Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 399
"The county lord will open the granary to release grain tomorrow, I'm afraid Mei Zhusheng and Wang Tong will not agree?" Fan Jin stroked his beard and frowned authentically.

Xie Yaohuan nodded in response, "Mei Zhusheng has the approval of the prefect of Caozhou, so I'm afraid he will be hindered everywhere."

Fang Yiai looked at the two of them, with a hint of slyness on the corner of her mouth, and she murmured with a complicated look in her eyes: "I'm afraid that the two of them will agree!"

After finishing speaking, Fang Yiai stretched her waist, and said to Fan Jin: "Master Fan, you should go and inform Zaoli and the police first, the salary will be paid as usual, and you can make up your mind about the rest."

After Fan Jin left, Xie Yaohuan sat in front of the tea table, looked at Fang Yiai with her hands on her cheeks, and frowned and said: "Fang Jun, I can't see through you anymore."

"Isn't all of this due to the noble chap? What's the matter? The student took good care of the noble chap today to repay the gratitude?" Fang Yiai pointed to the bedroom with a smirk, and took small steps to hide in without waiting for Xie Yaohuan's response. Went to the study to catch up on sleep.

Seeing the wooden door of the study closed by Fang Yiai, Xie Yaohuan bit her red lips lightly, and said with joy and anger, "What an enemy, getting more and more frivolous!"

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Fang Yiai washed and dressed, and as soon as she entered the court, she saw Meidong Wuhu and others gathered at the gate of the yamen.

A group of slaves and police officers were naturally unwilling to reconcile when they learned that they had been dismissed and lost their titles and iron jobs, so they came to find Fang Yiai Theory under Wang Tong's instigation, and wanted to put on the prestige again. Eight sides of soap clothes.

Sitting in the courtroom, looking at the new arresters, slaves, and the two honest slaves who had never been fired, Fang Yiai raised her mouth slightly, and said to Fan Jin who was standing beside her, "Don't say anything, These guys are very energetic."

Being praised by Fang Yiai for his ability in handling affairs, Fan Jin nodded with a smile. These newly recruited police officers were all from his hometown. He had received Fang Yiai's kindness before and knew the background of his boss. There is no reason why scholars don't work hard. The policemen they recruited are all honest and strong men from all over the world.

Seeing Meidong Wuhu and others standing at the gate of the yamen without knowing it, Fang Yiai slapped the gavel and said coldly: "Come on! Get these unscrupulous people who gather to make troubles out of the county yamen!"

As soon as this remark came out, a group of new messengers picked up water and fire sticks and put them on the five tigers in Meidong, sticking to the flesh. On the one hand, they wanted to express themselves in front of Fang Yiai, and on the other hand, Vent the grievances you have suffered over the years.

After a violent beating, the Meidong Five Tigers ran away with their heads in their hands, and the Meiwu County Government regained its calm.

Seeing that it was late, Fang Yiai stood up and straightened her voice and said, "Today, the county releases grain to help the common people. Everyone goes to the inner office to get carts and measure buckets. Follow Master Fan to the granary to prepare for opening!"

After finishing speaking, Fang Yiai gave Fan Jin a wink, and said in a low voice: "I will take the sedan chair of this county out of the inner office later, and drive all the way to the granary. Don't let Wang Tong and Mei Zhusheng find out that the county is not in the sedan chair!"

Fan Jin nodded half-knowingly, seeing Fang Yiai's order, he didn't bother to ask, and led the newly hired messengers to rush all the way, and went aggressively to the inner office to pick up the sedan chair and the measuring bucket.

After everyone left, Fang Yi'ai tiptoed into the main hall of the inner yamen, lay down in front of the window of the bedroom and watched carefully, until Fan Jin and others walked out of the inner yamen, and then slowly sat down at the tea table.

The yamen is only on duty at five o'clock, so Qin Jingniang and Xie Yaohuan, who don't have to get up early, haven't gotten up until now because they discussed the glorious deeds of Fang Su's last love last night. They just woke up when they heard the noise of people outside the house However, seeing Fang Yiai standing in the bedroom, Xie Yaohuan's innocence prevented her from opening the curtain for a long time.

Fang Yiai knew that Xie Yaohuan had woken up, so she purposely leaned in front of the tent, and said in a low voice, "Yaohuan, is the couch in this county still soft?"

"Shameless!" As Xie Yaohuan's shy and irritable spit sounded from the tent, Qin Jingniang's laughter, like a silver bell, echoed in Fang Yiai's ears.

Seeing through the thin tent, Fang Yiai swallowed and thought to himself, "If it wasn't for the fact that the county still has important matters today, I would have to ask you two to beg for mercy! Forget it, good meal Don't be afraid of being late!"

After a long while, Fang Yiai, who was sitting at the table with her eyes closed and meditating, slowly opened her eyes following the almost silent sound of the door closing and locking.

"The old fox is gone?" Fang Yiai went to the window and saw Mei Zhusheng hurrying out of the inner office, she couldn't help chuckling, "You go to the granary to prevent the release of grain, and the county will raid your lair!"

Fang Yiai walked out of the bedroom quickly, and after confirming that there was no possibility of Mei Zhusheng returning, she stood in front of the old fox's bedroom.

"Wow, this brass lock is really not small!" Fang Yiai was really lucky, and scrapped the brass lock that Mei Zhusheng specially hired someone to make with just one pull.

Throwing the copper lock aside casually, Fang Yiai once again acted like a "gentleman on the beam" that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Walking into Mei Zhusheng's bedroom, after closing the door upside down, two bookshelves that were almost at the same level as the roof came into Fang Yiai's eyes.

"There are quite a lot of books, but where are the black accounts?" After hearing from Fan Jin and Xie Yaohuan yesterday that the Qiangu ledgers in the past few years were flawless, Fang Yiai immediately decided that the ledgers in the study room were just the appearance of Mei Zhusheng. Kung fu, the real ledger must have been hidden somewhere, that's why this old fox, Mei Zhusheng, was lured out of the inner office in the name of opening a warehouse to release grain, and gave him a "package meeting"!
I messed around in front of the bookshelf for a while, but Fang Yiai couldn't find any trace of black books. In the end, Fang Yiai knocked on the wall bricks one by one, but didn't find any hidden doors in dark rooms that are often seen in dramas. organ.

After a search, Mei Zhusheng's residence was in a mess, and Fang Yiai, who had important things in mind, didn't have the heart to tidy it up for him. In desperation, she had to walk out of the bedroom quickly, and was going to ask Xie Yaohuan and Qin Jingniang to help find it. After all, this golden opportunity will come soon. If you can't grasp Mei Zhusheng's handle, I'm afraid this old fox will have a long memory next time.

Just as Fang Yiai walked to the entrance of the main hall and was about to enter, she saw Baduan walking out of the side room with her head poking around.

"Grandpa is looking for the silver hidden by Master Mei?" Ba Duan's innocent words immediately caught Fang Yiai's attention.

"Mei Zhusheng hid silver? Baduan has seen that old fox hide things?" Fang Yiai asked hopefully.

Ba Duan nodded, pointed to the fish pond in the courtyard and said: "One night last year, I saw Mr. Mei squatting in front of the fish pond and fumbled, and then he found out a thin hemp rope with a cowhide cloth bag tied on it. , there is also an oiled paper bag inside, anyway, the one on the left and the one on the right must be silver! If the former grandpa taught Baduan to be honest, Baduan couldn't help but steal the silver to buy sweet dates. "

Fang Yiai searched to no avail, but at the end she was suddenly enlightened by what Baduan said, looking at the naive Baduan, Fang Yiai smiled loudly, stretched out her hand to touch the top of his head, and said: "Good Baduan, the former magistrate is here. Heaven has spirit, I will be gratified for you! Grandpa will ask someone to buy you a basket of sweet dates later, no, buy ten baskets!"

"Grandpa, eating ten baskets of sweet dates will cause stomach trouble," Ba Duan said with a worried smile.

Fang Yiai chuckled, pointed at the fish pond and said, "Baduan, do you still remember where the hemp rope is? Quickly point it out and show it to Grandpa."

Baduan and Fang Yiai walked to the fish pond, and dipped their hands into the emerald green water for a while, and he really found a brand new curse.

Stretching out her hand to catch the scolding, Fang Yiai was overjoyed, "There is no green algae in the water of the hemp rope, it seems that it is newly replaced!"

Gradually gathering the hemp rope, a cowhide bag was pulled out of the water.

Seeing that the leather bag was in the shape of a book, Fang Yiai laughed loudly, "It really is a ledger!"

Stretching out her hand to stop the scolding, Fang Yiai told Baduan not to preach, then trotted all the way back to the main hall with her wet leather bag.

After closing the door of the main hall, Fang Yiai quickly walked into the bedroom, and after calling Xie Yaohuan and Qin Jingniang, the three of them opened the cowhide bag together, and sure enough, they saw the oiled paper bag that Baduan said.

After opening two layers of oiled paper bags one after another, two somewhat yellowed books and five or six letters came into the eyes of the three of them.

Fang Yiai unfolded an unnamed book, and the small characters he saw almost made him laugh out loud, "In the spring and March of the fourth year of Zhenguan, we will deliver 6000 stones of grain and [-] pieces of brocade to merchants in Huguang, and the cash receipt will be [-] taels."

Looking at every transaction record on the ledger, Fang Yiai smiled, her face suddenly turned cold, and she gritted her teeth and muttered angrily, "It's no wonder that the previous two county magistrates suffered tragic accidents, but it turns out that Meiwu County was used by you as a place to collect money." The cornucopia! Every word and every line is the people's fat and people's anointing of the people under my command!"
