Chapter 698

Xie Yunjin asked this question in front of everyone. As soon as he opened his mouth, there was a moment of silence on the field, and then the tea farmer said, "My lord, we used to only get fifteen yuan a catty of tea, but anyone who can get thirty yuan is very happy." If it’s missing, how can we get four hundred and twenty Wen a catty.”

If they could get four hundred and twenty Wen a catty, how could they be short of money?

Not only the tea farmers exclaimed, but even the people watching in front of the government office were too surprised to speak. What does Mr. Xie mean by this?

At this time, Zhifu Lin's face turned pale, his body was on the verge of falling, and the panic in his heart spread, but he still forced himself to speak calmly: "You, when did you see the account book?"

Xie Yunjin said calmly, "When I was dealing with business, I took a look at the account books, and I even wrote a copy."

After he finished speaking, Zhifu Lin gushed blood, his eyes turned black and his hair was dizzy.

In fact, he gave an order not to let Xie Yunjin touch the account book, but unexpectedly he still saw the account book.

Master Lin has only one thought at this moment, my life is over.

In front of the government office, Xie Yunjin looked at Master Lin with a bad expression and said again: "Master Lin, what is going on? Why is the amount registered in the account book of the government office different from the price sold by the tea farmers? This shows that someone has embezzled from it. They not only embezzled tea farmers’ money, but also embezzled the court’s tax money.”

As soon as Xie Yunjin's words fell, the tea farmers below began to discuss among themselves, and finally someone looked at Xie Yunjin and cried: "My lord, you have to be the master for the people, we have never received four hundred and twenty yuan of tea money, the most we have is You get 30 Wen, and there are very few people who get 30 Wen, most of them are 15 Wen.”

The tea farmers were crying, and the people outside were discussing: "Who do you say has embezzled the tax money of the tea farmers and the court?"

"Who is it? Prefect Lin, he must have made the account book."

"You can see that his face is ugly. It is obvious that he did it."

"I don't know how much money this corrupt official has corrupted."

"That's right. Before Master Xie didn't come, he kept people suppressing us people and not allowing us to speak. Now that this incident broke out, the imperial court will definitely punish him."

He said everything, but finally Lin Zhifu couldn't hold it anymore, his eyes darkened and he passed out.

Xia Butou and others rushed over to support him, and shouted in panic: "My lord, my lord, wake up."

Xia Butou subconsciously wanted to help Lin Zhifu away, but was stopped by Xie Yunjin.

Xie Yunjin ordered: "Zhao Heng, take a few people and send your lord to the inner hall of the government office, don't let him have contact with anyone, and protect him well. I must report this matter to the chief envoy immediately. .”

Ningzhou belongs to the Southern Province, and the chief envoy of the southern province is in charge of administration and finances. The situation here should be reported to the chief envoy.

Zhao Heng led the order and walked over. Xia Tutou wanted to stop him with an ugly expression, but seeing Xie Yunjin's eyes as cold as ice swords, he didn't dare to stop him.

Mr. Lin was taken into custody by Zhao Heng and others. Xie Yunjin turned around and looked at the tea farmers in front of the government yamen and said, "Everyone go back first. I will report this case to the chief envoy immediately. The chief envoy will send Someone came to investigate this case, if you are really wronged, the chief political envoy will definitely subsidize the money of each family later, you go back first."

The tea farmers were overjoyed. Originally they only wanted to get the twenty taels of silver from the person behind them, but they didn't expect that if this matter was broken, the chief political envoy would subsidize them with silver. They have something to look forward to.

The tea farmers kowtowed to Xie Yunjin one after another: "Thank you sir, thank you sir."

"Master Xie is my blue sky in Ningzhou."

On the street in front of the government office, the people also praised: "Master Xie is indeed the blue sky of our Ningzhou, he is dedicated to making decisions for the people."

"Yes, he is indeed a good officer."

Xie Yunjin ignored the others and raised his hand to signal the tea farmers to go back. He turned and walked towards the government office. In the government office, Kong Tuiguan and others rushed over after receiving the news.

As soon as they saw him, they all rushed to ask: "Master Xie, why are you taking Master Lin into custody?"

"That's right, Mr. Lin is your superior, it's disrespectful for you to do this."

Xie Yunjin looked at Kong Tuiguan, Gu Jingren and others with a cold look.

"A tea farmer came to our government office to make trouble before. I heard what the tea farmer said. Their tea has always been sold for fifteen yuan a catty. Why is the number filled in the account book of my government office 420 yuan?" , Where did the large sum of money go?"

"This case involves a lot, and I hope that you adults will not participate. If you are involved, I am afraid that you will not be able to bear it. I will immediately rush to Yangcheng to report to the chief political envoy, and the chief political envoy will decide the case."

After Xie Yunjin finished speaking, the faces of Kong Tuiguan, Gu Jingjing and others changed drastically. If this matter is reported to the chief political envoy, the chief political envoy will definitely investigate the case.

Wouldn't they be out of luck?

Kong Tuiguan, Gu Jingli and others hurriedly looked at Xie Yunjin and said, "Master Xie, we will discuss this matter at a later stage, and we will discuss it at a later stage. We all work in the same government office, so we can talk about it if we have anything to say."

Kong Tuiguan and Gu Jingcheng wanted to come over to pull people, Xie Yunjin was beside him, and the guards sent by Yan Wangfu came out and blocked Kong Tuiguan and others with horizontal knives. Kong Tuiguan and others turned pale all of a sudden. Several people retreated subconsciously.

Xie Yunjin ignored Kong Tuiguan and others, and went in to arrange for Zhao Heng and the three guards sent by King Yan to guard Master Lin.

"Give Mr. Lin some drowsiness medicine first, and don't let anyone touch Mr. Lin. Remember, no matter who it is, you must wait for me to come back."

"Yes, my lord."

Zhao Heng took the order, and Xie Yunjin immediately took Zhou Shaogong, Tong Yi, and the remaining three Yan Palace guards and headed straight for Yangcheng.

Xie Yunjin went to Yangcheng to report the case, but in Ningzhou, there was an uproar. The tea farmers came to make trouble, and many people saw it. When the tea farmers left, these people went around talking nonsense. Regarding the embezzlement of tea farmers' money and tax money, everyone scolded Lin Zhifu as a dog official.

Mrs. Lin Lin received the report from her servants and almost passed out. Originally, she thought that Xie Yunjin would be unlucky today, but it turned out that the unlucky one was her own man.

Mrs. Lin wanted to die, but right now she still needs to save her man.

But how should she save her man now? King Jin is in the capital right now, so he can't save her man at all.

Mrs. Lin was at her wit's end when a servant woman came in and reported: "Madam, Mr. Kong and Mr. Gu are here."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lin hurriedly asked to invite the two of you in.

As soon as Master Kong and Master Gu came in, Mrs. Lin looked at them and cried, "You guys think of a way to save him?"
