Chapter 567: Door-to-door questioning

It is true that Zhao Hongrun came to ask the teacher to ask for guilt this time, but when Wang Zan came to greet him outside the gate in person, Zhao Hongrun did not give the latter a face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

However, this made Wang Zan even more uneasy in his heart.

Welcoming Zhao Hongrun into the hall of the North House, Wang Zan did not dare to sit on the main seat, after inviting Zhao Hongrun to the chief of the guests, he sat on the opposite side, and quietly looked at Yan Yong, the county magistrate of Anling County, who was a little overwhelmed behind Zhao Hongrun.

"Yan County Order, you can sit too."

Zhao Hongrun smiled and pointed to the seat below, and said to Yan Yong with a smile, as if he was the owner of this mansion.

"Yes, yes......" Yan Yongcheng nodded again and again in fear, and then sat down under Zhao Hongrun with his head down.

He didn't dare to look up, because Wang Zhan, the head of the Anling Wang clan, was staring at him intently at the moment.

Don't look at Yan Yong as the county magistrate of Anling County, but in fact, he is just a puppet.

In the early years, when he wanted to ask for help from the Anling royal family, he had to stuff silver to see the housekeeper of the mansion, who called him back and forth without respect.

As for the head of the Anling Wang clan in front of him, I'm sorry, Yan Yong is not qualified to see him at all.

And this time Zhao Hongrun came, Wang Zan really went out to greet him in person, which really shocked Yan Yong, and finally understood how powerful His Royal Highness King Su was beside him.

After a while, the subordinates in the house offered fragrant tea, and Zhao Hongrun sometimes took a few sips, sometimes smacking his lips, as if he was quite satisfied with the tea served.

On the other hand, Wang Zan seems a little unnatural.

What is the reason, because Zhao Hongrun has not spoken again since he sat down, which made the hall silent, and an invisible oppressive force enveloped the entire hall, making Wang Zan faintly breathless.

Momentum, this is a very mysterious thing.

It can't be seen or touched, but sometimes it can make people tremble.

It's not some absurd metaphysics, in fact, momentum is confidence, and it is the external embodiment of full self-confidence.

For example, Zhao Hongrun at the moment, regardless of status, power, or life experience, is a cut above Wang Zhan, not to mention that he is pinching the handle of the Anling Wang family.

On the other hand, Wang Zan was worried about what his Wang family had done in the past, so it was no wonder that he would be overwhelmed by Zhao Hongrun's momentum.

Finally, Wang Zan couldn't help it anymore and took the lead in speaking: "The presence of His Royal Highness King Su this time really makes my Wang family shine. …… I don't know if His Royal Highness King Su has found a place to stay, if you don't dislike it, it is better to stay at my Wang family, and let my Wang family do the friendship of the landlord. ā€

"Friendship of the landlords......" Zhao Hongrun chuckled when he heard this, and asked with some heart: "Among them, the landlord won't refer to the lord of Anling, right?" ā€

Wang Zhan's face changed slightly when he heard this.

In all fairness, Wang Zhan's politeness was not wrong, it was just a very common politeness, but Zhao Hongrun deliberately distorted the meaning of the word landlord friendship, and it sounded extremely harsh.

Lord of Anling?

What do you mean? Is Anling your Wang's bag?

Therefore, Wang Zan hurriedly changed his words with a smile: "It's Wang's gaffe, Wang doesn't mean that, Wang means that His Royal Highness King Su has worked hard from afar, I don't know if my Wang family can have the honor to serve His Highness." ā€

"Huh." Zhao Hongrun snorted noncommittally, and then asked slowly, "Is the Wang family master's words from the bottom of his heart?" ā€

"Nature is true." Wang Zan said with an oath.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun shook his head slightly and said, "But this king almost can't even enter the city gate of Anling County!" ā€

Wang Zan chuckled in his heart.

After listening to his youngest son Wang Chen's story, he naturally understood what Zhao Hongrun meant by this.

I saw that his face was horrified, and he said angrily, "What happened? Someone dared to stop His Royal Highness King Su from entering the city? It's the other way around?! ā€

The acting is good......

Zhao Hongrun secretly snorted coldly, and he didn't believe that Wang Chen would not tell his father Wang Zan about this when he entered the city.

Having said that, it's very simple to see if Wang Zan knows.

No, after Zhao Hongrun chuckled twice, he suddenly restrained the smile on his face, and said coldly: "The head of the Wang family is right, it's really the opposite!" …… If you disobey this king, you should be killed! What is the idea of the Wang family? ā€

Wang Zhan opened his mouth, speechless.

Kill whom? Kill his beloved youngest son Wang Chen?

Shocked in his heart, he quickly changed his words and said: "Maybe it's possible, that madman doesn't know His Royal Highness King Su, Wang thinks that a little punishment can be ......"

When he spoke, Zhao Hongrun always looked at him with a playful and ridiculous gaze.

Seeing this gaze, where would Wang Zan not understand?

But he had to bite the bullet and plead with the fanatic who didn't know who he was and who had bumped into His Royal Highness King Su in front of him.

"Hehehehehe......"

Seeing that Wang Zan finished pleading with an embarrassed face, Zhao Hongrun was amused in his heart, only to see him shake his head, then restrained the smile on his face, looked at Wang Zan Zhengse and said: "Wang family master, a mere wall of Anling County can't stop this king...... It seems that this kind of child's behavior, this king ignores it, but there will be a next time, and he will not be spared, do you hear? ā€

"Yes, yes." Wang Zan nodded again and again, and subconsciously said: "Wang will severely punish that rebel ......"

Speaking of this, he realized that he had lost his words, after all, as soon as he said this, didn't it mean that he already knew?

But to his surprise, Zhao Hongrun didn't bother with him.

"This time the king came, and he did two things. First, in the county warehouse of Anling County, the rice in the warehouse was secretly dropped, and the rice with white flowers was replaced with bags stuffed with straw stalks. …… Master Wang, do you know about this? ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Looking at Zhao Hongrun's serious expression, a few beads of sweat gradually oozed from Wang Zhan's head.

You must know that embezzling rice in the county warehouse is a serious crime, and once it is admitted, the culprit will be distributed to the army, and there will be no light offense.

However, it is undeniable that the misappropriation of county cangcang rice by the Wang family and the damage to the public and private interests may also occur in other counties in the Wei State.

And generally this kind of thing, as long as those nobles make up for the misappropriated warehouse rice afterwards, some county orders will only turn a blind eye.

Maybe they will think, no one has anything to lose anyway, what's the problem?

But in fact, is it true that no one has anything to lose?

No!

In fact, it was the commoners who lost, and the nobles passed on the losses to the commoners.

For example, last year, Zhao Hongrun led the army to Sanchuan, although the military food was consumed innumerable, and in the end even caused Wei to use national strength to mobilize grain and grass for the army to conquer Sanchuan, but in fact, Wei is a large grain producer, and it stands to reason that the consumption of those military grains will not make the domestic rice price rise by 30%.

So, why did the price of rice in the private market rise by a full 30% despite the intervention of the household department of the imperial court?

The reason is that some people in China take the opportunity to hoard grain and prepare to make huge profits.

You also hoard, I also hoard, and if there is less food on the market, then the price will naturally rise.

If it weren't for the intervention of the household department, the transfer of rice in the warehouses of counties and counties, and the adjustment and control of the rise in rice prices, how could the price of rice not rise by 30%?

It is also ridiculous to say that Wei obviously had surplus rice grain to sell to Chuanyu, to Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Chu Xuancheng, and to the tribes of Qian and Ling, but in China, the price was steadily increased because of the lack of rice and grain.

However, in fact, there was not a shortage of rice grain in the Wei State, but too many people tried to make huge profits and hoarded a large amount of rice grain, if these ignorant merchants and nobles took out the hoarded grain, the price of rice on the market immediately fell more than three times!

Fortunately, Zhao Hongrun has not learned the truth at this time, otherwise, I am afraid that he will be eager to cut these thousands of knives.

And now the Anling Wang family, they are doing even worse, not only do they hoard food themselves, but they also want to hit the county warehouse in Anling County with crooked ideas, which Zhao Hongrun can't tolerate.

In the face of Zhao Hongrun's questioning, Wang Zan decided to deny it after thinking for a while.

Because once he admits it, he will have a definite handle in the hands of Zhao Hongrun, and looking at the attitude of this Su Wang Fangcai, it is obviously a bad impression of his Wang family, rather than this, it is better to deny it.

So, Wang Zan once again showed a shocked look on his face and said in disbelief: "There is such a thing? …… Who is so bold? ā€

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun secretly laughed a few times.

He felt that Wang Zan might have felt that there was no evidence left for the misappropriation of the county's cangcang rice, but he did not expect that Yan Yong, the county magistrate of Anling County, whom he looked down on, actually kept a booklet that recorded the corruption and perversion of the law by the nobles in the city.

Yes, it's just a booklet, it's just a one-sided statement, and you can't take it all.

But for Zhao Hongrun, as long as there is this thing, he can open the knife on the Wang family.

If Wang Zan was still acquainted, he should hand over his youngest son Wang Chen, and at the same time spend a huge amount of money to buy rice and grain to make up for the deficit in the county warehouse.

As a result, although his youngest son Wang Chen had to be imprisoned, the Wang family was spared.

After all, the Wang family is a public family, and unless the circumstances are bad, whether it is the imperial court or Wei Tianzi, they will open their nets.

However, Wang Zan chose to deny it when Zhao Hongrun deliberately expressed his dissatisfaction with his Wang family, so that the plot of this incident became even worse, from Wang Chen's behavior alone, to Wang's corruption and perversion of the law.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun deliberately said to Yan Yong with a straight face: "What's the matter, Yan County Order, this is inconsistent with what you said to this king!" ā€

Suddenly named by Zhao Hongrun, Yan Yong was startled, raised his head and was about to speak, but saw Wang Zhan's angry eyes.

If in the past, Yan Yong would not dare to go against Wang Zhan, but before coming, Zhao Hongrun had clearly told him: If the deficit of the county warehouse cannot be made up, then the felony of the deficit of the county warehouse must be borne by him Yan Yong.

This is a great sin that will bring harm to the offspring!

Thinking of this, Yan Yong didn't care about anything else, pointed at Wang Zan and said to Zhao Hongrun: "His Royal Highness King Su, the deficit of the county warehouse is exactly what the Wang family did......

"Presumptuous!" Wang Zan was furious when he heard this.

You know, the county magistrate of Anling County is Yan Yong, and the little people he didn't care about at all in the past dare to point at him and complain now?

It's the other way around?!

Seeing the quarrel between Wang Zan and Yan Yong, Zhao Hongrun picked up the teacup, took a sip, and laughed at this dog-eat-dog drama.

Well, this tea is really good...... (To be continued.) )
