When the magistrate Meng County and others saw Qian Li coming in, they quickly smiled and took the initiative to greet him.

"The Grand Duke Qian is here, and we are in a position to welcome you. I will forgive you for your crimes! The Lord came to save the disaster, how can the lower officials not welcome you?"

"Is that true?"

Qian Li's eyes bypassed them and saw the wine and meat on the tables on both sides. The anger in his eyes was almost bursting out.

"I'm very interested."

When the magistrate Meng County and others heard his sarcastic voice, they realized something was wrong.

"This... I listen to my explanation. This matter is definitely not what you think."

Qian Li pulled down his face and sneered: "Explanation? Then you guys talk about it, what is the purpose of the banquet in front of him?"

The dozen people looked at the Magistrate Meng County for help.

The eyes of the county magistrate also turned quickly.

"Ah, by the way, this is when Xiaguan and others know that the prefect Qian is concerned about the people. After learning that the place is broken, they will come in person. Therefore, they prepare a banquet early and wait for the prefect to be the chief."

Everyone else agreed in unison.

"It's not bad, I'm waiting for the Grand Priest Qian to welcome the prefect."

"Oh? Is it?"

Qian Li glanced at everyone's faces, and everyone lowered their heads guiltily.

Unexpectedly, Qian Li suddenly relaxed his tone.

"Since that's the case, then my colleagues are intent. Qian thanked me here."

When everyone heard this, they felt like they were granted a general amnesty.

"Premier Qian is polite. This disaster is rare in a century. Premier Qian is running around and exhausted. Please come to the seat soon."

Qian Li waved his hand.

"There is no need to join the seat. The disaster is urgent, and the prefect is in a hurry. This time, we are all here to check the disaster. The money and grain mobilized by each county and the relief supplies allocated by the general will arrive in Xihe County soon. After the disaster situation in various places is found, the prefect can distribute it as appropriate."

The magistrate of Meng County and others were overjoyed. Isn’t this what they were busy with for so long?

The magistrate of Meng County said: "The General and Prefect Qian are so quick, it is really a blessing for the people."

"No need to say polite words. By the way, how can there be a county magistrate of Yuanyang and Yuanyin, and other counties? "

Qian Li recognized these dozen people, without exception, all of them were county magistrates of Bingzhou, and felt something was wrong in his heart.

The magistrate Meng laughed and said, "These seventeen colleagues of the magistrate came to our county in person like the prefect, discussing disaster relief. I am grateful to them and the prefect Qian."

Everyone woke up and said together: "Not bad, this time the Yellow River broke down, the disaster was so serious. We should work together to advance and retreat together."

"Oh, so that's it."

Qian Li looked like he suddenly realized: "You are so dedicated and responsible, and this prefect will report to the court to commend your achievements."

"I dare not, I dare not, Qian Taishou has over-reputed."

The Meng County Magistrate said seriously: "I wonder how many disaster relief supplies are there in total this time?"

Qian Li replied without hesitation: "The total grain collected by various places and allocated by the imperial court is no less than three million stones, the money is no less than three million, and there are also a large amount of herbs."

When the few people heard this, their faces were already a little red due to drinking, and now they have added a little more glory.

The tone of Meng County Magistrate trembled uncontrollably.

"I don't know... I don't know how much supplies I can get in Lin County?"

Qian Li lowered his head and thought for a moment: "If you have time, the county magistrate will talk about the details of the disaster here first, and I will make a decision."

The magistrate of Meng couldn't wait to shout: "Okay, please take your seat quickly, the magistrate will tell you in detail!"

Everyone of the eighteen county magistrates, including him, seemed a little excited.

"This time in this county..."

"Let's wait!"

Qian Li suddenly interrupted the Magistrate Meng County.

Everyone looked at him in confusion, but saw Qian Li also looked at them.

"On the way to the prefect, I destroyed the official road due to floods, so I had to walk from the mountain road. On the way, I passed by a village and found some situations. I want to verify it from you."

The eighteen county magistrates looked nervous, and many of them were sweating coldly at that time.

County Magistrate Meng's mouth twitched and his eyelids trembled.

"It's okay to say it, but the officials in charge know everything."

“It’s so best.”

Qian Li said slowly: "I saw hundreds of corpses floating above the flood and floating around. The corpses have not yet swollen, and they are the people who were drowned after the dam break. Therefore, I was very curious that Lin County's dam breaking was several days later than the other dam breakings. Why does this place seem to be unprepared and so many people are innocently victimized? The county magistrate also needs to explain it."

His voice was not loud, and his tone was neither anxious nor slow, and he had no intention of scolding or threatening, but despite this, it was still like a death talisman in everyone's ears.

"this……"

County Magistrate Meng repeatedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his mouth was whispering, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Qian Li was not in a hurry when he was surprised, and he didn't urge him, just waiting quietly.

But this seemingly calm atmosphere made everyone thorn on their backs and restless.

They are not fools either. At this time, of course they understand that Qian Li is asking questions clearly, but it is clearly here to blame him. They casually made up a reason for the banquet before. Qian Li didn't accept it at all, but just wanted to stay in this matter and attack it together.

"Qian Taishou, this matter..."

Qian Li looked at Taishou Meng: "What's the matter? Have you made up the reason?"

The tone of Meng County Magistrate stopped, his expression changed, and then his face soon became cold.

"What does Qian Taishou mean?"

As soon as his tone changed, the other seventeen county magistrates also became unkind.

"Yes, we personally saw that the magistrate of Meng County was running around for days and couldn't sleep at night. For some experience, Prefect Qian was so suspicious and even blamed him, which really made us feel heartbroken."

"Who can guard against such a flood? It is inevitable that people will suffer death and injury. What's the point of cherishing?"

Qian Li glanced around them coldly.

"It's inevitable that the people are so popular? County Magistrate Li was so angry."

Qian Li suddenly stood up, his eyes as if he was like a knife, staring at County Magistrate Li, and walked towards him step by step.

"You can't make up the explanation anymore? Then the prefect will think of one for you."

"In order to create a serious disaster in Lin County, you deliberately tricked a group of people into this village. Although this village is in the east of the city and the Yellow River is in the west of the city, the terrain here is low-lying. Once the dam breaks and floods surging, this place will inevitably suffer, and these people will never be spared."

"Then you use this to ask the court for more disaster relief money and food. After you get the money and food, you will leave the people affected by the disaster and fill your personal pockets. As for you, the seventeen county magistrates, I'm afraid you're all in the same place and try to take this opportunity to make a fortune in the national crisis."

He turned his head and stared at the magistrate of Meng County, and said word by word: "How? Is this prefect wrong? "

The previous County Magistrate Li's face turned pale at this time, and he couldn't help but retreat.

"How do you know..."

"Ahem..."

County Magistrate Meng suddenly started to cough loudly, interrupting County Magistrate Li.

County Magistrate Meng also stood up and looked at Qian Li with a pale face.

"We are devoted to the country and the people. With only his own guess, Prefect Qian blamed the court for his crimes for such a crime. We will ask, what are your intentions?"

With his start, all the others stood up and quickly surrounded the money.

"Premier Qian, please apologize to the Magistrate of Meng County."

"Yes, we have a clear conscience to the court and the people. If we don't apologize, please forgive me for not being able to afford this job."

"The county magistrate's old illness relapses and needs to take a few days off. In the disaster relief case of my Yuanyang County, Grandpa Qian will find a way to find a way."

"The same is true for this county magistrate. Heavy rains for several days and his leg disease recurs, so I will not be able to accompany him."

The people who were still worried and trembling just now were all trembling, and they were full of momentum, glaring at Qian Li, as if they were about to swallow him alive.
