Chapter 479: Traveling to the lake, she can’t eat meat(1/2)
Donor Shao did not open the door to Zhou Zhang immediately, but asked his wife first.
"Can I open the door for him?"
Wen Xiaonian, please!
Shao Jingheng then opened the door for Zhou Zhang.
As soon as Zhou Zhang saw Shao Jingheng, he immediately gave him a big bear hug.
Shao Jingheng was immediately disgusted and wanted to kick him.
Fortunately, I held back.
Mainly because Zhou Zhang let go of him, but then he paused, "Brother Jingheng, do you know..."
He told Shao Jingheng everything that happened to the governor and the magistrate's family.
I thought Shao Jingheng would be very surprised.
But Shao Jingheng was found to be unusually calm.
Only then did Zhou Zhang realize, how could all of this be such a coincidence?
It happened that Shao Jingheng had just arrived in their county, and it happened that the governor and the county magistrate wanted to quarrel with Shao Jingheng.
No no no.
This is no coincidence at all.
It is clearly the handiwork of Shao Jingheng.
Zhou Zhang hugged Shao Jingheng's arm as if he suddenly understood, and flattered him, "Brother Shao, you are so clever!"
He wants to continue talking...
Even if Shao Jingheng interrupted him, "Shh!"
Be careful that the partition wall has ears.
Zhou Zhang quickly cooperated with "Shh".
But there's nothing to boo about. Both the governor and the county magistrate guessed that it was him who did it, and now he's at the door of Zhou's house.
They seemed to be blinded by anger.
Without any hesitation, he rushed into Zhou's house and shouted at Shao Jingheng to come out as he ran inside.
How could Shao Jingheng come out?
Isn’t that looking for a fight?!
He had expected such an incident and had arranged for guards to stop people in the courtyard in advance.
That is to say, as soon as the two of them entered the courtyard, the door of the Zhou family was closed, and at the same time, three or five guards rushed out to tie them up.
Both of them were stunned.
It seems that only then did he realize, what are they doing?
The food in their cellar was all grain with official seals. It was obvious that they had embezzled the disaster relief grain, and now that they were found out, they should have hidden it.
How can you run away and throw yourself into a trap?
Both of them were angry with themselves.
But what made them even more angry was what was happening behind them.
Shao Jingheng didn't come out to see them all night until noon the next day.
He seemed to have just woken up. He stretched lazily and went outside. When he saw the governor and the county magistrate, he looked confused.
Confused, he asked, "Hey, why are you two here?"
Two people...
As long as they are not stupid, they can guess what Shao Jingheng means.
But they couldn't escape, so they didn't say anything.
Shao Jingheng sneered.
Looks like you haven’t had enough!
That night, he threw them into the courtyard for a whole night.
It's already June, and it's not cold at night, but it's hot!
In particular, Shao Jingheng deliberately tied them together, which made them extremely hot. In addition, they were exposed to the sun all day long.
The two actually fainted and died in the middle of the night.
There are guards keeping vigil in the courtyard.
Seeing that they were fainting, the guards immediately came to report to Shao Jingheng.
Shao Jingheng is sleeping.
Hearing the guard's voice coming from outside the door, he immediately got dressed and went to the door to ask the guard to keep his voice down so as not to wake up his wife.
Wen Xiaonian slept very lightly when she was outside.
She had actually heard the guard's first shout.
I just pretended not to hear and continued to sleep.
Shao Jingheng followed him out of the courtyard to have a look and confirmed that the governor and the county magistrate were really fainting. Then he asked the guards to call the doctor.
The Zhou family has a great business and has a doctor in the house.
The government doctor diagnosed both of them as suffering from heat stroke.
He went to make some mung bean soup for the two of them, and after they woke up, they drank it.
Shao Jingheng meant that he still wanted them to stay outside, but the two finally gave up and began to beg for mercy.
"My lord, my lord, wait a minute..."
They began to beg for mercy, confessed to having withheld the food distributed by the court, and signed a confession.
In this way, Shao Jingheng's errand for this trip was mostly completed.
And now that they've confessed...
Then the refugees should take a good look at the evidence of their crimes.
The next day, Shao Jingheng asked the guards to take them out for a parade. Many refugees grabbed sand from the ground and threw them at them, while they all cursed angrily.
What can the governor and the county magistrate do?
If they were still governors and county magistrates, they would have eaten these refugees alive at this moment, but now they are not.
Then I can only endure it.
At the end of the parade, both of them were covered in sand.
Shao Jingheng still had to distribute the food he brought this time.
This completely solves the problem of refugees.
The refugees were finally resettled.
Shao Jingheng was ready to go back to Kyoto.
Wen Xiaonian didn't expect the matter to be resolved so quickly. She thought it would take a long time.
She didn't say anything.
The next day, I packed my bags with Shao Jingheng and embarked on the return journey.
This time they have to take the governor and the county magistrate back with them. These two people are criminals and need to go back to accept punishment.
At the same time, their family members will also be detained locally.
For the crimes committed by the governor and the county magistrate, they must be executed and their families must be exiled.
On the way back, Shao Jingheng still separated from the guards.
He asked his guards to still take the water route, and take the governor and the county magistrate with them, while he and his wife took the land route.
Wen Xiaonian really wanted to take a boat ride.
The main reason is that she has never been on a boat.
Shao Jingheng saw her thoughts and said he would take her to sit on the boat.
There are many pleasure boats here.
People can eat and drink on the boat and travel around the rivers and lakes.
Wen Xiaonian sounded pretty good.
She agreed.
Before setting off, the two of them came to a nearby lake. The lake was very large and there were many boats docked on the shore.
To be continued...
