[Heavy rain for days, begging for red tickets to appease]

The showman laughed.

Cui Ba didn't know where the other party came from, so he could only test it with justification.

"The people who died at the hands of thieves are not ridiculous."

Listening to Wang Xingping's words, Cui Ba's face became solemn, since the governors of the prefecture and county did not speak, it was impossible for him, a prisoner to be convicted, to question the identity of the young man, so he could only put down his body and continue to talk to the court.

"Old man, I can tell which of the property I help sell on weekdays is a thief, and if there is one, the villain is willing to double the compensation."

Whether it is Guizhou or the local chieftains of Banzhou, if anyone robs the property, where is there anyone who stays alive? Dealing with these people on weekdays, Cui Ba never dared to leave the county seat easily, and he also knew that these people were not easy to get along with, but it was just a matter of good money. It is this sentence that is actually said in vain, can you still find the bitter master? Even if there really is, one or two horizontally and vertically, he is not unaffordable, and now is the time to give soften, at least give the county a step down. After so much time, I haven't even said who the first complaint is, how can I be reassured.

Just saving his life is equivalent to saving his net worth, and he knows how much of his business is connected by county officials. Now a few people in the hall were frightened by the scene, and things were embarrassing, but when they set up the ladder step by step, they would definitely be there soon.

Sure enough, one of the people in the auditorium continued his words.

"That's a good thing, it's hard to distinguish the stolen goods, but you should always ask where the common chieftain got so much of his goods to sell? It is not an exaggeration to punish you for the crime of negligence, and the stolen goods and money found out should also be paid off. ”

This is obviously a small scolding and a big help, Cui Ba's heart lit up, and he was about to see which knowledgeable official was so knowledgeable, and he saw Zhao Maode, the same governor of Zunyi Mansion who had just spoken, continued: "As for what Xiucai said about forcibly occupying people's land......"

Since someone stood up and spoke for himself, he had confidence and courage in his heart, and Cui Ba spoke loudly.

"The master may know that the villain's farm furniture is a red deed."

In the old days, the sale of land and property was witnessed by a Chinese person, and the contract between the two parties was called a white deed, which had no legal effect. The deed is taken to the government for sealing, and the deed tax is paid is called a red deed, which is a contract document with official endorsement and legal effect.

Cui Ba's words are mostly shouting that the master is wronged, and the small half is saying, 'Whether my family's land is occupied or not, I want you to talk about it after you look at it'. Of course, the old man didn't know, but the faces of the officials below were not so good-looking.

Xu Guoqi is in charge of the houses in the county, and the tax payment deed has to go through his hands, and it is difficult to say that he doesn't know, but the big seal on the deed is covered by his own hands.

But I heard Zhao Tongzhi smile: "Since there is a deed, it is easy to do, take it and check it." ”

After speaking, Zhao Maode looked at the county lord in the hall, and Liu Renbiao saw that the second mansion came out to speak, presumably it was Du Tianpei's instructions, so he nodded towards Tangxia.

The ministers in the hall quickly brought up the field deed that had been copied from Cui's house.

Xu Guoqi handed over the field deed, "Please also ask the second government to take a look." ”

Tongzhi is the second official in the state capital, and he is the person who is the specific person in charge of the affairs of the palace for a long time, since no one in the hall has any objections, and Zhao Erfu has a foil in his words, Xu Guoqi is happy to push the boat.

"I also asked Xu Kongmu to go to the pavilion and get the yellow book." Looking at the Cui Jiatian deed handed over by Xu Guoqi, Zhao Tongzhi casually brought out a sentence without looking up.

"Ah......h

Almost at the same time, Xu Guoqi and Cui Chenhao shouted loudly and froze in place, attracting the surprised eyes of a circle of officials in the hall.

'What's going on?' This was the first thought of the officials in the hall when they heard the voice.

'So that's what happened?' This was Wang Xingping's first thought after hearing the voice.

'Careless. This was the first thought of Xu and Cui after they shouted.

'How could you not have thought of it?' Cui Ba only remembered at this time that this old man Zhao was born in Shanxi, and the Jin merchants in the city had a close relationship with him, and he also robbed a business in the Shanxi Hall last month, how could Zhao Maode be kind enough to help him?

The so-called Yellow Book, that is, the Yellow Book of Enlistment, is used for the registration of the imperial court, and each household, name, age, dingkou, field house, assets, etc. must be registered one by one, which is the management and registration file of the Ming Dynasty government for the locality. The Yellow Book is divided into four books, and the Household Department, the Political Division, the Prefecture, and the County have each been retained, as evidence, and the one that remains in the Household Department is yellow because the cover is yellow, so they are later collectively called the Yellow Book. Since the promulgation of Hongwu in the 20th year, the ancestral system of revising the contents of the Yellow Book every 10 years has been set, and last year coincided with the overhaul.

Of course, Cui Ba remembered that many of the fields under his name, many of the newly cultivated ones were concealed, and many of the old ones were merged at a low price in the famine year, which was not enough, there were still officials who bought the houses in the county, and did not transfer the purchased fields, and the name on the yellow book was not him, or the original owner, but the original owner was forced to sell the land and was forced to helplessly, sold the land, cut off his livelihood, and many fled.

There are also still in the local area, although the land property belongs to the Cui family, but the annual tax is still on the head of the original owner, only the land rent and the owner on the yellow book has no chance, like this ruined family business, it is also no way to ask for help, how can the dog hate the family and Cui Ba and Cui Ba behind the many officials, and they have been rectified a few times, not to flee and to be honest.

It is because although the red deed has passed the clear place, it is just a means of Cui Ba's envoy, but in order to avoid taxes, most of the names on the yellow book have not changed, and the yellow book Zunyi Mansion has the same, as long as the two are compared, the problem can be seen. At that time, either the Cui family changed their name and did not pay taxes, and there were a lot of arrears to make up for over the years, or they simply made a fake in the yellow book.

As soon as Master Zhao spoke, Cui and Xu discovered the problem.

Xu Guoqi stammered, "Erfu, this is ...... Red and deeds are real. ”

It's really necessary to compare the yellow book, Zhao Maode looked at Xu Yanmu, who was about to sweat, and his heart was funny.

…………

"This Deputy Envoy Chen is really good at choosing the time."

Still in Zeng Yang Shop, it was almost noon, there were a lot more customers in the store, and the guests at the table who had just sat down by the window in front of Wang Zhongde and others were a few students who looked like students, and this was one of them.

"Brother Siwen, what do you say?"

"You don't know yet?"

"Know what? You're making it clear. ”

"The new Futai is about to take office."

"Which one?"

"The right deputy capital of the imperial history Rao Jinghui ......"

"It's finally here."

In May last year, the former Sichuan Fuwu Yongxian begged for rest due to illness, and finally was allowed to perform seven songs, and since then, the position of Futai has been vacant for almost a year, and the DPRK and the Central Committee have finally decided on a candidate.

"I heard that His Majesty's resignation is in February, and I think it should be almost Chengdu soon."

He said that in February, there will be no mistake in nature, from the capital to Chengdu, the most convenient is to cross the Qinling Mountains from Shaanxi, and if the road goes smoothly, it should be more than a month.

"Rao Fujun was the prefect of Shunqing in the past [note: now Nanchong], and it is appropriate to be Shu Shuai now."

"But what does this have to do with Deputy Envoy Chen?"

"What does it matter? Rao Duxian was born in Nanbang. ”

A scholar next to him disagreed. "I heard that he is from Jiangxi, far away from Zhejiang."

"Brother Xian doesn't know, when Deputy Envoy Chen was in the prefect of Shaozhou before, Rao Duxian was the envoy of Guangdong, and there were many intersections in the future."

"Besides, Deputy Envoy Li has been promoted to participate in politics, doesn't Deputy Envoy Chen have any ideas?"

Li Xianpin, the former deputy envoy of Sichuan, has just been promoted to participate in politics, and this time he returned to Chengdu presumably to see the new governor, who was originally an official at the same level, but now by virtue of the investigation and correction of last year's border generals, the official rank has been promoted by half a level, and the fourth grade has become from the third grade, and Deputy Chen has no idea in his heart, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

"When a new official takes office, there are always people who are going to be unlucky."

Finally, the scholar said something meaningful, and was interrupted by his tablemate.

"Whatever you do, drink wine."

"Yes, yes, drink ......"

…………

"Xu Kongmu, this red deed has been printed in your house." Cui Ba was forced to be helpless and said cruel words.

Today's weather is cool, but Xu Guoqi's soybean-sized beads of sweat have not stopped, muttering blindly in his mouth, but he doesn't see his legs moving.

"Yellow Book, Yellow Book......"

"Xu Kongmu don't panic, maybe the yellow book forgot to register?" Standing in the hall and listening to Wang Xingping 'relieve the siege' for himself, Xu Guoqi was also messed up, only Cui Chenhao slandered in his heart, 'Isn't it enough to be a fool once'?

"Yes...... By the way, it seems that I did make a mistake during the overhaul. ”

"But I remember it."

"Indeed, I did misremember."

"Then Cui Economy said that this red deed should not be faked."

"This deed is naturally true."

After a routine, Zhao Maode also sang and harmonized with Wang Xingping, and said: "If it is verified that there is a mistake, the responsibility is not light, do you think it is true?" ”

quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, Xu Guoqi agreed quickly, and also had to make up for the taxes owed over the years, which are all the Cui family's affairs, but whether he has a heart or not is related to his own net worth, he just wants to turn this one over quickly, after all, he Xu Guoqi has done more than one Cui family in this kind of thing, but presumably Master Zhao can also understand that it is too much to involve after all, it will not end after all, after all, he will have to be an official on the ground in Zunyi in the future, and it is not beautiful to offend the local wealthy family, and he is expected to accept it if he can see it.

After weighing Cui Ba and Xu Guoqi, he listened to Wang Xingping and summarized it loudly.

"Students are courageous, today's things in the hall, try to sort it out, there is some truth to say, and please ask the county respect, the mansion and observe it."

Chen Hongsheng nodded yes, and the other officials also agreed.

"Xu Kongmu, the matter of receiving stolen goods has nothing to do with you, but Cui Economy did it alone."

Xu Guoqi nodded gratefully.

"As for the forcible occupation of people's land, it is also the Cui family's efforts, paying taxes and paying deeds, it is Confucius's responsibility, and there is nothing wrong with it, as for the matter of the Yellow Book, there is inevitably no mistake in the county's edition, but it is just a mistake to overlook, but Cui Economy knows that the Yellow Book is wrong, and he has paid taxes for these years, and he should be severely punished, and it is not enough to pay taxes alone, and it is not enough to warn the treacherous people, I don't know what Confucius thinks?"

"It's up to the masters." made it clear that he was helping himself clear up the relationship, Xu Guoqi didn't care about Cui Ba's resentful gaze, and hurriedly agreed.

"As for the smuggling of military rations, I think it's just Cui Jing's indiscriminate biting, he fabricated Wang Xiaolian's silver out of thin air, and he was worried about the incident, so he hooked up with the thief. Tens of thousands of stone of military rations, this is the sin of the whole family, and I think Kong Mu will not be confused. ”

Xu Guoqi wiped his sweat and said, "It must be framed...... It will be framed. ”

Cui Chenho knelt on the ground and trembled with anger, his teeth clenched, although he was smiling and talking, the words squeezed out between his teeth were murderous.

"Good...... Good...... Good ......"
