In the end, Fan Jinyan repeatedly asked and found out that this cypress forest was planted by order of the government, and it was said that it was used by sailors for shipbuilding.

He also decreed that if the tree died, did not grow well, or was missing, the caretaker should not only pay compensation according to the price, but also go to prison for punishment.

This forest was planted three years ago, and the villagers have been careful to take care of it, not letting a single tree die, and it looks like it is about to become a forest, but they never thought that a large area was cut down.

If the government knows about this, the whole village will not want to run, if it is not good, it will have to fall to the ground.

Can the villagers not be in a hurry?

Can money buy lives?

Fan Jinyan didn't think about anything else, but it was incredible, I had heard of Ma Zheng harshly before, but I didn't expect that there was no Ma Zheng here, but Shuzheng.

It's just ridiculous, child's play.

Who can guarantee that the tree planted will live? Whether a tree is good or not is not up to the government to decide, it is clear that the local government is an excuse to defraud the people of their money.

"Rest assured, folks, the government will not trouble you, and in the future, you will not be forced to plant trees. Even if the imperial court wants to build ships, it will spend money to buy them from you. Fan Jinyan said.

However, his words did not make these villagers excited, but they all had questioning expressions, and the leader continued: "Who are you? What do we judge and believe you? You'd better go with us. ”

"Official?" I don't know when Han Yaxuan and Liang Xiangru also squeezed to the front and stood on both sides of Fan Jinyan. Among them, Han Yaxuan heard this and responded arrogantly: "Our lord is an official, and he is still the biggest official in Yazhou City, come and sue!" We took it. ”

Is this man an official?

Yazhou's biggest official?

Could it be the new governor?

"You, you're the new Lord Zhizhou?" The villagers used honorific titles, but in that tone, they still didn't believe Han Yaxuan's words.

Fan Jinyan didn't intend to hide it, so he asked someone to get his seal and order, and read it out on the spot.

These villagers have seen any orders and seals, and they don't understand the order, but they all believe it in the end anyway, and they bow down very honestly, "The grass people have seen Lord Zhizhou." ”

Fan Jinyan pulled up the leading villager and said with a smile: "Are you credible now?" ”

"My lord, you really won't want us to plant trees anymore?" Shuzheng has been prevalent in Qiongzhou for more than ten years, and many people have been ruined and displaced because of this. Now that they say they won't plant, can the villagers not be excited?

But before he could get excited, someone in the crowd asked, "Dare to ask your lordship, but the prefect ordered it to be canceled?" ”

It can be seen that He Yi has been in office for more than ten years, and his strong and domineering behavior has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and almost as long as he gives the order, no one dares to disobey.

Fan Jinyan wanted to lie, but he didn't dare. If you use lies to deceive the villagers now, even if they are well-intentioned, even if you unify Qiongzhou in the future, the people will not dare to believe your own words.

Thinking of this, Fan Jinyan shook his head and said, "This is not what Lord Futai meant. ”

When the words fell, seeing the people's sighs and lost expressions, he continued: "But you can rest assured, the first thing the official of the tree administration did when he took office was to cancel the tree administration. Today's affairs are borne by the official, so you don't need to worry. ”

Judging from the expressions of the villagers, no one believed his words, which shows that he has been exploited by He Yi for too long, and has lost confidence in the court and the future.

However, Fan Jinyan was not discouraged, he believed that these people would believe in him one day, and they would fight with him with all their hearts.

The next day, Fan Jinyan sprinkled the commandos under him again, asking them to find out the details of Li Tong and Cheng Xuan and what they had done before.

And he himself was not idle, and took his two daughters to the nearby village early in the morning to visit the villagers of yesterday.

The village can only be described as depressed, and like the people in the city, almost all of them are yellow and thin, and they can not see the slightest trace of cooking smoke at breakfast time. It can be seen that the people in the village are reluctant to eat breakfast at all.

Qiongzhou has a well-developed water system, and the crops in the fields grow very well, but Fan Jinyan knows that these are the lands of the local gentry and landlords, and the villagers who have already worked in the fields are just their tenants.

Most of the villagers had seen Fan Jinyan yesterday, and when they saw him walking towards them, they all ran away as if they had seen a ghost. I haven't seen it, but when I heard Fan Jinyan's intention, I also followed the soles of my feet to smear oil.

Fortunately, after a while, I finally met a middle-aged man who was stopped by Han Yaxuan before he had time to run.

is not a bystander, it is actually the person who took the lead in going to the camp yesterday to find Fan Jinyan for compensation.

The brown and dark skin has been thinned into a skinny figure, and anyone who sees it is a little sad.

"My lord, you can let go of the small way to live!" Seeing that he couldn't run away, the man suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Fan Jinyan, and even his voice was crying.

Fan Jinyan, who was already sad and uncomfortable, suddenly became very angry when he heard this, and said angrily: "Do you still have any backbone, are you really willing to be enslaved by them for a lifetime?" And then, let your children and grandchildren continue to live the kind of life you live? ”

Who wants to live a life that is worse than death

People are bloody, not to mention a seven-foot man, the man suddenly raised his head and roared at Fan Jinyan: "Do you think we are willing to live this kind of life that is inferior to pigs and dogs?" The officials have changed one after another, not only not to make decisions for the people, but also to help and abuse. Those who complained were killed, and those who resisted, the village was gone, the home was gone, and the parents, wives and children were gone. We just want to live, why is it so hard? Why? ”

He Yi

Fan Jinyan's fists clenched with a click, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were about to pop out, and it took a long time before he let go of his hands and said softly: "I understand your suffering, one day, I will let He Yi pay for his blood debt." Now, I want you to tell me about Li Tong and Cheng Xuan's crimes, and I want to return Yazhou to a bright future. ”

"Your Excellency." The man raised his head and said, "The villain can see that you are a good official, let's go!" This is not the place you should be, the last magistrate died unjustly! ”

Is there a problem with the cause of death of the ex?

After repeated questioning, the man finally sighed and told the truth he knew.

Listening to the meaning of the man, the former Zhizhou should be a stunned character, just after taking office, he had a conflict with the prefect He Yi because of the matter of Shuzheng, and later because of the matter of cultivated land, he played the imperial court, not only played the stone and sunk into the sea, but also offended all the Yazhou gentry landlords. Later, because of an ordinary case of a rich child beating a civilian, he sentenced the rich child to compensate the civilian medical expenses, and punished the rich child who beat people to parade in the street. As a result, early the next morning, it was reported that Zhizhou died after hitting the door after drinking.

The most strange thing is that the rich kid who beat people is the nephew of Tongzhi Li Tong, the son of Cheng Xuan.

The two families are in-laws.

Regarding the behavior of his predecessor, Fan Jinyan can only be described as naïve, he has no strength and no background, and he is still working against the head snake, that is not a hero, that is stupid, stupid, and death is not wrong
