"Good fellow, there is such an arrogant county captain?!"
Yu Lu and Fang Xi were shocked when they heard this.
Scholars are also people with a good reputation, and are real scholars. To put it bluntly, who has no tutors and teachers (county school or government school), who has no relatives and friends, and whose circle has not passed the imperial examination or even Jinshi?
Basically, as long as they don't seek death themselves, few county officials will humiliate a scholar.
No more fame?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Shang Xiucai, who was sitting across from him, throw away his kuaizi and stand up immediately. His eyes were not big at first, but now they were as red as a bull's eye.
But Yu Lu and Fang Xi didn't think his reaction was too much. After all, anyone who heard someone insulting themselves, their wives and daughters would be filled with grief and anger.
"Brother Shang, don't be afraid!"
Compared to Yu Lu, Fang Xi was more emotional. After hearing this, he was filled with indignation: "The imperial court has its own laws. You have merit and fame. Even if you have a past, you cannot be humiliated like this. If this person really behaves like this, Supervisory History will not ignore it! "
The supervisory history is a local supervisory officer with a low official position, generally no more than the eighth rank, not as good as the "seventh rank county magistrate". However, they hold the sharp sword of supervision and impeachment, so high-ranking officials are afraid of them.
Shang Xiucai, who was comforted by him in this way, clenched his fists, blood rushed to his face, flushed red, and even burst his veins. He gasped for a few times, and suddenly roared: "Chen Da, you bullied me too much!"
Then with a "pop", he slapped the table with his hand so hard that the cups jumped up. Shang Xiucai didn't even look at it. He just stared at the two people in front of him and said word by word: "You two Dear brother, I don’t know who you are, but I know why you are friends with me, and I am willing to cooperate with you to tell everything and bring down this evil official!"
"County Lieutenant Chen Da is the one who stole the grain and sold it!"
Finally found out who it was!
Fang Xi and Yu Lu looked at each other. Yu Lu patted Shang Xiucai on the shoulder and made a serious promise: "Don't worry, the court will not unjustly accuse a good person, let alone let go of a dirty official!"
Jielufu
Although it was morning, the sky was dark. This official road was close to the canal, but there were willow shades on both sides. Many vehicles were pushing or driving, and there were a lot of people.
There was a donkey cart, with the donkey pulling in front and the grandfather and grandson pushing behind. It was carrying newly harvested watermelons. After only a short distance, someone shouted: "Quick, get out of the way, the officers and soldiers are coming." ”
The grandfather and grandson quickly got out of the way, and sure enough, after a while, there were more than a dozen riders in front, surrounded by a group of soldiers, and behind, the sound of footsteps cascading up, the infantry tightened their headbands, and each bright red long tassel was on the There was a flickering light on the road.
Passers-by were going out, and many of them encountered this scene. Their expressions changed greatly, and they retreated to the side of the road to make way for this group of people.
"What's going on? What are they doing? Is there another big incident?" Someone couldn't help but mutter.
The companions were also surprised. Although their place was considered a city, there had never been any major incidents in the past. They had not encountered major incidents like the dispatch of armored soldiers for a long time.
Even in the past year, there have been some mysterious things happening in various places, but there has never been such an outcry. After all, compared to the frontier, this is Zhili, and the situation is much better.
"Come on, please speed up and try to get to the station as early as possible!" Putting aside these passers-by, the leader of the armored soldiers on horseback was Zhang Dai, the deputy imperial envoy.
Also following in the team were Magistrate Xu and fellow magistrate Sun Dewen. Obviously, Zhang Dai was the imperial envoy. Magistrate Xu took a few steps back with a smile, but fellow magistrate Sun Dewen was not so well-mannered and followed silently, his face a bit gloomy.
Behind them, the accompanying officials from the county all winked, looked around, and discussed in secret.
"The deputy imperial envoy is not the main imperial envoy. Ten or twenty people are enough to follow him. Is it necessary to use the imperial envoy's seal to dispatch armored soldiers?"
"You also asked me to wait and follow."
"What a pomp!"
"snort!"
Zhang Dai had already been holding his breath and wanted to get rid of the corruption bugs immediately. At this moment, he glanced behind him but did not speak.
"When I get the evidence, I'll deal with you again!"
Zhang Dai directly led his people to the granary and dispatched soldiers with imperial envoys. He never thought about what would happen if there was nothing wrong after the inspection. He was already confident.
Because there is already an "informant" who has given a lot of information, maybe he knows more than Taisun.
"Sir, have you heard that Yu Lufangxi went to pay a private visit to these two people incognito?" Someone followed Zhang Dai on horseback and suddenly mentioned these two people on the way.
"Really?" Zhang Dai didn't have a good impression of these two people. He heard that these two people were Taisun's former classmates?
He didn't know why the emperor asked these two new scholars to follow him in this big event. In his opinion, it must be because of the relationship between these two people and the grandson. The emperor did it because of the grandson's face. These two have a chance.
What is this called?
This is called the back door! This is called nepotism!
Zhang Dai always looked down upon officials who used backdoor methods like this. Two new scholars, who had never worked anywhere else, were actually assigned such an important task. What did the emperor think?
If Zhang Dai hadn't still had some loyalty to the emperor and knew not to slander the emperor, he would have been talking about it in his heart.
Not to mention, these two people actually copied the stories from the storybook and conducted private interviews incognito?
Zhang Dai didn't even bother to pay attention to such a person and sneered directly: "It's just nonsense!"
Just leave it alone.
"The emperor's intentions are hard to guess, and the informant's information is too detailed, which is really strange."
"But why should I, Zhang Dai, care about this?"
"All I know is that the granary is running low and has been corrupted by these city foxes and rats. I, Zhang Dai, don't have much time left. I just want to be the last police cat for the court. I can only catch as many mice as I can."
"No matter how much, does it mean anything to me?"
Zhang Dai actually vaguely felt the turmoil between the emperor and the grandson, but he didn't care.
He has been an upright official all his life and has two sons and three daughters.
The three daughters were married and they had two sons. The eldest son was smart and passed the examination as a scholar at the age of 19. Unfortunately, he broke his leg soon after and was unable to achieve any fame in his life.
The second son's qualifications were worse. He was admitted as a scholar at the age of 25. He failed the exam several times and gradually gave up.
Zhang Dai can no longer tell whether this is due to lack of talent or learning, or whether he has offended too many people and has brought disaster to his descendants.
"Oh, that's fine. If I die, if they are in officialdom, I don't know what will happen to them."
“Isn’t it a blessing to be able to farm these twenty or thirty acres of land safely at home?”
Zhang Dai pursed his lips, his eyes dim, and the outline of the road gradually appeared in front of him.
Although the Zhili Granary is said to be one of seven warehouses, the actual millions of stones cannot be stored in one place, not even in seven places. It is divided into fifty-four buildings and arranged like satellites around the capital.
There is a granary in Jielu County, and it is this granary where Zhang Dai is taking his soldiers.
"Sir, we're here!"
Galloping towards the granary, since the distance was not too far, it didn't take too long for the team to arrive at the gate of the granary.
Someone had warned Zhang Dai a long time ago that before approaching the granary, Zhang Dai's face was already flushed. After arriving, his eyes fell on this area like an eagle and scanned around.
"There are fifty-eight more barns in the granary here? They look quite big. Hmm, I wonder how much grain is left in them."
Zhang Dai's eyes fell on the barns, and he muttered to himself inexplicably.
The granary officials who came after hearing the news trotted out and saluted Zhang Dai: "Your Majesty, Xu Zhiming, has met the imperial envoy and the prefect!"
"Hey!" Just as they looked at each other for a moment, an eighth-grade military attache in the armor soldier said "Hey", pressed his knife and glanced behind him, but saw nothing.
Because everyone in the team was silent, although this person felt that he was dazzled just now and saw two white groups flashing past, he couldn't ask those around him if they saw it too.
Just looking at the solemn expressions of the people around me, it seemed like I was the only one seeing it. Could it be that I was really dazzled?
"Chirp!" The two foxes who followed Zhang Dai and his group looked at each other and climbed to a high place to hide their figures. They only stared at Zhang Dai and the official in charge of the granary to see how they confronted each other.
However, there was no confrontation as the fox thought. As soon as the granary official came out, he bowed to Zhang Dai honestly.
Zhang Dai didn't even look at it, and said coldly: "Xu Zhiming, Zhang is the imperial envoy who came to investigate on orders!"
When Xu Zhiming greeted him, he felt like a rabbit in his heart. After hearing these words, he felt proud and looked at Xu Zhifu who was behind the imperial envoy. He knelt down with the corner of his robe and kowtowed: "Please Xu Zhiming, envoy of the granary, please Holy Ann!”
"Holy Holy Gong!"
"Long live Long live Long live!"
After kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, Zhang Dai said coldly: "According to the emperor's order, I inspect the granaries in various places. All officials are involved. I must obey the orders and do not disobey."
After a pause: "Do you understand?"
"Your Majesty, I understand. Please ask the imperial envoy to follow me in. Your Majesty will go get the account book for you to review." Xu Zhiming knelt down to listen and immediately replied respectfully.
At this point, everyone was fine. Zhang Dai nodded, waved his hand, and rushed in with his armored soldiers.
This granary is divided into fifty-eight granaries, each of which can hold 2,000 shi, and a total of 120,000 shi of grain. According to the plan, it must first be built on a high place, and secondly, it must be divided into twelve drainage areas to facilitate rainfall. , can quickly drain floods.
Walking in, this very clear division was all displayed in front of Zhang Dai's eyes.
Zhang Dai glanced at these locked warehouses. After a while, the account books were handed over, and he was about to check them one by one. He was not in a hurry at the moment, so he looked at the account books first.
Xu Zhiming was respectful and did not delay at all. He said he wanted to submit the account books, so he quickly fetched the account books and presented them one by one.
"Master Zhang, our granary has 113,000 shi in the account. After deducting 30,000 shi for disaster relief, we still have 83,000 shi."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang, not a single stone is missing!"
Xu Zhiming licked his lips, glanced at Zhang Dai, and said dryly.
"You can only know if there is a shortage by checking the granary. You can't just say it." Zhang Dai said calmly, with a tone that suggested that the visitor was unkind.
Xu Zhiming choked for a moment, became more honest, and smiled apologetically: "Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy is right."
Zhang Dai glanced at Magistrate Xu who was silent and said, "Don't waste time. Now take me to see the granary and count the grains."
"Yes, sir, please come with me."
There is no reason not to view the granary. Besides, people came here on orders to check the accounts and granary, so Xu Zhiming agreed very readily.
Xu Zhiming agreed so neatly, which made Zhang Dai frown slightly and feel a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
Is there nothing wrong with this granary?
Is the informant's information wrong?
Zhang Dai thought in his heart, and his movements were not slow at all. Jia soldiers were standing guard around him. He and Xu Zhifu followed Xu Zhiming and headed towards the first warehouse.
