Quick Wear: About the Things I Saved from the Villain
Chapter 116 The Last Dragon vs. the Founding Emperor (11)
The hardships of the border are not just talk. The climate in the Yuncheng area is harsh, and it is basically difficult to grow crops. In addition, disasters often occur, and when there is nothing left, the people can only rely on disaster relief funds and grain allocated by the court.
The last time he led his troops to hurriedly drive away Zheng’s army, he received an order to return to the capital. Qin Li stayed in the camp the whole time and did not enter the city, so he did not notice anything unusual.
When Qin Li walked out of the city this time, he found that the people in Yuncheng were all very thin. Some were so thin that they were just a bag of bones and looked like they would break if the wind blew.
But if I remember correctly, the last batch of disaster relief funds and relief grain was allocated not long ago.
Besides, the common people are thin, but the city lord Wang Shou is so fat that he looks like fat is about to ooze out of him. It is impossible that there is no problem behind this.
Yuan Meng went to investigate the matter.
Qin Li took the account book, but he became furious after reading just a few lines.
"Bastard!"
He slammed the table, stood up and kicked Wang Shou hard.
I thought Wang Shou would be greedy, but I didn't expect his appetite to be so big!
All the relief funds were embezzled, and he swallowed up nearly 90% of the 100% relief grain.
Qin Li didn't dare to think about how the people of Yuncheng survived!
Yuan Meng didn't say anything to calm him down, but spoke in a low voice, as if he guessed what he wanted to know.
"I sent people to inquire about the situation among the people. According to them, the population of Yuncheng is now less than one-fifth of what it used to be."
Although there was a disaster in Yuncheng, it was not a national disaster after all.
Even though the court distributed disaster relief grain and funds, countless people starved to death, ate tree bark and were worn out by the mud.
Yuncheng is worse than hell.
"And the City Lord's Mansion," Yuan Meng's voice was filled with anger.
"When I was searching, I found that except for the outer rooms of the City Lord's Mansion, which looked plain, the inner houses and courtyards were all exquisitely decorated with gold and jade, and were no less luxurious than the royal palace."
Wang Shou could no longer pretend and was shaking from the bottom of his heart.
"Your Majesty..."
Qin Li clenched his fists at his sides until they made a creaking sound, and when Wang Shou opened his mouth, he took two steps forward.
A silver light flashed, and the hemp rope on Wang Shou fell off.
Wang Shou's face lit up with joy, and before he could kowtow, Qin Li raised his foot and stepped on his hands.
"what--"
Screams rang in his ears. Qin Li lowered his eyes and looked at Wang Shou, who was twisting like a maggot, and crushed him left and right with his feet.
"what--"
Qin Li turned a deaf ear to the screams that were getting louder and louder and took a step back.
Looking at Wang Shou holding his hands with tears on his face, Qin Li spoke viciously.
"Does it hurt now?"
“Isn’t it just this hand that’s greedy?”
Yuan Meng and Zuo Wei looked at each other, then stepped forward and each of them held down one arm of Wang Shou while they stretched out their hands holding his other arm.
Wang Shou realized what was going to happen and shook his head frantically.
“No, no…don’t…ah—”
"Pfft-"
As he looked horrified, Qin Li stabbed a sword into his palm.
Blood splattered everywhere, splashing onto the hem of Qin Li's clothes and quickly blending into the black clothes.
Qin Li then drew out his sword, and another scream rang out in his ears.
Qin Li took out a piece of silk cloth and wiped the sword, then spoke lightly.
"Wang Shou, the Lord of Yuncheng, embezzled relief money and food, then abandoned the city and fled. His crime was heinous, and his punishment is to be cut into pieces."
"Drag him to the city gate and let the common people watch the execution. Also, everyone in the city lord's mansion will be beheaded together."
"Yuan Meng supervises, Zuo Wei carries out the punishment."
Zuo Wei and Yuan Meng's faces suddenly turned serious, "Yes!"
The people brought by Wang Shou and Yuan Meng were all taken away.
Qin Li sent his attendants away and sat back in the main seat alone. He smelled the blood around him and felt his heart churning.
He was not disgusted by killing people, but he was disgusted by the blood of people like Wang Shou.
What’s even more frustrating is that Yuncheng is definitely not the only place where corruption occurs.
When Qin Yuan was in power, it was a carnival party for evil people and corrupt officials.
But now is not the time to deal with those people.
If he did not eliminate the deterrent power of Qin, the armies of other countries would arrive as soon as he returned to the capital to deal with the parasites.
What he has to do now is to strengthen the Qin State's confidence.
We must make other countries around us wary and timid, so that even when they are dealing with parasites within Qin, they will be cautious and dare not act rashly.
Qin Li exhaled heavily, and suddenly felt an itchy sensation on his wrist.
His body suddenly stiffened.
I was so angry just now that I forgot I had a little guy in my hand.
Mimi is still a baby. If it gets scared when seeing this...what should I do?
His slender knuckles lifted up his sleeves, and the little golden dragon on his wrist flew in front of him.
Qin Li's expression was a little stiff.
"Are you hungry?"
The little golden dragon stared at him with wide eyes and didn't answer.
Qin Li felt even more depressed. He lowered his eyes and fell silent.
If you're scared...
He didn't know what he could do either.
Leaving it in one place alone won't work.
As long as it was not in front of him, he would always unconsciously wonder if it had been discovered, captured, or harmed.
Send it away...No trace of the dragon has been found so far.
Qin Li's brows were tightly furrowed, and the faint smell of blood lingered around his body, making him more and more irritated.
Until I felt a cool touch on my cheek.
【Husband, don’t be sad. 】
Every time Qin Li heard the childish voice calling her "husband", he found it both funny and embarrassing.
Only this time, my heart seemed to be hit hard by something, and I felt uncontrollable pain.
"You..." How do you know I'm sad?
The words he was about to say were interrupted by a dazzling light. Qin Li remembered how Mi Mi transformed from a snake into a dragon after the last light, and his eyelashes trembled.
This time...will Xixi become a human?
The light slowly faded away, and a figure appeared faintly in the dim light.
Qin Li moved his hands hanging by his side, and when he spoke, he found that his voice was already hoarse.
"...Mingmian?"
The light disappeared completely, and the woman in a golden gauze dress opened her eyes. Her golden eyes were like the brightest sun at sunrise.
"Husband~"
She curled her red lips slightly and pounced towards Qin Li.
Qin Li subconsciously opened his arms and embraced the sun.
"I'm like you now."
She was in his arms, looking up at him, her eyebrows curved, and her eyes were filled with joy except for him.
Qin Li's heart skipped a beat.
