Su Shi, who had always been kind to others, couldn't help but kill people. It can be seen that the actions of Jia Daoquan and others made him extremely angry, and he wanted to use extreme means to solve these disasters.

It was rare for Su Shi to be bold and bold.

They all have murderous intentions.

But Li Kui had to bite the bullet and tell Su Shi that this method would not work: "Master, please be patient. Although these people are full of evil, I'm afraid you can't kill them."

"Why is this?"

Su Shi twisted his neck, his eyes were blazing, and he looked like a god. His sharp eyes warned Li Kui: "Boy, don't try to fool me!"

That’s pretty much what it means!

Li Kui said anxiously: "Master, they are the most evil-doing people, but what they are doing now are normal transactions, there is no coercion, and there is no death or injury. Some of them use the money in their hands to make private loans and loans.

The borrower was unable to repay the money, so he had to transfer the collateral. They are not afraid of fighting this lawsuit. Even if it is brought to the court, they will not be punished. These are things that can be put on the surface. We will not take them at all.

There is no other way. Killing him is a waste of human life. The Censor will not be able to pass the test."

Although the trumped-up charges are very outrageous, it is impossible for any official in the Song Dynasty to kill people without any reason. Because cases of manslaughter and miscarriage of justice are common. But killing innocent people indiscriminately, even the censor felt that

Su Shi had nothing wrong, and he couldn't just sit idly by. If someone got so angry that after being bullied, he hanged himself in front of Jia Dao's family, that would be easy.

If you are confused, just kill Jia Daoquan. At least if this person is dead, the case will be much easier. Even Xu Rang can see that Jia Daoquan is the backbone of these people and the key to the case. Can't Su Shi and Li Kui understand it?

"I'm willing to risk everything..."

"Master, even if you kill people now, it can't be solved by killing just one or two people. In this case, there are no less than dozens of people involved, or even hundreds of people. There are a lot of people from Chang Pingcang, and there are

Rice merchants, and even people from the Economic Bureau, now we don’t even have time to look for evidence, and we are facing even greater troubles. According to the records of previous years, rice prices will skyrocket in the next ten days.

Last year, when the rice family was at its peak, a bucket of rice exceeded 20 yuan.

After the floods in Yingzhou in previous years, the price of rice was too high, which is understandable. But Master, the problem we encountered is different. Yingzhou clearly had enough food to stabilize the rice price, but it was hidden by people. Even these people didn't even know it.

If we are not prepared to turn food into money, even if we destroy it, we will cause a food shortage in Yingzhou."

Su Shi said angrily: "I have also seen this. All the grain in a charity warehouse is rotten. I'm afraid this is not the food of recent years. Most of the food in Yingzhou's charity warehouse is rice, which has been stored for four or five years without any problems. It has become rotten.

That would be enough food for at least six or seven years. Three granaries can't collect so much rotten food. It's obviously been stolen."

Su Shi's shouting about killing people was just to boost his confidence. He screamed loudly, but if he really wanted to kill people, he would hesitate. Only by considering the need for the imperial army to maintain the place was the remedy to avoid possible crises.

The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were all over the country, not just in the capital. Su Shi only had to report to the court that there was a possibility of civil unrest in Yingzhou, and he could ask for the imperial guards. It was not too difficult.

To investigate the evidence of these people's crimes, we have to start from the eighth year of Yuanfeng. But the problem is that it is almost seven or eight years since the eighth year of Yuanfeng. It is nearly ten years short. The files at that time may not be found, let alone

Let’s talk about witnesses and evidence.

Even if the case could be investigated, the waste of manpower and material resources would be an unimaginable dilemma.

The key is time, time waits for no one.

It is difficult to find useful clues for such old cases within three to five months. This was when all the witnesses were on the ground in Yingzhou and could easily be summoned at any time and anywhere. If someone left, they had to be questioned in another place, and the official documents were only on the road.

, it will cost an unknown amount of money.

As a last resort, Su Shi set his sights on the other two intact charity warehouses. With these two warehouses of grain, nothing could go wrong.

But Su Shi was in trouble, and the warehouse supervisor couldn't trust him, but he still had everyone available. Such a large granary would require at least a hundred people to manage and guard it.

But Su Shi looked around.

one.

two.

three.

Four.

five.

There are only five people he can mobilize, or in other words, he can trust. In his eyes, there are only three adults who can take on important tasks. He, Gao Qiu, and his son Su Guo. As for Li Kui and Li Yun,

They are all half-grown children, let alone whether they are stable or not. They don't even have a chance to fight with criminals.

As for what Zhou Yuan said in his letter, Li Kui was brave enough to be worthy of all men?

Su Shi didn't see it.

He actually found that Li Kui had a picky mouth and his taste for food matched him very well. Well, they both had the attributes of foodies, but Su Shi knew how to eat, but his cooking skills were worrisome. He mainly relied on

Only the concubine Wang Chaoyun's cooking skills can make you appreciate the beauty of food. As for Li Kui, he can eat and cook, but he is surprisingly lazy.

It's just that I rarely take action on weekdays.

But these skills, in the eyes of extremely vicious criminals, are not life-saving gadgets.

Even he was very worried about his son Su Guo. After all, Su Shi had no fear at all when facing the warehouse supervisor Jia Daoquan. If he killed him, the world would be shaken. The bandits in the Song Dynasty rebelled very strangely. They looked forward to being recruited every day, so I won't talk about the bandits.

You can kill generals and eunuchs, but you must not kill civil servants. Once you kill civil servants, the road to recruitment will be cut off. The court and the bandits will become a never-ending situation.

The army of the Song Dynasty could not defeat the army of the Liao Kingdom, and even against Xixia, which was in a corner of peace, they won less and lost more.

It's neither shameful nor impatient to say it's a tie.

The main thing is the war between the Song Dynasty and Xixia. Basically, if you can wipe out thousands of people, it is an incredible victory. There are many such victories. Even in terms of the victory-loss ratio, the Song Dynasty definitely has the upper hand. But Emperor Shenzong is the biggest in Xixia

A defeat, a loss of 400,000 people, and the army alone was more than 100,000. This requires a hundred major victories for one major defeat, and it is shameless to say that the battle with Xixia is 50-50.

However, the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty bullied the rebels and hit them accurately.

If Su Shi's identity falls into the hands of the rebels, and the rebels get good food and drink from the sponsors, the leader will have to visit him once a day, say hello, and ask if there is any dissatisfaction in the enemy camp, and if the weather is cold, do you want it?

Many people in warm beds... This is not a hostage at all, but an uncle. The vicious rebel leader did not dare to neglect the bachelor, because he still hoped that after he surrendered and was recruited that day, the bachelor would say a few good words.

, to promote his wealth.

Even if Jia Daoquan was preparing to rebel, Su Shi would not dare to move.

What's more, Jia Daoquan was just greedy and didn't even dare to think of rebellion.

Of course, there was no need to worry about Su Shi's safety, but Su Guo said otherwise, which troubled Su Shi greatly. To kill Su Shi was to challenge the authority of the civil servants, and to seek death in a treasonous manner. But there was no problem at all in killing Su Guo, because

Su Guo was not even a Jinshi. Even if he was Su Shi's son, he could not be used as a bargaining chip.

As for Gao Qiu...

You can hardly even care about your own son, so why should you think about the life of the young man?

Moreover, there is currently a shortage of manpower and Gao Qi is easy to use. Even Li Kui and Li Yun cannot escape. Su Guo also felt the depression in the atmosphere and suggested: "Father, we are few. There are not many people in the Yamen."

Who can be trusted? Mr. Xu is the only one who is upright and has the heart to eliminate evil. And he has been in Yingzhou for many years, so he may have someone who can be used. If we work together, we may be able to bring Jia Daoquan and others to justice."

Xu Rang does have the intention to get rid of Jia Daoquan, but Su Shi is now afraid of keeping it secret. If one more person knows his response, there is an additional risk of being betrayed. How could he let Xu Rang's people do things for him?

Especially Xu Rang's thoughts are too obvious. If Jia Daoquan and others are also on guard, Xu Rang will be the first to be on guard. Even Xu Rang will have Jia Daoquan's spies around him, secretly communicating with the thieves.

Besides, Su Shi had no way to deal with Jia Daoquan. He didn't even have a way to prepare food. It was even difficult for him to understand how these people could leverage such huge wealth. If Li Kui hadn't said something,

After hearing the general idea, he still had a dark look in his eyes.

He thought for a while, then shook his head and objected: "Uncle Xu Bao is an upright person, but it is inevitable that there are unsecret followers among his subordinates. Otherwise, he would not have been in Yingzhou for four years, but he has never been able to get evidence of the crimes of Jia Daoquan and others. It can be seen that

, and he has no good way to find evidence. For the current plan, we can only control the grain in the other two granaries, which can maintain the grain price for at least a month. We also need to deal with it calmly and adapt to changes by staying the same.

.So, although Uncle Bao is trustworthy, he is only one person, so you should not ask him for help at this time. At least it is not the right time now."

Not only that, Su Shi also thought that if he failed, evidence of the crimes of Jia Daoquan and others could not be found within this year?

Isn’t it very shameful?

What's even more shameful is that even if he knows the thieves' goals, he can only watch them make a fortune without being able to do anything about it.

He even planned to stay in Yingzhou for a few more years and spend time with Jia Daoquan and others. As for the court, as long as he explains the reason, I believe the princes will understand. Su Shi frowned and said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to live a leisurely life now.

, Shall we go to the government office to stay tomorrow?"

The people of Yingzhou did not care at all about the news of Xuexian Su's move. No matter how popular he was, ordinary people still could not feel Xuexian Su's vast literary spirit. Most of the people who admired him extremely were dabblers like Qin Wenguang.

This is Su Shi's group of die-hard fans.

Besides, spring plowing is about to begin, and the bachelor has had enough fun. Is there any problem with the government affairs of Yingzhou?

Living in the back office of the state government office was a certain convenience for handling government affairs. However, a group of people were very confused by Su Shi's reaction. They were not only confused, but even nervous.

In the most prosperous market in Yingzhou City, the signboard of Tongfu Tower hangs high, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going for dinner.

In the elegant room on the second floor, several middle-aged men wearing regular clothes and official boots gathered together in the elegant room.

The delicacies on the dining table were not moved. Instead, several two-kilogram wine jars were piled on everyone's dining table. A bowl of sweet sake was poured out. After taking a big sip, one could not hear refreshing praises, but occasionally heard

There was a sound of sighing.

Jia Daoquan, Sun Zhuo, and Liu An were all from Yingzhou. They had almost the same experience. Someone in their ancestors was an official. In this generation, they received the favor of the court and became a low-ranking warehouse supervisor.

Warehouse supervisor is an official, but not like an official.

At least, the official uniforms of warehouse supervisors are not sent to the court, so they have to make them themselves. And the fabric cannot be made of high-end fabrics such as silk and brocade, but can only be made of linen, and it must be a green color. The silk dyeing is at least bright, but

After the linen is dyed and washed, it is as disgusting as if it was pulled from a cemetery.

The warehouse supervisor seems to be an official, but he is not an official. His salary is not easy enough to support his family.
