Yu Ming pondered for a moment, but frowned and said: "Xuan Ling, even if many of the victims are city residents, it can't be said that Yue Xin is cheating, after all, no matter the citizens and farmers, they all need treatment, maybe it's a coincidence, most of the victims Yue Xin placed in the refugee camp in the city are citizens from nearby counties and towns, and those affected farmers are placed in tents outside the city, which is also very likely." ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "These subordinates are naturally saved. However, what I said about Yue Xin's deception is not only that. Instead, a large number of pennants and plaques were placed at the entrance of the government office, I am afraid that Yue Xin found someone to make them, and then hung them there to paste gold on his face, not from the victims! ”

"Is there such a thing? Mr. Fang, do you have any evidence? When Yu Ming heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked angrily. He hated this kind of deception and deception of the officials of the imperial court.

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Xiaguan has not started a formal investigation, so no definite evidence has been collected. However, several suspicious places were found on these plaques and pennants. One is that these plaques are made by a signboard making shop, and the production process is very similar, and it seems to be made by a signboard production shop. The second is that these plaques and pennants, judging from the color and inlay traces, seem to have been made in recent days. And this disaster has been going on for more than a month. Those officials and gentry surnamed Yue Shou who were grateful to Yue Shou should have given him these plaques and pennants one after another. But how did it seem that they had made an appointment, and they were all delivered together in the last few days? ”

As soon as he said this, Yu Ming immediately frowned, according to what Fang Xuanling said, he was afraid that these plaques and pennants were all made by Yue Xin temporarily to deceive himself and the court officials.

Fang Xuanling continued to say unrelentingly: "The first suspicious thing on this plaque is that all the plaques and pennants are praising Yue Shou for loving the people, helping the township, disaster relief work, taking the lead, and rushing to the front line. And when we asked the victims during the day, we also praised this Yue Shou one by one. It seems that his official reputation and actions on weekdays are also quite good, and he can be called the master of the blue sky. But why is it that such an official has been a Wu'an guard for two years, and only during the recent disaster relief period has someone sent him plaques and pennants, but no one usually sends them? Could it be that Wu An's surname thinks that the only time to send plaques and pennants is the time for disaster relief? ”

When Yu Ming heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy. In this way, this Yue Shoushi is very suspicious, whether he embezzled disaster relief money and food in the flood relief, and whether he was suspected of poor disaster relief, although it is difficult to say, but it is impossible to deceive and deceive the imperial court.

Yu Ming immediately said: "Xuan Ling, then let's start investigating now!" If this Yue Xin is just selling his reputation, it is just a bit immoral. It's not a big deal! But if there is another bad thing, I will definitely take it down and punish it severely! No mercy! ”

He knows that this is not only a matter of eliminating harm for the people, but also related to whether he can complete Jinyang Palace.

Fang Xuanling nodded, but said with a difficult face: "My lord, this matter must be handled carefully!" Yue Xin is the brother of Yue Zengxing, the consul-in-chief of the court, and Yue Zengxing is the most popular eunuch around the emperor, and many things have to be discussed with him. If Yue Xin is investigated this time, it will definitely offend Yue Zeng Province greatly, but it will be detrimental to your future! ”

When Yu Ming heard this, he couldn't help frowning, what Fang Xuanling said was indeed very likely. Even if he reported Yue Xin's crime, although Yue Zeng Province might not dare to say it in person, he would definitely be dissatisfied behind his back, maybe after he left, there would be a secret incident.

After being silent for a long time, Fang Xuanling saw that Yu Ming did not speak, and asked tentatively: "My lord, what should we do with this Yue Xinshou?" ”

Yu Ming took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Xuan Ling, as soon as we come to the disaster relief, everyone can see the misery of the victims in Wu'an County, but whoever has a little conscience, who doesn't feel pity?" If Yue Xin just deceived and fooled the imperial court, although his crime was great, it was not hopeless. But if this person still harms the victims and embezzles money and food, then the sin is unforgivable! Even if I offend Yue Zeng Province for this, I will not hesitate to do it! ”

Fang Xuanling was busy: "What the adults said is that their subordinates will do it!" Merely...... It's just ......"

After hearing this, Yu Ming asked with concern, "Xuan Ling, what else is difficult for you?" If you feel that you don't have enough manpower, then, in a hurry, I can transfer the five of my guards to your command. Most of them are strong martial arts, shrewd and capable people, you can rest assured to use them boldly! ”

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he was overjoyed. He can't miss such a good opportunity, if he can do it, he will definitely become Yuming's henchman and climb the big tree of Yuvalve.

So, he hurriedly nodded and said, "My lord is wise, my subordinates are feeling that in Yue Xin's land, just relying on these people who are with us is a bit unbearable. However, adults also need to be protected by their side, and the subordinate only needs to protect his own soldiers. ”

Yu Ming immediately took out the talisman from his arms, handed it to Fang Xuanling, and said generously: "You see how many soldiers and horses you want, just transfer them, my martial arts are much higher than yours, and I have my accompanying iron guards to protect you, you don't have to worry about my safety!" ”

Fang Xuanling hurriedly thanked him, and after taking the talisman, he bowed his hand to Yuming and said: "Since this is the case, the matter is urgent, the lower official will go to mobilize the soldiers and horses and start the investigation!" ”

Yu Ming smiled and said, "Go ahead!" I'm waiting for your good news that Wu'an City is the last stop of our inspection of the disaster! I hope I don't end up with a snake! ”

Fang Xuanling brought five guards and imperial history to investigate the case, such a big movement, how could Yue Xin, who was the head snake of Wu'an, not know. He was suddenly as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he was spinning around.

By his side, Eryue Yuchuan was unreasonable. He disagreed: "Dad, this investigation into whether local officials may be corrupt and bribery has been done in previous years when the disaster occurred, but it is just a formality." Whether you can really pass the test or not, the kung fu is still at the table. At that time, we will prepare a lot of money for this Lord Qin Chayu and a few Imperial Masters, and send a few beautiful girls to sleep, won't we? ”

Yue Xin listened, but sighed: "Yuchuan, it depends on the person." If it is an official from the Eastern Capital, I have some friendship, plus my cousin Zeng Province is here, others don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, and they always have to sell me a few points. When the emperor was there, he was not strict in terms of disaster relief, and I was sure that I would have fooled it through. But now it is this Lord Yu who came from Liaodong, and he is very sloppy in this matter. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "I heard that this young Lord Yu is a jealous and hateful person, and has always refused to accept bribes...... Why should we be self-defeating? Besides, the Holy Lord attaches great importance to the matter of repairing Jinyang Palace, if he knows that the current slow progress is caused by the large number of people in Wu'an County. I'm afraid that we will be in a big disaster. Even if Yue Zeng Province came forward to protect him, it would be useless. ”

Yue Yuchuan became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Dad, what should I do now?" Since even Uncle Zeng can't protect us! We'll have to find a way to get by! Otherwise, this is a great crime of killing the head! ”

Yue Xin thought for a while, Fang gritted his teeth and said, "Right now, the treasury is empty. However, how much grain is stored in the treasury of Wu'an County, the account book is clearly remembered, and there is still a record in the original county. Although we can say that it is a disaster relief distributed to the victims. But it's not possible to give out that much. Therefore, now the only way to do this is to mobilize relatives and friends at home to bring grain back to the treasury from their own warehouses and plug the holes in the treasury first. I estimated that the gap was about 100,000 stones. I'm afraid that the warehouses of our two families will only be filled with seventy percent, and the insufficient 90,000 stone of grain will have to be distributed under the pretext that it is a disaster relief. At least he didn't see much of a problem on the books! ”

After a pause, he said again: "Then, we will mobilize the government officials in the city, as well as the chief of the land protection of each street, with the county soldiers, to patrol everywhere, those victims are actually very ignorant, after intimidation and threats, there are absolutely few people who dare to stand up and testify to the truth and identify us, Yuming cannot stay here for a long time, after all, his main job is to supervise the repair of Jinyang Palace." It won't be long before he leaves. Our Yue family is deeply rooted in Wu'an County, and Zeng Province echoes in the court, Yuming should not dare to touch us without real evidence! ”

When Yue Yuchuan heard that he wanted to take the food out by himself, he showed a look of embarrassment, and hesitated and said, "Dad, there is no problem for our father and us to take the food out." But those relatives in the family may not agree, after all, after our business has lost money this time, we owe a lot of debt. Many relatives don't buy our accounts as much as they used to. They also want to withhold some money and grain to pay for local officials. ”

When Yue Xin heard this, he said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Under this nest, how can there be eggs?" At present, except for Zeng Province, the younger brother of the Yue family in Hedong is the only one who has done the biggest. If I fall again, they will be even more helpless! Make these great relationships clear to them! borrowed their grain, just to block the errand, and when the matter subsided, Yuming returned to the eastern capital after returning to the eastern capital, he returned it to them...... In the autumn of the next year, Yue will find a way to levy a few more percent of the grain tax, which can be regarded as the interest paid to them! Then they should know what to choose! ”

Yue Yuchuan nodded again and again when he heard this, and said busily: "Then the boy immediately went to the relatives of the clan to borrow food, and they also made a lot of benefits in this before." Now spit it out, there should be no problem! ”
