Yikes! We did a random spot check, and we even caught a big fish, which shows how bastard the previous accounts were. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Lin Yi pointed to the names written in the account book and asked: "Look, in addition to the twenty-five people in your family, there are also Huang Qi, Huang Tianjun, Huang Shiren, and Lu Da, all of whom are affiliated with your family's name, and you don't even know about these?" ”

Huang Shishen said with a blank face: "I don't know! They are all distant brothers of my family, and I never knew of anyone who attached their property to my family's name. ”

Lin Yihan lowered his face and shouted in a deep voice: "Someone! The scribe of the Missionary Office called for confronting him. ”

After a while, a scribe in his fifties was brought in, and when he saw Lin Yi's face, he knelt down and begged: "My lord, forgiveness, this ...... These are all relatives of their Huang family, and they entrusted me to be attached to the name of the Huang Mansion! ”

Lin Yi said angrily: "It's all you who waited for these moths, so that the poor people paid more taxes, and the relatives of the Huang family who were cheating and cheating got benefits, come here!" Immediately take him down, hand him over to Zhang Tuiguan for strict interrogation, and ask him how many people are still hidden by him and pay less taxes! ”

Several of the officials agreed, and escorted the hapless scribe out.

Lin Yi was angry again: "Immediately take down the four heads of the family who evaded taxes and concealed their property, Huang Qi, Huang Tianjun, Huang Shiren, and Lu Da, tortured them, and pursued the arrears in previous years." There is also this mansion to present this book to the emperor, and the grievances suffered by the Huang gentry's family will be known to the saints today! ”

When the gentry heard this, his face immediately turned blue and white, and his eyes changed. This Huang Qi, Huang Tianjun, and Huang Shiren are all distant brothers of his family, and this Lu Da is still his brother-in-law, and they often come and go on weekdays. And he, the initiator of the chrysalis, has not been scolded to death, even in front of his wife, he is not easy to deal with! There is also the matter of playing the book to the emperor, if the saint knows that there are so many people in his family who are attached to his name and evade taxes, how can he be the younger brother of the imperial history, and he will not be guilty of failing to investigate, I am afraid that it will seriously affect his official career and future in the future. Ah! I've stabbed a hornet's nest, and I can't tell the prefect to do anything! Besides, the rent and interest are reduced, and there is not much silver in his own family, so why bother to compete with the prefect? Huang Shishen made up his mind, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down, and said with a smile: "Adults are angry, adults are angry!" Now that I have figured it out, this matter of rent reduction and interest reduction and clearing of acres of land, our Huang family is in favor of raising both hands! With that, there was a look of determination on his face.

Lin Yi looked at him and smiled, "Mr. Huang, have you thought about it?" This rent reduction and interest reduction will make your family earn less money! ”

Huang Shishen hurriedly nodded and said: "I have thought about it, I have thought about it, it is a great thing to reduce rent and interest to benefit the country and the people, and please raise your noble hand and let go of a few distant clan brothers in my family!" ”

"Which Luda?" Lin Yi asked with a smile again.

Huang Shigentry's face turned red, and he squeaked: "He is my wife's brother, please also be gracious!" With that, he bowed down and gave a big salute.

Lin Yi said with a smile: "This pursuit of arrears still has to be done." However, we assure you that as long as they pay their arrears in a timely manner, they will not be held responsible. ”

Huang Shishen breathed a long sigh of relief, and stood next to him and didn't dare to say a word, for fear of causing any more trouble to himself.

Lin Yi looked at one of them with his eyes, pointed at him with his finger and said, "Someone!" I tied up this gentleman, tortured him, and asked him about the crime of gangsterry! ”

"Your Excellency has wronged! Xiaomin has always been peaceful, and he has never been a bandit! The squire was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and kept kowtowing.

Lin Yi sneered: "You once told me in person that you pay taxes at two ends, one to the imperial court, and the other to the bandits of Qinglong Mountain. You are so bold that you paid the grain tax to the bandits, isn't this blatantly funding the bandits and helping them to kill the people? May I ask which article of the imperial court allows you to pay taxes to bandits? Officer, don't talk to him too much, take him down for me, put him in a black prison, and wait for the big punishment! ”

"Your Excellency, forgiveness!" When the squires heard this, their faces turned pale with fright, and they immediately surrounded them, knelt down in a large area, and begged Lin Yi to spare which gentry. The gentry around Qinglong Mountain basically pay taxes to the bandits on the mountain, if the prefect is like this, will everyone still have a way to live?

A few clever people immediately shouted, "My lord! We have all figured it out, and unanimously support the wise decision of the adults, reduce rent and interest, cooperate with the adults to complete the matter of clearing the acres of land, and pay the autumn grain on time! ”

"Hmph" These guys are really cheap, if they don't give them some color, they won't bow their heads, it seems that just saying good things can't be done! You have to grab braids, carrots and sticks together. Lin Yi had a smile on his face and said lightly: "Get up!" This government also knows that you are forced, but which gang of bandits in Qinglong Mountain, this government will find a way to solve them as soon as possible, and will not ask you to pay taxes at both ends of the grain, but this rent reduction and interest reduction, please trouble all the gentry here to take the lead, sign this volunteer book, and set an example! As he spoke, he took a letter of application that had already been written and asked them to sign it.

The gentry hesitated, and there was still some hesitation on their faces. Lin Yi sighed and said earnestly: "Are you willing to engage in this rent reduction and interest reduction and clear the acres of land?" This is all the inaction of the previous prefect, allowing some inferior gentry to pass on the land rent that should have been paid by themselves to the poor people! The poor people are living too hard and have reached the limit of patience, but seeing the bumper grain harvest this autumn, some inferior gentry are still chasing after the rent arrears of previous years and forcing the poor hired peasants to a dead end. This government is also for your own good, asking everyone to make a step and make the poor peasants live better. Otherwise, if they are bewitched by Maitreya's bandits, they rebel, rob your land, and kill your family, I am afraid that you will not be able to find a place even if you want to cry. ”

"Adults are taught! I waited for the previous stupidity, but now I understand, and I will sign it immediately! Several gentry came and signed it, and drew it. With them taking the lead, the other gentry also stepped forward one after another, signed their names on the volunteer book, and pressed their own handprints.

After everyone signed and finished drawing, Lin Yi laughed and said: "All the gentry are enlightened gentlemen of our Zhengding Mansion, next, I will ask someone to write good news, and hang it at everyone's door, village head, and street corner to show recognition, I wish you all good health and a lot of wealth!" Now please drink this adult's tea, it is the best dragon well before the rain! ”

"Yes...... Be...... Thank you for the tea! The gentry said unconcernedly. Many people are in pain in their hearts, this cup of tea is so expensive! All of a sudden, I said that I had a lot less silver in my pocket! Ay! I hope you don't ask for tea anymore, we can't afford it!
