There was a lot of noise outside, and the gamblers in this house were all on the rise, and they directly ignored the movement outside, but the food and salary officer in Mi Town still let people go out to have a look, not worried about something happening outside, but it was too noisy, which made him upset.
"You guys go out and see what that group of pig-like people are doing, the noise makes Lao Tzu's head buzz, how to gamble for money."
There were the stewards who were in charge of taking care of the granary, the famous merchants in the town, and the gentlemen in the town, but the only people under him who could shout were the only ones under him.
However, he let go out to see what was going on outside, and the crazy person just pushed the door open and was shocked back by a huge force, and the movement on the ground was very large, so the casino set up in the granary was immediately quiet, but then there were countless angry voices, these people are all people with heads and faces in Yumi Town, only they smashed the door before, and now who dares to smash their door.
"Who dares to make trouble in the official mansion, be careful of Lao Tzu cutting off your head."
The grain officer of Mi Town scolded.
"Luo Xiang, you are so majestic, do you still know that this is an important place in the government?"
Ling Yan looked at the fact that there was a casino in the middle of the market, which was supposed to be a well-guarded military depot, and the anger in his heart increased.
Luo Xiang was the grain and salary official of Rice Town, and when he heard that the person who broke in dared to call him by his name, he looked closely at the fact that it was not only two young men about twenty years old who did not know him, he squinted his eyes and asked: "Who are you two, who dare to call this official by his name, be careful that trouble comes out of his mouth."
Xie Huahua laughed, Ling Yan's eyes were cold, under this gaze, Luo Xiang felt as if he was being targeted by a vicious wolf in the mountains, and the sense of fear spread in his heart.
However, there are still some people who are not afraid, especially the boys and buddies who are about the same age as Ling Yan in the casino, and they asked arrogantly, "What are you two like, you dare to make trouble here."
"Mouthy" Ling Yan casually picked up a dice from the gambling table next to him and threw it directly into this person's mouth, this person probably can't speak in his life, Ling Yan slowly walked towards Luo Xiang, Luo Xiang was frightened by Ling Yan's hand just now, and he didn't run away when Ling Yan walked to him.
Luo Xiang's legs trembled, and his mouth trembled: "You, you, what are you going to do?"
"Do you know who I am?"
Ling Yan just asked lightly, Luo Xiang shook his head, where did I know such a big man as you.
"Okay, since I don't know him, I'll tell you, my name is Ling Yan, have you heard of it?"
Luo Xiang is simply like being struck by lightning, Ling Yan, the little prince of the Heavenly Division, the fourth division of the Heavenly Division, who was appointed by His Majesty to inspect the Southwest Dao, overthrew Ling Yan of the Tianyang family in Hezhou before, and now Yang Xiao and Yang Yingfeng are still locked up in the prison of Hezhou City waiting to be beheaded, how could he actually provoke this big man.
Luo Xiang remembered that the guards had just come to report that there was a Lord Ling, and it turned out that Lord Ling was this Lord Ling, and he regretted it so much that Luo Xiang fell to his knees and trembled.
The rest of the people were also stunned, the name Ling Yan is now in the Southwest Province, if anyone doesn't know, then you must have been in the deep mountains and old forests for a long time, as long as you have been in the Southwest Road for half a month, you have not heard the name Ling Yan.
The face of the person who was directly cut by Ling Yan just now turned pale, he actually scolded Lord Qincha just now, thinking of this, he suddenly urinated incontinent, his crotch was wet, and the people around him covered their noses to avoid him when they smelled the smell, with disdain on their faces, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud.
Ling Yan looked down at Luo Xiang, who was kneeling in front of him, and said coldly, "Raise your head."
Luo Xiang raised his head tremblingly, his face and lips were pale, and sweat the size of a soybean was bubbling on his forehead, Ling Yan grabbed a pair of dice that Luo Xiang had just played on the gambling table, and asked, "If I let you eat this pair of dice and swallow the dragon, do you think you will die?"
"Down, the lower officials don't know."
Ling Yan's expression gradually calmed down, but Xie Huahua on the side knew him very well, and the calmer this buddy was, the more it proved that he was very angry, and he mourned in silence for this food officer.
"I don't know, I don't know, what do you know?
Let me ask you again how many catties of grain, how much dried meat, how many guards are there in the military grain depot in Qimizhen, and what is the 700th article of the court law?
” Luo Xiang didn't dare to take a breath, he should have known all these as the grain and salary official of Mi Town, but the worst thing is that he has long forgotten it, who has nothing to ask himself these questions.
Now that Ling Yan asked, Luo Xiang was very anxious, like an ant on a hot pot, but this answer was not something that could be rushed out.
And he didn't dare to answer that he didn't know, although he didn't know.
"Good, good, good" Ling Yan said three good words in a row, this person Luo Xiang was even more panicked, Ling Yan gently pinched the dice and turned into pieces in the palm of his hand, and then Ling Yan slowly sprinkled the fly ash on Luo Xiang's head.
The people around him didn't dare to say a word, for fear of provoking Ling Yan, but Ling Yan was already angry, and their current remedial actions were useless.
At this time, the guards responsible for guarding the Dongcang Gate received the news that someone had broken in and the officers and soldiers who came to help arrived, and the guards at the Dongcang Gate were stronger, so a hundred guards came at once.
But when they saw the scene in front of them, they were directly blindfolded, and their payroll was kneeling in front of a handsome young man, and everyone in the casino was motionless.
The guards who had been injured by Ling Yan just now walked in together and immediately identified Ling Yan and Xie Huahua as the bandits who trespassed into the military grain depot.
Whoa, whoa, whoa The spears were aligned, Ling Yan turned around and whispered: "I, Ling Yan, was ordered by His Majesty to inspect the Southwest Road, supervise the major affairs of the bandits, and when I inspected the granary of Mizhen, I saw with my own eyes Luo Xiang, the grain officer of Mizhen, who was privately setting up a casino in the military granary, which is an important place in the imperial court, damn it."
The officers and soldiers who came to support didn't believe it, but when Ling Yan took out the token representing the four divisions of the Heavenly Prison Division and the Qincha token given by the Son of Heaven, they knelt down and bowed.
Luo Xiang was directly stunned when he heard the word "damn" that Ling Yan said at the end, he Luo Xiang was also a figure in Qiumi Town, after all, he was in charge of military rations, and he had some relationship with the commanders of the surrounding barracks.
In the Southwest Province, the status of military generals is higher than that of civilian officials, especially those generals with soldiers and horses in their hands are even more awe-inspiring, and Luo Xiang naturally has a lot of connections with those commanders because he is in charge of the important military grain depot in Southwest Province.
And now Luo Xiang knows that everything is over, and offending Ling Si is the Yang family, which dominates Hezhou, has collapsed, how can he, a small grain and salary official in rice town, have such a ability.
"Pull Luo Xiang down, and when the official finds out other crimes, he will be sentenced together."
Now that Ling Yan's identity has been revealed, where dare those officers and soldiers not listen, Luo Xiang immediately became a prisoner, and when Luo Xiang was taken away, Ling Yan looked at the others in the casino.
These people were worried in their hearts, and they didn't know what Ling Yan would do with them, but Ling Yan was not a person who liked to kill, so he only warned these people, and then fined each one thousand taels of silver, but they were not so kind to the stewards of those military grain depots, and they were also arrested.
These people hurriedly thanked Ling Yan and put down the note, spending some money is not a big deal, but he saved his life, the boy who was cut off by Ling Yan and couldn't speak since he was scared to pee ran faster than anyone else.
Don't come and don't know that he was startled, Ling Yan went to the grain depot to check after sealing the casino in the military grain depot, and found that many of the dried meat in it were moldy and inedible, and there was also rice at a glance You can see that these rice grains are not qualified grains, according to the laws of the imperial court, rice is divided into four grades, especially the middle time, of which the special rice is all handed over to the treasury for the imperial grain, the high-grade rice is enjoyed by the princes and ministers, and the medium rice is used as military food, But now, when I look at the military rations in the military grain depot in this rice town, I know that the grain that was originally transported into the granary was inferior rice.
In addition, the granary with 20,000 stone of grain written in the account book was only 12,000 stone in the end, and the missing 8,000 stone grain was gone, Ling Yan asked everyone in the military granary and said that there had been so much grain in the granary all along.

This matter is either Luo Xiang secretly transported the military rations out by himself, or he did not complete the amount of military rations when he collected them during the autumn harvest, and then deliberately concealed that he had collected them all in order not to be punished by the imperial court, which may be a major crime of killing the head.
Ling Yan suspected that there was someone behind Luo Xiang in this matter, otherwise even if a mere food officer had the intention to conceal it, he would not have the ability to hide it, Ling Yan ordered a thorough investigation of the problems in the military grain depot and military rations, and all the people who were responsible for the collection and inspection of military rations were found in the treasury, and in addition, he also asked people to find out who Luo Xiang had a deep connection with over the years.
Afterwards, Ling Yan was glad that he had the idea of coming to Misi Town to investigate the situation of the military rations, otherwise there would be such a big hole in the military rations depot, and it would be fatal to have a shortage of food when there was a big battle with the Sword Tomb in the future.
In addition, now the war of bandits is also collected from the nearby military grain depot, and the town of Mi is one of them, and the suppression of bandits in the southwest is a major event of the imperial court, if the failure of the bandit suppression is caused by the military rations, Ling Yan will be held accountable, so Ling Yan must thoroughly investigate this matter.
Also, since this is the case here in Qiumi Town, it is inevitable that it is not in other places, Ling Yan immediately sent someone to see Su Po with his order, and asked Su Po to order an inventory of all the military grain depots in Hezhou, and once they found that the number was wrong or that they were shoddy, they would immediately arrest all the people involved.
In addition, those ordinary government granaries were also checked, and all the problems found were thoroughly investigated and arrested.
Hezhou officialdom, which has just undergone a major purge, may really have no officials anymore because of the grain depot, Ling Yan also knows this, but there is indeed no difference in food, and what about the big purge, there is no shortage of other places in this southwest province that can be officials, and there are many people who can become officials just by grabbing a handful from the capital.
Ling Yan and Xie Huahua sat together, and he was still very angry: "Huahua, you said that these people really dare to be greedy for anything, a small eight-grade grain and salary official can embezzle tens of thousands of taels of silver every year, and this is the most barren southwest road in the imperial court."
Xie Huahua also sighed: "These people, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and they don't know what they can be greedy, they really deserve to die."
As the only son of the Guogong Mansion in the capital, Xie Huahua usually comes into contact with a lot of dark sides, and he has seen countless corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but those officials who are officials in the capital know very well what they can be greedy and what they can be greedy for.
