Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 406 Killing officials and grabbing food, turning grass into bandits
  "Xiaguan... Xiaguan doesn't know either."

Xu Qi's voice was trembling when he spoke now, and the clothes on his body were windless.

There was an official-killing rebellion, and local officials were unable to deal with the rebels, so they had to send a letter to Xu Qi for help, explaining that the situation in Shunde was more serious than they expected. Corruption and other things definitely existed. Local officials There must be no intention to provide disaster relief.

Those bastards are really hateful!
  Xu Qi wanted to drag out the county magistrate of Shunde and beat him.

Even if they want to be greedy, they don't care what time it is.

Coveting the government's disaster relief supplies will kill many people. Your Highness, like Your Majesty, hates corrupt officials the most. I'm afraid many people will be killed this time.

Xu Qi has been busy with matters in Panyu recently and has not had time to ask too much about the situation in other places. He just collected the documents from other places. After reading them, he thought there was no problem and let it go. He never thought that the problem would appear under their noses.

Faced with Zhu Xuan's question, Xu Qi could not respond.

Because the magistrate of Shunde even deceived him.

"Forget it, it's useless to ask you."

Zhu Xuan could also understand that Xu Qi had been very busy recently. Panyu disaster relief had already kept them busy and they had no time to care about other counties. He said loudly: "Send an order to Huaying to gather Nanhaiwei. Tomorrow I will I want to go to Shunde in person, and I want to see why the people killed officials and rebelled."

He can ignore Xu Qi's fault, but those officials who dare to be corrupt must die.

Immortality is not enough for the people to be angry.

"Yes!"

Xu Qi said tremblingly.

But before Xu Qi could leave, Yan Guan hurriedly came in and said: "Your Highness, there is a result."

Jin Yiwei's investigation happened to be back.

"Say!"

Zhu Xuan said coldly.

Yan Guan said loudly: "There is collusion and corruption between the magistrate of Shunde and the local gentry. They allocate the money allocated by His Highness to build river embankments. They are so greedy that they also embezzle the food arranged by His Highness for disaster relief. They also use it to provide relief to the disaster-stricken people every day." The porridge distributed by the people is as clear as water."

boom!
  Zhu Xuan punched the table next to him.

Xu Qi was suddenly frightened, he was so greedy.

Those officials really know how to seek death!

But this is not the end.

Yan Guan continued: "The leader of the rebellion who killed officials to seize grain had a reputation for bravery in the local area. He just questioned why the magistrate refused to send grain relief, but he was beaten up! The man refused to accept and beat himself up. He killed all the officials and used his reputation to gather more than 3,000 people to go up the mountain to become bandits. Until the news came back to us, many people have joined the rebels one after another, and now there may be 4,000 to 5,000 people."

"Your Highness, it is the lower official who deserves to die."

Xu Qi knelt down and kowtowed: "I failed to understand the local situation clearly, please punish me!"

Zhu Xuan's fist was hardened and he asked Yan Guan, "Are there any more?"

"According to statistics inside and outside Shunde County, more than 70 people died in the disaster."

"Most of them are young children and the elderly."

"The collapsed river embankments are basically ignored."

"Local officials did send people to rescue farmland, but they only saved the land of the wealthy gentry. They completely ignored the farmland of the common people and allowed it to be soaked."

“The common people’s crops are almost gone.”

At the end of Yan Guan's words, his fists became harder.

As a Jinyiwei, although he had seen many corrupt officials, in this situation, he almost couldn't help but kill someone.

Kill all the magistrates of Shunde and the wealthy gentry.

Yan Guan continued: "The man who killed officials and rebelled against him robbed a lot of food. Instead, he secretly sent food for disaster relief. But this situation came to an end soon! They didn't rob much food, and the local magistrate and wealthy gentry were robbed. I was afraid and hid the food in the city. If my subordinates guessed correctly and rebelled against that person's next plan, they might attack the city."

Shunde County has only one or two hundred guards.

A small town cannot support many soldiers.

The magistrate of Shunde was not eligible to mobilize soldiers from nearby guard posts.

If the rebels really want to attack the city, they will definitely succeed if the people's resentment is overwhelming. There may be many people in the city who are willing to open the city gates and welcome them into the city. They would starve to death under the governance of the magistrate, so they might as well just rebel.

"So that magistrate still has the nerve to send someone to ask for help?"

Zhu Xuan sneered: "When he asked for help, he didn't even dare to write the truth. He just wrote that there were evil thieves who killed officials and robbed food and rebelled. They did all kinds of evil, just to ask for help from us and save their food, property, and lives. What a Shunde The county magistrate is a good local clan."

These people treat him and the court as if they don't exist.

"The official does not know the specific situation in Shunde. This is the official's dereliction of duty."

Xu Qi continued to kowtow and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me."

The situation like that of the county magistrate must have existed for more than a day and a half.

He was able to last for such a long time, not only because he had the support of his clan, but also because he had a way to hide it from his superiors.

In the past two years of getting along, Zhu Xuan knew that Xu Qi, the prefect, could be trusted. He was not a corrupt official and was willing to do practical things. Jin Yiwei had checked it out and there was no problem. If this matter had anything to do with him, it would be due to poor supervision.

"Master Xu, please get up first!"

Zhu Xuan took a deep breath and added: "We are going to Shunde now. Yan Guan goes out of the city to send orders. All the soldiers from the Guards Battalion and the Shenji Battalion must assemble, and then let Mr. Hua come to see me."

"Yes!"

Yan Guan ran directly outside.

The moment he left, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Those corrupt officials are hateful and it’s time to go on a killing spree.

It is not a pity for corrupt officials to die.

"Your Highness really wants to go in person?"

Xu Qi said worriedly.

Zhu Xuan said coldly: "You continue to provide disaster relief in Panyu. If I don't go there myself, how can I be worthy of the people affected by the disaster? Hou Xian Zheng He, change my clothes for me."

Hou Xian, Zheng He and the others brought a set of powerful clothes that Zhu Xuan usually wears for martial arts training.

After finishing changing, he put on his knife and pistol and strode out.

Hou Xian and Zheng He were following him, one on the left and the other on the right. They also wanted to kill corrupt officials with His Highness. Those corrupt officials really deserved to die.

The moment they went out, the three masters and servants were all filled with murderous intent.

Xu Qi, who was following behind, was frightened by the fierce killing intent and did not dare to follow too closely.

He felt that His Highness was becoming more and more like His Majesty, with murderous intentions coming up. He was as scary as His Majesty, but also very much like His Majesty, devoted to the people, which was also the blessing of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Highness."

"I also need to go!"

At this time, Cen Hua chased out and said: "I can also help you kill corrupt officials."

Corrupt officials are hateful, and Cen Hua can't bear it anymore.

Zhu Xuan shook his head and said: "You stay and help me keep an eye on Ji Wenjing. I can't trust anyone else, I just trust you."

After saying that, he continued to leave.

When Cen Hua heard Zhu Xuan say that she only believed in herself, she hesitated for a moment and stopped asking to leave together. She decided to stay and could not live up to Zhu Xuan's expectations.

After leaving the city, come to the camp.

Zhu Xuan met with Hua Ying, gathered his subordinates, and through Hua Ying's orders and arrangements, took away the Nanhai Guard soldiers and went directly to Shunde.

Hua Ying also set off.

He was also furious when he learned what those officials had done.

Without killing a group of people, the corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty might have forgotten that the Lao Zhu family could not tolerate corrupt officials at all.
