Chapter 217: The Show Has Begun
took down the waist card and official seal representing his identity from Bai Lin, as well as the official uniform prepared on the side, and Qin Ming changed into the official uniform on the spot.
Immediately, people found a place to bury the bodies of the black-clothed people present, including Bai Lin's body, and buried them all.
Then Qin Ming looked at the two dozen officials around him and said:
"Remember, this official is now Tobe Kurabe Shiro Nakabailin."
The officials bowed down one after another: "Yes, my lord! ”
Qin Ming nodded, and after getting into the carriage with Yan Lingfei, he said, "Let's go, enter Mozhou City!" ”
Qin Ming wants to see a little bit of how powerful these guys who deceive their superiors and subordinates, embezzle disaster relief funds, squeeze disaster victims, and dare to assassinate court officials!
Not long after, the carriage arrived outside the gate of Mozhou, and a city defender stepped forward to inquire, and learned that it was an adult from the imperial capital, so he immediately let him go.
While the carriage entered the city, there were also city guards to guide the way, and soon, they arrived at the Mozhou Mansion.
Along the way, Qin Ming looked carefully, and the victims in Mozhou City were no less than those in Huzhou at the beginning.
It's just that these victims are holding bowls and want to eat.
Just looking at their emaciated and weak appearances, they are obviously the same as the victims in Ba County, they can't eat enough and can't starve to death!
After the carriage stopped outside the mansion, Qin Ming got out of the carriage.
Outside the mansion, a soap official immediately came over to ask politely, and after Qin Ming took out the official seal and waist card to prove his identity, the soap official immediately went to report.
In the palace, in the back hall, the prefect in his forties was drinking tea with the general judge and the same knowledge.
I saw that the prefect touched his mustache and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the adults of the imperial court informed us in advance that someone from the household department would come to check, otherwise we would have been caught off guard." ”
Some fat acquaintances also smiled and said, "It's better for you to make a decision immediately, I think, the Kurabe Shiro sent is already dead, hahaha......"
The general judge on the side also smiled: "When the time comes, the Tobe will investigate the cause of death in Kurabe Shiro, and we will say that we don't know that such an adult is coming, let us check, and we will say that we were killed by bandits and bandits, hahaha......"
The three of them laughed, and their appearance was quite a bit of a strategy and a decisive victory thousands of miles away.
However, at this moment, a soap official came in: "My lord, there is a man from the Imperial Capital Household Department Kurabe Division outside!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the three prefects were stunned, and their faces immediately changed.
Then the prefect got up and said with a calm face, "Are you sure?" ”
"The small one has already checked the official seal and waist card, this person is Bai Lin in the Household Department Kurabe Shiro, and he also has more than 20 imperial capital officials!" The soapman said.
The three adults looked at each other, all a little panicked.
After a long time, the prefect said: "Invite him to the back hall for tea, and the official will meet him for a while!" ”
After the soap official left, the prefect said to the same acquaintance: "Let people contact the killer sent to see why the assassination was not successful......
……
At this moment, after Qin Ming was invited into the Houya Hall by the soap officer, he served high-quality tea.
Qin Ming took a sip of the teacup and said to Yan Lingfei on the side: "I haven't seen a few people drink such good tea in the imperial capital. ”
Yan Lingfei said, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Just use Bai Lin's identity and investigate first." Qin Ming took another sip.
Not long after, the prefect walked in, and after seeing Qin Ming, the prefect of Mozhou said with a smile:
"I don't know that Lord Kurabe Shiro is here, and he is missing the distance!"
Qin Ming got up, arched his hand and said, "Lord Prefect said that you are one grade higher than the lower officials, how dare you greet you?" ”
"Hahaha, Lord Langzhong is polite, you are the official of the imperial capital, I am a local official, how can I compare, come and sit down!" The prefect said, and sat down with Qin Ming.
Then the prefect said, "My lord, is the journey going well?" ”
"It went well, it went very well." Qin Ming said.
The prefect was stunned for a moment, his face was a little unnatural, and he said, "It's good if it's smooth." ”
Qin Ming smiled, and then heard the prefect say: "By the way, Lord Langzhong came to Mozhou, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" ”
"Oh, on the orders of Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, come to Mozhou to have a look, investigate the situation of the victims, and provide relief food and money!" Qin Ming said very directly.
When the prefect heard this, his face was strange and he asked, "What about ...... Lord Langzhong all the way, what did you see? ”
"I've seen some, there are a lot of victims, and it seems that some of them can't get enough to eat." Qin Ming said.
The prefect said, "Lord Langzhong, there are too many people in this disaster, and there is not enough food." ”
Qin Ming smiled and said, "Really? If this is the case, shouldn't this official tell Lord Shangshu and ask him to allocate more food? ”
The prefect said, "It would be best if Lord Langzhong could do this!" ”
Qin Ming's face was gloomy, and he said: "Lord Prefect, can you list the number of disaster victims, let me see how many disaster victims there are, so much food, how can it not be enough?" ”
"This ......" The prefect frowned, looked at Qin Ming, and said, "Lord Langzhong, you just arrived, don't you rest and rest?" ”
"No, this is an important task, Lord Prefect, count the specific number of victims in several cities in Mozhou to this official, right?" Qin Ming said undoubtedly.
Seeing that Qin Ming had made up his mind to see it, the prefect could only nod with a calm face: "Okay, Lord Langzhong wants to see it, and the official will show the number of victims to the adult." ”
As he spoke, he immediately instructed the soap officer to get it, and after a while, a booklet appeared in Qin Ming's hand.
"Qinghe County, Mozhou Prefecture, 18,000 victims. In Lin County, the capital of Mozhou, there were 19,000 victims. Tong County, Mozhou Prefecture, 13,000 victims. Ba County, Mozhou, 14,000 victims~~"
Reading this, Qin Ming glanced at the prefect and said, "In this Ba County, there are 10,000 disaster victims?" ”
"yes, that's an accurate stat." The prefect said.
Qin Ming sneered in his heart, there were clearly less than 10,000 victims in Naba County. But the prefect lied about 12,000, allocated so much extra food, and said that it was not enough to eat? What about ghosts?
"There are four counties in Mozhou Prefecture, and a total of 64,000 people have been affected by the disaster." Qin Ming closed the booklet.
The prefect nodded: "That's right. ”
Qin Ming said: "How many people did the household department give you for disaster relief?" ”
When the prefect heard this, he hesitated: "It's almost more than 60,000 people's food." ”
"Then why not enough to eat?" Qin Ming said with a gloomy face:
"Could it be your prefect...... Fill your pockets and get the food money into your own pocket? ”
"How so?" The prefect said: "Lord Langzhong, this official has never been corrupt, and every allocation of grain money is for the victims of the disaster. ”
Qin Ming smiled: "If that's the case, then it's the best, so let's take the prefect to take the official to see the grain in the warehouse?" ”
"This ...... It's getting dark today, so why don't you go see it tomorrow? The prefect said embarrassedly.
Qin Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, just tomorrow!" Then please trouble the prefect, arrange a place for the official to live. ”
"It's easy to say, Lord Langzhong has worked hard all the way, please be sure to rest well today." The prefect said.
Not long after, in a cleaned room in the mansion, Qin Ming and Yan Lingfei were sitting and drinking tea.
Yan Lingfei was puzzled and said, "Why did you only go to see it tomorrow?" Now go to the warehouse, don't you catch it? ”
Qin Ming shook his head: "Silly girl, what I have to deal with now is not just this prefect, but the entire network of interests......
To put it simply, what I want to see now is not that there is no grain in the granary, but that the granary is full of grain. ”
"They have embezzled all the grain money, how can the granary be full of grain?" Yan Lingfei was puzzled.
Qin Ming smiled: "If you go to see it now, you will definitely not see it, but tomorrow it will be full of grain." Wait and see, the show has just begun, and I'll let them spit out what they eat! The latest chapter of "Rebirth of the Joyful King's Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
