Ever since He Kui became District Chief, his deputy Cui Zhonghua had followed his lead, talking back to their superiors, reporting his colleagues for corruption, and cracking down on disciplinary violations among their subordinates every day. It had ruined the reputation for quietly going along with everyone that he had built over decades.
Cui Zhonghua had never been so upright in his life.
The others hated He Kui with a vengeance, but there was nothing they could do about him. After all, he had Governor Jonathan's favor.
He Kui had once discussed with Cui Zhonghua the idea of using money seized from corrupt officials to buy grain and distribute it free of charge in impoverished areas.
But when they actually tried to put it into practice, they found it simply could not be done-the price of long-haired red rice was high, and there were far too many people who needed food. Their supplies would not last long at all. It was a drop in the bucket.
