Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 547 I'm afraid I can't hide it

From the time the third master and the seventh master left the capital, they could see refugees fleeing famine along the road.The two raced faster and faster.When the elder brother returned to Beijing from Chengde and rushed to meet them from the capital, the third and seventh masters had already been in Henan for three days.

"Third brother, seventh brother, what's the situation?" The elder brother came here on order, and he didn't dare to neglect in the slightest.

"My seventh brother and I checked the situation along the way, and asked about the situation of some refugees. The drought started in about June. The disaster was not serious at that time. Although it has not rained, there is no water in the streams or rivers. Dry. The people ran a little farther and could pick up water, so they persisted. But the water could not quench their thirst, the land was still dry and cracked, and the crops died in pieces. Etc. When all the stored grain was used up, the people asked the officials to open warehouses to release grain for disaster relief. But the officials insisted on not opening warehouses to release grain because they did not get a reply from the court. So everyone had to flee outside.” said the third master.

"But Chaozhong didn't receive the memorial of the disaster here." Elder brother frowned.

"So it shows that it is the officials here who are lying to the people. They are lying to the people." Qi Ye said with a sullen face.

"Brother, you came from Beijing with Huang Ama's will. What powers and restrictions do we have in our investigation here?" asked the third master.

"I came here with a will. Huang Ama said that once we can find out the real evidence, we can remove and imprison the local officials on the spot!" said the elder brother.

"Is that the authority of the imperial envoy?" the third master asked.

Big brother nodded.

"That's good! With Huang Ama's will, it will be easy to handle things. Now that the eldest brother is here, the seventh brother and I will feel more at ease." The third master said.

Having been left out by Kangxi for several years, it was a rare opportunity to come out on business this time. Before leaving the house, he was told by Sanfujin for a long time.So this is much more sensible than before.

"Let's divide the three of us into two groups. I'm the one who will come forward in the open and speak out with Huang Ama's orders. You two should come from the dark and go on patrol in disguise. I don't believe the two investigations, one in the open and the other in the dark. Don't come to fame." The elder brother said.

"Brother, this is a good idea. Seventh brother and I also discussed it on the road. Now that brother has Huang Ama's will, it is more legitimate." The third master said.

After deciding in this way, the three of them split into two groups.

Kaifeng is the seat of Henan Governor's Office.The elder brother went directly to the government office.The third master and the seventh master dressed up as passing merchants and stayed in a slightly old inn on the street.

The governor of Henan was shocked by the big brother's arrival!According to his information, Kangxi should still be in Chengde at this time.And bring the elder brother, the prince and others together.Although there are several princes left in Beijing, the one who can really make up his mind is the fourth master.

"It's a rare visitor to come from a long way!" The governor of Henan, after a brief shock, quickly entertained the elder brother with a smile on his face.

The name Da Chitose has become popular in the past two years.Probably because the eldest elder brother occupies a long position and has made great military achievements, he has the potential to compete with the prince.

"The Lord came here at the order of Fenghuang Ama." The elder brother got straight to the point and didn't make any detours at all.

As soon as he heard that it was Kangxi's will, a trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the governor of Henan.But to be able to be a party member, the psychological quality is obviously not so bad that it will be exposed immediately.

He immediately restrained his smile, and knelt down very seriously, as if accepting the order.

"Master Ding, get up and speak quickly. This order is for the Lord, not for you." Elder brother said unhurriedly.

Governor Ding of Henan had a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, he hurriedly stood up and said, "I don't know what the purpose of Da Qiansui's decree to be a lower official is?"

"Come to check one thing." The elder brother said with a half-smile.

Mr. Ding was so calm that he even showed a smile on his face, and said: "It turns out that it is to investigate the matter. The next official will arrange a place for Da Qiantui first. You have worked hard all the way, so let's take a rest today. Next tomorrow The official will send a few capable men to assist Da Chitose."

"Master Ding, don't you want to ask Master what he is here to investigate?" Eldest brother glanced at him.

Lord Ding bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to inquire about it. If Daqiantui wants the lower official to know, he will naturally tell the lower official."

"Oh, is that so?" Eldest Brother smiled and said, "Master Ding didn't even know what I wanted to check, so he lent someone to him. Didn't he want to take the opportunity to find out the news?"

Mr. Ding waved his hands again and again, and said: "The lower official has no such intention! If Da Qiansui doesn't need it, then the lower official will not send someone."

"Master Ding, why are you panicking!" Eldest Brother knocked on the armrest of the chair with one hand and said, "That's all I said. I understand what you mean. You just need to cooperate when you need it."

"Your subordinate must cooperate!" Master Ding secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"That's how it is. I'm tired too. Prepare some hot water for me first. I need to take a bath and change clothes. The official road is so gray that I can't even see my body!" The elder brother looked down at himself in disgust.

"Wait for Da Qiantui, I will ask someone to arrange it. You have a cup of tea first. For dinner, Xia Guan will call all the people from the government office to meet Da Qiantui." Master Ding hurriedly apologized and smiled.

The elder brother raised his hand and said: "No need. Just bring it to the grandfather's room. It doesn't need to be too much, just two or three small dishes, just simple."

"Yes, yes, I understand." Master Ding nodded hastily.

In just a cup of tea, Mr. Ding has made arrangements for the elder brother's stay.Just tidy up a room in the guest room of the governor's yamen and come out.

The big brother puts on a lot of style.After taking a bath, he entered the house and never came out again.Dinner is also collected after people go in.

Master Ding couldn't figure out where he was coming from.After seeing that the lights in the elder brother's room were all turned off, he dared to call his master, staff and others to the study to discuss.

"Could it be that Beijing knew about the drought? Otherwise, why did the big brother come to us from Chengde to seal the emperor's will?" Mr. Ding was most worried about this matter.

"I heard that many refugees have escaped. My lord should seal the city," said the master.

When things started to get out of hand, the master proposed to close the city so that no one would escape and leak the news.But Master Ding hesitated.Because the closure of the city without warning will also attract the attention of others.

"It's too late to say this now." Master Ding said irritably: "What I want now is how to hide this matter from Da Qiantose's nose. I don't know if he knew about it on the way here. something."

"My lord, I'm afraid we can't hide this matter." The master said.

　Second more.
