"Yes, why? Obviously, Chun'an County and Jiande County are the most severely affected places this time, and the people of Jiande County are people, so the people of Chun'an County are not people? ”

With such an idea, Hai Rui didn't care about resting, and hurriedly led people to the neighboring Jiande County.

When Hai Rui arrived in Jiande County, he found that the painting style here was completely different.

The streets are orderly, not at all like they have been flooded, there are no people huddled in corners waiting to die, every three or five steps you can see a porridge shack serving porridge, and on the edge of the city, there is a shelter for the victims to live temporarily, and the officials of the county government maintain order.

On the way to the county office, Hai Rui also sent people to inquire, and the people along the way praised him when they mentioned their county.

"Lord Zhixian, it's here."

"Hmm."

Just as Hai Rui's thoughts were wandering, a voice came from outside.

Hai Rui nodded, and then got out of the sedan chair.

"Dare to ask your lordship?" Seeing that Hai Rui was wearing an official uniform, the official of the county government of Jiande County hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"This official is Hai Rui, the new magistrate of Chun'an County next door, and I have something important to discuss with you, Lord Wang, so I am tired of going in and reporting it."

"Your Excellency, please wait a moment, I'll go in and report."

After the official finished speaking, he quickly ran back to the county office.

At this time, Wang Yonghe was leisurely drinking tea in the inner courtyard of the county government, and when he saw the official running in in a panic, he couldn't help frowning and looking displeased: "What is so panicked?" ”

"Lord Yuzhi County, outside is Hai Rui, the new magistrate of Chun'an County, saying that he is looking for an adult, you have something important to discuss."

After listening to the official speak, Wang Yonghe drank the remaining tea in the cup and said, "Let him wait for a while, and the official will go to see him immediately." ”

"Yes." After receiving the order, the official left quickly.

Wang Yonghe looked at the back of the servant who left in a hurry, but said secretly in his heart: "The person who came is not good." ”

Since the Governor's Mansion asked Wang Yonghe to temporarily take charge of the disaster relief materials in Chun'an County, Wang Yonghe had a crooked mind and quickly embezzled all of them. Now that it is the time for promotion, if you can perform well in this disaster relief, you should be able to leave here soon and transfer to the capital to take up a post.

Thinking of this, Wang Yonghe's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of gloom, when is it not good to fight, but he has to fight when he is about to be promoted.

Hai Jui was soon welcomed by the officials to the place where the guests were entertained in the county office, while the others waited outside the county office.

"My lord, please wait a moment, the magistrate is busy with official business, and he will come over soon."

"Hmm." Hai Rui nodded and continued to wait.

Just as Hai Rui was bored looking at the decoration here, Wang Yonghe, the county governor of Jiande, walked in with a smile like a spring breeze.

"This is Hai Rui, the new magistrate of Chun'an County, Hai Daren, right? Below is Wang Yonghe of Jiande Zhi County, do you have anything to do with my county office? ”

"Well, this official is Hai Rui, the new magistrate of Jiande County! Lord Wang, I am here this time for the relief materials in Chun'an County that you have previously managed. ”

Hai Rui didn't want to make too many pleasantries, but put forward his request bluntly.

"Alas, you don't know anything! At that time, the Governor's Mansion asked me to take care of the part of the supplies in Chun'an County, and I immediately sent someone to go after receiving the order, but I was robbed by the victims on the way! ”

When Wang Yonghe said this, his tone couldn't help but carry a trace of indignation.

"What? Looted by the victims! When Hai Rui heard this, his expression became more and more gloomy.

"Yes, those victims are hungry, as long as they can survive, what do they dare not do? But fortunately, some of the materials were also snatched back, and they are currently being stored in my warehouse in Jiande County. ”

"If Lord Hai is in need, you can send someone to get it, and the rest of the behold, please forgive Wang." As soon as Wang Yonghe's words fell, the guards on the side brought two cups of good tea.

"Do you want to try it? This is the top Longjing, which just came out this year. Wang Yonghe said, he didn't look at Hai Rui, but picked up the teacup and took a sip by himself.

"Hmph, give those victims a hundred dares, they don't dare to rob the things of the government! Didn't Lord Wang treat me Hai Rui as a fool for amusement? This part of my Chun'an County materials was obviously misappropriated by you. Hai Rui turned his gaze to Wang Yonghe, who was leisurely drinking tea on the side, and said in a deep voice.

"On the way to Jiande County, this official saw that there was a porridge shed within five steps of the street giving porridge, and the share of disaster relief grain issued by the government to the two counties was about the same, where did you get so much grain from Jiande County?"

"In addition, don't mention to me that you are rich in Jiande County, I have already checked the relevant information before I came, and the land, money, food, population, and taxes of the two counties are all about the same."

Seeing that Wang Yonghe still wanted to quibble, Hai Rui took the first step to speak and blocked his words.

"In short, the disaster relief materials in Chun'an County are only those in the warehouse, if you want them, find someone to move them, if not, don't even want to get the slightest bit of materials! If you don't believe me, you can go to the governor's palace and sue me. Wang Yonghe said that, there was no intention of talking anymore, and he had no fear.

"Okay, Wang Yonghe, you wait for me, this official will definitely go to the governor's palace to sue you! Also, thank you for the tea. Hai Rui said, drank the tea in the cup, and left.

Wang Yonghe sat on the chair, his face was cloudy, and then he called his subordinates and whispered a few words.

……

In the study room of the Governor's Mansion of Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the complete record of the destruction of the embankment and flooded fields submitted by his student Ma Ningyuan.

He knew very well in his heart that if he submitted this record to the local area, it would definitely cause shocks in the government and the opposition, without him, there were too many people involved in it, and it was too important!

If this matter is put on the table, none of the five elders of the dynasty will be able to escape! Under pressure, the imperial court also had to hold them accountable, and if the old man fell, and no one came to restrain the officials under him, the chaos between the government and the opposition would be a trivial matter, and I am afraid that it would shake the society of the Ming Dynasty.

After thinking about it for a long time, Hu Zongxian still couldn't make up his mind.

At this moment, the voice of staff member Xu Wei came from outside the study: "My lord, someone has been sent from the palace." ”

Hu Zongxian put away the records and immediately knelt on the ground, and then the door of the study was pushed open, and a white-faced and beardless eunuch walked in, chuckling and saying, "Lord Hu, this is what Your Majesty entrusted me to send to you." ”

After the eunuch said that, he handed the excerpt to Hu Zongxian.

"I'm tired of my father-in-law." Hu Zongxian hurriedly thanked him.

"We are all working for the emperor, what is there to worry about? Now that the things have been delivered, I'll leave first. The eunuch said, did not stop, but turned and left.

"Father-in-law, go slowly!"

After sending his father-in-law away, Hu Zongxian retired the guards on the side, sat on a chair, and opened the fold.

"Your Majesty not only gave me the right to cut first and then play, but also gave me the power to try the case?"

After reading the above content, Hu Zongxian's brows furrowed, and he kept thinking about the intention behind the emperor's move, for a long time, Hu Zongxian's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but stroke his beard, and laughed loudly: "I see, Your Majesty Shengming!" Minister Hu Zongxian, obey orders. ”
