Chapter 142: Debate in Prison: It Concerns the Future of the People of Shaanxi! (2)



Cui Xian was thrown into the Mengjin County Prison without knowing why.

Yan Siyuan and a bunch of his black fans are also in jail.

Judging from their expressions, they were not afraid of being caught at all. Instead, they were very excited and excited.

Especially when Cui Xian walked into the prison.

Yan Siyuan walked over.

More black fans came over.

"Brother Jia Shao!"

"Brother Jia, because of your calligraphy, thousands of people were able to survive!"

"With you here, our anti-Xian alliance will surely become famous all over the world!"

They looked fanatical and their eyes were full of pride.

Cui Xian: “……?”

No, what are you burning?

Who would be willing to be flattered by a bunch of black fans in prison?

Despite all my precautions, I was still dragged down by you bunch of black fans.

Thinking of this, Cui Xian took a deep breath and asked, "So can you tell me what exactly you did?"

He actually let the Mengjin County Magistrate arrest you directly.

When everyone heard this, they looked even more proud, as if they were saying, "If you knew about this, you would definitely praise us."

Yan Siyuan did not answer, but chose to keep it a secret.

He laughed and asked, "Brother Jia Shao, if there are dozens of refugees from Shaanxi gathering outside Mengjin City, if you were Cui Xian, what would your response strategy be?"

Cui Xian heard this and said thoughtfully: "I will write a couplet for the magistrate of Mengjin County."

The cell fell into silence.

Then, Yan Siyuan and a bunch of black fans laughed wildly.

"Every one of us has answered this question. Only Brother Jia Shao gave the best answer. He must be the one among us who hates Cui Xian the most!"

"The Zheng party and the former Chen party have been fighting each other, causing trouble for the Daliang court. Cui Xian was the so-called genius prodigy who was pushed out by the Zheng party to flatter Your Majesty."

"I, Daliang, would rather not have such a child prodigy!"

"What's the use of a child prodigy who can only play politics and talk about war on paper? Brother Jia Shao is right. When faced with such a major event that concerns the survival of the people, Cui Xian will probably only be able to write couplets!"

"Shaanxi is suffering from a severe drought, and Zheng's party has done nothing. They are even planning to promote Cui Xian and hold a debate in Kaifeng. This is really despicable!"

After hearing these words, Cui Xian roughly understood why this group of people became his black fans.

But the problem is——

If refugees gathered in Mengjin, apart from writing couplets to hint at the Mengjin County Magistrate, was there any other way to break the impasse?

Cui Xian looked at Yan Siyuan and wondered, "Is writing couplets funny? You can't choose to do disaster relief, right?"

"Since a small number of refugees have come to Mengjin, it means there will be more refugees on the way. Once Mengjin rashly provides disaster relief, it will attract tens of thousands of refugees."

"By then, there will be endless incidents of people gathering to cause trouble, the spread of diseases, rising food prices, etc., which will make the people of Mengjin County panic."

"Mengjin is a small county, how can there be so much food relief? Even if the refugees are so hungry that they mutinied and attacked the city to steal food, how can we solve the problem?"

These words caused the entire cell to fall into deathly silence.

Yan Siyuan's face was stiff.

The expressions of the other black fans suddenly turned pale.

It turned out that it only took a moment for him to go from laughing triumphantly to feeling grief-stricken.

Because Jia Shao was right about everything!

Now the refugees outside Mengjin City seem to be on the verge of getting out of control.

Yan Siyuan and others naively believed that the problem could be solved if the Mengjin County magistrate agreed to open the granaries to distribute grain.

But Jia Shao's words made everyone break out in cold sweats.

Really...will there be a mutiny?

Seeing them like this, Cui Xian knew what they were talking about. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Yan Siyuan, raise your head and look at me when I speak. Did you secretly provide disaster relief outside Mengjin City?"

Yan Siyuan swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "We are helping the people. In order to let them have food to eat, we have spent all our savings."

absurd!

Cui Xian's face was very ugly: "No wonder the magistrate of Mengjin County wanted to arrest you! How many refugees are there outside the city now?"

Yan Siyuan stammered, "About seven or eight thousand, maybe more."

Cui Xian's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and he said angrily: "What do you think you are capable of? You got together to laugh at Cui Xian and call him a political prodigy. Then why don't you do something good that will truly benefit the country and the people!"

"How dare you take in refugees in Mengjin for disaster relief? You want to bring Mengjin to ruin! Also, I'm afraid those refugees from Shaanxi will also be ruined because of you!"

"You are a bunch of idiots. You are not even as good as Choi Hyun's toes!"

This last sentence is really dirty.

The haters in the cell blushed and wanted to fight back, but they didn't dare to.

Yan Siyuan hated Cui Xian the most, so when he heard what Jia Shao said, he stiffened his neck and refuted.

But Jia Shao glared at him: "Why, you don't accept it? As the leader of this group of people, you are the stupidest! You are not even qualified to compare with Cui Xian's toes!"

Yan Siyuan was stunned by the scolding.

Cui Xian ignored him and borrowed a small black bookcase nearby. He quickly wrote a note and handed it to the jailer: "Please help me pass it on to the county magistrate."

"Mengjin is in trouble. I can't just sit there and watch. You go as soon as possible. I hope everything will still be in time."

"Otherwise...Mengjin will really be finished!"

He had a calm and extraordinary demeanor and clear eyes, unlike Yan Siyuan and others who were stupid.

Therefore, the jailer hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."

They were a group of scholars, so even the magistrate of Mengjin County only arrested them temporarily, and the jailers naturally did not dare to make things too difficult for them.

The jailer hurried away with Cui Xian's note.
