Soon, Master Yuan Zhi was brought over.

This is an elegant middle-aged man with two mustaches at the corners of his mouth and a bookish body.

As soon as he arrived at the hall, Yuan Zhi bowed to Guan Ning and said:

"Student Yuan Zhi, I've seen the general!"

Guan Ning waved his hand and said, "No courtesy, I'll ask you!" Are you the master of this Donglin Mansion? ”

Yuan Zhi nodded:

"It's the students."

Guan Ning also nodded:

"Well, now your county decree says that you are behind the collection of ten acres of land tax for two acres of land and the overcollection of people's field tax, and he doesn't know anything, can you plead guilty?"

Hearing this, Yuan Zhi raised his head slightly and looked at Huang Dinglun who was jurifying on the side.

Huang Dinglun was slightly unnatural by his gaze, and subconsciously dodged his gaze, but then thought that he was a county magistrate, this was just a little master of his own, and immediately faced his gaze again, and glared back viciously with a warning.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhi sighed, and then arched his hand:

"This is not a student's crime, it is actually ordered by the county order, please investigate it to the general!"

"Oh, what did the Huang County Order order tell you to do?"

Guan Ning narrowed his eyes, glanced at Yuan Zhi deeply, and then turned his head to look at Huang Dinglun on the side, and asked, "Huang County Order, what do you explain?" ”

Huang Dinglun was anxious at this time, and suddenly stood up and shouted angrily at Yuan Zhi:

"Yuan Zhi, you'd better know what you're talking about! What does it mean that the county instructed you to act, and what evidence do you have to prove that the county instructed you? ”

Huang Dinglun was about to be mad, in his opinion, it was a sure thing for Yuan Zhi to resist everything for himself, but he didn't expect that this Yuan Zhi was so uninteresting, not only did he resist everything, but he also said what he ordered.

Yuan Zhi bowed slightly and said: "County Zun, the student has already advised you, be a man and leave a line to see each other in the future, and leave a line in doing things, so as not to make people go away."

At the beginning, if you let the people's families bear five times more land taxes, the people will still have something to eat.

But since the beginning of this year, you have made the people bear nearly 50 acres of heavenly taxes, which has forced people to a dead end, otherwise there would be no today.

Proof, students naturally have.

The county respects the future and goes all the way to the dead end, and the students are unwilling to accompany the county to step into the abyss.

Therefore, every time the field tax is collected, the real field tax will be recorded in the documents returned to the people.

In addition, the county honored how much money the county collected from the wealthy families in the county, and distributed their land taxes to whom, and the specific households, such details were recorded clearly, and there was a special account book, which can prove all this. ”

Hearing that there was a special account book, Guan Ning became interested and immediately asked, "Where is the account book?" ”

Yuan Zhi immediately replied: "It's on the student." ”

After that, Yuan Zhi immediately took out a ledger without a cover from his arms and presented it respectfully.

Guan Ning opened it and took a look, and sure enough, it clearly recorded that on a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day, where the county ordered Huang Dinglun to collect whom, how many taels of silver, and the distribution of the land tax in his family to those villagers, etc., all the details were clearly recorded.

It can be said that as long as you take this account book to check, it will definitely be accurate.

Immediately, Guan Ning closed the account book in his hand, looked coldly at Huang Dinglun, who was already frightened and pale, and asked coldly: "Huang County Order, what else do you have to say now?" ”

Huang Dinglun sat on the chair for a long time, and then got up like crazy and pointed at Yuan Zhidao:

"It's him! It's him! He did it all! All this has nothing to do with the county, he did it, and this account book is forged in order to slander the county! None of this has anything to do with the county! Never mind! Never mind! Hahahaha......"

Underneath, Yuan Zhi's eyes, nose, nose, and heart were motionless.

In the hall, Guan Ning looked coldly at Huang Dinglun going crazy and motionless.

Finally, after going crazy for a while, Huang Dinglun sat back dejectedly, and said with a disgraced face:

"The county is wrong......

……

On the same day, Huang Dinglun was beheaded by Guan Ning in front of the people of the county.

At the same time, following the account book, Guan Ning's family sent troops to arrest these wealthy families to the county and let them identify their fields.

And let them show the paperwork for paying the taxes.

Naturally, they can't take it out.

Guan Ning immediately cut down their head of the family in the name of tax evasion, and the male members of the direct family within three generations were sentenced to exile, and the female was gathered to prepare to be sent to the Jiaofang Division.

At the same time, the fields that made the local people bear the field tax were directly distributed to the people who carried them, which immediately made the people of Donglin County cheer.

And Guan Ning dared to do all this, naturally with Zhao Jun's instructions.

Otherwise, where would he dare to do this?

Immediately, when this matter was reported back to Nanyang Mansion City, it immediately caused an uproar.

All this that happened in Donglin County can be said to be not an isolated case in the entire Nanyang Prefecture.

Distributing one's own land tax to the heads of other mud legs and letting the mud legs pay it is undoubtedly a safer way than hiding the fields, but I didn't expect it to be discovered all of a sudden.

Many people regret it in their hearts, but it is too late to redeem it.

After Donglin County, Guan Ning dispersed his people into small groups and went to various counties to investigate.

At the same time, due to the example of Donglin County, the local people also began to report enthusiastically, and under the reports of these people, all the people with ghosts had nowhere to hide.

For a while, Guan Ning killed a person in the entire Nanyang County, and the head was rolling, and the blood was flowing like a river!

As the people's reporting became a trend, as soon as the action team in Guanning arrived in the local area, the people, who were usually docile like sheep, rushed to the working group to report the lawlessness despite the obstruction of the local government.

Later, it developed to the point that as long as the working group gave an order, there was no need for the soldiers of the working group to do it themselves, and the people spontaneously went to arrest those who bullied them and the wealthy and wealthy families to be tried in the court.

With the emperor behind him, these people are much more confident now.

Those officials did not dare to stop anything, for fear of being arrested by the people who had already gone up.

Cases of land invasion began to be staged in the entire Nanyang County.

In the past, all the high-ranking officials, wealthy gentry, were dragged to the court by the people to criticize and fight.

One crime after another was reported, and one bloody case after another surfaced.

Immediately afterwards, a person rolled on the ground, and a wealthy family was divided into fields!

Suddenly, the inventory of acres in the entire Nanyang County entered a white-hot stage, evolving from the inventory of people sent by the imperial court to the stage of the people taking the initiative to help with the inventory.

Who knows the situation better than them, all the hidden land has been turned out, and acre by acre is recorded.

The amount of land in Nanyang County, which was registered by the imperial court, rose in an instant.

When Zhao Jun got the preliminary data, he was also taken aback by this terrifying amount!
