After Yu Zhi gave Zhang Zhongmin a few more explanations, Yu Zhi led Zu Anbang out of the county governor's mansion.
Zu Anbang was still confused and walked for a long time before he came back to his senses.
"Master Yu, where are we going?"
Yu Zhi smiled mysteriously and said, "Look for the money."
"Where can I find money?" Zu Anbang was puzzled. He thought he understood Yu Zhi's behavior and became confused again.
Yu Zhi handed over 30,000 taels of silver and the burden of settling the people to Zhang Zhongmin. This behavior had a profound meaning.
Zu Anbang couldn't help but feel a cold war all over.
Behind the seemingly amassing money, the real purpose is to beat Sioux City County officials. Regardless of whether it is a county magistrate or a county guard, who can get this money with the salary of the court unless they have a deep family background?
But Zu Anbang, who didn't know it, jumped directly into the pit set by Yu Zhi.
Nowadays, honest and upright officials like Zhang Zhongmin have been reused by Yu Zhi.
And Zu Anbang was thinking about how he should deal with himself.
After serving as an official for many years, he actually fell into trouble with this young man. He really shouldn't have.
Zu Anbang once thought that the "gift" Yu Zhi wanted was pure silver. Who would have thought that the money this young man wanted was to settle the people.
Greedy for money?
That's not the case, Yu Zhi is by no means a money-grubbing person... Zu Anbang has a new understanding of Yu Zhi, but he can't see Yu Zhi's true face more and more clearly.
Zu Anbang has seen many old foxes in the officialdom, and he often faces them with ease. But he felt a little powerless to deal with the young inspector censor.
Zu Anbang could never imagine what Yu Zhi would do next or what the purpose behind it was.
It was like he didn't know where Yu Zhi was taking him.
The two walked all the way to the door of Su's mansion.
Zu Anbang asked: "Sir, are you looking for money in Su Mansion?"
Yu Zhi raised his head and looked at the plaque on the Su Mansion, nodded his head and said, "The Su family is the richest in Su City County. Who should I look for if I don't look for him?"
"But this..." Zu Anbang was confused.
Yu Zhi waved his hand and asked: "Master Zu, do you think these 30,000 taels of silver are enough to resettle the people who are suffering in Sucheng County?"
Zu Anbang thought for a while and said, "Of course it's not enough. The official calculated it once and found that at least thirty thousand taels of silver are needed."
Yu Zhi sighed and said: "Yes, we still need thirty thousand taels of silver. Your government office has no money, what should you do? Just leave the people alone?"
"This..." How dare Zu Anbang say that he should ignore the people. "Of course this is not possible."
"It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice." Yu Zhi sighed and said, "I also understand Master Zu's difficulties. No, am I not solving problems for Master Zu now?"
Zu Anbang never expected that Yu Zhi would target the Su family. He also raised his head and glanced at the plaque of Su Mansion, and a familiar uneasy premonition arose in his heart.
"Master Ancestor, what would Your Majesty think if he knew that these thousands of people have nowhere to settle and can only live in the mountains and wilderness?"
Yu Zhi asked lightly, and suddenly the smile on Zu Anbang's face disappeared, and his heart became even more panicked.
Zu Anbang has just taken up the post of Su Cheng County Sheriff. If he is dismissed from office because of this matter, promotion in his life will become a luxury.
Suddenly, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Zu Anbang's heart. Yu Zhi hasn't taken action on him yet because Yu Zhi hasn't found any evidence of his crime.
If it is found, it will be a dead end.
The next moment, Yu Zhi seemed to be aware of Zu Anbang's thoughts, and said in an extremely cold voice: "Master Zu, do you know how You Yuanju's three hundred personal guards died?"
Zu Anbang's heart felt cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He felt guilty, as if all his thoughts were being seen through.
Yu Zhi did not continue, but said: "As the richest person in the Su family, we should also do something for the people here. Mr. Zu, you are the parent official of Su City, and the next thing will be left to you."
Yu Zhi's confusing words put Zu Anbang in a dilemma.
Zu Anbang had never made such a plan before. He said: "Master Yu, you... I... Su Rongxing of the Su family is the governor of Lin'an County, and I am an old acquaintance with him. I... .....”
"Oh, it turns out that someone from the Su family is also an official. In this case, the Su family should set an example and save the people from the fire." Yu Zhi said confidently.
Soon, the two of them were welcomed into the Su Mansion.
In addition to the old man in the Su family, Su Rongsheng and his son, Su Ling, and Su Muci, who had just returned to the Su Mansion, were also there.
Although Su Rongsheng's lineage is weak, as the elder, Su Rongsheng also sits on the main seat.
Su Sui sat aside and felt very embarrassed. He used to be the governor of Sucheng County, but now he has no official position and has lost his previous glory.
Su Muchi glanced at Yu Zhi secretly. Their eyes met and then separated quickly.
Only Su Ling, looking at Zu Anbang sitting on the main seat, was puzzled and didn't understand why Zu Anbang came to Su Mansion.
Su Rongsheng said: "What is the purpose of your visit, Lord Sheriff?"
Zu Anbang glanced at Yu Zhi who was standing aside. Yu Zhi never revealed his identity and was only regarded as Zu Anbang's follower.
"I...I came here to ask the Su family for help." Zu Anbang said, "The banditry has subsided, but the displaced people have not yet been resettled. Therefore, I hope that the Su family can contribute some money to resettle These people."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ling immediately looked at Yu Zhi, and then quickly looked away.
The Zu Anbang that Su Ling knew was definitely not someone who cared so much about the people. He must have been forced to come here this time. And Yu Zhi... Even if Su Rongsheng and his son didn't know him, Su Ling had seen Yu Zhi when he entered the city.
Su Rongsheng glanced at Su Ling and said with a smile: "When the Sheriff opens his mouth, our Su family cannot refute the Sheriff's face."
In the past, it was not uncommon for the government to raise money from merchants. The government often places a notice, and each merchant will donate some in cooperation.
But there are still very few people like Zu Anbang who come here.
"One thousand taels." Su Rongsheng said, "Our Su family is willing to give one thousand taels of silver to help the county governor resettle the people of Su City."
Zu Anbang glanced at Yu Zhi secretly, and saw the corners of Yu Zhi's mouth curled up slightly. He knew that Yu Zhi would definitely be dissatisfied.
Zu Anbang coughed twice like a puppet. "The Su family has a great business and a thousand taels of silver...do you really think that I am here to beg for food?"
Seeing that Zu Anbang was angry, Su Rongsheng looked at Su Ling. He was weak by nature, so he couldn't win the second wife. He only relied on his status as the eldest son of the Su family to dominate Su City.
At this time, Su Sui said: "Your Excellency, this thousand taels of silver did not fall out of thin air. Fundraising is voluntary. Even the Sheriff cannot force others to do anything."
Su Sui was upset because he had lost his official position. In his heart, he felt that Zu Anbang had robbed him of his official position.
Su Sui was angry when he saw Zu Anbang, and his face naturally turned ugly.
Zu Anbang had never seen such a scene before, and sneered: "Okay, Su Rongsheng, Su Sui, you two, father and son, are really good."
Su Sui is even more like a playboy, and now he has found an opportunity to humiliate Zu Anbang.
Seeing this, Yu Zhi walked aside, sat down peacefully, and said slowly: "Master Zu, it seems that your face is only worth a thousand taels of silver."
Seeing Yu Zhi's leisurely posture, Su Sui glanced at him, looking rather domineering.
"Who are you? Is this where you can sit if you want to in the Su Mansion?"
Su Ling was surprised and sneered in his heart. Su Sui, this idiot, really doesn't know the heights of the world.
Zu Anbang is also happy to watch the good show in front of him. It doesn't matter if he offends Zu Anbang. For a while, Zu Anbang really couldn't do anything to the Su family.
But what about Yu Zhi?
This is the living king of hell!
Yu Zhi glanced at Su Sui, the previous county governor of Su City.
"A dandy like you can become the governor of Sucheng County. It seems that Nanzhou Prefecture is really in chaos. In a few days, I would like to go to Jiangnan City to see how the Nanzhou Prefecture is doing. Nanzhou Prefecture Under state rule, anyone can be an official?"
Listening to Yu Zhi's words, Su Sui's words came to her lips, but she swallowed them back immediately.
Although Su Sui thinks highly of himself, he is not stupid. From Yu Zhi's words, Su Sui could already guess Yu Zhi's identity.
The same was true for Su Rongsheng. He stood up hurriedly and asked respectfully: "May I ask, Mr. Yu, the Supervising Censor?"
At such an age and with an unfamiliar face, could he really be the censor? ... Su Sui was nine points confirmed in her heart and quickly stood up. He could ignore Zu Anbang, but if he didn't regard Yu Zhi, it would be tantamount to seeking death.
Several sensational events that Yu Zhi did in Sucheng County are enough to illustrate Yu Zhi's temperament. If we talk about being domineering, who can compare to Yu Zhi who holds Shang Fang's sword in his hand.
Yu Zhi snorted coldly, his eyebrows extremely cold.
Su Muchi secretly smiled in her heart, looking at the frightened Su Rongsheng and his son, and then at the pretentious Yu Zhi, thinking: This guy just bullies the timid. Why not scare Lidya Su?
Su Ling's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Yu Zhi, making it difficult to see the emotions in his heart. Compared to the panic of Su Rongsheng and his son, Su Ling had a calm and unhurried demeanor.
No wonder the eldest family member of the Su family can't compete with the second family member. This gesture alone is enough to tell the difference... Yu Zhi glanced at Su Muci secretly and wondered whether this Su Muci was born by an outsider and looked nothing like Su Rongsheng. So stupid.
Su Rongsheng never expected that the inspector censor would pretend to be a boy next to Zu Anbang.
One thousand taels is really little. Even considering the face of the inspector censor, it shouldn't be so little.
The Su family contributes tens of thousands of dollars to the government every year, so their business is prosperous.
One thousand taels is nothing!
Yu Zhi didn't care about Su Rongsheng and his son. He looked at Su Ling aside and said, "The Su family's eldest house plans to pay a thousand taels of silver. What about the Su family's second house? What should I say?"
In the eyes of outsiders, the Su family is just one family.
Yu Zhi deliberately divided the Su family into one big room and two rooms, naturally to see Su Ling's attitude.
Su Ling thought for a while and said: "On behalf of the second room of the Su family, Su Ling is willing to fully cooperate with Master Yu and Master Zu to resettle the people. All money expenditures here will be borne by me, Su Ling."
Yu Zhi stared at Su Ling, the corners of his mouth curled up.
He never thought that Su Ling would be so generous and take over the burden of settling the people.
Su Ling...the pattern is huge.
