"Li Guang?" Qin Hui was slightly startled and lowered his eyebrows in thought.

"Who did he take?"

"Everyone suspected has been arrested. I heard that some witnesses were also found. What to do now! Qin Xianggong, Li Guang has always disliked the subordinate officials. He has caught this, and the subordinate officials are not allowed to do anything.

Take off a few layers of skin, Qin Xianggong..."

"Shut up!" Qin Hui scolded him coldly.

Wang He quickly shut up and said nothing.

At this time, the people below hurriedly ran over: "Qin Xianggong, there is an urgent report from the capital."

Qin Hui took it over and opened it, his expression was uncertain.

"Your Majesty is already aware of the matter of robbing food."

Now Wang He was so frightened that his face turned green: "It must be Li Guang who said it!"

"It doesn't matter who said it anymore, Nie Chang is here."

When Wang He heard Nie Chang's name, he was almost scared out of his wits.

Nie Chang is famous for being the kind of person who doesn't care about his life.

Anyone who is an official knows how to be courteous when dealing with others, and be merciful when given the opportunity.

However, Yang Yizhong was causing trouble everywhere in the army, and Nie Chang was making trouble among the civil servants.

These two people are not easy to mess with.

In terms of staffing, the Su Provincial Academy reported directly to Zhao Guan's family instead of to Dongfu, which meant that Nie Chang was not under Qin Hui's control.

"Ms. Qin, what should we do now?"

"Look at your worthless look." Qin Hui was calm. He thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Come with me to the Governor's Yamen to have a look."

"Does Mr. Qin want to go in person?"

"If I don't go, will Li Guang give you face?"

Wang He followed obediently.

Not long after, Li Guang learned that Qin Hui was coming, and immediately took important officials from the yamen out to greet him.

"The Prime Minister of Qin is here, but my subordinates were unable to welcome me from afar. Please forgive me, Mr. Qin!"

"Taifa, you don't have to be polite. I came without warning and caused you trouble." Qin Hui always behaves very kindly outside, like an uncle next door, with every hair on his body exuding a friendly atmosphere.

"If Mr. Qin is there, please come in."

Qin Hui led the people inside.

We sat down, had tea first, and discussed the recent issues concerning the people's livelihood in Jiangdong.

Qin Hui naturally brought the topic to the matter of grabbing grain.

He said: "A few days ago, I heard from people below that there was a fight between villagers and government officials in Lishui County."

Li Guang said: "The lower officials have also heard about it."

Li Guang stopped talking and never said more or asked more questions.

Qin Hui had to continue: "I heard that in order to implement the new policy, some villagers did not change rice to mulberry in time. The county made an arbitrary decision and confiscated the villagers' grain?"

Li Guang said: "This is also the news that the official heard."

Qin Hui's face immediately darkened. He slapped the table angrily and said: "The magistrate of Lishui County is so brave! How dare you do such nonsense! Food is the most important thing for the people, and you even dare to rob the common people's food!"

His voice resounded throughout the room, and the officials in the room were so frightened by his power that they did not dare to speak out.

"I, Mr. Qin, put my words here today! Although converting rice to mulberry is a national policy, and I, Mr. Qin, are in charge, but if it conflicts with the livelihood of the people, we must protect the livelihood of the people. Here comes the King of Heaven.

You are not allowed to touch the people’s food for the winter!”

Several officials from the Chief Secretary's Yamen looked at Qin Hui with admiration, thinking that Mr. Qin was indeed a good and selfless official!

After Qin Hui lost his temper, he said: "Wang He, the prefect of Jiangning, is also responsible for this matter! Such a big thing happened, and it was only reported to me a few days ago! It has been delayed again and again! Do you want to help the emperor do evil?"

Wang He immediately trembled and said in shock: "This official was negligent for a moment. Mr. Qin will punish him!"

"Fortunately, Chief Li responded promptly." Qin Hui's tone became slightly restrained.

Li Guang still didn't speak.

Qin Hui then said: "Li Buzheng, I heard that someone is here with you?"

"Who is that person?" Li Guang's face was calm and his tone was calm, "This official is stupid."

"Lishui County Magistrate Liu Rui, Jurong County Magistrate Zhou Bing, some villagers, and other people involved in the case."

Li Guang said: "The official sent someone to get the person, but he hasn't been brought back yet. He should be on the way."

A coldness flashed in Qin Hui's eyes, but it only passed by. He said calmly: "Who was sent to arrest him?"

"The chief secretary's counselor brought someone to get it."

"How long does it take to get it to the Chief Secretary's Yamen?"

"It should take another two or three days. I'm not sure yet. I wonder what Mr. Qin's orders are?"

"Oh, it's nothing. This matter involves the New Deal that changed rice into mulberry. These people dare to use the New Deal as a shield to seek personal gain. I will never forgive them. Taifa, as soon as they arrive in Jiangning, have them sent to me immediately.

There, I will personally try the case and bring justice to the people of Jiangning! Give an explanation to Your Majesty and the imperial court!"

Qin Hui was in power, and Li Guang was just the chief envoy to Jiangdong.

There were six more ministries above Li Guang, and all six ministries were subordinates to Qin Hui.

Qin Hui is the boss of Li Guang's boss. Qin Hui gave orders to Li Guang out of official duties. If Li Guang dared to openly contradict him, the Zhao family would not be able to save Li Guang.

Li Guang said: "Yes, I will definitely send these people to Qin Xianggong!"

Next, Qin Hui stayed here for a while and said nothing more.

Before leaving, Qin Hui suddenly said: "Taifa, you have been in Jiangdong for more than two years, right?"

"Yes."

"The imperial court is employing people, and you are a rare talent. I admire you very much."

"What virtues and talents are there for a lower official? Thank you very much, Prime Minister Qin, for your respect!"

"Let's go now. I'll have a drink with you another day."

"Farewell to Mr. Qin."

After Qin Hui left, Li Guang returned to his study.

Zhang Yang said: "Fortunately, I didn't bring it back to the Chief Secretary's Yamen directly."

"Wait for Nie Chang and the others."

After returning to the Yamen of Yamen, Wang He was anxious and said: "Ms. Qin, that Li Guang must have hidden the person on purpose!"

"Go and find him! Go and search Li Guang's Yamen! Search him out!"

"I……"

"You discovered it before Li Guang, but he got there first. Do you still have the nerve to blame him on me?"

"Your Majesty..."

"I don't care what method you use to find the person! If the person cannot be found, do you know what will happen?"

"will happen……"

"You, the prefect, are the most responsible person! Do you understand?"

"I know! I know! I'll go and do it immediately!"

Qin Hui tore up the words he wrote that morning to pieces.

Take this kind of thing alone, it is not a problem for his administration.

How high was the status of the rulers in the Song Dynasty?

Generally speaking, princes must salute when they see him. When the prime minister comes to the Wende Hall, the imperial guards must also salute.

When the food robbery incident occurred, Qin Hui was at best an oversight. The consequences of an oversight must be considered. The consequences are not serious. If the incident is made up for in time, it is impossible to lose the official position of prime minister.

But the problem now is that Qian Yuqing's conversion of rice to mulberry was more effective than Qin Hui's, and this happened again to Qin Hui's side.
