Li Shiyu quickly waved his hand and said: "I am just concerned about the imperial envoy's noble body.
I will take you to inspect it now."
Li Shiyu had his sedan carried out and asked Yang Lian to sit on it.
Yang Lian waved his hand in annoyance and said, "Walk."
Li Shiyu had no choice but to lead Yang Lian out first.
After exiting the Yamen, go to the right and first come to the Alms House.
The almshouse was a place used to take in the poor and beggars who were widowed and lonely.
Now it was crowded with people and it was very noisy and lively.
Li Shiyu asked the government servants to step forward and finally clear a path.
When Yang Lian entered, he saw that there were beddings piled on grass everywhere.
Some people were shivering from the cold and wearing thin clothes to keep warm under the beddings.
Yang Lian asked: "Master Fu, why are these people wearing unlined clothes without giving out cotton-padded clothes?"
Li Shiyu was sweating profusely and said: "I have already ordered you to go down.
Maybe my subordinates have not finished the distribution.
Please allow me to go and check."
Yang Lian shook his head: "Why bother the governor?
Let Xu Qianshi ask.
Let's continue to visit other places."
Li Shiyu had no choice but to lead a group of people to Huimin Pharmacy.
He saw a large number of patients in the pharmacy, many of whom were groaning in pain.
Yang Lian asked the doctor inside, and the doctor said that there was a lack of medicine and too few doctors.
There was simply no way to treat all the wounded.
Yang Lian asked Li Shiyu: "Hasn't the imperial court already allocated special disaster relief funds?
Why is there a shortage of medicines in Huimin Pharmacy?"
Li Shiyu said: "No, the court asked us to save ourselves and did not withdraw the disaster relief funds.
The lower officials did not know this happened."
Yang Lian said to Liu Siyu: "This matter will cause trouble to the supervisor."
Liu Siyu nodded and said: "Don't worry, Imperial Envoy, I will find out everything."
In this history, Wei Zhongxian did not gather ministers who were at odds with the Donglin Party to form the so-called eunuch party, which only managed the affairs of the inner court.
Therefore, Yang Lian did not regard Wei Zhongxian as a major harm to the Ming Dynasty.
Although he had always disliked the internal prisoners before, now he gradually began to feel that these people were not actually hateful, but rather pitiable.
The group of people continued to go to the place where the city wall collapsed, and saw some homeless people wandering at the base of the city wall with a look of shame on their faces.
Several shacks were built haphazardly here and there.
Yang Lian asked with anger on his face: "Master Li, is this your disaster relief measure?"
Li Shiyu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, I have already ordered you to go down.
It must be that the people below did not follow the instructions.
Please allow me to call them to inquire."
Yang Lian glanced at him and said, "Then ask here."
Li Shiyu bravely called the head of the government office and asked, "Didn't we say that we would build temporary accommodation for the victims?
Why are there only so many shacks?"
The class leader glanced at Yang Lian and didn't dare to say anything.
One of Xu Xianchun's Qianhu men stepped forward and kicked the squad leader to the ground.
He pulled out his embroidered spring knife and pointed it at his neck: "You are very courageous.
How dare you not answer when the superior officer asks you."
The class leader was so frightened that he shouted: "Sir, you only received one hundred yuan.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
You can build several small shacks, but you are not greedy for even one yuan."
After that, he kowtowed.
Yang Lian looked at Li Shiyu and said: "In such a big place, one hundred yuan is really a generous sum.
I remember that the imperial edict said this is not the case."
Li Shiyu immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I made a mistake as a subordinate.
Please punish me."
Yang Lian sneered and said, "It's wrong, haha.
You really know how to talk.
Get up.
We will know later whether you are guilty or wrong."
Not long after, Xu Xianchun's men sent news that the cold-proof clothes had been distributed a day ago.
Within the scope of their investigation, a total of 150 cotton-padded clothes had been distributed, accounting for less than 10% of the total number of victims.
Liu Siyu also quickly reported that among the disaster relief funds distributed by the imperial court, Yangzhou included a total of 3,000 yuan in medical silver, 5,000 yuan in cotton-padded clothing, and a total of 25,000 yuan in living expenses for the victims.
All have been distributed to Yangzhou Prefecture by the Chief Secretary.
Li Shiyu's ghost was so strong that he knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy, it is not that much.
The Chief Secretary only paid a total of 18,000 yuan.
Please investigate, Your Majesty."
Yang Lian sneered and said: "Eighteen thousand yuan is enough for you to buy medicine.
You can also give out some more cotton-padded clothes.
Did you use 1,800 yuan?"
Li Shiyu lowered his head and said nothing, and Yang Lian said: "Tie this thief up, please bring out Shang Fang's sword and kill him."
Li Shiyu shouted: "I am a fourth-grade official, you can't kill me."
Yang Lian smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out you are a fourth-rank official.
I'm so sorry.
My sword can kill third-rank officials.
Unless you are a second-rank official, you can't escape with this sword."
Li Shiyu's face was ashen and he didn't even bother to cry out for injustice.
The Jin Yiwei stepped forward and kicked him over, took his black gauze, stripped off his official uniform, and chopped off his head on the ground with a knife.
The officials from the Yangzhou Prefecture who were accompanying him were so frightened that they peed their pants.
Yang Lian said: "Liu Tongzhi, you will temporarily act as the prefect and manage the relief work for the victims.
This imperial envoy will also visit various places.
In half a month, I will return to Yangzhou.
If there is anything I am dissatisfied with, he will be your role model.
If If you do a good job, I will make you the prefect."
I know that Liu Qiancheng is both happy and worried.
He is happy that the imperial envoy has given him an opportunity to correct his previous mistakes with his subordinates.
What he is worried about is that the money withdrawn from the superiors is not enough, and he dare not ask for it.
This is a Trouble.
Yang Lian's next words made him feel relieved: "Relief will be carried out according to the amount withdrawn above.
If there is not enough money, we will take it from the government to make up for it.
I will go to the Chief Secretary of the Civil Service and the money owed will be withdrawn."
After giving the instructions, Yang Lian went directly to Nanjing to investigate the discrepancy in the amount of money withdrawn.
As soon as he arrived in Nanjing, someone reported to Wang Zhi and asked for an audience.
He is the younger brother of Wang Qia, the censor of Youqiandu, and is a typical Donglin Party member.
He was originally the supervisor of the Baoyuan Bureau of Nanzhili.

Since the issuance of new coins, the Baoyuan Bureau stopped minting coins and did not assign new tasks to them.
They have been undergoing inspections from the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing.
The Household Department joined the Nanjing Household Department and sent four people to check the bank accounts of the Dingyuan Bureau.
It can be said that it is completely useless for these people to put the vast amount of bills here.
After more than a year of checking, they only checked less than 1%.
Wang Zhi and others had no hope of promotion.
They could only accompany the officials of the Ministry of Revenue to clear their accounts every day.
It was impossible to say that they were not resentful.
But it’s hard to violate the holy command, so what can be done?
As soon as Wang Zhi came in, he said directly: "Wen Ru, you have gone too far in Yangzhou.
Li Shiyu is also a member of my Donglin party and a fourth-rank official.
You just killed him, and others still think that I am a member of Donglin's internal strife. " Yang Lian did not answer.
He asked someone to serve tea first, and then said: "Brother Wenqing, Li Shiyu received 18,000 yuan from the superiors, but only spent 800 yuan on disaster relief, and the rest was divided among himself.
Do you think such people should not be killed?"
