Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 160 Yan Song: He is a treacherous official surnamed He!Li Gan sees Qin Hui!
Under the leadership of Chen Xiucai, a group of people rushed back from Liujia Village to the gate of the county government.

At this time, it was about three or four quarters of Shen time, and it was the laziest time of the day.

But everyone still bought pens and paper on the spot, asked Chen Xiucai to write a pleading paper, and handed it to the county government.

People thought that if the pleadings were handed in today, at least they would have to wait until tomorrow to try the case.

Unexpectedly, before they had gone far, a small official ran out from the county government office and called out to everyone: "Stop!"

"Master Xianzun wants to try your case! Come back!"

Chen Xiucai and a group of people looked at each other in blank dismay, so quickly?So efficient?
Is this still a yamen?

"We don't want him to interrogate, we want strict interrogation!"

Perhaps because they knew that Yan Song was here, the people became more courageous. Someone in the crowd yelled, and the other people also clamored: "That's right! The magistrate is partial! We don't believe him!"

"That's right, let Xiang Xiang come, we only believe in Xiang Xiang..."

The noise at the door was very loud and spread to the main hall of the county government office.

Hu Zongxian, who was sitting in the front seat, smiled and looked down at Yan Song: "Mr. Yan, listen, justice is at ease!"

Although there was a faint smile on the corner of Yan Song's mouth, his expression was still upright, and he reprimanded Hu Zongxian: "You also have to be upright!"

"Listen to what the people think of you, and don't let them down in the future!"

"Yes! Prime Minister Yan!"

Hu Zongxian immediately looked serious, and reflected: "The next official will keep it in mind!"

Zheng Zhen was also sitting below, with a vigorous gray beard standing upright, but he waved his hand when he heard the words: "Yan Xiang, there is no need to be so harsh on the little magistrate Hu, in fact, it is not too difficult to be a magistrate on the three-acre land of Yuanwu. not easy."

"Little Huzhi County is a person who can do practical things. Yuanwu County is lucky to have him!"

Hu Zongxian was greatly surprised, and hurriedly cupped his hands to Zheng Chen: "It's thanks to Mr. Zheng's understanding of righteousness and support, otherwise I will definitely have no achievements..."

While several people were being polite to each other, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Zheng Chen smiled and said: "County Hu Zhi, Prime Minister Yan, you are here for interrogation, I will go to the back to rest for a while."

He is not an official, so it is naturally inappropriate here.

After Zheng Zhen left, the little official in soap clothes led Chen Xiucai and a group of people in from outside the hall.

Chen Xiucai was very nervous, he bowed down before he came in without seeing anyone clearly.

"Student Chen Cai, pay respects to Prime Minister Yan and old parents."

The people following him also knelt down to pay respects to Yan Song and Hu Zongxian.

Just now when they were outside, they heard from the little official that this time, Prime Minister Yan and the county lord were handling the case together, so they would definitely not be wronged.

"Get up, everyone get up and answer."

With a gentle smile on his face, Hu Zongxian hurriedly asked everyone to stand up, and it was not at all obvious that he had just heard the complaints from the people.

After asking everyone to get up, Hu Zongxian smiled again and said to Chen Xiucai: "Little Chen Xiucai, the country treats scholars preferentially. Why do you need to do this when you see me?"

Chen Cai secretly slandered, thinking, is it you that I kneel down?It's Yan Xiang!
But he still bowed and said: "The old parents are very kind, and the strict officials are clean and honest, they are worthy of the students' worship!"

He raised his head, facing Yan Song's gentle eyes with a smile, he felt his heart melt...

"Yan Xiang, you must make the decision for us!"

In the face of this kind elder, Chen Cai almost shed tears, and cried out in grievance: "The [-] mu of land in the student's family was bought by Mr. Liu for four dollars per mu. What is the difference between this and land grabbing?" !"

The people below also cried and shouted, talking about their tragic experiences.

Yan Song listened for a while before standing up from his seat.

Seeing this, Hu Zongxian picked up the gavel on the table and slapped it: "Everyone be quiet!"

Only then did the people gradually calm down, but a pair of bright or cloudy eyes looked at Yan Song full of expectation.

Yan Song shook his head and sighed softly: "Fellow folks, the imperial court wants to say sorry to you for this matter."

Chen Cai held his breath subconsciously. He didn't expect that such a big man as Yan Xiang would apologize to the grassroots!

With a bit of helplessness on Yan Song's face, he said, "This matter should have waited until today to release a notice to let everyone know about the damming and silting of the land. In this way, no one will sell the land."

The common people nodded one after another. If they had known about this, they would have refused to sell the land even if they were beaten to death.

Yan Song continued: "The magistrate of Hu County has kept this matter a lot of secrets, and just wanted to wait until today to let everyone know."

"Unexpectedly, there are cunning officials in the county government, colluding with insiders and outsiders, providing information to some people, letting them buy your land, and making huge profits!"

Hu Zongxian also stood up from behind the table in cooperation, and bowed to the people below: "Fellow folks, I, Hu Zongxian, am sorry for you!"

With guilt on his face, he blamed himself: "I'm guilty, I didn't protect such important news well, and was snooped by villains, that's why everyone's encounter today."

Chen Cai and the rest of the people were stunned again, they didn't expect the dignified county lord to apologize to them.

"Old parents..."

Chen Cai's lips were a little dry, and he was stunned for a moment before he said: "It's not the old parents' fault at all, it's all the bad things done by those petty officials! The officials are as clean as water, and the officials are as cunning as oil! The old parents were also deceived by them!"

Human nature is like this. Under such circumstances, the wronged people easily forgave the powerful Hu Zongxian who apologized to them, and then gnashed their teeth and pointed the finger at the small officials in the county government and Liu Yuanwai. One by one cursed here.

Yan Song only used a few words to stir up the people into the way he needed, and then said: "You can rest assured today, Huzhi County will definitely pronounce the sentence impartially, and give you justice!!"

"good."

Hu Zongxian was also upright, with a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows that were extraordinarily mighty: "You can't trust this official, can't you still trust Prime Minister Yan?"

"Trust it!"

Chen Cai took the lead and shouted: "If you can't even trust an upright official like Yan Xiang, then there really is no trustworthy official in the court!"

The common people also kept echoing: "Mr. Yan has been in our Yuanwu County for so long, don't we know about Mr. Yan?"

"Yan Xiang is the number one upright official in the world..."

The common people were excited and praised Yan Song's good name.

Yan Song nodded slightly, with a smile in his eyes, and walked to the side chair, but suddenly tripped under his feet and almost fell on the chair.

Hu Zongxian didn't notice this scene, he said to Chen Cai below: "I already know your grievances!"

He dipped his pen in green ink, wrote a ticket on the spot, and said to the fast-track yamen servant in the hall with a stern voice: "Go to Liujia Village, and arrest that lame Liu and Liu Shitang together!"

Although it was almost time to go down to the Yamen, the servants of the Yamen naturally did not dare to say anything at this time, otherwise it would be very bad if they were regarded as "cunning little officials who colluded with inside and outside" by the angry people.

Alas~ I have to work overtime again today...

A crowd of common people waited here, and the amiable Huzhi county government official sent benches, tea, and snacks to these wronged fathers and villagers for them to rest.

This surprised many people who were afraid of a place like the county government. How could they be treated so well when they came in to file a complaint?
Come try it later!
But the idiots who dared to try this later have experienced what is meant by the iron fist and iron rod of the official...

When the sky outside the hall was slightly dark, there was a burst of noise outside.

"Why arrest me! I haven't violated the law of the king? Is there any justice..."

All the people in the hall looked out together, and found that the servants were escorting a fat man with short stature, wearing a green brocade coat and a black melon hat, walking towards this side.

The fat man was howling, loudly resisting the atrocities of the servants.

The yamen servant in the back was pulling a lame man with an iron chain. The reason why the lame man lowered his head and did not scream like Mr. Liu was because there were still a few bright red palm marks on his face. Mouth was swollen.

"My lord, fortunately I did not disgrace my life, I have already brought the criminals Liu Liezi and Liu Shitang to me!"

The head of the fast class yamen servant, also known as the catcher and report, today all the procedures are extremely formal.

"Okay, promotion hall!" Hu Zongxian slapped the gavel, and the yamen servants pushed Liu Shitang into the hall.

"Huzhi County, what are you going to do!"

Liu Shitang was staggered back. He raised his head and looked at Hu Zongxian sternly: "I'm a scholar! I'm a good citizen! You can't treat scholars like this!"

Hu Zongxian sneered: "Liu Shitang, you have done a lot of evil in the past, and I am incompetent, so I can't do anything to you, but today, Prime Minister Yan is here, do you still want to continue messing around?"

"I……"

Liu Shitang also saw Yan Song who was sitting on the side, and unconsciously lost his momentum, but he still stuck his neck and shouted: "Mr. Yan, you old man must decide for the students!"

"The students have always been law-abiding. There was a flood in the village a while ago, and the students donated food to relieve the disaster... The students are wronged!"

Yan Song looked at the noisy fat man in front of him, and for some reason another figure of a little fat man appeared in his mind, feeling a little more bored for no reason...

Chen Cai looked at Yan Song, still a little uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Yan, don't listen to him!"

"Liu Laizi bought our land at a low price, he must have ordered it!"

"Don't spit blood!"

Liu Shitang turned his head and stared at him: "Young man, what evidence do you have, I will sue you for false accusation, believe it or not!"

"It's all in court, how dare you be arrogant?" Chen Cai didn't coddle him at all, and stared back at him!
Hu Zongxian has been paying attention to Yan Song's demeanor, and seeing his frown, he hastily said: "Liu Shitang! You cheated and bought these folks' land, and now according to the court notice, I want you to return all the land you bought. To the folks, the money paid will not be taken back!"

The people over there cheered and jumped for joy. They didn't expect not only to get the land back, but also to earn a fortune for nothing.

"Why!"

Liu Shitang subconsciously cried out, and when he came to his senses, he hurriedly shouted: "Master Hu County, you can't judge like this! I bought the land with real money, don't you want these unscrupulous people to rob me for nothing?" No money?"

"Why? Just rely on the notice issued by the county!"

Hu Zongxian seemed to have resentment against this person for a long time, and said sharply: "The government will not accept the sale of land deeds signed after August 25!"

"When the book is compiled in the future, the county will definitely not assign those fields to you!"

Hu Zongxian was full of confidence. The news leaked out on August 27 and 28. He was sure that Liu Shitang's land deed must have been bought after that!

Liu Shitang was naturally unconvinced, he straightened his neck and said, "Where did the imperial court come up with such a rule! There has never been a precedent!"

"Besides, today is the first day of September, and you only posted about August 25. I don't even know what the notice is about!"

"Those who don't know are innocent! You're deliberately stealing my money!"

Hu Zongxian had been waiting for him here for a long time, and he sneered when he heard the words: "You really have the guts! How dare you lie in court!"

Liu Shitang shrank his neck: "Huzhi County, everything I said is true!"

Hu Zongxian continued to trick him, and said sternly: "You said you didn't know the content of the notice, so why did you buy that useless scolding field for nothing?"

Liu Shitang already noticed that something was wrong, but naturally he couldn't take back what he said just now.

He bit the bullet and said, "Of course it's to help the village!"

"The county has just had a flood, and I think they are almost unable to survive. The folks in the village should naturally help them!"

"But who would have thought that these mud legs would not only be ungrateful, but would come to this court to bite me back!"

Liu Shitang glanced at them viciously, then turned his head and said to the above: "County Hu Zhi, you have to teach them a lesson!"

Chen Cai glared at him, and the other people were also very angry at this wicked person's behavior of complaining.

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"

Hu Zongxian sneered, and looked at Liu Shitang with dead eyes: "You kept saying that you didn't know the content of the notice, and it was to help the village."

"But why doesn't this official know the situation?"

With a wave of his hand, the yamen servants coaxed a wounded man in a prison uniform into the hall. Everyone was shocked by the tragic scene.

"Liu Shitang, let's see who this is! Do you recognize him!"

"I……"

Liu Shitang looked at the man's bloody face, his eyelids trembled: "Huzhi County, what do you mean?"

Hu Zongxian sneered and said: "Liu Shitang, whether you know him or not, he knows you anyway."

"Liu Qian! Tell me everything you have done, don't hide it!"

"Master Xianzun, I say, I say everything!"

The man named Liu Qian kowtowed repeatedly in horror, telling the whole story of the matter like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.

At this point, everyone knew that Liu Qian was a clerk in the county government. When he went to the signing room a few days ago, he accidentally saw the notice that had just been written.

Then he used this news to exchange 50 taels of silver from Yuanwai Liu from the same village...

"Blood spit! Blood spit!"

Liu Shitang glared at Liu Qian sternly and angrily: "You are from the Liu family village! You slander me so much, aren't you afraid that I will make you look good?"

Liu Qian shrank his neck subconsciously, looked up at Hu Zongxian again, trembling and dared not speak.

Yan Song frowned slightly, Hu Zongxian was even more furious, and slapped the gavel: "Bold and unreasonable! You dare to be presumptuous in the court!"

"Come here, present the physical evidence!"

After speaking, a government servant in soap came out from the back of the hall, holding a plate of five taels of silver ingots in his hand.

"With all the witnesses and material evidence, can you still be wronged?" Hu Zongxian looked at Liu Shitang coldly.

"you……"

Liu Shitang's face was gloomy, facing Hu Zongxian's combined punches, he had already noticed something was wrong.

So silky, so smooth!
It seemed that there had been a big pocket there, and he was the one who drilled it.

"Huzhi County, I am willing to give back their land!"

Liu Shitang hated it secretly, but the situation has changed now, it seems that he really can't deny it anymore.

Hu Zongxian sneered, do you think this is over?

If you don't punch your gutsy bastard today, you really think that the surname of this former Wu county is Liu!
"Retiring land is only one item. How will you settle the account of you yelling at the court and blinding Prime Minister Yan and the county!"

"I……"

Liu Shitang's momentum froze, and he whispered: "Huzhi County, you have to forgive others! Besides, I'm still a student, so you can't do anything to me..."

As he spoke, he turned his head to Yan Song again, crying, "Mr. Yan, the student is bewitched by a ghost, and the student already knows his mistake!"

"Students are willing to donate 300 taels of silver to help the imperial court repair embankments!"

When Yan Song heard that there was money, he hesitated for a moment, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a group of people in the hall eagerly looking at him, and suddenly his face straightened.

This Liu Shitang must be rampant in the village, very unpopular, and because of a fat man, Yan Song doesn't like all the fat people...

"Rampaging in the countryside, exploiting the common people, interfering with the justice of the county government, deceiving parents and officials..."

Yan Song shook his head lightly, counting Liu Shitang's crimes: "You are also a person who reads sage books, why are you so indiscriminate between right and wrong?"

"Student..." Liu Shitang looked dazed, and just about to continue his defense, Yan Song said calmly: "Since all the books have been read for nothing, then don't tarnish the way of a saint."

"Send it to this county to study politics, and get rid of your fame!"

"student……"

Liu Shitang's chubby face turned pale, his lips were trembling, and he screamed: "Mr. Yan! The students are wronged..."

"Shut up! You no longer have the right to call yourself a student!" Hu Zongxian sternly shouted.

As the saying goes: the magistrate who destroys the family, the sheriff who destroys the family.

From this jingle, we can know that the parents and officials of a place have the power to kill or kill the people under their rule.

Apart from his relatives, Liu Shitang's greatest reliance is his status as a scholar.

Now that the reputation of a scholar has been shattered, Hu Zongxian can round him up and flatten him at will. This is what he fears the most.

Thinking of the stumbling block he had given to Hu Zongxian and the rift between the two of them, Liu Shitang felt reassured when he bumped his head to death in the courtroom.

The people on the other side immediately cheered, shouting Lord Qingtian, the voice was like thunder, and even spread to the street outside the county government office!
With a chuckle on Yan Song's face, he lowered his hands: "It's not the truth, this is His Majesty's decision, and the truth is just following the rules."

The common people all agreed upon hearing the words, and said that His Majesty is naturally a sage, and his sageness is there, and sent a good official like Yan Xiang to our Yuanwu County...

Liu Shitang's case quickly spread throughout Yuanwu County, and it tended to spread to surrounding counties.

Seeing his fate, those big households who secretly bought land were frightened.

On the one hand, he hurriedly contacted his backer in the court, on the other hand, he quietly returned part of the land he bought, watching the attitudes of Yan Song and Hu Zongxian and the development of the situation, living in anxiety...

The next day, in the back hall of the former Wu County Government Office.

Hu Zongxian had already dealt with all matters, and came back to report to Yan Song.

"Yan Xiang, the people have already taken back the purchased land, and now they have all returned home."

"Well, good." Yan Song sipped the tea in his cup, expressionless.

In fact, he still feels sorry for the 300 taels of silver, but in some respects, you can only gain if you give up...

"Yan Xiang."

Hu Zongxian smiled and said: "Our folks in Yuanwu County all know about this, and there is also an old scholar in the troupe who heard about Yan Xiangju's suspicious case."

"He specially wrote a playbook called "Prime Minister Yan Zhizhi Eliminates Corrupt Officials", and specially handed it over to the subordinate officials, so please come and ask Prime Minister Yan to have a look."

"If there is nothing that needs to be changed, their troupe will start rehearsing right away, and try to sing back and forth in our counties in a few days."

Yan Song frowned, if he wants to get rid of an official, does he still need to get rid of it wisely?
Just listening to the name feels very unreliable.

But for the case that was settled yesterday evening, no matter how well-informed and well-informed this old scholar is, he must not have written the script so quickly. This should be Hu Zongxian's intention.

Since it's the idea of ​​this beloved general, it doesn't hurt to take a look...

Yan Song took the stack of playbooks brought by Hu Zongxian and began to look through them.

Looking at it, I was fascinated.

Hu Zongxian sat aside, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

In this playbook, a lot of artistic processing was done on yesterday's trial, and Liu Shitang's true nature was written as a bully landlord in Yurou Township. The people complained, but he had a big official in the capital as a backer, and everyone could only let him do evil. .

He also played down his role as the magistrate of Hu County, and processed him into a loyal magistrate, but with mediocre skills, he could only let Liu Shitang do evil.

In addition, Yan Xiang's subdivision has been greatly increased, and his image has been processed into a wise and brave official with a clean sleeve... No, it can't be called processing, it can only be called acting in his true colors.

The old scholar's writing style is not bad, and the plots he wrote are even more ups and downs and exciting.

The first part of the play describes how arrogant Liu Shitang is, how hated he is, how many people have been ruined by him, even the county magistrate can only rely on him.

Later, Prime Minister Yan, who was both wise and brave, came here as an imperial envoy. Some people went up to complain. Prime Minister Yan found out about this and began to investigate Liu Shitang.

From Liu Shitang's body, a series of conspiracies and tricks were involved, and there were many dark lines, pointing directly at another corrupt official who held great power in the capital.

Although there were many obstacles in the court, all officials opposed it one after another.

However, the prime minister still insisted on eliminating harm for the people. After a lot of hard work, he got rid of this bully Liu Shitang, and by the way uprooted that corrupt official in the capital...

Yan Song read to the end in one breath, didn't even drink his saliva in the middle, and after reading it, he was still a little bit unsatisfied.

"It's okay!"

Yan Song smiled and slapped the playbook on the table: "But there is still room for improvement."

Hu Zongxian's eyes lit up: "Mr. Yan, please advise me. I will listen attentively. I will tell that scholar to improve!"

"Ah."

Yan Song nodded, and began to make some minor revisions to the plot: "The reliance of Liu Shitang is an official surnamed He. This person has not been in the palace all the time, but came out with Prime Minister Yan to help the disaster."

"During the disaster relief, this minister surnamed He fought against Prime Minister Yan everywhere in order to protect Liu Shitang."

"Moreover, this thief has no conscience, embezzles the relief food funds, annexes the land, raises the price of food, harms the people, bullies men and women, steals and plunders, extorts money, levies and extorts money, colludes with enemy countries, forms parties for personal gain, seeks to usurp the throne, frame loyal and good people, deceive the Holy One, and harm the people of the country. ..."

Yan Song spoke in one breath for half an hour without any seriousness. Hu Zongxian nodded in agreement at first, but at the end he was dumbfounded and found that he couldn't remember the test points proposed by Yan Xiang at all.

Gudong~
Yan Song said that he was tired, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and glanced at Hu Zongxian: "Ruzhen, have you remembered everything the old man said just now?"

"Yan Xiang..." Hu Zongxian smiled wryly, not knowing how to reply.

"It's okay."

Yan Song waved his hand: "The old man will write to you later."

"Also, this man with the surname He is short in stature, has a round belly, is fat, has wicked eyebrows, is narrow-minded, and is very stingy. You must write this down."

"When it's time to sing an opera, we also need to find someone who looks similar to act."

Hu Zongxian was speechless, why don't you just call Mr. He's name?

He hastily responded with a smile, but then hesitated and said: "Mr. Yan, I have an irresponsible guess, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Yan Song frowned: "Ruzhen, between you and me, there is no need to have so many worries."

"Thank you Yanxiang!"

Hu Zongxian bowed immediately, and tentatively said: "If the playbook is really written like this, will our play in Nan'an...be unable to sing?"

"In this way, can the people on the South Bank still know the name of Prime Minister Yan?"

Yan Song was taken aback, it seemed to be the same reason.

With He Shen's narrow mind, even if it is a little speculation, he will definitely be thwarted by him in every possible way.

But what if he could tell that he was really alluding to him?

"How about...or be more tactful?"

Yan Song frowned: "This corrupt official doesn't need the surname He?"

"Strict and wise!"

Hu Zongxian just cupped his hands: "The next officials are all under strict orders."

"Um……"

Yan Song pondered for a moment, then said: "This person should change his surname to Wang and call him Wang Shen."

Hu Zongxian almost fainted, and He Shen's Shen was taken apart, isn't that Wang Shen?
How can you be tactful?

Yan Song thought it was good, nodded and said: "In the end, Prime Minister Yan only punished Liu Shitang, but he didn't bring down the big backer behind him, Wang Shen."

"How can a clean and honest official win against a treacherous official with many powerful followers?"

"Afterwards, this traitor is still harming the country and the people, harming the people, how about this?"

Hu Zongxian had no choice but to nod, ah yes yes yes.

Yan Song smiled and said: "In this way, the people watching the theater will definitely become more resentful towards Wang Shen."

"Okay, go and change the script!"

"Yes, Prime Minister Yan." Hu Zongxian still left with full of helplessness.

Now that he has decided to join Yan Xiang's camp, he can't be at the opposite end of the spectrum.

Although it is helpless to offend Mr. He, it seems that this is the only way to go...

The conscientious little fat man still doesn't know that a huge conspiracy is unfolding around him, and he is still devastated at this moment.

The reason is naturally Yan Song's operation.

The south bank was still under more thorough preparations, but the news of the damming on the north bank spread to the south bank, which caught them off guard.

The big households who just got the news ran down to buy fields one after another, taking advantage of the fact that the news was not exhausted, and He Shen urgently ordered the yamen everywhere to put up notices!
The big households who got the news were naturally unwilling, and ran to the Yamen to protest.

Jiyang County, the back hall of the county government.

All the squires came to meet the imperial envoy and the lord, and tried to persuade them.

"My lord, since ancient times, Mai Tian has never been allowed to say that!"

"That's right, my lord, the imperial court has nothing to do with the purchase of land by the common people, right?"

"The land we bought before has already been paid for, and now it is said that it doesn't count, so what should we do!"

"Let's make a fortune together! My lord, if the business in this place is done, it's not a huge profit..."

There are different opinions, but I just want to persuade He Shen to quickly cancel this restriction.

He Shen always kept a smile on these squires, and no matter what they said, he had a fixed template answer: "This is a decision made by His Majesty himself, and I have no right to change it."

"Yan Xiang also listened to His Majesty's instructions. This matter is the same on the south bank and the north bank. You might as well go to the north bank to try. If you can persuade Yan Xiang, I may let you buy land!"

No matter what the big players say, he always said the same thing.

The big households were helpless, and someone asked with a bitter face: "My lord, we won't let you buy land. How long will we be banned?"

"It can't be that you can't buy it for the rest of your life, can you?"

He Shen replied subconsciously: "This is His Majesty himself..."

It wasn't until halfway through that that I realized something was wrong, and hurriedly changed my words: "Of course not."

"After the government registers and compiles the book, you can buy it."

"And my lord..."

All the big households were overjoyed when they heard that he said something different, and they wanted to continue pestering.

But He Shen patted the back of his hands helplessly and said, "Everyone, please go back!"

"You can't make me resist the order, can you? That's a serious crime of beheading!"

After hearing the words, the big households stopped chanting, yes, they can't be forced to seek death, can they?

He Shen was afraid that they would lose hope and do something harmful to others, so he smiled and said, "But if His Majesty relaxes, this land can be bought."

"Haha, are you joking with the adults?"

"We are just grassroots, how can His Majesty change his mind?"

"Sigh~ Mr. He thinks too highly of us..."

The big households left with a haha, but only they know if they have any ideas...

A few days later, Dagan Imperial City, Ziwei Hall.

Li Qian was working diligently in the political affairs hall, and was approving memorials with two young secretaries, when the old eunuch suddenly walked in from the door.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Qin asks to see you."

"Qin Xiang?"

Li Gan put down his pen and rubbed his wrist: "Please come in!"

Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi left, and the old eunuch also went out to lead the way.

After a while, Qin Hui in a crimson robe walked in slowly from outside the hall.

"Qin Xiang, long time no see! Please give me your seat." Li Gan greeted with a smile.

There was a court meeting every three days, and memorials were discussed every three days. Qin Hui didn't know how long a long time meant to His Majesty the Emperor.

But he still followed the words and said with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty, I also miss Your Majesty very much."

"Qin Xiang has something to do in the palace today? Is there something wrong with the memorial again?"

Qin Hui hesitated for a moment, but still cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, today is not a memorial, I am here for a suspicious case in Yuanwu County, Xingyang County."

"Suspicious case?"

There was no fluctuation on Li Gan's face, but doubts arose in his heart.

Could it be... this guy is the lobbyist invited by the big family in Xingyang?
