Chapter 186

Tang Chaoying looked at him as if he was looking at a monster: "The brother of a small county magistrate is so arrogant? My brother is so stupid, no wonder my brother can't pass the Jinshi exam."

Yang Long became angry from embarrassment, and shouted: "I will prevent you from leaving Guangyun County!"

Manager Tang frowned, and immediately a soldier ran over, tied up Yang Long, and stuffed a rag into his mouth.Yang Long's face flushed red, his cheeks trembled violently, he finally spat out the rag, and yelled at Mr. Tang again.

The soldier rubbed the cloth on the ground and stuffed it into Yang Long's mouth again, stuffing it deeper, Yang Long's face turned purple.The soldier tore the cloth out, and he couldn't even bother to curse, panting heavily.

Director Tang looked back at Lizheng and the others: "Talk about the situation."

An old man fell to his knees and cried, "Master Qingtian, he has taken ten acres of land from Caomin's family, but the tax still needs to be paid by Caomin's family." how much land.

Li Zheng was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground: "Your lord, you know, but the little ones don't know."

Director Tang chuckled: "They're all in the same village, you don't know?" Lizheng knocked his head to the ground, and his whole body was like sifting chaff.

This method of occupying land and keeping taxes is very cruel. They pay the taxes, they do the work, and the benefits belong to others. It is not easy to find out on the surface.

Naturally, Yang Long refused to admit it: "Master Qingtian knows clearly, the grassroots do their best, and they didn't occupy their fields at all!" He even brought on a crying voice, as if he had been wronged by the sky.

Director Tang ignored him, and only waited for the soldiers who were searching the yard to come out.

Soldiers came out carrying things one after another, and a soldier ran over holding a big box and said, "Master Tang, there are some house deeds and land deeds inside."

Tang Chaoying asked Yang Long: "How many acres of land does your family have?"

"Returning to my lord, Caomin's family was allotted [-] mu of land and bought [-] mu of land. It's just a little thin, and it's not as rich and powerful as Liu's, Shen's, Zhou's and Ye's families." A wave of other families.

"How do you explain your eight-acre homestead?"

Yang Long fell silent.

Tang Chaoying raised his hand and asked the poor families to speak up.Old man Yang bent his waist and wept uncontrollably: "Lord Qingtian, the Caomin's family originally had [-] mu of land, ten of which were sent by the Caomin to deliver grain, and [-] mu of land was forcibly transferred to the Yang family's name, saying it was for sale. I gave it to him, but Caomin only received three guanq, that price can’t even buy wasteland, then..." His words were interrupted by Yang Long: "Nonsense, I gave your family [-] guanq. "

"It's really only three pennies!" Old Man Yang cried.

Tang Chaoying laughed angrily, how dare he buy [-] mu of land for three pennies.

"How did he threaten your family?" Director Tang asked Old Man Yang.

"He said he was going to break the legs of Cao Min's family." Old man Yang said tremblingly.

"Your family has never told the outside world?"

"No, I didn't dare. His younger brother is the county magistrate, and there are many servants in his family. The grassroots dare not tell."

"Everyone praised County Magistrate Yang for being upright and caring for the people, and you didn't say anything different?"

"No, no, I dare not say."

Tang Chaoying looked at Lizheng: "Master Lizheng, did you know how much the deal was?"

Li pressed his head to the ground, not daring to make a sound.

The second family was a widow, the fields were occupied, and the man was forced to death. Fortunately, the mother-in-law was aggressive and scolded her at the slightest sign of trouble. She was not taken advantage of, but the mother-in-law died a while ago.That is to say, Mr. Tang and the others came early, otherwise she wouldn't be able to last for a few days.

The third family's land was also taken over, and the job of the shopkeeper of the eldest son of the Yang family was also disrupted.

Tang Chaoying asked Lizheng again: "Is this what your elder brother, the county magistrate, did?" Lizheng knelt on the ground and trembled.

"Take him directly to the county government office and put him in the prison for two days before trial," Tang Chaoying ordered.Yang Long laughed loudly: "The county magistrate is my younger brother, you took me to the county government office, did you pick me up to catch up with my younger brother?"

Tang Chaoying stared at the sky speechlessly.He turned around and left the courtyard gate, mounted his horse and galloped towards the county government office, leaving the soldiers busy there.

Yang Pei sat on the chair with a dead face, watching the people coming and going outside the window, and Wu Zhongsu's sentence was still ringing in his ears.

The door opened, and a soldier came in with a tray and said, "Master Yang, these are the concubine release documents, please sign your name and press your thumbprint."

Yang Pei looked up and saw that there were pens and ink, ink pads and a stack of paper on the tray. The soldier was very polite and called him Mr. Yang, but the voice of Mr. Yang was very ironic to his ears.

With a stern face, he signed the first piece of paper bitterly, then signed the second, third... and then threw the pen away.The soldier reminded him: "You still need to print your fingerprints." He reluctantly dipped the inkpad again, and pressed each fingerprint with resentment.

The soldier went out with the tray, and he followed.The soldiers didn't stop him, but when he walked out of the yard, he realized that it was even more painful for him to go out.

Wu Zhongsu walked towards him and looked at him fixedly.

"Why?" Why?

Wu Zhongsu smiled lightly: "At first, I wanted to make a difference, just dismiss you from office. Then I thought, why should I leave this money to you so that you can be free? Originally, you were enough to steal the house. Your good mother and brother But he did a lot of great things.”

In fact, it was originally decided to raid the house, but it was just to let them experience the feeling of panic, luck, and panic and despair.

Yang Pei is not an official in a different place, he is a native of Guangyun County, he can be a strong dragon and a local snake, but he is weaker than those decades of local snakes.

Yang Pei sneered, and said bitterly: "Copy it, anyway, most of it is the family property earned by the Liu family. It's better to give the Liu family a little blow, so that they don't think they are the best in the world."

Wu Zhongsu shook his head speechlessly, and said, "What's wrong with the Liu family? Have you earned so much wealth for your family and earned revenge?"

Yang Pei still resented: "Isn't it just that I have some money, a family of merchants, and I smell like money."

"Your family is very noble. Don't accept so many gifts from your old mother, don't take so much money, and don't take so much land from your brother. Your whole family has lost money, how dare you scold him?"

Yang Pei didn't say a word, panting heavily.

"We were kind enough to let those concubines go out, and let them take away some clothes and money to make ends meet. Of course, don't even think about buying a house or land." Wu Zhongsu said lightly.

Yang Pei sneered: "You and the Liu family work hand in hand. When the Liu family arrives, you arrive behind. Can you tell who gets more and who gets less? Aren't you afraid of ruining the Liu family's good deeds?"

Wu Zhongsu laughed: "The Liu family has no plans to move things out. The bed for the compensation for marriage will definitely not be taken away, it's disgusting; other ornaments and jewelry, aren't you selling them away? All of the Liu family's The dowry has been exchanged by you for the money of your Yang family, right? Liu Huaizhen just took the Liu family to look around, let the Liu family have a look, let her daughter have a look. They have already complained on the street now."

Yang Pei was so angry that he rushed forward and wanted to hit someone, but was kicked far away by Wu Zhongsu.

"Is it true that civil servants who come out on business are all weak?" Wu Zhongsu looked at him coldly.

Yang Pei refused: "The county magistrate of Shengping has committed a lot of crimes, why don't you go to him? Just bully me?"
