Chapter 285: Verdict

Of course there is no, Sun County's secrecy measures are not bad, the grain depot where this batch of grain is stored is not used much, few people know that this is a grain depot, so the grain in it is still there, that is......

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his head and grabbed a handful of wheat mixed with mud and sand, and said meaningfully: "This chaos in Canyang County is not unjust at all. ”

The county clerk and the chief bookkeeper on the side blushed, I don't know if they were ashamed or afraid.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't look at them either, and said after dropping the wheat in his hand: "Go and invite the rich families and gentry in the city to come over, let's take a look and count the grain in the granary together." ”

"Most of them are literate," she said, "and now that Cangyang County is in trouble, it is the time when they are needed." ”

After being frightened all night, some wealthy families who were even rushed into their homes to rob were invited by the soldiers to the grain depot to watch the people of the county government count the grain.

They were angry and frightened, and they hadn't woken up from last night's chaos, so as soon as they came, they stared directly at the county seat and General Ding and asked, "What about the county order of Sun?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang said quietly: "Sun County has ordered Chen County, and now Canyang is my main business." ”

Only then did everyone see Zhao Hanzhang.

Many people know her, and they also went to the Zhao's Winter Solstice Banquet last year, and they saw her at that time.

I didn't know her, but I thought of calling all night last night, and when I saw her surrounded by people in the middle, I could guess her identity.

Their faces improved slightly, and they were quite graceful, raised their hands and saluted Zhao Hanzhang, and thanked them sincerely: "Thank you Zhao Xianjun for saving me." ”

Zhao Hanzhang bowed slightly, his face improved slightly, and asked gently, "Are you okay at home?" ”

Some sighed, some looked sad, and some responded: "It's a shame that the reinforcements came in time last night, and although some property was lost, the people are fine." ”

Zhao Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's good to be a good person." ”

She looked back at the granary, "It's just that this time it's chaotic, there are a lot of bad people, and the root cause is all from the grain." ”

Everyone also followed her gaze, and when they saw so much sand and gravel mixed with the open grain bag, they were shocked, "What's going on?" ”

yes, what's going on?

Sun County's order was not there, and Zhao Hanzhang could only take the county and the main book for questioning.

The two of them didn't expect Zhao Hanzhang to say that they would do it, and they couldn't help shouting, "This has nothing to do with us, we don't know anything." ”

"As the county governor and the chief bookkeeper, especially the chief bookkeeper, he doesn't even know the inside story of such a major matter as grain payment, so that such a chaotic situation has arisen, isn't this a serious dereliction of duty?" Zhao Hanzhang stared at him with cold eyes and asked, "What kind of face do you have to shout such words as 'I don't know'?" ”

The chief bookkeeper wanted to cry without tears and said: "But I really don't know, such a trivial matter as paying grain, there are officials under us to do it, we only need to check the accounts are correct, how do I know that the people below are so bold that they dare to steal grain taxes and mix sand and gravel into it?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang heard him defend like this, and he was so angry that he threw a whip over and knocked the person to the ground, "Xu official? Isn't your little master bookkeeper also a servant? The official character is not big, but the pomp is not small, as the main book, he can't even check and check, in his position, he doesn't seek his own government, it's even worse than Lu beetle! ”

Zhao Hanzhang originally wanted to interrogate, but he didn't even bother to interrogate this time, so he directly ordered: "Drag him down and cut him down!" ”

The chief bookkeeper's eyes widened, and he shouted when the soldiers came up to drag people: "You, you can't kill me, you can't kill me, I am the chief bookkeeper of Canyang County, not Xiping County, I have my own Sun County order to sentence ......"

As soon as Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand, the soldiers stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth and dragged the person out directly.

The grain depot quieted down suddenly, and everyone looked at Zhao Hanzhang in disbelief, and Xian Cheng was the most afraid, he stood aside tremblingly, feeling that his legs were a little weak.

Zhao Hanzhang's gaze fell coldly on the county Cheng.

The county man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and when her gaze fell on him for a long time, he knelt on the ground with a thud, and pointed to one of the rich households: "This is the grain that the Guan family, Sun County's order, and the master book are planning to replace together, and I, I didn't participate." ”

The rich and gentry all turned their heads to look at Guan Yi.

Guan Yi's face was slightly pale, but he was quite calm, "You are spewing blood, and my Guan family is not short of this little food, how can you replace the grain tax?" ”

After a pause, he said: "And this turmoil is not caused by the replacement of the grain tax, but because the grain tax allocated by Yuzhou is too high for the people to afford it." ”

Zhao Hanzhang said faintly: "Master Guan knows it clearly. ”

Guan Yi became more and more calm, and said with a smile: "I heard that nearly half of them should be the summer taxes of Shangcai and Xiping, but because Zhao Xianjun refused to pay the full amount of taxes, Yuzhou put these taxes on our head of Canyang." ”

"The people under my rule are poor, and if they really pay the taxes required by Yuzhou, then the people under my rule will starve to death, so for them, I am willing to fight according to reason," Zhao Hanzhang said: "Sun County can learn from me!" ”

She said: "As a county parent official, the most important thing to do is to protect the people of a county, I don't regret what I have done, but Master Guan, how do you know that the taxes that are distributed to the people of Canyang this time have nothing to do with the grain tax that was replaced?" ”

"Can you use sand and gravel to exchange food, do you know if you will raise taxes for food and greed for more food?"

It is!

Everyone stared at Guan Yi with blazing eyes.

Guan Yi's heart was pounding.

Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and asked Guan Yi to take it down, seeing his unwilling struggle, she said: "Master Guan, don't worry, you are different from the master book." ”

She said: "The main book is the official of the imperial court, and he eats the king's fortune, but he does not do loyal to the king, occupies the official position, but does not seek his politics, so it is only right for me to kill him." ”

"But Master Guan, you are a citizen, I am an official, if you commit a crime, I will try it clearly, how to judge, according to the law." Zhao Hanzhang leaned slightly to look at the county Cheng, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "You are in charge of this matter for the time being." ”

Xiancheng's knees were even softer, and he kowtowed and trembled in response: "Yes." ”

Zhao Hanzhang smiled at the remaining rich gentry: "Please come here to help, since everyone has arrived, let's start counting the grain in the granary." ”

Rich Households: "...... Why don't we call the housekeeper to help? ”

Surely they can't do this kind of thing compared to the account office at home?

But is Zhao Hanzhang just counting?

She wanted them to see why the people of Canyang County rebelled this time.

Zhao Hanzhang just didn't hear their different opinions, so he asked people to go back to the county government and move the account books of this year's tax collection.

Oh, the main book was beheaded, and Zhao Hanzhang's soldiers were very lazy and too lazy to go far, so they cut people down not far from the outside of the grain depot.

The head of the man was separated, and he was still lying on the ground.

The people in the granary could see the corpse as long as they turned to the side a little, so although they had never done such a thing, and they considered themselves arrogant, they still ...... couldn't help but listen to Zhao Hanzhang's words obediently.

? ?Good night
