The tough wife has room to farm

Chapter 301 Official or Bandit

No one knew what they said in the house that day.

It was only on the second day that they brought a carriage and drove away the dozen or so servants.

Headed towards Heshan Town, and told Huang Xiu and Erhu who stayed behind to cooperate well and help the villagers continue the work of killing insects.

Stay here with peace of mind, waiting for their return.

Those guards who came with Mr. Puyu also left on foot after the car. People who saw it said that they were heading in the direction of Heshan Town.

Compared to Shen Pingxi and Young Master Puyu, Wen Nuan is the person who is most familiar with the situation here.

She took these people directly to the wharf contracted by Guojianglong not far outside Heshan Town, and stopped at a tea shed where Wen Nuan checked the situation before, wanting to see the situation here.

It is also due to the fate of the crossing the river dragon and the others, but at such a terrible time today, they are doing a secret thing in the open and aboveboard.

In order to appease the people suffering from the locust plague, the imperial court issued disaster relief food here.

Workers on the wharf successively removed bags of sacks of grain packed in sacks from the official ship, but they were not transported to the warehouse for storage, waiting to be counted and registered in the register, and distributed to the corresponding victims.

Instead, the bags of life-saving food were cut open and poured on the tidal flats by the water. The rice inside was mixed with yellow sand, which was artificially mixed, and put back into the pocket just like that. .

Seeing that the original sacks were not enough, the amount of grain that should have been hundreds of bags increased by one-third after this operation.

Young Master Puyu looked at Wen Nuan questioningly, and asked, "What are they doing?"

Nuan Nuan gritted his teeth with hatred, and said in a ruthless voice, "Hmph, it's not for money!"

In this matter, Shen Pingyan was the one who saw it more clearly, and gave Mr. Puyu an explanation of literacy.

"Do you know what the price of food is now?"

Mr. Puyu felt that this question was very naive. Although he had been in the capital all the time, he was very clear about the price of grain that the common people were most concerned about, so he answered without hesitation, "Eight cents a liter."

Nuan Nuan laughed after hearing this, "Indeed, in normal years, at the price of 60 Wen per liter, you can still buy polished rice, but now it is more than [-] Wen per liter of polished rice."

Shen Pingxi, the husband and wife singer, was also talking beside him, and said with a sip of tea in a strange way.

"Now not only the polished rice costs more than 60 renminbi, but the silt is also sold at a price of more than 60 renminbi. If the sand is mixed with it, it is like a copper plate. What's more, these are the disaster food of the imperial court, which is even more lucrative."

Young Master Puyu's face suddenly turned dark, apparently shocked by the truth revealed in their words.

After being dazed for a moment, he called the guard behind him to give some instructions, and the man quickly turned around and left.

Presumably, it should be to ask people to leave with the food convoy to see where the food will eventually be transported!
Nuan Nuan and Shen Pingxi, the two couples looked at each other, as if they were ready to watch a good show.

Originally, they were going to take over the matter here, but now it seems that the mysterious big brother is ready to do it, the two of them are happy to have nothing to do, and follow the audience to eat melons and watch the show.

And the county government office in Heshan Town is not peaceful now, just because they lost more than a dozen servants.

Live well, go out to perform tasks, and there is no feedback for a day and a night, and I have not seen anyone come back and change shifts.

Heshan Zhenling, who has been staying in the county government all the time, is not calm anymore, and the director is even more thoughtful.

"Go find someone to see what those people guarding outside the city are doing?"

The county magistrate's words, let the master be clever, and leave as soon as possible after reacting.

But before the people who went out to inquire about the news came back, a carriage arrived at the gate of the county government office, and the driver was a tall, strong and handsome man.

Sitting on the side of the chariot was a fair-faced and handsome young man and a handsome young man in brocade clothes.

A few attendants who came on foot followed the car, and they were not easy to provoke just because of their imposing manner.

The carriage stopped straight at the gate of the county government office, and the gate guard went over to ask, "Who are you? Do you know where this is? If you don't want to die, move the car away!"

It was the burly young man who spoke, "I'm here to report the crime. I met a gangster on the road, and I've captured him. He's in the car now. Please come out and judge."

This is to report the case?

The guards in front of the gate wondered, they had never heard of any gangsters around Heshan Town?
Could it be the refugees who were affected by the disaster?Knowing that there is no way to survive, has already begun to gather crowds to rebel?

Asking everyone to wait outside, he hurried in and informed the magistrate of the news.

The county magistrate of Heshan County is surnamed Qian, which fits his greedy nature. His original name was Qian Shouyi, but now because of his style, the villagers secretly gave him another nickname, called Yishouqian.

It fully proves the behavior characteristics of this "as long as you get the money, you can have everything", and also points out the essence of his corrupt official.

When a report was made, some people said that more than a dozen gangsters were caught at one time.

But when he stood at the gate of the yamen and looked out, he was shocked to see people dragged out of the carriage, all of them in a state of disarray, with injuries all over their bodies, all of them were his missing servants...

County magistrate Qian narrowed his small eyes for a moment, scanning the leaders and the energetic followers.

I knew that this time I capsized in the gutter and hit a hard rock that is not afraid of death.

He suppressed his voice and asked, "Who are you? Now do you know what crime you have committed?"

Shen Pingxi said gloomyly, "What crime? I don't know what crime. I only know that these people pretended to be officials and carried out robbery. I just came to ask you, magistrate, whether these people are bandits or servants!"

There was a lot of groaning around, and many people watching the excitement had already surrounded.

The magistrate of this hand of money is famous in Heshan Town, but everyone knows it, everyone knows it.

Now seeing someone gonging and arguing face to face in an open and aboveboard manner, it immediately attracted everyone's onlookers.

County magistrate Qian is also shameless, and it is even more difficult to earn money now that riding a tiger is difficult, not to mention that there are so many people on his side, and all the policemen on his side are already in such a mess.

Unable to beat them, in order to use the worst strategy, he turned his head and wanted to stabilize these troublemakers first.

Changing his face very quickly, he put on a polite and smiling face and said, "Guys, there may be some misunderstanding here, why don't we sit down in the yamen and let's clarify."

Secretly, he was instructing the gatekeepers to report to Guo Jianglong, hoping to ask his brother-in-law to bring someone over to support him.

These small actions were noticed by Wen Nuan, Shen Pingxin and the others, but everyone remained silent.

Gathering all the people together makes it easy to do things...it saves you from looking for them one by one, and troubles your own legs and feet.

The three of them led two guards and walked towards the inside of the yamen. Naturally, people from the yamen went up to help untie the tied up officials behind them.

The so-called monk can't run away from the temple if he can run away, the county government pokes him here to hang his money and guard his ability for a day, and the dragon who can cross the river may not be able to cross their small river.

Now that we have met today, it is just a matter of time to settle the matter. If such a person stays here, he will only continue to endanger the people of one side.
