The old man nodded.

Only then did he face Fusu and shouted sadly:

"Hui Gongzi, the old man wants to report this Yunyang County order, oppress the people, loot the people's ointment, and collect taxes privately!"

"You are talking nonsense, where did the people of the countryside dare to slander their officials in front of their sons."

"Do you know what a crime it is to slander local officials!"

Jing Kaizhong panicked and angry, half refuting and half threatening.

Han Min scolded sharply: "Shut up, in front of the son, how can you speak!" ”

Jing Kai shrunk his neck, then looked at Fusu, walked a few steps forward and kowtowed:

"Childe, this untouchable slanders the lower officials, please investigate it."

Fusu saw that he didn't feel guilty at all, but instead bit the people indiscriminately.

Suddenly angry, cold and icy, words like needles.

"Who is a pariah and who is noble, are you?"

The last two words were bitten very hard, like an iron pestle nailed down.

Jing Kaizhong knew that he had lost his words, and immediately kowtowed heavily to ask for guilt.

Fusu ignored it and motioned to the old man to continue.

The old man staggered and said:

"Last autumn, the Yunyang county government levied three grain taxes in Dawang Township."

"The first time is 50 out of 10, the second time is 3 out of 5, and the third time is 1 out of 2."

"In the end, only 10% of the rations were left for the grass people."

"The grass people have a family of five, how can they live on this ration all year round."

"The three-year-old child had already starved to death, and the grass people had no choice but to go to the mountains to dig up some grass roots and wild vegetables to satisfy the hunger of the family."

Speaking of this, the old man's face was sad and angry, and he cried blood, so he was not sad.

Fusu was even more sad when he heard this, and the taxes in Daqin were already heavy.

Fifty percent was paid, and the rest was just enough for civilians to barely make ends meet.

This Jing Kai's heavy shot is ninety percent, which is clearly forcing people to death.

Qin unified the six countries and achieved a stable foundation and prosperity for Great Qin.

In this great country, the people should live and work in peace and contentment, but they don't know that they are especially starving to death.

"Jing Kaizhong, what the people say, you can confess!"

Fusu's eyes were full of awe-inspiring meaning, and he shouted in the hall.

"Childe, the lower official is wronged, Childe can't listen to his words."

"The matter of paying taxes is to obey my Great Qintian Law, how dare the lower officials act like this."

When the old man saw him quibbling, he howled angrily with red eyes:

"If the county magistrate doesn't recognize it, do you want the grass people to present the child's bones to the hall?"

Seeing this situation, several other people brought by Han Min knelt on the ground one after another.

"Caomin and others can testify that Dawang Township has received nearly ninety percent of the grain three times, and we have not been full for a long time."

"What Liu Laohan said is true."

"Yes, the grass people don't dare to say anything, everything is true, son."

Fusu's face was cold, "Jing Kaizhong, don't you recognize it!" ”

The spring cold of February has not yet passed, but Jing Kaizhong's face is already dripping with cold sweat.

He gritted his teeth and said: "The lower official doesn't admit it, and the lower official hasn't done it." ”

"Please don't listen to slander."

Hearing this, not only the people in the hall were furious, but even the people outside the hall were glaring.

They are all residents of Yunyang County, and although their families are rich, they will not have no food to eat like in the township.

But on weekdays, Jing Kaizhong is not far behind the looting of the city.

Now I see him so strongly, and there is a well-known son Fusu sitting in the hall.

Immediately report it regardless of it.

"Childe, we can also testify."

"Jing Kaizhong is a prestige in the county on weekdays, and if any family is not as good as he wants, he will offer property or food."

"Jing Kaizhong will let the men of that family go to the poor mountains and bad waters to dig mountains and cut trees, and they also say that it is for the official road."

The rest of the people chimed in.

For a while, there was a lot of noise in the hall, and the people talked about what Jing Kaizhong had done.

All of them are outrageous and chill Fusu's heart.

"Han Min, you find a few close servants to record what the people said one by one, and there must be no omissions."

Fu Su Senran stared at Jing Kaizhong, who didn't dare to raise his head, and said coldly:

"Bring the Linyu up."

The two soldiers escorted Linyu forward, and as soon as they saw Fusu, Linyu immediately kowtowed and shouted:

"The lower official is guilty, and the son spares his life."

Gan Ji presented Linyu's confession to Fusu, and then unfolded it and placed it in front of Jing Kaizhong at Fusu's signal.

The above is interrogated by Gan Ji, and every sentence is evidence of Jing Kaizhong's crime of being powerful and blessed in Yunyang over the years.

In addition to selling grain privately and looting people's ointment.

There are even cases of beating people to death in order to grab fertile fields.

As soon as Jing Kaizhong saw his legs, he went weak and sat down on the ground.

But then he thought of the exploits of his ancestors, as long as there was no empirical evidence.

Let these people say that the sky is broken, and there are people who can keep him.

He gritted his teeth and retorted: "Childe, this Linchu did something behind the back of the lower official, but in the end he was framed by the lower official. ”

"It's really hateful, and I ask the son to punish Linyu heavily, and return the official to a clean slate."

"Your ......, my lord"

"You don't talk nonsense, one by one, and you didn't do that."

"It's ....., it's what I did, and that's what you did."

"You told your subordinates to do it."

"You're just talking nonsense!"

"You trusted you through the official, and you did those things in the name of the official without authorization, and you bit back."

"Linchan, this official really misjudged you!"

The two blushed and quarreled in the hall, and Fusu pinched his eyebrows with a headache and waved his hand down.

Gan Ji immediately stepped forward and scolded: "Bold, in front of the son, how can you be allowed to make noise here." ”

The two of them closed their mouths and sat on the ground, still panting roughly in their throats, and their eyes were bloodshot like spider webs, looking very terrible.

The three Fu Liangru, who had been watching the audience from the side, had already broken their courage.

At this time, they all hung their heads and did not dare to come out.

Fusu finally looked at them, "You three." ”

did not wait for Nan Lisheng and Tan Ji to react.

Fu Liangru immediately stepped forward and knelt down and said:

"Childe, not long after Jing Kaizhong took office, he found the villain, claiming that there was a lot of grain in the private land, and the house couldn't eat it all, so the rest was sold to the villain."

"He is the commander of Yunyang County, and the villain does not dare to offend, so he has to agree."

"Where did you know, it was actually rationing."

He kowtowed again and again, "The villain is guilty, and the villain is willing to present the account book with Jing Kai to help the son verify his sins." ”

Fu Liangru was extremely happy at the moment, and he chose to stand on Fusu's side early.

If not, the fate of today's county Cheng Linyu will be his fate. ”

Nan Lisheng and Tan Ji saw that Fu Liangru had already defected.

The desire to struggle with them suddenly disappeared.

also knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and told the matter of re-contacting with Jing Kai.

The attendants presented all the ledgers confiscated yesterday.

Gan Ji read aloud:

"In October of the previous year, Jing Kaizhong gave Nanli 100,000 stone yellow rice, which was shipped to Xianyang for sale."

"In April last year, I was talking about Yuxuan, and I bought several expensive gold objects with tens of thousands of taels of silver,"

"Last June ......"
