Chapter 442 Each person will be compensated ten times!
"These... adults, you are making things difficult for us! We swear that we have never taken any food from the granary. If we bought it, we would be willing to be struck by thunder!"
One person swore.
"Sir, I am a legitimate businessman. If you go directly to check the account books, others will think that I have committed adultery. Please show your respect!"
Another person said.
"Sir, we know that there is less food in this granary, and it is difficult for you to communicate with each other. Is this okay? We can make some together to share some of the pressure for the adults!"
Someone said.
…
These people were all scared now, and they came late on purpose, which made Ni Yuanlu very dissatisfied, and she had no intention of letting them go!
"Haha! If you are really correct, what's wrong with me checking the account books?"
Ni Yuanlu asked with a sneer.
this……
All these people were at a loss for words, and Qian Duoduo, who was a little tipsy from drinking, spoke up: "Hiccup! Guys, you have to be willing to be a human being, and it's just food. Let's buy it, and we'll pay for it!"
"If I have a lot of money, I will pay double the amount and pay twenty tons, hehe! These adults will not let us suffer, just pay honestly!"
What!
Qian Duoduo actually took the initiative to bear twenty tons!
They remembered that although Qian Duoduo and Chi Zaozao had close contacts, they rarely purchased food from the granary. How could he be willing to bear so much? Is he stupid?
Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice: "Qian Duoduo is a real person. He admits his mistakes when he knows they are wrong. Unlike you, he doesn't correct his mistakes even if he knows they are wrong. Do you have to find out in person for me?"
"This... Master Ni, I know I was wrong, and I will take the initiative to admit it!"
Some people were frightened and quickly admitted their mistake.
Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice: "Since you know that you are wrong, then honestly explain how much grain you secretly bought in the granary?"
"If someone dares to conceal the report, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
"Yes! Master Ni, I didn't buy much. I just bought a thousand catties of grain from the granary. I am willing to pay back the full amount!"
"Sir, I also bought a thousand kilograms of grain, and we will pay it back in a few days. Please give us a chance to survive!"
"Sir, I really know that I am wrong. I will deliver this thousand kilograms of grain to the granary tomorrow. You can just accept it directly!"
…
These people are still playing tricks, saying that they only bought a thousand kilograms of grain, which is one ton. This amount is much more than the money.
Ni Yuanlu raised her eyelids slightly. One thousand kilograms per person, which adds up to more than 20 tons, is not enough to fill the granary. However, if it is ten tons per person, it will be enough!
Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice: "Humph! You have a great idea to pay back everything! Qian Duoduo took the initiative to take responsibility for his mistakes and pay back double the amount. Each of you, even a few, will pay ten times or a hundred times!"
"Yes! If you people dare to lie in front of Lord Shangshu, I will ask you to compensate a hundred times!"
"Everyone is indispensable today. Each person weighs a hundred tons, and if he loses even one kilogram, he will be taken out and beheaded!"
All the officials from the Ministry of Revenue said angrily.
ordinary!
The nobles of the aristocratic families all knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy.
Ni Yuanlu looked at these people kneeling down and begging for mercy. She was very satisfied and said in a deep voice: "That's it! I'll waive it if it's a hundred times. Each person should pay ten times the food!"
ten times!
Ten times one thousand catties, that is ten thousand catties, or ten tons. They can afford the compensation, but with so much food, their family funds will be emptied!
"Sir, ten times the amount of food is too much?"
one person asked.
"Sir, if we pay ten times the amount of food as compensation, none of us will have food at home. But, what will the people in this city eat?"
Another person said.
"That's right! You can't be so harsh on us! If we empty out all the food, it will become a problem for the people in the city to eat food!"
People from noble families said one after another.
Ni Yuanlu sneered: "Haha! There is so much food in the granary, isn't it enough for the people in the city?
Do you think His Highness the Crown Prince wants a lot of food in the granary?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince wants the food to be used in the right place. For example, if all the food is used for the people, he will never reprimand us!"
this……
Doesn't this mean taking their food and giving it to the people for free?
"Guys, please bring out the food honestly. This matter is big or small. If His Highness the Crown Prince comes in person, we probably won't have anything to worry about."
Qian Duoduo said.
well!
These people sighed, nodded, and promised to pay ten times the amount of food.
Ni Yuanlu made a rough calculation. As long as these people get their food, the grain in the granary will not only be restored to 300 tons, but also a lot more.
On the second day, grains were gradually brought into the granary. In less than three days, the grain in the granary was completely full, and there was still a large amount of grain in the shops of the Zhang family, the Li family, and the Wang family.
The main reason is that most of the business of these three companies is grain business, so they have a large reserve, which is enough to supply the people in the city in the short term.
And the matter quickly spread back to the capital.
“Well done!”
When Lin Fan learned what Zhu Cijiong had done and what Ni Yuanlu had done, he couldn't help but applaud.
"Your Highness, this matter is a big deal. It has caused a sensation in the capital. All the noble families in the Ming Dynasty have also been shocked!"
Du Buju, the Minister of Punishment, said in a deep voice.
"Haha! So what if they are all shaken?
This prince wants to shock them!"
Lin Fan said with a sneer.
"Your Highness, the officials in the court are currently discussing. They will hand you a letter at the court tomorrow morning to advise you on how to deal with Ni Yuanlu!"
Du Buju said in a deep voice.
hehe!
After hearing what Du Buju said, Lin Fan couldn't help but sneered. These officials did not dare to take action against his third brother Zhu Cijiong, so they pointed the finger at Ni Yuanlu.
Do they think that if everyone kneels down to remonstrate, they will deal with Ni Yuanlu?
That's a complete idiot's dream!
"Do you think I will deal with Ni Yuanlu?"
Lin Fan asked.
"This...His Royal Highness will naturally not deal with Ni Yuanlu, but how do you want to resolve this matter?
Then Ni Yuanlu has indeed done something that is outrageous and resentful!"
Du Buju said in a deep voice.
"Haha! Why is the sky so angry and so angry?
Why haven’t I heard that some people are resentful of Ni Yuanlu?”
Lin Fan sneered.
"This... Your Highness, those people who are resentful are all members of the gentry class, and their energy is not small. It is better to punish Ni Yuanlu slightly and suppress this matter."
Du Buju suggested.
If this matter gets serious, the person who is under the greatest pressure is the Criminal Department. Therefore, Du Buju is the person who least wants the matter to get serious.
