Qing Palace: Biography of Concubine Shu

Chapter 275
Near noon, the villagers stood all morning. Erlu led people to search a lot of disaster relief items from the homes of the village chiefs and elders, which was ten times more than the distribution of each family.

The villagers became angry when they saw the things carried out by the guards, and their voices of denouncing the village chief and elders became louder and louder.

The accompanying censor appeared in the crowd, and the village head and elders gave them a lot of things, but they turned a blind eye to these things.

Now, the villagers directly searched out what they had hidden, and they didn't dare to come forward to intercede.

As there were more and more things, the face of the field of vision became more and more gloomy, and I became more annoyed in my heart. These people didn't take the villagers seriously at all.

"Who will supervise!" Yinzhen asked coldly.

Every day, the censors will send a person to supervise the distribution of the ratio. These things are obviously not discussed in a day, and should be there every day.

"The slaves have made arrangements, and they are carefully inspected every day. These things should be stolen by the women after the slaves left!" Yan Yushi was the person in charge of the censors, and he quickly disassociated himself from it.

The village head and elders glared angrily at the women who wanted to refute. The censors had mentioned that if the fourth master found out, they would definitely not care about it, and they would not even say a word.

"Really?" Yinzhen looked at them coldly.

The censors bowed their heads and knelt on the ground one by one, not daring to meet Yinzhen's cold eyes, fearing that Yinzhen would see something wrong with them.

"Master, all the calculations have been made. The things that the village head and elders coveted accounted for one-tenth of the relief things!" Erlu looked at the account book and said directly.

After the words fell, the villagers became quiet. It turned out that the people they elected had been seeking welfare for the Xiao family, and they didn't take them seriously. So, what about the tax every time?Did they benefit from it too?
At this time, Yinzhen felt that the matter was a bit tricky. If he was investigated, he would also be guilty of lax supervision.

Tu Lichen stood aside, waiting for Yinzhen's order. Kangxi would send the fourth master over, which was also a test for him.

"Fourth Master, there are rules in Xiaomin's village, I hope you can hand them over to the villagers to punish them!" The scholar noticed a flash of embarrassment in Yinzhen's eyes, and he hurriedly said.

Yinzhen half-closed his eyes, the scholar in front of him is very good at observing words and expressions, so this person is preparing for an olive branch from God.

"Today, fourth master, you will be a witness. We are going to open the ancestral hall to punish people!" The villagers echoed the scholar's words.

Yin Zhen looked at the eyes of the villagers and had no choice but to compromise.

The censors all breathed a sigh of relief, if Yinzhen pursued it, each of them would be able to escape.

"Forget it, I'm here to listen, you follow the rules of the village." Yinzhen waved his hand and made all the guards stand beside him.

After the words were finished, the villagers stood up one after another, and several older men led the men to walk towards the men and women. Yinzhen glanced at Erlu, and Erlu handed over all the lists he had found.

The first few of Yinzhen had a solid mind, and these people should have been prepared to be greedy from the very beginning.

Among the evidence found, there are actually his sub-examinations, some rouge rice and the like.

Shu Yun doesn't really like to eat these, and rouge rice is usually only cooked with porridge, so the amount of a bowl will be reduced every day, and Su Zhu didn't notice it.

"Your servant is at fault!" Su Zhu hurriedly knelt on the ground, these divisions were all brought by her, now, apart from faults, Su Zhu will be punished.

Shu Yun leaned towards Yinzhen's side, and looked at the missing food, which Yinzhen and she didn't like to eat.

"Remember this time, no matter whether you use Tao or not, there must be no less rules, you know?" Shu Yun glanced at Su Zhu, and scolded a few words before Yinzhen gave the order.

Su Zhu shivered for a while, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank her.

Yinzhen shook his head helplessly. It is possible that Shu Yun likes to use them and will protect the servants around him.

"According to what your master said, don't make an example. Once again, you will go and receive the punishment yourself!" Yinzhen warned.

Shu Yun felt relieved, Su Zhu narrowly escaped death.

If it was in the backyard, Fujin would definitely ask the people from the Criminal Trial Division to make plain bamboo ten boards.

The village women were still standing aside watching, Suzhu's apology surprised them, but it was just a little thing lost, Suzhu's frame seemed to be punished by death.

"Yes, servant girl, please remember, thank you, master, for your kindness!" Su Zhu heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, and even Yinzhen made a promise. After returning, Fujin could not find an excuse to talk about the master.

Looking at Su Zhu's appearance, Yinzhen understood that he was worried that Shu Yun would be troubled by Fujin, and such a servant is loyal.

There was the sound of drums in the distance, Shu Yun raised his head and stared into the distance, one by one the ranks were invited out, and a big drum was tied with a red string around the scholar's waist, and he would beat it every time he took a walk.

"The ancestral hall is open!" Among the crowd, the oldest old man got up and bowed to salute the ranking.

Shu Yun looked at the scene in front of him, he had never seen the opening of an ancestral hall.

The female relatives all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the men. Before, the cries of the village head and elders' women and children disappeared without a trace.

"Today, the ancestral hall is opened for the corruption of the 23rd village chief and the elders. According to family rules, those who commit crimes will resign from all errands." The old man shouted loudly, and everyone present could hear his words.

Yinzhen sat aside, listening to the old man's words, a little stunned.There are many strict rules in this village, and the village head and elders will not always be domineering.

"Yes!" Everyone kowtowed in response.

"Liu Wang and the other seven are selfish and endanger the family's heirs. According to the family rules, Shentang!" The old man's words stunned both Yinzhen and Shu Yun.

A small matter, the men have resigned from the responsibility of the village head and elders, and the women are actually Shen Tang...

"Fourth madam, please save us!" The village head's wife cried, "My children are still young, if I die, what should the children do?"

Shu Yun frowned, listening to the series of pleadings from the seven women, she felt a little soft-hearted, should such an inhuman thing like Shen Tang be stopped?

Yinzhen noticed that Shu Yun's expression moved slightly, so he quickly reached out his left hand to hold her little hand, and she looked at Yinzhen with a bull's head.

"Don't worry about it!" Yinzhen said a sentence in Manchu in a voice that the two of them could hear.

Shu Yun's face froze for a moment, took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and looked at the women.

They found that Shu Yun was not moved, and their hearts slowly sank to the bottom. Today would be their day of death.

"Fourth master, I took out everything that was played. Please spare the child's mother. The child is still young. If the child's mother is gone...the family will really fall apart!" The village chief looked at his family. Daughter-in-law, after all, she has lived for many years, and she made such a mistake for the sake of her family.
