Ending the conversation with Cai He, Fang Yun immediately ordered his private soldiers to inspect the granary to avoid problems.

Buying old grain to replace new grain and earning the difference in price is a common means for treasury envoys, and even more so, they directly resell a large amount of grain and burn it before inspection.

Although the staff members who first arrived personally participated in the handover, Ji Zhibai did not leave the slightest problem, but now it is necessary to re-inspect the grain depot.

When he arrived at the county office, Fang Yun sat on the lobby and did not immediately ascend to the hall, but closed his eyes to recuperate.

In one corner of the lobby, a large number of paperwork and ledgers are piled up.

Ao Huang floated in mid-air and asked curiously, "Fang Yun, how dare you arrest so many owners? Are you sure they all have problems?"

Fang Yun said casually: "There must be wrongs for killing them all, but if you line up and kill one by one, there will definitely be fish that slip through the net." ”

Ao Huang felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and exclaimed: "The officials of Ning'an County have been eroded so much, why can they still run?"

Fang Yun sneered: "Those high-ranking officials boast that it is their credit, they are meritorious, but the credit is not great. The reason why Ning'an County is still running well is that first, it relies on the border army to protect the country and defend the land, second, the people of Jingguo are hardworking and kind, and the people who make trouble are a minority after all, and third, those grassroots errand officers are working hard, and the final credit can be given to those officials. ”

"You have a point. You really have a bad stomach, there is no plaintiff, there is no evidence of guilt, and I am afraid that the accounts of some of the most problematic people have already been prepared before you take office, so naturally you can only use interviews, not arraignments. Still, I always felt like killing those seven people was too much. ”

Fang Yundao: "Jingguo's law clearly stipulates that the use of force against officials with documents in hand can be killed on the spot in order to avoid accidentally injuring the people in downtown areas or places with many civilians. Add to that the incitement of workers, and the crime is compounded. Think about it. They dare to fight even officials, what else do they dare not do?"

"That's just as well. Some people rely on their relationship with the royal family and the family, and they are used to being domineering, and they completely forget the royal law, and they are looking for death by themselves, so no one else is to blame. One of the Xiucai actually wrote "Yi Shui Song" in front of the official, if he was not killed on the spot, in case he suddenly went crazy, I don't know how many people would die. However, you can't get rid of the name of this cool official anyway. ”

Fang Yun looked at the clear blue sky outside the gate. Said slowly: "If I am given enough time, I will use the gentlest means to improve, but time is running out." I don't have that much time to resolve one contradiction after another, and I don't have time to reason with them one by one. I can only sue them by lawful means, what should be done and what should not be done!

Ao Huang was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "You don't need to carry so much. ”

"I just want to do as much as I can. Fang Yundao.

"Okay. Why don't you interview them now?"

"Wait, now they don't think enough. They don't have enough fear and anxiety. Fang Yun is flat and stable.

"That's right. The question now is how to find the evidence of the innocence of those owners, and if there is no conclusive evidence, where will they recruit them. Ao Huang said.

Fang Yundao: "These days, I have taken a quick look at the documents and account books within half a year. Keep it all in your head, and you'll find a lot of problems, and you'll know when the time comes. ”

"Okay!" Ao Huang said, flying over the paperwork and ledgers, and took out a random ledger to look through. After only reading a dozen pages, I felt dizzy.

"What the hell is this, it hurts to see the dragon brain! It's not like Benlong hasn't learned the Thirteen Classics. But what are these? Don't look at them!" Ao Huang said, moving away from the papers.

After waiting for an hour, Fang Yun invited the owner of the flower workshop.

The owner was a wooden-faced man with a calm look on his face, dressed in a gorgeous silk robe. He used his right hand to constantly stroke a piece of dragon and phoenix jade pendant on his waist, Fang Yun took a closer look, and realized that the jade pendant was not ordinary, thinking of the origin of this owner, he knew it in his heart.

"Is it Zhao Yong?"

Zhao Yong bowed his hand to Fang Yun and said, "Xiaguan Zhao Yong, I have seen Lord Fang!" A few days ago, Xiaguan passed a letter to the little county king of Qingyang Palace, and the little county king once said that he must listen to the words of the county commander and never embarrass the county commander. After all, Xia Guan is the surname Zhao given by the old prince, so he naturally has to listen to the words of the little county king. Therefore, the county commander said that he wanted to talk, but the lower officials did not resist at all and came obediently. ”

Ao Huang snorted lightly, and even he could see that this Zhao Yong was obedient on the surface, but in fact he was not.

Zhao Yong has no rank or rank, but he claims to be a lower official, so he naturally has a knighthood, even if it is low, he is also an official. Zhao Yong said that he was given the surname by the king of Qingyang, and his status was naturally superior. He also said that he passed the book with the little county king, which was to show that he had a deep relationship with the little county king, and it was impossible for ordinary people to pass the book directly with the little county king.

Fang Yun didn't seem to hear it, and asked: "On the fifteenth day of the lunar month last year, it was the dry period of the Yishui River, and you bought 100,000 catties of lint from elsewhere on the grounds that the ginning workshop was slow to gin, and then sent it to the elastic flower workshop to make wadding cotton and use it to make quilts. One pound and sixteen taels, a good quilt uses at least five pounds of cotton, and these 100,000 pounds of cotton can probably be used as 20,000 cotton tires for quilts.

Zhao Yong was stunned for a moment, then folded his fingers and counted for a while before saying, "What the county commander said is true." ”

Ao Huang glanced at Zhao Yong, Fang Yun felt that it was normal, the mathematics of the Shengyuan Continent had not been particularly valued, Zhao Yong was neither an account room, nor a literary position, so he naturally needed to calculate for a long time at first glance.

What's more, Zhao Yong has to think about other things.

Fang Yundao: "There are 800 people in the flower workshop, and they can play more than 12,000 catties of cotton a day, and it took eight days to complete the 100,000 catties of cotton, am I right?"

"I don't remember much about this, but 100,000 catties of lint do need to be played for about eight days. Zhao Yong said.

Fang Yun added: "It takes about eight days when all 800 people are there. If there are only 300 people, how many days will it take? I will calculate that 800 people will play 12,000 catties a day, then 300 people will play 4,500 catties a day, and it will take about 22 days to play 100,000 catties of cotton. Am I right?"

Zhao Yong stayed where he was, looking at Fang Yun directly, unable to say a word.

Fang Yun suddenly slapped the shocked wood and said: "Zhao Yong! This official asks you, the documents of the Danhua Workshop are clearly written, from the beginning of the lunar month, gradually some workers go home for the New Year during the winter break, and by the 15th day of the lunar month, there are less than 300 people in the Danhua Workshop! At the beginning of the 23rd year of the lunar month, there are less than 100 people every day! You sue the official how such a scarce worker can finish playing 100,000 catties of cotton in eight days! Could it be that you have crossed the long river of history and entered the future, and borrowed the wooden drum and flower machine that Bensheng had just developed?"

Ao Huang suddenly realized when he heard this, it seems that Zhao Yong made 100,000 catties of bad quality or aged wadding, and then sold it to the elastic flower workshop managed by him at the price of good lint, and then, following a false manufacturing process on the books, and then selling it at the price of high-quality wadding, he earned the difference.

Since the process is fake, it is necessary to pick the days of under-employment as false dates, because the days of full-time production are all producing real cotton, which has been recorded in the accounts.

It is impossible for ordinary people to check other documents, and there will inevitably be ignorance, but Fang Yun can see the trickiness at a glance. (To be continued......)
