In the next two days, Lin Feng successively instructed Zhu Shi, Duan Fangxing, Chen Mazi and others to finalize the layout for the first issue of "Business Daily" and the first batch of handicrafts, and instructed them to work overtime day and night to catch up with the progress, and be sure to take it out at the time of the World Merchants Conference; During this period, he continued to discuss with Xi Mucheng and Lu Jiang about the details of the merchant conference and the Academy of Sciences, and he was very busy, and the time soon came to June 2.

It was a rare overcast day in the summer, and although the air was stuffy and humid, it was not very hot.

At nearly noon, the important officials of the Assassin's Mansion and the Central Governor's Mansion who received the order gathered in front of the Assassin's Mansion and sat down behind two rows of tables and chairs in front of the gate to witness the adjudication of the Anfengtang land dispute. Representatives of the villagers, villagers from 12 villages near Anfengtang, and citizens who watched the excitement surrounded the square in front of the Assassin's Mansion.

Xi Mucheng presided over the scene, and according to Lin Feng's instructions, he first asked each of the twelve villages to select a representative to enter the mansion and ask if there was any disputed land between the villages. As a result, only two neighboring villages were directly judged by Lin Feng on the grounds that they were based on the original data because they were merged and packaged for sale when Liu Yanzhen was repeatedly sold. Subsequently, the twelve villagers drew lots to determine the order before and after, and received the serial numbers from 1 to 12 respectively.

Subsequently, the public sentencing meeting began. The basic procedure is the same, first of all, the villager supervision representative of each village is invited to come forward, swear in public whether there is any selfish fraud in the villager representative, and then the masses are consulted on the spot to see if there is any objection, and then the villager representative is asked to hand over the list of original land owners in each village.

The top three villages had no problem, Lin Feng praised it greatly, and immediately presented an honorarium of 100 wen to each villager representative and supervisory representative. One of the villagers' representatives, who was obviously a living treasure and loved the appearance, deliberately held the money in his hands and showed it in front of the crowd, causing a burst of laughter and envy.

When we arrived at the fourth village, when the three supervising representatives had just come out to say that the village land survey was impartial, a voice shouted in the crowd:

"They lie!"

In the noisy voice, this faint voice was still heard by Lin Feng, who immediately stood up, pointed to the crowd and said, "Who is speaking?" Please stand up! ”

The crowd fell silent all of a sudden, and all of them quickly turned their heads to search for the person who had just spoken, but at this time, no one answered again.

Lin Feng walked into the crowd, walked to an old woman with her head down, and said softly, "Grandma, did you just speak?" Don't worry, Lin is in charge for you, just talk about it! ”

The old woman raised her head slightly, lowered her voice, and said, "One of the supervisory representatives of our village and several villager representatives are relatives. I've heard that a person in our village who was forced to commit suicide and a dead old man's land were discussed by a few of them to divide themselves, and we big guys wanted to see the list of the worst, but they wouldn't let them! ”

Lin Feng was immediately annoyed and roared angrily: "Zhao Zanting! ”

Zhao Zanting, who was fully armed, came out of the ranks.

"Take ten brothers and escort them back to the village, and find out the truth immediately! If this is true, all five deputies and three overseer deputies will be imprisoned, and all the rewards they deserve will go to this old woman! If it is a false accusation, this old woman Dai Sheng will be shown to the public for a day! Lin Feng commanded loudly.

Zhao Zanting immediately led people to take action, isolated the nine parties from the crowd, put them on three large carriages with the word "gong" written on them, and hurried south.

Lin Feng paced back to the front of the crowd again, and said loudly: "Lin pays attention to fairness, justice, and transparency in doing things!" You have done well, you have done it right, you can stand the test of inspection, I will reward you for your merits, if you want to be opportunistic and misbehaving, I will never forgive! Go on! ”

With the demonstration effect of this old woman, three more villages were exposed by the villagers present one after another, and they were also escorted back to the villages by Lin Feng to verify the scene.

In fact, one-third of the villagers' representatives and supervisory representatives of the village collectively committed fraud! For such a result, Lin Feng couldn't help frowning, it seems that it is not enough to have an open and transparent way, the people's own ** and sense of rights are the basic premise, no wonder bribery and election fraud are rampant in the rural direct election in later generations!

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, knelt on the ground with a "plop", handed over a bloody letter, and shouted repeatedly: "Wronged!" Please Lord Lin to call the shots for the villain! ”

Lin Feng stepped forward, helped him up with both hands, and then faced the people and shouted loudly: "As long as Lin is in Shouzhou for a day, there are two rules that must be implemented, I hope all the fathers and villagers can remember it!"

The first one, there is gold under the men's knees, and gold under the women's knees, and our knees can kneel to the heavens and the earth, and the elders can kneel to the saints, but in addition, it is not unnecessary, and we should never kneel to anyone, and bow down to others! Lin is young, immoral and incompetent, and never dares to accept anyone's bowing! You walked over, pulled Lin's sleeve and spoke, Lin welcomed with a smile, if you knelt down, no matter how big the grievance was, Lin would not ask! ”

"Wow-" The crowd immediately set off an upsurge of excited discussions, what a new thing, the past dynasties have never heard of the thorn history who is not allowed to kneel, especially Liu Yanzhen, the previous Shouzhou thorn history, often takes a group of pro-acropolis horses, kneels slowly, hides slowly, and only takes a whip to burn high incense!

"This Lord Lin is really a good official that is rare in a thousand years!" In the crowd, an old man couldn't help but sigh.

"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?" A scholar next to the old man immediately picked up the conversation with disdain, "I am familiar with history books, and there have been few really good officials in the past thousands of years!" If you don't believe me, we'll see! ”

Lin Feng and the others calmed down, and then said: "Second, all the people of Shouzhou can go to the Thorn Mansion at any time to sound drums and shout grievances, and they can also stop Lin Mou from handing over the paper at any time. Those who can solve it on the spot will never delay the day; If it cannot be solved on the spot, according to the actual situation, promise to solve it within how many days! ”

The old man in the crowd turned to the scholar and said proudly, "Listen, how many of your books are as good as Lord Lin?" Look at how many good things Master Lin has done for the people of Shouzhou since he came? There is hope for our Shouzhou! ”

The young man hesitated, and immediately retorted: "Which new official does not burn three fires when he takes office?" It will take a long time to see people's hearts! ”

Lin Feng turned to the middle-aged man and asked him to explain his grievances. The middle-aged man wiped his tears and told his bitterness. His name is Gao Ping, and he is also a villager near Anfengtang, he went out to do business when he was young, and returned to the township with his wife the year before last. He wanted to repent, but was beaten up by the person who claimed to be the assassin. Last year, there was no water in the field for irrigation, and it was robbed again, and his wife took the child back to her parents' house in a rage, and he could only live alone in Shouzhou.

Xi Mucheng stood up and explained loudly: "No matter how big the world is, it can't be a single word, this village was originally robbed by Liu Yanzhen from other villagers, similar to stolen goods." Although you have been deceived personally, it does not change the fact that the ten acres of land were stolen! ”

When Gao Ping heard this, he immediately squatted down and hugged the number one Tao and cried.

Lin Feng stopped his crying and invited the representative of Gao Ping's village to inquire carefully, and what Gao Ping said was confirmed.

Lin Feng raised his hand, motioned for everyone to be quiet, pointed at Gao Ping and said, "The culprit of the land dispute in Anfengtang is that Liu Yanzhen. The Assassin Mansion bears some responsibility for this matter, and it should compensate all the victims. However, everyone knows that this year's rent in Shouzhou has been exempted, and without financial support, Liu Yanzhen's family property has been copied to the capital. However, the law is nothing more than human affection, Brother Gao, I will arrange a job for you in Shouzhou Supermarket, which can be regarded as an apology from the Assassin Mansion to you personally, okay? ”

The middle-aged man was already disheartened when he heard what Lin Feng said, but when he suddenly heard the most difficult arrangement, his body trembled, and he looked at Lin Feng in disbelief. Some time ago, when the supermarket was recruiting people in the city, he also signed up, but he was politely rejected because he was too old, and he didn't expect that he suddenly had an opportunity today, with a salary of at least 200 yuan a month, and he could even persuade his wife and children back with this!

Gao Ping immediately knelt down and shouted, "I Gao Ping will never forget Lord Lin's kindness for the rest of my life!" After shouting, he suddenly remembered the rule that Lin Feng had just set not to kneel, and immediately hesitated, and the person stood there stiffly.

Lin Feng smiled and grabbed him, and said loudly: "Don't take it as an example!" Gao Ping grinned embarrassedly.

At this moment, another shout came from the crowd: "Lord Lin, the villain also has a great grievance!" ”
