1562. Kill Xu Huiyuan
As an ordinary citizen, who would have thought of seeing the emperor casually?
If Zhao Dongting hadn't come with the Feilong Light Cavalry, these people would have thought that someone was pretending to be the emperor. Even if it was a serious crime to be beheaded.
"emperor!"
"Long live the emperor!"
Immediately afterwards, many people knelt down around him, and they were covered in darkness and the ground was covered with water.
There were only Bai Yuchan and Xuan Xue around Zhao Dongting.
He raised his hand and said, "Everyone please come up, this flood has caused you to suffer."
A simple sentence made the crowd cry faintly.
This cry is because many of these people are indeed homeless and sad in the miserable situation in this flood. The second is because the court spared no effort to help them and the victims, which made them feel infinite gratitude for the court. And this court is undoubtedly directly linked to Emperor Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting's mere words were enough to make these people feel grateful.
Zhao Dongting sighed softly, said nothing, and slowly walked towards the government office.
The streets were covered with dark kneeling and the people were mostly covered in embarrassment.
With the technology of this era, it is indeed too far-fetched to deal with such floods and disasters.
Even if Zhao Dongting tried his best, what the court could do in a short period of time was only to prevent these victims from starving to death.
Fortunately, the population of the Song Dynasty has not reached a terrifying level now, otherwise it would be unlikely to produce so much food.
By the time Zhao Dongting arrived at the government office, Zhao Da had already led the light cavalry to surround the government office.
As the most elite army of the Song Dynasty, the flag of the Feilong Army already had some symbolic significance. There were many people watching around.
Nowadays, as the imperial guards guarding the imperial city, there are few things that can alarm them. Everyone thinks that only something big happened.
"emperor!"
"emperor!"
With Zhao Dongting's arrival, screams rang out from the crowd, and then they all knelt down on the ground.
Zhao Dongting's expression was slightly calmer, and he raised his hand to let the people get up, dismounted and walked directly into the government office.
Zhao Da is inside.
He held the knife and put it on a man's neck.
The man was quite young and knelt on the ground. He was probably scared, his face was pale, and he was still trembling involuntarily.
Behind him, there were also people kneeling, and a few others stood.
"I'm going to see the emperor!"
Seeing Zhao Dongting coming in, he hurriedly fell to the ground.
Zhao Dongting raised his head and shouted, "Where is Ma Jianzhang, the governor of Hengzhou!"
No one answered at first in the crowd.
After more than ten seconds, a minor official said, "Go back to the emperor, the magistrate went to Leiyang County to inspect the disaster."
"Um……"
This finally calmed Zhao Dongting's mood a little, and he nodded slightly.
Then he looked at the young official under Zhao Dadao and said, "You are Xu Huiyuan?"
Xu Huiyuan was trembling and shocked, "Go back to the emperor, I am the one who is the one who is."
Zhao Dongting narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you know why I came to look for you?"
Xu Huiyuan's eyes changed a little, but he finally said, "I don't know."
Zhao Dongting said lightly: "You are so brave. You dare to create disaster-stricken households and use disaster relief silver to enrich your personal pockets. Who gave you the courage?"
Xu Huiyuan almost fell into a state of paralysis after hearing this.
He thought this was done quite secretly, and he never thought it would reach the emperor's ears, and even the emperor was alarmed.
"explain!"
Zhao Dongting's voice suddenly rose, "Who gave you the courage!"
Xu Huiyuan couldn't answer any more, and he just turned around and cried: "Dad! Save me! Save me!"
In fact, someone might not have been instructed by him. Only at this moment did he understand that it would be difficult for his head to be kept.
Xu Chenghua, an adjutant of the Hengzhou Finance Department who was kneeling behind him, was also trembling at this moment.
Looking at his son's panic in tears, he knew that he could not help but plead for it, but he still had to plead with mercy and kowtowed suddenly, "Please be kind to the emperor..."
My head hit the ground and made a thud, and it was really hard. Blood soon appeared on my forehead.
Zhao Dongting was not moved and said coldly: "Son is not the fault of the godfather. If your son does such a thing, you still have the face to beg me for kindness!"
The deputy officer of Hengzhou Finance Department is not a minor official, he is definitely a good candidate in the local area. But in front of Zhao Dongting, he obviously can't count anything.
Xu Chenghua didn't dare to say a word, but just kowtowed.
It is true that my parents in the world have poor hearts.
Judging from Xu Chenghua's appearance, he would probably knock himself out.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Dongting felt a little embarrassed.
With the Military Intelligence Department staring at him, he still knew how Xu Chenghua became an official. Xu Huiyuan's behavior was absurd, but Xu Chenghua was indeed a good official.
He also knew from Xuan Xue that Xu Huiyuan was not instructed by someone. He just asked a question and just wanted to defraud Xu Huiyuan. After all, the Military Intelligence Department cannot guarantee that everything is complete.
There have always been many smart people in this world, some are very smart, and some are small. Even if the MIIS can do it all, there are always people who can hide the truth from the truth.
But even though he couldn't bear it, Zhao Dongting did not want to spare Xu Huiyuan's idea.
Some things cannot be sympathetic.
Perhaps Xu Huiyuan didn't think that his actions were so bad, but because of his greed, some people might not be able to receive help.
Zhao Dongting slowly pulled out the Zhan Lu sword from his waist, glanced at the Hengzhou officials in front of him, and said, "Who dares to make a decision in the disaster relief silver, Xu Huiyuan will be the end!"
The sword light flashed past.
Xu Huiyuan's head fell to the ground.
At this moment, Xu Chenghua didn't know if he was dizzy or was too stimulating, but he fainted like this.
Zhao Dongting put away his sword and returned to the sheath, waved his hand and said, "Please carry Lord Xu down and let him retire and return home."
Although Xu Chenghua and Xu Huiyuan had nothing to do with this matter, Zhao Dongting still did not plan to continue to let him become an official.
Because he killed Xu Huiyuan with his own hands, even if Xu Chenghua is loyal, he will inevitably feel resentful. He doesn't want to kill Xu Huiyuan, and he will kill Xu Chenghua again in the future.
A soldier from the Feilong Army quickly lifted Xu Huiyuan's body and asked Xu Chenghua to carry it down.
Zhao Dongting turned his head and walked out of the government office and said to the people outside: "Whoever hears that an official is greedy for ink in the disaster relief bank can report it directly to the government office, and I will never tolerate it!"
Just now, a commoner outside the government office saw him wielding his sword to kill Xu Huiyuan. At this moment, he hurriedly lowered his head and shouted again.
Later, when Zhao Da gathered the Feilong Army, Zhao Dongting got on his horse again and headed towards Changsha City.
At this time, it was obviously late at night to rush back to Changsha City, but he still had no plans to stay in Hengzhou.
This can be said to be a responsibility.
There were Lechan, Yinger and the others waiting in the palace. If it were not for the forced matter, Zhao Dongting would not want to linger outside the palace now.
It’s a little bit of a pity that during the process of his arrival in Hengzhou, the girl in red dress did not come to Hengzhou again.
Otherwise, if she saw Zhao Dongting, she would definitely be able to recognize Zhao Dongting.
It's night again.
Liu Zhuwen led the light cavalry to only more than ten miles away from Jingzhao Mansion.
The scene was very chaotic.
Although there was no big battle, there were many small groups of Yuan troops constantly harassed them.
These Yuan troops came from various towns and counties around Jingzhao Prefecture.
After Bing Wenxuan, who was in Jingzhao Prefecture, learned that the Song State light cavalry was rushing to the Jingzhao Prefecture, he had already transferred his troops to the Jingzhao Prefecture.
The entire Jingzhao Prefecture is like a great enemy.
The fire at the top of the city was bright.
After learning about the approximate number of light cavalry led by Liu Zhuwen, Bing Wenxuan knew that it was unlikely that the soldiers outside the city would want to block the Song army, so he was naturally ready to block the Song army's pace in Jingzhao Prefecture.
At this moment, he stood on the top of the city.
Although he could not hear the gunshots for more than ten miles, the occasional cannon sound could vaguely reach here.
Bing Wenxuan's expression was not good-looking.
He never thought that the Song army could quietly bypass Lantian County and fight to Jingzhao Prefecture.
Scouts kept running up to the city to report the movement outside the city.
The small troops of the Yuan army did not cause too much obstacle to the light cavalry led by Liu Zhuwen.
I don’t know when the cannon sounded quietly and didn’t sound again for a long time.
Chapter completed!
