fake prince

Chapter 1245
All the officials persecuted, for a while, the atmosphere was as quiet as a needle.

"Isn't that simple?" Zhang Dai was not afraid at all, and said coldly: "The rice can be stored for a year at most."

"It can be stored for up to six years if it is replaced by rice and wheat without husks."

"According to the imperial court's law, the warehouse grain is only three years old, and one-third of the old grain stock is sold every year, and new grain is collected, so the rotation is like this!"

Food cannot be stored for a long time. The so-called storage of food for decades is simply a joke.

Speaking of this, many officials still seemed to understand half understood. Xu Zhiming, who was knocked off his black hat and tore his official robe, heard this, his head "buzzed", and his face suddenly turned pale.

It's broken, I'm also an old man, why is it broken here?

Just in a daze and panic, I heard Zhang Dai's cold and clear voice.

"Therefore, according to the system, there are 4 shi in the granary for three-year grain, 4 shi for two-year grain, and 4 shi for this year's grain storage."

"And it is clearly recorded in the account that the disaster relief transported is old grain, so there should be 1 shi for three-year grain and 4 shi for two-year grain, but I checked carefully and even chewed it. There is no three-year grain, and even two-year grain is only [-] shi, and the rest is all new grain..."

"In other words, at least 5 shi are short."

Zhang Dai raised his eyes to look at the people around him, his voice became colder and more disgusted: "And the food that was collected temporarily to deceive me, the imperial envoy, and the emperor, shouldn't he be killed?"

Do you really think you are being fooled?

Zhang Dai tasted the rice, even chewed the rice and wheat with the husks, and none of the bags were old rice, old rice, or old wheat. The rice is too old, which is not good, but the quality of the rice is too good, too new, is it normal?

Do you really think you can't figure out the truth here?
As he said that, Zhang Dai waved his hand again: "Please ask the king to order the flag card!"

"Yes!"

Suddenly there was a burst of terror, and the faces of all the officials were ashen and dripping with cold sweat. Seeing the imperial guards come in, holding a blue command flag to confess to the case, everyone had to kneel down and salute.

Zhang Daisu bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, got up and ordered: "Drag out, there is no execution ground here, beat me to death with a stick!"

"Yes!"

This time, Baihu didn't hesitate any longer and directly dragged him down.

"My lords, save me, save me..." Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Zhiming shouted quickly, but after shouting twice, he became vague, it turned out that one of them had stuffed a piece of cloth.

It didn't drag too far, just on the open space not far away, pressed on the ground, raised the stick directly, and smashed it towards the person who was knocked down.

One stroke, two strokes, three strokes... When the stick was hit, Xu Zhiming howled loudly, begging for mercy. Because of the stuffed cloth, it was very vague, and everyone was horrified.

Since it was intended to be beaten to death, the strike was ruthless and heavy. There was a muffled sound of "Pu Pu", and Xu Zhiming started screaming. After less than ten blows, the sound became too weak to be heard, and there were several more blows. , only heard the last groan, and there was no sound.

However, the rod killing did not stop. It has happened before that people were knocked out and then stopped, only to be carried home and come back to life.

Now the rule of the court is that even if you have been killed, you must be at least fifty.

Seeing this scene, all the officials were dead silent.

Although there were so many people at the scene in the afternoon, apart from the muffled sound of beating people, even the sound of breathing was very slight. Everyone subconsciously held their breath and did not dare to pant.

Zhang Dai didn't look that much at all, as if looking at it too much would dirty his eyes.

His gaze swept to the other food officials, and the remaining food officials were all trembling with fright. When Zhang Dai looked over, he heard a thud, and several people's legs went limp, and they collapsed on the ground.

Zhang Dai had a cold face, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he ordered coldly: "Take off their official uniforms!"

"Yes!"

The armored soldiers responded, and dozens of people swarmed up, knocked off the black hats of these food officials, tore their official uniforms, and made them kneel there obediently.

Now, not to mention these food officials, even the county officials who accompanied Zhang Dai, all of them turned pale.

Especially afraid of not dying, the muffled sound of hitting the flesh was still repeated, even though Xu Zhiming's voice could no longer be heard.

People, I can't be afraid.

This was really beaten to death.

All these officials were pale.

The same is true for the people standing around Xu Zhifu, but those who can stand close to Xu Zhifu are all officials of the fifth and sixth ranks. Seeing that Zhang Dai didn't notice, an official approached Xu Zhifu and asked in a low voice: "Master Xu, What should I do now?"

This person is a general judge, six grades, in charge of grain transportation, farmland, water conservancy, etc., to a large extent related to the granary, so he has to care about it.

The judge asked, but did not hear an answer.

Xu Zhifu remained silent, the corners of his mouth were pulled slightly, matching the indifference on his face, he showed a sly smile.

Check it out, it will shake the world!
Xu Zhifu sneered, seeing him alive, he couldn't bear to see him die, because a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, you kill him in a place where you can't see it elsewhere, everyone can accept it.

It's refreshing for Zhang Dai to beat his colleagues to death in public like this, but the officials are really full of evil.

This kind of development is exactly what I want!

Even if Zhang Dai himself doesn't want to do this, he must guide him to do so.

Now that Zhang Dai is so blunt, it is just as Xu Zhifu wanted, what is the death of one or two food officials?Even if all the food officials here died here, at the hands of Zhang Dai, he didn't care. It can even be said that he was happier in his heart!
The more trouble Zhang Dai makes, the happier he is!

Xu Zhifu looked at the interrogation sentence meaningfully, this Xu Zhiming, but this person's son-in-law, it is best to jump out.

"Forty, 41, 42..."

The man was dead long ago, and after typing one note, the judge did not get an answer. Hearing the voice, thinking of his daughter, his heart was muffled, and he quickly glanced at Zhang Dai, gnashing his teeth.

"There was indeed a small mistake in filling the granary back then. To save trouble, spring grain was used."

"Let this killer catch the handle."

"But anyway, it's just this one warehouse, and the investigation can't find out anything serious!"

"As soon as we go out, spread the news that other warehouses will be replaced with old grain immediately. Between prefectures and counties, it may be difficult for large households to borrow some new grain, and the old grain is not enough?"

At that time, they will continue to check the warehouse, but nothing can be found. The local officials have a way to deal with the inspection by the imperial envoys!
At that time, there will be a big commotion, but it will not be found out. Then, it will naturally be different.

"Hmph, imperial envoy?"

"Can you still be an imperial envoy for the rest of your life?"

"I heard that Zhang Dai's eldest son broke his leg, and he will never be able to achieve fame in his life. This is too gentle. If you ask me, he should be introduced into the officialdom and lead him to commit the crime of beheading and exterminating his family."

"Father is an upright official and son is a giant beetle, that's my method."

Tong San was thinking about it, with a sly smile in his mouth, his pupils were bloodshot, Zhang Dai glanced at him, and saw that the officials were either dumbfounded or sneered, knowing that they had provoked their anger, but they were not afraid, and they also smiled coldly , suddenly said: "Maybe some people think that I only check this warehouse in this way, and when I go out, I won't be able to check."

"It's ridiculous, I was a magistrate and magistrate!" Zhang Dai snorted and sneered, blushing suddenly, and roared angrily: "I tell you clearly, I have used imperial envoys to defend, transferred seven thousand troops, and sent seven Dacang, all sealed off, from now on, not even a catty of grain can be left or entered!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the officials changed drastically, and Xu Zhifu couldn't help but "face livid", roaring: "The seven warehouses are the source of food and clothing for the 500 million soldiers and civilians in Zhili."

"The seal of Qidacang is to direct the imperial decree. Even if you are an imperial envoy, you don't have the right to do so!"
