In June of the fourth year of Qingli, there was a severe drought in Shandong. The grain harvest failed and the Weishui River stopped flowing.
It was possible to survive in the city, but sixty-seven out of ten people died from starvation outside the city. Qingzhou, Mizhou, Yizhou and other prefectures have had no rain for several months, leaving victims sleepy and homeless. For hundreds of miles, all vegetation is gone.
In years of famine, bandits are common. The imperial court allocated money for disaster relief and distributed it to various state capitals. Suddenly it was reported that Qingzhou's 100,000 taels of relief money had disappeared. Long Yan was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the case.
The situation in the officialdom has changed suddenly. Let's see how cat and mouse solve the case.
