Chapter 22: The Lower Officials Don't Know Their Guilt!
"Xiaguan see His Royal Highness King Yan!"
Zhu Di stared at Guo An with a gloomy face, and asked in a cold voice, "Guo An, are you guilty?" ”
Guo An's face was full of grievances, "His Royal Highness King Huiyan, since he took office as the magistrate of Wanping County, although he has not made much merit, he has been diligent and diligent, and he really doesn't know what crime he has committed?" ”
"You're still not honest?"
On the side, Li Wang scolded Guo An angrily, then raised the account book in his hand and reported to Zhu Diyu: "Your Royal Highness, when the last general arrested this corrupt official, this corrupt official was holding this account book in his hand, and he must be preparing to use this to reclaim wasteland and do evil things of corruption!" ”
Zhu Di's expression was even more angry, "The evidence of the crime has been obtained by the guards under the command of this king, do you dare to deny it?" ”
At this time, Li Wang had already handed the account book in his hand to Zhu Di, Zhu Di slowly opened it, and after reading it, he couldn't believe it, rubbed his eyes, and looked down again.
It's just that there are still a lot of iron catalpa and iron arrowheads written on it...... and other farm tools, I couldn't help but be full of doubts.
I couldn't see any flaws, so I handed the account book to Changshi Zhu Fu on the side again.
Then, he asked Guo An tentatively: "Are you going to embezzle the farm tools of the people of Wanping County?" ”
"Your Highness is wronged, these are the grain chiefs and lieutenant chiefs of Wanping County, who sorted out the number of farm tools they lacked to reclaim the wasteland and handed them over to the lower officials!" Guo An hurriedly explained.
"The chiefs and lieutenants gave you the number of tools they lacked?"
No matter how he thought about it, Zhu Di didn't figure out the truth in this!
However, this time, Zhu Fu has also finished reading the account book, and he is also worried, as if it is really as Guo An said.
However, for the sake of insurance, he handed the account book to the Daoyan monk on the side.
And Monk Daoyan didn't refuse, just opened it directly.
Soon, Monk Daoyan closed the account book in his hand with a strange expression.
Seeing this, Zhu Di understood that the two advisers under him did not see the doorway of this account book.
With a grit in his heart, he threatened in a cold voice again: "You don't think that this king really can't find out, and now in the entire Wanping County, tens of thousands of people are complaining about the reclamation of wasteland, and the people's grievances are boiling."
Even, there are a large number of people who are abusing you, the magistrate of Wanping County, what do you explain? ”
Guo An smiled helplessly, "Your Highness, the lower official said that all this was arranged by the lower official, I don't know if you believe it or not?" ”
"You arranged it?"
Zhu Di's eyes widened suddenly, and he said angrily: "Do you say that this king believes it or not?" ”
On the side, Li Wang, Zhu Liang and other Yan Palace guards also sneered, stared at Guo An viciously, and shouted: "Your Highness, this thief official seems to have a simple face, but he didn't expect to be so cunning, and now he dares to quibble!"
Please also ask His Royal Highness to hand over this thief official to the last general, and the last general and others will be entertained, and he will be honest! ”
"No!"
Guo An panicked, and hurriedly begged Zhu Di for mercy, "Your Highness, the lower official has fine skin and tender meat, and he can't afford any punishment, please listen to the explanation of the lower official!" ”
Zhu Di slowly sat on the throne and looked at Guo An coldly, "What else can you explain now?" ”
Guo An hurriedly said well: "Your Highness, this matter is so ......"
With Guo An's narration, Zhu Di and Li Wang, Zhu Liang and others in the hall all looked weird.
The thing in front of me that Wanping Zhixian said seems to be really the same thing!
However, Zhu Di, Li Wang and others still can't accept it, they don't believe that in this world, there is such a good county that loves the people like a son?
In order to rule the people, he united all the people to abuse him? Show it to the merchants?
It's just that when he looked up and saw that Master Dao Yan on the side was nodding slightly, Zhu Di was a little swaying!
"How do you prove that you have not deceived the king by what you say?"
"Your Highness, you can just summon a few old men who are scolding the most ruthless officials to come, and you will find out as soon as you ask!" Guo An smiled bitterly.
Dig a pit and bury yourself, and be the first person to cross it!
Shame on people more than a thousand years later!
Looking at Guo An's non-fake look, Zhu Di squinted his eyes slightly, and said suspiciously, "Is it really your dog that makes the people of Wanping County complain?" ”
Li Wang and Zhu Liang still looked incredulous, "Your Highness, these thieves are the best at deceiving their superiors and subordinates, please don't be deceived by him!" ”
Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "You will personally lead people to Wanping County to find more than a dozen old people to come, and this king will personally ask!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Li Wang and Zhu Liang said with unwilling faces.
Then, he glared at Guo An viciously, and walked out quickly.
It's just that as soon as he walked out of the gate of Yanwang Palace with two teams of guards, he found that outside the gate of the palace, a group of old men were besieged.
They are all clamoring to meet King Yan!
"Who are you?"
Li Wang, Zhu Liang and the others were overjoyed, could it be that these old men heard that Guo An's thief had been arrested, and they all came to ask His Royal Highness King Yan to punish him severely!
"Back to this general, the grass people are the Fang Zheng of Jinchengfang under the rule of Wanping County, and I have come to ask to see His Royal Highness King Yan!"
"The grass people are the fangzheng of Mingyufang, and they have come to ask to see His Royal Highness King Yan!"
"Grass Folk ......"
A group of old men reported it, and a few old men hurried in the distance again, still covered with mud and weeds.
"Lu Fangzheng, how is the situation of the county?"
"This is good, how can the county lord be arrested by His Royal Highness King Yan?"
"Chief Ning Liang, you haven't gone in yet!"
Hearing this, Ning Daguang hurriedly looked at Zhu Liang and Li Wang, who were already dumbfounded.
"The grass people are Ning Daguang, the grain chief of Nanjia Village in the city, asking to see His Royal Highness King Yan!"
"So many of you have come to serve the thief...... The magistrate of Wanping County came to intercede? Zhu Liang looked confused, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he asked in disbelief.
"Exactly!"
Ning Daguang and Lu Zhangxian waited for the old man, and hurriedly replied.
Zhu Liang said with a strange expression, "Wait here for a while, and then I will go and report to His Royal Highness King Yan!" ”
However, before Zhu Liang could enter, a guard walked out of the palace.
"Your Highness has an order, please let the old men in!"
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Yan, thank you generals!"
Ning Daguang and Lu Zhangxian waited for the old man with a happy face, and hurriedly patted the soil and grass clippings on his body again, and then followed Li Wang, Zhu Liang and the others, and walked forward quickly.
A moment later.
Still in that side hall, Zhu Di, Dao Yan and the others looked at Ning Daguang and Lu Zhangxian and other old men kneeling below with strange expressions.
The face is incredible, and more is unbelievable!
"There is nothing false in what you say? If any thief dares to threaten you, he will tell the king bluntly, and after the king finds out, he will definitely uphold justice for the elders! ”
"Please also ask His Royal Highness King Yan to know that no one threatens the grass people and others. Guo Xianzun is really a good official, waiting on the street, and even the words of the countryside insulting the county honor, are all taught by the county honor! ”
Ning Daguang hurriedly explained.
