Maid, Little Lucky Wife

A week later, all the donations were completed, and not only the relief funds for the disaster-stricken areas were enough, but also the national treasury was full again.

The prince quickly sent people to send the silver to the disaster area, and at the same time there was an imperial edict.

Mo Xuan has been busy outside these days. On the first day after leaving, the county magistrate held a reception banquet.

At the County Taiye's Mansion, there are a total of twelve dishes, including fish, meat, and even vegetables.

Mo Xuan's expression became even colder. Others looked at Mo Xuan and did not dare to move their chopsticks at all.

The common people are in dire straits, but here is so luxurious, it is really a wealthy family who is freezing to death in the smell of wine and meat.

The county magistrate came to Mo Xuan's side with a smile and said, "Master Mo, the banquet is simple, but I still hope Haihan."

Mo Xuan glanced at him calmly, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

At this time, it is not clear what extent this person has done and whether it is enough to kill him.

He was very confident that the prince would agree with him to kill the person, but he didn't know if the crime would not lead to death.

Mo Xuan picked up a glass of wine. The wine was very strong. He didn't dare to drink more for fear of delaying things, so he just took a sip.

The county magistrate's eyes were full of disappointment, but he didn't say anything. Then he suddenly raised his hand and patted it.

A group of women in cool clothes walked in with several musical instruments.

The county magistrate chuckled and said, "Sir, you have worked hard in providing disaster relief. Let's relax this time. These people are all clean, don't worry."

After he finished speaking, there was no sound at all except the sound of musical instruments. Everyone lowered their heads and did not even dare to eat the food on the table.

Recently, everyone has been eating dry food, but they dare not touch the delicious and delicious food.

Although these people are not Mo Xuan's subordinates, or even just met them, everyone knows Lord Mo's temperament.

Although he is not a strong-willed person, he can't stand such a blatant bribery.

This man is so brave. Is he stupid or ignorant for doing this?

Mo Xuan exuded a cold killing intent.

"Zero One!"

"Yes, sir!" Lingyi quickly stood up and agreed.

"Take my official seal and ask the officials to come over. Anyone who dares to disobey will be punished on the spot."

"Yes, my lord!"

Lingyi didn't hesitate at all, stood up and left directly.

The county magistrate was startled and looked at Mo Xuan with fear in his eyes.

"Sir, why are you doing this? I'm just here to help you."

At this time, even the sound of musical instruments disappeared, and the surrounding officials and subordinates all stood up, waiting for their resignation.

"Surround the county magistrate's house. The county magistrate is suspected of corruption and disregarding human life. He is temporarily imprisoned in a prison. No one else is allowed to enter or leave the county magistrate's house."

"Yes, this subordinate understands!"

Two officers in official uniforms immediately escorted the fat county magistrate.

The county magistrate tried to struggle, but was gagged just as he was about to scream.

The person in charge was arrested, and the others were trembling and did not dare to speak out.

"Sir, what should I do with these people?"

It was Lingwu who asked the question, nodding towards the accompanying squires and officials as well as the dancing girls present.

"Let them all go home, and are not allowed to go out. They are waiting for dispatch at any time."

"As for those dancing girls..."

Mo Xuan rubbed his temples with a headache, "Send them back to their respective residences and stay in their rooms if you have nothing to do."

"Yes, my lord."

When it was time for everyone to leave, Lingyi came over with the government officials. Except for a few of the government officials who were fat and looked sly, the rest were relatively thin.

Mo Xuan pointed at a fat official, "You, come here!"

The yamen servant came over, nodded and bowed, "What are your orders, sir? I will definitely tell you everything you want!"

"I just wonder how much your county magistrate has embezzled?"

"..."

The yamen servant did not dare to reply for a while, and was confused in his heart, wondering if the county magistrate still had a chance to make a comeback.

Mo Xuan pointed to a fatter one again, "Do you know the same problem?"

"I...I don't know!"

After asking several people one after another, Mo Xuan didn't know. He looked at a relatively thin yamen servant. His face was full of hesitation, and he looked at several people and wanted to eat them.

He called the person out directly, "Is it possible for you to collect evidence within seven days that the county magistrate is greedy for money and has disregarded human life?"

Unexpectedly, he changed the question directly. The officer was in a daze for a moment and nodded quickly, "I can, I can find evidence!"

Everyone else is eager to try.

Mo Xuan nodded and smiled, "Very good, let's go. Remember to keep an eye on these people and the squire and county magistrate's confidants who attended the reception banquet before."

"I'll leave the rest to you. I'll need enough evidence within seven days."

"Yes, my lord!"

Mo Xuan waved his hand and asked everyone to go down. Before leaving, he ordered people to pack half of the food and go out.

After everything was settled, everyone felt hungry.

"Okay, let's eat!"

After seeing Mo Xuan's vigorous and resolute actions, and his merciless attitude, everyone had a new understanding of this disaster relief effort.

As long as you can do things well, there will definitely be more rewards in the future.

The next day, Mo Xuan ordered Ling San to go to the government office to cooperate with others to deal with things, and they began the process of looking for water.

The land here is not suitable for growing potatoes, but a trial field can be planned.

The sand content is too high, making it extremely difficult for everyone to find groundwater.

We searched all over the mountains and valleys, but could not find any water source for the time being.

"Sir, what should I do? There is really no water nearby, right?"

Lingyi and Mo Xuan stood next to the dry river bed. Although there was a lack of water, the land was not dry and cracked, and judging from the scour marks next to it, the river once had a lot of water.

Then there must be some special reason for the river to stop flowing.

"Take two of us and let's look upstream!"

"Yes, my lord!"

This area is all mountainous, not suitable for carriages and horses, so we can only walk. The few people have good light skills and are very fast.

Finally reaching the upper reaches, after passing a mountain, I heard the sound of rushing water.

Looking at the blocked gap, the two walked from the east to the west.

"Sir, this was artificially cut off!"

Mo Xuan reached out and touched the soil. The color was different from the soil below, and the soil above was darker.

"It seems so."

Lingyi frowned and said, "Who did this? Aren't you afraid of thunder and lightning if you do such a thing? If it were later, how many victims would have died?"

Thinking of the hungry people, Ling Yi wanted to kill someone.

Mo Xuan snorted coldly, "Check is there any special place nearby? Check whether the county magistrate has contacted anyone and collected money."

"Yes, my lord!"

Knowing the source, Mo Xuan stood on the mountain nearby and looked across. The river opposite was very wide and stretched into the distance. He didn't know where it ended.

Unexpectedly, we were just providing disaster relief and would encounter such a thing. During this period, officials must be protecting each other, and the people who suffered were the people.
