Chapter 294: Big Corrupt Official!
The box is very heavy, and it is very difficult to carry it in groups of two!
So the thousand-faced fox concluded that there must be some treasure hidden in it, and quietly followed!
Sure enough, when they arrived in the study, after everyone saw Master 'Zheng Keyi', they opened all these boxes!
The silver light was dazzling, illuminating the entire study room, and it turned out to be fifty taels of silver ingots.
"Tsk! This is only the first batch of disaster relief funds, a part of the 500,000 taels ,......."
Zheng Keyi picked up one silver ingot, and the corners of his eyes were smiling.
Last time, because of Yi Zhiping, his loss was not small. More than a million taels of silver were handed over to the state treasury.
He is distressed, he is really distressed! But it doesn't matter, as long as he has his own official position, are you afraid that you won't be able to get the money? And at this time, the silver will be sent down!
A total of 100,000 taels, which is the disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court!
And in addition to this disaster relief money, there is also grain, 200,000 stone of grain.
These things are now in his storehouse, but he has no intention of distributing them.
"My lord, the officials below are all urging this relief food! Shall we send some of them first? lest they make trouble?"
At this time, it was a master who spoke, a satin gown, a bloated figure, and a three-wisp goatee.
"Troublemaker? If any of them dares to make trouble, that is, the official doesn't want to be a person, and in front of my Lord Zhizhou, they are all a fart. I sent a letter to tell them to save themselves first, saying that it had been raining for days, the road was slippery and difficult to walk, and the imperial court's disaster relief food had not yet arrived!"
Zheng Keyi looked very helpless. He was thinking about embezzling these silver taels and disaster relief food, so that he could plug his shortfall.
"My lord, I know that you love money, but you can't just not pay it at all, right? When the time comes, even if those officials don't make trouble, the victims will make trouble, and if it provokes a civil uprising, it will be a big thing!"
The master advised again. But Zheng Keyi threw down the silver ingots one after another, and said with a little displeasure: "Let me tell you about you, I raise you on weekdays, but when it comes to the critical moment, it is useless at all."
I want silver, I want silver to feed you! Otherwise, where will your prize money come from for the New Year's holidays? With so many yamen, you can eat so fat! You can't think of one, so you won't have any allowance this year, so you can just eat and eat it!"
As soon as Zheng Ke said a word, everyone was stupid. These people, all of them are the same as Zheng Keyi.
Zheng Keyi is a big corrupt official, and you are under his hands, and if you are not greedy, then you must have a problem, and he clearly does not want to kill you, but also tries to kill you behind his back.
Therefore, there is not a single clean person in his entire Qinlin Mansion.
"My lord, I have a plan,......
"If you have a plan, just say it, don't talk nonsense, hurry up!"
Zheng Keyi was a little impatient, but the master reported: "Recently, Linxian County has been flooded, there is no harvest, the houses are flooded, and the price of grain has risen sharply! It has risen by more than 20 times, and seeing that a month has passed, the price of grain will rise, we might as well sell this grain for disaster relief!"
"Sell it, you can't sell it! You have to have some food to send out?"
Zheng Ke smacked his lips, he also wanted to sell, now that the price of grain is so high, selling grain may make more than disaster relief silver. But you can't get food, and the problem is still not solved.
"My lord, can we be shoddy? We will sell the relief grain, and then go to a few landlords and rich households to collect their grain from the storehouse!"
"Is the grain edible? It's not rat droppings, it's dirt, and some of it is moldy and spoiled?"
"My lord, what do you care about him? Now that the victims can't eat, he wants to take two bites. That's food...... My lord, I've calculated, a bag of grain, sold for money, you can buy more than 20 bags of chaff, do the math, is this a good deal?"
"Oh, you're a bad trick,...... No, you're a good idea, okay, I'll do it! Then sell the grain, take back the silver, and then use the relief money to buy the chaff, and when the time comes, the money and grain will be distributed together, and we will make money from selling the grain!"
"Yes, my lord, you are wise!
The master patted the sycophants, and the officials gave thumbs up one by one.
"Okay, you guys go down first! I'll count the silver, and besides, it's okay today, don't let anyone in......!"
Zheng Keyi's old problem, every time he gets money, he has to count it himself, and then put it into the warehouse.
And he has a small account book that records the money he has embezzled in the past few years. And who gave what gifts.
He had to memorize all these things, so that he would not be forgotten by himself.
As the saying goes, take people's money and eliminate disasters with people, if you take other people's money and don't do things for others, then someone will definitely come to you for trouble in the future!
"Hehe! Silver, silver......"
As soon as Zheng Ke was in the box containing the silver, he rolled one by one, and this began to record.
"The disaster relief money was used to buy some dregs and chaff, which was shoddy in exchange for disaster relief food, and then the disaster relief grain was sold for 500,000 yuan...... I'm a genius who made fifty taels of silver for nothing!"
Zheng Keyi was very happy, but he didn't want a figure, but he blocked his light.
"Who? Don't tell you, don't bother me if it's okay?"
Zheng Keyi looked impatient and didn't look up, but someone dragged the pamphlet in his hand.
"Chirp, are you really a big corrupt official?
Zheng Ke looked up and was so frightened that he almost didn't come out. It turned out to be Yi Zhiping!
Yi Zhiping is too familiar to him, and the person standing in front of him at this time is Yi Zhiping.
"Yi Gongzi, why are you here? Return the account book to me, I will do it for you, you can do whatever you want me to do,......"
Zheng Keyi was so frightened that he swallowed and spit, and gave up his hand again and again, that is, he begged Yi Zhiping to let him live.
"Don't be kidding, I'll tell you the truth, I'm here to kill you this time!"
The thousand-faced fox screamed, and actually pulled out the seven-star moon-gazing knife.
Zheng Keyi also knew this knife, so frightened that he hid back again and again, and actually hit the offering table behind him, and the decorations on the table made a clanging sound.
"Don't, don't make trouble, Yi Gongzi? Murder has to be justified, not to mention, your father is an official of the imperial court?"
"Really?"
If Zheng Keyi didn't mention this matter, the Thousand-Faced Fox would not be angry. And when it came to this, the thousand-faced fox was not very angry, if it weren't for this Zheng Keyi's embezzlement of disaster relief food, his 100,000 taels of silver, why would he have disappeared?
So at this time, there was nothing to say, the thousand-faced fox was angry from the heart, and the evil was born to the side of the guts, and a knife stabbed Zheng Keyi's chest...... (To be continued.) )
