Chapter Twenty-Three: Bumping Into
The steward didn't say anything that Master Yao had done, but just urged Yao Jibai, "San Lang, you have to quickly chase back the account books, and you have to go back and tell the master." ”
Yao Jibai said with a tangled face: "Naturally, I want to tell my father, but how to recover the account books?" ”
He said: "The county order is an official, and robbing things with an official is a bandit, so wouldn't I also commit a crime?" ”
He asked, "Tell me what the hell is going on." ”
"Oops," the steward couldn't help but stomp his feet, why was it that the third young master was in charge of inspecting the shop today, instead of the eldest young master and the second young master?
He grabbed Yao Jibai's hand and dragged it out, "Don't ask, let's go chase the people from the official mansion first, didn't the guy say that they still have to go to the next store?" Gotta stop someone! ”
Yao Jibai passively followed.
The steward was too busy, and while dragging Yao Jibai to chase Han Mu and the others, he also had to assign someone to go back to report the news.
And with such a delay, they were even farther away from Han Mu and the others.
Han Mu rode on his horse and ran to the next grain store with the rest of the servants.
Actually, it's just down the next street, not very far away.
This street is a little more remote and smaller than the one before, so there are still no people, but there are two more shops.
provoked Han Mu to look at it fixedly, and then reined in his horse and asked the person guarding the shop, "What does your shop sell?" ”
When the dozing man in the shop heard the question, he immediately trotted out and replied, "Master Hui, we are a grocery store, and we sell everything?" ”
Han Mu glanced up at the plaque in his house and raised his eyebrows: "Yao Ji!" ”
looked at the shop that was also open not far away, and said, "Zeng Ji!" ”
He asked, "Why don't you have a shop from the Yue family?" ”
The guy who was questioned was stunned for a moment, then pointed to a shop that had been locked up and said: "That's the Yue family's shop, but his shop sells fabrics, who has the money to buy fabrics at this time, so it's closed, but there is a grocery store on the next street that is still open, but his goods are not as complete as ours, do you want to see our house first?" ”
Han Mu waved his hand and said, "Come and have a look in a while." ”
He led people directly to Yao Ji's grain shop not far away, and led people to go in with their feet.
There were a lot of guys in the grain store, there were seven of them, which was much more than the grocery store with only one guy.
Seeing Han Mu enter the door with the servants, the guys immediately stood up and stepped forward, and asked with some vigilance, "Does the official want to buy grain?" ”
Han Mu was noncommittal and asked, "What is the price of grain?" ”
"The average one hundred and eighty wen one bucket, you want a good two hundred wen one bucket."
Han Mu stepped forward and grabbed a handful of rice in the bag, his expression didn't change much, it wasn't until just now that he knew from his subordinates how important this bucket of grain was, and it only took so little to live a person's life.
And just such a little thing, it is more difficult for ordinary people to say than to ascend to the sky, but after this door, it is so easy for some people.
Some people easily control the life and death of the people.
Officials with a little bit of power are so controlled, let alone ordinary people.
Han Mu clenched his hand tightly, and the rice in his palm leaked out of his fingers, and what was still held in the palm of his hand was pressed into powder by him.
The guys were startled when they saw it, and finally noticed that Han Mu was not good, and hurriedly shouted: "Official, this is the Yao family's shop, our Master Yao and the Zhao master in the yamen Xue County Lieutenant are very good." ”
Fart, Lieutenant Xue is about to rise up, can he be good with Master Yao?
Han Mu threw the collected powder into the grain bag, and said in a deep voice: "Coincidentally, Master Zhao and Xue County Lieutenant have to listen to me, and Master Yao and I have not yet made a friendship, come on, Yao Ji Grain Store is suspected of raising prices, hoarding Juqi, and taking all the stolen goods!" ”
"Yes!"
The servants rushed forward, and when the men saw it, they immediately took out the sticks and broadswords hidden in the shop, and rushed up to fight, but before the knife was withdrawn, they were kicked in the wrist, and the knife slipped instantly.
Han Mu stretched out his hand to catch the knife, kicked the person away, he looked at the knife in his hand, and said: "It's a knife again, it's not a public family, and the crime is added to the first degree." ”
Han Mu felt that he was really too smart to be able to draw inferences.
There are only two knives in this shop, Han Mu took one, Xiaobei rushed up to collect one, kicked one, and two people got down in an instant, and there were only four people standing on the field, and the officials could take them down no matter how much they cooked.
There was a crackle in the shop, and in a moment the seven guys in the shop were tied up and thrown aside.
The grocery store guy looking over the distance was dumbfounded, and although the fight was taking place in the store, he still saw the guy trying to run out and then being dragged back.
He shuddered, immediately retracted back to the shop, quickly lowered the door panel, closed the door, ran to the backyard, ran out of the back door and went to Yao's house to report the news.
The guy in the Zeng family's grocery store on the same street also saw it, and he was also startled, and at the same time closed the shop, but he didn't dare to leave, and naturally he didn't go back to Zeng's house to report the news, but hid in the shop tremblingly, hoping that the officials were only interested in food.
"My lord, the guy from Yao Ji's grocery store ran away, will he go to Yao's house to report the news?"
Han Mu: "Just report it, hmph, let him come to see the master, but he said that he was not there, since this is the case, when he came to see the master, the master also said that he was not there." ”
He waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, look for the account books, and move all the food out!" ”
"Yes!"
The officials were very passionate about the activity of moving grain, Han Mu ordered them to run to the backyard, and soon found the warehouse, found that it was locked, and did not look for the key, but directly found an axe to cut the lock in.
There were forty or fifty sacks of grain piled up inside, and everyone's eyes were green, and they immediately rushed forward to move it.
Duan Ji of the household was still interested in the account books, and concentrated on rummaging through the account books.
has already had an experience, and the layout of this Yao Ji grain store is almost the same, he quickly found a place to put the account book, but it was locked, and he didn't open it for a while.
Han Mu wandered around, and when he saw it, he kicked it very directly and kicked the box away.
Paragraph Notes: ......
Seriously, he has been in the household for many years, and he has also experienced three county orders, and this one is the fourth, which is really different from the previous county orders.
Han Mu saw that he was stunned, thinking that he was not easy to hold, so he intimately picked up the box, broke the kick opening even more with his hand, and then began to shake the box and shake the account book inside.
When the account books fell down, Yao Jibai and the steward finally arrived with the Yao family's family.
As soon as he entered the door, he was facing Han Mu shaking the account book, and the steward shouted, "Who are you and what do you want to do?" ”
Han Mu raised his eyes and looked over, and the steward was stunned by him, but the steward quickly reacted, but his voice was much weaker, "You, who are you?" ”
And Yao Jibai was stunned, one foot was in the door, and the other foot was still outside the door, and it took him a long time to see the official robe on Han Mu's body, and he blushed and asked, "You, are you the new county magistrate?" ”
