Yang Tingyu held too much power. Besides, Dong Cheng had violated the laws of the Chen Kingdom, and Dong Cheng couldn't help but feel worried.

Zhu Xiuyuan and other officials in the yamen also secretly worried about Dong Cheng.

"Oh, what's the matter? What are you guilty of?" Yang Tingyu asked in surprise.

Dong Cheng: "My lord, Wan... Wan Qian is right. Before the outbreak of the plague, there were only 100,000 shi of grain in the charity warehouse. In fact, two days after the outbreak of the plague, the 100,000 shi of grain had been exhausted."

"Oh, then how did you find food to feed hundreds of thousands of victims?" Yang Tingyu continued to ask in surprise.

"Sir!" Dong Cheng knelt down directly and said: "Sir, the official is indeed guilty because he opened the official warehouse without authorization!"

According to Chen Guolu, the local official Cang Fei and the court ordered that the door should not be opened. Anyone who opens it without permission will be punished by death!

Zhu Xiuyuan saw this and immediately ran over and knelt behind Dong Cheng, saying loudly: "Master Disposal, the situation was very critical at that time. Hundreds of thousands of victims were crying for food, but the food in the charity warehouse was exhausted. We had to open the official warehouse to get food. Only

In this way, hundreds of thousands of victims were able to survive, sir!"

"Your Excellency, the Governor Fangtang was locked up at that time. Master Dong kept the door open for a long time and could not see the Governor at all. Therefore, Master Dong had no choice but to open the official warehouse without authorization..."

All the officials in the yamen knelt down in front of Yang Tingyu, pleading for Dong Cheng's favor.

In addition, the people who were watching also knelt down and begged for mercy.

Most of these people were victims of the disaster. Dong Cheng risked his life and opened the official warehouse without permission, all because of them!

There were so many people that they knelt down and shouted for mercy for Dong Cheng.

The scene is extremely spectacular!

Yang Tingyu and Poyang King were both slightly moved.

The King of Poyang also said: "Sir, the situation must have been critical at that time, and the matter was urgent. For the sake of the hundreds of thousands of victims in the city, Dong Cheng's move violated Chen Guolu, but from a rational point of view, it was not a sign of courage to do anything."

!”

As the King of Poyang spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Fang Tang and others, and snorted: "It's much better than some people who are greedy for life and afraid of death! My lord, I think Dong Cheng is not guilty. If Dong Cheng is punished in this way,

, the fear has chilled the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people! Sir, please think twice!"

What King Poyang said was a bit harsh.

It chilled the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people... Even Yang Tingyu, as an imperial envoy, had to act cautiously at this time.

Yang Tingyu blinked, looked at Dong Cheng, and said loudly: "Master Dong's move is considered a good deed by countless living people. However, state-owned and state laws..."

As soon as Yang Tingyu said "state-owned and state-owned laws", everyone's hearts suddenly went cold.

But Wan Qian's fighting spirit was instantly high, as if he had won a big victory.

"Although Mr. Dong did this for the sake of hundreds of thousands of people, it did violate Chen Guolu..." Yang Tingyu pondered for a while, "Since you are the first offender, and hundreds of thousands of people are interceding for you, I,

I’ll give you half a year’s salary as punishment! Mr. Dong, do you have any objections?”

Half a year's salary?!

What is the difference between this and no punishment?

"Sir, I have no objections from this official!" Dong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Xiuyuan and other officials were relieved and shouted that you are wise.

And the common people were even more exaggerated. The cries of "Your Majesty are wise" became louder and louder than the waves, which was very spectacular.

But Wan Qian fell from heaven to hell in an instant, and the smile on his face froze instantly... He was only fined half a year's salary...

The Dong family's teahouse is making a fortune every day. Does the Dong family still lack that little salary?!

Wan Qian was immediately heartbroken.

"Master Dong, please get up. Please get up too." Yang Tingyu gave Dong Cheng a virtual support.

Dong Cheng, Zhu Xiuyuan and others took advantage of the situation and stood up.

After Dong Cheng got up, he immediately launched an offensive: "Sir, after I opened the official warehouse, I discovered something unexpected."

After Fangtang heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Sure enough, it's still coming.

Fang Tang knew in his heart that Dong Cheng, as his subordinate, had also been a rival for many years and knew each other's ways of doing things very well.

With Dong Cheng's "insidiousness and cunning", he will definitely not miss this opportunity...

Although Fangtang had long expected that he would reach this point, and he was mentally prepared, it was really uncomfortable.

"What accident?"

"Sir, there is not a single grain of food in that huge official warehouse!" Dong Cheng said firmly.

"What?!" Yang Tingyu was like a powder keg being ignited, "There isn't even a grain of grain in the official warehouse?" He didn't seem to believe Dong Cheng's words.

Because this is too... too lawless!

"Your Excellency, when Xiaguan and others entered the official warehouse with Lord Dong, there was indeed not a grain of food in it!"

Zhu Xiuyuan and other six military officials all testified.

Wan Qian, who was drooping his head, suddenly became energetic and shouted loudly: "Since there is no food in the official warehouse, where does your food come from?"

Hua Chaoshi glared at Wan Qian fiercely, "Why are you here to join in the fun if nothing happens?"

Hua Chaoshi had the idea of ​​hacking Wan Qian to death.

At this time, the palace steward came out again and bowed his hand: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, at that time, several grain shops suddenly appeared in Jiangzhou market, selling grain at a price ten times higher than the market price, so... the old slave used

A sum of ill-gotten wealth bought them all the remaining grain, totaling more than 600,000 shi!"

"That's it!" Yang Tingyu nodded slowly.

Seeing this, Dong Cheng launched an offensive again, preparing to use the ultimate killer weapon: "Your Excellency, the subordinate officials were very confused when they saw that there was no food in the official warehouse, so they ordered people to thoroughly check the relevant account books and records... Finally, the next official

The officer discovered a huge case!"

A huge case?

Yang Tingyu and Poyang King were both interested. They did not expect that there were so many twists and turns hidden in the small Jiangzhou Yamen.

As for Zhu Xiuyuan and a few of Dong Cheng's confidants, they naturally knew what the huge case was, and they couldn't help but look forward to it.

I believe that once this case is revealed, Fang Tang and others will die without a burial place!

Fangtang and the others also felt a sudden chill in their hearts. They had a premonition that something might happen to them this time.

They began to list the mistakes they had made in their minds, and combined with the previous overt and covert fights with Dong Cheng, they were afraid that the thing Dong Cheng was about to reveal was the "examination" matter.

"What's going on?" Yang Tingyu asked.

"Sir, I have found out that Fangtang, Hua Chao Shi, and Wan Qian colluded with the Tea Horse Censor to falsify the tea tax accounts! Over the years, they have embezzled a total of more than 300,000 taels of tea tax money!" Dong

Cheng finally sacrificed this big killing weapon.

"What! Three hundred thousand taels?" Yang Tingyu was extremely shocked and stared at Dong Cheng.
Chapter completed!
