Qi Yun Yuexuan dismissed these accusations, and he had his own account: A few months ago, several counties south of Huayan suffered floods that had not been seen in a century. Among them, Yuliang and Yanshan counties are the most serious. When he heard that the disaster in Yuliang was very serious, he took people and horses across the county to help the affected counties. The area under the jurisdiction of Qi Yun Yuexuan was still rich in food, and he decided to draw part of it to help the victims of Yuliang. He supervised the march of the grain convoy to Yuliang, and on the way he heard a report from spies that the court had allocated a large amount of money to the disaster area.

When Qi Yun Yuexuan was about to arrive at Yuliang, he found that the situation was wrong. A large number of victims fled the famine with their children and children, and people who starved to death could be seen everywhere on the road. Qi Yun Yuexuan distributed the food he brought to the victims all the way, but before he arrived in Yuliang County, the food he brought had been divided. Qi Yun Yuexuan knew that these grains were just a drop in the bucket and could not solve the problem at all, and the vast majority of the victims still did not receive help.

When Qiyun Yuexuan arrived at Yuliang County, there was a dilapidated scene in the city. On both sides of the street, families closed their doors and fled with their families, and the disaster was worse than he imagined. He secretly visited several families of people who could not afford to flee, and learned that the local officials, together with the state officials, had divided up the disaster relief money allocated by the court in two layers. Merchants in the city colluded with officials to hoard large quantities of grain and sell it at high prices. In order to survive, the people sold their houses, properties and children, and finally exhausted their savings, but they still couldn't stand the difficulties. None of the wealthy families, merchants, and officials in the city were affected by the disaster, but they took advantage of the disaster to make a partnership to make money from the country's disaster and force the common people to a dead end.

When the local officials learned that Qi Yun Yuexuan had come to inspect the disaster, they all put on a banquet to appease him, begging him to turn a blind eye.

Qi Yun Yuexuan pretended to form an alliance with them, and chartered the largest restaurant in the city, "Yanbin Building", to invite the governors and local officials who came to inspect the disaster. Squires, celebrities, and wealthy businessmen were also among his invitations.

When these people walked into Yanbin Building, they found that Yanbin Building had been heavily guarded by Qi Yun Yuexuan, and they could only enter but not leave.

At the banquet of Qiyun Yuexuan, there was no wine and meat, only multigrain porridge that was as clear as water, and moldy nests. Only then did everyone know that something was wrong.

Although several local officials had heard of Qi Yun Yuexuan's ruthless notoriety, they all felt that he could not have any means when they saw that he was young and had a beautiful face. The officials guessed that Qi Yun Yuexuan just wanted to take the opportunity to make some benefits, and they talked to him about the conditions.

Qi Yun Yuexuan's indistinguishable peach blossom face always had a smile: "Since everyone is here, let's eat first and then discuss big things." It's a pity that because of natural disasters, General Ben can't entertain you with anything good. I think you're just as hungry as the victims, so let's start eating. ”

These officials are usually used to eating big fish and meat, where can they eat these things on the table. One by one, they begged Qi Yun Yuexuan to send someone to their house to get good wine and food, and Qi Yun Yuexuan smiled and agreed one by one. And let them instruct their subordinates that each house should prepare a whole table of good wine and food. Qi Yun Yuexuan quietly accompanied them to drink tea, and the time passed slowly, and those people were so hungry that their eyes were green.

Half an hour passed, and the subordinates sent out to bring good wine and food to the master one after another. The young ladies of the restaurant moved the tables and chairs outside the store, and lined up more than 20 long feasts on the street. Seeing this, the magistrates demanded in unison that Qi Yun Yuexuan should open the table. Qi Yun Yuexuan waved his hand downstairs with a smile on his face: "Okay, let's start the table." ”

The Qi Yunjun downstairs dodged out of the way, and the onlookers rushed to the table and ate and drank. The officials and gentry thought that the victims were here to grab something to eat, so the county commander sent people to suppress it. The county commander saluted Qi Yun Yuexuan: "These Diao people dare to rob the general's banquet, and the lower official will order them all to be killed." ”

Qi Yun Yuexuan's face was gloomy: "They are also guests invited by General Ben. These victims are the foundation of the country, and their hard work has enabled the common people of Huayan and state officials at all levels to live a life of abundant food and clothing. However, when they encounter natural disasters, those of you who depend on them for their support, do not care about their lives or deaths, and even divide up the silver taels allocated by the court to help them tide over the difficulties. How can you have a little bit of compassion?" Everyone changed when they heard Qi Yun Yuexuan's words, and they each thought of a way to get out. Qi Yun Yuexuan continued: "In such a serious disaster, you don't think of a solution, and you also collude with merchants to hoard food and take the opportunity to increase the price. Do you know how many victims of starvation have died of starvation on the road along the way that General Ben has walked? You are disgusted and refuse to eat the food I invite you to eat, and you must know that the thousands of disaster victims in the city have even become a luxury in this kind of food. ”

Qi Yun Yuexuan grabbed a moldy nest head and took the lead to take a bite: "Today, General Ben just wants you to understand that those drinks and dishes are what they should eat." And what you should eat is exactly what General Ben has feasted you today. This general can eat it, can't you eat it?" Everyone was afraid that Yun Yuexuan would be angry, so they all grabbed the nest head on the table and ate it, and several officials vomited on the spot. These people finally understood that this beautiful man was not trying to play with them. Qi Yun Yuexuan ordered the deputy general to press several vomiting officials to the ground and force them to eat the vomit, and a ghost crying wolf howled at the scene.

Qi Yun Yuexuan was not in a hurry, drinking tea and slowly boiling with those people. When it was time for dinner, Qi Yun Yuexuan asked them to send someone to the house to get wine and food. Several squires and merchants were unwilling, and they all said that they were not local officials and did not accept the control of Qi Yun Yuexuan. Qi Yun Yuexuan played with an iron whip: "Although you are not officials of the court, but you must also be punished for colluding with government personnel to raise grain prices and disrupt market order." If you are willing to make amends, General Ben will spare you as he sees fit. The squires wanted to get out as soon as possible, and asked how to remedy it?

Qi Yun Yuexuan was light and light: "Each person pays 200 stone of grain, and if the grain is not enough, it will be converted into two pieces of silver." The squires were too suspicious, and they were noisy and wanted to break out, but they were stopped by Qi Yun Yuexuan's men. Two squires with a clear conscience agreed to hand over the grain, which provoked a few stubborn squires to scold there.

Qi Yun Yuexuan slowly consumed with them, and he had the means to deal with people. He can kill the enemy on the battlefield and abandon his armor, and he can also make these corrupt officials cry wolf.

Qi Yun Yuexuan calmly drank tea, and ate the white-flour steamed buns sent by the guards in front of those people. At night, an official couldn't stay hungry, so he scolded: "A man who looks like a woman, no one knows whether he is a man or a woman, and he became a general by virtue of his sister's nepotism." How can you dispose of us privately? We are officials appointed by the court, and you do not have this right. Qi Yun Yuexuan didn't even look at him, and lowered his head and flipped through a book. Seeing that Qi Yun Yuexuan didn't speak, the official thought that he was weak-hearted, so he rushed out while scolding, and the other people also took the opportunity to rush around, and the situation was a little out of control. Seeing that the guards were about to be unable to stop him, Qi Yun Yuexuan grabbed an iron whip from the table and swiped the ground to break a table in half. The scolding official put his head on Qi Yun Yuexuan's chest and shouted: "Murder, the dignified general has killed innocents indiscriminately!" Before the words fell, Qi Yun Yuexuan took a step back, and the iron whip in his hand "swished" around him. With a wave of his hand, the official rose into the air with the arc of the iron whip, his body broke out of the window, and fell to the ground downstairs with a "bang". The man spat out a mouthful of blood and did not move.

Qi Yun Yuexuan's narrow and charming peach blossom eyes swept over everyone, not angry and arrogant. The corrupt officials were frightened and trembled. Qi Yun Yuexuan sat back in his chair, as if nothing had happened, picked up the book and looked at it, he said lightly: "Honestly confess your crimes, and maybe General Ben will punish you lightly." ”

The officials had already heard of Qi Yun Yuexuan's ruthlessness, and they had learned his methods, and confessed the amount of silver taels embezzled this time. Qi Yun Yuexuan asked the scribes to record the record, and asked the officials to draw the charge. Everyone expressed their willingness to withdraw from the embezzlement of silver and begged Yun Yuexuan to let them go. Qi Yun Yuexuan's eyes were still fixed on the book, and he didn't raise his head: "Where is there such a cheap thing?" ”

Early the next morning, five or six businessmen had already handed over the money and grain to Qi Yun Yuexuan, who distributed the food to the victims in public at the gate of Yanbin Building. The corrupt officials successively asked their families to send silver taels to redeem themselves, and the silver taels they handed over did not satisfy Qi Yun Yuexuan, who sent people to the homes of those officials to capture a hostage, or the children of corrupt officials, or the concubines of corrupt officials, and then let them go out to raise money. The magistrate who was thrown downstairs was seriously injured and was carried home for treatment.

The corrupt officials took out all their family funds in order to save their lives, however, Qi Yun Yuexuan still did not let them go easily. In front of the lively victims, he made the corrupt officials kneel in a row, and their clothes were pulled down to their waists. Qi Yun Yuexuan held a leather whip in his hand, Jun's face was full of cruelty, he shook the long whip in his hand, and "crackled" on the corrupt officials, and the scene sounded the sound of a leather whip hitting the flesh, and a terrible scream. One of the county magistrates couldn't stand the torture, hit his head against the wall, and committed suicide in fear of crime.

When the squires and merchants saw that the matter was getting bigger, they were afraid that they would not be able to close it. In order not to anger Qi Yun Yuexuan, they all promised to take out more silver to calm things down. Qi Yun Yuexuan took out part of these large amounts of silver taels to help the victims, and the rest of the silver taels were brought by Wu Siyuan, the deputy general of the silver two lives, to buy grain from several nearby counties.

Five days later, the deputy general escorted the life-saving food purchased from a neighboring county back to Yuliang. Qi Yun Yuexuan posted a notice to open a warehouse at the entrance of the county government the next day to release grain.

The corrupt officials gathered together to discuss countermeasures in secret, and they wanted to fight back.
