The best ring

"Say it." Wu Fan sat at the top of the county office and looked at Ji Hao below and said calmly.

There was no county magistrate in Qingyuan County for the time being, so the county government Wu Fan requisitioned it.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand, Wu Fan, you'd better let me go, otherwise, my grandpa won't let you go." Ji Hao threatened Wu Fan, enduring the pain in his butt.

"Are you stupid?" Wu Fan looked at Ji Hao like he was looking at a fool and said, "I just arrested you in front of your father and your grandfather. If I was afraid of your grandfather's revenge, I just arrested you." Why arrest you in front of him?"

"You... don't be proud, you are just a little viscount. My grandfather treats you like a joke." Ji Hao said.

"It seems that you haven't realized the seriousness of what you have done." Wu Fan said lightly: "Don't say that your grandfather is old. Even if he is still a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, based on what you have done, he I can’t protect you!”

"Wu Fan, don't try to scare me. My grandfather was a teacher for the third prince. His connections and influence are beyond your imagination," Ji Hao said.

"You are indeed a fool." Wu Fan said calmly: "Whether your grandfather can save you, let's not talk about it for now, but if you don't tell the truth about the whereabouts of the official rations, you may get slapped on the butt again. "

"You dare!" Ji Hao subconsciously covered his butt.

"It's not like I haven't beaten you before. Do you think I wouldn't dare?" Wu Fan said lightly.

"If you dare to hit me again, I will let my grandfather kill you!" Ji Hao threatened.

Wu Fan shook his head slightly. He was too lazy to talk nonsense to this stupid guy and said directly: "Hit me until he says so."

Although Wu Fan didn't like this method of torture very much, for people like Ji Hao who wouldn't shed tears without seeing the coffin, this was the simplest and most effective method.

"Wu Fan, you..." Ji Hao wanted to say something more, but was pushed to the ground by two guards who came next to him. Then, the board greeted Ji Hao unceremoniously. .

"Oh, it hurts me so much...Wu...Wu Fan, you abused lynching...you will not die well!" Ji Hao cursed Wu Fan while being beaten.

Wu Fan just watched with cold eyes. Although he had not been in contact with Ji Hao for a long time, he never believed that this man was a tough guy.

Sure enough, after only a dozen blows, Ji Hao could no longer hold on. The words he spoke were no longer cursing Wu Fan, but begging for mercy.

"I said... I said everything... Please don't hit me anymore, it hurts so much, oooo..." As he said this, Ji Hao, a grown man like him, actually Cried out.

Wu Fan was quite speechless when he saw this, but after thinking about what he saw at Ji's house before, his parents' excessive love, or in other words, doting on him, Wu Fan could understand it.

"Tell me everything. If you don't hide anything, just wait and get beaten again." Wu Fan said calmly.

"I don't dare, I don't dare anymore." Ji Hao cried.

Afterwards, the guards stopped, and Ji Hao sobbed as he told Wu Fan about stealing and selling official food. Although he had already guessed that this incident was related to Ji Hao, after hearing Ji Hao's description, Wu Fan's heart Anger still couldn't help but surge up like crazy.

This bastard!

Wu Fan didn't know how many times he scolded Ji Hao in his heart.

This guy's position was obtained through connections in his family. Although the Ji family looked down on soldiers, taking care of official food was an easy and lucrative job, especially in the current environment.

Ji Hao did not waste this opportunity. After taking that position, he quickly took advantage of the convenience of his position and identity background to start stealing and selling food. At the beginning, he only stole a little bit, and still, Old grain from previous years and some pocket money.

Later, his appetite grew bigger and bigger, coupled with the fact that he had not been exposed for stealing many times before. Maybe someone noticed it, but chose to turn a blind eye because of his identity and background, which made him bolder.

In addition, the world outside is becoming more and more chaotic, and food is becoming more and more valuable. Ji Hao's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, and more and more food is being stolen and sold.

Of course, one person is indispensable here, and that is Ji Hao's father, Ji Guang.

Without Ji Guang's presence and help, and with Ji Hao's ability and connections, it would have been impossible to steal and sell so much grain without causing too much trouble. It can be said that the father and son were the masterminds behind the theft and sale of official grain.

"Go to Ji Mansion and capture Ji Guang!" After listening to Ji Hao's story, Wu Fan ordered Sun Liang.

"Yes, sir."

Sun Liang took the order and left, and soon came back with the people, but Ji Guang did not bring them back.

"Where are the people?" Wu Fan asked.

"Sir, when we arrived at Ji's Mansion, Ji Guang was not there. Mr. Ji said that Ji Guang had gone away to visit a friend. As for where his friend's home was or when Ji Guang would return, he had no idea." Sun Liang replied.

"Hmph, he runs pretty fast." Wu Fan sneered, glanced at Ji Hao lying on the ground and said, "Lock him up first. No one is allowed to take him away without my order."

"Yes, sir."

Wu Fan really wanted to kill Ji Hao immediately. There were so many refugees outside the city waiting for food relief. In the end, this fool actually stole two-thirds of the official food and sold it. This made the food resources that seemed abundant suddenly become a little... We are stretched thin, and we don’t know how many refugees outside the city have starved to death because of this idiot’s behavior.

However, Ji Hao's identity is not ordinary after all, and Wu Fan does not have the right to sentence him to death. Even if he is the county magistrate of Qingyuan County, he needs the consent of the old emperor. In the whole Yanfeng Kingdom, only the old emperor is qualified to sentence people to death. Even if the local government and the Ministry of Justice sentence criminals to death, they must finally get the nod of the old emperor.

Therefore, Wu Fan can only detain Ji Hao first, then report the matter to the old emperor, and wait for the old emperor's order.

"If the old emperor is really confused, or is influenced by Ji Pei, then I have to use some other means." Wu Fan thought to himself as he watched Ji Hao being taken away.

When he learned about what Ji Hao had done, Wu Fan had already sentenced Ji Hao to death in his heart. If there was no way to execute Ji Hao openly, Wu Fan would not mind using some shady means. There are many ways to kill people, and Wu Fan is not a person who sticks to the rules.

After Ji Hao was taken away and detained, Wu Fan led his men to the outside of the city to check on the situation in the refugee camp. Most of the food in the government warehouse was gone, and now they could only hope that the wealthy families in the city would spend more money to temporarily stabilize the situation.
