Agriculture Escape: Ultimate Boss Has A Space Pocket! Chapter 385

Zhang Tong's back was covered in sweat, and he bit his head and pretended to be calm: "The villain asked for the permission of Lord Qian before he dared to let his family move Baimian away."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Sir Qian!"

Before Qiantu was just a small chief of the yamen, he was given orders to go to the Syrians to buy food. He did a good job, so he was appointed as the food chief, who was specially responsible for inventorying the food.

With the establishment of Xiaoyao Kingdom, Qiantu's worth is also rising day by day.

After being summoned by Cui Shize, he seemed very calm. After salutes Cui Shize, he took out an account book from his sleeve as if he had made adequate preparations in advance, and said respectfully: "My lord, Baimian'er has been inspected by the lower official, and according to the food security of the Empress The standard, many of these batches do have big flaws, and the subordinate officer couldn't bear to destroy it like this, so he privately made the decision to sell the white noodles to those in need at a low price, but the minister never enriched his own pockets, and every account It's all here!"

"Xiaguan is also confused, thinking that it can reduce some losses for the court and the common people can make more income, so they will do this." He said with a bit of grievance in his words.

Cui Shize took the ledger and read it carefully. Qiantu's ledger did record the whereabouts of every pound of white noodles in detail.

Qian Tu secretly peeked at Cui Shi Ze's face, and felt a little proud. He just sold expired white noodles to the common people at a low price in private for the sake of the court, but he didn't make any profit.

There are three unqualified standards for white noodles, look at the color, smell the smell, and whether there are insects.

If one of the three is not up to the standard for human consumption, it will be processed into fertilizer.

Regardless of whether there is a problem with the white face, Qiantu sold the white face to others without authorization, and waited until after the incident to report it, which has committed a serious crime.

As an official in charge of grain, it is impossible for him to have no basic common sense.

There must be some tricks in it.

Cui Shize's face was gloomy, Qian Tu was flustered, and knelt down to plead for himself: "Sir, the lower officials see that their life is not easy, so they will be soft-hearted for a while and give them white noodles. , I will definitely not agree!"

There are more people who are more difficult than Zhang Tong's family, why the money is given to Zhang Tong and his family, and he also instructs others in private, and can't make it public, making it clear that it is deliberately hooking up for profit.

Cui Shize detained Zhang Tong in the cell, turned his head to the warehouse where the white noodles were stacked, and checked whether the white noodles were really expired.

The bags of white noodles were neatly placed together. Cui Shize randomly selected a few bags and opened them to check them one by one. The white noodles smelled fine and normally without any bugs.

He went to the white face who was judged unqualified by Qian Tu.

When I opened the bag, the white noodles were yellow in color, and there were some small bugs inside, but the taste and smell were normal.

How could this happen to the same batch of white noodles.

Cui Shize asked Sheng Huaixuan again to ask if Yu Suisheng had falsified when purchasing food.

It is impossible for Yu Suisheng to do such a thing, and when purchasing food, he must go through careful inspection.

Not only that, Sheng Huaixuan also found many people to testify that the food Yu Suisheng bought was intact until it was transported to the southern border.

The grain warehouse was specially treated to prevent moisture when it was built. All the grains can be properly stored, and there will be no insects or mildew in the short term.

Then, there is only one possibility left, someone deliberately created the illusion that the white face is broken.

Cui Shize squatted down, picked up a bug and took a closer look, and found something unusual.

The bug in his palm is a long-nosed rice bug, not a face bug with a hard shell.

If it was before, Cui Shize would definitely not be able to distinguish rice worms from face worms. He has been farming in Youjia Village for so long, and he has been doing things with the common people every day.

How can the rice worm crawl into the face worm?

Someone must have done it on purpose.

Cui Shi Ze found a major clue, his eyes lit up, he grabbed a handful of white flour and sniffed it under his nose, there was a smell of soybean flour.

This shows that these expired white noodles are dyed yellow by soybean flour, and insects are also deliberately put in.

Cui Shize immediately asked the soldiers to arrest everyone who was guarding the warehouse and question them carefully.

It is impossible for them not to know that so many white-faced children have been made like this.

Some people are timid, and immediately recruit.

It was Qiantu who ordered them to do this. They ground a bucket of soybean flour, and then asked them to go to Banye City to get a few bags of rice grains with long worms and moldy rice.

They are all small bugs, and no one pays attention if you don't look carefully.

And even if someone noticed the slight difference, they could interpret it as just crawling in from the rice bag.

The evidence is conclusive, the only thing that is unclear is why Qiantu went to great lengths to sell white flour, and only received a small amount of money.

Cui Shize asked Zhang Tong to be brought up, "Qiantu and the others have already recruited them. You deliberately used soy flour and rice bugs to create expired white noodles to cover up people's eyes and ears for profit. Now that you are frank and lenient, you will be given a chance to reduce your sentence."

Zhang Tong's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it, and when he met Cui Shize's solemn and dignified black eyes, the dog was timid and shirked his responsibility pitifully: "Sir, it's none of my business, it's all forcing me to make money. , his official is in a big trend, and he asked me to cooperate with him to make expired flour to sell buns, I have to obey, if I don't listen, he will wear small shoes with me, and I will be helpless!"

"We will get 10% of the money earned from selling the buns, and he will take the rest, please forgive me!"

Cui Shi Ze's eyes sank instantly, so it was!

Qiantu wanted to make a profit, but was afraid of getting burned, so he specially launched Zhang Tong as a shield. Not only did some people make money for him, but if something went wrong, someone could also be a dead ghost~www.mtlnovel.com~ We are frightened all day long, and all the money has come in. We don't want his pockets, but how can we beat him! Lord, please spare the villain this time! "

Only now did he feel that he was afraid that he would be demoted to a low-ranking status, causing his whole family to suffer with him, and the children would never be officials.

The fields that are about to be moved in and that the family is responsible for farming will also be in vain.

Zhang Tong's begging for mercy did not arouse Cui Shi Ze's sympathy.

Until before, he was still covering himself and Qiantu, explaining that he must have actively cooperated with the matter of making money with white face.

Cui Shize ordered Qian Tu to be brought up for interrogation. As expected, the persecution in Zhang Tong's mouth was still his idea of ​​trying to please Qian Tu and taking the initiative to send it to the door.

It's just that he never expected that Baozipu would be targeted by the Empress herself and carefully investigate the matter.

If it were other officials, they might be able to get away with it.
