The shameless female county magistrate shocked the government and the public
Chapter 54: Robbing the Prisoner
Being questioned for no reason, Cheng An vented his anger by swinging the whip at the poor white horse!
But when they arrived at the gate of Xiguanying, Yu Jiuer was no longer in a hurry.
There is a long flight of stairs from the main gate to the reception room. Ever since the gatekeepers knew the relationship between General Cheng, Yu Jiuer and Cheng An, they never need to inform each other when they go up. They just go up the stairs directly as if they were entering their own home.
But this time, Yu Jiuer stretched her head out of the gate and looked up, but did not go up immediately.
She asked the gatekeeper: "Is Mr. Rong busy now?"
"So you are here to see Mr. Rong, sir? I'll go and report it right away!" The gatekeeper suddenly realized.
Just as he was about to raise his foot, Yu Jiuer stopped him: "No need! No need! I'm not looking for him, I'm looking for General Cheng, and I'm just saying hello! Where is Mr. Rong now?"
Gatekeeper: Are you just saying hello?
But he didn't dare to question it, and replied respectfully: "He is inspecting the enemy situation in the bunker!"
When Yu Jiuer heard this, she was delighted: "He is really diligent! No need to inform him, I will go straight up to find Brother Cheng!"
At this time, Cheng Ming was supervising the prisoners to build the city wall. Yu Jiuer couldn't wait, so she didn't wait for him in the hall drinking tea as usual. Instead, she asked the soldier to take her directly to the Great Wall to find someone.
"Wushuang, why are you here? Is there something urgent?" Cheng Ming was a little surprised to see Yu Jiuer coming to this gloomy and dirty prison for prisoners.
"Brother Cheng, let's go up to that bunker. I have something important to tell you!"
After sending the attendants away, Yu Jiuer went straight to the point and explained her purpose to Cheng Ming.
Cheng Ming was stunned for a long time before he found his voice again: "You are getting bolder and bolder. You even care about the prisoners in Xiguan Camp?"
Yu Jiuer said seriously: "You have the final say in Xiguanying now, and who are you? You are my brother! If you don't help me, who will you help?"
"No, this is not my Xiguan Camp, this is the Xiguan Camp of the Great Dong Dynasty. My dear aunt! Do you think your elder brother is a landlord and can just give you a few slaves casually?"
Yu Jiuer sighed silently in her heart. She knew that her adopted brother was a loyal and honest man. He would never take advantage of the country. She had no choice but to patiently explain to him:
"Look at the prisoners below. When you shout, they move. It takes them half an hour to move a stone. Their efficiency is not as fast as an old man in Yinshan. They are working completely under the oppression of your whips. What can they accomplish?"
Cheng Ming shrugged: "The court didn't expect them to build a hundred-meter Great Wall a day! As long as they can complete the task assigned by the court within a year, it will be fine! After all, they are prisoners, and the court doesn't pay them, even their food is deducted. Who would work so hard?
If we don't use the whip, the mission cannot be completed. Our Xiguan Camp is too difficult! Even in this situation, you still come to ask for money, it's too much! If all of my brother's money is given to you, it's fine, but this is a prisoner of the Great Dong Dynasty, we can't touch him!"
Yu Jiuer said confidently: "Brother, I didn't intend to take them for myself, I just borrowed them."
"Return it?"
"return!"
Cheng Ming thought about it and shook his head.
Yu Jiuer said what she had thought of: "I have a way to not delay the construction of the Great Wall, and also let Xiguan Camp save food and fodder for your soldiers. Are you interested?"
This made Cheng Ming interested: "Tell me about it!"
He had seen what this girl was capable of.
"Lend me the prisoners from Xiguanying and let them work for me. I will provide them with money and food. With rewards, they will have hope in life and will be willing to listen to my orders and complete the task of building the Great Wall on time and in full!
Of course, apart from those who have committed the most heinous crimes, I would not trust them to be placed among the common people. I only want those innocent prisoners who have been implicated and banished to Yinshan Mountain."
"Really?" Cheng Ming's eyes lit up instantly.
"It's absolutely true!" Yu Jiuer said proudly, "See! How can I beg for money? I'm clearly here to deliver a gift to Xiguan Camp."
"In that case, I will make the decision boldly..." Before Cheng Ming could make a decision, Mr. Rong's panting voice rang out from the steps below the bunker:
"Cheng, Cheng Ming, I heard that Magistrate Yu is here again, why didn't you notify me? It would be so bad to neglect him! Phew!"
When he stepped onto the last step of the bunker, Yu Jiuer really wanted to kick him down.
It was almost there, just almost there, and Brother Cheng decided to agree.
It’s all because of this troublemaker who ruins the mood!
Cheng Ming said honestly: "She just wants to borrow some prisoners to help her with work, she doesn't care about those empty formalities!"
"What?" Mr. Rong almost swallowed his breath and stared at Yu Jiuer, "You, why don't you even let the prisoners go?"
"Mr. Rong, don't be anxious. Listen to me first." General Cheng hurriedly helped Yu Jiuer explain, "Wushuang came to our Xiguan Camp to give us a gift bag, not to ask for anything. I have agreed to it!"
"She doesn't want things, she wants people!" Mr. Rong blew his beard and glared, took a deep breath, and said to Cheng Ming, "There are some problems with the bunker over there, you go and take a look, I'll take care of this!"
As he said that, he reached out and pulled Cheng Ming up from the chair and pushed him downstairs.
Cheng Ming knew that the military advisor wanted to send him away to deal with Yu Jiuer, so he turned back every few steps and said, "Mr. Rong, that's my sworn brother. Don't bully her!"
Mr. Rong spat out a mouthful of blood: "Who else can bully her?"
After saying that, he glared at Cheng Ming fiercely: You spendthrift!
After Cheng Ming left, Yu Jiuer encouraged herself and used her eloquence to persuade the military advisor with both emotion and reason, and promised again and again: "If they delay the progress of building the Great Wall, I will take full responsibility and let all the people in Yinshan come to help you build it. How do you think?"
Yu Jiuer knew that Mr. Rong was not so easy to fool, but she couldn't expect him to just ignore all the words she had said before.
What's more, he said indignantly: "You want to take them away just to save food for the prisoners in Xiguan Camp? That's wishful thinking!"
The little volcano in Yu Jiuer's heart could no longer be suppressed.
She had talked so much that her throat was burning, but he was still stubborn?
She really wanted to slap this stubborn old guy to death!
After enduring for a while, Yu Jiuer continued to work hard and said earnestly: "Mr. Rong, the prisoner who was implicated and came here innocently must have at least 10,000 yuan, right? I can do this and guarantee that it will not delay your construction schedule. It is already very rare. Please understand!"
Mr. Rong still refused to give in!
As a last resort, Yu Jiuer hardened her heart and said with a painful heart: "I can add a little more, and pay Xiguanying a rent of 1,000 taels of silver per month, how about that?"
Mr. Rong's eyes were as dull as a goose, and he seemed unmoved.
Yu Jiuer was so angry that she put her hands on her hips. The good image she had maintained collapsed in an instant. She stood up and kicked over the chair she was sitting on.
"Since it's so difficult, forget it. I'll find another way! I'm afraid I won't need so much money to recruit workers in Liangzhou Prefecture. If it weren't for Brother Cheng, who would be interested in those annoying prisoners?"
In fact, the monthly payment of one thousand taels of silver, on average to each prisoner, is only about one hundred coins per month, which is enough for food. It is really a great deal!
However, this is a very profitable business for Xiguanying, and it has no losses. I wonder what this "troublemaker" is still hesitating about?
Yu Jiuer was about to go downstairs after she had finished her temper, but Mr. Rong suddenly jumped up and said, "Wait, you young people just can't keep your temper. Didn't I just calculate in my mind how many dan of rice I could buy with one thousand taels? Why are you so angry? We need to sign a document!"
These words instantly put out Yu Jiuer's anger, and she felt proud in her heart: Haha, I got you, right?
Fifteen days later, she had ten thousand prisoners participating in her industrial production!
