Chapter 765: Investigate Clearly As Soon As Possible!
Zhang Tongpan raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said:
"Mr. Su, this matter involves too much. I'm afraid that if I tell you rashly, I might harm you!"
Su Ran yelled angrily, "What is this mess?"
"I am not a deaf-mute, please speak more clearly to me.
Zhang Tongpan was so frightened that he was trembling all over, with a sad face, and said helplessly:
"It's like this. In recent days, I received a secret report from Shangfeng, saying that... there were bandits in Nanling County..."
"Bandit?" Su Ran sneered.
"Are you saying that bandits robbed the grain depot and stole silver, but the grain was burned and disappeared?"
Zhang Tongpuan nodded and said, "That's exactly it.'
Su Ran suddenly asked, "I'm asking you, what is stored in the grain depot?"
"The grain stored in the grain depot is the food rations accumulated by our families in Nanling County for generations. It is the basis for their survival."
"If the grain depot is stolen and grain prices fall to the bottom, the people of Nanling County may no longer be able to survive."
“By then, there will be a mutiny in the entire Nanling County…………
"How dare you hide such a thing?"
Su Ran shouted coldly and said: "Do you know how many innocent souls and resentful spirits this will cause to haunt our Nanling County and harm the common people!?"
Zhang Tongpan lowered his head and said bitterly: "I know I was wrong, and I ask Mr. Su to forgive me!"
Su Ran warned, "That's all, I will spare you this time."
"Remember, you are not allowed to hide property secretly in the future, otherwise I will not tolerate it and will definitely punish you!"
"Yes, yes...I know..."
"You go down first!"
"Yes!" Zhang Tongpuan retreated.
After he left, Su Ran turned and looked to the side.
A middle-aged man was sitting on a stone pier by the wall with a sad face.
This person is none other than Liu Jikun, the prefect of Nanling County.
"Master Liu!" Su Ran bowed his hands and saluted.
"I've met Mr. Su!" Liu Jikun returned the greeting hurriedly.
Su Ran said calmly, "I heard that the granary was stolen, so I checked it myself."
"I hope Mr. Liu will cooperate and not embarrass me."
"I will obey your orders in all matters!"
Liu Jikun immediately said that he was frightened by Su Ran.
"Yeah!" Su Ran nodded and said, "Take Ben to have a look."
"This..." Liu Jikun hesitated:
"Mr. Su, the grain depot is the place that the county magistrate is responsible for taking care of. You...
Su Ran's face suddenly darkened, "Mr. Liu, are you doubting me?"
"No, no, no... How dare you not do it!"
Liu Jikun was startled and shook his head hurriedly: "I will take you there immediately."
……………Please give me flowers………………
"Then why don't you hurry up and lead the way!" Su Ran glared.
"Let's take..." Liu Jikun cautiously took Su Ran towards the granary.
After a while, the two came to a granary.
The door of the granary is closed, and there are two guards standing guard outside.
Seeing Su Ran and the others arriving, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted:
"See you, Lord Prefect!"

Liu Jikun waved his hand, "Get up, I have official business to see Mr. Li, please let me know."
"General, I obey!" One of the soldiers turned around and pushed open the granary door and walked in.
Su Ran asked doubtfully, "Mr. Liu, what are you doing in the granary at this time?"
"A large amount of grain has been lost in the granary, and I am worried that it will affect the operation of the granary."
"That's why I personally brought the adults to investigate."
Liu Jikun explained.
"Oh? Is the food missing?"
"Yes, I heard that thieves broke into the county government office last night and stole food and grass."
"In this case, of course I must investigate clearly as soon as possible to prevent the criminal from continuing to commit crimes."
"That's it." Su Ran nodded, expressing understanding, and said:
"In that case, why doesn't Mr. Liu send officials to investigate carefully?"
"You don't know what you're doing!"
