"Bastard thing, babbling or something!"

The garrison Xu Fengran was afraid that Yao Guangming next to him would think too much, and he was also targeted by the "brocade guard" of the imperial court, so he rushed up directly and slapped the fat man to the ground.

"Oops!"

The man was in pain and lay on his back on the ground, and said loudly: "Xu Fengran, you are crazy!" Where did my Han family offend you, and today they are so aggressive! ”

Xu Fengran was worried that the man would say something shocking, so he said angrily: "Your Han family incident happened, let's think about how to confess your guilt!" ”

After speaking, Xu Fengran hurriedly returned to Yao Guangming's side, nodded and smiled: "Hehe, don't be surprised, my lord, the Han family is used to being arrogant on weekdays, so everyone has a mouthful." ”

"Oh? Is it? ”

Yao Guangming raised his head to signal the fat man and asked, "Who is that from the Han family?" ”

Xu Fengran hurriedly replied: "It is the eldest son of Han Yu, the head of the Han family, named Han Ranshuang. ”

"Han Ranshuang?"

Yao Guangming said: "Control this person first, and send someone in to search!" ”

"Yes!"

At this time, the garrison Xu Fengran was anxious to show that he had nothing to do with the Han family, so he was ready to scare his hands to death, and was ready to search out all the taboo things of the Han family, so he said loudly to one or two hundred soldiers behind him: "Rush in, give me an inch by inch search, and I can't let go of a needle or a grain of rice!" ”

"Yes!"

The brigade of soldiers was about to rush into the gate, and the fat man became angry violently, trying to break free from the two soldiers who suppressed him, but found that he could not break free at all, so he roared angrily: "You are all waiting for death, all let Lao Tzu come out!" Bullied to the Han family

Head up, give me a shiny guy! ”

As soon as the words came, the gate of the Han family was directly opened from the inside, and dozens of families rushed out violently, directly blocking the gate of the Han family's house, and pushing and stalemate with the soldiers who rushed up.

Everyone in the Han family was holding steel knives, and a few people in front of them also had shields, and they also looked quite strong, which surprised Yao Guangming very much, he really picked a big fish!

"What? Do! ”

At this time, Xu Fengran's face was pale, and he couldn't wait to slash Han Ranshuang with a knife, and now the matter finally made a big fuss.

"Haha!"

Yao Guangming suddenly laughed, he was still worried that he would not be able to find strong evidence when he rushed in, but he didn't want the Han family to jump out by himself, and now he could at least take a charge against the Han family against the imperial court.

So after laughing, Yao Guangming stepped forward and showed his waist card, and then said: "The Ministry of Military Intelligence is on a bad errand, who the fuck dares to stop it, I want to die!" ”

Seeing this, most of the momentum dissipated in an instant, and they all hesitated, and many people looked at Han Ranshuang.

Suddenly, a person from inside the door walked out and said loudly: "Even if it is the Jinyi guard of the Military Intelligence Department, there must be evidence and explanations, otherwise it will be an abuse of power and oppression of the people. ”

I saw a man in his fifties passing through the crowd, and those Han family members gave way one after another, and even those soldiers took a few steps back.

Xu Fengran's face was a lot tangled, and he whispered to Yao Guangming: "My lord, this is Han Yu, the head of the Han family. ”

"It turned out to be the head of the Han family."

"I don't know about this lord

How to call it? ”

"Yao Guangming."

"It turned out to be Lord Yao, who has been looking up for a long time. It's just that why can't you get along with my Han family all of a sudden today, is there anything to say? ”

Although Yao Guangming and Han Yu exchanged a few polite words, he still kept a straight face and said, "Don't you know that the head of the Han family himself? Your Han family has happened! ”

"Oh? My Han family has always been law-abiding, where is there anything to do, adults don't scare the old man. ”

Yao Guangming frowned slightly, this Han Yu is not in the oil and salt, it seems that he is ready to do it.

At this moment, Zhang Haitai rushed here with the housekeeper of the Han family, and both of them were taken aback when they saw that the two sides were already tense.

When Yao Guangming saw Zhang Haitai coming, a stone fell in his heart, so he called him aside and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the evidence has been obtained!"

"Good!"

Then, under Yao Guangming's signal, Zhang Haitai pointed to the housekeeper beside him and said loudly: "The head of the Han family, right?" Do you recognize this person? ”

Han Yu's face instantly became very ugly, and Han Ranshuang on the side gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, eager to rush up and bite the housekeeper a few bites.

"Master, young master, don't blame me, blame only the court for not tolerating the Han family, now that the East Window incident has happened, the old man and young master still admit their guilt!"

"Phew!"

Han Yu said angrily: "You conscienceless house slave, you dare to teach me a lesson!" ”

Seeing that several people were arguing, Yao Guangming didn't have the heart to wait any longer, so he directly ordered Zhang Haitai to read out many of the evidence of the Han family's crimes, especially gathering people to resist taxes and resist the New Deal's measures, all of which are serious crimes at the moment.

Even among the many pieces of evidence collected by the housekeeper, there was Han

Evidence of family recklessness for human life, rape ~ adultery of women.

After listening to this piece of incriminating evidence, Yao Guangming's face became even more gloomy, and he said directly and loudly: "Now that the human and physical evidence are all there, don't talk nonsense." Xu Shoubei, it's up to you. ”

Xu Fengran couldn't wait for a long time, and let the old and young talk nonsense, I don't know how many people will be involved, maybe the next person to be investigated will be himself.

So Xu Fengran made up his mind, even if he was implicated in the future, he would have to show it today, at least leaving a way back for himself, which could be regarded as a meritorious service.

"Brothers, rush in with me, and whoever dares to stop will be killed!"

The soldiers of the brigade roared angrily and rushed forward, and the dozens of soldiers of the Han family lost their hearts at this time, and retreated to the side one after another, and then they were disarmed by the soldiers and all taken to the street to guard.

At this time, Han Yu and Han Ran knelt on the side with pale faces, and the two had been taken down and tied up. The two of them listened to the sound of the women crying in the courtyard of the house, and the sound of the soldiers angrily scolding and rummaging for things, and they only felt that their hearts were about to be broken.

Yao Guangming and Zhang Haitai, accompanied by the garrison Xu Fengran, were about to enter the Han family's house, but were stopped by Han Yu.

"My Han family is just gathering people to resist taxes, and no one in the Jiangnan clan has done it in the early years, but why does the court keep an eye on my Han family!"

Yao Guangming stared at Han Yu for a while like a fool, and then said: "Today's imperial court is no longer the corrupt place it used to be, and today's national policy is not a bad government that oppresses the people and treats the powerful leniently. If you want to ask for wealth and nobility, you must rely on your ability, make money reasonably and legally, and want to fight against the court and continue

Oppress the people, don't think that it will end well! ”

"Now this official also advises you to wait: confess your accomplices as soon as possible, and you can also leave a bloodline for your Han family!"

After speaking, Yao Guangming and the others entered the Han family's mansion, leaving only Han Yu and Han Ran thinking about something with hideous faces.

On the same day, Yao Guangming, Zhang Haitai and others led the crowd to confiscate a lot of correspondence in Han's house, all of which were familiar with the contacts between the officials of Jingzhou Mansion and the other powerful gentry in Jiangnan.

Yao Guangming looked through it carefully, and the places where the powerful gentry who had contact with the Han family were located were the places where the people's tax resistance occurred, and the time and place were checked.

"Great!"

Yao Guangming smiled and said to Zhang Haitai: "This Han family has collusion with the officials of Jingzhou Mansion, maybe the rest of the powerful gentry are also related to local officials, and even ministers of the DPRK and China, this matter must be dug deeply!" ”

Zhang Haitai nodded and said: "My subordinates will mobilize people and rush to several other Haoqiang's homes to check their homes first." ”

"Well, good. In addition, it is necessary to mobilize manpower to immediately interrogate the father and son of the Han family, and a confession must be obtained within two days. ”

"Yes."

When Xu Fengran, the guard on the side, heard this, he immediately trembled with fright, and then knelt on the ground, snorting and tearing up: "My lord, the lower official was blinded by lard, accepted the Han family's silver, and helped the Han family bully the people on weekdays, so I confessed to the adults today, and asked the adults to punish them!" ”

Yao Guangming had seen this, but he didn't expect Xu Fengran to take the initiative to admit his guilt, so he asked, "Do you have a life on your hands?" ”

"Nope!"

Xu Fengran hurriedly said: "Xiaguan is just scaring people

, will never kill. ”

"Can you participate in the anti-tax and anti-New Deal?"

"Nope!"

Xu Fengran hurriedly said: "The lower officials will never dare to confront the imperial court, a hundred will not dare!" ”

"In that case, then the official will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, first deal with the affairs of the Han family, and then within a month, reorganize the soldiers and horses of his subordinates in accordance with the imperial court military reform order, and wait for the imperial court to verify, understand?"

At this time, Xu Fengran nodded busily and agreed: "The lower officials will definitely do it, please rest assured." ”

On that day, everyone copied all kinds of property from Han's house, at least worth more than 70,000 taels, not counting the grange outside the city.

Of course, these belongings of the Han family are actually not too much, and they can only be regarded as a middle-class and lower-class hero, but they are still a tyrant in Jiangling City.

That night, Zhang Haitai personally interrogated Han Yu and Han Ran, father and son, and it only took one night to cook the father and son obediently, and confessed everything one after another, and even the two of them found a few widows to explain clearly.

On the second day, Yao Guangming and Zhang Haitai sorted out the confessions of the Han family's father and son, as well as various evidence, and sent fast horses to the capital.

At the same time, Yao Guangming mobilized the men and horses of the Nanzhen Fu Division of the Military Intelligence Department and went to various places separately to control the powerful gentry who participated in the tax resistance in various places in advance.

When Liu Yan got the confession and evidence submitted by the Nanzhen Fu Division of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, he immediately ordered to start arresting people and raiding their homes, suppressed them with an iron fist, and dismissed many relatives and friends of the Jiangnan gentry in the court.

After this operation, the voices of opposition to the property tax in various places disappeared directly, and the imperial court collected the money

The amount of property taxes is also increasing.

It's just that Liu Yan also realized a serious problem because of this turmoil, that is, the land annexation situation in the Ming Dynasty has reached the point where it has to be changed.

"Now Daming's economy has not developed to the point where it can carry a large number of people, which will take time. Therefore, land is still the main direction that carries the population of the Ming Dynasty, and we must immediately start to solve the land problem! ”

At this time, Liu Yan only felt that he was in turmoil, since the implementation of the new policy and military reform, he first increased the content of tax reform, abolished the Nanjing court, and now wants to increase the content of land reform, as if later generations of programmers are changing bUG, more and more, one is more serious than the other!

Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, he had to hold on, with the current situation in China, the Ming Dynasty is still the best choice, maintaining a prosperous Ming Dynasty, at least than falling into the hands of the Manchu Qing Tartars, letting China sink for three hundred years is much better.

"Therefore, no matter how many difficulties there are, we must gnaw them one by one!"
