Poor Mrs. Chen, although he is very harsh on the tenants in the village, the land rent is set very high, and he is never soft on rent collection and tax collection, but where can he compare to a more advanced means of expropriation?

It's just that for a short time, the upper part of Bianjing City has two mouths and one piece, and more than 100 pieces of land have been collected from his Chenjiazhuang, which is only the land in the east of the village, how can Mrs. Chen not faint in fear?

Seeing Mrs. Chen fainting, Lin Wanrong just smiled coldly, and then ordered someone to step forward and pinch him, and when he woke up, he said: "Mrs. Chen, don't be excited, I still have ...... here."

Mrs. Chen cried and shouted: "Poor, poor, my Chenjiazhuang has little land and few things, and I am overwhelmed?" Please have mercy! ”

Lin Wanrong said: "You can go to the yamen to shout grievances, or you can go to Tokyo Bianliang Palace to beat the drum, the Son of Heaven Shengming, will definitely handle it impartially." But before that, you have to pay the rent you owe, you see, according to the documents in your village, the number of acres of land in the Xikou area on the east side of Chenjiazhuang is 493 acres, you see? ”

Mrs. Chen said dumbfoundedly: "Yes." ”

Lin Wanrong sneered and said: "This morning, the three stewards of the Xicheng Office, with thirty errands, together with fifty laborers in your village, used the music ruler stipulated by the state to accurately measure, and came up with a total of 536 acres of land, which is actually 41 acres more, why is this? ”

Mrs. Chen was shocked and said, "Superior, wronged, my land was measured by the clerk in the yamen, how could it be wrong?" ”

"Hmph, the music ruler promulgated by the imperial court is the most accurate, what's wrong? I didn't say it, there are forty-one acres more in the land to the east, and I will be confiscated from the officials, and I will set up a rental class and pay the rent at the current price, and there must be no mistakes! ”

Mrs. Chen kowtowed again and again, and said: "Poor mercy, poor merciful, Xiao Zhuang'er is just smashing pots and selling iron, and the whole family is shaved, and they can't make up so many taxes!" ”

Lin Wanrong shook her head and sighed: "Mrs. Chen, I verify the documents and data, all of which are in accordance with the law, fair and strict.

Xicheng is the tongue of the official family to control the public land, and you and others deceive the upper and lower levels and annex the public land, which is an unforgivable sin.

However, the Son of Heaven is merciful and gives you a chance to mend your ways, and you still speak wisely. Do you think that my court of law is child's play? ”

His voice became more and more severe, and Mrs. Chen was already so frightened that he was sweating like pulp, and his mind was lost, where could he say anything else, only kowtowing there like pounding garlic, shouting, "Mercy on the poor." ”

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, Lin Wanrong frowned, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

One person entered, and said: "Back to the forest envoy, the subordinates found a descendant in the courtyard, with a dagger in his arms, intending to be close to the living room, obviously plotting against him, so he took him down, this person struggled, and injured several public officials, and made a noise to the adult office, and the subordinates deserved death." ”

"Oh? Someone has bad intentions, bring it up, let someone take a look, this blue sky and white sun, bright and clear, who is so bold? ”

"Yes!" When the man heard this, he turned and went out, and in a short time he took a young man with him, and he struggled there.

When Mrs. Chen saw it, she was instantly so frightened that she didn't sweat anymore, her mouth stopped stammering, and she shouted: "Mercy on the poor, this is the little Chen Jiatong, who has always been reckless and ignorant, it must be a misunderstanding, the official forgives, and the little old man should be thanked." ”

Lin Wanrong ignored Mrs. Chen and asked, "You are Chen Jiatong, why are you carrying a dagger, could it be that you have bad intentions?" ”

Chen Jiatong struggled desperately, and shouted in his mouth: "Wu Na dog official, tyrannical expropriation, clever and reckless, heaven and earth are not tolerated!" ”

Lin Wanrong sneered: "First, the documents I issued are all made by the government, and they have not been touched; Second, I expropriated public land for the official family, a piece of public heart, heaven and earth can be learned; Third, you threaten the government, but you are guilty, pull it down, report it to the county government, and judge the crime according to the law! ”

Several errand officers sang a big promise, and they were about to take Chen Jiatong down.

Mrs. Chen was in a hurry, went up and grabbed her son, turned her head to Lin Wanrong and said: "Mercy, mercy, the tax of my Chenjiazhuang, the little old man must hand over the tax without any difference, and he must hand it over without any difference!" ”

Lin Wanrong stretched out her hand to stop the public's pull, and said with a smile: "I'm not an unkind person, since you have a good attitude and are willing to pay the lease taxes and fees you owe, I won't embarrass you, it's just that your son is reckless and ignorant......"

Mrs. Chen hurriedly said: "It's hard to go on a mission, and the little old man still has a white jade Guanyin in his family, and he is willing to ask the top to appreciate it." ”

"White Jade Guanyin?" Lin Wanrong was slightly stunned, thinking that this white jade Guanyin was very valuable, and it was rare to be able to fall into the villagers' homes. turned his head, but saw a splash in the county and said: "Uncle Lin, the white jade Guanyin he said is his daughter, fifteen years old, the most graceful and charming, known as the white jade Guanyin." ”

Lin Wanrong suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Even so, I'll go and appreciate it first." ”

When Mrs. Chen saw him move, his heart was like a knife, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as the son is okay, sacrificing a baby daughter is worth it. If you let this upper mission stop snooping on other fields, it will be bleeding in your heart, and that's it.

Lin Wanrong walked to the door, suddenly turned around and said: "Brother Li, next you are responsible for inspecting the fields in other places in Chenjiazhuang, and you must carefully understand that all the land deeds must be complete, and they cannot be checked without evidence; Wherever there is a desolation in the heavens, do not let people cultivate and collect rent. ”

At that moment, one of them bowed his hand and said, "Brother Lin, rest assured, his subordinates will definitely check carefully, and they will never miss a single thing." ”

When Mrs. Chen heard this, her legs weakened and she fell to the ground.

Not long after, in a boudoir in Chenjiazhuang, there was a girl's cry of pain and a man's laughter.

On the second day, news came that the Xicheng Institute judged that Chenjiazhuang had escaped 270 acres of public land, and 840 acres of hidden natural wilderness and waste embankments, and that the Xicheng Institute immediately ordered Chenjiazhuang to lease and cultivate, and to pay 2,500 yuan in arrears of rent in previous years, and the white jade Guanyin of the Chen family was taken away by Lin Wanrong, and there has been no news since then.

In this way, the gold, silver, silk, jade, and grain accumulated by the Chen family were all scavenged, and the well-known high-class families in Yanggu County were reduced to abject poverty overnight.

Three days later, Hongtai Village was investigated, because the folk land deeds were grinding, turning and moving, resulting in a total of 965 acres of land without a deed certificate, measured by the ruler, there were 465 acres of public land that were confiscated into the officials, and the arrears of rent were 5,000 yuan, and 60 people died if they did not obey the cane. The next day, 30 women hanged themselves.

After another five days, 3,000 acres of dikes and silt land in Feihong Village were turned into public land, and the villagers were ordered to lease them, and they demanded that the rent owed to the public family for several years be 6,000 yuan, and 48 people who dared to resist were killed with rods, 42 women were hanged that day, 78 households were reduced to extreme poverty, and more than 300 people were homeless and living on the streets.

In just half a month, half of Yanggu County has been reduced to a hell on earth, and people who have been displaced, sold their children and daughters, and hanged themselves abound.

At this time, it was the sixth year of the Great Song Dynasty, the most prosperous era in the history books, the country where the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials enjoyed themselves, but there was a small county, the people were displaced, and the destitute and bankrupt abounded.

In stark contrast, Yanggu County sings every night, and entertainment venues such as Lion Tower, Zishifang, and Jinxianju are brightly lit and cheerful.

On the fifteenth day of Lin Wanrong's entry into Yanggu, a 500-man commanding infantry army entered the territory of Yanggu County and was stationed in the east of the county.

All this news, every day there are fast horses into Zhujiazhuang.
