"Master Yang, County Magistrate, wait a moment, my subordinates will open the warehouse door, and we can go in right away!"
Supervisor Xie Cang fiddled with his sleeves for a long time with his plump hands before taking out a key that was very greasy on his body.
I don't know whether it was the pressure from Yang Miao or something else, but Xie Cangjian couldn't push the keyhole in with his trembling hands, and he was so anxious that he broke into a cold sweat.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Look, the county magistrate isn't in a hurry now, but you are so anxious!"
Yang Miao can't do anything well, but judging from the character's character, it's still the same. He originally thought that Magistrate Zhou and Supervisor Xie Cang were in the same group, but now it seems that the magistrate was also kept in the dark and wanted to watch the fun more than he did!
"Look at what Mr. Yang said, this is an outsider! Mr. Yang is in a high position at a young age. It is a rare opportunity for me to have the opportunity to see Mr. Yang handle a case, and I am deeply honored."
Zhou Kang, the old fox, quickly kicked the ball away. You bastard, you solve the case and claim the credit. Don't drag me down in this muddy water. If you don't get the benefits, just pat your butt and leave, leaving me wiping my butt in Liaoxi.
"Clang!"
The copper lock was finally opened.
Xie Cang listened to the conversation between the two bosses and his heart went cold. If he had known this, he should not have listened to the words of the prodigal in Yihuayuan. He also said that he would become a concubine for himself after that. Damn it, my life is almost gone, so having a concubine is useless.
"Gudong!"
Supervisor Xie Cang gulped, removed the irrelevant personnel, and personally led the two bosses into the granary!
"Two adults, please come inside. The smell inside is a bit unpleasant!"
After the wooden door opened, Yang Miao carefully looked at everything in front of him.
There was a lot of dust on the ground and on the granary, and it was obvious that no one had been in for a long time. The ventilation inside is good, but there is still a pungent smell.
Zhou Kang was also a Confucian scholar who had not done farm work. As soon as he came in, he and Yang Miao stared at each other. The two non-professionals walked in carelessly, but they didn't know how to check.
Touch this bag and poke at each box. Full of food, nothing seems wrong!
"Come here, bring me the account books. I want to see the running accounts of the Liaoxi Granary!"
Looking at Zhou Kang and Xie Cangjian's incredulous eyes, Yang Miao said something that shocked everyone present!
Does this second-generation ancestor still know how to check accounts? !
Yang Miao is also quite proud. What I want to see is your expression!
After a while, an old man with a white beard laboriously pushed a large pile of ledgers with detailed records of grain and grass supplies on a cart.
Damn it! so much? ! If you are careless, it will take me at least half a lifetime to read it all by myself.
In the eyes of everyone who looked at them like fools, Yang Miao inspected a few books randomly and used a standard set of inspection words to put forward some suggestions and improvement measures to Supervisor Xie Cang and others. . .
Yang Miao didn't find any useful information, and Zhou Kang became a little irritated. I still have a lot of things to do, and I'm not here to listen to your nonsense.
"Master Yang, just ask your followers to bring the account back to the inn first! Let's continue checking, otherwise the Turks will launch a fierce attack and there will be no one in the county government to take charge, and everything will be chaos!"
Yang Miao was puzzled. There was obviously a big problem with Supervisor Xie Cang. Why couldn't I find out the reason? !
Half an hour later,
Yang Miao and Zhou Kang dug three feet into the ground, but still found nothing unusual.
Since the granaries are full and there is no shortage of food, what is that fat guy, Supervisor Xie, still worried about? !
"What a courageous dog! Supervisor Xie Cang! Do you know your guilt?!"
Yang Miao grabbed a handful of rice and suddenly changed her face. The entourage on the left and right heard the sound and immediately blocked the way. Zhou Kang was completely confused by the sudden scene!
where am I? What just happened?
"I know I'm guilty, but I hope Mr. Yang will show mercy!"
With a plop, Supervisor Xie Cang fell to his knees, hugged Yang Miao's boots and burst into tears. His regretful look was disgusting!
"If you don't let me recruit you from the truth, if there is any omission, I will put you in prison and torture you severely!"
"Promise! I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything I want to say."
"Two years ago, Xiaguan once went to Yihuayuan to drink alone. After three rounds of drinking, Chunhua, the top girl in Yihuayuan, suddenly appeared and flirted with Xiaguan..."
"What the hell, this county magistrate doesn't have time to listen to your story. Tell me the key points!"
Zhou Kang kicked Supervisor Xie Cang hard, but he was still angry in his heart. Damn it, I still can't figure it out. How did that guy Yang Miao figure out the problem? !
"Yes Yes!"
Supervisor Xie Cang rubbed his fat body. Fortunately, the scholar's beating didn't hurt!
"Miss Chunhua said, let me use my authority to help the Zhao family in the city manipulate the grain that is stored in the granary every year, and replace the old grain with new grain. There will be a lot of profit in the process! There will be a lot of grain grains in the granary. , most people can’t see it either…”
Zhou Kang touched his beard, that’s it! It seems that Yang Miao was able to join the army at a young age. He also has his own set of special skills, and he is ashamed of himself.
Yang Miao: Humph! Looking at you, I know you can bluff me!
“Has all the grain harvested this year been shipped to Youzhou?!”
"Master Yang is very aware of everything. Before this year's autumn harvest, the governor of Youzhou sent a letter, asking the grain inspection team to transport all the newly harvested grain to Youzhou. The granary has not been opened for a year, so the ground is covered with dust."
Yang Miao banged the cart and said to Zhou Kang with ulterior motives:
"I wonder if Magistrate Zhou is loyal to the emperor?! The evidence is conclusive that the Zhao family of Shandong collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and resold military supplies. The rest of the people will be troubled by how to judge them, Master Zhou!"
Zhou Kang sighed, lying innocently! Why do you let a fat guy like you involve the Zhao family? Besides, why do you have to drag me, a small official, into the fight between the two aristocratic families of Yang and Zhao? Is it interesting? !
"Master Yang, the Zhao family just exchanged their own old grain with the new grain in the granary to get the price difference. This crime is not considered reselling military grain or collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, right?!"
Zhou Kang is not stupid. How can I let you become a spearman? ! If they accuse Shandong Zhao family of such a big crime for no reason, don't they still have to come to me to fight for their lives? !
"I said Master Zhou, what happened was your granary in western Liaoning, and what happened was also your officials in western Liaoning. Now that the Turks are sieging the city, in order to avoid accidents, I can act cheaply and kill all the suspicious people first and then report them! Including you, Mr. Zhou. !”
Yang Miao's entourage picked up a broadsword and stepped forward, immediately disarming the two government officials Zhou Kang had brought into the granary.
The yamen servants in the county government can usually bully common people, but when they encounter Yang Miao and his group of murderous Qianniu Guards, they immediately lose their temper, obediently hand over their weapons, and are captured without a fight!
When Supervisor Xie Cang heard that Yang Miao wanted to kill even their county magistrate, he collapsed to the ground in fear and started talking nonsense.
"Master Yang, I have an old man and a young man, and my whole family has more than ten lives. I don't want to die just like this on the charge of treason. Please give me a way to survive, Master Yang! Even if Master Yang now asks the subordinates to take up arms and leave the city and fight The Turks are working hard and the subordinate officials have no complaints, so please show your respect to Mr. Yang!"
In the feudal system, the crime of treason can be large or small, but even if it is punished as a small crime, Xie Cangjian and his family are on the road to exile.
The road to exile is not something that ordinary people can bear. It is almost impossible for those who are exiled to reach their destination alive. According to us, the survival rate is less than 1%.
The usual destinations on the Path of Exile are uninhabited places.
It is not as simple as described in other novels. Exile in the feudal dynasty is a cruel punishment second only to execution in Lingchi.
The deportees had to wear thin prison uniforms and 60-pound shackles every day and walk fifty miles over mountains and ridges. The shortest exile distance is 2,500 miles, which means it must be reached within fifty days!
For a period of time in the beginning, the deportees could keep up with the escorting officials.
But later, slowly, my feet and hands were scratched by the chains that were tied to them, and the pain was unbearable. I was trapped by the shackles again, unable to move. Only then did I realize that the sky was not responding to the calls, and the earth was not responding to the calls. spirit!
After a few days, the injured hands and feet of these exiles were all swollen, and many of them were oozing pus and smelly. However, the escorting officials were still unkind and kept beating them, and they had to walk fifty miles every day.
At this time, the exile journey had only lasted ten days. If the children and old people on the way could not complete their tasks, they would die one after another from the whipping.
After a few days, the exiled women will be unable to complete their tasks due to some natural factors such as steep slopes, cliffs, dense forests, insects and ants, and will be forced to serve the escorting officials or choose to die!
In the following days, every day will be more uncomfortable than death. You will witness your family members dying around you one by one, and your wife and daughter will also die on the way after being bullied and unable to complete their tasks.
In the end, the exiles suffered a double blow both physically and mentally and fell on the road, with the escorted officials buried beside them.
At that moment, they realized that they had spent all their wealth to prepare everything before setting off, but in the end they were just trying to survive a few more days!
In order to keep his family alive, Supervisor Xie Cang could not help but lie on the ground with tears dripping from his nose and hold Yang Miao's thigh.
Zhou Kang also lost his temper. Just as Yang Miao said, at the critical moment, if someone under his command has a problem, even if he is investigated in the future, he will not be able to escape.
"Alas! In order to protect the entire Liaoxi City and to successfully repel the Turks, I and Mr. Yang are grasshoppers on the same rope, advancing and retreating together."
"Come here, go to the county government office and capture Lieutenant Xu, and then mobilize Huairou's 500 reinforcements to surround the Zhao Mansion for me. If no officer or Master Yang arrives, not even a fly will be allowed in or out. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" "
Yang Miao couldn't help but clapped her hands, laughed and cursed:
"Sure enough, Jiang is still old and hot. It's not that I want to get rid of the Zhao family with the help of County Magistrate Zhou, but that Lord Zhou wants to get rid of the cancer of your Liaoxi City, Lieutenant Xu, with the help of me recording affairs and joining the army!"
Now Zhou Kang no longer hid it, he shook off his sleeves to thank the supervisor for his snot and said with his hands:
"At this moment, Xu County Lieutenant's wife is the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. There are also many Xu County Lieutenant's eyes and ears in the county government. The relationship is complicated, and one move can affect the whole body. Therefore, I never make any noise on weekdays and am cautious. , for fear of disturbing the situation!"
"This time Mr. Yang intends to eliminate the Zhao family, and Liaoxi City also happens to have Huairou's reinforcements. The time and place are favorable, and everyone wants it. I have no choice but to go along with the flow as a favor and solve family matters..."
