"Ji Jun Cheng 6 Yu is in the county Gong Cao, thieves catch oak horses, step bow year," Xiao Hou only got the news, shocked and angry, he didn't expect Chen Caozhi to dare to check the He manor, and he didn't expect Dai Shu to be so supportive, the He family is the first family in Shanyin, Dai Shu offended the He family, and the internal history of the Ji will not be done for long!

6 He went to Dai Shu in a big way, and asked Dai Shu why he acted arbitrarily without consulting him on such a great matter. Dai Shu replied that it was Chen Caozhi's request, and he was just adhering to the edict of Shang Shutai to assist in the destruction of the earth.

6 Yu knew that it was useless to argue with Dai Shu now, and said coldly: "If this provokes a popular uprising, Dai Neishi Mo will shirk the responsibility!" After that, he brushed his sleeves and drove to He's Manor, six or seven miles out of the city, and met Chen Caozhi, Xie Daoyun, and Ran Sheng in a queue and returned

6 Yu stopped and watched, and saw the sergeants under Ran Sheng pushing and shoving a few He's villagers. Xin said: "Chen Caozhi went to the He Manor to search the hidden household, why did he rush back, only arrested these few people, and walked towards the He family to demonstrate, forgive Chen Caozhi for what ability he has to comprehensively search the He Manor!" ”

6 Yu put down the curtain, and only after Chen Caoyi passed before continuing to move towards He's Manor, how did things get to the manor, I knew when I asked, I didn't expect to be out of half a mile, I met He Sui, He Zhu's uncle and nephew, both of them were pale and angry, and only after asking did I know that Chen Caozhi had taken away the three stewards and pawns of the He Manor who managed the household registration book.

He Sui said anxiously: "The 6 counties promise to try to redeem it on behalf of my He family, then Chen Caozhi must have obtained Huan Wen's secret order, and he wants to take my He and Liwei!" ”

6 Yu was secretly annoyed that He's uncle and nephew were useless, and they were actually arrested by Chen Caozhi for the key stewards and pawns, and said hatefully: "This is all because my Jiangdong Shi clan can't work together, the Yu family and the Wei family gave in to Chen Caozhi, so Chen Caozhi dared to treat the He family so harshly." ”

At this time, I suddenly saw a He steward hurrying to the scene with two dusty villagers. He Zhu saw that these two Zhuang Ke were sent by him to Qian Tang to inquire about the trial of the Chen family's land occupation case, and hurriedly asked what the news was? A Zhuang Ke said: "Wenji, who is engaged in Zhizhong, has come out of Yangzhou, and will come to Qiantang with Bo and Fa Cao, the lord of Wu County, to try the case of Chen's occupation of land, and it is estimated that he will arrive in Qiantang at the end of this month and early next month."

He Zhu waved his hand to let the three of them retreat, and said to 6 Li: "Brother Zishan, the Chen family's case of occupying land has not yet been tried, but my He family's case of hiding hidden households is going to be first, how can this be good?" Chen Caozhi wants to drag my He family to suffer together. ”

6 Yu paced under the weeping poplar on the side of the road, thinking of countermeasures, this matter was too hasty, I couldn't wait to inform my father 6 Shi before making a decision, I must make a decision immediately, 6 I can't watch He Shi being punished in this soil break, because what He did in the soil break is related to his 6 family, out of the 6 family instigated by the father and son, we must try to ensure that He Shi is not guilty, otherwise 6 will not be able to escape the blame.

6 Yu paced back and forth for a long time, and discussed secretly with He Sui and He Zhu's uncle and nephew for a while, and the three of them came to the county town together, and learned that the three He stewards and pawns were not imprisoned in the prison for crimes, but were taken to the county station, and now the Huiji county post has become the official office of Chen Caozhi and Zhu Yingtai.

He Zhu frowned and said, "Then Chen Caozhi has already interrogated my He family's plan and wants to take a confession." ”

6 Yu said: "It doesn't matter whether we take a confession or not, this time we were careless, I didn't expect Chen Caozhi to dare to be so ruthless, he thinks that the He family is isolated and helpless in Huiji, Dao Fang." There you go

6 Yu and He Sui went to see Dai Shu, and Dai Shu, according to the original agreement with Chen Caozhi and Zhu Yingtai, pushed the matter to Chen and Zhu, and asked 6 Yu and He Sui to go and tell Chen Caozhi.

Na He Zhu brought a few servants to the county post to see Chen Caozhi, and the county post dean went to report, and soon came out to ask the He Sheren to meet.

He Zhuyuan was still a little worried that Chen Caozhi would refuse to see him, but this Pingzi was a little more settled, straightened his clothes, and entered with his chest held high.

Chen Caozhi and Xie Daoyun stood under the corridor of the hall and bowed their hands to He Zhu, there was no shortage of courtesies, they were calm and cold, and they invited He Zhu to sit down in the hall, and the waiter offered tea.

He Zhu was not in the mood to talk nonsense, and said: "Chen Zuojian, there are some important matters that I want to talk to Chen Zuojian alone, and I glanced at Xie Daoyun.

Chen Caozhi said: "If the people of He She are talking about official affairs, I wish the deputy envoy to be with him, if he is talking about private affairs, Brother Yingtai and you and I are classmates, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

He Zhu snorted lightly, and said: "I came here to make peace with Chen Zuo, if Chen Zuojian releases my three stewards of the He family, my He family will hand over another four hundred hidden households" Speaking of this, he looked at Chen Caozhi, saw that Chen Caozhi was silent, and said: "My He family can also help the Qian Tang Chen family tide over a difficult time."

Xie Daoyun sneered in his heart: "The He family really used the Chen family's land occupation case to blackmail Zizhong, and said that he wanted to help the Qian Tang Chen family tide over the difficulties, which is really funny."

Chen Caozhi raised his eyebrows, "oh" and said, "I don't know what difficulties my Chen family has?" ”

He Zhu saw that Chen Caozhi still looked indifferent, he was really annoyed, and thought: "You Chen family disaster is coming but you don't know it, and you want me to mention you, this should have been you Chen Caozhi came to beg me, now:," As far as I know, Yangzhou Zhizhong is engaged in Wen Ji and Wujun Xinyuan, Fa Cao Zhu Bajing is Qian Tang, Wen Zhizhong is related to the Ru Chen family, of course, it may be a good thing for the Ru Chen family. ”

He Zhu also wanted to hang Chen Caozhi's appetite, and wanted Chen Caozhi to ask about it, but Chen Caozhi nodded, and said: "My Chen family is generous and benevolent, and there are many deeds for the benefit of the township. ”

He Zhu laughed angrily, sneered endlessly, and finally said: "Qian Tang Chen's bending the law and breaking the ban, the people are very angry, Wen Zhi Zhongxia Qian Tang is here to investigate this matter, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to Qian Tang to ask the county order Feng Mengxiong, have you received the documents?" ”

Chen Caozhi nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, I will send someone back to ask." ”

He Zhu was really annoyed when he saw that Chen Caozhi was silent again, Chen Caozhi didn't know what to do, but he couldn't walk away, so he had to say again: "Chen Zuojian, I, the He family, can resolve this matter for the Ru Chen family, and the Jiangzuo clan will be safe."

Chen Caozhi's face showed a sarcastic look, the He family wanted to frame him, and now he used this to threaten him, which was really despicable, and said coldly: "Right and wrong have their own judgment, if my Chen family really violates the law, then let Wen Zhizhong deal with it." ”

He Zhu was stunned, and then he was extremely angry, and he became angry, and said loudly: "Okay, I want to see what you Chen Caozhi can do to me, which one of the Qian Tang Chen clan or my Shanyin He clan will collapse first!" "Stride out.

Xie Daoyun said: "Zizhong seems to be a little rash today, why bother fighting with such people!" ”

Chen Cao smiled and nodded: "Brother Yingtai is right, but the He family's plan cannot be released, and I and the He family are on the verge of becoming a fire and water, and I don't want to talk to He Zhu too much." ”

Na He cast out the county post and rushed to the apartment of 6 Yu on the bank of Lixi, 6 Yu and He Sui were waiting for his news, and when they heard him talk about the meeting with Chen Caozhi, 6 Yu and He Sui both looked gloomy.

He Sui said: "Chen Caozhi seems to have no fear, why? ”

6 Yu Wei groaned and said: "Immediately send someone to Qiantang quickly, and let people immediately complain to the county about Chen's illegal occupation of land, don't let Chen Caozhi be prepared, and Wenji is almost there." ”

That night, Ran Sheng, who was in charge of the interrogation, and Huiji County Tingxiang learned from the three He stewards and pawns that there were 1,500 hidden households in the He manor

Early the next morning, Shi Dai Shu ordered Chen Caozhi's three letters to be sent to Jiankang as soon as possible, and now he is waiting for the imperial court to deal with He's reply.

On the 27th of the winter month, Ni Taibin, a small official of the Qian Tang Dynasty, accused the Chen family of encroaching on official land, forcibly buying self-cultivated farmland, and forcing the homesteaders to become Chen's tenants and hired farmers.

On the 29th, Wen Ji and Wu County were responsible for the main book of the money and grain, Fa Cao and his party of more than 30 people arrived in Qiantang, that is, began to try the case of Chen's occupation of the field, Wen Ji is the son of the Wen family in Taiyuan, and Xi has a close relationship, before coming to Qian Tang, Wen Ji has obtained Xi's book, Xi asked Wen Ji to be impartial and judgmental, after Wen Ji interrogated the witnesses, and checked the Qian Tang Chen's books and fields, there was no so-called violation of the law accused by Ni Taibin and others, but there were constantly tenant villagers to ask for Chen's life, praising Chen's benevolence and righteousness to benefit the people; Ge Hong's disciple, Li Shouyi, a Taoist of the Chuwan Taoist Academy, asked to see Wen Ji, and said that the Chen family invested in medicine to treat the people, and Wen Ji personally visited several Chen tenants, and the Chen family was generous

Wen Ji immediately interrogated Ni Taibin and the other two farmers who sued the Chen family, but Ni Taibin did not expect that things would become like this, so he panicked, and the other two former Chu tenants also panicked, and quickly confessed, saying that they were instigated by Ni Taibin and a steward of the Shanyin He family to frame the Chen family

During this period, 6 Yu and He Zhu had rushed to Qian Tang to visit Wen Ji, Wen Ji knew the intention of the two of them, and did not say much, and let the witness confession, Chen's books and the recorded praise of the villagers to 6 and He, 6 Yu knew that Wen Ji's intention was irreparable, and he couldn't say anything if he pleaded for mercy, and he was even more afraid of humiliation, so he said goodbye to He Zhu.

On the third day of the lunar month, Xie Xuan, who had completed the review of the land break in Wuxing County, came to Shanyin to see Chen Caozhi and his sister Xie Daoyun. ”

On the seventh day of the lunar month, Shangshutai issued an edict to the Huiji County Bureau, which would send the head of the He family, He Sui, into Jiankang to ask for the guilt, and strictly ordered the He family to hand over 1,500 hidden households within ten days, and the rest of the cases were tried by the Wenji Association of Yangzhou Zhizhong and the Huiji Neishi Dai Shu.

Wen Ji finished the trial of Chen's Zhantian case in Qiantang and imprisoned Ni Taibin and others, even if he rushed to the meeting to try the case of He's hiding and concealing households.
