Chapter 105: Lax Supervision
"What? Only cut about 100 catties? Are you sure you heard ...... right? ”
Li Er, who was still thunderous just now, widened his eyes in surprise after hearing the old eunuch's report!
At the same time, I was secretly relieved in my heart!
"The old slave specially asked a number of tenant farmers, and only after confirming that it was correct, did he go back and forth!"
Wang De nodded firmly.
After the emperor issued an order, he took a team of Qianniuwei, rode on war horses, and galloped all the way to the potato fields outside the city.
I thought I would see piles of potato chips, but when I arrived, I realized that there was only one tenant farmer cutting potatoes, and only a small pile!
After he inquired, he found out that from yesterday to now, he has been cutting potatoes by himself, and he has only cut about 100 catties in total.
He was worried that the emperor would be angry because of this incident and implicate the innocent, so after confirming the news, he didn't even have time to drink saliva, so he quickly came back to report!
"You bastard, do you know this is a crime of deception?"
After listening to Wang De's report, Li Er glared and shouted.
However, although he was very angry, he secretly rejoiced in his heart.
"The son-in-law didn't deceive the king, it's just that the estimation is wrong......!"
Zhao Yin blinked blankly, and said with an innocent face: "The son-in-law has indeed ordered all the tenant farmers to cut all the potatoes, but who knew that they would cut such a little, what a waste ......!" ”
"Oh! I know, the business of the winery has been very busy recently, there must be a lack of manpower, they went to the winery to help, and there is also a cotton field, and there is a lot of work over there, so the progress of cutting potatoes has been delayed! ”
Zhao Yin slapped his head and said as if he had suddenly realized.
"You're ......!"
Seeing his pretending to be innocent, Li Er couldn't wait to slap him a few times!
But when I think that he is so thick-skinned, it doesn't hurt him when the time comes, but his palm hurts, it's not worth it!
Obviously, he only cut a hundred catties, but he said that it was a hundred acres, this kid is really a cheat!
It's good now, the lives of dozens of people in the Zheng family are gone!
Even if he wants a lighter punishment now, it's too late!
However, fortunately, the 100 acres of grain are still there!
"I really can't complain about the son-in-law, the son-in-law went to the household department early in the morning and did not supervise in the house, otherwise, now a hundred acres of potatoes will be cut out!"
Zhao Yin shifted the blame back to the household department.
"Humph!"
Li Er saw that Zhao Yin was such a scoundrel, and he really couldn't do anything about him, so he had to snort coldly, and then began to think about how to deal with it.
He thought that he had destroyed a hundred acres of potatoes before he beheaded Zheng Tao, but now there are only 100 catties, and this crime does not constitute beheading at all, let alone raiding the house, but now that the person is dead, he can't punish that kid!
Therefore, we must think of an excuse to gag the mouths of those old guys in the Imperial Tower!
"Wang De, I ask you, did you damage a hundred catties or a hundred acres?"
Li Er looked up at the big eunuch who was looking tired and out of breath and asked.
"The old slave has already verified, it is indeed only a hundred catties, absolutely yes!"
Wang De thought that the emperor didn't believe him, so he repeatedly assured him.
"Princess, you have been by the emperor's side for decades, and you can best guess the holy will, and now Zheng Tao has been beheaded all over the house, so Your Majesty wants to determine whether it is a hundred catties or a hundred acres?"
Look at him, he didn't say anything at all, Zhao Yin kindly reminded.
"How much?"
Li Er glared angrily and shouted.
"Poof!"
Wang De immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to admit his mistake, "It's all the old slave's fault, the old slave is afraid that the emperor will be angry, so he lied about the quantity, not a hundred catties at all, but a hundred acres, forget the emperor's forgiveness...... ”
"Hmm!"
Seeing that he still had some eyesight, Li Er nodded with satisfaction, "Get up!" You are also for my sake, but this kind of thing must not happen again, if you dare to mention 100 catties again, be careful of your head! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the old slave came back alone to report it, and no one else knew, and he would never let anyone else know!"
Wang De staggered up from the ground and nodded repeatedly.
I almost lost my head just now, but fortunately, I was reminded by the colt that I escaped a catastrophe, otherwise, he would have been in a different place!
"For me, Zheng Tao, the head of the household department, ignored the suffering of the people, and coerced the communiqué for private gain, resulting in the destruction of 100 acres of potatoes, so the door was copied and beheaded, if there is any more favoritism and bending the law, it will be decided!"
In order to confirm this crime, Li Er specially ordered someone to draw up a holy decree and send it to the six departments of the three provinces.
"Yes!"
After Wang De received the order, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ran to announce the decree.
"You bastard, let me say what you are good about, there will be no moment to stop, hum ......!"
After Wang De left, Li Er pointed at Zhao Yin's nose and scolded angrily.
"The son-in-law really doesn't know that he only cut so little, and he blames the son-in-law for his poor supervision!"
Zhao Yin arched his hand and pretended to be sorry.
"Don't pretend there, can you hide it from me with that little bit of care?"
Still quibbling there!
He didn't know where he was, he just wanted to use himself to get rid of Zheng Tao!
This bastard, even he was counted!
No way! This loss cannot be eaten in vain!
"The wine you sent last time is almost finished, you can send a few hundred catties over!"
After thinking about it, Li Er deliberately made a tiger face and pretended to be angry and said.
"No problem, my son-in-law will order someone to send you five hundred catties tomorrow!"
Zhao Yin did not shirk and responded very quickly.
Anyway, when he opened the winery, Li Er had already invested in the shares, and according to what he said at the time, Li Er should have the right of first refusal of 500 catties every month.
So, he just said yes, but if he wants it again, he will have to wait until next month!
"You kid has a bit of eyesight!"
Seeing that he was not stingy this time, Li Er nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you go back, it's best to settle down in the future!" ”
"Yes!"
Zhao Yin responded absentmindedly and turned to leave.
"Master Pony, you've finally come out!"
What he didn't expect was that as soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he saw those officials from the household department rushing over with smiles on their faces.
"What do you mean?"
He was about to go to the prison to see if his four-wheeled carriage was done, but this group of people directly surrounded him, and he was suddenly a little unhappy.
"The promotion of potatoes is related to people's livelihood, and the lower official wants to ask if the horse is free today? Xia Guan wants to take someone to buy! ”
One of the officials asked, arching his hand, nodding his head.
"Not available, not only not only not available today, but also in the future!"
Zhao Yin shook his head.
He had sent people to find the household department again and again, but they were all prevaricated back, and this time, he wanted them to taste the taste of hitting a wall!
"The household department is willing to allocate 100,000 yuan first, and when all the potatoes are purchased, then refund more and make up for less, I don't know what the horse wants?"
Another official said after a moment's thought.
Although the rules of the household department are that cash on delivery is paid, they have already seen the temper of this kid, but they are afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, so they will save their heads first!
After today's events, they can see that even if the colt causes a big disaster, the emperor will not blame, and it can only be them who suffer!
Therefore, they might as well coax their horses to be happy, as long as they do not offend this living Hades, their lives will be saved.
