"The county magistrate, he can't say it, the folk girl helped him and said that Gu Pingyong went to the town to get the silver by himself, and when he came back, he said that each person would give three taels of silver, and some families in the village had already built houses by themselves, so he wouldn't give the silver to these people."

"Our family is also one of them, we used to work hard to repair the house, because we were afraid that there would be no place to live, and when we lived in a straw shed during the autumn harvest, there was no place to store food, so we worked hard to build the house."

"Everyone's family has emptied their family funds and suffered heavy losses, but when it came time to distribute the disaster silver, Gu Pingyong was so eccentric, and gave the disaster silver that belonged to us to others, the eldest lord is in charge, if we do this, we can't even eat, and the disaster relief affairs are busy, if it weren't for the injustice of this matter, the people's family would never go to the town to find the yamen to be the master, and ask the eldest lord to make the decision for the villagers."

After finishing speaking, she kowtowed directly, this is the parent official, and the reputation is good, and it is not a loss to kneel him.

After Siqi finished speaking, the Lin family knelt down, Lin Dezheng took the lead and kowtowed, and the others followed, "Ask the eldest master to make decisions for the grass people." ”

Seeing this, the others also knelt down one after another, these are all people from Gu Pingzhang and the Lin family's side, "Ask the eldest master to make the decision for the grass people." ”

And the people on Gu Pingyong's side, they don't know what to do at this time, they also know in their hearts that they must be unable to quarrel, and this silver is also going to be taken out, and they feel a pity in their hearts, but there is no way, is it possible to do it against the official? They don't have the guts.

Gu Pingyong caused all the troubles, he solved it himself, they were only responsible for taking out the extra silver, and it had nothing to do with them.

The only thing I'm afraid of now is that the yamen is holding on to what they just fought, and if one person hits ten boards, then there is no need to work.

Although Wu Zhixian already knew about this matter, after hearing it again at this time, he still felt very angry, and asked with his eyes wide, "Gu Pingyong, this official will ask you, is this matter true or false?" If you have a lie, the official will beat you until your skin is open. ”

Gu Pingyong's body shrank, where did he dare to tell lies? kowtowed a few times on the ground, "My lord, the grass people know the guilt, the grass people know the guilt, the grass people are just unhappy for the other villagers, and they will make this decision if they think about it for a while, and I hope that the adults will forgive the grass people." ”

Lin Dezheng said on the side, "My lord, he is clearly deliberate, if he is really unhappy with others, he can tell the facts, if so, everyone will discuss and help each other, but Gu Pingyong did not say a word of truth at all, only said that this was an arrangement from above, saying that the yamen would not give us silver, and he was clearly selfish." ”

Of course, it is not easy for the people of the Gu family to talk about this matter, in the end they are still related, so the Lin family came.

Lin Changyuan followed up and said, "Lord Zhixian, according to the population of Tongxin Village, these silver will be distributed according to the method Gu Pingyong said, and there will be some left in the end, he did not explain to the villagers what this silver is for, the grass people suspect that he wants to take it for himself, and I hope that the adults will find out the truth and give the villagers justice." ”

Wu Zhixian understood, nodded, raised his hand and said, "You all get up, this official already knows about this matter, and he has his own plans in his heart, you can rest assured, this official is the parent official of Zhiyang County, and he will definitely make decisions for the people." ”

"Master Xie." Linde was leading everyone to kowtow again, and then got up from the ground.

Lin Changfu and Siqi also returned to their side, Xuanshi pulled La Siqi's hand, and seeing that everyone didn't pay attention to this, he asked her in a low voice, "Qi'er is really good, does his knee hurt?" Mother feels sorry for you. ”

Siqi smiled slightly and whispered, "Don't worry, mother, this pain is nothing, as long as you can get the silver back for everyone." ”

Now she is very happy in her heart, but she didn't run in vain, who knew that the county magistrate was coming, it seemed that he attached great importance to disaster relief, Gu Pingyong was really brainless, and hit the muzzle of the gun at this time.

Wu Zhixian followed, probably because he was afraid that something would go wrong with the disaster relief matter, wasn't this what he was afraid of? I didn't expect him to be caught.

Wu Zhixian looked at Gu Pingyong and was extremely angry, "The matter has come to this point, what else do you have to say, this matter is your own doing, but you still have accomplices?" ”

Gu Pingyong was speechless, Gu Chao and Gu Zeliang were next to him, and his heart was very weak at this time, and he knew that he had just slipped away.

Gu Pingyong naturally didn't speak, and someone on the side said, "Lord Zhixian, the two people next to him are his accomplices, and they all said so just now." ”

As soon as they heard this, Gu Chao and Gu Zeliang's family members in the crowd were eager to tear that person's mouth apart, could they say this casually?

Gu Pingyong has already taken care of a big matter, is it possible that the people in their family will also be disposed of? It's all from the same village, why is this mind so vicious?

The two families glared at the man, and the man didn't care, glared back, and whispered, "How is it?" Why don't they know that they are afraid when they lie, but now they know that they are afraid, you star, you stare at me and still say the same. ”

Now that the magistrates have come to the village, they have the upper hand on their side, who is afraid of them?

Anyway, the county magistrate will call the shots for them, even if they have to be beaten later, they are not afraid, they will be beaten, who is unhappy if they seek justice? It's their side that is ashamed, and they didn't take the money, and they were beaten by the board.

Wu Zhixian looked at Gu Chao and Gu Zeliang again, "You two are accomplices?" Now this official also gives you a chance to explain the truth of the matter clearly, if it is true, this official can deal with it lightly, if it is hard-mouthed, don't blame this official for being polite. ”

If ordinary people say this, Gu Chao and Gu Zeliang really don't have to be afraid, anyway, they can say whatever they want, and if they don't admit it, can they really do something to them?

But now this person in front of him is different, that is the county magistrate, the biggest official in the county, who dares to lie in front of him?

If they are thrown into prison and squatted for the rest of their lives, this life will be completely over, who has the courage to do this?

Even if they had already discussed it with Gu Pingyong before, and Gu Pingyong was on the side at this moment, the two of them didn't dare to be stubborn, and as soon as Wu Zhixian was scared, he immediately told the truth.

The two of them kowtowed and admitted their mistakes, and explained things clearly, including how they discussed and how to divide the silver, of course, they had to put all the fault on Gu Pingyong, and by the way, they also took out all the silver hidden in their arms.

"The county master, the grass people know their mistakes, the grass people know their mistakes, and they will never dare to do it again."
