In the event of a change in the purchase or sale of land, in addition to the documents held by both parties to the transaction, it is also necessary to file a record with the government. If you want to judge whether what Xue Liu said is true or false, you only need to take out the title deed documents and land exchange deeds filed by the government, and compare them with the title deeds in Zhang Cuiying's hand.

Soon, the paperwork and the deed were brought.

Xue Liu is the Yibin County Order, and the official seals in the county government are all taken by him, and it is naturally much easier for him to forge documents than others, and the replaced "land deed" looks quite decent at first glance.

The document clearly wrote when he and the Zhang family changed the land, except that the paper is relatively new and easy to cause doubt, there is nothing wrong with other places, if you change someone else's view, I am afraid that you will think that this is the original title deed.

Gu Yunji read the title deed and asked with a smile: "Xue Liu, why do the two documents of the title deed and the land exchange contract only have Zhang Cuiying's handprint on them, and there is no signature from her?" ”

A drop of sweat rolled down Xue Liu's fat chin with three layers of flesh, and he said with little confidence: "Zhang Cuiying is a peasant girl, she doesn't know a single big character, she can't write her name, and it's normal to use her handprint instead of signature......"

"You talk nonsense!"

Zhang Cuiying retorted urgently: "Although I am from a farming family, our family is literate. My father Zhang Fengyi studied since he was a child, and he also served as a student of the county school, and later returned to the village as a teacher. ”

"Besides, I can even write articles, so how can I not write my own name? Xue Liu said hello in advance, and the lawyers in the county town were reluctant to write a complaint to me, so this complaint was written by the people themselves, please take a look. With that, Zhang Cuiying handed the complaint to Chen Peishi, who handed it to Gu Yunji.

After all, she is not professional, so Zhang Cuiying's complaint is not written in a standardized manner, and there are errors in the format and sentences, but this is the best proof that she is literate in reading. After reading the complaint, Gu Yunji's gaze moved back to Xue Liu, and said unhurriedly:

"Zhang Fengyi is a teacher, and Zhang Cuiying, as his only daughter, has no reason not to teach her to read and write. And it can be seen from this complaint that she can indeed write, but anyone who can write, when a contract is signed, how can she not sign it and press her fingerprint? ”

Gu Yunji's eyes were scorching, Xue Liu was so weak that he subconsciously lowered his eyes, not daring to look at him: "Maybe...... Maybe the Zhang family was in a hurry to change fifty acres of land at that time, so they didn't have the patience to sign, or maybe it was some other reason, and the lower officials didn't know...... But Xia Guan can be sure that this is indeed Zhang Cuiying's handprint! ”

Gu Yunji's eyes narrowed: "Are you sure this is Zhang Cuiying's handprint?" ”

Xue Liu nodded hurriedly, and said categorically: "The next official is sure!" ”

Seeing this, Gu Yunji lightly hooked the corners of her lips, picked up the title deed that Zhang Cuiying had kept, and asked neatly: "Zhang Cuiying had only four people in the family before, her husband was the son-in-law, and the head of the family was naturally her father Zhang Fengyi, and the name of Zhang Fengyi was also on this title deed. ”

"The official asked you: Since there is her father, the head of the family, why is the land exchange contract you signed with her family and the 'land deed' re-replaced with Zhang Cuiying's own handprint?"

Xue Liu was stunned when he heard this, his brain went blank in an instant, and the whole person was stunned.

Gu Yunji exhaled softly, and said sarcastically: "This official just dug a pit for you, and you really jumped off defenselessly." Xue Liu, as you said, if you are really a dignified field, you should sign a contract with Zhang Fengyi, how can it be Zhang Cuiying to press the handprint? ”

"Unless...... The land exchange deed and title deed were all forged by you, after all, the handprint is much easier to fool than the unique handwriting. ”

"Eh-" Seeing that Xue Liu wanted to forcibly quibble again, Gu Yunji made a gesture in time to stop him, "It's all here, don't look for any clumsy excuse of 'Zhang Fengyi died of illness in the morning, so I can only let Zhang Cuiying press my handprint', it's too late." ”

"What's more, the year of birth and death of the population in this county is recorded in the household registration book, when Zhang Fengyi died, the official will know it as soon as he checks it, and it is useless for you to make excuses."

Xue Liu didn't say anything, but Gu Yunji guessed his mind with great accuracy, and all the words were blocked, and his face was almost blue. For a while, his face changed wonderfully, and he really couldn't find a reason to exonerate himself, so he could only defend himself weakly:

"That's it...... Even so, you can't convict me on this basis, at most I didn't do my official job well, and there was a little mistake in the paperwork...... It doesn't mean that I forcibly occupied the land, let alone that I instructed someone to beat her father to death. ”

"So far, you still refuse to confess your sins? Then I see that you don't see the coffin and don't cry! Gu Yunji smiled, his eyes turned cold, and he got up decisively, "In this case, let's go to the field to take a look, I hope your mouth will be as hard as it is now." ”

As he spoke, Gu Yunji turned to Zhang Cuiying again and softened his voice: "Mrs. Zhang, I bother you to lead the way, take us to the fifty acres of land that Xue Liu changed to you, and take a look at it, so that he has nothing to say." ”

Zhang Cuiying hurriedly wiped the undried tears on her face: "This is what a folk girl should do, and I don't dare to be an adult." ”

The officials of the Yibin County Ya have been by Xue Liu's side all the year round, and in a sense, they are no different from his personal thugs. Just in case, Gu Yunji asked Chen Peishi to return to the palace as soon as possible, and transferred some officials from the palace, and then the group left the county seat and went to Rongyin Mountain, where the field was located. ，

Rongyin Mountain is located in the north of Rongtai Town, about half an hour's walk from Yibin County, the road is not too far, at least Gu Yunji and others have no burden to walk.

Only Xue Liu, who is obese and lacks exercise all year round, is too lazy to move his butt when he stays in the county government on weekdays, almost takes two steps and gasps three times, panting as if he is about to die, but he didn't expect that he has not been convicted now, he will be tired and "die" halfway first.

Gu Yunji was disgusted in his heart, and he couldn't do anything to Xue Liu, so he resisted the urge to kick him several times, and the group grinded on the road for a long time before they reached their destination in order to give him over.

Halfway up Rongyin Mountain, Gu Yunji looked around blankly: "What about fifty acres of land?" ”

Zhang Cuiying showed a bitter smile: "My lord, fifty acres of land are in front of you." ”

As far as the eye can see, there is a wilderness, shrubs, weeds, rocks...... Stacked in one place, with no roads or clear ridges, there were even several trees two or three people high, which had grown for years at a glance—if not for the flat terrain, it was actually no different from the mountains and wasteland.

Gu Yunji was incredulous for a while: This can also be called a field?
