Chapter 284 This Empress is Beautiful Lu Ziye (37)
The prefect was middle-aged, with two mustaches and a short, round figure. When he saw who it was, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, not even daring to lift his head.
Shen Chiyou sat on the main seat, looking at the sweat dripping from his forehead, "Raise your head, I have something to ask you."
Hearing this, the man trembled, and his whole face was like a mask of pain.
Shen Chiyou knew that he was a weakling, so he winked at Xiao Qianzi.
Xiaoqianzi had a particularly sharp eye. Seeing his appearance, he quickly scolded him, "Why are you shaking! Seeing Sheng En, you know that this appearance can cure you of disrespect."
Usually, the eunuch would not dare to speak to him like this, but now he dare not not listen, anyone with a discerning eye would know that it was the emperor's favor, the magistrate hurriedly kowtowed his head and shouted repeatedly, "You are so stupid... ..."
The confused brother didn't explain what he was talking about for a long time.
It is impossible that the news of her micro-service visit did not reach Jiangnan. It stands to reason that since these people know that she is here to supervise and check the flood problem in Jiangnan, they should have prepared early, even if they are perfunctory, they must be perfunctory first. But now look at it. Looking at the situation of this person in front of him, it seems that he doesn't know anything about his arrival.
"Tell me what's the matter of being confused?" Shen Chiyou took a sip of the tea in hand and said, "This is clear, and I can return as soon as possible."
I don't know what kind of tea it is, but it has a slightly bitter taste. Shen Chiyou just took a sip and put down the cup.
She didn't have the habit of drinking tea, but she suddenly remembered the tea she drank at Mo Junming's last time. Although she didn't know what kind of tea it was, the taste was quite different from this.
She glanced at someone who was pretending to be a guard standing not far away from her, and heard the prefect kneeling below stammering in a trembling voice:
"I was deceived by lard, and I was driven by profit, so I swallowed the disaster relief food distributed by the imperial court." The prefect's forehead was bruised until the blood was blurred, but the emperor did not speak, nor did he He dared to stop without permission and could only continue: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong..."
Shen Chiyou asked: "Do you know that Zhen will go to Jiangnan this time?"
The magistrate burst into tears and shouted, "If I had known that the emperor would come, I wouldn't have embezzled this disaster food at the risk of death."
It seems that the guess is correct, the news spread, but the magistrate didn't know it, it seems that someone threw out a scapegoat.
"Where is this batch of food now?" The amount of relief food distributed by the imperial court is considerable, and it is not so easy to convert it into silver taels.
After asking, there was a brief silence, and after a while, the magistrate said with a heart ashamed: "This batch of food, this batch of food, no, no..."
"—As soon as this food arrived in my hands, I met a group of robbers..."
Even though it was just a memory, he felt that he could still smell the bloody smell of that massacre at this moment. The warm liquid splashed on his face, making him unable to open his eyes. His feet were so weak that he was surrounded by layers of dead bodies. Watching the men in black transfer food, no one in the entire convoy survived except him.
After listening to him, Shen Chiyou was even more sure that this was the scapegoat who was ran out by others. He specially took advantage of the conclusive evidence when he came to visit Jiangnan. The most important thing is where is this batch of grain now? There is no way to find out where, what kind of robbers, Shen Chiyou doesn't believe that the robbers will not all be silenced, and a magistrate will be left to come back and become a disaster!
