Zhong Hui got out of the car and walked quickly into his brother's mansion.

In Zhong Yu's mansion, there were more than 20 armor soldiers at this moment, and when these people saw Zhong Hui, they hurriedly bowed to them, and Zhong Hui didn't even look at them.

When I walked into the study, I saw an official sitting in front of Zhong Yu.

Zhong Hui looked him up and down and asked unhappily, "Who are you?!" ”

The man smiled bitterly, and hurriedly got up and bowed: "Zhong Gong, I'm Zuo Xi!" ”

Zhong Hui suddenly remembered that when His Majesty went to the restaurant to eat, he was recognized by this person, and then he promoted him to the Criminal Department.

He also has a very ugly-looking son!!

Zhong Hui suddenly realized, "It turned out to be you, has your son ever grown up?" ”

Zuo Xi paused, "No." ”

"My son is now studying in Taixue, and this is thanks to Zhong Gong, I have never forgotten your kindness."

Zuo Xi faced Zhong Hui very respectfully.

This is not only because Zuo Xi was promoted by the Zhong Society, but more importantly, the status of the Zhong Hui today.

Don't say it's him, even if Wei Shu comes, he has to sit in front of Zhong Hui with his head down.

What's more, according to the grapevine, Zhong Hui will soon be promoted to Situ!

Situ Gong at this age, who dares to offend.

Zhong Hui glanced at Zhong Yu, "Brother, what are you sending someone to invite me for?" ”

Zhong Yu saw that Zhong Hui was coming, so he chuckled and looked at Zuo Xi.

"Naturally, there is something important."

"This Zuo Gong is here to thoroughly investigate the amount of farmland in our family."

Zhong Hui sighed, and then looked at Zuo Xi, "How many acres of cultivated land has my family counted?" ”

Zuo Xi hurriedly took out the paperwork.

It records in detail the cultivated land of the Zhong family in each place, and looking at the thickness of this document, you can think about how much financial resources their family has.

Zuo Xi flipped through a few pages, and then said with a smile: "Zhong Gong, according to the estimated amount, it is 31,000 acres of cultivated land, of which 3,000 acres are fertile land, 17,000 acres of middle field, and the rest are lower fields."

Zhong Hui immediately frowned.

Make somebody's blood boil.

"Bold?!"

"Thirty-one thousand acres?!"

Seeing that Zhong Hui was angry, Zuo Xi's heart sank.

What I feared most happened anyway.

What he was afraid of was this, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department repeatedly explained that they should not be cheating, and they should not be afraid of anyone they faced, but Zhong will be different.

It doesn't matter if they offend those older three dukes, if they want to take revenge in the future, they have to have that lifespan, besides, the emperor will not watch them retaliate.

But this, His Majesty's number one favorite minister, Zuo Xi felt that the other party was now lifting a knife to cut off his head, and the emperor would not blame him, and he had to praise his good knife skills.

Zuo Xi hesitated for a moment, and then said helplessly: "It's me who saw it wrong."

Should I say 20,000? Or should I say ten thousand?

It can't be less than 10,000.

Less than 10,000 is a bit unbearable

Just when Zuo Xi was struggling with how much to say, Zhong Hui said angrily: "You guys despise my Zhong family very much!" ”

"My family is in my hometown, there are 50,000 or 60,000 acres of fertile land, if you count the rest of the places, it is 200,000 can be made up, you dare to say that my family only has 30,000 acres of land? 3,000 acres of fertile land?? ”

"Huh??"

Zuo Xi was immediately stunned.

Zhong Yu also looked at his younger brother in shock at this moment.

Zhong Hui looked at his brother.

"Brother, take out all those things and show them to this guy! Open your eyes to this guy!! ”

Zuo Xi swallowed his saliva, in fact, he had opened his eyes now.

Zhong Yu was silent for a long time.

Zuo Xi saw that his face was constantly changing.

Sometimes it's iron-blue, sometimes it's red.

Just when Zuo Xi suspected that he was about to faint, he finally opened his mouth.

"Okay."

The next thing was much easier, Zhong Yu's old housekeeper knew these things very well, and he accompanied Zuo Xi to re-register.

Zuo Xi didn't stay here any longer, he followed the housekeeper and quickly left this place of right and wrong.

Zhong Yu only looked at his younger brother at this moment.

"Yes"

"Brother!"

"Xun Yi also registered before, it is 100,000 mu."

Zhong Hui was stunned for a moment, and then said disdainfully: "This guy must have reservations, and it will definitely not be less than us." ”

"Let's not say whether he is hiding it or not, anyway, Your Majesty didn't say anything more, do you know what it means?"

"It means that Your Majesty is ready to start slowly."

Zhong Yu shook his head, "It means that Your Majesty is not trying to kill everything, but there is some leeway, yes, I have repeatedly told you that people must have a long-term vision, not just see what is in front of them." ”

Zhong Hui interrupted his brother's words very impatiently, "Isn't my brother reluctant to give up this property?" As far as I'm concerned, the two of us have enough money and the cultivated land to be very rich, and my brother is not a pleasure-seeker, and I am not, so why should I do that? ”

Hearing Zhong Hui's questioning, Zhong Yu couldn't help it, and he said loudly: "Everyone else is tens of thousands of newspapers, but you are hundreds of thousands of newspapers!" What will others think of you?! ”

"They will think that my family is cheating on them, and betraying them in order to be able to ask for merit in front of His Majesty!!"

"Are you trying to make my Zhong family all enemies?!"

"Besides, Your Majesty, the more you report, the more he will appreciate you? Aren't you afraid that he will be jealous because of this? ”

"You are so young now, you are not good at money, in order to go one step further and give up all your family property, do you think Your Majesty will use you with confidence?!"

Zhong Yu seemed to be extremely angry, he pointed outside and scolded: "Do you know how outsiders view our Zhong family? Until now, I don't have the face to meet those friends! Sooner or later, the entire clan will perish in your hands!! ”

"Also, did you arrest Zhong Yu not long ago? What exactly is your problem? Even your own family has to be arrested?! ”

"He is corrupt and perverts the law, why can't he be arrested."

"Also, how others think of me is someone else's business, but brother, you really care too much about these people, these people are like chickens and dogs in front of me, I really don't care about them!!"

The sound of the two brothers arguing even reached outside the house.

Zuo Xi's face was full of helplessness, but he didn't understand anything, and the housekeeper took him to a more remote place, and the two checked again.

Seven or eight officials came to help, and after a busy afternoon, it was finally completed.

When they walked out of the door, they happened to meet Zhong Hui who came out angrily, and Zuo Xi hurriedly retreated to the side, not daring to see each other.

Zhong Hui just left in front of him.

Zuo Xi couldn't help but exhale.

It's dangerous.

Zuo Xi first went to the Criminal Department and met Wei Shu.

Wei Shu is also one of the emperor's close ministers, but he is low-key, and he is never inconspicuous on weekdays.

But if you despise this person because of this, then you have to take the whole family to Nanzhong for a happy time.

Zuo Xi didn't dare to hide it, and truthfully informed the other party of what happened in Zhonghui Mansion.

Wei Shu listened to him very carefully, and only after he finished speaking, did he nod, "Okay, I know, you can go back first." ”

Zuo Xi has long been accustomed to the character of this Shangshu.

None of them in the Criminal Department had ever seen this Shangshu's panicked appearance, and he always seemed to have such a calm face.

No matter what happens, it's not enough to make him change color.

Zuo Xi said goodbye and left.

Wei Shu looked at the paperwork he handed in and fell into deep thought.

Wei Shu has been a little busy recently, and His Majesty asked him to come forward to suppress Sun Yan and the others.

It's not very easy to do.

And the thorough investigation of the big clan is now divided into three steps, the first is sent by the household department, and the second is sent by the criminal department

According to the investigation of the various tribes, there are different standards for each big clan, and if it is lower than this standard, Wei Shu will come forward.

So far, there has been no transfer of the clan that can solve the problem.

These inappropriate people, even now, are unwilling to tell the truth, and they are still constantly concealing it.

And for these people, the criminal department also has a way.

But this Zhong family seems to have handed it over a lot?

Wei Shu didn't think much about it, just put it aside and continued to wait for the rest of the people to come and tell him.

At this moment, Zuo Xi had just returned home, and before he had eaten a mouthful of hot food, he saw his son hurriedly walking out.

Zuo Xi has high hopes for this son, but he is too wooden.

First I learned the drum and piano, but I didn't do it, and then I went to learn calligraphy, but I still didn't do it, and I couldn't learn to paint.

Finally, after learning poetry, he finally began to show his talent.

Zuo Xi was extremely excited, and let him cure the classics, which cost him a lot of money and sent him to Taixue.

But this guy seems to be very impatient every day, and it seems that his mind is completely off his studies.

"Where are you going?!"

Zuo Xi asked angrily.

Zuo Si shuddered, looked at his father, lowered his head, and said nothing.

He was always like this in front of his father, Zuo Xi taught him a lot of truths, including how to get along with others, how to show his talents, but this guy just didn't grow.

Looking at his wooden-like son, Zuo Xi was very disappointed.

"Forget it, just do whatever you want."

Zuo thought about to say something, but Zuo Xi had already turned around and walked into the study.

Zuo Si stood where he was, stayed for a long time, and then turned around and left his home.

He held the book in his hand, and just walked on the road, his home was not far from Taixue, but he had already come here after walking for less than an hour.

There are activities in Taixue today, and since Sun Yan debated with Chen Zhou, the activities here have been one after another, and they have not stopped.

Taixue was crowded with people, Zuo Si looked a little afraid, he subconsciously shrunk his waist, hugged the book in his hand to his chest, and walked towards the lively place casually.

On the high platform, Sun Yan was debating loudly with Kong Chao.

The smell of fire was full, and the scholars were also shouting loudly, as if they would do it at any moment.

The armor soldiers in the distance were also eager to try, ready to come up and stop them at any time.

Zuo Si looked at this scene, but thoughtfully.

In the distance, a group of people came, Xun Yi took the lead, and there were celebrities on the left and right.
