Su Hao took the soldiers and the peasants who had complained, and Zeng Fengxian, Zhao Hua, and Zeng Gui, who had lost his teeth, stood on the ground and saw them off until their backs were no longer visible.

"Damn, it's really a villain, look at him rampant!" Zeng Fengxian scolded hatefully.

"The hair hasn't grown, and the official authority is quite big." Zhao Hua also muttered.

"Lao Zhao, do you think this surnamed Su wants to be real, or is it just a matter of playing prestige?" Zeng Fengxian asked Zhao Hua.

Zhao Hua shook his head and said, "I really can't see through him." When he first came, he was quite polite, I thought he was just here to go through the motions, who knew that he would really dare to do it. Look at Zeng Gui's face, what he was beaten by his people. ”

Zeng Feng first looked back at Zeng Gui and saw that his face was indeed swollen like a pig's face. Zeng Gui covered his cheeks and said with a snort: "I'm afraid of causing trouble for the master, otherwise, can the big black man still be my opponent." ”

Zeng Fengxian knew that Zeng Gui had been beaten, so he found steps for himself, looking at Xiong Minfan's head, the three Zeng Gui were not his opponents. Zeng Fengxian shook his head and said, "After I go back, I will go to the account office to pay 5 coins of silver, and find a man to see." ”

"Thank you, Master." Zeng Gui said.

Zeng Fengxian turned back to Zhao Hua and said, "Old Zhao, this Hu Lin dug up a dark stake today, can it be counted?" What should I do if this person surnamed Su takes this life? ”

Zhao Hua shook his head and said: "This dark pile is not written on the title deed, so it can't be counted." If the surname Su dares to come hard, Tan Zhixian is not easy to talk to. Don't look at him as a six-pin, Tan Zhixian may not be afraid of him. ”

"This guy is a six-rank at a young age, is there someone in the court?" Zeng Fengxian asked.

Zhao Hua is just a county official, and he doesn't know anything about Su Hao's origin, background, etc. He said: "I've never heard anyone talk about this, so let's do it, Zeng Weng, you should keep a low profile during this time, don't let people catch any tricks." ”

Zeng Fengxian said: "I understand, Lao Zhao, let's go, go to the house to drink a few cups, timidly cold." ”

"Well, another day." Zhao Hua said in a low mood, "I have to hurry back to the county seat to report to Tan Zhi County, who knows what this Master Su wants to do." ”

Hearing Zhao Hua say that he didn't go to the house to drink, Zeng Fengxian was not reluctant, he took out a piece of silver from his arms and stuffed it into Zhao Hua's hand. Zhao Hua pretended to excuse himself, then accepted the money and hurried back to the county seat.

Seeing that Zhao Hua also walked away, Zeng Fengxian asked Zeng Gui: "Zeng Gui, how do you feel on your face, can you go out?" ”

Zeng Gui said: "Yes, master, where do you want me to go?" ”

Zeng Fengxian said: "If you can go out, then go to Wujiagou, find a huge master, and tell him that I am waiting for my news recently, maybe I have a little work to ask him for help." ”

Hearing Zeng Fengxian's words, Zeng Gui was frightened. The huge boss Zeng Fengxian mentioned was named Pang Dengkui, a local bandit leader with more than 100 minions under his command. Zeng Fengxian forcibly seized in Andong County, and sometimes he would encounter resistance, at this time, Zeng Fengxian would invite Pang Dengkui to come and settle down, sometimes he beat the victim violently, and sometimes he directly killed people and set fire.

Now that Su Hao came to investigate Zeng Fengxian's occupation of Hu Lin's land, Zeng Fengxian asked Zeng Gui to contact Pang Dengkui, doesn't this mean that Zeng Fengxian wants to be rude to Su Hao? The Zeng family usually oppressed a few peasants, even if they colluded with bandits to kill people, and threw a few taels of silver to the bitter master's family afterwards, and then intimidated them, it was enough for them not to make trouble. However, it is no joke to attack a six-rank court official.

"Master, this Master Su is an official." Zeng Gui couldn't help but remind.

"What's wrong with the official errand?" Zeng Fengxian's eyes widened, "The official has met a strongman, what does it have to do with me?" If the surname Su doesn't know each other and wants to smash my pot, I won't share the sky with him. ”

"I understand, I'll go to Wujiagou now." Zeng Gui said.

Not mentioning Zeng Fengxian's means of preparing to deal with Su Hao there, it was only said that Su Hao left Sangyuan Village with everyone and returned to the inn in Chaohe Town. The farmers who Su Hao brought from Huai'an Mansion were all placed in the inn to wait, and when they saw Su Hao and the others coming back, they hula and surrounded them, and those who were anxious asked Hu Lin: "How is it, Brother Hu, has Lord Su come back to the field for you?" ”

Hu Lin looked up at Su Hao, and stopped talking, but just sighed and shook his head at everyone.

"This ......" The peasants were all stunned, they thought that the prefect had sent a Liupin Beijing official to bring them to fight the lawsuit, and it would definitely be a success. Who knew that this Liupin Jingguan was so unreliable that he couldn't even get back eight acres of land, and like this, what hope did everyone have for getting their land back.

Su Hao looked at everyone's expressions, smiled, and said, "Fellow villagers, don't worry. This official went to Sangyuanzhuang with Brother Hu today, mainly to understand the situation and probe the tone of several parties. Now that the other party has played tricks and destroyed the physical evidence, the official can't make the decision for everyone with one mouth, which is against the legal system of the imperial court.

Rest assured, your affairs will be managed by the official to the end, but how to untie this knot now, we have to allow the official to think again, and I hope you will believe in the official and cooperate with the official sincerely. ”

"Master, we all believe in you!" Including Hu Lin, all the peasants knelt down and kowtowed to Su Hao repeatedly. Su Hao hurriedly held each other by hand, helped them up one by one, and let them disperse after saying anything.

The soldiers of the survey battalion who went to Sangyuanzhuang with Su Hao also went back to their rooms to rest, Su Hao walked back to his room, looked back, and found that Zhou Ruyuan also followed.

"Lao Zhou, you went to Sangyuan Village with me today, you have seen the situation, tell me, what do you think." Su Hao sat down on the chair, casually pointed out a seat for Zhou Ruyuan, and then asked.

Zhou Ruyuan cautiously sat down on the side, he looked outside the door, and was sure that there were no idle people waiting, so he asked in a low voice: "My lord, I don't know what my lord thinks about this Hu Lin matter." ”

Su Hao said angrily: "Zhou Ruyuan, I asked you first if you were okay, why did you ask me again?" Who are our staff? ”

Zhou Ruyuan hurriedly said: "No, no, my lord, you misunderstood." I mean to ask, do you really want to take care of Hulin's matter, or do you ......"

"You're asking, do I just want to go through the motions?" Su Hao asked.

Zhou Ruyuan was silent and acquiesced to Su Hao's guess.

Su Hao said: "Lao Zhou, you haven't been with me for a long time, you don't know me, and it's normal to have some questions, I don't blame you." However, let me tell you, I, Su Hao, never do things in a disobedient way, and since I brought these farmers out, I naturally wanted to seek justice for them. This is so eloquent, how can Haoqiang be so arrogant. I just can't find a good way to get the land back for Hulin right now, what can you do, just say it. ”

Zhou Ruyuan nodded and said, "If you want to get back the land for this Hu Lin, there is no way, but my subordinates are worried that this method is too fierce and it will be unfavorable to the adults." ”

"Do you really have a way?" Su Hao was a little surprised. At the scene today, he pondered this matter carefully and thought of some solutions. For example, Zeng Fengxian knocked down the old locust tree, but the roots are still there, and it is not difficult to restore the location of the old locust tree according to the location of the roots. But the flaw of this method is that it is easy to lead to rip-off, and if Zeng Fengxian insists that the root of this tree is not the old locust tree, the officials of Andong County will come to stir up the situation again, and they will inevitably fall into a bitter battle. Su Hao didn't like this kind of tangled battle, so he didn't say this method.

In the case that he couldn't think of a good way, this Zhou Ruyuan in front of him actually said that there was no way, and the method was quite fierce, which would have an adverse impact on himself, Su Hao couldn't help but wonder what kind of solution this was.

"My lord, where is the land of the Hu Lin family, in fact, it is impossible to verify. The directions indicated on the title deed are all destroyed by water, even if the adults can restore it, I am afraid that the former will not admit it, if there is another lawsuit, I am afraid that it will be another confused lawsuit. Zhou Ruyuan said.

Su Hao nodded and said, "You're right, that's why I didn't restore the scene." ”

Zhou Ruyuan said: "In fact, what Hu Lin wants is not his original eight acres of land, if we can make up another eight acres of land for him, he will be satisfied." Adults say, isn't that so? ”

"Of course." Su Hao said, "What he wants is just eight acres of land, and it doesn't matter where it is." The point is, where can I find eight acres of land to compensate him? ”

Zhou Ruyuan said with a smile: "My lord, if you think about it, this Zeng Fengxian occupied the eight acres of Hu Lin's family, isn't the number of acres of his own field not matched?" Let's just take out the title deed of Zeng Fengxian's family and calculate it, and then let people measure how many acres of land he has within his current boundary, there must be a gap between the two, and if he can't explain the difference, it will prove that it belongs to the Hulin family. ”

"It's not that hard to measure the land." Su Hao frowned and said, what the survey camp in his hand is best at is surveying, and it is too easy to measure how many acres of land Zeng Fengxian's family has. However, even if the area is measured, can't Zeng Fengxian be fooled? He could have said that the area written on the title deed was not true, and everything was determined by the boundaries of his family's land.

Hearing Su Hao say this, Zhou Ruyuan said: "My lord, what we want is for Zeng Fengxian to say this." If he says so, we can check his family's tax deed and conceal the land area without paying taxes, which is a crime. When the time comes, isn't it natural for the adults to punish him? ”

"Is that okay?" Su Hao's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but admire Zhou Ruyuan.
