Fang Yuan waited in Fengyang for a month, and Hu Qi, who went to Zhejiang to check the emergency grain reserves, finally returned in a hurry.

The stakes were very high, Hu Qi rushed back to Fengyang, and he didn't even go back to the mansion to rest, he immediately dragged his tired body and went directly to the governor's mansion to meet Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan saw that he had returned in the dust, and hurriedly ordered the maid to serve tea.

Hu Qi drank a few sips of tea, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then reported in a panic, "Regent, something is wrong!" The emergency reserve granary of Zhejiang Juntian was burned down! ”

These days, Fang Yuan has been worried about the chaos of the emergency reserve grain, but now he is afraid of something, the granary has been burned, and the 800,000 stone of grain ......

Fang Yuan got up angrily, pointed at Hu Qi and shouted, "Old Hu, make it clear!" ”

Hu Qi said in a trembling voice, "Regent, before Jinyiwei arrived at the granary of Juntian, a fire broke out in the granary, and half of the twenty large granaries were burned. The sergeant guarding the military field reported that the weather was dry and there was a sudden fire. ”

Fang Yuan forcibly suppressed his anger and continued to ask, "What about the grain reserves?" What about the commissariat officer? What about the people in charge of escorting the granary?! ”

Hu Qi said hesitantly, "Regent, there are only 400,000 stone left in the reserve grain. At the scene of the Jinyi Guard's inspection, the body of the military commissariat was also found in the granary. There are also the people who escorted the military rations to Fengyang before, 86 people died in the granary, and 37 people are missing. When Jin Yiwei traced home, all of these thirty-seven people died mysteriously, and none of them survived! ”

Before the surprise inspection of Jinyiwei, the granary suddenly caught fire, which was clearly deliberate. In order to cope with the inspection and launder corruption, these people in the Ming Dynasty could do nothing.

In the palace fire during the Wanli period, the first three halls and the harem were burned down; During the Apocalypse, the arsenal exploded, killing 40,000 people in the capital. All of them are masterpieces made by these corrupt officials and eunuchs in the palace.

Now these people dare to draw a scoop on the gourd and calculate on his Fang Yuan's head!

Fifty thousand people starved to death before, and Fang Yuan was still hesitating to turn his face with the independent accounting team and Ma Lin. Now they found that their appetite was too great, and they embezzled 400,000 stone military rations.

Half of the military rations for emergency food reserves have been reduced, and there is no more food to borrow food and provide disaster relief. If you can't borrow grain, how can you appease Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, and how can you help the people of Huai'an Mansion? If there is no disaster relief, what will the 300,000 affected people in the coastal areas of Fujian rely on to survive? !

Where is this simple death of one or two hundred lives? The 50,000 people who starved to death outside Fengyang City, as well as the 800,000 people in Huai'an Mansion and Fujian who were waiting to be fed, this is a child's play with the lives of nearly a million people!

This is a heinous crime that cannot be forgiven in any dynasty!

Not killing is not enough to stabilize the regime, and the people are angry!

"Bang Bang!"

Fang Yuan was furious, swept all the folds and documents on the table to the ground, and kicked over the army case again.

Hu Qi was so frightened that he didn't dare to take a breath, so he hurriedly bent down to pick up the folds and documents that fell on the ground for him, and then put them on the table, "Regent, what should Jinyiwei do next?!" ”

"Wow! If I really want to be Wanli and Apocalypse, I won't track it down! ”

A thick murderous aura flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes, and he shouted angrily, "This matter has nothing to do with Jinyiwei, Lao Hu, immediately call Jing Jie and Zhang Ying to discuss the big matter!" ”

This time Fang Yuan was really angry, before the founding of the country, a group of vested interest groups dared to openly embezzle, colluding with internal and external parties. His regime prides itself on being incorruptible, how much more honest can it be than the Ming Dynasty? At least before Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the world, no one would dare to embezzle hundreds of thousands of stone military rations.

He now understands Zhu Yuanzhang, why do you want to kill thousands of people to fight corruption, it seems that not killing is really not enough to make these corrupt officials remember!

It's about the Xuanjia Army, and the Jinyi Guard, who can only be responsible for criminal investigation and public security maintenance on weekdays, is no longer useful, and the army must go out.

Jing Jie and Zhang Ying hurried to the Governor's Palace, and as soon as they entered the lobby, Jing Jie immediately asked the reason.

Hu Qi said 1510 about the situation of Jinyiwei going to Zhejiang Juntian to investigate, and Jing Jie was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he heard it, and his whole body was trembling. As the commander of the Xuanjia Army, Juntian actually had such a shocking case, and he couldn't escape the blame!

Although Zhang Ying was also annoyed, some of the second monks were confused, what does this have to do with him? Why didn't Fang Yuan call Gan Hui, who was implicated, to come, but called him over.

Jing Jie half-knelt on the ground and bowed his head to plead guilty, "Boss, I ask for punishment!" ”

"Smack!"

Fang Yuan slapped the case heavily and scolded angrily, "Third brother, if you don't govern the army strictly, of course you will be punished, a hundred military canes are indispensable, I will record it on your account first!" Now you say, how should Zhejiang's chief soldier Ma Lin, and the five thousand Xuanjia sergeants who guard the military fields in Zhejiang, be dealt with?! ”

Jing Jie said in a deep voice, "Arrest Malin immediately, and then implement military management in the Shaoxing military field, and I will personally lead 30,000 Xuanjia troops to arrest people, and none of the soldiers involved can be spared!" ”

Fang Yuan closed his eyes slightly, and said lightly, "Third brother, Ma Lin is the veteran general of the Xuanjia Army, and he was the commander of the infantry battalion. Now many of the thousands and hundreds of households in the infantry battalion were pulled out of his hands. If Ma Lin is captured without evidence, will the Xuanjia Army's infantry battalion be fluctuating? ! If there is a commotion in the army, will there be another infighting?! ”

Fang Yuan's worries were not unreasonable, now there were 170,000 Xuanjia troops in Fengyang, and the infantry battalion accounted for 100,000, more than half. If something goes wrong in the infantry camp, it will also cause a lot of turmoil. Although I don't know how much influence Ma Lin has in the infantry camp, it is better to be cautious and lay out first and then arrest people than to have a showdown in a hurry.

Jing Jie came to his senses, he was really angry and thoughtless when he was about to arrest Ma Lin in a hurry just now, and he hurriedly asked, "Boss, please instruct!" ”

Fang Yuan said in a cold voice, "If you want to arrest Ma Lin, you must first clean his basic connections in the infantry camp, and clean up all the thousands and hundreds of households that still have personal contact with him, and then arrest Ma Lin and bring him to justice." Now, the time is not ripe, let's pretend not to investigate the burning of the granary, and put the marin back to Zhejiang first! ”

The granary was burned, compared to the fire in the Wanli Palace, the Apocalypse explosion was really a trivial matter, and it was reasonable for Fang Yuan not to pursue it. Although Ma Lin would be suspicious, he would not have thought that Fang Yuan had already planned to settle accounts with him.

"A few days before Ma Lin's departure, he privately met which thousand households or hundreds of households in the army, or which thousand households or hundreds of households went to meet him privately, and all of them were recorded. After Ma Lin left, Commander Zhang immediately began to arrest people! ”

Jing Jie understood Fang Yuan's intentions, a veteran in the army like Ma Lin, even if he wanted to be arrested, he had to pay attention to ways and means to minimize the impact. Ma Lin is a thief with a weak heart, and before leaving, he will inevitably contact the old people who are familiar with him again, which is a great opportunity to expose Ma Lin's power in the infantry camp.

Zhang Ying had been playing soy sauce on the side for so long, and now he finally understood the reason why Fang Yuan recruited him. He is now the commander of the infantry battalion, and he must take the lead in carrying out a rectification and purge in the infantry battalion, and eradicate all the forces and connections of Malin in the infantry battalion.

Zhang Ying hurriedly came out and gave his hand, "Regent, I will go down immediately and make all preparations." As soon as the regent and Jing Shuai speak, as soon as the list arrives, I will arrest people immediately! ”

After Jing Jie, Zhang Ying, and Hu Qi went, Fang Yuan was still angry, sat at the big desk, pondered for a long time, and finally said, "Old Ma, go and invite the head of the cabinet, Wang Ge Lao, and Shen Xiang, the head of the household department. ”

The original plan of 800,000 stone military rations now has only 400,000 stone left, and the shortage of 400,000 stone military rations in the middle must be filled with ideas. Otherwise, how should we explain to Zhu Yihai, who is waiting to borrow grain, to the people affected by the disaster in Fujian, and to the 150,000 Xuanjia soldiers in Fengyang? !
