Chapter 320

"These officials are truly bullying people too much."

"Father allocated so much silver just to save the people in the Northwest."

"Yet I didn't expect that this silver was not used on the people, but fattened these officials."

Fusu's face showed an angry expression, and his eyes carried a trace of anger.

"Please, Your Majesty, you must severely punish these officials to rectify the righteous spirit of the entire officialdom."

Xu Da also said loudly from the side.

304. Solving the remnants of corrupt officials, someone has to take the blame! (Please subscribe!)

When these things happened, he had not yet been promoted to his current level.

But Xu Da was also a person with insight.

Naturally, he knew what should be said at this time.

"Zhang Han."

"I entrust this matter entirely to you."

"All those who have touched that silver, solve them all."

Ying Zheng said gloomily, his tone filled with thick killing intent.

Once this decree was issued, countless heads fell in the entire Great Qin court.

Before such a big thing happened, the people's attitudes were mixed.

But this time, for this decree of Ying Zheng, the people expressed praise one after another.

"This time, thanks to General Zhang Han; if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have discovered the tricks in the Northwest."

"Yes, yes."

"I didn't expect the situation in the Northwest to be so severe."

"I heard that they have completely run out of grain there."

The people of Xianyanggong discussed Ying Zheng's decree one after another.

After Zhang Han received Ying Zheng's decree, the entire news spread to the entire Xianyanggong like it had grown wings.

The people in the city all heard about this matter.

These people had previously felt the many refugees who appeared in Xianyanggong.

For those refugees, those who had the ability to help would give a bowl of rice, and those who didn't could only secretly curse the heavens.

Yet they didn't expect the officials in the Northwest to be so excessive.

They withheld the disaster relief silver and didn't spend a cent on the people.

Above the teahouse.

A man and a woman were drinking tea at a table.

"Young Master, it seems that Ying Zheng has already investigated the situation in the Northwest."

Lu Li whispered in Ying Mo's ear.

As early as before, he already knew all the things that happened in the Northwest.

When reporting this matter to the Young Master, he thought the Young Master would convey this news to Ying Zheng.

Yet he didn't expect the Young Master not to tell Ying Zheng this news.

"Someone has to take responsibility for this matter."

"These people can be considered to have died not unjustly."

Ying Mo said slowly.

Northwest drought, countless people lost their lives in this disaster.

Someone would have to take responsibility for this matter.

Before, when these things happened, the Emperor would personally issue a self-reproach edict to the world.

Admitting that it was because of his own reasons that such a great disaster occurred.

But now, Ying Zheng, because of the prayer ceremony, let the Northwest receive timely rain.

All the people knew that the current Emperor was the true Son of Heaven.

The Northwest drought definitely had nothing to do with the Emperor.

But that didn't mean there was no one to take responsibility for this matter.

Since these officials in the Northwest extended their greedy hands to those silver taels,

they had to bear the consequences of swallowing that silver.

Lu Li, after hearing Ying Mo's words, showed a look of half-understanding.

But Ying Mo's gaze slowly shifted to the location of the Xianyanggong palace.

In his eyes, a faint light flashed immediately.

During this time, because he had solved some big fish and small shrimp,

all the clues found before had disappeared.

Plus, those people on the must-kill list had been solved one by one.

Ying Mo had a headache for a while about how to find the true culprit behind the scenes.

Although there were no clues, there was one thing he was very sure of.

That was that the true culprit of that year had not been completely solved.

At least, the mastermind had not been found.

Thinking of this mastermind, who seemed to have insight into everything,

a cold light flashed in Ying Mo's eyes.

He really, really disliked this feeling.

If that person originally wanted to deal with him,

they could have just come forward, why harm the 30, 00 Annan Army?

Playing such a big game of chess just to get rid of him.

The 30, 00 brothers buried with him made Ying Mo unwilling to accept this fact.

"I will find you one day."

Ying Mo fumbled with the teacup in his hand,

and then.

The teacup shattered, turning into dust in Ying Mo's palm.

"Check out."

A light voice, and then Ying Mo's figure disappeared from the teahouse.

Lu Li threw down the silver and followed Ying Mo, leaving the teahouse.

Great Qin border, deep in the grassland.

Zhang Tian had been wandering in the grassland with 10, 00 soldiers for a long time.

In such a long period of time, they had not found any trace of the Xiongnu.

Even the traces of the Xiongnu's activities had no clues.

The interior of Great Qin had slowly returned to spring, showing a hint of warmth.

But on the desolate grassland, snow was still flying.

It was as if it had not felt any call of spring here.

The cold climate caused many soldiers to fall ill.

Zhang Tian could only let these sick soldiers return to the border defense first, leading the remaining soldiers to continue wandering in the grassland.

Since he had already made a military pledge, he must find those Xiongnu.

The deeper they went, the more a strange scene appeared.

In the depths of the grassland, it seemed that the snow had stopped flying, and even the grass skin was slowly exposed on the ground.

Only here did the soldiers feel a hint of warmth.
