November, the 22nd. Snow, avoid hiking.
Qingshui city has now become the center of Tianshui county.
On the most prosperous street of Qingshui City, an ancient style building was completed only two or three weeks ago, but it was really crowded and lively.
At the gate, a gold-plated plaque is hung on it, which is the four big characters written by Chu Xingzhou, the former governor of Qingshui city and the deputy governor of Tianshui county.
Tianshui chamber of Commerce.
The disaster in Tianshui county has survived the most dangerous time. Now all the relief work is proceeding step by step. It can be predicted that no one will lose their lives due to famine this winter.
This work can be carried out smoothly, not only because of the efforts of the officials represented by Chu Xingzhou, but also by Tianshui chamber of Commerce.
The members of the chamber of commerce were the merchants assembled by Zhang Zhixian at the beginning. Up to now, more than 200 merchants have joined in, and their influence is all over the Tianshui county.
At this time, in the building, seven people are anxious, they are officially the seven leaders of Tianshui chamber of Commerce.
Bai Gui, the core of the seven leaders, was originally just a middle-class businessman. He was the first to follow Zhang Zhixian to curb grain prices because he was not angry with the actions of the clan leaders.
"Bai Lao, you are talking. Now Nearby, an old man in coarse cloth clothes said anxiously. He is Zhang Xing, who is in charge of the business of 17 cities in the south of Tianshui. He is more than 60 years old.
"The situation is not clear now. We can''t act rashly now."
Bai Gui hesitated for a moment.
"Not yet clear? Now, 73 City lords, large and small, have been removed and 23 city Lords have been demoted. Bai Lao, what are you waiting for? " A middle-aged speaker, he is the youngest of the seven leaders.
"Wait for Lord Chu." "Although there are so many people moving now, at least there is no movement from Lord Chu. As long as he''s okay, we can''t move. At present, the top priority is to take care of our own people and give orders. During this period, we should strictly monitor the warehouse and the specific matters related to disaster relief. "
"In the past, those who were greedy for small things and cheap things should be eliminated as soon as they were found out. In a critical period, we can''t tolerate half a silk error. "
Bai Gui''s tone was serious, and the others nodded.
Just as they were about to leave, a commotion filled the whole Tianshui chamber of Commerce.
The officers and soldiers stormed in and surrounded the newly completed building.
"What are you doing? Do you know where this is? " Bai Gui denounced.
A stout soldier in the lead of the officers and soldiers, with several ferocious scars on his exposed arm, can be seen as a fierce soldier who has been on the battlefield.
"Tianshui chamber of Commerce bribes officials, drives up prices, and takes them all."
The violent voice shocked everyone in a moment.
"You I want to see Lord Chu. You can''t do this... "
Bai Gui is in a great hurry.
"Ha ha ha ha! Chu Xingzhou, he himself is difficult to protect, you''d better think about yourself! During the natural disaster, not only you, but also your family will be robbed, investigated and punished, and taken down! "
"You can''t do this..."
"I want to see the Lord Chu, I want to see his Highness the king of Qin..."
The fierce soldier didn''t pay attention to it, but when he heard the four words of his royal highness of Qin, the corners of his mouth showed a faint coldness.
At the same time, in the Lord''s house.
Chu Xingzhou was so angry that his hands couldn''t help shaking.
"Chu Xingzhou, have you considered it clearly? Are you still waiting for your reply? You have such a big frame
In the main hall, a father-in-law is holding the orchid finger, carefully blowing the floating tea in the teacup.
Peng
"Are you not afraid of your Highness''s wrath when you act like this?"
Chu Xingzhou wanted to go up and kill the man in front of him at the moment, but he knew that even if he killed, it was useless. After all, the other side was just a small role.
"Your Majesty? Ha ha ha! Chu Xingzhou, in the face of the great situation, his majesty did not say anything. Do you think your master can save you? " "Oh! You Chu family is a first-class clan in Mingyu state! Your father is the imperial master of the dynasty, Lord Chu! I advise you, the king of Qin, this is against the public anger, don''t say you, which of your great teacher''s father, also dare not protect WOW! You just have to step back and not look bad when you get there
Half a day later, the acting governor of Tianshui County, Chu Xingzhou, was deposed and returned to Beijing to perform his duties.
The whole Tianshui County seems to change in a day.
Qingshuicheng prison.
The prison, which can hold hundreds of people, is now full of people.
Officials, businessmen, women and children, the elderly, everyone is crying for injustice, turning the originally silent prison into a hall for crying injustice.
In the innermost cell, Bai Gui and others are locked up with more than a dozen officials.
When he saw these people, Bai Gui was shocked.
These people are not unfamiliar to him. They are rare officials in Tianshui county. They are the blue sky in the people''s mouth!Now it''s like a stray dog left here.
"This What the hell is going on here! Ah... "
Some people can''t stand it. They just crash.
It made everyone sigh.
"Lord Wang, what''s going on here?" Bai Gui asked carefully.
Compared with the businessmen and the relatives involved, the expressions of the more than ten officials showed no panic and uneasiness. They all looked serious and seemed to be waiting for something.
"It''s Bai Lao! I''m very polite. " The speaker is Wang Quan''an, who is in charge of the disaster relief of Tianshui east 30 cities.
Wang Quanan got up to salute, and other officials also saluted one after another. Bai Gui and others were frightened and quickly returned the salute.
I don''t know why, this salute, a return, the whole prison is silent, seems to have reassurance in general.
"Tell us, my Lord! We are all at a loss now
"Yes! The officers and soldiers who arrested US said, "this time, even Lord Chu?"
Wang Quanan looked at the panic stricken people.
"This time, the key lies not in the Lord Chu, but in the capital."
"Don''t worry, your highness will not ignore us."
Unconsciously, Wang Quanan recalled that two days ago, when Chu Xingzhou called on them and told them about it, they were equally alarmed.
Now, seeing things happen as planned, his heart is much calmer.
"I don''t know how many people will die this time..."
It seems that in response to his question, the whole Tianshui County, with Qingshui city as the center, is spreading the fear of massacre.
"You can''t take these..."
"Are you officers and soldiers? You''re bandits, people Puff... "
"Please, leave some for us."
"What are you going to do? I don''t want to go with you. I want to see the Lord Qingtian... "
At one moment, the mansion was rich and powerful, but at the next it became a purgatory. Some people were unwilling to lose everything and asked for money but not their lives. Some women were directly dragged into their rooms by the soldiers who had taken over their families. Some fought to death and were killed on the spot.
One by one, benevolent and kind-hearted people put on shackles and dragged into the prison with a piece of hemp rope
