Lord Moyu was forced to open

Soon, Master Yuan Zhi was brought over.

This is an elegant middle-aged man with a mustache and a bookish look.

As soon as he arrived in the hall, Yuan Zhi bowed deeply to Guan Ning and said:

"Student Yuan Zhi, I have met the general!"

Guan Ning waved his hand and said: "Without courtesy, let me ask you! Are you the master of Donglin Mansion?"

Yuan Zhi nodded:

"Exactly the students."

Guan Ning also nodded:

"Okay, now your county magistrate says that you are behind the charge of field tax on two acres of land and ten acres of land, etc., and he doesn't know anything about it. Can you plead guilty?"

Hearing this, Yuan Zhi raised his head slightly and looked at Huang Dinglun, the jury on the side.

Huang Dinglun was slightly unnatural by his gaze, and subconsciously avoided his gaze, but then he thought that he was the county magistrate, and he was just a little master of his, so he immediately faced his gaze and pointed him viciously. He stared back with a warning.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhi sighed, then cupped his hands and said:

"This is not a student's crime, it is actually an act ordered by the county magistrate. General, please investigate clearly!"

"Oh, did Magistrate Huang ask you to do this?"

Guan Ning narrowed his eyes, took a deep look at Yuan Zhi, then turned to look at Huang Dinglun aside, and asked: "County Magistrate Huang, what is your explanation?"

Huang Dinglun became anxious at this time, stood up suddenly and shouted angrily at Yuan Zhi:

"Yuan Zhi, you'd better know what you're talking about! What do you mean by the county's instructions for you to act? What evidence do you have to prove that it was the county's instructions?"

Huang Dinglun was about to go crazy. In his opinion, it was a sure thing that Yuan Zhi would resist everything for him, but he did not expect that Yuan Zhi was so ignorant. Not only did he not resist everything, he also said It was his own instruction.

Yuan Zhi bowed slightly and said immediately: "Your Majesty, my student has long advised you to leave a line in your life so that we can meet each other in the future, and in your work you should leave a line in your work so that you don't get lost.

In the beginning, even if you asked the common people to bear five times more land taxes, the common people would still have enough to eat.

But starting from this year, you actually made the common people bear an extra tax of nearly fifty acres, which forced people to a dead end. Otherwise, what happened today would not have happened.

Students naturally have the evidence.

The county magistrate walked all the way to the dead end regardless of the future, but the students were unwilling to accompany the magistrate into the abyss.

Therefore, every time a field tax is collected, the actual field tax collected will be recorded on the document returned to the people.

In addition, the students clearly recorded how much money the county lord received from the wealthy families in the county, and how much their land taxes were allocated to each household. The students recorded these details clearly. There is a special account book that can prove this. everything. "

Hearing that there was a special account book, Guan Ning became interested and immediately asked: "Where is the account book?"

Yuan Zhi immediately replied: "It's on the students."

After saying that, Yuan Zhi immediately took out an account book without a cover from his arms and presented it respectfully.

Guan Ning opened it and saw, sure enough, it clearly recorded the details of where and how much money the county magistrate Huang Dinglun collected from whom on a certain day of a certain year, how much money he paid, and how much the land tax was distributed to those households. All the details were recorded. clearly.

It can be said that as long as you take this account book and check it, you will definitely check it accurately.

Immediately, Guan Ning closed the account book in his hand and looked at Huang Dinglun who was frightened and turned pale, and asked coldly: "Huang County Magistrate, do you have anything else to say now?"

Huang Dinglun sat on the chair for a long time, then he stood up like crazy and pointed at Yuan Zhidao:

"It's him! It's him! He did all this! It has nothing to do with the county. It was all done by him. This account book was forged just to slander the county! None of this has anything to do with the county! It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter. !Ha ha ha ha……"

Underneath, Yuan Zhi looked at his eyes, nose and heart without moving. In the hall, Guan Ning watched Huang Dinglun going crazy but remained motionless.

After going crazy for a while, Huang Dinglun sat back dejectedly and said with a gloomy face:

"This county is wrong..."

……

On the same day, Huang Dinglun was executed by Guan Ning in front of the people of the county.

At the same time, following the account books, Guan Ning's family sent troops one by one to capture these wealthy families in the county and asked them to identify their fields.

And ask them to bring out the tax paperwork.

Of course they can't take it out.

Guan Ning immediately beheaded their family head in the name of tax evasion. The men within three generations of the family were sentenced to exile, while the women were gathered together to be sent to the Jiaofang Division.

At the same time, the fields that had been borne by the local people were directly distributed to the people who had to bear the tax, which immediately made the people of Donglin County cheer.

And Guan Ning dared to do all this, naturally because of Zhao Jun's instruction.

Otherwise, how would he dare to do this?

Immediately, when this incident was reported back to Nanyang Fucheng, it caused an uproar.

It can be said that what happened in Donglin County is not an isolated case in the entire Nanyang Prefecture.

Distributing one's own field tax to other mud-legged people and letting the mud-legged people pay is undoubtedly a safer method than hiding the fields, but unexpectedly they were all discovered suddenly.

Many people feel regretful, but it is already too late to recover.

After arriving in Donglin County, Guan Ning dispersed his people into groups and went to various counties to conduct inventory.

At the same time, with Donglin County as an example, local people began to report enthusiastically. With the reports of these people, all the people with ghosts had nowhere to hide.

In an instant, Guan Ning killed everyone in Nanyang County with heads rolling and blood flowing like rivers!

And as people reporting became a trend, once Guan Ning's action team arrived at the local area, the people who were usually as docile as sheep immediately rushed to the work team to report the law, regardless of the obstruction of the local government.

Later, it developed to the point that as long as the working group gave an order, the people did not need the soldiers in the working group to take action themselves, and the people spontaneously went to arrest the officials and wealthy families who bullied them and put them on trial in court.

With the Emperor behind them, these common people are much more confident now.

Those government officials didn't dare to stop him, for fear of being arrested by the people who were already on top.

Cases of land invasions immediately began to take place throughout Nanyang County.

All the officials, wealthy and gentry who used to be superior in the past were dragged into the court and criticized by the common people.

One crime after another was reported, and one murder case after another came to light.

Immediately afterwards, heads were rolling on the ground, and wealthy families were divided into fields!

In an instant, the entire Nanyang County's land inventory work entered a white-hot stage. From the inspection by people sent by the court to the stage where the people took the initiative to help with the inspection.

Who knows the local situation better than them? All the hidden land has been dug out, and every acre has been recorded.

The amount of land in Nanyang County registered with the imperial court increased rapidly.

When Zhao Jun got the preliminary data, he was shocked by the terrifying amount!
