Duan Si also finally mustered up the courage to speak loudly about what happened in the past six months, and he cried blood every word.

"Every time the grassroots approach Lin Yuanwai, Lin Yuanwai excuses that this year the new emperor ascends the throne, the treasury is empty, and the grain tax has increased.

But as far as the grassroots know, the grain tax has not increased, and it is nonsense to say that the harvest is less! "

They are veterans of farming, so how could they fail to estimate this year's grain production.

"The food tax has increased?"

Song Jiuyuan stared coldly at County Magistrate Chen beside him. His legs softened in fright, and he immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty is aware that it's all the slanderers' nonsense that slandered the officials. As we all know, the new emperor ascended the throne this year, and even reduced or exempted some of the food tax."

Duan Si exploded as soon as he heard it, he pointed at County Magistrate Chen angrily, "Officer Dog, you can tell the truth now!

Why didn't you think of this when you were in trouble with Lin Yuanwai back then, you knew how to entrap poor people like us! "

Lin Jiaojiao listened to Duan Si's accusation in a daze, her eyes full of concern.

No wonder Dad didn't dare to tell the truth, this is a serious crime.

Mrs. Lin and Lin Xinxin also realized the importance of the matter for the first time. If this is the case, what should they do?

"Terrorist!"

County magistrate Chen pointed at Duan Si, "You have no evidence to spout blood here, but you have to be responsible!"

"The grass people have nothing to fear, it's better than starving to death!"

Duan Si was really angry, so many people starved to death in their village, but what about this dog official?

I'm afraid they will be free with their life-saving food.

"Evidence, show the evidence!"

County magistrate Chen had no choice but to shout out the evidence without confidence, as if he really didn't do those dirty things.

"The evidence is here!"

There was a burst of shouting outside, it was Song Er, he was holding a ledger, and the people behind him were carrying food.

"My lord, my princess, this is the evidence my subordinates found in Master Lin's warehouse."

"Bring it up and take a look."

Song Jiuyuan's eyebrows relaxed, and Jiang Wan was also very surprised. She didn't expect that what she got was not the only evidence.

On the contrary, County Magistrate Chen panicked. He fixed his eyes on the booklet in Song Er's hand, and watched Song Jiuyuan take it.

"You keep talking."

Song Jiuyuan motioned to Duan Si, flipped through the booklet he was looking at, and after reading it blankly, he handed it to Jiang Wan.

The section over there talked intermittently about the matter of the forest staff withholding their food, and there was no other tricks over and over again.

Instead, Jiang Wan read the booklet and threw it in front of County Magistrate Chen.

"Let's see for yourself, my lord!"

It's just the deduction ratio recorded by Lin Yuan. Of course, he didn't mention himself in detail. County magistrate Chen was overjoyed after reading it.

"My lord, I didn't expect Lin Yuanwai to be such a person. It seems that what this person said is true. Everything in the Lin family is at the disposal of the lord."

"Master!"

Lin Xinxin was shocked, she didn't care about Lin Jiaojiao, but her mother was from the Lin family.

"lady."

County magistrate Chen patted the back of her hand hypocritically, "Father-in-law did outrageous things, and he should be punished."

Simply because he was interested, and he was not recorded in the register, County Magistrate Chen was determined.

"If he wasn't for you, how could he do this!"

Lin Jiaojiao was so angry that she went to grab the brochure to read it. County magistrate Chen had already read it and didn't stop her.

It clearly stated when and how many grains were withheld, and even who was withheld.

But it didn't write where Lin Yuanwai sent the embezzled things.

Lin Jiaojiao shouted: "Isn't all the food given to you?"

"nonsense."

Although Lin Xinxin guessed the truth, she wanted to protect herself and her child.

"It's fair to say Su is the most frugal. If you really received so much food, why so much?"

She looked at Mrs. Lin pleadingly. Mrs. Lin was heartbroken, but she still helped her daughter and said:

"Yes, my lord, these are all done by my lord alone, and you have also seen it.

He is full of Jiaojiao, these are what he left for Jiaojiao, we Xinxin have nothing. "

The more she talked about it, the more she felt it was unfair. They were both daughters. He was so considerate for Jiaojiao, but never for Xinxin.

"You bullshit!"

Lin Jiaojiao regretted, regretting that she never cared about her father well before.

"Miss."

Huang Jie supported Lin Jiaojiao distressedly so that she would not fall, "You keep saying that this was done by Master Lin alone.

Then what were you guys doing in such a panic just now? Aren't you guilty? "

For Jiaojiao's sake, he was not afraid of death, and boldly told the truth, which surprised magistrate Chen, and he calmed down quickly.

Then he said to Song Jiuyuan: "My lord, Lin Jiaojiao must be resentful that the officials always control her, that's why she wants to drag the officials into the water.

The lower officials absolutely did not participate in these matters. If it weren't for Master Lin's death, the lower officials could even kill their relatives righteously! "

What he said was high-sounding, but he felt that there was no evidence, so he could slander Lin Yuanwai as much as he wanted.

"Princess, my father used to be kind and gentle, and he did good deeds many years ago. He would never embezzle money for his own selfish desires!"

Lin Jiaojiao looked at Jiang Wan pleadingly, and then at Duan Si who was full of anger, "You are a tenant of the Lin family.

You should know that before my sister got married, my father rarely deducted your food. "

"This……"

Duan Si fell into memory, Master Lin had never done such a thing before, and he was tolerant towards them.

But people are fickle, who knows why.

"You only know how to play beautiful men all day long, what can you know?"

Lin Xinxin also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the husband is fine, as for the mother, they will slowly find a way.

"Magistrate Chen, this matter really has nothing to do with you?"

Jiang Wan was too lazy to listen to their spat, but looked directly at County Magistrate Chen with a warning in her eyes.

"Your Excellency is an official, you should know that voluntarily admitting mistakes and being found out are two different concepts."

"The lower official doesn't understand what the princess is talking about."

County magistrate Chen was still playing dumb, "This official is indeed at fault. The fault is that he didn't discover the behavior of his father-in-law earlier. This official is willing to accept the crime!"

In other words, he only accepts the crime of negligence, and he denies the others.

"Is it?"

Jiang Wan glanced at him mockingly, and suddenly took out a few ledgers from her sleeve.

She didn't look at it carefully when she first got it, but now she sent it directly to Song Jiuyuan, "I just brought these out of the Lin residence.

Prince, please take a look first, and then you can show it to County Magistrate Chen, he must be very interested. "

Song Jiuyuan looked at it seriously, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became. The previous basically recorded in detail the grain that Master Lin handed in every time.

There was even a list at the end, except for Lin Yuan, the list of wealthy gentry in Qinniu Town who paid tribute.

Song Jiuyuan threw one of the ledgers in front of County Magistrate Chen, "Look for yourself!"

"My lord."

County magistrate Chen trembled, he didn't dare to look, a bad premonition rose in his heart, he was finished!
