The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 148 Bianzhou
This time the Yellow River flood was mainly in Bianzhou and spread to dozens of state capitals.On the contrary, there was no disaster in Qizhou where Li Chengqian was located.

Bianzhou was the worst-hit place.The reason is that Bianzhou is low-lying, so when the Yellow River burst its embankment, the water of the Yellow River directly swallowed the entire city of Bianzhou.

Now it can be said that there are countless disaster victims wailing all over the country.Fortunately, the court's disaster relief food arrived in time.

Let the governor of Bianzhou open a porridge shed as soon as possible to help the people affected by the disaster.It's a pity that it didn't achieve very good results.

……

Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin also came directly to Bianzhou.But Li Chengqian had already led people from Qizhou to Bianzhou.

"Your Majesty, it's as expected. A large amount of relief food allocated by the imperial court has been transported to Bianzhou. It's just that it hasn't really been used for the victims." Zhao Tingxuan said to Li Chengqian.

"These officials all come from aristocratic families, how can they care about the suffering of the people? What they want is to fill their own pockets and make a fortune by taking advantage of the Yellow River flood." Li Chengqian said with a sullen face.

"My father and eldest grandson Wuji will be here soon. I'll see how those officials dare to enrich their own pockets." Cheng Chuhuan also said angrily.

When Cheng Chuhuan learned that the Yellow River burst its embankment, what he admired for Li Chengqian was that he threw himself into the ground.The original arrogance and domineering also restrained a bit.

"I'm afraid your father and this king's uncle may not be able to do anything when they come." Li Chengqian shook his head and said.

"This time my father brought [-] military guards, don't they dare to be arrogant?" Cheng Chuhuan said incredulously.

"Do you think the [-] military guards brought by your father are here to copy the homes of those high-ranking officials? It's because they are worried about riots among the people." Li Chengqian said after glaring at Cheng Chuhuan.

"Sister Chu Huan, what the prince said is right. Sometimes they have more than they want but not enough power." Su Wan said to Cheng Chuhuan.

"Doesn't anyone care about the life and death of these people? You see, they have no food or clothing every day."

"If the imperial court doesn't step up the relief efforts, I'm afraid there will really be a situation of changing sons and eating them." Cheng Chuhuan said, stomping his feet.

"It has been like this since ancient times. Once a natural disaster occurs, it is the people who are unlucky, and the emperor is the one who worries. But those who really benefit are those dignitaries." Xue Rengui said after sighing.

"As long as I am in Bianzhou, such a thing will never be allowed to happen. Immediately order someone to keep an eye on those officials at all levels."

"If you find that they are greedy for money for disaster relief, you will find ironclad evidence for me. At that time, I will let them use their heads to atone for the disaster-stricken people." Li Chengqian said through gritted teeth.

……

"I said Changsun Wuji, we are going to Bianzhou soon. I wonder how you can help the victims?" Cheng Yaojin sat on the horse and asked Changsun Wuji.

"To tell you the truth, from ancient times to the present, no disaster victims can have enough to eat. Although the emperor has allocated a lot of money and food, I am afraid that after being embezzled by officials at all levels, there will be very little left." Changsun Wuji said after sighing.

"Then what are you and I doing here? Come here to watch the people starve to death? Or to see the ugly faces of those officials?" Cheng Yaojin asked with a straight face.

"That's why I asked the emperor to come to Henan Province for disaster relief. I hope that the two of us can save the people from suffering." Changsun Wuji said.

"If you want me to say that this matter is easy to handle, as long as you and we find out that the officials are guilty of corruption, I will lead soldiers to raid their homes." Cheng Yaojin said.

"It's not impossible to steal the house, but you can't do this job." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.

"I, Cheng Yaojin, can't do it, so your eldest grandson Wuji can do it?" Cheng Yaojin said after curling his lips in disdain.

"Naturally, I don't have that ability. I guess we have not waited for our brothers to do it. Someone impeached us in front of the emperor."

"At that time, we can only go back to Chang'an City in despair." Changsun Wuji shook his head and said.

"I can't do it and you can't do it either. Do you have to let the thieves do it?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Changsun Wuji and questioned.

"There is a person who is more suitable than a thieves. If my guess is correct, he is probably in Bianzhou now." Gongsun Wuji said with a smile.

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help being stunned.Then he suddenly realized: "You said that kid went to Bianzhou."

"You're right, so the two of us should also go in low clothes. Let's take a look at the situation in Bianzhou Mansion first, and then we can cooperate with that kid." Changsun Wuji nodded and said.

"Hahaha, as long as that kid is in Bianzhou, things will be much easier." Cheng Yaojin also said with a big smile on his face.

……

"Inspector Lu, Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin are almost arriving in Zhengzhou, and they will arrive in Bianzhou in a few days." Li Wenzhi, governor of Bianzhou, said to the governor of Bianzhou.

Lu Qinghong, the governor of Bianzhou, is from Fan Yang's Lu family.Although they are not direct descendants of Fan Yang's Lu family, they still have Fan Yang's Lu family as their backer.

After hearing Li Wenzhi's words, Lu Qinghong said, "Captain Li, it seems that we have to make some plans, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to these two National Public Transport Officers."

"I'm worried about Cheng Yaojin. This guy is a famous devil in the world. If he gets caught, I'm afraid we will have no good fruit to eat." Li Wenzhi said to Lu Qinghong.

"Changsun Wuji is not a good idiot either, he is the elder brother of the current empress. With these two people in charge of disaster relief, it seems that the emperor intends to cut off our fortune." Lu Qinghong said after sighing.

"If we don't have food in our hands, there will be a large number of rioting victims. Do you think the two of them are still in the mood to check our affairs?" Lu Qingdong said indifferently.

This Lu Qingdong is Lu Qinghong's younger brother, and now he is the governor of Bianzhou.This person does things in a rough and detailed way, and he is full of intrigues and tricks.

Hearing her younger brother Lu Qingdong speak, Lu Qinghong hurriedly asked: "Second brother, do you have any plans? Then hurry up and listen."

"Now there are tens of thousands of hungry people in Bianzhou. I believe that there are definitely people who are willing to do anything in order to have a full meal."

"Tonight, I will send people to find suitable candidates among the victims and let them be used by me." Lu Qingdong said.

"This is a good way. Then we can excuse that the relief food allocated by the emperor was snatched by these rioters." Li Wenzhi said with a smile on his face.

But they never thought that the current Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin would soon enter Bianzhou City.
