In the prefect's mansion, he hesitated to say that the disaster relief silver had been stolen, and he shot three pairs of suspicious eyes into the hall, and sneered three times at the door.

"I've never heard of anyone daring to steal from the government, it's really a long experience."

Can the prefect of Fang say that the disaster relief silver was directly pulled to his house last night, and it was not placed in the treasury where the official silver was stored in the government office.

If that were the case for him and those officials who wanted to embezzle a portion of the disaster relief money, Sima Zhao's heart would be known to passers-by.

However, in the face of everyone's suspicious eyes, Governor Fang suddenly felt that he was at a loss for words.

An Xin retracted his gaze, took a sip of the teacup, and put it down with a bang.

Governor Fang was shocked in his heart, and looked up at An Xin, who had the corners of his mouth raised and evoked a sneer.

"It's better not to joke with the prefect of Fang, this official can have a certificate for you to sign the disaster relief money here."

An Xin's fingers lightly tapped on the table, making a thumping sound, which made people's hearts beat involuntarily: "Whether you really lost it or fake it, this official must see the 300,000 taels of silver."

According to the population, it was distributed to the people of Nanyang, so that they could rebuild their homes that were washed away by the flood.

If anyone dares to make up his mind about this batch of silver, the official does not mind letting him know the rigor of the laws of the Great Qian. ”

Governor Fang's face rose red, and horror flashed in his eyes, he had been an official for so many years, how could he not know that losing the disaster relief money was a capital crime of killing his head.

Seeing that An Xin and the others didn't believe that the disaster relief money was stolen at all, and even believed that it was he who was guarding and stealing it, the prefect really wanted to stand up and scold people.

He had that idea, but he also knew that with this person, it was impossible to embezzle them all.

"This official advises the prefect to go back and distribute the disaster relief money to the people as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame the official for writing to you for a crime of disadvantage."

Wanting to cause her to be infected with the plague, An Xin hooked her lips and sneered, your aunt and grandmother won't let you go bankrupt with your surname.

The prefect of Fang left An Xin and returned to his mansion, and the Nanyang officials who also saw that they were looking for him also peeked at themselves suspiciously, and angrily dropped the teacup in his hand.

Thinking that before leaving, An Xin limited him to start distributing disaster relief silver to the people within three days, otherwise she would send someone to send 800 li to the emperor to visit him.

At that time, there is no guarantee that the things he did before he was investigated will be revealed, and at that time, he will not be able to cut off a single head.

So the prefect of Fang looked in front of him, these Nanyang officials who were corrupting with him.

"Whether you believe it or not, anyway, the disaster relief money was really stolen by thieves, and this matter can't be publicized yet, don't forget that there were several of you officials who signed for it at that time.

If the court learns that we have lost the disaster relief money, we will be exiled at the least, and we will lose our heads. ”

These Nanyang officials are eager to go back to last night, and they will definitely not follow, and now the silver has not been embezzled, but has caused a commotion.

"Then don't the Inspector and Governor Li who patrolled here know about this matter, will they report this matter to the imperial court?" An official asked.

Governor Fang frowned, and glanced at everyone with a gloomy expression, "She said that as long as we start distributing disaster relief silver taels within three days, they will treat it as if nothing happened."

So you don't want everyone to be involved together, what you have done over the years is being investigated, and then you will die even worse.

The official will take out half of it, and you will share half of the rest equally, so let's smooth out this matter together, or we all wait for death. ”

After saying that, the prefect of Fang threw up his sleeves and left, he has been corrupt over the years, but he has also spent a lot of luxury in private.

Now let him take out 150,000 taels of silver at once, it can be said that these are all the silver he can mobilize, and the rest are the shops and houses that he privately received from others, and these fixed assets cannot be realized at once.

After the prefect left, the hall was annoyed and whispered.

"The money was carried into his house, and it was he who said whether it was stolen or not, and who knows?"

"Yes! Why should we let us fill his hole with silver? ”

"Uh-huh, who's to say it isn't."

“……”

More than a dozen officials, big and small, muttering, no one dared to say it out loud, after all, they were still under the hands of others, and they didn't dare to complain too loudly.

I didn't want to make up this amount of silver, but when I saw the unquestionable look on the face of the prefect Fang before leaving, I knew that they had to get this money.

Otherwise, after this matter passes, they don't want to mix in the Nanyang Mansion.

More than a dozen Nanyang officials quarreled endlessly in order to make up enough for the remaining half of the silver, each talking about their own difficulties.

Several high-ranking officials must have taken a lot when they were corrupt, leaving a sentence, "This official pays 15,000 taels, you can do it yourself." And he walked away.

The rest of these seven or eight people who usually drink soup behind them, discuss and discuss, I am eight thousand, you are seven thousand, he is six or seven noisy to divide it, and they all leave the prefect's mansion with a sad face.

There is no longer the joy and joy of everyone embezzling together, and they look like they get along well, if they don't care about their faces, they can fight for less money.

Here, when the prefect walked into the small vault where he had hidden the bribes, he saw that it was empty, and there was not even a copper plate left for him, and his head was slumped on the ground one by one.

Who not only stole the disaster relief silver, but also emptied his private treasury quietly.

"Who's it, who's it?!" Governor Fang had scarlet eyes, gritted his teeth and roared: "Don't let this official catch you, or you have to be skinned and cramped." ”

The prefect of Fang, who lost the silver, can now make up enough money in addition to selling all the properties, half of the disaster relief silver, but for a while, those properties cannot be sold in time to turn into cash.

When the chief housekeeper hurriedly came to report that the subordinates who went to deliver the food today found that the doctors who were imprisoned in the secret prison in the backyard were also rescued.

So the prefect of Fang, who was in a hurry, fainted with black eyes, and the prefect of Fang, who woke up after lying at home for a day, came to the house where the court officials lived again the next day.

However, it was unfortunate that he came, and they had already taken the voucher he signed, and pulled grain from the granary of Nanyang Mansion to a farther place for disaster relief, and they would not come back until a few days later.

In the end, the prefect of Fang could only walk out of the residence of the receiving official with a discouraged face, looked back at the vermilion gate, and thought that his bad luck in the past few days had happened after these people came.

Governor Fang's heart was excited, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and then he turned around and sat in a sedan chair and left here.

When An Xin and the others went to distribute disaster relief food this time, they also brought the three imperial doctors and the old doctor Su who was hiding in the teahouse, and the medicinal materials they brought from the capital were also taken away.

The prefect of Fang hasn't paid attention to these things for a while because of the disaster relief money in the past few days, and the people he placed next to them are here.
