Nangong Yuanyi said in a deep voice: "In this case, Mr. Tu will let County Magistrate Fang go to prove Master Tu's innocence. I believe that these people will not make trouble again when they see that Magistrate Fang is safe and sound. Besides, King Chu and King Nan They will definitely find out everything, and Governor Tu did not make a big mistake. I believe they will not blame you. After all, Master Tu is still the Governor of Zhangzhou, so they still have to give you this face."
Tu Kui's purpose of retaining Fang Tong was to make him the scapegoat for the grain robbery incident and the theft of the Yamen granary. If he were to let him go now, wouldn't it mean that his original plan had failed.
Tu Kui shook his head and murmured: "No, Fang Tong can't let go. He opened a warehouse to release grain without the approval of his official, which made the bandits know that all the yamen in Zhangzhou had grain, and only Shan'an County's grain was not stolen. , this is the best evidence..."
"It's a big mistake that Lord Tu is still thinking about this idea." Nangong Yuanyi said in surprise: "If you take the initiative to go to the imperial envoy and say that Fang Tong opened the warehouse to release grain to save the people, the imperial envoy will know everything. Not only is Tong not guilty, but he may also be rewarded, and then the prefect will lose more than he gains."
"The only plan for now is to not only let Fang Tong go, but also to blame others for the theft of Zhangzhou's official grain, so as to clear away the suspicion." Nangong Yuanyi said: "As for the people outside the city, they They probably knew that there was food in the city, so they all crowded into Zhangzhou City. All they want is food."
Taishou Tu muttered: "Put it on someone else?" Who could he blame? He had sent people to steal the official rations, and the money had already gone into his pocket.
Wu Liang said: "Xiaoguan also thinks that Fang Tong should be let go first. As for who to blame, Xiaguan feels that whoever has food in Zhangzhou City will steal it. Zhu Gui has been selling food at high prices. Now the disaster relief food in Kyoto has been shipped." Here, Zhugui’s grain can no longer be sold.”
At this time, Nangong Yuanyi glanced at Wu Liang and said harshly: "My lord, I firmly believe that Zhu Gui asked someone to steal the official grain, and your lord has also made an explanation to the people."
"My lord, please think clearly. When the imperial envoy enters the city and sees the people blocking the entrance to the government office, then the King of Chu and King Nan will listen to the people's words, and your lord will not be able to bear the burden and walk away." Nangong Yuanyi said again.
Tu Kui felt exhausted, and now he began to regret that he really shouldn't have transported this batch of grain to the government warehouse.
Tu Kui said to the officers and soldiers: "Come here."
Here, Tu Feng was also confused by these people. If it weren't for the fact that it was broad daylight and there were more and more people, he would have killed these people who incited the people to cause trouble.
Tu Feng heard Tu Kui calling for someone, and he also came in: "What are your orders, sir?"
"Go and bring Fang Tong. Remember to take off his shackles and change his clothes." Tu Kui planned to let Fang Tong go, but Fang Shan had falsely accused him.
"Why should Fang Tong be let go? It's because he didn't obey the orders of the adults and secretly opened a warehouse to store grain..." Tu Feng was very puzzled.
"Go quickly..." Tu Kui said angrily: "There are people outside who are complaining for Fang Tong. Now the imperial envoys from Kyoto have arrived in Zhangzhou. They will disperse when they see Fang Tong."
"But they said that there is food in the yamen, and they have to ask the adults to distribute the food, otherwise they will not leave." Tu Feng said angrily, "Even Yang Bing followed suit and had to ask the government to distribute food to the people..."
Tu Kui asked: "Master Yuan, what do you think you should do with this batch of grain?"
"Since the disaster relief grain from the imperial court has arrived, I will order people to transport the grain away to Yuzhou. Anyway, it can't be sold at a good price in Zhangzhou." Nangong Yuanyi's eyes were full of helplessness: "I didn't expect this first time. This is what happened when we cooperated with Tu Taishou.”
