Chapter 78

"The lower officials have seen General Zhao Tuo" Zhao Tuo had been busy for three full days, and Chengwu County was the last county Zhao Tuo visited.

The magistrate of Chengwu County bowed and said, "I wonder why General Zhao is here?"

"This general is under the order of Lord Wu An to inspect the East County, inspect various places, and monitor whether you have any corruption."

Zhao Tuo rode on the horse, looked at the long line of people, and said: "People who have received relief food, this general has something to ask you, how much relief food has Chengwu County distributed to you? Is it for young children and the elderly? Fur and other things were distributed”

"Come on," Zhao Tuo said, pointing to a young man.

"Back to the general, there are five people in our family, and we received a total of twelve rations."

"Are these days or?"

"Back to the general, it's seven days' rations"

"Then will the furs be distributed?" The young man Zhao Tuo asked had a family of five, including two elderly people and a child. According to Wu Anjun's instructions, he could receive three furs in advance.

"No, the county magistrate said that the distribution is over."

"Oh, magistrate, the imperial court stipulates that each person's daily ration is half a catty, but you dare to deduct the people's rations without permission, and come here to take down all the officials of Chengwu County."

"Zhao Tuo, we are all officials ordered by His Majesty, what right do you have to arrest us?" the magistrate of Chengwu County shouted.

"This general has no power, but Lord Wu An has it. This is the seal of Lord Wu An. Take them down." Zhao Tuo took out Xiao Hong's seal and said loudly.

In fact, the reaction of the county magistrate of Chengwu County, Zhao Tuo is no stranger to it. He patrolled the fourteen counties of Dongjun County and arrested officials from several counties. All the officials had the same reaction as the county magistrate of Chengwu County. , and every time Zhao Tuo didn't talk nonsense with them, he directly took out Xiao Hong's big seal.

"come"

"General"

"Send people to continue distributing relief food, the full amount, and send people to find the furs that the king transported to the disaster area and distribute them to the people"

"Here"

When the common people saw the arrest of the corrupt officials, they all bowed down to Zhao Tuo in gratitude.

"Everyone please rise up, this general is only acting on the order of Lord Wu An, everyone, get your food quickly." Zhao Tuo arranged the affairs of Chengwu County and left with his army. He must go to see Lord Wu An immediately.

During this inspection, Zhao Tuo arrested officials from six counties, and they were all detained.

But these officials were indeed appointed by Qin Shihuang himself. Now that this matter has become a big deal, Qin Shihuang will soon know that although Zhao Tuo acted according to Wu'an Jun's order, it can be regarded as exercising the power that Qin Shihuang only possessed in disguise.

That afternoon Zhao Tuo rushed to Baima County and saw Xiao Hong who was distributing food.

"Your Majesty"

"Oh, General Zhao is back, come here, first help me distribute food together, the manpower here is not enough." Xiao Hong seemed to ask Zhao Tuo to help.

Unfortunately, Zhao Tuo, who had been tired for three days, didn't even have time to drink, so he joined the team distributing food.

Baima County is considered to be a relatively large county in the East County. People from all over the country have gathered in the county these days, and the people left behind in the county can no longer be separated. Fortunately, Xiao Hong personally sits here. Although there are many people, but fortunately Everyone is very orderly.

After three hours of busy work, the rations have finally been distributed. At present, the imperial court is dispatching food from granaries in various places, so now each time the people are distributed rations for three days, and furs and other things are constantly being delivered. Follow There were also a lot of Yunnan Baiyao, which was written by Xiao Hong to Qin Shihuang after he arrived in Dongjun.

Because of the flood, many people were injured. Although many people have recovered, many people's wounds have suppurated due to insufficient food. At present, various places are not stable. From time to time, people still suffer from various problems. cause injury.

So Xiao Hong wrote to Qin Shihuang, applying for a batch of Yunnan Baiyao, and this batch of Yunnan Baiyao has been distributed to various counties.

"Tell me, General Zhao, what's the result of these three days?" After Xiao Hong and Zhao Tuo returned to the county government, Xiao Hong asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have inspected the fourteen counties of Dongjun County in three days. Officials from six counties have embezzled the relief food. I have already held the seal of the Lord and imprisoned them all, waiting for the emperor to release them."

"Okay, this disaster has hit Dongjun. People everywhere are displaced and in danger. They actually dare to commit corruption and don't care about the lives of the people. What reason do such officials have to live in the world? Pass on this emperor's order to punish all corrupt officials, big and small. Bring them to Puyang County, I will personally kill them," Xiao Hong ordered angrily.

"Your Majesty, are you thinking about it? After all, they are all officials personally appointed by His Majesty. There are too many officials involved in this matter. Should I ask Your Majesty for instructions first?" Zhao Tuo said worriedly. There were hundreds of officials involved this time. , and these people were basically appointed by Qin Shihuang himself. If they didn't say hello to Qin Shihuang, they would be beheaded, which would be unreasonable.

"Don't be so troublesome. Your Majesty asked me to take charge of the big and small affairs of Dongjun County, manage disaster relief matters, and also granted Lord Wu'an the right to dispose of it temporarily. Not to mention these county magistrates, even the governor of Dongjun County. Don't pass orders," Xiao Hong said angrily, looking at the messenger who was still standing there.

"Yes, yes" the messenger hurriedly ran out of the county office.

"General Zhao, take your troops and follow me to Puyang County." Xiao Hong stood up and said, "The old man who came with me stays in Baima County for the time being, so he can take care of him, so don't neglect him."

"Here, I will obey"

Xiao Hong rode a war horse and accompanied by Zhao Tuo to Puyang County.

"Welcome Lord Wu'an" Zhuang Xu, governor of Dongjun County, led a group of officials from Dongjun County to welcome Xiao Hong at the gate of Puyang County.

"Everyone, please forgive me." Xiao Hongqi gave a little support on the horse.

"Thank you sir." After Zhuang Xu got up first, everyone got up one after another.

Zhuang Xu greeted Xiao Hong and walked into the mansion, saying: "Mr. Wu An, you are simply the savior of millions of people in our East County." It has long been since Lord Wu An scolded everyone for leaving the court alone for the people of East County. It spread all over the streets and alleys, so not only the people of East County thanked Xiao Hong, but also the officials of East County like Zhuang Xu were very grateful to Xiao Hong. There is too much food and personnel, and once the disaster relief is not good, the county guards in various places will still be reprimanded by Qin Shihuang, and in severe cases, they will even lose their positions.

Originally, Zhuang Xu, the governor of the East County, had no hope. Who knew that Lord Wu An would fight for the sake of the people in the court, and in the end he even wanted to rescue the disaster even at the expense of offending Qin Shihuang, which made the court agree to start a disaster. Store food.

 The epidemic has been serious recently, readers, pay attention to safety, and you must wear a mask when you go out.
