Chapter 119 One hundred load of grain

Seeing Zhang Nan so firm, Wang Ge had no choice but to take Zhang Nan and Wei Tianwu to the place where he released the food.

The place where the grain was released was actually not far from the supervisor's shed. The more I walked to the place where the grain was released, the weaker Wang Ge's legs became. Finally, not far from the granary, Wang Ge refused to leave no matter what.

Seeing Wang Ge stopping, Zhang Nan knew that there must be something wrong with it. He smiled and said, "What's wrong, is Lord Wang's leg a fake leg? Why don't you leave?"

"Secretary, lower official..." Wang Ge stuttered and couldn't say anything.

Wei Tianwu also thought that something was wrong with the food given by the court, but he did not expect that Wang Ge was so brave that he dared to touch the food given by the court.

"Mr. Wang, there are two steps left, why don't you go?" Wei Tianwu said.

"Look, this grain was probably moved to his home by Lord Wang. Forget it, I'll go and see it myself. Please please look at this Wang Ge here and don't let him run away." Zhang Nan said.

"Well, Lord Zhang will go and see me. With me here, he can't escape." After Wei Tianwu said that, Zhang Nan walked towards the granary where the grain was released by himself.

Because the granary was placed in the construction site, it was safer, so the door was not locked. Zhang Nan went directly into the granary. I believe that Wang Ge also thought that these civilians did not have such courage to steal grain, so no one looked at the grain in the granary.

When Zhang Nan entered the granary, he looked at the not-so-small granary and only had more than twenty ducts of grain. Zhang Nan smiled. Although Li Er was quite stingy, he was not so stingy. He only gave this No. 100-digit ration to only twenty ducts of food for so many days.

It must be that Wang Ge brought the grain to his own house or Wang Ge was so brave that he secretly sold the food that Li Er gave to the civil servant. Compared with these two situations, Zhang Nan prefers the latter.

Zhang Nan looked at the empty granary and retreated. Anyway, this Wang Ge must be finished.

Zhang Nan left the granary and returned to Wei Tianwu. As soon as he went back, he saw Wang Ge squatting on the ground, covering his face, looking like he couldn't show up.

"What's wrong? Is this? Lord Wang wants to go to the toilet?" Zhang Nan said with a smile.

Wei Tianwu ignored Zhang Nan's joke and asked, "Sir Zhang, what's going on in the granary?"

"What's the situation? We need to ask this Lord Wang carefully. I wonder how many meals will Lord Wang and his supervisors eat in a day?" Zhang Nan asked with a smile.

Hearing Zhang Nan’s question, Wang Ge seemed to want to make a final struggle, so he stood up.

"Of course, we have three meals a day, which is nothing more than a little better than the folks." Wang Ge said.

"Oh, then it seems that Lord Wang must have eaten a lot of food for three meals this day. There are only twenty dans of grain left in the granary for these thousand people. I wonder what Lord Wang wants these villagers to eat? Do you eat dirt?" Zhang Nan asked.

"This military academy has been built for a while, and it is not surprising that there are twenty dans of food left. The previous civilians ate a little more, but the officials did not control how much food they should be allocated to them every day, so that there is only so much left." Wang Ge argued.

"Is that so? Lord Wang's mouth is really hard. Do you have to ask the civilians who work in person?" Zhang Nan said as he looked at Wang Ge's quibbling look.

"Forget it, Lord Wei, how much food has this emperor allocated?" Zhang Nan didn't want to continue arguing with Wang Ge, so he asked Wei Tianwu.

"This, the emperor has allocated a total of 500 dan of grain to build this military academy." Wei Tianwu thought for a while and said.

"Okay, Lord Wang, how many days has this military academy been built? I remember it should be just about one month." Zhang Nan continued without waiting for Wang Ge to speak, "In this month, one thousand civil servants can't eat 500 dan of grain no matter how much they eat. Even if this thousand civil servants eat according to your pig-style method, it is probably only a dozen dan of dan a day. After only one month, there are only twenty dans left. I wonder what Lord Wang can explain this that almost one hundred dan of grain is missing."

Wang Ge originally wanted to fool him and then went there, but he didn't expect that Zhang Nan would settle the accounts so clearly. He couldn't block the gap of his hundred dans of food. In an instant, he felt like he had lost his soul and squatted on the ground again.

"What's wrong? Does Lord Wang want to go to the toilet again?" Zhang Nan asked with a smile.

Wei Tianwu saw that Wang Ge actually lost 100 dan of food, and asked sternly: "Wang Ge, I will give you another chance to explain clearly where the remaining 100 dan of food has gone."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Wang Ge had to do it truthfully. After all, he was caught and could not escape.

"Secretary, the lower official sold these hundred dans of grain." Wang Ge said truthfully.

When he heard Wang Ge say that he had sold the food, Zhang Nan smiled, no different from what he thought, while Wei Tianwu was angry. Isn’t this slap himself in the face? His subordinates actually did such a thing, and this was about to reach the emperor’s ears. In addition to punishing Wang Ge, the rest of the fire would probably be sent to him.

Wei Tianwu became more and more angry as he thought about it, and shouted loudly: "Wang Ge, you are so brave. You dare to sell the grain distributed by the court secretly. It's really awesome."

"This... the lower official knew that he was wrong, so he asked the adults to give the villain a chance." Wang Ge heard Wei Tianwu say this and quickly beg for mercy.

"Opportunity? I'll give you a chance. The emperor won't give me a chance. Let's go, follow me to the Ministry of Justice. Although you are an official with a big flies, you still have to let the Ministry of Justice come to trial you." Wei Tianwu sneered.

Zhang Nan looked at Wei Tianwu and Wang Ge with great interest, and watched the fun. Zhang Nan still liked it very much, after all, it had nothing to do with him.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid I can't accompany you today. I'm going to send this bold thing to the Ministry of Justice. Lord Zhang will do it yourself." After Wei Tianwu said that, he glanced at Wang Ge fiercely. Isn't this a problem? He dared to sell the emperor's grain, and even sold so many at once. He was really bold.

Just as Zhang Nan was trying to say something, Wei Tianwu walked to Zhang Nan and whispered to Zhang Nan: "Mr. Zhang, I hope you can say more good words to me in front of the emperor. This is also because the officials are not disciplined properly. Hey, it is really a shame..."

When Zhang Nan heard this, he said, "Don't worry, Lord Wei, I believe that the emperor is not an unreasonable person. If the emperor takes his anger on Lord Wei, I will definitely stand up and speak for Lord Wei."

When Wei Tianwu heard this, he bowed and said, "Then I will thank Lord Zhang first. Lord Zhang will do it yourself. I will send this bold thing to the Ministry of Justice first. When the treatment is finished, I will definitely invite Lord Zhang to drink."
