Chapter 886 Who Pays for My Child
All the people looked at each other in blank dismay, one pointed at the other and said, "I listened to what he said!"

The person who was accused turned pale with fright, and said angrily: "Fart! I didn't say anything! We all listened to what Li Si said!"

The crowd began to accuse each other, anyway, it was all word of mouth and hearsay.

The woman holding the boy's body pointed to the man in blue who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and said, "I heard what he said!"

The man in blue trembled in fright, his eyes showed horror, "I, I also heard what others said!"

Mo Wen showed a bloodthirsty smile, and walked towards him slowly, "Who did you listen to?"

"Don't kill me, I say! I say!" The blue-clothed man's expression froze, a large puddle of water spilled out from under his body, and a smell of urine came from him.

This is scary!
Mo Wen deftly turned the dagger in his hand a few times, his eyes filled with murderous intent, "Say!"

The man in blue trembled in fright, and another bad smell came out, "I heard from the witch in the town, Mrs. Wang! She gave us 20 taels of silver to spread the word and lead people to Come here!"

Many people also remembered, "That's right, the person who told me also said that she heard what Witch Wang said!"

"Sorceress Wang is effective, what she said must be true!"

"Yes, Goddess Wang is very effective in fortune-telling!"

Some people also doubted, "Why does Goddess Wang give people money and spread the word? 20 taels of silver, we can't save this money in ten years."

Mo Wen asked, "Where does Goddess Wang live?"

Someone reported Mistress Wang's residence, and the hidden guards had already gone to arrest her.

Now the people are starting to whisper, they believe in the supernatural powers of Witch Wang, but if they spend money to spread the word, then there is a problem.

Taking advantage of this time, Mo Wen walked up to the two sufferers whose children had died, and asked, "Who gave you the idea to make trouble here?"

One pointed to the person who was trampled to death by Mo Wen on the ground, and the other pointed to the person who was scared to pee.

The person who was scared to pee shrank back in fright, "Witch Wang asked us to do it! Don't care about our business!"

Mo Wen asked coldly, "Are you just inciting the common people? Did you kill these two children?"

The eyes of the people were fixed on the man in blue like a knife. If he said yes like that, they would eat him alive.

The man in blue waved his hands in fright, "No, we dare not do murder!"

"The capital crime of murder, how can you admit it so easily?" Mo Wen said, loosening the dagger in his hand.

With a "ding", the dagger fell to the ground.

"Ah!" The man screamed, rolling on the ground with his arms folded.

There was a severed finger on the ground, and Mo Wen's dagger stuck beside it.

Mo Wen pulled the dagger out of the ground and kicked the man, "Don't tell me?"

"I really didn't kill the man. The dead boy is my own nephew. No matter how bastard I am, I can't kill my own nephew!" The man folded his hands and cried.

If Shangguan Ruoli believed this, it was really impossible for him to kill someone based on his frightened virtue.

Soon Mistress Wang was brought by the hidden guards, but she was dead.

The common people were shocked and looked at Dongming Ziyu in fear, obviously suspecting that he was the one who ordered someone to kill him.

The dark guard threw the obese Mistress Wang to the ground, and reported: "The person has been dead for more than an hour. Although he was hanged, there are two strangle marks on his neck, one of which is crossed at the back of the neck. strangled."

A bold commoner came up to take a look, "It really is like this, it has indeed been dead for a while."

"Is this murdered?"

"Who did it?"

"Why is Goddess Wang doing this?"

Someone's words caused everyone to think deeply.

This is against King Xuan. Why is Goddess Wang doing this?
Shangguan Ruoli guessed that the target of the people behind was those mountains, there must be something wrong there, some people don't want them to move those mountains.

However, isn't the private soldier hiding in the steep Lianshan?Are there problems with these unknown hillsides?

A sedan chair came in a hurry, and the chubby sheriff of Yuejun rolled out of it, ran to Dongming Ziyu, kowtowed and said, "Forgive me, my lord, it's because of my dereliction of duty that I let these unscrupulous people bother my lord!"

Dongming Ziyu looked down at him coldly, "You have indeed neglected your duty. As a sheriff, you have gathered so many people for such a long time before you heard the news and came here."

This county guard, after obtaining his fiefs as Yue Jun and Fan Jun, took the initiative to show his favor and surrender.

Now it seems that he is pretending to seek refuge.

The countenance of Yuejun County Master changed, "The lower official deserves to die, the lower official has neglected his duty, please forgive me, my lord!"

Dongming Ziyu said indifferently: "Since that's the case, you don't want to be the county guard. This king will write a letter to the court to report to the emperor the fact that your ineffective governance has led to the poverty of the people, the frequent occurrence of murder cases, and the riots among the people."

The sheriff of Yuejun was so frightened that his face was ashen, "My lord, forgive me, give me another chance, and I will handle this matter properly."

The people are poor and blame him?
Isn't it just two children who died?Why is it so frequent?

Isn't it that you are surrounded by hundreds of unarmed civilians?Why is it a riot?
Dongming Ziyu raised his eyebrows slightly dangerously, "What? You asked me to report your other crimes to the emperor? For example, extorting money without telling the emperor, embezzling money and money? For example, collusion between officials and businessmen? For example, allowing your son to rob people's daughters?"

Before coming to the fiefdom, he thoroughly investigated the evil deeds of these officials. One was that he hadn't found a chance to rectify the officialdom of the fiefdom, and the other was that the county guard had long surrendered. He was willing to investigate.

The sheriff of Yue County was ashamed when he heard it, "I am wronged, I am wronged by the lower officials, I beg the prince to investigate clearly!"

Dongming Ziyu waved his hand, "Put him in prison and wait for the emperor to deal with him!"

"My lord..." The governor of Yue County rolled his eyes and passed out as if mourning his concubine.

The common people didn't know anything else, and when they heard about the excessive taxation, they were all angry, and they spit on the fat body one after another.No wonder they have to pay more and more taxes and go hungry every year. This is the reason.

Dongming Ziyu said indifferently: "From now on, all the exorbitant taxes in Yue County and Fan County will be exempted, and you only need to pay the land tax, land tax, and commercial tax stipulated by the imperial court. In addition, the terraced fields obtained from reclaiming barren mountains will be rented to you. For the first three years, you only need to pay [-]% of the harvest’s rent.”

Wow!The people were all pleasantly surprised, which meant that they only needed to pay [-]% of the annual tax, and with more fields, they would have more food, so at least they would not go hungry.

This side is close to the sea, and there are few fertile fields. For them, the land is the lifeline.

However, to rent the world of Sun's family, they have to pay [-]% of the rent every year, plus all kinds of exorbitant donations and miscellaneous fees, the rest is simply not enough to feed the family.

People don't care about you, as long as you let them live a good life, they are good people.

"My lord!" the woman holding the little girl's body cried, "Then what about our child? Did he just die for nothing?"

The boy's family members also said: "Yes, isn't the mountain god angry? Who will pay for my child's life?"
