Yang Shiqin and his entourage came to the Governor's Mansion located in Kunming City, and the strange atmosphere in the mansion did not hide from Yang Shiqin's eyes.

"Bao Jun, eighty percent of Yiliang's affairs are coming up, this old man is old, he wants to be the governor of this term in peace and stability, Yiliang's big case, it's not the right time to come, this one is angry, you have to be careful when you talk later."

The Yang family is Bai Ding after all, although Yang Shiqin hung up the title of the head of the Kunming regiment, but this is not the official body of the right way after all, although the head of the Kunming regiment is a militia group, but it is also made of silver to sit on, He Lao Fuzi has been an official for more than 30 years, and he is the right way to the imperial examination, and the status gap between the two is still quite large.

As the chief housekeeper of the Yang family, Ding Baojun also knows that the Yang family's catties are two, in Yunnan Mansion, the Yang family is powerful, but it is not so easy to use in the officialdom, if it is not for the eldest brother to make more money, how can the Yang family have the current status?

"Zhilu Dao, you just talk, I don't intervene easily!"

After summing up, the two of them, under the guidance of the servants, entered the power core of Yunnan and Guizhou, located in the Yunnan-Guizhou Governor's Mansion in Cuihu, Kunming.

"Brother Yang is here, let's go! Let's take a seat! ”

Sixty-year-old He Changling, his body is not complete, this Yungui Governor is afraid that he is the last one in office, and he wanted to complete his nearly forty-year journey as an official in peace, but he didn't expect it to come, but it was not smooth one after another.

First the Hui-Han bloody fight in Yunnan, and then Yiliang's big case, this time he invited Yang Shiqin to come over, he wanted him to persuade the Hui and Han people who were fighting each other, but just after the dinner was prepared, Yiliang had another big case of extermination.

"Lord He, but do you have something on your mind? You don't have to pay attention to the affairs in the west, Yang is of all ethnic groups in Yunnan, and there is still a little bit of thin noodles, it is not difficult to persuade those Hui and Han people who fight for some small profits! ”

The more angry He Changling is, the more confident Yang Shiqin's heart is, if he is not angry, it is not a big deal, and if he is really angry, it means that this matter makes Lao He worried.

"Now the blood fight between the Han Dynasty is already a trivial matter, there is a big case in Yiliang, and the gentry Zhou Shiqing in Yiliang was slaughtered, if this matter reaches the capital, my old man will be roasted on the fire."

"Yiliang's Zhou Da livestock, slaughtered all over the house, this is also retribution! Although he is an official, he has done a lot of things in Yiliang except for human affairs, and he has done a lot of things that hurt nature and reason, and such a person will die when he dies, so what will he do to report to the court? Isn't it fun to find it? ”

How Yang Meng dealt with the Zhou family, Ding Baojun had already told Yang Shiqin everything, and letting He Changling cover up the Zhou family's case was the purpose of Yang Shiqin's visit.

How do you say that? That Zhou Shiqing was an official, and he was wiped out, and I, the governor, concealed the report, didn't I encourage the unhealthy atmosphere? ”

He Changling is an official and diligent, and it is not easy for him to deceive the imperial court.

"I happen to know this too, let's talk while eating?"

The more Lao He said this, the greater Yang Shiqin's chance, and as soon as Zhou Shiqing's old foundation was revealed, I was afraid that it would shock him.

"It can't be yours, right?"

He Changling is not confused, the power of the Yang family is more than enough to kill a gentry in Yiliang.

"You're trying to set up a false accusation, right? Let's talk while eating, I'll tell you about this Yiliang Zhouda livestock, and it's not too late for you to make a decision when the time comes! ”

Yang Shiqin said heartily, I really didn't do this, although Lao Tzu also had this idea, but he was preempted by his son.

"Then I'll listen to what you Yang Lao'er has to say, if you can't say it, the affairs in the west will be all handed over to you."

Two people with their own hearts, after entering the table, their minds are not on exquisite food, and solving their own troubles is the purpose of the two getting together.

"Zhou Shiqing deserves to die, raise a large number of slaves, and execute them at will; abducting young boys, girls, and beautiful women and selling them into prostitute brothels; Privately planting opium poppies, selling opium, and affecting Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guangzhou, and five provinces, such a person is also very happy to die, why should Lord He worry about such a killing?

There is also a reason why Zhou Shiqing's family was destroyed, Yiliang Dianshi was imprisoned for selling opium and raping and killing lovers, Zhou Shiqing noticed that something was wrong, so he wanted to leave Yunnan with his family assets. ”

Yang Shiqin's words made He Changling's brows jump, these things he didn't know, Yiliang Dian Shi sold opium and went to prison, he knew this matter, but he didn't expect Zhou Shiqing's case to be related to Yiliang Dian Shishi.

"Yiliang classic history, selling Zhou Shiqing's opium?"

Yiliang Dianshi has recruited all of them, and the amount of opium sold is amazing, but I didn't expect this main owner to be Zhou Shiqing, a wealthy gentleman in Yiliang.

"That Yiliang classic history, although it is an official body, what can be done is done by the people of the Zhou family, selling opium, abducting people, forcibly occupying land, and suppressing the bitter master, this master and a servant have done all the evil things, and Yunnan is fortunate to have these two scourges!"

"How dare they do such evil? Scourge the people of Yunnan? ”

He Changling is also a Qing official, and what Zhou Shiqing and Yiliang Dianshi did was difficult for him to accept.

"Not only that, I took the Zhou family's land. My lord, do you know how much the land rent of the Zhou family is? How much tax do you pay to the court in a year? ”

The affairs of the Zhou family, the Yang family's accounts have been figured out, and the taxes paid in a year for thousands of hectares of fertile land are very few, and what makes Yang Shiqin most indignant is the land rent of the Zhou family.

"The government is not good to participate in the matter of land rent, and his Zhou family is said to have thousands of acres of fertile land, and the tax should be a lot a year, right?"

He Changling came to Yunnan for too short a time, except for a Yang Shiqin, a gentry in Yunnan, he didn't know a few, this Yang Shiqin was still the previous governor, and he specially told himself to make good friends with the Yunnan gentry, otherwise what he Yang Shiqin looks like has nothing to do with him as a governor.

"The land rent of the Zhou family is ninety percent and five, but the straw and rice bran, the tenants can stay, in Zhou Shiqing's original words, that is, these tenants eat rice, that is a waste of grain, one acre of fertile land, only four hundred catties of grain and rice in two seasons a year, in the hands of the tenants, except for the seeds, the rest is all rice bran.

Zhou's manor, thousands of acres of fertile land, countless mountains, a year's tax, but more than 1,000 acres of official land under the name of the tax can not be avoided, as for other fields, all hung on the land abandoned over the years, and the Zhou family evaded a huge amount of taxes, these taxes were all spread to the people of Yiliang, these years in Yiliang planted an acre of fertile land, not as good as an acre of mountain fields in other places!

Speaking of this, it has something to do with the history of Yiliang, this adult has been operating in Yiliang for many years, and the new county respecter Jiang Yuanji was directly set up by him, apportioning land rent, bullying the people, and this adult can be regarded as having done it to the extreme.

Lao Yang, I have to thank Jiang Yuanji, if he hadn't won the history, I would have been able to pick up such a big bargain and easily get the Zhou family manor? ”

Yang Shiqin said the same, but He Changling rolled his eyes angrily, his Qingming official reputation for more than 30 years and almost 40 years in his life was almost ruined, if this matter was reported, he He Da Governor, a charge of negligence, would definitely not be able to escape.

What does the imperial court live on, that is, all kinds of taxes, Yiliang Dianshi and Zhou Shiqing are in a nest of snakes and rats, and they are under their own office, and this basin He Changling has to stand up.

"What a pair of killers! In broad daylight, in the midst of the bright future, he actually did such evil things, deceived the court, and suppressed the good, he really deserved to be killed! ”

He Changling slowed down for a long time before he scolded angrily, corrupt officials, local tyrants and inferior gentry, he has not seen it, he has seen too much of the official road for more than 30 years, it is not that there is no one who is better than these two people, but under the rule of He Changling, it is the first time in the world.

Such corruption cases may exist everywhere, but there are returns, and reporting to the court is another matter.

Concealing large amounts of taxes and deceiving and deceiving the imperial court is not a big case in the past, not to mention that he will first fall into the responsibility of a lax royal authority.

Now the imperial court is the time to use silver, Yunnan's copper class has been cut year after year, because Yunnan's finances have not been able to take care of themselves, Yunnan officials at all levels and 40,000 soldiers' salaries, military salaries, are all by the imperial court's appropriation, and the provincial salary to solve, although the imperial court there is nothing to say, but the other provinces that can allocate the salary are full of complaints.

If the news of this concealment of taxes and taxes spreads, and the provinces stop the payment under the pretext, then He Changling will become the enemy of the officials and soldiers in Yunnan.

"Wicked people like Zhou Shiqing and Yiliang Dianshi, it's not a pity to die, they just have to ask their families together, who else in Yunnan can give them grievances? This kind of thing, within a month or two, will disappear. Let Yiliang be stricter, and the right to be light and light. ”

After talking about it for a long time, this sentence is Yang Shiqin's heart, and this has now become He Changling's heart, yes! At least for the sake of his own worst journey, he should do this, not to mention that this matter is obviously for the sake of officials at all levels in Yunnan.

"The matter of returning from the west, you Brother Yang still have to worry about it!"

He Changling is going to send off guests, Yang Shiqin has achieved his goal, and he doesn't want to be inferior here, so he nodded and agreed to say that Xiang Huihan's bloody fight, and then said goodbye and left.

"This officer! can't do it, no matter how good a person is in this officialdom, he will be melted into a puddle of rotten iron. ”

On the way back, Yang Shiqin sighed, this is the official of the Qing Dynasty, He Changling is famous, and he is also a layman who only thinks about fame and fortune.

Yang Shiqin sighed about this matter, but Jiang Yuanji got a strict order from the Governor's Mansion, and before the autumn decision, the Yiliang Dianshi family reached blood mold and was directly killed in the torture hall.

And Zhou Shiqing's case is even simpler, after the traffickers were killed, Quan Dang never had such an incident, and the old and young of the Zhou family, including a group of family members, were all buried in a mass grave overnight.

The Zhou family's taxes naturally disappeared, and thousands of hectares of fertile land and countless mountains and forests disappeared out of thin air in the archives of the imperial court.

It's not that I don't want to levy taxes, but I can't levy them, and if this precedent is opened, things in Yunnan will be in chaos, and the land tax has always been a mess.

This time, the Zhou family and the Yiliangdian Shi family were destroyed, and the Yang family was the only one who cheapened it, not only got the Zhou family's land for nothing, but also did not pay taxes.

Yang Meng made a windfall there, dealing with Yiliangdian History, and repeatedly raided his home, and got nearly two million goods. Needless to say, the Zhou family has more than 3 million dollars in silver, and other things have not yet come up with a price.

For Yang Meng's drug-making workshop, the five thousand quintals of high-grade cloud soil are really a windfall, as long as the eldest brother's side goes well, the value of these five thousand quintals of cloud soil will far exceed the sum of the income this time.

Tang Youwu slaughtered Zhou Da's livestock with his own hands, and he also had to collect the fishing line, and if he floated like this, if he got off the hook, he would not regret Yang Meng's death?
