254: Investigation
Mo Ziyun took out casually, "The medicinal herbs don't need to be turned over like a crop field, you can plant them first, and then cut them back to feed the pigs when the Yunying grass grows, and then if you don't turn the ground, the roots will rot in the ground and fertilize the ground."
"How do you know that you don't need to turn the ground to grow medicinal herbs? Is it good to plant without ploughing the ground?" Mo Tingyu felt that whether it was planting medicine or crops, the land should be cleaned up neatly, the soil should be loosened, and the grass should be pulled clean, so that the crops planted can have a harvest.
"I estimate that this land still needs to be turned, otherwise the medicinal herbs will not grow well in the future, and we don't care about waiting a few more days, just wait for all the time to grow up, turn over the ground, and clear the weeds in the soil again."
Murong Qingyuan listened to Mo Tingyu this time, "Then do what Grandpa said!"
The matter of the theft of the land, since the people have lost the money, this matter can no longer be taken care of, but they don't care about it, and some people don't plan to let them go.
The Chen family went to the county government the next day to file a complaint, accusing the Mo family of Lanwan Village for bullying people, they just saw that the field was overgrown with weeds, thinking that the weeds were useless, so they went to the field to cut a back basket, and as a result, they asked them to pay two taels of silver.
Chen cried in the yamen and said that these two taels of silver could live for half a year.
Wei Changfeng looked at the two kneeling people in the audience, "You said that their field is full of weeds?"
It is estimated that the Mo family has used up the Chen family's brains, so the Chen family did not consider what was the use of Wei Changfeng asking this, and immediately nodded and replied after hearing this: "Yes, Yunying grass all over the ground."
After answering, he continued: "It's all Yunying grass, and I thought that it would be a waste of land to grow so many weeds in the ground, so I thought that I could help them hoe some weeds."
Regarding Chen's rush to speak, Wei Changfeng didn't mind her ignoring the court at all, and she said a long list, Chen saw that the official master on the stage was so easy to talk, and the more he talked, the more relaxed he became, and continued: "I'll help them cut some grass, and then they will pull less grass."
Wei Changfeng sneered, "You are kind, then you can tell me why there is only this kind of grass growing in his field?" As far as I know, isn't it strange that if there is no grass in this field, there will not be only one type of grass growing in the grass?"
Chen Shi was slightly embarrassed before continuing: "At that time, I also wondered why dozens of acres of land were all Yunying grass, and yesterday I learned that the Yunying grass in the field was specially planted by them. Isn't that harmful? If I had known that they planted it, I wouldn't have cut the grass in their fields."
Wei Changfeng was still good-tempered, "It's strange to plant grass in the ground, you live in a village, you haven't heard them talk about such a strange thing before?"
Chen's answer was very direct, "I don't know, I only found out yesterday."
After Chen finished replying, Wei Changfeng looked at Fan Dali, who was also kneeling on the ground, "What about you? Did you know it before?"
The two of them came to sue after discussing it, so naturally they didn't know before they made up their minds.
After Fan Dali also denied that he didn't know that the Mo family had planted Yunying grass before, Wei Changfeng continued to ask, "Then do you know what they planted this grass for?"
Chen replied, "I just heard them say that Yunying grass is a medicine yesterday, and I don't know if it's true, but even if it's medicine, it's not a valuable thing, and this thing grows everywhere, so how can you ask us for two taels of silver?"
"I went to the pharmacy and asked, saying that the seeds of Yunying grass are medicine, and now they are not medicine, and if they want to ask me to compensate, they can't let me pay so much, I will lose some seed money at most, they are blackmailing me for money."
"Your Excellency, you have to make decisions for us! It's not easy for us to work hard to earn some money, and we can't let them give me all the money."
Chen's cry, Fan Dali also echoed and asked Wei Changfeng to help them make the decision.
Wei Changfeng said, "Lord Ben will not spare those who break the law and discipline."
When the two of them heard this, they thought that Wei Changfeng was going to punish the Mo family, and the two thanked them again and again, "My lord, you are really our Qingtian Great Master."
After thanking us, the Chen family asked again, "My lord, is the Mo family going to punish them for returning the silver to us, but also to make them compensate us for our losses?"
There was a sneer at the corner of Wei Changfeng's mouth, "You have to compensate for the loss, otherwise you Qingtian Lord won't be screaming in vain!"
"Alright, you guys go back first! When the official finds out, he will make the decision for you and give you justice."
As soon as the two of them heard this, they were even happier when they heard this, and after another thank-you, they were called out of the yamen.
After Wei Changfeng let the two out of the yamen, he instructed the officials Yang Maozi and Fan Liu to go to Lanwan Village to investigate the case.
Before the two left, they also instructed carefully: "Today, these two people obviously want to beat a rake, you go and check on them, I remember that the Mo family bought sixty or seventy acres of land at once, and bought so much land at once, the people in the village must be aware, and if you want to clean up so much land, you must also ask someone to help, it is estimated that the people in the village must know what is planted in the field, and it is obviously a lie to say that they did not know about it!"
"After stealing something, not only do they not repent, but they also want to beat the stolen person with a rake, if this official does not punish this unhealthy trend well, he is really not worthy of the blue sky lord they shout."
If Fan Dali and the Chen family knew that they had been punished more severely because they had called Lord Qingtian, they would definitely not have screamed, not only would they not have screamed, but they would not have come to sue for this if they were killed.
On the way back, the two were in a very happy mood, and even Fan Dali felt that his wife was rare and smart this time.
"If it weren't for me, our two taels of silver would have been in vain, now we can not only take back the silver, but also earn her, their workshop has earned so much money, why do you have to pay us twenty or thirty taels."
Chan was dreaming happily.
Fan Dali was not far behind, "Recently, there have been fewer and fewer people looking for me to kill pigs, if they can really make them pay us a sum of money, we will also have an extra income."
"I will definitely be able to compensate, why did you scare us before you forgot your surname Han? He said that not only would he return the money he gave us, but he would also ask us to pay him double the amount of money."
"Yes, yes, yes, or you have a good memory, I forgot about it." Fan Dali will not care about her disgrace.
As soon as Fan Dali heard that it was a double loss of silver, he instantly felt that it was so little, "A few taels of silver, this is not much?" It doesn't feel like you've lost much at all.
Chen didn't care so much, "When the time comes, we just need to ask for more, anyway, there are adults who are judging the case, what if we are sentenced to more?"
The two daydreamed all the way back, but they didn't know that not long after they arrived home, the officials of the yamen also arrived in the village.
After Yang Maozi and Fan Liu left the yamen, they went home first and changed their regular clothes before walking to Lanwan Village.
After the two arrived at Lanwan Village, they walked directly to the village chief's house. According to Fan Dali and Chen's description, they were taken to the Mo family by the village chief Li You to lose money, so the first thing to look for was naturally the village chief.
When the two arrived in the village, Li Youdi was not at home, but this did not affect the investigation of the case. Directly ask the family to inform him to come back.
When Li Youdi heard that someone from the family was coming, he had to put down what he was doing and followed his nephew to go home, and asked on the way, "You didn't ask which one they were?"
When the nephew called him back, he naturally asked who was coming from the family, but the nephew didn't say who it was, so he couldn't help but ask on the way.
The nephew replied, "They said you would know when you went back."
"People don't know, and you certainly don't know what's going on."
The nephew grinned and said, "I asked, but they didn't say anything, they said you would only say when you went back."
After listening to his nephew's words, Li Youdi couldn't help but speed up his pace, and after hurriedly returning home, he looked at the two people sitting in the house, and immediately laughed, "I said that Peng Wazi didn't know anything, it turned out that two adults came to the house."
The two stood up after Li Youdi entered the house, and after Li Youdi's words, Fan Liu hugged his fists and said, "Come and disturb Village Chief Li."
"What's the bother, don't bother, you can't invite you if you usually want to invite you, please take a seat, please take a seat." Li Youdi said with a smile.
After the two of them sat down, he sat down as well, "Two adults
Is there something looking for me?"
"That's right." One of them replied, and then went on to say, "Two people came from the yamen this morning, saying that they are from your village, one is named Fan Dali and the other is Chen Lanying."
"But these two?" Yang Maozi asked again after saying the names of the two.
Li Youdi nodded confusedly, "Yes, what's the matter with them?" What did they do in the Yamen? Did you take the initiative to go to the yamen to admit your mistake? Can they be so self-conscious?
From yesterday when the Chen family happily took the money out to compensate, and now when they heard that they went to the yamen, Li Youdi became more and more ignorant of their family's thoughts.
"These two people went to the yamen this morning to sue Mo Tingyu and Song Nanzhi in your village, saying that the two of them blackmailed them with money!"
After Li Youdi listened to the words of the servant, his mouth grew in shock, "What?"
Yang Maozi had to repeat it again.
After Li Youdi heard it again, he was so angry that he slapped it on the table, "They are so shameless."
After a reshoot of the palm, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly apologized to the two officials, "I'm sorry, I'm not angry at you."
"It's fine." Two people.
"My lord, Uncle Mo and Aunt Song have been wronged! You must not listen to them."
"Our adults also thought this was a bit strange, so they sent us to find out more."
"I'll tell you, I know all about this, it's the two families who stole Yunying grass that I went to help Uncle Mo's family find."
"Okay, you speak slowly."
Then Li Youdi started with Mo Tingyu and Song Nanzhi going to Beijing, and talked about how the two came home and told him that the Yunying grass in the field had been cut, and then how he went to find the person who stole the Yunying grass. After speaking, he said again and again to the two officials: "Uncle Mo and Aunt Song really didn't cheat their silver, if they really wanted to cheat their silver, it would not be possible to only need these four taels, and these four taels of silver are still here with me.
"How can the money be in your hands?"
