Chapter 1022: Things Are Not as Simple as They Seem
Transporting materials into Yizhou?
Lin Bai thought that he had misheard, and looked at Yan Gang in surprise.
The latter nodded affirmatively, "The people below have confirmed, and they have also inquired about the people of Liang County, saying that during this time, Xuzhou has a lot of materials entering Yizhou." ”
Receiving an affirmative reply, Lin Bai couldn't help frowning.
What does this mean?
Blocking the entry of the victims while transporting supplies into the disaster area?
Wu Qiaojun's face also showed a look of doubt, and he subconsciously asked, "Is it really guarding against the Red Lotus Sect?" ”
Not to mention, this possibility is also reasonable.
After all, compared to the snow disaster, the Red Lotus Sect is the most troublesome thing for officials, and the snow disaster is a natural disaster, even if some people freeze to death as officials, they can shirk it.
But if the Red Lotus Sect makes trouble, it will be different, it is a man-made disaster.
Natural disasters are uncontrollable, but man-made disasters are controllable, and once they cannot be controlled, it is the responsibility of officials.
The Xuzhou government was afraid that the Red Lotus Sect would make trouble, so it blocked all the victims of the Yizhou disaster, and at the same time transported materials for disaster relief, is this possible?
After thinking about it, there is indeed such a possibility, and it can be regarded as not delayed on both sides.
But Lin Bai always felt that something was wrong, it shouldn't be that simple.
"There's something weird."
Yan Gang paused and said, "The person sent to investigate said that although the damage in Liang County was not serious, there were also some people who were affected, and they asked the officers and soldiers for help, but they did not get any response. ”
"Some people saw so many supplies and asked the officers and soldiers for some, but they were all expelled."
This!
Lin Bai's face froze, isn't it disaster relief? The people's help actually sat idly by?
Moreover, it is the people of Liang County, the county seat under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, in the face of their own people, the officers and soldiers are still like this, those materials are transported to Yizhou, can they really reach the hands of the victims?
The great genius was very skeptical.
After all, in the face of the people in his own jurisdiction, how good may it be to face the people of Yizhou?
Wu Qiaojun's face sank slightly, and said, "If nothing else, there is a high probability that these materials will be sold." ”
Lin Bai also thought of this possibility.
As I said before, these materials are no better than silver, and they can't be used up even if they are greedy for ink, but looking at the current situation, it doesn't look like they were transported to Yizhou for disaster relief.
After all, if the victims in their own territory turn a blind eye, how can they be expected to help the people in other regions.
So the biggest possibility is to sell it.
What is most lacking in the disaster area is supplies.
I don't know how many people resell donated materials in later generations, and the great talents have long been surprised, but I didn't expect to meet them in this world.
Lin Bai comforted: "On the bright side, at least the materials have entered the disaster area, which is nothing more than the people spending more unjust money. ”
"There's no rush for this, wait for things to be figured out, and then I'll settle it slowly with them."
For the disaster area, silver is a trivial matter, the key is the materials, the materials can't be transported, and you can't buy anything with silver.
Of course, it's just relative, and ordinary people are afraid that they don't have extra silver.
However, as long as the materials enter Yizhou, the local government should always do something!
Lin Bai thought to himself, and then asked, "Do you know where these materials last go?" ”
Yan Gang shook his head and said, "It's not certain for the time being, but it's been traced, and I believe there will be results soon." ”
"In addition, we also got news from Liang County that the situation in Yizhou is more serious, several county towns have been captured, and Duanzhou and Xinzhou are even worse, and it is said that they have gone to Changjin County."
Boy!
I'm really afraid of something, and I really went to Changjin County, it seems that I must go on the road as soon as possible, and I can't delay any longer.
Lin Bai thought about it for a while, and immediately said: "Let everyone rest for a good night, and set off early tomorrow morning to go to Yizhou!" ”
"Yes!"
Yan Gang immediately took the order and left.
Wu Qiaojun asked, "What about this side?" ”
The side of her mouth naturally refers to the corruption situation in Xuzhou.
Lin Bai said: "This can only be the case here for the time being, as long as the materials are entering Yizhou, then everything can be calculated slowly with them later." ”
The most important thing is that supplies enter the disaster area, even if these people are corrupt, it is not too late to deal with these people when the crisis on the front line is resolved.
On the other hand, if these people are dealt with now, then the entry of materials into Yizhou will be interrupted, and it is too simple to deal with a prefect or a granary superintendent, but it is not so simple to find someone to do things again.
Of course, the most important thing is that the talented man has no time, the situation ahead is grim, and Changjin County still doesn't know what to do.
Wu Qiaojun thought about it and nodded, obviously feeling that her husband was reasonable.
Corrupt officials are hateful, but they still have to be used.
The two of them said something about the victims again, and after a while, Yan Gang went and returned, he had already explained, and at the same time brought news from the greenhouse.
The people he arranged had already approached those gangsters, and the news they got was not much different from before, and those gangsters were just some lazy masters, and there were no valuable clues.
Lin Bai didn't care, he was already ready to leave, so leave it to Lao Zhu to deal with it here!
After thinking about it, he asked, "If such a big thing happens, there should be a flying dragon guard here in Xuzhou, right?" ”
Yan Gang said: "Yes, but I don't know them well, and my uncle also secretly entered Hedong ......."
Although Yan Gang is also a flying dragon guard, he is actually a great talent, and the commander of the southwest flying dragon guard is completely different from the flying dragon guard of the imperial court, not all the way.
So there is no intersection between the two sides at all.
"Forget it!"
Lin Bai shook his head, "Just let them check it out for themselves!" ”
Wait a minute!
Lin Bai was suddenly stunned as he spoke, there was such a big thing, it was impossible for Feilongwei not to come, and with Feilongwei's ability, if the Xuzhou government was really greedy for disaster relief materials, it should be easy to find out.
After all, it has only been a day since I entered Xuzhou, and I touched it.
Could it be that the Xuzhou government is fine? Or is Xuzhou not a disaster area that has been neglected? Or......
Lin Bai squinted slightly, feeling that things were not as simple as he imagined.
Get! It's in vain to get entangled now, it's better to rush to the front line first, and it's important to rush to Changjin County.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, the talented man and the beautiful lady got up early, because they were going to leave today, and they couldn't sleep too lazy.
On such a cold day, the talented man really wants to sleep more with his beautiful lady, and it doesn't smell good to practice a few times in the morning!
Pity...... This miserable life.
You have to quickly solve this and go back to the southwest, that's called real life.
The two hurriedly had breakfast, and Yan Gang had already arrived at this time, "Uncle, I just received news that there is a large number of materials to be sent to Yizhou from the Xuzhou granary, and our materials are among them." ”
Oh?
A hint of surprise appeared in Lin Bai's eyes, "That's a coincidence, go to Yizhou with them." ”
This!
Yan Gang frowned and said, "I'm afraid they won't agree." ”
Lin Bai thought for a while and said, "Let the others disperse and enter Yizhou first!" There should be no problem with fewer people coming. ”
Yan Gang was worried: "But the safety of such an uncle ......"
"It's okay!"
Lin Bai said, "Without further ado, let's go!" ”
