Chapter 505 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

Yuan Wenzhong was only good at paper work, and he insisted on having an explanation for the grain transfer order.

Ma Weimin tried to evade the issue by saying that the process was complicated and difficult to calibrate.
"Yuan Chenshi!"

"I, Old Ma, am not trying to avoid the main point or argue with you on purpose!"

"Guan Jian is in such a situation. It's hard for him to do his job!"

"Anyway, that's what it is!"

"You and this guy, Censor Liao, insist on checking the accounts, then you can look for it higher up!"

"If you insist on using these lists to make a point, then don't blame me, Old Ma, for not cooperating!"

"I need food, but I don't have any!"

"How much grain do you think my head is worth?"

"If you insist on telling me, I'll chop off your head!"

"I can't even fucking pass it!"

"It saves both ends from being caught in this dilemma!"

While Ma Weimin was sorting out his own relationship, Saffazi started to show his bad temper.

Yuan Wenzhong asked him to block his mouth, and he choked on the spot, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Liao Gengshen, who was standing by, saw the situation and was afraid of being blocked. He was afraid that this road would be difficult to pass, so he quickly changed his mind and tried to find another plan.

"Search upwards?!"

"Who do you want us to look for?!"

When he heard this word in Ma Weimin's speech, Liao Geng's side suddenly stepped forward to ask.

Upon hearing this, Ma Weimin was stunned, but he was not afraid.

"what?!"

"Well, check, check the accounts. Just find whoever is in charge!" He said with a look of disdain on his face.

Upon hearing this, Chairman Yuan Wenzhong noticed something and became interested.

“Well, this is exactly.”

But, before Yuan Qianshi could finish his words, Ma Weimin spoke up in a mocking tone.

"Hey! This is our boss!"

"The Jiangnan Grain Supervisor, fourth rank, Liang Xueheng!"

"He is in Nanjing right now. You see, it is so convenient for you to summon him for investigation. You can get the job done without leaving the capital!"

"Why bother to come all the way to Jiangning for this?"

"It's not worth it, eh?"

"Look at this."

Ma Weimin is an old hand, and he is playing tricks on the old scholar Yuan Wenzhong and the newly promoted censor Liao Gengshen. He just opens his mouth and stretches out his hand to get what he wants!

Hearing this, Liao Gengshen felt that he was being teased again.

Snapped!
The man shook the table again.

"Ma is for the people!"

"You bastard!"

"Liang Xueheng is now over 90 years old and has been bedridden for many years. His position as the Governor of Grain in Jiangnan is just a title!"

"In recent years, I'm afraid he has never even entered the door of your Jiangning Grain Administration Office!"

"Now you're putting the blame on him and asking us to go and collect the debt from him?!"

"That's unreasonable!"

"We followed you to the Third Hall out of consideration for our comradery. You will be interrogated in the inner hall!"

"But you keep denying and resisting the audit!"

"If you are really so stubborn, then don't blame me for reporting this to His Majesty and let His Majesty decide!"

Liao Geng moved his true energy and spoke of the emperor's will with a truly ruthless look, as if he was determined to fight to the death.

Upon hearing this, Ma Weimin was shocked, and the slight pride on his face now wilted.

If this matter was really reported to the palace, then no matter what, it would be my life, and I would really deserve to die! In order to protect himself, Ma Weimin risked everything, and turned his head in the court, staring at Lin Zhiwan meaningfully.

Seeing the situation, Liao Gengshen seized the opportunity and chased after Yan.

"What do you mean, why are you looking at him?!"

On the other hand, on the right, Doctor Lin saw Liao Geng risking his life so hard that his throat rolled over and he even shrank his neck and could not speak to defend himself.

Ma Weimin watched this show and felt a chill in his heart, gritting his teeth in anger.

I thought to myself, it's so hard to work with this bunch of bastards. No one can be trusted at the critical moment!

"Ah!"

"Why are you looking at him?!"

"Lin Zhiwan, Doctor Lin!"

"He represents the Ministry of Revenue!"

"I am an official in charge of grain, so it is their Ministry of Revenue that should be in charge!"

"Imperial Censor Liao, didn't you say Liang Xueheng is useless?"

"Okay, then I'll pick up a few more useful ones for you."

"I am a peasant, working on the ground like a farmer."

"If you insist on collecting the debt, then what if it really involves the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and the four towns in northern Jiangnan, the big families and the officials and gentry?"

"Haha, Censor Liao, you still have the power to manage it? Do you think you can handle it?!"

While Ma Weimin was saying all this, his eyes never left Lin Zhiwan.

What he said was quite threatening.

Hearing this, Liao Geng was very happy about it, and his eyes suddenly lit up!
"Ma Weimin, as long as you are willing to cooperate!"

"You tell me who to arrest, and I, Liao Gengshen, won't hesitate!"

Censor Liao's words, while taking a step forward to force Lao Ma to submit, also showed his alertness, as if he wanted to avoid getting hurt at all!

Upon hearing this, Ma Weimin sighed in his heart, feeling somewhat disappointed. As expected, all those people in the class were birds of a feather!
"Ah!"

"Great Censor Liao, is our Old Ma's words so effective?"

"Since when is it my turn as a prisoner to give you orders? Huh?!"

While he was making these teasing remarks, Ma Weimin suddenly swung the shackles on his wrists.

"Look, we are still in chains!"

"I say, is your Inspectorate capable of anything?" Ma Weimin retorted.

"Ma is for the people!"

"The inspection team was personally ordered by His Majesty, and we can all submit any case details to the palace!"

"If you really have something to say, this is a rare opportunity to speak up at this critical moment!"

"I hope you can tell me everything you can!"

Seeing this situation, Liao Geng felt that he had no choice but to get involved, so he hurriedly changed the subject. All this was just to get Ma Weimin to speak up, so that he could have an explanation to his superiors!

But it is precisely at this juncture!
Lin Zhiwan from the Ministry of Revenue is listed on the right. Seeing that the situation has taken a turn for the worse, if he doesn't say anything, it will no longer be a wise move to protect himself!
If things went wrong, I might get involved too, so I interrupted at the critical moment.

"Cough cough!"

"Oh, Censor Liao!"

"It is true that the inspection team is an imperial commission, but punishing corruption and maintaining integrity must not hinder the new dynasty's plan to consolidate the foundation of Jiangnan. This is clearly stated in the imperial edict!"

"Just try the case, don't keep using it as an excuse to make a fuss!"

"You want to take advantage of Ma Weimin's misfortune to kill someone with a borrowed knife and mess with us. This, haha, is too obvious!"

"Be careful. If you are too radical, there will be no good results!"

"Imperial Censor Liao, I advise you to think twice before you act!"

Lin Zhiwan finally spoke, and his words almost made it clear that the imperial envoys who were responsible for punishing corruption and clean government, the inspection teams, and the Inspectorate were at the forefront. In the end, under the current situation, everything had to be based on maintaining stability, which was the core interest of the court.

This revelation seems to be an ultimatum to Ma Weimin.

The meaning is clear, telling him to shut his stinky mouth and stop yelling and talking nonsense.

When the time comes, they will not be able to move the stone, but will be crushed by the mountain, their souls will fly away and their spirits will be scattered.
