Chapter 672: There are many clowns in officialdom


Secret arts, white lotus, golden Buddha, these ordinary things that seem to be tricks are from the hands of a doll, and they call themselves gods, and what is the title of the ancestor, Li Renhu immediately thought of the noisy White Lotus Sect in the first few years, could it be that Li Renhu hurriedly turned his mind in his heart, and slowly walked out with the crowd at the end of the condolence.

A few days later, the Peng family officially went out of the funeral, Chen Yunan and others all came, pretending to be guests in the crowd, all the way to the cemetery, the whole funeral process was held in accordance with the local folk customs of Shandong, the religious ceremony of the White Lotus Sect did not have too many requirements for burial, even if there were some special requirements, the composition of the people participating in the funeral was complex, and the fish were mixed, and the Peng family would not take the risk of making such a big fuss, making anything too conspicuous.

Chen Yunan did not lose confidence because of this, he transferred all the people at hand, followed the girl and her party all the way, followed them to Potai, and selected a group of people who looked the most suspicious from the guests who left the Peng family and crept down.

He stayed in Qingzhou alone, while continuing to understand the situation of the Peng family, he wrote a secret letter to Ji Gang through the official post station.

At this time, the official post has just been rolled out in the country for a few years, and the rise of Jinyiwei has not been long, and the post station has not become the peripheral eyes and ears of Jinyiwei, but for the official document transmission, the official post must be going all out, Chen Yunan directly found Yicheng, revealed his identity, and a secret letter was quickly transferred to the capital with the highest standard delivery program.

Ji Gang couldn't help but be surprised and happy when he received Chen Yunan's report: he had found a treasure He has the heart to get rid of Xia Xun's shadow and establish his supremacy in the court and in the tide file, but no matter which aspect, Xia Xun is a mountain that he can't avoid, and he knows very well that his recent behavior has gradually been dissatisfied with Xia Xun, so he wants to grab some handles from Xia Xun, not to bring down Xia Xun, but just to put the handle in his hand and turn Xia Xun's resistance into his own help.

But he didn't expect that it would be possible to catch such a big handle, Ji Gang was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to rush to Shandong in person to investigate the matter, but if he wanted to leave Beijing now, the movement was too big, and in desperation, Ji Gang had to immediately deploy sufficient personnel to Shandong to increase the investigation force there.

He commanded the Eight King Kongs, directly transferred to half of Shandong, and Yin Shenghui, who was most favored by him recently, also went to Shandong, this is just the main character, plus the wrestlers, school captains, and small flags, there are hundreds of people, and these spies are under the cover of various identities, and they pounced on Shandong Mansion with great momentum.

Liu Yujue's instructions to Xia Xun are really more attentive than the holy decree, since he got Xia Xun's instructions, he went back to make arrangements overnight, and Chen Dong and Ye An'an were sent out by him.

Liu Yujue's Nanzhen also has secret agents, but there are not as many people as Beizhen, due to the relationship between the functions of the department, in the establishment of Nanzhen, there will not be so many secret detectives, and the imperial court will not allocate so much money.

However, although there are not many secret agents, it is still possible to keep an eye on the movements of a few people, Liu Yujue sent out all his limited strength, only Ji Gang and his eight King Kongs, he has few people, and can only focus on important people, and even if there are thousands of troops in Beizhen, the news will always be reported to these heads in the end, as long as you keep an eye on them, you are not afraid that you will not find the problem.

Sure enough, half of the Eight King Kongs rushed to Shandong Mansion with a large number of people The news was quickly sent to Liu Yujue by Ye An, Liu Yujue heard the news inexplicably, and immediately ordered Chen Dong to chase Shandong, Chen Dong's side as soon as it was determined that the brigade that rushed to Shandong, the target was actually the maiden home of Mrs.

Qi of the Fuguo Mansion, and immediately sent someone to send the news back, Liu Yujue was shocked when he heard the news, and Chen Dong was ordered to continue to keep an eye on it, and Ye An was ordered to continue to stare at Ji Gang, and he sent another henchman to immediately go to eastern Zhejiang to report that Xia Xun and Xia Xun had rushed to Huzhou, all the way down, The disaster relief efforts in various localities are not bad, but some officials are working very the front line.

Not to mention the fact that they are effective in disaster relief, and they have both fame and political achievements, and most officials can do their best to help the people in disaster relief, whether out of public or selfish motives.

Xia Xun is also very accurate in his own positioning, for these officials who try their best to relieve the disaster, Xia Xun does not point fingers, overstepping, speaking of familiarity with the locality, can he still be familiar with the head snake of the river Xia Xun is only responsible for solving the problems they can't solve for them.

According to the imperial court's decree, the people whose houses were flooded and had no food in store were given a bucket of rice to each Chengren, six liters from six to fourteen years old, and children under the age of five were not counted.

If the number of people in each household exceeds 10, one stone of rice will be given temporarily.

As for those who are not seriously affected by the disaster, but are only temporarily short of food due to the flood, they will be given one bucket of rice, one Chengren will borrow one bucket of rice, a family of two to five will borrow two buckets of rice, a family of six to eight will borrow three buckets of rice, and those with more than nine families will borrow four buckets of rice, all of which will be repaid without interest after the harvest in the autumn of the following year.

In these aspects, the local officials have an intricate relationship with the local forces, once this power is handed over to them, the local authorities have exerted pressure, and the local officials are not good at offending them, and they must have a headache.

In addition, we have also cracked down on businessmen who have made it difficult for the country to make money, such as accumulating housing and raising prices, and have taken advantage of the opportunity to abduct, deceive, rob, and steal criminals who have been in chaos due to the floods, and who have been unable to control the overall situation for a while.

Some people with local backgrounds and influences, the local government should not dress up in blackface, but Xia Xun doesn't care.

And there is no need for Xia Xun to urge in this regard, that Yu Shiji Yu Imperial Envoy has a little cold-faced and iron-faced Xiao Zujie's posture, as long as he is caught, he will be killed.

It seems that since Chen Ying presided over the Metropolitan Procuratorate, under his leadership, most of the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have formed such a style of handling cases, but now Xia Xun is in need of such a cool official, so he is very supportive.

Xia Xun personally called on the local gentry to donate money and materials to help themselves, and at the same time urged the Suzhou government to dredge the river to remove the stagnant water.

These things were so busy that he hurried to the next place without stopping, but he didn't know that Ji Gang had a black hand behind his back.

When Liu Yujue sent people to eastern Zhejiang to report to him, Xia Xun had already arrived in Huzhou, which was the last stop for disaster relief in person.

The disaster situation in other areas is not serious, and it is enough for the local government to save itself and the imperial court to allocate some relief food, and there is no need to go there in person.

The news from Huzhou newspaper said that the disaster situation is not as serious as Suzhou, Songzhou and other places, which is also in line with the judgment of the imperial court, it stands to reason that according to the topography of Huzhou, the flood should not be too serious, but Huzhou is in the south of Taihu Lake, compared to other regions, the disaster is still relatively serious, and it is convenient to go back to the capital from here, so it is set as the last stop by Xia Xun.

Before Xia Xun went to Huzhou, he had already sent relief grain to relieve the emergency, and he delayed for a long time in other places to provide disaster relief and dredge rivers, and when he arrived in Huzhou, the flood had subsided a lot, and most of the areas were exposed to land.

Outside the city of Huzhou, three days in advance began to coax the victims, and recruited idlers to dig a big pit, collect the dead bodies and burn them, and then bury the big pit, and so on the first day of Xia Xun's arrival, the prefect of Chang set up an account outside the city, so that he deliberately selected the refugees who stayed and looked like a little human to live in, and then the relief grain sent by the imperial court, in front of the shed area to cook porridge and alms, cooked all the thick porridge, standing chopsticks without falling.

He also invited Lang Zhong to build a medical shed, and the preparation of the doctor to ask for medicine showed that he was diligent and loved the people.

The prefect also personally went to inspect the shantytown, and asked the officials to urge, ordering the unkempt people to clean up and tidy up, to dress neatly, to comb their hair, and to wash their faces, otherwise they would not be given porridge.

As a result, the shantytowns of the victims were naturally completely renovated in an instant, everyone was neat and clean, and it seemed that the local self-help had achieved remarkable results.

It's just that in order to let these victims recover as soon as possible, the porridge that was given to them on the first day was open to eat, and some of those refugees had been eating grass and gnawing bark for too long, and they ate and drank violently, and their stomachs were a little unbearable.

When Xia Xun rushed to Huzhou, he saw such a thriving atmosphere.

Chang Yinglin, the prefect of Huzhou, led the gentry and officials in the city to welcome out of ten miles, and warmly welcomed Xia Xun to the city, and saw that the victims lived in neat and clean, unified tents, neatly dressed, although most of them were not very good, but they looked still in spirit, and saw that the court was coming, and under the organization of the officials, the refugees lined up on both sides of the road to welcome, very enthusiastic.

The porridge pot was steaming hot, and there was a burst of rice fragrance wafting from afar, Xia Xun, Xia Yuanji and others couldn't help nodding frequently when they saw it, and the Chang Governor said with a smile: "Guogong, Lord Shilang, Lord Imperial Envoy, the disaster situation in this mansion is much lighter than that in Susong, after the water is distributed, Xia Guan immediately organized the Huzhou gentry to organize self-rescue."

According to the imperial court system, the government first used the grain stored by the government to provide disaster relief, and the Huzhou gentry also donated a lot of food and clothing.

Xia Guan can say with certainty that at least the people who fled to my Huzhou capital after the flood have been properly resettled, and not a single citizen has starved to death so far."

Huzhou grain gentry Chu Meng said with emotion: "The flood is ruthless, people are affectionate, and in the face of the catastrophe, there is great love for us and other roots in the hot land, so we should share the worries of the imperial court, do our part, and benefit the people."

In the crowd of people who were forced to greet by the government, there were many men and women who were forced by the government to greet them, and the voices of the Chang Governor and the Chu Grain Gentry were very loud, and everyone could hear them clearly, and when they heard the words of these two embarrassed and evil annihilators, they were not ashamed, and a few eyes hidden behind the backs of others and not very noticeable were immediately thrown at them with hatred To be continued:
