Seeing this, Chen Ning whispered to Ming Lanruo: "Miss, their behavior is equivalent to not being a member of the Red Blood Legion anymore, you don't have to feel sorry."
If the Red Blood Legion does not believe in Xiao Shuai's spirit, it is not worthy of being called the Red Blood Legion!
Ming Lanruo nodded slightly and suddenly asked: "Did the red blood orphans and veterans who left General Mu's subordinates all return to their hometown?"
Manager Liu sighed, with a complicated expression and melancholy: "You can't go back to your hometown. The Red Blood Legion has been characterized by the court as having all sacrificed to the border, and all relatives have paid pensions.
Once they go back, they will be deserters who are afraid of death. The whole family will be placed in prison and even exiled to do hard labor."
"So, they also stayed in the northeastern border?" Ming Lanruo asked.
Manager Liu smiled bitterly: "Yes, those red blood orphans and veterans who left General Mu's men... are not much different from exile now. Life is very hard, and this time, they died.
Many people.”
The red blood orphan under General Mu was rebelled and could only be hidden. Once exposed, he would be chased by the court's hawks and dogs, so he could only barely make a living among the lower class people.
These people from the central and southern regions dare not respond to the red-blooded orphans who refused to serve General Mu.
After all, once they are discovered by General Mu's men, they will be driven out of the northeastern border and the contact points will be destroyed.
"Even when we destroyed our contact points, we had a life. They were still red blood, and they were just a group of bandits who grabbed territory." Chen Ning said coldly, with hatred flashing in his eyes.
Nowadays, the Red Blood Legion in the northeastern border looks like a guardian who once stood in front of thousands of people and blocked the darkness!
A deep light flashed in Minglanruo's starry eyes, and her fingertips slowly tapped the table, falling into deep thought.
After a long time, she suddenly said, "I want to meet those Red Blood Veterans who rebeled from General Mu's banner. Where are they?"
Manager Liu was stunned and then shook his head: "Miss, they will not admit their identity, nor will they pay attention to you."
Ming Lanruo smiled smartly and calmly: "Just tell me where they were there."
Manager Liu had no choice but to nod and whisper to her in detail.
Two hours later, Ming Lanruo got on the carriage, and Chen Ning and several others drove to accompany her to the inn where the Qin King was a subordinate.
Ming Lanruo returned to the inn.
Shangguan Hongye was already waiting for her in the inn. When he saw her coming in, he asked meaningfully: "How is it, Madam, have you heard of what news?"
Of course Ming Lanruo would not tell the truth, and only sighed: "I didn't find out any news, where is the high-ranking official?"
Shangguan Hongye laid his long legs on the table and lazily threw her an account book: "I know you are not aware of your hair and can't do things well. You should check this account book first. What's the problem?"
When Ming Lanruo saw that it was the record of the income and expenditure of the disaster relief officers of the Qin Palace after they arrived here.
She was excited and immediately looked up.
My father almost treated her as a boy, and learned a lot of skills from his father, and was just one of them.
Soon, she realized something was wrong.
"The expenses on this book are too little!" She frowned and couldn't help but whisper.
It has been almost three months since the disaster relief was released, and the amount of food, clothing and other materials brought by the Qin Palace was less than 5,000 taels of silver.
The Qin Palace is the first-rank prince's mansion. As a favored prince, Shangguan Hongye has his own fiefdom. In order to highlight his love for the people, the original budget was 15,000 taels.
Although it is not as good as the 500,000 taels allocated by the court, it is also a lot.
The snow disaster happened once in a hundred years, and even the capital was snowing in March. The northeastern border would definitely have heavy snow to block the mountains, which was extremely difficult.
These materials worth 15,000 taels have not been distributed!
What does this mean?
"This is the case for the distribution of disaster relief supplies from the other Prince Mu Mansions, Chaoyang Mansions and other Princes." The King of Qin sneered.
"Are the victims not allowed to enter the city?" Ming Lanruo suddenly asked.
Seeing the woman in front of her so alert and agile, a strange light flashed in Shangguan Hongye's eyes.
He lazily held the grass from nowhere and crossed his legs: "Didn't you find that Hei Liao City is too quiet and there are almost no disaster victims? Such a heavy snow disaster, even if the snow melts now, it's still a yellow one at this moment.
When it is most likely to starve people to death, Hei Liao City is in order now."
"Where have the victims gone?" Ming Lanruo frowned, and she always had a bad premonition in her heart. Where have the victims gone?
This situation is too strange. Could it be that all the victims were sent to mine?
Then mining requires food. The prefect of Hei Liaocheng has so much food, so there is no need for food for the imperial court to provide disaster relief?
Shangguan Hongye raised his eyebrows: "How did I know? I've just been here for a few days."
Ming Lanruo pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "We need to find a way to investigate the situation in Heiliao City and prepare a porridge shop. We have to donate rice and grain to see who is coming to get the porridge." This chapter has been completed!
