Chapter 54: Can't Cover Up
There was nothing to say all night, very calm, and early in the morning of the second question, Shushi came to the yamen with many officials, staring at these people with big eyes, with a murderous aura.
"The magistrate has an order, ordering you to leave immediately, and put the plague pig here and wait for the yamen] to find land and bury it, do you know?"
Someone said angrily: "A few days ago, the magistrate promised to compensate us for a pig at the price of a piece of silver, but you didn't give the money, why should we leave?"
Shushi said: "Bold, these pigs died of illness, why should the yamen compensate?" You people are really insatiable, and you think it is reasonable to compensate you?'
"A pig and a tael of silver, if it goes on like this, don't say that the yamen, even the emperor can't afford to pay it, so you should leave quickly, otherwise you will be punished later."
There was a middle-aged man who was not afraid, he stood up and said: "If we don't give money, we won't leave, the magistrate asked us to kill the pig, and now the pig is killed and not paid, do you really treat me and others as fools?"
"That's it, this family lives on these pigs, and now they are killed, but I can't get compensation, I can't wait."
Looking at these Diao people, Shushi also lost his previous patience, "This matter is what the liar Zhixian said, you had better find him, I can't control this matter, master." ”
"That magistrate entered the yamen] did not come out, presumably he was also arrested by you, unless you release people, we will never leave.
"Release? Hehe, as soon as our magistrate came back, he was scared away, we didn't arrest this person, he absconded in fear of crime, how can he release people? Come on, since these Diao people don't want to leave, then go and fight, as long as they don't kill them, no one cares about this. ”
The next moment, dozens of officials waved their big knives and rushed over, and the farmers who were still thinking of resisting were really moved at this moment, and they didn't dare to resist, so they turned around and fled.
They don't want dead pigs, the key is that they can't fight, the yamen has moved the knife, who dares to resist?
Hundreds of farmers left hundreds of dead pigs, and they ran away at the moment, and soon disappeared.
Shushi smiled: "Just your group of people, what are you going to fight with the yamen?" There is a court behind us, who would dare to make a mistake?"
Shushi looked at this group of officials and said: "Come on, prepare more cars to take, and then follow the master and me to get these dead pigs to the next county to sell, remember not to leak the news, otherwise the lord and the county magistrate will not be able to spare him."
"Yes!"
In the cell, everyone had woken up, and the cell boss walked in with one or twenty steamed buns, with an arrogant attitude.
"Our county magistrate, come to dinner, I can't imagine it, but in front of me is our county magistrate, I don't know why I ended up like this?"
Song Ci said: "You don't need to say these words to squeeze Song, it's still the old saying is right, the king of Hades is right, and the little ghost is difficult, but Song is here to say a word about you, within three days, the people who enter here must be the people of your yamen."
Qin Xiaoyue and the others showed a fierce appearance, if they were outside at this moment, they would have already started beating people, and then fled from here.
The cell boss said: "It's not three days, I don't think I will be imprisoned here in another three years, Lord Magistrate, do you know that you don't live long?" As for the approval, today the yamen has been handed over to the criminal department through the post station, do you think you can survive until three days later?"
Song Ci said: "I'm really sorry, Song's approval was also handed in to the Xuande Hall before you, and it was also through the post station, you say, who am I waiting for?"
"Do you have an approval letter too? So coincidentally, since this is the case, then let's see who is faster, okay? Hehe, you're still hard-mouthed when you're dying, and it's only you. ”
Outside the Yamen, Shushi with a team of people had already left the Yamen and walked mightily on the streets of the county seat
On the carriage, there were hundreds of dead pigs, which had been completely tied to it, covered with a black cloth, and if you were not careful, you would not be able to notice it.
They were very fast, and in a short time they were walking in the mountains and forests, and when people passed by, they immediately went away, not daring to approach.
Dozens of people went forward together, the destination was the county next door, and a pig was calculated according to one or two silver, and it was not bad to get it down.
Shushi said: "Everyone is a little smarter, if this matter is done, the magistrate promises that each person will be raised by ten cents this month, and there must be no mistakes."
As soon as they heard that the money had risen, they were in better spirits, and this kind of good thing had never been encountered.
But ahead, a large group of men and horses wearing armor and riding iron horses approached them, and the sound of horses' hooves was constant, and the sound of weapons colliding was heard.
The voice gradually approached, and soon the two sides collided, and the Shushi side was completely suppressed.
Escort Hao saw a convoy in front of him, he waved his hand to order the period to stop, and then beckoned: "Your Excellency is that yamen?" With so many valuables, but you want to pay bribes in Lin'an?"
Shushi was taken aback, and when he looked at it, he almost didn't fall off the high-headed horse, so he got off the horse in a panic, came to the front and said: "My lord, the small one is the Shushi of Zhuxian County, which is the disaster relief food transported to the county next door."
Hao Huwei said: "This year, the Great Song Dynasty has good weather and rain, there is no drought, no flood, and no natural disasters, why do you want to transport grain?"
Shushi said: "The adults don't know that there are locusts in the county next door, and many crops have been eaten, and the people can be said to have no harvest.
Hao Huwei was silent for a while, he remembered the emperor's holy decree, and he was suspicious at this moment.
The magistrate of Zhuxian County has been out for a month and has not returned, and the court already knows about it, which all depends on Song Ci's advice, otherwise, the matter will still be kept in the dark.
"In the book, the official came from Lin'an and was ordered by the emperor to come to assist, and now the official asks you, this Zhuxian county order has not returned in January, but is it a fact?"
Shushi thought that it was over, this matter may have been exposed, if this matter is not taken seriously, don't say Liu Tianhong, even he will have to suffer.
He said cautiously: "My lord, this matter is absolutely nothing, the little one has always been in the yamen with the county lord, and has never gone out, I think, maybe there is Diao Min talking nonsense!"
Hao Huwei shouted, "Bold, this is the advice of the criminal officer of the Criminal Department, can there still be a fake?" Today, even if you talk nonsense, this official will not believe you!"
"Someone, tear all the black cloth off the carriage for me, and the official wants to see if there is any so-called disaster relief food inside."
"Yes!"
A large number of people and horses walked up, brandished their big knives and slashed at the carriage, Shushi was almost frightened to death, and hurriedly stopped, "My lord, there is some grain here, if the cloth bag is broken, won't it be spilled on the ground all the way?"
Guarding Hao ignored it, and soon the cloth bags were broken, revealing dead pigs, and a very smelly smell came over.
When Shushi saw it, he couldn't hide it, and he collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, as if his body was falling apart, and he was weak.
