Chapter 605: Corruption
"Those people are very clever and secretive, and the officials guard each other, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find out. β
"But after the subordinates' overt and covert visits, as well as the comparison of the files in the three law divisions, I finally found some clues. β
According to the analysis of his subordinates, some people in the government and local wealthy families are in concert to transfer the grain used for disaster relief, or privately raise the interest rate, so that the food that the government benefits the people and saves lives has become high-priced grain and life-saving food. β
"It is precisely for this reason that many people do not dare to borrow money from the government, in order to make a living, they do not hesitate to pawn the land, and even go to the wealthy family to borrow money, and accept layers of exploitation!"
"At the end of the day, you can only become nothing. β
"Humph!"
Listening to the report of the man in black, Situ Xing's eyes couldn't help narrowing slightly, and he shot out a wisp of cold light that penetrated his bones, only to see his nostrils dilated, he snorted heavily, and said with a sinister face:
"These people are such big guts!"
"How dare you do such a dirty thing under the nose of this official!"
"Isn't this official's knife bad?"
"Or are their heads iron-headed, and they are not afraid of swords and guns at all?"
The man in black saw that Si Jiao's face had changed greatly, and his body was filled with an indescribable evil aura, and his heart couldn't help but be sudden.
However, although Situ was angry, he still had a little suspicion in his heart. Or in other words, where I can't figure it out, local officials, and wealthy families are blatantly robbing with sticks.
Do they really not take their county dignity seriously?
Or do they have something to rely on?
Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at the man in black who was kneeling on the ground, and asked with some curiosity:
"They did it so blatantly!"
"Aren't you afraid that someone will report to the official?"
"Aren't you afraid that the officials will bring them to justice?"
"Returning to your lordship!"
"Most of the three classes of officials have been corrupted by them, and many people in the yamen have benefited from them!"
"And the vicinity of the county office is also full of their eyeliner, once someone tries to report to the official, he will stop it in advance. β
"It is precisely for this reason that they dare to be so unscrupulous!"
The man in black glanced up at Situ Xing, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still said truthfully.
"What benefits did the local wealthy families give them?"
"Let them sell their conscience and do such corrupt things?"
Situ Xing's eyes couldn't help shrinking, and he asked in a dull voice.
"According to the investigation of his subordinates!"
"Everyone has received no less than a hundred taels!"
"They either use it to buy property, or they use it to squander it!"
"It is precisely because of this that they are so willing to die!"
The man in black had a gloomy look in his eyes and said hurriedly.
"One hundred taels of silver!"
"This money is enough for a family of four to live on for more than ten years. β
"Based on their income, it would take decades to accumulate so much wealth!"
"Wealth touches people's hearts!"
"No wonder these people dare to do such a favoritism!"
"How bold they are!"
"Presumptuous!"
"What presumptuous!"
"These local tycoons should also be killed, they dare to openly bribe public officials, they want to turn their officials blind and deaf!"
"For one's own selfishness. They are trying to turn the entire Zhibei County into a hell on earth!"
"Corruption!"
"This is the corruption of Chiguoguo!"
"It's just a small Zhibei County with a population of no more than tens of thousands!"
"They dare to be so corrupt!"
"If they are in the North County, in the Divine Capital, what will happen to them?"
"If it weren't for the official, I would have felt a little inappropriate in my heart, let you wait for the investigation, I'm afraid the official would still be hidden in his bones now!"
"Check!"
"Be sure to find out!"
"Whoever is implicated, will not be tolerated!"
Situ Xing's eyes widened, his palms slapped heavily on the table, he was angry, and said with a sinister face.
Rumble!
As if feeling the monstrous anger in Situ Xing's heart, the dragon qi in the sky above Zhibei County suddenly boiled, and the dragon-shaped red qi even roared to the sky, letting out a roar like thunder.
The cyan chains fell from the clouds, sending out bursts of chills that made people feel bone-chilling.
"This?"
"What's going on?"
"Why is there an indescribable throbbing in my heart?"
"Could it be that the East Window Incident happened?"
"It shouldn't be!"
"The princes of the northern county take action!"
"The relationship between the top and bottom of the entire county government has been taken care of, and Situ has lost his eyes and ears, even if he has suspicions in his heart, he can't find any clues at all. β
"And in the county government, there is no news so far, obviously Situ Xing has not suspected the whereabouts of the disaster relief food at all recently?"
Sitting in the flower hall, his face was soft, his mouth was wide open, and Wang Shi, who was laughing like Maitreya, suddenly stagnated, and subconsciously looked up at the sky, for some reason, just now, his back actually felt a bone-chilling cold.
It's like being targeted by a lone wolf in the mountains, or a poisonous snake in the desert, with an indescribable sense of apprehension.
But no matter how he looked around, or probed with his thoughts, he didn't find anything, as if everything just now was just his hallucination.
"What just happened?"
"Why do I have bad feelings in my heart?"
"Is it really going to capsize?"
Wang Shi's eyes were gloomy, and his face was full of suspicion. After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't have the slightest eyebrows, but he was not the kind of person who sat still.
"Wang An!"
"Wang An!"
"Wang An!"
With Wang Shi's soft shout, after a while, a young man who was no more than thirty years old but looked extremely capable came to the flower hall, and after greeting Wang Shi, he stood aside with a smile on his face.
"Master, come here clamoring, I don't know what to order!"
"Go!"
"Prepare a car bag for the master!"
"The master is going to Beijun to talk about business in the near future!"
Wang Shi glanced at Wang An with a calm face and said with a smile.
"I didn't hear the master talk about it in the past, why is it suddenly today... β
Wang An looked up at Wang Shi who was drinking tea in surprise, and asked with a look of surprise.
"Go!"
"Let you prepare, you will prepare!"
"Master Ben's business is all over the North County, how can you know about it!"
Seeing Wang An's questioning, Wang Shi waved his palm a little impatiently, and said with an unswerving reprimand in his voice.
"No!"
"A small gaffe!"
"The little ones are going to prepare!"
Seeing that Wang Shi was angry, Wang An didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly bowed down and said flatteringly.
"Yes!"
Obviously, this Wang An won Wang Shi's trust, and when he saw him admit his mistake, Wang Shi did not pursue it, but just lightly bowed his head and commanded emphatically.
"This time the business is in a hurry!"
"Keep an eye on it, don't miss the hour!"
"No!"
Wang An saw that Wang Shi said solemnly, and did not doubt him, so he hurriedly turned around and left, and began to arrange carriages and horses.
Although he didn't know what would happen next, Wang Shi still cautiously thought that it was better to leave this complicated and dangerous environment first.
γγγγγγ
"Since they don't have fear in their hearts, then this official doesn't mind using the steel knife in his hand to teach them what fear is!"
"What else did you find?"
The black-clothed man who knelt on the ground with his head drooping listened to Situ Xing's angry words, and the muscles of his whole body couldn't help but tighten, and he felt silent in his heart for those people, what are you doing badly, you dare to fight the idea of disaster relief food, it is really death.
Seeing Situ Xing's questioning, he hurriedly said:
"Lord Qiyu!"
"According to the investigation of the subordinates, it was found that this incident was not accidental!"
"It's an elaborate conspiracy... β
"Oh!"
"What do you mean by that?"
When Situ Xing heard the man in black say this, his eyes shrank slightly, and his face suddenly showed a look of listening.
After receiving Si's approval, the man in black continued:
"According to the investigation of the subordinates!"
"In this matter, several adults in the northern county are also involved. β
"It is precisely because of the participation of these adults that the talents in the county government will be so easy to defect!"
"North County!"
Situ Xing listened to the familiar words, his eyes couldn't help shrinking, and his face showed a thoughtful look, and after a while, he said faintly:
"That's right!"
"Zhibei County and North County are inextricably linked. β
"The people in the yamen, many of them are cronies and protΓ©gΓ©s of the princes of Beijun, if they don't stir up the storm in it, how dare these people be involved?"
"If it weren't for someone behind them, how could they dare to be so presumptuous?"
"However, what good can Zhibei County do to the chaos?"
Situ Xing's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and his eyes showed a look of thought. After a while, he still didn't have the slightest clue, because in his opinion, those high-ranking officials and masters in Bei County had no reason to intervene and disturb the relief of the victims in Zhibei County.
The political situation of Zhibei County is stable and stable, and it is also good for them to survive the disaster year.
On the contrary, the officials forced the people to rebel, although they themselves bear the brunt, but they are also more or less implicated...
So he really couldn't understand the motives of the princes of the northern counties.
However, Situ Xing is not a person who likes to drill the horns of the bull, since he can't figure it out, he won't think about it, because he firmly believes that the truth of the matter will come out sooner or later.
"The evidence can be gathered, how many people are involved?"
Situ Xing's eyes were gloomy, and he asked with a sad face, and after a while, the expression on his face was distorted, as if he couldn't bear it, and as if he was worried, he asked:
"What about Jin Wansan, is he also involved?"
The man in black looked at the worried look on Situ Xing's face, his eyes couldn't help but stagnate, he didn't expect the ruthless Lord Qinglong to be worried, but he still replied truthfully:
"Lord Qiyu!"
"There are more than 30 officials involved in it, as well as more than 10 people such as account books and small servants, and now the evidence shows that Jin Wansan did not know, and he was also deceived by the people below!"
"That's good!"
"That's good!"
"It's good that Jin Wansan didn't participate in it, otherwise the official would really sing a lost street pavilion and tear his eyes. β
When Situ heard that Jin Wansan was not involved, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, Jin Wansan was not involved.
This also shows that Si Tu did not look away in employing people.
However, Jin Wansan must be punished heavily, because even if he did not participate in it and did not obtain benefits, he was also responsible for negligence.
"Your Excellency!"
"What should my subordinates do?"
After thinking for a while, Situ Xing's fists suddenly clenched, and his eyes showed a decisive look.
The man in black hurriedly stepped forward and asked quietly.
"Isn't itγγγγγ β
Seeing the man in black make a decapitation gesture on his neck with the palm of his hand, Situ Xing's eyes couldn't help but froze, and he showed a look of intent.
But in the end, he shook his head heavily.
"These people are corrupt and pervert the law, and they are in harmony with the local tycoons... Not killing is not enough to anger the people!"
"However, you can't use the knife of the Three Law Divisions!"
"What do you mean?"
The man in black couldn't help but pause, and asked with some curiosity.
"This matter is widely implicated, and there must be a lot of criticism in Zhibei County... β
"This official must arrest all of them with a dignified and upright posture, and return the people to a bright and prosperous situation!"
Situ Xing stood up and said with a solemn face.
"No!"
The man in black was instructed by Si Tu to gently put the paperwork and evidence on the table, and after saluting, his figure disappeared abruptly. It's as if it never happened.

Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
The drums of the general camps in Zhibei County were beaten heavily.
The four battalions of Qinglong, Baihu, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu suddenly moved, and one by one the soldiers wearing light armor, under the leadership of the battalion and the team, quickly gathered at the school field.
"What's going on?"
Fan Gou'er was neatly dressed, holding a meteor hammer, and strode forward like an armored car.
"I don't know!"
"It's an order sent by an adult!"
Yang Shou's face also showed a hint of suspicion, and he said with some surprise.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
Not only was the drum of the general of the camp in Zhibei County beaten, but the drum of Tongtian outside the county government of Zhibei County was also beaten heavily, and the huge drum sound was clearly audible in the entire county.
Shi Bantou, who was sitting at home eating, listened to the drums outside, like thunder, and his face couldn't help but change greatly.
Ignoring the food in front of him, he hurriedly stood up, and rushed out of the door with a waist knife in his hand.
"Master!"
"Let's go after eating, just a few bites!"
Aunt Shi, who was dressed in coarse cloth, looked at the rest of the food on the table and said with some distress.
"It's too late!"
"Your Excellency beats the drum of heaven!"
"There must be something big happening in Zhibei County... β
Shi Bantou opened the courtyard door and said without looking back.
"I must go check it out!"
"The adult has a great kindness to our family, if it weren't for him, Shi Xia's girl would definitely die in Montenegro... β
Aunt Shi, who was originally a little complaining and muttering, suddenly closed her mouth when she heard Shi Bantou mention Shi Xia's matter. Not only did he no longer stop it, but he said with some urging:
"Boss. Then hurry up on the road, don't delay the adult's business... β10
