Chapter 1034: store grain
Chapter 1034 Stored Food
Xu Jiang clasped his fists and introduced Jiang Liu, "Liu girl, this person's name is Chang Zai, who used to be a captain in the military service team..."
Before Xu Jiang could finish speaking, Shi Changzai knelt down on his knees and begged for mercy, "Miss Ronghen, little old man did not treason and escape, the villain was wronged, please forgive me—"
Shi Chang was crying together, and the six members of the family, old and young, who were hiding in the house, ran out, knelt down in front of Jiang Liu, and cried out that they were wronged. The two children were terrified and wept into their mother's arms.
When old man Li Zhengshi saw this scene, his face turned blue with fright, and he knelt on the ground tremblingly begging for mercy, "Little old man doesn't know anything, please forgive me, Miss Jiang."
He didn't say a word yet, and these people were so frightened. Jiang Liu looked sad. She knew that the people of Suzhou were afraid of officials, so she turned to look at Xu Jiang and asked him to stabilize the scene.
The sturdy, bearded Xu Jiang shouted, "Shut up, Lao Tzu! This girl is the daughter of Jiang Qinchao, who came to handle the case on an errand sent by the Emperor Qinchao. If the girl asks you anything, you will be old. Honestly recruit! Those who are guilty will never be forgiven lightly, those who are innocent will not be punished, and those who have been wronged, after the girl finds out, she will also return your innocence."
The group of people kneeling on the ground stopped crying, raised their heads in unison, and asked in disbelief, "Master Jun, is this really a girl from the Jiang family?"
Xu Jiang glared at him, "Is there a reason to ask?"
Apart from Jiang Qinchai, the first beautiful man in the week, who else can a girl grow up like this? ! With this face alone, there is really no need to ask.
Old man Shi knelt down and climbed a few steps to Jiangliu's feet. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he kowtowed.
Jiang Qinchai is a living Bodhisattva sent by Long Live to rescue the people of Suzhou. If Jiang Qinchao hadn't cut off the heads of most corrupt officials in Suzhou, how could the relief food have been distributed to the people. If Suzhou was still in charge of corrupt officials, the people in their village would have starved to death many times.
Shi Changzai was also so excited that she burst into tears, "Little old man is wronged, please let Miss Jiang decide for little old man."
Daddy's excellent reputation in Suzhou brought a lot of convenience to Jiang Liu. She asked everyone to get up, and brought Li Zheng and Shi Changzai into the room for questioning. After entering the house, Qin Qing and Qin Bai immediately moved over to a bench. Jiang Liu sat down firmly, put on a trial posture, and then asked Shi Changzai, "What grievance do you have, tell the truth."
"Yes. The little old man is famous for Shi Chang, and his ancestors were all from Shitou Village. Twenty-five years ago, the little old man went out to sell leather. Because the copper he handed over was not enough to buy the road money, the Xiang Army in Suzhou not only confiscated the little old man. They also charged the little old man with theft. They shackled the little old man and sent them to Wensu to open up wasteland. This little old man has done this for twenty-three years..."
Speaking of the sad part, Shi Changzai let out a sad voice, "Because the little old man knows how to farm the land and spares no effort in his work, he has won the appreciation of the military lord of the army, and is accused of being the team leader, leading thirty people to open up the wasteland. Three years A few days ago, Xiao Lao'er's team was transferred to the depths of Wanggangling to open up wasteland. Because Xiao Lao'er hadn't returned home for 20 years, he sneaked back at night to take a look, and then hurried back overnight."
"Who knows... Who knows that when the little old man went back, he saw that three masked men had cut down all the people who were pioneering the wasteland. The little old man was afraid and hid in the mountains for more than a month before escaping. Our team of conscripts An is accused of treason and fleeing."
"That's not what you said when you came back!"
Before Jiang Liu could speak, the old man explained, "Miss Jiang, Shi Changzai said he was out to do business. If the little old man knew that he was a fugitive, he would have been sent to the yamen."
Shi Changzai hurriedly said, "Miss Hui, the little old man was arrested back then, and he was afraid of affecting his family, so he hid his surname and household registration. This time, after escaping from death, how could little old man dare to tell the truth to brother Li Zheng? Don't pursue Brother Li Zheng's fault."
Seeing Jiang Liu nod, Old Man Shi's hanging heart just fell back into his stomach, opening his toothless mouth and smiling flatteringly.
Jiang Liu suppressed his excitement, stared at Shi Changzai's eyes, and asked with a blank face, "Do you know why this girl came here? What did you do to smear me in the mountains four days ago?
Shi Changzai's pupils shrank, and he kowtowed to beg for mercy, "Little old man is guilty, please punish the girl."
The grinning old man Shi was anxious again, "You said you were wronged just now, why are you guilty again now? Girl, what crime did Shi Changzai commit? The little old man really doesn't know at all, please forgive me. "
Ginger stay…
Xu Jiang glared at Old Man Shi, "This is a trial, the girl didn't ask you anything, so please don't interject!"
Old man Shi responded quickly and did not dare to move.
Jiang Liu looked at Shi Changzai, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked sternly, "What? Do you want this girl to ask a second time?"
Jiang Qin sent the head of Jiang Jinzong, the general of the Zuo Wuwei, without even blinking his eyes. Her family's few cheap lives, Jiang girl still wants to take it, just like crushing an ant to death?
The more people who have experienced life and death, the more afraid of death, Shi Changzai was so frightened that he shivered, "Little old man can't bear to watch his family starve to death, only, only, did he dare to go into the mountains to move some military rations, please spare your life..."
Hearing this, Xu Jiang's eyes were about to pop out, Jiang Liu released his fisted hand, and slowly asked, "Moved a little?"
Shi Chang stammered, "Little old man, I went there twice, twice, and stole four, four sacks..."
This time, not only Xu Jiang, but also the eyeballs of the old stone fell off. A sack of grain weighs 100 catties, this fellow stole 400 catties of grain, how dare he say "actually"?
Yao Shou! The old man Lizheng Shi of Stone Village's legs softened, and he knelt down again. It's over, this time is really over, this time he will definitely be punished together...
The little man in Jiang Liu's heart started to turn somersaults, but his face was still calm, "Where are you getting the food?"
Shi Chang replied honestly, "In the cellar."
Jiang Liu looked at Xu Jiang, Xu Jiang immediately went out of the house, took Shi Changzai's son to the cellar, brought up half a bag of heavy military rations, and sent it to Jiang Liu.
The primary color of this fine sack and the cinnabar number on it are indeed the bags that Da Zhou used to transport the rations of the forbidden army. Joy showed from the bottom of his eyes, Jiang Liu continued to interrogate, "The military rations are hidden, how did you find out?"
Shi Chang replied tremblingly, "Miss Hui, three years ago, Xiao Laoer and others were sent to the mountains to open up wasteland. Instead of leveling the mountains to pick up stones, they dug down gravel pits that were as deep as two people. The old man felt that something was wrong at the time, and then... secretly went to see it, and found that someone was moving grain into the pit, and the young old man knew that the pit we dug at that time... was a granary."
After the interrogation of Shi Changzai, Jiang Liu ordered people to take Shi Changzai and Shi Changzai under strict supervision, and then immediately ordered Xu Jiang and Tian Yong, "The two of you return to the city immediately, and ask my father to send troops over immediately and go into the mountains to get food. Remember, don't leak the news, you must use your father's personal guard, and the number should not be less than 1,000."
"Yes." Xu Jiang and Tian Yong knew the key and immediately went back to move troops.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Erye personally rushed over with 1,500 personal guards.
