    On the Banshanqiao Pier.

    A total of 800 bags of grain from the first ship were unloaded and spread flat on the ground, leaving only a few paths for people to pass.

    "This court is here to administer justice to the elders of your county." Lin Xunjian turned his head, looked at the squires with firm eyes and said, "In order to convince the public, please check it yourself."

    "As ordered." A group of Xu family gentry had already received the order, and they all stepped forward and showed off the long 'food spies' on their sleeves, obviously they were well prepared.

    The grain spy is like a hollow awl with two halves cut out of it. It can be easily inserted into the grain. When pulled out, the grain in the bag can be taken out from the inside out.  In this way, you can clearly see the quality of the grain in the bag and whether it is mixed with other things.

    This is a necessary inspection tool for landlords and wealthy people to prevent tenants from committing fraud when paying grain.

    Since it was not their own grain anyway, in order to save time, the gentry did not bother to open the mouth of the bag. They just held the grain spy and poked the grain bag, and more than once!

    With the popping sound, white rice spurted out from the breach and scattered all over the ground.

    The ground at the dock was already wet, and the rice as clean as jade spilled onto the ground, suddenly becoming filthy.

    But the gentry are still trampling on it at will, and continue to puff and puff, and I don¡¯t know how much food is wasted!

    "Oh, what a sin!" Uncle Mi, who had been controlled, shouted with a heart-piercing heart: "This is life-saving food for the elders in Kunshan, don't waste it!"

    As soon as this statement came out, it immediately aroused widespread resonance on the Banshan Bridge, and the citizens also started shouting.

    ¡°Be careful, this is what¡¯s going to go into our mouths!¡±

    "Xiao Bi Yangzi did seven twists and three, opened the sack and checked again! He wasted food and was struck by lightning!"

    ¡°Ah, you eggless little Chilao!¡± he yelled, scolding his mother.

    Lin Xunjian heard this harshly and shouted to the gentry: "Take care of some food!"

    "Hey" The gentry agreed, but their actions did not stop at all. Their reactionary faces were fully exposed.

    After beating Mr. Xu, Zhang Dawu and others and being paraded through the streets, these Xu clan gentry were afraid day and night, lest the iron fist of the county master's dictatorship would fall on them.

    Some people are so scared that they are ready to move.  It's just that they don't have enough level in the Xu family, and they can't leave at will like Manager Xu, Da Zhizi and others.

    I had no choice but to go to the countryside to escape the limelight.

    At this moment, Uncle Xu sent Lin Xun to support everyone, and the villagers still had to vent their emotions?

    What does it mean to poke a few bags of grain?  As long as we find that the sandbag has occupied Lier, we will still stab people!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Puff puff puff!

    In the time it took to make tea, all the eight hundred bags of grain were broken, and the gurgling white rice had already covered the ankles of the squires.  It flows along the bluestone slabs of the pier and into the river, like a white streamer.

    Countless small fish came together to peck at each other, and the water looked like a pot was boiling.

    There were also many children who jumped into the water, took gourds and gourds to catch the countless grains of rice flowing over them, scooped them up and stuffed them into cloth bags.

    The children were all so happy and had two full meals for free!

    Lin Xunjian couldn't laugh.

    Because the sack was full of rice, not a grain of sand.

    "Yuan Fang, what do you think?"

    "Sir, it seems that we are not on this ship."

    Lin Xun nodded, he was not panicking, he already had a plan in mind and everything was under control!

    Then he ordered in a muffled voice: "Get off the boat."

    "Master, there is no room to move." Inspector Zheng Qianzheng couldn't help but remind him.  "Let's check it on the boat."

    ¡° This way, at least it can be spread on the boat and less food will be wasted.

    After saying this, Zheng Qian felt a little strange. When did I ever cherish food?  Could it be that he was influenced by the big master?

    ¡°Actually, he thinks too much. It¡¯s just a matter of stance.  Wherever your butt sits, you will think about that side.

    "Okay." Lin Xunjian also felt that it would be a disgrace to his official reputation if he continued to ruin it, so he threw the gentry on board the ship for inspection.

    ??~~

    The boatmen lifted up the straw mat covering the grain boat and took off the linoleum underneath. Neatly stacked sacks appeared in front of everyone.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Was riddled with holes by the Xu clan gentry.

    As a result, the second boat was still full of white rice, and there was still no bag of sand.

    "Check the next ship!" Lin Xunjian was still confident.  After all, he had already calculated that half of the other party was real food  In this way, it is not surprising that the first two boats are filled with rice.

    The gentry got on the third boat, asked the boatmen to lift up the straw mats and linoleums, and continued to puff.

    "Sir, I have a strong feeling. This boat is at least half made of sand." Yuan Fang whispered while staring at the scene closely.

    Lin Xun gave him a blank look and thought, isn't this nonsense?

    There are five grain ships in total. If half of them are sand and half are rice, wouldn¡¯t they be at most two and a half ships of rice?

    Lin Xunzhi was not worried about this at all. What he was thinking about now was how to deliver an impromptu speech to the people next.

    Not only must he show that he is a god of information, but he must also focus the anger of the people on the magistrate Zhao.

    After all, if the trouble gets out of hand, it will add a flaw to his majestic image of being wise and powerful.

    While racking his brains to figure out how to use allusions, Lin Xunjian suddenly heard Yuan Fang let out a sigh as if he had seen a ghost.

    "Yuan Fang, what's wrong with you?" Lin Xunjian asked strangely.

    "Sir, sir." Yuan Fang stammered: "This boat is also full of food."

    "What?" Lin Xunjian couldn't help being surprised, and quickly looked at the third grain boat.

    The gentry all shook their heads at him. What the grain spies brought out was just rice. It was hard to tell lies with open eyes in front of everyone.

    "This is unreasonable" Lin Xunjian was stunned for a moment, then Fang suddenly slapped his forehead and said: "I have thought about it. Half the boat is sand and half is rice. It is troublesome to load it, and it is easy to reveal the secret when unloading it."

    As he spoke, he expressed his conclusion loudly: "So one day there are three boats of rice and two boats of sand, and the next day there are two boats of rice and three boats of sand. Aren't there the same amount of sand and rice?"

    Hearing this, Yuan Fang couldn't help but praise: "Your Excellency is truly a man of God!"

    "Hahaha, how can you hide this trick from this court?" Lin Xunjian laughed twice, pointed at the fourth ship with his halberd and said: "Then, an inference was drawn! The top of the grain ship was full of sand!  "

    "Get off the boat!" Yuan Fang ordered the gentry loudly.

    "Hold on, I want to test it myself!" Lin Xun shouted, lifted the hem of his official robe, and walked out of the rain shelter with steady steps.

    The scholar Han Chuang has been studying hard for twenty years. Isn¡¯t that what he wants is Qi Zhiping?

    Today is the moment of ¡®peace¡¯ that he, Lin Pingzhi, had fantasized about countless times when he was studying hard in his study!

    Under the gaze of millions of people, a sword pierced the mask of the demon and demon, and the truth was revealed to the world.

    In this way, you will die without regrets!

    Lin Xunjian, who shouldered the responsibility of morality and justice, took the "sharp sword" offered by a squire and walked slowly onto the fourth grain ship.

    All the rainproof mats on the boat were lifted, and eight hundred sinful sacks were exposed in front of him without any obstruction.

    "Look, this is what someone calls grain!" Lin Pingzhi warded off evil spirits with a sword, inserted the grain spy into the sack, and then pulled it out fiercely.

    Phew, the white rice sprayed all over his face.
