"What? He Jiazhuang in the south of the city led eighteen villages to sue Mojia Village for injustice in Chang'an County! Merton looked at Cao Zhutou in surprise.

Cao Zhutou nodded and said: "Just this morning, He Zhuang in the south of the city handed over the paper, thinking that his village was too heavy to bear the burden of forced labor, and Mojia Village was too light.

"Hejiazhuang?" Merton asked with a frown.

Fu Bo thought about it and immediately said angrily: "Back to the young master, Hejiazhuang is a big village in the south of the city, about ten miles away from Mojia Village, this village burns bricks and tiles all year round for a living, Mojia Village has bought bricks from Hejiazhuang this year, I didn't expect Hejiazhuang's wolf ambition to bite back." ”

Cao Zhutou said embarrassedly: "Since Mojia Village paid money for service this year, there are more tasks in the entire south of the city, among which Hejiazhuang has the most, so much so that it goes to the county order." ”

"But we have already paid the money according to the rules of the court." Fauber dissatisfied.

Mojia Village paid the immunization money of 2,000 men at once, which is not a small amount, and how can it be a reason to pay the money and serve the forced labor.

Cao Zhutou smiled bitterly: "The twists and turns are clear, and it is difficult to explain clearly for a while, why don't you come to the county government and communicate with Hejiazhuang and other owners in person, so as to resolve the misunderstanding." ”

"Of course, if Marquis Mo is unwilling to go, it's okay, after all, Marquis Mo paid the immunization money in accordance with the laws of the imperial court, and from the law, the Mo family has nothing wrong at all."

Mo Dun's heart moved, he knew that this was a gesture of favor from the county commander Su Luosheng, but he shook his head slightly and said: "How can Mojia Village embarrass the county lord, since these village owners are also close neighbors of Mojia Village, since they have all arrived in Chang'an City, then Mo Mou will go and meet these fellow villagers!" ”

"Lord Mo understands righteousness, Cao admires it!"

Under the leadership of Cao Zhutou, Mo Dun led the people of Mofu to the Chang'an County Ya, and came to a side house in the Chang'an County Ya, only to see Su Luosheng talking and laughing with a group of gray-haired old men.

These old men are all local village heads, all of them are local real power factions, and more than ten villages together can be regarded as a big force, and Su Luosheng does not dare to slack off.

"I've seen all the village chiefs!" As soon as Murton entered the Chang'an County Ya, he saw more than a dozen village chiefs and bowed his hand.

"Don't dare, I've seen Lord Mo!" The village chiefs hurriedly returned the salute.

"I didn't expect to alarm Lord Mo, today I came here, not because of the people's lawsuit, but the contradiction between the two villages." An emaciated old man at the head hurriedly explained.

In terms of titles, Modon is a marquis, they are ordinary people, there is a world of difference in the title, the people sue the official, and if they don't say that they won, they have to be beaten by the ten boards first, and then they will be pointed out by the owner of He Zhuang, who only focuses the contradictions on the two villages, and does not involve Morton personally.

Mo Dun looked at the emaciated old man, and said disapprenously: "This must be the owner of He Zhuang of Hejiazhuang, Hejiazhuang and Mojia Village are both big villages in the south of the city, and the neighbors and villagers, if there is anything wrong with Mojia Village, He Lao only needs to come and inform him, and why bother to come to the county respect." ”

The owner of He Zhuang couldn't help but blush, and argued forcefully: "There is nothing wrong with Mojia Village, it's just that Mojia Village has paid all the immunization money, but the conscription has not decreased, and the conscription in Mojia Village is not evenly distributed to us." ”

Before Merton came, the village chiefs were still aggressive and indignant, but when they really faced the young man Merton, they couldn't help but feel scared when they thought of the identity of the other party's marquis.

"That is, this year, the number of conscripts in each village is at least about 30% more than in previous years."

"With such a heavy conscription, the villagers are full of complaints, and we have no choice but to find the county to evaluate it!"

………………

As soon as the owner of He Zhuang finished speaking, the other owners also echoed.

"That's it! Today, Marquis Mo has arrived, and if you have any questions, you can spread them out and say that the official only needs to consider it. Su Luosheng shouted from the side.

"Yes, if you have any requirements, you can spread them out and say them in the open, and Mojia Village will naturally consider them." Merton said with a frown.

The owner of He Zhuang gritted his teeth and said: "In the old man's opinion, although Mojia Village has paid the immunization money, it is far from enough. ”

The village chiefs couldn't help but feel nervous and looked at Merton, but Merton was not angry, but said calmly: "I want to hear about it." ”

The owner of He Zhuang turned his head and saluted to Su County: "Dare to ask the county honor, over the years, He Jiazhuang has borne the heaviest conscription, but there are complaints." ”

Su Luosheng shook his head.

The white-haired owner of He Zhuang said proudly: "That's because He Jiazhuang has always made a living by burning bricks and tiles, the bricks and tiles are too heavy, and the road is the most seriously damaged. ”

Su Luosheng continued: "Then why is there such a big resentment this year? ”

"That's because the official road has been damaged the most seriously this year, and the real culprit is not He Jiazhuang." Lord He Zhuang said firmly, and his eyes fell on Merton on the side.

"Mojia Village?" Merton was stunned.

"Yes, it is Mojia Village, Mojia Village has entered and exited countless cars and horses this year, and they are always loaded with heavy loads, which is simply more than the vehicles entering and leaving all villages combined."

"That's not to mention, and the four-wheeled carriages produced in Mojia Village are all wheels of steel, and the official roads are simply overwhelmed by the load, and every time they are full of mud and potholes."

"Now the official road in the south of the city is almost damaged, and it must be overhauled this year."

………………

A group of village chiefs, your words, my words, directly explain that Mojia Village is the culprit who damages the official road.

Merton suddenly realized that the origin of the contradiction was that Mojia Village had embarked on the road of industrialization, and the number of vehicles coming and going naturally increased, and the damage to the road was naturally very serious.

The owner of He Zhuang gritted his teeth and said: "Although Mojia Village has paid the immunization money, we think that the immunization money paid by Mojia Village is not enough to offset the damage caused to the official road. ”

The village chiefs also nodded one after another, and all of them pointed the finger at Mojia Village.

Su Luosheng smiled dryly: "Lord Mohou has taken a look, after all, you have already paid the immunization money, and these things have happened again, you see how to solve it." ”

Mo Dun gave Su Luosheng an angry look, this unstoppable guy must have expected today's scene a long time ago, and he probably made up his mind a long time ago to let Mojia Village take on more conscription.

Merton's heart moved, today's matter must be resolved satisfactorily, otherwise even if Mojia Village is not legally wrong, it will lose three points morally.

After all, it is because of Mojia Village that the forced labor of these neighboring villages has increased, and if it is not properly handled, the reputation of Mojia Village in the south of the city is estimated to be ruined.

Merton suddenly interjected: "So, among the conscriptions, the most difficult thing is to repair the official road?" ”

"Ahh

Everyone was puzzled and couldn't understand why Merton asked such a question.

"If Mojia Village undertakes the task of repairing the official road every year in the future, you will see if this matter can be resolved." Merton said suddenly.

"That's true!" The owner of He Zhuang said in surprise.

Hejiazhuang is to bear the task of repairing the official road every year, naturally know that the task is heavy and extraordinary, and the requirements are extremely strict, there are special people from the Ministry of Industry to check, if there is a slight mistake, it will be reworked, if Mojia Village undertakes the task of repairing the official road, then Hejiazhuang will be relieved.

Su Luosheng's eyes narrowed, like an old fox, and said, "Master Mohou, don't laugh. ”

"Words have no evidence, but words are proof." Merton said with a final word.
