Chapter 1,179 Taking Action by Force

Wang Tong has been an official for many years and has met countless officials, but he has never seen people like Shen An who act out of common sense.

He wanted to rush over, but with a cry, a long knife stood between him and Shen An.

He wanted to push the long knife away, but the soldier holding the knife turned the blade upside down without hesitation, and the blade faced him.

"roll!"

He took a few steps back and roared at the soldiers.

The thieves join the army!

The village soldier looked at him with indifference in his eyes, and an evil aura enveloped him.

"you……"

As a civil servant who had never seen blood, Wang Tong felt chills running down his spine.

"Mr. Lang, there's a lot of food!"

The people inside found food and happily came out to report it.

Shen An stepped on Xu Ran and said, "Find his warehouse, move the food out, and make porridge immediately."

The victims all cheered when they heard this, "Thank you so much, Mr. Shen!"

Shen An turned around, smiled and was about to speak when the victims all laughed and shouted: "Long live the official family!"

Shen An nodded, and the tacit understanding made him feel warm.

Most of these victims are good people and should not be knocked down by this disaster.

And this is not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster!

Thinking of this, Shen An raised his foot and stepped on it.

"Ouch..."

Xu Ran, whose leg was trampled off, howled miserably. Wang Tong pointed at Shen An, "Okay, okay, you wait, you wait."

He mounted his horse and hurried away. The victims shouted: "Get out of here, get out of here quickly."

The people have their own scale in their hearts. By comparing the words and deeds of Shen An and Wang Tong, they will know who is good and who is bad.

The grain was moved out, and then the Xu family's granary was found. The village soldiers who came to report looked shocked, "Lang Jun, there is so much grain, too many to count..."

Shen An turned around with a smile.

The victims were also smiling, a smile of hope.

"We are saved!"

Shen An felt relieved and ordered: "Go and prepare porridge!"

Someone went, but the victims did not follow them to the soup kitchen. Shen An felt strange and said, "Everyone, go quickly."

The victims were silent, and Shen An said with a smile: "Go quickly, the elderly, women and children are given priority. Remember this rule. Food will continue to be shipped to the court when you come back. Everyone feels at ease. Go ahead."

It stands to reason that the victims should have been very happy when they heard that porridge was being cooked, and then went to various soup kitchens to wait.

But the victims did not move.

Everyone was silent, and a middle-aged man came out and said, "Mr. Shen, we are not going."

"Why?"

Shen An was really surprised.

The man pointed in the direction where Wang Tong disappeared just now and said, "We are afraid that they will bully you after we leave."

…

In an instant, Shen An's eyes were filled with tears, and he had to look away.

"Yes, there are many of us, they don't dare to bully you!"

The old people, the women, and even the older children were shouting, and the surrounding merchants couldn't help but change their expressions.

Shen An has always felt that people are just living their lives. They are kind, but they use discretion; they are philistine, but full of humaneness; but generally speaking, they seek advantages and avoid disadvantages...

But at this moment, these victims moved him with just a simple sentence.

It turns out that you remember everything I have done for you and express it in this way.

"Go!"

Shen An tried his best to persuade, but the victims stubbornly stayed where they were.

"All right!"

Shen An smiled and nodded, then led such a large group of people to the next house.

"Shen wants to borrow food, can you?"

Shen An asked with a smile.

The shopkeeper trembled and nodded, "If you have it, County Master Shen can use it as he pleases."

Shen An pointed inside and said, "Check the grain storage."

The shopkeeper immediately knelt down and cried: "Mr. Shen, I was confused for a moment!"

Shen An sneered: "The victims are crying for food, and people are starving to death every day. You can just watch it? Just watch it, but you dare to hoard it and raise prices. What is this?"

He roared angrily: "This is a waste of money for the country! Only a beast can earn such money! Take him down!"

Two rural soldiers stepped forward and controlled the shopkeeper, one on the left and the other on the right.

A group of sergeants trotted over, and the leader saluted and said, "I have seen Duke Shen. The military prince has an order. Let us obey Duke Shen's order!"

Shen An nodded, glanced at the merchants, and ordered: "Seal the shops and warehouses of the major grain merchants in Daming Mansion, and search them one by one. Anyone who hoards them will be taken down!"

This was an unprecedented move.

In the hundred years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, no one had ever attacked the grain merchants of a big city collectively.

Huang Chun, who was not afraid of anything, said: "Lang Jun, is it too much?"

The people also looked at him worriedly, worried that he would be in trouble when he returned to Bianliang.

"What is a businessman?" Shen An said: "They don't understand, so I came to teach them what a businessman is. Businessmen can't make the country rich, they are beasts. I captured these beasts in Daming Mansion today because I wanted to make the world Businessmen know what money can be earned and what money cannot be earned!"

No one has ever clamored against an industry so wildly, and the business industry is huge, who dares to mess with it? But Shen An just came.

"If anyone feels something is wrong, just come to Shen!"

Shen An was walking in the city, looking at the sealed grain stores, and ordered: "Ask people to sit in these places and sell grain according to the market price, but whoever dares to buy and hoard...kill!"

An order at an extraordinary time gave the entire Daming Mansion the smell of blood.

…

Liu Xian was sitting at the top, watching Wang Tong come in, and asked, "Where is Shen An?"

He felt that it was time for Shen An to beg him, so he changed into a new official uniform.

Wang Tong smiled bitterly and said: "Shen An led people to seal off many grain stores in the city..."

"How brave is he?"

Liu Xian has never seen such a bold person, and Shen An swept his face and disgraced him. If he doesn't come back soon, what prestige will he have in the future?

"He's going to get into trouble."

Jiang Weimuran said: "He doesn't understand these people's livelihood, so of course he will get into trouble. Let's just wait and see."

"Too."

The three of them sat down, and the atmosphere gradually became heavier.

"Prefect, Shen An sent people to the grain store to sell at market prices. The two merchants who bought more and hoarded them were killed on the spot."

"What? How dare he kill someone?" Liu Xian covered his forehead and said, "I'm wrong. He is a knight with military merit. Naturally, he is not afraid of killing people. Impeach him! Impeach him!"

The three of them were all writing memorials, and later news came.

"Shen An has captured many big grain merchants."

Boom!

When the brush fell to the ground, Wang Tong leaned over to pick it up, but his body was trembling and he accidentally touched the desk.

The desk tipped over and ink spilled everywhere.

"Why are you panicking?"

When Liu Xian saw him picking up things, he said displeasedly: "Those people know what is good and bad. If they tell them, they will die, but if they don't tell them, they will live."

Wang Tong picked up the brush and suddenly laughed, "Yeah! Why are you panicking? It's okay for them to be sent away. We have already said in advance that even if something happens, we will wait for a few years to get them back." So...he Shen An can't change the world."

Liu Xian nodded, "There won't be any problems with the account books, right?"

"No." Wang Tong said confidently: "It's all done by experienced hands, and both sides can be matched."

Later, Shen An sent someone to check the accounts.

"Let them check."

Liu Xian ordered very calmly: "Tea and rice will be given on time, don't miss it."

Shen An is here.

All the accompanying officials came. After seeing Shen An, they all raised their hands and said, "I wrongly blamed County Duke Shen, and I have offended many people."

They thought Shen An was innocent, but then Shen An used an iron fist to let them know that disaster relief could still be like this, and he also cleaned up those profiteers.

This is really a famous general!

First clean up the profiteers and get the food, then check the accounts.

After entering the wing, an official whispered: "Hey! Think about it, from the first day he entered the city, County Duke Shen gave the Daming Mansion a slap in the face, suppressed their momentum, and then seized the military power. , controlled the overall situation, these methods can be called a famous general."

"More than that, think about it, everyone thought that Mr. Shen's wanton food supply would lead to food shortages. Many people were waiting to see the joke. Who knew that he had already targeted the profiteers, and while they were gloating about their misfortune, he suddenly struck. What is this? The soldiers are so fast! It’s amazing!”

"What now?"

Everyone looked at each other, now comes the most critical moment of the trip.

"If corruption can be found, this case will cause a sensation in the Song Dynasty, and we will become famous all over the world."

"It's hard to check!"

Subsequent progress proved this statement correct.

After checking the account books for three days, I finally came to the conclusion that the food had really been eaten up and the money had really been spent.

Shen An was sitting at the scene, holding the general ledger without even looking at it, and said, "You said you have finished eating, right?"

The official nodded and said with some disappointment: "Mr. Shen, you are flawless!"

The trip failed.

The officials who had worked hard for three days came out dejected.

"But the victims said they didn't eat much and didn't spend much!"

Shen An waved his hand, and a soldier came over and took out a piece of paper.

"You waited for three days, but this person only counted for half a day. According to the amount of porridge given by the victims, someone made a rough calculation. The one hundred thousand gu of food can at least be eaten for a long time..."

Someone asked in surprise: "Mr. Shen, how did you calculate it?"

"Miscellaneous studies!"

Shen An said calmly: "The price of food in the north is high, but in recent years it has dropped a lot because of the Golden Fertilizer. You can usually buy one stone of food for less than 100 thousand guan. How much does it cost for 100,000 guan? There are more than 10,000 disaster victims, one person. How long can they eat if they have ten shi of grain?”

"Even if you use part of the money to buy clothes and heating things, there will still be a lot left over, right?"

Everyone nodded, their spirits gradually lifted.

Shen An said confidently: "It has only been half a month since the snow disaster. How much food can that money buy? One stone per person is enough to feed these victims for a long time, but where is the food? Where has it gone?"

An official said: "Mr. Shen, he said that a house has been built."

Building a house cost a lot of money, but Shen An sneered: "Those simple houses are as simple as dog kennels, how can they be valuable? Someone took a rough look at the account book and saw various expenses, such as soup and medicine fees, medical fees... countless items, as if The victims have been properly resettled, but what are the facts?"

"Are those accounts all fake? Are they too bold?"

No one dared to think so, so after seeing the correct accounts, they habitually thought it was right.

But Shen An told them that these were all fake.

"You only know how to check the accounts, but in the past three days, a certain person went to Daming Mansion to check many places, and dozens of people were killed... Only then did we get the result."

Everyone couldn't help but be awe-inspiring.

"Corruption is a certainty!"

Shen An's tone was also decisive, "Those who took down the government offices to do the accounting will be tortured!"

"Mr. Shen..."

The officials all felt that Shen An was too eager, "What if they refuse?"

"There is no evidence. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net It is only natural that they refuse. There is nothing we can do!"

yes!

This is indeed a problem.

Shen An said calmly: "When Shen killed his enemies, those enemies refused, but in the end they were killed by him. Someone come!"

Huang Chun and others came in outside the door, and they all raised their hands, "Lang Jun!"

With a bang, everyone felt murderous and couldn't help but retreat.

Shen An ordered: "Whoever dares to stop the clerk who keeps the government accounts will be beaten!"

"yes."

Various noises came from outside, and soon there were screams. Then Liu Xian ran in in a panic. As soon as he came in, he pointed at Shen An and asked, "Why did you take someone?"

"Someone suspects that they are making false accounts!"

Shen An answered calmly, and Liu Xian said angrily: "Where is the evidence?"

Shen An said calmly: "No need!"

At this moment, he thought of what happened next...

"No need?" Liu Xian gasped: "I have been an official for many years and have never seen such an unscrupulous person like you. Why don't you tell them to stop quickly? Otherwise I...I...I will impeach you!"

Wang Tong shouted behind him: "They've taken someone, they've taken someone!"

Liu Xian turned around and saw a group of sergeants rushing in, led by a petty officer.

He turned around and shouted with eyes wide open: "Shen An, I want to ruin your reputation!"

Is this a red eye?

Chen An felt calm and said calmly: "From now on, the officials of the Daming Palace are not allowed to leave the city. Tell Yang Hong to keep an eye on them."

"Shen An, you are so presumptuous..."

"Why are you leaving the city?"

"certain……"

Shen An stood there and watched the officials shouting coldly. Gradually, the shouts turned pale, and some people were trembling...
