Chapter 329: The First Confrontation

Chapter 329: The First Confrontation

Two days later, Qiao Kui, Xue Guiren and several servant girls were released.

—— Lord Jin interrogated him again after returning from the Luo family, and these people suddenly changed their tone:

They said that the young grandmother died accidentally. When Si Yueying sent the decoction to the young mistress' room, she saw that the young mistress had already collapsed in a pool of blood.

Just when she was about to report to the uncle, Qiao Kui just came.

They heard that Qiao Kui was going to seize the Luo family's property, so they made a plan and blamed the death of the young lady on Qiao Kui who happened to come...

At this time, the case has also "come to light", and there is no reason for him to be detained.

So they played dozens of boards and put them back.

Lord Jin faintly felt some pressure coming from other aspects——

This year, the tax revenue has encountered a lot of resistance. More than a dozen commercial firms have defaulted on the payment at the same time. They refused to pay the tax on the grounds that their business is currently in a downturn and cannot be paid.

At the same time, the account books and several stewards in the yamen also began to lose their chains...

At this juncture, the higher authorities began to review his political achievements.

He has been here for almost two years, and he considers himself conscientious and dedicated to improving people's livelihood, and there are also preferential measures for merchants.

Why... These people suddenly sang against me? !

He faintly felt that this might have something to do with Xue Guiren.

I didn't expect the opponent's energy to reach this level, but I underestimated him before.

And ever since he was brought back to the yamen, on the surface he seemed panicked and cooperative.

In fact, it was like a cunning head, completely forming a camp with those maids and servants, making it impossible for him to attack.

The most clever thing about the opponent's method is that he didn't let people come to him directly to give him a gift to intercede or something, because that would directly show that he was guilty and he had a guilty conscience.

Instead, it was through other people's mouths, as if Xue Guiren was mentioned "inadvertently" in front of him: Oh, this person is not bad, he is humble and righteous, and has a manly demeanor... and so on.

And these people who "casually" mentioned Xue Guiren in front of him were precisely these big merchants and big landlords.

And now, these big merchants and big landlords are also taking the lead in not paying taxes. If you say that there is no relationship between them, you won't believe it!

The people on the peak look like they have been in the officialdom for a long time, and they look like they are old gods. In name, they are checking their political achievements, but they actually sit there, don't ask anything, just close their eyes and rest their minds.

In fact, Jin An had been a county magistrate in other places for a few years before, so he didn't know the twists and turns. He was waiting to make a confession for him and benefit him.

I thought to myself that I am fair and honest here, except for the extra money and food every month, I have no other gray income at all.

And sometimes I even use the money for construction... After all, if I want to help the villagers build bridges and pave roads, if the court doesn't allocate funds, I can only take it from his bag.

There is simply no extra money for filial piety.

The man put up the score for a long time, and saw that the other party was not "opened up" at all, and he didn't say anything if he didn't have money to make an offering.

After sitting there for a long time on the "cold" bench, he left with a cold snort.

Before leaving, he left a sentence: "Master Jin is really very capable. He didn't even pay attention to me and other officials sent by the court. Anyway, there is still one month before the deadline for tax collection. By the way, the court gave me The task of pioneering the wasteland you issued has not been completed, right? The imperial court attaches great importance to this, Lord Jin, you have to work harder."

Jin An felt very depressed as he sent off the inspector sent by Shangfeng.

Taxes will be collected sooner or later, because they are simply unreasonable.

But this matter of pioneering... It all depends on the willingness of others, no one is willing to take over this matter, and he can't force others to do something.

Oh, what a worry.

…………

Qingu looked at Xue Guiren's buttocks being opened up. After all, dozens of court battles are not a joke, and he felt secretly refreshed.

She was still thinking about how to bring down all these people without anyone noticing, but she didn't expect that Mr. Jin's move just gave her the opportunity to do it.

It is still her best - medicine.

It is good to have medical skills by your side. It can save people and earn money to earn merits, save lives and heal the wounded, and it can also get rid of disasters!

People from the Xue family, except for Xue Guiren's parents who stayed in the Luo family's yard, the others all went back.

Seeing her son being carried in, Mrs. Ma rushed over crying, but unfortunately her mouth is still not healed and she can't speak clearly.

Xue Changgen walked over still biting his long pipe that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, squinting his eyes to endure the smoke, and said in a low voice, "...how did you get beaten up like this? I'm going to sue him..."

In fact, he was just talking there with his hands behind his back.

Madam Ma saw her son become like this, immediately uttered a sharp cry, turned around, and rushed towards Qingu with teeth and claws.

Qingu's eyes were cold, and she said humanely "forget about the pain when the scar is healed", the wound on her mouth is not healed yet, and she wants to tear herself apart in front of so many people?

It's really hard to change my nature, I used to be domineering before, and I'm used to bullying my clients. Now relying on his own son to come back, his true nature is fully exposed.

Seeing this, the third son next to him was about to rush up to help the master block it, when Wei Chao next to him gave him a little pull.

The third son struggled for a while, and found that the opponent's grip on his hand was slightly heavier, and looked at Wei Chao and gave him a slight wink.

A strange feeling rose in Sanzi's mind, like...the scene where they controlled these people in the courtyard that day.

My heart inexplicably settled down.

At this moment, I saw Ma Shi, who was still crying beside his son's stretcher just now, for some reason, suddenly stood up, screaming from his throat, with his hands like claws, and then turned towards the young lady. Scratch away...

If she was caught by that crazy woman, her face would definitely be disfigured!

But for some reason, Ma Shi probably rushed too fast, his feet twisted, one foot stepped on the other, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden, and a dog gnawed at him.

Hearing a "pa——", for some reason, Mrs. Ma suddenly fell to the ground and fell firmly on the ground.

Xue Guiren was carried on a stretcher, lying on it, yelling and screaming all the way.

Unexpectedly, he had just entered the Luo family's courtyard, and the woman led someone to block him in the middle of the courtyard, so that no one could directly carry him to the room to rest, and then immediately called for a doctor or something.

She even tripped her own mother... Well, it seems that she is still some distance away from her mother, but, but it was also because she got angry with her mother, she was too excited, and she fell down because she couldn't walk steadily.

That's right, that's it. If this woman wasn't too cold and heartless, how could she make my mother so excited?

How can I let my mother fall?

So, it was the woman's fault.
