Chapter 181: Mistakenly entered an illegal business, alarmed, alarmed, alarmed
Chu Qing-Yan propped up her chin, recalling the knowledge she learned before from school books. At that time, what did her teacher say to her? The governor of a province is the highest official in the region. He managed the issues of the people, and decided on litigations and purchases with other regions. He could also self-appoint officials under him.
He was equivalent to the modern day governor of a province and the mayor.
But the province area in the ancient era was much smaller than modern ones, it wasn't comparable.
But this government official position in ancient era was already considered pretty big.
And at this time, a burst of wind blew by. It blew some paper on the couch to the side of her foot. In pa.s.sing, she picked it up and inadvertently saw what was written on it.
Three years ago, a flood happened in Qi Xian, a region under Liu Ying's management. The imperial court allocated the region three million taels, but in the end, the people of Qi Xian only received three hundred thousand. The whereabouts of the remaining two million seven hundred thousand became a mystery. During the flood disaster, one hundred and seventy two people died. Among them, one hundred and ten people died of starvation.
Chu Qing-Yan's eyes opened wide after seeing the information written on the paper. No wonder Big Block of Ice's expression was so bad.
The whereabouts of several millions of silver for disaster relief became a mystery. It already could clearly indicate a kind of meaning.
Embezzlement.
