Chapter 334: Windfall
Han Fei's propaganda and pacification of Jinghu this time has three main tasks, appeasing the people, punishing corrupt officials, and exterminating the White Lotus cultists, pacifying the people is the core, but if it is not for punishing corrupt officials and exterminating the White Lotus cultists, it will not be able to completely calm down the chaotic situation. Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that corrupt officials and corrupt officials colluded with the White Lotus Sect, but this is speculation after all, and there is no direct evidence.
Even if they use other evidence to catch a few small fish and shrimp, if they bite and do not admit that they have embezzled the money and food for disaster relief, and do not find evidence, they cannot be convicted. The key issue now is to find out where the money and food are going and the relationship with the relevant government officials, so that they can be wiped out.
However, so far, Han Fei can be said to have achieved nothing.
Han Fei had a premonition that the news from Qincha Xingyuan might be a breakthrough in the puzzle, so he temporarily decided to give up entering the Yuezhou capital city and make a detour to approach Qincha Xingyuan.
The group hurried along the Yangtze River in the direction of Jingzhou Mansion, arrived at the position between Jingzhou Mansion and Yuezhou Mansion, and joined the four guards who had come from Qincha.
"My lord, this is the entourage of the former Lord Chincha!" When the four guards saw Han Fei, they immediately reported it.
Han Fei stared at a middle-aged man for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "You are the entourage with adults?" ”
The middle-aged man bowed to the ground and said excitedly: "Lord Qiqi Qincha, the little Hefu is the housekeeper of Hefu, and he followed my master to Jinghu, Lord Qincha, my lord was not attacked and killed by the rebels, but was murdered by those corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Yuezhou Mansion, please avenge my lord!" ”
Han Fei's heart was shocked when he heard this, the local officials dared to murder Lord Qincha, this is a big crime of the clan! He steadied himself and said, "Is there any evidence for what you said?" As long as there is evidence, this official will return justice to adults! ”
"Thank you, Lord Chincha!" He Fu took out a cloth bag from his bosom and said: "Lord Qincha, my lord has found out that the official warehouses of Yuezhou Mansion, Changde Mansion, and Jingzhou Mansion have serious deficits before he was killed, especially the official warehouse of Yuezhou Mansion, which was almost sold out by the officials of Yuezhou Mansion, and the master was killed when he was ready to investigate further, which was obviously done by those corrupt officials!" The old man felt a premonition of crisis before he was killed, and specially handed over this file to the small one for safekeeping, please check it out! ”
"Guancang?"
Han Fei's heart is bright, he has been looking for the whereabouts of the grain these days, but he has missed the official warehouse. Presumably, the grain in the official warehouse was sold out by corrupt officials, but the disaster relief grain allocated by the imperial court was supplemented, which not only made up for the previous deficit of greedy ink, but also made the investigators unable to find evidence of their greed for relief food.
Han Fei currantly flipped through the files obtained by the investigation of his predecessor, and said hatefully: "It's really a great crime, fortunately, Skynet is restored and not leaked, this official must severely punish that group of villains!" ”
After a pause, he said to He Fu: "This official must show the merits of Lord He to the imperial court, for the sake of secrecy, you will follow this official during this time." In addition, have the witnesses mentioned in this file who testify to the deficit of the official warehouse been killed? ”
"As long as you can avenge the old man, the little one is willing to obey the orders of the adult! Lord Qincha, the witness who was in deficit in the official warehouse, was taken care of by the little one at that time, and the little one learned that the old man had been killed, so he hid the witness and the evidence as soon as possible, and the little one was willing to take the adult to investigate! ”
"Well, with these evidences, you won't die in vain!"
Han Fei pondered for a while, and sent two followers to Ling'er and Jinyi Mansion respectively, and then said to Hefu: "In order to avoid long nights and dreams, you should take this official to the witnesses now!" ”
He Fu led Han Fei and others to a small market town nearly 100 miles away from Yuezhou Mansion, pointed to a private house, and said: "The witness is a young couple with two children, and they are also the son and daughter-in-law of the head of the official warehouse of Yuezhou Mansion. ”
"Okay, let's go meet them!"
A couple and two children in the house panicked when they saw so many people breaking into the house, and they didn't settle down until they saw Hefu.
"Mr. and Mrs. Xian are coming to meet Lord Qincha, so that Lord Zun's grievances can be revealed!" He Fu shouted at the young couple.
The young couple was shocked when they heard this, and then knelt down to Han Fei and said, "Ask Lord Qincha to make decisions for the little people!" ”
Han Fei glanced at it and said in a harmonious voice: "You all get up, this official is ordered by the emperor to pacify Jinghu, an important task is to punish corrupt officials and make decisions for the people, as long as the evidence is conclusive, this official will definitely uphold justice for Lord Lingzun!" ”
"Thank you, Lord Chincha! Before Xiaomin's father was wrongfully killed, he left a few account books, and the small ones were taken to the adults! The young couple thanked them again and again, went into the back room and took out a cloth bag, and handed it to Han Fei.
Han Fei opened the cloth bag, there were three thick account books inside, he flipped through several pages, which recorded in detail when and who was ordered by whom to come to the official warehouse to carry grain, and there were also several handwritten warrants from the prefect of Yuezhou. After reading it, he was overjoyed, and with these three account books, he could basically be sure that the disaster relief grain was transported by corrupt officials into the empty official warehouse. Although these three account books cannot directly convict corrupt officials, they are a major breakthrough, and with this direction, there is a direction for the investigation of cases.
"Before that group of corrupt officials were brought to justice, the Xian couple and He Fu and others lived here, and it was not safe, so they all went to Qin with their officials, and when the case is solved, you will return to your hometown!"
With this important breakthrough, there was no need for Han Fei to continue the private visit of Weifu, leading a group of people to rush to the Qincha Xingyuan station, and ordered the Jinyi Qianhu who assisted in the investigation to meet in the Qincha Xingyuan.
Jin Yi Qianhu rushed to the Qincha Xingyuan the next day, Han Fei showed three account books and the file of the previous Qincha investigation, and said: "The matter is already very clear, the local officials first greedily sold the grain in the official warehouse, and then used the disaster relief grain allocated by the imperial court to offset it, there is a personal warrant from the Yuezhou prefect, the Yuezhou prefect must be the mastermind, and now it is necessary to find out, how many officials are involved!" In addition, the death of the predecessor Qin Cha may also be related to the case of the deficit of the official warehouse, and it will also be investigated clearly! ”
An important task of the Jinyi Mansion is to investigate and deal with major cases, and only when major cases are found can there be opportunities to be valued by the emperor. Stealing and selling grain from the official warehouse, greedy for money and grain for disaster relief, and murdering Lord Qincha, all of which are major cases that shocked the government and the opposition, and the thousand households in brocade clothes are like cats that smell fishy, and their eyes are shining.
"Lord Qincha, I will definitely find out this case!"
"Good!"
Han Fei has always adhered to the purpose of handing over technical work to professionals, and it is naturally the most appropriate to investigate this case and hand it over to Jinyi Mansion, which is equivalent to giving Jinyi Mansion a chance to make meritorious contributions, which can be regarded as selling a favor.
"Lord Qianhu, as a last resort, don't alarm those corrupt officials for the time being, prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry, burning the disaster relief food, and after the secret investigation is clear, let's wipe them out in an instant!"
"Obedience!"
Han Fei didn't put the whole treasure on Jinyi Mansion, in order to find out the case as soon as possible, he also ordered Ling'er to mobilize the main forces of the Purple Mansion to investigate the matter.
The matter of punishing corrupt officials and finding food for disaster relief finally came to an eyebrow, and Han Fei's heart was a little calmer, and he was thinking about how to deal with the White Lotus Sect. At this time, Lan'er quietly walked into his camp tent and said, "Uncle, the slave maid has contacted the master of the order, she has rushed to the vicinity of Qincha Xingyuan, and asked you to meet in the grove five miles away in the east at the second watch tonight!" ”
