The medical concubine devoured the world

Chapter 252 Corruption
The county magistrate called the grand master, and the grand master took the abacus to calculate for a while, and handed over the account book.

The magistrate nodded in satisfaction after reading it.

Meng Siyin and Zhao Xu's jaws dropped in shock when they saw the total amount in the ledger, they even opened their mouths, and it cost 20 taels of silver to open their mouths.

Zhao Xu smiled, put down the account book and said, "The 20 taels of silver won't be available for a while, I wonder if my grandfather can wait a little longer, and I'll ask the people in my bank to send some money over."

The county magistrate said with a look of embarrassment: "The disaster victims can't wait for long. If you wait one more day, a few more people will starve to death. Please be kind as soon as possible."

Meng Siyin and Zhao Xu echoed with smiles on their faces: "That's natural. We will definitely send the money when we transfer it as soon as possible."

Just as Zhao Xu left the Yamen, he cursed, "How dare he say such a thing?"

Meng Siyin looked sad, this county is in such a situation, what about other counties?

This is still a place closer to the capital, and the disaster is not very serious, but it gets worse the further south you go, so what should those people do?
Zhao Xu wrote these situations into a secret letter and sent someone to send it to the court quickly?

While waiting for the reply, Zhao Xu and Meng Siyin were not idle either.

The two turned the yamen upside down, but they couldn't find the place where the magistrate hid the money.

Meng Siyin muttered: "This is still strange, could it be that the money really hasn't been sent to them?"

Zhao Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's impossible for the court to allocate so much money. It must have been sent to the hands, but he didn't hide it in the mansion."

The next day, the magistrate of the county sent someone to the inn to call for the money openly.

Zhao Xu couldn't understand such a person the most.

During yesterday's inspection, he did not find the hidden money, but found that there were many weapons hidden in the basement of the Yamen, which should not be the amount that a Yamen should have.

Zhao Xu frowned, it seemed that he had no choice but to act recklessly, the people they brought were still fifteen miles away.

If there is an emergency, it will not be able to catch up in a while.

Zhao Xu put on a perfunctory smile and said: "I have already urged all the banks to collect money, and you also know that it will take time to release the money and get it back."

The next day, Meng Siyin and Zhao Xu came to the Yamen again.

Meng Siyin looked at the magistrate's fat head and big ears, and thought that there must be many diseases.

During the meal, Meng Siyin raised her head slightly and said, "I see that Grandfather is not in good health. Have you been dizzy and tinnitus recently?"

The magistrate was stunned for a moment, then denied, "I'm in good health."

The grand master was laying vegetables on the side, and said with a sigh: "The county magistrate has worked too hard for the victims in recent days. He almost passed out yesterday, and he is still trying to be brave."

The county magistrate raised his head and gave the grand master a compliment, and the grand master showed a cunning face.

Meng Siyin frowned.

"Maybe it's overworked, let me show you."

The magistrate looked at Meng Siyin suspiciously.

Meng Siyin smiled, and said without hesitation: "Don't look at me as a little girl, three generations of my ancestors have studied medicine, and I can clearly see your ailments with just a few glances."

Meng Siyin took out the blood collection device and pricked the magistrate's finger, and the magistrate shuddered in pain.

The grand master hurriedly said: "Are you trying to seek wealth and kill yourself? Why are you seeing blood?"

Meng Siyin fiddled with the instrument in his hand, and said, "This is my latest invention of bloodletting therapy, so that we can quickly and accurately determine what disease the magistrate is suffering from."

The Taishi and the county magistrate looked at Meng Siyin suspiciously.

Meng Siyin took the glucose tester, and as expected, the three highs and diabetes, it seems that the days are not long, after all, it is so serious that she is unable to recover.

Meng Siyin shook her head sadly.

The magistrate took Meng Siyin's arm and asked, "Girl, what do you mean by shaking your head?"

Zhao Xu pulled away the county magistrate's fat hand in disgust.

"Speak as you speak, don't touch your hands."

Meng Siyin took out the antihypertensive medicine and put it on the table.

"Take this medicine a day, and you will feel much better."

After finishing speaking, Meng Siyin and Zhao Xu left the Yamen.

The magistrate held the colorful pills on the table and asked suspiciously, "Do these really work?"

The grand master has never seen these things.

He said flatteringly: "She doesn't dare to frame the magistrate, if she wants to poison, she will definitely not be able to escape."

The magistrate nodded approvingly.

He took one pill during dinner, and he woke up the next day feeling refreshed.

After eating for three days in a row, my body felt much lighter.

At this time, the emperor replied that he had sent heavy troops.

Now that Zhao Xu had confidence in his heart, he and Meng Siyin let go of their hands and feet to do it.

He brought back the disaster relief funds from outside the city, and a box of white money was placed in the yamen, and the county magistrate stared straight at it.

Meng Siyin looked at the corrupt face of the county magistrate, and reminded from the side: "We brought the money, can we help the victims tomorrow?"

The county magistrate touched the white silver in the box and said with a smile: "That's natural. We will open the warehouse to release grain tomorrow."

Meng Siyin and Zhao Xu did not return to the inn.

In the evening, the two lurked at the back door of the county government office, watching the people in the county government office sneaking out the money.

The two followed all the way to a village in the suburbs.

Zhao Xu took a sip.

"I said that I turned the yamen upside down, but I couldn't find the stolen money. It turned out to be hidden outside."

When the person escorting the bank left, Zhao Xu and Meng Siyin sneaked in from behind.

There is a huge cellar under the ordinary Zhuangzi, and there are boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in the cellar.

Zhao Xu saw the first batch of disaster relief funds allocated by the emperor at a glance, pointed to the gold dollar baby in the box and said, "Look, these are these."

Meng Siyin nodded.

The next day, the county magistrate did not open a warehouse to release grain as promised.

Meng Siyin and Zhao Xu came to the door and asked, "You took the money, why didn't you do anything?"

The county magistrate leaned back on the chair and said with a proud face, "What money? Why didn't I see it?"

Meng Siyin's vision was refreshed by the shamelessness of the person in front of him.

Zhao Xu took out his token of King Dingnan and slapped it on the table.

"Annex the stolen money, and now this king will bring you to justice on the spot."

The magistrate looked at the token on the table and said disdainfully, "Don't think you can scare me with a fake token."

The county magistrate was still leisurely looking at the famous paintings and porcelain in the house, when suddenly someone reported that the bank had been investigated, and the imperial court sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress it.

The magistrate sat on the ground in shock, how could it be possible?He hid the money so secretly, how could it be found by those people?

The county magistrate panicked, he shouted the name of the grand master, but the grand master heard the news in the morning, packed up his bedding and fled without a trace.

Only now did he realize that he had suffered a catastrophe.

He sat decadently in the middle of the yard, and the door was knocked open by officers and soldiers with a slam.

Zhao Xu surrounded the entire yamen with heavy troops sent by the imperial court.

The magistrate raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him with a dejected expression. He had been trembling for half his life, but he never expected to fall into the hands of such a young man.
