Wuyi Palace's work efficiency is very high. Not long after Emperor Jiajing spoke, Wuyi Palace had already formed the Jingnan investigation team. After the investigation team was formed, it set off south without any delay.
The Jingnan investigation team has a total of six members. The team leader is Xu Hai, a doctor from the Department of Civil Affairs. The team members are Wang Meng, the head of the household department, Zhang Wenbo, the head of the criminal department, Pengcheng, the censor of Zhejiang Province, and the criminal manager of Dongchang.
One hundred households, Zhang Guyi, and three pavilions, the head stall of Dongchang.
Although the Jingnan investigation team only has six members, the composition is complicated. The team leader Xu Hai is a member of Li Mo, the official secretary of the Ministry of official affairs. It is a recognized fact that Li Mo has a disagreement with the Yan Party; Wang Meng, the head of the household department, Zhang Wenbo, the head of the criminal department, Zhejiang Dao
The three supervisory censors, Peng Cheng, are all die-hard Party members; Zhang Guyi and Hu Sange are from Dongchang.
Of course, the Jingnan investigation team is not just the six of them. In addition to them, there are also several minor officials who follow them as paperwork and records, as well as a team of Dongchang fans responsible for protecting their safety.
"Xu Jie is really good this time, not a single person has been assigned." Wang Meng, the head of the household department, and others are very satisfied with the staffing of the investigation team.
There are six people in the Jingnan investigation team, half of them are Yan Dang, so why should they be dissatisfied?
This time, we must take down Zhu Ping'an, the boy who is causing trouble for Mr. Yan Ge!
Wang Meng and others are full of confidence in this. Judging from Liu Wannian's impeachment memorial and Jingnan's official document defining grain prices, it is an ironclad fact that Zhu Ping'an colluded with grain merchants to engage in corruption. There is no chance of them making a mistake this time! They are
One time passed, one was to further consolidate the evidence, and the other was to dig deep into Zhu Ping'an's evidence and turn the case into an ironclad case in front of Dongchang! Put Zhu Ping'an into a place of eternal destruction! Fortunately, they were saved by Mr. Yan Ge and Yan
Show your face well in front of the young master and get the qualifications for promotion.
The Jingnan investigation team has two missions. One mission is naturally to verify Zhu Ping's grain price corruption, which is also the original intention of the investigation team. The other is to investigate and investigate the flood situation in Jiangnan. Jiangnan is experiencing a once-in-a-century disaster.
In the case of floods, although the imperial court is temporarily unable to rescue, it still needs to take action.
The Jingnan investigation team left the capital and headed south.
After leaving the capital, I didn’t feel like I was in Beizhili, but when I entered Shandong, I felt a certain way.
The price of food in Shandong has increased a lot. From the original 400 Wen per stone, it has now risen to about 500 Wen per stone. In addition to food, oil, meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits and other edible items,
Now the prices have followed suit, and the average price has increased by about 20% compared to before. In addition, in Jinan Prefecture, they even found some refugees who had fled from Jiangnan. They were sallow and thin, carrying the elderly and the young, and they were very miserable.
Beyond the boundaries of Shandong, the further south they go, the more intuitive the investigation team's experience of the Jiangnan floods became.
There are countless hungry people, refugees are filling the fields, and the cries and howls are endless. Every day, we encounter victims who starve to death on the roadside.
The once picturesque Jiangnan is now full of mourners, miserable and miserable, like a hell on earth.
"Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, but tourists only like Jiangnan. The spring water is blue in the sky, and the boats are painted and the rain sleeps. Is this the Jiangnan that everyone talks about? Alas, I didn't expect that the floods in Jiangnan would be so serious.
The once picturesque Jiangnan is now devastated and unsightly.”
Along the way, Xu Hai sighed more than once when he saw the tragic scenes of floods in the south of the Yangtze River.
Wang Meng, Peng Cheng and others were also deeply touched.
Xu Hai and others wanted to show their love on the road and share some of their surplus food with the victims. Zhang Guyi, a householder in Dongchang, reminded him to object but to no avail. Xu Hai and others secretly ridiculed him and insisted on distributing it to the victims.
Unexpectedly, the disaster would be triggered in just one minute. When the hungry and red-eyed victims saw it, they swept in from all directions like hungry wolves, and the looting almost turned into a riot. If Zhang Guyi hadn't decisively commanded Dongchang Fanzi
They used thunder and sticks to forcefully disperse the victims, and Xu Hai and the others were afraid that they would be robbed without even their underwear left. Only now did Xu Hai and the others understand Zhang Guyi's good intentions.
After this disaster, Xu Hai, Peng Cheng and others felt more deeply about the seriousness of the floods in the south of the Yangtze River.
"People are so miserable due to hunger and cold, and Zhu Ping'an even raised the price of food to 2,500 yuan per stone! Alas, these places have not raised food prices, but they are still so miserable. Isn't Jingnan a hell on earth?!"
After Xu Hai and his party arrived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they saw hunger, cold, and mourning everywhere. Xu Hai could not help but be filled with indignation.
"The flood is not over yet, but Zhu Pingan is here again. It is estimated that out of ten houses in Jingnan there are nine empty houses, and the people are probably going to die soon." Wang Meng took over the words and said, losing no opportunity to belittle Zhu Pingan.
"Alas, the incompetence of a general will tire out the entire army, and the incompetence of a county magistrate will tire the people of the county to death. Especially if you encounter a corrupt and incompetent magistrate like Zhu Pingan, the harm will be particularly serious. The people of Jingnan will be the worst off."
Zhang Wenbo nodded, cursed Zhu Ping'an, and expressed pity for the people of Jingnan.
“From a Zajia perspective, that’s not necessarily true.”
Zhang Gu, the manager of Dongchang's punishment household, who was riding a horse beside him, twitched his lips silently after hearing their criticism.
He is no stranger to Zhu Pingan. When Zhu Pingan inspected Taicang, he was ordered to bring a group of subordinates to assist him. He witnessed with his own eyes that Zhu Pingan single-handedly uncovered the major bank deficit case in Taicang, regardless of whether it was without trace.
Whether he was scheming against the people in Taicang, whether he was a master of accounting, or whether he was inspecting Taicang with his bare buttocks, Zhang Guyi was a witness.
Zhu Pingan's wit, strategy and courage left a deep impression on him.
He didn't know whether Zhu Pingan was a corrupt official.
But he knew that Zhu Pingan was a smart man, a very smart man.
How could a smart person like Zhu Ping'an engage in corruption in a sensitive time like a flood by raising food prices and asking for bribes from grain dealers, which are superficial and unskilled methods?! And he posted them all over the city?! For fear that the world would not know?
!
If Zhu Ping'an was corrupt, everyone would still be praising him for being as honest as water and loving the people like a son. This is only reasonable.
Therefore, there must be something fishy about Zhang Gu's sleep. Perhaps Zhu Ping'an will surprise everyone when they get to Jingnan.
Saving lives is like putting out fire!
After the Jingnan investigation team entered Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with the mentality of saving the people of Jingnan from the fire and water and relieving the people of Jingnan from hanging upside down [Ling Ling Kanshu.com.
He went to Tan Lun, the magistrate of Taizhou, and ordered Tan Lun to accompany him, and together they went to Jingnan to investigate Zhu Ping'an.
After all, Jingnan is a county under Taizhou Prefecture, and Tan Lun, the prefect, must accompany him in terms of emotion, reason, and rules.
