Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Shen Yuan stopped another uncle.

The uncle plausibly said: "Every year I let it be picked up, why not let it be picked up this year? What a pity to rot in the ground?" After speaking, he picked up a radish and broke it for Shen Yu'an to see, "Look? This radish is hollow, how can it be Eat?" As he spoke, he threw the radish that had been cut in two into the ground, and continued to pick another one.

A woman next to her was even more annoyed, "Everyone said no more, what are you meddling in here?"

"Who said we don't want it anymore? We are the owners of this land. You stop stealing and robbing again." A man was very angry and came up to reason.

The woman rolled her eyes, pretending she hadn't heard, she slipped into the looting crowd with a sack and disappeared.

"Did someone send someone to report to the government? Didn't the government deal with it?" Ji Xun stood and watched for a while, then asked those farmers.

"Report to the officials? Who dares to report." Looking at the old man lying on the ground, the men shook their heads helplessly, "When the people from the yamen came, these people insisted that we beat people, and finally made us lose money. Dare to report again?"

"Send someone to report it today." Ji Xun said firmly, "If you are sentenced to lose money, I will bear it."

But guys, you look at me and I look at you, no one can believe it.

"You take the 100 taels first, and if it's not enough for a while, my son will make up for it." Lin Yi took out a hundred taels silver bill and handed it to the leading man. The man was stunned for a while in disbelief, and then sent People rode to the city to report to the officials.

Ji Xun warned later, "Ask Tai'an City Taishou to deal with it in person, and say that if he doesn't come, you can take this matter to the Night King."

"Okay." After consulting the leader's opinion with his eyes, the man nodded and rode away.

Not long after, the looters returned with a full load and drove their carriages into the city.

This is not the last batch, another wave will come in less than half an hour, and the looting will continue.

After the third wave of people left, the carriage of Wu Taiyan, the prefect of Kang'an City, arrived, followed by two columns of officers and soldiers, majestic.

Wu Taishou came to the front and got out of the car. He was white and fat without a beard, his eyebrows were long and thick, and he smiled with eight big white teeth. He looked very kind-hearted.

Wu Taishou glanced at Ji Xun and Shen Yuan, and was a little surprised at their outstanding appearance. He didn't expect them to be the Night King and Princess Night at all.

Ji Xun took Shen Yu'an's hand and stepped aside.

It's not that he has never heard of the name of Wu Taiyan, the prefect of Kang'an. Wang Chang once mentioned it, saying that Wu Taiyan has a very good reputation.

Ji Xun wanted to see where his good reputation came from. The vegetables grown by farmers outside the city were looted every year and no one cared about him. How could he get such a good reputation?
Prefect Wu didn't pay attention to Ji Xun either, and walked towards the old man and old lady who fell on the ground with his hands behind his back.

Seeing Taishou Wu approaching, the old man who fell to the ground hurriedly complained, "Taishou Wu, you are our good official and parent official, you have to make decisions for us~~'
The first thing he said was full of flattery, and Wu Taishou was very happy when he heard it, and he shook his head triumphantly.

"When an official does not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes~~ This official has always advocated people-oriented, and the people's livelihood is greater than the sky. Naturally, I will make decisions for you. What's going on? Tell me about the matter in detail. .”

These old men and women snotted and cried, and told about being 'beaten' by the men.

The men hurriedly explained, "The prefect is aware, we didn't beat them~~"

Prefect Wu interrupted, "You didn't beat them? How did they fall to the ground if you didn't beat them? The murder weapon is still in your hands."

The men said helplessly, "Well, they came to the field to steal our vegetables, and we came to drive them away."
"How can the word 'steal' be used in the open sky?" Wu Taishou said, raising his chin at the people who blatantly robbed the vegetables in the field, "Aren't they harvesting openly? Why did they steal?"

These people are indeed aboveboard, they are more casual than picking vegetables from their own vegetable gardens, spoiling while picking, and picking everything that is good, it is indeed not like stealing.

The men's jaws were blocked for a moment, and they were speechless.

Wu Taishou was all smiles, with a benevolent look!
But he spat in his heart, Dazheng Yue’s house is full of guests, these country bumpkins dare to threaten him to stab the matter to His Royal Highness Ye Wang, hum, let them peel off their skins today and tell them to shut up honestly Mouth.

Shen Yu'an really couldn't stand it anymore, when he wanted to speak, Ji Xun shook her hand, and signaled her to leave it alone, he wanted to get rid of this unreal cancer.

Seeing that the men had nothing to say, Taishou Wu spoke up with a dignified expression.

"This official is a good and upright official who makes decisions for the people. He will decide what to do, and he will not favor anyone."
He said and looked at the men: "They took your radish and cabbage, so let them accompany you for radish and cabbage money. And since you beat them, then compensate them for medical expenses~~ Fair and just, can you accept it?"

"Submit!" As soon as Taishou Wu said, the uncle and aunt who fell on the ground burst into smiles.

How cheap are radishes and cabbage? A sack can cost as much as a dozen taels, while seeing a doctor can range from a few taels to as many as tens of taels. They don’t lose anything.

I was so moved that I burst into tears: "My lord is wise, my lord is really a good and upright official in our Kang'an City, if one day His Royal Highness Ye Wang comes to Kang'an City, the grassroots will definitely stop His Highness Ye Wang's carriage and shout three words to him 'Wu The prefect is a peerless good official."

Seeing this, Ji Xun couldn't help but sneered, that's how Wu Taishou earned his 'good reputation'! It's so ridiculous!
Prefect Wu was very happy, his eyebrows trembled with excitement.

After laughing, the award of compensation began.

An old man was "beaten" and broke his leg, and the medical expenses were 100 taels. An old lady was "beaten" and lost two teeth, and the medical expenses were 20 taels..
After double calculation, the villagers compensated the injured old man and old lady for a total of 500 taels of medical expenses, and the old man and old lady compensated these rural villagers with [-] yuan.

Shen Yuan laughed angrily after hearing the verdict, if there is such a mouse dropping in Taian, how to deal with it?
The men also had nothing to do, and looked at Ji Xun helplessly, "500 taels~~ Our whole village can't make up this money."

There was a hint of coldness in Wu Taishou's smile: "Can't get it all together? If you can't make it all up, you will all be arrested, and you will be imprisoned for ten or eight years to pay for other people's medical expenses."

After speaking, with a wave of his hand, the officials surrounded these farmers, and put the cold official knife on their necks.This group of ignorant bumpkins~~ let them go in vertically and come out horizontally, let's see who dares to threaten him in the future!
"Young master~~Here, this is what you told us to report to the officials." The leading man turned his eyes to Ji Xun for help, "Why don't you lend us 400 taels first, and we will pay you back little by little in the future~~"

Ji Xun didn't answer the men's words, but cast a cold glance at Prefect Wu, and told Lin Yi.

"Tie Wu Taiyan and bring him into the city."

Before Taishou Wu understood the situation, Lin Yi dodged and detained him
"Bold untouchables, dare to touch the court officials, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and arrest these people." After hearing what Wu Taishou said, the officials hurriedly surrounded Lin Yi, Ji Xun and others, but unfortunately they didn't Nearly all were knocked down by the shadows.

Afterwards, Shen Yuan and Ji Xun got into the carriage and headed for the city, but the old men and women lying on the ground saw that the situation was not right and the carriage accelerated towards them, and got up and ran more nimbly one by one.

Prefect Wu was still swearing and cursing, and the downed officers and soldiers chased after Ji Xun's carriage again. At this time, Wang Chang led a group of soldiers and horses, and went straight to the front of the carriage and knelt down.

"Subordinates are late, please forgive me, Your Highness the Night King!"
