Jiang Anyi appeared on the left side of the wall, and the wall in Fuluo County was carved with a monster shaped like a unicorn, decorated with treasure auspicious clouds, this guy opened his mouth wide, trying to devour the sun in the upper left corner. The book introduces (greed) is a greedy beast, still not satisfied with gold and silver treasures, trying to devour the sun, falling into the sea and dying, carved on the county government wall is used to warn the county order to take it as a warning, do not be greedy and pervert the law.

The mourning music gradually became low, the noise gradually calmed down, the crowd looked at the county master with complicated eyes, and the cries of the Su family became particularly harsh. Jiang Anyi glanced at the long funeral procession without showing weakness, and finally his eyes fell on the Su family who were wearing linen and filial piety, and asked coldly: "What do you mean by this, do you want to rush into the yamen?" ”

According to the "Da Zheng Law", colliding with the official office is tantamount to rebellion and capital crime. The big hat was buttoned down, and immediately there was silence, and even the howling and crying suddenly stopped. However, looking at Jiang Anyi's gaze, there was clearly a lot more hostility, and a storm was coming in the quiet confrontation.

The Su family made full preparations for this trip, there were nine Xiucai in Fuluo County, and Lu Xiucai spent money to invite four to help, among which his friend Wu Huayou was eloquent and courageous.

As soon as Jiang Anyi's words fell, Wu Huayou stood up from the crowd, bowed and saluted: "Student Wu Huayou has seen Master Jiang. ”

The one who fights in the ring is coming. Last time Jiang Anyi went to the county school, he didn't see Wu Huayou, the scholar in front of him had a white face and a slight beard, dressed in a green shirt, and his color was washed white, and he was dressed up as a typical poor showman. Jiang Anyi asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"My lord, Old Man Su is buried today, and his eldest son Su Guoliang is still in prison, please release Su Guoliang and let him be buried for his father, so as to fulfill his responsibilities as a son."

Jiang Anyi thought for a while, and instructed the officials around him: "Go and bring Su Guoliang and let him worship at his father's coffin." ”

Everyone's expressions were relieved, a smile appeared on Wu Huayou's face, and he continued: "My lord, Old Man Su repaired bridges and roads during his lifetime, helped the poor, and was a kind person, please incense for him." ”

Jiang Anyi sneered in his heart, his concession was actually shown as cowardice, and he dared to advance step by step. Su Guozhong and Su Guoxing stiffened their necks and shouted, "Please incense my father." Dad, you died unjustly, you died so miserably, and you can't live in peace under Jiuquan. ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, and someone shouted: "Please give incense to Old Man Su and bow down." ”

At this time, Su Guoliang was escorted over, and Jiang Anyi motioned to the official to let him go and let him come forward to worship.

Su Guoliang had learned of his father's death in prison, and knew that today's family was ready to attack Jiang County, and wanted to coerce him to release himself and let the Su family go. Changing into sackcloth, Su Guoliang cried to the ground with a handful of snot and tears, crying until he fainted several times, and many people in the crowd accompanied him to wipe his sympathetic tears.

Wu Huayou saw Jiang Xian Ling looking at everything in front of him with an indifferent face, and stepped forward angrily: "My lord, how can you be indifferent to this situation, are you hard-hearted?" Wu asked the adults to worship Old Man Su. ”

"Yes, incense and worship." There was a noisy chorus behind him.

"Hey, hey, hey", Jiang Anyi let out a sneer, looked at Wu Huayou's swollen face and said, "This official worships the king's parents, benevolent and righteous people." Wu Huayou, what is Su Changhe's place for this official to kneel? ”

Wu Huayou glared at Jiang Anyi and said: "Lord Jiang, Wu's family is poor, if it weren't for Old Man Su's frequent charity and gifting, Wu would not be able to take the Xiucai exam at all; Five years ago, when there was a drought in Fuluo County, Mr. Su put porridge in the warehouse and how many people lived; Old Man Su has done countless good deeds in his life, isn't such a good person worthy of worship? ”

Jiang Anyi looked at Wu Huayou coldly and sneered: "Zhou Ji has helped you, and he is a good person to help you go to school?" ”

Wu Huayou trembled with anger, and said tremblingly: "Adults' words are like knives, can they kill people?" Adults are from top backgrounds and read poetry and books, why don't they be reasonable? ”

"Be reasonable, that's good, the official will be reasonable with you." Jiang Anyi raised his voice, looked past Wu Huayou, and said to the people with angry faces.

"For example, five years ago, that is, in the eighth year of Fengle, there was a great drought in Fuluo County, and the court allocated 2,200 taels of silver for disaster relief, 400 stone of grain, 20 yuan of rice, 200 taels of silver can be exchanged for 1,000 stones of rice, and the court's disaster relief silver was converted into 1,400 stones, and 10 stones of rice were about 1,200 catties, which was enough to cook porridge for five or six thousand people for a day, and the grain given by the court could support 120 days for four months."

"The court has given so much silver and grain, why does the government only give four pots of porridge a day, and not a stone of rice a day? It's only been done for a month. ”

"The porridge given by the government is drunk by people, it is all moldy and spoiled rice, and it is full of sand, if there is no way, who will drink the pig food."

"More than 1,000 catties of rice are enough to eat, where is the money and food?"

The crowd was "buzzing" like a swarm of bees, and the discussion was non-stop.

Jiang Anyi waited quietly for a while, and when the discussion gradually subsided, he said loudly again: "You want to ask where the money and grain go?" The official told you that the money was received by Su Guoliang as a fake account, and the grain was also exchanged for old rice in the granary, and the new rice was sold and divided by Su Guoliang and others. The money obtained by the Su family pretended to give porridge for disaster relief, these porridges were originally rescued by the court, and the old man Su took out a small amount of embezzled money to invite people to buy people's hearts, should he be killed? This is the Su Shanren in your eyes, the good family. ”

The crowd exploded angrily, and someone threw the white paper flower in his hand and spat at Su Changhe's coffin, and the funeral procession immediately dispersed nearly half.

A place of paper flowers scattered. Snow white and miserable.

Su Guoliang couldn't say that he did this account, but most of the money was taken away by Yan County's order, and as for the grain, everyone in the county government had a share. Su Guoliang turned his eyes to his former colleagues for help, and those people avoided Su Guoliang's gaze one after another, for fear of provoking him.

Jiang Anyi looked at Wu Huayou, whose face became pale, and sneered: "Wu Huayou, you are a showman, the court gives one liter of rice every day and two pieces of money in order to raise the seeds of reading, can you get it?" ”

Wu Huayou lost his high-spirited generosity, and said dejectedly: "After the adults arrived, the county school began to give money and rice, and Wu thanked my lord." ”

A penny is difficult for a hero, why don't you bend your waist for five buckets of rice, every day your wife and children wait for the rice to go to the pot, your father and mother exhaust your family property for your own study, and it is difficult to support your family by relying on your meager income to copy accounts for others. After Jiang Anyi arrived, he began to distribute food, which really solved the dilemma of most of the talented dukes.

"You don't need to thank me, this is the original system of the court, but the county order and the Su family used to transfer the money and grain you deserve by making false accounts. You complained about the Su family, thinking that the Su family had asked you for help, but you had ever thought that the money and food that the Su family used to ask you for help were originally what you deserved. It's in vain that you read and understand reason, you don't understand this truth, you are really a fool who can only read to death. Jiang Anyi reprimanded.

Wu Huayou took a deep look and said: "I was guilty of being born later, but I regarded the thief as a good person, and I was blind and willing to be punished." ”

Jiang Anyi waved his hand and said: "Study with peace of mind, I wish you to hear the good news in August as soon as possible, and if you have spare energy, you will really do good." ”

"Late life, respect the teachings of Lord Jiang of the county order." Wu Huayou straightened up, walked to the Su family who was at a loss, took out two taels of silver from his sleeve, threw it beside Lu Xiucai, and said: "The Su family's silver is too dirty, Wu is a good man, and he doesn't want the Su family's charity." ”

The other three people invited by Lu Xiucai shrank into the crowd and disappeared for a long time.

The mighty funeral procession has become scattered, and the people who were full of resentment against Jiang County just now turned their hateful eyes on the Su family, scolding the Su family with resentful scolding, and scolding Su Changhe, who was once considered a good person, if it weren't for the Su family, his own family might be able to get three or five more buckets, and maybe he could make more new clothes for his mother-in-law.

Wang Xingren stood behind Jiang Anyi and looked at the scene he directed with great pride. In the past few days, there has been a lot of resentment among the people in Fuluo County, and everything is just as he expected. Today's matter, in his opinion, whether Jiang Anyi is soft or hard, he will inevitably lose face, he hopes in his heart that Jiang Anyi can be tough, order the officials to beat people and take people, and even smashed Su Changhe's coffin, so that Jiang Anyi can't stay in Fuluo County anymore, and he will naturally become the new county commander.

However, looking at the paper flowers that stepped on the ground, the snow was white and dazzling, Wang Xingren wanted to cry without tears, what is the meaning of verbal arguments, which is called turning over his hands for clouds and rain, Jiang Anyi vividly taught him a lesson today. Wang Xingren felt a chill in his heart, such a person really couldn't deal with it himself, he knew that he really shouldn't have the idea of "forcing each other to die", and now he is trapped in it, and it is difficult to get rid of it.

The general trend has gone, Su Guozhong resents Wang Xingren extremely much in his heart, if it weren't for this dog official, his father would not have died, the Su family would not have been discredited, the Su family is going to be finished, Wang Xiancheng, you don't want to escape. Kneeling forward and crawling a few steps forward, and came to Wang Xingren's side, Su Guozhong said in a dumb voice: "Lord Wang, you have a good relationship with your father, please look at your father's face, ask Lord Jiang to intercede, let go of the Su family." ”

Don't go against your size, don't you just accept more than 100 taels of silver from your Su family. Wang Xingren couldn't say it, if he didn't help the Su family, Su Guozhong would accept the money on the spot, and come up with the idea of letting Su Changhe die in front of the county office.

Wang Xingren had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Lord Jiang, the deceased is the greatest, don't miss the time to enter the ground, and it is inappropriate to cry in front of the county yamen, so it is better to miss a few days." ”

Jiang Anyi took a deep look at Wang Xingren, but he didn't expect that it was actually this person who was making trouble behind him. Looking at Wang Xingren, who was embarrassed by his gaze, Jiang Anyi said: "Take Su Guoliang back to prison." ”

When Su Guoliang heard this, he pleaded with a cry: "Ask the master to be gracious and fulfill Su's responsibility as a filial son." ”

"If you have the heart to be filial, you should think about loyalty first, you are unclean for officials, and you are disloyal, so it is difficult to fulfill filial piety today." Jiang Anyi thought for a while and said to Qin Zixiong: "Lord Qin, please send a few officials to watch Su Guoliang, and wait for Su Changhe to enter the ground, and then escort Su Guoliang back to prison." ”

Su Guoliang cried and worshiped on the ground, and Jiang Anyi turned around and went back to the ya.

The mourning music sounded again, and the mournful music became weak, and those who mourned turned into a laughing crowd.

Wang Xingren stood stunned, sweat soaking through his clothes.
