Chapter 803 No one starved to death

When he returned to Wanchun Garden, he happened to encounter Mr. Gao walking out, and Liu Yunxiang hurriedly called him.

"Your High School, can the boss of Luoxia Satin Village reply?"

Gao Yuanwai paused for a moment, then said embarrassedly: "Look at my brain, I forgot about this. Don't worry, I will help you get in touch with her as soon as possible. You'll just wait for my reply."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Hao Yuanwai is busy with business, I'll cause trouble for you."

"No, no, a small matter."

Gao Yuanwai seemed to have something urgent to do, so he hurriedly said a few words and left quickly.

Liu Yunxiang returned to the house and slept for a while. When she woke up, it was almost dark. After waiting for a while, Hongxuan and the other three finally came back.

Feng Zheng was yelling that he was hungry and went to the kitchen to find food before he even entered the hall.

Hongxuan and Xue Changfeng came in and saw that they were tired on their faces. Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to pour tea for them first and then prepare the meal.

Hongxuan waved his hand, "We are not hungry, we just did a whole day of work and were very tired..."

Xue Changfeng also said: "Yes, his back and back are sore, his arms and legs are going to be ruined."

After they had a tea and took a break, they talked about what happened today. When they went to Qi County, the magistrate of Qi County was taking the people to dig a canal, and they worked so hard that they were from the age of sixty or seventy to the age of three years old, and there was no idle person on the street, so they went to dig a canal.

"Due to the climate in Yanzhou, there will be a drought in three to five years, and the people will suffer. So they proposed to introduce the Lu River water into the Liang River in Yanzhou to fill the Liang River water, and then dig the old canal left by the previous dynasty to irrigate the fields of several counties below Yanzhou. This was proposed by Yang He, and the court also approved it. However, the riot in the Nanzhou Province, the court cut off the silver, causing the project to be delayed again and again. Yang He ordered local officials to take the lead and call on the people to take charge of the part of their own county. At that time, I heard about this matter and felt that Yang He was unlucky in the opposite sex. If this matter is to be accomplished, he must be united. The officials must be able to take the lead and do it themselves. The people must trust them and abandon some narrow ideas. But today, the section of Qi County was dug through, and I learned from the ancient county magistrate that other counties were also dug through, which really surprised me."

It was shocking that the officials and the people in Yanzhou were really the same as the people. Because of the different positions of the two sides, this has been difficult to do since ancient times. It was shocking that the people could be so open-minded and not favor personal gain, and everything was for everyone. It was even more shocking that the merchants in Yanzhou were always seeking profits, but when there was no profit to be profitable, they donated a large amount of silver.

"Princess, Yanzhou has given me too many shocks and surprises. If every state in Darong is like this, then the entire Darong will definitely be rich and strong in the country, without internal troubles, and without external troubles." Hongxuan sighed deeply.

"The three of us were inexplicably infected, and helped the people dig the canal together, and the more we worked, the more we became more and more vigorous." Xue Changfeng shook his head and smiled.

This Yang He is very capable, and it is an unpredictable skill.

Liu Yunxiang asked about the drought in Qi County last year and tens of thousands of people were facing food cuts. "I think it should be very difficult to come to Qi County last year."

Hongxuan nodded, "It's not easy, let alone the people, the family of the Gu County Magistrate has eaten wild grass."

"How many people starve to death?"

Hongxuan looked at Liu Yunxiang, "Do you know how much Yang He said to the court?"

"How many?"

Hongxuan sat upright and said honestly: "No one has starved to death."

"ah?"

"In the memorial, he said that the people helped each other, ate weeds, dug grass roots, and survived. This was not fake, so many people in the court suspected that the drought in Yanzhou was not serious. Yang He exaggerated and wanted to seek relief. But this trip to Qi County, we asked many people, and confirmed that the drought last year was once a century, and all the crops died and the grains were not harvested."

"That……"

"No one starved to death."

Liu Yunxiang widened her eyes, "Even if the disaster is so serious, no one has starved to death?"

"The Gu County Magistrate said so too. He asked many people, and they said so too."

Liu Yunxiang was shocked and incredible, "The ancient county magistrate can say, how did they do it?"

"The people help each other, eat weeds, and dig grass roots."

"Same as Yang He's words."

"Yes, it's tight."

"But we are very clear that if such a serious disaster is not supported by the court, it would be impossible for the local government offices and the people themselves to pass it, and none of them starve to death."

Xue Hefeng came over and said, "And not only Qi County, but the surrounding counties have also been affected, but it is not as severe as Qi County's disaster."

"Will anyone starve to death in other counties?"

"No."

Liu Yunxiang looked at Hongxuan and then Xue Changfeng. It was obvious that the two of them were as shocked as her. Let's just say that, even if there is relief from the court, it would be very impressive to starve to death.

This is the case when they came to Yanzhou, which they never expected before.

"We are here to investigate Yang He's corruption case, but we seem to have been going around in circles these days, and we haven't found any useful clues." Xue Changfeng said a little discouraged.

Hong Xuan smiled: "It's not that we go around in circles, but that someone is walking around in circles."

"Ah? Who kidnapped us?"

As soon as Xue Changfeng finished speaking, Feng Zheng ran in, holding a large plate of meat buns in his hand, "Are you two hungry? Do you want to eat buns?"

Xue Changfeng hummed, took a bun from the plate and took a big bite.

"Brothers of the Three-A-San'er..."

"Phhh! I have a name!"

Xue Changfeng smiled and changed his name, "Brother Feng, you are the person around Lord Yang He and Yang. You know his affairs the most. Why don't you point us in a direction? Where should we investigate the case next?"

After Xue Changfeng asked, Liu Yunxiang and the others followed and looked at Feng Zheng.

Feng Zheng sat on the chair next to him, ate the bun leisurely, and said in between: "What to check? Is the truth? The truth is that my adults embezzled one million taels of silver."

"Where is the silver?" Xue Changfeng asked hurriedly.

"Silver?" Feng Zheng sneered, "Don't say that you can't find the whereabouts of that silver, even if you release us, he will not be able to find it."

"He is corrupt, how can he not know where?"

"Hey, he just doesn't know."

Xue Changfeng felt that Feng Zheng intended to play tricks on them, so he glared at him in anger.

Liu Yunxiang and Hongxuan thought about each other, and then looked at each other, obviously they had thought of going together.

"Maybe this money has never been to Yang He's hands, so where did it disappear." Liu Yunxiang narrowed her eyes, "It seems we really have to find a way to check the account book."

"Why don't you need an extraordinary method?" As he said that, Hongxuan glanced at Feng Zheng and Xue Changfeng.

Liu Yunxiang thought about it and said helplessly: "It seems that this is the only way."

Xue Changfeng ate a bun and asked, "What do you two mean? What do we do?"
