"Lord Ye, don't use the knife, leave this matter to the old man!" Just when Ye Guan's guards were about to fight with the soldiers of Baoding Mansion, Wang Jing, the governor of Baoding Mansion, did not sit in a sedan chair, so he ran over from the city gate.

Ye Guanshun went to the prestige. Wang Jing, a fifty-year-old governor of Baoding dressed in a scarlet official uniform and embroidered with a golden pheasant, ran over panting.

"It turned out to be Lord Wang, your new official did a good job, the first fire was to burn these victims, right? I wonder if Lord Wang's fire can allow these victims to survive this winter? Ye looked at the visitor, sneered, and then said very shamelessly. Ye Guan recognized this old man, this old man's name is Wang Jing, the official worship of Nanjing Hongluqing and the official title of the right capital imperial history, when he was in the capital, Ye Guan had several meetings with him. This Lord Wang has just been transferred to the position of governor of Baoding. Originally, I heard that this Wang Jing was a Qing official, but I didn't expect Ye Guan to come to Baoding Mansion to see such a scene, so Ye Guan spoke very politely.

"Lord Ye, the old man has just returned from the capital to report on his work, and this order to stop the victims was not given by the old man. If Lord Ye can't trust me, the old man can jointly sign an excerpt with Lord Ye to the cabinet, so that you and the old man can deal with this matter together, Lord Ye will stay in Baoding Mansion for a few days, and the old man will inevitably give Lord Ye an explanation. Although Wang Jing ran sweating profusely and was sneered at by Ye Guan, he didn't mind at all, but asked Ye Guan to stay and witness with him.

Ye Guan saw that Wang Jing was so generous, and he didn't mind that he was young and a fourth-grade official, but he sneered at him as a dignified governor from the second grade, and he felt a little guilty about his recklessness just now. It seems that this Wang Jing is at least not a mediocre official, and the disaster relief food allocated by the imperial court can be seen at a glance and it is clear that it has not been distributed to the victims. He is just a passing Qincha, and Wang Jing, the governor of Baoding, who has nothing to do with him, is not afraid of exposing the corruption of officialdom in Baoding Mansion at all, and has no secret intention to check the officialdom of Baoding Mansion with him. So he was embarrassed to say at the moment: "Lord Wang, I'm really sorry, Xiaguan just saw so many refugees without food and clothing, and the prefect of Baoding didn't let them enter the city, nor did they give them porridge." Xiaguan wanted to give porridge, but this Li Governor wanted to drive away all the victims, so Xiaguan just lost his temper just now, and he was really sorry. ”

"Lord Ye's mood is understandable. Not much else. I must be in charge of these victims. There is also this Li Governor's Mansion, the old man will also give the cabinet an excerpt, and ask the Holy Son of Heaven and the people from the old cabinet to carefully investigate his political performance, if it is a corrupt person, the old man will be the first to take him down! Wang Jing didn't care about Ye Guan's collision with him at all, he just waved his hand casually, but he was very dissatisfied with the prefect of Baoding. Wang Jing himself is from a poor family, and he is upright, and he is the most disdainful of these mediocre officials and corrupt officials, just because he has just taken office as the governor of Baoding, so he still does not know the situation of officials at all levels in Baoding Prefecture, so he did not rashly remove these moths.

As soon as that Li Governor heard Wang Jing's words, he knew that he was finished. Most of the current officials are a piece of shit, it's okay if you don't check it, but if you check it, they must all stink to death, and they don't stop swinging, and their faces are covered with sweat in winter. He couldn't stand on his feet, and he collapsed on the ground.

"Now that Lord Wang has said this, Xia Guan believes that Lord Wang must be an honest and trustworthy gentleman. Xiaguan has the emperor's order, and it is definitely not possible to stay in Baoding Mansion for a long time, and when Xiaguan went out of Beijing, his colleagues in Beijing also gave a lot of Cheng Yi, so when the official made a little contribution to these victims. I only hope that Lord Wang can really be the old and the old, the young and the young. The lower officials mentioned here that these victims are grateful for the great kindness of Lord Wang. "Ye Guan himself still has official business, and Emperor Hongzhi didn't let himself be the governor of the Eight Prefectures to investigate unjust, false and wrongful cases everywhere, and he is now equivalent to exile. So since Wang Jing promised to do things well, there was no need for Ye Guan to really supervise here.

Ye Guan thought very well, but when he was about to leave the ground, something strange happened. When they learned that this great benevolent person for disaster relief was a great official, more and more victims gathered at the city gate to surround Ye Guan Tuan and prevent them from leaving. Even if Wang Jing shouted out his throat and relied on the seal letter of the governor of Baoding, it could not calm the doubts and desires of the victims a little.

"Plop" and "plop", I don't know who knelt down first, and soon, the gate of Baoding Mansion was full of black and unseen victims. The cries of the victims reached into the sky, enough to make those who saw it sad and shed tears.

"Please call the shots." "Please save us, sir." "My family is starving to death!" "My child was stolen and eaten by someone else!" The victims fell to their knees and wailed. They came all the way from Henan, except for some scattered soup kitchens from the Great Benevolence House along the way, most of the prefectures and counties drove them out, and they ate everything they could eat on the way, whether it was snakes, insects, rats, ants or grass roots and bark, they did not let go of any of them. I was so hungry that I ate dirt in my stomach. I didn't get hungry after eating soil, but I don't know how many people died after eating it. Later, there was really no choice, and some of the victims began to steal or rob children from other victims to kill and cook them. It is said that it is a flight, and the momentum is to put it bluntly, it is the process of self-destruction of a group of people, and when people starve to death and grind to death, these victims will be gone. This is also a good way for most of the local officials in the past dynasties to understand it, which not only solves the problem of disaster victims gathering to affect local law and order, but also unknowingly swallows the disaster relief food allocated by the imperial court. The victims finally met a big official who could make decisions for them, and they wouldn't let Ye Guan go.

Wang Jing knew that the Baoding Mansion had lost its trust with the people. In desperation, he could only ask Ye Guan to discuss a plan together. What can Ye Guan do for a while. had to suggest that Wang Jing let the people eat a full meal first. It doesn't matter if he buys military food or civilian food. If necessary, search the entire city's homes. Who has hoarded the odds. Food was confiscated for disaster relief. Then all the officials suspected of this case of embezzlement of grain relief were arrested and strictly investigated.

I have to say that Ye Guan's idea is a stinky idea, and there are no less than tens of thousands of victims at the gate of Baoding Mansion. The imperial court will allocate at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver or materials for disaster relief. But look at the appearance of these hungry people. I haven't even drunk porridge for a few days. Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Those who dare to be greedy must be characters with extraordinary energy. At least it's not worse than the average person from the second grade. Wang Jing himself is from the second grade, but he knows that Wang Jing is from the second grade, and he is still an honest and honest second-grade official, and there are still people who dare to privately swallow these disaster relief materials under Wang Jing's nose, and the absolute power is extraordinary. Just like during the Republic of China, Jiang Gongzi went to Shanghai to have a big tiger, but the big tiger fought to the end and found that it was actually his cousin who was indeed the biggest tiger. There is a big corrupt official in a place, then it is definitely not the corrupt official who has been caught in the net that is the biggest, even if he is a prefect, even if he is a political envoy, he is just a little cannon fodder, there must be people above him, but I don't know if the court can or whether he has the heart to fight it.

"Lord Ye, why don't you do it. The old man and you will go up to the cabinet to the emperor of the cabinet, explain the situation here, and then see what the cabinet and the emperor say, what we will do. Anyway, Baoding Mansion is not far from Beijing, and the edict will come back tomorrow afternoon, what do you think? Wang Jing also felt that Ye Guan was a benevolent gentleman, and this case of food relief and corruption must be very deep, so Wang Jing thought that it would be best to deal with this prince celebrity.

The cabinet's turnaround came quickly. At noon the next day, when Ye Guan and Wang Jing led everyone to give porridge at the gate of the post station, the little eunuch came with an excerpt that had been annotated by Emperor Hongzhi. The excerpt stated that Ye Guanquan was the prefect of Baoding Mansion and the governor of Beizhili was appointed as the imperial historian, and he and Wang Jing dealt with the case of corruption of Baoding Mansion's grain relief.

It seems that Ye Guan's year will be spent in Baoding Mansion.

……………………

In the yamen of the prefect of Baoding, in front of the Jiangya Mountain and sea chart in the lobby, there is a bookcase under the high hanging plaque of the mirror, which is supposed to be the prefect's bookcase. However, there are two book cases today, on the left is Wang Jing, the governor of Baoding, and on the right is the right to know the prefect of Baoding and the governor of Beizhili according to the imperial history Yeguan. And the group of people who started with the attack were officials at all levels in Baoding Prefecture.

"To a colleague, this is Lord Yu Shi Ye Guanye, the inspector sent by the Holy Lord and the cabinet to investigate the case of embezzlement of food relief." After Wang Jing saw that the officials at all levels had arrived, he introduced Ye Guan's identity to everyone.

"Lord Ye, Lord Ye" As soon as the officials at all levels heard that this was the imperial history of the Northern Zhili, they all consciously stood up and greeted him. Ye Guan also returned the salute one by one.

"Hey, why didn't the officials of the Yu Division come? Where's the treasurer? Wang Jing was the local governor of Baoding Mansion, and when officials at all levels were in contact with Ye Guan, he found that the treasurer of the Yu Division, who managed the distribution and statistics of grain, did not come.

Hearing Wang Jing ask this, not only did Wang Jing feel strange in his heart, but even Ye Guan knew that the first person directly involved in this corruption case might appear, and it was very likely that the person involved had already been killed.

"Back to the words of the Governor. The treasurer of the Yu Division occasionally felt a cold today, so he didn't come on leave, do you need to call him? A money and grain master from the Baoding prefect's yamen stepped forward to reply. Originally, the master was not an official of the imperial court, so he couldn't appear on such an occasion, but Ye Guan had just arrived, and his eyes were black, so he could only keep these masters first and see if there was anything that could be used.

"Well, the important matter discussed today is inseparable from his secretary who manages the grain, so send someone to call him." Wang Jing said that he wanted a servant in the prefect of Baoding to call the Yu Si. "Lord Wang, my guard knows how to investigate and compile things, why don't you let this guard of mine go and call him with this officer?" It's not that Ye Guan hasn't watched TV, usually at this time, important witnesses or people involved must have been cut off from clues, so it is better to send a Jinyi guard who can investigate the case to see if there is any gain.

"Well, Master Ye is here, some things are unfamiliar, it's good to send someone." Wang Jing groaned slightly, he was not a novice in the officialdom, so he agreed to Ye Guan's request.

After a while, the official who went to find Yu Si and Ye Guan's guard returned. But no one else came with him.

"If you go back to your lordship, then Yu Si is dead." Jin Yiwei stepped forward to reply.

"Sure enough, it's still a step too late" This is a sentence in the TV series that Ye Guan thought of, but he didn't expect to use it on himself today.
