Chapter 40: Apology
Chen Qingyi said: Bold, you actually slandered Baron Ben. Benjue is an orthodox man in the Dao, how can he curse the art?
Are you still an orthodox scholar? Everyone present sneered
Zhang Sanda took a step forward and said loudly: Baron Chen Qingyi is the first place in the Wentongsheng examination of Youzhou Weifu Shou County of the Great Zhou Empire, and the three subjects are all upper-grade, and he was rated as the first Wentongsheng in the world, the only one in the Great Zhou Empire since the founding of the country for thousands of years, and he has written poems that have been passed on to the world. The secretary of the Great Zhou Empire, who was supervising Zheng Zhao Wouji, personally rushed to Youzhou to be canonized. During this period, Baron Chen wrote a poem about the realm of Zhenguo, and Lord Li Sitong and I passed on the holy decree to welcome Baron Chen into the capital to face the saint. This is the waist card of the two of them, the clerk. can be viewed.
After Zhang Sanda finished speaking, he and Li Sida took out their waist cards and documents. Everyone saw that it was true.
However, everyone's eyes were on Chen Qingyi, and they didn't expect that Chen Qingyi, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, would be able to pass the Wen Tongsheng exam, obtain the first place in the Tianxia Tongsheng case, and obtain two Haoran righteous empowerments, and the martial arts realm also reached the second congenital realm consummation, and defeated Ding Man, who was consummated in the third grandmaster realm, in the duel. At a young age, he is already both civil and military, and it is no wonder that the Emperor of the Apocalypse personally summoned him.
The middle-aged scribe showed a desperate expression, this is called Chen Qingyi's deep thoughts. Whether it was Hu San or Ding Man just now, they repeatedly confirmed whether they wanted to do it?
Everyone present heard it, and everyone knew that Chen Qingyi, who was summoned by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, was still a baron who was canonized by his own strength, and his future was bright, and he would not make perjury for the Ding family in Bingzhou.
Moreover, there are two Qincha from the Hanlin realm, and there are many people who stay there. There are also post guards at the post station.
Just when the middle-aged scribe was at a loss, a person who looked like a butler stepped out of the crowd. Although this person is dressed as a housekeeper, he has an extraordinary bearing. But it was Ding Xiu, the chief housekeeper of the Ding family. This time, I followed Ding Man to the capital, but I had important things to do. Originally, Ding Xiu didn't want to have much trouble, but he didn't expect the guards to have a conflict with the guards of Lord Qian Bin, who went to Beijing to take up his post, because of a quarrel.
Hu San is a reckless person, and he has nothing to do with Chen Qingyi. But because of his arrogance, he greatly offended Chen Qingyi. At every turn, he will cut off people's limbs, and as a result, he will kick the iron plate.
watched Chen Qingyi take steps forward, with clever means, leaving no room for error. If you don't get it right, it's a crime of extermination, and thinking of this Ding Xiu is also a headache.
Chen Qingyi glanced at Ding Xiu and did not answer. But to Zhang Sanda and Li Sidao: Two Qincha, the two of you are officials of the Ministry of Rites, and you are also a Legalist Hanlin. Beating, mutilating, murdering, and murdering the baron of the current dynasty who was summoned to Beijing, I wonder if it was a crime of treason? According to the laws of the Great Zhou Empire, is it necessary to raid the family and exterminate the clan?
Listening to Chen Qingyi's plain, but murderous words. Everyone present was in a cold sweat, and Ding Man was even more paralyzed on the ground.
Ding Xiu was even more shocked, this is to make the Ding family extinct! If you didn't know it was an accident, it would have been terrible. This young Baron Chen Qingyi's mind was also vicious.
Chen Qingyi saw that Ding Xiu did not answer, turned around and said loudly to the people present: Everyone, the time has come to make contributions to the Great Zhou Empire, the rebellious ministers and thieves and the Ding family have rebelled against the country, tried to kill the court baron, ignored the order of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to summon him, and his crime should be punished. You have killed the Ding family, you have no fault, come to meet the Emperor of the Apocalypse in the future, this baron will definitely play your merits and reward them heavily.
Chen Qingyi's words were extremely inflammatory, and even the post station had the heart to step forward. Ding Xiu knew at a glance that everyone's minds were about to move.
Immediately, he knelt down with Ding Man's big bow, lowered his breath, and pleaded: Baron Chen, we don't know Mount Tai if we have eyes, please raise your noble hand. spared the lives of hundreds of people of the Ding family in Bingzhou. The Ding family was deeply grateful.
After speaking, Ding Xiu took Ding Man, the middle-aged scribe and all the guards to pay homage to Chen Qingyi.
Chen Qingyi laughed and said: It seems that the Ding family can survive to this day, it is really a fluke! The family occupies ninety percent of the world's land and employs sixty percent of the world's tenant farmers, but they only pay sixty percent of the tax. Forty percent of the world's yeoman farmers cultivate only one percent of the land, but they have to pay forty percent of the tax. The land annexation of the Great Zhou Dynasty was serious. Fortunately, God bless me Da Zhou, the wind and rain are smooth. If there is a natural or man-made disaster, there will inevitably be chaos. And the big family will bear the brunt, and the Ding family in Bingzhou doesn't know how to converge yet. Could it be that the sword of the imperial court is unfavorable?
After Chen Qingyi finished speaking, everyone was dumbfounded. Especially the Ding family, everyone is like ashes.
Chen Qingyi provided everyone with an excuse to kill the Ding family, and the Ding family, as one of the top ten families in Bingzhou, occupied a lot of land. Give the court an excuse, whether it is the court or the major families, they will not hesitate to rush up and take a bite.
Zhang Sanda and Li Sitong also didn't expect this layer. The Ding family knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and there was no longer an arrogant and domineering atmosphere.
Chen Qingyi saw that the Ding family was soft, and he also knew that the family was huge, and now was by no means a good time to clean up the Ding family. Immediately compassion for humanity: God has the virtue of a good life. I will not embarrass you.
Hearing Chen Qingyi's words, Ding Xiu and the others listened to the sound of heaven. Hurry up and pay a big salute and thank you repeatedly.
Chen Qingyi said again: But is it?
Ding Xiu's hearts rose to their throats again, up and down, and looked up at Chen Qingyi, with a look of longing.
Chen Qingyi continued: The majesty of the Great Zhou Empire cannot be damaged, and the damage received by Baron Ben cannot be compensated, but Baron Ben wasted an opportunity to become an official and a knight. Also, everyone present could not fail to compensate.
When Ding Xiu heard this, this was a naked benefit.
Hurriedly said: Although Baron Chen's request is raised, my Ding family has nothing to say.
Chen Qingyi has completely grasped the initiative on the field. looked at Zhang Sanda and Li Sitong, and slowly said to Ding Xiu: My conditions are very simple, first, all the land of the Ding family in Hezhou will be donated to tenant farmers, land deeds will be issued, and they will be filed with the imperial court, and the tenant farmers will be transformed into yeoman farmers, and the yeoman farmers will pay taxes to the imperial court. Second, all the finances of the Ding family present were distributed by everyone.
As soon as Chen Qingyi finished speaking, everyone in the Ding family turned pale for a while, while the rest of the people were happy.
Seeing the Ding family's embarrassed face, Chen Qingyi said: How is it? No way?
Ding Xiu hurriedly said: It's just Baron Chen, my Ding family has a lot of use for these finances, can you let us calculate the value and postpone the delivery to you for a month. Leave your names, and we will deliver them to your homes when we arrive. I wonder if I can grace the time?
When everyone heard Ding Xiu's words, they didn't want to completely offend the Ding family, and they showed a sense of intent. However, he still looked at Chen Qingyi and regarded Chen Qingyi as the backbone.
