Chapter 21 The Pillars of His Day
"All like that? Then why is there more than twice as many dishes in his bowl as mine, not only that, but why is it like this every day for more than ten days, what do you mean! Shen Chongming looked angry, his eyes were angry, and his appearance was very scary.
The master in front of him didn't expect him to dare to do this, and he didn't know how to argue for a while, but he didn't listen to it and said repeatedly: "If you don't want to eat, don't eat, if you don't want to eat, don't eat." ”
Xiao Pengcheng followed closely behind Shen Chongming, and his task was to pay close attention to the position of the high arch, so as to remind Shen Chongming when to make a special move.
"Brother Shen, Master Gao is here!" Seeing the high arch getting closer and closer, Xiao Pengcheng hurriedly whispered. After receiving the information, Shen Chongming, who had been enduring the saliva of the master master, smiled evilly and immediately slapped the bowl on the table. With a lot of force, the big porcelain bowl shattered in response, two steamed buns rolled to the ground, vegetable soup splashed, and the onlookers hurriedly retreated.
"Strong words! Steamed buns and vegetables every day, how can such meals be nutritious enough, even if you dare to be bold and reckless, how can these things meet the daily needs of students such as me? We study hard every day, so that he will become a pillar of the country, serve the country, serve the country loyally, and benefit the common people. But now that you're doing this, how can I study when I'm hungry? If you can't study, how can you serve the country, how can you be loyal to the king, and how can you benefit the people in the world? Such a rebellious and reckless act of bullying the king should be punished for the crime of destroying the nine clans! Shen Chongming scolded with an angry face, and everyone around him was dumbfounded, just two steamed buns and three small rapes were raised to such an extent, this is too powerful.
Looking at the master in front of him, he was scolded to the point that he trembled, this was not angry, but scared out, Shen Chongming's words sounded quite reasonable, wouldn't it be that he was really going to be exterminated by the Nine Clans!
"Well said!" Gao Gong's voice sounded, and it was the three words that Shen Chongming had been looking forward to hearing.
"Ah, meet the priest-sama." Shen Chongming hurriedly turned around and saluted Gao Gong, his face was full of surprise, and the person who didn't know his plan said that he had really just discovered Gao Gong's arrival.
But Xiao Pengcheng behind him saw him like this, but he was full of admiration, pretending to this extent, he was definitely a master among the masters, and it seemed that he still needed to strengthen his learning.
Seeing that the students in front of him were so polite, Gao Gong nodded with satisfaction, they are all students. "Hehe, let's be polite."
"Little one, meet the tall man!" As soon as the master who was already trembling saw Gao Gong appear, he almost fell to his knees limply.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Facing the master, Gao Gong didn't have the good face he had when he faced the prisoners just now.
"Back to the adult, it's this student who is causing trouble for no reason." The master master put the responsibility on Shen Chongming's head.
Shen Chongming was about to speak, when he heard Gao Gong sneer: "Hehe, what a gratuitous incident." Then the official wants to ask you, why did he cause trouble for no reason? ”
The answer to the point immediately made the master not know how to justify it, so he could only kneel there and bow his head and say nothing.
Gao Gong didn't want to let go of this matter, and this time he came to inspect the room on his own, just to see what the prisoners ate every day. If you don't look at it, you don't know it, and you'll be startled when you see it, just two steamed buns, plus a small rape with almost no oil and water, such a thing may be a good thing in the homes of ordinary people, but Guozijian's meals are all rice and flour money allocated by the imperial court, and these things are really a little unreasonable.
And what Shen Chongming said just now is exactly what Gao Gong thinks in his heart, he has lived in the Guozi Prison most of the days, and he has also seen the diligence of all the students, how can these things alone be supported. Maybe the Shizi who has been in the cold window for ten years outside can't reach himself, but in the one-third of an acre of land in Guozijian, it is definitely to be managed!
"How much silver does the imperial court pay for the students' meals every month?" Gao Gong asked the rest of the trembling masters.
"If you go back to adults, you will have 600 yuan per person per month." It looks like it should be a supervisor The master said.
Knowing that as soon as he finished speaking, Gao Gong shouted fiercely: "Nonsense, why does the meal provided by the imperial court cost one tael of silver per person per month, why did it become six hundred yuan when it came to you?" Not to mention, the six hundred dollars a month for all these meals you make? ”
"My lord Mingjian, the imperial court gave 600 yuan, and Zhu Zhangzhu also allocated the same amount of money to the house every month!" The master in charge was so anxious that his face was red, and in the blink of an eye, each prisoner was less than 400 yuan, which was not his own life.
"Full of nonsense, as a sacrificial wine, how can this official not know how much the imperial court allocates to each student's meal every month? Not only did one tael of silver become 600 wen, but the food used by the prisoners was less than 400 wen a month. Gao Gong's voice was fierce, obviously really angry. Long before he took office, he smelled the miasma of the Guozijian and always wanted to figure out what was going on, but it was inconvenient when he first arrived, and the Guozijian on the surface was calm, so he no longer investigated, but he didn't expect that the place where the dirt and dirt were hidden was in this small room!
"The adults are aware of it, although the small ones have deductions, but they definitely don't dare to be so bold, Zhu Zhangshu's monthly allocation of silver taels is really according to each prisoner 600 yuan ago, and he also took the bulk of the silver saved, and the small one is a small chef, and he can't help himself!" Without waiting for the high arch to use the means, the chef, who had never seen anything in the world, shook out all the things.
Such a situation not only greatly surprised Gao Gong and the other prisoners, but even Shen Chongming, who wanted to take the opportunity to let Zhu Fatzi see his own methods, was dumbfounded, he had seen a lot of corruption, this person embezzled silver twice in a row It was the first time he had seen it, and he had to admire Zhu Fatzi, this birdman was too ruthless.
At this moment, Gao Gong was also angry in his heart, he could have allowed the prisoners to eat and drink a tael of silver, but in the blink of an eye, nearly half of them ran into Zhu Fatzi's pocket, this killing material is really hateful.
"Someone is coming, immediately mobilize miscellaneous servants to arrest Zhu Zhangzhu and send him to Dali Temple!" Gao Gong was furious, and the handymen who had been following closely behind him to listen to the dispatch hurriedly responded, and ran to gather men with joyful faces. Not to mention that the meal expenses of the prisoners have been deducted, even the monthly money of these miscellaneous servants Zhu Fat often finds excuses to deduct everything, and they will blatantly ask for gifts and filial piety during the New Year's holidays, and the big guy has long hated this guy.
With a long sigh of relief, Gao Gong bowed his head and said to the few masters who were already trembling and kneeling on the ground waiting for his punishment: "Nian Zaier has been forced to do such a wrong thing, this official will let you go for the time being, if you don't repent and do it again in the future, then don't blame this official for acting according to the king's law!" Gao Gong also knew that as long as no one took the lead, they would never dare to be greedy for ink, as long as they made good use of people in the future, such a thing would never happen.
"Thank you for your kindness." A few of the master chefs hurriedly kowtowed and thanked them, their cooking skills were average, and they were good at cooking a big pot of dishes, and they didn't have any skills to cook in the restaurant outside.
Ignoring them anymore, Gao Gong nodded to the onlookers and walked out, Zhu Fatzi was sent to Dali Temple to discuss the crime, and he, the country's priest, had to go over and have a look.
Gao Gong left, and several masters continued to thank him for a long time before standing up, and then looking at Shen Chongming, his eyes were no longer the same, without the arrogance just now, but there was more fear.
Without too many words, one of them picked up another bowl to put two steamed buns, and then filled a bowl full of small rape and respectfully brought it to Shen Chongming, smiling expectantly. This person is too powerful, if it weren't for him, how could he let a few of us go through the two heavens of ice and fire in such a short time, and it would be better to stay away from such a person in the future.
Shen Chongming also used them to sneak out the mastermind behind the scenes, Zhu Fatzi, and bask in front of Gao Gong, and he didn't think about what to really do with a few of their little minions, at this time, seeing the bowl brought to him, he took it with a slight smile, which can be regarded as a release of his suspicions.
The show was gone, and all the prisoners dispersed in a hurry, but their impression of Shen Chongming had changed greatly after this incident, if he hadn't made trouble like this today, I was afraid that everyone's meal expenses would have to be greedy for ink by Zhu Fatzi. And what Shen Chongming said just now was really wonderful, and it made all the prisoners feel proud in their hearts after hearing it, yes, the big guys are all the pillars of the loyal monarch and the country in the future, how can he be bullied by a small official who is not in the stream?
