Chapter 1911: Xia Xia (March monthly pass plus 2)

   Chapter 1911 Xia Xia (March monthly pass plus 2)

Xu Lichang lowered his head and said respectfully: "Xia Yan was a talented scholar of Dade for five years. He used to live in Songhua Alley, but there were a lot of people in Songhua Alley. I only know that he died in the second year of Dazhen. There is only one daughter and son-in-law in the family. I don’t know much about the others."

  The county magistrate asked: "Does he have other relatives?"

   "Naturally, he is from the Xia family of Hongtian Village. It seems that he was also buried in Hongtian Village after his death."

   County magistrate Zhai finally understood why Zhou Man came to him, and Xu Lichang, an old man, was dishonest.

  As the head of the town, the people in the 100 households under his supervision will not only know how much they are, but the clans behind them will also know all about the relationships between the households.

  Otherwise, why should he be the chief?

  The chief is not a person of high morals, or a person with a deep family power, and a person whose ancestors have lived here, how could he not understand the rule of the people?

  What they know is more and more detailed than his magistrate.

  Di county magistrate is not just to Shangzhou. He naturally understands Xu Lichang and understands the twists and turns in it.

  He gave a cold snort in his heart, glanced at Zhou Man and Bai Shan who were silent, and raised the corners of his mouth, and asked, "Who is living at No. 23 Songhua Lane now?"

   Xu Li stiffened and said, "The head of the household is called Xia Yi. By the way, he is also from the Xia clan of Hongtian Village, and he should be Xia Yan's relatives."

  "Does the house belong to him? Or who rented it to him?"

   Xu Lichang glanced at Zhou Man and said, “It should be his, but I never heard that it was rented.”

   County magistrate Zhai slid his cup and smiled and said, “Xu Lichang is so unfamiliar with governance? Doesn’t even know if he is a tenant? This county remembers that the population needs to be approved every spring, right?”

  The population of the tenant and the population of the head of the household are not counted together. These are two separate merits.

  The sweat on Xu Lichang’s forehead slipped and she didn’t know if it was hot.

  Man Bao and the three people sat quietly, none of them said anything.

After a while, when Xu Lichang was hesitating to speak, the county magistrate Zhai had already raised his head and said: "Come here, go to Songhua Alley and invite Lao Du and Lao Zhu, and then ask someone to call Xia Yi, um, Ben The county remembers that Xia Xia in Daxi Alley next to Songhua Alley, the county remembers that his family is also from Hongtian Village? Go and invite him too."

  Man Bao and Bai Shan picked their lips, and as expected, they still had to find the county magistrate. Can there be any ground snakes in this world that are more powerful than the county magistrate?

  Ahem, of course, they are not saying that the county magistrate Zhai is a local snake.

   Xu Li swallowed for a long time, and hurriedly said: "Xia Xia seems to be very ill, I am afraid I can't get up."

   County magistrate Zhai said indifferently: "Go first, please, if you don't come, please invite Xia Rui to come."

  Man Bao asked, "Is Xia Rui?"

  Di county magistrate: "Oh, it's the son of Xia Xia."

  Man Bao nodded and waited quietly.

Sitting on the lower stool, Xu Li wanted to open his mouth several times for a long time, but he was a little bit uncomfortable. The main thing was too far from his expectations. Zhou Man appeared suddenly and didn’t say anything. He could still find the county magistrate here in such a short time. Come, let the county magistrate stand for her.

  Xu Li’s long thumb was pressed on the forefinger knuckle, his fist was tight and loose, loose and tight, and finally opened his mouth to start the topic again, "I remember, Xia Yi's family has a deed of housing, and it is not a tenant."

The county magistrate Zhai glanced at Zhou Man and saw that she had no response. Then he said to the deed that he had been holding down, "Coincidentally, Lord Zhou also has a deed of the deed in his hand. How is he doing when the original deed is not invalidated? Obtained a new house deed from the county office?"

  Xu Lichang stared at the deed for a long time and could not speak.

  The county magistrate Zhai has ordered to go down again, "Let the household check it."

  He glanced at Zhou Manhou and said: "Check the records from 14 years ago to 10 years ago, just check it from 14 years ago."

  The messenger retired.

  So everyone turned their heads to look at Xu Lichang, and the county magistrate Zhai said: "Xu Lichang, you shouldn’t be ignorant of this, do you? You need the signing of the house manager to buy and sell a house."

  Like Man Bao, if they want to enclose land in the village or buy land to build a house, they need to report to the chief of the village, and even when they buy a shop in the county town, they have to talk to the chief of the house.

  Because property and population are important conditions for assessing household product, and household product determination involves tax payment, there is a considerable difference between the taxes paid by the upper household and the lower household.

  Each resident has an account in his hand or in his heart. The county magistrate Zhai sneered when he said that he did not know whether the Xia Yi family was a tenant or the head of the household, but etiquette restrained him.

  Li Chang sighed, got up and knelt down to confess his guilt, knowing that he had gone wrong, and confessed more when he entered the county office, and could not fool like the Zhouman three at home.

   Xu Li said: "Xia Yi’s house should have been passed by twelve years ago, and it was decided by the Xia clan to give it to him."

  He said: "My lord, Xia Yan has no heirs. After his death, the clan has the right to take back his land and real estate for redistribution. Xia Yi's family is one of Xia Yan's closest relatives."

  This is true, but why does he hide it?

  The county magistrate Zhai looked at Zhou Man.

   Zhou Man slid his cup and turned his mouth lightly and said, "My father is a patriarch, and those fields and real estate belong to my parents."

   County magistrate Zhai’s teacup almost fell off.

Xu Lichang had expected her to say this a long time ago, and his complexion didn't change much. "It seems that the Xia clan didn't come back when Zhou Yin had left with Xia Xin. There was no one to sweep the tomb of the Xia couple, so It is concluded that they will not come back again, so the family property is divided."

   Zhou Man sat up slightly and asked, "Where is the tomb of my grandparents?"

  Xu Lichang did not expect that she was asking this question, and thought she would tell her parents one or two things. At his home, she only said that her parents died early, but did not say why.

   Xu Li paused for a long time, but still said: "It's on the Da'an Mountain not far away from the city."

  He didn't say that before.

  Man Bao and all three of them glanced at him, but they didn’t care, but asked carefully, “Where is Daanshan?”

  "On the east side of the mountainside, there was a monument to your parents back then, you can find it."

  Man Bao frowned and asked, "Why not be buried back to Hongtian Village?"

  The fallen leaves return to their roots and are usually buried back in the village.

  Xu Lichang did not speak, and the county magistrate Zhai comforted: "Da'an Mountain is also a good place. Many talented and virtuous people in Shangzhou are buried on it."

  Man Bao nodded.

  Just as they were talking, the servants who went out to invite people came back one after another. To Man Bao's surprise, another person was carried in while lying on a wicker chair.

The county magistrate Zhai also got up with a little surprise, and introduced to the three of Man Bao: "This is Xia Xia, he is a famous silversmith in Shangzhou. Many dignitaries are holding hundreds of gold to ask for a silver jewellery. ."

  The talent brought him to the front, Xia Xia had already squinted his eyes and looked around, but just a circle of eyes fixed on Zhou Man, pointing to her and asking: "You, are you the eldest woman of the Xia family?"

See you tomorrow
