go away!You damned ssrs!

Hearing what Zhan Zhao said, Jiang Zuimo's first reaction was, could it be that the legendary release of grain in Chenzhou has become the release of grain in Qingzhou?

This is a bit far away...

Zhan Zhao heard Jiang Zuimo talking to himself, and said strangely: "The food distribution in Chenzhou ended two years ago, and Brother Bai hadn't even arrived in Kaifeng Mansion at that time."

So it's already over... Jiang Zuimo smiled awkwardly: "Is that so... Then what, Mr. Zhan continues."

Zhan Zhao briefly talked about the things in Qingzhou.

A few days ago, there was a severe famine in Qingzhou, and the locusts almost became fine, sweeping over half of Qingzhou.

Since the Chenzhou incident, Bao Zheng used the dragon head to kill Anlehou Pangyu, the officials of the Song Dynasty were very clear about disaster relief for a while. With Bao Zheng around, no one dared to stroke the tiger's beard.

But as time goes on, when people's greed comes out, things happen again.

Qingzhou officials also boldly swallowed the disaster food this time!

But the matter did not explode at the beginning, because the people in Qingzhou did not starve to death. Although all of them were pale and emaciated, even if the imperial court provided disaster relief, it was impossible for everyone to eat and drink well, so as to ensure that they would not die. There is still enough labor capacity, which is already good.

Even Bao Zheng didn't say anything about the disaster relief.

However, [-] days ago, suddenly a very strong young man ran to Kaifeng Mansion, saying that he wanted to appeal for grievances.

The young man was from Qingzhou, and he seemed to have nothing to do with the famine, but he was the official who sued Qingzhou for disaster relief, corrupted the law, and embezzled ink and disaster money.

Hearing this, Jiang Zuimo couldn't help asking: "Then how did he survive? Didn't it mean the locust plague? Shouldn't he be so hungry and skinny?"

It can still be strong, which has nothing to do with hunger.

"Master Bao also has a good temper, so he didn't beat this person out."

Zhan Zhao sighed: "At first Master Bao also thought he was lying, so he almost beat him up, but then..."

Later, the young man said that it was not because he received the disaster relief money from the court that he did not become skinny, but because he ate locusts.

"Locusts..." Jiang Zuimo muttered a few words.

Jiang Zuimo is no stranger to this thing. She has learned the story of Yao Chongzhi's locusts in history class, and knows that for a long time, the ancient times regarded locust plagues as an early warning of ominous events. Every time a locust plague appeared, the emperor would punish him. , to appease the wrath of heaven.But after Yao Chong ruled the locust, this kind of rumor was self-defeating.

However, because of the terrible ability of locusts and the slightly disgusting appearance of the insects, most people still focus on killing locusts after catching them. Only a few people who are hungry or have a strange taste, such as Cantonese, will eat them.

But in any case, locusts are indeed a kind of food to fill the stomach when they are hungry. No, it should be said that any insect is. Some taste very good, but most people cannot overcome the psychological barrier and cannot eat it. mouth.

Anyway, Jiang Zuimo himself can't do it.

"Yes, the imperial envoys for disaster relief forced them to catch the locusts and then let them eat them. This resulted in the population of Qingzhou not decreasing much, but all the food and silver for disaster relief were stolen."

Jiang Zuimo was almost stunned after hearing this: "Can I say... is this person really a very intelligent person?"

This plan is simply too ingenious, not to mention local materials, but it can also be concealed - if that person hadn't accidentally released a young man and reported it to Kaifeng Mansion, no one would have doubted the famine even after a few years The effect of disaster relief is problematic.

"But we can't conclude that Master Cui has something wrong with that person's few words. Although he is indeed a close friend of Anlehou Pangyu, Master Cui is still a very upright official on weekdays." Zhan Zhao said, "So Master Bao So he sent me to Qingzhou first to investigate whether the matter is true or not, and he went to the palace to ask the Holy Majesty to investigate."

It sounded very cautious, but Zhan Zhao still missed his whereabouts after all, presumably the man in black was sent by Master Cui to kill and silence him.

Jiang Zuimo said annoyedly: "If we hadn't taken care of Zhaojiacun's affairs at that time, we would not have exposed our whereabouts. I'm sorry, it's all because of me..."

Zhan Zhao smiled: "What does this have to do with you? I was going to the Daming Mansion to ask the Fu Yin some things. That Fu Yin and Master Cui are classmates, and they are both under Grand Master Pang..."

Having said that, Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment.

He knew why such a situation happened. It was because he was too reckless, thinking that going to the Yamen of the Daming Mansion at that time would not attract the attention of Master Cui, but now it seems that this Master Cui is far from capable. Stronger than Zhan Zhao imagined.

Zhan Zhao sighed, "I'm the one who got you involved."

Jiang Zuimo also came to his senses at this time, probably because of Zhan Zhao's appearance in the Daming Mansion, he was notified by Lord Li of the Daming Mansion to Master Cui, and then Master Cui would know that they might go to Qingzhou to investigate the case and start in advance.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zuimo smiled: "This is not a matter of getting involved, Mr. Zhan, if we don't go to the Daming Mansion, we won't be able to find out the truth about Zhao Defu's death... Well, although this person is so disgusting, find out It doesn't make any difference."

Zhan Zhao laughed, shook his head and said, "Jiang Daochang is really a wonderful person."

Jiang Zuimo: "It's just like that, anyway, I don't mean to blame Mr. Zhan. Presumably Mr. Bao would applaud Mr. Zhan if he knew that Mr. Zhan had exposed his whereabouts and found out a murder case."

Although Zhan Zhao still felt uncomfortable because his own reasons had affected the case, he had to say that after hearing Jiang Zuimo's words, he felt much better.

Bai Yutang yawned and said, "It's alright, alright, don't be emotional. Now that everything is clear, since Jiang Jiang is still willing to stay, let's set off as soon as possible tomorrow. I don't think this killer is a good match." Yes, that Cui or something, probably never thought that we could subdue him so easily, we can make a time difference."

Jiang Zuimo stroked his chin and said, "Perhaps we can also ask him to deliver a fake news, which means that we have been frightened and I have been killed. Wouldn't we have more time?"

Bai Yutang clapped his hands together, "That's a good idea, Jiang Jiang, you're still a little smart."

Jiang Zuimo said modestly: "Where is it? It's hard to compare with the fifth master. It's hard to be elegant. The main thing is that the fifth master teaches better."

Bai Yutang's proud tail was about to curl up.

Of course he taught well.

Jiang Zuimo continued: "Then, the arduous task of persuading this killer will be left to you, Fifth Master Bai!"

Bai Yutang still cocked his tail: "Don't worry about that, Fifth Master, I..."

When he said this, Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, and narrowed his eyes: "Are you lying to me?"

Jiang Zuimo looked innocent: "No way, I obviously think that those who are able will work harder. Bai Wuye is so powerful, if you don't give this task to you, who will you give it to?"

Bai Yutang: "..." Why do you think it makes sense?

Zhan Zhao suppressed a smile: "Since that's the case, then we won't affect Brother Bai's performance. Let Brother Bai live in this room, and I'll go back."

Jiang Zuimo also nodded repeatedly.

Bai Yutang: "..."

He began to think about whether he had accidentally boarded a pirate ship at some point.

The next day, the three of them woke up early and hurried to Qingzhou. As for the man in black, after Bai Yutang's overnight teaching, he vowed to change his mind and start a new life. Wash your hands, and withdraw from the world of killers.

Jiang Zuimo expressed his appreciation and affirmation of Bai Yutang's ability, Bai Yutang's tail was cocked again, but he quickly put it down.

He still remembers what happened last night clearly. He just cocked his tail, and in the end he was pushed such a troublesome task...

Let's put the tail down.

Bai Yutang thought.

They are not too far away from Qingzhou now, and they arrived at the site of Qingzhou the next night.

Zhan Zhao changed into a blue uniform. Although he was still gentle and handsome, he was not as eye-catching as before, and looked a lot more low-key. However, after standing with Bai Yutang, the two of them, one blue and one white, were both handsome young men , very eye-catching.

Jiang Zuimo could feel that his rate of turning heads had increased on the road. Of course, the main reason was that most women looked at her with jealous eyes, and a small number of them looked at Jiang Zuimo with sympathetic eyes.

This is too miserable, all the women are jealous of her.

Jiang Zuimo had already been baptized by such gazes many times in the last world, and it wasn't 01:30 who was calm.

But to her surprise, the people here are still full of vitality, and they don't feel like after the famine at all.

It seems that locusts are indeed very nutritious. These people can live so well just by eating locusts.

Bai Yutang couldn't help but said, "Smelly cat, among other things, this Master Cui is really capable. Ordinary people can't embezzle this kind of ability."

Zhan Zhao: "...But, he was indeed embezzled."

No matter how capable this person is, corruption is corruption. He can return the money to the court, and the court will not treat him badly, but he didn't. He embezzled all the money, and there was almost nothing Lost relief.

Now Zhan Zhao feels that those corrupt officials before were too stupid. If they were all corrupt like this, then the common people would not suffer any loss. As long as they cover it up well, the higher-ups won't find out...

But after all, Cui Lue was able to be proud this time mainly because of the locust disaster. If it was a flood or snow disaster, it would not be like this.

Moreover, corruption is corruption, and the money that should be used for disaster relief cannot be taken.

"It's just that..." Jiang Zuimo looked at the relatively peaceful scene on the street and sighed at the people who seemed to be in normal shape, "Isn't it hard to find evidence?"

If everyone is hungry, then there is almost no need to find evidence, just pull the hungry and skinny people out for a walk-are you not disaster relief?Why do disaster relief help so many people are still hungry?

But now everyone is still full, so it's hard to find.

Zhan Zhao looked in the direction of the government office and said, "The only thing we can do is look for the ledger."

The author has something to say: Today’s rat raising routine:

Egg yolks are a real aficionado in our house.

Before we ate pumpkins at home, my mother dug out the seeds inside and dried them for them to eat as snacks

When feeding egg yolks, the egg yolks often eat empty shells. Later, I picked them up once to pick out the plump ones, but at least three out of ten times the egg yolks were empty shells...
