In the restaurant.

Lin Bai accompanied the beautiful lady to dinner.

However, the mood of the two of them was not too high, and they were naturally unhappy when they thought that the kindness of the Southwest Royal Mansion might be taken advantage of.

Several beautiful ladies are all kind, and they have spared no effort when they hear about the disaster in the mainland.

Although the great talent eats dry food, he doesn't care about anything at all.

Well! The violent mother also eats dry food, and she doesn't care about disaster relief or anything.

But when she learned that the sisters' kindness might be taken advantage of, she was very unhappy, and her face was very gloomy, with a faint hint of coldness.

The big geniuses were a little weak, and said, "Maybe it's just that we think too much, and we'll talk about it when we find it out." ”

Wu Qiaojun didn't speak.

This Nizi has never said much, this is still in front of her husband, if she is replaced by someone else, she will definitely not open her mouth if she can do it.

About an hour later, Yan Gang had news.

It's about the victims.

"Uncle, I have already learned that most of the so-called victims are beggars in and around Xuzhou City, and some bastards who are lazy and lazy."

"And those greenhouses were also built recently, and they didn't take a long time, and they let people pretend to be beggars and get some news."

Oh?

Lin Bai's eyes lit up slightly, and he motioned for Yan Gang to continue.

The latter said: "According to the beggars, they only barely ate some gruel, promising not to starve to death, and the supplies brought from other places hardly fell on their heads." ”

"At most, there is only a small amount of food to make a living, and those bastards are treated relatively better."

Speaking of this, Yan Gang glanced at Lin Bai, and looked a little speechless, and then said: "According to what they said, the yamen deliberately raised them, the purpose was to defraud donations from all over the country and the help of the imperial court. ”

"Those beggars are more honest, and those who stutter are honest if they don't die of hunger."

"And the reason why those bastards are treated better is because they are afraid that they will talk nonsense, so they give more benefits and let them cooperate."

Wu Qiaojun's pretty face suddenly turned cold, and her beautiful eyes were cold.

Lin Bai's face was not good-looking.

Yan Gang noticed it, and hurriedly said: "These are just temporary news, the details are not yet certain, the humble position has already made people close to those bastards, and there should be definite news soon." ”

"In addition, there is still some distance from Liang County, and I'm afraid the news will be a little later."

Lin Bai nodded, "Got it, let the people below continue to investigate." ”

"Yes!"

Yan Gang received the order.

Wu Qiaojun snorted, "These things that don't know death are really greedy for disaster relief materials." ”

"Captive beggars and bastards act as disaster victims, deceive the court and merchants, and let merchants continue to donate, it's just worth killing!"

The violent mother was very angry, because these were the kindness of the sisters, and several sisters called on businessmen to provide relief for the disaster area, what a good deed, what a meaningful thing.

But now that she is being used by these officials, so she is greedy for ink materials, how can she not be angry.

Don't talk about her, the talented people are a little angry.

He can't control Lao Zhu's world, but these materials are all businessmen who responded to several beautiful ladies and their spontaneous kindness to help the disaster area.

Such kindness must not be taken advantage of.

However, it is still only a one-sided statement, although combined with the previous coincidence, it is likely to be a fact, but the great talent is not in a hurry, and decided to figure it out first.

After all, disaster relief materials are no better than silver taels, and you can directly be greedy for ink.

Many of these materials can't be stored for a long time, and the officials don't need so many things, such as the southwest provides a lot of greenhouses, cotton clothes, and charcoal.

These things will not be used up by the officials who stay.

So the big talent wants to figure out where these things have gone first, and then decide what to do next.

At the same time.

In the granary of Xuzhou, Fang Daqing was tasting tea, and asked in his mouth: "How are things going?" ”

The previous official was also on the side, and said with a flattering face: "Don't worry, my lord, everything has been done, the materials are ready, and you can set off at any time." ”

"That's good!"

Fang Daqing nodded, "That's right!" What happened to those merchants today? ”

The little official snorted and said with disdain: "Don't bother the adults, it's just a few businessmen who don't know anything, and the little ones have already fooled them, and I promise that they won't be suspicious." ”

"Actually, even if you are suspicious, it's not worth mentioning, looking at their appearance, they are all ordinary businessmen, and they are definitely unable to speak in the southwest."

Fang Daqing said: "This is very good, but whether they are related to the Southwest Mansion or not, what should be done must be done in place, so as not to arouse suspicion." ”

"And there's going to be a steady stream of supplies coming in."

The little official said, "What the adults say, the little ones know." ”

"Speaking of which, the appeal of the Southwest Royal Mansion is really strong, and so many merchants have transported supplies to Hedong, so ......"

Cough!

Fang Daqing coughed, "Do more things and talk less, don't worry about what you shouldn't care, be careful during this time, maybe someone will come from above." ”

Hearing the person from above, the little official's face couldn't help but tighten.

Fang Daqing glanced at him and said, "Don't be afraid, it's just possible, the imperial court will send people to relieve the disaster, and most of them will go to Yizhou, Xuzhou probably won't come, just let you be careful and be prepared." ”

"Besides, it doesn't hurt even if you come here."

He looked calm and seemed confident.

The little official also smiled wryly when he heard this.

In the restaurant, it was already approaching evening at this time, and Lin Bai and Wu Qiaojun were still around the stove waiting for news.

At this time, Yan Gang walked in, "Uncle, there's news from Liang County." ”

Lin Bai asked, "How?" ”

Yan Gang said: "According to the news just came, the snow disaster situation over there is similar to that in Xuzhou, even if the snow in the mountains is thicker, it is not much different. ”

Really!

The situation in Liang County is not serious, and the Xuzhou government deliberately exaggerated and deceived donations.

Yan Gang said: "In addition, there is another thing, the area at the junction of Liang County and Yizhou is guarded by many officers and soldiers, and the people who try to enter Liang County on the Yizhou side are blocked back. ”

What?

Lin Bai's face froze, "Why are the officers and soldiers blocking it?" ”

Yan Gang said: "The reason given by the officers and soldiers is that there is a Red Lotus Sect in Yizhou to make a rebellion, so it is strictly investigated. ”

"It is said that it is an interrogation, but it is almost not released, and ordinary victims cannot come at all, but some carriages with better travel conditions can pass."

Boy!

Lin Bai called him a good guy, and said why there are no victims in Xuzhou, his feelings are all blocked out, where are the victims here, this is simple!

The supplies are desperately collected, but the victims are blocked out, what does this mean?

What are they doing with all these supplies?

Soon, Lin Bai knew, and only heard Yan Gang continue: "However, although they blocked the influx of disaster victims, they sent a large amount of materials into Yizhou. ”

What?

Lin Bai's face froze.
