Are we still chasing? ”

"Of course chase, how can I explain if I don't chase it back!"

A group of people continued to catch up.

Hearing someone shouting "The dog officer has run away", the rest of the victims also followed behind and chased them out one after another - they didn't find any food, and the dog official's family didn't catch it, so why didn't they chase the dog officer and continue to stay here?

In this way, Zhang Jing single-handedly led almost all the victims in Liuhuang County to the foot of Yunwu Mountain.

Nearly half an hour later, Shopkeeper Qiu also arrived with a small group of victims.

"What's going on in Yuanming County?" As soon as the shopkeeper Qiu arrived, he hurriedly inquired.

"Lao Jiu has already brought someone to report the news!" The man surnamed Guo stepped forward, patted the shopkeeper Qiu's shoulder heavily, and said, "Shopkeeper Qiu, I have just heard the brother surnamed Zhang explain the cause and effect - this time, thanks to you!" ”

Shopkeeper Qiu shook his head, looking a little ashamed.

If it weren't for Zhang Jing and his entourage, he wouldn't be able to say that he was helping, and it would be good if it wasn't a bad thing.

"Officers and soldiers...... Officers and soldiers are chasing after them! ”

At this moment, suddenly a victim of the disaster came running from a distance, he was barefoot with his hair draped, his steps staggering, and his expression panicked.

"Officers and soldiers have come to encircle and suppress us!"

He shouted in a panicked tone.

The four victims spread his words through the crowd, causing an immediate panic.

"Why did the officers and soldiers come?"

"It must be someone sent by Wu Huaimin! He's going to put us to death......"

"Why is he...... We are here in good shape, but we didn't follow those people to smash the county government! ”

"What do you mean by that?"

The crowd was chaotic and noisy, and even many people pointed the finger at Zhu Youzhu and his party, thinking that they were deliberately trying to lure everyone here, so that the officers and soldiers could kill them all in one fell swoop-

Shopkeeper Qiu and the others tried their best to appease, but the sound of horses' hooves and thick and neat footsteps getting closer and closer made everyone panic and couldn't listen to anything at all.

"It's really an officer and soldier, it's the person who commands the embassy!"

"Those spies just now said that Wu Huaimin colluded with Wei Commander Tongzhi Xiangyun!"

"I'm fighting with them!"

The crowd raised their weapons and stared straight ahead.

First, a group of 100 cavalry appeared in their sight, and the soldiers on the horses were wearing cuirasses and swords at their waists, and they came in the rain, majestic.

The victims were afraid, but no one took a step back, and the look of sadness and indignation in their eyes became heavier.

The cavalry slowly stopped, divided to the sides, and made way for it.

A sturdy and tall jujube horse drove in, leading a long line of soldiers.

The soldiers held their spears aloft, their sharp tips glowing coldly in the rain.

"We are not afraid of you!" Some of the victims shouted hoarsely.

As the red horse approached, the man sitting on the horse had a solemn face, his beard was stained with rain and mist, and he was wearing the uniform of the commander of the guard.

"This is not Xiangyun...... It's the South Commander! Someone who had seen Nan Wensheng suddenly exclaimed.

"What? Isn't the southern commander seriously ill? ”

"The southern commander also colluded with the Wu Governor's Mansion!"

"Poof!"

When everyone speculated, Nan Wensheng suddenly pulled out the long knife on his waist.

The people around were furious and excited.

Nan Wensheng turned over and dismounted, and his boots made a splash in the water.

A team of mule carts was approached, Nan Wensheng raised his hand violently and shook off the oilcloth covered on it, the oilcloth had not yet landed, and everyone had not had time to see what was on the mule cart, and the long knife in Nan Wensheng's hand had already waved-

The blade was so sharp that it cut through the sack, and what flowed out of it was pearl-like white rice!

"Wow-"

At this moment, the sound of rice grains hitting each other seems to be the most beautiful sound in this heaven and earth.

"It's rice!"

"Look, it's the ...... of food"

"It's really food!"

The sound of thunder was like thunder, and almost instantly, they all dropped their weapons in their hands.

The appearance of these grains is a hundred times more convincing than any other word.

"These relief grains that should have been sent to you have been recovered by this official! The people involved in the case this time, this official will definitely arrest them all and hand them over to the imperial court for disposal! I'll give you an explanation! Nan Wensheng's voice was as loud as a bell.

However, he looked at the countless scrawny and ragged victims, and his resolute tone suddenly became low and ashamed: "Blame the official for being late." ”

This night, he really slept at the wrong time, and he really slept for too long.

"Nan-sama!"

A gray-haired victim fell to his knees crying and kowtowing.

Countless victims knelt down and wept with joy.

The rain was weakening and sporadic and sporadic sprinkled.

"Bring people up." Nan Wensheng turned his head and commanded the soldiers beside him.

A group of officials who had their hands and feet tied were escorted to the victims, led by Qi Ming, the county magistrate of Gui'an County, and Fu Yong, the county magistrate of Yuanming County.

After the victims of the disaster from all counties rushed into the county office, the people who commanded the envoys also arrived.

The victims stared at them like knives, as if no amount of vicious cursing could relieve the hatred in their hearts.

Among them, I don't know how many people have lost their families and suffered a lot because of this.

A group of victims pushed Qiu Huaizhi, the county magistrate of Liuhuang County, who was also tied hands, out.

"Say, who instructed you to embezzle and resell disaster relief food funds this time!" Nan Wensheng's tone was cold and heavy, and the killing aura around him suddenly appeared.

A group of errand servants shook their heads again and again, saying that they didn't know.

With such an identity, they naturally don't know much inside information.

"My lord, the lower officials really don't understand what the adults mean, why are they reselling disaster relief food...... Where did Xia Guan have the courage to do this? Fu Yong said with a bitter face.

Qi Ming also echoed.

"So far, you still want to deny it-" Nan Wensheng sneered: "The sand boat you resold for disaster relief was personally brought back by this official!" Those boatmen have already confessed to you, and here is the confession! Not to mention the ironclad evidence such as the current account books! ”

Qi Ming and the others' faces changed.

"Bring the witness!"

The witnesses were brought over, and all Qi Ming's crimes were immediately poured out, and in addition to reselling disaster relief food this time, even some old accounts were turned over.

Qi Ming was shocked, and trembled with anger: "My lord, the lower official doesn't know this fat monk at all!" How can he take what he says true! ”

"What a fat monk, that's your master!" Nan Wensheng's tone was disdainful and disgusted.

"......" Qi Ming looked over with a confused expression.

Ho! It's really Master Liu!

How did he not die!

Nan Wensheng: "Don't you still refuse to confess who is behind it!" ”

He had already checked all the accounts, from beginning to end it was all in the hands of these county magistrates, Wu Huaimin was clean, at most it was just lax supervision - if there was no identification by Qi Ming and others and the evidence in their hands, relying on the confessions and speculations of other people alone, he would not be able to go to the government office to get people for a while.

There is also Xiang Yun, who also refuses to admit it, so he can only start with these county orders at the moment.

Qi Ming and Fu Yong quietly glanced at each other, and then they both shook their heads and denied him, talking about him left and right, and shouted that they were wronged.

As long as Wu Huaimin has not fallen, they think that there is still hope.

"Daddy!"

At this moment, a little girl's voice suddenly came.

Qiu Huaizhi, the county magistrate of Liuhuang County, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head.
