Chapter 1250 The government and the opposition shook again(1/2)
"In the disaster area in Henan, are you saying that the Yellow River is flooding? The imperial court allocated two million taels of disaster relief from the stretched treasury. Isn't it useful to implement it?"
During the Henan disaster last year, the court immediately squeezed out two million taels of disaster relief money from the not-enriched treasury. Some of his contributions were also made. He took the lead in impeaching Shi Heng, resulting in the general's house being confiscated. All his property was filled with the treasury, and the total amount was more than one million taels of silver.
He, Chen Zhao, also became a fifth-rank official.
"Bah!!"
Speaking of this, Ye Yun looked angry and said disdainfully: "I don't know if the imperial court has lent the money, but the local corrupt officials in Henan have no disaster relief at all!"
"The court specially sent a censor to supervise the disaster relief. I heard that the disaster relief there was very good!"
I didn't expect to get such a big news. I don't have to think about it. It was a major case of collusion between superiors and subordinates. I just don't know what level of people involved this time.
Even the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court can handle it, and this time the matter is very unusual.
If it is true, then Shi Heng will die unjustly.
His hard-working and greedy money brought all the corrupt officials below to the top.
Thinking of this in his heart, his face was silent and he said with a smile, "Since you said that the Henan government has not had any disaster relief at all, why didn't you see refugees from Henan coming to Beijing?"
According to the usual disaster years, the government's relief was a drop in the bucket, not to mention that officials at all levels were working hard, and finally the relief money that could be put into the hands of the victims, and the three levels allocated by the imperial court, was considered to be very conscientious in the local officials.
The victims who cannot survive will naturally not die. They are all villages, towns, and even one prefecture and one prefecture. He is not very clear about where the victims in the southern region are wandering, but whenever there is a problem in the northern region, most of the refugees will come to the capital to seek survival.
No matter how it is, it is all under the feet of the emperor, so naturally I will not watch a large number of refugees starve to death. Whether it is the imperial organs or the wealthy households are good at providing relief. In short, although the refugees in the capital are as hard as life, they will not starve to death on the streets.
With the rise of many eunuchs such as Wang Zhen, Cao Jixiang, Cao Shaoqin, etc., a large number of unknown white men appeared in the capital, most of whom were homeless victims.
If according to what Ye Yun said, the Henan victims had not received any relief from the government, they would have come to the capital to survive in groups, but for half a year, there were no large-scale refugees entering the country. This is really strange.
"Hmph, those dog officials are colluding with each other. The imperial envoy has been in the fireworks and willow alley in Henan for a while. How could he say bad things about the local dog officials?"
Ye Yun knew a lot of things and sneered: "As for refugees, hehe, governments at all levels set up checkpoints everywhere on the road, how can those unarmed refugees survive?"
Speaking of this, he looked resentful and two cold lights shot out from his clear eyes: "It's hateful. Those dog officials watched the victims die in a large number of deaths, but they were indifferent and still lived in the world. They were simply worse than beasts!"
Nonsense!
Chen Zhao didn't believe it at all.
The so-called "why do people fear death if they are not afraid of death?" The government sets up checkpoints to block them, but at most, it can block thousands of people. However, once the disaster victims become tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, the few people in the mere government are useless.
I'm afraid there have been thieves everywhere!
In the prosperous era of Yongle decades ago, there was the Tang Sai'er uprising. Tang Sai'er, a generation of female hero, made a big fuss and disappeared without a trace. Even if Emperor Yongle had a master like Zheng He in his hands, he could do nothing.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhao frowned slightly and said angrily: "Looking at how angry you are, why haven't I heard of the assassination of an official in Henan?"
Even officials dare not kill them, and the victims of the Ming Dynasty became so well-educated?
Are the ambitious people among the victims so qualified?
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
Ye Yun looked disdainful and sneered: "Killing people in anger is the act of a reckless man. It will not only attract severe crackdowns from the government, but also have no effect on alleviating the suffering of the victims in the disaster area!"
Is this guy stupid?
Are you almost dead, afraid of being retaliated?
Is this a disaster victim?
"I didn't expect you to be a brainy thief!" Chen Zhao smiled slightly and decided not to discuss this issue with him.
Facing a guy who doesn't know what a "peasant uprising" is, it is useless to talk to him about something outside of this person's understanding.
Chen Zhao asked back: "So you came to the capital to commit crimes and send the money back. Is it safe? How do you ensure that those guys who take the money will not have the intention to see money, and how many people will end up falling into the hands of the victims!"
"The loyalty of the children in the world is the most important thing. If anyone dares to make trouble on this, he will not have to mess around in the world in the future!" Ye Yun's face changed and he sneered: "At least they are much more trustworthy than those dog officials!"
"Hehe, so what if you can't get involved in the world?"
Chen Zhao didn't let him go, and said disdainfully: "With the money rolling over to the capital, or to Jiangnan, Huguang, hiding his name, and not having sex for a lifetime. So what if you don't spend time in the world? Thousands of thousands of taels of silver are enough for the family to live a wealthy and happy life in the future, and even being a big landlord or something. In the face of absolute interests, what a world of morality is nothing!"
"Then how do you stay?"
Ye Yun was furious and said unhappy: "I only have one person. Even if I have three heads and six arms, I can't be busy. If I don't ask fellow practitioners for help, should I trust those greedy dog officials!"
Chen Zhao shook his head, the turbulent world is the turbulent world, and everything is done according to the rules of the turbulent world. Wouldn't we be a little more flexible and use some normal means?
Since he knew that Ye Yun was a thief and the purpose of stealing the money was to provide relief to the victims, he naturally would not hand this guy over to the government easily.
Even though he worked so hard, he was most likely to have made wedding clothes for others.
This led to a group of people withdrawing from the world from then on.
"If it weren't for your kindness and righteousness, I would have ruined you long ago!" Chen Zhao smiled coldly and slowly changed the topic: "Give you two choices, either you are either surrendering or disabled. First of all, let me tell you, have meat to eat with me!" According to the information provided by Wang Hu and Sun Liu, whether it is Dongcheng or Xicheng, many poor families suddenly have some silver at home. After thinking about it, they will know that it was Ye Yun's work.
Although the purpose is good, this method of teaching people fish is actually a drop in the bucket, and a typical brainless help.
However, Chen Zhao was also sure that this guy was not a pure thief, otherwise he would not be polite when he captured this guy.
"Are you a child of the government?"
Ye Yun stared at Chen Zhao with his eyes.
He thought that although the guy "Mr. Ben" and "Mr. Ben" in front of him claimed to be a man, he probably pretended to be old. He was obviously the eldest master of the powerful and powerful family of officials. He relied on his martial arts to run to him to act as an uncle. It was really hateful!
Thinking of this, he sneered: "If you want me to surrender, you can't be a member of the government, otherwise I will never agree even if I die!"
"It's a pity that I happen to be a member of the government." Chen Zhao's face remained unchanged and he said calmly: "I am a Jinshi of the current rank of the Ministry of Justice, Chen Zhao. I am very interested in talents like you..."
"What, are you not a child of the government? Are you a Jinshi in the current year or a fifth-rank official?" Ye Yun was shocked.
This person is so angry that he compares people!
The other party is younger than him and has a more advanced martial arts than him. He is still a Wenquxing who is on the list and has become a high-ranking official in the court!
Ministry of Justice!
This is the top yamen of the Ming Dynasty!
Yu Qian and Yu Shaobao were very prestige among the people. Before his death, they were just the Minister of War.
"There is no need for me to deceive you, and you are not qualified enough." Chen Zhao said lightly.
Ye Yun was speechless when he said this.
"Boy, I summon you not to let you do something bad, but just to ask you to help you find out some secret matters and be prepared for any trouble."
Chen Zhao smiled and said his purpose lightly, ignoring Ye Yun's unbelieving look, and chuckled: "Is my identity true or false? I believe you will be able to find it out soon, but since you want to check it, you must follow me! Otherwise, you will be able to do it with all your skills and be slaughtered, which will not be pleasant."
"Then, then, how do we contact each other?"
Ye Yun sighed, for some reason, but he didn't even want to refuse.
Perhaps deep down he believed in Chen Zhao's words with determination.
Maybe he is an adventurer himself and likes all kinds of novel and exciting adventures, so he agreed to Chen Zhao's invitation.
Of course, the biggest reason is that the other party’s martial arts are really unfathomable, and it seems that the other party’s true energy is lurking in his body.
It seemed that as long as the other party was willing, the true energy would immediately turn into overwhelming waves, completely swallowing him.
"You will leave a secret note here at that time, and naturally someone will meet you!"
Chen Zhao smiled lightly and asked calmly: "Looking at your appearance, I seem to know a lot about the forces in the martial arts world around the capital. Are there any bandits and bandits who do evil in the vicinity of a hundred miles?"
"What are you going to do?"
Ye Yun finally recovered and asked with a vigilant look on his face when he heard this. Obviously, he had not adapted to being his subordinate's life.
"You little thief has turned Kyoto upside down. Since you are my subordinate, I will always find a scapegoat to help you take the blame!"
Chen Zhao sat there, his hands and feet not moving, but looked at Ye Yun with his eyes and sneered: "There are people outside of people, there are heavens outside of heaven. The capital is at the feet of the emperor, and there are strange people. If you want to deal with you, you can do whatever you want. When you really mess with them, they only need to send one person to ensure that you, a little thief, will not be enough to make ends meet even if you have ten lives!"
Seeing Ye Yun’s disbelief, he sneered: “If you believe it or not, now you have stolen property worth millions of taels of silver, which is enough to attract the attention and covetness of some powerful people. When will you not get out of here quickly?”
Although Ye Yun was arrogant, he was not brainless. He couldn't help but believe what Chen Zhao said.
After thinking about it, he spoke, "Fifty miles northwest of the capital, there is a Bailong Mountain, and there is a group of bandits, about thirty or fifty people. He is really doing many evil deeds, but because it is connected to a certain royal palace, the government has never cleared it out."
"Okay, after leaving later, you go directly to Bailong Mountain and put a few precious items you stolen into the warehouse of the bandit's nest. They will take all your charges!"
Chen Zhao made a statement without saying a word. Seeing Ye Yun's stunned face, he laughed and scolded: "You bastard, since you are a bandit who is used to doing evil things, why do they do your life or death?"
Ye Yun thought about it, and couldn't help but nodded, then smiled embarrassedly, but deep down, he felt disapproving and thought that he must be alert to you, a dog official in the future, otherwise you won't know when you will be sold.
"Do you know how you exposed?"
With just a glance, Chen Zhao knew what Ye Yun was thinking and directly changed the topic and asked with a smile.
“How did it be exposed?”
Ye Yun was really puzzled about this matter. Although he knew that he was not blocked by the mysterious master in front of him, he could not fight for light skills alone, but he always had a little luck in his heart.
"Hey, a true top swordsman, you can send it all your energy, but you can send it or not. You are running on the roof in the middle of the night, no less than the sun in the dark. The more conspicuous you are, the more conspicuous you are!"
Chen Zhao said lightly, his words were completely attacking Ye Yun's martial arts.
"Impossible, my breath is restrained quite tightly!"
Ye Yun looked disbelief and said confidently: "I usually meet top experts in the world. As long as I don't take the initiative to expose them, they won't be able to feel it!"
