Sang Luo smiled coldly, his eyes full of confidence.

"With so much food, how could I bring only ten people? Of course, I brought enough people to transport food! ”

More than 100 people immediately appeared around, all armed with swords.

Huan Qingzhou and Lord Qin appeared together in official uniforms, but Shen Tunan was wearing normal clothes.

Huan Qingzhou looked majestic and said: "At the moment of the catastrophe, the people are hungry and displaced. Shu Wang, you deliberately hoard grain and disturb food prices. As a result, the people could not afford to buy food, and starved to death. Are you guilty? ”

When Shu Wang saw the current scene, he had only one thought, that is, to save his life first.

"I don't know the guilt, I bought all this food at my own expense, and it has already been ordered. I can't sell what someone else has ordered! Is this malicious food hoarding? ”

Sang Luo said: "You have made up lies and troubled your brain, if you order these grains, can you still drag them here and plan to send them to Osaki for trading?" And what about contracts? ”

"The merchant is profit-seeking, you have paid twelve taels and one stone, and it is also cost-effective for me to pay liquidated damages, why don't I trade with you? If you say that I disturb prices, you are the ones who disturb prices! Shu Wang immediately retorted.

What a quibble!

Sang Luo said: "Shu Wang, what's the use of quibbling? I have evidence, I bought three times of rice at the price of 12 taels of silver and one stone in your Guangyuan rice shop. You can't wash away this crime. ”

Shu Wang said: "That's just that I am not strict under my rule, and I can clearly write 601 stones of rice on the water card." I can hand over the shopkeeper of the rice store to the yamen for strict handling, and I will definitely cooperate with the government's investigation. ”

How cunning!

Sang Luo didn't know how to refute it for a while!

Huan Qingzhou looked majestic and ordered: "Arrest Shu Wang and put him in prison, and the grain will be confiscated!" ”

"Yes!" The four officials immediately stepped forward to control Shu Wang.

Shu Wang wanted to resist, but he was so controlled that he couldn't move.

"Why are you arresting me? Want to confiscate this grain? Do you dare? If you don't ask who the food is, you dare to move? ”

They all knew that there was someone behind Shu Wang, but when he shouted in public, eighty percent of the grain belonged to the person behind him.

Sang Luo couldn't help laughing: "Don't dare to move? You're so ridiculous, it's like saying your dad doesn't dare touch you! ”

Shen Tu Nan pulled out his saber, compared it to his neck, sneered, and asked, "Tell me, whose food doesn't even dare to move us adults?" ”

Shu Wang looked at the knife around his neck and was a little panicked, but he endured it and said, "Do you dare to kill me?" I say that I am hoarding grain and disturbing prices, what about the evidence? Even if you are condemned, you will not be guilty unto death. Do you dare? ”

"Your grain truck just hit me, how could I just kill you? But it's okay to pick a tesuji to vent your anger. Shen Tunan put the knife on his wrist again.

Shu Wang's heart tightened, looking at the blade, his eyes became panicked, and he hurriedly looked at Huan Qingzhou.

Huan Qingzhou said: "If this person has any grievances with you, then you will settle them privately." After the solution is settled, we will arrest you and return to the yamen. ”

Shu Wang didn't expect this disaster relief official to be so wild, and completely ignored his official reputation.

If this really picks his tesuji, won't he become a cripple?

"My lord, I confess, I confess. You put me in prison and interrogate me slowly, I will confess everything, don't lynch. ”

Huan Qingzhou nodded: "People take it away, and the food is used for disaster relief!" ”

Lord Qin was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Yes!" ”

Sang Luo was also relieved to see the officials happily transporting grain!

She succeeded, and she didn't even bother Huan Qingzhou!

"Sangluo, hard work!" Huan Qingzhou thanked Sang Luo.

Sang Luo said: "You're welcome, but you have to be careful!" He said that the prefect was his uncle, and the grain might not really be his, but from the prefect of Funing. ”

"You think so?"

Sang Luo looked at Huan Qingzhou's suspicious eyes and was stunned: "Isn't it?" ”

"Of course not! The prefect of Funing returned to his hometown last winter, and the new prefect has not yet arrived. At present, the prefect of Funing is temporarily handled by Lord Qin. ”

Sang Luo nodded thoughtfully: "Oh! It turns out that this is the case, so Shu Wang's uncle is the former prefect? ”

"Yes, the former prefect." Huan Qingzhou nodded.

Shu Wang was able to open the semicolon to all states and counties, and his uncle helped a lot from it. But the disaster began this year, and there is a high probability that the food could not have been his uncle's. ”

Sang Luo nodded: "Oh! Could it be that when he said those words, he deliberately bluffed us and made us have scruples? ”

Huan Qingzhou pondered slightly and shook his head: "I don't know, this has to be further investigated to confirm." ”

"So you deliberately confiscated so much grain from Shu Wang and forced the people behind him to show up? If no one stands up for him, then it proves that the grain is his own, right? ”

Huan Qingzhou showed a smile on his face: "Yes! You guessed it right. Then we will wait for the follow-up, and what should come will come. ”

Sang Luo was very happy, so he said to Shen Tunan: "Now that there is food, the imperial court's relief money has also been saved." You can organize people from all over the world to work together to repair the canals. ”

Shen Tunan nodded heavily, "Hmm! The line has already been drawn, and people everywhere have started work at the same time and excavated in sections. Even the ten-year-old dolls are on the battlefield. ”

"Is it so aligned?" Sang Luo was surprised, "Didn't you meet someone to compensate?" ”

"If you occupy the people's land, you will be compensated to a certain extent, but you will also be compensated according to the corresponding land price. For example, five taels of silver per acre of land, and digging a canal accounts for three points, just give one or two and a half dollars of silver! ”

Sang Luo suddenly remembered a lot of news, the country needs to demolish houses to build roads and bridges, and many of them are pulling skins and stretches, and there are also nail households.

"Is it so easy to talk to? Didn't make a fuss? ”

"The construction of the canal by the imperial court is a matter for the benefit of the people, what is there to make trouble? If there is trouble, then arrest and put him in prison. Shen Tunan said very casually.

Sang Luo just wanted to say that the power of officials in ancient times was great, and the people really didn't have much right to speak.

I think it was also in Xianhe County at the beginning, Shen Tunan requisitioned the Wang family's mansion when he said it was requisitioned, and no one had any.

"That's good, the smooth construction of the canal is also a major event for the benefit of the country and the people. Do your best, the merit is immeasurable. ”

Shen Tunan nodded and promised: "Hmm!" I will definitely lead the people to repair the canal! ”

Huan Qingzhou said: "You do a good job, the work of repairing the canal will be handed over to you, and I can rest assured!" You will first take half of this grain and use it to repair the canals, so that the people will benefit as soon as the construction starts. ”

"Yes, Lord Xie!"

Shen Tunan took his two assistants and the local officials to start construction.

Sang Luo and Huan Qingzhou stayed in Fenghe County temporarily, and they still wanted to find out the general warehouse of Shu Wang.

"I'll go find the location of the general warehouse, and you go to deal with the officials from all over the place."

Huan Qingzhou shook his head: "Shu Wang's business is so big, there are people in his hands. It's not safe for you to go it alone right now. From now on, you are not allowed to act privately with me. ”
