Master Jin said: "No problem! Water can carry boats, but also overturn the boats. All wise and wise kings understand this truth. Today's wise and wise rulers are far better than the so-called wise rulers of all ages, and they are more considerate of the people. Therefore, disaster relief is the most concerned thing for the emperor. It has been very clear from the fact that the court allocates funds for disaster relief twice in a row."

"But now, the hungry people in the city have not been relieved, starving to death, freezing to death, and there are many people who have been robbing food. There are more and more signs of the emotions of the victims being out of control. If someone now provokes, confuses the public, and deliberately creates chaos, it is very likely to cause chaos or even riots."

Master Jin paused and continued: "From the information found by the guards just now, this sign is already very obvious. Once the Wuchang chaos or even the Huguang chaos, the consequences will be unimaginable. This is what the emperor most reluctant to see."

"If such a result that the emperor does not want to see, in the bad terms, as the commander and envoy of the Jinyiwei, he has the position of picketing officials. When he sees danger, he will stand by and watch. At that time, he may be blamed. In the good terms, if the adults turn the tide, stabilize the situation, and stop the riots in time at this critical moment, it will be a wonderful achievement and an infinite merit to benefit the people!"

Master Jin's words woke up the person in his dream. Yang Qiuchi nodded repeatedly and stood up suddenly: "That's it! Go to the Qianhuhu House of the Jinyiwei in Huguang, take the Jinyiwei to take over the prefect's office and release grain to provide disaster relief!"

Speaking of this last sentence, Yang Qiuchi's face suddenly became severe.

Song Yuner likes the most lively. Taking over the magistrate's yamen is the most fun. Besides, she can save so many ordinary people. She was so happy that she almost jumped up and urged Yang Qiuchi to set off. Then she realized that Yang Qiuchi looked wrong and asked in confusion: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"There is no food in the prefect's office!"

Ah? Everyone was shocked. Song Yuner asked anxiously: "No food? Brother, how do you know? What about the food?"

Yang Qiuchi said: "When we went to the burned granary in the Governor's Office to investigate, didn't you find it? There was no ashes of food in the ruins."

Song Yuner lowered her head and recalled. She didn't know what kind of ashes the food was burned, and said, "Maybe it was all burned by that fire?"

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "No, although the fire is big, it is impossible to burn so much food to ashes."

"Why?" Song Yuner asked.

"The grain in the granary is packed into bags, one by one, one by one, and there is a saying you have never heard of: Fire should be hollow, and people should be loyal. Only when there is an open space in the middle of the fire can the fire be ignited and burned large."

Song Yun'er had been to the granary in her father's yamen and knew the situation in the granary. She rushed to say, "I understand that the rice bags in the granary are piled up like hills, and the middle is not empty, so only the rice on the surface should be burned."

"Yes! The timber of the granary has not been burned out, and the food at the bottom should not be burned. To put it another way, even if the fire is too big and the burning time is too long, all the food is burned, but there will be a lot of ashes from the ground burned out, but we did not see a lot of food ashes at all. Therefore, there is no food in the granary of the Governor's Office!"

"Since the disaster relief food in the Governor's Grain Shop disappeared and someone deliberately set fire to destroy the evidence of crime, by the same token, the grain in the Governor's office may have been transferred out, and the granary of the Governor's office may also be burned and destroyed!"

Song Yuner said anxiously: "What should I do? If I can't find food, it will be useless even if I take over disaster relief affairs!"

Master Long said: "Sir, there is a lot of food for disaster relief. So much food needs to be transferred from the yamen. The goal is too big. It is possible to pretend to be transported into the yamen when it is transported. In fact, the food has been transported to another place. Otherwise, the place where the food is transferred should be not far from the official granary."

Yang Qiuchi pondered: "So, the food in the governor and the prefect's office are all somewhere. Finding these foods can comfort the hungry people and stabilize the overall situation!"

Song Yuner said: "But how do you know where the food has gone?"

Master Long said: "It is very likely to be in Mi Junwai's house! In the year of the disaster, Mi Junwai's house has new rice. If it weren't for him trafficking it from a long distance, it might be the disaster relief grain that was embezzled by public and private collusion!"

Speaking of this, Master Long thought about it, but he stopped talking. Finally, he mustered up the courage and said, "Sir, I have a suggestion that may be a bit risky, but it may be useful to resolve this crisis at the last moment."

Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed and said anxiously: "Mr. Long, please speak!"

"If there is no evidence or there is no time to verify that the rice official is related to this matter, if it is really not possible, you can first use the name of emergency disaster relief to forcibly collect the rice official's grain, first release grain to provide disaster relief, and then check whether he has any connection with the missing official grain case. If not, report to the Ming court and allocate grain to him for compensation."

Unexpectedly, Yang Qiuchi nodded happily and praised: "Gao! You two masters are really tall!"

It is a good idea to force the collection. Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, "Damn it, I, the commander and envoy of the Jinyiwei, collecting the rice from your Xiao Xiaomi Store and releasing grain to provide disaster relief, that's not a piece of cake! It's still a great deal to give you a lot of face, but you can't compensate you later. Yang Qiuchi has this move and feels very satisfied.

Seeing Yang Qiuchi was very happy, Master Long continued carefully: "However, this move has a great risk."

Yang Qiuchi was stunned and his heart hanged again: "What's wrong? What's the risk?"

"The Mi Junwai can sell new rice in the year of the disaster, which is probably not an idle merchant. Otherwise, how could the prefecture's office have never imagined the trick of collecting grain and relieving disasters? The reason why they did not collect the rice Junwai's land and grain was probably because the Mi family had a tough backstage. So, if they were not done well, they might cause trouble. Please weigh the pros and cons before making a decision."

Extension has existed since ancient times. In ancient times, the government's expropriation behavior was more arbitrary, but it also depends on the object of the expropriation. If it is collected by ordinary people, it will be collected, and even compensation will be exempted sometimes. However, for high-ranking officials and nobles, this is not that simple, and this is the same now.

This Mi Yuanwai obviously has a backstage, but he doesn't know who his backstage is and how big it is. If he forcibly collects his food for disaster relief and makes his backstage angry, even if it's okay now for the reason of disaster relief, he may be beaten to you, pulling his braids, putting his hats, and putting bags on him, and you will suffer some of them.

After hearing Master Long's words, Yang Qiuchi felt a little cold. The open and secret struggles in the officialdom are too complicated, and he will cause trouble if he is not careful. Of course, it is safest to leave. Now he leaves Wuchang City immediately, and he will not blame himself for any trouble in the future.

However, when thinking about the hungry people all over the city, the little girl Huier's parents and brother starved to death on the streets of Wuchang City, and the countless hungry people who sell their children, Yang Qiuchi couldn't bear to sit idly by. As for whether this case involves the rebellion of the rest of Jianwen's party, it is still secondary. What Yang Qiuchi is considering now is the life and death of tens of thousands of hungry people all over the city.

After walking a few steps back and forth, Yang Qiuchi made up his mind and decided to adopt Master Long's suggestion at the last time, and forcibly collect rice and wait for the grain to be opened for storage and release grain. As for what small shoes there are behind, he doesn't care about it now.

Yang Qiuchi waved his hand and said, "It's settled, go to the Jinyiwei Qianhu Office first!"

Yang Qiuchi's little black dog kept wandering around the house. Now that he saw Yang Qiuchi getting ready to go out, he jumped up happily.

Song Yuner said: "Brother, do you want to bring your little black dog?"

The little black dog seemed to know that they were talking about him, so he quickly ran up with his little tail shaking his tail and circled around Yang Qiuchi. Yang Qiuchi squatted down and touched the little black dog's head: "Tonight is not mainly about solving the case, but about disaster relief. Let's leave it here to accompany Mrs. Bai and the others."

Yang Qiuchi told Mrs. Bai that she had something to do when she was out and told them to stay at the post station. Then, she took Song Yuner, two masters, Nangong Xiong and other Jinyi Guards, and rode out of the post station. She found that the streets were full of hungry people were empty. Obviously, they all rushed to the prefect's office after hearing the news. Everyone felt the seriousness of the situation. Taking advantage of the night, they rushed straight to the Qianhu House of Jinyi Guards.

When he arrived at the door, Nangong Xiong showed his Beijing Jinyiwei waist sign to the doorman, saying that he would soon see the Qianhu Lord if there was an emergency military service.

After all, the Jinyiwei was different from the local government office. Knowing what the Jinyiwei from the capital said that there was an emergency military service, the doorman immediately led Yang Qiuchi and others to the living room, and immediately informed Lord Luo of Qianhuhu in Huguang.

Luo Qianhu heard that there was an emergency military service, and rushed out with two deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei. Yang Qiuchi took out his special envoy's waist sign from his arms. Luo Qianhu was shocked after seeing it and bowed: "I am in charge of the special envoy!" The other two deputy Qianhu also hurriedly bowed and bowed.

Yang Qiuchi asked, "How many Jinyiwei are there in our Qianhu Station?"

Luo Qianhu said: "There are more than 500 people, and the others were sent to the prefect's office to assist in maintaining order. Tonight the hungry people received news that the prefect wanted to release food, so they all ran to the prefect's office. Beizhi had investigated Tai Tai, but there was no preparation to release food tonight. It is estimated that someone was making trouble. Beizhi was starting to investigate this matter."

"I am here to investigate this matter tonight. I suspect that someone uses the hungry people to deliberately create chaos in an attempt to trigger a riot among the hungry people!"
