Chapter XXII: Physical Evidence

Xiaobei immediately found a rope and stepped forward to tie everyone together, and when he saw them shouting so loudly, he simply grabbed the corners of their clothes and stuffed them into his mouth.

The guys were choked with their eyes and couldn't shout anymore.

Han Mu stretched out his hand and touched the grain in the warehouse, his brows furrowed, "There are people starving to death outside, they clearly still have so much food, why do they set the price of grain so high?" ”

It's eighteen times higher than usual.

Even if Han Mu is a gentleman, he will also count, think about the horse he wants to buy, it was originally only one hundred taels, but as a result, a profiteer maliciously raised the price and became one thousand eight hundred taels, then he can really kill people in anger.

The account of the household that followed Han Mu didn't expect that when he thought of his youngest son who had only starved to death two days ago, his tears fell, and he turned around and ran forward.

Han Mu was startled and hurriedly chased after him, "What are you running?" ”

The powerless memory of the chicken ran very fast, and he actually escaped from Han Mu's hands, and then went to the counter of the grain store in front of him to rummage through.

Seeing that he wasn't going to run to report the news, Han Mu breathed a sigh of relief and paced forward, "What are you looking for?" ”

"Ledger," said the notekeeper, wiping his tears from his eyes, "If you want to condemn them, you must ask for the ledger!" ”

"Convicted?" Han Mu frowned slightly, "Gu ...... Didn't the lady say it was hard to convict? It would be nice if we could get their hands on them and let them sell us food. ”

After being stunned for a moment, his eyes turned even redder, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Then I also need an account book, so that the chances of the adults and the lady will be greater." ”

Han Mu thought about it as soon as he thought about it, and immediately said: "Yes, I want the account book, Xiaobei, come and find the account book!" ”

Han Mu also followed to look for it, but he was not good at finding this kind of thing at all, so after flipping through it, he threw away his hand and ran to the back warehouse.

"The ledger is important, the grain, oh, no, it's the physical evidence is also important, come on, quickly load all the physical evidence in the warehouse and bring it back to the county office."

When the official who was following around hearing this, he immediately shouted in response, and carried out one bag per person, this is all food.

Ya Gong A, who was carrying the grain bag out, turned around and wanted to go back, and met a colleague carrying the grain bag, and immediately grabbed him, "Yao Xiang, why are you?" ”

He lowered his voice and said, "This is your patriarch's grain shop. ”

Yao Xiang lowered his eyes and said, "It's the patriarch's family, not mine." ”

His eyes were slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "My mother was so hungry that she planted her head on the ground two days ago, and she didn't wake up, and she was hastily buried yesterday. ”

The official was dumbfounded, "Five catties of grain actually asked you for two acres of fertile land?" Are they crazy, or are you crazy? ”

Yao Xiang said with red eyes: "Then I have to find a way to live, but unfortunately I went back late, I just returned home with food, and my mother fell to the ground." ”

He looked back at the warehouse, his mouth was full of bitterness, "I really didn't expect that there was so much grain in the warehouse, they set the price of grain at 180 wen a bucket, I thought it was because there was no food, so that it could scare off people who had no money, but I didn't expect ......"

"I didn't expect that it was not that there was no food, but that I was hoarding Juqi," Han Mu came out with a bag of grain in one hand, his face was as heavy as water, he had great strength, and he could throw the grain bag to the car with one hand, he raised his chin and said to the two: "Don't chat, hurry up, we have to go to the next one after carrying this house, send some people to send the grain back to the county office, and bring some more people over." ”

Han Mu thought for a while and said, "Let County Lieutenant Xue personally bring someone over." ”

The officials should be sent down and speed up the transportation.

Soon, four cartloads of grain were loaded, and Han Mu didn't care about the people tied up in the backyard, so he immediately divided into two routes, continuing to seal the grain shop all the way, and escorting the grain back all the way.

There is not a single guest here in the grain shop today, so there are not many guards on guard.

Since yesterday, everyone has been talking about the county government release grain, so who comes to the grain store to buy grain, in the city, but anyone who has exhalation, as long as they don't can't leave like a buddy, the rest of the people all go to line up to receive relief food.

Seriously, they also have men in the grain store, and there are many people in the family, although they have been working and can get food, but there are not many of them, and they will be hungry.

This made Han Mu's operation to raid the store go particularly smoothly, starting from the grain store to control everyone, so everyone reported to the Yao family.

When they came out, there was no one in the nearby shops, so they loaded into the car and left.

When we get out of this street, who knows where the food in the hands of the officials will come from?

At least now Yao Jibai, the young master of the Yao family, didn't see that the oncoming grain was transported from their family's grain shop.

Seeing Yao Jibai, Yao Xiang lowered his head, grabbed the grain bag tightly with his hand, and drove the ox cart to staggered past them.

Yao Jibai stopped, glanced back at them, and wondered, "Does the Yue family have another courtyard or Zhuangzi here?" How do you get grain from here? ”

"There's a shop here, or it's shipped out of a store."

"The Yue family has a grain shop here?"

That's not true, but Yao Jibai didn't think much about it, he didn't expect the county government to dare to copy his family's grain store.

So continue to take people to the grain store.

When he arrived at the grain shop with the door open, he walked in with his feet raised, and could not help frowning as soon as he entered.

There was no one in the shop, and the counters were still in a mess, and most importantly, the food that had been placed on the shelves and on the floor was gone.

The steward who came with him saw that it was not good, and shouted, "Oh no, our grain store has been robbed." ”

The steward ran back and called his subordinates: "Go and report to the official!" ”

When he ran to the backyard and saw the guys who were tied up in a ball and thrown in the backyard, he immediately ran forward and tore off the cloth from their mouths and asked, "Who robbed it, did you see the people clearly, how many are there, and has the treasury also been robbed?" ”

When he asked, Yao Jibai had already kicked open the door of the warehouse, and it was empty and there was nothing.

The steward's face turned pale, and he could barely stand.

The guy who was tied up also gasped, and hurriedly said: "It's not a robbery, it's the county government, the new county order said that we are something, anyway, the old man committed a crime, these are all physical evidence, so I have to take it away." ”

The guy paused for a moment and remembered, "By the way, they're still looking for the ledger." ”

The steward's face changed greatly, and he turned and ran into the next room, where the door was opened, and the inside was turned upside down, and the cabinet at the bottom was open, and all the ledgers in it were gone.

The steward's feet went limp, and he almost fell to his knees, "It's over." ”

Yao Jibai was amazed, and couldn't help asking, "My father really committed a crime?" What's wrong? ”

Charge:...... Not only did your father commit an accident, but I also committed an accident.

The ledger there is not flat.
