I have a supermarket system, shocking the whole court
Chapter 168 The ambition of the swan
After all, as the right-hand man of the original owner's father, he naturally appears often in her life.
When the original owner was thrown into prison, the deputy was naturally also imprisoned, even though the yamen runners kept torturing him in an attempt to make him confess and accuse his father of stealing 100,000 taels of gold.
However, the deputy director held on and did not plead guilty.
Afterwards, the original owner was escorted to the capital, and no one knew what happened to the deputy director.
Now it seems that although he does not have to be escorted to the capital, he still suffers a lot.
Ning Ning reached out her hand and helped him up: "Deputy Director, please don't do this. You haven't recovered yet, so get up quickly. Besides, you are my elder in private, so how can I ask you to kneel before me? In public, you have been working in this mine for decades, and I am just going down to the mine for the first time. How can I ask the great senior master to kneel before me?"
Everyone was moved by Ning Ning's words, but the deputy director still insisted: "You are the Jin official, and we are your subordinates. Here, only the official position is considered, not the seniority. It is normal for subordinates to pay a visit to their superiors."
"If you really want to say that, then you shouldn't kneel to me. After all, I am just temporarily in charge of my brother's affairs. When my brother comes back, I won't care if you kneel to him. In short, you get up first."
Ning Ning pulled the deputy director up without saying a word.
This action was commonplace for her, but it was very touching for everyone present.
In their eyes, Ning Ning has simply reached a new level. Not only is she filial to her father, she is also very kind to her colleagues. A good father will have a good daughter. Lord Ning has raised a good daughter!
Ning Ning was unaware of everyone's feelings. After pulling up the deputy director, he went straight to the point.
She looked the badge from left to right. There was only a time and a weight written on it: Autumnal Equinox, thirty thousand taels of gold.
"This is?"
The deputy director looked melancholy and said, "This is the imperial court's collection order this year. Our mining area needs to hand over 30,000 taels of gold on the autumnal equinox."
The order had already been issued before the 100,000 taels of gold case, and Lord Ning had already started to handle the matter.
As a result, before the mobilization meeting even started, 100,000 taels of gold were lost, and the mine fell into chaos.
Now, it is less than three months away from the autumnal equinox, but there is still no clue about the 30,000 taels of gold.
The laws in Daliang are very strict. Although they don't usually care about mining affairs, if you don't deliver on the designated date, you will be held accountable severely.
Not only that, if the gold officials under his rule are guilty, all the miners will be implicated.
Previously, the mining area had been sealed off, and no one had been sent to manage it, so there was nothing the group could do without a leader. Now that the gold official has been re-established, he naturally has to quickly implement this matter.
Of course, if there is really no way to complete it, it would be better to inform the higher-ups in advance and ask the court to give more time.
Ning Ning nodded after understanding the situation: "I've made note of this matter. I will take care of it eventually, don't worry."
As she spoke, she took a step forward and looked at everyone present.
"Since the imperial court has already issued the collection order, we cannot delay any longer. From today on, the mining area will resume normal mining! Let's work together and move forward hand in hand to let the saint know that in the distant Minzhou, there is a group of loyal people at the foot of Wuji Mountain who have been silently working for the prosperity of Daliang and the prosperity of the people.
We don't have a strong body, but we have a strong will. We don't have a luxurious life, but we are determined to give our families a better life.
Here I promise that I will lead you to a bright future. As long as I am here, you will have a full stomach. I will make sure everyone has a good life! Our mine will get better and better and become the strongest pillar of Daliang! "
After these words were spoken, everyone in the room fell silent.
No one seemed to have expected that a little girl could have such great strategies and ambitions. Even a man might not have such lofty ambitions.
As a result, everyone bowed to her sincerely and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely do our best!"
"Okay, from now on, everyone returns to their respective posts, and the Wujishan Mine officially resumes work!"
Following Ning Ning's order, everyone took action and returned to their positions one after another.
As for Ning Ning, under the leadership of the deputy director, she finally arrived at the warehouse where only leaders could go.
That is where gold is usually stored.
Originally, Shang Wenqi and the others were not allowed to come in, but who could blame them for being the Qingyun Left Cavalry of the current dynasty? They represent the saints.
All under heaven belongs to the king, and there is really no place in Daliang that they cannot go.
A small warehouse is no problem.
"The warehouse has no windows, and even the ceiling is sealed tightly with bricks. There is only one way in, through the main door." The deputy manager led them in.
This is a square building made of marble. It is not very big, but there are stone steps leading to the underground.
It was also at this time that Ning Ning realized that it was an underground warehouse.
In ancient times, the underground was indeed an indestructible place. As long as you guard the door, you can basically be like one man blocking a thousand.
Therefore, since one hundred thousand taels of gold disappeared and there were no casualties outside, it is no wonder that the court suspected Ning Zhongyi of embezzlement.
In fact, when Liu Xianzhou was interrogated, he had already told everything.
When they sent people to steal the 100,000 taels of gold, they did not rob openly, but they secretly built a secret passage. They dug a tunnel through the warehouse and then transported the 100,000 taels of gold away silently.
However, this secret passage was dug very secretly and no one has discovered it so far.
At this time, they went down to the warehouse and the first thing they did was to look for this secret passage.
Shang Wenqi had a very good eye and he immediately determined the location of the secret passage just by looking around.
Then, with a kick, the bricks that had been carefully restored to their original state collapsed immediately, revealing a large hole where the thieves had stolen something.
When the deputy chief saw the tunnel, his eyes widened.
"This...this...this..."
Seeing how shocked he was, Ning Ning explained considerately, "This was revealed by the people who actually stole the gold. They stole the gold through this man-made secret passage."
The deputy director suddenly realized what was going on, and his first thought was to quickly clear Lord Ning's name. But the next second he suddenly remembered, no, Lord Ning had already been cleared of all charges.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh.
"If only we had been more careful when we checked ourselves, if we had discovered this secret passage, Lord Ning wouldn't have been charged with such a serious crime."
"Now that things have come to this, there is no point in regretting. The present is the most important thing." Ning Ning comforted the deputy director and began to look around the place.
The hole dug must be sealed, but this incident also proves that storing things underground is not the safest.
We still have to think of the best solution again.
She couldn't help but think of surveillance.
