Chapter 244 Let me go and see the granary in your county
As soon as he arrived in this county government, Chen Xiao heard someone extremely inflatedly saying that the strong dragon would not suppress the local snake, and that he was the imperial envoy.
It really made Chen Xiao confused.
Is it really good to brag behind the scenes like this?
But, okay, at least Chen Xiao knew about it, it turned out that someone was targeting him behind this matter!
What...the prefect? a great figure in the imperial capital?
It's really similar to what he guessed at the beginning!
So he was going to be outside and listen for a while.
County government hall!
The county magistrate put down the teacup and said, "Everyone, we have done this matter this time. The five million taels of silver in the hands of the imperial envoy are not allowed, and we can share a little from it!"
When several other county magistrates heard this, their eyes lit up.
The master said, "Sir, since this imperial envoy can be an imperial envoy, I think it should not be simple."
The county magistrate said: "So what? Killing the imperial envoy has not happened before. Besides, what are you afraid of, Master? We are not dealing with this imperial envoy.
We just don’t help. When the imperial envoy dies, the prefect can still share some benefits for disaster relief. If we don’t do anything, there will be benefits. How good is it?”
The master seemed to be convinced and nodded, and felt that it made sense.
The county town and the chief clerk were so much more smiling that they couldn't close their mouths.
"However, I heard that this imperial envoy was decisive in killing. It is said that the county magistrate was killed by him on the first day of his trip to Sankou County..." The master spoke again.
The county magistrate frowned: "The county magistrate of Sankou County is useless. When he arrived at his own territory, he even asked someone to cut him down. He is really useless."
The master said: "After all, it's the imperial envoy..."
"Ha, so what about the imperial envoy? I am still a corrupt official. I am much more greedy than the Sankou County Magistrate. The granary of the county government in Laozi is not even granules. Even if his imperial envoy comes, what can I do to me?"
The county magistrate laughed and said.
At this moment, a figure came from outside: "What you said, is it true?"
"Of course it's true. Whoever lies with you will have the puppy!" said the county magistrate.
After saying that, he was stunned: "Who was talking just now?"
The master and others were confused.
Then, outside the door, a young man in fourth-rank official uniform walked in with a group of officers and soldiers.
The county magistrate was stunned.
The next moment, his face changed drastically, and he stood up from the chair in panic.
Several other county officials also realized the problem and stood up one after another and looked at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao had a strange smile on his face. After walking in step by step, he looked at the county magistrate.
The county magistrate swallowed: "Big...sir...you..."
"I am the imperial envoy of the imperial court!" Chen Xiao spoke lightly.
A few gentle words made several county officials so weak that their legs almost stood firm.
"Big...Master...Sir...Secrets and sirs just said...Nonsense, nonsense..."
The county magistrate really wanted to slap himself at this moment.
Chen Xiao snorted and said, "The strong dragon cannot defeat the local snake... It is not worthy of the imperial envoy... You are a corrupt official, and there are no storage particles. What can the imperial envoy do to you?"
The county magistrate was almost crying and said, "I...I was wrong lord...I brag...I pretended..."
"Then, is there any food in the granary?" Chen Xiao asked.
"Yes, yes..." the county magistrate hurriedly answered.
Chen Xiao said again: "Then why do I write you a document to support Sankou County and Qingchuan County? You don't want it? I think it's really no food, right?"
"Yes, yes, sir, our grain storage is absolutely true, but... our county is also worried about disasters, so the grain storage is not dared to move." said the county magistrate.
To be honest, Chen Xiao couldn't help but try to get Shangfang's sword and cut this guy off.
However, he held back, it was useful to keep this person.
"Is that right? I don't believe it. I want to go and see the grain storage. Whether you borrow it or not is the same thing. I just want to see if there is any food!!"
"Yes, really, sir, don't look at it..." said the county magistrate.
There is a hammer, and his grain storage is really as he said, without any particles, and he is greedy for it.
Chen Xiao also guessed that there was no grain stored in this county.
But he wanted to cheat this guy, so he said, "Since there is, I'll take a look?"
He insisted on seeing it. If not, Chen Xiao would immediately cut him with a knife.
If you don’t lend food to help Sankou County and Qingchuan County, Chen Xiao is too unable to kill you.
But if your grain storage does not meet the grain storage specifications stipulated by the Long Kingdom, then you are a death sentence.
The county magistrate was scared at this moment. He really didn't dare to let Chen Xiao go to see the grain storage.
But he wants to prove that he has. What should he do?
"Anyway, if you don't show it to me, it means there is no! Unless you don't show it to me, you can prove that there is food in your grain storage!"
The county magistrate hurriedly said, "Sir, how do you prove it?"
"It's very simple. Sign a document to me and donate two million kilograms of grain to Sankou County and Qingchuan County!"
That is, four million kilograms of grain, worth 20,000 taels of silver.
Although it is not the entire amount of grain storage, it is also a lot.
The county magistrate was confused. He was going to donate so much food there? There was no food in the grain storage at all?
But the problem is very embarrassing now. If there is food in storage, he can directly refuse: If I don’t donate, I dare not donate for the sake of the people of my county, and Chen Xiao has no choice but to do so?
But the problem is that the county government did not store grain, so he didn't donate it, so Chen Xiao wanted to go and take a look. As soon as he saw it, he was dead.
In other words, Chen Xiao clearly dealt with him.
Knowing that he had no grain in his grain storage, Chen Xiao insisted on going to see it, and the county magistrate would undoubtedly die.
But now I will give him a chance, and you can find a way to donate four million kilograms of grain. I won’t go see it, you can survive.
How to choose?
Is life important, or is it important to have four million kilograms of grain worth 20,000 taels of silver?
That's nonsense?
So, the county magistrate said with tears in his eyes:
"Sir, our county has food. Really, I donate... you don't need to go and see..."
Chen Xiao smiled: "Yes? I believe you, then what, bring the document, sign and stamp it!"
If you donate four million kilograms of food, once you sign and stamp it on the document, you will not be able to escape.
Otherwise, it will be a death sentence!
So, this county magistrate who used to be awesome and considered himself Qianglong, but now he is very cowardly.
Seeing him signing and stamping with tears in his eyes, Chen Xiao sneered:
"Oh, you said, how can I do you? How can I do you? I really can't do you!"
This sentence was so harsh that the county magistrate heard, and his face turned red, as if he was slapped red with a slap.
He brags about it, which makes me want to spend 20,000 taels of silver to buy grain to provide disaster relief.
Are you losing money?
The most terrifying thing is that Chen Xiao also added:
"By the way, I'll check your granary again in a while."
Hearing this, the county magistrate could no longer hold back the tears.
Now, he still has to replenish all the grain stored in the grain. This is not a problem that 20,000 taels can be solved.
Chapter completed!
