Chapter 72: Ledger
However, everything is also dangerous, and Ding Tai is all right in the room.
After so many days of recuperation, Ding Tai's injuries and palpitations have improved a lot, and when he saw Ye Linghuang and Yu Feng, he knelt down and said, "The grass people see King Rui, Princess Rui!" Thank you for the rescue! The grass people's life will be King Rui's in the future! ”
"Don't say these high-sounding words, let's say something substantial, what does Lu Hongfu have of Shantang's idea?" Ye Linghuang sat in front of him, and didn't let him get up, just knelt and talked.
Ding Tai should have made a plan these days, which side he wants to stand on, judging from the current situation, he has no choice.
If the dead duck has a hard mouth and breaks his leg, Lu Hongfu will not care whether he lives or dies.
"Back to the words of the prince, what the grass people said next is true, and they don't dare to hide it! Lu Hongfu and his boss Wang Liangcai once reached an agreement and asked me to falsify the account books in order to obtain excess food from them. ”
"Half of this grain was transported into Lu Hongfu's mansion, and the remaining half, seven of which went into Wang Liangcai's pocket, and the other three were given to the grass people by them! They also brought the beggars who came to collect food back to their houses, and forced them to stay in the house to work as coolies, and did not pay them for their wages, but only took care of their two meals a day. ”
"Many beggars voluntarily stayed in their houses to work as coolies in order to fill their stomachs, but most of them couldn't stand the abuse, wanted to leave but couldn't leave, and had to endure beatings and whippings......"
Yu Feng was so angry that she wanted to slap the table!
It's been more than a month, I don't know how much grain Lu Hongfu and Wang Liangcai took away from Shantang? She paid for the food, in other words, these two people were stealing her money! Dare to enslave illegally!
"You know all this, why didn't you report it sooner!? You've been hiding it, don't you want to get more food!? You're also an insatiable guy! Yu Feng said angrily.
"It was true that the grass people had been stained with their eyes for a while, but now they are sober and know that what I did was wrong! Therefore, they are willing to truthfully tell all the bad things they have done, and the grass people have never defended themselves, and the grass people are willing to accept any punishment! ”
"Is there any evidence for all this you said?" Ye Linghuang asked.
Ding Tai nodded, "The grass people were worried that something would happen one day, so they secretly hid a real account book, which clearly recorded on which day Wang Liangcai was and how much grain he took away!" ”
"Where's the real ledger?" Ye Linghuang thought to himself that this Ding Tai was not stupid, he knew that he was leaving a hand behind his back, but he didn't know if he left this hand and was discovered by the shrewd Wang Liangcai?
"It's in the corner of the warehouse in Shantang, where there's a small hole that has been picked up by rats. Wang Liangcai was afraid that the rat hole would steal the grain, so he told me to block the hole, so I borrowed the land, put an account book, and wrapped it in a strong gray linen, not afraid of being bitten by the mouse. ”
Ding Tai's expression was calm, and he didn't deliberately avoid it, not like he was lying.
Ye Linghuang immediately instructed Chunfeng to go to the location that Ding Tai said to find out.
"Ding Tai, I hope you are interesting and make sure that everything is true. But if you have the slightest deception about this king, and you want to fight this king's idea...... Just wait and taste what it's like to be a beggar and be trampled on by ten thousand people. ”
Ding Tai was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed, "The grass people are afraid, the grass people don't dare!" ”
