The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the late boat encountered a head wind. This sentence could not be more suitable for Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou. Some time ago, the Japanese invaded Taizhou Mansion, the thieves were menacing, and they broke through several counties in the territory and surrounded the Taizhou Mansion, fortunately, Zhu Ping'an, the county governor of Jingnan, fought for his spirit, and set up three great achievements of killing the Japanese, defending the city, and recovering the city, which saved face for the Taizhou Mansion, and he made a point, so that he passed the catastrophe safely.

But I never expected that after the catastrophe of the Japanese invaders, there was a flood that occurred once in a century.

Although the flood is a natural disaster, and it has spread to most of the south of the Yangtze River, and no one in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefectures has been spared, and the imperial court will not hold itself accountable for the flood, but if the disaster relief is not effective, it will be difficult to escape accountability.

Therefore, since the flood, Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, has been conscientious every day, personally deploying and directing the disaster relief matters of the Taizhou government, from the capital city to the following counties, all matters related to the flood disaster, no matter how big or small, have been personally seen.

The prefect is like this, and the officials below naturally dare not slack off, especially the Wang experience of the government department.

Three days ago, when Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, was consulting the map book of mountains and rivers in Taizhou Prefecture, he found an official document called "Zhu Ping'an of Jingnan Governor Respectfully Presents Taizhou Prefecture Early Warning Flood Control and Flood Control Book", because the official document was submitted by Zhu Ping'an, and the name of the official document was about early warning flood control and flood control, so Taizhou Governor Tan Lun flipped through it.

Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, flipped through the content and looked at the time of the whereabouts, and couldn't help but be angry.

Zhu Ping'an, the magistrate of Jingnan County, had already issued a message to the Taizhou government more than ten days before the flood occurred, reminding him of the flood!

Why hasn't it been taken seriously!

If you follow the advice in Zhu Ping'an's official document and take precautions in advance, the flood disaster in Taizhou Mansion can be so serious!

As a result, Wang Shishi, who was in charge of the government experience department, was called by Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, and severely criticized.

If it weren't for Tan Lun's memory that he was rearming outside the city, he had indeed explained that Wang experienced their subordinate officials, and there was no major matter, so don't bother yourself, otherwise Wang Shi would not have faced such a simple criticism!

After this incident, Wang Shi's memory has increased, and he pays special attention to the official documents submitted by the following counties, and once the flood is related, no matter how big or small, it is submitted to the prefect Tan Lun for review as soon as possible.

"Lord Wang, this is an official document submitted by Hai County, Taiping County, and Huangyan County today."

A clerk from the Experience Division entered the door and presented the official documents he had received to Wang Shishi.

Wang Shi took the official document and looked at it carefully, Linhai County reported that the domestic grain price had been reduced and stabilized at 500 wen per stone of grain, and Huangyan County also reported that the domestic grain price had been reduced and stabilized at 500 wen per stone.

Well, yes, this is good news, and Fuzun will be very happy to hear it.

After reading the official documents submitted by Linhai County and Huangyan County, Wang Shi couldn't help but smile on his face.

The same should be true in Taiping County.

Wang Shi thought about it while opening the official document of Taiping County, well, it was indeed the news that the price of grain in the territory had been reduced to 500 wen per stone...... Hey, why is there a page at the end?!

What the?! Expose and report Zhu Ping'an?!

Wang Shi couldn't calm down after reading the content, and immediately rushed to the room of Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, with three official documents.

"Fuzun, Fuzun......" Wang Cheng hurried to Tan Lun's room, not bothering to knock on the door.

"What's the matter? What kind of system is it to be so flustered. ”

Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, was discussing with Zuo Zhen about transferring new soldiers into the city to help maintain order in the refugee camp.

"The lesson of the government is that the lower officials are out of character, and they ask the government to punish them." Wang Shi bowed his head and said.

"The punishment is forgiven, say, why did you come to see me in a hurry?" Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, took it lightly and did not pursue it again.

"Back to Fuzun, the official received the official letter from Linhai, Huangyan, and Taiping counties." Wang Shi said.

"What happened in the three counties?" Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, asked.

"The three counties have all agreed that the price of grain in their territories has been reduced and stabilized at 500 wen per stone, and another ......," Wang replied.

"It's a good thing to lower temperature-controlled food prices. Why are you like this? When Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, heard this, he said dissatisfiedly.

"Fuzun, there is also a report letter in the official document of Taiping Zhi County, exposing and reporting Zhu Ping'an, the county governor of Jingnan, saying that Zhu Ping'an forcibly defined the price of grain in Jingnan as 2,500 wen per stone in the name of the county government! According to the local people in Jingnan, Zhu Ping'an accepted bribes of tens of thousands of silver from grain merchants. ”

As he spoke, Wang Shi picked out the official document of Taiping County and handed it to Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, with both hands.

"What?! There is such a thing! When Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, heard this, his color changed instantly! Furious on the face!

"Impossible, right? Zhu Ping'an, the county governor of Jingnan, is not such a person, right?! After Zuo Zhen listened, his mouth opened wide in surprise, but he was skeptical of the revelation and report of Taiping Zhi County.

At the beginning, because Jingnan beheaded many Japanese criminals, he and the prefect Tan Lun went to Jingnan for a private visit and verification. In fact, at the beginning, he was very prejudiced against Zhu Ping'an, he didn't believe that Jingnan would have so many gains, and even suspected that Zhu Ping'an would kill good people and take risks, but he didn't expect that this was indeed the case. Not only that, but they found in a private visit that Zhu Ping'an, the magistrate of Jingnan County, was highly praised by the local people, and was known as a man who loved the people, was honest, and was a capable official. Therefore, Zuo Zhen turned to Zhu Ping'an's black. He didn't believe that Zhu Ping'an could do such a thing of raising grain prices and accepting bribes from grain merchants regardless of the lives of the people.

After being shocked, Taizhou Governor Tan Lun also felt unbelievable, but the official documents recorded in Taiping Zhi County are reasonable and detailed, not like fiction, and the fabricated evidence frames others, and his crime is not small, and Taiping Zhi County does not dare. For the sake of safety, Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, sent someone to secretly investigate.

Soon, the secret investigators came to report with an official document.

"From today onwards, there will be 2,500 ...... per stone of grain in Jingnan County" in black and white, with a bright red seal, there is no falsehood!

Taizhou Governor Tan Lun and others looked at the official document defining the grain price in Jingnan in front of them, and had to be convinced that the Taiping Zhixian County's report was true, and Zhu Ping'an really defined the grain price in Jingnan in the form of an official document to 2,500 wen per stone! As for Zhu Ping'an's acceptance of huge bribes from grain merchants, it must be true!

At the moment of the flood, the people are struggling to make a living, Zhu Ping'an dares to act so recklessly! Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, couldn't help but be angry, his face turned blue.

"Fuzun, the last general will ask for orders to arrest the corrupt official Zhu Ping'an!" Zuo Zhen gritted his teeth angrily and asked Tan Lun for his life.

At this moment, his powder turned black, and he once again became Zhu Ping'an's black fan. Zhu Ping'an trusted you in vain, and defended you in front of the mansion, I didn't expect you to be such a corrupt official who doesn't care about the lives of the people and only cares about personal gain!

"Accurate!" Taizhou Governor Tan Lun nodded, but soon shook his head and stopped Zuo Zhen.

"Fuzun! If Zhu Ping'an is allowed to mess around like this, how can the people of Jingnan live? ! ”

Zuo Zhen was puzzled and hurriedly asked.

"General Zuo, Zhu Ping'an is not an ordinary magistrate, his anti-Japanese meritorious service, he has just been promoted to the post of Zhejiang Provincial Prosecutor, but he is only temporarily appointed to Jingnan Prefecture. Moreover, his seat teacher is the old Xu Jie, who was the old man of the court, and I heard that his promotion to Zhejiang was the reason for the old Xu Ge. If it were only an official document that defined the price of grain on the basis of this paper, I am afraid that it would be difficult to convict it with many excuses and sophistry. And after some time, when the situation in Jingnan is erosive and out of control, Zhu Ping'an will be sent again. When the time comes, he will not be allowed to shirk! ”

Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, said slowly, he has always had a calm personality and is much more thoughtful than Zuo Zhen.

In addition to the above, he was also worried that he would be jealous and intolerable if he sent Zhu Ping'an in a hurry.

After Zhu Ping'an was promoted to the post of prosecutor and envoy in Zhejiang because of his merits, the name of the youngest and most promising official in Jiangsu and Zhejiang fell from him Tan Lun to Zhu Ping'an. Thirty-two years old, from four; Zhu Ping'an is only sixteen, and he is already a positive fifth grade, only half a level lower than himself. With the speed of Zhu Ping'an's promotion, I'm afraid no one doubts that Zhu Ping'an will become his boss in a few years. Although he didn't care about this false name, many people in the circle said this, and he was worried that if he sent Zhu Ping'an in a hurry, he would be misunderstood by other officials as jealous of his ability and intolerant.

If you leave a reputation of jealousy and intolerance, I am afraid that it will have a lot of impact on your career.

And after some time, the situation in Jingnan will be eroded and out of control, and Zhu Ping'an will be sent down again.

No more misunderstandings.

"Alas! It can only be like this, but the people of Jingnan will have to suffer for some time. Zuo Zhen sighed.
