The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 1190 Fraud a Corrupt Official

Fusu looked at the county magistrate, then slipped his upper armour, and asked, "There are locusts everywhere outside the city, why don't you organize the people to rescue the disaster?"

The county magistrate kowtowed and said: "The lower officials have already held a grand ceremony for priests in the city. I heard Zhang Tianshi said, and said with a smile, this is because the degree of sacrifice is not enough. It is necessary to use living people to sacrifice to the locust god in order to avoid disasters."

Fusu glanced at Xianxian Cheng, and said calmly: "Lead the way ahead, I sit in the government office, you send someone to summon Tianshi Zhang!"

As he said that, Fusu turned his head and glanced at a captain of the Qin Army. The captain rode forward and brought ten riders forward.

The county magistrate stood up and cupped his hands and said, "The lower officials are leading the way ahead!"

Fu Su nodded slightly, Zhou Shi waved his hand, dozens of warriors walked in the front, guarding the emperor in the middle, the army slowly marched into the city.

When the emperor travels, it should have been greeted by the common people, and the alleys would be empty.But because of the locust plague, the people in the city hid at home to worship the locust god...

It's really absurd to say that the phenomenon of nature worship is still very strong these days; when there is a drought, it is necessary to drive out the drought, and then ask the Dragon King of the Well for water, and the rain god for rain...

Fusu looked at the closed doors of every household, misty rain enveloped the house, and the sound of prayers inside was overwhelming, and some people even asked the God of Siming to protect them from the disaster.

It didn't take long to arrive at the government office of Maiqiu City, and Fusu sat in the main hall.

The county magistrate served tea, but the tea was still warm, and the previous captain dragged a wizard with a bruised nose and a swollen face; the captain who led the way glanced at the county captain with a strange expression.

The school captain cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this thief heard that the Emperor has arrived, and knew that his foolish tactics could no longer be used, so he turned around and was about to escape from the backyard, but was caught by the last general in the back alley."

While speaking, the principal kicked the wizard, who knelt down on the ground with a plop, and begged, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Caomin..."

Fusu sneered, and glanced coldly at the magistrate, the magistrate felt as if he had walked out of Abi Hell, so he was fooled by someone?
If it's just being fooled by people, then it's fine, but now... Now the plague of locusts is everywhere, at this critical moment...

"Chen... death penalty!"

With a plop, the county magistrate turned around and knelt down on the ground.

Fusu ignored the county magistrate who was kneeling on the ground, but looked at the county magistrate who was also pale: "Do you know about this?"

The county supervisor cupped his hands and said, "Your officer knows."

"Do you know why you didn't report it?" Fusu asked.

"Your Majesty! They embezzled all the money they had raised for disaster relief. The grassroots said everything, everything, and only hoped that the Emperor would spare his life!"

"Puff-"

This time, the county lieutenant and the county supervisor also collapsed on the ground, their faces ashen.

The wizard watched the emperor staring at him, and said loudly: "There is no locust god at first. Gongcao Zhang Guang suggested at the beginning that we should actively resist the disaster and organize the head of Guizhou to eliminate the locust disaster, but the county magistrate had other ideas and spread it out." The thing about the locust god, the collection of silver taels from the head of Guizhou, was nominally used to sacrifice to the locust god, but in fact it went into the pockets of several of them. The villain was someone they hired to pretend to be a wizard, and promised to give the villain 300 taels Silver as revenge!"

"That 300 taels of silver was spent twenty miles to sell the little lady in Chunhuayuan, and the rest are under the bed. The emperor can send someone to look for it right now, it's under the bed!"

Zhou Shi cupped his hands to ask the emperor, the emperor nodded slightly, Zhou Shi pointed to a few warriors, and those people retreated in response, and after a short while, they brought a beautiful woman and a woman wrapped in a cowhide bag. All the silver was placed in the court.

Fusu picked up the tea, but found that the tea was already cold, but he still blew away the tea leaves floating on the water cup, took a shallow sip, and then turned his eyes to the people kneeling in the hall.

"Where is Zhang Guang now?" Putting down his teacup, Fusu raised his head and asked.

"Inside the cell."

someone said loudly.

"Bring it out." Fusu said.

Under the leadership of the three elders, several warriors headed towards the prison. When the tea was completely cold, Zhang Guang arrived.

While on the road, Zhang Guang roughly understood the development process of the matter, knew that the emperor had arrived, and what the county magistrate and the others had done had been exposed, so he was naturally in a big mood.

Zhang Guang was a skinny young man who knelt on the ground and said nothing after thinking about the emperor saluting.

"Zhang Guang, let me ask you, how do you think the county magistrate, county supervisor, and county lieutenant should be dealt with?" Fusu said
"The head of the owl! Announce the crime to the world." Zhang Guang said bitterly, "The three of them did not remember the grace of God, neglected their duties, used their power for personal gain, and made friends with each other for adultery! They put the people's life and death at risk, and made money by watching the locust disaster. Public outrage!"

Fusu nodded and said: "Pull it out and chop it up, the youngest will be imprisoned, all immediate relatives will be executed, and all collateral relatives will be sent to work in the Northern Wilderness until death."

The faces of those lying down and kneeling were ashen, and they even forgot to beg for mercy.

"The order was to promote Zhang Guang to the county magistrate, and Zhou Shi showed Zhang Guang the book on the locust disaster." Fu Su picked up the cold tea and drank it down, feeling an indescribable joy in his heart.

"Thank you, Lord Long En! I will definitely lead the people of Maiqiu City to control the locust plague!" Zhang Guang said excitedly, took the book from Zhou Shi with trembling hands, and then couldn't wait to read it.

After Zhang Guang finished reading, a look of shock gradually appeared on his face.

Fusu said: "Call the pavilion chiefs from all over the country and spread this method; in addition, there is also the method of eating locusts, which are all recorded in the book. I went all the way from the north to the south and came here eating locusts. There was no abnormality. It can be seen that locusts are edible, which is a gift from heaven to the people of Daqin."

"I remember it!" Although Zhang Guang was shocked by the emperor's words, the locusts were edible, but he didn't show it too much.

Fusu raised his eyes and said: "The officers and men in the army took the locusts that our army caught from the road to the street to cook, and then distributed them to the people in the city to eat. Remember that the people in the army eat first. Use strong."

Many school lieutenants bowed their hands and took orders to retreat.

At this time, the bloody head was sent to the court immediately.

Fusu waved his hand and said: "Zhang Guang, call the pavilion chiefs from all over the place to lead the people to actively defend against this locust plague. There will be another [-] troops coming soon, and they will definitely be able to survive this natural disaster."

"My Emperor Shengming! I'm going to call the people now, my subordinate."

Fu Su nodded slightly: "I am here, if anyone still preaches the locust god, they will definitely be punished!"

"Your Majesty understands."

Fusu felt that he did not make a mistake in coming this time. If he came later, there might be a civil uprising here. What would be the result of the civil uprising?
How many people dare to rebel, then kill as many people!Even if Fusu was a person who had traveled through time, he would be no different from other emperors in dealing with this issue.
