Chapter 91

After Yang Zhiyuan came back in the evening, Fanyin told him about Mrs. Chen's sudden visit to ask for a debt today, and she asked for 100 taels with a receipt.

"My daughter doesn't know whether you have written your name on those bills, so I didn't fight her hard. I have to ask you." Fanyin said, she was indeed not stubborn, but let Qingmiao take a broom to drive away. just go out...

Yang Zhiyuan snorted coldly, "The Chen family is really... more and more shameless!"

"I don't have any face at all, what else do I need?" Sanskrit curled his lips, "I have already asked Mama Zhao's son to help find out about the rented house. No matter what to do with the money, we have to move out first."

"Move? Move for what? I won't move! Not only will they not move, but they will beg me." Yang Zhiyuan was really annoyed, "I will deal with this matter myself, and you can live in peace of mind."

"I also think this courtyard is too dilapidated..."

Yang Zhiyuan was stunned by Sanskrit's words, and then he thought that it was indeed inconvenient to have more young crops and colorful clouds at home.

"Then move, the money from renting the house will be used by the father to find a way." Yang Zhiyuan's brows became more impatient, and Fanyin knew in his heart that his father's position of master book had also been firmly established, and the Chen family repeatedly, He provoked County Magistrate Fang again and again. If he indulged the Chen family again, it would be his fault.

Whether it was living at home or working in the county government, he had to do something about the Chen family.

The father and daughter didn't mention this matter, they chatted about the noodle shop after dinner.

At this time, Chen Yingzhi no longer had the usual self-pity and self-pity, and was viciously taking a small doll and pricking it with needles.

This is a villain that she spent a lot of money asking the witch to make, and there is Yang Huailiu's birthday in it.

She chose the time, sat in the right position, took a thin needle and stabbed it fiercely into the little doll, already hysterical and half-crazy.

Regardless of her and Mrs. Chen's objections, Master Chen resolutely betrothed her to Wang Lu, and she was already a person to be married.

But is this marriage related to her?That Wang Lu...was disgusting, even though he was injured, he was still molesting her maid.

How could she be willing to marry such a person?The father no longer regards her as a daughter, but as a bargaining chip in a deal. Who is to blame for all this?It's all the blame on that damned Yang Huailiu, if it wasn't for her, Mr. Yang wouldn't be so indifferent to her, it was that dead girl who ruined her great marriage!
The more stubborn Chen Yingzhi was, the faster she pierced her hands. If the witch hadn't warned her not to blow up the doll, she would have smashed the doll to pieces!

"Yang Huailiu, I'll stab you to death, I must make sure you die!"

Sanskrit sneezed, and carefully tucked in the corner of the quilt. This night, she slept very soundly.

In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Chen blocked the door again.

It's a pity that she was still one step late, because Yang Zhiyuan left very early today, and it was still Qingmiao's broom that received Mrs. Chen.

"Yang Huailiu, come out!"

Mrs. Chen yelled, "What did you tell your father yesterday? Are you still paying back the 100 taels of silver? If you dare not pay back, I'll go to the county government to file a complaint!"

"Go, no one is stopping you." Sanskrit came out of the house, her father had already said yesterday that the matter was left to him, and she didn't need to intervene, so she really didn't have the time to waste such words with her at the moment.

Anyway, she was holding a small hand warmer in her hand, and Madam Chen was freezing outside, so she didn't mind grinding her teeth with her.

"Aren't you afraid that your father's reputation will be damaged?" Mrs. Chen was short of breath. In fact, she was still a little trembling when she was asked to go to the county government to file a complaint.

Sanskrit sneered and said: "That's my father, not yours, you can control so much? If you want to go to the county government, you can go, that's what you said yesterday, and today you come and say, you don't feel tired , we are still tired."

"If you want to go, hurry up, at least you're occupying the territory of a good person here, and I still have to sweep the yard!" Qing Miao scolded and took a broom to hop around in the yard, but swept all the dust and stones towards Mrs. Chen.

After a few "wows", Mrs. Chen jumped up and down, completely annoyed, "I'm going to file a complaint now! I'm going now!"

"No more." Sanskrit waved at her, and Mrs. Chen went out in a rage.

Sanskrit gave Qing Miao a wink, and Qing Miao went to the gate to watch Mrs. Chen's whereabouts...

But Madam Chen originally wanted to go home, but when she turned around, she saw Qing Miao smiling at her with her arms akimbo, obviously mocking her for not daring to go to the county government office.

"I, I'm going to the county government right away!" Mrs. Chen's mind was filled with anger, and she had lost all reason.

Niu Ma persuaded from the side: "Madam, do you want to discuss it with the master?"

"Discuss, discuss everything with him, he has already sold me and my daughter for money!" Mrs. Chen became even more furious when Niu Ma mentioned Mr. Chen, "If I am not allowed to go to the county government to file a complaint, I will die here!"

"Go quickly, go to the county government office." Niu Ma ordered the porter to pick up the sedan chair, but she felt uneasy, and hurriedly sent someone to run back to the yard to tell Master Chen.

It's a pity that at this time, Mr. Chen is in the county office, one step ahead of Mrs. Chen.

But he didn't come to sue, but was arrested directly, because Mr. Chen was selling the restaurant real estate in Qingcheng County of Chen Jia, and he was going to take it to Qin County to invest money in the business, but he made a mistake when he sold it. .

Because the number of acres on the county government's yellow book does not match the amount he sold, this involves a tax issue.

Speaking of which, this matter has to be traced back to Wu Xiancheng, because the amount in the yellow book does not match. It was the two of them who took the filial piety of Master Chen every year and collected taxes according to the number of acres in the yellow book. Subtle corruption and bribery.

But Wu Xiancheng is recuperating at home now, and Yang Zhiyuan is in charge of all these matters. In fact, he didn't mean to manipulate the Chen family on purpose, but he heard Sanskrit talk about the Chen family's troubles last night, and in the morning he learned that Mr. Chen was selling So he took out the yellow book of the Chen family and took a look.

But after looking at it this way, the problem can be seen, and even if it is reported to the county magistrate.

Fang Qingyuan had long been displeased with the Chen family, and after marrying the Wang family in that poor county, they flaunted their power in Qingcheng County. Even the aunt who sold tofu at the gate of the yamen knew that the widowed daughter of the Chen family was going to marry the son of the county magistrate. Selling the house and land will leave Qingcheng County.

nausea!

Disgusting!

After Fang Qingyuan heard Yang Zhiyuan's report, he had to investigate and take care of this matter, both public and private, because the amount was huge!

There are only 60 mu of land in the yellow book for 24 mu of land. According to the tax law of Qi State, the annual tax for each mu of land is one bucket of rice, and two thousand mu of land is two thousand buckets, and ten buckets and one stone is a tax of two hundred stones. But a stone of rice is 36 taels, and tax silver needs to be paid [-] taels a year, but there are only [-] mu in the yellow book, that is, [-] buckets of rice, and only [-] taels need to be paid, so where does the other [-] taels of silver go?
36 taels a year, hundreds of taels in ten years, not to mention that the Chen family alone has so much tax money...

County magistrate Fang gasped, if he checked the number of acres in each house on the yellow book, there would be so many mistakes!
"Check! Be sure to check hard!" Fang Qingyuan slammed hard, although he complained that Yang Zhiyuan was troublesome at this time, but after reading the numbers he checked, he no longer complained.

Even if he enters Beijing, the number of acres and taxes on the yellow book are still hidden dangers. These are all things that happened during his tenure. Even if he leaves here to work in Beijing, he can still be found on his head.

Qingcheng County is a farming and rich town, and this is what Beijing and Central Capital look at differently. Since this is the case, it is better to be ruthless, and vigorously investigate all blind spots and loopholes in Qingcheng County. Can get a good reputation.

Yang Zhiyuan got the order, and when he even went to County Captain Zhang, after the two discussed it, the Chen family became the first target to be severely cracked down on, and the county government also sent out all the Sili Yamen servants to sweep across the surrounding areas of Qingcheng County. farming fields.

Mr. Chen knelt in the second hall of the county yamen and confessed tremblingly, his words were already exhausted, and he only hated himself for having made a wrong string and forgot that there were only [-] mu in the county yamen yellow book!He... What evil is he doing!
But Mr. Chen forgot what it means to fall in one day and ride for thousands of people.

As soon as the news that he was arrested by the county government came out, the chef in Mr. Chen’s restaurant took the lead in throwing away the kitchen knife and quitting. Claiming to be taken advantage of by Mr. Chen and even threatened.

As soon as the news came out, even the farmers who worked for him quit, saying that Mr. Chen would not give them food in the winter after harvesting the grain, and he just asked them to pretend to be poor farmers to get the subsidized grain given to the farmers by the county in exchange.

For a while, the excitement of the county government spread, and when Mrs. Chen arrived, she saw so many people surrounded by the county government, she didn't know what was going on.

Someone saw her, pointed at her and shouted: "This vicious woman is here, everyone demand debt from her!"

With a shout, Qi Shushu's eyes cast their gazes. If Mrs. Chen's face was not thick enough, she would almost be stared to death.

"What do you want money for? I'm here to sue!" Mrs. Chen yelled, but she was pushed and shoved by someone, "Sue? Are you ashamed to sue? We are also here to sue, pay back the money! "

Mrs. Chen was completely stunned by the sound of asking for money. These people were not as shy as Yang Zhiyuan's literati. Those who came forward to grab their hair, tear their clothes, and directly dig out their chests to get money bags. up.

Mrs. Chen completely understood what ravages are. When she regained her senses, her whole body was already worse than a beggar on the side of the road. Followed by seedlings.

Suddenly everyone stopped, Mrs. Chen raised her head in astonishment, and saw Yang Zhiyuan's extremely fair face.

"Yang Zhiyuan, pay back the money!" Mrs. Chen yelled sharply, but because she was too frightened, no one could understand what she yelled.

Yang Zhiyuan snorted coldly, and ordered the servants beside him: "Take it to the court, the county magistrate is still waiting."

"Yes."

The fire sticks of the yamen servants stabbed Mrs. Chen directly.

At this time, Chen Yingzhi heard the maid's report at home, and said in astonishment: "What did you say? You said Yang Huailiu was still happily chatting with the aunt at the door? Shouldn't she be sick? Shouldn't she be dead? Shouldn't she be Are you in so much pain? Liars, they are all liars!"
