The master and the ruffian hooligans standing beside the county commander had not yet noticed that something was wrong.

The master stepped forward and was about to say something, when he saw the county commander raise his hand and greeted him with a slap.

The master screamed miserably, and was knocked to the ground by the county order, and he looked in the direction of the county order in disbelief, his eyes full of confusion.

What's going on?

Why did you hit him all of a sudden?

The county order gritted his teeth.

"You bunch of trash, who did you catch? Do you know who is standing in the audience? ”

This county magistrate is not a Beijing official, but he has seen Lord Ye when he was in Beijing.

He knew that Master Ye was a confidant around Chen Mu.

If this is the case, it will be able to make Lord Ye deal with it with a respectful attitude.

Naturally, there was only the one in the capital, but he didn't expect that the one in the capital actually came to his realm privately by Weifu.

Even if he came, he was even arrested by his subordinates as a bully from a foreigner in this county office!

The county commander hurriedly ran down the high platform and knelt down in front of Chen Mu with a thud.

The master, who was slapped by the county order and flew out, just got up from the ground covering his face, and saw the scene that happened not far away.

He was stunned, frowning a little confusedly, and just as he was about to ask, he saw the county magistrate turn his head and shout.

"Come here for me! On your knees! On your knees! ”

Although those ruffians and masters didn't know Chen Mu's identity.

But seeing that the county order was scared like this, they still glanced at each other, and then ran to the county order with a stream of urine, and knelt down after that.

When Chen Mu saw them like this, he hooked his lips and sneered.

The county order trembled, Chen Mu slowly bypassed them, walked to the high platform and sat down, and then waved his hand to them and said.

"The man who arrested me said that the old gentleman and his family owe you money? But as far as I know, not only did the old gentleman not owe you any money, but he also received a very small amount of settlement money from you. ”

Hearing Chen Mu's words, the county commander shuddered violently, he looked up in the direction of Chen Mu, his lips moved slightly, looking at that look, as if he was racking his brains trying to find an excuse to perfunctory this matter.

When Chen Mu saw the appearance of the county order, he sneered and continued.

"If I remember correctly, I arranged in the capital to distribute ten taels of resettlement silver to the people, but you deducted the silver into one tael."

"If I had not known this, would these people have been tortured to death by you?"

The last sentence was cold, and the county magistrate shuddered again, and he shook his head in panic, turning his head to catch a glimpse of the ruffians kneeling behind him.

The county commander's gaze moved slightly, and he immediately rushed forward, picked up a ruffian, and whipped the person to the ground, and then said.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I didn't know that those people only got one or two taels of silver, and I asked them to distribute it to the people according to the amount you allocated."

"I want to come...... It was these people who took advantage of our inattention and coveted the money. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if you give me some time, I will definitely punish these people severely to give you an explanation."

When Chen Mu heard him say this, he sneered, he glanced at the old men kneeling not far away, and then said slowly.

"Let's not say whether what you say is true or false, just give an explanation......"

"The account is not for me, but for this old gentleman and his family, as well as for the people whom you have deducted from the silver taels."

When the county commander heard Chen Mushang say, his legs weakened, and he fell to his knees again.

Chen Mu made a loud noise, kneeling not far away, the old gentleman with a blank face, and his family were also stunned for a moment, and then they were shocked and suddenly came back to their senses.

They looked up in the direction of Chen Mu, their eyes were full of shock, they were not stupid, they had just heard the words of those people, and they knew Chen Mu's identity better.

His Royal Highness the Prince, is it actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came to their town privately?

Great, they were saved!

Several people looked at each other, ecstatic, the old gentleman rushed forward and arched his hand at Chen Mu, and then said with a handful of snot and tears.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I didn't expect you to be His Royal Highness the Prince, when I just dealt with you, there were many rudenesses, I hope you will forgive me."

When Chen Mu heard the other party say this, he sighed faintly, and then shook his head silently.

He had already concealed his identity, and it was nothing that these villagers did not pay attention to the etiquette when talking to him.

Chen Mu could see that most of the old gentleman still had something to say, so he glanced at the old gentleman and signaled that the other party had something to say.

Seeing this, the old gentleman continued to speak.

"This is the case for every household in our village, and each of our households is divided into silver according to the head, and each household is only divided into one or two pieces of silver according to the head."

"There are only four people in our family, so we have been divided into four taels, if Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince says it is true...... Then I think that the remaining nine taels of silver will fall into the hands of this corrupt official and his doglegs! ”

Chen Mu was silent when he heard the other party say this, and then nodded in response.

Of course he knew this, and when the old man saw this, he raised his hand again to wipe away his tears and spoke.

"This money is not enough to spend at all, and it has been nearly a month since you issued the decree."

"We paid for the account ourselves, and we also paid for the rice and noodles."

Although before the land was requisitioned, they had a little surplus of silver on hand.

But it was a move after all, they needed to relocate, and the money they had was quickly spent.

They were good fortune-tellers, and when they came to this town, they were helped by a large family, and they barely survived on their scraps.

There were many people in their village who starved to death before they even had a chance to come to the town.

When Chen Mu heard about this, he was shocked.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked expressionlessly in the direction of the county order.

The county order's legs trembled, but at this time, when someone had already proved the truth, he still wanted to cover up the matter, he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this matter ...... I can explain that. The fault of this matter is not mine, but of these ruffians. ”

"I have given them the money to be settled, and they may distribute it according to your command."

The ruffian hooligans were still stunned just now, and they didn't come back to their senses, but when they heard the county order say this, they immediately understood the meaning of the county order.

It was intended to pour dirty water on them, and the ruffians of the land were angry in their hearts, and evil was born in their guts.

He jumped up, grabbed the county order and threw the person aside, and then said.
