"It's not the autumn harvest season yet, and our families really can't produce any food."
Su Huaixi felt Ji Changan's anger, but he was calm and answered calmly.
He had heard of the Sixth Prince of Dajin before. He was once a genius and now in charge of the Zhenwu Division.
He also led the Zhenwu Division to destroy several martial arts forces, but what does this have to do with these families?
The Jiangnan family controls the flow of money in the entire Dajin. Behind them are not only the Second Prince, but also countless officials of the court.
A large number of officials known as the Jiangzhou faction are funded by them.
If Ji Changan dares to touch them, then I'm afraid the number of his impeachment memorials will be piled up to the sky.
Similarly, the prince in front of him offended all the court officials.
At the same time, he broke the rules and lost the opportunity to ascend the throne.
"If your highness has nothing to do, then we will leave." Su Huaixi said with a bow, and left the gifts with the servants.
After leaving the post station, he said to an accountant beside him: "This Sixth Prince is a bit ungrateful.
Go and inform the officials in the capital to report.
Say that the Sixth Prince did not provide disaster relief in a stable manner, threatened our kind families, committed this in order to instigate interests, and forced us to ask for gifts.
If it goes on for a long time, it will naturally affect the official and business environment and the peace of Dajin.
I have raised them for many years, and it is time for them to contribute some efforts."
"Yes, master." The housekeeper behind him nodded hurriedly and recorded Su Huaixi's details.
------------------
"What a pity." Ji Changan saw the chambers of commerce that left and the various gifts in the yard, shook his head and sighed: "They lost their only chance to survive."
He always liked to give others opportunities, but it was obvious that some people couldn't grasp them.
"Jingwei, go and inform Shangguan Jinhong to prepare for action, don't hold back." Ji Changan looked at Zhuge Zhengwo and said, "Please go with me to Jiangzhou Yamen, Mr. Zhuge."
Zhuge Zhengwo nodded. As a master detective, he has analyzed the locust plague these days and has seen some clues: "Your Highness, this locust plague is probably a man-made disaster."
"Tell me about it."
"Locust plagues usually occur in summer, but now it is early autumn. Of course, there is nothing wrong with some deviations due to weather reasons.
But from the perspective of the affected counties, we found a strange phenomenon.
That is, Jiangzhou has a total of 19 counties and a prefecture, and the affected areas are Guang'an County, Changyang County... and other six counties. There is no problem with this.
But from the news from our Zhenwu Division, it seems that the beginning of the locust plague did not appear in counties other than these six counties."
You must know that the so-called county boundaries are artificially divided, and most of the land boundaries do not have any obvious environmental differences.
Since locusts appeared in the six counties, they will surely appear in other counties, but the number may be smaller.
However, those locust swarms seemed to be able to understand the map, and they only started in the six counties.
Even if there were locusts in other counties, they flew over from the six counties.
And locusts cannot understand the map. Only humans can understand the map.
When Zhuge Zhengwo came to this point, he proposed an idea: "It can cause locust plagues on such a large scale, and it is regional.
At present, there is only one possibility, that is, someone disguised the eggs as grain and distributed them to the people.
Because grain is distributed by the government in a regional manner, in order to allow some land reclamation and poor people to cultivate.
So the boundary of the disaster is so clear."
Ji Changan took a deep breath and agreed with Zhuge Zhengwo's guess: "Is it the Demon Cult?
The fourth brother seems to have received this information a long time ago. Let's go and see the officials in Jiangzhou first."
-----------------------------------
Jiangzhou Yamen
The governor who was supposed to sit on the upper seat had been taken down by Ji Changan and was now kneeling in the hall.
Beside him, there were also high-ranking officials of the entire Jiangzhou government.
Although there were people behind them, it was obvious that they had all given up on them, at least on the surface.
Moreover, the second prince was now in solitary confinement.
"Li Yaozu, as the governor of Jiangzhou, do you admit your guilt for the fire in the warehouse?"
"I admit my guilt." Li Yaozu had already changed into prison clothes, and he no longer looked as majestic as he did as the governor. He was supposed to be sitting on the upper seat.
Unfortunately, the two levels were reversed now."That Cao Sicang neglected his duty and accidentally set fire to the warehouse.
And there was no time to put out the fire. It was because our Jiangzhou government was too negligent.
Now the people of Jiangzhou have suffered from the disaster and it has become a hell on earth. I, Li Yaozu, cannot escape the blame.
I only hope that Your Highness can bring food to the victims. I am willing to obey the law.
Go to the capital and accept the punishment of Your Majesty."
Li Yaozu cried while speaking, and was extremely sad.
It seems that he really blames himself, which can be said to be rich in emotions and cares about the people.
It seems that he has taken all the blame on himself.
He also understands that just like Cao Sicang committed suicide out of fear of crime, he can only grit his teeth.
Only if they don't give out the people behind them, they will have a chance to save themselves.
Even if he dies, he can leave a political legacy to his children.
Although the son of the guilty minister may not pass the examination of the imperial examination.
But as long as the second prince becomes the emperor, he can be pardoned. This is just a word from the emperor.
His purpose, Li Yaozu, is naturally to bring glory to his family. This is a gamble.
In this situation, he is betting his life, so he is not afraid of death at all.
Ji Changan did not attack this tough guy directly.
Instead, he showed a gentle smile. He has seen too many of these people.
Many people are not afraid of death because they have something more terrifying in their hearts, which is more terrifying than death.
It is useless for you to say anything now. Only by putting their most desperate things in front of them can they put down their disguises and cry bitterly.
"What about you? Do you say the same thing?" Ji Changan looked around at the kneeling Jiangzhou officials.
"We are willing to plead guilty, please punish us, Your Highness."
The officials below naturally understood this truth and said in unison.
"Take them all to the Jiangzhou prison, and then replace the head of the prison in Jiangzhou with people from the Zhenwu Division.
No one can see them without the order of this prince."
Ji Changan stood up and said coldly.
From the government to the noble families in Jiangzhou, he had already given a chance.
"Jingwei, do you think this prince is too kind?"
Jingwei listened and said softly: "Your Highness is kind and kind, which is a blessing for the world. These people have failed your good intentions, so they are naturally not qualified to enjoy your blessing."
"Yes, since they all look fearless, let them live a life worse than death.
I, Ji Changan, like these fearless people the most."
