Erya saw that it was the eldest son of the shopkeeper Chen who was riding a horse and walking in the front, and there were some people he didn't know behind, so he pushed Xiaohu and asked Xiaohu to come forward to greet him.

As soon as Xiaohu arrived in front of Chen Dagongzi's horse, Chen Dagongzi jumped off the horse and said to Xiaohu: "Call your family patriarch and all the clansmen!" The imperial court has a reward for your royal family! ”

Xiaohu hurriedly ran to the grandfather who was still crying goodbye with his grandfather in the north, and said excitedly: "Grandpa, take the big guy to the front, saying that there is a reward from the imperial court!" ”

As soon as the grandfather of the northern land heard that there was a reward from the imperial court, he hurriedly took the people of the northern land to stand aside, and asked the grandfather of the southern land to take the people of the southern land to come forward to receive the will of the imperial court!

Xiaohu asked Mr. Chen, "Big brother!" Do you want to set up an incense case or something? ”

Grand Prince Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know, you can ask the eldest prince of the prefect's family, he is also here, you go over to greet him, and ask by the way." ”

Xiaohu looked for the team that came and went, a carriage stopped at the front, the curtain was opened, and it was the eldest son of the prefect's family sitting in the middle, Xiaohu hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greeted: "Brother Qin, I didn't expect you to come too!" You see, we're going to set up an incense case? ”

The eldest prince of the prefect's family nodded with a smile in return, raised his leg and jumped out of the carriage, straightening Xiaohu's slightly bent waist: "This is not a holy decree, there is no need to set up an incense case!" Just bow down and listen to the will! ”

Grandpa Tai led all the clansmen to kneel down and listen to the official government read the will. Roughly speaking, first, because of planting and transplanting rice, the merit lies in the community, and thousands of acres of fertile land are rewarded. 2. Rescue the foreign disaster victims, help the neighbors, be benevolent and noble, exempt the royal family from paying taxes for three years, and third, eliminate violence and peace. When the commendation, Wang Bensheng was appointed as the town of Hepu Town.

After reading out the government's will, Grandpa Tai will leave the official office to drink water and eat. It's just that the eldest son of the prefect's family didn't even plan to enter the door, so he took the people from the official office to leave, and the third uncle hurriedly took out the silver ticket that was originally intended for use on the road, and stuffed it to the prefect's eldest son: "Master official!" Since you are in a hurry to go back to the palace. It was getting late. We don't dare to force us to stay, so please go back and work harder, and help invite the officials who came today to have a meal. Take a sip of tea. ”

Xiaohu and grandpa Tai all said yes again and again on the side, the eldest son of the prefect's family, look at Xiaohu who nodded again and again. smiled and asked his subordinates around him to accept the silver ticket, and he himself waved his hands at Xiaohu and Grandpa Tai. After two clicks, he got into the carriage and was about to leave.

Grand Master Chen hurriedly stepped forward and said to him, "Brother! Are you going to the county seat, or are you going straight back to the provincial capital? I can't go with you tonight. I have to spend the night here and talk to them about going to the grassland! ”

The prefect who was sitting in the carriage replied, "It's okay if you don't follow me." I'm going to go to the county government first! ”

After a few people said goodbye and left, there was a commotion here. There are more than 300 people in one drying field. You and I don't stop talking, and I really follow the same flock of five thousand ducks.

Erya and Xiaohu were also very puzzled and asked Mr. Chen, "Brother Chen, how many years ago did this transplanting and planting, why did you suddenly remember to give our family a reward today?" ”

Chen Dagongzi shook his head with a smile and said, "This matter! It's complicated to say, so let me come in and talk to you slowly! ”

Xiaohu reacted and forgot to invite someone into the house. Here, Xiaohu led Mr. Chen into the house, and the grandfather over there also left the Northland people not to leave for the time being, no matter how they were arranged in the future, even if they went back, they had to let everyone drink the celebration wine before leaving.

Xiaohu just took Mr. Chen into the hall and sat down, and the grandfather, uncle, uncle, second uncle, and many other people followed into the house.

Xiaohu arranged for the grandfather, uncle, and respected elders to sit down, and the others all stood!

As soon as Grandpa Tai sat down, he was anxious to inquire about the situation with the eldest son of the Chen family: "Young Master Chen, we didn't report these things, why did this court suddenly come down and be rewarded!" ”

Grand Prince Chen smiled and said in a slow tone: "You don't need to report this yourself, generally the town repays the county government, the county government reports to the government government, and the government government reports to the court." But the matter of your Wang family is complicated to talk about. ”

Grandpa's face tightened, and he asked urgently: "But what happened in the middle?" ”

Chen Dagongzi nodded and said: "There are a lot of things in the middle, I can't tell for a while!" ”

Xiaohu has a close relationship with Chen Dagongzi, and he was anxious to see him selling Guanzi, and shouted in a low voice with a long voice: "Brother-!" ”

Grand Master Chen grinned, "Forget it! I'll make a long story short, and I'll tell you what's important! ”

The people in the house listened attentively, and at some point, the courtyard outside the door was full of people. Because he wanted to listen to what Chen Dagongzi said, he held his breath, quietly as if there was no one.

In it, Chen Dagongzi talked about the origin of this commendation: "In the county order of your county, there is a brother-in-law who has a field that his family has rented out because of the drought, so he forced his daughter to pay the rent.

There is a family surnamed Zhu, and his daughter is very powerful, although she was forced to be an aunt, she didn't accept her fate. and his brother, one inside and one outside, secretly collected evidence of the county commander's brother-in-law's crimes, and prepared to sue at a higher level. is also the brother-in-law of the county commander's family, too arrogant, they don't need to work hard, and the real evidence is a big stack.

At the end of the year before last, the prefect's government received a petition accusing the brother-in-law of the Hu County Ling family of oppressing the people, seeking wealth and harming the people, especially by naming names, and explaining in detail his exploits in the family of Wang Xiaohu, the son of the Wang family of Puzhen.

At that time, when Brother Qin was helping his father sort out his official business, he took a general look at the paper and found that Xiaohu was mentioned in it, so he deliberately took care of this case and asked his father to send someone to pay an unannounced visit. While coming to my house to learn about the situation with my father. ”

Xiaohu interjected: "The last time the uncle came, why didn't he mention it?" ”

Grand Prince Chen replied: "That was specially explained by Brother Qin, he was afraid of startling the grass, you don't know about it, because of that transplanting and planting, Hu Xianling has been particularly valued by the saint."

Since this new planting method, before Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hu, and Guangzhou were not affected by the disaster, hundreds of thousands of stone of grain were added to the military headquarters just a year, as well as granaries in various places! The imperial court has a large amount of grain stockpiled, which is more solid than depositing silver! If there is no real evidence for this, then the prefect will cause big trouble. ”

Everyone in the room nodded in understanding. Chen Dagongzi continued: "The secret visit over there found that the so-called brother-in-law of Hu Xianling is just the brother of one of his aunts, a street gangster, who can't even distinguish between rice and wheat, how can it be the transplanting and planting technology he obtained."

Here, Brother Qin also inquired clearly from my father, and the transplanting and planting technology was indeed passed on from the Wang family's Zhuangzi, indicating that the Hu County Order had indeed taken the merits of your family.

The first half of last year. The undercover investigation gradually turned into an overt investigation. As a result, because of the mob, it was delayed. At the end of last year, the mob had subsided, and Hu Xianling's brother-in-law was officially arrested. By the way, he caught a lot of mobs hiding in his house.

The kid couldn't stand the interrogation at all, and he didn't hit the board, he cried like his father and mother dead, and he confessed everything.

Actually, he! It's just a name. Secretly, the rewards of the thousands of acres of fertile land are all owned by Hu County! The idle official position of the farmer official given by the imperial court was left to his brother-in-law.

That's all! According to Brother Qin. You can't drip Hu County's order yet! The main problem lies in the mob they took in, whether it has anything to do with Hu Xianling or not, he was arrested and put in prison for this matter.

After the case is closed, the prefect is going to report it. My father knows from your family that you have taken in a lot of the victims at home. In addition, I have arrested a mob, so I reported your situation to the prefect and asked the prefect to reward you.

That's how it all came together! The new prefectural magistrate is now a protégé of the prefect. So, Brother Qin came with me today. On the one hand, it is to look at you, and on the other hand, it is also to help this new county magistrate. ”

When all the people inside and outside the house heard this, they were more noisy than when they heard the will of the reward, some of them were filled with righteous indignation, and some of them shook their heads and sighed.

Grandpa Tai shook his head, and his heart was also very sad, if this official government wants to deceive the upper and lower levels, there is really no way to take him. They haven't even heard a word of wind for so many years.

Erya felt more emotion in her heart than these locals, all because their family had no power, but they were ordinary people. Therefore, people dare to take it so blatantly, if it weren't for the eldest son of the prefect's family who knew Xiaohu, this belated reward probably wouldn't have come to their family for the rest of their lives. She wants to develop the power of the armed forces and officialdom more and more, just a little money, it really can't work!

At present, Anzi and Xiaolong are still young, and the forces in the officialdom will not be established for a while, but it is possible to arm this part.

Everyone was still making a lot of noise, and Grandpa coughed loudly to let everyone be quiet. He asked Xiaohu again: "Xiaohu, do you know where is the good land that was rewarded?" I didn't understand it, and I didn't dare to ask more. ”

The third uncle hurriedly replied: "Grandpa! I know, it's called Liujialing, and it's on the side of the road where we go to the county seat. ”

The eldest prince of the Chen family interjected: "Grandpa, don't worry, you still have to go to the official mansion!" The title deed has to be obtained from the government, and how you divide it or arrange it must be recorded in the government. And someone from the government will take you to the court to reward you with land and mark the border with you! ”

Grandpa Tai smiled and thanked the eldest son of the Chen family: "Thank you Chen Gongzi for your advice!" He turned his head to Xiaohu and said, "It's not early this day, let Liu Yatou hurry up and cook and entertain Chen Gongzi!" ”

The second girl in the crowd hurriedly responded: "Got it, grandpa!" Why don't you eat together, it's a little later! ”

Grandpa Tai waved his hand and said, "No, you make it alone for Chen Gongzi to eat, we have to set up a banquet tomorrow, and the relatives of each family must be invited, this is a big family matter of our Wang family, we can't be so-so." ”

The grandfather of the northern land was also outside the door, and said loudly: "Uncle! You're right, this can't be done casually, if the ancestral hall wasn't here, we should still worship our ancestors. ”

The rest of the clan followed, "Yes! This is a major event that the Wang family has never had, and it must be handled well no matter what. ”

"It's best to have a lion dance and come over and help the fun! It's lively! ”

"Invite a troupe and sing a three-day drama is appropriate!"

Grandpa stood up and said in a loud voice, "Okay! Now let's go back first, let Chen Gongzi rest, and our matter will be discussed tomorrow. (To be continued)
