The Southern Song Dynasty began with the apprenticeship of Huang Shang

Chapter 22
Zhang Jun glanced at the guard and ordered: "Open!"

The guard agreed, and split open a bag of grain with a knife. The snow-white rice fell all over the ground. The guard grabbed a handful and took a closer look.

"Lord, look!"

The guard's hand spread out in front of Zhang Jun's eyes, causing Zhang Jun's eyes to shrink immediately. He saw that there were many white particles mixed with the white rice, which were all sand.

"Open another bag!"

Zhang Jun ordered the guard again.

Immediately afterwards, the guard opened the second bag and the third bag... and all the rice bags were filled with half sand and half white rice.

"Bastards, Wang An, Shen You!"

Zhang Jun said angrily: "You two explain to me why there is so much sand in this grain bag?"

"My lord, calm down!"

Wang An knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said in a trembling voice: "The lower official was wronged, this must be Shen You's fault, it has nothing to do with the lower official!"

"My lord, you can't spitting blood. Zhao Butou transported food, but we never touched it. How can you say it's our fault?"

Shen You blushed and shouted at Wang An.

"Humph!"

Wang An snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "You are unwilling to hand over the official salt business, and you have a grudge in your heart, and it is still unknown to take revenge on the government in a private way!"

In ancient times, if someone wantonly destroys the relief food, it is a serious crime. If it is light, he will be dismissed from office, and if it is serious, he will be sent to the frontier or be executed.

Wang An didn't want to bring himself to jail because of the disaster relief food, if he could push it, he would definitely push it, even if Shen You was his distant relative, so what, if people don't do it for themselves, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth.

"you…………"

Shen You pointed at Wang An, his chest rising and falling.

"Shut up!"

Zhang Jun said coldly: "Go and bring Catcher Zhao, I have something to ask him!"

Zhang Jun's guard agreed and left the Shen family's warehouse.

Guard Zhang Jun came outside the woods of Gangzi Village and shouted loudly to the refugees: "Your Imperial Envoy has an order, and you will personally investigate the case of sand mixed with relief food, and I will give you an explanation!"

Zhang Jun did not leave the Shen family, but directly set up a court in the compound of the Shen family to thoroughly investigate the case of food mixed with sand for disaster relief.

In the Shen family compound, Zhang Jun was wearing a unicorn military officer's robe and a long-winged black gauze hat, sitting in the hall with a stern expression.

His two personal bodyguards and master were the first to attack, with Zhang Jun's soldiers and the government servants of Jiaxing Mansion on both sides.

Wang An, Zhao Butou and He Shenyou stood under the hall respectively.

"Snapped"

Zhang Jun patted the gavel, looked at Zhao Butou, and asked, "Zhao Butou, did you personally escort the disaster relief food to Shen's house last night?"

Catcher Zhao hurriedly replied: "My lord, I was ordered by Lord Wang last night to personally escort a total of [-] dan of relief food to the Shen family."

"It was received by the gods and officials personally, and I have the certificate here."

Catcher Zhao took out a receipt from his arms while Zhang Jun's bodyguard took it and presented it to Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun took the bill and looked it over carefully. It was indeed Shen You's autograph and seal.

Zhang Jun shook the bill and said to Shen You: "Shen You, what do you have to say now?"

"puff"

Shen You knelt on the ground and shouted: "My lord, the grassroots are wronged!"

"Caomin gave up the sale of official salt just to get the big households in Jiaxing Prefecture to donate money and food for disaster relief."

"Besides, in order to help the victims of the disaster, the grassroots took out all the food stored in their homes, and also paid for medicinal materials to prevent the breeding of plague."

"There is no reason for grassroots people to mix sand in the relief food. Please learn from me!"

Zhang Jun frowned and said: "What you said is somewhat reasonable, but the disaster relief food was an accident that happened in your Shen family, even if it wasn't done by you, it has nothing to do with you!"

Shen You turned to look at Zhao Butou, and said, "Zhao Butou, you have to rely on your conscience, are you sure what you sent is good white rice?"

Zhao Butou replied: "Mr. Shen, I pledge my wealth and life. I inspected all the relief food when I collected it. It is confirmed that it is intact rice. The rest of the yamen servants will testify!"

"you…………"

Shen You pointed at Zhao Butou, his face flushed, and then spit out a mouthful of blood with a "poof", his body was on the verge of falling.

"Shen You, what else do you have to say?"

Zhang Jun patted the gavel and shouted: "If you don't resort to the truth, you won't be tortured!"

Shen You sat paralyzed on the ground, pointed at Zhang Jun, Wang An, and Zhao Butou, and sighed: "Officials have two words, and officials guard each other. I have nothing to say!"

"Snapped"

Zhang Jun slapped the gavel again, and shouted: "Shen You, I see that you will not cry when you see the coffin, so I will help you!"

As Zhang Jun said, he grabbed the token next to him and threw it out: "Give me a hard hit of [-] big boards first!"

After receiving Zhang Jun's order, the government servants under the hall did not neglect, lifted Shen You up and pushed him to the ground.

"Master Qingtian, you are wronged!"

"Injustice!"

Suddenly there was a scream from below, it was Shen You's mother Zou Shi, Shen You's wife Lin Mei'e, and Yang Chengye's mother Wu Ruolan shouting from the hall.

"Master Imperial Envoy, Mr. Shen is a good man, please forgive him!"

"Yes, my lord imperial envoy, luckily for our heat stroke, there were officials from Shen who made soup for us, and some officials from Shen gave us porridge so that we prevented us from starving to death on the street. Please learn from me, my lord imperial envoy!"

At this time, the refugees who came to watch also pleaded, and knelt on the ground "hula la".

"Huh, disturbing the court, the crime is aggravated, and I will beat you!"

Zhang Jun slapped the gavel again and gave the order.

After hearing Zhang Jun's order, the yamen servants had no choice but to raise their sticks. Although they also knew that Shen You was a good person, they were on public rations and had to obey the orders.

"Snapped"

"stop!"

Just when the yamen servant's stick was about to fall on Shen You's buttocks, the yamen servant's stick suddenly broke and fell to the ground, and at the same time, a violent shout sounded.

Everyone looked up, only to see a [-]-year-old boy, accompanied by Uncle Fu, walk into the compound, which is the court set up by Zhang Jun.

It was Yang Chengye who came, and when he returned to Shen's house, he happened to meet Uncle Fu who came to look for him.

Uncle Fu told Yang Chengye what had happened, and hurried back.

"Who is coming?"

Zhang Jun stared at Yang Chengye and asked.

Yang Chengye came to the lobby and stood still, with a calm expression on his face, he said, "My surname is Yang Chengye, Shen You is my sworn brother, and I am his sworn brother?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jun said coldly: "Even if you are Shen You's brother-in-law, you can't trespass in the courtroom, what crime should you have?"

"Hahahaha"

Yang Chengye laughed and said: "This is really the first time I heard that a benevolent person who donated all his family's food to the refugees and used tens of thousands of money to buy medicinal materials to treat the refugees' serious diseases was detained by the government and was about to be severely punished." .”

"this………"

Yang Chengye's words immediately made Zhang Jun speechless, not knowing how to respond.

"Yang Chengye!"

Seeing Zhang Jun's embarrassment, Wang An suddenly shouted: "Even if Shen You contributes money and food to treat the refugees, but mixing sand into the relief food is not allowed by the national law and should be severely punished!"
