Hearing that Wan Yuzhi had arrived in Runing, the prefect and a cadre of officials were all uneasy, and they all went out to the suburbs to greet him, and greeted him with warmth, and the courtesy was increased. Seeing this, Yu Zhi hurriedly said that he only came to negotiate with Yangrui, and had no other intentions, so he relieved everyone's suspicions and was able to go straight to Zhu's mansion.

"Squire Zhu, what kind of abacus do you have in your stomach?"

Wan Yuzhi and Zhu Yangrui walked into the study, and as soon as they closed the door, they approached him step by step, and asked angrily.

Zhu Yangrui bent over: "Zhu never dared to deceive the superiors, and the only ones who could hand over were those few acres of land." ”

"Don't take this official for a fool," Wan Yuzhi pointed at him, "This official has conclusive evidence at hand. ”

"Then take it out!" Zhu Yangrui was also polite, and stretched out his hand, "There is also the fish scale atlas in the yamen, you can also go through it!" I, Zhu Yangrui, behave uprightly and can't stand such insults! ”

"I'm afraid it's not credible even if it's a fish scale atlas." Wan Yuzhi spoke with contempt.

"In that case, adults can apply for 'Kanzhang'." Zhu Yangrui glanced at him coldly.

"What did you say?" When Wan Yuzhi heard this unfamiliar word, he immediately became energetic, "Kanzhang? ”

"Zhu is not familiar with official affairs, so he has nothing to say about it." Zhu Yangrui suddenly turned his back.

Seeing that he didn't want to explain, Yu Zhi suspected that there must be something hidden in it, so he only replied: "I know." "Get out the door.

At this time, the prefect and other officials were waiting at the city gate, and when they saw Yuzhi returning from riding a horse, they hurriedly stepped forward to lead him, and Lao asked, "How are the negotiations?" ”

Wan Yuzhi refused his courtesy, dismounted and said, "It's not good." Zhu Yangrui is very thick-skinned...... But I don't know what to do, and I'd like to ask you. ”

"You say."

"What kind of system is this? It sounds like it's related to Qingzhang, but I don't know how to do it? ”

The prefect thought for a while and replied: "Specifically, when the people have a dispute over acres of land, they can request an inspection from the government, and an official in charge will go to the place in person to investigate with the township protection; Then visit the neighbors, according to their boundaries, the path is straight, the location of the lot, etc., and then you can order the painter to draw a map, compare it with the old map, and then see it at a glance. ”

After that, he reminded again: "However, this move is laborious and disturbs the peasants, and the boss has repeatedly quit and cannot be opened lightly, so no one has handled it for a long time." ”

Knowing that these words were in Wan Yu's heart, he couldn't help but smile and said, "If you do this, it is enough to make the lie have nothing to hide." Adults should focus on this matter, and I will go to Zhu's house in person to investigate in person! ”

The prefect's face turned yellow in an instant, and he wanted to dissuade him but was afraid of being seen as weak-hearted, so he had to say in a slur manner: "The lower and lower officials said that the people are working and disturbing the farmers, not to mention that the fish scale atlas is in the ......."

"Alas," Wan Yuzhi patted him on the shoulder, "the fish scale atlas has either not been repaired for many years, or it is submitted by the township protection, and it is easy to tamper with, and it is far better to see than to see." He Zhu Yangrui is desperately demanding, what are we still struggling with? Don't forget, the emperor specially issued an edict for me to investigate and annex. ”

The prefect was speechless, quickly wiped the cold sweat on his face, and said yes. Wan Yuzhi proposed to live in Runing for a few days, and the prefect arranged a vacant room for him in the yamen to live temporarily.

The prefect finally got rid of this difficult superior, but the uneasy mood was still spreading in his heart, making him think crankily, and even worried that his head would fall to the ground - thinking of this, he actually became more and more resentful of Zhu Yangrui, and secretly scolded him for saying those two words too much. Therefore, it was not very pleasant, and it was secretly rumored that he had come to see him, and wanted to ask what was going on.

"You told him all about the rules of the Kanjo?" Zhu Yangrui listened to the prefect's words, and was so frightened that he took two steps back, and his legs became weak.

The prefect looked at him calmly: "How could I be such a confused person?" Seeing that he did not understand these conventions, he concealed them a little when he explained them, and did not explain them to him. It's Brother Zhu, why bother talking about Kanzhang, it makes my generation frightened. If it weren't for the kindness of this official, he would have questioned you for his guilt. ”

Zhu Yangrui breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile bloomed on his face: "Don't be angry, the grass people didn't do it on purpose, but because of the anger at the time, they accidentally said more." But in hindsight, this doesn't seem like a bad thing. ”

"Is that a good thing?" The prefect asked.

"Of course," Zhu Yangrui's eyes showed a little sly light, "What you want most now is to let a few big people in the court help?" Since he wants to conduct a survey, why not make a plan, muddy the waters, and strive to make a big noise? ”

The prefect suddenly raised his head and looked at him fixedly: "You can tell me." Zhu Yangrui immediately dusted off his sleeves twice, sat beside him, and whispered under the shadow of the lamp.

"Report to the chief master, this is the case I got from the county government, and the prefect doesn't know about it yet." As soon as it was early in the morning, the little official took a large piece of paper in his hand, went straight to the feather house, and whispered closely. Yu Zhi saw that he was mysterious, so he hurriedly asked to come and see, and saw that the title was written 'suing the landlord Zhu Yangrui to occupy the ancestral field'.

"Are you sure you submitted it today?" Yu Zhiqiang suppressed the surprise in his heart and made a final confirmation to him.

"The little one saw the county master book handed it over. It is said that a peasant came all the way from Shangshui and asked for a survey. ”

"God help me!" Wan Yuzhi suddenly stood up and walked around the room excitedly, "I'm still worried that I don't have a handle to grasp, so I'll send it to the door!" Both are there, I think the prefect can still use that law to prevaricate! Let's go, take me to the prefect! ”

After that, while putting on his official uniform, he asked the little official to lead the way, and he arrived at the second hall of the yamen in an instant.

"Lord Prefect, you happen to be here, let me tell you something!" Yu Zhi rolled up his sleeves, strode up to the hall, and put the case on the table, "According to the report of Ruyang Zhixian County, a villager from Shangshui came to visit and accused Zhu Yangrui of encroaching on the field of his family's ancestral grave. Now you can start surveying, right? ”

The prefect frowned tightly and kept smacking his lips, as if he had thought about it, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Yu Zhi didn't feel strange, and only let out a disdainful sneer: "What, what is it difficult for adults to hide?" Still is...... Have an opinion about this officer? ”

"No, no," the prefect replied, "it's just that...... It's a bit tricky. ”

"Huh?" Hayuki turned his head.

"You don't know, this Shangshui County is under the jurisdiction of Chenzhou, and I am the prefect of Runing, so I can't interfere, so I naturally can't talk about it. Unless a 'survey' is conducted. ”

"What is a survey?"

That is, if there is a dispute over land that crosses two places, it is necessary to jointly survey with the governor of the neighboring land. Today's affairs, you need to send someone to discuss with the governor of Chenzhou first. I don't know ...... adults Would you like to conduct a survey? ”

Wan Yuzhi pondered for a moment, and slowly replied, "How can I know so much trouble. Forget it, it's troublesome, send someone to discuss it with Chenzhou. ”
