The Daily Life of the Husband and Wife Selling Dog Food Through Time Traveling

Seeing Shi Tianhua's mysteriousness, Lin Yiying didn't bother to talk to him, so she opened the letter and read it. After scanning a few lines, her brows frowned, and her expression was a bit unhappy. Shi Tianhua and that The subordinate officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

Xinyue looked at the back, Lin Yiying's face was dark and scary, the atmosphere in the study froze in an instant, he read the letter back and forth twice, and then said to the subordinate: "Go, call Wang Caosi Come, I have something to ask him."

The subordinate official wanted to say that it was getting late, but when he saw Lin Yiying's dark face, he immediately swallowed his words back. Seeing Mr. Zhizhou's appearance, let alone that it was getting late, even if Wang Caosi had a broken leg, he would crawl over.

He took the order and Lin Yiying looked at Shi Tianhua and asked, "Who is Jiang Ning?"

Shi Tianhua poured a cup of tea, pushed it to him, and said with a smile: "Uncle drinks tea, it's summer, to calm down."

Lin Yiying glanced at him, then picked up the tea, took a sip, and heard Shi Tianhua say: "Jiang Ning is the shopkeeper of Fuyun Restaurant in Yuezhou City, my best friend."

Lin Yiying snorted softly when he heard this, and said: "A close friend, or a wine and meat friend?" He paused, and then said: "This man has a lot of scheming, it's better for you to keep associating with him less."

After hearing this, Shi Tianhua was noncommittal and didn't care. Seeing his expression, Lin Yiying knew that he didn't listen, and said: "You are now in your twenties, and you can no longer recognize people and things as before. Nonsense."

Shi Tianhua laughed, and said: "Uncle, I know it well, besides, Jiang Ning didn't plot against me, since I was a child, I never missed anyone, don't you believe me?"

Lin Yiying didn't bother to break up with him, she just said: "Do you know what he said in the letter?"

Shi Tianhua said he didn't care, Lin Yiying choked, pressed the letter under the paperweight beside him, and then said: "He exposed to me that Wang Chengzhang, the Yuezhou Water Transport Department, took bribes and released the cargo ship privately during the closure of the river. Involving many wealthy merchants in Yuezhou, including his current employer, the Shen family, it can be seen that this person will use any means to eliminate dissidents."

Shi Tianhua groaned, poured another cup of tea for Lin Yiying, and hurriedly said: "I see, come, come, uncle has tea."

Lin Yiying drank a stomachful of tea, feeling uncomfortable in this room. Hearing this, he gave him an angry look, and said, "Go with you, you will stumble one day with your disobedient temper. Don't blame Uncle for not reminding you."

Shi Tianhua giggled, still showing an unscrupulous look: "Wait until that day, I live like this today, that's enough."

Lin Yiying waved her hand: "Go out, my brain hurts when I look at you, your father wrote a letter a few days ago, asking when you will return to Beijing?"

Shi Tianhua was thinking about Jiang Ning's jars of wine, how could he be willing to go home at this juncture, he just hesitated a few times and didn't give an accurate answer, taking advantage of Lin Yiying's inattention, he lifted his foot and slipped out.

When Wang Caosi and others came over, Lin Yiying was writing something at the desk, and the officials under him came to report, but he didn't raise his eyelids, he just responded and continued to move.

The other two people in the room looked at each other in dismay. After a while, Lin Yiying finished writing. She put down her pen and looked up at Wang Chengzhang, her face darkened. The look in her eyes was cloudy and uncertain. Just wondering, how did this lord get so unhappy in the past few days.

I was thinking for a long time without knowing what to do, and finally heard Lin Yiying say: "Wang Caosi, I am here to ask you, what is the official position of the Water Transportation Department?"

Wang Chengzhang was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and he was called here at night just to ask this question?Don't all the officials know about this?He didn't answer for a long time, and seeing Lin Yiying's complexion worsened, he came back to his senses and hurriedly replied: "Master Zhizhou, the Water Transport Department is a fifth-rank official."

Lin Yiying asked again: "What is the salary?"

Wang Chengzhang's heart tightened, and he had a bad premonition, so he replied respectfully: "One month's money is two thousand and five, and the meter is twenty liters."

Lin Yiying responded briefly, and said slowly: "The money is two thousand and five, and the meter is twenty liters. Together, it is only 30 taels of silver, and 24 shi meters a year. Is what I said right?"

Wang Chengzhang nodded quickly: "Yes, what Master Zhizhou said is true."

Lin Yiying stood up and continued: "Then tell me, with your salary, how many years do you need to work for the court before you can afford a hundred acres of fertile land?"

At the end of his words, his voice was stern and full of power, like a thunderbolt, it exploded in Wang Chengzhang's mind. For a moment, gold stars almost appeared in front of his eyes. His legs were shaking, and Wang Chengzhang fell to his knees with a plop. , Immediately shouted: "My lord, I am wronged. Since I took office for decades, I have been conscientious and diligent. I dare not show favoritism in official affairs. How could it be possible to accept bribes and afford so many fields? There must be someone Frame the subordinates, please be careful."

Lin Yiying just waved his hand, and looked at him sideways: "I just asked, and I didn't say that you set it up. Who will you show this posture? Get up!"

Hearing this, Wang Chengzhang didn't relax, but became even more nervous. He has been an official for so many years, so he naturally knows the temperament of this immediate boss, and he will never target indiscriminately. In today's event, I'm afraid it's hard to be kind, trembling and wanting to get up, but gnashing my teeth in front of the informer, wanting him to know who it is, he has to sleep on his skin and eat his flesh and blood!

Before Wang Chengzhang got up, Lin Yiying suddenly asked again: "In recent months, the canal has been closed for half a year, did you know about this?"

Wang Chengzhang's heart skipped a beat. This is his job. It would be a ghost if he didn't know. The notices were all posted by Water Transport, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "Yes, the lower officials know about this matter."

Lin Yiying responded briefly, and said: "Thank you for remembering this, but I have another one here, I'm afraid you don't know about it."

Wang Chengzhang's voice was a little trembling, and an ominous premonition crept into his heart: "I hope to hear the details, and the next official will listen carefully."

Lin Yiying put her hands behind her back, took a few steps forward, stared at Wang Chengzhang, and said slowly: "A few days ago, in Canglu City, a water transportation officer was escorted to Beijing for trial. , the whole family was exiled for three thousand miles, do you know why?"

Wang Chengzhang drooped his head, covered in cold sweat, he didn't dare to wipe it off, but replied in a low voice, "I don't know, I don't know."

Lin Yiying couldn't hear any emotion clearly in her voice, and continued: "During the closure of the canal, the former water transportation officer privately let the merchant ship enter the river, and drove all the way north. Within two hundred miles, he bumped into an official ship and was arrested. After being stopped, a large amount of private salt was found from the boat, which shocked the government and the public, and the government ordered that all states and counties strictly investigate the matter. If such a situation is found, they will ignore it and take it to Shangjing first."

These words were like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, Wang Chengzhang's hands softened, and he lay down immediately. Before he could reply, Lin Yiying asked sharply: "Wang Caosi, why don't you tell me about the hundred acres of fertile land in Chongyang?" Where did they come from, and the merchant ship bound for Quyang on the night of the [-]th of last month?"

Wang Chengzhang was trembling, he couldn't speak clearly, his whole body was shaking like a leaf falling in the wind, he stumbled and said: "No, no... The lower official didn't do such a thing... Definitely, definitely someone is framing it! I beg my lord... I beg my lord to see clearly..."

Lin Yiying sneered: "Of course I will find out clearly, but before the truth comes out, you might as well go to prison for a few days to clear your mind and come here! Take Wang Caosi away!"

The door opened in response to the sound, and several subordinates walked in, and dragged Wang Chengzhang away without saying a word, and he could be heard shouting unwillingly from a distance: "Master Zhizhou! This official was framed..."

After a while, the voice gradually disappeared into the night. Lin Yiying took out the letter under the paperweight and looked at it carefully. There are receipts for collecting land rent and land rent, and there are ironclad evidence, which makes it impossible to doubt.

He picked up the last piece of deed paper, touched the clear dark red seal on it, paused for a while, then raised his head and said to the servant outside the door: "Call Rong Min over, I have something to say to him."

Early the next morning, Jiang Ning went to the restaurant as usual. First, he looked around for a while, and suddenly heard noises coming from the backyard. After Jiang Ning had set the rules, no one dared to argue in the restaurant. I don’t know what happened today. thing, the guys all ran to the backyard.

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, and followed the sound, the courtyard was noisy, when they saw Jiang Ning coming, everyone immediately shut up, only to hear Bao Yuan's voice scolding: "Dare to steal! See if I won't deal with you!"

Jiang Ning said: "Who do you want to deal with?"

Bao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he realized that all the onlookers had secretly dispersed. Looking over here, he felt a little guilty for a while, but after thinking about it, he regained his confidence and complained: "The shopkeeper , this kid steals, I'll take care of him!"

Jiang Ning looked at Xiaodouding Chang Xiuzhi who was caught by him, frowned slightly, and his voice sank: "What's going on?"

Bao Yuan rudely dragged Chang Xiuzhi over, pushed towards Jiang Ning, and said, "I came early today, and I saw this kid doing something sneaky in the back, and the warehouse door was open, so he must have stolen something." eat."

One of Chang Xiu curled his lips and said, "I didn't steal anything."

Seeing that he still refused to admit it, Bao Yuan immediately got angry and scolded: "Little bastard, you didn't steal anything, what are you doing in hiding?"

Chang Xiuzhi turned his face away and pressed his lips tightly, as if he had made up his mind not to answer this question. Seeing his appearance, Bao Yuan immediately said to Jiang Ning, "Shopkeeper, he must have a guilty conscience! He didn't do it when he first came. If you want to run to the lobby all day long, it can be seen that you are dishonest."

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, and was about to stop him, when suddenly Chang Xiuzhi began to struggle violently, desperately wanting to break free from Bao Yuan's shackles, anger showed on his childish face, the two of them were tugging, and one slipped out of Chang Xiu's arms. Something fell to the ground with a clang.

Chang Xiuzhi's complexion suddenly changed, pale and pale, while Bao Yuan was overjoyed, holding Chang Xiuzhi in one hand, stretched his neck to look at the things on the ground, and when he saw clearly, he froze.
