But why?

Previously, he invited the three of them to come according to Chi Zheng's wishes, but the three of them didn't give any face.

Why did you come to the door in person now?

He glanced thoughtfully at Chi Zheng and found that the Taoist Master was drinking tea indifferently, unmoved, and couldn't see anything wrong.

When things changed like this, in addition to the ghost of this Taoist chief, Governor Song really couldn't think of the second possibility.

If these three are really done, then the turning point will come, with the status of these three in Anping Mansion, as long as they agree to donate grain, then other gentry and heroes will also be forced to donate food and silver.

Song Zhifu was thinking about it, and the three of Tang Zhouqing over there couldn't wait to break in, and as soon as they entered the door, the three heads of the family, who were almost fifty years old, saw Chi Zheng sitting on the upper seat, and didn't say a word, as if they had seen a savior, and knelt down directly.

"Dao Chief, Dao Chief, help, Dao Chief!"

Crying bitterly, as if the evil ghost of hell had met the Bodhisattva, the three of them kowtowed, and the Song prefect was so shocked that he sat back again.

Good fellows! Even when I saw their mothers, they weren't so filial and pious, right?

Song Governor thought secretly.

"Help, you three are fine, what will you save your lives?"

Chi Zheng said indifferently.

"Dao Chief, Dao Chief, I am wrong, I am wrong, I should not be greedy for money, I should not be careless of people's lives, I should not oppress the people, I should not be lustful for profit......"

One kept slapping himself, and the other cried: "Dao Chief, I shouldn't have no king in the fish and meat town......"

Another kowtow: "Dao Chief, I am guilty, I am guilty, I am treacherous, I have done evil, I am more than innocent ......"

Song Zhifu was so shocked that he stood up again, his eyes were about to pop out, and finally turned into a sigh and sat down slowly, "You guys...... Hey, why bother!"

As he spoke, he thought of himself, and couldn't help but feel sad, and said to Chi Zheng: "Dao Chief, although these three are bold and reckless, if they are willing to donate food to help the people this time, they will atone for their sins." ”

But the people below are still kowtowing and admitting their mistakes: "Dao Chief, I am at fault, I shouldn't have secretly communicated with the Song Governor's Mansion and used my power for personal ......gain."

Another person also admitted his mistake: "Dao Chief, I am also at fault, I should not collude with the Song Governor's Mansion, so as to damage the public and private interests, and loot the people's property......"

The last person even cried out: "Dao Chief, I am even more at fault, I shouldn't collude with the officials and businessmen of the Song Governor's Mansion and be a traitor......

Governor Song was so shocked that he stood up suddenly, immediately bowed his hand to Chi Zheng, and said categorically: "Dao Chief, these three people are full of evil, so arrogant, they are simply unforgivable, I propose to be sent to death row immediately and executed immediately." ”

What a "tail grudge", I'm afraid that this little chic didn't dig the ancestral graves of these three people, right? Well, the ancestral graves won't be like this.

Chi Zheng saw that the three old men were so frightened that they wiped their tears and snot, and couldn't help but feel sympathy: "Death row? ”

Hearing this, the three of them glared at the Song Governor's Mansion with hatred, as if they were all the fault of the Song Governor's Mansion.

You guys...... What the are you staring at me?

You're just dead and late, I'm almost losing my official hat!

Ignoring the hatred of these three people, Governor Song continued to suggest to Chi Zheng: "Dao Chief, no matter what, let's see if these three are willing to donate food to help the people." ”

"I do!"

"I do!"

"I do, too!"

The three of them immediately shouted without hesitation.

"Good!"

Chi Zheng slapped the table and said solemnly: "Okay, good, since the three of them are willing to donate food, they are all good people, how can they be Ling Chi? ”

I'm a damn, a thousand canes and even the bones are beaten to ashes, right?

——————

The corners of Song Zhifu's mouth twitched, and he almost didn't shake the saliva out.

"Dao Chief, I am willing to donate a thousand stones!"

"Dao Chief, I am willing to donate a thousand stones. ”

"Dao Chief, I am also willing to donate a thousand stones. ”

When Chi Zheng heard this, he looked at Governor Song: "How long can these grains be available for the displaced people inside and outside the city?"

"If 3,000 stone of grain is only for the homeless, it can only be eaten for five days. ”

Song Governor said.

"Not bad. ”

Chi Zheng nodded: "In this way, the three of them will be punished with a maximum of eight hundred." ”

Oh, 800 rods, maybe you can see some bone slag, right?

Governor Song almost pinched off his beard.

"Dao Chief, I, I miscalculated, I am willing to donate 3,000 stones. ”

"Dao Chief, I, I also miscalculated, I am willing to donate 3,000 stones. ”

"I would like to donate 4,000 stone of grain. ”

The last one plucked up the courage to speak.

Chi Zheng did the math in his heart, exactly 10,000 stone of grain, which can be eaten for about seventeen days, but this premise is only for homeless people.

"Good. ”

Chi Zheng applauded: "The three of them are too generous, so that at most, the rod can be punished by five hundred, and the last person can be punished with only four hundred." ”

If you go on like this, you can leave some minced meat.

Song Governor thought secretly.

"Hey, Dao Chief, I, I miscalculated again, I am willing to donate 5,000 grains, no, 7,000 stones. ”

The head of the Tang family who said this was almost distressed to death, with an expression of "I am dying".

"I am also willing to donate 7,000 stone of grain. ”

"I donated 10,000 stone of grain. ”

The last head of the Qing family yelled, his eyes red, and he looked at the two next to him dumbfounded.

"Good!"

Chi Zheng stood up and stepped forward to help the head of the Qing family up, "There are such gentry in Anping Mansion, it is really a blessing for the people!"

The head of the Qing family was flattered and didn't even dare to say it.

The other two said eagerly: "Dao Chief, I am also willing to donate 10,000 stone of grain." ”

"It's too late, you two have to add another two thousand stones. ”

Chi Zheng said with emotion: "Poor Dao is merciful, and he doesn't want to kill more, but he can't bear to see the two of you being punished with three hundred rods." ”

"Yes, thank you for your mercy. ”

The head of the Tang family and the head of the Zhou family are crying and grateful.

In this way, two months of food is enough.

If the food from the imperial court does not come for two months...... Chi Zheng can't do it either.

This is not something that can be solved by threatening a few corrupt officials or killing a few gentry and powerful people.

When the three heads of the family went home to collect food with crying faces, Song Zhifu flattered: "The Taoist chief still has the ability, those three are not pulling out a dime on weekdays, and if they want them to produce a grain of rice, they can kill them, but the Taoist chief just talks about it, and he can make these three iron roosters pluck out their feathers." ”

"Poor Dao is not a casual talk. "Chi Zheng thought to himself that I came prepared, otherwise would you be able to cry bitterly and take out all the money from your family?

Ah, isn't this a casual talk?

Song Zhifu trembled, and remembered the nightmarish scene again, not to mention, this Taoist chief in front of him can really do terrible things, thinking about the whip marks on the inner thigh, he was so frightened that he wanted to cry.

Well, those three pay this price to be forgiven.

So what price do I have to pay?

Thinking left and right, the prefect of Song suddenly regretted that he was too greedy in the past, if he had been more greedy at the beginning, he would have been able to donate more silver taels to help the people now, and he would not have to worry about being scolded by the rod for donating less.
