Chapter 51: Crush out a gem heart

Qi Dongfang looked at the two little kids and found it very interesting. At this time, he could no longer find what he thought. Listening to what the two of them said casually, Qi Dong's sweat flowed faster, and he found that the weather was not so hot, and there was a kind of coldness from the inside out.

If possible, Qi Dong really wanted to strangle the two kids to death, but he could only think about it. Not to mention that there were guards standing next to the two kids, even if there was no one around him, he would not dare to take action.

He naturally knew who the two little kids were, one was the son of the governor's family and the other was the future daughter-in-law. Whoever dared to do the bad things to them was not good enough, and the people here would be able to tear them up first.

Since he couldn't do it, he could only take other methods. Qi Dong thought about it and found that there was nothing that could attract children. He grabbed a handful of mud from the ground. There was a lot of sand and moved it hard. He first ate the big grains of sand, so he could barely squeeze the rest.

Everyone else was having a meal. He made a small grass stick there, which was both pinched and carved. Soon, two little clay men holding hands were pinched out. Their faces looked similar to those of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. They didn't care about the feeling of the sweat that made the clothes stick to their bodies due to the heat and nervousness. They smiled and sent them to Zhang Xiaobao and the others who were eating next to them.

"Young master, see if it's fun? If it's fun, I'll pinch it for you. You two said I'll pinch it, and I can pinch it out whatever you want."

This is the only way Qi Dong can think of, and I look forward to it to be useful.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan stopped chopsticks, looked at the clay man, then looked at Qi Dong, nodded one after another, and before Qi Dong could express his purpose, Zhang Xiaobao spoke.

"It's fun. I didn't expect that you not only have good accounts, but also have such a coincidence. You can really pinch it out if we tell you what kind of stuff you can pinch it?"

"Yes, absolutely, I can. The young master and the young lady said, I'll just pinch it after I said it." When Qi Dong saw that there was a door, he quickly promised happily.

Wang Juan glanced at the place where salt was boiled and said with a smile: "I want a clay man like that."

"Which one?" Qi Dong asked.

"It is a good county magistrate who can always think about the people and not try his best to make up the money, just to be able to sell salt every day. He must have a heart that is purer than a gem, he must have a pair of clear eyes, he must have a full body of air, even if his nose is a little bit short, even if his eyes are smaller, he is tall in the eyes of the people, as majestic as a mountain and as vast as the sea. I wonder if you can pinch it out?"

Wang Juan still said to Qi Dong with a smile.

With a click, the clay man in Qi Dong's hand fell to the ground, and then he knelt down at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan with a plop, his face full of horror and his body trembling.

It seemed as if Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan hadn't seen it. They continued to lower their heads and eat, and from time to time they would pick up the other party's favorite food on the plate, looking like they were young and innocent.

The people in recent days also heard Wang Juan's words. Anyone who is not stupid knows who Wang Juan is talking about. Only then did they realize that the Qi County Magistrate has been cheating them of cooking salt for several days, saying that it was for others to eat and save money for the governor, but in fact he left it himself.

Everyone was so angry that they stopped eating. They stood up and surrounded Qi Dong. If they hadn't seen the young master and the young lady were not moving around, they really wanted to cook Qi Dong as sea water to see if they could cook a heart that was purer than a gem.

"I'm guilty, I know I'm wrong, I'm guilty." Qi Dong thought that the account he made was good, and no one would find out. Now he understood that it must be the governor who sent two little kids to come after he found out.

While saying that he was guilty, he kowtowed there.

Zhang Xiaobao stuffed the last rice pellet into his mouth, clicked his mouth twice, rinsed his mouth with water, looked at Qi Dong who was kneeling there and said, "My father asked me to ask you, are you unable to do things with peace of mind if you are burdened with gambling debts?"

"No, I never gamble." Qi Dong shook his head and replied.

"A family member is sick and has no money to treat? It requires good medicine?" Zhang Xiaobao asked again.

"No one is sick, they are all fine." Qi Dong continued to shake his head.

"Can you have children to marry?"

"The child is only ten years old and the daughter is only seven years old. How can she get married? No."

"Since you don't have it, then your sin of greed cannot be reduced. How will you be sentenced? If you are sentenced to prison, the jade and silk are not in accordance with the law, the staff will be seventy; if you are missing a number, the staff will be one hundred; if you are missing a total of one year, the entire number means one sitting. If you are redeemed in front and the subsequent one should return it.

Or should I judge those who beg for the officials and those who are powerful and powerful, and those who are begging for the stolen goods will be reduced by one level; those who are going to give up will be the one who is the one who is the one who is going to sit by. Otherwise, I will be confused, what are you talking about in Qi County?”

Zhang Xiaobao looked at Qi Dong and asked. Qi Dong was trembling when he heard these two crimes. He couldn't get rid of any of them. Some things could not be said. For example, if you really count this way, the New Governor's family would have been enough to kill countless times, bribes countless times, businessmen for personal gain, car decrees, etc., disobey the rules, too many servants at home, private officials, and some unknown people, and even those who can't be investigated.

But no one cares about the governor. If he is caught, it doesn’t matter how big the crime he is. What matters is that he can convict himself.

Qi Dong, who dared to think and not say anything, could only kowtow and say that he was guilty and did not say anything.

Of course, Zhang Xiaobao would not sentence Qi Dong to the punishment. He was skillful and talented. If he had done the small account, he would save himself a lot of trouble in the future. He would ask him to check the accounts elsewhere and think it would be fine.

Now what I think about is to show other people and give an explanation to the people around me. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaobao ordered: "Come here, tie Qi Dong and send it to my father's place. He can be locked up for a hundred sticks and locked him up for a year. If he can't be beaten to death, he will be lucky."

The guard had already received an explanation when he came. When he heard the order, he tied Qi Dong up without saying a word. Qi Dong didn't struggle and was frightened by the hundred sticks. So many times, let alone deliberately trying to be too fierce, even if he beat him up, he would even get rid of his skin even if he didn't die.

He knew that Zhang Xiaobao had no right to let him tie him up, but he didn't dare to say anything. It would be better if he didn't take him away. Otherwise, the people would not be allowed to eat him once Zhang Xiaobao and others left. By then, so many people beat him, and if they die, they would not be enough to hold some light responsibility. I think Zhang Zhong would not be able to sentence the people who beat him to death.

"You dare to be corrupt and abuse the law. When there is no expert in checking the accounts in our house? Everyone, the bad guy has been arrested, let's continue to eat. Oh, there is also a penman, who comes, and you will also be arrested."

Qi Dong was taken away. Zhang Xiaobao said something to the people around him, and then arrested the pen-doctor who cooperated with the crime. Then he and Wang Juan brought the plates that had finished their meal to the washing place and left happily.

Zhang Xiaobao was not worried that other people who had thoughts would not know that the speed of spreading news was beyond imagination. It took less than a day for everyone in the state to know about this matter. As for what it was spread, it would not care.

Seeing Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan leave, the people who knew the situation gave a mess of cheers and began to say excitedly to those who were not sure about things. The more they said, the more they became, the more outrageous they became.

When the people hated Qi Dong and the pen-sword official, they also admired the great officials even more. They were so obsessed with the wise and were caught after making a few small moves.

The news was indeed very fast. When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan rode back to the mansion, all the working people and managers knew what happened at noon. A few of them were ready to learn to do it. At this time, they were all frightened. Fortunately, they had not done it yet, and the governor took action early. Otherwise, when they learned to do it, there would be no chance of regret.

Zhang Zhong also heard about this. He really didn't know that someone had made fake accounts. After learning the detailed situation, he sighed for Qi Dong. He had a bad idea. He made fake accounts and went to Xiaobao. Is this just asking for death? The son is all responsible for the accounts at home. There are countless transactions, and it is very easy to manage. A mere county magistrate dares to give fake accounts to his son.

Qi Dong was not taken to Zhang Zhong, but was taken back to the mansion directly. No one beat him, nor did he be locked up in a prison cell, but locked up in a woodshed, locked up and threw it into the corner, leaving him alone.

He was locked up until the evening. No one came to deliver him food, and there was no water. It was hot and he was stuffy in the woodshed. After only half a day, he was a little exhausted. The main reason was not physical problems, but psychological pressure, and he didn't know how to judge him, nor did he know what would happen to the people at home after receiving the news.

All afternoon he was thinking about what went wrong. The clearest thing was that the salt eaten and the salt cooked were not in line with each other. But if this was only checked, it might not be possible. Unless a smart person came to see it, could it be calculated by a certain citizen? And it was deliberately arranged here to be in touch with the governor?

How could he know that it was because he made the accounts too detailed, considered too many things, and had a slight loophole, which made him trouble, especially when it came to firewood. Even if he didn't remember it, Zhang Xiaobao wouldn't say anything. Different woods and different ways of cooking food also used different amounts of firewood.

Firewood is not valuable, so it is okay not to remember it, but he insisted on writing it to the account according to the firewood consumed by others, which was purely a scattered thing. I wonder what he would think if he understood it.

"Xiaobao, just lock him up like this? When did you lock him up? I'm afraid his body can't bear it." When he returned to the mansion, Wang Juan looked at the direction where the wood room was located and asked Zhang Xiaobao.

"Give him some water tonight. As for going to the toilet, he will think of a solution by himself, or he will endure it. When will he figure out why he didn't hit him or how he should do it, then when will he let him go? He can only give him water to drink in the first three days, and no one will die."

Zhang Xiaobao is a test for Qi Dong.
