As time passed, the floods were brought under control, and the refugees who had come from Jiangnan and gathered in the capital returned to their hometowns with relief from the imperial court.

Everything seems to be moving in a good direction, but with it comes the problems that come with it.

There were too many refugees in the Jiangnan area, and during the reconstruction of their homes, everyone gathered together and began to make trouble.

The specific cause of the disturbance has not been clarified.

Li Xingchen ordered that the yamen in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River must be well controlled, pacified and investigated, and there should be no riots.

The rain is still falling.

Some time ago, it stopped and stopped, and during this period it continued for half a month, which made people feel that the sky was a big hole.

The laundry could not be dried, and the dried goods began to mildew because of the dampness, and all the people sighed.

Li Xingchen is also worried that if this rain continues to fall, there will soon be floods in other places.

However, in the face of natural phenomena, Li Xingchen was powerless.

"Your Majesty, it's not good."

At this time, the prime minister came in a hurry.

"There is another group of Jiangnan refugees in the capital, and the news from the commander of Qianniuwei just now."

Li Xingchen was stunned, "That place has been pacified, and the flood has passed, why are there still refugees coming to the capital?" ”

The food distributed is enough for the refugees in the Jiangnan area.

Not only does there be food, money, but also all kinds of living materials, Li Xingchen can't understand that it's like this, can there be refugees in the capital?

"This—" The Prime Minister looked terrified.

"What are you doing?" Li Xingchen was furious, and his chest was filled with rage.

What do these officials do to eat, there is no corruption, who believes it?

The victims who had gathered in the capital before did not know about the disaster relief, and it was understandable that they had left their hometowns, but after the matter was properly handled and understood, and they returned to their hometowns in fine clothes, why did the refugees suddenly appear again?

"Your Majesty, the refugees who came this time said that there is not enough food in Jiangnan, and what can be distributed is only enough for one meal a day, so they want to come to the capital to seek Your Majesty's protection." The prime minister's face turned pale and panicked.

I vaguely realized that there must be corruption in the Jiangnan area.

In the past, he also swore that there would be no corruption, and it only took a long time to slap him in the face.

Li Xingchen swept the folds on the desk to the ground, "Presumptuous! What did the imperial court do when it sent out so much relief food?

Prime Minister, how did you talk to me at that time? Can't be corrupt, can't embezzle life-saving money, now what? Yes? ”

Li Xingchen roared.

"Call me all the waste in the three provinces and six departments!"

The big eunuch was frightened and hurriedly ran out of the imperial study.

It didn't take long for the ministers of the three provinces and six ministries to gather in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty."

"Do you know that there are dozens of refugees in the capital?" Li Xingchen gritted his teeth and said.

The officials of the three provinces and six ministries gasped, figuring out that the Son of Heaven was one of their compulsory courses, looking at Li Xingchen's expression, listening to this tone, it was obvious that the Son of Heaven was on the verge of anger.

The ministers knelt down one after another.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know."

The three provinces and six ministries looked at each other, even if they knew, they couldn't say it now, let alone admit it.

At first, they swore that there would be no corruption. Later, they spoke for Jiangnan officials. As a result, in the end, those fools still embarked on the road of corruption.

Not only pressed the emperor's face to the ground and rubbed it, but also pressed the face of their three provinces and six departments to the ground and rubbed it.

"Don't know? Hehe. Li Xingchen sneered, "Don't you know if you tell me at this time?" ”

His sharp gaze was like a sharp blade, and the ministers of the three provinces and six ministries looked up and hurriedly lowered their heads in fright.

The prime minister wanted to speak, but he was also frightened by the sharp gaze, and he didn't dare to say anything.

"What do you want to say?" Li Xingchen locked his gaze on the prime minister and said in a deep voice.

Li Xingchen was gradually dissatisfied with the prime minister, although before becoming the emperor, the prime minister helped him a lot, but the affairs of the court should be done officially, and emotions should not be mixed with feelings.

"Your Majesty, there must be a reason for this. Whether there are refugees in the capital again, whether it is intentional or true, as they say, the inaction of local officials still needs to be thoroughly investigated. The official said.

Just listening to the refugees, Li Xingchen lost his temper so much, which made people panic.

"Your Majesty, the minister also feels that it is necessary to investigate thoroughly." The Prime Minister said.

Li Xingchen took a deep breath, before he investigated thoroughly, he just listened to others, and he couldn't use this as a basis.

Since it is a situation on the Jiangnan side, it must be determined from that side.

"How do you want to look." Li Xingchen said coldly.

He was angry, but he also knew that corruption had to be thoroughly investigated and had to be substantively proven.

It's a pity that Jiangnan is too far away from the capital, otherwise he would have to investigate it himself.

The prime minister thought for a while and said, "The minister thinks that he can send the officials to the left and right to cooperate with the officials of Dali Temple to investigate." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal." The official department Shangshu said respectfully, "The official department and Dali Temple have joined forces to go in person, and I believe that the problem will soon be clear." ”

Li Xingchen was silent for a moment and said one word, "Quasi." ”

Originally, those officials only saved the rich and did not save the poor people, which made him dissatisfied enough, but he didn't expect corruption to occur again.

If the results of the investigation are true, the officials in the Jiangnan area will all be able to get out.

However, he didn't fully believe in the Ministry and Dali Temple, and there happened to be a lot of secret guards in the Jiangnan area, so let them also check the situation together.

"The ministers are leaving."

The prime minister and the others glanced at each other and respectfully withdrew.

After the people left, Li Xingchen half-lay on the dragon chair and ordered Qianniuwei to resettle this group of refugees, and they should not be treated badly like the previous batch.

Of course, it is impossible for refugees to eat white food all the time, and then return to their hometowns after a few days of recuperation after their emotions have been calmed, or they can make a living in the capital by themselves.

The officials and the officials of the Dali Temple set off for Jiangnan on the same day. Similarly, the secret guards sent to inform the secret investigation also set off today to fully investigate the corruption incident.

A month later.

The broken sky was finally repaired, the rain stopped, the sun came out, and Li Xingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a long-lost smile on his face.

However, a piece of news came that made him angry.

It is said that officials in the Jiangnan area, in order to weaken the impact of the refugee incident, forbade the refugees to leave Jiangnan, and sent troops to control the various passes and forcibly prevent them from leaving.

Some of the radical refugees got into an argument with them and were killed.

Li Xingchen was furious.

He didn't tell the prime minister and the others about this, and asked the secret guards who sent the news back to block the news, and it was important to wait for the people who investigated the incident to come back before making a final decision.

That same evening.

The commander of the dark guard returned to Beijing and presented a copy of the recital in front of Li Xingchen.

It recorded the situation in the Jiangnan area, which took him a month to investigate after mobilizing all the secret guards.
