Chapter 665

"These officials are truly deceiving people too much."

"The Imperial Father distributed 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 instead fattened these officials."

A look of anger appeared on Fusu's face, with a hint of rage in his eyes.

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

Xu Da also said loudly from the side.

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

When these things happened, he hadn't been promoted to this level yet.

But Xu Da was also a person with insight.

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

"Watching Zhang Han."

"I entrust this matter entirely to you to be responsible for."

"All those who reached out for that sum of silver, resolve them all for me."

Ying Zheng said gloomily, his tone revealing a thick murderous intent.

Once this decree was issued, countless heads fell to the ground in the Great Qin imperial court again.

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

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

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

"That's right, that's right."

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

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

The people of Xianyang City discussed the decree issued by Ying Zheng one after another.

After Watching Zhang Han received Ying Zheng's decree, the whole news spread to the entire Xianyang City as if 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 Xianyang City.

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 penny on the people.

Above the teahouse.

A man and a woman were slowly drinking tea beside a table.

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

Lu Li whispered in Hearing 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 at all.

"Someone has to take responsibility for this matter."

"These people, it can be considered they didn't die unjustly."

Hearing Ying Mo said slowly.

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

Someone will always have to take responsibility for this matter.

Previously, when these things happened, it was the Emperor who personally issued 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 have heaven-sent sweet rain.

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

The Northwest drought must have nothing to do with the Emperor.

But it doesn't mean that there is no one who needs to take responsibility for this matter.

Since these officials in the Northwest reached out their greedy hands for that silver.

Then they must also bear the consequences of swallowing that silver.

After Lu Li finished listening to Hearing Ying Mo's words, a look of half-understanding appeared on her face.

And Hearing Ying Mo's gaze slowly shifted to where the Xianyang City Imperial Palace was located.

In his eyes, a faint, ghostly light flashed immediately.

During this period, because he resolved some big fish and small shrimp from before.

It caused all the clues found before to disappear.

Plus those people on the must-kill list had all been resolved one by one.

Hearing Ying Mo had a headache for a moment, wondering how to find the true culprit behind it.

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

That was that the true culprit from back then had not been thoroughly resolved.

At the very least, the mastermind had not been found.

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

A flash of cold light shone in Hearing Ying Mo's eyes.

He truly, truly disliked this feeling.

If the person the mastermind wanted to deal with back then was himself.

They could have just come at him, why harm the 30,000 Annan troops?

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

The burial of 30,000 brothers made Hearing Ying Mo somewhat unwilling to accept this fact.

"I will find you one day."

Hearing Ying Mo groped the teacup in his hand,

Immediately.

The teacup shattered at the sound, turning into dust in Hearing Ying Mo's palm.

"Check out."

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

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

Great Qin borderlands, deep in the grasslands.

Zhang Tian had already led 10,000 soldiers wandering in the grasslands for a long time.

In such a long period, they hadn't found any trace of the Xiongnu.

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

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

But on the desolate grasslands, it was still snowing heavily.

It was as if it hadn't 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 grasslands.

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

The deeper they went, a strange scene appeared.

Deep in the grasslands, it seemed there was no more heavy snow, and even the turf slowly revealed itself on the ground.

Until here, the soldiers felt a hint of warmth.
