Chapter 165: Public Trial Conference (2)

With Guo Zhiyuan's order, a group of people were escorted into the lobby, all of them trembling and kneeling on the ground, Chen Donghai was dumbfounded when he saw these people, he knew all these people! There are the officials and historians of the county yahu, and there are officials who went to Liu Changfu's house with him to collect taxes, and even the governor and the book of Na'an Fuli were also escorted!

It was not the officials of the county government who brought these people in, but a group of soldiers of the New Army led by Zhang Cheng, and I don't know what Zhang Cheng did to these people, these people did not see any scars on their bodies, but their faces were pale, and they looked worse than dead, looking more miserable than the other.

Guo Zhiyuan looked at these people and was secretly amused, he secretly controlled these people and handed them over to Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng was the head of the prison in Jinyiwei, don't have too many tricks to make the whole person, it is estimated that these guys have suffered a lot. said quietly: "Who are you waiting for to report Chen Donghai for forcing Liu Changfu to sign a loan contract, and forcibly taking away the ten acres of paddy fields he mortgaged, causing Liu Changfu's family of five to commit suicide by hanging themselves in desperation?" ……”

"The villain willing! The villain is willing! The gang of guys immediately scrambled to shout, because they knew that this was their only chance to make meritorious contributions, Guo Zhiyuan pointed to An Fuli, who knew the inside story best, and said, "Okay, you can come!" ……”

Na An Fuli was overjoyed, and under the envious gaze of the rest of the people, Chen Donghai was bought off like beans in a bamboo tube, and they coerced Liu Changfu to sign a loan contract, forcibly took away the ten acres of paddy fields mortgaged by Liu Changfu, and later sent the ten acres of paddy fields to the name of a student to avoid paying taxes.

Chen Huaili on the side knew that something bad was going to happen as soon as he heard it, Guo Zhiyuan had figured out all the tricks they used to embezzle the people's land, and Guo Zhiyuan's purpose was obviously not just to investigate this case, but also to completely clean up the hidden fields under the names of these landlords, which made him more uncomfortable than digging Chen Huaili's ancestral grave, so he immediately jumped up, pointed at Guo Zhiyuan and said sharply: "These people are obviously tortured into tricks, how can their testimony be accepted?" Lord Guo is so perverse, do you really think you can cover the sky in Gutian with one hand? The old man also has a lot of old things in the governor's yamen and the prefect's yamen, and he can't say that he has to fight a lawsuit with Lord Guo! ……”

The other landlords and squires who came with Chen Huaili also knew that this matter was related to their vital interests, and they all shouted along, and suddenly the hall was in a mess, and the household officials, dianshi and others who were still honestly kneeling on the ground before also began to roll their eyes, thinking about whether they should stand up and fight back.

"Bang!" Guo Zhiyuan slapped the startled wood hard, and shouted: "If anyone dares to roar the court, give me a place to take it!" ......" The regimental training soldiers standing on both sides of the lobby also shouted in unison: "Those who dare to roar the public court, take it on the spot!" ”

The arrogance of the landlords and squires was immediately suppressed by the chorus of the regimental training villagers, and they couldn't help but be secretly afraid, this Guo Zhiyuan is not a master to be messed with, he killed so many bandits, the city was full of bandit heads who were killed by Guo Zhiyuan, they had all seen it, if Guo Zhiyuan really made a mess and killed them like bandits, it would be like crying without tears!

Only Chen Huaili relied on his wealth and strength and refused to bow his head, but he didn't dare to roar at the court anymore, and sneered: "Lord Guo, is this trying to use force to make us submit?" My Chen family has been inherited in Gutian for a hundred years, but I am not so easily intimidated by you! Today, unless you dare to risk the condemnation of the world and kill all of us in this court, the old man will not rest with you! ……”

The other landlords and squires saw Chen Huaili pick his head, and his courage grew again, and he followed the noise, saying that he was going to the prefect's yamen to complain, Guo Zhiyuan glanced at them coldly, and sneered: "Okay, if you say that the official is beaten into a trick, the official will let you wait for the will!" Take the Fish Scale Book! ……”

Zhang Cheng immediately took out two fish scale books and submitted them, Guo Zhiyuan stood up, raised the fish scale book in his hand and said loudly: "There are two fish scale books in my hand, one is left in the county government cabinet library, there are obvious traces of alterations on it, Zhao Zijing, the household secretary, and Chen Chaohui, the official of the canon, have confessed to the crime of accepting bribes from Chen Donghai to change the fish scale book!" The other is the Anfuli book left by himself, which is drawn according to the actual situation of the existing fields in Anfuli, and the official has only made a cursory comparison, and has found that there are many differences between the two fish scale books that should be the same, so do you still need the official to make the differences public one by one?! ……”

Chen Huaili saw that Guo Zhiyuan took out two fish scale albums and knew that it was bad, Guo Zhiyuan had already mastered the original evidence, no wonder that Zhao Zijing, the household secretary, and Chen Chaohui, the classic history, all looked like mourners, but he was unwilling to fail, and said strongly: "The fish scale book stored in the county yajia pavilion library was made in the ninth year of Wanli, and it is normal for there to be discrepancies. ……”

Guo Zhiyuan was waiting for Chen Huaili's words, and slapped the shocked wood and said, "Okay!" Then from tomorrow, this official will send someone to re-measure and register the fields in the county and revise the fish scale book! ……”

Chen Huaili was completely panicked when he heard this, many of the fields under his name were taken from the common people by shady means, and in order to evade taxes, he naturally used tricks such as "flying sprinkles" and "consignments", so that the loss of re-measuring and registering him would be great, and he immediately shouted angrily: "You don't count what you say!" Is the fish scale book a revision that your little county order says it can be revised?! Where do you place the imperial system? You're a mess! We will jointly file a complaint with the prefect Yamen and remove you from the post of county magistrate! ……”

The other landlords and squires also shouted angrily, saying that they would jointly sue Guo Zhiyuan and remove him from the county order, but Guo Zhiyuan sneered unhurriedly: "I don't count what I said, but what you say doesn't count!" I'll tell you who's in charge! ......" As he spoke, he picked up the fish scale book in his hand, strode down from his seat, walked to the door of the lobby, and said loudly to the black crowd outside the lobby: "Fellow villagers, this official has found a lot of mistakes and omissions by comparing these two fish scale books, someone has done something on this fish scale book, and distributed the fields under their names to you, so that you can pay taxes for them, and now this official plans to revise this fish scale book, do you agree or not?!" ……”
