The efficiency of the Tang Dynasty was still very good, and not long after the decree was issued, a large number of officers and soldiers rushed into a casino and arrested Zheng Laoliu, who was reprimanding his subordinates, and at the same time, another group of people rushed into Zheng Laoliu's home and arrested all his relatives and slaves.

In order to play the role of killing chickens and monkeys, the place of interrogation of Zheng Lao Liu was set up in the downtown area, that is, a public trial, and anyone had the right to observe, and Ang Lee naturally attended the trial.

"Li Shilang, since you are here, you should come to trial!"

The new Chang'an made Liu Sheng walk to Li An's side with a smile on his face, after all, Li An's current official rank is above him, so he naturally has to be humble.

"No need, this official, like these people, is here to observe, Liu Xianzun should try the case as usual!"

Ang Lee understated it and had no intention of trying the case himself.

"Yes, the lower official will decide the case."

Seeing that Li An had no intention of hearing the case in person, Liu Sheng walked back to the main seat, and with a startled shot, he asked his subordinates to escort the prisoner up.

Soon, nearly 100 members of Zheng Laoliu's family were tied up by Wuhua and bowed their heads on their knees, ready to be judged.

"Not guilty, not guilty, why arrest me, why arrest me."

Zheng Laoliu looked arrogant, as if he didn't think he had committed any big crime, of course, this was because the official in charge of the arrest was only acting on orders, and he didn't know what kind of prisoner he was arresting.

Liu Sheng has long been accustomed to seeing arrogant and domineering criminals, this time, he is on order to handle the case, so naturally he will not be afraid of a splash like Zheng Laoliu.

"Bold Zheng Laoliu, you annexed 20,000 acres of fertile land, causing hundreds of families to be displaced, and you dare to cry out for injustice."

Liu Sheng scolded loudly.

"Hahaha! This is also considered a crime, there are more people who have annexed the land, why are they just arresting me. ”

Zheng Lao Liu is obviously crazy, he even dares to say such a thing, this kind of sloppy words will only make his situation worse, and even offend many people.

Liu Sheng ignored Zheng Laoliu's rhetorical question, and directly ordered: "Bring human evidence, take physical evidence." ”

Soon, dozens of ragged people walked up, knelt on the ground and shouted grievances, telling the truth of how Zheng Laoliu coerced them to sell their land, and even, when they refused to listen, they used violence to break their legs and feet.

There were also some onlookers who took the initiative to expose the fact that Zheng Lao Liu opened a casino, which caused many families to be ruined, and asked the court to severely punish Zheng Lao Liu.

However, the crime of opening a casino is not important, Liu Sheng was ordered to strictly investigate the matter of Zheng Laoliu's annexation of land, and he vaguely responded to the casino proposed by the onlookers, which can be regarded as adding a grade to Zheng Laoliu's crime.

"Zheng Lao Liu, raise your head, these are all evidence of your recent land purchase, what else do you have to say?"

Liu Sheng held a large stack of evidence and placed it in front of Zheng Lao Liu.

"Hmph, what's wrong with buying and selling land, it's not me alone, which family doesn't buy and sell land everywhere, why only arrest me."

Zheng Lao Liu caught the heart of the people who were not responsible for the law, and he was still arrogant, just like the people who ran the red light in later generations, after being caught, he accused him of why he didn't arrest the person who ran the red light with him, why only arrested him, it was a little unfair, but there was only one policeman? You can only catch one! Who made you unlucky? At this moment, Zheng Lao Liu was more unlucky and was picked out by Ang Lee.

"Good! Now that the criminal has pleaded guilty, he came and signed and detained. ”

Liu Sheng ignored Zheng Laoliu's rebuttal and directly asked Zheng Laoliu to draw a charge.

"I don't draw a charge, I don't accept it."

Zheng Lao Liu looked extremely resistant.

Li An, who was watching from the sidelines, smiled and asked, "Zheng Lao Liu, if you are not convinced, tell this official." ”

"Li Shilang, buying and selling land is commonplace, which family doesn't buy a lot of land, and this is also a crime?"

Zheng Laoliu looked at Li An very aggrievedly as if he had seen a savior.

Li An took out a document and disclosed Li Longji's repeated decrees prohibiting land sales, and said that Zheng Laoliu violated His Majesty's will by buying and selling land in the near future, and he also used forcible methods to force the people to sell land, and the crime was increased by one degree.

When Zheng Laoliu heard this, he immediately panicked, the emperor forbade the sale of land, he knew more or less, but the major families ignored the emperor's order and continued to carry out the merger of land, of course he was not far behind, but now, if the court punished him for this crime, he really had no reason to shirk.

"Zheng Lao Liu, you just said that buying and selling land is commonplace, and you also said that many big families are buying and selling land, you have conclusive evidence, if you can come up with evidence that the big families buy and sell land, the court will reduce your guilt."

Li An asked calmly.

Zheng Lao Liu was dumbfounded, it is an ironclad fact that the major families continue to annex land, he knows this, but let him come up with evidence, he really can't come up with it for a while, in addition, if he really dares to come up with evidence to prove that the major families are annexing land, then he will offend too many people, even if the court is willing to forgive him for this, in the future, the vendetta of the major families will definitely be indispensable, and his life will not be able to go on.

"The villain is just guessing, and there is no evidence. 【】”

Zheng Laoliu replied dejectedly, he seemed to have realized his fate, and it was useless to fight, after so many years in Chang'an City, he had seen too many things.

"Since there is no evidence, the court can't commute your sentence for you, okay, let's draw a detention!"

Li An said helplessly.

Zheng Lao Liu glanced back at the crowd, gave a thumbs up, and pressed it down with a painful expression.

"Zheng Laoliu will be beheaded immediately, and the rest will be sent to Lingnan."

Yoo Seung announced the verdict.

Suddenly, nearly 100 family members who knelt on the ground all cried sadly, Zheng Lao Liu just smiled bitterly, but he didn't cry, he was a villain who opened a casino, he hadn't seen anything, and he would die.

At this moment, among the crowd of onlookers, many people sneakily left quietly, and rode to the mansions of the major scholars, they were all henchmen of the major scholars, and they came to listen to the news.

"What, Zheng Lao Liu was beheaded because of the annexation of land, and the whole family was assigned to Lingnan?"

All the representatives of the Shi clan, after hearing the news, all looked extremely surprised, especially the Zheng family, who was even more frightened and sat on the ground, after all, Zheng Lao Liu was a member of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and he was suddenly beheaded by the imperial court, which was a big loss to the power of their Zheng family.

After much deliberation, the representatives of the noble clan gathered again to discuss what to do.

"Ang Lee, this little doll, has some means, it seems that we really underestimate him, and the sixth child was killed by him like this."

The representative of the Zheng family first shouted, looking anxious.

"Your Zheng family's loss of a small branch is not a big loss, but this is just the beginning, the reason why Zheng Laoliu was beheaded was to annex land, but which of us did not annex a large amount of land, if we keep investigating, I am afraid that several of us will be beheaded."

"How can this work, is the court going to destroy our family?"

"We must not sit idly by, we must fight back immediately to stop them from continuing their investigation."

"Fight back, how to fight back? His Majesty has repeatedly decreed that land sales are forbidden, and it stands to reason that we are at the bottom of the list! Ang Lee, this little doll has grasped this reason, how can we fight back, can we let His Majesty take back the holy decree from many years ago? ”

"So what do you say? Can we just sit back and wait? ”

A group of representatives of the scholar clan quarreled together into a pot of porridge, and no one could come up with a good way to get out of the immediate crisis.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the right minister is in charge of the ministers, why don't we go to the right minister's mansion together, persuade the right minister with great righteousness, and let the court take back his fate."

One suggested.

"Without further ado, let's go!"

In fact, the so-called righteous persuasion of the right minister refers to giving gifts, giving a lot of gifts.

In the Yuetang of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Linfu sat on a chair and fell into deep thought, he was thinking about the two tax laws.

When the draft of the two tax laws was promulgated, it became a pot of porridge in the court, but he couldn't figure out Li Longji's intentions for a while, so he was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but he was the right minister of the Tang Dynasty and ranked first among the ministers.

As for how much benefit the two tax laws can bring to the imperial court, and whose interests are harmed, Li Linfu's heart is like a mirror, but these are not important to him, the most important thing is Li Longji's thoughts, as long as Li Longji is eager to implement the two tax laws, it is useless for anyone to stop them, if Li Longji hesitates in his heart, there is still the possibility of stopping it, and Li Linfu is guessing at the moment whether Li Longji threw out the two tax laws, whether he has made up his mind and deliberately tested the ministers, or casually put it forward and let the courtiers make a decision after discussion.

"A-a-lang, A-a-lang."

Li Zhonglin strode into the moon hall, looking a little hurried.

Li Linfu frowned: "What's the matter, let's talk slowly." ”

As the prime minister of a country, Li Linfu doesn't like the panicked appearance of his subordinates the most, which is too unseemly.

Li Zhonglin took a breath and told the story of Zheng Lao Liu's beheading on the spot.

"Zheng Lao Liu is a member of the Zheng family in Xingyang, but he was beheaded because of the annexation of land, and the whole family was assigned to Lingnan, Liu Sheng didn't have such courage, is it what Li An meant?"

Li Linfu was also taken aback when he learned the news.

"Ah Lang, according to the news from our people, Liu Sheng is acting on the orders of His Majesty, which is what His Majesty meant."

"What did Your Majesty mean?"

Li Linfu nodded thoughtfully, and thought in his heart that Li Longji had made up his mind to implement the two tax laws, and the reason why he put it in the court for discussion was to find out what the ministers thought, so as to assess the resistance, and at the same time, to see if it was those courtiers who were working for the family.

Now that Li Longji's mind has been figured out, Li Linfu naturally will not prevent the implementation of the two tax laws, he will stand on the emperor's side to please the emperor and make himself favored forever.

"Ah Lang, representatives of the Xingyang Zheng family, the Fan Yang Lu family, and the Hongnong Yang family came to visit."

A doorkeeper stood at the door of the Moon Hall and whispered.

"Ah Lang, these people are coming to visit at this moment, it must be for the matter of Zheng Lao Liu, see or not."

Li Zhonglin immediately guessed the purpose of these people's coming.

"Zhonglin, let them go back!"

"Yes, Aaron."

Li Zhonglin was just about to leave, but Li Linfu stopped him again.

"Zhonglin, tell them not to be too nervous, Li An will naturally go to them."

Li Linfu smiled at the corner of his mouth, as if he had guessed something.

"Got it, Alang."

Li Zhonglin walked outside the mansion and told everyone what Li Linfu had said, but these people were confused, but Li Linfu insisted on refusing to meet, and they had no choice but to return the same way.

"What do you mean by the right phase, and why don't you want to see us?"

"The right minister means that Ang Lee will look for us, what does this mean, what is Ang Lee looking for us, is he going to arrest us and behead all of us to show the public?"

"Oh, what can I do? We must not sit idly by, and if we can't do it, we will ......"

Several representatives of the scholar clan were in a hurry, and even had the idea of assassinating Li An, but Chang'an City was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and it was almost impossible to assassinate someone.

Of course, the average age of these scholars is over fifty years old, and they are all well-informed old foxes, the reason why they failed to understand Li Linfu's words is that they think that they are concerned and confused, and they are now frightened by Zheng Laoliu's affairs, and it is natural to guess that Li An will continue to investigate the annexation of land by the scholar clan, and behead them all step by step.

They ignored Li An's fundamental purpose of punishing Zheng Laoliu, and even forgot that Li An's mission as the head of the household department was to implement the two tax laws and let the imperial court obtain enough taxes, so it was naturally impossible for Li An to exterminate all the scholars, and this would be an irreparable loss to the Tang Dynasty.

After returning home and calming down, most of the representatives of the scholar clan gradually understood what Li Linfu meant, and at the same time deeply felt that the implementation of the two tax laws was unstoppable, but after all, the two tax laws would harm their interests, so they still did not give up, mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources, and advocated that the implementation of the two tax laws would shake the national foundation, which was disrespectful to the law of the ancestors and absolutely could not be implemented.

Of course, this kind of grasshopper-like jumping after the autumn obviously won't last too long, and no matter how much they jump, they can't change the final defeat.

At the moment when the major scholars were nervous and anxious, Ang Lee spent most of his time enjoying the vegetables in the greenhouse very comfortably, and ran outside the city from time to time to see how he was growing in the greenhouse outside the city.

When I have free time, I work with the craftsmen of the mansion to improve various furniture.

"Ah Lang, according to your request, the new wheelchair has been built, how about you take a look?"

Ang Lee walked over, first observed his appearance, then sat on it, and walked forward with the handwheels for a while, and then flipped the switch to let the wheelchair tilt backwards step by step until it was tilted one hundred and eighty degrees.
