Chapter 136: Disaster Relief and the Capture of the Prefect

Not to mention that the hidden White Lotus Sect helmsman was furious there.

At this time, the Lintao Mansion Yali.

Jia Congzheng sent out more than 100 messengers to inform the garrison army of the Sifang City Gate to close the city gate immediately, and directly turned Lintaofu City into an iron barrel.

Because of the drought, there were many people outside the city, and the government would close the city gates for a while from time to time in order to prevent the victims from rushing into the city.

This time, the people in the city naturally became strange.

But the helmsman of the White Lotus Sect trembled in his heart.

First, the Zhangjiazhuang stronghold was burned, and now the Sifang City Gate was suddenly closed, and the combination of these two times makes it impossible for this helmsman not to think much about it.

After all, it's a job that will lose your head, so how can you not be careful?

It's just that it's too late to be cautious now!

The unitary time has not yet arrived.

Jia Cong, who was standing on the city wall, saw the smoke and dust flying in the distance, and raised the flag high to tell him that it was the disaster relief food team and his own army that came.

The team stretched for more than ten miles, and the movement was not small.

Such a movement was naturally seen by the victims outside Lintao City.

There was panic everywhere in the camp.

Seeing this, Jia Cong immediately summoned more than a dozen officials and ordered them to go to the camp to shout to the victims.

And so it didn't take a while.

Under Jia Cong's instructions, the officials carried gongs and galloped all over the camp camp, shouting that it was the convoy of the imperial court for disaster relief, and at the same time ordering everyone to wait in line at the porridge shed that had just been built.

Another incense stick time passed.

The vanguard team has already begun to set up camp outside Lintao City.

Plenty of manpower.

Jia Cong then ordered people to pull several truckloads of seized grain and send them to various porridge sheds in the camp, and in the stove of the porridge shed, a raging flame suddenly rose.

It didn't take long.

The smell of rice permeated the entire camp, calling the victims waiting in line outside the porridge shack to swallow and swallow the saliva gushing out of their mouths.

"Bang dang! Bang dang ......"

As the lids of the pots are lifted one after another, white steam rises with an enticing aroma of rice.

Spoonfuls of gruel were scooped into the bowls of the victims.

Then, in a burst of thanksgiving, the victims who had been hungry for a long time began to "squeeze" along the edge of the bowl and sucked in small bites, regardless of the heat......

Jia Cong and Lu Ruoteng rode on horses, surrounded by the soldiers, patrolling the disaster camp outside the city, accompanied by the prefect of Lintao and the garrison.

Look at the camp that stretches for miles in front of you.

Looking at the yellow-faced and thin-skinned victims, Lu Ruoteng said with emotion: "I really don't know the suffering of the people if I don't go to the countryside, this year's drought is just a province, it is so miserable, and how terrible is the disaster that has affected several provinces in previous years?" ”

"The terrible disaster is only one of them, the human heart is the real great horror!"

Jia Cong also sighed, "Lord Lu, do you know that at noon today, General Ben personally ordered the slaughter of a village and town and killed all the villagers in it?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Ruoteng's face was stunned for a moment.

He immediately said angrily: "Why did Uncle Zhong Yong do such a horrific thing? ”

Jia Cong shook his head with a wry smile and gave He Nan beside him a look.

The latter hurriedly took out a piece of bacon from the saddle and handed it to Lu Ruoteng, "Lord Lu, don't complain about my master, let's take a look at this piece of meat first." ”

"A piece of meat? Even a mountain of gold is not an excuse for you to slaughter the people! ”

Lu Ruoteng is still angry and blows his beard.

After listening to Lu Ruoteng's words, Jia Cong just said: "This piece of bacon is human rib meat......

"I ......"

Before the words came out, they were already suffocated in their mouths, looking at the bacon in their hands, Lu Ruotengmeng's spirit almost threw it out.

I couldn't help but stammer, "This... This... It's people... Human flesh? ”

"It's human flesh."

Jia Cong nodded and affirmed: "The whole village of Zhangjiazhuang was all killing people to make bacon, and then those people from the White Lotus Cult were taken out to disperse to the people, winning a piece of gratitude.

In the end, the White Lotus disciples coaxed some of the people to Zhangjiazhuang and killed them to make bacon, how to circulate ......"

Lu Ruoteng shuddered.

"Cannibalism ...... Men"

Lu Ruoteng's face turned pale, "I thought that starvation was already miserable, but I didn't expect that there would be such a hurtful thing, this official... I'm really ...... Hey......"

The whole person suddenly withered.

It was also at this time.

Not far away, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and He Dong came to say: "General, the soldiers have completely controlled all parts of Lintaofu City, and all the soldiers of the government should be dispatched. ”

Jia Cong nodded.

Pointing towards the Lintao Prefect, he ordered: "Take down the Lintao Prefect!" ”

"Yes!"

Hearing the order, several wolf-like soldiers immediately rushed forward, and instantly held down the Lintao Prefect, whose complexion had changed greatly, and the official hat on his head was directly knocked into the dust.

The prefect of Lintao shouted: "My lord, the lower official is innocent, why do you want to do this to me? ”

"Are you innocent?"

Jia Cong sneered, "As the parent official of Lintao Mansion, just if there was a starvation under your rule, I would have been able to sue you for dereliction of duty, besides, you really think that no one knows what you have done?" ”

The prefect of Lintao froze for a moment.

Then Meng turned his head and looked at the Lintao guard next to him, "Bi Xianqing, you're making trouble, right?" ”

"How many people have died due to the drought, but the adults are still bent on looting the people's fat and ointment, and the officials can't stop this matter, so naturally they have to report it to the Lord Qincha to know."

"You're risking your future to expose me, just because of this?"

The prefect of Lintao was dumbfounded.

"Regardless of the future?"

Jia Cong glanced at him coldly, "Bi Xianqing can have the courage to expose corrupt officials like you, who is a loyal courtier of Daqian, how can he say that he disregards the future?" ”

Talking.

Jia Cong took out a book of folds from his arms, which recorded several "big moves" of the Lintao prefect during his tenure for several years.

After a simple flip.

Then he handed the fold to Lu Ruoteng next to him, "This matter will be handled by Lord Lu, I have sent someone to carefully investigate the above several things, and they are all true." ”

A wave of unevenness has risen again and again.

This successive turning point made Lu Ruoteng feel a little overwhelmed.

Seeing the excerpt handed in front of him, Lu Ruoteng subconsciously caught it and looked at it carefully.

Not much.

Lu Ruoteng, who was the minister of the Qincha, was already flushed with anger.

Pointing to the fold in his hand, he said angrily: "Don't mention anything else, in the event of a disaster, the imperial court will deduct the silver taels, and communicate with the grain merchants to sell the granary of Fucheng without permission, who gave you the guts?" ”

“……”

The latter was speechless.

The Lintao Mansion official who accompanied him next to him knew that his own prefect had done such a big thing unknowingly, and he really wantonly dominated and exploited the people under his rule as sons?

It's really worthy of being a "parent official"!
