Li Yan's every move was under the sight of Jiangnan officials.

He dispatched the Shenji battalion and cavalry out, so naturally he couldn't hide it from anyone who had a heart.

By the time he reached the gates, there were already a number of officials waiting for him.

"Master Li, where are you going?"

The person at the head was Ye Chengwen, and he asked, with some doubt in his eyes.

During this period of time, Li Yan did not go out, and only refused those gifts sent to the door.

Ye Chengwen and others thought that Li Yan was bent on being a "good person", not getting involved in the affairs of Jiangnan, and just waiting for the money to be enough to return to Beijing to resume his life.

However, today, after listening to the advice of his subordinates, Li Yan hurried out with his soldiers and horses.

Go out and bring cavalry guards, even the Shenji Battalion has been brought!

Suddenly, Ye Chengwen couldn't sit still. He absolutely couldn't let Li Yan out of his control. So, I immediately brought someone over.

Li Yan looked at it, there were not many officials who came, basically they were all from Ye Chengwen's family, and the rest of the people, I don't know if they haven't gotten the news yet, or if they feel that the gift has been delivered, they don't take it seriously anymore after feeding Li Yan.

But it doesn't matter, soon, these people will take it very seriously.

Li Yan waved his hand, and the Shenji Battalion behind him stopped.

He looked at Ye Chengwen with a smile and said, "It just so happens that Lord Ye is also here, today's matter really has something to do with Lord Ye!"

"Oh, I don't know what's going on?" Ye Chengwen's brows furrowed slightly.

Li Yan waved his hand, and immediately, a cavalryman handed a letter to Ye Chengwen.

"Lord Ye will know it by looking at it. Li Yan said with a smile, "This morning, I received a report from someone who said that the Ye family had hidden a large number of acres of land and evaded taxes......

"That's just nonsense...... How can this be reasonable!" Ye Chengwen took the letter and glanced at it, his face suddenly turned pale, he threw the letter to the ground fiercely, stepped on it with his foot, spit on it, and said sadly: "Master Li Mingjian, Ye Mou is dedicated to the country, with clean sleeves and loyalty." Not only did they pay taxes, but they also made up the previous taxes. Also, the number of acres of our Ye family's fields is all for the purpose of Lord Li himself, and the tax money is also Lord Li, how can there be a problem with your review? This is clearly a false accusation to frame my Ye family!"

Ye Chengwen's face was sad and angry, with tears and snot, that is called an acting school, which really makes people cry and listen to it.

Li Yan was also shocked, and said with a solemn face: "Lord Ye, I naturally understand, how can I do such a thing of tax evasion? However, someone reported that this is also related to Lord Ye's reputation. Lord Ye, don't worry, I will definitely see through everything and clear your grievances!"

"Then thank you, Lord Chincha. Ye Chengwen looked moved, and then asked, "I don't know who sued this official?"

"Oh, it's a coincidence, you also know this person, Lord Ye. Li Yan laughed.

"Oh?" Ye Chengwen's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt, and he doubted in his heart, couldn't it be those officials who were blushing and hugging their thighs?

At this moment, beside Li Yan, a tall horse stepped forward, and a woman in armor said loudly: "It's no one else who sues you, it's me!"

Rumble......

Suddenly, there was an uproar all around.

No one thought that the person who wrote this complaint letter would be the red lady.

And Ye Chengwen's complexion suddenly turned from red to blue, and then from green to white, his pale complexion seemed to be smeared with a layer of powder, and the beads of sweat on his forehead came down.

Ye Chengwen is not stupid, to be an official to achieve this position, in addition to the shadow of his father, he is naturally indispensable to his own shrewdness.

Who is the red lady? That's Li Yan's wife.

The red lady sued him Ye Chengwen, wouldn't it be equivalent to Li Yan suing him Ye Chengwen?

I have given all the gifts I should have given, is it possible, Li Yan really wants the lion to open his mouth?

Ye Chengwen didn't react at this time, Li Yan represented the emperor. Among them, the traditional literati and officials, people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, do not make a fortune when they become officials, and read the books of sages and sages in vain.

They couldn't think of it, and they couldn't figure it out, Li Yan didn't plan to collect money from beginning to end, but set up a bureau to wait for their group of old foxes to take the initiative to get in.

Seeing Ye Chengwen's sluggish face, Li Yan smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a little meaning: "Lord Ye, you don't have to worry. I believe you. However, as a messenger, I am burdened with the emperor's order, and the process that should be followed still has to be followed, and if someone sues you, I will have to do it. Otherwise, I won't be able to give an account to the emperor. But don't worry, as long as you don't evade taxes, I'll teach this girl a hard lesson and let him apologize to you......"

The second half of the sentence was not spoken, but everyone heard the meaning of the words. Suddenly, everyone couldn't help but tremble, especially the other officials, those who had concealed a large number of acres of land, at this time, they all trembled like chaff and lowered their heads, for fear that Li Yan would see him and find out about his head.

However, the one who should come can't be hidden.

Li Yan looked around for a week, and saw a group of officials shrinking their necks like quails, a trace of disdain flashed in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, adults, come one by one, I believe that you are innocent, this official is fair and strict, and if you meet your adults like confidants, you will definitely not let anything wronged happen to you, and when you finish checking the Ye family, you will go to your grange to have a look!"

"Puff ......"

An official finally couldn't stand it anymore, fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and was scared and fainted.

Li Yan didn't blink his eyes, he rode his horse directly, and whipped his whip: "Lord Ye, lead the way." In my account book, I remember clearly that the Ye family has 3,000 acres of paddy fields and 1,000 acres of dry land. I believe in Lord Ye's character. If there is anything extra, it must be some borderless land, and the Ye family will take care of it...... When the time comes, I will thank Lord Ye for Your Majesty and for the people who have no land in this world!"

Li Yan ...... You are so vicious......" Ye Chengwen can reflect even if he is stupid at this time. Li Yan is going to sweep away all the land of their Ye family. Their Ye family, that is 20,000 hectares of fertile land, if it is according to the land deed in the account book, it can only be one percent.

This is not wool, this is simply picking sheepskins, eating mutton, drinking blood, and knocking out their bone marrow and squeezing them dry.

Regret not being at the beginning!

Ye Chengwen thought about everything in his heart, and suddenly felt a breath of anger, resentment, and hatred blocked in his chest, his eyes stared out like dead fish, staring at Li Yan deadly, stretching out his hand and trembling to say something, but he didn't say a word.

"Poof......" finally couldn't hold it back, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out.

"Yo, it seems that Lord Ye has been a little angry recently, you send two people to escort Lord Ye back to his house. ”

Li Yan sneered, and immediately waved his whip and led the Shenji Battalion towards the grange outside the city.

That endless fertile land is the hope of the Ming Dynasty.
