A large group of Qingzhou officials all knelt down: "Master Liu, please forgive me. We were negligent in going out of the city to relieve the disaster. We were kidnapped by the rebel who suddenly appeared, and we had to obey the order of the rebel. The rebel Bailian said Now, if one person refuses to listen to kill ten people, and ten people refuse to listen to kill a hundred people, we can only bear the humiliation and bear the burden and let the Bailian disciples manipulate us. We are ashamed of the great trust we have given to His Majesty the Five Emperors, please punish the Lord Liu!"

"Punishment? More than [-] people were killed or injured, let alone punished. Your death is not a pity. However, when the Qingzhou government employs people with integrity, it is justifiable for you to be held hostage. Your crimes will be temporarily suppressed for trial!"

"Thank you Master Liu for your kindness, we know our mistakes, and we must hurry up to make amends!"

Liu Mingzhi held up the seal of the imperial envoy: "All civil and military officials in the Qingzhou Mansion, from the governor to the nine-rank document, obey orders."

"Please tell me, my lord!"

"You should return to the jurisdiction as soon as possible, rectify the internal affairs of the state capital, eliminate the remnant bandits of the White Lotus Sect in the city, and immediately open a warehouse to distribute food to the victims. If anything goes wrong, find a place to bury it yourself!"

The officials of Qingzhou Prefecture looked at each other before nodding hesitantly: "We obey the order."

"Remember the rules of gruel giving, two are thin and one is thick, chopsticks float up and people's heads fall to the ground. If you dare to bully this official and play tricks from it when you are young, don't blame this imperial envoy for using his head as a sacrifice to comfort the three. The spirit of all the people in heaven!"

"Yes, the lower officials must not dare to disobey!"

"Disaster relief, disaster relief is one thing. Relying on the food stored in the state treasury and the food allocated by the Ministry of Households is no different from a drop in the bucket. From now on, order the people in the city to drink gruel, and the victims with sufficient physical strength will go out of the city to catch locusts and come to the governor's office for exchange. Grain! Five catties of locusts and one catty of rice!"

"Huh? Capture locusts?"

Tong Hewu looked at Liu Mingzhi anxiously: "Lord Liu, locusts are the punishment of the locust god. If the locust god is angered, the people will probably have nothing to harvest next year!"

"Yes, Master Liu, please take it back!"

Liu Mingzhi slapped the gavel: "Anyone who dares to disobey will be determined."

"Yes!"

"This is the case in all state capitals. It is ordered that the people affected by the disaster must catch locusts if they want to drink porridge. Five catties of locusts and one catty of rice should be exchanged at the governor's office on the spot!"

"Follow the order!" intent

"Everything should be carried out according to the official's arrangement!"

"Yes, I will take my leave!"

Liu Mingzhi, who looked at the empty government office for a while, looked at Jiang Lei beside him: "Go and call Ning Zihan, the governor of Gongzhou, and tell him that I have something to ask him!"

"Yes!"

"Qin Yi!"

"The end is here!"

"Lead fifty imperial guards and three hundred dragon guards to surround the Dudu's Mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the Dudu's Mansion without the order of the official!"

"Under the order, Qin Yi resigns!"

Liu Mingzhi, who was drinking tea and meditating, heard the footsteps and opened his eyes to look at Gongzhou Inspector Ning Zihan who was following Jiang Lei: "Lord Ning, please sit down."

"Master Xie Liu."

Liu Mingzhi put down his teacup and walked down the high platform slowly: "My lord Ning, I heard from Dudu Tong that all the governors of the state capital who were threatened after being detained by the White Lotus Sect and their families were threatened with porridge. The porridge in Gongzhou is really thin, I just read your case book, Gongzhou only killed and injured more than 700 people because of the locust plague, can you tell me how you did it?"

Ning Zihan pondered for a while and looked at Liu Mingzhi standing in front of him in panic: "Reporting to my lord, the officials secretly asked the yamen servants to add rice to it. Gongzhou is the most remote, so the guards of the White Lotus Sect are quite Lazy, as long as the common people don't leave the city, they rarely ask about Gong Zhou's affairs!"

"That's how it is. I don't know how many shi's of grain there are in the Gongzhou government treasury? The emergency storage capacity in Qingzhou Xiazhou's state city should be [-] shi, right?"

"Yes, it is indeed a hundred thousand stones!"

"Then I don't know how much food is left in the Gongzhou treasury?"

"The lower officials don't know anymore, I need to go back and investigate before I can report the number to the adults!"

Liu Mingzhi gently picked up his teacup and fiddled with it for a while: "Lord Ning!"

"The subordinate is here!"

"Isn't it a good feeling to stay out of it and have to get along with others?"

"What this lord said is too profound, and I don't understand it!"

"Let's change the topic to a simple one. Why do Lord Ning think that the White Lotus Sect rebels on the top of Qingzhou City gave up the Qingzhou Mansion that has been in business for a long time before fighting?"

"Perhaps the bandits were shocked by the prestige of the Lord and the bravery of the Longwu Guards, so they had to abandon the city and flee!"

"I can't bear this high hat, so how about it, Master Ning, you go back to Gongzhou to open a warehouse to relieve the victims, and at the same time think about what is the right way to do it. If you figure it out, tell me. The officer is waiting for you at any time!"

"Yes, the officer will leave!"

Jiang Lei looked at Liu Mingzhi who was frowning and asked in a low voice: "Master Liu, the rebels in Qingzhou have already fled, and the rest is to concentrate on dealing with the locust plague. Why are you still frowning, just driving out the bandits and ending Qingzhou?" The danger is a great achievement, shouldn't your lord be happy?"

"Happy?" Liu Mingzhi put down the teacup in his hand and sighed: "Maybe, but everything seems too reasonable and often the most unreasonable. It's wishful thinking to block my mind with great work!"

"Report, Mr. Liu, the flying pigeons in the capital are passing on the letter!"

"Submit it quickly!"

"Yes!"

Liu Mingzhi took the bamboo tube handed over by the servant and hastily opened it to look through it. His deeply frowned brows finally relaxed and he smiled slightly: "Master Jiang, Minister of the Household Department, is quite generous. If there is not enough food to exchange for locusts with the common people, this Lord Jiang will send charcoal in a timely manner!"

Passed the letter paper to Jiang Lei: "Look, 30 shi of grain is not a small amount!"

Jiang Lei looked at the content on the letter paper in surprise and smiled lightly: "I have heard that this Lord Shangshu is simply a penny-pinching miser, and no one likes the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty. In fact, it will be rumored By mistake, isn't this quite generous!"

"Dafang? Jiang Lei, let's bet one tael of silver. The 30 shi of grain is definitely not for nothing. Jiang Shangshu must have encountered some trouble and asked me for help, but what is worth 30 shi of grain? Forget it. Let's see step by step!"

"Master Liu, if you arrange Jiang Shangshu like this, you won't be afraid that he will be anxious with you!"

"If you have money, you won't be in a hurry. Let's go and see the bodies of people like Gu Zhiheng first!"

"Yes, my lord, please, the last general has arranged their corpses in the backyard of the governor's office!"

"No one is near?

"Don't worry, my lord, the last general has ordered 30 guards, all of whom are one-of-a-kind experts!"

"Good job, go to the governor's mansion immediately!"

"Yes!"
