"It's all you, the tax officer, who has a clear file and deceived me up and down, and now you can't hide it, and you still want to drag me into the water? I receive major grain merchants in the city all day long, where can I take care of the three or five acres outside the city, you just take this opportunity to use your power for personal gain, right? Say, "What is your heart?" Slandered me in front of the Chincha? ”

Sharply accusing the tax officer, he looked at Qin Jing with his fists clenched, "Please check it out!" ”

After the degree of pleading, he said righteously.

Before Qin Jing could speak, Su Zijin shook his head first, "I don't believe it." ”

"Huh?"

The eyes of the cow glared at him, and he still carried the aftermath of reprimanding and accusing the tax officer just now.

Su Zijin was not afraid of this painless deterrence, and said directly, "Something happened under your rule, and you want to shirk the past without knowing anything, I don't believe it, unless you come up with evidence." ”

Seeing Su Zijin denying himself lightly, his face turned red again, "My background and net worth, do you still use that effort to make these three or five acres of land?" ”

Seeing that Su Zijin was unmoved, he pulled his throat to the degree, "Check, check one acre after another, I don't believe that I can't repay my innocence!" ”

Su Zijin chuckled, "Okay, Hou Yi, you take someone to help Master Cheng do things." ”

Knowing that Hou Yi was surveilling, he still led Hou Yi out with him, so he began to investigate with great fanfare.

For a while, all the merchants noticed the unusual movement of Jiami Mansion.

Hou Yi took the manpower and began to check with the documents of the government office without sleep, re-checking the unclear and unchecked places found by Qin Jing, and sat down at every head of household.

For three whole days, the north wind seemed to have never blown in Jiami Mansion to pass through, and the city suddenly changed from lively to bleak.

On the third day, with red circles under his eyes and a thick account book, he came to the post station Qin Jing and Su Zijin.

"It's all the negligence of the lower officials, please punish the four princes."

For the first time, I bowed down heavily.

Su Zijin's eyes looked at Hou Yi, "Miss, nearly thousands of acres of unregistered hidden fields have been found, and the documents of these acres are all registered in the name of the nearest village head, in fact, they are under the names of various subordinate officials in the city, including officials, inspectors, post officers, tax departments and others, and," Hou Yi glanced at the degree, "It is under the names of Lord Cheng's concubines." ”

Su Zijin looked at Hou Yi with his eyes, "Guys? ”

Hou Yi nodded, "Master Cheng has a total of three concubines, all of whom are offered by the subordinate officials of Jiami Mansion. ”

Su Zijin sighed twice and didn't ask any more, but Qin Jing suddenly spoke, "I remember that the daughter of the old man Jiang Ge you asked to marry, Miss Jiang fell out with her family because of this, and you were released from Beijing." ”

For ordinary people, going out of Beijing is a punishment, but for the families of such a talented and meritorious honorable family, going out of Beijing is the way out. At the beginning, he was the same as the noble family of the same degree, and he didn't know how much envy he had to have the opportunity to go out, but he didn't expect that many years later, he became the prefect of a place, and he was fooled by everyone and was involved in the incident of hiding the good land.

"Miss, Mrs. Jiang is waiting for you in the backyard to see you."

Hou Yi whispered to Su Zijin, Su Zijin glanced at Hou Yi differently, although he knew that Hou Yi knew the degree, but he didn't expect that he and Mrs. Jiang also knew each other. Hou Yi is a person who looks like a master, and he is as cold as Su Zijin, and he will not be able to deal with ordinary people when they intercede.

Su Zijin nodded to the Qin scenic spot on the side, and followed Hou Yi to the backyard of the post station.

A tall and thin woman, standing under the locust tree in the backyard of the inn, was waiting. Although he was wearing a plain brocade robe, he seemed to be lonely in his back, which was more awesome than the pods scattered on the tree.

"Thank you, Miss Su, for taking the time to see you."

Mrs. Jiang suddenly turned around and said with a smile.

Mrs. Jiang's first impression to others is not what she looks like, but her light temperament, as if she has no quarrel with the world.

"Mrs. Jiang."

Su Zijin returned the salute.

"I came to Miss Su today because I had a few words, and I wanted Miss Su to tell the four princes."

Mrs. Jiang's voice was cold, "Although I am my father's old daughter, I know that the court respects my father very much. In this matter, please don't be embarrassed by the four princes, just deal with it, and don't look at your father's face. I, an unfilial daughter, don't want to smear my father's face anymore. ”

Mrs. Jiang's words, Su Zijin was not surprised, but any woman with temperament will not scruple about the so-called "compromise".

Su Zijin nodded, and before he could speak, he was broken by the sudden noise at the door of the backyard, "Jiang's family, you mourning star, you don't stay honestly in the mansion, and you will be embarrassed!" ”

Su Zijin looked over and wanted to know who this voice seemed to be cursing the enemy, and saw a small old woman appear, with a head full of pearls and emeralds, brown and red brocade robes, as soon as she entered the courtyard and searched for Mrs. Jiang's figure, she wanted to pounce, and held her slap high, as if she wanted to make a move.

Mrs. Jiang's maid looked as weak as her master, and she couldn't stop the old woman who was old but strong, and she was only pushed by the old woman to retreat, seeing that she was about to approach Mrs. Jiang.

"Ying'er, get out of the way, don't let her hurt you."

Mrs. Jiang spoke, but she did not shake the two people who were tearing on the field, only to see the old woman shake off Ying'er and slap Mrs. Jiang in the face.

Everyone on the field was stunned.

Mrs. Jiang tilted her head and took a slap, covering her face at the moment, silent, the old woman was so energetic that she was gasping for breath, and the maid looked at her wife distressedly, but there was no way.

Su Zijin was already stunned, she thought that Mrs. Jiang asked the maid to get out of the way, there was a way to solve it, but she didn't expect that she would bear this blow for life.

Seeing that the old woman still wanted to make a move, Su Zijin stepped forward and kicked the person away.

"You little is the helper this is looking for, right? Do you dare to touch me? Do you know who I am? I'm going to let you stay in the Mansion forever today! ”

The noisy voice attracted the people in front of him, Qin Jing frowned and looked at the old woman who was sprinkled, and then hurriedly walked up to his mother and helped her up.

"Jiang, why are you still stunned? Don't help your mother up yet! Miss Su, my mother is so old and still your elder, how can you do it? ”

Jiang Shi listened, stood still for a moment, leaned over in the end, and went to help the old man with the degree, but he might as well be pushed by the old man, did not stand firmly, took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

"You hen who doesn't lay eggs, I don't need your help, I have my son to help."

He glanced at the Jiang family, then at the four princes and Su Zijin, and his face was a little ugly.

His face was not ugly because of the dispute, it seemed to be because of the presence of outsiders.
