Chapter 1096 Refugees
Chapter 1096
The stolen silver was quickly found out and then started to work in Xingyang.
Then, these three corrupt officials and grain merchants were interrogated in the same family.
Before, only one grain merchant confessed, but Ji Kui could not be dealt with, but now, with Fang Xiangui and Xingyang engaged, coupled with the huge amount of stolen money, it is already a scattered evidence.
In the hall, in order to alleviate the crimes, Fang Xiangui and Xingyang were engaged in the crimes and tried to deal with them with leniency.
This is even more true for grain merchants, so how dare they hide it?
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Ji Kui pointed at Fang Xiangui in anger and cursed: "You stupid thing! Liu Changqing has no evidence at all. How dare he kill the imperial officials! He is just scaring you! You don't tell yourself!"
Listening to his swearing, Fang Xiangui knelt on the ground and couldn't help but secretly glance at him. Ji Kui said it was nice, but the Qin King's sword was almost on his neck, so how could he not be afraid?
"Silent!" Liu Changqing glared: "Ji Kui! Now, what else do you have to say!"
The latter took a deep breath and said unwillingly: "I just regret that I am blind and joining stupid people like Fang Xiangui!"
"Random!" Liu Changqing was furious: "You dog official! You make a fortune from disaster! The laws of nature are not tolerated! You still don't repent!"
"Hahahaha!" Ji Kui smiled with a smile on his face when he heard this, stared at Liu Changqing and said, "Liu Changqing, I fell into your hands today, but one day, you will die under the King's Sword!"
"Beat these four people! Tear them into death row!" There was nothing to say anymore, Liu Changqing waved his hand directly.
"Liu Changqing! One day, you will die under the King's Sword-"
When he was dragged out, Ji Kui was still screaming desperately.
The corruption case in Xingyang ended, and the amount was astonishing. Although Liu Changqing had Wang Jian in hand, he did not dare to kill the county magistrate easily. Instead, he sorted out the case file, prepared the matter in detail, and passed it to Wang Ting.
A few days later, Xiao Yuan received his letter and learned about the incident, he was furious and threw the bamboo slips into the hall on the spot in the Chaogong Hall.
With a thud, the bamboo slips hit the ground, and the officials on both sides tightened their bodies and bent their waists.
"Stolen Official!" Xiao Yuan cursed angrily: "These borers! For the sake of extravagance and enjoyment, they ignore the safety of the country! Corruption and exploitation are simply useless! It's really hateful!"
In a rage, the jade beads on his forehead trembled.
Many people were so scared that they were silent when they were intimidated. Yan Ming swallowed secretly and plucked out with courage and said, "The king should calm down, corrupt officials, and all dynasties have been inevitable. Ji Kui's crimes should be punished, but the king should take care of his health..."
"Retreat!" Xiao Yuan could not relieve his anger. He rushed out of anger and left directly.
"Greatly send the king--" The ministers all bowed.
After the scattered court, people left the palace in groups of three or three. Xiao Yuan was in a bad mood and went for a walk in the back garden.
Just so happened that I met Lu Yunyan here. The couple walked together. After sitting down at the pavilion, Lu Yunyan saw that his face was not good, and he said softly: "I'm still angry."
Xiao Yuan shook his head and sighed as if he was very tired: "At the time, the world was low in Qin, we were poor and desolate, and the whole country was united, so that today's Qin State was found. At that time, there was no corruption, but now, as the country becomes more and more prosperous and richer, there are more and more corrupt officials..."
"Okay, don't get angry. Officials like Ji Kui are a very small number after all." Lu Yunyan comforted: "There are still uneven trees and weeds."
Xiao Yuan said angrily: "You would say that there was no disaster and the disaster was reported just for the sake of corruption and relief bank, how brave was he!"
"If the official is not evil, the people will not be obscene; if the people are not obscene, the career will not be defeated. Although this tree is bent, the rope will be straight." Lu Yunyan held his arm.
This is the former Queen Xuan.
After chatting with his wife, Xiao Yuan seemed to be feeling better.
Soon, his king's order was passed to Xingyang. In a furious manner, he would not have been slighted and beheaded Ji Kui and others.
At the same time, officials appointed by the court also arrived in Xingyang and were temporarily appointed as county magistrates.
After dealing with the matter here, Liu Changqing rushed to Guiyang County.
On the way, Yang Zhao couldn't help asking: "When the Xingyang case is to open up the situation from Fang Xiangui, is it the adult's sword to go wrong?"
"Haha." Liu Changqing smiled heartily and said, "We have the Qin King Sword in our hands. We can use the king's power to shock his courage."
"Sir, this move is quite dangerous. What if Fang Xiangui resisted it at that time, would he really want to kill him?" Yang Zhao said.
"You can't be killed." Liu Changqing sighed: "After all, our evidence was insufficient at that time. Fortunately, under the King's Sword, corrupt officials were scattered."
As the two were talking, they saw a large number of refugees appearing on the official road ahead, all of whom were ragged, mostly supported by wooden sticks, carrying bags, pale faces and thin skin, and rushing on the road with weak energy.
Seeing this scene, the two couldn't help but look at each other, then turned over and dismounted.
Liu Changqing was about to come forward to ask, but the refugees also found him, and immediately someone started shouting: "They are rich people, and they must have food on them!"
With this voice, the scene suddenly became turbulent. I don’t know how many refugees were, and they couldn’t help but surround Liu Changqing and others in the middle.
Seeing this, Yang Zhao instantly drew out a sharp sword, protected Liu Changqing, and glared at him for a week: "Bold! What do you want to do!"
A group of Qingyi Guards also drew their swords together to form a protective circle.
Needless to ask, these refugees must have fled the famine. They were all so hungry that they were dizzy and hadn't eaten for many days. Now some people who were well-dressed and riding horses suddenly appeared. The result is conceivable, so there is no reason not to surround them.
Seeing that they were all holding sharp weapons, a group of refugees did not dare to act rashly, but everyone's eyes were staring at the burden on the horse.
Finally, a woman couldn't help but kneel on the ground with a thin child in her arms, begging sadly: "My master, please beg me, please save my child..."
"I just want to give my child a bite, he is almost starving to death..."
The child no longer had the strength to speak, his eyes were still clear, and he was nestled in his mother's arms and looked at Liu Changqing and the others.
Yang Zhao was stunned.
Liu Changqing sighed, "Look at how much dry food there is, and give it to them."
"But sir." Yang Zhao said anxiously.
Liu Changqing raised his hand and interrupted him: "It's almost time to Guiyang. Just leave some for us to hurry up and give them the others."
"This is, yes." Yang Zhao had no choice but to respond, and then ordered everyone in the Qingyiwei.
The group of people were carrying bags and had a lot of food. After sharing, it would be enough for these refugees to fill their stomachs.
The woman was first handed a piece of cake. After taking it, she kowtowed repeatedly and cried with joy: "Thank you, thank you, thank you..."
