Although Cheng Jingzhou used Song Daring, considering that he had just been on an errand and might not have experience in setting up a mouthful, he also sent out the martial arts master around him.

The two of them worked together, and soon found out that they were tired.

And Xie Xiuqi was responsible for turning out some of the documents and contracts archived in the county, and naturally he could find out whether the fifteen acres of fertile land were Geng Hanzi's.

"My lord, Geng Hanzi originally refused to say, but then the little one went to find his mother-in-law, and his mother-in-law said the matter as it was, the fifteen acres of fertile land belonged to the Wang Ju family in the county, and Wang Juren had 100 acres of fertile land in Gengjiazhuang, but they reported only twenty acres.

The little one went to Geng Hanzi's house, only to find that his eldest son was beaten up, and the injury was not light, after careful questioning, he learned that he was beaten by several men from the village chief's family, and now he is still raised in bed, and the money for the medicine is also taken by themselves, and the village chief's family also spoke badly, claiming that if they dare to talk nonsense again, they will drive Geng Hanzi's family out of Geng's village. ”

In these years, if the villagers are driven out, it must be full of evil, and once they move out, other villages and towns will not be willing to accept it, which is equivalent to a bad reputation, and it is more difficult for the children of the family to talk about their relatives.

Cheng Jingzhou was curious: "How did you convince them to tell the truth?" ”

Song Daring smiled, touched the back of his head and said: "I brought two catties of meat to their family, and said that if it can be found out, then his eldest son's medicine money will also be paid, and he can get a lot of compensation, the most important thing is that if it is really decided like this this time, then they will have to collect the tax of fifteen acres of fertile land for decades." When his family heard this, they became anxious, and hurriedly explained the matter carefully. ”

Cheng Jingzhou was satisfied: "Yes, you have a good idea." ”

Song Daring said with a smile: "Thank you, my lord, in fact, it is also because the small family is poor, and I used to farm in the village, so I know what is most important for farmers." ”

Cheng Jingzhou nodded, it is true.

It was also because Song Daring knew how much the tax was on the fifteen acres of fertile land, and he repeatedly emphasized it for decades, which stimulated that Geng Hanzi.

"Then how many other Geng Hanzi who have been changed fields can be explained?"

"It's all said. The little ones were afraid that they wouldn't be able to remember, so they wrote them down. ”

Cheng Jingzhou took it and took a look, it was actually divided into four families to divide the eighty acres of fertile land, and it was difficult for this king to raise people.

"You go down to rest first, and tomorrow I will take Geng Hanzi and the other three bitter masters to the county office, and I will give them an explanation in person."

"Yes, the little one."

After dinner, Master Wu also returned.

"My lord, my subordinates have checked, Wang Juren has a total of more than 1,000 acres of land under his name, of which 600 acres are registered, and he has a son who has won Xiucai, and his name has 80 acres. Wang Juren had heard the wind this summer, so he had a corresponding arrangement. As for the village chief of Gengjiazhuang, his son works in Wang Juren's house and is a tent in a shop under Wang Juren's name. ”

With this relationship, a lot of things can be smoothed out.

"Where else did you find out where the fields were deliberately replaced?"

"In addition to Gengjiazhuang, there are two other villages that have been dredged by him with money. In this way, he originally registered 600 acres of fertile land, which would turn out to be 1,000 acres, but because most of it was inferior land, and even wasteland, he was exempt from paying taxes. ”

This Wang Juren is quite tall!

He knew that this number could not be changed, so he thought of borrowing inferior land or even wasteland to avoid taxes.

Although there were some twists and turns, the property in his own name was preserved, and he was able to pay no taxes.

When the county lord of Jiahua cleared those fields, yes, he did clear the extra fields and resold them to others, or gave them to his own subordinates.

In short, the practice of the county lord of Jiahua is the safest, but the only drawback is that a large amount of land will be lost.

Although there is no need to pay taxes, compared with the loss of the fields that can make money, Wang Juren obviously wants to keep the chicken that lays eggs.

However, this method is a roundabout idea, if it weren't for Song Daring and their carefulness, they might not be able to find out about this matter.

Cheng Jingzhou thought that Wang Juren was also a scholar, and judging from his resume, he was also born in a family of cultivators and scholars, how could he not know what this field meant to the family?

He obviously already has 600 acres of tax-free land, and he is not satisfied, and he even vainly tries to impose all the taxes on ordinary peasant households, which is really sinister!

Such a sinister and cunning person also deserves the privileges of the imperial court?

The next day, Cheng Jingzhou sent someone to invite Wang Juren.

The so-called please, it is just a nice thing to say, Li An personally brought a team of messengers over, and Wang Juren couldn't make an excuse to change his clothes.

Wang Juren had a bad premonition, but he thought that he was also a lifter, and he just paid some fines like the Du family.

Wang Juren thought that he would be invited into the inner hall to speak, but he didn't want to, he was directly brought into the court.

After Cheng Jingzhou exempted him from courtesy, he asked someone to move a chair for him to sit.

At least, it's enough for him to be decent now.

However, when Cheng Jingzhou ordered Xie Xiuqi to indicate the location of the land and the number of acres indicated on the land deeds, Wang Jucai's face changed greatly.

Generally speaking, in order to finish the work early, the servants would not have thought so much about it.

Moreover, Wang Juren was afraid that things would show flaws, and he deliberately gave some benefits to Lieutenant Feng.

But I didn't think about it, and it was planted today!

Wang Juren looked around, but only saw Li An alone, as for the Feng County Lieutenant, he didn't see anyone at all.

"What else does Wang Juren have to say?"

Master Cheng was angry, the students were confused, and it must be the people below who misunderstood the meaning of the students, so there was this. You can rest assured, the tax silver that should be made up, our Wang family will make up a lot. ”

Wang Juren was embarrassed, and at this moment, he also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply took the initiative to admit his mistake, thinking that the most he could do was to pay more fines like the Du family.

But he didn't want to, but this time Cheng Jingzhou's face was extremely serious.

"Wang Juren, what you are doing is not just as simple as paying taxes and silver!"

Wang Juren was shocked and looked at the lord with a frightened face: "My lord? ”

Cheng Jingzhou didn't look at him, "County Lieutenant Li, bring someone up." ”

"Yes."

The county lieutenant Li ordered the village chief of Gengjiazhuang and his son, who was working in Wang Ju's family, to the court, not only them, but also several families of bitter masters to the court.

"Wang Juren, the people in the hall, do you know?"
