The Yangtze River and Huaihe River are flooding, but the drought in Qilu has not slowed down at all.

Cathay Pacific was filled with panic by the sudden locust plague from Jinan Prefecture.

Although he felt very distressed, he could only take out the silver from his pocket to buy "high-priced" grain, fill in the empty Changping warehouses, etc., and even charity warehouses in various places, so as to curb grain prices and allow the disaster-stricken people of Jinan to relieve their anger.

But this cannot eliminate the impact of this sudden locust plague, or the drought behind the locust plague.

Not to mention, the locust plague was just before the summer harvest. The drought affected most of Qilu. The people in other places did not suffer from the locust plague and suffered heavy losses, but the summer harvest was also greatly affected.

Although the Qing court issued a decree to exempt taxes and mobilized money and grain to provide relief, the autumn is coming, and there is no rain falling in the sky, so there is no hope for this autumn harvest.

The locust plague only affected Jinan Prefecture, but the drought affected most of Qilu. This matter was definitely not something that Qilu could hold on to itself.

Cathay Pacific had to make this clear, and he couldn't believe the officials below, so he not only came out of Jinan City, but also came out of Jinan Prefecture.

Liang Xingzhou has been staring at Cathay Pacific's whereabouts for a long time.

"This dog official is finally here."

Outside Tai'an Mansion, a hundred men were lying on both sides of the road, each wearing a yellow cloak. If you look closely inadvertently, it would be no different from the ground.

Liang Xingzhou quietly withdrew his telescope and touched the double-barrel pistol with his other hand. He had not personally taken action for a long time.

But this time he was going to assassinate a dignified governor of a province, so it should be better if he showed up for a while?

Of course, more importantly, if there is something to say, Cathay Pacific will be hurt and not die. Because there were such dog officials in the Qing Dynasty, it would be harmful to them, and all the officials in the world were so greedy and unvirtuous.

Liang Xingzhou agrees with this one very much.

If the officials in the world are like Qian Feng, he will never hope to be "righteous and open" again in his life.

Therefore, the more officials like Cathay Pacific, the better, the bigger the officials, the better.

Then everyone is a rare treasure. Just be hurt and you must never be beaten to death.

Today Liang Xingzhou is here, and the purpose of making the big bigger is to grasp the "subtle".

The prefect of Tai'an Prefecture and a group of gentry officials had been waiting for the national peace for ten miles outside the city for a long time, but what he had been waiting for was a great bad news.

The governor was attacked and killed, and there were as many as hundreds of bandits.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

There are so many hundreds of people? Who are they?

This is no longer a simple "assassination", but a real attack.

The thief wanted to openly attack and kill the officials of the border province of Daqingguo. This was ridiculous and incredible.

Not only did the officials and gentry in Tai'an Prefecture hear the idiot, but after the news came back to Jinan, all the bureaucrats in Quancheng were idiots.

And this idiot journey continued to the capital.

I won’t say much about how Qianlong was angry. He first ordered the He Governor Akden to act as the governor of Qilu, and then Heshen rushed to Qilu.

He is coming to wipe his butt for Cathay.

The Hexi incident has not yet come to an end.

Fukang'an, who had just led his troops to Hexi, gave Li Shiyao to the sect, saying that he was blindly staying in the rear, and that he was accused of reviewing his party, but in fact he was avoiding war and fearing war. This delayed the opportunity to fight, which made the people in Hexi become more and more turbulent.

Then Qianlong decisively arrested Li Shiyao again, and the admiral Gangta was also arrested.

This guy naturally made a great contribution to killing Tian Wu before, but then he was led to a detour by the death of the rioters, and spared the northern rioters with the lowest morale after Tian Wu's death, so that the rioters of the north and south merged, breaking the Tongwei County, and reviving the momentum.

The incident in Hexi was just making Qianlong angry, and Qilu was causing trouble again, so I didn't want to make him happy.

"Brother, do you really want to rob and kill Heshen?"

A middle-aged man next to Liang Xingzhou said hesitantly.

"Doesn't you have to report such a big thing to the top?" Heshen's status was much stronger than that of Guotaike.

"The opportunity must not be missed, and no more will come. This is a Grand Secretary of the Military Affairs Department, and this is a first-rank official of the dynasty. If we can kill him in one fell swoop, wouldn't our reputation and the reputation of the emperor and the emperor's Han be spread again?"

Liang Xingzhou looked dissatisfied.

"What's more, I'm not unaware of this matter, I just took action first and then reported it. It's not very easy for us to keep up with the news."

It has been so many years since Liang Xingzhou has not figured out how many layers of his head are there.

Anyway, some of the messages he sent were quickly responded, while others would have to wait for a while.

Now that Heshen has entered Dongchang Mansion, he has only learned the news. If he had waited for the other party to reply, Heshen would have entered Jinan long ago. It would be too troublesome to try again at that time!

But even if you do it now, you won’t be able to succeed casually.

With the signing of Cathay Pacific, how could Heshen be unprepared?

He carried two hundred Beijing flag vests with him, plus a group of servants, as well as other officials and servants, and the team was 300.

So it is impossible to kill forcefully.

That can only be a real assassination!

Liang Xingzhou is not worried about this at all. He has not been in vain in the past few years. He may not really find any opportunity elsewhere, but is it on the Grand Canal?

Silently let out a sneer.

Liang Xingzhou had already seen Heshen's death.

Heshen arrived in Linqing by boat and continued southward.

Because Liaocheng, Dongchangfucheng, was his destination, there was a wide official road for him to go straight to Jinan.

Although Linqing can easily defeat Dongchang in terms of prosperity, it is just a Zhili Prefecture.

"Tell me honestly, how much are you in the granary treasury?"

Heshen couldn't read the books in his hand, and everything on it was fartful. He asked Yu Yijian directly.

This guy is the governor of Qilu, and he is in love with Guotai. Both of them are loose when wearing pairs of pants. Heshen even jealous of Guotai when he saw it. Why does Guotai have such a satisfactory helper?

Yu Yijian is Yu Minzhong's younger brother. He is also a top second-generation official, but he is more obedient than a dog in front of Cathay.

He was only one level worse than Cathay Pacific, and Heshen could not understand the reason inside.

Just one level away, why did Yu Yijian ask him to be willing to lower his eyebrows and be servile in front of Guotai, be servile, be flattered, and be flattered, and be willing to meet his preferences?

This guy often indulges in love with Cathay, singing and dancing, spending time, and doing his best.

Cathay Pacific likes to sing two songs. Yu Yijian is not good at the imperial examination, but he is unambiguous in his appearance. He can actually play with Cathay Pacific. In the Kunqu opera "The Palace of Eternal Life", Cathay plays Yang Guifei and Yu Yijian plays Tang Minghuang. They are really enemies. In the play, they play "monarch and ministers", and in reality, they play "monarch and ministers", but the order is exactly the opposite.

If this is the case, it is not surprising. The most painful thing is Yu Yijian's "kneeling for a long time". Kneeling for a long time is not just kneeling for a long time, but kneeling on the ground with his knees straight, just like serving an elder.

In the lobby of the governor of Qilu, Yu Yijian seemed to have no bones, shameless, and repeatedly staged a farce of "kneeling forever" in front of Cathay. After all, he was a person in his fifties. He was too humiliated and had lost the minimum personality of an official.

You should know that in the Qing Dynasty, the governors, governors, and supervisors of a province could participate in the study and administration. If there was any inappropriate governors, the governors could directly write to the emperor, "Flying the chapters and preaching", and the governor had no right to interfere. This was also a means for the emperor to control his subordinates. They asked them to check and balance each other.

Yu Yijian was self-deprecating, bowed down in front of Guotai, and was so mean that his subordinates, such as the prefect of Jinshi Lu Erchang, the prefect of Bagong Feng Tae, and the juren Guo Deping, the magistrate of Licheng, all looked down on him very much. Even these people were from the same party as the Cathay Party.

This can be said to be the greatest sorrow of those who hold high positions - being despised by their subordinates.

The censor Liang Kentang had persuaded him in person several times, but Yu Yijian refused to follow.

Of course, what Heshen said most about "seeing Yi Jian with a different eye" was that although this person helped Cathay Pacific to corrupt and caused great losses to the treasury, he himself did not accept bribes. Most of them were to accept filial piety from some members during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, which was not considered bribery in the Qing Dynasty.

Heshen admired him in his heart, haha, even if you can't find a second such honest dog in the world, you can't find a lantern.

But it’s not surprising that Yu Yijian’s character is too bad, and everyone knows the ugly behavior of “kneeling forever”. Therefore, officials from Qilu Tongzhou despise each other and refuse to send dirty things.

After all, everyone knows that the governor has collected the money and is free to come. They just send the money to the governor directly. Why bother to see Yu Yijian?

"The province has a deficit of about two million."

Heshen smiled, "Around two million?" Last time he followed Liu Yong and Qian Feng to Qilu to investigate the case, Huitong Bank added two million silver dollars to help Cathay Pacific overcome the difficulties.

"Didn't Cathay Pacific say it needs to be filled?" Why is it still two million now?

Can't even make fake accounts?

The official account books do not need to be fully paid for them according to the facts. If you fill in one, you will get ten of them in the account. As long as you can get the account books ready.

Now Qilu has suffered a major disaster. Although this is their crisis, it is also a great opportunity to cancel the account.

It’s not that I will report ten stones when I release one stone of grain, but that I will report six, seven, eight or nine stones when I release four, five stones, I will not be wrong, right?

Yu Yijian murmured speechlessly.

Of course he could understand Heshen's subtext, and of course they would do it, but there was too much deficit?

Heshen was so angry that he didn't know what to say for a while.

This time, I will probably draw money from Huitong.

But he still wanted to know a exact number, "Just give it to me honestly..."

Before he finished speaking, Heshen felt a sudden slam of the hull and almost tilted everyone else.

"What's wrong?"

He was sitting upright and asked outside.

At this time, the Eight Banners soldiers had already heard the voices of the peace, but a canal boat hit Heshen's ship.

There were only two men on the boat, and a nervous smile appeared as Heshen's ship.
Chapter completed!
