Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 22 The official is not guilty!
"Your Majesty sees His Royal Highness King Yan!"

Zhu Di stared at Guo An with a gloomy face, and asked coldly, "Guo An, are you guilty?"

Guo An was full of grievances, "Back to His Royal Highness King Yan, since I took office as the magistrate of Wanping County, I have asked myself that although I haven't made much achievements, I have been diligent and diligent. I really don't know what crime I have committed?"

"You guys are still not honest until now?"

On the side, Li Wang scolded Guo An angrily, then raised the ledger in his hand, and reported to Zhu Di: "His Royal Highness, when this corrupt official will be arrested, this corrupt official is holding this ledger in his hand, presumably he is planning to use this Reclaim wasteland and do evil things like corruption!"

Zhu Di's expression was even more angry, "The evidence of the crime was obtained by the guards under the king's command. How dare you deny it?"

At this moment, Li Wang had already handed the ledger to Zhu Di. Zhu Di slowly opened it. After reading it, he couldn't believe it. He rubbed his eyes and looked down again.

However, there are still a lot of farm tools such as iron catalpa, iron shovel, etc. written on it, and I can't help but be puzzled.

Seeing no flaws, he handed the account book to the long history Zhu Fu on the side again.

Then, he asked Guo An tentatively, "Are you going to embezzle the farm tools of the people in Wanping County?"

"Your Highness is wronged. These are all the grain chiefs and chiefs of Jiali in Wanping County who sorted out the number of farm tools they lacked for reclaiming wasteland and handed them over to the officials!" Guo An quickly explained.

"Those grain chiefs and village chiefs handed over to you the amount of their own lack of tools?"

No matter how he thought about it, Zhu Di couldn't figure out the reason for it!
However, this time, Zhu Fu had already read the account book, and he also had a thoughtful expression, as if it was exactly what Guo An said.

However, just to be on the safe side, he handed the ledger to Monk Daoyan who was beside him.

And Monk Daoyan didn't refuse, just opened it and looked.

Soon, Monk Daoyan closed the ledger with a strange expression on his face.

Seeing this, Zhu Di understood that the two advisers under him did not see the way of this ledger.

In a fit of anger, he threatened again in a cold voice: "Don't you think that the king really can't find out, and now in the whole Wanping County, tens of thousands of people are complaining and boiling because of the reclamation of wasteland.

Even, there are still a large number of people who are insulting you, the magistrate of Wanping County. How do you explain it? "

Guo An smiled helplessly, "His Royal Highness, the official said that all of this was arranged by the official, do you believe it or not?"

"You arranged it?"

Zhu Di's eyes widened immediately, and he said angrily, "Do you believe this king?"

On the side, Li Wang, Zhu Liang and other Yan Palace guards also sneered, stared at Guo An viciously, and shouted sharply: "Your Highness, this thief officer looks simple and honest, but he didn't expect to be so cunning. Dare to quibble!

Please also ask Your Highness to hand over this thief officer to the general, and the general will wait for others to treat him well, and he will be honest! "

"No!"

Guo An panicked, and hurriedly begged Zhu Di for mercy, "Your Highness, I have delicate skin and tender flesh, and I can't afford any punishment. Please listen to your explanation!"

Zhu Di slowly sat on the throne, and looked at Guo An coldly, "How can you explain it now?"

Guo An quickly said it well: "Your Highness, this matter is like this..."

Following Guo An's narration, Zhu Di, Li Wang, Zhu Liang and others in the hall all had strange expressions.

What the magistrate of Wanping said in front of me seems to be true!

However, Zhu Di, Li Wang and others still couldn't accept it. They didn't believe that in this world, there is such a good magistrate who loves the people like a son?

In order to rule the people, he even united with all the people to abuse him?Acting for those merchants?
However, when he looked up and saw Master Daoyan nodding slightly, Zhu Di hesitated again!
"How do you prove that what you said did not deceive the king?"

"Your Highness, you can casually summon a few old men who scold the most ruthless officials to come, and you will know if you ask!" Guo An said with a wry smile.

Dig a hole and bury yourself, and you will be the No.1 traverser!
It's a shame to throw it more than 1000 years later!

Seeing Guo An's expression that didn't seem to be fake, Zhu Di squinted his eyes slightly, and asked suspiciously, "It's really you who made all the people in Wanping County complain?"

Li Wang and Zhu Liang still had expressions of disbelief, "Your Highness, these thieves are the best at deceiving others, please don't be deceived by him, Your Highness!"

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "You will bring people yourself and go to Wanping County to find a dozen or so old men. I want to ask you personally!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Li Wang and Zhu Liang responded unwillingly.

Then, he gave Guo An a vicious look, and walked out quickly.

However, just after walking out of the gate of King Yan Palace with two teams of guards, they discovered that a group of old men were besieged outside the gate of the palace.

They are still clamoring to meet King Yan!

"Who are you waiting for?"

Li Wang, Zhu Liang and the others were overjoyed. Could it be that these old men came to ask His Royal Highness King Yan to punish him severely when they heard that the thief officer Guo An was arrested!
"Reporting to this general, Caomin is Fangzheng of Jinchengfang under the administration of Wanping County. He is here to ask His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"Caomin is Fangzheng of Mingyufang, and he is here to ask His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"Grassman..."

A group of old men reported, and a few old men came hurriedly in the distance again, their bodies still covered with mud and weeds.

"Lu Fangzheng, how is the situation of the county lord?"

"That's good, how could the county venerable be arrested by His Royal Highness King Yan?"

"Master Ning Liang, you guys haven't gone in yet!"

Hearing this, Ning Daguang quickly looked at Zhu Liang, Li Wang and other hundreds of households who were already dumbfounded.

"Caomin is Ning Daguang, chief grain officer of Ningjia Village in the south of the city, please see His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"So many of you are here to intercede for that bandit official...the magistrate of Wanping County?" Zhu Liang asked in disbelief with a dazed expression on his face, and it took him a while to recover.

"Exactly!"

Ning Daguang and Lu Yan waited for the old man first, and hurriedly replied.

Zhu Liang said with a strange expression, "You wait here for a while, I will report this to His Highness King Yan!"

However, before Zhu Liang entered, a guard walked out from the palace.

"Your Highness has an order to invite all the elders to enter!"

"Thank you, His Royal Highness King Yan, and thank you generals!"

Ning Daguang and Lu Yan waited for the old man to look happy first, then quickly patted the dirt and grass clippings on his body again, then followed Li Wang, Zhu Liang and others, and walked in quickly.

After a while.

Still in the side hall, Zhu Di, Dao Yan and others looked at the kneeling Ning Daguang and Lu Yanxian with strange expressions on the old man first.

The face is unbelievable, more is unbelievable!

"There is nothing false in what you said? If any thief officer dares to threaten you, please tell me bluntly. After I find out, I will definitely uphold justice for you elders!"

"I also ask His Royal Highness Yan Wang to be clear. No one threatened Caomin and others. Guo Xianzun is really a good official. If you wait on the street, and even insult the county zun in the countryside, you are taught by the county zun! "

Ning Daguang hurriedly explained.
