The girl is not good in this life

Chapter 364 You Did It Well

If it is according to Wei Zhichao's statement, then this matter has to be looked at elsewhere.

Zhao Xing thought about it carefully: "Have you read the deed of the land protection carefully?"

Wei Zhichao nodded hastily: "Your official, how dare you not examine it carefully. In fact, there have been similar things in the past—because of the things about keeping the land rent in various villages and towns, it is true that some people will move their minds and think about it. The idea of ​​playing those lands from here.

He deceived the top and the bottom, crossed the sky and sea, made some fake contracts, fooled the common people into not understanding, tricked them to sign and pledge, and when the time came, they took their land away.

Xiaguan still remembers that when he first took office, he went to look through the files and files of Kuaiji County in the past.

About 15 years ago, that is, two years before the next official took office, such a thing happened in Gaoliang Village.

However, after verification at that time, the deed was forged, and it cannot be counted. It was because the villagers in Gaoliang Village did not understand it, and it was only a few years of miserable life.

If it weren't for a teacher who passed by Gaoliang Village and saw that the people in the village couldn't even eat, they had to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, live on that wrapper, asked the villagers about the situation, and then took the lead to report to the government office Come here.

It was recorded in the file that it was said that the teacher was willing to bear it all.

He rang the grievance drum outside the government office, and his words were also very euphemistic.

He didn't know if there was any problem with the contract signed by the villagers of Gaoliang Village and the local guarantee, but he had encountered similar situations in Waifu before, so he was willing to take the risk of going to the government office to file a complaint, hoping that the previous sheriff would investigate the matter.

If the deed was genuine, signed by the villagers of Gaoliang Village and the land guarantor, then he would be responsible for any crimes.

But if it is said that the deed in the hands of the Dibao is forged and cannot be counted, then the government should give justice to the villagers of Gaoliang Village. "

According to what Wei Zhichao said, the case back then was that the land security forged the contract.

The final result must be that the land was returned to the villagers, and life went on as usual. The dibao of Gaoliang Village was thrown into prison. According to the Daye Law, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison, and all his family property was distributed to the villagers of Gaoliang Village. .

"So what's going on with those contracts?"

Jiang Yuanzhan raised his hand to press his eyelids, and asked Wei Zhichao with a calm face.

Wei Zhichao took a deep breath: "The lower official later questioned him carefully, and the dibao said that he lent money to the villagers.

The harvest was not very good that year. He had money in hand, and every household in the village paid him on credit for the grain that was supposed to be handed over.

But these grains have to be handed over to the government, and each village and town has a fixed amount.

In years with bad harvests, the government's quota will be less.

But the villagers in Xiaohezi Village were unwilling to pay.

After all, the harvest is not good, so I always want to leave some more to wrap my belly, and I can exchange for more money.

Although this is understandable, the rules of the court are there.

Later they came up with this method and told the landowner that they could sign the contract. "

Zhao Xing probably understood.

"It means that they didn't pay the government that year, but these grains were bought from outside with the money paid by the dibao themselves, and they made up for the amount due to Xiaohezi Village, and they were handed over to the government office?"

Zhao Xing frowned, tasted the words in detail, and after asking such a question, he continued two sentences: "The content of those deeds is about setting a time for the villagers to return the grain. , or return the silver.

Anyway, the amount of grain to be handed in by each household is the same. How much money the landowners have bought and handed in from the outside is distributed to each household. After dividing it equally, how much each family should pay back is also a fixed amount. .

If they fail to return the grain or silver when the time comes, will their land be taken away? "

Wei Zhichao kept saying yes: "That's exactly it! Although it's unreasonable. After all, the villagers only owed a part of the silver, so it doesn't make sense to hand over all the land to the land security to pay off the debt.

But this contract was signed by them themselves willingly. What everyone said was good at the beginning, it is not necessarily that they will regret it now.

Therefore, even if it is not so reasonable, the government can't control it.

This is not considered to be strong buying and selling, let alone coercion and temptation.

It can only be said that the villagers of Xiaohezi Village wanted it themselves, and the government really can't control it. "

When he said this, he couldn't help sighing again: "My lord, you can go back and investigate all of this. When they came to sue the officials, the officials accepted it, and they were promoted to question the case. Into a dossier file.

There is also the dibao of Xiaohezi Village, who lives in the city now, and he still keeps those deeds.

The lord just goes to investigate, if half of what the subordinate officials say is not true, I would rather be punished, and I will do whatever you want to do with the lord. "

Everything in this world happens for a reason.

If what Wei Zhichao said is true, then the villagers of Xiaohezi Village are indeed the ones who did it themselves.

The matter was done by themselves, and they went to court several times.

Wei Zhichao was not punished as a mob crime, he was indeed merciful, and he was already very pitiful for those poor people.

Otherwise, just like their way of making trouble...

But Wei Zhichao said all this too easily.

It's easy, everything has traces to follow, and all the evidence can only show that he is innocent.

Whether it was the Xiaohezi Village case or the Kuaiji fraud case, most of them had nothing to do with him.

is it possible?

Zhao Xing's eyebrows stretched out: "My lord Wei believes what I said, so I don't need to investigate anything.

After all, the imperial envoy is here exclusively. If Mr. Wei still deceives you, it will only do you no good. There is really no need for that. "

He was not so relieved about Wei Zhichao.

It is indeed too difficult to have a completely clean person in this world.

Including himself.

Especially when it comes to the court and officialdom, it's not like that.

There was something in Zhao's jargon, but Wei Zhichao just pretended not to understand it.

He wiped off the cold sweat from his temples: "Yes, yes, what the lord said is very true. It is already the greatest blessing for the lord to trust me."

"However—" Zhao Xing prolonged the ending, pointed at the handrail, and called Wei Zhichao again, "Now that there is such a big disaster in Kuaiji, since you know that the villagers of Xiaohezi Village have no land for farming , and had conflicts with the government office, they should know that the common people are afraid of the government. Go to Xiaohezi Village.

Lord Wei, this king is passing through Xiaohezi Village, and the people in the village are about to freeze and starve to death!
Those are the people under your rule, especially the people of my Daye, Mr. Wei, the sheriff, has done a very good job! "
