Chapter 698
Xie Yunjin asked this question in front of everyone. As soon as he opened his mouth, there was an instant silence on the field, and then the tea farmer opened his mouth: "Sir, we have always only received fifteen cents a pound of tea, and those who can get thirty cents are extremely rare. If you don’t have it, how come you have four hundred and twenty cents a pound.”
If they could get four hundred and twenty cents a pound, how could they still be short of money?
Not only the tea farmers exclaimed, but even the people watching in front of the yamen were so surprised that they were speechless. What does Mr. Xie mean?
Lin Zhifu's face was pale at this time, his body was shaky, and the panic in his heart continued, but he still forced himself to speak calmly: "You, when did you see the account book?"
Xie Yunjin said unhurriedly: "When I was dealing with affairs before, I took a look at the account book by the way, and I even wrote a copy."
When he finished speaking, Lin Zhifu's blood surged up, his eyes darkened and his hair dizzy.
In fact, he gave an order not to let Xie Yunjin have access to the account book, but he still saw the account book.
Lord Lin has only one thought at this time, my life is over.
In front of the government office, Xie Yunjin looked at Lord Lin with a bad expression and said again: "Master Lin, what is going on here? Why is the number registered in the government office's account book different from the price sold by the tea farmers, which means that someone has embezzled from it. If you buy tea and silver money, you not only embezzle the money of the tea farmers, but also embezzle the tax money of the imperial court.”
As soon as Xie Yunjin's words were finished, the tea farmers below began to discuss each other, and finally someone looked at Xie Yunjin and cried, "Sir, you have to decide for the people, we have never received four hundred and twenty cents of tea money, the most we are You get thirty cents, and there are very few who get thirty cents, basically fifteen cents."
The tea farmers cried, and the people outside were discussing: "Who do you say embezzled the tea farmers and the royal court's tax and silver?"
"Who is it, Lin Zhifu, that account book must be made by him."
"Look at his ugly face, it's obvious that he did it."
"I don't know how much money this corrupt official has embezzled."
"Yeah, Mr. Xie didn't come before. He has been letting people suppress our people and keep us from talking. Now that this incident has erupted, the court will definitely take care of him."
No matter what he said, Lin Zhifu finally couldn't hold it any longer, and his eyes darkened.
Xia Zoutou and others rushed over to support him, and cried out in a panic: "Sir, sire, wake up."
Xia Zoutou subconsciously wanted to help Lin Zhifu away, but was stopped by Xie Yunjin.
Xie Yunjin ordered: "Zhao Heng, take a few people to send the adults to the inner hall of the government office, do not let him contact anyone, and protect him, this official must report this matter to the governor immediately. ."
Ningzhou belongs to the southern province, and the governor of the southern province is in charge of administration and wealth. Their situation here should be reported to the governor.
Zhao Heng led the order and walked over, Xia Zhaotou wanted to stop it with an ugly face, but when he saw Xie Yunjin's eyes as cold as an ice sword, he didn't dare to stop it.
Mr. Lin was taken to the house by Zhao Heng and others to take care of him. Xie Yunjin turned to look at the tea farmer in front of the house and said, "Everyone, go back first, this case will be reported to the governor immediately, and the governor will send a message. People come to investigate this case, if you are truly wronged, the Governor will definitely subsidize the money for each family later, you should go back first."
The tea farmers were overjoyed. Originally, they only wanted to get the 20 taels of silver from the person behind them, but they didn't expect that if this matter was broken, the governor would even subsidize them with money. They had hope.
The tea farmers kowtowed to Xie Yunjin one after another: "Thank you sir, thank you sir."
"Sir Xie is the blue sky of my Ningzhou."
On the street in front of the yamen, the people also praised one after another: "Master Xie is indeed the blue sky of my Ningzhou. He specializes in making decisions for the people."
"Yes, he is indeed a good official."
Xie Yunjin ignored others and raised his hand to signal the tea farmers to go back. He turned around and walked to the government office. In the government office, Kong Tuiguan and others rushed over after receiving the news.
As soon as they saw him, they all hurriedly asked, "Mr. Xie, why are you letting someone detain Lord Lin?"
"Yeah, Master Lin is your top. It's disrespectful for you to do this."
Xie Yunjin looked coldly at Kong Tuiguan, Gu Shicheng and others.
"Before there were tea farmers who came to my office to make trouble, this official listened to what the tea farmers said, their tea has always been sold for only fifteen cents a pound, so why is the number filled in my office's account book four hundred and twenty cents? , where did the large sum of money go?"
"This case involves a wide range of issues. I hope that all adults will not be involved. If it is involved, I am afraid that you will not be able to afford it. I will immediately rush to Yangcheng to report to the Governor, and the Governor will decide the case."
After Xie Yunjin finished speaking, the expressions of Kong Tuiguan, Gu Shicheng and others changed greatly. If this matter is reported to the Governor, the Governor will definitely investigate the case.
Then they are going to be unlucky.
Kong Tuiguan, Gu Shicheng and the others quickly looked at Xie Yunjin and said, "Mr. Xie, we will discuss this matter from a long time to a long time. We are all working in a government office. If there is anything we can talk about."
Kong Tuiguan and Gu Shishi wanted to come over and pull people, Xie Yunjin was beside him, and the guards sent by Yan Wangfu came out and stopped in front of Kong Tuiguan and others. Kong Tuiguan and others turned pale. Several people subconsciously retreated.
Xie Yunjin ignored Kong Tuiguan and others, and went in to arrange for Zhao Heng and the three guards sent by King Yan to guard Lord Lin.
"Give Master Lin some drowsiness medicine first. Don't let anyone touch Master Lin. Remember that no matter who you are, you must wait for me to come back."
"Yes, my lord."
Zhao Heng took the order, and Xie Yunjin immediately took Zhou Shaogong, Tong Yi, and the remaining three guards of the Yan Wangfu all the way to Yangcheng.
Xie Yunjin went to Yangcheng to report the case, but on the Ningzhou side, there was an uproar. The tea farmers came to make trouble, and many people saw it. When the tea farmers left, these people went around talking nonsense. For a time, everyone knew about the Ningzhou prefecture. When it comes to embezzling money from tea farmers and taxes, everyone scolds the prefect of Lin as a dog official.
Mrs. Lin Jialin received the report from the servant, and she almost fainted. She originally thought that Xie Yunjing was going to be unlucky today, but it was her own man who was unlucky.
Mrs. Lin wanted to die, but now she still needed a man to save her.
Only now how should she save her man? King Jin is currently in the capital, and he can't save her man at all.
Mrs. Lin was at a loss when the servant girl outside the door came in and reported, "Madam, Master Kong and Master Gu are here."
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin hurriedly asked the two of you to come in.
As soon as Master Kong and Master Gu came in, Madam Lin looked at them and cried, "You guys quickly think of a way to save him?"
