Chapter 215: A Huge Network of Interests
The fat county commander knelt on the ground and trembled, he was the emperor of the soil in this place, but when he saw the officials of the ministry, he was his grandson.
He is not necessarily afraid of his superiors, but he must be afraid of the officials of the ministry.
Because of the people in the ministry, he can have a bright future, or he can lose his job immediately, and even kill him.
"My lord, Xia Guan really knows that he is wrong, please ask the adult to open up, Xia Guan really doesn't dare to ...... adult"
The only chance he had now was to pray that Qin Ming wouldn't bother with him, otherwise, he would be finished.
"Open the net? When a family kneels on the ground and begs you for an extra mouthful of porridge, why don't you open the net? The disaster relief silver taels given by the imperial court, even if the people can't eat enough, they still ask you to eat? ”
The more Qin Ming spoke, the more angry he became, and with another kick, he kicked the fat county order and rolled on the ground.
When the surrounding victims saw this scene, they felt relieved.
I saw that the fat county commander quickly got up and knelt down, and said, "My lord, if you can get angry, kick the official a few more times......
Qin Ming shook his head angrily, this kind of person has been shameless to the point that he doesn't bother to hit him.
At this time, the young woman suddenly kowtowed to Qin Ming:
"My lord, this dog officer, just because my husband stained his clothes, he killed my husband, beg your lord to call the shots!"
Yan Lingfei hurriedly helped the woman up, and then Qin Ming looked at the fat county commander and shouted angrily:
"If your clothes are dirty, you will kill people, you are a seven-grade sesame official, but you have a prestige that the emperor has never had, you are very rampant!"
As he spoke, Qin Ming kicked him away, and threw the fat county order into the air.
Then Qin Ming shouted at the surrounding officials: "Come on, tie up this dog county order to this official!" ”
As soon as these words came out, those officials and servants all looked at each other, and they were a little at a loss for a while.
Qin Ming frowned: "This official is a fourth-grade official of the imperial court, can he not move you?" Or are you going to be an accomplice to this dog county order? ”
These officials were so frightened that they hurriedly stepped forward and directly tied up the fat county order, and the fat county order didn't dare to resist, but kept begging Qin Ming for mercy.
Qin Ming ignored him at all, and said: "Pull out his official uniform, tie him under the big tree next to him, and from now on, give him a bowl of porridge every day, remember, a bowl of porridge can only be a few grains of rice." ”
"Yes......"
The officials immediately complied and tied the fat county order under the big tree, and the fat county order kept begging for mercy, and his face turned pale.
He is so fat, he eats big fish and meat every day, and a bowl of clear water porridge a day, where can he stand it?
"My lord, please let me go, ...... who will die," the fat county magistrate kept wailing.
When Qin Ming heard this, he said: "It's best to die, of course, if you don't want to die so early, hurry up and take out the embezzled money." ”
"I'll take it, I'll definitely take ......"
This fat county commander is not a fool if he dares to be corrupt, at this time, such as confessing and being lenient, otherwise he will die even worse.
So he said to the servant, "Go...... Find my wife and ask her to take out all my money and give it to the adults......"
"It's not for me, it's to buy food for disaster relief!" Qin Ming scolded.
"Yes, yes, buy food for disaster relief,......" said the fat county commander.
So several officials immediately went to find the county lord's wife, and after a short time, four or five boxes of thousands of taels of silver moved out.
Qin Ming looked at the silver, and then said to the fat county order:
"You are very bold, few officials in the imperial court dare to be so blatantly greedy now, you are still greedy for thousands of taels?"
"Your Excellency...... It's only a thousand taels here, and a few thousand taels have been handed over to the top......" The fat county commander said hesitantly.
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, snorted and said, "Don't worry, the official has to find out for them." ”
Then he said to the servants, "Go, buy all this money into food, and cook here every day, three times a day, no less." ”
How dare these officials not listen, and immediately go to exchange money for food.
In a short time, truckloads of grain were transported to the gate of the county government and piled up into a mountain of grain, which was enough for everyone to eat for a long time.
Qin Ming nodded with satisfaction, and listened to the fat county order: "My lord, the lower official has already paid the price, can you let the lower official go?" ”
Qin Ming said with a cold face: "Pay the price? The money is not yours in the first place, at what cost? This official told you that just what you have done today is not enough to die ten times, so you should be honestly tied to where you are. ”
Qin Ming thought for a while and said, "Besides, don't you love cleanliness as a dog official?" ”
As he spoke, Qin Ming looked at the victims and continued:
"All the victims, listen, when you come here to eat every day, you have to line up and spit on this dog officer before you can eat, do you hear?"
When these victims heard this, they were excited, and someone immediately asked, "My lord, is it okay for me to spit out twice?" ”
Qin Ming smiled: "Of course you can!" ”
Someone else asked, "My lord, is it okay to vomit now?" ”
"That's fine!" Qin Ming nodded.
So, a group of victims immediately began to spit on the fat county commander who was tied up, and after a while, the fat county commander was wet all over.
At this time, Qin Ming can be regarded as having seen what it means that a person can drown people with a mouthful of spit.
Now, the corrupt officials have been tied up and enough food is available, so under Qin Ming's order, the officials live and cook again.
After a while, a big pot of white rice was fine, so all the victims lined up again and couldn't wait to spit on the fat county order, and then went to eat white rice.
During this period, many people knelt down to kowtow to Qin Ming.
These victims, where have they eaten such a bowl of white rice in the past six months? Many people had tears in their eyes.
Watching the victims eat, Qin Ming also breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he walked to the fat county commander who was crying and begging for mercy, and asked, "What about the sweet potato seeds and potato seeds transported by the imperial court?" Why do you only give a small portion to the victims? ”
The fat county magistrate cried and said: "My lord, I really can't blame me for this, there are only so many potatoes and sweet potato seeds received by the lower officials, and they are all given to the victims." ”
"Nonsense, you are afraid that the victims will eat sweet potatoes and potatoes if they plant them, so it is not good for you to ask the court for disaster relief and embezzlement, right?" Qin Ming shouted angrily.
The fat county commander hurriedly explained: "Although there is also this reason, it is more because of the appearance of sweet potatoes and potatoes, which has moved the interests of too many people."
Therefore, the sweet potato and potato seeds sent by the imperial court were destroyed or hidden by some people openly and secretly, and there were indeed not many in the hands of the victims. ”
Qin Ming was stunned: "Whose interests are being moved?" ”
The fat county order said: "The interests of those who buy and sell rice and grain are moved, and rice is controlled by big families and officials." The emergence of sweet potatoes and potatoes has a high yield and is easy to grow, and everyone will not worry about eating it in the future, so won't the price of rice have to be reduced?
So they don't want sweet potatoes to appear, they want more people to starve, and then their rice can have a place to sell, and the price is more expensive, as for how many people can't afford to eat and starve to death, they don't care. ”
Qin Ming instantly understood that this Nima was hunger marketing, and it was difficult to make a fortune.
These grandsons can really be described as having lost their conscience.
Qin Ming took a deep breath and said, "It seems that the network of interests involved in this is very big!" ”
Hearing this, the fat county order said: "So my lord, the lower officials advise you to leave these things alone, those big guys above, you can't afford to mess with ......"
Qin Ming smiled: "I can't afford to mess with it?" Hehe, I can't afford to mess with it? Hahahaha......"
