Corrupt officials

    "you have no choice but to be forced. You have hands and feet, but you are here to steal things. Now that you are forced, do you think I will believe it?" Yin jiuqin looked at the leader coldly.

    The leader kowtowed several more times. "It''s true, we are all refugees from other places. We wanted to settle down in Yangcheng and find a good job. But when we got to Yangcheng, we knew that the local government had rushed the refugees to the broken temple in the east of the city, and then ignored them. We didn''t let the shops in the city hire us. We were really hungry

    Chen Qing stood up respectfully and said, "I don''t know what happened when the LORD came here?"

    "No gift." Ji Heng put down her tea cup.

    When Chen Qing arrives at the lobby, Ji Heng is sitting in the upper position drinking tea. Liu Wu stands aside, holding a box in his hand. Chen Qing comes forward to salute in a hurry and says, "I''d like to say hello to the king."

    "You''re here to watch him, and he''s not allowed to step out of this door." Then Chen Qing went out in a hurry.

    "It''s out in the lobby." Ya Cha replied.

    Chen Qing shivered, "where is it?"

    When Yin jiuqin wanted to refute something else, he saw a yamen servant come in in a hurry, "my Lord, here comes the Regent."

    If you don''t know what I''m going to do, I need to report to you. You can take the silver and get out of here! "

    "Pa!" Chen Qing clapped his case and his geniality disappeared. "Bold! My official said that if I give it, I will give it to them.

    "it''s impossible. All the refugees are in the broken temple in the east of the city. They don''t even have a piece of clothing to keep out the cold. How can they all spend it? I wonder when the county magistrate gave it to them." Yin jiuqin frowned, and his face was a little angry.

    "You listen to their nonsense. I gave them the relief money from the beginning. It was they who spent the relief money. On the contrary, I didn''t give it." Chen Qing then took out some pieces of silver from his arms and put them aside. "This is my official''s best effort to help you. Take the silver and buy some food for your wife and children quickly."

    Yin jiuqin looked up at Chen Qing, "but those refugees clearly said they didn''t receive the relief money."

    "Don''t be afraid, you should know that the money allocated by the emperor has already been given to those refugees, so it''s not that I don''t help you, but my monthly salary is poor, and the family can''t support you enough. Where can I have spare money to help you?" Chen Qing''s smile has gradually disappeared.

    Yin jiuqin bowed his head slightly and did not speak.

    "Just now you said that your mother and children were dying of starvation. You wanted to ask for some food here. You also said that the emperor had allocated money for disaster relief?" Chen Qingxiao has some bad intentions.

    Yin jiuqin nodded, "yes, there was a snowstorm in his hometown. I heard that Yangcheng had taken in refugees, so I came here."

    Chen Qing smiles, "don''t be nervous. I just heard that you are from other places?"

    Chen Qing was sitting in a high position, while Yin jiuqin was standing in the middle of the hall, looking embarrassed.

    After the Yamen messenger took the order, he took Yin jiuqin into the Yamen.

    Ya Chai said a few words in Chen Qing''s ear, and Chen Qing''s look immediately changed, "bring him in!"

    "What''s going on?" The man was a little rich, and he looked affable. He was Chen Qing, the county magistrate of Yangcheng.

    yachai looked back and saw that the man immediately put away his sword

    Ya Cha just wanted to get closer. A man came out of the mansion and said, "stop it!"

    "It''s impossible. There are. I really don''t want much..." Yin jiuqin wanted to go forward, but he pretended to be afraid of the sword in Yamcha''s hand.

    Yam Chai didn''t want to go to Yin jiuqin again. He took a lot of trouble to pull out his saber. "I tell you to go quickly. There''s no relief money. Go quickly!"

    "Brother Yamcha, please. I heard that the emperor allocated a lot of money for disaster relief. I don''t want more, just a little food." Yin jiuqin got up from the ground.

    Jishan hall, go

    Yam Chai gave Yin jiuqin a disgusted push, "go, go, what do you think this is? This is the county yamen, not

    " brother Chai, I''m a refugee from other places. Please do me a favor. My mother and children are dying of hunger. I want to beg for food for them. " Yin jiuqin stretched out his trembling hands and tugged at Yamcha''s sleeve.

    The next day, Yin jiuqin, dressed as a beggar, stood at the gate of the County Yamen and beat drums. Soon a yamen servant came out to see Yin jiuqin''s dress. His eyes were full of disgust. "What do you do?"

    Ji Heng thought for a while, and then said something in Yin jiuqin''s ear. Yin jiuqin nodded in agreement.

    "What do you think I should do?" Yin jiuqin calmed down.

    Ji Heng immediately grabbed Yin jiuqin, who was about to rush out. "Young master, don''t be angry. If you want to punish the county magistrate, we must have sufficient evidence. You can go like this. If the county magistrate insists that he has given out the money for disaster relief, you can still make a move."

    "I didn''t expect that the little magistrate of Yangcheng County would dare to be corrupt. I didn''t use a cent of the money I gave to the refugees!" Yin jiuqin was more and more angry when he talked about this psychology. "No, I''m going to teach this magistrate a lesson."When Yin jiuqin returned to the inn, Ji Heng looked at Yin jiuqin''s face. "What''s wrong with the young master when he goes out?"

    Instead of pursuing the money bag, Yin jiuqin gave them a jade pendant and asked them to change some silver to prepare some warm clothes for the refugees. After thanking them, they left in a hurry.

    Yin jiuqin looked a little colder when he listened to that man''s words. This Yangcheng is not far from the emperor, and it is under Yin jiuqin''s eyes. Even Yangcheng is like this. You can imagine what other places are like.

    The leader quickly explained, "young master Mingjian, don''t say anything about the relief money. We don''t even have a place to stay. We found out that all the relief money was embezzled by the county magistrate, and none of it was used by the refugees."

    "There is such a thing. I remember that the emperor once ordered to allocate money for disaster relief. Where there are refugees, there must be money for disaster relief. Why does Yangcheng not only have no money, but will drive you all to the broken Temple instead? You cheat me!" Yin jiuqin doubted what the man said.

    Ji Heng motioned to Liu Wu. Liu Wu put the box on one side of the table and opened the box. Inside the box were some valuable jewelry. Chen Qing''s eyes were straight.

    "The concubines in the harem took these out for disaster relief. I heard that there were many people in Yangcheng, and I was afraid that the relief money allocated by the emperor was not enough. So I came here to see the situation of the refugees and send them to the county magistrate." Ji Heng looks at Chen with a look of disdain.
