Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 361 Take it all away

Only then did Wang realize the seriousness of the problem, her face turned a little pale, and she grabbed rich man Li's sleeve: "Master, master, please help me, it's just a broken steamed bun, and it's not poison. Catch me?"

"ignorance!"

Rich Li shook off her hand and scolded, "Why did you do this! What good does it do you? Are you trying to make things difficult for my Li family?!"

"How can I have trouble with our Li family..." Wang cried, "Why should our family's food be given to those poor victims for nothing... so many people, why don't they make the family poor?"

Rich Man Li opened his eyes wide: "So you are distressed about the food and are not willing to take it out? Then you can discuss it with me!"

"It's not that I'm afraid that the master will dislike me. I think I'm not virtuous, and I don't have the bearing of a housewife..." Mrs. Wang was upset by crying like a fly.

"Then you decide on your own? Do you know that because of what you did, the warehouse at home was robbed, and how much food was lost in vain? How many people were killed and injured at home when the victims of the disaster came? Have you ever thought about this! Just because of you Stupid stingy and miserly!"

Rich Li started to growl after speaking, and almost poked Wang's face with his fingers.

Frightened, Wang huddled and cried.

Qingluo watched from the side, and couldn't help sighing in her heart.

Who would have imagined that those few innocent lives were due to the miserly behavior of an ignorant woman.

It must be difficult for them to rest in peace under the Nine Springs.

"Master Li," she stood up and said, "Since the matter is clear, you should stop complaining. Call out the servant who killed someone in your family, and come back to the county government with me."

Rich Man Li's chubby face was bitter, his eyebrows drooped, and his face, which resembled Li Beibei's, was a little joyful to look at.

But at this moment, Qingluo didn't have the intention of appreciating it, she was feeling a little uncomfortable all the time, she felt her back was sweating, she stood up and her feet were light, she just wanted to close her eyes and take a deep sleep.

"My lord, are you alright?" Even Catcher Huang noticed that her face was turning pale.

"It's okay." Qing Luo supported the handle of the chair and ordered, "Feng Jia, go out and have a look. The people Feng Yi called should have arrived, let them come in, and bring back rich man Li and the servants involved."

Feng Jia and Feng Yi are brothers, they were very surprised when they heard this, they hurried out, and they brought seven or eight servants with them.

"When did your lord let him go back and move people here? It's so predictable!" Huang Catcher was surprised and admired.

Even he, an old headhunter, was afraid after going through such a scene, but the newly appointed county magistrate was so calm, and he was able to send people back to rescue the soldiers in time.

Just this courage and quick wit made Huang Catcher completely put away his contempt and regard her as a superior from the bottom of his heart.

Although rich man Li has some money and food, he is at best a rich man from the countryside, so naturally he dare not confront the government.

He obediently called out a few tough servants, let Catcher Huang lead them to tie them up, and sneaked outside in a series, gathering them together with the troublemakers among the victims.

"My lord." Li Zheng walked over with a hesitant expression on his face.

Qingluo said softly: "Don't worry, according to the court's law, since you have arrived in my Pingyang County, I naturally can't just sit idly by. I'll get some food delivered when I go back. As for what to do in the future, let me think about it."

"Thank you, sir!" Li Zheng bent down and bowed deeply to her.

……

It was already afternoon when I returned to the county government with two groups of people.

As a result, another embarrassment arose: there were not enough prison cells to hold so many people.

Qing Luo had no choice but to pull out the files urgently, to see which crimes were less serious, and then let them go home.

After all, the Queen's decree of amnesty for the world has been announced, and many people should have been released long ago.It's just that she didn't arrive at the post, so she was delayed.

Let go of a group of prisoners who were locked in for trivial matters, and the cell immediately became empty, and then the dozen or so people who were brought back were locked in.

As for rich man Li and Wang, they were locked in two cells respectively, waiting for interrogation.

After finally sitting down to take a breath, Qing Luo, who drank saliva, had not yet sat firmly on the chair, so someone reported that her elders had come to look for her.

"Who is here?" Qing Luo knew that Liu Heping and Du Shi could not just come to the county government office to look for her.

Then the so-called elders are naturally those in the old house.

Feng Jia said: "My lord, he is an old man and a man who looks like a scholar."

Sure enough, Mr. Liu and Uncle Liu.

Qingluo didn't have the energy to deal with them at this time, so she waved her hand and asked Feng Jia to send them away.

Thinking that those victims were still starving, she called Ouyang county magistrate and asked, "There should be a granary in our county, right?"

"Yes, there are, but the account books for these grains are managed by Mr. Shen himself, but his subordinates don't have them."

Qingluo frowned: "He handles the accounts himself?"

Ouyang Xiancheng hurriedly shook his head: "No, it's his Master Qian Liang who is in charge of the account. Didn't the county magistrate find some masters in advance before coming? At least the criminal lawyer and Master Qian Liang are indispensable."

According to the rules, this master does not belong to the official system of Dazhou, but is a helper hired by the officials themselves.

That is to say, it is an official's personal act to invite masters, and the salaries of these masters have to be paid by the officials themselves, and the court does not care about it and is not responsible.

So Qingluo really didn't expect this.

After she really took office, she realized that there are too many and complicated things to be responsible for as a county magistrate.

With her alone, she couldn't do it even if she was exhausted.

After listening to Ouyang County Cheng's reminder, she began to think seriously about hiring the master.

"It's too late to find the master right now, Mr. Xian, let me take a look at the photo album with you, and we'll talk about it in case of emergency."

Ouyang county magistrate was kind enough to help Qingluo reconcile the accounts together.

As a result, the pair discovered that the actual amount of grain in the granary was far less than the amount on the books.

Needless to say, this huge gap must have been embezzled by the former county magistrate.

If the court finds out about this, it will be a big trouble, and Qing Luo will not be able to please her.

This empress is really cheating!
Qing Luo felt resentment in her heart, but she couldn't do anything about it, it was more important to settle the matter at hand first.

In the end, a batch of food was taken out temporarily, and Huang Butou led people to escort it to the victims, and this matter was considered a temporary solution.

After settling this matter, it was dark outside, Qingluo stood up with a sore back, and saw Feng Jia walking in with a bitter face, and said, "My lord, someone from outside is here to see you..."

Qing Luo thought it was Mr. Liu and Uncle Liu again, she was already dizzy and had leg cramps, and she was a little unhappy when she heard the words: "I said no, why haven't you chased them away yet?"

"Oh, the county magistrate has such great authority!"

A familiar, mocking voice sounded from outside.
