There are no covers in the rivers, lakes and seas, and there are no restrictions on the purchase of rat medicines, if a person really wants to die, there are many ways to go to Huangquan quietly.

Like Wei Chen, the widow of Wei Yuanwai, when the street was busy in broad daylight, she led her child with a heavy filial piety to stop in front of the busy Jishan Hall, and wanted to hang herself in front of the people on the street, so it would be strange if she could die.

The people are always simple and kind, and many people rush over to stop and persuade each other, and some people ask why.

That Wei Chen only hid his face and cried for his late husband, and kept saying that his first husband's name and surname were on the merit tablet, but he did good deeds but was not blessed, his family was wronged, his first husband was forced to die, and his orphans and widows were kicked out of the house.

Jishantang is in the north of the city, and the Wei family is in the south of the city, which is far away, and the daughters of the rich and noble families in this world will not show their heads, so no people recognize which woman this is.

Listening to her desolate, orphans and widows wearing linen and filial piety are also very pitiful, and good people are not rewarded well is a drama that is loved to be discussed in the market, ordinary people can't help but feel compassion, and they have talked about the grievances of their relatives and neighbors or others, and there are more and more onlookers.

Fucheng was redivided into districts due to the construction of a community warehouse, and each district had a hundred households under the Dengzhou Wei Qi to be responsible for public security, and special soldiers were arranged to patrol in turn.

Jishantang is near the City God Temple, and this side is the focus of patrols, and as soon as the crowd gathered, the patrolmen over there quickly rushed over.

In the past, there were two incidents of making trouble in the grain shop and receiving rice in the warehouse, and these rìzi patrols were very strict, and those who petty thieves and borrowed alcohol to make trouble on the street were caught by the patrol guards, and they were all sent to the beach to dig sand or build post roads outside the city according to the severity of the crime.

The law and order situation in the city was very good, and the attitude of the people towards the patrol became both respectful and fearful, and they even understood the rule of "no interference with law enforcement".

Therefore, as soon as they saw the patrolmen coming, the onlookers immediately dispersed, and only stood at a distance to watch the excitement, and did not go forward to talk.

That Wei Chen was still in tears over there, saying something to incite the masses, and suddenly saw everyone disperse quickly, and couldn't help but be stunned, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Xiao Qi, the patrol leader, looked Wei Chen up and down, and said with a cold face: "Which family are you?" Why is there so much noise here? ”

Wei Chen's voice immediately let out a loud cry of sorrow, and the poignant tone turned three times, "The people are wronged, ......"

Xiaoqi immediately interrupted her and shouted: "Since there is a grievance, why don't you go to the county government to beat the drum to avenge your grievances?" ”

Wei Chen's crying couldn't be picked up by his drink, he choked twice, and softly wrung Bai Aya and said: "The grievances of the people are as deep as the sea, and they can't live anymore......"

Xiaoqi sank his face and said, "If you have a grievance, go straight to avenge your grievances, what's the use of wiping your neck and hanging yourself?" Besides, you've hanged yourself here, what will your son do? Have you ever thought about scaring children? ”

Wei Chen's was choked again, he was here to make trouble, so he naturally wanted to pull the child out to win more sympathy, and he didn't really have a question of how to place the child and scare the child.

So when she was asked, she really had nothing to answer, so she had to hide her face and cry.

The little flag looked around at the people and asked her again: "I heard that your husband has accumulated virtue and done good, and he has a name and surname in this Jishan Hall." Accumulating virtue and doing good deeds is to cultivate one's own merits, and it is not a business transaction, and if you do it, you have to get back the profits. ”

As soon as he said this, many people began to gossip with him, "Yes, I haven't heard that if you go to the temple to burn incense and make a wish, you will be hanged at the temple gate." ”

The woman's face turned into pig liver, and she hurriedly said, "No, no, the women are not here to find something in return." It's just that...... It's just that I feel nostalgic for my life experience......" said and howled, "How can a people's life be so bitter......"

That Xiaoqi said coldly: "How was your family wronged, and who forced your husband to death?" Why didn't you report to the authorities? ”

Wei Chen wanted to pretend to cry so much that he couldn't help himself, so he avoided talking about it.

Xiaoqi continued: "You and your son were kicked out, and who were you kicked out?" Is it a mother-in-law? Is it a clansman? If someone forcibly occupies the property, you should go to the official to seek knowledge of the county and the prefect to make the decision! If you really die here, will you not fulfill the wish of the wicked? ”

He also said to the people watching left and right: "Neighbors, who doesn't know that the prefect cares about the people, and he is the most willing to make decisions for the people!" ”

At this time, when the weather in the city was new and the prefect Shen Rui's popularity was high, the people immediately responded to the gossip, and the mouthless boast that Lord Shen was the best official in the world.

Wei Chen's heart secretly hated, but it was this "good official" who killed her family!

But he couldn't answer a word, so he could only continue to cry.

The surrounding people also found out at this time, and the woman blindly cried that she was wronged and pitiful, but she never said any key information.

Inevitably, there was a lively idle man yīn Yang Wei and said: "I'm afraid it's just a troublemaker, look at it, if you want to hang yourself, you can't even find a stone for stepping feet, can she reach the rope ring?" ”

The surrounding people couldn't help but laugh when they looked at the woman's petite figure, and most of the people who had pitied her before had woken up.

Wei Chen's intestines were so remorseful that his intestines were blue, and he didn't have the face to stay here anymore, so he took his sleeve to cover his face, pulled his son and left.

But the patrol would let her go, and he surrounded her and blocked her way.

Wei Chen panicked, so he secretly pinched his son, the child was ignorant, and he cried loudly. Wei Chen immediately cried: "What do you mean by a few bad masters? Pity my orphans and widows......"

The little flag had already walked over, stood in front of her, and said solemnly: "Since there are grievances, and we have encountered them, how can we ignore them?" If your mother and son go and have three long and two short, wouldn't it be our sin? ”

When the grain shop made trouble before, this Xiaoqi also participated in the arrest of the splashing action, so Jǐng tixìng was very high, for fear that if she let this woman go, she would go elsewhere to instigate the people to make trouble. Therefore, if you say anything, you must first get people away.

"There are both unwarranted deaths and unreported officials, and there are forcible seizures of family property, such a major matter can only be managed by the government office," the little flag said in such a loud voice, and did not intend to send people to the county government according to the convention.

He waved his hand and instructed the patrol guards beside him: "Go to the nearest car and horse shop to borrow a set of cars, and let's divide some people to escort the mother and son to the mansion." ”

How could Wei Chen's respond, but she had a pair of small feet and a child, and she couldn't run away if she wanted to. With all kinds of excuses to refuse, the people around her clamored and called her a liar, and that Xiaoqi was also resolute and refused to give in half.

The City God Temple and Jishan Hall are all important stops of the carriage and horse shop, and the patrol quickly borrowed the carriage and horse, and Wei Chen couldn't think about it, so he had to get on the car.

There are also people around who are addicted to watching the excitement, and when they heard that they were going to the government, they couldn't help but want to go over to see the new prefect's trial.

Where is the small flag willing to follow, with a cold face to the people not allowed to watch.

Although everyone only responded, but many people were curious and had two spare money, the public stagecoach was next to it, the car price was cheap, and when the patrolmen left, there were good people who greeted and joined in the fun to get on the stagecoach.

Even the one who was reluctant to pay two pennies and still wanted to see the excitement, and kept up with him from a distance, anyway, the patrolmen were also walking to escort the woman's carriage, and they couldn't run fast at all.

The patrol didn't drive away twice, thinking that the ordinary county yamen was not allowed to enter the Yimen to listen to the case, and there were many people outside the yamen who listened to the news and couldn't stop it, so they gave up and went with the people in the north of the city.

Over there, Xiaoqi had already sent someone to deliver the letter to the government office.

Shen Rui couldn't help but laugh when he heard that he was missing a stepping stone.

He has long wondered that those miscellaneous books and dramas are often written in front of other people's houses to hang Yunyun, and this can't be carried a stool at home to step on, if you move stones to step over? How to die!

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but say a few words.

The younger master next to him liked to joke the most, so he smiled and said: "Maybe it's because the door beam is low, or if the short-sighted person is good at jumping, I don't know." ”

Master Chen's stiff face couldn't hold back, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, and said helplessly: "The wild history miscellaneous records are not enough to believe. Busy and said: "The owner, this matter is quite strange, this Xiaoqi is still reckless, why don't you ask this woman for a paper, check the evidence, and let her go first......"

Tian Shun was anxious on the side, and said: "My lord, this Wei family doesn't have a good thing, the two little rabbit cubs of the Wei family are still pretending to be dead, it just so happens that this mother-in-law crashed into the door, it is better to take her!" ”

The Wei family has always been the focus of surveillance, Wang Stick took a group of people to Zhaoyuan County to prevent the rebellion of the people, and the news network here in Fucheng was taken care of by Tian Shun.

The Wei family's acres of land have been almost checked, and there was originally a historical problem of converting acres into acres at the boundary of Dengzhou, and it is not a few to convert three acres into one acre (paying taxes according to one acre of land), and the Wei family is even worse, many fertile fields are five acres or even seven acres into one acre.

There are also many ambiguities, such as the two fields with the deed are not adjacent, and the middle piece of land is considered to be terra nullius, but it is controlled by the Wei family, and the tenants pay rent to the Wei family, and the Wei family only pays the land according to the two pieces with the deed, and the one without the deed evades taxes.

After this clearing, Wei Jiaguang hid as many as 100 acres of land, and there were even more vague registrations, and taxes were collected on good land as bad land, which accounted for 60% of Wei's field property.

In terms of tax evasion, it is certain that half of the land will be confiscated with such an amount. If Wei Yuanwai does not die, he will be flogged fifty, which is enough to take half a life.

However, Wei Yuanwai died, and the cane could not be whipped away, but the punishment and confiscation were still the same, but no one said that the death penalty was eliminated.

If ordinary people who understand things are in the case of the collapse of the background, they all have to actively run to the yamen and ask for forgiveness. If you actively cooperate, you may be able to reduce the punishment, at least it will leave a way back for the future.

The Wei family is unconscious, they are all people who have started a family, and they are not hairy boys, but they pretend to be turtles with shrunken heads by taking advantage of family funerals.

Tian Shun naturally looked unpleasant.

Now that Wei Chen's trouble is coming, it is indeed the reason why Wei Chen's family is looking for death and life is not to play a double reed with his two stepsons, but to be kicked out by his stepson.

When Wei Yuan said that he was sick, he asked his step-room Wei Chen to take his young son to live in Puzhao Temple in the name of praying for blessings in order to run away, and not long after, the two of them quietly set a car out of the city and went to Fushan and Ninghaizhou.

As a result, Wei Yuanwai died suddenly before he could run away.

The Wei family didn't know his father's plan, and when he sent a servant to the temple to report to pick up his stepmother's return, he pounced.

The sons and second sons of the Wei family were all born in the main family, more than 20 people, all of whom have married and started families, and their daughters-in-law can also send funerals to and fro, and there is no need for the Wei Chen family to do anything, and there is really no one to mourn on the Wei family's side.

Therefore, Erlang of the Wei family did not send someone to find Wei Chen's family at all, but set up a funeral shed by himself, and Wei Dalang was even in front of his father's spirit, in front of his relatives, as the patriarch of Wei Chen's family and his younger brother Wei Wulang, the reason is: Wei Chen's family does not abide by women's morals, and Wei Wulang's bloodline is suspicious.

Wei Chen heard the news on the road, so he rushed back, but he couldn't enter the door of the Wei family at all.

The Wei family is not a big family, and there are no important elders in the clan who can come out to "uphold justice", and the Wei Chen family took his son to the homes of several relatives and friends, and most of them were closed.

I don't know who gave her such an idea, so she came to Jishantang to make a scene.

Tian Shun said viciously: "That mother-in-law is married by the Ming media surnamed Wei, and the stepmother is also a mother, can this sue the Wei family for unfilial piety?" ”

The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and in the Ming Law, unfilial piety and rebellion were listed as one of the ten evils, and they were considered to be extremely evil, and they were not executed in the past cases, and there were not a few who were sentenced to life service.

Master Chen said: "If that woman sues her stepson for being unfilial, she can indeed punish Wei Dalang." How could the woman not know this, but she never came to sue her, and chose to go to Jishantang to make trouble at such a time, and the people behind her did not know what their intentions were, so they still had to check it. ”

Tian Shun couldn't say anything, but he couldn't help muttering: "What can she make a fuss, it's just disgusting." The Wei family is not a good family in the city, and this sale of grain makes the people hate it even more. When the big guy knows that this is the mother-in-law of the Wei family, who is still impatient to watch her play! ”

Shen Rui waved his hand and said: "Don't check, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the soil, the Wei family's fields in Penglai have been investigated, and Ninghai Prefecture and other prefectures and counties are waiting for the local investigation to come, so let's finish it first." ”

Xiang Tian Shun said again: "That Xiaoqi is quite quick and wise, and he is a usable talent." When we were short of manpower, we turned around and said hello to Qi Dalang and asked this person to come to the government office on an errand for the time being. ”

Master Chen frowned and persuaded: "Owner, do you want to slow down again?" It is always unrealistic not to fish out the people behind this woman. I can instigate this woman this time, but I don't know what kind of trick gun I can play next time. There are only thousands of thieves, and there are no thousands of thieves. ”

Shen Rui shook his head and said, "The investigation is to be investigated, but the case is not waiting." Seeing that the homeless people are about to arrive, Fourth Uncle Lian will be able to arrive with only one or two, and the affairs of the Wei family have already been over, and the rest of the things can be promoted. ”

When Master Chen heard this, he also nodded and stopped persuading, and turned to Master Jiang and said, "Annoyance Yanxing sorted out the Wei Jiatian Mu dossier. ”

The Wei Chen family thought about a lot of rhetoric along the way, listening to the conversation between the patrolmen and the people outside, she knew that there were people who came to see the excitement, and she felt that she had some reliance in her heart, so she was ready to cry first when she was ready to go to the court, and then strengthen the image of the weak woman and win some sympathy.

The relative said that as long as the people took pity on her and helped her open their eyes, even the official master would not dare to touch her for fear of public anger.

As a result, when she arrived in the hall, the officials on both sides of the water and fire sticks fell to the ground and shouted mightily, which frightened her into a thrill, and most of her courage was gone, but she couldn't cry anymore, and she fell to the ground and trembled slightly.

Hearing that the old man asked her what her grievances were, how could Wei Chen dare to say that her husband was forced to die, only trembling and saying that she was kicked out of the house by her stepson, and she was not allowed to look at her husband's coffin.

Shen Rui dropped his signature and hurried to invite the Wei family, the defendants, the elders of the Wei clan and other witnesses to the court.

Wei Chen's family naturally hates Shen Zhifu, who has ruined her family (she naturally thinks that her family is not wrong, and it is all framed by others), but now she hates Wei Dalang even more for not sharing half of the family property with her and her son and removing their family tree.

This thing has been done too desperately, and the family tree is removed, or the family is removed on the grounds of "not abiding by women's morals" and "suspicious bloodline", and she and her son will not be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.

At this time, when I heard that the adults were going to arrest Wei Dalang, I was happy, and I just thought that I was going to kill Dalang Erlang and seize the family property in the hands of his son, as for the concubine Sanlang Shilang, just give some silver to marry a daughter-in-law and let them divide it out, and the Wei family is its own.

The prefect suddenly asked: "You said earlier that your husband was wronged and persecuted to death, and this unfilial case came after your husband's death, so let's try the case of your husband being forced to die first." ”

Wei Chen had just made up his mind to kill his stepson, but when he was asked about his husband, he was stunned again, and he couldn't respond for a while, and stammered a little: "Folk women...... Women's ...... Because the husband was sick for a long time, he discussed with the husband to go to the Puzhao Temple to pray for him, and when he left, the husband was still good, and suddenly the news of his death came, and the eldest man and Erlang did not allow the women and mothers and children to enter the mourning hall, which shows that the husband died strangely......"

Shen Rui raised his eyebrows, and said with doubts: "Since you said that your husband has been ill for a long time and is so sick that you need to pray for blessings, what is so surprising about this news of death?" ”

Wei Chen opened her mouth and couldn't say a word, could she say that her husband was faking illness?

She had to bite the bullet and quibble: "If it is a normal death, why don't we be allowed to enter the door?" People on the street said......" she gritted her teeth, "People on the street said that the first husband fainted in anger, and Dalang Erlang didn't ask him for a doctor, and killed him in life." ”

"People on the street say? Who said on the street? Is there any evidence? If you accuse your sons of murdering their father, you must have real and physical evidence. Shen Rui said in a deep voice, "What kind of grievance is your so-called husband wronged?" ”

Wei Chen only felt that the cold sweat on her back had come down, her throat and eyes were dry, and the words that her relatives had taught her before even cried and howled in front of Jishan Hall, but she couldn't stand a word in this court.

"I didn't ...... Not...... Nothing...... Grievances. She bowed her head and said so.

Shen Rui sank his face, slapped the shocked wood, and shouted: "Since there is no grievance, why did you go to Jishantang to shout grievances, incite the people, and pick quarrels and provoke troubles, are you guilty?!" ”

"Folk women...... Women's ...... The woman was in a hurry for a while, and said nonsense...... "Wei Chen's tears have finally come down, don't wait for Da Lang Erlang, fold her into it first."

"Is it nonsense to 'shout grievances' in front of Jishantang before, or is what you just said 'no grievances' nonsense?"

"This ...... This ......" Wei Chen hadn't weighed it yet, so he couldn't answer for a while, so he had to pretend to cry on the ground, delaying time, his mind was spinning quickly, and he was thinking about his idea.

Thinking that Zhang Ji has already fallen, if he pushes all the mistakes to that side, the prefect can't take that Zhang Ji to confront him anyway.

She made up her mind, wiped a handful of tears, raised her head, and said: "The women are only in the inner house, and the major events in the family are the first husband running outside, and the first husband is ...... when she comes in He was forced to do a lot of things by the leading political envoy Zhang, and he had to sell the treasures and fold them into silver taels and send them to Jinan Mansion ......"

She suddenly remembered that the steward Xue had finally rolled up a sum of silver and left, and hurriedly said: "Just a few days ago, there was also a steward surnamed Xue who came to my house, constantly persecuted her husband, and took away 6,000 taels of silver from my family!" ”

Now that many people came to hear the trial, Shen Rui did not stop it, especially if he wanted to promote the Qingzhang Tianmu in this case, and he needed the basis of public opinion, so he allowed the people to enter the Yimen to listen to the trial, and transferred officials and inspectors to maintain order.

As soon as the figure of 6,000 taels of silver came out, the people were in an uproar.

In the remote places of Dengzhou, the people are not rich, and those who have 600 taels are already rich and noble, and these 6,000 taels are simply astronomical in their eyes.

Now that everyone knows that this is the proprietor of Wei Ji Grain Shop, some people shouted angrily: "There is so much silver at home, but the grain and rice are sold at a high price!" The money that bribed the officials of Jinan Mansion was scraped out of our bitter haha?! ”

When the surrounding people heard this, they were also angry and shouted one after another.

The officials and patrolmen outside were all well-trained, and they immediately stepped forward to stop drinking, and quickly controlled the scene.

Wei Chen listened to the words of the people, and he also regretted his words a little, but he had to bite the bullet and say: "Then Xue Guan has harmed my family very hard, and I ask the lord to order him back, and he will know it in the first trial." ”

She also thought that it would be great if she could recover the silver together, and the people scolded what it was, and it would not be the same to buy her family's grain and rice in the future.

Shen Rui nodded and said, "If you are a person who cheats money, you should be held accountable." As he spoke, he instructed the scribes on the side to ask the Wei family about the appearance of this Xue steward later, and Zhang Fahai caught the documents.

In fact, the whereabouts of this Xue Steward are under the monitoring of the Che Ma Xing, and when Zhang Ji happened, the people of the Che Ma Xing immediately secretly detained Xue Guan Shi, just waiting for the Fucheng side to fall.

The Wei family was not very far from the mansion, and after a short time, the Wei family's eldest lang, Erlang, several servants, servants and two elders of the Wei clan were brought to the hall.

When Wei Dalang heard that Wei Chen dared to sue him for unfilial piety, he couldn't help but be angry, and when he saw Wei Chen in the hall, he couldn't wait to strangle this slut to death.

When Wei Yuanwai wanted to flee because he was going to leave his two older sons behind, he didn't tell them anything at all.

Wei Yuanwai died suddenly, and when Wei Dalang rushed over, he found that his father was wearing the clothes of an ordinary civilian, and the fire in the account room over there was strange, and the stepmother in the temple had long been gone.

Wei Dalang still doesn't understand anything, the old man himself wants to run away without saying anything, and arranges the young wife and young son well, but he doesn't have the slightest rumor to his brother, obviously he has made the two of them outcasts!

Wei Dalang naturally hated it, and as soon as he discussed it with his second brother, he simply swept Wei Chen's mother and son out of the mourning hall.

At this time, as soon as Wei Dalang knelt down, he preemptively questioned Wei Chen's words: "My father died suddenly, and I went to the temple to ask my wife to come back to preside over the funeral. ”

This is a question that Wei Chen can't get around, she twitched on her face, and could only say, "This is all what your father ordered me." ”

Wei Dalang said sarcastically, "Tell a woman to take her son out of the city with silver taels to Fushan?" As he spoke, he pointed to a few male and female servants and asked them to tell the lady how the woman was doing.

Those people naturally said that Wei Chen's was indecent, and he took advantage of the master's serious illness to coax the master to go out by himself, intending to take the money and elope with the blood of Jiān.

Wei Chen's anger fell, but the few confidants and stewards of Wei Yuanwai who she pointed out who could testify for her had already asked Wei Dalang to clean up, and Wei Chen had no witnesses, let alone physical evidence, so he had no choice but to put aside the topic that was unfavorable to him, and instead accused the two stepsons of assassinating Wei Yuanwai.

Before the prefect could ask, the Wei family themselves quarreled in the hall.

The court is also going to be punished, but now the prefect doesn't seem to have the intention of taking care of it, and the people in the hall are also watching the excitement and watching it with relish.

Sure enough, when people are impulsive, they are easy to get up, and the truth is told in the hall when they are arguing.

All of Wei Chen's rhetoric, whether it is "Wei Yuanwai ordered her to go out of the city", or "Wei Yuanwai's sudden death is afraid that she will be harmed by the second son", is based on the fact that Wei Yuanwai is not sick at all.

Seeing that Wei Chen couldn't say anything about Wei Dalang, he would soon be completed to falsely accuse his stepson.

Mo said that false accusations are also punishable, if she is sentenced to Jiān, then she will have no way to live, not to mention that she made a scene in front of Jishan Hall before, and she has not yet defended herself clearly in front of the prefect.

Wei Chen hated it so much that he poked seventeen or eighteen knives in his heart to the relative who came up with this bad idea for him, but at this time, she was already difficult to ride a tiger, and she couldn't please left and right, so she simply made a heart, and said that Wei Dalang didn't want her to get half of the family property, and he didn't want to enjoy the family wealth!

She immediately shouted that Wei Yuanwai was pretending to be sick, but it was too tight outside, Wei Yuanwai said that he was not sick, and he was only looking forward to Jinan Mansion to save him, but he didn't want Zhang Ji to help, so Wei Yuanwai arranged for their mother and son to go out of the city, because he was afraid that something would implicate them later.

Wei Dalang was not afraid of the fact that she told Wei Yuanwai to pretend to be sick, he decided that the death penalty was eliminated, and Wei Yuanwai was murder and arson, as long as it was not a major crime of the Jiu clan, there was no reason for his son to be punished for his father.

But I never expected that Wei Chen's family counted from back to front, how the pioneer Zhang Ji forced Wei Yuanwai, how much land Wei Yuanwai bought for Zhang Ji, how to record the good land as bad land for tax evasion, and how the price of rice rose in the past two years due to the famine, all kinds of illegal things were said, and it had the meaning of killing the entire Wei family.

There are many things that are said to be done by Wei Dalang.

Wei Dalang regretted it and was busy going back to make up for it, but he couldn't explain it.

Shen Rui and others are the truth of Wei Chen's words.

Shocked, Wei Chen's previous big trouble in Jishantang, the so-called Wei Yuanwai was forced to die, sued his stepson for unfilial piety, and the Wei family's hidden land to hide taxes and raise prices.

Wei Dalang was still struggling, he didn't recognize the hidden fields, and kowtowed: "Lord Qiyu Mansion, the father of the grass people died in that rì, the family walked with water, and there was a lack of study and account room, this and this...... Some deeds and account books are also ...... All ruined......"

He wanted to bite the back molars again, anyway, his deed was burned, and the father who signed the deed and pressed his fingerprint died, so he could have falsely accused his family of falsifying the government documents.

Shen Rui said lightly: "It's okay, even if you can't trust the title deed registered in the county government, the account books of the Wei Ji grain shop that are sealed are still there." You can ask the Chinese people to come to the government office for inspection. ”

With the account books of Wei Ji Grain Shop, the Wei family could not explain the huge difference between the grain sold and the grain produced by the Qing Grain Shop without purchasing grain and rice.

As for the acres of land without deeds, if you insist that it is not yours, and there is no grain account book to prove that your family has collected rent, then it means that it is terra nullius land and should be returned to the prefecture and county; If you say that it belongs to your family, and there is no deed, but you have collected rent and have no tax payment record, then half of your family's land property will be confiscated according to tax concealment.

Wei Dalang saw sweat on his forehead, he was far inferior to his father, he had neither such means, nor such confidence, and there was no room for reciprocation in three or two sentences.

I had to say astringently: "My father is still in mourning, so I implore my lord Xu Caomin to send my father, and then look for the deed book in detail, and then reply to the adult." "He even tried to use that procrastination trick.

Shen Rui was angry and said unceremoniously: "If your family still has evidence to prove the source of grain and rice, Wei Chunlai would have taken it out a long time ago." Then you come and tell the official, what kind of deed book account book are you looking for again? ”

Wei Dalang opened his mouth and couldn't say anything more, only thinking about which crime he could confess to save more family property.

had no choice but to follow Wei Chen's words, and the Wei family's sin of hiding land and hiding taxes and raising prices was also pushed to Zhang Ji, and he was forced by Zhang Ji again and again.

But even if someone instigates it, it is the Wei family who committed the crime, how can they escape punishment.

Especially when the people outside listened to the trial, they scolded the Wei family for being unscrupulous, and the crowd was raging.

The clerks over there worked hard to write books, and in addition to recording what Wei Chen said, the reactions of the people were also clearly written.

Shen Rui glanced at the scribe, exhaled in his heart, and could attach a copy of the file when handing over the fold.

Although Zhang Ji fell, he blackmailed the Wei family and let the Wei family hide the tax for him to squander and send it to Yang Tinghe, and Yang Tinghe could let Jiao Fang, who recommended Zhang Ji, eat and hang.

And Zhang Ji has far more filial piety to Jiao Fang than to Liu Jin, but this incident fell on "Liu Jin asking for bribes", and the bad reputation is all made Liu Jin back, will Liu Jin be willing to admit this pot?

Liu Jin couldn't imagine that Zhang Cai, who was striving for the top position, could also think of it for him.

Let's see how my father-in-law takes advantage of this. Shen Rui said in his heart.

More and more people have been tried in court, and the case is becoming clearer.

After the doctor who often treats the Wei family came to the court, the fact that Wei Yuan pretended to be sick was confirmed.

The servants and the presiding officer of the Puzhao Temple proved that the Wei Chen clan was indeed ordered out of the city by Wei Yuanwai, and there was no act of not abiding by the women's way.

In this way, Wei Yuanwai's preparation to abscond has also been confirmed, and it has indirectly confirmed whether the Wei family is guilty or not, why are you fleeing?

After arraigning more subordinates of the Wei family, the Wei family forcibly seized and forcibly occupied fertile land, and improved to inferior to hide taxes.

In the end, the case was decided: Wei Chen's mother and son returned to their own clan. Although Wei Dalang expelled his stepmother and brothers, there were many misunderstandings for the incident, and he was not sentenced to the felony of unfilial piety, but because of the damage to the reputation of Wei Chen and Wei Wulang, he was still sentenced to one year of hard labor and was not allowed to atone for his crimes with silver.

Wei Chen's big trouble in Jishantang, his feelings were pitiful, but his actions were still a trouble, fortunately did not cause a particularly bad impact, so he was sentenced to three months of detention, and after ten years, he could atone for his crimes.

The evidence of the Wei family's crimes of hiding fields, hiding taxes, and raising prices is conclusive, and Wei Chunlai died, and the cane was exempted, and Wei Dalang and Wei Erlang were more or less involved, flogging fifty and thirty respectively.

In addition, there is a penalty of silver and a penalty field:

Due to the concealment of land and taxes, all the hidden fields of the Wei family were confiscated, and the Wei family's Sancheng land property was confiscated; The commercial tax on the short land in the past five years was recovered, and a certain amount of silver was fined.

Due to the increase in the price of rice in a disaster year, in addition to the penalty and confiscation price difference, a certain amount of rice grain was also fined. Because there was no record that the people who bought the grain could not be found to return them one by one, they put the fines and silver and rice fines of each grain store into the community warehouse in the district where they were located, so as to benefit the people of the society.

After the verdict, the people who heard the trial outside applauded.

When the officials announced that the acres of land confiscated by the Wei family would also be used for the people, and the specific allocation of the hundreds of acres of land would be announced at the monument erectional ceremony of the Ming Dynasty, the people were jubilant again.

As the crowd took to the streets after the retreat, the news spread quickly.

The next day, there were a sea of people inside and outside Jishantang, and there were also people who came from the villages and towns outside the city, which was very lively for a while.

After the ceremony of erecting the new monument of merit was successfully held, and after announcing various projects for the benefit of the local area and the systems of "special funds" and "account disclosure", Shen Ruiyinuo announced to the people the treatment of the confiscated hidden fields.

Penglai County has investigated a total of 489 hectares of hidden fields and folded acres of land, and plans to allocate 100 hectares for government schools, county schools and other government schools, and set up a scholarship system at all levels to encourage students to study diligently, especially to solve the worries of life for poor students;

It is planned to set up Luban School, allocate 100 hectares for the school field, and the cost of the test field and the school will come from here.

Although the name is "Luban", it is not a simple craftsman school, but an imitation of the Qingyi School in Beijing, setting up a number of classification schools such as farming, business, carpenters, weavers, boatmen, etc., which are not closed at present, but also manage a meal, if there is work, but also pay a certain salary.

Continue to promote the Zhuzi community warehouse, and plan to allocate 100 hectares of land to subsidize the expenses of the community warehouse in various places.

We will continue to recruit all kinds of "experts" and "teaching assistants," and it is planned to allocate 50 hectares of land for the expenses of expert teaching assistants. It is proposed to divide the expert teaching assistants into grades according to their contributions, and pay monthly salaries and allowances according to their grades.

To recruit medical talents, it is planned to allocate 39 hectares of land to subsidize the major pharmacies and medical centers in Penglai, encourage doctors to study medical skills, set up a public welfare fund, regularly open free clinics, and subsidize the money for free consultations.

Another 100 hectares of land will be temporarily returned to the county for various emergency purposes, and if there are new projects, they will be allocated from this item.

When the people heard this, the mountains called out to the sky.

Some squires shouted that they wanted to build a shrine with Shen Qingtian, and Shen Rui resigned, saying that all the surplus money should be donated to Jishantang to continue to benefit the people.

The people were even more moved, and since then, many people have offered immortal tablets for Shen Rui at home.

Three years later, Shen Lian's family arrived in Fucheng with a master weaver craftsman from Songjiang Prefecture.

Luban School was officially established.

At this time, the solar term has passed the beginning of summer, and the farmers have ended their land, and the people who have been idle for a while have poured into the Luban School, some want to learn the craft, some want to earn a salary, and some simply want to save the chew at home, no matter what, the Luban School does not refuse.

Shen Lian temporarily replaced the mountain chief of Luban Academy.

He was also not ambiguous, and the first thing he did was to lobby several major shops in Fucheng, sign a "commission training" contract, and train talents, such as guys, bookkeepers, and shopkeepers.

Later, he signed a "employment" contract with shipbuilding docks, Lujia and other maritime merchants, and trained shipbuilders, ship repair craftsmen, as well as sailors and shipbuilders.

In the end, he signed a contract with the Lei family to jointly develop mountain silkworm cocoon silk fabrics, and the finished products were sold by the Lu family in Liaodong and overseas, and the profits were divided into three or four parts.

At the same time, the Penglai weaving factory is also under construction.

Because Fucheng built a warehouse for Zhuzi Society, to rent looms from the people who joined the society, Shen Lian prepared to divide the weaving factory into zero, on the one hand, to collect cloth from individual households, and on the other hand, to set up a small weaving factory in each workshop, only a few or a dozen looms, and the female dependents in the workshop came to work.

Among them, Mrs. Liansi has a trick to let the female workers work at the door of the house, and the start time is flexible, and then hire a few stove people to take care of only one meal, and help the female workers take care of the children at other times, or collect clothes at a low price to wash, so as to avoid the worries of many female workers, and naturally there are more women with good skills who are willing to come out to work to supplement the family.

Shen Rui was also smacked by this set, and he also convinced Shen Lian and his wife's business acumen.

Some of them were actually seen by him in his previous life, and he casually mentioned it to Uncle Lian, but he didn't understand everything, and many of them only described the phenomenon and put forward an idea.

I don't want to be very concerned about the fourth uncle, but I am very attentive to it, and I have studied a set of methods suitable for the local area.

Thinking that Shen Lian's family was stationed in Dengzhou and could help him for a longer time, Shen Rui was also full of enthusiasm and accelerated his plan to revitalize Dengzhou.

And just when Fucheng was in full swing to promote various projects, a large number of displaced people arrived in Penglai.
