Romance Chinese Network

Not Yang Tiantian!

While Fang Xing breathed a sigh of relief, he also had some reflections on his cold blood.

The first thing a person cares about must be his relatives, and the second is the people in his circle, and only then can he have the spare energy to love.

"A king must be fraternal. I'm just a commoner, so I can't be on the stage."

Fang Xing accompanied Mo Chou to eat, seeing how delicious her food was, he immediately felt in a good mood.

Mo Chou likes to drink that crucian carp soup. She raised her head, the corner of her mouth was stained by the soup, and said, "Master, take care of your family first before you can help the world at the same time!"

...

But when Fang woke up to the place where the incident happened, he couldn't suppress his anger anymore after seeing the little official lying in the field.

"The reason for the matter."

Yang Tiantian was accompanying him, and said angrily: "Uncle, Zhou Yi was ordered to survey the land in Wangdian Village, and the young one was there at the time. This land belongs to Juren Huang Lin's family. Most of the people in the village He was a tenant of his family. When we went into the village to ask questions, we were chased and beaten. After we escaped here, Zhou Yi fell down...he was crushed to death by a hoe."

Wu Zuo was examining the corpse. It was naked, and you could see several high swellings on the back and a bloodstain on the back of the head.

"Uncle, Zhou Yi likes science..."

Yang Tiantian added that some of the rabbits died and the foxes were sad.

Fang Xing said indifferently: "Don't make a distinction between public and private."

Yuan Jie, the magistrate of Shangyuan County, came over and said with grief and indignation: "Uncle Xinghe, this is a provocation! We must be severely punished, otherwise who will dare to do things in the future?"

Fang Xing nodded with a sullen face, regardless of public and private interests, he has already made a plan for that Huang Lin's future in his heart.

"Xing Hebo!"

Fang Xing turned around, saw Qu Sheng dismounting, and said, "Master Qu, Zhou Yi died because of your household affairs, what do you say?"

Qu Sheng cupped his hands and said solemnly: "It is his duty, his family will support him in the future!"

"Thank you Master Qu!"

Yuan Jie cupped his hands in thanks, Qu Sheng and Fang Xing looked at each other, then shook their heads slightly.

This is to get close to Qu Sheng, and at the same time establish an image of caring for his subordinates.

But everyone knows that the so-called household support is actually going to see them every year and festival, sending some condolences, and giving some money and food every month, and it lasts for a few years at most.

This is called people walking tea cool!

So everything depends on the pension, and if Yuan Jie doesn't fight for some money, food and pension from the Ministry of Households for Zhou Yi, this is a bit outside.

Wu Zuo felt that it was very boring, and after simply looking at the corpse, he came over and said: "Uncle, my lords, the deceased suffered serious injuries in three places on the back, and the fatal injury was in the back of the head."

"What is the murder weapon?"

"hoe."

Fang Xing smiled wryly, "Where is the murderer?"

"Escaped."

Yuan Jie said embarrassingly: "After receiving the report, the lower officials brought people here, but there are three people missing in the village, and the others don't know what to ask."

Qu Sheng said in a deep voice, "What about Huang Lin?"

Yuan Jie froze for a moment, then said, "I haven't asked any questions yet."

Qu Sheng scolded angrily: "If you ask a fart, you will be arrested immediately!"

After Yuan Jie left, Qu Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't want to offend anyone, so I'm probably going to take those who did it to pay for the crime. As for Huang Lin, if no one interferes, the most he can do is fine him. It's hateful!"

Fang Xing squinted at him, but felt a little ridiculous in his heart.

Treat the head for a headache, and treat the foot for a foot pain, this is the unspoken rule of Ming Dynasty.

According to this unspoken rule, this matter is indeed less sinful than Huang Lin, but Qu Sheng is actually challenging this unspoken rule.

And he didn't give any discounts, and he didn't wait for Fang Xing to make a decision.

"Zhou Yi's family is here."

...

Amidst howling, Huang Lin's family, who moved from the countryside to the city, watched Huang Lin being taken away.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Huang Lin was puzzled. He knew about Zhou Yi's death, but it had nothing to do with him!

"My lord, those people are not the students' domestic slaves!"

Not my house slave,

It has nothing to do with me when they commit crimes!

This logic is unquestionable today.

Wang Shuyue glanced at Fang Xing who was sitting on the side, and asked sinisterly, "Whose field does it belong to?"

One sentence woke Huang Lin up, and he said in a panic, "My lord, those fields were bought by the students, yes, they bought them."

Fang Xing sneered in his heart, this was clearly a contribution, it was just a fake!

Because the delivery of land requires formalities, that is, a contract, which can be clearly seen after a search, so it is easiest to pretend to buy and sell.

Wang Shuyue said coldly: "Huang Lin, before you were elected, your family's land was only more than 60 mu, but now it has more than 500 mu. I ask you, where did you get the money to buy it?"

Huang Lin said calmly: "My lord, after the student won the exam, many gentry of the same age and locals gave a lot of gifts, the student wanted to refuse...but they..."

Wang Shu slapped the table angrily, but Fang Xing asked, "Who gave so much money and land?"

Huang Lin glanced at Fang Xing, but didn't recognize him, so he said, "Many, students have a lot of friends."

Fang Xing said lightly: "Give him a pen and paper and let him record it."

Immediately someone brought a pen and paper, Huang Lin said in astonishment: "My lord, dealing with people...isn't that good."

These words remind Fang Xing: This is an unspoken rule, everyone does it like this, are you trying to offend everyone?

Fang Xing smiled slightly, and just when Huang Lin thought he was timid, he said, "If you don't want to be tortured, write it immediately."

Huang Lin blinked and looked at Wang Shuyue, thinking that you are the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment! Do you still want to listen to an outsider?

Wang Shuyue slapped the table and shouted, "Write!"

Huang Lin shivered, and then wanted to find a table, the yamen servant next to him pointed to the ground and said, "Write on your stomach!"

I'm used to you!

No worship, no labor, no money and food, even if you don’t pass the Jinshi exam, you will be a gentry after you can, and it is extremely honorable in the local area. After taking office, most local officials will call or visit.

And when you have any suggestions or something, just send a post.

The superiority of scholars was fully demonstrated in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and they were simply the chosen people.

But in front of Wang Shuyue, the so-called Juren didn't dare to make mistakes, so Huang Lin could only lay down on the ground, and then slowly wrote the name of the person.

"Write down all the gifts, Ben Bo wants to see how extravagant these people are!"

count? Huang Lin's body trembled instantly, he thought of Fang Xing.

So he raised his head and said, "But some people and gifts have been forgotten by the students."

Fang Xing pointed to the yamen servants beside him and said, "Can that board help you remember?"

Those yamen servants also made fun of it, and immediately stomped their feet, with amazing power.

Huang Lin's face turned pale, and he said with a forced smile: "Students, write now, write now!"

Fang Xing turned his head and said to Wang Shuyue: "Lord Wang, this case is very meaningful and can set a benchmark for similar cases in the future."

Wang Shuyue nodded and said: "Both the north and the south move slowly, and it's not easy to move suddenly. It's just that there are some headaches in the local area."

These words were cryptic, pointing directly at the Beiping household department, namely Xia Yuanji. Said that he did not dare to investigate and contribute on a large scale in the north, and all the pressure was put on the head of the Jinling household department.

Fang Xing looked at Huang Lin's writing, and said, "The culture and education in the north is not good, and I'm worried that it will hurt those people's desire to learn... When did the primary goal of studying become tax-free and labor-free? ridiculous!"

Wang Shuyue couldn't accept this. He knew he was taking a risk, but Zhu Zhanji was staring at Jinling. He couldn't back down. Sent away to quieter places.

The so-called wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and the same is true for official positions!

After a stick of incense, Wang Shuyue said coldly, "Have you finished writing?"

Where did Huang Lin finish writing? He kept procrastinating. There were only a few people on paper, and there was absolutely no way they could gather so many 'gifts'.

Seeing his appearance of scratching his head, Wang Shuyue sneered: "I don't have any memory at all, you are either an ungrateful person, or... you are lying!"

Huang Lin loosened his hand, and the brush fell on the paper. He raised his head, sweating profusely, and said, "My lord, the student really can't remember."

This is cheating!

Wang Shuyue was well aware of the subtleties of the donation, and he ordered: "I found the deed for his land purchase, and every seller went to ask how much money was taken, and where is the money!"

Fang Xing nodded secretly, feeling that Wang Shuyue's thinking was very clear, and he found the crux of the matter in no time.

Where is the money for selling your fields?

used? No problem, where is it used? Let's check it out.

"Liars are serious!"

Wang Shuyue knocked down the last nail on the coffin!
