Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 189
What the magistrate Hu said really shocked the doctor Yang Rong.

However, Yang Rong was not afraid, and even said angrily, "Hu Yang! I, Yang Rong, belong to an old family, a hereditary nobility, how can you, a shabby hukou from the Jin Kingdom, teach me a lesson? "

The county magistrate Hu was a native of Jin, a scholar of the state of Jin. When he entered Wu, he was appreciated by Qingji, so he was promoted to Yunyang County as the county magistrate.

But county magistrate Hu's background is not noble, at least to a certain extent, he can't compare to a local snake like Yang Rong!

However, when facing the menacing Yang Rong, the county magistrate Huyang was not afraid at all, and rebuked him rationally: "Yang Rong, you are an old family of the Wu Kingdom, so what about the senior officials?"

"This county is the county magistrate appointed by the king, and is the king of the county! This county represents the king!"

County magistrate Hu stared at him and said, "You are so violating the law and discipline, even if this county is not qualified to deal with you, you should be handed over to the king to make an example of you!"

"Bold!"

Yang Rong said angrily: "Hu Yang! You are slandering me! Do you have proof for accusing me of violating the law?"

"These verification documents are physical evidence. As for witnesses..."

Hu Yang glanced at Yang's face coldly.

Seeing this, Yang Rong finally felt some fear in his heart and was quite flustered.

Once Hu Yang brings these criminal evidences to Qingji, with Qingji's character, Yang Rong and his family will definitely be unable to bear it.

Even if it wasn't the end of the whole family being copied and beheaded, it was inevitable that the Yangrong family would be demoted to common people or serve as official slaves.

Thinking of this, Yang Rong couldn't help swallowing, forcibly stabilized his mind, and smiled calmly with Hu Yang: "Magistrate Hu, if you have something to say, talk about it."

"There is such a disparity between the amount of assets reported and the amount of assets verified. There may be a mistake. Perhaps it is due to the ineffectiveness of the subordinates and a momentary negligence!"

"Come on!"

Yang Rong waved his hand, and immediately a steward stepped forward, whispered a few words to Yang Rong, and then stepped back.

Yang Rong politely asked Hu Yang to sit down.

Not long after, a box was carried to Hu Yang.

Yang Rong went up and lifted the lid of the box, revealing that it was full of horseshoe gold inside, and the golden light was intoxicating...

"Doctor Zhong, what is this?"

"Hahahaha, County Magistrate Hu, this is five hundred gold, a mere gift, not a respect, please accept it with a smile!"

Yang Rong kept laughing.

This kind of pretentiousness and respectfulness really made Hu Yang laugh out loud!

"Doctor Zhong, are you bribing the county?"

"Magistrate Hu is just joking. How can it be called bribery to give gifts to each other among close friends? I really hit it off with Magistrate Hu at first sight. I hate seeing each other so late!"

Yang Rong smiled like a chrysanthemum, bowed and said: "As for the amount of assets, I wonder if you can hide it for County Magistrate Hu?"

Yangrong, this is Chiguoguo's bribery!
How can Hu Yang, who has always been upright and upright, be punished for corruption?

Seeing Hu Yang sneer, he stood up, bowed to Yang Rong and said: "Doctor Zhong, my duty is my duty, I'm sorry!"

"Farewell!"

After saying this, Hu Yang left on his own.

From the beginning to the end, Hu Yang never gave Yang Rong a good look!

For the horseshoe gold in the box, Hu Yang didn't even look at it!
"what!"

"Every man stands upright, deficiencies and schemes!"

After Hu Yang left, the furious Yang Rong couldn't help kicking the box, kicking all the gold in the box to the floor.

From Yang Rong's point of view, Hu Yang, a shabby man from the Jin Kingdom, a scholar of noble and concubine background, if he makes friends with him, he thinks highly of him!

Willing to give five hundred taels of gold as a hush money, that is because Yang Rong thinks highly of him, Hu Yang.

However, Yang Rong never expected that Hu Yang would be so ignorant of flattery!

"Lord, calm down."

The person in charge hurried forward to persuade him.

"If Hu Yang reports the documents to verify my assets to the king, the king will not let me go lightly. Now, what should I do?"

Yang Rong said worriedly.

If he had known this, he should have obeyed the advice of his eunuch Shen Xi, and obediently returned all the land, houses, and shops he had occupied to the original owners, and released all the illegally obtained slaves to their freedom!
Now, this is really a steal, a loss of rice, and a mess!

"My lord, for the current plan, why don't you just do one thing and keep doing the other..."

The steward made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Seeing this, Yang Rong was surprised, but also thought about it secretly.

"Is it wrong? After all, Hu Yang is the county magistrate handpicked by the king, and he is the magistrate of a county. If he suddenly dies suddenly, I think the king will investigate thoroughly to find out the perpetrator."

"Besides, if Hu Yang dies, the king will definitely appoint another county magistrate to take up the post, and then..."

The steward replied: "My lord, if Hu Yang dies, there will be a time limit. The lord can tamper with the amount of assets to be checked. If the new county magistrate re-checks, the lord may transfer all illegally obtained assets and property. Returning to the original owner, isn’t it possible to escape guilt?”

"good!"

Until now, Yang Rong is still taking chances.

……

Wuwang Palace, Zide Hall.

Qing Ji was sitting across from Dazai Ji Zha and Right Prime Minister Ji Ran to discuss state affairs.

First of all, let Qingji take a look at the amount of assets reported by the officials.

Although Qingji's edict is to check all the assets owned by the people of the country, including slaves, land, fiefs, houses, shops, and cattle, the focus is still on those old clans.

Therefore, several counties near Wudu, including Wudu, Hongshang, Tong, and Zhenzi, have basically verified the specific amount of assets.

Compared with the amount of assets reported and the amount of assets verified, the gap is not that big, because if the gap is too large, the person will definitely be overwhelmed.

"My doctor Qing of the Wu Kingdom, is he really so law-abiding?"

Qingji put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and smiled angrily.

Hearing this, Ji Zha and Ji Ran looked at each other and said, "Your Majesty should be able to imagine. Since Your Majesty promulgated the edict to verify the assets of the people in the country, everyone in the Wu Kingdom, Mr. Qing, is in danger."

"Some people returned all the houses, acres, and shops that they had occupied; some people talked about it and sent away illegally obtained slaves overnight;

"All in all, the current state of Wu is extremely lively. There are a large number of beggars in the streets and alleys. They are all slaves of Doctor Qing's family, and there are still some unowned lands, waiting for the government to merge!"

Upon hearing this, Qingji just laughed it off.

The power he gave to the ministers to report is just to let them fill in the gaps and avoid being punished by Qingji!
