Chapter 56: Hunger Everywhere, Hell on Earth!

"There is always a first time in everything, what, Li Aiqing, don't you want to share your worries for me?"

Zhao Lin's expression seemed to be a little displeased.

"The minister didn't dare. ”

Li Mufeng knew that he couldn't refuse, so he could only deal with the matter head-on, "Xiaochen is willing to go to Lingnan for disaster relief." ”

"That's right. ”

Zhao Lin nodded with satisfaction, "You go back quickly and prepare, and you will set off tomorrow." ”

"The minister obeyed. ”

Li Mufeng sighed in his heart.

He felt that this was by no means an easy errand.

But he could also feel the trust that His Majesty the Emperor placed in him.

At this point, no matter what, he can only bite the bullet.

Li Mufeng's eyes gradually became resolute.

After retreating from the dynasty, Zhao Lin left Cao Zhengchun alone.

"Gonggong Cao, you sent a few capable subordinates to secretly protect Li Mufeng. ”

"Yes. ”

Watching Cao Zhengchun leave, Zhao Lin's eyes flashed slightly.

Li Mufeng is a usable material, and it would be a pity if he died in such a trivial matter.

......

Lingnan, Yuezhou Prefecture.

The news that the emperor sent a messenger to investigate soon reached the ears of the prefect of Yuezhou.

The prefect of Yuezhou was furious and directly arrested the general judge.

Then all the big and small officials of the Yuezhou government were gathered.

"Your Excellency, the minister appointed by His Majesty is coming, and I am afraid that this disaster will not be hidden. ”

One of the soldiers said with a frightened face.

Once the court finds out and they conceal the disaster, the responsibility will be great.

"Don't worry, the court can't find out. ”

The eyes of the prefect of Yuezhou shone slightly, "As long as you don't say anything, there will be no problem." In other places, the government has already made arrangements. ”

"Don't worry, Lord Prefect, we are all of the same mind as you. ”

Officials of all sizes said in unison.

Their current fate is tied to the prefect of Yuezhou, and once the imperial court finds out about concealing the disaster, none of them will be able to escape.

Therefore, in order to keep the black gauze hat on their heads, no matter what, they have to hide the disaster!

At this time, Li Mufeng had already set out from Jinling City, all the way to the south, day and night, and headed towards Lingnan.

He had just arrived at the border of Lingnan when he saw that the officials of the Yuezhou Prefecture had already greeted him on the border.

The specifications are quite grand.

"Lord Qincha, we are looking forward to the stars and the moon, but we have finally come to look forward to you. ”

After Li Mufeng arrived, the prefect of Yuezhou also arched his hand towards Li Mufeng, with a very bright smile on his face.

Li Mufeng also immediately returned the salute, and said very politely: "The minister was ordered by His Majesty to come to investigate the disaster situation in Lingnan, and I hope that all the adults will cooperate." ”

"Disaster?"

The prefect of Yuezhou was slightly stunned, and immediately laughed, "What's the disaster, where did Lord Qincha hear this rumor?"

"In the whole of Lingnan, this year is full of good weather and abundant grains, and the so-called disaster situation is completely imaginary. ”

"Oh?"

Li Mufeng raised his eyebrows, and then looked behind the prefect of Yuezhou, his eyes condensed slightly, "What about the judge?"

"He's sick today,"

The prefect of Yuezhou was still smiling, "You haven't seen him for the past few days, and it is enough for us to cooperate with you in investigating the disaster." ”

When Li Mufeng heard this, he also nodded, "Then bother the adults, take me to the people's fields to have a look." ”

"That's nature,"

The prefect of Yuezhou seemed to be prepared, and his right hand pointed forward, and said, "Lord Qincha, please come with this mansion." ”

Li Mufeng's eyes flickered slightly, and then he stepped up and followed.

Following the prefect of Guangdong and other local officials in Guangdong, Li Mufeng came to a piece of farmland for the common people.

In the line of sight, there is a scene of busy farming and harvesting.

I walked dozens of miles in a row, and it was like this.

As if the disaster did not exist at all.

"Lord Qincha, you have also seen that this year is a bumper harvest, and the people are too busy to keep busy. ”

The prefect of Yuezhou looked at Li Mufeng with a smile, "This government has said a long time ago that the so-called disaster is completely imaginary. ”

"Well, it seems that there are rumors. ”

Li Mufeng nodded, "When I go back, I will definitely explain this matter to the Holy Lord." ”

The eyes of the prefect of Yuezhou lit up, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he arched his hand towards Li Mufeng, "Then there is Lord Lao Qincha." ”

"Lord Qincha, come back to the house with me first, the mansion has prepared a banquet for you. ”

A sneer also suddenly appeared in his heart.

What a young imp after all.

Stunned.

However, Li Mufeng's heart was also sneering.

How can someone who can be a fool?

With all this in front of him, Li Mufeng had already seen that he was tired.

It's just that he didn't show it.

When he arrived at the Yuezhou Mansion, after the banquet was over, Li Mufeng quietly slipped out of the city.

He went out of the city from another direction, bringing only one retinue and traveling in microsuits.

Soon, Li Mufeng saw the real situation in Lingnan.

He was shocked by what he saw.

Along the way, Li Mufeng saw with his own eyes that under the influence of the great drought, the people of Lingnan did not have enough to eat, and the people did not have a good life!

Dozens of people scramble for a steamed bun!

Even, a skinny woman begged Li Mufeng to take her daughter away, because she knew that when the hungry people were hungry to a certain extent, they would definitely target her daughter!

The people are easy to eat!

Hunger everywhere!

It's hell on earth!

Li Mufeng was silent.

His body trembled violently.

A monstrous anger brewed in his heart.

He has always lived a very prosperous life, when has he ever seen such a tragic scene.

Even in books, he had seen these descriptions, and knew that the people had a miserable life during the great calamity, but that was only on paper.

When he experienced all this in front of him himself, he realized that no matter how much he heard, it was far less shocking than seeing it with his own eyes.

"Bastard, how dare you play with such a trick under the nose of the Son of Heaven, how can you spare your life?"

Li Mufeng's eyes were full of murderous intent.

The people were dying of hunger.

And the prefect of Yuezhou is still hiding the disaster for his own black hat.

This man should be killed!

Damn it!

Li Mufeng's body has never been as full of justice as it is now.

This matter must be known to His Majesty as soon as possible!

Li Mufeng immediately set out to return home.

He came out secretly, and he couldn't let the prefect of Yuezhou know about his departure.

Otherwise, I'm afraid even he will have to worry about his life!

As soon as he thought of this, Li Mufeng also hurriedly rushed back.

However, at this time, in the Yuezhou Mansion.

The prefect of Yuezhou had already discovered Li Mufeng's disappearance, and his face was very ugly, "Damn, I was slipped out by that kid." ”

His gaze flickered violently.

He knew very well what it meant for Li Mufeng to disappear into the government at this time.
