Chapter 123, greed

The heavy rain continued for three days, and a large number of victims poured into the county, but fortunately, with the presence of people from the Tianyun Pavilion and the Heavenly Master Pavilion, the victims did not dare to make a mistake, and were arranged to live in a temporary rain shelter, and received porridge and drank at the granary every day.

In a few days, the bruises on Lin Zheng's back had long disappeared, and he was able to move freely.

Although Li Yu was seriously injured, he got out of bed earlier than Lin Zheng, and always commanded outside to make reasonable arrangements for the victims.

Wang Zixuan stood at the window on the third floor of the Nine Gate Inn, looking at Li Yu who was alive and well, and couldn't help but snort coldly, in his eyes, it was really a waste for Tianyun Pavilion's Great Returning Pill to be used on Li Yu.

At this time, he saw Lin Zheng who appeared next to Li Yu again, and when he turned his head, he found that Lin Zheng was no longer there.

Wang Zixuan looked helpless, Tiannian really didn't understand the truth of stealing half a day's leisure.

"What's the situation?" Lin Zheng stood beside Li Yu and stood with his hands in his hands.

Li Yu saw that Lin Zheng walked out unharmed, first bowed, and then reported truthfully: "There are more than 700 new victims in the county, and now they are living in a temporary rain shelter in the west of the county. ”

Lin Zheng nodded with satisfaction when he heard Li Yu's report, stretched out his hand to catch some rain, and looked at the sky again: "At most, one more day, this rain will definitely stop." ”

Li Yu stood beside Lin Zheng, and after a long time, he bowed deeply and said sincerely: "Li Yu, thank you for your kindness." ”

His memory stayed on his fall from the branch, but he had already learned from Qi Fax and Lu Menghua that Lin Zheng had run away with his life behind him, and he did not leave his own thing when he fainted from exhaustion, and he was happy and convinced of Lin Zheng Li Yu from then on.

"It's all a family, thank you for what?" Lin Zheng shook his head with a light smile, walked into the rain with an umbrella and walked towards the county mansion.

Li Yu looked at Lin Zheng's back, overlapping with the back in his memory in a trance.

The county magistrate's office, Gou County's magistrate, heard that Lin Zheng was coming, so he didn't care about taking an umbrella, and immediately ran to the gate to meet Lin Zheng in the rain.

Seeing the figure standing in the rain, Gou Xian Ling breathed a sigh of relief, although he had heard that Lin Zheng was fine, he was still worried in his heart, and at this time, seeing Lin Zheng standing in front of him safe and sound, Gou County Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely: "Lord Lin, it's really good that you are fine." ”

Lin Zheng smiled, and stepped forward to block Gou County's order under the umbrella: "Let's go in and say?"

"Okay, good!" Gou County Ling nodded immediately, and at the same time did not forget to tell the people around him to show Lin Zheng tea.

The two walked into the lobby, Lin Zheng was in the upper position with a tea cup in his hand, and the lower position was the county commander's wife holding a dry towel and carefully wiping it for the county order.

"My lord, I was worried for a while when you came back from a coma that day, but now that you are safe and sound, the villain's heart is also relieved. Gou County Ling took the towel from Mrs. County Ling and said while wiping the rain by himself.

"Thank you Gou County for your concern. Lin Zheng put down the teacup: "Actually, I came this time to tell Gou County that I was about to leave." ”

"Huh?" Gou Xian Ling was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then intersected: "But, but this disaster has not passed, if the adults leave......

"Gou County Order. Lin Zheng suddenly interrupted.

"Yes. Gou Xian Ling forgot his identity for a while because he was anxious, and when he saw Lin Zheng talking, he immediately shut up.

"This heavy rain will stop in one day at most, all the victims in the county have lived in shelters in an orderly manner, and the demon beasts have been eliminated, the Heavenly Master Pavilion and the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion have done enough, and it will not be you who will continue to do the county order here." Lin Zheng paused for a moment, and then said: "You are not the only county in the entire Zhou Dynasty, understand?"

Gou Xianling nodded silently: "The villain has lost his words, and I hope the adults will forgive me." ”

Lin Zheng stood up: "If there is a disaster in the future, the number of people from the Heavenly Master Pavilion in this county will be reduced." ”

"My lord?" Gou Xianling immediately stood up and wanted to make amends to Lin Zheng.

"Don't worry. Lin Zheng hurriedly supported Gou County, who was about to kneel: "I won't send someone not because you offended me, but because you are a good official." ”

Gou Xianling was stunned on the spot for a while when he heard this, thinking that Lin Zheng was going to blame himself, but he didn't expect it to be this reason.

"You can do well without the Heavenly Master Pavilion and the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion, keep it up. Lin Zheng patted Gou County's shoulder meaningfully, turned around and walked out of the lobby.

"Thank you, sir!" Gou Xian Ling bowed behind him.

Lin Zheng walked out of the gate of the county mansion, and Wang Zixuan, who had been waiting at the gate of the county mansion for a long time, walked out in time, and asked Lin Zheng with an umbrella: "Let's go back to the imperial city?"

Lin Zheng shook his head decisively: "Now that the disaster relief food money in the court has been distributed, let's go to the surrounding counties to see which one dares to embezzle this disaster relief fund." ”

"It's all up to the sky. Wang Zixuan said, comparing a color towards the dark place, and immediately someone went down to summon people and prepared to leave.

It wasn't until Wang Zixuan and Lin Zheng led people out of this county that Lin Zheng looked back at the name of this county, Ping'an County.

"What a safe county. Lin Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and turned around with Wang Zixuan and rode towards the next county.

Shiraishi Prefecture, Prefectural Prefecture.

Bai Xianling and several other officials looked at the disaster relief money in front of them, packed in wooden boxes, and pondered for a long time, until the hot tea turned into cold tea, and Bai Xianling slowly spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this disaster relief money is placed here, do you want to take it?"

On the right hand side of Bai Xianling, a middle-aged man with a goatee spoke: "Lord Bai is really asking this question, all of you here are corrupt officials for many years, this money must be taken, the question is how much to take, how to take it? If you take too much, the disaster victims outside will be hungry, and then they will join forces to sue us, but it will not be good." ”

"Yes, who here is not so greedy that killing ten heads is not enough to apologize? Being found is nothing more than a life, the more greedy you are, the more you will earn, but if you want to spend this money safely, you still have to take a good measure. On the left hand of Bai Xianling, a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard said with a smile.

"Is this not easy?" Bai Xian Ling stepped forward to open the box and took out some silver.

"What kind of rice porridge do the victims drink, just drink the rice bran, this money is enough for those victims to drink two bowls of rice bran every day, they are already very happy, as for the rest of the ......" Bai Xian Ling looked at the two people around him with treacherous eyes: "The rest of these, I am forty percent of each of you are thirty percent, how about it?"

"Hehe, Lord Bai, the cooked porridge is not easy to divide, isn't it easy to divide the amount of silver?" The middle-aged man with a goatee smiled contemptuously: "Three into three per person, and the rest depends on your face, we don't fight, how about it?"

The white middle-aged man nodded: "This is good, we won't fight with you for the rest." ”

"It's okay to come like this, but I don't know how long it will rain this rain, and when the rice bran is not enough, the two adults will pay to buy it, and I will be happy to be idle." ”

Bai Xian Ling smiled, as if he really didn't care, and sat back in his chair.

The goatee man and the white man were also a little uncertain when they saw Bai Xianling's appearance, how long the rain would continue to fall, the two of them really didn't know, if it really rained for a long time, wouldn't the two of them lose money? And they were in trouble for a long time.

"Since Lord Bai still has such a layer to consider......" The goatee man made eye contact with the white man: "That's still according to what Lord Bai said, but after this rice bran is eaten, Lord Bai will continue to pay, and the two of us don't care at all." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Bai Xian Ling nodded with a smile: "I will bear all the expenses after that, you can rest assured." ”

"Since it's decided, then I'll leave the rest to Lord Bai, and I'll ask Lord Bai to send the volume to our house later. ”

After the two finished speaking, they left the Baixian Mansion.

Bai Xian Ling sat on the chair, watched the two of them leave, and secretly cursed the two stocks in his heart, this rain will stop in a day or two at most, even if the water is stagnant, it will only take two or three days to drain up the money he allocated to buy rice bran, and he doesn't need to buy so much rice bran at all.

"Oh, I still say that I am a corrupt official, just this little brain, what kind of corrupt official? Sooner or later, I will die!" Bai Xianling laughed wildly for a while, and then divided two cents of silver for people to send to the two people's mansions, and asked people to buy rice bran and boil rice bran outside the grain depot for the victims to drink, and he pocketed most of the disaster relief funds without any effort.

A few days later, outside Shiraishi County.

It rained for a few days, and then there was no sunlight for a few days, and today was finally a rare good weather, and the long-lost sun shone on the face, and the itchy mood also improved.

Lin Zheng immediately stretched his waist: "Although there are cases of corruption in the first few counties, it is not serious, it is not a serious crime, and the imperial court deliberately issued more silver taels to buy it off, I hope this Baishi County can also be like this." ”

Wang Zixuan smiled and nodded: "It may be that the news of our inspections in various counties has spread, even if it is really a corrupt official, he will not dare to be corrupt this time, so he can have this good result." ”

Now in the county, Lin Zheng Zixuan did not go to place the county order here, but first went to check the rain shelter for the victims.

Along the way, the victims did not show restlessness, which Lin Zheng was quite satisfied with.

"That's the front. Lin Zheng saw the looming rain shelter in front of him and said with a smile.

The two stepped forward and carefully inspected it, although the shelter was a little dilapidated, but there was no rain leakage, although it was not too dry, but it was very warm, and it could indeed be used as a temporary shelter.

"It seems that there is no serious corruption in the county ordinance here. Lin Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

Suddenly, Lin Zheng caught a glimpse of the mother holding the child on the side, and the mother was carefully feeding the child something with a bowl in her hand.

Lin Zheng thought that there would be rice porridge in the bowl, but the child spit it out violently without taking a few sips.
