Chapter 233: Why didn’t Xiao Fujin reply?
After a moment, the curtain of Fucha Maqi's shed was opened.
Galtu's face was full of anger and he shouted: "Are you the ones who became the governor in front of the emperor?"
"Otherwise, why would the Ministry of Personnel want to dismiss me from my post and hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment?"
Gartu's words were consistent with what Ma Qi handed to Si Age.
The interval between these two orders was no more than three days.
If Gartu suddenly did something, the emperor ordered the officials to investigate immediately.
That is...
There was a smile in Fucha Maqi's eyes: "You know, today's Holy Emperor always protects the calf."
Brother Si silently put away the book.
Gartu didn't know: "What do you mean?"
Fucha Maqi was impatient: "Galtu, you have neglected your duty, failed to fulfill your responsibilities, and disrespected the prince. It is only natural that the emperor will hand you over to the Ministry of Personnel to formulate a method of disposal."
"Now, the order has not been announced to you by this imperial envoy. How can you know the inside story?"
"You always inquire about the palace news, and someone from the six departments leaked the secret to you?"
"Or, you maliciously intercepted the letters from me and the capital to spy on the holy will. What crime should you be guilty of?"
For the sake of his son, Kangxi accelerated the pace of dealing with local officials, and just let Si Age himself know.
There is no need to let the unclear-minded governor himself know.
Gartu was speechless and could only beg for mercy: "I don't dare! I know my mistake!"
"Fourth Brother, please take a look at how hard Xiaguan has been working these days and put in a good word for Xiaguan."
The fourth elder brother said coldly: "May I ask, Lord Governor, are you calling me labor when you spend all your efforts on trying to please Shang Feng and use your energy on harassing me?"
"If that's the case, I really have to make another note on the governor's case."
When the fourth elder brother inspected the public sentiment, Galtu served him tea and water.
The people affected by the disaster thought he was pretending and refused to tell him the truth.
He went to the hospital to visit the patients.
Galtu had to follow behind, as if the patients were carrying strong viruses and wanted to wrap themselves up.
How could patients be willing to tell him their difficulties in front of him?
According to Fujin's pamphlet, Brother Si managed to get supplies and made a batch of veils and bandages for emergency use by doctors, medical men and patients in the hospital.
Those veils were snatched away by Gartu and first used on their accompanying officials.
Brother Si got angry once.
Gartu then coerced officials who used veil masks to buy them with private money.
It is good to fill the shortage of veil masks.
Brother Si explained that there is currently a shortage of medical supplies in the disaster area, and it is not possible to buy them with money.
Gartu asked the officials to give double or triple the amount of money.
The fourth elder brother was speechless.
The fourth elder brother was once again angered by Galtu's shamelessness.
At the moment, Khan Amma's punishment has just been handed down, and Si Age finally doesn't have to see the face of a corpse lying bare of food and dereliction of duty and oppressing the people in the disaster area.
Galtu was annoyed by Yin and Yang, and immediately asked: "Sir Brother, as a high-ranking prince, why are you talking so freely? You have done so many things, but you can't even see it?"
Fourth Brother: "The governor should save his words and go to the capital to explain to the people in the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment."
"Of course, if the governor wants me to make a confession to officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment, I am not afraid of this level of trouble."
"If any of you are free, please send one to the governor so that he can go on his way in peace!"
Galtu was extremely angry: "Although the fourth elder brother has joined the household department, he does not have any actual duties. I'm afraid it's not the fourth prince's turn to give orders, right?"
Officials who were initially wary of the word "available" stepped forward one after another, intending to take Gartu into custody.
These days, they still can't understand anything.
The Minister of Hubu valued the fourth prince very much, not as a "high-ranking prince", but as a "colleague" who truly taught him how to do things.
Qi Si elder brother followed them to the disaster area. He did everything personally, had good ideas, was courageous, and was willing to do practical things.
Who wouldn't like such a master?
Ma Qi secretly laughed in his heart. Fourth Brother's mouth is very stupid when he praises others, but he is very neat when he hurts others.
He named a few officials to prevent everyone from listening to Si Age's words, and escorted Galtu back to the capital.
Originally, Ma Qi hoped that Si Age would return to Beijing first.
But now he is afraid that Galtu will be angry to death by Si Age on the way.
Everyone watched as the former governor left the disaster area, furious and like a lost dog.
Back in the tent, Brother Si finally had time to write the second letter he sent home.
He said: "Fu Jin, to this day, I feel that being born between heaven and earth, he has his own place to be useful..."
At the end, Brother Si struggled for a while whether to leave a message with the word "miss you".
As for thinking, he certainly wanted to.
However, after entering Pingyang Mansion, he was so busy that his feet never touched the floor. He often returned to the shed, and even if it was just a bed made of two planks, he would sleep on it with pillow towels on it.
The fourth brother is always worried that there are disaster victims suffering in a corner that he doesn't know about, and no one knows about it. He has nowhere to redress his grievances, and he wants to break himself into two people.
I really don’t have much time left to miss my beloved.
After struggling for a moment, Si Age finally just made the payment.
The next day, after the problem of Galtu and others was solved, Fucha Maqi issued a holy decree: "The emperor's decree means that the victims will suffer and the court will provide them with compensation."
"For the people who were crushed to death in the earthquake, each household was given two taels of silver; for the people who were unable to repair their houses after the disaster, each household was given one tael of silver."
Officials began to check the population and pay silver coins.
Fourth Prince accompanied Ma Qi and supervised for several days.
By the time the counties most affected by the disaster had received similar compensation.
When calculating the silver taels, I found that many family members of the deceased did not come to receive the two taels of silver.
It turns out that no one in the family survived, probably due to the earthquake.
Brother Si put away his sadness and continued his calculations.
Finally, when he was alone, he fell into a trance. Several days had passed since the second letter, but he had not yet received a reply.
Calculated by foot distance, it shouldn't be.
When Fujin acts, he will make sure nothing is lost.
So, the answer is that Fujin did not reply.
Why?
It's because Jingzhong is too busy to reply.
But what could he be busy with?
It was the prince and the eldest brother who took advantage of his absence to cause trouble for Fujin.
Worst of all, did Fujin have an accident?
Not only did the secret guards fail to save Fujin, they didn't even have time to send him a message.
But there are still Concubine Yonghe Palace and several young brothers in the capital, so there is no reason why there should be no news.
After all, Fujin is a serious royal daughter-in-law. Anyone who wants to do something to her must think carefully.
It should be unlikely...
Brother Si thought for a long time and overturned his guesses one after another.
In the end, I even thought, could it be that because he didn't mention his thoughts in the letter, Xiao Fujin got angry and deliberately didn't reply?
