Chapter 30 Cut to reality
Huoyu was still thinking that he was dazzled for a moment, and his master seemed to be smiling?
"You go, you don''t have to worry about this anymore."
Li Yan is a smart person. He knows how to hold this matter down and how to do it so as not to affect his future official voice.
Huoyu stood motionless in front of the desk.
Mu Zhao looked at him, "What else is there?"
Huoyu''s face suddenly collapsed, "Criminal, we found some traces of Xuanyin Sect a few days ago, and then led people to search near Qiongshan for several days, but we still had no chance to see Tianyin Master."
"This Xuanyin Sect disappeared from the world more than ten years ago, and now there is no trace of it."
"I finally heard some news, but I still found nothing."
Mu Zhao nodded with a look of indifference, "There is nothing to do about this. No one knows whether Tianyin Master exists in the world or not. You can do it without force."
Huoyu almost jumped up, "How can this go with the flow? Your injury is so delayed."
If you can force someone, even if you tie him up, you have to send him to the prince!
Huo Yu looked confused and distressed, "Don''t worry, my subordinates will take people to find him."
Mu Zhao waved his hand and knew that it would spare no effort to deal with the matter, whether it was Xuanping Hou’s Mansion or them.
Even if he repeatedly persuades him not to waste time, his father and mother will not listen. Should he send someone or search everywhere or search.
Forget it, let them go.
Mu Zhao wanted to take a shower and change his clothes, but suddenly remembered something, got up and called Changqing inside, and asked him, "Is there something wrong with Lord Lu later? I see that he looked bad when he returned."
Changqing nodded quickly, "Tonight I cooked hundreds of barrels of corn and bean porridge for the victims outside the city. It was a good thing. Lord Lu also went to supervise the work himself. Unexpectedly, Lord Lu discovered that there were many fine sand particles mixed in the rice porridge, and a big fire broke out on the spot."
Mu Zhao kept his eyes closed and said nothing.
Changqing continued, "Mr. Lu took a few workmanship questions, and only after asking questions did he know. It turned out that it was the command of the superior minister to deliberately get involved, and the reasons given were also very ridiculous. He said that he was worried that some civilians in the city who were in good condition would deliberately wear rags and line up to get porridge and grab the food for the disaster victims."
"Mr. Lu was so angry! He had a fight with that Changshi He in private. Think about it, a gentle and clear-headed young man pointed at Changshi He''s nose and scolded him. He was not responsible for being an official, and was willing to be a mediocre and lazy official in order to save time and effort. He was so embarrassed that he scolded Changshi He!"
Mu Zhao:…
It’s hard to imagine Lu Xiwen’s swearing.
He thought this man had never had a temper!
As he was talking, a light knock on the door came from outside, and Lu Qian''s voice came into the ears of the two.
"Huaizhi, are you asleep?"
Changqing silently glanced at his prince.
There is a feeling of being caught by the person involved behind the scenes.
Mu Zhao nodded slightly at him, and Changqing hurriedly walked over to open the door and bowed, "Please come in, I''ll make a pot of tea for you two."
Lu Qian looked depressed, and Mu Zhao only felt funny when he looked at him.
After Changqing brought the tea to leave the door, Mu Zhao personally poured him a cup and teased, "You have scolded He Changshi so much that you are so depressed that you are so depressed?"
Lu Qian sighed and looked up at him, "Did you know this happening early in the morning?"
Mu Zhao raised his eyebrows.
"I think you are not surprised at all. This kind of thing happened in the army before?" Mu Zhao held up his eyes and picked up the teacup, "Don''t say it''s some turf and sand, even if it''s a piece of soil and dead branches, you can chew it in."
"So do you think He Changshi''s move is correct?" Lu Qian narrowed his eyes, his eyes slightly sharp, "I asked the manager, and they have done this since the first day of distributing rice porridge. So this is not a matter of one or two days."
"What hungry people eat and drink these days are all porridge soup mixed with sand."
He stared at Mu Zhao for a long time, his hands couldn''t help but hold them tightly, and breathed a sigh of relief.
He should have known it long ago!
Who is Mu Huaizhi? That is someone who is praised by the saint and has the talent of the chief assistant.
What is there in Weizhou City that he doesn’t know?
He had known for a long time, but he just won’t say it!
"You tacitly abide by He Changshi''s actions, and you think he is right to do this!"
"Mu Huaizhi, do you see how miserable those hungry people are?"
"I know it when I see it, but we can only face the reality of many things." Mu Zhao sighed softly, "The fact is that we only have so much food on hand, but hungry people are coming endlessly. Not to mention rice porridge mixed with some sand, even if it is just earth and stone soup mixed with rice, you can drink it if you can survive."
When Mu Huaizhi said this, Lu Qian felt that his eyes were particularly cold and thin.
It was as if he was saying that even if there was a bowl of poison in front of him, he would cooperate with him to drink it as long as he could continue to live.
"Now we are building wooden sheds outside the city, and we have been arranging batches of people to go to nearby counties and villages to clear wasteland and plant trees."
"Even if winter wheat is planted quickly at this time, it will only have a harvest in the coming year."
"The court transferred down, three batches of them, totaling more than a thousand stone grains." Mu Zhao lowered his eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "Even if all the good people donated together in counties and villages near Weizhou City, it is far from enough."
"The hungry people are in a row. Can you ignore the ones behind if you take care of the front? Xiwen, have you ever thought about using these foods to exchange for medicine and some daily necessities?"
"The hungry people came to sleep in the open all the way, and they couldn''t ignore them even if they were sick, right?"
Lu Qian''s face was calm and he was slow for a moment before sighing deeply, "You are right. Your wisdom is beyond my reach. I just saw three steps in front of me, but you have already seen three hundred steps away."
"In the past few days, the number of deaths of hungry people has indeed increased. I... Huaizhi, you are in poor health and it is difficult to bother you with these trivial matters." Lu Qian was in a low mood.
Mu Zhao couldn''t help but chuckled, "It''s just a trivial matter. The main thing is to maintain good order inside and outside the city and not cause chaos."
"The last batch of grain will arrive in three days. I have discussed with the governor of Yu before, and I will invite the rich families in the city to gather together tomorrow. It would be more appropriate if I could raise more donations."
Lu Qian asked a little embarrassedly, "Then... do I want to apologize to He Changshi?"
Mu Zhao shook his head in a funny way, "No need, I''ll go and comfort him later."
Lu Qian felt that he had caused trouble for Prince Mu.
Taking a sip of tea, Lu Qian asked in a low voice, "Are we going to Changle Gambling tomorrow morning?"
"I''m going." Mu Zhao nodded, "I''m a little curious, I don''t know that Miss Yu might have found some clues when touching her bones."
Lu Qian didn''t say anything, and she was also extremely curious.
The two of them talked openly, but Lu Qian was not as depressed as he was when he came.
No words all night.
The next morning, the two of them used their breakfast and ordered people to get a cart. They rushed to Changle Gambling House and saw that the Yufu cart had arrived from afar.
