Chapter 336 Who is 336
The scribe collected the money, thinking that this was just a normal reflection of the situation.The common people came to ask about the situation, and it was necessary for them to check it out. He was not afraid to go to the county magistrate, he just recommended him to report the situation, and it should be fine.He weighed it over and over again, nodded and agreed...

The scribe led Zhou Chengshu and Zhou Jiachang to meet Liang Xianwei.Lieutenant Liang, a middle-aged man in his 40s, looked mighty.

The clerk explained the purpose of his visit, Lieutenant Liang frowned, with a stern face, looking very unhappy, he called for someone to be arrested, that is, the black-faced yamen servant from yesterday, "Dahei, tell me what's going on?"

The black-faced yamen servant was no longer vicious in front of the county lieutenant. He smiled and showed his yellow teeth: "My lord, there is indeed Zhou Jiarong's name on the list in my subordinate's hand. If you don't believe me, look at it." He said and handed the paper to him. Lieutenant Liang Xian, he was already prepared. "The subordinates also act according to the rules, and there will be absolutely no mistakes."

Lieutenant Liang looked better when he heard that, but he didn't want his subordinates to do something wrong.However, when he took the list in the hand of the black-faced yamen servant and looked at it, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and then he said nonchalantly: "This one does have Zhou Jiarong's name, and Qiao Shuli does not have it in his hand. This matter..."

Lieutenant Liang thought for a while and then asked the black-faced yamen servant, "What about Zhou Jiarong?"

"It's already been sent to Liu Qianhu, and I guess he's already set off for the northeast by now..." the black-faced yamen servant said happily, thinking to himself, he has made a great contribution this time.If you look carefully at the names on this list, you can find that they were added later, and the handwriting is very similar to that of the county lieutenant. This must be because the county lieutenant wanted to punish that kid, and he has helped the county lieutenant a lot.

"Oh..." Lieutenant Liang listened calmly and said: "In this case, Qiao Shuli, please return the hundred taels of silver to them. The two of you are not good at handing over, and each will be fined one month's salary."

"No, my lord, we just want my brother to go home..." Zhou Jiachang said anxiously.

"Shut up! How dare you question my official and cause trouble..." Lieutenant Liang shouted displeased, Zhou Jiachang's feet trembled and he almost knelt in fright.

"Don't be angry, my lord. This uncle of the student just misses my younger brother in his heart, and never dares to question the decision of your lord." Zhou Chengshu is the village head, but he passed the Tongsheng exam, claiming that the student is not wrong.

Sure enough, the county captain softened his attitude when he heard that he was a scholar, "Since you have studied, you should know that the roster that I have reported to the law will never be changed. If you run away, heh, it's not his alone." Capital crime, a large group of people behind may suffer."

"Yes, you are right." Zhou Chengshu quickly echoed, Zhou Jiachang was too frightened to say anything more.

Lieutenant Liang saw that their attitude was okay, and nodded in satisfaction. "Well, that's right. The use of silver as a substitute for service is just a benefit for the people from the imperial court. However, everyone points to the use of silver as a substitute for service and refuses to serve. This should not be done. At that time, who will serve Serving the country, fighting on the battlefield, defending our people? Since your brother is lucky enough to be able to go, you should feel very honored."

Zhou Jiachang listened to his belly talk, and it really didn't hurt his back to stand and talk.

"Now that you understand, let's go down. Qiao Shuli, don't forget to return the money to them. Go out." Lieutenant Liang said casually, drinking tea with his head down, and no longer looked at them.There was no intention of returning the two pieces of paper.

Several people looked at each other and retreated silently.
