Bai Weiyi grabbed the butler's collar, his eyes red: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

The steward was also full of helplessness: "Yesterday, the eldest young master sent someone to tell the master......"

Bai Weiyi looked stunned, thinking that he had driven out the person who had made the complaint, and said that no one was allowed to disturb him, and he wanted to kill himself at that time.

Bai Weiyi strode into the main hall, and Old Man Bai sat in the chair with his chest covered, his face pale. When Old Man Bai saw Bai Weiyi, he picked up the teacup in his hand and threw it at him.

"Rebel!" Old Man Bai scolded angrily.

The servant who was waiting next to him lowered his head silently, it turned out that the Bai family's habit of throwing teacups started with the old lady.

Bai Weiyi's face turned pale: "Dad, this ...... This thief dared to rob us, and I—I didn't expect this. After a pause, he looked at Bai Zhilun: "How did you arrange it?" Why was Xu Thief take advantage of the loophole?! ”

Bai Zhilun said unhurriedly: "Father, the people in charge of this grain transportation are all father's people, and sons and sons can't interfere." ”

Old Man Bai scolded angrily: "Okay, don't make excuses for yourself." Don't think I don't know what you think, I said that only half of it will be transported away, and the rest will be in the cellar. Why are you making your own claims? Aren't they all courtiers?! As a result, it's good now, it's all cheap to Xu Meng! ”

Old Man Bai said excitedly and coughed violently.

As he was talking, the steward also hurriedly walked in, "God, master, I just received the news, not only our Bai family, but also other scholars who have traveled out of the city have also been robbed by the Xu thief. A lot of people died last night, and today they all fell out. ”

Bai Weiyi inexplicably felt a lot more comforted.

The steward said: "Now most of the people are running to the county government to beg Lord Meng to send troops to suppress the bandits." ”

Bai Weiyi's eyes lit up: "That's right, let's go find her, she is an official of the imperial court, and she can't be ignored." ”

When the Bai family arrived at the county office, there were already many people who complained.

Everyone was indignant and indignant, and they shouted for Meng Xingci to send troops to suppress the bandits and recover their losses.

Meng Xingci had a very good temper, and he didn't stop them from making noise.

Everyone finally noticed that something was wrong and stopped, looking at Meng Xingci.

Meng Xing said good-naturedly: "Your appeal has been understood, and if you want to sue the official, you will naturally have to accept it." But everything must be done according to the rules, and if you say that someone has robbed something, then you should first register the looted property in the register, and when the stolen goods are recovered, you can return it to you. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent for a while.

What did they transport out of town? It's grain, how can they explain to Meng Xingci why they have so much grain and transport it out of the city? If this is registered, well, Meng Xingci doesn't have to go to the warehouse to check it, just the amount of robbery is enough for them to drink a pot.

They were so angry for a moment that they actually forgot about it.

The steward of the Wei family suddenly said: "I suddenly remembered that what I lost was not a big thing, so I won't trouble Master Meng." ”

After speaking, the steward of the Wei family turned around and left, trotting all the way out of the county office, for fear that Meng Xingci would stop him and ask him to register.

The others followed suit, saying that what they were robbed of was not a big deal, and they didn't dare to bother Master Meng, so they all left.

Meng Xingci didn't stop them, but only looked at Bai Weiyi: "Master Bai also wants to sue?" ”

Bai Weiyi was so angry that he trembled, they couldn't sue if they were robbed, it was unreasonable! He glared at Meng Xing for a while, and finally couldn't help but roll his eyelids and fainted.

Meng Xingci was startled, and said hesitantly: "No, it's none of my business, right?" ”

Bai Zhilun calmly asked people to step forward to support Bai Weiyi, and said lightly: "Since the second brother went to Beijing, my father has been overly worried, and his health is not as good as before, which makes Lord Meng smile." Please also ask for your permission to let the grass people take their father back. ”

Meng Xingci breathed a sigh of relief, it had nothing to do with her, "It's okay, it's okay, Bai Dagongzi, please take care of yourself." ”

Bai Zhilun glanced at Meng Xingci meaningfully, turned around and took Bai Weiyi away.

Meng Xingci breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned back in the chair easily, and said to Song Nian: "The prince should do it over there, right?" ”

Song Nian thought for a while, then nodded: "In terms of time, in half an hour, the matter will be over." ”

"So fast? I heard that this time Zhao Xuan used a lot of manpower in order to rob this batch of grain and grass smoothly. Meng Xingci said.

So many grain and grass warriors will also send guards to escort them, Xu Meng can successfully snatch so much food in the hands of so many people, Zhao Xuan is bloody.

Song Nian said indifferently: "Xu Meng's retreat route and men are clear, if such a clear battle can't end in half an hour, it is the incompetence of my Yanhui army." ”

Meng Xingci thought about it, she still trusted Ye Xun's ability very much.

So Xu Meng had just finished robbing the Shi clan and planned to transport a large amount of booty to Jiangbei, but on the way down the mountain, he 'happened' to meet the Yanhui army to train here.

A large group of veteran soldiers pretended to practice formation there, and they were really idle, and then they saw a group of suspicious people coming down the mountain with a convoy.

The veterans were like hungry wolves who had been hungry for three days and saw fat little sheep, so they rushed over directly and wiped out Xu Meng and a group of mountain bandits.

As soon as Xu Meng arrived, the hot food was in the hands of Yan Huijun in a blink of an eye, and it was the kind that threw himself into the net.

A few days later, Ye Xun came again. He escorted Xu Meng and others to Meng Xing with great fanfare, and the Hedong Shi clan knew that Xu Meng and others fell into Ye Xun's hands.

Xu Meng, a mountain bandit who has been entrenched in Hedong, was arrested, which is another political achievement of Meng Xingci.

Some people say that since Xu Meng was arrested, then their looted property should also be sent back, right? In this regard, Song Nian regretted that when Yan Huijun caught Xu Meng and others, he did not see any property. These belongings have been transferred by Xu Meng, and their specific whereabouts are still under interrogation.

It means that people are caught, but food is gone.

Song Nian said again: "But don't worry, what did you rob Xu Meng and the others know in their hearts, the adults are already interrogating, let them confess all the looted property, as long as they find it, they will definitely return it to you." After a pause, he continued: "Xu Meng has been caught, and the matter of opening the warehouse for inspection cannot be delayed. ”

Everyone: "......"

For a while, I didn't know whether to be happy that Xu Meng was arrested, or to be worried about the exposure of my own belongings.

It's really a sad and joyful story.

When Song Nian personally went to inspect the warehouse, finally some scholars couldn't sit still, so they went to the yamen in advance to make up for the missing taxes and grain.

In the past two days, Song Nian stayed in the granary of the yamen every day to count the tax grain sent.
