Chapter 370 Worse Than Killing Him

Now, they are in Cui Pu's territory, surrounded by Cui Pu's people.It is to say that every day should not be done, and that the land and the earth are not working, and the only way to go is to let others slaughter it!
No matter how unwilling Wan Tianci is, now he can only accept the reality and sit back honestly.

A group of people waited for nearly two hours, until it was dark outside, their mouths were thirsty and their stomachs were like drums, but no one came to refill them with tea or cakes.Physically exhausted, psychologically, the double pressure of worrying that the account book was about to be discovered and not knowing what Cui Pu would do next made them almost collapse.

It was so easy to hear the two guards at the door shouting in unison: "Prefect!"

Cui Pu is here!

Wan Tianci was overjoyed, stood up hastily, and saw Cui Pu's figure appearing in front of him.

Now, he no longer has the arrogance he had when he first came here.He was exhausted, and now he just wanted to solve this matter quickly, and then eat and drink well and sleep well.

So he immediately went up to greet him: "Prefect Cui, you are here, we have been waiting for you here for three or four hours!"

"Really?" Cui Pu whispered in astonishment, "Oh, think about it carefully, it seems that Xiao Sier told this mansion. It's just that this mansion is busy with the affairs of the government office, so I can't get away for a while. I didn't expect to be busy until now. Really, it's already so late, don't you guys find a room to rest and have a meal before talking?"

They wanted to take a break, but the account book and food matters were like a fire burning in their hearts, making them unable to calm down at all. How could they think about anything else?And there were two door gods guarding the door, so they couldn't move.

Knowing that he said that on purpose, Wan Tianci laughed and said, "If we don't settle the matter first, who of us is in the mood to eat! By the way, I wonder if Governor Cui has read all the account books?"

"It's only a day's work, how can this government have the energy to read all the account books?" Cui Pu laughed, "But—"

He immediately changed the topic again: "After the food was shipped back last night, people in the government roughly weighed it, and it was already as much as [-] shi? I remember that your goal of collecting grain this time is [-] shi. You have only gone to less than [-]% of the towns, and you have already completed more than [-]% of your goal. If you continue like this, I am afraid that you will overfulfill the task this time!"

He really has figured everything out!

Wan Tianci's heart was terrified, and his hands and feet couldn't help shaking.

This person is actually so powerful, he sorted out everything so quickly!He still underestimated him!

In fact, all this is due to Wang Shiqi.These days, he followed Wan Tianci and his group all the way, keeping all their actions in mind.How much food Wan Tian bestowed on them and how much he got from each commoner, he secretly recorded them all, and made a special ledger for himself.So Cui Pu didn't need to go through their account books at all, but just looked at the account book in Wang Shiqi's hand, and everything was clear at a glance!

Of course, Cui Pu would not betray Wang Shiqi.

Hearing Cui Pu say this, Wan Tianci's last bit of luck was strangled invisible.

He lowered his head powerlessly: "Prefect Cui, just speak up, what do you want?"

"Master Wan Liang, what did you say? This government is only doing what this government should do. You are now collecting grain in Yangzhou Prefecture. This government is the magistrate of Yangzhou. Temporary inspection of the grain collection situation is also a matter of this government. .As a result, the government just started today, and you came to the door, and now it should be the government asking you, what do you want?" Cui Pu directly threw the words back to him.

His attitude is very clear - if you want to get out, you can!Tell yourself how to make up for it!As long as the remedy you said satisfies me, I will let you go!
Wan Tianci heaved a sigh of relief, but his chest felt congested.

Relaxed, naturally because of Cui Pu's attitude, it seems that he doesn't intend to make things big, so he shouldn't worry too much.Boredom panic, he is not angry, he is sad!
This time, he managed to get the position of Chief Liang with great difficulty, but he got this opportunity only after giving a lot of gifts to his nanny, currying favor with Li Linfu, and doing a lot of dirty work for him.Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, but who knows, now he gnawed on the hard bone of Cui Pu!

He knew that Cui Pu was difficult to deal with, so he had already shown his favor to him when he first came, and he also offered to share this benefit with him, but it turned out that Cui Pu himself rejected his request!You want to be an upright official, okay, I won't pull you into the water.And he was already restrained enough when collecting grain in Hailing County.But isn't Tianchang County Wu Lixin's territory?Didn't he and Wu Lixin have always been at odds?Now that he is so tyrannical and exacting, he is hitting Wu Lixin in the face, so why is this person here to join in the fun?
But he didn't want to think about it, Tianchang County was the place where Cui Pu started, and it was also the place where he first became famous.He had always had a strange feeling for the place.Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought Wu Lixin to develop the Leisure Villa later.Although he hated Wu Lixin, he also hoped that the development of Tianchang County would get better and better.

What Wan Tianci is doing now is not only slapping Wu Lixin in the face, but also cruelly exploiting the blood and sweat of the people—the blood and sweat of the people in Tianchang County.How can he bear this?

Not to mention that this person is clearly using this to explore his bottom line.As long as he doesn't say a word this time, they will definitely get worse in the next place, and the people of Yangzhou Mansion will not have a good life!

Even if it is for the people of Yangzhou, Cui Pu will definitely not let him do whatever he wants.

The eyes of the two competed for a while, but in the end Wan Tianci was defeated.

"Actually, I collected more at the beginning to prevent too little food collected from the towns later, and I couldn't pay the sage. But looking at the current number, the people in Yangzhou still have a good harvest this year. Next, let me see You don’t need to uphold the previous standards anymore, and just collect according to the amount last year.” Wan Tianci laughed a few times, “As for the food now, let’s put it in Cui Zhifu’s place first, and wait for other places to collect it later. I will return them one by one to the common people. With you watching for me, I can't be more at ease."

At this time, this person is not honest!Cui Pu sneered in his heart.

The food is stored in his place, and if he turns his head and goes out, this person can spread the word that all the extra food has been embezzled by him!

Although he already has an established good impression in the hearts of Yangzhou people, but someone deliberately incited him!Once one person is persuaded, there will be ten or one hundred...

Spreading rumors only needs to use lip service, but dispelling rumors can make people lose their legs!

He will not give this person this chance.

Cui Pu said: "In this case, it is better to keep the account book here. When you go to collect grain again, just rebuild another book. Later, when you have collected all the other places, the house will I will return it to you together with the food and account book.”

As long as the account book is in hand, he can make countless copies.And during this time, he can do many unexpected things surnamed Wan!
Cui Pu understands this, and Wan Tianci certainly understands it.

He gritted his teeth secretly, and finally realized that playing tricks with Cui Pu was useless.In front of this person, you either have to bear it to the end, and of course the result will be the same as death.Or, just be honest and follow his ideas.Otherwise, you must have no good fruit to eat!
The account book is his weakness now, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Forget it, this is still too much trouble for you, Prefect Cui. I think, anyway, there is still time, why don't we move the food and the account book first, and get rid of the overpaid people. Return the grain first, and then go back and collect grain slowly."

He can be regarded as a reaction.

Unfortunately, it's too late.Cui Pu didn't believe him at all.

This person is only forced to give such an answer now.But once he really returned the food and account books to him, who knows if this person will go back on his word, or do other things?

Cui Pu nodded and said: "This idea is also good. It's just that there is so much food, and you only have so few people. How can you move the weak ones? Otherwise, there are many servants with high martial arts skills in the mansion. , let them help you now. Anyway, they are idle when they are idle!"

Didn't they cry to him yesterday about his weakness?Now he's giving it back to them!

Is he planning to supervise them all the way?

Wan Tianci almost gritted his teeth.

As Cui Pu expected, he was not so quick and honest.What he said just now, he just intended to paralyze Cui Pu.As long as he got back the account books and food, and left this ghostly place, he would immediately write a letter to Li Linfu, asking him to send someone to rescue him.

But now, Cui Pu has also blocked this road for him.

For the current plan, he really had to let them manipulate him!
Cui, I remember you!He secretly said in his heart, but he couldn't help but say happily: "That would be the best! I thank Prefect Cui!"

"You're welcome. You come to Yangzhou Mansion to collect grain. The mansion is too busy with official duties to help you more. Now I can only help you out of your troubles." Cui Pu also responded hypocritically.

After saying this, both of them felt disgusted for a while.

Next, they couldn't pretend to be harmonious anymore.

When Cui Pu's goal was reached, he didn't talk to him anymore, he quickly ordered someone to take them to the wing room to rest, and he hurried to Mu Jiaojiao's side.

Mu Jiaojiao knew the details of Cui Pu and Wan Tianci's battle of wits and courage through Mung Dou's live broadcast.Seeing Cui Pu appearing now, she gave him a thumbs up: "Prefect Cui is really good! Ask Wan Liangchang to spit out the food he swallowed, and even return it to the people himself. Killing him will make him feel uncomfortable. But having said that, you have made the people of Yangzhou feel bad for you!"

"This way, I saved a lot of trouble. By the way, I also humiliated him, which seems to be more refreshing than fighting him directly on the spot?" Cui Pu rubbed his chin and said.

"Why, addicted?" Mu Jiaojiao asked.

Cui Pu nodded. "A little."

Why didn't he feel it before?Hmph, it seems that we can try this method more in the future!
