Chapter 181: Report on the disaster

The news of Mao Weili's death spread quickly, and Qin Miaomiao deliberately let people spread it, telling them how miserable they were.

Mao Weili's body was parked at the door of the government office, and no one was allowed to collect his body, and his family members were all imprisoned in the government office.

In the face of the sudden change, Mao Weili's little wives who had just married into the door hugged the railing of the prison and scolded Qin Miaomiao's ancestors for eighteen generations.

At this time, the officials of the whole Hanyang City under the jurisdiction of the city fell into a panic, they were led by Mao Weili, they were more or less greedy for money, and distributed grain, most of which had not yet been sold, basically hidden in the mountains or in the cellars of Fuzhong, waiting for the limelight to pass before taking it out and selling it.

In Mao Weili's empty house alone, a full 30,000 taels of silver were found, not to mention the grain, the entire two-entry yard was piled up, and there was no place to put down.

Qin Miaomiao looked at the food in the yard, and thought of the hungry and skinny victims, her eyes were red with anger, she thought that she was not a bodhisattva with great compassion, but seeing this situation, she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.

Qin Miaomiao and Su Mubing were divided into two routes, Su Mu took a small number of officers and soldiers to be busy releasing grain, while Qin Miaomiao took the officers and soldiers of the brigade to search for the remaining embezzled grain that was missing.

Several towns are not far away, Qin Miaomiao led the officers and soldiers to search town by town, due to the timely search, only a small amount of grain was transferred to other places, unable to be traced, most of them were confiscated and brought to justice.

Those magistrates who are greedy for money are in a miserable situation, and it is needless to say that they confiscated their property, and Qin Miaomiao, who took the initiative to hand them over, did not let go, and even those who were trapped and tied were all imprisoned by her, and she was ready to take them back to the capital together, so that Zu Suyao could see, he was intriguing and playing with power all day long, and he didn't know how to sympathize with the suffering of the people, so these officials raised were also evil ghosts who ate human blood steamed buns.

The three disaster areas were solved, Qin Miaomiao did not rest for a day, the carriages and horses did not stop, and rushed back to the capital all the way.

After a brief trimming, Qin Miaomiao hurriedly entered the palace with the report on the second day.

At this time, it is already approaching the end of the year, and tomorrow is the new year, so the palace has also begun to clean and decorate, and the original plain plum blossoms and pines and cypresses are also hung with red silk lanterns as decorations, and you can feel the festive atmosphere as soon as you step into the palace gate.

Gonggong Li also changed into a new palace dress, with red patterns embroidered on the cuffs and collar, the clothes are very beautiful just by looking at them, but with his smile and face full of pleats, it is not very harmonious.

He smiled when he saw Qin Miaomiao, since Qin Miaomiao left, the emperor was in a good mood every day.

This year, Su Zuyao really saved a lot of silver. Naturally, he is in a good mood, and Gonggong Li follows him every day, so he suffers less and is radiant.

In previous years, every month of disaster relief, starting from the appropriation, Su Zuyao's face has been dark, and every time at this time, Gonggong Li is also trembling and waiting, and he is about to be scolded at every turn.

"Yo yo, girl, are you back, the emperor still talked about you yesterday? Let me see. Gonggong Li turned around twice in front of and behind Qin Miaomiao: "Tsk, look at the thin one for us, this face is thin, tired, tired~"

"Gonggong Li, does the emperor have kung fu at this time?" Qin Miaomiao wanted to hand over the report fold quickly, there were still a lot of things waiting for her at home.

"Come with me, the emperor and Concubine Xi are here." Gonggong Li walked inside, and Qin Miaomiao followed behind him.

Silently thinking in his heart, Concubine Xi mentioned by Gonggong Li just now seems to be very favored, and the last time Gonggong Li went to his store to find a jade pillow was also for this mother.

Seeing that the Evergreen Hall was still far away, Qin Miaomiao rushed to Gonggong Li's side in a few steps, and secretly took off a wrench in his hand, although this wrench is not as valuable as the jade Linglong last time, but it can still be sold for 1,800 taels of silver, Gonggong Li took it in his hand, he didn't even look at it, just touching it with his hand, he knew that it was a good thing, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "Girl, you can't afford to provoke that Xi Guifei, you are noble, and among the many concubines in this harem, her favor is unique." ”

Qin Miaomiao nodded: "Since you are so favored, why is the back position still hanging empty?" ”

Listening to Qin Miaomiao's words, Gonggong Li sighed: "Concubine Xi is not from Daxia, but from Liang. is still an actor, so her identity is destined to not be a queen. ”

"And which prince or princess is she?" Qin Miaomiao recalled carefully, the eldest prince's mother had died a few years ago, Su Mu's mother died even earlier, and the mother of the fourth and fifth princes was not favored, and gave birth to two princes in a row, but only held the concubine position. The rest of Qin Miaomiao didn't know anything.

"Concubine Xi has nothing to do, and she has never been pregnant in the past 20 years." When Gonggong Li said this, his expression flashed with a sigh, after so many years of petting, he can only be accompanied by a green light when he is old.

In front of her was the Evergreen Palace, and Qin Miaomiao was not interested in inquiring, but took a step slower and fell behind Gonggong Li.

The two of them entered the hall one after the other and went straight to the back hall.

Charcoal was baking in the house, and it was warm when he entered the house, Su Zuyao was leaning on the short couch, and a woman in a fancy dress was sitting next to him with a hand warmer, and there were some dried fruit cakes in front of the two, which seemed to be chatting.

Seeing Qin Miaomiao come in, the woman raised her eyes to look at her, looked up and down, and it took a long time to withdraw her gaze.

And Qin Miaomiao only glanced at it hurriedly because of the etiquette, and lowered her head, this Xi Guifei has never been in contact with herself, and she doesn't know her temperament, so she is more cautious about everything. And in the harem where the mother and son are expensive, they can come out on top with nothing, which shows that the means are really extraordinary.

"The people's daughter sees the emperor, Xi Guifei Niangniang." Raised the report in his hand above his head: "Your Majesty, this is a report for disaster relief, please take a look." ”

Gonggong Li took the fold in Qin Miaomiao's hand, and bent down all the way to present the fold to Su Zuyao.

Su Zuyao rarely smiled with a smile on his face: "You don't have to be formal, I didn't expect you to be able to rush back a year ago, and the speed of doing things is not lost to the man at all, it seems that I chose the right person for this disaster relief." ”

Put the fold in his hand on the low table beside him: "I don't look at it, you tell me to listen." ”

Qin Miaomiao said yes, but she was very reluctant in her heart, she and Su Mu were busy for most of the night for this performance.

She can't write herself, mainly because she is a modern person, and she can only write some loose Chinese, and it is really difficult to catch ducks on the shelves and be strong when she writes carefully and carefully. So she took the pen and ink and begged Su Mu.

She really found the right person, and Su Mu promised to help her write, but he made a small request before writing.

Listening to this request, Qin Miaomiao was furious: "Master Hou, it's not your way to rob while the fire is hot?" For the sake of an excerpt, I have to sell hue? ”

But in the end, she still gave in, and Su Mu didn't let her go until the second half of the night, got out of bed and began to write the fold, and after a while, the fold had already been written and handed over to Qin Miaomiao.

Qin Miaomiao retracted his thoughts: "Back to the emperor, the resettlement of the victims of Huayan and Jinrong was very smooth, of which Huayan resettled more than 57,000 victims, rebuilt more than 12,000 houses, and spent a total of 340,000 silver.

Jinrong City resettled more than 32,000 victims, distributed 20,000 stone of relief rations, and spent 74,000 taels of silver. ”

Qin Miaomiao deliberately paused when he said this and didn't say any further, Su Zuyao listened with a smile on his face, and when he saw that Qin Miaomiao didn't speak, he couldn't help but ask: "What about Hanyang City?" ”

Qin Miaomiao's expression was dignified: "Back to the emperor, the disaster relief in Hanyang City is very unsmooth, headed by the prefect of Hanyang, the counties under its jurisdiction are all embezzled food funds, and the victims are seriously ill not only not treated, but also prevent the people from rescuing the people's daughters, in order to make a plague and then ask the court for funding for rescue." ”

Su Zuyao was not very angry when he heard that he was greedy, officials were already greedy, although he was also angry, but he couldn't reach the anger, but he couldn't bear it at the latter point, this was playing tricks on him, wanting to get money from him, slammed it on the low table in front of him, making a loud noise, and frightened Xi Guifei on the side hurriedly put her hand on his chest to ease him.

Su Zuyao patted Concubine Xi's shoulder comfortingly, and turned his head to look at Qin Miaomiao: "Can those officials be arrested and brought to justice?" ”

Be angry, the more angry you are, the better, so that you can severely punish those corrupt officials who have lost their conscience: "Mao Weili wanted to kill me and Wu Anjun, but he was killed by Wu Anjun, and the rest of the officials involved have been arrested and brought to justice, and they are already on their way to the capital." ”

"Well, these prisoners will be sentenced heavily! Escorted into Beijing without trial, directly beheaded to show the public, the three generations of the nine clans are not allowed to enter the court as officials. ”

"Your Majesty, can you punish them publicly, and parade them through the streets before they are beheaded?" Qin Miaomiao wants more officials to know and play a warning role.

Su Zuyao was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Just do as you say." ”

Qin Miaomiao thought about it again and again, standing in front of the hall and seemed to have something to say.

Su Zuyao glanced at her: "Since you have finished returning, you can go down, you are tired of these days, so rest early." ”

Qin Miaomiao listened to Su Zuyao's words, lowered her head, didn't say to go, didn't say no, looked at her nose, her nose cared, but she was secretly scolding Su Zuyao in her heart, this dog emperor, he contributed his own money and efforts, he didn't even have a few words of reward and praise. Who's for you?

"What's wrong? Anything else? "Zu Suyao is actually like a mirror in his heart, knowing the consultant.

Qin Miaomiao secretly gritted her teeth before holding back the scolding words: "Your Majesty, it's just that I borrowed money for disaster relief this time, can you see if you also mean to reimburse the people's daughter?" ”

When she heard that Qin Miaomiao came to ask for money from her, she immediately turned into a donkey's face: "Didn't I already promise you to leave the matter of the selection of the imperial merchants to you, and all the money will belong to you." ”

Qin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows, the cunning color in her eyes flashed away, and she cried and complained with a face; "Your Majesty, how much money can you make?"

Su Zuyao was already impatient, and waved his hand at her: "Give you as much money as you make, go, go down, I'm tired." ”
