Chapter 23 This is the dog official who took advantage of King Yan!
"Then how do you explain this account book?"
Zhu Di did not believe in evil and once again took out the account book Li Wang brought back and asked.
Ning Daguang quickly took it and took a look at it. He glanced at Zhu Di strangely and then cautiously replied, "Your Highness, King Yan, please forgive me. This account book was compiled by us. We are the common people in each country."
When reclaiming wasteland, there is a shortage of farm tools!”
"Do you need an iron plow to open up wasteland? A waterwheel..."
Zhu Di was not easy to fool, he stared at Ning Daguang with a mocking look on his face.
Ning Daguang panicked and subconsciously looked at Guo An aside.
Seeing this, Guo An suddenly felt bad!
"Um?"
Sure enough, Zhu Di was furious, stared at Ning Daguang and asked in a deep voice: "I asked you about the account book, why do you want to look at this thief official?
Is it possible that you, the elders from various circles, have colluded with this traitorous official?"
"Your Highness has misunderstood!"
Seeing that Zhu Di's misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper, Guo An hurriedly explained.
Ning Daguang and other old men also said quickly, "Your Highness has misunderstood, and we definitely did not collude with the county magistrate!"
Unfortunately, Ning Daguang's look made Zhu Di no longer believe in Guo An, "I will pull this thief officer aside and shut his mouth!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Things have turned around, and Li Wang and Zhu Liang are the happiest people.
He directly carried Guo An aside, took out a piece of dark, smelly linen cloth from his arms, and stuffed it into Guo An's mouth very roughly!
"Woooo..."
After one sip, Guo An was so smoked that he rolled his eyes.
It's a pity that no one paid attention to him this time.
Seeing this, Ning Daguang, Lu Zuanxian and others looked even more anxious.
Zhu Di was overjoyed, but he still stared closely at Ning Daguang, Lu Zanxian and other old men.
"What's wrong with this account book? If you all tell me honestly, I will forgive you. Otherwise, when I find out, all your family members will be implicated!"
"Your Highness, forgive me, and the common people will tell you the truth!"
"Caomin and others must tell the truth!"
Ning Daguang, Lu Zanxian and others quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Humph, then tell me carefully!"
The corners of Zhu Di's mouth curved slightly, with a look of pride on his face. A mere county magistrate dared to cause trouble under the eyes of King Yan. He really didn't know how to live or die!
Then, I sat down on the chair again, ready to listen.
Ning Daguang, who was below, did not dare to hide anything, and said quickly: "Go back to His Majesty King Yan, the day before we wait to reclaim the wasteland, the county magistrate sent all the li chiefs and grain chiefs of Wanping County to us.
They all called out and told them to just reclaim the wasteland with confidence and boldness.
Because the reclamation of wasteland is an order issued by His Highness King Yan, we are the first county to actively implement the order of His Highness King Yan. If we encounter any difficulties while reclaiming wasteland, we can come to see His Highness King Yan.
, His Highness will never ignore it!
Especially the lack of food, labor, servants... and even difficulties in paying summer taxes this year...
As for this account book, it was specially compiled by the grain chiefs and district chiefs of the county magistrates a few days ago, and was only handed over to the county magistrates today.
Originally, we lacked more tools such as iron shovels and shovels, but we were afraid that His Highness King Yan would not give them to us, so we also removed a lot of them..."
The entire hall suddenly fell silent, with only Ning Daguang stumbling and talking.
Above, Zhu Di's eyes slowly widened, his face full of weirdness.
On both sides of the hall, Zhu Fu, Dao Yan, Li Wang, Zhu Liang and others had their eyes widened with strange expressions on their faces.
How can this damn official be colluding with the grain chief and li chief below?
He is obviously a very courageous dog official, and a group of ignorant grain chiefs and village chiefs, who regard His Highness the King of Yan as a wealthy businessman waiting to be slaughtered, and plan to use the matter of reclaiming wasteland to defraud His Highness the King of Yan into getting more good things!
After Ning Daguang finished speaking, he noticed the strange atmosphere in the hall and cautiously raised his head to look up.
I found that His Highness Prince Yan was staring, not knowing what he was thinking about, and subconsciously held his breath, not daring to let out a breath!
"Ahem..."
After a long while, Zhu Di came back to his senses and coughed awkwardly.
Then, with a straight face again, he looked at Lu Zanxian and others aside.
"Elders, is this really the case?"
"Back to His Highness King Yan, no matter how courageous Cao Min and others are, they would not dare to deceive His Highness!" Lu Zanxian said quickly.
In the hall, more than a dozen old men nodded.
Seeing this, Zhu Di finally believed it!
Then, he subconsciously looked at Guo An, who was being squeezed into the corner by Li Wang and Zhu Liang, and said with a smile: "So, have I really wronged Guo Zhixian?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Seeing that Zhu Di finally repented, Guo An quickly opened his eyes and shouted crazily.
Beside them, Li Wang and Zhu Liang looked embarrassed.
Zhu Di was a little confused, "Does Magistrate Guo have something to say?"
Zhu Fu reminded: "Your Highness, can you untie the cloth stuffed in Guo Zhixian's mouth?"
Zhu Di woke up suddenly, with a furious look on his face, and shouted at Li Wang and Zhu Liang: "Damn it, what are you two doing in a daze? Why don't you quickly pull the cloth off Guo Zhixian's mouth!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Li Wang responded, stretched out his hand, and the cloth on Guo An's mouth was torn off and stuffed back into his waist.
"Huh~huh...it stinks to death...vomit..."
Guo An suddenly felt that he could breathe easier in his mouth, but then his expression changed and he hurriedly ran out.
When he arrived outside the main hall, he leaned out of the railing, opened his mouth wide, and vomited down like crazy!
"Go and see, what happened to Guo An?"
In the hall, Zhu Di, Zhu Fu and others looked at each other in confusion.
Hearing this, Li Wang and Zhu Liang seemed to notice something, and subconsciously raised their hands to smell it!
So stinky!
Zhu Liang glanced at Li Wang with disgust and walked out quickly.
After a long while, Guo An walked in with a pale face.
Li Wang smiled and apologized to Guo An, "Please don't blame County Magistrate Guo. I just took out the piece of sweat cloth because I was anxious..."
"Han cloth..."
Looking at Li Wang who was covered in black, Guo An couldn't help but feel his stomach churn.
"Ugh~"
"this……"
Looking at Guo An who ran out again, Li Wang looked innocent. He was just a piece of sweat. Why was he like this?
Literary people are delicate!
In the hall, everyone had strange faces.
Zhu Di scolded angrily: "Damn it, you put your sweat cloth that makes even war horses into people's mouths!"
"The general will finally realize his mistake!" Li Wang quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
After another long while, Guo Ancai walked in from outside the hall with a look of despair.
Zhu Di asked with concern: "Is Guo Zhi County better?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness!"
Guo An had a dry face and casually saluted Zhu Di.
Put a smelly, sour, dirty black cloth in your mouth. Would you like to try it?
Zhu Di didn't mind anything about this! On the contrary, he was still a little ashamed!
This time, it was the first time that he had wronged a good official! Moreover, it was an official whom he had always had great expectations for!
