In the past few days, the county government has indeed recaptured the land that should have belonged to them for many people, but what made Yu Wenbin feel a little puzzled was that no one had come to sue the Xu family for encroaching on their own land, as if the Xu family had never done such a thing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But the fact is quite clear that nearly half of the two or three thousand acres of fertile land and other real estate in the Xu family's name are obtained by means of cunning and plundering. But those who were seized by them did not react at all as if they did not know that the county government had such a notice.

There must be a demon when things go wrong, just thinking about it, Lin County Ling faintly guessed the problem, it must be the people of the Xu family who intimidated those people one step earlier. And with the power of the Xu family here, their words are indeed much more useful than those of the county yamen, coupled with the psychology of ordinary people who have always been afraid of seeing officials, it is naturally normal to have such a result.

However, this is not what Lu Wenbin and Yang Zhen want to see. The Xu family is already extremely powerful, and it is not something that he can deal with with a small seven-pin county order, but now he has finally found an opportunity, if he can't continue to investigate in one go, then everything he did before will be in vain.

So after some weighing, Lu Wenbin put forward his own idea: "If they don't come, then the county government will come forward and call them here to ask for an understanding!" I don't believe it, if it's really in court, they can still lie for the Xu family! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Zhen also agreed: "This matter is also feasible. It's just that in this way, it will inevitably make the Xu family take precautions, but I don't know how they will respond. The previous time, we just took advantage of their slight enemy and won a hand, but next time we may not have this good luck. ”

Yu Wenbin nodded solemnly: "This subordinate naturally understands." But I didn't have a better choice for a while, so I had to bet on it. ”

"Then let's try it. Fortunately, we are the government, and we can always take the initiative in everything. Yang Zhen said in his mouth, but he thought of another point in his heart, in this way, he could naturally attract all the attention of the Xu family to the county government, and then his next deployment would be easier to succeed.

Early the next morning, although the people in the county yamen were full of reluctance, but the forcible assignment in Lin Zhi County, coupled with the fact that the Jinyi guards had been urging them, these slippery officials still left the yamen in groups with bitter faces, and went straight to the homes of many people inside and outside the city.

In the confusion of the people, many ordinary people were taken to the yamen. Looking at this county yamen, which looked a little dilapidated, but still magnificent, these ordinary people were so panicked that they didn't even know where to put their hands, their heads hung low, their eyes stared at the ground, and they didn't dare to look up at the county magistrate sitting above.

Seeing that the people who were called were like this, Yang Zhen had to sigh slightly. Only such a timid and fearful person would be eaten to death by a powerful bully like the Xu family. Not only were they robbed of their land and property and did not dare to report to the officials, but the government had given them a chance, and they just couldn't do it.

After frowning and sweeping over the people a few times, Yu Wenbin fixed his gaze on a man in his forties who was quite sturdy. Pointing at him with his hand, he asked, "What's your name and where do you live?" ”

was ordered by the county magistrate to point to himself, the man trembled, and then said a little hesitantly: "The little Cui Lao Wu is a farmer in Nancheng, I don't know why the eldest master suddenly ordered someone to call the little one?" The little ones have never done anything to commit adultery, that is, the annual grain tax, which is also paid in full and in a timely manner, and they dare not have the slightest arrears. ”

Lu Wenbin's face softened, and he said to him with a pleasant face: "This official didn't call you to the county government because you made any mistakes, so you don't have to be so flustered. I just heard that you have encountered injustice, so I asked you to come and ask, if this is the case, I as a parent in this county should uphold justice for you and others. Say, do you have any grievances, no matter what, this official will make the decision for you! ”

He said this kindly, but there was a hint of panic in the expressions of those people, Cui Lao Wu hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head vigorously: "Thank you for your compassion, but the villain has always lived well under the rule of the eldest master, and has never suffered any grievances......

"Really?" Seeing that the other party was so unethical and still defending the Xu family, this made Yu Wenbin's brows furrow again, and his tone was a little less kind: "Do you know that lying in front of this official is also a sin?" Once it is later found out by this official that the facts are not as you say, you can not afford to do anything. ”

As soon as he said this, these people's expressions became even more nervous, and their bodies trembled slightly. But even so, they still insisted on what they said before, and replied softly: "Master Hui, we are indeed telling the truth, and there are no grievances that need to be reported to the official." ”

"You mean that the land that was sold before was voluntary? And the price is right? Lin Zhixian's eyes flashed with a faint light, staring at the top of their heads: "Raise your face to this official!" ”

After a moment's hesitation, the people slowly raised their heads. It's just that as soon as they came into contact with the sharp eyes of the county magistrate, they felt weak again, and many of them lowered their heads again. But even so, they didn't mean to change their words.

Yang Zhen saw that this was the case, and his brows furrowed: "It seems that the Xu family has made sufficient preparations this time, and they have already controlled these people, which is really majestic!" ”

The other county officials were silent with playful expressions. They are much better informed than Yan Wenbin, and they know the preparations made by the Xu family before. And they also know something more important, maybe their own county lord will not be in this position for too long.

"Hmph, it seems that you are waiting for this to defend the Xu family to the end, this official ......" Lin Zhixian's expression became a little ugly, and he was about to play the hole cards in his hand and take them into an army, but he saw a messenger running over in a hurry and saluting him.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Yu Wenbin reprimanded: "Bold! Didn't you see that the officer was asking about the case? actually ran to the court at will, is it because the official can't punish you? ”

The officer was stunned, knowing that the county commander had finally regained some power recently, and it was the time to establish his authority, so he didn't want to touch this moldy head, so he hurriedly saluted and said: "My lord is angry, only because of the presence of the official, the little one has to come to report!" ”

"Is Shangguan coming?" When Yu Wenbin heard this, his heart sank.

Since he arrived, there have really not been a few bosses and officials in this Huating County, and even if they came, they were all from the Xu family, and it was almost impossible to meet with him as a seven-grade county commander. And today, there is a Shangguan who came to the county government in person, if he said that he had nothing to do with the Xu family, he would not believe it.

Just as he was hesitating, a middle-aged official dressed in a white pheasant complement official uniform walked over with square steps under the escort of more than a dozen soap-clothed servants. Just by looking at him like this, Yu Wenbin already recognized his identity, it was his top boss, Lord Yuan Jie Yuan, the prefect of Songjiang, who had arrived.

After only a little hesitation, Yu Wenbin had already stood up from his seat, walked out of the hall quickly, and bowed to Yuan Jie from a distance: "Xia Guan Yu Wenbin has seen the prefect, but I don't know that the Lord has suddenly arrived, and the Xia Guan has missed the welcome, and I hope to forgive the sin!" "Although I know that the person who comes is not good, but the status of both sides is here, and the number of courtesies that should be fulfilled is still indispensable.

When Yuan Jie saw Yu Wenbin, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. He was indeed a little dissatisfied with this disobedient madman subordinate who also liked to cause trouble, and it was because this guy annoyed the Xu family here that he had to put down his official business at the government office and run this trip.

But soon, he returned his expression to normal, and just waved his hand lightly: "Lin Zhixian is too polite, since you are busy asking about the case, this official will not blame you." By the way, what case are you asking? ”

"This ......" Yu Wenbin hesitated again. But after seeing the other party's uncompromising gaze, he had to say truthfully: "Xiaguan just learned that there are people in my county who are cunning and robbing, and use means to force the people to sell land and real estate at low prices. In order to give justice to the people, the lower officials have to interrogate themselves to understand. ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? If it is really as Lin Zhixian said, it is reasonable to do so. Yuan Jie said, waved his hand, and ordered the people of the county government who came out with Lu Wenbin to get up, and then slowly paced into the hall, and Yang Zhen, who was sitting on a chair with the Dama Golden Dao, looked at each other.

Yuan Jie naturally knew Yang Zhen's identity, and when he saw him like this, he didn't feel a little nervous in his heart. Jin Yiwei is not like an ordinary official, so it is better to be careful.

But he thought that he was in control of everything, and he was not afraid of Yang Zhen, so he only nodded at him slightly, and then pulled a chair and sat down: "Since Lin County ordered you to try the case, then continue." I also want to see how you questioned the case. ”

"This ......" Yan Wenbin's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment. Originally, he couldn't ask the reason from these people who were deeply threatened by the Xu family, but now that there is another prefect staring at him, it is even more impossible to gain anything.

Seeing his hesitant look, Yuan Jie squinted his eyes and looked at him and said, "What, is there anything difficult about Lin County's order?" Or is it that with the presence of the official, you can't ask about the case? ”

"The lower officials don't dare." After glancing at Yang Zhen on the other side, Yu Wenbin's heart calmed down a little, and he immediately sat down again, and said to those people: "Then how did the Xu family force Er and others to sell their land at a low price, you still don't come from the truth, and the official will make the decision for you!" ”
