Suddenly, everyone was whispering to each other: "The food was stolen by bandits? Is it true or false?"
"Prefect Tu, you said that the grain was stolen. Why did Magistrate Fang of Shan'an County open a warehouse to release grain? The people of Shan'an County also received relief grain. We suspect that the grain was not stolen by bandits at all, but by someone else. Lining their own pockets.”
At this time, Tu Taishou finally saw that the person speaking was a middle-aged man. Immediately, he glanced at Tu Feng, and a knife was placed on the neck of the man in green.
Everyone was so frightened that they quickly backed away.
The middle-aged man in green clothes still showed no fear, "Master Tu, what do you mean? The common people just told the truth. Why did the magistrate of Shan'an County distribute food to the people, but Tu Tu said that the food was stolen? Isn't this strange? "
"Prefect Tu, back then Magistrate Fang of Shan'an County opened a granary to store grain and did good deeds, but you arrested him. Is there any ulterior secret in this?"
"He violated the national law and misappropriated military rations. He should be executed according to the law." Tu Kui did not expect that these people would mention this matter at this moment. At this time, his anger was aroused almost instantly.
"Magistrate Fang opened a granary to store grain and saved the people, but you want to kill him. Tu Taishou is the parent official of Zhangzhou. Not only does he not care about the life and death of the people, but he also takes the salary from the court. He can't even keep the people's life-saving food. In the end, he just said The food was stolen to frustrate us people, how can Master Tu convince the public with his statement?"
"We are not convinced. Magistrate Fang is not wrong. You must give us an explanation today, Prefect Tu, as to where the food went."
"We were dissatisfied and let County Magistrate Fang go..."
“Magistrate Fang is a good official.”…
Suddenly, the voices of the people were louder than before.
The man in green has a heroic spirit between his brows, giving people a feeling of calmness and peace of mind.
Tu Kui said anxiously: "Bold, do you want to rebel?"
The man in green said again: "Let Magistrate Fang go, otherwise we will all go to Beijing to complain."
"Yes, let's file a complaint..." Because many people were dissatisfied on behalf of County Magistrate Fang, but no one took the lead, so they did not dare to speak out.
Now the people's resentment was aroused, and they all said they would go to Beijing to complain.
Even the officers and soldiers holding broadswords had some moves to impress the people. They ate military rations, but their relatives were also ordinary people in Zhangzhou.
At this time, a young man in official uniform came out, knocked off the knife that Tu Feng had held on the man in green, and said sternly: "The lower official also felt that there was something fishy about the original grain theft case. Overnight, the government It is almost impossible that all the grain was stolen, unless there were spies in the yamen. Magistrate Fang opened the granary to save the people. The subordinate also believed that he was not wrong. If the lord had ordered other granaries to be opened, this batch of grain would have been lost. Not only can it save the people of Zhangzhou, but it will also prevent the occurrence of food grabbing incidents caused by the lack of food in Zhangzhou later."
Tu Feng's knife was opened and he said angrily: "Yang Bing, what do you want to do?"
Yang Bing usually didn't see Tu Feng, thinking that he was Tu Feng's lackey, "Tu Feng, you drew your sword and put it on the people's necks, do you want to kill people and silence them? Swords have no eyes, they are just ordinary people."
"You..." Tu Feng said angrily. He wanted to take action, but he couldn't beat Yang Bing.
Tu Kui also narrowed his eyes slightly, and a small deputy prison officer dared to take the lead in stirring up trouble: "Yang Bing, why don't you quickly bring someone to maintain order at the scene and arrest the person who is leading the trouble."
