These thieves who are halfway out of the house are not meticulous, Yang Yiqing flickered in a few sentences, and gave a big stick of sweet dates, and these thieves took all the things.

"You say you are villagers under Huanghua Mountain?" Yang Yiqing asked.

"The little one has been begging for a living at the foot of Huanghua Mountain since his ancestors, and he wants to... If it weren't for the fact that life couldn't go on, the little ones wouldn't have gone up the mountain to be thieves. The thief lying on the ground had some sadness in his tone, but he didn't regret it.

Why do so many bandits gather in Huanghua Mountain, the reason is very simple, but there is nothing to be done when you know it, your arms can't reach your thighs, not to mention the farmers who are digging in the field.

"The land under Huanghua Mountain is King Gong's farm." Gao Jin sighed: "A few years ago, it happened to be a year of hunger, and it was not easy for the people. ”

Gao Jinsan brought the matter of the village under Huanghua Mountain in a few words, but what it contained was the beginning of the miserable half life of countless farmers.

Zhuangtian is different from other fields, according to the provisions of the Great Ming Law, after the field is requisitioned by the government as Zhuangtian, the original owner of the field will become a tenant, the land is not only gone, but also to pay rent, and the harvest year can also fill the stomach, and when the famine year is not accepted, it is trivial to sell children and daughters, and what is more terrible is that the field rent will not be reduced by a point because of the disaster year.

Most of the flower girls and kiln sisters on the flower street in Yangqu County were sold in the famine a few years ago.

Compared with the official master who sits in the Ming Hall and doesn't eat minced meat, no one has ever tasted the suffering of the people.

The peasants went up to the mountains to become thieves, and the rich merchants spendthrift.

Jiang Banxia's mind kept alternating between the extravagant scenes in the casino and the hungry and cold people.

"Adults bodhisattva hearts, we have no way to live." The man buried his head and prostrate.

According to the confession of these three people, the flower thief caught by the county government was their big boss, and what they did was not to pick flowers but to rob money.

The goal of their robbery is mostly on the rich sons, and most of the rich sons who have been robbed are silent to the outside world for the sake of face.

What eye-catching glamorous and affectionate reverie is subjected to the top, and there is the legend of the female flower thief in Taiyuan Mansion.

"Don't fool us." He Qiaoyi said with a questioning attitude: "I have seen it with my own eyes when you are in charge, that... It's just... Sao, can it be like only robbing money and not sex? ”

After speaking, He Qiao leaned and subconsciously rubbed his arm, it was too responsive.

"The big boss... It wasn't like this before. The person kneeling on the ground hurriedly defended: "It was after the death of the third lady that he became like this." ”

At the mention of the three ladies, the three thieves wept one after another, and sad and angry expressions floated on their faces together.

There must be a story in it that cannot be mentioned.

"Okay, this is the county office, what kind of system is crying and crying." The county man impatiently told the three to shut up.

"Master, how do you think we will settle this case?" The county turned his head and flattered Gao Jin: "Why don't you take the three of them to blame?" ”

"What crime?" Jiang Banxia suddenly said loudly: "According to the law of Da Ming, those who have lost prisoners will be reduced to the second degree, and if the prisoner is dead, they will be exempted from the prison department." ”

"Since Wang Dali has died in prison, the confession of Widow Hu in Chengdong is not established, so Wang Mu will be convicted of murder according to the first-instance verdict, and Widow Hu's family will come to the official to redeem it, and the case will be closed." Jiang Banxia said: "In this way, adults don't have to be embarrassed." ”

"But, these people intend to rob the prison..."The county can't turn his mind.

"Isn't this a robbery yet?" He Qiaoyi reminded: "Besides, what is going on with Widow Hu's case, you know much better than us in the county, you really have to count it..."

He Qiaoyi snorted coldly: "You don't want to make things bigger, right?" ”

If the case of Widow Hu continues to be investigated, it will inevitably involve the Kaiyuan Gambling House, and if the left and right are implicated, the five surnames of Taiyuan Mansion will offend the two, and this case cannot be investigated, and it must not be investigated again!

The county man figured out the cold sweat on his head behind the joint, and he hurriedly said to Gao Jin: "Master, according to the lower officials, it is safest to close the case in this way." ”

"That's fine." It is safer for both ends to take a step back for now.

"Someone!" Gao Jin summoned the left and right officials and said, "Put these three people in prison." ”

The officials clenched their fists and replied, "Yes! ”

The case of Widow Hu is settled, but the case of the flower thief cannot be concluded, Gao Jin is in a dilemma on both sides, one is legal and the other is reasonable.

According to the law of Da Ming, all prisoners are beheaded, no matter what the reason, these people fortunately haven't made a move, this article can't be counted, but the crime of robbing people's money confessed earlier is not to be followed, and it is also going to lose their heads!

These people are not heinous and wicked people, they are all people who have no choice but to do it, if they have land and money, who will go to the mountains to be thieves.

"Detention first, even if you are sentenced to imprisonment, you will have to wait for the autumn, and the time in between will be long." Jiang Banxia said with a little deep meaning: "Maybe you can get forgiveness." ”

Out of the county office, Yang Yiqing invited Jiang Banxia and the others to go to the restaurant to have a drink.

The faces of the three of them were not very good, if it weren't for the matter of Zhuangtian today, no one would have remembered that Taiyuan Mansion was the fief of King Gong.

"King Gong is the younger brother of Jinshang." He Qiaoyi picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth: "The emperor loves King Gong the most, and he left people in Kyoto because of the bitter cold in the northwest." ”

I didn't expect people to stay in Kyoto, and they actually requisitioned land here.

Yang Yiqing, who was sitting opposite, also picked up peanuts and ate them: "The land is given to King Gong today, and we can't say anything." ”

Jiang Banxia sneered and said: "All the granges in the world are occupied by the clans, and the land is not taxed, and the magistrates can't control it, but these people receive money every month, and no matter how big the treasury is, there will always be a day when it is hollowed out." ”

"Be careful." Yang Yiqing interrupted Jiang Banxia's words and said, "You and I can only be silent about the relationship with the palace. ”

Jiang Banxia's heart was very depressed, she had an indescribable feeling blocked in her chest, whether it was anger or shock, she couldn't tell.

It was as if the broken Daming was stretched out in front of her eyes for the first time.

"Little Brother Jiang, I very much agree with what you said before." Yang Yiqing's mood was also not good, he took a sip of the wine in the cup and said: "Saving a person is not saving people but harming people, and saving thousands of people in Daming is called for help." ”

He thought of the women who were dragged into the flower building that day, and the scenes in his mind kept repeating themselves, whether a country is strong or not, as long as you look at how their women and children survive, you can get a glimpse of one or two.

The two words of life are the difficult voices of many people at the bottom.

Jiang Banxia looked up at the sky, she remembered that when she left, Cao Yu said to her that she had investigated the tea horse separately, Yang Yiqing patrolled the tea, and patrolled the tea for Long Live for the general, which was nothing more than to ask for the greedy silver for the current general.

Lack of money everywhere and squandering everywhere, greedy beetles, let the entire dynasty slowly collapse from the inside.
