Chapter 430: Uncontrolled (Part 1)
Huan Ji felt strange when she heard it, since it was from Jiangdong Province. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but how could people from Jiangdong Province come to Beijing to complain to her? The faces of Qingzhou who saw her idle, jealous and hateful appeared in front of her.
Seeing that Huan Ji didn't listen to her, this Jade Zhang paused and continued: "This year's bumper harvest has made every household very happy, but who would have expected that this year's tax payment would be twice as much as in previous years. When the husband learned that he thought it was strange, he went to investigate. “
Huan Ji interjected and asked, "What's wrong with your husband?" “
Yu Zhang replied: "The husband of the folk woman said that now that the imperial court does not fight, there is no disaster and famine, and the first emperor has just died, how can he increase the conscription at this time, so he sent people to inquire in other places." ”
Huan Ji asked, "Have you read a book?" ”
Yu Zhang replied: "En, I studied with my father for a few years when I was young, and now I am studying with my husband. ”
Huan Ji nodded and said, "You can sit down and say." ”
Yu Zhang sat down gratefully on the side and said, "Who would have expected that the person sent to inquire would come back and say that the new emperor will ascend the throne this year, and the taxes of the court will be completely exempted. The Yu family is supported by the people on weekdays, how can they ignore such a thing. My husband talked to several older uncles nearby, because my husband has an official position, and I think they will give way, so everyone encouraged my husband to go to the county government to ask for clarification. It doesn't matter if this question is asked, the husband was directly arrested and put in prison, and the government said that he spread rumors and caused civil unrest, saying that he would raid the whole door and arrest the troublemakers. “
Huan Ji sneered in her heart when she heard this, this is a bit greedy, which stupid person did this, Jiang Dongdao, that person seems to be called Wang Shouyuan, a person in his fifties, and he doesn't look like a person who can do such a foolish thing.
Yu Zhang continued: "Not to mention the people in the county, even the people in the yamen were all favored by my father-in-law when the year was bad. When my husband was in trouble, he secretly came to me and asked me to go to the prison to see my husband and discuss leaving. I let the girl do what I was doing and guarding at home, and I quietly followed the eldest brother to the prison. “
Speaking of this, Yu Zhang's not only shed tears, but also began to sob.
"They forced my husband to confess his guilt and take him into custody, and my husband tortured him if he didn't obey them. Fortunately, those torturers are all old acquaintances, and the husband said that they are all looking at scary flesh wounds, but in fact they are nothing. I don't know if he's comforting me, or if that's the case. Speaking of which, Yu Zhang's wept silently.
Yu Zhang was afraid that the people above would make trouble for her, so she hurriedly wiped her tears, held back her sadness and said: "My husband was stained with blood on his body, and wrote this statement, saying that I should not trust anyone, go directly to Qingzhou, and find Princess Huanji." He said that he had heard from people in the yamen that the person who did the matter this time was a senior official of the imperial court, and he was afraid that ordinary officials would not dare to accept it. said that only the princess of the dynasty would not sit idly by and let me go directly to Qingzhou, and he also said that I might pounce, but it would be safe when I arrived in Qingzhou. When I arrived in Qingzhou, I found out that Princess Huanji was really not in Qingzhou, but fortunately, the officials in Qingzhou were really as my husband said, they didn't accept the money I prepared, and arranged for me to go to Beijing. I took a boat and a carriage all the way, and they arranged it at their expense until they sent me to Beijing. ”
Yu Zhang wiped his tears and said, "I don't know if he is still alive now, but I just think about it, even if I fight to die, I have to let him die innocently." ”
Huan Ji sighed, she scolded secretly in her heart, "These rabbit cubs in Qingzhou seem to have itchy skin, and since the people in Qingzhou Mansion know about it, they still send people to her." Naturally, the people of the Independent Commission for Integrity will not ignore this kind of embezzlement of people's property, maybe the people have already arrived in Jiangdong Province now, these ghosts are clever..."Huan Ji thought about it, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
After the officials of the Qingzhou Mansion learned about Yu Zhang's incident, as Huan Ji thought, they immediately contacted the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
Before the Yuzhang clan left Qingzhou, the people from the Independent Commission Against Corruption had already gone south.
Originally, the Qingzhou Mansion wanted to leave the Yuzhang clan behind, but later they thought that this person might be of other use if he went to Jingshi. They discussed it for a while, and then they concealed the truth and coaxed the Yuzhang clan to come to Jingshi.
When they arrived in Jingshi, the people from the Independent Commission Against Corruption also arrived in Jiangdong Province.
They also brought 500 Qingzhou soldiers this time, for fear of arousing the suspicion of others, these 500 people stayed in Huainan Dao, Huainan Dao is their princess's person.
After careful visits, it was found that half of the places in Gangdong Province were taxed, and a few places with good harvests still collected double or triple the tax.
The originally happy harvest days made people complain.
Others from the Independent Commission Against Corruption confronted the local officials directly, and they wanted to leave with the jade master book.
When the county magistrate saw that the matter was making a big fuss, he naturally didn't dare, so he hurriedly asked people to send their hearts to the top.
After this matter was known to the Daotai Lord of Jiangdong Province, the Daotai King of Jiangdong Province who accepted the fate of Jiangdong Province fainted directly.
This is really not what he benefited, it can only be regarded as his unlucky fake brother-in-law.
Gangdong Province is one of the best places, won by the cabinet scholar Wang Shouyuan, who has been conscientious since taking office, only occasionally accepting bribes.
After Wang Shouyuan took office, he also did some things to benefit the people, and he issued decrees in accordance with Qingzhou regulations.
But the new decree encroached not only on their interests, but also on the interests of every squire.
For the one-third of an acre of land for their own family, there are gift-givers, and there are beauties.
This king Shouyuan favors beauties, and at the beginning of this year, he accepted a new concubine, which is called a moment of favor.
The little concubine is also very powerful, coaxing the old man around, and she is the only one in charge of the house here.
The lady of the main family was old and did not follow the appointment, and the two aunts who took office together were not the opponents of the concubine who entered the door later.
The so-called Emperor Yuan, this little concubine has become a serious grandmother in the palace of Jiangdong Province.
This little concubine's maiden name is Cao, and the two brothers in the family are powerful masters, and they all earn money in exchange for their lives. In the early years, they did a reselling business at sea, and the silver was doubled, and the second child of their family had an idea, but the eldest was an impulsive, and later because he hit the ship of the Japanese Kou, the second eldest of the family was killed, and the eldest was also missing a leg.
The little sister in the family didn't let him go out to work anymore, and now the Cao family is the one who inherits the lineage.
The boss has nothing to do at home and falls in love with gambling, which is good, and the money he earned a few years ago made him gamble.
When it came time for this little sister to say goodbye, no one was willing. (To be continued.) )
