Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

"Uncle Dashan——"

"Is that Uncle Dashan outside? Come in quickly." I don't know whether the village chief did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he happened to stop the person who was cursing.

Dashan and the others looked at each other, wondering whether to go in or not? They looked at each other, and finally looked at Dashan, who was the most guilty.

Although Dashan was impatient, he was always brave enough to take responsibility. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go in—"

Walking into the main hall, Dashan looked at Chuci who was sitting upright and felt quite uncomfortable: "Mrs. Fan... is here too, Fengchun, why did you ask a few of us rough guys to come in?"

The village chief looked at Chu Ci, and when he nodded, he said to Dashan and the others, "Mrs. Fan wants to open up new land in the village, and asked me to find a few people with good character. You are here, and you meet the requirements. I thought I wouldn't have to make an extra trip. If Madam thinks you are suitable, then it's settled."

Everyone was shocked, especially Dashan. "Don't you blame me?"

Did this person think she was a deity? It would be strange if she could hear him from such a long distance. She might as well pretend to be confused: "What have you done to offend the Fan family?"

"No, no." Dashan subconsciously shook his head to deny it.

Chu Ci chuckled: "The work of clearing wasteland is not easy, are you willing?"

"But can we use the plow that you brought back?" Seeing Chu Ci being so kind, one of them asked bravely.

So, these people came here for the curved plow? Chu Ci's eyes flickered, "Okay, but..."

Before Chu Ci finished speaking, a group of people couldn't help but cheer: "Great!"

Only Dashan, in addition to being surprised, was more embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I...said bad things about you before."

Chu Ci thought, this person is too honest.

Looking at the village chief and the man next to Dashan, who looked as if he wanted to cover Dashan's mouth, Chu Ci couldn't help laughing.

Oh my, the people that other people meet when they travel through time and space in a book are all top-notch, but when she, Chu Ci, travels through time and space in a book, she meets not only top-notch people but also funny people.

"Forget it, Uncle Dashan, right? I forgive you, but remember, this won't happen again. If you continue to insult me ​​without knowing right from wrong, I will remove you from the Fan family's recruitment list."

"Ah... aren't you going to punish me?" Dashan still looked stupid.

The village chief wanted to hold his head down to salute him, but in the end he couldn't help but remind him, "What? Hurry up and thank Madam Fan."

"Thank you, Madam Fan! Thank you, Madam Fan!"

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed suit and thanked: "Thank you, Madam Fan."

Chu Ci nodded in response, but said nothing more, and instead offered to leave. Naturally, the crowd, who were in a state of excitement, would not stop him.

After a long while, everyone calmed down and exclaimed: "We were so happy that we forgot to discuss the wages."

Although the new plow is important, life is more important! What should they do? If they go back in such a muddle, their wives and children will definitely not forgive them.

So is it too late to regret now?

The village chief just watched these fools anxiously, and when he had seen enough, he slowly said, "The day's wages are twenty cents, and meals are not included."

Twenty cents, the coolies at the dock only make twenty cents a day. So Dashan subconsciously shouted, "How is this possible?"

"Mrs. Fan is truly a good person!" Twenty cents a day, Chu Ci only paid the wages that a strong laborer deserved, and he easily got a good person card.

The village chief's mouth twitched for a while after hearing this, and then he continued to explain: "This twenty cents salary is not so easy to get. If you drag your feet and deliberately delay the work, your salary will be deducted."

"Don't worry, we are not lazy people." Unexpectedly, Dashan comforted the village chief.

There was also a person who reacted quickly and approached the village chief slyly: "Village chief, you know so much, have you been assigned a job as a manager?"

The village chief was in a good mood and laughed and scolded: "No wonder everyone calls you a monkey, you are indeed a monkey."

Compared with the joy and peace on the village chief's side, the atmosphere in the Fan family seemed somewhat depressing.

Two days passed, and An Qi turned the county government office upside down, but still found no evidence.

The Fifth Prince couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Are we going in the wrong direction?"

"Nine out of ten," Fan Jingrui nodded. "But apart from the county magistrate, who else would dare to issue a decree without authorization?"

Fan Jingrui brought everything back to normal with one sentence: "Cousin, if that doesn't work, let's use a stupid method and start from the yamen runners on that day."

"In this way, the work of analysis and organization will increase significantly, and you may not be able to handle it alone." An Qi said as he glanced cautiously at the Fifth Prince beside him.

The fifth prince was slightly annoyed. Was he so unreasonable? "I'll help too."

However, the yamen runners came into contact with too many people every day, so An Qi could only record every detail as best he could. Even if the Fifth Prince tried his best to help, it was of no avail.

Naturally, all the members of the Fan family were conscripted again.

After more than ten days of investigation, they finally found the real culprit behind the scenes. It turned out to be the clerk who was always regarded as a good guy by everyone in the county government.

"How is this possible?" The clerk was an official, but in reality he was not even close to the imperial court. The fifth prince could not believe it.

Fan Jingrui had never expected that a small clerk could control several officials in the government office without anyone noticing. "Whether it is true or not, let An Qi investigate tonight and we will know."

The fact is, you cannot judge a person by his appearance. A small clerk not only took advantage of his familiarity with the affairs of the county government to accept bribes, but also relied on the image of a good guy he had always pretended to be to give an addictive drug to the county magistrate, county magistrate, chief clerk, registrar, inspector, postmaster, and the previous county magistrate.

As long as they showed the slightest abnormality, they would be ordered to stop taking their medicine and torture them secretly for fun.

He has taken countless lives and simply treats Yazhou as his independent kingdom.

"Report quickly and present the situation in Yazhou to father as soon as possible." Although the fifth prince had no ambition to ascend the throne, he truly regarded the Great Zhou Dynasty as his own home.

How could the Fifth Prince not be angry when his own things were destroyed?

Chu Ci, however, did not sympathize with him at all, but rather gloated over his misfortune. "Cousin, you said that a small clerk dared to hold his superior hostage, so is it possible for him to change the identities of those people in the Guilty Village?"

Speaking of this, Chu Ci suddenly thought of the Tatars hiding in the Great Zhou.

Could it be that they are lurking in these villages, living openly as people of the Great Zhou?

Just thinking about it, Chu Ci shuddered!

If it is true, the emperor would not be able to sleep even though he is far away in the capital!
