, why can the officials get away!" Ying Tianfu Yin did not lower his posture, but shouted angrily at Wei Yi. This made the high-ranking officials in Nanzhili who came here in a daze, this second dare to do anything!
