I want to ruin the country

Chapter 221 City Fox and Society Rat

Everyone poured wine, Pang Long raised his glass,

"Today, I, Pang, am honored to be sitting here with all of you. Today, I am the host, and according to our northern customs, the host should offer three cups of wine.

Brother Xiong was the deputy host. He was the one who brought me the wine after I finished three glasses of wine. No wine was allowed to be left over from the first six glasses!

I won't say anything more, I'll drink first as a sign of respect!"

As he said that, he tilted his head back and a glass of wine poured into his throat. After drinking it, he rinsed the bottom of the glass to make it shine, so that everyone could see that he had finished drinking it all!

We have all heard that northerners drink heartily, and it seems to be true.

Moreover, when they came, Hong Xiuquan instructed that no one could make Pang Long and the others unhappy today, and they must get the silver. No one could say anything, because everyone did it!

Next was the time to eat. Pang Long took the lead in eating and drinking, eating the food and drinking the wine with big mouthfuls.

He brought three glasses of wine in a row.

He brought three cups, and Xiong Wenting, the deputy host, also brought three cups!

After six glasses of wine, Hong Xiuquan felt dizzy. He looked at the people in front of him and saw that their heads had become two and the world was spinning. He thought to himself, "Oh no, I drank too fast and I'm drunk."

He fell to the ground with a thud!

Not only him, but others also fell to the ground with thuds.

More than ten people rushed in from outside the door. They were all Pang Long's men.

These people were not panicked when they saw the people lying on the ground. They went over to help Pang Long, Xiong Wenting and Ji Zhangwu sit on chairs, and then sprayed them with cold water.

Pang Long and his companions slowly woke up.

"What the hell, it gives me a headache!"

It turned out that Pang Long and his men had put knockout drugs in the wine. In order not to arouse the suspicion of Hong Xiuquan and his men, they had to take the lead in eating and drinking.

Pang Long ordered his men,

"Brothers, put them in sacks and load them onto the truck!"

Everyone worked together to carry the few people onto the large cart outside, disguised the cargo on it, and left overnight.

After the fall of Mu Zhang'a and Qi Ying, Yining instructed Lin Zexu, Du Shoutian and Wang Jindou to

"We must dig deep. Not only must we sever the network of connections between these two individuals, but we must also capitalize on this opportunity to unleash an earthquake and thoroughly clean up the bureaucracy!"

The current administration has become so bad that Du Shoutian feels very guilty. Although he cannot say that it is all his fault, he cannot escape the blame for inaction!

Why did Sai Shang'a resign? Wasn't it because of inadequate management? The emperor didn't say anything to him, wasn't it just to save face for the master and the apprentice?

He had spoken to the emperor several times about his intention to resign in order to avoid a bad outcome, but the emperor refused. He was not being hypocritical, he really refused!

The emperor was very concerned about him. He would ask several imperial doctors to check his health every few days and gave him the thousand-year-old ginseng in the palace as if it were free. This really showed his concern!

Since the emperor doesn't allow me to retire, I have no choice but to give it my all. Besides, Lin Zexu is three years older than me. He works day and night and devotes himself to his work. Why shouldn't I fight for it?

Not to mention the fight between Lin Zexu and Wang Jin. A scholar will die for his friend. The emperor appreciates me so much, how can I repay him if I don't fight for him with my life?

These three people are all top-notch talents. The energy they unleash when they get together is not as simple as one plus one plus one equals three, but increases exponentially!

The result was that there was a real earthquake in the officialdom, with the epicenter being the capital, and the impact radiated in all directions from the capital.

What collapsed in this earthquake were not the beams and houses, but the officials' hats!

These hats come in different sizes and with all kinds of tops, from red coral tops to flowered gold tops. As long as you are not in the mainstream, you will not be spared as long as you commit a crime!

The characteristic of corruption and bribery cases is that big cases involve small cases, small officials are linked to big officials, and big officials give out small officials. You bite me and I bite him, and he bites him again, and it never ends!

The anti-corruption storm in Beijing and the anti-corruption storm launched by Chen Fuen in Shandong connected together, and with huge energy and rolling thunder, it gradually spread to all parts of the country, and it was impossible to stop it.

Ruijin did not disappoint the emperor, and porridge distribution and relief were widely implemented across the country.

Even at the gates of counties that were not affected by the disaster, soup kitchens were set up, which proved that Yining's words, "From now on, no one in the country can starve to death," would come true.

After a detailed investigation, the list of people in need of relief in each county and prefecture was released, and Emperor Bingming of Ruijin began to distribute relief grain.

The standard amount of relief food was ten taels a day for adults and five taels a day for children. Although this was not enough to fill them up, it was enough to keep them alive.

The common people were really shocked. The porridge could really fill their stomachs. It was really distributed according to the number of people. The amount was exactly what was said. Not a single grain of rice would be missing. There had never been such a thing since ancient times!

They heard that this was a strict order from the emperor, and anyone who withheld food would be beheaded!

As Ruijin intensified its warehouse inspections, all the problems with the warehouses were exposed.

There are many granaries across the country that are empty or have warehouses within warehouses, and the situation of selling inferior goods as good ones and old goods instead of new ones is everywhere.

For example, at the Baoyi Granary in Hangzhou, the terminus of the Grand Canal, deficits and the passing off of inferior goods as good ones were discovered.

This is the largest granary in Jiangnan, covering an area of ​​75 acres and capable of storing 150,000 shi of grain.

Ma Zhengqi, a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, arrived at Baoyi Granary and notified Wang Liuqi, the warehouse supervisor, to load all the grain onto ships and ship it to the Lianghuai region for relief.

Wang Liuqi was almost scared to death at that time!

Wang Liuqi was transferred here three years ago to serve as warehouse supervisor. He unexpectedly met a relative here.

This man is called Meng Fanggui, and he is the nephew of Wang Liuqi's uncle.

Meng Fanggui is in charge of the accounts of Baoyi Warehouse and has worked here for several years.

Meng Fanggui is about ten years older than Wang Liuqi, so Wang Liuqi should call him cousin.

Meng Fanggui was extremely happy when Wang Liuqi came. He was truly one of their own, so he often invited Meng Fanggui to his home for food and drinks.

Meng Fanggui lived a very good life. He had a large courtyard with three entrances and four concubines.

Especially the fourth concubine, Yunjin, who was beautiful, in her twenties, and had been married for just over a year. Meng Fanggui would always let Yunjin accompany him whenever he ate or drank.

Yun Jin was born in a brothel. She had tears in her eyes and was very good at making men happy. She poured wine and food for Wang Liuqi, played musical instruments and sang for him, and from time to time she would flirt with him with her eyes, which made Wang Liuqi feel itchy.

Meng Fanggui has a good life now because he colluded with his superiors over the years to resell the grain in the warehouse and make money by passing off inferior goods as good ones.

This time Wang Liuqi is here, he must drag him down.

It is easy for relatives to get close to each other. Meng Fanggui deliberately flattered Wang Liuqi, and Wang Liuqi wanted to make friends with him. It didn't take long for the two to become close friends who could talk about anything.

On this day, Meng Fanggui invited Wang Liuqi to his house for a drink, and as usual, Yun Jin was there to accompany him.
