Chapter 742 My subordinate is late, please forgive me, Your Highness the Night King!
Shen Yuyu stopped another uncle.
The uncle said plausibly: "We are allowed to pick it up every year, why not this year? What a pity it is to rot in the ground?" After speaking, he picked up a radish and broke it off for Shen Yuyu to see, "Look? This radish is hollow. How can I eat it?" He threw the two-piece radish into the ground and continued to pick another one.
A woman next to me said angrily, "People have said no, why are you meddling in your own business here?"
"Who said we don't want it anymore? We are the owners of this land. Stop stealing and robbing it." A man was furious and came up to argue.
The woman rolled her eyes and pretended she didn't hear anything. She took the sack and got into the looting crowd before disappearing.
"Did anyone send someone to report it to the officials? Won't the officials handle it?" Ji Xun stood and watched for a while, asking the farmers.
"Report to the official? Who dares to report?" Looking at the old man and old woman lying on the ground, the men shook their heads helplessly, "As soon as the people from the yamen came, these people insisted that we beat people, and finally asked us to pay compensation. How can we pay for it?" Dare you report to the official again? "
"Send someone to report again today." Ji Xun said firmly, "If you are ordered to pay compensation, I will be responsible for it."
But guys, you look at me and I look at you, no one dares to believe it.
"Take these one hundred taels for now. If you don't pay enough later, my young master will make up for it later." Lin Yi took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it to the leading man. The man was stunned for a while in disbelief, and then Send someone on horseback to report to the city.
Ji Xun warned from behind, "Ask the governor of Tai'an City to come and deal with it in person. If he doesn't come, you will take this matter to the Night King."
"Okay." After asking the leader for his opinion, the man nodded and rode away.
Not long after, the looters returned one by one with their loads and drove their carriages into the city.
This was not the last batch. Less than half an hour later another wave came and the looting continued.
After the third wave of people left, the carriage of Wu Taiyan, the prefect of Kang'an City, arrived, followed by two rows of officers and soldiers, majestic.
Wu Taishou came closer and got out of the car. He was white, plump and had no beard, his eyebrows were very long and bushy, he smiled with eight big white teeth, and he looked very kind-hearted.
Wu Taishou glanced at Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu, and was slightly surprised by their outstanding appearance. He did not expect that they would be the Night King and the Night Princess.
Ji Xun took Shen Yuyu's hand and moved it aside.
It was not that he had never heard of the name of Wu Taiyan, the prefect of Kang'an. Wang Chang once mentioned it and said that Wu Taiyan had a very good reputation.
Ji Xun wanted to see where his good reputation came from. The vegetables grown by farmers outside the city were robbed every year and no one took care of them. How could he get such a good reputation if he was so indifferent?
Taishou Wu didn't take Ji Xun seriously and walked towards the old man and lady who fell on the ground with his hands behind his back.
Seeing Taishou Wu coming over, the old man and lady who fell to the ground hurriedly complained, "Prefect Wu, Taishou Wu, you are our good official, you have to make the decision for us~~'
He was full of flattery from the beginning, which made Wu Taishou elated and shook his head proudly.
"If you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes~~ I have always advocated putting the people first, and the people's livelihood is paramount, so I will naturally make the decisions for you. What is going on? Tell me in detail. .”
These old men and women burst into tears and told them about being beaten by the men.
The men quickly explained, "The prefect knew clearly and we didn't beat them~~"
Taishou Wu interrupted, "Didn't we hit them? How did they fall to the ground if we didn't hit them? The murder weapon is still in your hands."
The men said helplessly, "Well, they come to the fields to steal our food, and we are here to drive them away."
"How can you use the word 'steal' in the clear sky?" Wu Taishou said and raised his chin towards the people in the field who were blatantly robbing vegetables. "Aren't they harvesting openly? How can they steal?"
These people are indeed upright and aboveboard, more carefree than picking vegetables from their own gardens. They destroy everything while picking, and they really don't look like stealing.
The men's chins were blocked for a moment and they were speechless.
Taishou Wu was smiling and looking kind-hearted!
But he spit in his heart, the house in the first month of the year was full of guests, and these country bumpkins dared to threaten him and bring the matter to His Highness the Night King. Huh, today I have to let them peel off their skin and tell them to shut up. Mouth.
Shen Yuyu couldn't stand it anymore. When he wanted to speak, Ji Xun shook her hand and told her to leave it alone. He wanted to get rid of this cancer that was not worthy of the name.
Seeing that the men had nothing to say, Governor Wu spoke with an official look on his face.
"I am a good and upright official who makes decisions for the people. I will judge as I should and will not favor anyone.'
Then he looked at the men and said: "If they collect your radish and cabbage, let them accompany you for the radish and cabbage money. And since you beat them, then pay for their medical expenses~~ It's fair and just, do you accept it?"
"Submit, obey!" As soon as Wu Taishou finished speaking, the old man and aunt who fell on the ground smiled broadly.
How cheap are radishes and cabbage? A sack can cost more than ten taels at most, while medical treatment can range from a few taels to dozens of taels. They don't lose anything at all.
He was so moved that he burst into tears: "Your Majesty, you are wise. You are really an upright and good official in our Kang'an City. If one day in the future His Highness the Night King comes to Kang'an City, the common people will definitely stop His Highness the Night King's carriage and shout three words to him, 'Wu' The prefect is an extremely good official."
Seeing this, Ji Xun couldn't help but sneer. This is how Wu Taishou earned his "good reputation"! It's so ridiculous!
Taishou Wu was so happy that his eyebrows trembled with excitement.
After laughing, he started to award compensation.
An old man had his leg "broken" and the medical expenses were 100 taels. An old lady had two teeth knocked out and the medical expenses were 20 taels.
After calculation, the villagers compensated the injured old man and old woman a total of 500 taels for medical expenses, while the old man and old woman compensated these rural villagers 100 taels.
After hearing this verdict, Shen Yuyu was furious but laughed. If there is such a rat droppings in Tai'an, how can we deal with it?
The men were also at their wits' end and looked at Ji Xun helplessly, "Five hundred taels~~ Our whole village can't raise this money."
There was a hint of coldness in Taishou Wu's smile: "Can't you make it together? If you can't make it up, you will all be arrested and you will be jailed for ten or eight years to pay for other people's medical expenses.'
After saying that, with a wave of his hand, the official surrounded these farm men, and put the cold official knife on their necks. This group of country bumpkins who didn't know the heights of the world~~ let them go in vertically and come out horizontally to see who would dare to threaten him in the future. !
"Master~~Here, this is what you asked us to report to the official." The leading man turned his eyes to Ji Xun asking for help, "Why don't you lend us four hundred taels first, and we will pay them back little by little in the future~~"
Ji Xun didn't answer the men's words. He glanced at Prefect Wu coldly and ordered Lin Yi.
"Tie Wu Taiyan and take him into the city."
Before Wu Taishou could figure out the situation, Lin Yi ducked and detained him.
"Bold untouchables, you dare to touch the imperial officials, why are you still standing there? Catch these people quickly." After hearing what Wu Taishou said, the officials hurriedly surrounded Lin Yi, Ji Xun and others, but unfortunately they had not yet All those who were near were knocked to the ground by the shadows.
After that, Shen Yuehu and Ji Xun got on the carriage and headed for the city. However, several old men and women lying on the ground saw that the situation was not right and the carriage accelerated towards them. Each one got up and ran more nimbly than the other.
Wu Taishou was still cursing, and the downed officers and soldiers also chased up and surrounded Ji Xun's carriage again. At this time, Wang Chang led a group of soldiers and horses and ran over, went straight to the front of the carriage and knelt down.
"My subordinate is late, please forgive me, His Highness the Night King!"
