After time travel, my best friend and I exchanged supplies and became a rich woman

Chapter 390 It’s not shameful for us to be afraid of her



Jia Zhongcheng heard Chen Dongyue say that it was Shen Wanfu who was talking nonsense outside, and he hated it so much that his teeth itched.

But now he couldn't rush back and beat the brother-in-law to death, so he could only bite back, "Sir...Mr. Meng, I am also bewitched by Shen Wanfu.

It was he who told me that all the hotels and inns in Liaocheng were short of food and asked me to think of a way to get some food to help the public.

This time, Xianguan was confused by the lard... Xianguan didn't dare to touch the money he got from selling grain, he just kept it at home. Xianguan voluntarily turned it over to Mr. Meng.

However, the lower officials received only a small amount of the money from selling grain, and Shen Wanfu took the bulk of it! ! !

Sir... This official was instigated by a traitor! ! Sir~~~~~~"

Magistrate Meng rubbed his brows and said calmly: "Don't worry, your brother-in-law will not be let go either. He has already been arrested."

After saying that, he turned to Master Sun and asked, "Sun Tongzhi, as a former prefect, do you really have no idea that the people under your command have done such ridiculous things?!"

"I really don't know," Mr. Sun wiped the sweat from his forehead, "As you know last year, the government office didn't have time to suppress the bandits, so there was no time to check the granary's account books.

And the iron-handed patriot also said just now that Jia Zhongcheng concealed it so well... Didn't Jiang Tongpan inspect the granary twice last year? Were you really deceived by him at that time? "

Jiang Tongpuan nodded, "Yes, yes, it is indeed true. But the leader at that time was Liu Tongzhi who was arrested... What was there between him and Jia Zhongcheng... The official will not knew."

Hey......

Magistrate Meng sighed deeply.

This Yamen is really TND terrible.

But if he really wanted to investigate this matter, he would probably be taken into a ditch.

After all, according to his qualifications, he should only be a county magistrate.

No, no, if you really want to go by his qualifications, in fact, as the top three in the imperial examination, he couldn't even get into the Hanlin Academy.

In the Great Rong Dynasty, the most formal way to become an official was to be a first- or second-grade Jinshi, enter the Hanlin Academy for three years, and then go to the six ministries or the county government of each prefecture to hold a seventh-grade official position.

Then I’ll work my way up little by little.

For someone like him who became a magistrate before he was thirty, if an official bites him, he can really bite him off.

So Magistrate Meng didn't want to find out too clearly about today's matter.

He adheres to one principle: if things can be handled in his own house, don't bring them to the capital.

Therefore, Magistrate Meng has already made a decision in his mind about today's matter.

"Now that things have happened, we still have to make up for it as soon as possible." Magistrate Meng thought for a while and said, "Sun Tongzhi, you have been in Liaozhou for many years, and you must be very familiar with the grain merchants in our prefecture.

In this case, you should first ask how much rice and barley are expected to be available in Jiangnan this year, and at what price.

Then you, Jia Zhongcheng, and your brother-in-law, replenish all the grain in this granary for me.

Also, since this incident happened when Sun Tongzhi was the prefect, then you, Sun Tongzhi, are also to blame. You will also have to pay for food supplements when the time comes.

By the way, there is also you, Jiang Tongpuan, who is somewhat responsible for not investigating. I will also fine you to pay a thousand dan, ah no, three thousand dan of food before May.

I can make it clear to you that the food supplement will not be based on the more than 30,000 shi reported, but the more than 50,000 shi recorded in the accounts!

Before May, if you make up all the food supplies, I will give you a lighter punishment. If you don't make up the food... I, the prefect, don't want to do it anymore. You all go to Dali Temple to report to me!

So, do you all understand? ! "

When the people below heard it, who would dare to say that they didn’t understand?

Everyone nodded and shouted that they understood.

But Chen Dongyue quit, "No, Master Meng!!"

Everyone looked at Chen Dongyue.

Magistrate Meng frowned so much that he wished he could fly straight into the sky.

she! again! think! Dry! Well!

But Chen Dongyue was not afraid of the looks of these people at all.

She stood up, walked to Jia Zhongcheng, kicked him, and then asked in a deep voice: "This person buys and sells the imperial grain reserves, just forget it? Can you just fine him?~!"

After saying that, Chen Dongyue glanced at Magistrate Meng indifferently, then stretched out her fatal right index finger and shook it, "This is not good~~ Magistrate Meng."

Magistrate Meng shuddered for some reason.

Of course he knew that Chen Dongyue was related to Zhang Shilang's family of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so it was not easy to offend her now.

So he hurriedly added: "Of course it won't be a fine. Don't worry, Director Chen. I will put Jia Zhongcheng and his brother-in-law in prison for the time being, and wait for them to pay all the food before they are released."

"Master Meng is wise." The smile on Chen Dongyue's face was a bit cold, "But can you tell me, Sir, that these two are the lowest and the lowest, how many years will they have to spend in prison?"

"Sun, Lord Sun," Magistrate Meng, who was already a little weak, had goosebumps, "You have been magistrate for a long time, tell me, how should this situation be dealt with according to the law?"

Mr. Sun felt that he really didn't have the right posture when he got up today, and he probably broke some rules.

Why are you asking him about this? !

He and Jia Zhongcheng had a bit of a sneaky relationship with each other.

This is putting it lightly now, Chen Dongyue is afraid that she will be dissatisfied.

To be honest, I don’t know if Jia Zhongcheng will jump over the wall and bite him!

So he had no choice but to throw the issue back to Magistrate Meng, "Prefect Meng, you're welcome. No matter how we handled the case in the past, you are now our parent officer in Liaozhou, and you still have the final say on this matter."

Magistrate Meng cursed in his heart, you old gangster, you are too treacherous.

But facing Chen Dongyue's stern eyes, he could no longer escape.

So Magistrate Meng tentatively asked: "Confiscation of grain and silver, and three years of corvee service?"

Chen Dongyue said nothing, but pouted.

.....Kong Jie on the side looked at the beams on the roof.

How scary, such a sister-in-law, how can she still pout?

Magistrate Meng could only test again: "This punishment seems too light..."

"No, I'm not young anymore, Mr. Meng." Jia Zhongcheng curled up into a ball and rolled on the ground with tears.

But Magistrate Meng ignored him at all and asked tentatively: "Then... confiscate all family property and serve in corvee for five years?!"

"Okay," Chen Dongyue shrugged, "Whatever you say will be whatever you say. By the way, then Shen Wanfu..."

"One, the same?" Magistrate Meng seemed to be asking, but also seemed to be... No, he was just asking.

Chen Dongyue shrugged nonchalantly again, "Whatever you say is what you say. If nothing happens and the Inspection Department still has something to do, then I will take the first step."

"Okay, okay, go ahead." Magistrate Meng quickly waved to Chen Dongyue.

After Chen Dongyue left, Magistrate Meng sent Sun Tongzhi to inquire about the price of food, and Jia Zhongcheng was also taken to the cell by Ma Jingcheng.

At this time, a staff member of Prefect Meng asked in a low voice, "Sir, why are you so afraid of Director Chen? How come you... are from the Meng family in the capital!"

"Afraid of her?!" Magistrate Meng stood up, but because his vision went dark, he fell down on the chair again.

He rubbed his temples and said: "You know, women are often unreasonable and ignore the overall situation.

I am thinking that if I can save one thing, I will save one thing. After all, it is not easy for my uncle to be the left prime minister in the court. "

"That's right," the chief of staff nodded, "I see that Mr. Sun is quite afraid of her. It's normal for us to be strong and not to overpower local cowards. We don't want to be embarrassed."

“I don’t feel ashamed either!!!”

After saying this, Magistrate Meng felt his ears ringing again, his head felt dizzy, and he hurriedly called the doctor again...
