Zhu Yingtai was overwhelmed by the hermit of He's dragging his son, and at that time, 6 Gong also said: "Chen Caozhi is leisurely, and he has not returned to visit Diandao so far." "I didn't expect Chen Caozhi to appear in the Qi family's manor early this morning, and regardless of the dignity of the Shi clan, he wanted to check the He family's hidden household.

He Zhu was furious and said loudly: "Chen Caozhi, forgive the nine pins of the Ru District, dare to bully my He family's door, my ancestor Yan is the first duke, the official is the Sikong, the opening of the palace is the same as the three divisions, there is a great contribution to the Sheji, who is not admired in the Manchu Dynasty!" And Ru Zu was still cultivating in Qian Tang at that time, you climbed the Huan family, vainly paid attention to the scholars, disturbed the rank of the scholars, and wanted to marry 6 daughters, you still know that there is still shame in the world, the second prison! ”

He Zhu's self-questioning words are extremely sharp, although he despises and hates Chen Caozhi, but the two have never debated face-to-face, they used to study in Xu's thatched cottage in Wu County, the two almost did not speak, He Zhu called himself a famous disciple, and disdained to be with Chen Caozhi, so although he heard that Chen Caozhi was good at arguing, he was not afraid, and he was full of self-questioning, and he wanted to humiliate Chen Caozhi and make Chen Caozhi speechless.

Chen Caozhi's expression was calm, and he asked calmly: "Who are you talking about Yan Xiangong?" Could it be that he is a person who has been praised for a generation and has been praised for thousands of years? ”

He Sui, He Zhu's uncle and nephew listened to Chen Caozhi's tone quite respectfully, He Sui Han 1 laughed, disdainfully answered, Shanyin He Xun, Emperor Yuan's important minister, people don't know!

He Zhuleng "hummed" and said: "Naturally, it is my ancestor Yan's father, who is the first-class person in Jiangdong for a hundred years, how can this be dreamed of by the three generations of your Chen family!" ”

He Xun had passed away forty years ago, but the Fa Cao of Huiji County, Shanyin County, and the thief Hunting Peng who were present all knew He Sikong's virtuous name, and at this time, seeing He Zhu talking about his ancestor He Xun domineeringly, they all felt that it was a bit reckless to follow Chen Caozhi to search the He family's manor, how could such a family be offended!

Xie Daoyun saw that Chen Caozhi pretended not to know, but he had already guessed Chen Caozhi's thoughts, and secretly praised: "Zizhong's method of suppressing first and then Yang, and wanting to capture the old and indulge is wonderful. When he looked at Chen Caozhi with impromptu interest, to see how he first insulted He Sui and He Zhu's uncle and nephew in his words?

Chen Caozhi was calm and did not be angry with He Zhu's insulting words, but said to He Zhu: "He Sikong, who was old and loyal and diligent, was actually Ruzu, and I really didn't expect it to be unbelievable!" ”

He Zhu was furious, his face turned red, and he asked angrily: "Chen Caozhi, what do you mean by this!" ”

He Sui, who was over fifty years old, also said angrily: "Chen Caozhi, you insulted your father, my He family and you don't share the sky, I want to accuse you to the state university Zhongzheng and Da Situ!" ”

Chen Caozhi's voice rose suddenly, and he said loudly: "In the next long time to admire the name of He Sikong, the He family has been famous for being good at etiquette since the Later Han Dynasty, He Sikong is a county scholar, known as Confucianism, his words and deeds will be courteous one by one If He Sikong is alive, he will be ordered to take the lead in implementing the decree of the imperial court, how can he do the seizure of the clothes of the hidden household and the rule of the county!" How could they come here to search for hidden households, and make a lot of trouble! ”

He Sui and He Zhu were stunned when they heard this, and they were speechless for a while.

Chen Caozhi's words are like a waterfall straight down: "Yongjia Nandu, Jin suffocation is biased, He Sikong is great and not to say, in the next order on He Sikong for the benefit of Huiji Xiangzi merits try to say one or two, He Sikong once served as Huiji internal history, during his tenure, inspect the terrain, move the people, dig the west from Xiling, through Xiaoshan, Qianqing, Keqiao to the county canal, and then organize the people to repair other rivers connected with this, forming a criss-cross water network, so that the original rivers can circulate with each other, adjust the water level, not afraid of drought and flood, to ensure the needs of farmland irrigation, improve the water conservancy function of Jianhu Lake, to the 600,000 people of Huiji to irrigation, boating, breeding, fishery, the people are still grateful to He Sikong Ende As soon as he said this, Chen Caozhi's voice became more agitated: "But after He Sikong died, what did the people of the Ruhe clan do to Keshao Jiqiu!" Determined to expand He's field for business, around the lake to make fields, to Jianhu Lake greatly reduced, Jianhu Lake to resist flood disasters of the effect of greatly reduced, rough statistics, in the past 20 years, He's total of more than 400 hectares of land around the lake, other Shishu clans, see He's and the lake for land, have followed suit, compared with the Jianhu Lake 50 years ago, three minus one, once in the drought year, Jianhu Lake due to insufficient water storage, irrigation is naturally less, its loss is not a thousand hectares of land can be compared! ”

At this time, listening to Chen Caozhi say this, whether it is the horse step archers of the county or the Zhuang Ke of the He family, they all feel that Chen Caozhi is right, and the descendants of He Sikong are really far from him.

Chen Caozhi said again, "Born as a citizen of the Jin Kingdom, it is the duty to pay taxes and serve, and the Ruhe family has hundreds of shade households given by the imperial court, but they still have to hide it privately. The people, competing with the country for profit, such acts, can the "Great Dai Li Ji" explain it?" Can the Little Dai Li Ji explain it? And Shangshutai has an edict, this time the land is broken, the hidden households detected are first used in the county to build water conservancy, is to prepare for the defense of natural disasters, and Ru He's family, obstructed the land in every way, He's field property, Wei's, Kong's have handed over seven hundred hermits, and He's only handed over four hundred hermits, and deliberately instigated the hermits to go to the county to make trouble, and drove the hermits out of the manor, let them go to the county to find Dai Neishi, Zhu deputy envoy for food and clothing, this cold and freezing time, those hermits dragged their children, and the cry was endless, He's such actions, Do you dare to claim to be a Shili heirloom! ”

Hundreds of people stood still on the open ground of He's Manor, silent.

He Sui and He Zhu had cold sweat on their foreheads, this Chen Caozhi's words were too sharp, and he caught the ancestor of the He family, He Xunren, who loved the people, compared with today, so that the He uncle and nephew opened their mouths and answered speechlessly, the uncle and nephew looked at each other, He Zhu was young, first relieved himself, and argued strongly: "To say that my He family is fighting for land from Jianhu Lake, this is slander, Jianhu Lake water retreats, and the grass is reckless, what is wrong with my He family organizing households to reclaim fertile land?" If you want to talk about the former water area of the lake, Wang Yishao's Lanting Yaji is also in the tide.

Chen Caozhi said: "Do you have a lake and a field in recent years to visit the county master book, Lilu father, just this month, He's is still building embankments and surrounding the tide, He Daofang, you can be said to be talking nonsense with your eyes open!" ”

Xie Daoyun had a smile on his lips, and Zizhong suddenly said a slang sentence, which was really funny, but everyone present was solemn, and no one dared to laugh.

The He uncle and nephew originally thought that the He family was full of vigor, Chen Caozhi led people to trespass on the He family's manor, and the He family had to severely punish Chen Caozhi when he went to Situ Mansion, but now after listening to Chen Caozhi's very infectious eloquence, he couldn't help but be discouraged, He Sui arched his hand and said: "Chen Zuojian, please come to the hall to speak." ”

He Sui seems to have the intention of asking for peace and giving in, but Chen Caozhi now does not plan to give up, he will judge the land, it is necessary to punish a family to establish authority, and at this time, the time limit has passed, and it is too late for the He family to make up for the hermitage, not to mention that the He family is planning to frame him Chen to occupy the field, so that Chen Caozhi cannot turn over, and when will he not be severely punished at this time!

Chen Caozhi said lightly: "Please call the steward and pawn of Guizhuang to Heneshi, and have a few words to say." ”

He Zhu saw that his uncle took the initiative to invite Chen Caozhi into the hall to talk, but Chen Caozhi ignored it coldly, and became angry again: "Chen Caozhi, don't be ignorant, my uncle is kind to you, you dare to be rude!" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "How dare you, there are some things that don't need to be bothered by Dai Neishi, just ask the steward and the pawn of your village to speak." As he said this, his eyes swept over the faces of the group of senior deacons behind He's uncle and nephew, and he had a plan in his heart.

He Zhu said angrily: "Chen Caozhi, do you want to check my He family name?" Don't! ”

Chen Caozhi knew that it was very difficult for hundreds of people on his side to search for hidden households in the He Manor within a radius of more than ten miles, and it was also difficult to find out the household registration of D yuan, so he turned his head and said to Ran Sheng: "Xiao Sheng, invite those three people to the county for questioning." The hand nodded at the three people behind He Sui.

Ran Sheng responded like thunder, and with a wave of his hand, the six sergeants under his command rushed forward and pulled out the three senior deacons of the He clan pointed out by Chen Caozhi.

He Sui and He Zhu looked at it and were shocked, these three people were the stewards and pawns of Zhuang Shang's management of the Tianshu family, how could Chen Caozhi recognize the three of them!

Chen Caoyi arched his hand: "He Neishi, I will say goodbye." Turning around, Ran Sheng led the horse in one hand and held the oak stick in the other, and looked at the group of He's private soldiers i1 with contempt and slowly retreated.

He Sui's mouth was dry, at this time, if he ordered the manor to take Chen Caozhi and the others down, it would inevitably fight, and it would be even more impossible to clean up, this hesitation, Chen Caozhi's more than 100 people had already withdrawn from the He manor, and there was only a vacant land left in front of him.

He Zhu hurriedly said: "Uncle, those three pawns know the details of my manor, how can they be taken away by Chen Caozhi!" ”

He Sui also felt that his heart was in turmoil, he didn't expect things to come to this point, he pulled his beard and turned around two naps on the spot, and shouted: "Prepare the car, I want to go to the county to see Dai Shu and 6 gongs, Dao Fang, you go too." ”

He Zhu also had no idea at this time, and he was anxious to find 6 gongs to be the master, and the uncle and nephew hurriedly got into the ox cart, took more than ten private soldiers and servants, and followed Chen Caozhi to the county.

Xie Dao approached Chen Caozhi and said with a smile: "How can it be a mistake to talk about the difficulty of debating, Zizhong is talented and eloquent, making the He uncle and nephew speechless, which is really pleasant to hear." ”

Chen Caozhi said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Yingtai, for telling me about He Sikong last night." ”

Xie Daoyun said: "There is one more thing, Zizhong must not know, the Huiji He clan is a southerner, why do you also learn from the northerners?" Because of the Tao: "Chen Min, the minister of the 6th country of Guangzhou, made a mess, falsely claiming that there was an edict from the emperor, and let He Xun serve as the internal history of Danyang, He Xun resigned on the grounds that he had a leg ulcer, and he took cold food and scattered, and covered his head and body, saying that he could not be appointed again, Chen Min finally did not dare to communicate with each other.
