Chapter 142 Corrupt Officials
Zhang Liang said coldly: "When you followed me to learn martial arts, I said that those who practice martial arts should not rely on a little bit of fist and foot skill to take risks. Have you ever remembered it in your heart?
What's more, in that situation at that time, there was no need for you to take risks. When you discovered the bandits, you just need to come back quietly to deliver the letter. In the darkness of the enemy, twenty bandits could not make any big waves. But you chose to act alone!"
Jiang Yun whispered: "I don't want anyone to be hurt..."
Zhang Liang snorted coldly, "You don't want everyone to be injured, have you ever thought that you might be injured?! Have you ever thought about what your family should do if something happened to you? Can your mother bear this stimulation?"
As the leader, he doesn't want anyone to be injured, but this does not mean that he wants Jiang Yun to take risks alone without telling everyone.
Thinking of Liu Su who had finally raised better recently, Jiang Yun felt a little guilty: "Then isn't it okay for me..."
Zhang Liang was almost angry and laughed, "Do you still think you are very powerful? You can escape with one or two, and you will be invincible?"
Jiang Yun blinked his eyes: Isn’t it?
Seeing her like this, Zhang Liang was so angry that he couldn't help but hold his forehead.
Zhang Liang: "Yes! You escaped unscrupulously this time, but you don't think about it. You sent everyone away and showed off by yourself. If something goes wrong, who can save you?!"
Jiang Yun knew that he was inappropriate and lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
"At this point, you know your mistake, but you still argue every sentence." Zhang Liang waved his hand with some fatigue and sighed: "Forget it, since you have such an idea, you don't have to practice martial arts with me in the future. I can't teach you, so you can do it yourself."
Jiang Yun was stunned and explained hurriedly: "Uncle, I really know I was wrong. Really, I promise! I will never act alone again in the future and will take risks!"
Seeing Zhang Liang lowering his eyes and ignoring her, Jiang Yun could only look at Jiang Yang beside him with help.
Jiang Yang looked at her pitifully and subconsciously turned her head to look at Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang glared at him with a grudge, "You are the boss, but as Jiang Yun's uncle, I was her official master before today. She did something wrong, so I should be able to discipline her, right?"
Jiang Yangpi, implicated by the war, tightened her head and smiled and said with apologies: "Brother-in-law, look at what you said, we are a family, you are an elder, and her master. If she did something wrong, you will naturally be punished."
Zhang Liang snorted lightly, “Then don’t worry.”
Jiang Yang: "I don't care, I definitely don't care."
Jiang Yun:...
Ignoring Jiang Yun's eyes for help, Jiang Yang changed his tone, "It's just that the bandit suppression is still in the village, and the most urgent thing is to deal with them first."
Seeing Zhang Liang's face relaxed a little, Jiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Yun angrily: "Tell me, what's going on in the copycat now."
Jiang Yun: "It's all done, Lei Hu has checked it, don't worry."
Jiang Yang gritted his teeth, "Let you say it in detail."
Jiang Yun could only say carefully what she and Lei Hu did.
...
After the three of them repeatedly confirmed that there was nothing missing, Jiang Yang said again: "So, where have you got the rest?"
Jiang Yun looked serious: "It's hidden in the mountains. Don't worry, no one can find this."
Jiang Yang obviously didn't believe it and said speechlessly: "So many things, as long as you walk through the mountains, you will leave traces. Where can you get the confidence that you won't be found?"
Jiang Yun: "Oh, I carried those cars one by one, so I guarantee that there was no trace left."
Jiang Yang, Zhang Liang:...
Although it is outrageous, Jiang Yun can do it.
Seeing that she was unwilling to say, Jiang Yang no longer asked where the things were hidden, but said worriedly: "Then what are you going to do with those things? I would like to remind you first. Those things are dirty and have unknown origins. You can't take action easily and be careful to cause trouble."
Seeing that the two of them did not blame her for hiding dirt, Jiang Yun felt a little guilty, "Don't you blame me for hiding dirt?"
Zhang Liang glanced at her and continued to remain silent.
Jiang Yang also gave her a blank look, "You dare to move if you know it's a dirty thing? Now you know you're scared? What have you been doing long ago?"
Jiang Yun was scolded and had no temper at all: "...why don't you return those things?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yang snorted lightly and wrapped his hands around his chest, "Why should I go back?"
Jiang Yun:???
So did she do it right or wrong?
Jiang Yang said angrily: "We worked hard to wipe out the bandits, and you snatched them at the risk of your life. Why should those people be cheap?"
Having said that, Jiang Yang had never had the idea of those dirty things before, and just thought about how much spoils he could get.
But when he was chatting with the state soldiers, he learned that except for the official silver, most of the dirt belongings, they had to be taken back to honor the people who were above them. Not to mention them, even the officers who came to suppress the bandits would not be able to get the spoils.
Judging from the meaning, these dirty things may have ended up in the pockets of those officials.
In order to make Wang Xianyi believe that they did not have any private hiding, Jiang Yang also specifically hinted that he hoped to share some spoils.
First, it shows their normal desire for property, and second, it shows that they follow the rules and do not dare to do anything randomly except for delusions.
Wang Xianyi obviously enjoyed this, but he only pretended not to understand the spoils.
He even asked about the road to the back mountain with his own words.
It was obvious that I planned to go to the mountain village tomorrow, so I would take those things directly from the back mountain to the official road to Minzhou.
In this way, the county magistrate Han was busy for nothing, and it would be difficult for Manager Qiu to get the goods back.
Jiang Yun didn't expect that there was such an inside story in it, and he was speechless for a moment.
Jiang Yang sighed, "So, just keep it privately, it's better than getting into the pockets of those corrupt officials." There is no reason why they took risks ahead, and those corrupt officials got all the benefits.
Jiang Yun felt a little sorry for County Magistrate Han and Manager Qiu.
Mr. Han had said before that Mr. Han was demoted and had no money or no one, and it was very difficult to act.
It is precisely because of this that when he learned that Guan Yin was in Feiying Village, he tried his best to promote the suppression of bandits.
Because that batch of official silver was originally sent to Yuqing County, once it was retrieved, it would continue to stay in Yuqing County. With this batch of official silver, the primary problem of Yuqing County was solved.
As for other property, Yuqing County cannot keep it.
But now Wang Xianyi has even transported the official silver and the goods that should have been returned to Manager Qiu. Not only Manager Qiu suffered heavy losses, but Mr. Han’s dilemma is also difficult to solve.
Thinking of Mr. Su's appearance when he talked about these things, Jiang Yun was worried and couldn't help but suggest, "Why would I go down the mountain overnight to send a letter to Mr. Han and ask him to send someone to stop him tomorrow?" It's hard to walk at night in the mountains, so it's more suitable for her to go.
Jiang Yang glared at her, "You don't need you. I have already asked Chen Huo Nian to take people down the mountain overnight."
Jiang Yun wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Zhang Liang, "They have practiced with me for so long. If they can't even walk a mountain road together, there is no need to practice anymore. I can't afford to lose that person."
Jiang Yun suddenly fell silent and just quietly complained to Jin Ba: Why did my uncle drive people away at any time?
Jinba: Maybe you are all too bad, he is really unbearable.
Jiang Yun:...Apart from my bad luck, where is the food?
Jinba: You are amazing, but you can't control it. It's a thorny and upsetting thing.
Jiang Yun:...
Zhang Liang said again: "However, even the people from the county government may not be able to change anything. There are 200 state troops. If you really want to leave, unless the Han County Magistrate comes in person, no one can stop him."
