Chapter 11
In this way, they hurried on the road for five days and finally arrived at the disaster-stricken site.
The disaster-stricken areas in the south were mainly concentrated in the Huguang area, and Yuezhou was the most serious. When they were about to arrive at the place, Xia Lanshuwang and Xia Greed secretly went to inspect it in advance.
Seeing the disaster scene, Xia Greed took a deep breath.
The disaster is really serious.The floods submerged a large area of farmers' farmland, and the affected victims could be seen everywhere on the road, all of them were sallow and emaciated.
Xia Li's heart was greatly shocked, he had never seen such a scene, whether it was in the previous life or in reality, Xia Li's life has always been very happy, this is the first time he has come into close contact with ancient natural disasters, watching starvation, The victims who struggled with death were greatly touched. They used to have no ability, but now they have it. They have the ability to make the lives of people in the world better. Why not do it?
This touch for Xia Greed really made Xia Greed a good emperor, of course this is all for later.
"Why are there so few porridge sheds, and the government didn't release food?" Xia Greed asked Xia Lan Shuwang.
"It's definitely going to be released, but it's hard to say the quantity." Xia Lan Shuwang gave Xia Lian a meaningful look, Xia Lian understood, and the two walked towards the city gate.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, the soldiers guarding the gate stopped them.
"From outside?" The soldier turned his nostrils to the sky.
Xia Greed stopped Xia Lanshuwang, walked up first, took out a silver ingot from his pocket, and secretly handed it to the soldier.
Then two people went in.
Xia Greed is a little proud, finally able to have an experience on a TV series, rich people feel really different (>﹏<)
Xia Lan Shuwang looked at the proud demo of the person in front of him, and was embarrassed to tell him that ten people could enter with the money just given ╮(╯_╰)╭
But Xia Greed turned around and asked, "Brother Shu Wang, what news did your subordinates find out?"
Here we go again, pretending to be so innocent, you are not a little girl, hey!
Xia Lan Shuwang lowered his eyes and said: "The disaster in Yuezhou Prefecture is serious, and Pingjiang County is the worst among them. The governor of Yuezhou Prefecture, Zhu Wenzheng, was greedy for ink and sold the stored grain to merchants, resulting in not much stored grain in the granary. , Even if you want to rescue the disaster, you are powerless."
"Aren't the merchants willing to sell now?"
"Now that merchants are taking the opportunity to drive up prices, Zhu Wenzheng is probably putting pressure on him and wants to come up with countermeasures before we arrive. Hmph, that's a good idea!"
"Being rich is not benevolent, being an official is not honest, brother Shu Wang, what are you going to do?"
"First hold your breath and wait for the opponent to make a move, so that you can take the initiative."
Xia Greed curled his lips, feeling awesome but I couldn't understand.
After wandering around the city to understand the situation, the two returned to the main force and were expected to arrive tomorrow afternoon.
By the afternoon of the second day, Xia Greed was finally able to enter the city openly.
A prince, a Marquis, and a group of guards stood at the gate of the city in a dignified manner.
Yuezhou Prefecture Yin respectfully came out to greet him.
Xia Greed looked at him very disliked, because this man looked very deceptive, he looked like an upright official who loved the people, the road that was crowded with refugees yesterday was completely cleared today, but he didn't know that he was caught by this bumbling thing in front of him Where did it go, Nima, the action is fast enough!
But surface work still needs to be done.
A group of people were flattering each other, and Zhu Wenzheng welcomed them into the government office, and ordered the accompanying people to put their luggage into the post house, and then there was the most mainstream activity of communication, courting, and flattering—the banquet.
Xia Greed is very irritable, he didn't like these things before, as an otaku, listening to a group of people buzzing and chit chatting, especially getting involved, is a disaster!
But Xia Greed has to endure these, this shit is the price of growth!
Xia Lan Shuwang saw Xia Greed's impatience, and thoughtfully asked if he wanted to go back and rest.
Xia Greed said no, he could persist.Xia Lan Shuwang had no choice but to follow him.
At the dinner table, Zhu Wenzheng talked about everything and was very respectful to everyone, but he just didn't talk about business.
Xia Greed couldn't take it anymore, and finally spoke: "Master Zhu, the emperor sent me here to control the flood. We are here to taste delicious food and wine. I don't know how the victims are resettled? Sir, please tell me about the situation. Let us feel at ease!"
Zhu Wenzheng smiled, and bowed to Xia, "Your Highness, the disaster in Yuezhou Prefecture was serious this time, and Pingjiang County was the most severe. The county magistrate of Pingjiang County, Jiang Qing, fled when the disaster broke out. Regardless of the victims, the officials sent him to the city. After being captured, it has been found that Jiang Qing was corrupt and accepted bribes and sold grain to merchants, hoarded it for profiteering, and has already imprisoned Jiang Qing, waiting for His Highness to release him. The disaster was indeed serious a few days ago, but it has eased in recent days. In the west of the city, there is a specially set up settlement for the victims, with temporary tents, special food and clothing supplies, and doctor’s consultations to prevent the plague. The resettlement of the victims is very orderly overall.”
"Then it looks like Master Zhu's arrangement is very good. Alas, this trip to this hall is considered to be in vain. I still want to ask my father for credit. Now it seems that it will not work. If David has a few more good officials like Sir , father can also save some snacks."
"Haha, Your Highness is too famous, and I dare not be an official. I hope that this time the flood control can get more advice from His Highness."
Xia Gu supported his forehead, "My lord, this hall is a bit too drunk, go back and rest first, you can take me to the place where the victims are resettled tomorrow to have a look!"
"Okay, it's because I didn't think carefully about it. Your Highness should be tired after working all the way. Your Highness should go back to rest first. The post house has been taken care of. Tomorrow, my lower official will show His Highness a detailed look." Zhu Wenzheng saluted again, looking Blame yourself for being ill-considered.
"Then I will thank you, my lord!"
"I don't dare, send it off to Your Highness respectfully!"
Xia Greed left, Xia Lan Shuwang was meaningless to stay here, it was very tiring to fight with the old fox, and this group of gangsters all had the same tone and excused that they couldn't drink enough, so they left.
Xia Lan Shuwang went back to the post house and went to find Xia Gu. Isn't Xia Gu drunk at this time, so of course he must seize the opportunity to ask for warmth!Although Xia Greed is just pretending at first glance, he can't let go of any chance to express his heart.
When he arrived at Xia Li's room, Xia Li was writing.
"Don't you have a headache? Why are you practicing calligraphy? Do you want to sleep?"
"No, didn't you say that practicing calligraphy can calm you down? I'll try." Xia Greed continued writing stroke by stroke without raising his head.
Xia Lanshu glanced at what Xia Greed wrote, and the corners of her mouth twitched after seeing the words written on it clearly, thinking, Xin'er should be relying on this to vent, alas, he is just too kind and protected too much. Alright, I comforted him: "Xin'er, there are many people like Zhu Wenzheng, and you will inevitably have to face such people in the future. You have to learn to adapt."
"I know!"
Xia Greed threw away the pen, "I'm just upset, can't I even have this emotion?"
Alas, the child lost his temper again, and Xia Lan Shuwang had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want, just don't get angry." As soon as he faced Xia Greed, he lost all temper, Xia Lan Shuwang I am also very helpless to myself, but I am not used to him, who will allow him to be so willful in the future?
Xia Gu felt that what he said was a bit too much, and he didn't provoke him, and he was throwing some temper at him, so his voice softened again, "Brother Shu Wang, I'm sorry, I'm not attacking you, I'm just a little controlling Not emotional, but man, there are always some days in a month, you understand~" By the way, he gave Xia Lan Shuwang a meaningful look.
Xia Greed was stunned after saying this, when did he become a bitch!Nima must be possessed by someone, for sure!
Xia Lan Shuwang looked at Xia Greed who was sensible again, and was very excited. She felt that what she had paid was finally rewarded a little bit, especially when she saw Xia Greed's last look. Although she couldn't understand what Xia Greed was talking about, she felt I now have hope in everything I do!
In order to get rid of the embarrassment he had caused himself as soon as possible, Xia Greed quickly changed the topic to the serious matter of flood control.
"Uh, brother Shuwang, how do you plan to take the initiative in tomorrow's matter?"
"Xin'er, tell me."
"Uh, debunk the conspiracy?"
"It is to expose Zhu Wenzheng, but not now. The evidence is not complete now. Acting rashly will only scare the snake, and even get bitten back."
Xia Greed looked at him blankly, can we speak more bluntly and get to the point!
Xia Lan Shuwang understood the deep resentment in Xia Greed's eyes, and slowly explained, "Is it Zhu Wenzheng who is corrupt?"
"Yes."
"But now he is shifting the responsibility to Jiang Qing?"
"Yes."
"So we need to find evidence of Zhu Wenzheng's corruption first."
"Correct."
"Then who has the evidence in their hands?"
"Jiang Qing?"
"Xin'er is very smart!" Xia Lan Shuwang praised.
"My guess……"
"It's easier to find the evidence behind it."
"Hmm..." Xia Greed looked a little sullen.
Xia Greed is not someone with a high IQ, but why would he guess Jiang Qing right?Because the greedy guard had already stated in the same news about the flood in Huguang that the county magistrate of Pingjiang County was dead.
It's not easy to be a genius, and it's not easy to pretend to be awesome. The previous preparations will come in handy one day.
Now the truth is easy to guess, the real magistrate of Pingjiang County is dead, and now the prisoner must be a bribed scapegoat, why did he die?It's just because you know something you shouldn't know or it's out of control.
Xia Gu thought that his greedy guard was already strong, but now it seems that it is not enough~ I just know that Jiang Qing is dead, but Xia Lan Shuwang has already got the evidence!
Alas, it seems that I still have to make persistent efforts!
In this way, they hurried on the road for five days and finally arrived at the disaster-stricken site.
The disaster-stricken areas in the south were mainly concentrated in the Huguang area, and Yuezhou was the most serious. When they were about to arrive at the place, Xia Lanshuwang and Xia Greed secretly went to inspect it in advance.
