Wencheng Wenwu also said one after another: "Yes, my lord, you see how dangerous this Hexi County is, one more person, the safety of the adult will be more guaranteed, what do you think?"

Song Ci thought for a while and said: "Lu Sheng, since you insist on following Song, then Song agrees, but if you want to leave, you can do it at any time, and Song will never stop you."

"Thank you, my lord, my life Lu Sheng will be given by the adult from now on, whatever the adult says, I will definitely do it."

Song Ci laughed, outside the yamen, the people who came to watch the case left, and they claimed that there was a Bao Qingtian in Hexi County, no, it was simply Song Qingtian.

After the interrogation of the case was over, Song Ci still had to wait for the officials sent by the imperial court, and he could not leave in a short time, and Song Ci and the others could only stay in Hexi County, and could not leave until the new magistrate arrived.

On this day, Qin Xiaoyue prepared the food and served it on the table, it was not a delicacies from the mountains and seas, but the taste was not bad, comparable to the good wine and food in the tavern.

Song Ci said, "Miss Xiaoyue's skills are good, it seems that Song is going to ask the emperor for his life and give you some money, otherwise, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Then thank you Lord Song, as long as my income rises, I guarantee that I can eat fresh vegetables every day."

Wen Cheng Wenwu said: "My lord, don't forget our two brothers, we were sent to you by the emperor, if the price is low, we won't do it."

They laughed, apparently joking.

Song Ci agreed, and suddenly, he remembered something, "Wencheng Wenwu, has this Guo Chengjun been raided?" When Song walked on the street, he saw many people begging from time to time, and the court gave each family a good piece of land from time to time? Why is there still a time when you can't eat?"

Lu Sheng sighed and said: "My lord doesn't know, as early as when Guo Chengjun was the magistrate of the county, he distributed these fertile fields to the big families in the county, and the common people didn't have an acre of land."

"It's all partial? The common people don't have any land at all?"

Lu Sheng said: "Most of the people don't have it, the people want land, they can only rent from large households, a year's harvest, in addition to paying rent, there are not a few, a year to plant a dealer, only enough for half a year to eat, the other half a year to rely on odd jobs, or to dig wild vegetables in the mountains, usually can only eat half full, so that you can make up a year so-so."

Hearing this, Song Ci was already angry, the Great Song Dynasty clearly stipulated that every household must have land, but this Guo Chengjun was too bold to take the Great Song Dynasty law in his eyes, and there were these big families.

Song Ci said: "Do you know who these big families are? Let the catches all be caught quickly, Song has something to say. ”

Lu Sheng said: "My lord, I know something, now I will write the address on the paper, there are more than ten of these big families in total, and I have also worked for a short time before."

Lu Sheng wrote a large string of words on the white paper, Song Ci took it and handed it to Wencheng Wenwu, "You two, gather all the arrests, and immediately arrest these outsiders to Song, today, I will let them spit out more." ”

"It's my lord!" They acted immediately.

Qin Xiaoyue said: "My lord, is it a little too reckless for you to do this?" In my opinion, we can investigate it first."

Song Ci said: "When is this still reckless, if it continues, maybe someone will starve to death, don't look at the proximity to Lin'an, but do you know that the water in these places is deep."

Two hours later, Wen Cheng Wenwu and some catchers had already brought more than ten people into the yamen.

These people are dressed in silk and satin, and they look like rich people, and they can earn a lot of income in a year just by selling food.

"My lord, all these outsiders in Hexi County have been brought, and there are many people.

Song Ci looked at them, and before he could speak, someone asked, "Who are you?" Guo Zhixian summoned us, why didn't we see his old man?"

Song Ci said: "I'm sorry everyone, Song is the temporary magistrate of Hexi County, Guo Chengjun has been put in prison for corruption and perversion of the law, I'm afraid there will be no chance to turn over in this life."

These outsiders were all shocked, Guo Chengjun was their food and clothing parents, without this person, the future life would be difficult.

Originally, they were still fearless, but after hearing this sentence, they immediately became honest and did not dare to have any disrespect, the new official took office with three fires, and they didn't know which fire Song Ci was going to burn.

Song Ci said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Song invited you here today only for one thing, that is, to take back the land that Guo Chengjun originally gave you, and then redivide it, do you know?"

Someone jumped out and quit, "My lord, this land has already been divided, isn't it a little troublesome?" I'm afraid that as soon as you get it right, you will come to the next magistrate, I'm afraid you will have to redivide it in the future!"

"Yes, yes, a county with a population of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of acres of land, this is not something that can be done in three or five days, it's too troublesome."

Song Ci said: "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, this matter is handled by Song himself, and you don't need to worry about it, so I came to you today to discuss this matter."

"Discuss? What's the deal? If I don't agree, there is no need to discuss this matter.

"Yes, I don't want to redivide the land, okay, why do it all over again? My lord, if you do this, aren't you afraid that I will go to Lin'an to sue the emperor?"

Wenwu shouted: "Bold, this is Lord Song who mentions the Criminal Prison Division, Guo Chengjun was dismissed for corruption and perverting the law, don't say that you are suing, even if it is a court official?" We adults are not afraid of shadows, and we are not afraid of your complaints.

These outsiders were angry and afraid, Song Ci couldn't afford to provoke them, and they didn't want to do it. Song Cidao; "I'm sorry everyone, Song didn't call you here to ask for your opinion, but to tell you, so that you can be mentally prepared, Wencheng Wenwu, send people to the door of these outsiders to talk to the people of Hexi County, you can go in and get food casually."

"It's my lord!"

The two ran out with a bunch of men and horses, and Song Ci reminded: "At the same time, if anyone dares to stop it, you will be killed."

"Yes!"

These outsiders were timid at that time, they already knew that their good days had come to an end, and there would never be such a good thing in the future.

Song Ci said: "Everyone, why don't you all leave?" Song will take you to open a warehouse to release grain?"

They didn't want to agree, but ah, how could they beat the people of the yamen? Some people lament that no amount of money can do absolute rights.

Song Ci led everyone, and soon came to the door of a large house outside the staff, which was very luxurious, comparable to the yamen, and many people gathered over, Song Ci said: "Folks, Guo Chengjun, the magistrate of Hexi County, has been imprisoned in Xia, and Song is a prison officer, and today I announce that you can enter all the staff homes at will to carry food."

Some people can't believe it, maybe Guo Chengjun's residual power is still there, and they are timid.
