Chapter 435: State Officer
But where do they look like they have been rescued in this miserable situation now?
"Those corrupt officials are really hateful!" Mu Yunqian frowned and said.
"At that time, the case will be investigated, and the king will let them spit out the embezzled silver one by one." Li Changfeng was not as indignant as Mu Yunqian, but he was also a little unhappy in his heart, squinting his eyes and speaking, with a bit of danger in his tone.
Seeing that the people of Liangzhou are struggling and the people are displaced, but those corrupt officials are comfortably pocketing the money for disaster relief, how can people not be angry?
Li Changfeng first went to check on the suspicious officials, and after confirming the person, he found the other party.
The person they suspect is the governor of Liangzhou, and he is in charge of the entire Liangzhou, so it is no wonder that he acts so unscrupulously.
If it weren't for the letter received by the official in the court, they would not have found out everything that happened in Liangzhou, and they would only think that the disaster situation here had stabilized.
Li Changfeng was about to take Mu Yunqian with him, but this time Mu Yunqian didn't agree, and only said: "I just saw that the faces of the victims on the street were very pale, and I thought that there should be a lot of people infected with wind and cold, I happened to bring a medicine box this time, so I want to open a small stall for free clinics, and I can save one." ”
"It's okay, then you should be careful, this king will send two guards to follow you." Li Changfeng thought that he was going to interrogate this time, and Mu Yunqian was okay when he was not there, so he nodded.
……
Li Changfeng stood at the gate of the state capital, let his subordinates go in to report, and soon saw a slightly chubby middle-aged man walking out of it, and when he looked at him, his face was full of flattery.
"I don't know that His Royal Highness King Li is coming, it is really a loss of welcome, a loss of welcome." The governor walked out, smiled flatteringly, and said, "Please come in and sit down." ”
Li Changfeng bowed his head slightly and walked out with him.
After entering the mansion, the governor quickly ordered his subordinates to prepare tea, and said politely to Li Changfeng: "The prince came in a hurry, and there is no good tea in the mansion of the lower officials, so please ask the prince to reluctantly take a look." ”
Li Changfeng looked around the main hall in front of him, and there were some extremely precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and sneered in his heart, he also recognized some of these antiques, he was an ordinary state official, if he just took the imperial court's money, I am afraid that he would not be able to afford two such antiques in his life.
The disgust in his heart became more and more disgusted, Li Changfeng didn't pay attention to his flattery, and went straight to the point:
"There is no need for tea, this king came this time to ask you, where is the batch of official silver sent by the emperor for disaster relief? According to the king, the amount of silver was enough for the people to repair their houses, but why are they all displaced now! ”
"This ......" The official's face changed, and then he said with some confusion: "Is there any misunderstanding on the part of the prince?" Xia Guan did not receive the so-called disaster relief official silver at all, and the people are now homeless, and Xia Guan's heart is also very anxious, and he subsidizes a lot of silver! If there was money for disaster relief, this would not be the case now......"
What the state official said was very true, with a sad look on his face, if it wasn't for Li Changfeng's investigation in advance, coupled with this extremely extravagant main hall, he would almost have believed it. Night Night Chinese
"Didn't receive it? The records of the household department are clear, the official silver has been safely delivered to Liangzhou, and it has not been seized by several neighboring counties on the way, what can you explain about this? Li Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, staring straight at each other with a sharp gaze.
"Xia Guan really doesn't know anything," the state official didn't care what he said, just shook his head blankly, and said: "Xia Guan has indeed never received the so-called disaster money, as for what the prince said, I don't know......
"This king advises you not to pretend to be confused here, you have now taken the initiative to admit the crime of corruption, and then return to the capital to report to the emperor, at least you can be lightly punished, but if you refuse to admit it to death, let this king find evidence, the result will not be so good."
Li Changfeng looked at the other party and spoke slowly, with a threatening tone in his tone.
The state official's face did not show any panic, and he looked like he had a clear conscience: "Lord Wang, it is true that the lower officials have not received the official money for disaster relief, if you don't believe it, just go and check, the lower officials are not afraid of shadows." ”
"Okay, this is what you said, if this king finds out something, don't regret it......" Li Changfeng is still confident in the results he found, so he naturally won't believe his words, and when he saw that the other party was unwilling to speak, he said.
The other party didn't want to admit it, so Li Changfeng turned around and left, and went to check it himself.
It's just that the results of the investigation made him even worse.
At noon that day, he took Mu Yunqian to find an inn for lunch.
While waiting for the food to be served, Mu Yunqian took the initiative to ask him: "Then the state official can admit it?" Did you find anything? ”
"Naturally, I don't recognize it," Li Changfeng shook his head and said with a frown: "After the king left, he sent someone to investigate, but the state official covered it up well, and the king's people didn't find any flaws, and there were ......"
Speaking of this, he paused, and then continued: "There seems to be someone behind the state official, and this king sent someone to investigate, but it seems that there are some obstacles, and besides, it is impossible for him to hide the matter so well as a small state official. ”
"Come to think of it, if every powerful backer behind him, how dare he, a small state official, swallow such a large sum of silver." Mu Yunqian also nodded and agreed.
After speaking, she looked at the man beside her with a helpless look, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and said, "You have to thank me this time...... I found you the proof. ”
"What evidence?" Li Changfeng's eyes lit up, and he suddenly turned his head to look at her.
Mu Yunqian turned his head and asked the two guards outside to call a young man in, and then explained: "I just met him during a free clinic on the street, he was originally a small guy in the state government, and he accidentally witnessed the state official embezzling official money, so he was about to beat people to death, he was fated and escaped." ”
"Because I was seriously injured, I heard that I was in the free clinic, and I specially found ......"
Mu Yunqian slowly told him the ins and outs of the matter, Li Changfeng's face suddenly burst into surprise, and he almost couldn't help the urge to hug the person in front of him, "Xiao Qian'er, you are really the lucky star of this king!" ”
"In front of the public, you calm down." Li Changfeng became excited, and his voice became louder, attracting many people around him to watch, which made Mu Yunqian a little embarrassed.
