- C1002 The crime of dereliction of duty 1002
In the past few days, this Lord Yan had never mentioned the matter of the account book. He thought that he had been muddled, so why did he mention it just as he was getting sick?
Zhu Yi Dou felt that something was amiss, but he couldn’t think of anything in the process. He braced himself and asked: “Master, do you feel that there’s something wrong with the account book?”
Although Madam Zhu was not satisfied that Yan Yuan insisted on bringing up the official business at this time, since Zhu Yi Dou did not say anything, she naturally did not dare to say it either.
Zhu Yi Dou’s eyes had been staring at Yan Yuan’s face the entire time, so naturally, he saw the originally smiling face of Yan Yuan turn cold in an instant, and replacing it was a terrifying coldness.
Zhu Yi Dou had seen this kind of imposing aura a few days ago, it was just that in these few days, Zhu Yi Dou felt that this messenger was much easier to talk to than he was at the start. He actually forgot about the pressure when he first met this young man, it was so oppressive that no one dared to breathe loudly.
Now that she saw him like this again, she felt very uneasy and her forehead began to throb more and more.
Seeing Yan Yuan taking out two books from his sleeve, Zhu Yi Dou recognized one of them as the fake account book of the victims that he had asked Master Liang to request for food from him.
Zhu Yi Dou fiercely jumped between his brows and upon closer inspection, he realized that it was not the account book about emergency food that he had hidden away.
Although he was not as scared as before, Zhu Yi Dou did not dare to completely relax, especially when he saw Yan Yuan’s cold face and not say a word.
Yan Yuan pointed to one of the account books and said to Zhu Yi Dou: “This is the account book that Lord Zhu handed to me a few days ago.
“This official thinks that I do.”
Zhu Yi Dou nodded his head, but he was still unable to guess what Yan Yuan was trying to do.
Just as he was anxiously preparing, preparing to carefully answer every one of Yan Yuan’s questions, he saw Yan Yuan pointing at another book, and said: “On this book, I have sent people to record the names of the people who died in this flood.”
If Zhu Yi Dou was a pig, then he did not have any intentions of bullying, it was just that Yan Yuan had explained it so clearly now, and Zhu Yi Dou still did not understand the meaning behind it.
Liu Ruo Qing, who was at the side, saw all of Zhu Yi Dou’s expression and could not help but curse him “stupid pig” in his heart.
Yan Yuan was too lazy to intercede with him, and continued: “Why did all of these 130 dead people appear on the account book that Lord Zhu gave to me?”
Even if Zhu Yi Dou was stupid as a pig, if Yan Yuan had already explained it to such an extent, how could he still not understand what it meant?
It was no wonder that he had repeatedly confirmed to him, as soon as he entered the door, the rules governing the collection of grain for each person and for each territory, and that he had answered his question clearly and without hesitation, saying that he had personally supervised it.
At this moment, the signatures of the dead appeared on the account book. What did this mean?
Zhu Yi Dou’s entire body was drenched in cold sweat, the cold sweat permeating all the poison that came with the disease, causing him to feel pain and itchiness.
This person was truly meticulous and insidious. After he lost his guard, he struck out with such a move.
It was also his own fault for wanting those victims to perish on their own accord that day, so he naturally wouldn’t let them count the names of those people who had died. Naturally, Master Liang had directly added the names of those people without knowing who had died.
Plus, the moment that Yan guy entered the door, he blocked his path of retreat. Now, even if he wanted to deny it, he might not necessarily be able to do so.
But even so, he could not admit that it was a fake account book, and neglecting one’s duty was still less of a crime than coveting common rations.
“Large… Lord, this … This must be because the people colluded with the people below to let the families of the dead take the food. ”
A sneer came out of Yan Yuan’s mouth, but there was no trace of a smile on his face, only a chilling expression.
“Didn’t the Lord Zhu tell me that when we were collecting food, you would be there personally watching over the scene, and no one would be able to escape your notice?”
He gently rubbed the cover of the account book as he looked at Zhu Yi Dou coldly, “It’s fine if one or two of them escaped from your eyes, but the names of these one hundred and thirty people are all on there. Did Lord Zhu want to tell me that you missed them all? “Do you think I’m an idiot?!”
In the end, he directly smashed the account book in his hand towards Zhu Yi Dou’s face, scaring Zhu Yi Dou and Liu’s so much that their faces turned white and they trembled in fear. As for Zhu Ling, he had long been standing at the side, too scared to make a sound.
He had already said that this person wasn’t simple, and in just a few breaths, he had already caught his father unprepared. He didn’t even have the ability to respond.
When Yan Yuan was not angry, he already made people afraid, and now that he was angry, his actions of throwing the account book at Zhu Yi Dou’s face made people even more terrified.
Zhu Yi Dou did not record down the names of the dead, so he naturally did not think that the messenger would do such a thing. Moreover, he had secretly sent people to watch this Yan guy for a few days, he did not see any of the guards who left his side to do anything else.
Zhu Yi Dou naturally did not expect that the messenger had an invisible secret guard by his side, so these things were naturally done by the secret guard beside him.
Zhu Yi Dou was obviously frightened, he was dazed for a long time before he managed to recover his strength, his body was still trembling fiercely, but he quickly tried to defend himself: “Master, please calm down, this was indeed my negligence, and did not supervise well, allowing those lowly commoners to make use of the loopholes, please take note of it, please.”
Right now, the most important thing was not whether this Yan fella actually believed him or not, but whether or not he had proof that he was a greedy emergency foodstuff.
As long as he had no evidence, even if he suspected him, there was nothing he could do about it.
Even the Kaiser cannot punish a subordinate without any evidence.
When he thought of this point, Zhu Yi Dou’s face finally relaxed a little, and his current reaction, was naturally all in Yan Yuan’s eyes.
How could he not understand what Zhu Yi Dou was thinking? It was merely that he had not found any evidence that Zhu Yi Dou was greedy.
Just then, Lu Yuan He came in with a servant, “Master.”
When Zhu Yi Dou saw that Lu Yuan He had arrived, his eyes immediately lit up. He knew that this was the imperial physician from the capital, and that his medical skills were high enough to cure even the commoners outside the city who were about to die from an epidemic disease.
