After yesterday's hard work in the county government, the reputation of Jonway Medicinal Restaurant was restored, the grievances were cleared, and some regular customers came to patronize the business one after another.

The troubles were solved, and Su Jiudong was finally able to sleep peacefully until three o'clock in the morning. Su Jiudong planned to take advantage of this rare time to make a cup of tea and read a book, and also try the rare luxury of "stealing half a day of leisure".

Liu Yunniang brought lunch, and quickly urged Su Jiudong to eat quickly: "Jiudong'er, you eat quickly, otherwise you won't be able to get in the car and set off later." ”

"Go? Where are we going? Su Jiudong was confused, and didn't know that Liu Yunniang had already packed some of her clothes and luggage while she was asleep.

Lan Menghan appeared in the room with a sword and answered Su Jiudong's question: "Miss Su, my son-in-law sent a letter last night, asking a few lowly people to take Miss Su to set off early in the morning and go to Quzhou. ”

Hearing that she was going to Quzhou, Su Jiudong immediately thought that it would be because the scope of the plague in Quzhou had expanded, so Wen Yiheng was so anxious to let people find her to go to Quzhou.

Su Jiudong swept his sleepy eyes, immediately got up to wash, hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of dry food, and then got into the carriage with Lan Menghan and set off for Quzhou.

The carriage traveled to the wharf and then changed to a fast boat, and the day and night travel did not stop, which lasted five days, and Su Jiudong and his party finally arrived in Quzhou.

Wen Yiheng specially sent the secret guard Peikai and others to meet at the Qujiang Wharf, and successfully took Su Jiudong and his party to the Qincha Xingyuan prepared by the Quzhou government for Chu Lufeng to stay.

Wen Yiheng prepared a sumptuous dinner for Su Jiudong, and Su Jiudong, who had been traveling for a few days, was finally able to sit down and have a good dinner.

Wen Yiheng finished eating first, sat on the top and leaned on the back of the chair, knocked on the desk with long fingers, stared at Su Jiudong, who was still eating slowly, and thought about the big and small things that had happened in Quzhou in the past few days.

Su Jiudong finally had a full stomach, and when he saw Wen Yiheng staring at him in a daze, he asked suspiciously, "Why haven't you seen Lord Chu today?" ”

Wen Yiheng supported his forehead with his hand, his face was slightly sad, and said indifferently: "Chu Lufeng has been staying in Zhejiang for many days, and there is a time limit for inspection, and now he has gone to Fujian to inspect. ”

"Lord Chu is not in Quzhou, only you are left. Look at the sad face on your face, is it that the plague matter has not been resolved? ”

Su Jiudong was unexpected, thinking that Wen Yiheng and Chu Lufeng rushed to Quzhou more than ten days ago, and they had successfully solved the matter of plague and disaster relief silver.

Unexpectedly, now that the plague and corruption are unresolved, Chu Lufeng has to set off to inspect the Fujian region.

"Even if Lord Chu is not here, we can solve the plague matter by ourselves, right?" Su Jiudong didn't care very much about Chu Lufeng's departure, because Chu Lufeng didn't know how to heal, and whether he was there or not would not affect the treatment of the plague.

Wen Yiheng shook his head indifferently and said, "These officials in Quzhou are all two-faced. As soon as Chu Lufeng left, the Quzhou officials showed their true colors, not only did they not take me, the entourage, seriously, but they were even more neglected about the distribution of Shengsanzi. ”

"What do you say?" Su Jiudong got up and left his seat, approached Wen Yiheng and sat down, and asked with concern.

Wen Yiheng said unhurriedly: "Originally, Chu Lufeng and I had just arrived in Quzhou to hold officials accountable for the plague, and those officials immediately started to deal with the situation and controlled the spread in a few small villages. ”

"I asked Chu Lufeng to follow the plan you mentioned earlier, and instructed Quzhou Taishou to first buy medicinal materials from the treasury of the government office, and according to the prescription of Shengsanzi, the medicine was distributed to the affected people."

"This method is really effective, and some of the victims have improved after eating the holy sanzi."

Wen Yiheng's words changed, and his eyes became fierce: "This little plague has been controlled, and we were originally going to start investigating the matter of Quzhou officials and disaster relief silver. ”

"However, time was pressing, and Chu Lufeng needed to rush to Fujian immediately to inspect, so the investigation into Quzhou officials' embezzlement of disaster relief money was shelved." Wen Yiheng was still speaking at an unhurried pace, but the hands under the desk clenched their fists.

"Some time ago, there was a sudden increase in the number of sick people in Quzhou City, and the sick villagers who were originally affected by the disaster were exiled to Quzhou County. At this time, I realized that the government no longer distributed the holy sanzi, but raised the price of the holy sanzi to sell it to the affected people. ”

"Some villagers could not afford to buy the high-priced Shengsanzi, so they had to let the disease erode and die of illness. The disease, which had been controlled by the range of force, expanded again. I asked Wei Xianfu about it, but he prevaricated back. ”

Wen Yiheng's voice was like a jewel hitting a stone, and he snorted coldly: "They saw that I was just a member of Qincha's entourage, and they didn't take me seriously at all. ”

"If it weren't for Chu Lufeng saying before leaving, he would have been swept away by those officials by now." There was no anger in Wen Yiheng's voice, but there was a faint dissatisfaction between the lines. Beans Literature Network

"In this way, as soon as Lord Chu leaves, wouldn't it be difficult to solve the matter of the little plague in Quzhou and the embezzlement of disaster relief money by Quzhou officials?" Su Jiudong was also indignant.

As soon as the ministers left, these officials were able to do the stupid thing of selling life-saving drugs at high prices.

After the previous batch of Quzhou officials concealed their illness, they thought that the new officials would be reined in when they came to power, but this new official used reality to teach Su Jiudong to see the corruption and reality of officialdom.

"It's not that it's hard to move an inch, it's just that without Chu Lufeng, the minister of the Qin Mission, it's more troublesome and delayed." Wen Yiheng has become accustomed to all kinds of extreme behaviors in officialdom, so he is not too disappointed.

"You asked Menghan to bring me here in a hurry this time, so you want me to help you solve the matter of Quzhou officials' embezzlement of disaster relief money?" Su Jiudong's psychology is a little bottomless, she is not a person in the officialdom, she is not familiar with the official position and power technique, let alone can help Wen Yiheng.

"Definitely. I'm looking for you this time because I need your help with something else. Wen Yiheng stretched out his hand to touch Su Jiudong's waist and narrowed the distance between the two: "You have medical skills, and I can trust you the most, and it is most appropriate for you to handle this matter, it is none other than you." ”

Wen Yiheng confided in Su Jiudong in a low voice his plan, and the two had a long conversation all night.

The next day, Wen Yiheng entered the Quzhou official mansion again and found Wei Xianfu, the Taishou of Quzhou, who was wandering in the back hall.

"Evergrande, you're here again..." Wei Xianfu saw that Wen Yiheng had lost the respect he had when they first met, and only glanced at Wen Yiheng lightly, only symbolically raised his sleeves and bowed his hands, and had no intention of getting up and saluting Wen Yiheng.

Qin sent the minister Chu Lufeng to Fujian to inspect, but did not take Wen Yiheng, the accompanying secretary, with him, Wei Xianfu thought that Wen Yiheng was discarded by Chu Lufeng, so he no longer cared about Wen Yiheng.

Wen Yiheng opened his mouth in a good voice, and he also planned to give Wei Xianfu another chance to revise: "Lord Wei doesn't want to see Heng so much, and Heng himself doesn't want to run back and forth between the Qincha Xingyuan and the official mansion. ”

"As long as Lord Wei urges the local officials to collect the silver taels in time, catch the medicine according to the prescription, and distribute the holy sanzi to the affected people for free, Heng will not always come to the door to disturb him."

Wen Yiheng deliberately emphasized the word "free", and he didn't care if such a clear and deliberate reminder would anger Wei Xianfu.

"Evergrande, you are just a member of the entourage of the minister, according to the system, you have no right to inquire about our local official affairs. But seeing that Evergrande people care so much about the people, this official will tell you the depth of this..."

Wei Xianfu said bitterly: "Evergrande people don't know their feelings for Quzhou. The people of Quzhou are white-eyed wolves who can't be fed, and even if our government distributes them with holy sanzi for free, they will not be grateful to Dade. ”

Wei Xianfu spread his hands and put on a helpless look.

"Besides, most of the medicinal materials of Shengsanzi are expensive medicinal materials, and it costs a lot of silver to catch the medicine according to the prescription. Now that the government treasury is empty, where is the spare money to look at the medicinal materials of the Holy Sanzi? ”

Wei Xianfu rubbed his middle finger and index finger with his thumb, compared the gesture of the silver coin, and whispered: "Only by collecting a little bit of silver from the people can you use this little bit of silver to buy medicinal materials, this is the correct way to break even..."

"Evergrande, you are also a person in the officialdom, you won't even understand this little trade-off, right?"

The corners of Wen Yiheng's mouth pulled up a faint smile, and he shook his head disapprovingly: "Quzhou was flooded, and the imperial court allocated funds to Quzhou for disaster relief. With such a huge amount of silver, how could Lord Wei say that the treasury was empty? ”

"Even if the treasury of the government is really empty, there are still so many officials and prominent nobles in Quzhou, as long as Lord Wei comes out to collect donations from them, I think there will be many people who eagerly respond and donate generously." Wen Yiheng continued to speak out to plug the loopholes in Wei Xianfu's words.

"It's really heartbreaking for Evergrande people to say this." Wei Xianfu's face showed annoyance, and his voice was no longer as easy-going as before: "Our Quzhou officials are all Qing officials, all of them are vegetarians, and their sleeves are breezy, where is there any extra silver to donate?" What a joke! ”

"Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. For the sake of disaster relief, asking each official to spend 1,000 taels to buy medicinal materials is not too much, right? Officials are the parents of the people, how can their children be sick, and their parents still let their children pay for medicine? ”

"Moreover, the sooner the Holy Scattered Sons are distributed to the sick people, the sooner the plague can be resolved, and the reconstruction work can be completed as soon as possible. At that time, Lord Wei will also look better when he reports the situation to the imperial court. Wen Yiheng's words made Wei Xianfu speechless.

Wei Xianfu was educated by Wen Yiheng's continuous speech, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart, so he found an excuse to drive Wen Yiheng out of the mansion.

Wen Yiheng's visit to the government today was not successful, although he tried his best to talk to Wei Xianfu, but in the end it did not work.

Quzhou officials led by Wei Xianfu were still unmoved, and sold Shengsanzi to the people of Quzhou at a high price.

"As a local parent official, it is really an unforgivable sin to take advantage of the plague to wantonly raise prices and collect ill-gotten gains!" Su Jiudong, who learned that the situation had not changed in the slightest, was not only furious, but also eager to pull Wei Xianfu in front of him and beat him up!
