After rebirth, Her Royal Highness is a black lotus flower

Chapter 236 Absolutely Don't Bring a Mop Bottle

"Haha Qiu!"

who is talking about me again
Xie Lin rubbed his nose, turned over, "Xiao Zhenger, I'm thirsty."

On the table, Xue Zheng who was quietly reading the book heard the words, put down the book in his hand, and trotted to Xie Lin with tea.

Xie Lin drank three cups of tea, and then felt more comfortable. He handed the water cup back to Xue Zheng, turned over with peace of mind and prepared to continue sleeping.

Xue Zheng stretched out his hand and pushed him, "Aren't we going to find my sister?"

He didn't understand why he had been on his way for the past few days, but now he stopped.

Xie Lin waved his hand, "Hey boy, let my brother sleep for a while, when we wake up, we will pack up and go to the city."

Shen Qianzhao and the others don't know how their legs grow so fast.

Under Xue Zheng's repeated "persistence", Xie Lin had no choice but to carry a small oil bottle and continue on his way. When passing through He County, he finally stopped and prepared to spend the night here.

After entering He County, Xie Lin found that there seemed to be many more victims here than in other places.

I ordered a pot of wine, two side dishes, and two steamed buns.

Xie Lin grabbed the steamed bun and was about to take a bite when he heard three tall and thick men at the next table discussing the affairs of He County.

"I don't care! Master Yuan saved my old Sha's life. If the Heavenly King wants to kill Master Yuan, I will be the first to disagree!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, people will think you are going to jail if they hear you!"

"What's wrong with being louder! There are so many people in He County, who doesn't want to save Mr. Yuan. Is it just me who thinks so?"

Xie Lin looked around, only then did he realize that many people were hanging their heads, shaking their heads from time to time, as if they were worried about something.

"Guest officer, come, your wine."

The second child put down the jug and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xie Lin.

"Second Brother, do you dare to ask what happened in He County?" Xie Lin asked curiously.

Xiao Er shook his head, "It's okay, guest officer, take your time."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Lin stuffed some money into his palm, "Just tell me what's going on, I'm just curious, I don't understand what I just listen to, and I feel uncomfortable."

Xiao Er weighed the money in his hand, and then put away the money with a smile, "Actually, the county magistrate of our He County, Mr. Yuan, had an accident. Everyone, we all want to save the magistrate."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Xie Lin put down the steamed bun in his hand, picked up the jug, poured two small cups, and moved one cup in front of the little girl.

Xiao Er looked around and saw that the shopkeeper was not there, so he sat down boldly, picked up the wine glass, and drank the wine, "Actually, Mr. Yuan did a good thing. Since the disaster, the county has been dying every day. The people are all disaster victims from outside, and the price of rice in the county is so high, how can anyone afford it."

"Don't say that the victims who fled from the disaster can't afford it, even the people in He County can't afford it. Everyone is hungry, dying, and sick."

Xiao Er was talking, his eyes were red, but he didn't notice it, and continued to talk.

"A few months ago, the magistrate of the county suddenly opened a granary to release grain. Everyone, I am so happy that the court has come to save the people, but who knows, after a few days, a high-ranking official came and directly sent Mr. Yuan He was arrested and accused of committing some crime of resisting orders and not obeying orders, and now the county magistrate is still in jail."

"Originally it was said to be sent to Beijing for trial, but yesterday for some reason, it was suddenly said that Master Yuan's head would be beheaded by order!"

What Xiaoer said became more and more excited, "Master Yuan is a good official! How many people have been saved, how can he be killed!"

Xie Lin frowned, opened a warehouse to release food, but committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?
At this moment, Xiaoer saw the shopkeeper coming down from the stairs, so he stuffed two peanuts in his mouth and got up to go to work.

Xie Lin grabbed Xiaoer, "Brother Xiaoer, do you know which granary the county magistrate opened?"

Xiao Er frowned, thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with a reason, "I don't know, guest officer, you can ask someone else."

After a while, a voice rang out from the table next to it, it was the three men who were discussing just now.

"It's the granary for combat readiness."

Xie Lin was startled, turned his head to look, it was the person who called himself Lao Sha just now.

Lao Sha picked up the bowl on the table and drank it all in one gulp, "The county magistrate opened it, it's a granary for war preparations."

"If it weren't for those corrupt officials who are bastards who don't give food, and those unscrupulous merchants who raise the price of rice... Master Yuan is all for the common people!"

"That's right! These bastards don't have any good things!"

Xie Lin made everything smooth at once. He County took in a large number of disaster victims. The rice merchants in the county took the opportunity to drive up the price of rice, but the disaster food had not arrived. The county magistrate had no choice but to open a warehouse Grain, with his own life, in exchange for the lives of the people of He County.

Xue Zheng asked curiously, "Brother Xie Lin, what is a combat granary?"

Xie Lin: "It is the granary built by the local governments to store grain and prepare for war."

Xue Zheng seemed to understand, "Then why did the magistrate die when he opened a warehouse?"

Xie Lin looked down at Xue Zheng, "Why didn't I realize that you have so many problems before?"

Xue Zheng immediately buried his face in the bowl.

Xie Lin frowned slightly.

The granary for combat preparations was ordered to store grain. Without the imperial order, it was not allowed to open the warehouse. Once disobeying the imperial order, it would be a death penalty.

Logically speaking, if Lord Yuan wanted to open a warehouse, he would not be held responsible as long as he submitted a document to the governor, and then passed on the report to the envoy to act on behalf of the imperial court.

Why not?
Since he was supposed to be escorted back to Beijing for interrogation, why did he suddenly want to behead Master Yuan in He County?

All this is too unreasonable.

At night, seeing Xue Zheng sleeping soundly, Xie Lin got up on tiptoe, put on his boots and robe, and was ready to go out.

Suddenly, a confused child's voice came from behind, "Brother Xie Lin, where are you going?"

Xie Lin turned around and looked around, only to see Xue Zheng woke up at some point, sitting on the bed, rubbing a pair of big eyes similar to Shen Xiaozhao's and looking at him in confusion.

Xie Lin sighed heavily in his heart, and walked back, "Brother has some things to do, Xiao Zheng'er sleeps here first, don't go anywhere, remember?"

After a long time, Xue Zheng nodded his head.

After coaxing Xue Zheng to sleep, Xie Lin went out with his sword in his hand, thinking: If I am going to travel around the rivers and lakes in the future, my lord, I must not bring a oil bottle.

The night was like water, Xie Lin broke into the government office dungeon in the dark, he thought he was going to have a hard fight, but he didn't expect that the guards at the prison door were so drunk that they staggered around.

Xie Lin shook his head, he is really a group of wastes who are paid by the court but don't do their jobs wholeheartedly.

The dungeon was not big, and there were not many people in prison. After a while, Xie Lin found the Mr. Yuan who had been imprisoned according to the descriptions of the people in the daytime.
