Outside Shanghu County.

When Zhu Yuanzhang arrived at the place to provide relief to refugees, he saw refugees lined up in groups waiting to receive relief porridge.

Seeing this look, Zhu Yuanzhang felt most of his heart.

As long as Li Jin was really doing practical things for the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang thought Li Jin was a good official.

Before coming, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that Li Jin was making a fool of himself and fiddling with gimmicks.

The purpose is to attract refugees, but there is not enough food to provide relief.

If this is true, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely kill Li Jin, no matter how prosperous he would be in Shanghu County.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang knew that such officials who manipulate the people's hearts would kill many innocent people.

"Girl, I feel so happy to see these people having a full meal here."

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and saw the people who were rescued, and said affectionately to Queen Ma:

"If we had met an official like Li Jin who loved the people as much as his son, we would definitely not have rebelled."

These words fell into Zhu Di and Zhu Biao's ears, as if they were a fantasy.

It is simply incredible that a future emperor can be solved by just one bowl of rice.

But Empress Ma and Liu Bowen could understand Zhu Yuanzhang's feelings.

They all survived in that storm, so naturally they knew how cruel it would be at that time.

"Let's go and see if these rice porridge can fill your stomach."

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly wiped his eyes and said to Queen Ma, pretending to be heroic.

Empress Ma accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang forward, and they wanted to see if Li Jin's relief porridge would starve to death.

When the two walked to the porridge shed, they saw that the rice porridge in the pot was very sticky.

But what puzzled the two of them was that there were two chopsticks inserted into the pot, which looked very strange.

Empress Ma couldn't help but ask the policeman who was serving porridge for the victims:

"May I ask, why do you still have two chopsticks in your pot?"

"This is the rule of our county magistrate. The porridge cooked with relief grain must be inserted into chopsticks, otherwise they will be punished by the county magistrate."

The man answered very casually, as if he were to be taken for granted.

"Besides, if you put chopsticks in it, it will still be called rice porridge? It can only be called clear soup, which will starve people to death."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied after hearing this and praised:

"Your county magistrate is such a good official."

The servant who was serving the food immediately raised his head and said with great enthusiasm:

"That's right, our county magistrate is the best county magistrate in the world."

Empress Ma couldn't help laughing when he looked like this.

Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang walked back with Queen Ma with satisfaction.

"It seems that Li Jin is really a good official who loves the people as much as his son."

Just as the two were walking back, they saw a disaster victim dressed in a civilian and also brought a big bowl.

A large bowl of rice porridge in the bowl looked full of rice porridge.

But the man did not go to drink immediately, but instead picked up something with his chopsticks.

As a result, after choosing many times, the man got annoyed and held the bowl directly on the ground, muttering:

"There are all sand here, and even dogs don't eat it. How can I eat it?"

As he said that, he left angrily.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, he was stunned.

He hurried to the bowl that the man held down and carefully turned it over.

If you want to see why the man was ruined like this with such a big bowl of rice porridge?

After the bowl was turned over, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered the clue.

There were yellow particles of large and small in the poured rice porridge.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care how dirty the ground was, so he reached out to take out a slightly larger yellow particle from the rice porridge.

Put it in front of you and look carefully.

After watching for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly turned red, and the blue veins on his forehead were beating violently.

A gritting voice came from Zhu Yuanzhang's voice:

"Li Jin, this dog thief, actually mixed sand into the rice porridge!!"

"Is he still an individual? This dog official, we are going to kill him!!!"

The low voice contained Zhu Yuanzhang's anger soaring into the sky. Queen Ma also fell into silence when she looked at the rice porridge mixed with sand and gravel on the ground.

Zhu Di and others also saw something wrong with Zhu Yuanzhang, so they hurried forward to check it out.

After hearing Empress Ma tell the story, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di were both indignant and felt that they had read Li Jin wrongly.

After all, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di grew up in the palace, so it is really horrifying to let the people eat sand.

They all accused Li Jin and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to take Li Jin to the local law.

Only Liu Bowen frowned, thinking that things were not simple, and said:

"Your Majesty, I think this matter may not be that simple, so it's better for us to ask in person."

Zhu Yuanzhang was still very annoyed when he heard Liu Bowen's advice. He felt that he had been deceived by Li Jin.

This made him even more angry with Li Jin, but he still followed Liu Bowen's advice and said coldly:

"Let's just take a look, what is Li Jin's words?"

"Prepare the horse, let's see the true face of this dog official today!"

Liu Bowen said something and stopped him:

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to hide my identity and go to the county government."

"Only in this way can the emperor see the most real Li Jin."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, thinking that what Liu Bowen said was reasonable.

So he asked Empress Ma and Liu Bowen to accompany him to meet Li Jin for a while.

.....

The county government of Shanghu County is located on the edge of Shanghu County.

Zhu Yuanzhang soon found out the location of the county government office, and then Zhu Yuanzhang brought Empress Ma and Liu Bowen outside the county government office.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the guards to report.

The guards came forward to communicate with the yamen runners at the door, but seemed to have received a great insult. They argued with the other party with a red face and a thick neck.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly stepped forward to ask about the reason.

"Master, these yamen runners won't let me wait in."

Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately confused and asked:

"What's wrong? Do I not let me go in if I want to see the county magistrate?"

The yamen runner saw Zhu Yuanzhang's aggressive look, but he was not afraid, but instead mocked:

"It's not that you won't let you in, but that you want to see our county master and give money!!!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he felt his blood surge. The yamen runner dared to openly ask for money.

"Bastard, we have not seen a precedent for the county magistrate to give money first in the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that your county magistrate is the God of Wealth?"

"You are right. My county magistrate is the God of Wealth. No one who has ever seen my county magistrate is not rich."
