Chapter 489: A Family of Dandies Killed All the Civil and Military Officials in the Court (42)
Lessons from the past.
Those who reasoned and worked hard were dragged aside and never allowed to enter the city again.
The dissatisfied men at the back all became honest and took the initiative to walk to another fenced passage at the first diversion level.
Within an hour, all the old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children entered the city smoothly.
After entering the city, the first thing I did was to receive a thin shirt, a pack of medicine for reducing heat and clearing fire, and a bowl of white porridge.
Because the first batch of people entering the city were basically women and children, it was particularly easy to manage.
They were quiet and docile, and basically would not fight or riot due to hunger, so they were settled in a short time.
All that remains is for the men to enter the city.
The people in the back were noisily telling the people in front to hurry up, for fear that if they got in late, all the rice and noodles would be distributed and they would not be able to eat.
At this time, Magistrate Jin sighed and frowned as he saw the scene in front of him.
"Although they all came in safely, the food will always be exhausted, and we don't know when the court's disaster relief food will arrive."
Jin Shu said something from the side.
"Now the Jin family's food reserves are only enough to last for one month. Can the battle for the throne be ended in one month?"
"hope so."
Jin Shu smiled.
"Dad, even if the internal fighting is over, in their eyes, the more important thing is to eliminate political opponents. In short, these things come before the people.
Instead of thinking about disaster relief, it is better to find a way to survive. "
"Now there is no way to grow food in these fields. What else can be done?"
"Who said it can't be grown?"
The rice seeds planted by Jin Shu a month ago ushered in the second harvest.
This time she used all the grain as rice seeds again, and the amount of rice seeds was enough to plant all the land in He'an County.
It is worthy of being a divine seed left by the God of Ji. It has a short growth cycle, a high yield rate, and is extremely resistant to drought and disasters. Its root system extends several meters underground to explore the remaining water vapor.
Jin Shu could not plant all these seeds by herself.
Fortunately, she recruited a good farmer in advance to harvest all the grain in the field, and then spread it to all the land in He'an County for secondary sowing.
At first, no one believed that Jin Shu could succeed in growing rice on dry land. They all just thought she was joking.
As a result, when they actually saw the golden rice, everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.
If you can sow, it’s good; if you can sow, you can live.
Not long after, the final result of the battle for the throne came to the capital.
Zhang Shixuan looked solemn, and without saying a word, everyone knew what the result would be.
"Prince Li Yong ascended the throne, the third prince was killed, and I was dismissed from my official position. Your Majesty asked me to go to the capital to be punished."
Otherwise, he is a prisoner.
Wanted posters will be plastered all over the streets.
The former governor has become a wanted criminal now. No wonder Zhang Shixu looked defeated.
Of course, Magistrate Jin was not much better.
He and Zhang Shixu were grasshoppers on the same rope, living and dying together. Now that the third prince fell, he, like Zhang Shixu, was dismissed from his official position and went to Beijing to be punished.
The two of them looked at each other in silence and thought about it all night.
County Magistrate Jin: "Forget it, I'll take the initiative to go to Beijing. I can't let my wife, children, and children be implicated by me."
Chapter sequence: "I'll go with you."
So when the two of them packed up and prepared to go to Beijing the next day, they found that Jin Shu and Jin Shou'an were already waiting at the door.
Jin Shu: "Dad, Uncle Zhang, where are you two going?"
Magistrate Jin was still thinking about how to tell Jin Shu about this, but Zhang Shixu smiled.
"There is something going on in the court. His Majesty asked me and your father to return to the capital."
"Resurrection is a lie, arresting you is the real thing."
Magistrate Jin knew that he couldn't hide this matter, so he could only sigh.
"Dad also expected this outcome, so he left a way out for you. Today, you and your mother will set out from the back city gate and leave this place and don't come back again."
Magistrate Jin said with a determined look on his face, he was almost severing the father-daughter relationship with Jin Shu to ensure their safety.
Jin Shou'an suppressed his laughter, looked at Jin Shu, and said helplessly.
"Sister, just tell Uncle Zhang and the others the truth, otherwise they will really die."
"What do you mean?"
Jin Shouan finally breathed a sigh of relief after catching Jin Shu's look.
"Hey, I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but my sister never let me say it, because I was worried that things would change.
It can be said now.
You don't have to go to the capital to recover, that is to die, and Li Yong will not let you go.
As for you, just stay in He'an County with peace of mind. The terrain here is high and the city wall has just been reinforced. As long as you don't go out, the King of Heaven will not be able to touch a hair on your head. "
County Magistrate Jin looked at Jin Shou'an. If his heart hadn't been so heavy now, he would have really wished to give his son a loving big-eared melon seed.
Why are you still talking nonsense here!
"Dad, don't worry, no one in this city dares to touch you."
"There are the emperor's soldiers outside. As soon as the emperor gives the order, they will rush back into the city. How long can they hide? They will also hurt you when the time comes."
"Who said those soldiers outside are from the Li family? They are soldiers from our Jin family! They are eating the food of our Jin family and taking the salary given by our Jin family!
So what if the emperor comes? Let him give it a try and see who can beat whom! "
"You bastard!! I think you are in a dream and have lost your head! You can say such treacherous words!"
Jin Shouan sighed and frowned, looking at his own father with a look of pity and helplessness.
"Who stipulated that everyone in the world must listen to the Li family? Whoever has the bigger fist will keep his word!
No matter what happens today, I will not let you two go!
Uncle Zhang, you said that if you go, you will die anyway, so why don't you fight?"
Zhang Shixu was much calmer than County Magistrate Jin.
He looked at Jin Shu, walked up to her and asked with lowered eyes.
"A Shu, where did that batch of soldiers come from?"
Jin Shu raised her eyes and said calmly.
"My brother and I accidentally discovered the treasury of the former Daliang emperor in the mountains. There were countless silver and money in it. After we found it, we have been secretly using that money to raise the army privately.
Now we have no less than 50,000 soldiers under our command.
In today's chaotic world, 50,000 elite soldiers are enough to overthrow the Li family's kingdom."
Every word Jin Shu said was treasonous and rebellious.
But for some reason, after hearing her say that, I actually felt that it made some sense.
"How long have you been preparing for this?"
"Not long. Anyway, I will need Uncle Zhang's help in the future. If you want to help the world, then try another way."
Zhang Shixu looked at the young girl in front of him, and was silent for a long time. Then he slightly curled his lips and reached out to rub her hair.
"You, girl, have always had your own ideas since you were young. I'll listen to you."
