Taishou Xu Chu wanted to make a fuss on the fields, and with the warmth of the beginning of summer, it rippled throughout Yingchuan.

Some people are happy and some are worried. The new official took office with three fires, the first fire was aimed at the iron ore, and just a little spark appeared, and the second fire came again. The Taishou Mansion inside the high walls was too far away for the people, and they didn't think that the fire of Taishou Xu Chu could improve their lives, but they were just curious about the wrestling between the superiors, so they just watched it. Those large and small forces are always paying attention to the wind direction of the Taishou Mansion, asking friends and friends, and the Taishou Mansion has gone up to Cao Peng to the miscellaneous officials, and there have been more socials during this time.

How do you divide the fields? What about iron ore? It's about your own vital interests, so why don't you sharpen your head and look inside.

So much so that the upcoming Fuchu concert has become a matter of great attention.

Xu Chu himself heard some rumors from his subordinates, and he postponed the deliberations again and again, just to wait and see the public opinion.

Obviously, the vast majority of people don't think that Xu Chu can handle things, and those families with right surnames are not vegetarians. Xu Chu has indeed proved that he can fight, but playing politics, where is the opponent of the Chen family and the Xun family.

However, everyone thought that Xu Chu would take the annexed good land, but they didn't know that Xu Chu had no interest in those thirty taxes at all.

He was interested in ploughing cattle, iron ore, vagrants, and ownerless wasteland. The original intention of the tuntian system for Yingchuan, which was discussed with Zaoyi, was to avoid the sensitive areas of the right surname family and seek benefits from other places.

At this stage, whether it is Zao Yi, Guo Jia, Xu Shu or Xu Chu himself, the concept of 'the right surname family is invincible' is the same.

"Tuntian Xingtie and enriching the treasury are just one of them. From this incident, it can also be judged what the attitude of the county family towards the lord is, whether it is an enemy or a friend, it can be seen. If there is hostility, where is the bottom line; If it's a friend, it's a matter of proportion. The lord needs to be careful. "No matter what happens, Guo Jia's focus is always on calculating people's hearts.

Now Xu Chu reuses the three masterminds, Guo Jia focuses on strategy, Zao is only good at political strategy, Xu Shu's characteristics are not distinct, but Wen can govern the county, Wu can lead the army, which is rare.

Xu Chu felt that what Guo Jia said was reasonable, but before the discussion, he still wanted to do more to confuse the scholars.

At this time, Chen Yi trotted over, gasping for breath, and hurriedly reported: "Lord, there is a robbery and murder case in Chengyang!" ”

……

……

Robbery and homicide? Guo Jia, Xu Shu and Zao You, who were dragged by Xu Chu to Chengyang together, were puzzled. In the Han Dynasty, the people were fierce, and it was not uncommon for the heads of the Qians to fight with each other to the point of death and injury. But this kind of case is generally investigated by the local pavilion chief, who really can't handle it, and reports it level by level, but it rarely alarms Taishou.

Xu Chu heard that the training was coming, and in the eyes of Guo Jia and the others, there was a lot of trickiness among them, and this theft and murder case was not so simple.

Chengyangli is in the east of Yanling County, there are more than 100 households in the village, and it is only 20 minutes away from Taishou Mansion. As soon as Xu Chu and his entourage arrived, the people in the room shook and gathered one after another.

Chen Yi led dozens of guards to line up the people and asked loudly, "Where is the local pavilion chief?!" ”

The pavilion chief of the jurisdiction had already arrived with his subordinates begging for thieves and pavilion guards, but he was blocked by the people, and as soon as Chen Yi shouted, he struggled to squeeze out of the crowd, and said tremblingly: "Cheng Long, the head of the local pavilion, has seen the princes of the mansion and the princes. ”

Because of the death of a mile of people in the robbery and killing that alarmed Taishou, Cheng Long had never heard of it, let alone being too guarded, and the county orders rarely came to the scene in person. Most of the people who came were county thieves, and there were officials at the rank level in the township.

It's too much of a fuss.

While sneering, he was busy talking about what he had learned. The ins and outs of the matter are very simple, Li Min A's family is short of food, and the old mother has not eaten grain of rice for three days, so she asks Li Min B for help; Li Min B ignored it, Li Min A held a grudge, and argued with Li Min B in the morning, and the two sides did not give in to each other until they scuffled, and finally B was killed by A.

Hearing this, Guo Jia, Xu Shu and the others wondered again, "What does the lord mean by this?" Do you have to take care of such a small thing about sesame mung beans? ”

But seeing Xu Chu ask Xiang Pavilion Chief Cheng Long, "Where is the criminal now?" ”

Cheng Long replied: "I have asked the thief to go to his house to arrest him." ”

Xu Chu asked Chen Yi to open the way and rushed directly to the criminal's house. After half a pillar of incense, he happened to see the thief in the pavilion at the criminal's house and tied him up, Xu Chu stopped the person and tried the case in public.

The culprit was a young man named Cheng Wu, with a yellow face and thin muscles, ragged clothes, black mud in the cracks of his fingernails, and cracked calluses on his palms.

In addition to the appearance of a young man, his whole body is as haggard as an old farmer who has worked in the fields for decades.

When everyone saw it, they all sighed and were sad.

Xu Chu walked into his home, the house was dilapidated, the house was surrounded by walls, and the only valuable belongings were a large vat and a wooden bed. Cheng Wu's mother was lying on the bed, and after Xu Chu came in, she didn't realize it, and the only pair of eyes in the scrawny room looked blankly at the windy roof.

After asking, I learned that the old man was deaf and had been lying in bed for more than ten years. Her son, Cheng Wu, is an only son, who worked in the fields before he was ten years old and supported this dilapidated family independently.

Xu Chu immediately went out, looked at Cheng Wu with pity, and said, "Are you guilty?" ”

Cheng Wu lowered his head, his lips moved, and his voice was inaudible.

Xu Chu asked Cheng Long again what the situation was at the deceased's family, and Cheng Long replied: "It's slightly better than the criminal's family." ”

Xu Chu sighed, and at this time, the thief Cao Pengzhongjin arrived on horseback. Taishou went to Cheng Yangli in person, and it didn't take long for him to get the news, so he naturally had to chase after him quickly.

After Zhong Jin arrived, Xu Chu waited for him to understand the situation and asked, "How should Zhong Jun deal with it?" ”

Zhong Jin said that the prince of the house is here, and it should be disposed of by the king.

Xu Chu snorted coldly: "Although this matter is small, it can also be seen that the people in the county are already in dire straits. Zhong Jun, as a thief Cao Peng, you have handled many cases, why don't you report this public sentiment to the county? ”

Zhong Jin was sweating, and in the face of Xu Chu's questioning, he only promised and kept confessing. Xu Chu knew that his ability was limited, so he put this 'sin of wanting to add' on Zhong Jin's head. Of course, he couldn't go too far on the line, and immediately ordered Zhong Jin to bring Cheng Wu back, and agreed with Menxia Juncao on a certain day.

……

……

After Zhong Jin returned to the Taishou Mansion, he couldn't calm down for a long time. Xun Chen passed by his office and saw that his face was unhappy, so he asked.

Zhong Jin said it truthfully, the speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Xun Chen asked, "Does the criminal have a field to cultivate at home?" ”

Zhong Jin said: "If there are acres of land, why should you be destitute and kill people in order to get some food." ”

"That's it." Xun Chen said with a smile, "It seems that the prince of the government wants to use this case as an excuse to propose his decree." It's a good calculation......"

Zhong Jin still couldn't understand what Xun Chen was saying, and was at a loss. Xun Chen was very disappointed in Zhong Yan and Zhong Jin, if Zhong Yuan was always there, how could he be in the company of such mediocre talents.
