Chapter 90 Officials protect each other
"Duanmu Shadow Owl, you accompany me to the county mansion!" Mu Yanze said to Duanmu Shadow Owl, who was still sitting at the table eating steamed buns. Duanmu Shadow Owl stood up, patted the crumbs of his clothes, and said, "Let's go!" ”
The two came to the prefectural office
"Welcome to the six princes, come to the small county!" Seeing that Mu Yanze was coming, Liu Shang, the county magistrate, hurriedly sat up from the chair and greeted him. Mu Yanze frowned and said, "You know me?" ”
The county magistrate gave Mu Yanze a salute before saying: "One of my nephews is a pioneer in the military camp and has been on the battlefield with the six princes for a long time, and the nephew of the lower official often mentions your name in front of the lower officials!" Xia Guan naturally knows! ”
"Hmm!" Mu Yanze nodded, and took a look at this county mansion, it was really shabby! The area is not large, there is only one room and one guest room, there is no family in the house, and the dishes on the table of the county magistrate are even less pitiful, some pickles and a bowl of rice soup! Moreover, the rice in the rice soup is also pitiful!
"The life of the county magistrate is really poor, and he can't even afford to hire a subordinate, what about the money that the court gave you?" Mu Yanze said. Liu Shang once again respectfully saluted Mu Yanze, and said: "Back to the sixth prince, the court is very good to the lower officials, and the lower officials have donated all the money issued by the court to the people who can't eat!" ”
Mu Yanze nodded with satisfaction: "There are not many clean officials like you anymore!" That's what you eat every day? Mu Yanze pointed to the food on the table, and Liu Shang said embarrassedly: "Let the sixth prince smile, hey, look at the memory of the lower official, he hasn't poured tea for the sixth prince, the sixth prince, please wait a while, the lower official will go make tea!" ”
"No need, this king will ask you a few things when he comes here, and I'll leave after asking!" Mu Yanze called Liu Shang, who was going to make tea, back, and Liu Shang said: "What does the sixth prince want to ask, just ask!" The lower official must answer truthfully! ”
Mu Yanze walked to the chair and sat down, and said, "My lord, do you know this Ruan Yuanwai of Chongde County?" ”
"Ruan Yuanwai? Ruan Yuan's foreign name is Ruan Le, and he originally had two sons under his knees, but a serious illness took the life of his eldest son, and now only the youngest son Ruan Qinghao is left! Liu Shang replied honestly, Mu Yanze probably understood the situation in his heart, this little son relied on himself to be an only child and did whatever he wanted, no wonder he would arrest Ellie!
"What about Ruan Le's personality?" Duanmu Shadow Owl asked, and Liu Shang said: "Ruan Le is greedy by nature and often robs the people of food and silver, so his youngest son also inherited his character and often robbed the people's daughters on the street!" ”
Mu Yanze raised his eyebrows and said, "You are the county magistrate of Chongde County, don't you care?" ”
"The sixth prince forgives the sin, the lower official has also said that Ruan Le many times, but he does not listen to persuasion, Ruan Le's maiden father-in-law is Lord Duwei, and the lower official does not dare to have a superficial conflict with Ruan Le!" Liu Shang knelt on the ground and begged for Mu Yanze's forgiveness!
"Lord County Commander, the people are still waiting for you to administer justice for them, you are so indulgent Ruan Le to act recklessly, even if you donate more money for the people, Ruan Le will still put this money in his own pocket! This king can only persuade here, and for the rest, I hope that the county magistrate will consider it carefully! ”
After listening to Mu Yanze's words, Liu Shang fell into deep thought!
After a general understanding of the situation, Mu Yanze and Duanmu Shadow Owl left the county mansion.
"I thought that this county commander was in league with Ruan Le, but it turned out that this county magistrate was afraid that this lord would take off his black gauze hat!" Duanmu Shadow Owl said.
Mu Yanze looked at the people on the street, all of them were skinny and skinny, their faces were gray, and they were very reluctant in their hearts! He stopped and said, "Let's go to Nguyen's house!" ”
Inside Nguyen Mansion
Ruan Qinghao sat up from the bed with difficulty, touched his neck, and a tingling sensation came, and the consciousness in his mind told him that he had just been knocked unconscious!
Hey?! Where does Little Beauty go? Ruan Qinghao looked inside the room, but he didn't see Ai Li's figure, and shouted loudly: "Someone! A subordinate hurriedly walked in and said respectfully, "Young Master, what are your orders?" ”
"Bastards, what about people? Where did Little Beauty go? Yes! Ruan Qinghao twisted his neck because he spoke too loudly, and screamed in pain!
The subordinate glanced at Ruan Qinghao and said, "Young Master, didn't you just tell us not to come in without your orders?" Ruan Qinghao was so angry that he picked up the pillow on the bed and smashed it on the body of the subordinate, and the subordinate couldn't dodge and fell to the ground!
The hole on the roof was undoubtedly displayed in the eyes of the subordinate, and the subordinate hurriedly got up from the ground and said to Ruan Qinghao: "Young master, look at the roof!" There's a big hole! Presumably it was the girl's accomplices who rescued her! ”
Ruan Qinghao raised his head and looked at the roof, and sure enough, there was a hole!
"Send someone to find a little beauty for me, if anyone stops me, kill me!" Ruan Qinghao instructed the scary person, and when the subordinate received the order, he went out of the room, and when he walked around a corner, he was covered by someone and dragged to a remote place!
Duanmu Shadow Owl let go of his subordinates, and his subordinates hurriedly stood up, and were about to call someone, but they were stopped by Duanmu Shadow Owl: "If you call someone, I can't guarantee that I won't kill you!" ”
The subordinate hurriedly closed his mouth, Duanmu Shadow Owl nodded, and said with satisfaction: "This is good!" ”
"Let me ask you, where is the granary of Ruan's mansion?" Mu Yanze asked coldly, and the next person glanced at Mu Yanze beside Duanmu Shadow Owl, and after just one glance, he was shocked, this man's aura is so strong! Definitely not the average person!
"Did I say it, you can let me go?" The subordinate talked to Mu Yanze about the conditions, Mu Yanze nodded and agreed, and then the subordinate said: "Ruan, the granary of Ruan's mansion is in the backyard!" ”
The subordinate spoke in a trembling voice, and Mu Yanze continued to ask, "Then do you know where all this grain comes from?" ”
"This 、、、、、、" the subordinate began to hesitate a little, what do these two people want to do? Could it be that the secret of the granary of Nguyen Mansion was discovered???
"Ask you! Say it quickly, don't hesitate! Otherwise, the sword has no eyes, and I'm not sure my hands will tremble! Duanmu Shadow Owl took out a pocket knife that he carried with him and put it on the neck of his subordinates!
The servant glanced at the knife on his neck, and his hands kept shaking: "I said! I say it all! These grains are all rice grains sent by Lord Lieutenant! ”
Mu Yanze and Duanmu Shadow Owl glanced at each other, knocked the subordinate unconscious, and walked towards the backyard that the subordinate said!
When he arrived at the granary and opened the door of the granary, Duanmu Shadow Owl was frightened by the mountain of grain in front of him: "Oh my God, so much rice! ”
Mu Yanze opened a bag of rice, picked it up and looked at it, and said: "These are all rice from the north, it seems that the disaster relief food issued by the imperial court before has been privately swallowed by these corrupt officials, and the people are suffering and starving outside. ”
Duanmu Shadow Owl carried a bag of rice, and Mu Yanze said suspiciously, "What are you doing?" Duanmu Shadow Owl said: "Boss, didn't you say that this is the relief food of the imperial court, we naturally want to carry it back and distribute it to those suffering people!" ”
Mu Yanze gave him a blank look: "You have followed the second brother for this time, and your brain is broken, right?!" It's broad daylight, and it's good if you just carry a bag of rice out now, and others won't catch you red-handed! If you want to steal, steal at night! ”
Duanmu Shadow Owl thought about it, why was he so impulsive, wasn't he like this before? Could it be true that he was stupid by Brother Yu as the boss said?!
"Master, look, the door of the granary is open, and those two people must have entered just now!" There was the voice of the subordinate just now, and there were many messy footsteps!
"Someone is coming, let's go first, come back tonight!" The two of them walked out of the door of the granary, and met Ruan Le and the subordinate just now. The subordinate immediately said: "Master, it's these two people!" Catch them! ”
Ruan Le glanced at Mu Yanze and Duanmu Shadow Owl, and said, "It's just two little dolls, what are you panicking about!" Come on, take them down for me! Duanmu Shadow Owl heard others call him a little doll, and he was very unconvinced: "Hey, Ruan Le, open your eyes and see clearly, I have passed the weak crown (that is, twenty years old)!" ”
"What about the weak crown, the old man is over half a hundred years old, in my eyes, you are just a little doll!"
Before Ruan Le's subordinates could take a few steps, Mu Yanze and Duanmu Shadow Owl had already flown onto the roof, and Duanmu Shadow Owl said to Ruan Le with a smile: "Then it's not necessarily that so many of you can catch my little doll!" At the end of the sentence, the two of them left the Yuanwai Mansion!
After Ruan Le saw the two of them leaving, he hurriedly walked into the granary, fortunately there was no shortage of grain, it seems that these two little dolls already know the secret of the granary, and they must not be allowed to leave Chongde County alive! Ruan Le turned around and said to his subordinates: "Immediately send someone to search the two little dolls just now, and send more people to guard the city gate, and don't let them out of the city!" ”
Ruan Le looked at the granary with some concern, and instructed his subordinates: "You send a few more people to guard the granary these days, if you find those two little dolls coming again, don't let them run away!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
Inside the inn
Mu Yanze had already expected that Ruan Le would send people to arrest them, and took the lead in bribing the innkeeper. Back in the room, Shen Zili said, "Didn't you go to the county mansion, why did you come back so late?" ”
Looking at the sky outside the window, the sun had set, Mu Yanze said: "We went to Ruan Yuanwai's mansion again, and found that there was a lot of rice in the granary of the mansion, and these rices were all disaster relief grain for the imperial court. ”
"What? Stealing the relief food issued by the imperial court, they are too bold! Shen Zili exclaimed. Mu Yanze said: "Tonight, Duanmu Shadow and I decided to go to Ruan's Mansion to move out those relief grains and distribute them to the people!" ”
Mu Xianyu looked at Mu Yanze and Duanmu Shadow Owl, and said, "Just the two of you, you want to move out the entire granary?!" Mu Yanze smiled maliciously and said, "Did I say I missed you again?" Of course, it's a bit unlikely that all the relief food in the granary will be removed in one night, so we can find a few strong men! Presumably, they will definitely cooperate with us for the sake of their wives and children! ”
"Okay, sixth brother, smart, just do as you say, I'll go find a few strong men!" Mu Xianyu patted Mu Yanze's chest!
