Chapter 57: Reading the Case

The wheat is busy, and the farm tools are idle, and the previous Wen Chou distributed the farm tools to the villagers, which is naturally not free, and now it is time to collect interest.

According to the original agreement, if the villagers had the agricultural tools in their hands, they would be redeemed at the price of 500 yuan per sickle, 800 yuan per hoe, 5,000 yuan per plow, etc., and if it was converted into grain, it would be 200 yuan per stone of grain. If it is only used this time, and the farm tools are still owned by the Wen's ironware shop, they will be leased at the price of 100 yuan for the sickle, 120 yuan for each hoe, and 500 yuan for each plow, and the price of grain is the same.

At that time, thousands of farm tools were distributed, and a box of recorded bamboo slips was also filled!

Wen Chou came to the lobby, called two villagers, and ordered them to carry the bamboo slips from the warehouse, of course, not only the bamboo slips related to farm tools, but also the bamboo slips of other displaced people in Xin'an, the bamboo slips of the township lawsuit, etc., were all moved, and they were listed in the hall one by one, there were as many as three boxes! Wen Chou smiled bitterly. Although I know everything in general, I still have to read them one by one if I don't know anything about them!

In these two days, let's solve them one by one! Wen Chou thought to himself.

"Xiangting Zhang Yi, three sickles, two hoes, and one plow; Liu's Pavilion Liu Ding, two sickles, two hoes, and a plow; Donglin Pavilion Jiangjin, four sickles, three hoes, two ploughs; ......" Wen Chou took out a book at random and read it simply. There were three pavilions at the beginning, which really made Wen Chou frown, and when he looked down, he found that there were a total of seventy or eighty records on this volume, and he was stunned that every pavilion in the township was included.

Wen Chou smiled bitterly, put the bamboo slips into the box from the new, and thought: "It's better to wait for the officials to come back, and then sort it out together, so that the fake records of each pavilion are on a roll of bamboo slips, so that they can ask for it from door to door!" ”

Wen Chou checked the bamboo slips in this box one by one, and saw that they were all recorded in the pretense of borrowing farm tools, so he immediately moved them aside and went to take the bamboo slips in the other two boxes to read.

"In the lawsuit file, Xilinting originally asked Lijiang to sue Tongli Zhao Peng for occupying his land; Li She in the opening book of Donglin Pavilion sued Tongli Yang Zhu for annexing his land; ...... "Wen Chou has a total of sixteen complaints, of which 15 are about the field, and the other is about farm tools! I can't laugh or cry when I see Wen Chou. I thought: "Each household cultivates more than twice the amount of land on average, how can there be no friction in the field, but on the whole, the fields owned by the households are probably a lot more than in previous years, which is really 'vested Long, looking back at Shu'!" The human heart is insufficient! "Abandon it.

"Jiang Ming in Zhukou Pavilion Sanhe sued Zhu Yongqiang in the book for robbing the people's daughter! Well, robbing people's daughters? Wen Chou took out another roll of bamboo slips and read it lazily, suddenly raised his voice, and stood up suddenly. Wen Chou sat upright and looked at it carefully. This case is about food and clothing. Things of desire.

Zhukou Pavilion Sanhe Li Min, composed of three surnames, the largest and most prosperous is Zhu Yong as the representative of the Zhu surname, and Zhu Yong is the head of the term, but also the largest rich family in the middle, there are 100 acres of fertile land, attached to 100 people, has always been rampant in the middle. And Jiang Hui's surname Jiang is the weakest part, Zhu Yong took a fancy to Jiang Hui's daughter and wanted to forcibly hire her as a little wife. Zhu Yong was originally finalized in January and forcibly married in April, but at that time, Wen Chou's new appointment ruined Wen Ji's family, and Zhu Yong's family was inferior to Wen Ji, so he didn't dare to go against the front, so he dragged it down, and now that January has passed, Zhu Yong feels that the limelight has passed. The heart of desire was restless again, and just today, Ling Tufu threw a thousand dollars to Jiang Hui's house, saying that he would marry the day after tomorrow and let Jiang Hui dress up his daughter well!

After Jiang Hui thought about it repeatedly, he still decided to come to the official temple to complain about it, but Wen Chou went to visit Jiang Cheng, and waited until noon to see Wen Chou return, and he was worried about his daughter's safety and was afraid that Zhu Yong would come randomly, so he had no choice but to go home first and wait for news.

After reading Wen Chou, he was angry, and put the bamboo slips on the ground, and at this time, the king of Xiangzuo rushed back from his visit and said: "That person who is not long-eyed provoked Wen Jun? Because of getting along in recent months, Wang Chong and Wen Chou have become closer and closer, so when they speak, they don't have the restraint they had at the beginning.

"Oh, I'm back, quick, sit, sit." Wen scandal listened, calm and said.

"Oh, it's him!" Wang rushed forward, picked up the bamboo slips from the ground, and swept his eyes.

"What, Chongzhi knows, how is it?" Wen Chou asked.

"Isn't it all written, the rich families in the township, with more than 20 in vain, dominate the middle, if you want to say that there are others, that is, between my tenure in this position, the tax is often only 12/12, alas." Wang Chong sighed lightly. As a townsman, it is his job to collect taxes.

"So have you ever heard of Chongzhi, what other evil deeds does he have?" Wen Chou took the bamboo slip and said.

"Other evil deeds, according to rumors, he eats three meals a day, fish and meat constantly, usury, annexes a lot of good land in the township, has always been strong, and he claims to be a hero in the township, and if he doesn't agree with each other, he will add his fists and feet." Wang Chong thought for a while, then pointed to the bamboo slip and said, "Of course, the name of lust has long been rumored. As for the rest, it is up to us to search for those who are in it. ”

Wen scandal said, frowning, Oh'er, brows stretched, obviously after some thought. He thought to himself: "This Zhu Yong has 100,000 family assets, and he eats fish and meat three times a day, of course, this is not his fault, but this robbery of the people's daughter, does he regard my ugliness as nothing?" ”

"Hehe, the day after tomorrow, there will be a red event!" Wen Chou laughed.

"What do you mean?" Wang Chong asked.

"I want to see how strong this Zhu Yong is!" Wen Chou said solemnly.

"Ha, ha, the villagers' luck!" Wang Chongna didn't know what he meant, and said with a smile.

"Chongzhi, it's too much. Tell us what you learned today. Wen Chou arched his hand. The two sat opposite each other.

Wang Chong didn't answer for a while, looked at the three boxes of bamboo slips in the hall, and said, "Which box is for farm tools?" ”

"Well, I'm going to wait for the officials to come, sort them, and go to the villagers to collect them." Wen Chou nodded and said.

"Oh, that's going to be tomorrow. What did Jiang Gongke say? ”

"You, you, you're so appetizing." Wen Chou Yan blamed.

"It's nothing, the ordinary villagers all agreed, and they were very happy, and the rich families also said that they would send some disciples to participate in the digging of the ditch." Wang Chongyan said.

"Well, there is no rich family who said that they would give some money and food to subsidize?" Wen Chou asked.

"It's all out of the way, it's already beyond my expectations, why do you still expect them to contribute?" Wang Chong said dumbly.

"Ahem, ahem, hasn't anyone else come back yet?" Wen Scandal said embarrassedly. I thought: "Just now I blamed the villagers for 'having Long, looking back at Shu', this time, I will repeat the mistakes of the villagers, and the rich families in the township are not satisfied, and they still want them to contribute!" ”

"I think it's not long before I will return, and it's not too early." Wang Chong looked out of the door and said.

……

When night was approaching, the villagers, Dong Jiang, Tie Qian, etc. returned one after another, and came to the lobby one by one to report to Wen Chou, and then returned to their residences, ending the busy day.

When night came, the sky and the earth darkened, only a bright moon hung high in the sky, Wen Chou looked up, and said in his heart: "It's really a rare moon star!" Tomorrow is another good weather, according to Dong Jiang and Tie Qian, two days after tomorrow, the buildings and facilities of Taolinsai will be repaired! Then it's time to show your strength! ”
