Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 1014 Good things come from heaven

Under Wang Xiaolie's rule, there was a shortage of transportation envoys, pacification envoys, prison envoys, and tea and salt envoys. Dengzhou was like an ordinary state and county, and everything was decided by the magistrate. Yang Yuan did not go to Dengzhou as a person sent by the Political Affairs Hall to investigate the public sentiment, and first went to visit Deng Tan, the prefect.

When I came to the state government office, I handed over my name and waited quietly outside the door. After a while, a government servant came out and took Yang Yuan to a living room and asked him to wait here.

Yang Yuan stayed in the small living room for a long time and came late to Tan Cai.

As soon as he stepped into the small living room, Deng Tan cupped his hands and said, "Don't blame the angel for Deng's late arrival."

Yang Yuan hurriedly stood up and returned the courtesy without even daring to say a word. At the same time, he took out the documents of the Political Affairs Hall from his arms and handed them over with both hands.

Deng Tan read the document briefly, then put it away and said to Yang Yuan, "Please sit down."

Both parties took their seats. Deng Tan asked: "I wonder what the reason for the angel's coming here is?"

Yang Yuan said: "A few days ago, under the rule of Dengzhou, there was a dispute between Chen Yi, the uncle of former prime minister Fan Zongyin, and Zhang Yan, a local native. I wonder if Zhizhou knows about it?"

Deng Tan was silent for a moment, then quickly smiled and said: "There is such a thing. Their petition was submitted to the county government in Rang County. I don't know how it was decided."

Yang Yuan said: "Chen Yi is sentenced to be unreasonable and no longer sues. I know it all in Xiangyang, why doesn't the magistrate know about it?"

Deng Tan said: "Perhaps Fan Zongyin is well-known in Xiangyang, but his reputation is not well-known in Dengzhou. Why, what's wrong with the verdict of this case?"

Yang Yuan was silent for a while and then said: "Fan Zongyin is a former prime minister. I don't know whether a monk can look at a Buddha, so why did Chen Yi lose the case? If Chen Yi lost the case, Magistrate Fan must be unhappy, which is not a good thing for the court. "

Deng Tan laughed loudly after hearing this: "When the court hears a case, it is right to decide the matter based on reason and not consider what will happen next. The reason why Chen Yi lost the case was because he was unreasonable. It is natural to lose. Only when he can win the case without being unreasonable will he It caused a lot of discussion among the people.”

Yang Yuan's face changed several times after hearing this, and then he said: "I said that if Chen Yi loses the case, it may make Governor Fan unhappy and do great harm to the court!"

Deng Tan said: "Government matters are handled by our own ministers, and we, the prefects and county magistrates, are not allowed to comment. Chen Yi's lawsuit against Zhang Yan for invading property is unreasonable, and it is natural that he should lose! Secretary, the law on this matter is clear and cannot be argued!"

After hearing this, Yang Yuan stood up and said: "I came to Dengzhou to appease the people's sentiments according to the orders of the Political Affairs Hall, but the magistrate of the state refused to help me with such a trivial matter?"

Deng Tan said calmly: "Dengzhou is under the control of the Xuanfu Department, and Deng obeys the orders of the Xuanfu Department. The political affairs hall is beyond my control."

Yang Yuan said bitterly: "The Political Affairs Hall cannot control Dengzhou? I want to see how courageous Wang Xiaolie is to say that there are places in the world that the Political Affairs Hall cannot control!"

Deng Tan said: "If there is nothing else, Secretary Liang, please come back. Deng Zhoujuan's case cannot be reversed without special reasons."

Yang Yuan took a deep look at Deng Tan and left bitterly.

Looking at Yang Yuan's leaving figure, Deng Tan said: "Fan Zongyin is just a former prime minister. Why does the court need to do so much for him? They even sent a secretary to overturn the case for him. I don't know what to say!"

Fan Zongyin indeed had nothing worthy of the court, but he was a former prime minister. If you vote for Wang Xiaolie and his cronies, it will be enough to shock the world. Qin Hui had just assumed the position of prime minister and had to take precautions.

Yang Yuan left the government office and looked around blankly. Pedestrians walked in a hurry on the street, and two redbud trees grew beside the walls of the houses on the roadside. The sun was shining brightly, and it warmed people's bodies. Yang Yuan felt empty and lost.

Unexpectedly, Deng Tan actually said in person that Dengzhou belonged to the Xuanfu Division and that the Political Affairs Hall had no control over it. Is it possible to say this? Of course, everyone knows in their hearts that this is the case, but they cannot come out. Deng Tan said this, which means that Yang Yuan can no longer rely on the power of the government and can only rely on himself. After much deliberation, I could only go to Chen Yi.

After asking about the route, Yang Yuan came to He's house in Denggupu.

When He Yuanwai heard that an official was visiting, he hurried out to welcome him. He said, "Little old man, pay homage to the official!"

Yang Yuan said: "I am an envoy sent by the imperial court. I am here to see your father-in-law Chen Yuanwai. Please introduce him."

When He Yuanwai heard that he was sent by the imperial court, he immediately took a high look. He hurriedly led Yang Yuan to a nearby courtyard and called out Chen Yi.

Yang Yuan said: "Executive member Chen, can you please move and let me tell you what I want to say?"

Chen Yi looked at Mr. He, then at Yang Yuan, and nodded.

When they arrived at a side room, Yang Yuan said to Mr. He: "I have something to say with Mr. Chen, and I would like to ask Mr. He to step aside temporarily."

He Yuanwai muttered in his heart and left the side room. He said: "I don't know what confidential things to say, but I even kicked out the master's family!"

Shaking his head, he walked away step by step.

After the congratulators went out, Yang Yuancai said to Chen Yi: "Executive Chen, let me tell you the truth. When Qin Xianggong heard that Rang County sentenced you to sue Zhang Yan for infringing on your real estate, he was very unjust. He sent me to ask specifically. Who would have thought that Dengzhou Deng Zhizhou’s decision to bite him to death was not inappropriate and he will not change it. There is nothing I can do about it.”

Chen Yi frowned: "What should we do?"

The reason why Chen Yi sued Zhang Yan for land invasion was because he was instructed by Fan Zongyin. I have roughly heard of the things involved behind this case. I heard that Qin Xianggong of the imperial court was concerned, so I knew that the matter was not simple.

Yang Yuan said: "Let me put it bluntly. Dengzhou was under the control of Wang Xuanfu of Luoyang. Deng Zhizhou said that the result could not be changed, and the court had nothing to do. The only solution now is to provide Chen with some land in other places. This is not far from Qiande County. Since people have fled and all the land is available, where can Yuan Chen stay?"

Chen Yi didn't particularly want land. The whole thing was just Fan Zongyin's way of testing Wang Xiaolie's attitude. After listening to Yang Yuan's words, he couldn't help but ponder.

Seeing Chen Yi's hesitation, Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "What you and Zhang Yan are fighting for is only 500 acres of land. When you get to Qiande County, the court can give you 5,000 acres of land! Help you build a home and live and work in peace and contentment!" "

When Chen Yi heard that he had 5,000 acres of land in Qiande County, his eyes lit up. I got five thousand acres of land for free, how could such a good thing happen in the world?

But then I thought about it, I only fought for the land because of Fan Zongyin, and I'm afraid it would be bad for him if he didn't know, so he still hesitated.

Yang Yuan secretly scolded Chen Yi for being too shady, but said: "As long as Chen Yi comes to Qiande County, I will not only give you 5,000 acres of land, but also build a house for you. As long as Chen Yi comes to Qiande County, he can live in it directly." "

When Chen Yi heard this, he didn't hesitate anymore. He nodded repeatedly: "Is there such a good thing? I'll go, I'll go!"
