Chapter 131 Improper Use of Fire

Since using the trick of issuing notices, He Chou and their speed of checking the acres of land has increased significantly.

At the end of May, He Chou returned with someone.

Because he checked the acres of land this time, the goal was clear, and it was only aimed at the Wen family, so the local governments still cooperated, after all, He Chou still had the warrant of the governor's office.

Although Yang Ming does not have the right to appoint and dismiss the assassins and county guards within the jurisdiction, the county order does, and he can change the county order at will, just report to the ministry.

The dossier brought back by He Chou is a big box, and the four rooms of the Wen family are in the Jiangling area, with a total of 760 acres of land, that is, more than 76,000 acres of land.

According to the news from other prefectures and counties, the total number of acres of land should be 5,300, which is almost the largest landlord in the entire Jingzhou region.

A little literary family, where did he come from so much land? Without a tough enough backer, can they eat so fat?

Yang Ming was almost certain that the Wen family was the one who farmed the Han Palace.

5,300 pour, this is 500,000 acres of land, that is, the prince can eat it.

These acres, except for the Jiangling area, which was personally led by He Chou to take inventory, which is absolutely true, other places only reported an approximate number, that is, there is still water.

A prince has eaten so much, what about the following, how much did they eat in various places?

No wonder Yang Yu is excited, this half is 250,000 mu.

At first, when Yuan Wendu estimated about four thousand tilts, Yang Ming didn't think so, thinking that there could not be so many, but now that he thinks about it, the real number is even more amazing.

This is from top to bottom, treating the people as fish and meat, and it has only been 20 years since the founding of the Great Sui.......

At the beginning, Yang Yue confiscated Liu Chang's family property, and only then did he give Yang Ming 2,300 acres of open land, how can this be compared with other people's 500,000 mu?

It is no wonder that after Dad took the throne in history, he would cut the position of the four chief managers, because this position has too wide jurisdiction and too much power.

With such a thick dossier in front of Yang Ming, even if he was as bold as him, he didn't know how to start for a while.

Once someone is sent to check it, it will be a shocking eucalyptus, and it will definitely reach the heavens, how can Yang Liang be left out at that time?

If Yang Liang is not left out, there will be no way to investigate this matter, because it will damage the image of the royal family and make people all over the world feel that their old Yang family is so greedy.

Did the King of Jin also occupy so much land in Yangzhou? Does the King of Shu also have so many in Yizhou? Everyone will associate this in this direction.

"Call Yang Yu to me and let him see these files,"

Yang Ming asked people to move the files to the inner courtyard and wait for Yang Yu.

Yang Yule came, he thought there would be good news, because his people had inquired, and the people sent by the governor's office to check the acres had returned.

However, as soon as he entered the house, after seeing Yang Ming with an angry face, he felt that something was wrong.

"Brother Ming, what's wrong? Why are you unhappy?"

Yang Ming pointed to the open box and said in a deep voice, "Look for yourself."

Yang Yu was stunned, moved a chair and sat down, picked up the file and slowly flipped through it.

As time passed, Yang Yu's face became more and more ugly.

Five thousand...... Three hundred...... Lean?

These bastards have taken up so much land? And what they handed over to the Han Wangfu every year was less than 1,000 yuan of rent?

The father naively thought that he took seventy percent, and the Wen family only kept thirty percent.

This is my father's money!

You take four thousand tilts, and give us a thousand, and why do you expect us to protect you?

With a "snap", Yang Yu threw the file back into the box fiercely, and paced back and forth in the room angrily.

"Moth! It's a moth, it's a dog that eats people and doesn't spit out bones!"

"Kill! You can't keep it, these people must be killed!"

Pretend, why do you pretend again? Yang Ming sneered, "How to kill? Come, come, teach me how to kill?"

Yang Yu's face flushed with anger

, after sitting down, gasped:

"We are a family, and I won't hide it from you, my father only knew that the Wen family had 14,500 dumps of land from beginning to end, and he didn't know that they had taken advantage of my father's power to occupy so much over the years."

Saying that, Yang Yu was afraid that Yang Ming would not believe it, so he patted his chest and said, "Heaven and earth conscience, if I deceive you, I will not be able to return to Jinyang and drown in the Han River."

Yang Ming saw that the other party didn't seem to be fake, and after a slight sigh, he said, "Then you see, how to solve this matter?"

"My father must be taken out!" Yang Yu hurriedly said.

Yang Ming broke his mouth and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? The key is how to pick it? A small literary family, who gave them the courage to occupy so much land, and who was the backer? Is it you, or am I?"

"This ...... This ......." Yang Yu also panicked.

If you don't have a backer, you can rely on the Wen family to occupy so much land? This is 500,000 acres, if this thing is stabbed up, just kill a Wen family, can you recognize it? The two saints and the elders in the court are not good.

Especially when it involves all the prefectures and counties in Jingzhou, officials from all over the country will inevitably be implicated, and if you look at it this way, this matter really can't be investigated.

So Yang Yu approached Yang Ming and whispered:

"Big things are small, small things are turned into small things, the Wen family can only clean up behind their backs, and they can't make a noise, this matter is too big, and if it is big, the resistance will be great, Brother Ming will slow down first, and let our brothers discuss a countermeasure."

Yang Yu doesn't care about whether he can divide half of the land now, he only cares about how to take out the Han Palace, although Yang Ming and himself are cousins, but after all, they belong to two rooms, and the father of the family is now the prince, and he has suppressed his father.

And this kid has never given himself face, don't look at being able to sit down and talk to him now, and he can turn his head and turn his face with you.

He was also afraid that Yang Ming would take advantage of this incident to pour on his father's face.

And Yang Ming also agreed with the other party's opinion, this matter really can't be a big deal.

Five thousand tilts, if there are one thousand tilts, he can call the shots himself, and if he kills, he will be killed, and the governors of the states and counties will not be implicated.

But the amount of 5,000 is too large, he must report it, and once it is reported, there will be more people involved, and this matter will not be done.

After thinking about it, Yang Ming said, "In this way, I will send someone to get the title deed, and you can solve the rest by yourself."

"Understood!" Yang Yu was immediately overjoyed: "But when I came to Jiangling this time, I only brought two hundred people, and there was no one under my hands."

Yang Ming said: "I'll give you an order from the Governor's Mansion, you can go to Jiangxia Hussar Mansion to borrow troops."

"It's okay, I'll go today," Yang Yu really couldn't wait, he wanted to settle the matter once and for all.

Three days later, in the middle of the night.

The 500 soldiers of the Governor's Mansion were all armoured, and under the leadership of Pang Niu, they broke into all the mansions of the Wen family's four rooms, holding the inspection order of the Governor's Mansion in their hands, and took away all the land deeds of the Wen family, and no one was injured in the whole process.

Wen Hui was completely stunned.......

The King of Xuancheng of the Han Palace's Mansion is here, why hasn't the matter been solved yet? How did you snatch all the title deeds?

No, I'm going to see King Xuancheng.

As a result, as soon as he walked out of the gate, Wen Hui was stunned, his mansion was surrounded by guards from the Governor's Mansion with torches, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

So he shouted, "I am the lieutenant of Gangneung, and I have official duties to serve as the king of Hedong."

The guard at the door sneered, "You step with your left foot, I'll cut your left foot, you step with your right foot, cut off your right foot, you try."

Wen Hui was stunned, hurriedly changed his face, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask this military master, when can I go out?"

"Come on, wait," the guard visibly impatiently waved his hand for the other to roll back.

The situation of the other Wen families was more or less the same, the land deed was confiscated, and no entry or exit was allowed.

Next, the south gate of Jiangling suddenly opened, and more than 2,000 black-clothed masked people rushed in, and these people went to the Wen family's rooms under the guidance of Yang Yu's men.

Yang Ming has confessed that women and children are not allowed to touch it.

But that's not the case.

Yang Yu had the intention to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and did not take Yang Ming's words to heart, in his opinion, killing some women and children was not a big deal.

After these black-clothed men arrived, the guards of the Governor's Mansion would be withdrawn, and the rest would be Yang Yu's business.

That night, Gangneung-gun was in flames.

The county government yamen urgently dispatched water trucks to extinguish the fire, and the entire county was in chaos.

And the soldiers from the Jiangxia Hussar Mansion also went out of the city overnight and returned to the station.

This fire could not be extinguished, and it burned all night, and thick smoke clouds were still floating in the sky above Jiangling County.

Governor's Office,

only heard a crisp sound of "pop", and Yang Ming slapped Yang Yu in the face,

"You take my words on deaf ears?"

Just now, Murong Sanzang, the guard of Jiangling County, has already come, and the Wen family has four rooms, and there is not a single living mouth left, and the dead should be in the crowd of four thousand.

In one night, four thousand people died, half of them women, children, and children.

It's not Our Lady of Yang Ming, this is the Great Sui, it's a feudal dynasty, leaving a life for women and children, and it can't make any waves.

They can neither *** nor think about revenge, they only think about how to live in the future.

In the early years of the emperor, Yang Jian ruled the world with benevolence, revised the law, and committed crimes among the common people, and the sentence was much lighter than that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Northern Qi and Southern Chen, just to win the hearts of the people.

He didn't expect that Yang Yu would do such a desperate job and directly kill people.

After receiving such a hard slap, Yang Yu was also stunned, didn't you ask me to finish?

Isn't my finish beautiful enough?

The wood has been cooked, and Yang Ming has nothing to say:

"Get out, get back to your Jinyang."

Yang Yu gritted his teeth, scolded Yang Ming and his family in his heart, and then left unconvinced.

He didn't dare to fight back, Yang Ming's status was much higher than him.

In the end, this fire will be attributed to the lack of rain in January, the dry weather, and the improper use of fire by the Wen family.

What a coincidence, the entire Jiangling County is not properly fired.

Although not many people will believe such an excuse, the common people do not know it, and the yamen is just preparing for it under this excuse, and will not explain to the people what is going on.

The people may let it be done, but they cannot know it.

So these days, there have been rumors and rumors, and some people say that they saw a fire dragon that night and breathed fire towards the Wen family.

And Yang Ming is also reflecting on himself, and he must be cautious about using the power in his hands in the future.

Because of his words, a single move, can lead to the destruction of many families.

If you don't respect life, life won't respect you.

If Comrade Yang Guang had known this truth, the Great Sui would not have died.
