"Then what if His Royal Highness is unwilling to help?" Cheng Chun asked curiously.
"Then let him come to this ghost place to provide disaster relief!" Su Xubai said angrily.
Calling it disaster relief is simply a punishment. In previous years, the emperor personally directed the disaster relief work, thinking that the imperial ministers came to provide disaster relief. Unexpectedly, this year, all the money and food were allocated, but the disaster situation not only did not improve at all, but also became worse and worse.
It got worse and worse, until the refugees rioted, and the emperor sent two of them to suppress it.
Well, they are here now. They are in need of money and food. They have all been borrowed. However, the imperial envoy who really came to provide relief is very lucky. I still don’t know where he enjoys it.
Qingfu!
When Su Xubai thought of this, he felt some inexplicable resentment towards Xie Chengyin.
"By the way, I haven't seen Prince Meng for a long time. Is he okay?" Cheng Chun looked at Su Xubai and couldn't help but ask.
Su Xubai paused, then raised his eyebrows slightly: "You are quite concerned about him?"
"I haven't seen him for a long time since we got here!" Chengchun said as he got up and went to get firewood from the side, "Didn't you say they hope we die here? He won't have an accident outside, right?"
"No!" Su Xubai shook his head, "The people around him are all powerful. One against ten is not a problem!"
Since Su Xubai said this, Cheng Chun didn't ask any more questions. After all, even if something happened, she couldn't help, so she just had to do what she could!
It's just that this person always mentioned Meng Shaoqing in Chengchun during the day, and he came back at night.
At that time, Su Xubai had just returned from the camp. Not long after he sat down, he heard a large group of people approaching from outside. He immediately got up and went out, and then saw Meng Shaoqing, who was covered in dust.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Meng Shaoqing sat down in front of Su Xubai. Cheng Chun just made tea, and the two sat down to discuss things.
Looking at their appearance, Chengchun knew that he was not doing well here, so he walked out and closed the door while he and Hongdou sat at the door.
After Cheng Chun went out, Meng Shaoqing couldn't help but ask: "Why did you bring her here? You go in and out of the refugee camps all day long, and her health is so bad. Aren't you afraid of accidentally infecting her?"
"She was driven out!" Su Xubai said helplessly, "There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings! In this situation, they wish we could die outside, so naturally they won't let her stay in such a safe place.
!”
Meng Shaoqing sneered: "That's right. My people have found Hu Sheng. Why don't you guess where he is now?"
"It won't be in Huizhou after all. With the current situation in Huizhou, only we two idiots will come here!" Su Xubai raised his eyebrows slightly, then poured a cup of tea for Meng Shaoqing, "What happened after you saw it over there?
?”
"It's not that good, the entire dam was washed away!" Meng Shaoqing took a sip from the tea cup, with a look of helplessness on his face, "I went to see it, and in the past few years, the things used to repair the dam have been cut corners.
The most basic glutinous rice milk is not available. This disaster cannot be considered a natural disaster, it can only be said to be a man-made disaster!"
"Is there any evidence?" Su Xubai looked at Meng Shaoqing with a serious look on his face.
Meng Shaoqing sighed slightly, then shook his head: "The most evidence we have right now is to arrest the person who oversees the repairs. It won't hurt the big fish! As for Hu Sheng, he is very smart. I went to check the prefect's mansion.
Those boxes on the top are indeed boxes used to contain disaster relief money, he can definitely say that the Huizhou magistrate is guarding and stealing!"
Su Xubai scratched his eyebrows: "This Huizhou magistrate is not a good person. It is definitely not that simple for his wife to plan to rush out in spring!"
"Who do you think is the most dangerous person now?" Meng Shaoqing said with a half-smile while holding a tea cup.
"Of course it's us!" Su Xubai sneered, "If the two of us die here, then your Majesty, thousands of miles away, will never know what the situation in Huizhou is like, and you borrowed so much food from outside.
, it means that Huizhou really has no food. When the time comes, they will find a few merchants to make false accounts, and there will be no proof! The Huizhou prefect and Hu Sheng are at best ineffective supervision!"
"And we can also evade it by saying that the Ministry of Revenue made a mistake in making a mistake and decentralized too little disaster relief money, which caused the refugees to riot. At that time, the Ministry of Revenue will have to bear the blame!" Meng Shaoqing put down the cup in his hand and raised his eyes again.
When I did, my eyes became a little dark.
Su Xubai looked at Meng Shaoqing, sighed, and then said with a smile: "Meng Shaoqing, why are we suffering from external and internal troubles? What should we do next? We can't just chop them up!"
"I really thought about it, but then I thought about it. The big fish at the back is still hiding there. Don't feel so aggrieved!" Meng Shaoqing took a deep breath, "I have to give it to this person."
Pull out a fish, I can't eat brown rice porridge for so many days in vain!"
Su Xubai was amused: "Does your great resentment come from brown rice porridge?"
"You're still smiling. How about you? Is there anything you can do?" Meng Shaoqing raised his eyebrows with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Su Xubai shook his head helplessly: "No, there is no way. No one alive has left the camp so far. This plague is very fierce. I go in and out every day, even if my whole body is covered tightly.
, I’m also very panicked! So far, I’ve tried all the ancient prescriptions, but nothing works!”
"It's been like this, and those people didn't make a fuss?" Meng Shaoqing was a little surprised.
"What's the fuss about?" Su Xubai was a little helpless, "Your Majesty is a benevolent king, not that kind of tyrant. I'm also trying hard to find ways to save them, take care of their food, drink, and shelter, and I don't want to burn them. Anyway,
Wherever you are waiting to die, at least there is a little bit of hope!"
Meng Shaoqing pinched his eye sockets: "I got the news. Hu Sheng already knows that we have arrived in Huizhou. Huizhou can only go in and out. Most of the people who can send the news out are from the yamen. I think we should be back in a few days. Hu Sheng
That guy is simply the reincarnation of a vixen, smart and cunning. He is very troublesome. We still have to be more careful!" Reliance
Hu Sheng was a civil servant who was promoted from scholar to scholar step by step. When he first became an official, he was placed under the tutelage of Prime Minister Hao and became his disciple. Over the years, he has been under the tutelage of the good prime minister. He has been promoted step by step. At a young age,
He is already a third-rank official, and now he is an imperial envoy for disaster relief personally appointed by His Majesty.
