My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 619 Conscience is still alive (for General Jiu)
Three days later, the governor's government office.

Liu Mingzhi sat on the high hall with a cold expression and looked through the accounts left by Gu Zhiheng in his hand. He ignored the Qingzhou officials who were kneeling on the ground below, and just looked through the accounts in his hand!
Glancing at the head of Ren Yuan, the governor of Qingzhou who was dying with only his head left, Liu Mingzhi put down the ledger in his hand and slowly walked down the high platform, looked at Qingzhou Governor Tong and Wu who were kneeling at the top, and squatted down: "Tong Dudu, you are still an imperial envoy if you recruit yourself." Let me tell you!"

Tong and Wu Mingming were terrified, but they still looked at Liu Mingzhi: "Master Liu doesn't know what to say!"

Liu Mingzhi nodded and stood up: "Since you are so stubborn, I will tell you one by one!"

"In February 27th of the Dalong Xuande locust disaster, locust eggs appeared in Qingzhou. You, Qingzhou governor Tong Hewu and the governor of Bazhou, the prefecture of the prefecture, reported this to Beijing! Isn't that right?"

"That's right! If that's the case, why did Lord Liu send the subordinates to the hall? Our colleagues did not dereliction of duty or break the law!"

"You are right. When you discovered the locust seedlings, you did not dereliction of duty. You even asked the emperor to send an imperial envoy to control the locust disaster."

"The Six Departments got the emperor's will, and then sent a letter to the Qingzhou government. The locusts have not yet formed, and the officials of the Qingzhou government will try their best to control the young locust eggs."

"right?"

"That's right, the lower officials have indeed led the officials of the states under their jurisdiction to fight the locust plague with all their strength."

"The six replies not only let you guard against the problem of locust larvae, but you also got the news that His Majesty is going to open up business and encourage businessmen from various states in Dalong to go out and trade with each other. It was at that time. This official sent an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin to discuss with the Turkic border trade!"

"That's right, it's no secret that His Majesty wants to open up business!"

"You have learned that His Majesty has opened up business channels to encourage businessmen from various states and capitals to do business actively. Everyone knows that although the status of merchants is low, it is the most profitable industry. The imperial court encourages large-scale trade. This is something that has never happened since the founding of Dalong. All Officials in the state capital have discovered the huge profits, and your Qingzhou government is no exception!"

"Yes, Qingzhou government responded to the imperial court's order, what's wrong?"

"It's true to respond to the imperial court's order, but you shouldn't neglect the administration and let the locust plague take shape. You have been busy preparing tea but neglected the locust plague. It was too late for you to realize the seriousness of the matter until the locust plague broke out completely. "

"But you don't know how to repent. It's not too late to deal with the locusts when the locust plague broke out in April, but you are blinded by greed. You find that the tea you prepared for the harvest was eaten up by locusts, so you started the idea of ​​storing food. Come on, that's right!"

After Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, except for Tong and Wu who could manage to calm down a bit, the rest of the governors were already shaking like chaff, kneeling on the ground and dare not even raise their heads!

"At first, when you saw that things were getting out of control, you drove the people to drive away the locusts. This is why Dingzhou was implicated, but you ignored the people's fear of locusts! The effect of driving out the locusts did not achieve what you thought! However! At this time, the food in some treasuries has already gone north, so you have thought of a way to cover up the plan of the locust outbreak that the treasury has no food!"

"The imperial envoy said that the lower officials couldn't understand!"

"Oh? Don't Master Tong want to talk about the kidnapping of Qingzhou officials under the guise of Bailian gangsters?"

"Qingzhou is indeed controlled by the Bailian gangsters. This is something that all officials in Qingzhou government know!"

Liu Mingzhi sighed and clapped his hands lightly: "General Chang, Mr. Gu, it's time for you to come out!"

Two people came out from the back hall, it was Chang Yunfeng who was guarding Qingzhou and the shopkeeper of Yunlai Inn, it should be Gu Zhiheng's orphan Gu Qingquan!
Tong Hewu looked at Gu Qingquan in horror: "Why aren't you dead yet?"

Gu Qingquan looked at Tong Hewu with wide eyes: "You dog thief, where are my mother and my younger sister?"

Chang Yunfeng also looked at Tong Hewu coldly: "You dog thief, even if you have a scheme to deceive the world, you would never have guessed that the imperial envoy will see through your schemes!"

"You're not already!"

Chang Yunfeng smiled miserably: "If I hadn't pretended to surrender, how could I have fulfilled Master Gu's last words before he died!"

"You two sit down first!"

"It's an adult!"

Liu Mingzhi cleared his throat: "The locust plague broke out. The governor of Qingzhou, the governor of Shengzhou, and the governor of Pizhou already knew that things went beyond what they thought. He knew that the most important thing was to control the plague of locusts rather than respond to business affairs, so he started to deal with the plague of locusts." However, Tong Hewu, the governor of Qingzhou, and the governor who has already opened a warehouse to release grain do not think so. Due to geographical reasons, the grain warehouses of the other five states have been opened without the consent of the capital. Unfortunately, they have already lost their way. The three of Gu Zhiheng who knew the intention of returning were forced to open the warehouse by threatening with the lives of their family members, right!"

Tong and Wu stared blankly at Liu Mingzhi and lowered his head!
"So you, who knew that the outbreak of the locust plague could not cover up the facts, joined forces and staged a show for me. No, it should be said that it was staged for everyone to see, including His Majesty, who were also blinded by your illusions. It's really the White Lotus Sect's gangsters who are at work!"

Tong Hewu knelt on the ground and supported himself: "This is all your inference, sir, and there is no fact to prove it!"

Liu Mingzhi sighed melancholy: "You have a good uncle, but it's a pity that Tong Xiang's first fame was ruined by you!"

"Actually, you already knew the identity of this official. At the same time, you didn't know that Gu Zhiheng and Gu Shi knew that he would die if he opened a warehouse without permission. Fortunately, his conscience was still alive, so he arranged for Captain Zhen to lead me to the Yunlai Inn. Of course, Since I entered the city, nothing has escaped the eyes and ears of the Dudu Mansion. You led me to the civilian court where the county magistrate of Qingshan County is intentionally or unintentionally. Tongcai didn't expect to become an abandoned child until his death!"

"Until you learned from the spies that I had gone to General Chang's camp, so you started the second play for me, the absurd but powerful governor, and Gu who worried about the country and the people but had lotus tattoos. Assassin."

"You guys are really good at calculating. You used my cleverness to be misunderstood by my cleverness to lead me to the White Lotus Sect. Indeed, at the beginning, I really believed that the White Lotus Sect held Qingzhou officials hostage and wanted to cause civil unrest among the people. rebel!"

"But you guys are too hasty! Not only did you not let a great achievement dazzle me, but let me find out that something is wrong in Qingzhou City, why does the White Lotus Sect do these useless things!"

"However, I am well aware of the importance of disaster relief, and I have to rely on you local officials, so I suppressed my doubts and devoted myself to dealing with the locust disaster. I think you have already made a great contribution to me as a secretary and counselor at such a young age. Dazed!"

"But there is always one thing to do in a hundred secrets. You have ignored the things that Gu Zhiheng and the other three have not lost their conscience!"

"Dare to ask the imperial envoy where is the evidence?"

"Don't worry, I will explain everything clearly, and pass on the governor of Dingzhou, Mr. Ge Changjun!"
