In the blink of an eye, October is coming.

The sky was like a thick cloud of ink, and raindrops with an icy smell fell in an ancient city that was round above and below, wetting the two blue brick streets that crisscrossed the inner city.

This autumn rain brought not only a baptism to the ancient city, but also a chill of autumn, which made the temperature in the city drop suddenly. It seems that in this autumn rain, people fell from the hot summer to the cold autumn.

Despite the autumn rain, the yamen of Leizhou Mansion was not closed and remained open as usual. At this time, in the second hall, an official wearing a five-grade official uniform was sitting in front of the case and hearing the case.

"This official pronounces the verdict! The Qian Mansion immediately returned the land that had encroached on Fan San, without delay, and withdrew! With a shocking sound, the trial was over.

A simple-looking man immediately knelt down, and the tears of the dignified seven-foot man poured out and flowed to his cheeks, and he shouted in his mouth: "Lord Qingtian".

This case is not complicated, Fan San opened up a piece of barren land, and this barren field followed the Li family's field. It's just that the Li family sold the field to the Qian Mansion, and the Qian Mansion took Fan San's Tian together.

Although Fan San's barren land paid taxes every year, he did not register with the county government office, and he did not get the testimony of the grain chief, which can be regarded as empty words. On the contrary, Qian Fu took out the land deed, and said confidently that the barren land belonged to their family, and it was the land property marked on the land deed.

When encountering this kind of thing, ordinary people may consider themselves unlucky, but Fan San is just a tough person. Recently, I heard that the new prefect was fair and honest, so I came to the government again to file a complaint.

For such cases, the yamen has always refused to accept them, and the complaint will only waste the money for the lawsuit. Only this time, the Leizhou government not only accepted it, but also sentenced the Qian government to return the encroached land.

"Fan San is really going back to his wasteland?"

"I also want to sue the Qian Mansion, my family's land has been forcibly seized by him again!"

"Leizhou City finally has a good official, and my family's land deed is still pressed on the head of the bed, so I'll go back and get it!"

……

As soon as the news of Fan San's victory came out, it stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and many people complained one after another.

Less than half a day later, countless pieces of paper flew like snowflakes, all of which were accusing the landlords of Leizhou City of misappropriating their land or forcibly buying them at a low price.

Fan San's victory in this lawsuit undoubtedly made everyone see a ray of light and see the opportunity to regain the encroached land.

In the past, whenever the people sued the squires for seizing the land, the government often favored the squires, causing them, the townspeople, to lose the lawsuit. Losing lawsuits again and again, wasting money again and again, made them gradually daunted.

This matter is not to blame for the inaction of the Haikang County Government or the Leizhou Mansion, because this situation is a norm in the entire Ming Dynasty. Compared with the poor peasants who had no power or power, the yamen was more willing to listen to the words of the squires.

But this time, Lin Haoran broke that convention. In the face of such ambiguous cases, he is "rather a squire than a small people", and the balance is tilted in favor of the poor people.

The aggrieved people were naturally overjoyed, but the rich landowners were terrified.

It is certainly impossible for them to say that they have accumulated so much land that they have bought and sold it legally. Especially in this era, the people regarded the land as their life, and the people would be scolded by the clan for buying and selling the land, so no one would easily sell the land.

It is precisely for this reason that the vast majority of their land property was obtained by taking advantage of the danger of others, and some of it was obtained by inglorious means, and some were even obtained by forcible seizure.

If they really want to investigate it, they are afraid that they will have to return a lot of their land. Just thinking about it makes these rich landowners, who are known for being stingy, feel a burst of pain in their flesh, and even have a dead heart.

Of course, they also thought about uniting to resist together, and they had done this kind of thing before, but this time they were not facing an ordinary prefect.

This prefect was not only born in the Hanlin Academy, but also a native of western Guangdong, and his official reputation is also very good.

In fact, they couldn't blame Lin Haoran too much, because everyone knew that this incident was caused by the events of the day, and they angered this lord from the Hanlin Academy.

"Isn't it just taking 20% of the thin field to grow cotton? Just promise him! ”

"That's it! That Qian Shan is a pig, and he dares to openly turn his face with Lin Governor's Mansion, isn't this looking for death? ”

"At the beginning, I didn't give people this face, but now people want to fix you, and you can't blame people for turning their faces and not recognizing people!"

……

A group of rich landlords had nothing to do after summing it up, and in the end the spearhead was pointed at Qian Shan, putting the blame on Qian Shan, and it was he who ignited the anger of the new prefect.

In fact, when they heard Lin Haoran's proposal that day, although they knew that their interests might be damaged, they wanted to sell Lin Haoran a little face and take a few fields to plant some cotton.

It's just that who would have thought that Qian Shan, a stunned man, jumped out and openly opposed it, which angered this noble-born and young and vigorous lord, thus leading to such a disaster.

At this moment, what they hated the most was not Lin Haoran, who wanted to beat them, but that stunned Qian Shan.

If it is said that the life of the rich man is not good, Qian Shanzhi feels the feeling that the dark clouds cover the top and the end is coming.

It was also on this day that a rumor that was extremely unfavorable to the Qian family appeared, and spread in the streets and alleys of Leizhou City. In fact, this is not news, but an old rumor.

It's just that when this rumor spread, the Qian Mansion suddenly paid for the construction of the Qian Bin Bridge in the Nandu River, and the Qian Mansion was in the limelight at that time, so the rumor quickly disappeared.

Although it was also mentioned afterwards, more people believed that the philanthropic Qian Fu was innocent, and they were deliberately smeared by the enemy.

In this rumor, the old woman who helped Qian Bin was surnamed Li Minghui and was a Yao Min. This Yao people are probably the most restless minority in the Ming Dynasty, from the Hongwu period to the present, they have jumped out from time to time to raise the banner of rebellion.

When the Qian Mansion learned that Yaomin was in rebellion again, he was afraid that he would be implicated, so he swept the old woman, who was already deaf and blind, out of the house and made an ungrateful act.

However, the old woman was also lucky, she was taken in by Qian Bin's main room, and enjoyed her old age, and got a good death.

Now that the rumors have risen, everyone is no longer biased towards the Qian Mansion, but confirms this matter. Soon, everyone came to an astonishing fact, this rumor was not fabricated, and Qian Fu really did something ungrateful.

All of a sudden, as the most prestigious Qian Mansion in Leizhou City, collapsed, and many people ran to the door of Qian Mansion and threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, scolding Qian Fu for being ungrateful.
