"Stay here?"

Song Weimin subconsciously looked around, and all he could see were rotten bones mixed with a foul stench.

His eyes were full of fear.

"Your Majesty, you can't, you can't do this!"

"This is the will, are you going to resist it and disobey it?"

"Just stay here and don't take a step away."

Guan Ning looked at him coldly, said nothing and then left with everyone.

Not long after, a frightened shout was heard from behind.

Everyone shuddered.

Visiting this mass grave during the day gives me a spooky feeling. How many days should I stay there?

I'm afraid Song Weimin might go crazy.

This kind of punishment is harsher than killing him directly...

"Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crime. I am aware of my crime. However, I have never been greedy or resold a grain of grain. I have distributed all the relief grains issued by the imperial court."

As soon as they left the area of ​​the mass graves, Tongzhou Prefect Zhang Jing knelt down.

He came in a hurry.

Having just seen with his own eyes His Majesty's punishment of Song Weimin, he himself was frightened to death.

But to tell the truth, he had never resold a single pill, nor had he done anything evil.

"You have not participated in these evil things and chaos, and you think you can sit back and relax if you distribute all the relief food, but have you ever thought about what they did?"

Guan Ning said coldly: "Have you ever supervised it?"

"Do you know how much relief grain Song Weimin resold?"

"Do you know how serious the disaster is under the rule of law?"

After being asked questions one after another, Zhang Jing lowered his head.

"I have betrayed the emperor's favor and deserve to die."

That's all he muttered.

Guan Ning shook his head, the court had appointed the wrong person.

As the saying goes, seek your own government in your position.

Laziness and inaction is also the biggest mistake, especially in the chief official position.

He thinks that since he is not corrupt, he is invulnerable and that no one can find fault with him.

But it is precisely because of poor supervision that the current evil things have occurred.

"Get up and follow me to see how miserable the people under your rule are."

Guan Ning led the brigade and continued moving forward from Maoxian County.

After walking not far, I saw a lot of refugees wearing rags.

"Open your eyes and take a good look."

Guan Ning was actually very lucky.

Despite such a famine, there was no rebellion.

He knew that this was the result of Wukong's previous preaching.

"Guan's Buddhism" has taken root in the northwest, which is why there has been no rebellion so far.

However, I'm afraid it will be too fast if things continue to develop at this rate.

If the people cannot live without food, will some people rise up and rebel?

The answer is yes!

There are countless such instances in history.

Beads of sweat broke out on Zhang Jing's forehead.

He was actually vaguely aware of the situation, but he didn't know it was so serious.

Being deceived!

Song Weimin is this piece of shit.

He cursed in his heart.

"This is a natural disaster, and it is also a man-made disaster. I am so angry when I see it. The only way to vent my anger is to kill!"

Guan Ning gritted his teeth.

"Let's go and kill people with me!"

He led a large group of soldiers and the emperor's cavalry to rush to Fucheng.

What I saw along the way needs no description.

It's not necessarily like Maoxian County, where there are officials who love the people.

But a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.

Even if you love the people and have no food, you will not be able to save the victims.

This is rotten from the top down, so it naturally needs to be dealt with from the top.

Guan Ning came to Fucheng in person.

The news of Song Weimin's arrest has spread, and the city is in turmoil.

The Jin Yiwei transferred from the capital are very efficient, and the investigation using Jin Yiwei's methods is also very fast.

Sure enough, one bad thing ruins the other.

Song Weimin was different from Pan Shun. Pan Shun was just a small county magistrate who couldn't handle things. He didn't dare to keep the grain after he got it, and he couldn't wait to sell it for fear of something going wrong.

I would rather lower the price and sell it, but it is a waste of time.

Song Weimin also resold some of the relief grain, but saved more.

He is more greedy because he wants to hoard it and sell it at a higher price.

Nine out of ten grain stores in Fucheng are involved with him, and he is the largest supplier.

There is no limit to the daily increase in food prices, and one stone can be as high as ten taels of silver.

If you can afford it, eat it. If you can't afford it, go hungry. It doesn't care whether you live or die.

His cleverness lies in the fact that no one person has everything, but he knows how to give away benefits.

Although there were deductions from the relief grains that came to the government, they were still released according to the rules.

He also gave some pointers to some county magistrates, based on the principle that everyone should make money if they have money.

That's why we've been able to do it for so long without any incident.

Of course, there were also officials who were unwilling to participate in these evil deeds, but he punished and replaced them, and even dealt with them on trumped-up charges!

Just like this, a Nanwei Mansion from top to bottom appeared!

This person is even more daring and greedy to the extreme!

According to the investigation.

In order to get more relief food, he became an old acquaintance with Zheng Xiu, the newly appointed censor in charge of the northwest.

He wrote a letter to Zheng Xiu explaining the disaster in the northwest.

It seems that his intention is for the victims, but in fact it is because of greed.

Zheng Xiu proposed it at the court meeting, which attracted Guan Ning's attention and subsequent private visit.

There is God's will in the dark.

In the end, he had such bad consequences because of his greed...

"shocking!"

Zhao Nanxing couldn't help but sighed again. This was the word he said the most.

"It has only been eight years since the new dynasty was established. Don't they have the slightest sense of awe?"

"There are people like this all the time, no matter the old or new dynasty."

Guan Ning had a gloomy face.

He somewhat understood why Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang hated those corrupt officials so much and imposed such severe death sentences.

Really, after hearing these evil things, the murderous intention was completely out of control...

"Pass it down, I will hold a public trial in the city in ten days, and behead all these corrupt officials in full view of the public!"
To be continued...
