Return of the Swallow

The counsellors more or less had some opinions on Pang Xiao's decision.After all, no matter who it was, it was a treasure that was obtained with all effort. Even the princess took a warship out to sea, but in the end, she didn't spend any money on her own soldiers. No matter how she thought about it, she would feel terrified.

But everyone is sensible.The prince was so kind to the people, and everything he did was diametrically opposed to Li Qitian, and the two had a high moral character.Thinking about it this way, everyone felt that they didn't choose the wrong person. After all, no one would like to follow a master who treats human life like a grass.Even if such a person is in a big position, what can he do if he becomes a cabinet minister?

In this way, everyone had a decision in their hearts, and the meeting that they could not think of before could also be imagined.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Pang Xiao still smiled indifferently, but he was secretly relieved.The counsellors in front of him are the elites that Pang Xiao has taken seriously after working hard over the years.

Their identification is very important to Pang Xiao.

If he can’t get the support of people he trusts around him, he may be full of loopholes in his actions in the future, just like Tao Hanshan did not agree with his ideas and felt that Qin Yining was a woman who had interfered too much in the first thing before implementing it. Assassination, if there was no Sakurai, Qin Yining was afraid that he would be gone.

Pang Xiao absolutely didn't want to happen again.Such an accident happened at the beginning, which has explained his mistakes and incompetence. Now they seem to be walking on the blade. If he can't even control his internal worries, how can he remove the troubles?

After making up his mind, Pang Xiao discussed with everyone in a low voice, and finally decided to send two teams out, one team to the desert island, and quietly transport the treasure in batches and place them in different regions.The other team went to various places to investigate and found that there were wealthy merchants collecting grain, or someone who had made a fortune to sell grain, so they secretly wrote it down so that Pang Xiao could purchase grain in a targeted manner in the future.

The small island where the treasure is located is near Golden Port. It is not too much to transport a part of it first. Pang Xiao ordered someone to check if anyone in Golden Port had food in their hands. After the decision was made, Pang Xiao's mood was much better.

It's just that all of what he did must be done secretly, and he couldn't reveal the slightest details in the face of Chen Zhixian.

Seeing that every time Chen Zhixian saw him, he wanted to say something and stopped, scratching his ears anxiously, and not knowing what to do with him. After thinking about it, Pang Xiao wrote another paper, and ordered him to send to the capital quickly.

When Chen Zhixian saw Pang Xiao's resignation again, his heart was almost mixed.

The capital is not far from Golden Port, and there is no news in three or four days.In just a few days, the prince went to several papers that asked the holy to send food and relief, but the holy did not do anything.

Although Chen Zhixian is upright, he is not a fool.The attitude of the sage is totally different from the attitude that the emperor should have in Chen Zhixian's mind.The huge gap and the long-awaited materials are all eroding the patience and hope of this loyal minister.

"How many innocent people will starve to death in less than one day? Why doesn't the saint make arrangements!"

"Don't be anxious, the sage is also raising food and grass, must have already thought of a way, we still need to stick to it these days.

Pang Xiao didn't have time to shave his beard these past two days. She wore a blue cotton robe with arrow sleeves on her casually and a jade belt buckle on her waist. It was obvious that her whole person was reduced a lot.

Everyone eats gruel these days. Chen Zhixian will never give Pang Xiao and Qin Yining their food because of their noble identities. At first, Chen Zhixian’s cronies once persuaded Chen Zhixian to secretly ask Chen Zhixian to be good or bad. Give the princess some dried food and fish, and don't be too harsh on the nobles.

But Chen Zhixian's bullish temperament didn't listen to this at all.

It has been a long time to see people's hearts, the prince and the princess are not the kind of pampered nobles in their minds, they can eat gruel with them, and they can also go to the porridge shed to help.

Now Pang Xiao's image in Chen Zhixian's mind has been greatly changed.Therefore, Chen Zhixian was also extremely convinced by Pang Xiao's words.

"What the prince is saying is. No matter how the sage doesn't even allocate any food and grass."

But the facts proved that Chen Zhixian was still naive.

They waited for another three days, and the total waiting time was enough to transport food from the capital and then back.Li Qitian still didn't move at all, didn't say that there was no food and grass, and there was not even a reply.

Chen Zhixian only feels disheartened.

"The last bit of food in the city has been taken out, with dried fish in the sun, but it is just for the people to boil for one or two days." Chen Zhixian said, pouring a large bowl of warm water to resist the hunger in the house. "Lord, why hasn't news come from the sage? It's cold and there is no food, and the official is really afraid."

Golden Port is in the north, and now the weather at the end of October is full of autumn colors, but in a mature season like autumn, they have no harvest.

In the hopeful season, they are waiting to die hungry.

The person who should save them most did not say anything.

Pang Xiao also drank a bowl of warm water. Seeing that Chen Zhixian was so full of righteousness, and always seemed to be an official with inexhaustible strength, but now it was like a frosted eggplant, and could not help but feel sympathy.Such a good official manages an important hub town like Golden Port, and his seat is not good.

And such a responsible person, of course, cares most about the life and death of the people.It can be said that every death of ordinary people is a thorn in Chen Zhixian's heart. The more people die, the more bruised his heart is.Pang Xiao couldn't bear to watch such an upright person collapse.

After thinking about the replies received in the past few days, and after counting the days, Pang Xiao stood up suddenly and said, "Master Chen, why don't you go with this king?"

"Go? Where is the prince going?" Chen Zhixian didn't understand what Pang Xiao meant.body

Pang Xiao’s eyes are full of the domineering and unscrupulous attitudes of those who have been in high positions for a long time. He turned to look at Chen Zhixian and said: "I remember that there is a place called Minhui Village near Jingang. There lived a man with a wealthy family. Rich man? Someone outside of Liu Yuan?"

Mrs. Chen felt a throb in his heart when he heard the words, and stammered nervously: "Wang, prince, what are you asking about this? Don't think about it, your fame, don't be ruined by robbery of the rich and the poor!"

Robbing the rich and helping the poor?

"You can't be a bandit when you are the king? Can you still rush in and robbery?" Pan Xiao laughed with a chuckle.

Seeing Pang Xiao like this, Master Chen thought for a while, and felt that his statement was a bit stupid, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "No wonder the prince, he is straightforward and full of nonsense.

Pang Xiao waved his hand to interrupt Master Chen, and said with a smile: "Where does this king do to rob the rich and help the poor? The people are starving to death. I believe these rich rich men also want to contribute to the people, but It’s because there is no way out. Of course this king will visit, so as not to let the kind people want to donate food and don’t have a place to donate. Is that reasonable?"

Master Chen was taken aback when he heard this, and was almost astonished by Pang Xiao's statement.

Isn't this called "robbing the rich and helping the poor"?It’s just a more euphemism.

They were too late to wait for the relief supplies, and the sage refused to give them. As a prince, Pang Xiao was forced to think about such sideways.

Master Chen even had a disrespectful idea for a moment: Isn't the Holy Lord deliberately delaying the provision of food and grass, and forcing the prince to do such a thing, so as to take the opportunity to punish him?

As soon as the thought came up, Master Chen himself repeatedly shook his head to deny it.The prince of a kingdom is not so jealous of heroes, right?He doesn't even have the capacity to tolerate people. How can people have a good life in the future?

Seeing Master Chen's thoughts, Pang Xiao was stunned and couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head.This Master Chen is really one of the few such simple officials that Pang Xiao has seen over the years.

After making up his mind, Pang Xiaodang lowered his face and called Huzi in.

"Go, order a hundred guards from the palace, let's go to Minhui Village to visit Liu Yuanwai."

Huzi immediately responded, turned around and hurried to make arrangements.

Pang Xiao also strode out the door.

Chen Zhixian was stunned for a moment, and then he hurried to catch up with him, "Master, the next official will go with you."

Pang Xiao smiled and shook his head, patted Chen Zhixian on the shoulder and said: "No. Chen Zhixian still needs to sit in Golden Port. No matter what happens in the future, this king believes that as long as Master Chen is there, the people of Golden Port will survive. Hope."

What this said, it seemed that Pang Xiao was going to Longtan Tiger Den.

Master Chen said anxiously: "Master, this is not possible. The idea was discussed by us, but at the critical moment, you are only allowed to go out. Who are the officials? Don't worry, the sage blames them, and there are also officials. Take it with you. I will never let you go to the top of the tank."

Seeing Master Chen said this, Pang Xiao cherished this person with sincerity, and smiled and persuaded: "Master Chen, this king is a special envoy for disaster relief sent by the Holy Family. These things were originally intended for this king. You belong to the people of Jingang. Spiritual support. Golden Port must not be chaotic this time. So you and I should be divided into two ways."

"Master..." Master Chen was moved, his eyes were a little red.

Pang Xiao smiled and said: "Don't worry, your lord, it is the king who knows how to measure and will not harm innocent people. This time, the king will not use force, but it is for the sake of courtesy first."

In fact, the guards of the palace are all masters. An ordinary squire, how can an elite like Jinghuwei be able to resist?What Pang Xiao took was small but refined, and his momentum was enough to overwhelm anyone.I'm not even afraid of getting started.

Pang Xiao asked Qin Yining to go back and took Huzi and others to Huimin Village.

Qin Yining heard that Pang Xiao took people to Huimin Village, and couldn’t help sighing quietly: “I guessed that he would find a way to solve the famine. It’s just that going here is dangerous and it’s easy to be left behind. What a point."

Seeing that Qin Yining's brows were not stretched, Bingtang persuaded with a smile: "The princess relaxes, and the prince is cautious, there will be no difference."
