Meng county magistrate and others saw Qian Li coming in and quickly piled up a smile and took the initiative to welcome him.

"I'm sorry to hear that you have lost your welcome! If you are here for disaster relief, do you have any reason not to welcome me

"Is it?"

Qian Li's eyes bypassed them and saw the wine and meat on the tables on both sides. The anger in his eyes was about to blow out.

"How interesting you are."

When Meng county magistrate and others heard his sarcastic voice, they realized that something was wrong.

"This Mr. Qian, listen to my explanation. This is not what you think. "

Qian Li pulled down his face and sneered, "explain? What is the purpose of this banquet

The more than ten people cast their eyes to the Mongolian county magistrate for help.

Mongolian county magistrate's eyes also turned quickly.

"Ah, by the way, the lower officials and others will come in person when they know that governor Qian is concerned about the common people and that they will come in person when they know that there is a breach here. Therefore, they have prepared a banquet early for the governor."

Others echoed.

"It's not bad. We're waiting for the Grand Marshal Qian to help him get rid of the dust."

"Oh? Is it? "

Qian Li glanced at the faces of the people, and everyone bowed his head.

Unexpectedly, Qian Li's tone suddenly relaxed.

"In this case, all colleagues are interested in it. Qian would like to thank you here."

When people heard this, they were forgiven.

"It's very kind of you. This disaster is a rare one in a hundred years. He's very tired. Please join us."

Qian Li waved.

"You don't have to. The disaster is urgent, and the time of this prefect is urgent. This time, I come here to check the disaster. The money and food mobilized by various counties, as well as the relief materials allocated by the general, will soon arrive in Xihe county. After finding out the local disaster situation, the Taishou party can distribute it as appropriate. "

Meng county magistrate and other people are very happy. They have been busy working for a long time, for this is not it?

Meng county magistrate said: "it's really a blessing for the people that the general and governor Qian act so quickly."

"You don't have to say polite things. By the way, why are there county magistrates in Yuanyang and Yuanyin, and in other counties? "

Qian Li recognized these ten people, all of whom were county magistrates of Bingzhou. He felt something was wrong in his heart.

Meng county magistrate said with a smile: "these 17 county magistrate colleagues, like the prefect, came to our county in person to discuss the disaster relief. I am very grateful to them and to Qian Taishou."

When they woke up, they said, "it's not bad. The Yellow River burst this time. The disaster is so serious that we should join hands to advance and retreat together."

"Oh, I see."

Qian Li was suddenly enlightened: "you are so dutiful that I will tell the imperial court and praise you for your achievements."

"Don't dare, Qian Taishou is too proud."

"I wonder how many relief supplies there are in total this time," said the magistrate

Qian Li did not hesitate to reply: "the grain collected from all over the country, as well as allocated by the imperial court, is no less than 3 million stone, the money is no less than 300 million yuan, and there are a lot of herbs."

A few people a listen, originally because of drinking and some of the red face, now added a bit of luster.

Meng county magistrate's tone couldn't help shaking.

"I don't know I don't know how much material can I get from Lin county

Qian Li bowed his head and thought for a moment: "Lao county magistrate, please tell us the details of the disaster, and then make a decision."

Meng county magistrate can't wait to call out: "good, please take your seat quickly, the lower official will say it in detail!"

Each of the 18 county magistrates, including him, seemed to be excited.

"This time in our county..."

"Wait a minute!"

Qian Li suddenly interrupted Meng county magistrate.

All the people looked at him doubtfully, but Qian Li also looked at them.

"On his way to here, the governor had to come from the mountain road because of the destruction of the official road by the flood. On the way, he passed a village and found some situations. I want to ask you for some information."

Eighteen county magistrates looked nervous. Many of them began to sweat.

Meng county magistrate's mouth twitched and his eyelids trembled.

"It's all right if you say it, but the lower officials will say everything."

"That's the best."

Qian Li said slowly, "I saw hundreds of corpses floating on the flood and floating around. These corpse capitals are not swollen yet. They are obviously the people drowned after the dike burst. Therefore, I am very curious. The breach of the levee in Lin county is a few days later than that in the other 16 places. Why is it that there are so many innocent victims here? I'll have to ask the county magistrate to explain. "

His voice was not loud, his tone was not urgent, and there was no sense of scolding or threatening. However, in the ears of the people, he was still like a talisman."This..."

Meng county magistrate repeatedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and he could not say a word in his mouth for a long time.

Qian Li was not in a hurry. He waited quietly.

But it is this seemingly calm atmosphere that makes people feel uneasy.

Of course, they just want to accept the money at the dinner table, but they don't want to accept the money together.

"Governor Qian, this matter..."

Qian Li looked at Meng Taishou: "how about this? Have you made up the reason? "

Meng county magistrate's tone was stagnant, his face changed for a while, and then his face became cold.

"What's the meaning of Qian's words?"

As soon as he changed his tone, the other seventeen county magistrates turned pale.

"It's true that we have seen the magistrate of Meng County running around day after day, and can't sleep at night. The governor Qian is so suspicious and even hard to blame. It really makes us cold hearted."

"Who can prevent such a torrential flood? It is inevitable that some people will be killed or injured. Why should we cherish it? "

Qian Li glanced around them coldly.

"It's inevitable that people will be alone? Li county magistrate has a big voice. "

Qian Li suddenly stood up with his eyes like a knife, staring at the magistrate of Li county and walking towards him step by step.

"You can't make up the story? Let's think of one for you

"In order to create a serious disaster in Lin County, you deliberately coaxed a group of people into this village. Although this village is in the east of the city and the Yellow River is in the west of the city, it is low-lying here. Once the dike breaks and the flood comes, it will inevitably suffer. These people are not spared. "

After the disaster relief, the county government will take advantage of the grain to give up the money to the people. As for you, the seventeen county magistrates, hum, I'm afraid they are also in the same boat, trying to take advantage of this opportunity to make a great fortune in our country. "

He turned his head and fixed his eyes on the magistrate of Meng county and said, "how about it? Is there anything wrong with this prefect? "

Before that Li county magistrate at this time pale, the body can not help but retreat.

"You How do you know... "

"Cough..."

Meng county magistrate suddenly coughed loudly and interrupted Li county magistrate's words.

Meng county magistrate also stood up and looked at Qian Li.

"We are dedicated to serving the country and providing relief to the people. Governor Qian, only relying on his own conjecture, blamed the imperial court officials with such desires. What is your intention?"

With his beginning, all the other people also stood up and quickly surrounded Qian Li.

"Governor Qian, please apologize to the magistrate of Mongolia."

"Yes, we have a clear conscience to the court and the people. If we don't apologize, we can't afford this job again."

"This county magistrate recurred from his old illness and needed to take a few days off. As for the disaster relief in Yuanyang County, the governor Qian should try his own way."

"It's the same with my county magistrate. It's raining heavily for days and my leg disease has recurred. I'm sorry to be with you."

All the people who were still in fear and trembling just now were furious and glared at Qian Li, looking like they were going to eat him alive.
