Chapter 45: Wei Zheng Goes to the Countryside (II)
This sudden question made Si Tianzuo stunned, and he couldn't help but look at the old man carefully, only to see that his eyes were blazing, his cheeks were thin, his jaws were protruding, his two thick sword eyebrows, a floating beard, a black turban, and a gray robe, his demeanor was solemn, and his speech was extraordinary.
Si Tianzuo secretly thought that this person didn't look like a country farmer, maybe there would be a background, so he said politely: "This official is just doing official business, if the gentleman wants to ask, naturally go to the county office."
"The county government naturally wants to go, but I'd rather ask you for advice first."
"You...... I advise you to be nosy! Si Tian turned his face, "This is the order of the state capital's assassin Shi, this official is acting on orders, and there is nothing to say!" ”
The old man did not show weakness, and said in one sentence: "In my opinion, this re-granting of land and re-making of the book was used by you to set up a name and encroach on the land of the people!" ”
The people around shouted noisily in order to come up—
"This gentleman is right! What kind of tricks are you playing? ”
"No wonder the officials of the yamen came all the way here, and they can't afford to be early!" "Damn, I'm illiterate!"
Si Tianzuo saw that the villagers wanted to turn against the sky, and concentrated all their hatred on the old man. Si Tianzuo showed a fierce look, and viciously ordered the officer: "This old man ignores Juntian Dafa, confuses the crowd with evil words, and blasts him out!" "As soon as the officers rush up, they will do it.
The villagers blocked the old man with their bodies, and several young men wearing scholar's robes stood in front of the old man with righteous indignation, shouting loudly: "Why arrest people indiscriminately! Is there a royal law in your eyes? ”
At this time, some villagers took the lead in snatching their original acres of land, and it was a mess for a while. The youths and the servants tugged at each other. The two sides fought hard to tear it apart. The atmosphere was a little uncontrollable for a while
This unprecedented chaos did not make Si Tian Zuo panic. He grabbed the old man's sleeve and shouted that he would send the cause of chaos to the provincial government.
The old man smiled without changing his face, and calmly took out a name card from his arms.
Si Tian Zuo glanced at it and saw that the post read: Qin ordered the patrol envoy Shangshu Zuo Cheng Wei Zheng
Si Tianzuo was dumbfounded, and urgently ordered Zheng and the villagers to tear up the errand service: "Live...... Stop it! He smiled at Wei Zheng and said: "The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please atone for your sins!" ”
There had never been such a large court official, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled.
Wei Zheng picked up the "Returning to the Field" on the table and flipped through it. He asked majestically: "All these retreats above are in line with the Juntian Order?" ”
Li Zheng was just about to answer, but Si Tianzuo preemptively said: "They are all three types of fields stipulated by the imperial court, there are households that are out of land, the head of the household is dead, and there is no successor to the children of the household, there are fields that have escaped from death, which are the masters who have fled, and there are also public fields, which are very detailed in the book, please read them." ”
Then. The villagers gathered around, but many of them cried out. The actual situation in the homes of many of them does not correspond to what is described in this book.
Si Tianzuo stared at those villagers with some contempt, and said viciously: "Boldly Diao Min, this is Shangshu Zuo Cheng Wei, you must not talk nonsense!" ”
The villagers were not happy, and shouted one after another: "Are you reasonable or afraid of seeing officials? Your Excellency is the official of the court, and he is the master of the people! ”
Wei Zheng asked the villagers who were watching and being timid to come over and said, "If you have anything to say, tell me!" The villagers had the courage to speak out.
Si Tianzuo was afraid that things would make a big fuss, so he hurriedly played a round: "Villagers, Lord Wei still has a business trip, you go back for the time being, the matter of the field, although rest assured, if there is a mistake, it must be corrected!" Then, he whispered to Wei Zheng, "Lord Wei, you have come all the way here, you must not have settled down to rest, the lower officials will show you the way, go to the county government to rest and rest, let's discuss the division of this field again, right?" ”
Wei Zheng ignored him, picked up the book "Please Tian Bo" and looked at it, the first one was the name of Cui Gan of the Cui family, and the number of fields invited was 400 mu
Wei Zheng deliberately asked: "Why does this man who owes land ask for so much land?" ”
Si Tian Zuo said, "This ...... The lower officials don't know. ”
Wei Zheng snorted coldly, threw "Please Tian Bo" on the table, and said, "How can you, as an official in charge of land in the county government, not know? I'm afraid it's hard to say! Si Tian Zuo was silent, and his face was red and white for a while. Wei Hui waved his hand, "Let's go, go to the county government with this official to take a look, how this Juntian method is implemented in this Langlang Qiankun and under the blue sky!" ”…… Kuizhou, Di Fu. "Master, what do you think of that girl?" A beautiful woman asked a middle-aged man beside her while making tea. "Well, it does look like a country and is slim, but it seems to be a little arrogant." The middle-aged man thought and said. "What do you think of our Di'er to her?" The beautiful woman couldn't help but smile and said. "Hmph, that kid, favoring that girl everywhere, Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it." Hearing the middle-aged man say this, the beautiful woman giggled, half loud, and then held back a smile and said: "Di'er, this child, the concubine brought him up since he was a child, and he sees it very accurately. The beautiful woman looked at the middle-aged man with some delight, waiting for him to speak. However, the man seemed to be a little entangled, and said slowly: "We have already engaged to the Chen family, although we didn't come to the door to send the dowry, but the Chen family's Chen Tingshi and I have been friends for many years, and if one party dissolves the marriage contract, I always feel a little sorry for this old friend." The beautiful woman waved her hand and said: "The marriage contract between our family and the Chen family was just a few years ago, why do you always take it as a serious matter, according to what I see, the daughter of the Chen family, there are more people who come to propose marriage, maybe people don't want to marry their daughter to our family." The middle-aged man shook his head: "...... In fact, in order to marry the Chen family, I also thought that Di'er would be able to save more in the future...... The Chen family is one of the most wealthy families in Kuizhou, and they have earned a lot of money in business over the years, and now I heard that the land they bought is more than 1,000 acres. Without waiting for his wife to speak, the middle-aged man continued: "But, look at that Wu Zhao, although he looks smart, but his appearance can't be eaten, if his father Wu Shi Tong is still alive, I will definitely not hesitate, after all, he is a Ying Guogong, but now that Wu Shi Tong is deceased, this girl has no father, let alone think that she can get a share of the family property, I am a clear stream, and the family does not have much savings, I am afraid that Di Er will be cold and hungry in the future." The beautiful woman listened patiently, gently patted the middle-aged man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Who said that Wuzhao didn't have a dowry, sir, you are taking a closer look at the letter that Guiguzi wrote to you at the beginning." Then let someone go and bring the letter. Soon, a young man took the envelope and handed it to the middle-aged man, only to see the beautiful woman gently pointing to the end of the letter.
"My master once had a relationship with the Wu family, and the Wu family had a life-saving grace for the Guigu lineage, so the Wu family is like the Guigu family, if Wu Zhao marries into the Di family, I Xu Yang is willing to give a dowry of a thousand gold, and I ask Di Gong to consider it more."
Seeing this, the middle-aged man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his head to the woman and asked, "Madam, I'm not mistaken, right?" This Guiguzi said that he was willing to give a dowry? ”
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "According to Guiguzi's name as the God of Wealth in Chang'an, does the husband think there can be any fake?" ”……
"Xiao Di, I think your parents don't seem to like me a little." Wu Zhao leaned in front of the honeycomb coal stove, put his little hand in front of the stove to bake the fire, and said in a daze.
"How is it possible, how I don't think so." Di Renjie tilted his head, "Just now in the hall, I think my father and mother are very polite to you?" ”
Wu Zhao shook his head and said with some frustration: "Your mother is fine, it is your father, and the feeling that I always look down on me always has a feeling of looking down on me, and it seems that I am still a little entangled in it." ”
Di Renjie patted Wu Zhao's shoulder, "It's you who are too careful, let's go, I'll take you to the backyard to watch the snow." ”…… (To be continued......)
