Chapter 273 - Audit (3)
This scene directly made the other prisoners in the cell boil, and the prisoner who was sentenced to 20 years in prison could still be released on the spot, what is the situation? In a trance, they seemed to see hope. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After releasing the prisoner in the cell, Luo Yi walked forward again and went to find the nineteen people that the man had just mentioned.
"My lord, my lord... I was locked up for false accounting. ”
"My lord, so am I..."
.........
Several of the prisoners cried out in their cells, their eyes looking antique.
Luo Yi crossed his waist, chuckled twice, stepped forward to find a prisoner and asked, "What kind of false accounts have you done?" ”
The man said: "Back to my lord, the little one used to be a county order, and he embezzled more than 50,000 taels of silver by making false accounts. ”
"Okay."
Luo Yi walked forward for a while and asked another person.
"Back to the adult, the younger one has been the master of Yongzhou Mansion, and he has hidden false accounts for several years, and embezzled more than 200,000 taels."
Luo Yi laughed, they are all talents, there are these experts who make a move, and they don't have to worry about finding out the fake accounts of Yangzhou Mansion, there is a saying about how to say that those who come have a specialization, what kind of people do what kind of things, everyone is an expert, whether it is a fake account, it can be seen at a glance.
After the appraisal, Luo Yi said to Wu Shengqing: "Lord Changshi, I will take all these people away, you open the door." ”
Wu Shengqing was unwilling, all kinds of prevarication, but Luo Yi also said that he was willing to make a note on the spot, if something happened to him because of the release of the prisoner, everything could be pushed on his head, it was really not possible, it was okay to take Cheng Yanjin's token away and use it as collateral for the time being.
Of course, this is just a casual remark by Luo Yi, Cheng Biting Jin's token is not something that anyone dares to take.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Wu Shengqing had no quibbles.
After hesitating for a long time, Wu Shengqing finally agreed, released a total of about thirty prisoners in the cell, and followed Luo Yi to check the accounts.
Half an hour later.
Luo Yi, Zhao Wenyong, and Wu Shengqing left the cell and walked to the lobby of Yangzhou Mansion with thirty-three prisoners, each with iron chains on their feet and hands, and followed Luo Yi closely under the escort of the officials.
"Lord Wu, it's none of your business here."
"That's... Then the next official retired. ”
After Wu Shengqing left, Luo Yi walked to the top and sat down, asked the officials in the hall to also bring more than 30 tables and stools, and then asked all the prisoners to sit down.
Luo Yi said with a smile: "Everyone, please come today, is to let you check the accounts in this box, which are the salt merchants in Yangzhou who have paid the salt tax of the imperial court in the past three years, I believe that they have done a good job of fake accounts, but they will not be able to hide from your eyes, you are all experts in making fake accounts here, as long as you can find one in it, I will show the emperor, on the grounds that you have made great contributions, reduce the sentence by one year, that is, if you can find dozens of them, then you don't have to go to jail anymore, if you find more, You can also make meritorious contributions, and I will give rewards as appropriate, such as... If you find one, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. ”
Zhao Wenxian said on the side: "This is a rare opportunity, you can only encounter such a once in your life, if you don't grasp it well, you will stay in the cell forever." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone present laughed, as Zhao Wenxian said, it is indeed a rare opportunity, and it must be grasped well.
"Don't worry, my lord, we will do our best."
"Such a great opportunity, haha..."
"I've got to get out of my cell right away..."
........
Everyone is also very confident, and they have the means to check the accounts, because they used to make false accounts, and no detail, even a small mistake, could hide from them.
"But..."
Luo Yi said: "You have been locked up for several years, even more than ten years, and you have not eaten a good meal, how can you have the strength to do things, so before doing things, I want to invite you to have a meal first, and when you are full, then check the accounts carefully." Don't worry, there is everything, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, I promise you have never eaten in your life. ”
As he spoke, Luo Yi glanced at Zhao Wenxian next to him and motioned for him to handle the matter.
"Thank you, sir, we... We must check carefully and live up to the expectations of adults. ”
"Yes, the adults do this to us, even if we risk our lives, we have to repay the adults."
Luo Yi said: "You have to be able to check the accounts, even if it is one or two, it is the best reward for me." ”
Immediately afterwards, everyone stayed in the lobby and waited, waiting for Zhao Wenxian to bring back the food, and taking advantage of this time period, everyone was not idle, they got up one after another, took out dozens of account books from the box, and put the abacus away, ready to settle the accounts.
After everyone was ready, Zhao Wenxian also came back, he went to the best restaurant in Yangzhou City, spent more than two hundred taels of silver, and bought forty or fifty people's meals, all of which were top-notch, chicken, duck, fish, meat, everything.
As soon as the meal arrived, all the prisoners in the hall went crazy, and they didn't care about etiquette, they didn't even want chopsticks, they just grabbed them with their hands, and ate whatever they grabbed, regardless of whether it was food or vegetables.
In addition to the thirty-three points given to the prisoners, there were still eight copies left, and Luo Yi asked the four officials outside the hall to take a few points, and the remaining three shares, Luo Yi, Zhao Wenyong, and Zhao Wenxian each took one share.
The meals are really good, and they are all up to the level of last night's post house hospitality. Not to mention that the prisoners have never eaten it, even Luo Yi, Zhao Wenxian, and Zhao Wenyong rarely eat it.
Everyone came and went, and they all devoured it.
Half an hour later.
After the meal was eaten, I packed up my things and got ready to start settling accounts.
But just as everyone picked up the abacus and was about to start concentrating, a small accident happened, and I saw two of the prisoners fall to the ground holding their stomachs, spitting blood.
Luo Yi looked startled, and quickly got up and ran over: "What's wrong?" What's wrong with you guys? ”
"Back... Back to adults, meals... Poisonous.... ”
"Huh? Poisonous? ”
At the same time, two more prisoners next to him fell down, clutching their stomachs and screaming in pain, and their mouths kept spitting blood.
Luo Yi didn't dare to slack off, grabbed the arm of one of the prisoners with one hand, and activated the medical function.
"Toot! Medical function activation.... ”
In just five breaths, the prisoner who was screaming just now, because Luo Yi touched his hand, he actually got better, and he no longer vomited blood, and his face looked much better.
However, just when Luo Yi was about to heal the second person, Luo Yi suddenly felt pain in his abdomen, and his heart was like a knife, as if he was being tortured by a thousand knives.
Before Luo Yi could start the treatment, the medical function was automatically turned on to eliminate toxins for himself.
"Ahh Hurt.... Nearby, someone fell down again.
Zhao Wenxian and Zhao Wenyong were already scared stupid, and they also ate, so naturally they would not be an exception, but because their internal strength was strong, the time of poisoning was relatively late.
