After Bai Yueguang was reborn, the regent became black

Chapter 143
In the early morning of the next day, Wu An pointed the finger at Lin Pingkang.

Called Lin Pingkang, Minister of Rites, full of private pockets.

First, moldy rice was used for the victims, causing many refugees to die.

After being discovered, rice mixed with silt was shipped in again.

So again and again to deceive the people.

Not only does he regard human life as worthless, but he also violates His Majesty's trust.

Lin Pingkang stood on the court hall with a very calm face.

He stepped forward to plead guilty and said: "It's because the lower officials are not good at supervision, and people have tampered with it."

"Lin Shangshu really knows how to shirk responsibility."

Wu An asked: "This is disaster relief food, do others dare to touch it?"

Lin Pingkang did not explain, but knelt down on his knees, facing the main hall and said:

"I have been an official for many years, and I would not use such a stupid method to greedy ink for disaster relief food."

"However, His Majesty entrusts this matter to the minister, which is the trust in the minister."

"Now that things are messed up, no matter what the reason is, I can hardly absolve myself of the blame."

"Please punish me, Your Majesty."

After Lin Pingan finished speaking, he touched his forehead to the ground and waited to be dealt with.

He thought about it all night yesterday, and he didn't understand how things turned out like this.

After he arrived in the disaster area yesterday, he immediately ordered people to replace the food with new ones.

Those disaster victims were just eating for a picture.

Seeing that the food had been changed, although there were still some complaints in my heart, the matter was temporarily under control.

Then he took the imperial physician in the palace and the private doctor to give pulses to the sick victims.

In order to prevent the victims of the disaster from getting sick, he also asked the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription.

It even distributes one bowl per person overnight.

I thought the matter would end here, but in the middle of the night, another refugee made a fuss.

He said that he accidentally saw that the bag was not grain, but sand.

Such absurd remarks came out, the refugees who did not trust him. .

Immediately gathered together, clamoring to check the grain stored in the grain depot.

At that time, he looked at the refugees who did not give up until they reached their goals.

I understood that if we want to solve this matter, we must take them to see clearly.

But this matter was so abnormal, he also kept an eye on it.

He comforted the victims and asked Wei Yu to check the warehouse in advance.

Wei Weiyu signaled that there was no problem with the food, so he took everyone to the granary to check.

Everything went well at first, but when I opened the several bags of rice that were piled up in the corner.

The boy's face changed, and the hand holding the bag began to tremble.

When he realized something was wrong, he wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Because someone in the crowd took the first step, rushed forward, and kicked the grain bag in the boy's hand to the ground.

The rice mixed with a lot of sand and soil was displayed in front of everyone like this.

Among the crowd, the victims who had been skeptical about this matter also became violent in an instant.

The scene became chaotic for a while.

He looked at the white rice that was trampled by everyone on the ground, full of doubts in his heart.

The so-called suspect does not need to be used, and the employing person is not suspected.

He asked Wei Yu to pull the rice himself.

Wei Yu has been following him for more than ten years, and he still trusts him.

So he was thinking about it, and he didn't want to understand how these bags of rice appeared in the granary.

"You don't do your job well, I will naturally punish you." Gu Yunchen who was above the high hall said coldly.

"It's just how to punish, I still have to think about it."

"Your Majesty." Wu An said again, "The matter of Lin Shangshu's embezzlement of disaster relief food has been widely circulated."

"If the punishment is light, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the people to be angry, and it will also affect His Majesty's image of sage in the hearts of the people."

Wu An frowned, looking worried for the emperor.

"What Master Wu said is true."

Several officials in the court agreed one after another.

Gu Yunchen raised his head and glanced at these ministers.

Then slowly said: "Since all the ministers feel that they should be punished severely, I don't want to take sides."

"Just take off the official uniform and wait for the punishment."

"Minister, obey the order." Lin Pingkang thanked him.

This result is not beyond his expectations.

He knew the group of people headed by the prime minister in today's court.

I will definitely spare no effort to seize this opportunity to bring him down.

But that's good too, he just took this opportunity to find out what went wrong.

Otherwise, with the hands in the dark, he can't feel at ease in doing anything.

Thinking of this, Lin Pingkang felt some comfort in his heart.

"Your Majesty is holy." Wu An said.

Then his eyes fell on Lin Pingkang, with a smile on his face.

I didn't expect Lin Ping'an to act so decisively and mercilessly.

Pulling Lin Pingkang off the horse in one fell swoop, it was not in vain that I had put so much thought into him.

"Punishment is also fined, which minister should I hand over the resettlement of refugees?" Gu Yunxi, who was sitting by the side, asked in a cold voice.

His eyes swept over the many ministers standing below.

There was silence in the court, instead of being filled with righteous indignation as before, they talked happily.

"Has anyone recommended themselves?" Gu Yunxi asked.

All the ministers of the DPRK and China lowered their heads when they heard the words.

It's the prime minister's person, and I don't want to pick it up. It's not good to contribute to this matter.

If you accidentally screw up, you will be punished.

People who are not prime ministers dare not accept.

What kind of person is Lin Shangshu? Didn't he get rid of the black hat by the prime minister?

Although they wanted to show it, they didn't dare to take risks for it.

"I spent money to support you, and this is how you repay me?"

Gu Yunchen said in displeasure, "No one dares to respond to a small refugee resettlement!"

"Your Majesty, calm down." Wu An said, "The resettlement of the victims seems simple, but there are still many things to pay attention to."

"It's better to find someone with experience."

Wu Andao: "After all, these refugees are staying in the capital, if there is a riot broke out."

"What Master Wu said is very true."

Gu Yunchen looked at Wu An coldly and said, "It's just that I didn't think carefully."

"That's not what I meant."

Wu An felt restless as Gu Yunchen stared at him.

"Let Mr. Wu be responsible for the resettlement of refugees." Gu Yunchen said with a sneer.

"This this."

Wu An didn't expect that the little emperor would entrust this matter to himself, and was at a loss for a while.

"Master Wu, do you feel that you are not competent?" Gu Yunchen asked.

"No, I'm just afraid of disappointing His Majesty's expectations." Wu An said.

"Master Wu is knowledgeable and talented, and he was appreciated by his father because of his disaster relief strategy."

"How could you disappoint me?"

Gu Yunchen looked at Wu An and said, "Master Wu, do you think what I said is right?"

"Yes, yes." Wu An said anxiously, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Since Mr. Wu has no objection, then the matter is settled like this."

Gu Yunchen warned: "If something goes wrong again, it will not be as simple as dismissal."

"Yes, yes, I will do my best." Wu An said, wiping the cold sweat off his brow.

This hot potato fell into his hands, Wu An really didn't dare to cry even if he wanted to.
