Chapter Twenty-Eight: Moths
Coming slowly, returning in a hurry, the same route, only half the time to rush back to the mansion. Without waiting for www.biquge.info the carriage to stop, Wen Bin jumped out of the carriage, and after landing, he stumbled and almost fell.
"Wenhou, be careful!" Liu Jun's voice sounded behind Wen Bin.
After Wen Bin stood firm, he waved his hand to signal Liu Jun to jump out of the carriage quickly, and then walked towards the mansion without looking back. Along the way, Wen Bin's face was gloomy, and his mouth kept muttering something.
"Team Zheng Guan Yong, I've seen Wen Hou!" A voice came from the front, interrupting Wen Bin's thoughts.
Wen Bin stopped when he heard this, looked up, and after seeing the person clearly, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly said: "Guan Teamzheng, Ben Hou has something to do!" ”
"Wenhou, please speak!" Guan Yongshi gave a military salute and said with a solemn expression.
"Arrange for a soldier to go to the barracks outside the city, and after finding Captain Zheng, ask him to come to the house to talk about it, and Benhou has something to discuss! The situation is urgent, and there must be no delay! ”
"Order!" After speaking, Guan Yong turned to face the two soldiers accompanying him, and after whispering an order, one soldier left quickly.
"Wen Hou, someone has arranged for someone to go to the barracks, I don't know what else Wen Hou has to order?"
Wen Bin kept looking at the departing soldiers, and when Guan Yong's voice sounded, Wen Bin retracted his gaze, turned his head and said, "When Captain Zheng arrives, you quickly bring him to see Ben Hou!" Nothing else! Guan Team, you continue to patrol! ”
"Order!" Guan Yong gave another military salute, and then led the soldiers into the distance, continuing to patrol the mansion.
At this time, Wen Bin's face looked slightly better, and he exhaled a slightly turbid breath. Not long after, Wen Bin and Liu Jun returned to the main house, the latter continued to patrol around the main house, while the former walked towards the door of the main house, and as soon as he stepped into the house, he heard a coquettish voice.
"How can that be, bastards! They ...... "In the middle of the sentence, the speaker noticed that someone had entered the main house, and he hurriedly stopped."
"Wenhou!"
"Childe!"
After seeing the person clearly, two voices sounded in the house, one in front and one in the back.
"What's going on? Zeng Chen, how did you gain from this trip? Wen Bin asked Zeng Chen as he walked towards the house.
"Returning to Wenhou! The subordinates were fortunate not to be dishonored, and they saw the local Ming Wei rudder. From him, a lot of intelligence was gathered! ”
"Great, what's the information?" Wen Bin just sat down, and when he heard what Zeng Chen said, he immediately stood up again and said excitedly.
In the following time, Zeng Chen told Wen Bin all the information one by one, and when this layer of tulle was gradually lifted, the atmosphere in the room gradually tended to be oppressive and heavy.
The officialdom of Lizhou has long been rotten, there are many turbidity, and there are very few clean! The vast majority of officials do everything they can to make money. Grain, fields, water conservancy, and so on, as long as they are related to gold and silver, are all taken into their arms.
These moths have never cared about the life and death of the people of Lizhou, everything they see, what they hear, and what they think in their hearts is gold and silver! Lizhou was severely affected by this flood, and these corrupt officials should bear the main responsibility.
The embankment was originally the lifeline of the people of Lizhou, but driven by greed, the officials filled their pockets and withheld silver, causing the embankment to turn from a lifeline into a lifeline. When the flood came, the levee was powerless to resist, allowing the flood to ravage and the home to be destroyed.
After the flood, the government and businessmen colluded, and most of the grain in the granary was transferred to the warehouse of the rice merchant, hoping to use this to raise the price of rice and make a fortune for the country. Only a small portion of the food was allocated to help the victims, leaving the people hungry and starving.
They didn't even let go of the grain allocated by the imperial court, and shoddy it, transferring most of the new rice to the granary of the rice merchant, and then taking out the small half of the old rice for disaster relief! Even so, many of the victims were deprived of food and had to feed on leaves and bark.
"These bastards, they really deserve to be killed!" Wen Bin's face was full of anger, and the murderous aura on his body loomed like a substance, and under the influence of this, the whole room was like falling into an ice cellar.
"Wenhou, that's not all! Last year, grain was transferred from Lizhou to the western front, and all indications showed that Bai Zongwu and others withheld at least 30 percent of the grain and grass. ”
"Oh! Is there any evidence? ”
"Back to Wenhou, there is no evidence! Even what I just said, there is no evidence! ”
Hearing this, Fu Xuelan opened her mouth and asked, "Childe, with the current situation in Lizhou, can't you still play the Holy Lord?" ”
"No! I can't hear about it, I have to have the evidence to kill with one blow! Wen Bin shook his head and said with regret.
"It's a pity! It would be nice if there were secret guards planted in the officialdom of Lizhou! Mingwei can only collect some basic information, and if you want to reach the core, you must rely on the dark guard! After saying that, her pretty face was full of regret and anger, and a pair of pink fists continued to compare in the air.
"Haha! With Mingwei here, I'm already very satisfied! Dark Guard? How can it be so easy! Fu Xuelan's appearance of waving her pink fist amused Wen Bin, and as soon as the laughter started, the originally oppressive atmosphere in the room gradually dissipated.
"Humph!" Fu Xuelan glared at Wen Bin fiercely, and let out an angry snort to show her dissatisfaction.
Wen Bin pretended not to hear this angry snort, and continued casually: "Zeng Chen, which county was the hardest hit in this flood? ”
"Dongjing County was the hardest hit, followed by Guanglu County, and then Changyun County."
"Dongjing County! It seems that the current situation in this city should be the most encouraging! ”
"Wen Hou is wrong! The situation in Dongjing County is much better than the other two counties! ”
"Oh! Why? Wen Bin was stunned when he heard this, and then asked puzzledly.
"The county magistrate of Dongjing County is a rare clean official in the officialdom of Lizhou! He was an honest and honest official, and although he had not been in office for a long time, he was highly praised by the people. ”
"Rare! What a rarity! Since it's a prefectural order, then I should have seen him at the dinner! Well...... Could it be him? After Wen Bin thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, he stood up suddenly, and said loudly.
As Wen Bin spoke, he suddenly stood up, startling Fu Xuelan and Zeng Chen. Seeing this, Fu Xuelan hurriedly asked, "Childe has seen him?" ”
"Hmmm! I was very impressed by a few of the officials at the dinner, who seemed out of place with the others, especially one of them, whose face was full of ridicule and mockery, and his eyes were undisguised with disgust! Today, I didn't see him, and it seems that he has returned to the county seat. ”
"Wenhou, since taking office, the county magistrate of Dongjing County has repeatedly reported to the state government to rebuild the embankment, but each time it has been rejected. This time he encountered the flood, perhaps to stop his mouth, and the amount of grain allocated to Dongjing County was the largest, and it was all new rice. ”
While Zeng Chen was talking, Wen Bin was pacing back and forth in the room, and when the former finished speaking, Wen Bin still didn't stop. In order not to disturb Wen Bin's thoughts, Fu Xuelan and Zeng Chen sat there quietly, not daring to make even the slightest sound.
"Did Licheng distribute food today?"
"Back to Wenhou, according to what the helmsman said, grain was indeed distributed this morning, and it was all new rice!"
"Humph! Changyun County and Guanglu County, which county was the most affected? The most hungry? ”
"Changyun County!"
