Liu Ziguang is a person who protects the short, but this time it is obviously his own kitten that has the upper hand, so he does not hold Cao Zhan responsible, anyway, the fall of the Cao family is a recent thing, and he is not in a hurry to pass the night so peacefully, and no one in the Cao family came to ask for an explanation, the entire Grand View Garden is quiet, only a bright moon in the sky, the moonlight is sprinkled on the sleeping flowers and trees, and the autumn insects are chirping and singing, a peaceful night scene.

It's as if nothing was born at all. Early the next morning, Cao Yin sent someone to ask Lord Qincha to inspect the Suzhou Weaving Bureau, Suzhou Weaving Bureau is one of the three bureaus under the jurisdiction of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, and it is also the largest bureau, with tens of thousands of craftsmen, the chief of the weaving bureau is called the official, and it is also a real fat shortage, the official of the Suzhou Bureau is none other than Cao Yin's son Cao Hao, a middle-aged man about forty years old, at this time, the father and son have changed into black gauze and red robes, smiling in the weaving department yamen waiting for the Lord Qincha, but the eyes of the two are a little puffy, the smile is also a little stiff, I am afraid that I did not sleep well last night。

Because it was an official inspection, Liu Ziguang also changed into a serious red robe of the unicorn complement, did not ride a horse and sat in a sedan chair with eight lifts, and the group went straight to the weaving and dyeing bureau under the Suzhou Weaving Bureau from the yamen of the Weaving Department.

Weaving and dyeing Bureau, also known as the North Bureau, is a large factory under the Suzhou Weaving Bureau, as the name suggests, the factory takes into account the responsibilities of textile and printing and dyeing, the inspection team came to the gate of the North Bureau, a large number of craftsmen dressed in neat white cloth overalls lined up at the door to welcome Cao Yin, father and son in front of the way, leading Liu Ziguang in, only to see that all the machinery and equipment in the factory are placed in an orderly manner, the workers are also working in an orderly manner, all kinds of colors of satin cloth, the whole horse is hung in the middle of the pole, the sun shines down, the color is changed, the small swimming pool is like a spacious dyeing pool is red, blue and yellow fuel, these are the basic tones, if you want to get a more complex color, you can achieve it by multiple bleaching and dyeing, such as blueColor plus yellow can get green, red plus yellow can get orange, it seems that the craftsmen have mastered the technique of color matching technology.

When the craftsmen saw the adults coming to inspect, they all respectfully stopped the work in hand, knelt down and kowtowed, and after a visit, Lord Qincha was invited to the public court to serve tea, and talked about some printing and dyeing things casually.

The two workers looked ruddy, knelt on the ground, and behad appropriately, answering each other fluently. When Liu Ziguang asked how much rations they could receive in a month, whether it was enough to support their families, the two immediately talked endlessly about the benefits of weaving yamen, under their description, the craftsmen of Jiangnan weaving are simply flowers under the socialist system, not only can receive 60 catties of rations per person per month, but also an allowance of two taels of silver, in addition, the factory also wears clothes like this white cotton overalls, two sets of cotton overalls a year, and cotton jackets in winter, in addition to feeding a family, it can also help a few poor relatives, said later, a craftsman's eyebrows fluttered, saying that Lord Tuo Cao's blessing during the New Year, he was ready to add a canopy boat for his son to run transportation, and the other did not show weakness, saying that the family relied on his allowance alreadyThree large tiled houses were built in the countryside.

"Lord Cao is really a virtuous person, and his official admires him." After the two workers retreated, Liu Ziguang praised Cao Yin, and the little old man hurriedly said a few words modestly, and asked his son to take out the production ledger of the Weaving Bureau to Liu Ziguang to see, roughly every year, every year, the growth rate of output and the like, Liu Ziguang rolled his eyes and put him down, but people who have worked in the account room of the iron factory know that the account book is the easiest to fake, and there is no difference between looking at this thing and not looking at it.

"This official is ordered to inspect Jiangnan and take charge of the overall situation, and the work of auditing the account book will be handed over to the accompanying household officials. Liu Ziguang said.

"What Lord Qincha said is very true, so let's go to the General Weaving Bureau for a while." Cao Yin readily agreed.

The group walked out of the weaving and dyeing bureau and was just about to board the sedan chair, when suddenly a person rushed in the distance, several officials of Suzhou Prefecture wanted to stop him, but they were all knocked open by him, and they were about to be rushed to the front by him, Cao Yin's guards all pulled out the steel knives, Liu Ziguang's guards also pulled out short muskets and aimed at that person, the last assassin blocked the train, and it has not yet been found out who did it, and the guards of the Red Shirt Regiment dare not be sloppy in the slightest.

At the moment when the guards were about to shoot, the man was finally pounced on by three or four officials, pressed under him, he had great strength, and actually lifted it hard, and knocked several men on his body to the ground, and tried to rush to this side again, but he didn't run a single step, was caught and fell to the ground again, and saw more officials rushing over, the man knew that he couldn't rush, and shouted loudly: "Lord Qincha, the grass people are wronged!" ”

"Hurry up and drag the general out, what grievances do you have to let him go to Suzhou Mansion to disturb Lord Qincha, it's a capital crime." Cao Yin scolded his subordinates while peeking at Liu Ziguang's reaction.

Someone complained in the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, that must be inseparable from Jiangnan Weaving, Liu Ziguang was worried that he couldn't find a suitable breakthrough, and now it was a godsend, he immediately ordered the guards to bring the person who shouted injustice.

Cao Yin's face immediately became ugly, and it looked like he had leaked this Diao Min outside, if Lord Qincha grabbed this pigtail, it would be ugly, although it was not a big crime, but it would be a trouble after all.

Liu Ziguang didn't care about the ugly faces of the Cao family's father and son, and went straight back to the public court of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, raised the public seat, and asked people to bring the people who shouted grievances to the court to try in person, and the Cao family's father and son had no choice but to accompany the trial.

"What is your name?" Who is being sued? Liu Ziguang sat on top of the court, but he also had a bit of official authority.

"The villain's surname is Hua Mingcan, he is a second-class craftsman of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, and the villain sued Cao Yin of the Jiangnan Weaving Department for embezzling public funds and embezzling the rations of the craftsman; Second, he sued the Suzhou Weaving Bureau, Cao Hao, instructed the evil slave to cut off my father's arm, and the third sued the little master of Caofu, Cao Zhan**, my sister-in-law, causing her to commit suicide by hanging from the beam, one corpse and two lives. I also hope that the master of the blue sky will be the master of the small people! After the man finished speaking in one breath, he knocked his head on the ground more than a dozen times, until the floor tiles were shattered, and a bloody moment on his forehead was amazing.

There is such a fierce material, and the three generations of the Cao family have been sued in one go, this matter is a problem, Liu Ziguang is overjoyed, but his face is as calm as autumn water, the weaving and dyeing bureau is not according to the judge's seat, there is no surprise on the bench, playing the prop of the sunny day, Liu Ziguang had no choice but to pick up a side of the inkstone, slapped it on the table, and shouted coldly: "Bold firecracker, do you know what the crime of falsely accusing the court official is?" It's a capital offense! The official will now give you a quarter of an hour to state that if what he says is true, he will deal with it impartially, and if you talk nonsense, then you will die. The firecracker knocked again: "Xie Qingtian, the old man and the villain just want to be able to avenge their grievances, and put their lives out of the way, this Cao family father and son have been embezzling the rations of our artisan households, the original rules set by the imperial court are that each craftsman has sixty catties of grain per month, but we have never received the full amount, even if we have received, only less than half of the old grain, the last half a year is even more unbearable, the craftsmen can only receive less than thirty percent of the rations, the family can only drink porridge every day, poor my father, as a master craftsman of the weaving and dyeing bureau, led the way for everyone to complain, the result was Cao Hao, the dog official, accused of malicious wages, and also instructed the evil slave to cut off the old man's arm, my father has contributed countless efforts to the weaving and dyeing bureau throughout his life, improved the loom, and created dyes, but I didn't expect it to fall in the endIt has to end like this; And my sister Hua Zhu, because the family can't open the pot, so she had to be sent to Cao Mansion as a slave, half a year ago, my sister was kicked out by Cao Mansion, saying that she was unruly and seduced the little master, in fact, she was raped by the evil young Cao of Cao Mansion, and finally my sister committed suicide by hanging the beam to show her innocence, and when she died, the child in her belly had already been formed. My mother is crying blind for this, the original washing work can not be done, and now the surname Cao is going to drive me out of the factory, this is forcing our family to die, ah......" Hua Pao said that he was wearing a tattered flower dress, his face was vegetable colored, his head was also full of greasy, his feet did not even have shoes, and his hands were also dyed with color, and his skin was full of ulcers.

Such a tragedy was really sad for the listeners, and the people who heard it were sad, and those Suzhou Mansion officials who had a little conscience secretly turned their faces away and wept, and the guards of the Red Shirt Regiment stared angrily at the Cao family's father and son, as if they were going to swallow them alive.

"Is what Master Cao, the craftsman, said true?" Liu Ziguang asked with a sneer. At this time, he already had the bottom in his heart, and the accusation made by this craftsman surnamed Hua may only be the tip of the iceberg, if he digs deeper, I am afraid there will be more surprises waiting for everyone.
