Anyang, Nuanqing Pavilion.

After a white shadow flashed, Qin Sheng slowly entered the pavilion and said to Min Shuo, who was lying on the couch, "Sir, I have found it." The silver for repairing the embankment of the river embankment in Dongqiu County was instructed by Chen Yangshou of the Ministry of Industry to be corrupted by the county order of Dongqiu County. Later, the Dongqiu County Order paid Chen Yangshou a tribute of about 100,000 silver. Later, Xiao Ao noticed this matter and took the opportunity to ask Chen Yangshou for a bribe of about 60,000 yuan. The last time I saw my majesty was the time. “

"Okay, what's the situation on the East Party side now?" Min Shuo rubbed his forehead lightly.

"The East Party is biting Chen Yangshou's supervision of injustice, and someone in Yushitai has already written a book to impeach. It's just that Xiao Ao didn't let go, and now the Dongqiu County Order is remanded in the cell of the Criminal Department, and the case is about to be closed. ”

"Pass the matter of Chen Yangshou's instructions to the Eastern Party through the dark line, and they will be happy to know about it." In the past few days, things have finally made some progress, and Min Shuo's brows have relaxed slightly.

"What about Xiao Ao's bribery?"

"Xiao Ao's bribery was handed over to Cailiyuan to pass on to the Peony Pavilion, even if he was also a member of the Eastern Party, King Qing could help more than Su to bring down Xiao Ao."

"Yes."

"Next, I can only hope that Shang Ying can drag on until Xiao Ao falls."

Recently, the DPRK and China have been in a state of panic.

If you want to say why this is so, you have to mention the corruption case of embankment repair that was turned out in the summer. The corruption case involved the flood problem in Caozhou, and countless people were affected by the disaster, and their grievances were boiling. In addition, it was the first major case encountered by Emperor Ming after his pro-government, so the investigation was quite rigorous.

Another reason is that for some reason, the East Party clung to the disadvantage of Chen Yangshou, the secretary of the Ministry of Labor, to supervise the work, and only then did it insist on the gap of corruption and perversion of the law by local officials, and demanded that they be removed from their official posts to appease the people's grievances. Later, it was revealed that it was the Ministry of Industry that ordered this to be the case, and when everyone was shocked, it was only a few days later that Shang Shufu was involved in shooting Xiao Ao to ask for bribes. As a result, the two parties are constantly competing and more and more officials are being involved.

Caozhou, Dongqiu County.

Dongqiu County's disaster relief is in full swing. With the guidance at the beginning of the month, the victims quickly had a direction to do things, and the villages were actively engaged in reconstruction.

At first, there were some objections and doubts, but with Cao Ji'an's coordination, the victims still cooperated. Compared with the rising morale of the reconstruction, the situation in a side house on the west side of the main house of the prefectural government is getting worse and worse.

The second lady has been confirmed to be suffering from cold fever. Erya was strictly ordered by Yunxiang not to enter the side house, and could only squat outside the door every evening to talk to her mother. Every time Yun Xiang saw this scene, his heart felt as if he had been cut by a knife, and his mood became heavier and heavier.

The little girl is very optimistic, as long as she sees Yun Xiang, she will smile and say good. Usually, he goes to the villages to deliver food and water at the beginning of the month, and stays with Qingdai at night.

On this day, at the beginning of the month, he followed Cao Ji'an to inspect the construction status of each village.

Dongqiu County, the entrance of Bashui Village.

"That should be fine, and Amber will arrange the rest." The moon nodded and said to the old man in front of him.

When the old man heard this, a smile appeared on his old face, "Thank you Lord Yushi, and thanks to your guidance, our village can progress so quickly." ”

The moon shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm just opening my mouth, this thing is still done by everyone, and the old man has a good reputation." "Farewell to the old man, the group prepared to go to the next village at the beginning of the month.

"Master Cao, where is next?" The beginning of the month looked at the catalogue in his hand and asked. She didn't hear a response, she felt strange, and looked up to see Cao Ji'an on the side looking at her thoughtfully.

"Lord Cao?" At the beginning of the month, Cao Ji'an suddenly came back to his senses, bowed his head slightly, and said, "What do you want from Hang Yushi?" ”

"I want to ask Lord Cao, there are still a few villages to check next." At the beginning of the month, he looked at him with a feeling of confusion.

On that day, she asked Cao Ji'an why there were 10% fewer victims, and he said in a veiled way that the previous county order had made a false report. I didn't believe it, so I asked to go to the villages to check the situation. I didn't expect him to agree. However, this tour naturally needs to be accompanied by someone, and in addition to Cao Ji'an, there are seven or eight officials who are with him at the beginning of the month.

Although there is displeasure in my heart, I also know that there is no other way, and I have not found anything strange in the past few days. At the beginning of the month, I could only temporarily suppress doubts.

"Thirty miles further east is Yujia Village." Cao Ji'an said.

"Well, let's go then." The moon glanced at him and said, "It's not early." ”

After a few people walked for a while, the moon suddenly stopped, frowning, the wind had just blown, she seemed to smell a rotten smell, the same as when she first arrived in Dongqiu.

"Lord Hang? What's wrong? Seeing that the complexion of the beginning of the month was different, Cao Ji'an and the others also stopped in confusion.

Instead of responding to him, Tsuki sniffed into the air, and the smell seemed to be coming from the north side. She turned to the north side.

Ahead was a barren meadow, thatched more than a foot high, growing lushly, and the hills in the distance that had been spreading all the way seemed to be nothing.

"Lord Hang?" Cao Ji'an called again, and looked in the direction he was looking at at the beginning of the month. I saw the barren grass miserable, and there was nothing else.

Suddenly, on the first day of the first month, some pillars were faintly seen in the thatched grass in the distance. She took a few steps forward, trying to see what it was.

Cao Ji'an was also stunned immediately, remembered something, and hurriedly shouted: "Lord Hang! ”

At the beginning of the month, he ignored him and continued to walk forward, and after walking a few steps, he was immediately surrounded by the officials. "Lord Hang, it's time for us to go to Yujia Village." Cao Ji'an's voice sounded coldly behind him, and it seemed that he had returned to the tense atmosphere on the official road when he first met, but there was no one around at the beginning of this month.

At the beginning of the month, he stiffened, looked at the front a little, raised his eyebrows, turned around and said lightly: "This official is a little tired." ”

Cao Ji'an was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, "Since the adults are tired, go back to the mansion over there to rest, and it's okay to go again tomorrow." "The actions at the beginning of the month really surprised him, if she went further, she would have to let someone forcibly bring her back, and now the disaster relief has finally unfolded, and no one wants anything unexpected to happen at the moment.

Yue Yue squinted at Cao Ji'an, and slowly responded for a long time. "Yes." Then he returned to the county seat with him.

Cao Ji'an sent her back to the county mansion and left not long after. Now it is not as good as it was at the beginning, except for a few officials standing guard outside the county government, the vigilance in the government has been much loosened.

Back in the house, at the beginning of the month, I asked about Qingdai and Yunxiang's situation. Qing Dai looked solemn and shook her head, "I'm afraid I won't be able to pass tonight." She said.

The bottom of his eyes darkened, and the moon said lightly: "I know." Then she came out of the main house and gathered a few officers and soldiers who had accompanied her.

As soon as he got out of the county office, he knocked out the guards and went straight to the direction of Bashui Village.

A few people quickly rushed to the thatched meadow of Fang Cai, "My lord, but here?" The leading officer and soldier turned around and asked.

The moon nodded, and walked a few steps forward without saying a word, and when she crossed the grass in the front row, she couldn't help but be shocked by what came into view.

Large and small tombstones, standing in the grass, look rough and look like there are hundreds.

A cold air entered the body, and at the beginning of the month, I only felt panicked, and then the officers and soldiers who came forward couldn't help but gasp when they saw this scene.

"Lord Hang, isn't it good to do disaster relief quietly? Why do you have to make it so torn? Immediately afterwards, Cao Ji'an's cold and faint voice sounded behind him, making everyone stiffen.

When he turned around, he saw Cao Ji'an surrounding them with dozens of people, and his face was grim.

At the beginning of the month, he felt a tingling in his scalp, but he still forced himself to ask loudly, "...... them Died of the plague? ”

When Cao Ji'an heard this, his eyes sank, and he said, "Since the adults already know, why bother asking." Someone came and put them up! ”

Then everyone stepped forward.
