Chapter 14: Meng Huilong

The big man opened the door of the rice shop and was startled. More than 200 brightly armored guards outside the door, how could he not be shocked. He wanted to close the door, but it was too late, and the officers and soldiers rushed in, and at the same time restrained the big man.

"Which yamen are you from? Do you know whose business it is? I want to die! After the big man was held down, he was not afraid, and he cried out loudly.

"Whose deal is this?" Hearing that this person was so arrogant, Yue Su couldn't help but ask lightly.

"This is ......" The big man raised his throat and wanted to show the font size, but as soon as he said these three words, he saw Meng Huade on the other side.

Governor Meng glanced at him vigorously, and the big man could see it clearly, and at this moment he also realized that something was wrong. The young man who asked stood between the prefect Meng Huade and the garrison Guo Yigang, don't look at the official uniform, but his status is obviously higher than that of the prefect. At present, in the entire Huaiqing City, there is only one official than Lord Meng Huade.

Dahan is not stupid, and immediately lowered his profile. "This ...... Be...... Buying and selling of our owners. ”

"Who are your hosts? Looking at your posture just now, your owner must be a person with a lot of background. Report your name to see if I recognize me. Yue Su said with a smile.

"Our owner's name is Meng Huilong, and he has no background, he is just a businessman." Don't look at the big man's voice, and because he has a face, when he says this, it seems to be provocative.

"A businessman? I can't see it. If you really did your duty, you wouldn't be so arrogant! Go in and search for me! ”

Yue Su gave an order, and the guards rushed directly inside, Yue Su walked up the steps with his head held high, and entered the backyard under the surrounding. Along the way, it is rare to hear the sound of scolding, no need to guess, Yue Su can also guess that it must be the nursing home in the rice shop.

The shouting soon stopped, and when Yue Su came to the rice warehouse in the backyard, he saw more than thirty men, all of whom were pressed to the ground, but each face showed dissatisfaction.

Yue Su turned his head to look at the young man and asked, "That's where you stole the rice?" ”

"Yes, sir. It's that rice barn. The young man said, pointing to the rice barn beside him.

There were a total of two rice warehouses in the courtyard, and Yue Su was not a polite person, so he immediately ordered: "Open the doors of these two rice warehouses for me!" ”

"Yes." The guards shouted, and did not go to the people in the rice shop to ask for the key, picked up the guy, and began to smash hard, and in a moment, the two gates were all opened. Both rice barns are stacked with dense sacks, like hills.

"See what's inside?" Yue Su ordered.

The sack was immediately torn apart, "Lord Hui, it contains grain." ”

"The headquarters has issued an order to requisition the grain and rice of the rice shops in the city, how can there be grain here?" Yue Su turned his head to look at Guo Yigang.

Guo Yigang was startled and replied cautiously: "My lord, the last general doesn't know, it may be that the officers and soldiers were negligent and forgot this place when they sealed it." ”

"Is that really the case? Isn't it clear how many rice shops there are in the city? Yue Su said, and looked at Meng Huade again, "I heard that the owner of this rice shop is the nephew of Lord Meng, I don't know if it?" ”

Seeing that he was picked out by Yue Su, Meng Huade didn't dare to hide it, and said timidly: "He is just a distant nephew of Xia Guan, and he usually has no contacts, and he never walks around. The matter of him opening a rice shop here was only heard by the lower officials not long ago, but he had never been there. ”

"You two are arguing cleanly." Yue Su said coldly: "Last night, this person went to the rice shop to steal rice, and found that the people from the rice shop had brought in a lot of grain. I don't know where their new grain came from. ”

"This ...... The lower officials don't know ......"

"The last general...... I don't know ......."

"Since you two don't know, the main ministry already knows. All of this food was smuggled from the food for disaster relief. Misappropriation of the imperial court's disaster relief grain, do you know what kind of crime this is? Yue Su asked angrily.

"Know, know......" Meng Huade and Guo Yigang replied in a low voice.

"It's good to know. If you wait for the ministry to find out, this matter has something to do with the two of you, and you will be the head of the other item. ”

Yue Su's words were extremely harsh, and when the two of them heard it, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground. The two of them stubbornly said: "Xia Guan (the last general), I don't know about it, and it has nothing to do with this matter. ”

"I hope so." Yue Su stretched out his hand and pointed to the big man who had just opened the door, and asked, "Where are your hosts now?" ”

Dahan had already seen that the signs were wrong, and he wanted not to say it, but he didn't have the guts, so he squeaked and said: "In, in....... may be...... ...... at home"

"Where's his house?" Yue Su asked fiercely.

"It's just ahead...... Pass...... Just two streets away, it's ......," the big man said truthfully.

"Jin Chan and Yin Zhu, you two lead fifty people, escort him to go, and bring their host to me."

"Subordinates obey."

Jin Chan and Yin Zhu agreed, turned around and wanted to take people away. At this time, I heard Yue Su add, "Remember, if there is resistance, kill it!" ”

"Yes!"

With this order, Jin Chan and the others were more confident, and escorted the big man out of the rice shop and went straight to Meng Huilong's mansion.

The subordinates of the Meng Mansion are usually used to being fierce in the city by relying on the strength of the master's family, but when they encounter officers and soldiers who are more fierce and vicious than them, they can only honestly submit to them.

Jin Chan and Yin Zhu quickly escorted Meng Huilong to the rice shop. The trembling Boss Meng came to Yue Su and quickly knelt on the ground, saying "The little people see the adults".

When he saw that his uncle Meng Huade was also present, he was reluctantly relieved.

Yue Su didn't let him get up, and asked coldly, "Meng Huilong, I don't know what your relationship is with Governor Meng?" ”

"Lord Meng is ......." Meng Huilong is also a delicate person, and while speaking, he looked up at Meng Huade's face. He also understood that the Governor must have said something in his abrupt question.

Yue Su understood what he meant, and shouted: "Hold him down, don't let him look up." ”

"Yes!" Jin Cicada stepped forward with an arrow and held Meng Huilong down.

But this time, Meng Huilong's heart also has some points, and she must not pull her uncle into the water. immediately said: "Although Lord Meng is Xiaomin's uncle, he has never interacted with each other and rarely meets. ”

After hearing this answer, Meng Huade breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said, this nephew is also smart.

How could Yue Su believe this, but he didn't debunk it, and then asked: "The headquarters has already ordered the whole city to seal down the rice shops and requisition grain. Why are all the rice shops in the city confiscated, but only you are not sealed here? ”

"This ...... Xiaomin really doesn't know ......"

Yue Su guessed that he would answer like this, and said with a smile: "You don't know, it's normal, it's just that the headquarters wants to ask you, since you don't know, why is the rice shop also closed." ”

"Back to the adult, Xiaomin just didn't know at the time, and later heard that Fulai Rice Shop, Yunsheng Rice Shop, and the big millet store in the city were all seized, and I was afraid that my rice store would also be blocked, so I simply closed the door, planning to prevaricate in the past." Meng Huilong was very sleek, and her answer was not leaky.

If this is investigated, at most it can be regarded as Guo Yigang's negligence, which is not a big deal.

Yue Su chuckled lightly and said, "It's human nature for you, but there is one thing that the Ministry still wants to ask." Yesterday, someone came to your rice shop to steal rice, but accidentally found that your man was transporting a large amount of grain and rice to the rice warehouse. ”

"This ...... It's a small people...... ...... shipped from out of town Intend...... I'm going to wait until the adults leave...... Open the door again to sell ......" Meng Huilong squeaked, and finally made up a statement.

"You said it was brought from out of town, but your man said it was brought from the relief grain. Which of you is lying, deceiving the Ministry? Yue Su asked indifferently.

"How dare Xiaomin do such a thing, someone must have framed Xiaomin, and I hope that the adults will learn from it. Indeed, these rice were brought by the small people from other places. "Misappropriation of disaster relief grain and rice, that is the crime of stealing the family and losing the head, where does Meng Huilong dare to admit it.

"You said it was transported from other places, and your guy said that it was transported from the disaster relief grain and rice, and you have your own opinions, but this is easy to do, and then the two sides confronted each other and determined who deceived the ministry, and the ministry and the ministry made other people's heads fall to the ground!"

After Yue Su finished speaking, he shouted loudly: "Yin Zhu stays, leads a hundred people, and temporarily seals this place." The others, all brought back! ”

Who is the owner of Meng Ji Rice Bank and who is his backstage, everyone knows now. Of course, the people around Mi Xing are also clear, and the people see that Mi Xing is sealed, and the boss, the nurse and so on are all taken away, and they are all very different, and they are talking about it.

The content of the discussion is nothing more than that the new governor is a good official who is the master of the people, and he is not afraid of offending people, and in order to help the people, he dares to seal up the rice shop of the prince and the uncle.

The people who had that good thing simply followed behind the guards, wanting to see the excitement.

Yue Su's guards swaggered all the way through the city, and they saw more and more people, and the people who followed the preaching before, and the people who heard about it were fried.

There are those who have nothing to do, and they immediately follow to see the excitement, and there are some, although there is something at hand, but they also want to see what Meng Ji Mixing has done, which provokes the governor to mobilize the people. As they came and went, more and more people followed, and by the time they returned to the governor's line, there were already thousands of them.

Yue Su saw that there were many onlookers, so he was not angry, but gave an order, allowing the people to follow him to see the excitement. This is good, the people are cheering thunderously.

Although Li Ji Mi Xing is a temporary line, but the facilities are also complete, the hall is changed into a public hall, the public case is placed in the center, the servants stand on both sides, and the position is set up, so that Guo Yigang and Meng Huade can sit down, and Yang Yishan prepares paper and pencil to record the confession. Li Yuanchen didn't leave because of this matter, he wanted to see the excitement and see how the future brother-in-law tried the case. So, Yue Su also asked someone to bring him a chair.

The dragon, the tiger, and the dog were put in the left hand, so that Jin Cicada took the sword of Shang Fang, and stood beside him, Yue Su also put on the official uniform, and now he is a second-grade master, and the complement of the official uniform is a gorgeous golden chicken.

The people watched from outside the hall, and there were guards pulling ropes, and they were not allowed to cross the line. After Yue Sugong's case, he sat down, knocked the startling wood first, followed by a "mighty" sound left and right, and Meng Huilong and other cadres were all escorted to the hall and knelt down.

"Grass people wait to meet adults......"

Yue Su's face sank like water, glanced down, and finally pointed to the young man and said, "What is your name and where do you live?" ”

"Zhu Xiaobao, I live on Buffalo Street in Xicheng." The young man replied tremblingly.

"You will tell you carefully about the rice theft last night, from beginning to end, and then sign and sign it. Go home first and take care of your wife. "Yue Su is very humane, don't look at the decisiveness of killing and punishment in Pingyue, but that is only for the most vicious people who violate the law of the country.

"Thank you, sir." Zhu Xiaobao said what he had said outside the line before, and the content was much more detailed than last time.

Yue Su asked him to sign and draw the pledge first, and then said: "The grain and rice you stole will be left here as evidence in court." Tieqiu, go to our storehouse, take two liters of rice, and give him three taels of silver, and then send an errand to go home with him, remember his dwelling, and if necessary, summon him again. As for stealing rice, I will remember that you have a reason for it, and your feelings are pitiful, and it is found that the illegal businessmen stole grain and rice for disaster relief, and they have contributed to the imperial court, and the merits and demerits are offset by each other, and they will not be investigated. ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, ......" Zhu Xiaobao cried excitedly when he heard that Yue Su not only did not punish him, but also gave rice and silver, and kept kowtowing.

After sending Zhu Xiaobao away, Yue Su looked at the others, "Meng Huilong, Shicai is in the rice shop, you said that the grain that was transported in last night was transported from other places." Now this ministry will ask you one last time, where did the grain come from? ”

"Back to your words...... It was indeed a ...... transported from other places" When he arrived at the hall, seeing Yue Su sitting on it majestically, Meng Huilong was furious. But at this point, it can only be stiff.

"Good! This is what you said, and once it is found to be untrue, the ministry will take your head. After speaking, Yue Su pointed to the leader of the man who had chased the young man outside the line before, and said loudly: "Who is your surname, and what kind of errand are you doing in Mengji Rice Shop?" ”

"Xiaomin's surname is Liu, his name is Liu Cong, he is a nurse in Mixingli, and he has always been responsible for escorting grain." The leader replied tremblingly.

"Liu Cong!" Yue Su nodded, and stretched out his hand at Jin Cicada, who immediately understood and handed Shang Fang's sword to Yue Su. Yue Su hugged the sword of Shang Fang and said loudly: "As a messenger, the headquarters of the courtyard is ordered by the emperor to patrol Henan, and the sword of Shang Fang is in his hand. Liu Cong, today you said to the Ministry that the grain that was transported into the Meng Ji Rice Bank last night was moved from the disaster relief grain, is this true? If it is not true, it is to deceive the Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of Courtyard is patrolling the heavens on behalf of me, which is equivalent to deceiving the current emperor. This crime of deceiving the king will be beheaded all over the house! Come on, lift the dog's head! ”
