In the famine, she stockpiled space supplies and became a bandit.

Chapter 147 Please handle this impartially

"This is impossible." Because it was the first thing he did after taking office, Su Jing was extremely serious. He could even recite the document by heart, so how could he have read it wrong?

But now, he turned it over and over again, and found that everything else was exactly the same, even the position of the boss's seal had not changed, only the distribution of wheat was missing.

Zuo Xun, who was standing by, had already understood the key point. His expression suddenly became extremely ugly: "Master Dong, Master Wei has just left, and you are still doing this. Aren't you afraid that we will report you?"

Dong Yue looked at the two of them in confusion: "Master Zuo, Master Su, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word you say."

"This is the document handed over by the boss. It is indeed correct."

"You——" Su Jing pointed at his nose with a sullen face: "I still don't believe it. If the document is wrong, how can the food be wrong?"

After he said that, he snorted coldly and walked towards the granary with Zuo Xun.

But when he opened the door, he saw that there was only corn inside. The wheat that was piled full yesterday was gone.

Dong Yue smiled amiably at the two men and said, "My Lords, I have already said that you must have seen it wrong. There is no such thing as wheat."

"It's a famine year now. It's already very good that the boss can give each citizen a bushel of millet. How could he give a bushel of wheat?"

Su Jing and Zuo Xun knew that Dong Yue must have embezzled the money, but they had no power or influence.

After looking at each other, the two men mounted their horses and rushed outside. They must tell Lord Wei the news.

The county lieutenant stared at the two men's backs and asked sinisterly, "Sir, do you want to capture them?"

“No need.” Dong Yue said calmly, “Just follow the old practices.”

When Wei Qing heard Su Jing's story, he was shocked at first, and then he felt endless guilt: "It's all my fault for not checking it out before leaving him here."

"Sir, how can this be blamed on you? It's because Dong Yue is too pretentious. We just found out that he is such a person." Su Jing said.

"Plus, with several big families helping them cover up, it's even harder to detect. We always thought he was a good official."

The fact was already like this, Wei Qing no longer hesitated and said decisively: "Let's go, I want to see what this Dong Yue has done."

However, when Wei Qing came and questioned him, Dong Yue looked aggrieved: "Sir, how is this possible? These are the life-saving grains that the boss has worked so hard to allocate for the people."

"No matter how crazy I am, I can't do such an inhumane thing. I have distributed a bushel of corn and wheat to adults and half a bushel to children.

what?

Su Jing and Zuo Xun's eyes widened: "You are lying. You only distributed corn and no wheat at all. You even changed the documents of the boss."

"I have no grudge against you two, why are you saying this to me?" Dong Yue glanced at the two of them with humiliation, then lifted his clothes and knelt in front of Wei Qing.

"Sir Wei, I have been serving the people wholeheartedly and working hard without complaint, but I have been framed like this. Please help me."

"You——" Su Jing and Zuo Xun's eyes went dark: "We are telling the truth. If anyone has framed you, you can bring out the documents and confront them."

Dong Yue straightened his back and said righteously: "I am upright and I am not afraid of my own shadow. I will confront you if you dare."

He asked the servant to bring the document and handed it to Wei Qing: "Please take a look, sir."

Looking at his expression, no matter how dumb Wei Qing was, he knew that people had anticipated this long ago and had made a comprehensive plan.

Sure enough, after receiving the document, I saw that it was the document issued by Luo Xi, without a single word changed.

Wei Qing handed it to Su Jing and the other man silently.

Su Jing took it and looked at it, then he fell to the ground immediately: "This is impossible, how is this possible? What I saw before clearly didn't say this, it's impossible..."

He gritted his teeth and insisted: "Sir, I want to randomly call a few people to investigate. They definitely did not receive the wheat."

At this point, Wei Qing already knew that he could not find out anything, but he still agreed.

Soon, people from several different villages were brought up, but they all said that each of them received a bushel of corn and wheat, and they knelt on the ground in gratitude, thanking Luo Xi from afar.

Su Jing and Zuo Xun turned pale instantly, and knelt down in front of Wei Qing: "Sir, everything we said is true, and we have not framed anyone."

Dong Yue also kowtowed to Wei Qing and said, "Sir, I have never done anything like this. Please be fair and clear my name."

How could Wei Qing not know that Dong Yue was pretending, but he had no evidence and was in a dilemma.

Just at this moment, the patriarchs of several major families in Cangfeng County came over with their men.

"Master Wei, Master Dong has always been dedicated to the people. How could he allow these two scoundrels to slander him like this? Please execute them immediately to serve as a warning to others."

"Yes, to serve as a warning to others!"

Su Jing and Zuo Xun's faces turned pale. They both glanced at Wei Qing over there at the same time, then closed their eyes.

Oh, they came from poor backgrounds and never had any way out.

They are delusional!

As the person in charge of this official selection, how could Wei Qing let two people die innocently? His mind was racing.

How can we save these two people?

"The boss is here!"

At this time, someone shouted.

As the words fell, a figure in silver armor and a red cloak, holding a saber, walked towards this side step by step.

Behind her, Qi Lei followed slowly with several thousand Red Soul Army soldiers. They were wearing uniform armor and weapons, and each of them had a blank expression and a solemn look on their faces. They protected Luo Xi in the middle.

What a heroic woman! What a Red Soul Army!

Dong Yue swallowed hard. At this moment, he regretted what he had done.

"Dong Yue, nice to meet the boss." He bowed his head and greeted in a low voice.

Luo Xi only glanced at him calmly, then looked at Wei Qing: "What's going on?"

Wei Qing let out a long sigh of relief.

That’s great, things will be simple once the boss arrives.

He quickly explained the whole story in a few words and handed over the document as evidence.

Luo Xi didn't answer, but just asked: "Who do you believe?"

"This..." Wei Qing glanced at Su Jing and the other two, then looked at Luo Xi, and finally said: "Of course I believe Su Jing and Zuo Xun, but... I don't have any evidence."

Luo Xi curled the corners of his lips and smiled: "Very good!"

"Master Wei, how could you do this?" Dong Yue panicked and used the same old trick again: "I am dedicated to the people, and there are many clan leaders and people in Cangfeng County to testify to this."

"How can you believe what these two people say, with no witnesses or physical evidence, who are accusing me of something?"

The patriarchs of several major families over there also began to speak up for Dong Yue: "Yes, Lord Wei, if you do this, it will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world. Everything must be based on evidence, right? How can you speak based on your feelings?"

After Wei Qing finished speaking, those people knelt down towards Luo Xi again: "Please handle this impartially and clear Lord Dong's name."

"Innocence? I will return it myself." Luo Xi clicked his tongue twice and walked over with his saber in hand.
