The two thousand taels of gold theft case was solved in a somewhat unusual way.
The disaster has not eased at all.
Meng Shaoyuan photographed a large number of famine tragedies.
These are all to be taken to Chongqing to show to the Chairman.
Su Junwen, who went out to buy food and provide relief to the victims, came back.
The problem is, he comes up empty-handed.
Not a grain of food was brought back.
"what happened?"
Meng Shaoyuan frowned.
"Sir, we can't transport food."
Su Junwen said with a sad face: "I finally purchased a batch of grain, but when I entered Henan, it was all robbed by the victims.
I originally wanted to shoot to suppress them, but seeing those victims, I, I really couldn't do it. "
"It's okay, you did the right thing." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Compared to starving to death, bullets are not so scary. Anyway, these grains are for the victims. If you grab them, just grab them."
Who is Master Meng?
If his things were robbed, wouldn't he be compensated ten times or a hundred times?
But this time, he was willing to be robbed.
The disaster is beyond control.
In the face of natural disasters, even if Meng Shaoyuan had great abilities, he was helpless at this time.
There was a call from Tang Enbo. There is a military plane going to Chongqing tomorrow.
It's time to go back.
The second telegram from the Chairman came again, urging Meng Shaoyuan to return to Chongqing as soon as possible.
let's go.
I hope that my trip to Henan this time can help this troubled province.
On the way back to Zhengzhou, the scenes I saw were shocking.
A dog, a domestic dog, skinny as a stick.
It was chewing on a corpse.
Perhaps that was its former owner.
It is said that dogs are the most loyal animals, but when they are extremely hungry, they have forgotten what their master is.
Meng Shaoyuan's hands were trembling when he took this photo.
"Locusts! Locusts!"
Suddenly, someone screamed in panic.
The locust plague is finally inevitable!
In the distance, a large black "cloud" appeared!
The terrible locusts are coming!
A large swarm of migratory locusts covered the sky, more than ten miles wide from east to west, and the sky was darkened for a while.
Many people sat on the ground and cried.
It's over, it's over.
The thing you feared the most is finally here!
Even if there is a severe drought, there will still be some left in the land.
But when the locust plague comes, no grass will grow.
Locusts are even more terrifying than the ferocious Japanese army!
At the very least, the Japanese army could be eliminated and killed.
What about locusts?
There's nothing you can do about them.
You can only watch helplessly as the locust army roars past, sweeping away everything you can see.
It brings despair and takes away your last shred of hope!
After the drought in Henan, the locust plague began to rage.
The locust plague was first discovered in Weishi County, Henan.
But that wasn't too serious then.
By late July, swarms of locusts began to infest this land that had already suffered endless suffering.
At this moment, Meng Shaoyuan was also desperate.
This was the first time he had seen such a horrific scene.
The locusts flew in large swaths, blocking out the sun, and the crops quickly turned into bare stalks. When encountering a wall, locusts can crawl on the wall in dense numbers.
He battled wits and courage with the Japanese army in Shanghai, fought with a bayonet in Houjia Village, and narrowly escaped death in Yeren Mountain.
He has experienced countless dangers, but never once has he been as completely desperate as he was here.
The car drove into Zhengzhou.
Butler Qiu had already burst into tears.
He could only watch his fellow villagers struggling on the verge of death.
"do not Cry."
Meng Shaoyuan tidied his clothes.
The car door opened and Meng Shaoyuan got out of the car.
"Brother!"
It was Tang Enbo who came to greet him personally.
Holding Meng Shaoyuan's hand was like holding his best friend.
Meng Shaoyuan was also smiling.
He knows what kind of expression to put on on what occasion.
Even though his heart was dark at this moment.
Tang Enbo has prepared a farewell banquet for him.
In times of national crisis, keep everything simple and simple.
Therefore, there were not many dishes arranged.
Spicy lotus root slices, pepper chicken, stir-fried beef with water chestnuts, and braised duck. Braised duck, sweet and sour fish, two vegetarian dishes, two soups.
As for the staple food, there are barely four kinds:
Spring rolls, hot steamed buns, rice, frosted cakes.
Guests can eat whatever flavor they like.
As for the number of people eating, it is better not to have too many people. There are only two people in total:
One is Tang Enbo and the other is Meng Shaoyuan.
Meng Shaoyuan had no appetite at all.
As soon as he picked up the chopsticks, the dog and the swarm of locusts appeared in his mind.
How can I drink this wine?
"Brother, when you come to Henan this time, you will also be responsible for inspecting the disaster situation." Tang Enbo put down his chopsticks and said, "Brother, after returning to Chongqing, I don't know how to describe it to the committee."
Meng Shaoyuan was not in a hurry to answer: "What do you mean, Chief Tang?"
"Brother, I'm a few years older than you, and I should tell you some things." Tang Enbo was also polite: "Are there any disasters in Henan? Yes. Why not report it? Everyone knows it.
You have witnessed this with your own eyes during this field trip, and you cannot hide it after all. I don’t know the commission today, but I will definitely know it tomorrow. But how to repay?
I thought that the disaster in Henan had just begun and was not serious at first, but who would have thought that the locust plague suddenly came. This man-made disaster is easy to control, and natural disasters are not included in our calculations. "
At this point, Tang Enbo's true intention was fully revealed.
The disaster has evolved to this point, and it is no longer possible to hide it.
If you can seal one person's mouth, how can you seal the mouths of millions and tens of millions of people?
But the time to report the disaster situation is very particular.
The disaster has lasted for more than seven months, which is completely different from when it first started.
Not reporting for more than seven months is cheating.
Just started?
Who can control it?
Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly: "Yes, that's right, the disaster has just begun!"
He was famously shameless, but after saying these words, he felt so ashamed that he wished he could slap himself in the face.
What a disaster.
The red land is thousands of miles away, and the mourning people are everywhere.
But officials from top to bottom are not thinking about how to provide disaster relief, but how to shirk responsibility for themselves.
Unfortunately, he was also involved.
Tang Enbo was overjoyed: "I have already said that Dai Li's people can't be wrong. Brother Meng, I didn't treat you well this time. Next time you have the opportunity to come to Henan, I will treat you well." You, I’ll treat you well.”
At this point, he lowered his voice: "One more thing, HEN Provincial Chairman Li Peiji has rushed to Chongqing to meet with the commissioners. Previously, when he was collecting grain in Henan, Li Peiji sent a telegram to the commissioners, I pushed back and forth, but the committee member called me back and scolded me.
This time he went to Chongqing in person, presumably to collect grain. When your brother goes back, he must first meet with the committee. Brother, let me remind you first, no matter what you say, how can you satisfy the committee? This must be done beforehand. You have to think about it in your stomach. "
