Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 289 Scared

  Chen Wan and Xiang Yu squatted in prison voluntarily, although they didn't feel that they did something wrong in their hearts, and even if they did it again, they would still do it;

   But they were convinced by Zhao Hanzhang, and legally speaking, they were wrong, so they voluntarily bound themselves to prison.

   After entering the prison, they never thought that they would be able to get out, so they were a little surprised when Zhao Hanzhang suddenly appeared in front of them.

  The two stood up excitedly, "Zhao Xianjun..."

   Zhao Hanzhang asked the guard to open the cell door, walked into the cell, looked at the two of them and sighed: "I'm here to ask the two righteous men to help."

  Chen Wan and Xiang Yu looked at each other and immediately clasped their fists and said, "If the county magistrate has something to do, just tell me."

   Zhao Hanzhang was moved, "You two deserve to be righteous people."

   Zhao Hanzhang didn't seem to mind the fact that they brought people to rebel at all, so he took the two out of the prison directly, and after they had a meal, he sent some soldiers to them and asked them to take people to patrol.

   "Patrol?" Chen Wan was surprised.

"That's right," Zhao Hanzhang said, "I decided to open a warehouse to release grain to help the people, but I'm not familiar with Kayang County. The grain I put out can't be guaranteed to reach every citizen, nor can I guarantee that every person who needs grain relief. The people can get it, so two people who inspect and supervise are needed.”

  Chen Wan's eyes brightened, and she was even more moved. She knelt directly in front of Zhao Hanzhang and said, "The girl can trust me, and I am willing to do my best for the girl."

   Xiang Yu saw her and knelt down hurriedly, "I'm also willing to do my best for the girl."

   Zhao Hanzhang hurriedly helped them up, "Okay, let's work together for the people of Yangyang."

   Zhao Hanzhang immediately asked Zhao Ju to send them two teams of soldiers, each of them leading a team, and now go to supervise.

   "I have ordered people to count the grain in the warehouse, and you will monitor it from the source."

  The grain depot is still counting and screening the grain mixed with sediment, but the grain in the county government warehouse has no quality problems, but there is a discrepancy in the number.

   So the food here can be put out directly.

The county magistrate hesitated several times, and when Chen Wan and Xiang Yu really led people to supervise the warehouse, he finally couldn't help saying: "Zhao Xianjun, you open the warehouse and put food now, and then give it to the governor of the governor's house. What about taxes?"

   He said: "These are all taxes to be paid to the Governor's House. Magistrate Sun is not here now..."

   Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Do you think Magistrate Sun can return to Yangyang County to continue serving as Magistrate?"

   The county magistrate stopped talking.

   Speaking from his heart, he felt it was difficult.

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "Don't worry, you are only the county magistrate. Taxation should be a headache for the next magistrate, so we will leave it alone."

   "The top priority is to appease the people. I don't want them to make trouble again." She said, "To tell the truth, is the loss of the people's riots on top of these taxes?"

   The county magistrate nodded silently.

   "So, if Yangyang County can withstand a riot, it can definitely withstand the consequences of losing these taxes."

   That's not what you said, the county can bear it, but the county government can't bear it.

   Zhao Hanzhang had already made up her mind. When Fu Tinghan handed her the data, she had already made a decision.

  Although she really didn't want to offend Governor He, if the price was to smash the mountain hanging over the backs of the people of Xianyang towards them, then she chose to offend Governor He.

   Inspector He is not worthy of her attacking innocent people. It should be said that there is no one in this world who is worthy of her doing that, including herself.

   She is not that important, nor has the courage to do such a thing against her conscience.

   She has always been decisive, and what has been decided will not be changed.

   The county magistrate only persuaded him, he didn't dare to be too tough, after all, the corpse of the master was just cold.

   Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Send someone to visit the master's house. The grain that was greedy for ink from the grain depot should be returned, and the people are still waiting for relief."

   The county magistrate inquired: "Is it... a home raid?"

   "No, let them return it after their family counts."

   The county magistrate heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly sent someone to the master's house to inform him.

   The master's family was in mourning, and Zhao Hanzhang only allowed the master's family to go to the grain depot to collect the corpses early this morning.

  Because Zhao Hanzhang announced the guilt of the master, no one in the master's family dared to complain, just sad, and now seeing the county magistrate bringing the yamen to come, it is even more sad and frightening.

   The county magistrate went directly to the master's father to speak.

   "Return food? Here, where can we find food and return it?"

   "How did he get it out of the grain depot, then how do I get it back, Uncle Shi, this has already been opened up by Zhao Xianjun," the county magistrate said: "Originally, such a thing should have stolen the family's property..."

   The master boss stopped talking immediately.

   The county magistrate said in a low voice, "If in the past, greed for ink and food was not enough for such a big crime, but look at how many people died this time, and the people rioted because of this, I'm afraid even Luoyang would know about it."

   "Let's not talk about the chief clerk, it's the magistrate Sun, I'm afraid he can't be good..."

   The chief clerk's father had a sad face, and finally said: "I don't have much food, so I have replaced it with money. I also ask the county magistrate to help me and ask if I can pay for it with money?"

"Why are you so confused, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy food if you have money?" The county magistrate said, "Zhao Xianjun said that he wanted food, but that is what he asked for. If you send her money, if she misunderstands, she will not suffer. Or you guys?"

   When the master book's father heard this, he gritted his teeth and then took out money from the family to buy food.

   But now the hardest thing to buy in Xianyang County is food.

   Zhao Hanzhang hasn't had time to control the grain price yet. The grain shop has not opened for the past two days. The owner of the book secretly found someone to buy grain. Because of the panic of the riots in the previous two days, the grain price went straight to the sky.

   Master Boss: …

And Zhao Hanzhang just had time to manage this point, and she ordered: "Let all shops in the county open as usual, and the price difference from the same time in previous years should not exceed 5%. to deal with."

Such regulations are very strict for a market that has always been free, but the county magistrate also did not dare to say no. In troubled times, heavy regulations are used, and the rich are still locked in the grain depot to count their grain. No one dared to challenge Zhao Hanzhang at this time. of patience.

   The county magistrate hesitated for a while after responding, but still asked, "At the grain depot, gentlemen, ask if they can go home?"

   Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and thought, without saying a word.

The county magistrate said with cold sweat on his forehead: "They said that they have counted all the grains, and the grains mixed with sand and stones have also been screened. Master Guan said that the number of grain depots does not match, and the Guan family is willing to help Yang Yang. County to fill some of the gaps."

   Zhao Hanzhang raised the corner of his mouth lightly and asked, "How much does he make up for?"

   Seeing that Zhao Hanzhang was willing to speak up, the county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "He is willing to make up a hundred stone."

   Zhao Hanzhang was speechless.

   The county magistrate swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice, "How much does Mr. Zhao Xian think fit?"
