They walked through a while, Wendeng's magistrate came to greet him again, this magistrate and Chen Xin had a good relationship, he opened a cloth shop in Wendeng camp early in the morning, and Chen Xin also dotted according to the rules, so generally some ordinary households and Wendeng camp disputes, were pressed down by him, mainly some of the original owners of the wasteland, some came back, or some relatives of the original owner.

Sun Yuanhua is the governor, Denglai's military and political power is under his jurisdiction, the magistrate is a big official in the local area, and he is not in the stream for the governor, Sun Yuanhua just talks to him casually, far less enthusiastic about Chen Xin. Sun Yuanhua's trip was mainly to inspect military affairs, and he also knew that in Denglai, the main task was to deal with Jiannu, even if Denglai civil affairs became the first in the country, it was useless, as long as he lost the battle, he would still be dismissed, and the most important thing was military affairs. He quickly left the magistrate and continued to chat with Chen Xin about firearms, and the magistrate followed behind with great interest, and accompanied the prison army with Song Wenxian, whom he knew.

"In addition to reading "Western Fire Attack Artifact Theory" and "Artifact Spectrum", General Chen has also read other firearms books."

"My subordinates have seen some "Wubei Zhi", but this ......"

Sun Yuanhua twisted his beard and smiled: "It's just that there are too many to read, and this official is right." ”

Chen Xin looked admired, "My lord smiled, Xia Guan is really busy with affairs, there are too many Wu Beizhi, it seems to be more than two hundred volumes, Xia Guan can read, but he is not fast in reading, so he has to refer to it slowly in the future." ”

Sun Yuanhua wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said in a low voice after waiting for a while: "Zhisheng (Mao Yuanyi) This book, the official has finished reading, but there are not many things that can be remembered. ”

Chen Xin listened funny, Sun Yuanhua obviously thought that Wu Beizhi included too many things to the point of mud and sand, and good things were difficult to attract attention, but he had to go around a small circle, because he and Mao Yuanyi, who wrote "Wu Beizhi", were colleagues and friends, Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi were originally under Sun Chengzong, and their fate was also related to Sun Chengzong, after Sun Chengzong's Apocalypse was dismissed in the fifth year due to the defeat of Liuhe, Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi were successively dismissed and only enabled after Chongzhen ascended the throne. Appointed Sun Chengzong's governor Qinwang soldiers and horses, Mao Yuanyi led dozens of cavalry to escort Sun Chengzong to Tongzhou, experienced many dangers before arriving, and followed Sun Chengzong to continue to defend the Ningjin defense line after the battle of the four cities, and now Juehua Island is the commander of the Juehua Water Battalion.

At this time, two Wendeng camp horses came from the front and reported in Liu Pojun's ear, and Liu Pojun waved the triangular yellow-edged red flag of his staff officer on duty, Chen Xin and Sun Chengzong complained to Liu Pojun's side and dismounted.

Liu Pojun said in a low voice: "My lord, Mr. Liu, brought a letter, and there were two Wendeng students who were making trouble at the gate of the barracks. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Mr. Liu said that it was wasteland and domestic slaves, and Tangma didn't know what it was."

These people happened to make trouble when Sun Yuanhua came, how could there be such a coincidental thing Sun Yuanhua's inspection and Wendeng County and Wendeng Camp have sent official letters, Chen Xin turned his head to look at Wendeng Zhi County, this person is talking with Song Wenxian lively, he also gets a lot of benefits from Wendeng Camp every year, there is no reason to do this kind of thing, maybe it was his subordinates who did it.

Chen Xin touched his chin and asked, "Are they making trouble at that door?" Now who's dealing with it. ”

"The west gate of the barracks. Mr. Liu is here, the officer is Lu Chuanzong there, and the sentry of the 1,000th headquarters is on duty today. ”

"What is Mr. Liu going to do, send his men down, forget it, well, then let's go to the north gate of the barracks, before we arrive, use the training Putrajaya to block the east gate."

Liu Pojun hesitated and asked, "What if they want to break through?" ”

"What does military law say?"

"On weekdays, during the day, without a waist card or warrant, within five steps of entering the camp gate, and those who do not listen to the admonitions, the sentry will go out of the side door and tie them up and hand them over to the officer on duty for disposal. Those who resisted with weapons were killed on the spot. ”

Chen Xin smiled and said: "What is military discipline, it is to be enforced by the army, since there are regulations, there is no need to ask me, unless there is a bigger official on the scene." ”

"My lord, these are all scholars, in case the soldiers make something happen to their hands......"

"If something happens, I will deal with it, as long as the sentry is done according to military discipline, no one can arrest my soldiers, otherwise how can the generals be the courage of the three armies, and what ambition will the armies have.

Liu Pojun said with admiration: "My subordinates understand." ”

"Domestic slaves and wasteland are civil affairs matters, let Mr. Liu talk about it, anyway, if the people are not returned, the land will not be returned, this is the bottom line."

Liu Pojun agreed and went to tell Tang Ma, Tang Ma repeated it after he got off his back, and Liu Pojun checked it correctly and asked him to go back and report the news-

Outside the west gate of the Wendeng camp barracks, there are dense layers of onlookers, of course, generally speaking, the masses do not know the truth, in the middle of these crowds, there are two well-dressed talents, and more than a dozen people with the image of domestic servants and tenants, mixed with a few green skins.

A two-team battle group lined up in front of the camp gate, and the leader of the team gave the order to be on guard, and the musketeers' arquebuses had all been lit and clamped on the dragon's head.

Liu Min has an angry face, these two people have been here for a long time, both of them are Xiucai, the title deed and the deed of sale at hand, keep asking for land and escaped house slaves, Liu Min has seen their land deeds, most of them are Xiucai, and the title deeds of several households, but they are indeed occupied by Wendeng Camp 500 acres of land, just in the abandoned land east of the old camp, these two people are obviously waiting for them to open up mature fields and then come back, now the 500 acres of land has been distributed to the tun households, each household of ten acres is 50 families, Liu Min does not plan to return to them, Thinking of giving some silver to buy the land back, these two people kept pulling around, even pulling out Jiang Bin in the early years, and they had to give Wendeng Camp a big hat of a warrior usurping power.

The two showmen quoted scriptures, but Liu Minyou couldn't understand them, so he shouted impatiently to interrupt them, and said coldly: "If you come to mess around, you will have no time to accompany you." Then he turned around and left.

As soon as the two of them saw it, they grabbed Liu Minyou by the sleeves, "If you want to leave, it's not so easy for your tunhu to move out and hand over our house slaves." ”

Liu Min shook it off, "If you want to talk, take out your conditions, and talk about Jiang Bin Lanyu." ”

"You Wendeng camp relied on a little military merit to occupy people's land, coercing the people, fish and meat in the countryside, you are still reasonable, the land is standing by you, what do our tenants eat, not to mention that the domestic slaves we bought with silver, today we are waiting to avenge the grievances of the people."

At this time, the herald Tang Ma had already rushed back to convey Chen Xin's order to Lu Chuanzong, who was on duty, and Lu Chuanzong had already held his breath and immediately issued a clear order with his subordinates.

Liu Min saw that they were still like this, and after he hurried to the camp gate, the two of them had no time to catch him, and a green skin saw this and shouted: "If you don't hand over the people and land, let's rush in." ”

The two Xiucai echoed, and they were about to rush to the camp gate with those tenants.

"Firearms Ready!" The captain of the firearms team gave a loud order.

"Sentry Killer Team Ready!" The twelve soldiers of the killer team put their weapons flat one after another, facing a group of people who were about to rush in, and the two Xiucai He had been aimed at the gun and hurriedly hid behind, and a group of tenants were originally joining in the fun, and no one led and stopped.

Lu Chuanzong said loudly: "Those who enter the five-meter white line will be tied up and killed on the spot when they hit the camp gate." ”

A Xiucai looked at those sentinels as if they were real, these soldiers were really different from ordinary battalion soldiers and military households, they were very murderous, and they were indifferent to people, and he was indeed a little afraid in his heart, so he hurriedly shouted to Liu Minyou: "That sir, you still say that you are not coercing the people." ”

Lu Chuanzong went to Liu Minyou's side and said, "Mr. Liu, you don't have to pay attention to him, your lord has a clear order here." ”

Liu Minyou hesitated and shook his head and said, "Governor Sun is coming today, don't make trouble." ”

"There won't be an accident, I'll catch them right away and lock them up for a few days."

Liu Minyou remembered what he heard about the scholars in Jiangnan, and sighed: "I don't know where these two people came from, don't be so reckless." He said to the showman, "Then go to my office and talk." ”

The two Xiucai glanced at each other, turned their heads and said, "Let's talk about it here, a few words, what kind of official room to go to." ”

Liu Min held his breath and continued to discuss with them, he couldn't return the land, those lands were just in the middle, there would be too much trouble in the future, and he was going to give the silver, but the two of them opened their mouths and offered a price of fifteen taels per mu, and then continued to bargain with him little by little, but their attitude was much better than at the beginning.

Just when Liu Minyou was about to give up completely, a green skin came from the west and whispered to the two Xiucai, the faces of the two Xiucai immediately changed, and they sneered at Liu Minyou: "You think that I will wait for you, I am here to complain to the governor today, I expected that you would change the way, and now you have been stopped by other righteous people outside the north gate, haha, you occupy the military land and the people's land in Wendeng, and today you will ask the governor to administer justice, otherwise we will go to sue the emperor." ”

After they finished speaking, they didn't wait for Liu Minyou to speak, and led the people away, Liu Minyou was so angry that he was smoking, Lu Chuanzong caught up and said: "They are still making noise on dog days, your mother, Mr. Liu, just catch and kill it, Lao Tzu's stomach will explode." ”

Liu Minyou gasped and said: "Sun Yuanhua is here, what else to catch, let's go to the north gate." He rolled his eyes and said to an assistant beside him, "Go and call Chen Tingdong." ”

After Liu Minyou finished speaking, he rushed through the barracks to the north gate, and there were indeed nearly ten students here, they stopped Sun Yuanhua and his party, a civil official and a eunuch were looking at their land deeds, Chen Xin calmly accompanied Sun Yuanhua, and Wendeng Zhixian was full of panic and was already a little at a loss.

Liu Minyou soon found Huang Gongcheng's figure among those people, and he understood what was going on.

Sun Yuanhua frowned tightly, there is nothing to occupy some land, the main thing is that these are students, there are not many scholars in Denglai, and he knows the main ones, but once these students form a gang, it is not so easy to deal with.

"General Chen, these land deeds are all true, there are as many as 5,000 acres, have you mistakenly occupied the owner's land?" Sun Yuanhua handed one to Chen Xin, and Chen Xin respectfully took it and looked at it. It reads, "Under the three first-class figures of the nine capitals, Tang Xisheng, the deed of sale, now has inherited the ancestors and continued to buy a land, located in the three guarantees of the capital, the name of the land is Fangniutang, the department is Qingzhang Fa No. 396, the land is 363 steps, and the tax is calculated...... Selling out with the same capital Huang Ying is often a business...... In November of the first year of Chongzhen......" is followed by the red deed of witnesses and the government.

Chen Xin gave the paper to Song Wenxian, Song Wenxian sniffed it, wiped it with his hand, and said loudly to Sun Yuanhua: "Lord Sun, this title deed is fake, and the time is within one month." Sun Yuanhua took a closer look, and sure enough.

A student on the ground said: "My lord, this land was bought by Tang Xisheng in the first year of his life, and he went to escape the famine after receiving the silver, and he only came back recently to make up the land deed." ”

Chen Xin saw that there was only one cross on the land deed's signature, so he regarded it as a drawing, so he held up the land deed and asked, "Then you ask that Tang Xisheng to speak in front of Lord Sun." ”

That student was Huang Yingchang, he didn't answer Chen Xin at all, and said: "I'm talking to the governor, what are you doing as a martial artist." Later, when he returned to the governor, Tang Xisheng signed the title deed and went to escape again. ”

Lu Zhi snorted beside him, "The Wendeng camp can occupy the wasteland abandoned by Wendeng, which is set by the Holy Will of Long Live. ”

Huang Yingchang said again: "That's right, long live only let him occupy the wasteland, but this is the ripe land with the owner, on weekdays it is our tenants to cultivate, Wendeng camp is rampant in the countryside on weekdays, forcibly occupied, and openly sells private salt in their tunbao, in the fish and meat people, we are waiting for the governor to call the shots today, and extinguish the fierce flames of the warriors before they are blazing." ”

Lu Zhi didn't understand the situation, and was robbed by this student, unable to speak.

Sun Yuanhua was a little worried, he originally intended to come to Haosheng to get closer to Chen Xin, Wendeng Camp is strong, and there are many places that can be used in the future, who knows that he will encounter this. He has been in Guanning for a long time, even if there are evil deeds said by this student, it is not even a in Guanning, and he doesn't have to bother to deal with it at all, but now with these scholars, it is different. Wendeng Zhixian came over and whispered to Sun Yuanhua: "My lord, among these people, there are Xiucai students, many of them have relatives and friends who are officials in the third division, and there is also a cousin who is the imperial history in Beijing, and there are also grandparents who are officials, and there are old days in the court, this, I have made trouble at the lower officials twice, and they were sent back by the lower officials, and they didn't make too much trouble, I never thought that they would come to surprise the adults, this red deed, I'm afraid that those officials ......" Sun Yuanhua waved his hand impatiently, and let the county order retreat. He has Zhou Yanru on him, although he is not afraid of students, but if these people have a background, they will go to find a member of the imperial history, if the emperor does not stay in the middle, he will have to explain to him, and everyone knows it, once or twice is fine, and more will always affect the emperor's opinion of himself.

After Kong Youde was behind Sun Yuanhua, he saw that Sun Yuanhua couldn't do it for a while, and his eyes were a little timid when he looked at those students, completely lacking the fierceness of the martial arts just now.

In front of the camp gate, there were all sentries of the Wendeng camp and the officers who rushed over, and when they saw that the main general was insulted, their eyes were full of fire, but the military discipline of the Wendeng camp was strict, and they did not scold, just waiting for Chen Xin's order.

Chen Xin, the defendant, was very calm, and he didn't mind being snubbed and falsely accused by Huang Yingchang, he glanced at the number of people on the ground, and he arched his hand to Sun Yuanhua: "Lord Sun, since they are planning to falsely accuse the lower officials, the lower officials will first count the acres of land here, so as not to make a land deed casually in the future, and add it." ”

After he finished speaking, he nodded to Song Wenxian, and Song Wenxian quickly counted out the acres of land, totaling more than 5,500 mu, accounting for half of the land in Wendengying. Chen Xin looked at the number and knew that these people had been eyeing the Wendeng camp for a long time, and when they turned the wasteland into a mature field, and then found a local Baojia to be a middleman, the original owner of the field could not stand the exploitation for a long time, and went to escape the famine.

Chen Xin took the list and asked the students: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have a total of 5,532 acres of mature fields, can you be considered right?" ”

Those students didn't look at him, glanced at him, and said, "It's like a difference." ”

"It's right or not, if it's not, please recalculate."

"Okay, I'll give you the fraction and wait, we'll be generous."

Chen Xin said respectfully to Sun Yuanhua and Lu Zhi, "Master Du, Lord Jianjun, since it is their ripe field and the tenants are cultivating, the lower official asks the county lord to take out the tax payment list for the past three years, and check whether the acres of land are taxed one by one, and if it is true, the lower officials will return it to the master according to the mu." ”

The faces of a group of showmen changed, and Huang Gongcheng squeezed to the front row and said loudly: "We all have merit and fame, and we are exempt from paying ......"

Lu Zhi laughed and interrupted: "Two hundred acres, there are eleven people here, and there are only seven people who are famous on the land deed. Li Jiucheng, you send a fast horse to the county government to seal the entrances and exits, and you yourself accompany the county magistrate to the county government to get the tax payment register, and only when you get it here are you allowed to open it, and if it is the same, it will be dealt with by military law. Li Jiucheng shouted his order.

The faces of the showmen changed, and one of the showmen hurriedly explained: "Lord Governor, our more than 5,000 acres have not been cultivated. Only more than 1,000 acres were planted, all of which were exempt from taxes. Others chimed in.

Sun Yuanhua said: "Then the other is not the wasteland, since it is wasted, it is a pity, the emperor has a decree, the wasteland can be occupied by Wendeng Camp, and a strong army is raised for the imperial court. ”

Those students didn't speak, their arrogance plummeted, Sun Yuanhua didn't want to make enemies with them, and waved his hand: "You all go back, study with peace of mind in the future, and serve the court as soon as possible, these fields will naturally be there, but you don't need to use some crooked brains......"

Huang Gongcheng was negligent, he lost everything, he originally intended to grab some land first, let Wen Dengying know that it was powerful, and then force Wen Dengying to give up other businesses, now it is not sold, he gritted his teeth with hatred for Wendenying, but he had to endure his anger and accept Sun Yuanhua's nagging, and when Sun Yuanhua finished speaking, Chen Xin led him into the camp, he then remembered those land deeds, and hurriedly asked in the back, "Lord Sun, please return the land deeds to me." ”

Sun Yuanhua paused, and was about to turn back, Lu Zhi came up and pulled him, and continued to enter the camp and walked away, but he didn't hear it, Chen Xin turned around and smiled at him, Huang Gongcheng jumped to his feet angrily, and one of his servants pulled him and said, "There, in the brazier in the gatehouse." ”

Huang Gongcheng saw that Song Wenxian was proudly throwing the title deed into the brazier, and the surrounding Wendeng camp officers laughed and came up and threw it into the brazier.

Huang Gongcheng scolded in a low voice for a while, looked at these officers with resentment, and finally took people away, and he looked back at the camp gate fiercely as he walked.

Zhang Dong, who had not left at the door, said to Zhou Shifa: "The adults are too polite to these students, and it is more troublesome to kill them directly." ”

Zhou Shifa sneered: "You don't understand the methods of adults, he has always been kind on the surface, and when he starts, he will not be softer than you and me." These people you also remember, there is a time when they are still there. ”
