    Luo Qingjue looked at Sikong Qiancheng with great interest, who worked for the emperor, and said this frankly: "Are you working for the emperor, or are the Sikong family working for the emperor?"

    "Of course, our entire Sikong family is loyal to the emperor." Sikong Qiancheng said with integrity, "As a courtier, you should die after you have dedicated yourself to death."

    Luo Qingjue smiled lightly, and did not refute Sikong Qiancheng's words. It was really not easy for that dog thief, Sikong He, to have raised a human being.

    Sikong Qiancheng didn't know what Luo Qingjue was thinking, but he was very frank in his heart. In his opinion, he was loyal to the emperor, and it was his duty to devote himself to the emperor and die.

    While the officers and soldiers of Hexi Mansion were still desperately trying to drive the refugees out, Luo Qingjue suddenly fell from the sky and appeared in Pingzhou City with a large amount of supplies.  Quickly, quickly lead people to meet him.

    Luo Qingjue looked at the magistrate who was kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to move. He didn't speak, but took the copy on the table and read it carefully: "How much is the area affected by the disaster in Hexi Prefecture, how many people are affected by the disaster, and how many fertile fields are there?"  How many, how many houses collapsed?"

    "Returning to my lord, the disaster-stricken area of ??Hexi Prefecture covers 800 kilometers, more than 300,000 people are affected, 3,000 acres of fertile land are affected, and countless houses have collapsed."

    "How are the disaster-stricken people resettled?"

    "This" The prefect of Pingzhou wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't understand why the imperial envoy arrived at the Hexi Mansion so quickly, and he arrived silently. Logically speaking, he escorted a large amount of supplies to the Hexi Mansion.  It's impossible to be so fast, and it's impossible for there to be no rumors, but this person arrived without a sound.

    "The officer is asking you something."

    "Not resettled yet. After all, there are many people affected by the disaster, and the manpower in the yamen is limited"

    "Then from the flood to the present, what have you done?"

    "Wewe report to the imperial court and ask the imperial court for support."

    "It's gone?" Luo Qingjue shot the lord magistrate with cold eyes, the magistrate shivered in fright, he was just a small magistrate, he just wanted to take care of his own land, and he didn't have any extra energy to go  Forget about anyone else.

    "Nono more."

    "I'm in the city, and I watched the officers and soldiers of the prefect's yamen drive the victims out of the city in my name. Why?" Luo Qingjue asked coolly.

    "The lower officials deserve to die, the lower officials deserve to die."

    "You really deserve to die!" Luo Qing said coldly, "The opening of the dam burst is near your Pingzhou City, and the people of Pingzhou City suffered the most.  Forget it, to even drive out the people who came to seek protection from the city is simply devoid of conscience!"

    "The lower official deserves to die, please forgive me, my lord."

    "Now is the time when you are employing people. Write down your punishment first, and then deal with it after the people affected by the disaster have been resettled."

    "Thank you, my lord, the next official will definitely make amends."

    Luo Qingjue threw the countermeasures drawn up last night to the magistrate of Pingzhou City: "According to what I wrote, copy it and send it to all prefectures and counties, and post it inside and outside the city.  Pick up food at a fixed location."

    "Opening a warehouse to release grain?" The magistrate of Pingzhou City was dumbfounded. Opening a warehouse to release grain at this time?

    "What, is there a problem?" Luo Qingjue asked.

    "This This requires the order of the governor to open the warehouse to release the grain."

    "Absurd!" Luo Qingjue scolded coldly, "I have an imperial decree from the emperor, ordering the Hexi Prefecture to open the three major granaries to help the people affected by the disaster. Why, the governor dares to disobey the emperor's order?"

    "This" The eyes of the magistrate of Pingzhou City rolled wildly. Originally, Hexi Prefecture was in a peaceful year, and it was also a major food production area. The food here could not be eaten up every year. According to the rules of the court, no matter when, the three major granaries  There must be enough food inside to deal with disasters or court wars, but it has been stable for many years, and Hexi Mansion has not followed the court rules at all. At this moment, there is not a single grain of rice in the three major granaries!

    Luo Qing never saw the look of the magistrate of Pingzhou City dodging, he knew something was wrong, fearing that there was something wrong with the three granaries, he immediately led his people to the nearest granary, took down the personnel guarding the granary by means of thunder, opened the granary,  Inside the huge granary, it was empty, not to mention food, not even a single straw, it was horribly clean!

    "Zhou Yue!" Luo Qing was furious.

    Zhou Yue, the prefect of Pingzhou, was so frightened that his legs went weak: ???My lord, it's not about the matter of the next official.  "

    "Where did the food go? Why is the granary empty? If you can't explain why" Luo Qingjue pulled out the Shangfang sword bestowed by the emperor, "I will punish you on the spot today, and your whole family will be imprisoned."  !"

    Zhou Yue was so frightened that the two groups fought: "My lord, this granary is already empty!"

    "Nonsense!"

    "My lord, I'm not talking nonsense. This granary is empty. The granary would be filled up after the autumn harvest every year. In the past few years, the Hexi Mansion has been safe and sound, and the imperial court has not fought. The grain in the granary has been taken  The officials of the Hexi Prefecture joined hands to resell them. As long as the granaries are filled again during the autumn harvest, no one will know. Who would have thought that there was a flood this year, which flooded eight hundred miles and damaged a large area of ??fertile land.  We are preparing food, and we want to fill up the granary, but those merchants sit on the ground and raise prices to make disaster money, we really can't get it together."

    "So, the three major granaries are all empty?"

    "It's all empty!"

    Luo Qingjue took a deep breath, and couldn't tell what it was like. Before leaving, Yue Yunxi reminded him that Zheng Zihao had bought a large amount of grain from Hexi Mansion at the beginning of the year, but the beginning of the year was not the season for harvesting grain.  Now it seems that the officials of Hexi Prefecture secretly resold the grain in the granary of Hexi Prefecture.

    "Opening the granary requires the order of the governor. So, the governor of Hexi Prefecture also participated in this matter?"

    Zhou Yue was so frightened that he burst into tears: "My lord, without the order of the governor, how could we dare to do this, and most of the money from reselling official food went into the pocket of the governor."

    Luo Qingjue's expression was as cold as an ice knife in the twelfth lunar month. He was really good at guarding himself. If it wasn't for the flood in Hexi Prefecture, no one would know what Hexi Prefecture officials did together.

    Luo Qingjue suddenly understood why the dam in Hexi Mansion was artificially broken. It was not because someone wanted to cover up the bean dregs project in Hexi Mansion, but because someone wanted to lure court officials to investigate Hexi Mansion, but in order to investigate Hexi Mansion  What happened in such a cruel way!

    "Come here, take down Min Wenqi, the governor of Hexi Mansion immediately!" (Remember the website address of this site: www.hlnovel.com
