Chapter 96 Underestimating People's Hearts

Lord Fansi, save us!

In the dark room, Fuzhou co-magistrate Li Tai and Tongzong Zhang Wenyi both knelt in front of Jiangxi governor Yuan Wenqing, crying.

Save you? I don’t know how to escape this disaster! Yuan Wenqing lowered his voice and said sternly, when the disaster began, I specifically reminded you two not to do a mess. Are you two agreeing? What’s the result now?

You two are so brave! It’s okay if the disaster relief is not good, but it also caused civil rebellion. The imperial envoy of the King of Wu has come. Who can protect you?

Yuan Fansi! The co-master Li Tai stepped forward a few steps and said in annoyance, "Who knew that the disaster was so great and so urgent?" Besides, the Ming Dynasty was so big, and there was no natural disaster in which year? Xiaguan and others were caught off guard?"

With what you say, this official shouldn't be yours! Yuan Wenqing was furious. What does it mean that there are natural disasters and man-made disasters all year? Then why didn't there be any accidents elsewhere? But something happened in Fuzhou?

As he said that, Yuan Wenqing's expression became gritted. If something happened, you would not solve it. You would deliberately conceal it and cover it up layer by layer. He brought all my officials in. Let me protect you. Who will protect me?

Lord, Lord! The magistrate Zhang Wenyi also stepped forward and begged, sir, sir, you must save us because of the past, so you have to save us. As he said that, a fifth-rank official actually cried out and was dismissed from office and was dismissed from office and was admitted. Don’t let the Jinyiwei take us!

This official was really blind before, but he actually fell in love with you two fools! Yuan Wenqing looked at the two kneeling people in front of him, his butts raised high like two dogs, and he laughed coldly.

Greedy, stupid, and incompetent.

When something happens, you are extremely brave. When something happens, you will cry and ask for it. There is no responsibility or use at all.

These two are Yuan Wenqing's local confidants. Over the years, whether they want money or goods, they have done their best and dared not neglect at all.

Yuan Wenqing is always very protective of them, but now Yuan Wenqing wants to kill them immediately to vent his anger.

However, after calming down a little, Yuan Wenqing knew that it was not the time to kill people, and if they killed them, there would be no one in Fuzhou now.

The King of Wu endured his anger because the disaster situation was the first priority and he dealt with the victims first and then the officials.

Handling officials?

Yuan Wenqing's mind suddenly appeared in Zhu Yunxi's mind, which was just smiling but frightening. The King of Wu must have killed a group of people from the capital.

So who should I kill?

He is the third-rank governor of the Ming Dynasty and a provincial governor, and he is not without followers in the court. I heard that the emperor was determined to establish the King of Wu as the crown prince. The King of Wu has a noble status, but I believe that there is still a lack of available people in the Jiadi River.

Then if I had the will to work, the King of Wu would definitely protect himself and not let him, the governor, be too embarrassed.

Once the disaster improves, I will submit a memorandum to the old emperor and praise the King of Wu. If you put the King of Wu in the line, this bad thing may turn into a good thing.

What does the King of Wu value the most? Disaster victims!

After thinking a little, Yuan Wenqing had a scheming in his heart. Looking at the two officials under his feet, his expression suddenly became softer. Get up!

Lord Fanshi!

Get up! Yuan Wenqing sighed, you two have followed me over the years and served me in front of me. Now something happens, I will naturally protect you!

Li Tai and Zhang Wenyi were immediately ecstatic.

The King of Wu values ​​the victims and the most urgent task is that you two must handle the problem well. Whatever he says, do his best to do it. Yuan Wenqing continued to speak.

The officials must be given! The two of them quickly agreed.

Although they were not very strong, they were intricate in the local area and could burst out with great energy. Not to mention anything else, if they were not approved by them, it would be a big problem to recruit civilians in the countryside.

However, there is one thing that the official needs to ask clearly!

You said!

Yuan Wenqing looked outside and lowered his voice again, what was going on in the sand in the relief grain of the victims?

This...the two looked at each other and couldn't speak.

The murderous intent in Yuan Wenqing's eyes flew away, and he was mixed with sand and was dealt with quickly.

Lord, the person who did this was the confidant of the lower-ranking officials, the granary treasury of the government office. Tongzhi Li Tai whispered, "Do you want it..."

Shut up! Yuan Wenqing scolded, "What do you do is your business, and I don't know anything." As he said that, he paused. Have you also moved the disaster relief money sent by the court?

The two looked at each other again and lowered their heads.

He really dared to move any money. Yuan Wenqing wanted to do it now. But he held back and said slowly, "If you move, you can make up for it, you can't lose a penny, and the accounts must be clear!"

Yes! Tongzhi Li Tai said quickly, "Sir, go and do it right away!"

Yuan Wenqing nodded, as if he was a little tired. Go and do what His Highness the King of Wu will do!

Yes! The two bowed and slowly retreated.

When they left the door, Yuan Wenqing's face was full of sneer.

The King of Wu was right. If something happened in Fuzhou, his vassal state could not escape responsibility, but the responsibility could be big or small.

For a vassal governor, even if you notice that local officials are corrupt and disabled, and then make things happen in time, it will be at most unknown.

As long as you rely on the King of Wu and let the backstage in the court work hard, this matter will pass by lightly.

The way to be an official is to cut off the verge of death. Anyway, they are bound to die. The most urgent task now is to clear the relationship and then step on them. The King of Wu feels that the disaster relief is not effective and he is also blinded by these fools.

Thinking of this, Yuan Wenqing gradually became calculating in his heart.

Where has His Highness the King of Wu gone?

After his words came to his voice, a master came out of the side door. Lord Fanshi heard that he had gone to the grain warehouse!

Come! Yuan Wenqing said again, and a few of them followed him in.

Change clothes for the master! Yuan Wenqing said, find older clothes!

At this moment, Zhu Yunyu was patrolling the grain warehouse. The first batch of military rations allocated by Wuchang had been in place and neatly placed in the warehouse.

Military rations are the foundation of the country. From the emperor to the ministers in the court, they were all heroes who came out of the war in troubled times. They may turn a blind eye to other things, but the military rations dare not be careless at all.

Whoever dares to move military rations must die!

Your Highness, the first batch of grain sent by Wuchang is here 150,000 stones!

Zhu Yunyu held his hands behind his back, walked and looked around the grain warehouse. The grain warehouse treasury behind him was humbly following behind.

He was just a humble official and could not be considered a court official. If Zhu Yunyu hadn't suddenly come, he would never have seen the prince of the Ming Dynasty in his life.

I don’t know if I was nervous or had other emotions in my heart, but at this moment, the treasurer’s head, face, and back were covered with cold sweat.

Check it! Zhu Yunxiu gave instructions to his side.

After the words fell, there was a snarling sound.

Liao Yong took a sharp weapon with a trough and inserted a sack of grain, slowly pulled it out, and the trough was filled with crystal clear white rice.

No sand? Zhu Yunhuang sneered in his heart. The officials in Fuzhou are not stupid enough yet, and they still know how to cover up.

The next second, Zhu Yunqiu snatched the guy from Liao Yong's hand, squatted on the ground and inserted it directly into the bottom bag of grain.

The feeling of inserting iron tools into rice and sand is different, with greater resistance and greater friction.

Zhu Yunqi slowly pulled out, his eyes full of murderous intent.

In the trough of the ironware, half of the sand.

Your Highness, please spare your life! The treasurer knelt down on the spot and shouted in horror that the food has been kept here since it was transported, and no one has touched it!

Didn't she cry when she saw the coffin? Zhu Yunxi sneered twice and wanted to argue. Could it be that the military rations were mixed with sand when they were in Wuchang?

Your Highness! The treasurer’s quack is trembling. The villain really doesn’t know, really doesn’t know!

At this time, a guard outside the grain warehouse stepped in, and His Highness and Yuan Fansi asked for a meeting.

Let him come in! Zhu Yunxiu had a cold face and looked at the good things the officials under his rule did!

Your Highness! Yuan Wenqing saluted respectfully and began to apologize as soon as he came in. He asked Your Highness to rule his ministers and for his crime of misunderstanding!

After the Fuhe River broke, I arrived at Jianchang Mansion, which was severely affected by the disaster overnight. I had not had time to see it in Fuzhou. I thought that local officials would do their best, but I didn't expect that they would be so damned.

Fuzhou Tongzhi Li Tai and Tongzhi Zhang Wenyi privately tampered with the food of the victims, used inferior products as good supplies, and even used disaster relief money distributed by the court.

Your Highness, I ask Your Highness to use the emperor’s flag to rectify the Dharma on the spot to calm the people’s hearts!

When he heard Yuan Wenqing's speech, Zhu Yunxi's eyes kept falling on the grain full of sand.

After he finished speaking, Zhu Yunxiu showed a ridicule on his face, Oh? Isn't the supervision? Then he turned his eyes to Yuan Wenqing's face, Yuan Buzheng, do you think Gu is a fool? You came to Fuzhou earlier than Gu, why did you realize that Gu was not in charge now? Gu gave you a chance just now, but you not only did not reflect on yourself, but now you are constantly clearing it. This is the way of being an official in a provincial vassal state.

As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu threw the food in his hand to the ground. The Lonely was wrong. The Lonely still underestimated the human heart, underestimated the greed, and overestimated your conscience!
