Chapter five hundred and ninety fourth disaster camp (for jojoo)

Liu Mingzhi hurriedly signaled He Qi to be silent: "Brother He, you can rest assured that I have no ill intentions. As a scholar, I know that these are not things worth making a fuss about!"
He Qi still didn't believe Liu Mingzhi, and looked at Liu Mingzhi cautiously: "You are definitely not a down-and-out scholar. Your appearance is too strange. It seems that you are deliberately investigating something."
Liu Mingzhi looked at He Qi with satisfaction. He was worthy of being the head catcher of the county. He felt that he was indeed quite sensitive. He was indeed full of flaws. If He Qi could not see this, he would not be suitable to stay in the position of the head catcher.
"I can't make a conclusion on whether your county magistrate Qiao Changjing is a good official, but in order to thank you for the meal and for bringing me to the refugee camp, I will go back and tell Qiao Changjing that the imperial envoy will not come out.
He will arrive at Qingzhou Mansion in three days. Write a pleading stating clearly what grievances he has. As for the truth or falsehood, justice lies in the heart of the people. If Qiao Changjing is really a good official who serves the country and the people, tell him, God will open his eyes.
, there will be no good end for those who eat the corpse position."
He Qi looked at Liu Mingzhi in surprise: "Could it be that you are one of the Imperial Envoys and are secretly investigating the situation in Qingzhou Prefecture?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at He Qi with a faint smile: "You are very smart, and you are only a small headhunter. Plus you are loyal. If the Qingzhou case is settled, I will find a good way out for you."
He Qi lowered his voice and knelt on one knee on the roof. The tough man actually shed two lines of tears: "My lord, please tell the truth about what happened in Qingzhou Prefecture. There were signs of a locust plague in Qingzhou Prefecture in February.
However, Qingzhou Governor Tong and Wu Gang thought that a few locust larvae would not cause serious harm. In April, swarms of locusts began to appear. It was not too late to provide disaster relief. However, Governor Tong actually concealed the truth about the Qingzhou locust plague until it was revealed.
He didn't know how to reflect on himself, and actually deceived his superiors and concealed the truth from others. He didn't know that more than 30,000 people died in the locust plague in the prefectures and counties of Qingzhou alone, and it is still increasing gradually. Qingzhou, which was already remote, lost a million people at once.
A perfect people!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at He Qi who was lowering his voice and crying and sighed and threw the handkerchief to He Qi: "I can't just listen to one person's words. The purpose now is to investigate the truth of the matter. If it is true as you said, these officials in Qingzhou are
I will definitely bring him to justice, give an explanation to the people of Qingzhou, and give an explanation to the innocent lives that died."
"Thank you so much, sir. Please forgive me for my disrespectful behavior in the past."
"It's okay, it's okay. It's excusable to be cautious in these troubled times. Let's go back first. I'll check the situation in the refugee camp first!"
"Sir, please be more careful. I resign from my humble position."
"Well, please be more careful."
After He Qi left, Liu Mingzhi crawled on the roof and looked at the school ground where the soldiers were being reviewed and the large open space where many houses had been demolished. Many simple tents and straw sheds had been erected on the school ground.
Liu Mingzhi frowned. These huts were too simple. The autumn nights were already getting cold. It was hard to say whether they could keep out the cold!
"There is a patrol of fifty soldiers every fifteen minutes. Are they here to guard the prisoners?"
The sun was setting and the sky was getting darker. Liu Mingzhi took advantage of the gap between the patrolling soldiers and jumped into the camp through the big tree outside.
After casually finding a place to park for a while, Liu Mingzhi looked around at the many victims crowded together in front of him.
Clear soup, I am afraid that drinking water can cause this condition. It sounds good to say that I am skinny.
Liu Mingzhi, who was hunched over, began to wander along the narrow corridors. A rough estimate was that the school grounds after the demolition of private houses accommodated nearly 60,000 people.
Liu Mingzhi was trembling all over. This was because he did not treat people as human beings. Even tens of thousands of animals would not live such a life. These Qingzhou Prefecture officials did not treat these disaster victims as human beings at all.
If Qingzhou is like this, you can imagine the states under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Prefecture.
Liu Mingzhi, who was continuing to run around, suddenly stopped and his hand was held by someone. He was startled and turned around to look. When he saw the person holding him, he hurriedly squatted down: "Brother, why are you here?"
Song Qing plucked the straw on his head and said, "I didn't bring my ID card with me. Soon after I arrived at the east gate, nothing was found and I was taken in as a refugee."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the sleeping victims around him and calmed down: "How's it going? Have you found anything?"
Song Qing's face turned cold and he clenched his fists loudly: "Third brother, there is no need to check. Just use Shang Fang's horse-killing sword to take the heads off the necks of these dog officials. There is absolutely no mistake."
Liu Mingzhi frowned: "What's going on?"
"You will know later. These officials are providing disaster relief in name, but in fact they don't regard the victims as human beings at all. When I first came in, I encountered the porridge at noon, but the porridge water was no different from plain water.
, ten people can’t hold a handful of rice in a bowl.”
"The information I got is similar. Qingzhou officials deceived the superiors and concealed the true situation of the disaster. Your Majesty asked us to come here to clean up the mess. The two hundred thousand people in Qingzhou Prefecture are living in dire straits! A little impatience will lead to big plans.
, we must investigate the truth of the matter clearly, give these dog officials a head-on blow, and see how they make excuses. Not killing them is not enough to vent their hatred."
Song Qing's face was extremely ugly: "Check, check, there is nothing to find out. The officials of Qingzhou Prefecture deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates. They used 200,000 shi of food reserves to give clean water to the victims. Isn't this corruption, perverting the law, and squandering human lives? What is it? The chopsticks floated up and the heads fell to the ground.
, the crime of giving porridge alone is enough for officials in Qingzhou to impose the death penalty."
Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly. The dragon followed the rules of disaster relief in previous dynasties. The chopsticks floated up and people's heads fell to the ground. Liu Mingzhi also wanted to beat the mahjong and uproot the Qingzhou officials as quickly as the Song and Qing Dynasties.
But Liu Mingzhi cannot do this. There are still many officials like Qiao Changjing in Qingzhou Prefecture. If he is implicated in a short time, not only will he not achieve his goal, but it will arouse public anger. The people know very well who is an upright official and who is.
He is a corrupt official, if he really acts indiscriminately.
Qingzhou Mansion is really in chaos. When people like He Qi are in danger, everyone will be in danger, and the government will force the people to rebel. Liu Mingzhi does not want to see such a thing happen.
"Brother, please be patient. I thought I couldn't go back today, but things turned out surprisingly smoothly. When we leave the camp for the victims later, we should also meet the governor of Qingzhou, Gu. I want to see him.
Is your heart black?"
Song Qing also knew that he was impulsive. Investigating a case was an investigation, and he could not act arbitrarily for his own quick pleasure. In that case, what would be the difference between him and these officials in Qingzhou.
He sighed helplessly: "Third brother, I observed the officials who were giving out porridge at noon today, and there were quite a few people with unyielding consciences, but they had to do this under pressure!"
"What I'm afraid of is that there's a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and it's hard to tell the loyal from the traitor!"ntent
