Zhang Haolin bent his waist and just stared at the gilt waist card in front of him, he frowned and seemed to be distinguishing the words on it, but he was illiterate at all, but looking at the cost of this waist card, he knew that he should be a person with a background.

"How can you be presumptuous in front of His Royal Highness King Qin, kneel down!" Before he could figure out how to deal with it, Qin Zuoming kicked Zhang Haolin in the calf.

Zhang Haolin was kicked to his knees and wanted to have a seizure, but when he heard this, his brows furrowed again, and at the same time, his eyes rolled around, thinking that he might really encounter a hard stubble this time, although he had never heard of King Qin, but this surnamed Qin would definitely not randomly pull someone to pretend to be the prince, thinking of this, Zhang Haolin immediately gave up the struggle and changed his expression.

"Lord! Lord Qin grabbed the little one indiscriminately, you have to call the shots for the little one! Zhang Haolin's face immediately turned cloudy to heavy rain, and he did not forget to beat a rake while kowtowing to Liu Hong.

"I don't know what this worker's name is?" Liu Hong gradually ignored Zhang Haolin, but asked the man who injured his hand just now.

Qin Zuoming's roar just now really frightened these workers, and they thought they had committed some serious crime, so they all crouched in the corner of the workshop.

"The little one's name is Liu Youmin." The man who hurt his hand said in fear.

"Liu Youmin, and you, now this king asks you questions, and you have to answer truthfully, this is related to your livelihood in the future, understand?" Liu Hong gradually glanced at the other workers.

He understands that sometimes the better you are to these low-level workers, the more they will not tell the truth, and the more you show the prestige of the superiors, they will submit to authority.

A group of workers nodded.

"Does this Zhang Haolin force you to polish one hundred and twenty bricks a day?" Liu Hong gradually asked.

The workers nodded again.

"Does it take ten hours to polish a hundred and twenty bricks?"

A few workers nodded again, but Liu Youmin and the other two did not.

"Lord Wang, it depends on the level of proficiency, even if the newcomer is eleven hours, he may not be able to polish it well, and he often rotates for two or three days in a row!" Liu Youmin seemed to understand that Liu Hongjian was helping them, and immediately explained.

"A few days ago, was there a worker named Li Liu who died of overwork due to overwork?" Liu Hongjian asked again.

"Back to the prince, yes, it's not just Li Liu, two people died last month, one is called Feng San, and the other is Zhao Tiezhu!

Every month, there are people who can't hold on, we all want to go, but this Zhang Haolin asks us to lose money, that Quanzhou prefect Cao Maoshan and Zhang Haolin are a nostril out of breath, we can't go, we have to be tired to death if we stay, don't hide it from the prince, I haven't rested for more than a day!

Ask the prince to be the master for us! Liu Minyou fell to his knees and cried as he spoke.

Due to the injury of his left hand, he had to give up the time to rest, because not only did he not have the monthly money on the day of leave, but also had to deduct another day's monthly money, and they all had wives and children to support, so they did not dare to ask for leave until they had to.

Sometimes I think about it, I still used to farm comfortably, although farming is also tired, but not so tired, I don't have time to rest, but they can't go back, Zhang Haolin, a profiteer, colluded with the Quanzhou prefect to let them live such a shackled life!

"Liu Minyou, you dare to spew blood!"

Smack—"Ouch! ”

Zhang Haolin also brought the majesty of the Dong family to scare people, and indeed the back of the head was suddenly attacked by Qin Zuoming, and he couldn't help but cover his head and lie on the ground and wail.

Liu Hongjian immediately took the workers in the workshop and Zhang Haolin to go directly to the Yamen of the Quanzhou Prefect, and called the workers in the surrounding workshops by the way.

He had actually seen Cao Maoshan, the prefect of Quanzhou, and he had just arrived at the Straw Hat Mountain at the boundary of Quanzhou, and he had to go out of the city for dozens of miles to greet him, and he had to take him to a banquet, but Liu Hong was gradually unwilling to go and refused.

When I arrived at the Yamen of the Quanzhou Prefect's Mansion, there were already officials guarding both sides of the gate, but when I saw Liu Hong coming with great momentum, and there were several rows of guards behind him, I couldn't help but panic, and I didn't dare to scold and run directly to the yamen.

After a while, Cao Maoshan ran out in official uniforms, but when he saw that in addition to Liu Hongji, the king of Qin, there were many people who looked like workers and his brother-in-law behind him, and he suddenly knew that it was not good.

"Lord Wang, why don't we go into the backyard to discuss?" Cao Maoshan gave Liu Hong a gradual look.

How could Liu Hongjian not know what this guy wanted to do, it is estimated that he has not made less money over the years, this is to use silver to calm people.

But Liu Hong gradually saw the little thing of a small prefect, glanced at Cao Maoshan and sat on the main seat of the prefect's yamen ascending hall.

Cao Maoshan touched his nose and wanted to sit in Liu Hongji's deputy position, but Liu Hongjian let him kneel under the hall with the group of workers and Zhang Haolin.

Cao Maoshan had heard of Liu Hongji's deeds, and knew that this young prince was not only powerful but also had been fighting in the south and north outside, and he did not dare to be disobedient when he signaled, and knelt down honestly.

He knew that it must be his brother-in-law who didn't know how to provoke King Qin, but he didn't think it should be a big crime, so he didn't take it too seriously.

But who knew that Liu Hong gradually went up and scolded Cao Maoshan, bluntly saying that Zhang Haolin was careless about human life, and as the prefect of Quanzhou, he broke the law and shielded Zhang Haolin, so that the people complained and the lives of the workers deteriorated.

The more Liu Hongjian spoke, the more excited he became, so much so that Qin Zuoming, who was sitting next to Liu Hongchuan, didn't know why His Royal Highness the King of Qin was so angry.

"Come on, push out this Quanzhou prefect and profiteer Zhang Haolin, and behead them in public on the street!" In the end, Liu Hong was already angry.

wasted so much effort and used so much energy, for the sake of Zhongxing Daming, but suddenly found that the real people at the bottom were still in dire straits.

It's really called, all the palaces have made soil, Xing, the people suffer, die, and the people suffer.

This made Liu Hongjian feel very disappointed, and there seemed to be a kind of resentment that was difficult to vent, which also made him see the extraordinarily resentment of the profiteer dog official in front of him, and he directly moved the killing intent.

"Lord Wang, although the lower official has slightly protected Zhang Haolin, but the crime is not to death, even if the lower official is at fault, it should be investigated according to the person of the probation department, the prince is so punished, and the lower official is not satisfied!"

Cao Maoshan kept kneeling down without saying a word, thinking that he would listen to what Liu Hongjian had to say first, and then give more money to settle the matter after the big deal, but he didn't expect that the young prince became more and more excited the more he spoke, and he wanted to kill him, so he immediately panicked.

"Wronged, Lord Wang, why did you kill the little one, then Li Liu died suddenly at work because of his poor health, and it has nothing to do with the little one!"

Zhang Haolin wanted to speak a long time ago, but his brother-in-law Cao Maoshan kept signaling him not to talk nonsense, but seeing that he was sentenced to death in a daze, where could Zhang Haolin calm down.

"Hmph, what is not in good health, it is obviously because you profiteers are overly oppressed, so that the workers have no one to work every night caused by overwork, and their death is directly related to you.

As the owner, not only do you not repent, but you also do not give any compensation to his family, which is clearly a matter of carelessness! Liu Hong rarely adjudicated cases, and rarely came into contact with these market skins, so he stood up angrily.

"But my lord, what law does the Ming Dynasty have that stipulates the working hours of the workers? Since the small ones have hired them, they have to complete the tasks according to the small set workload, and the small ones are wronged! Zhang Haolin continued to argue.

"Good! If you want to know which law it is, then this king will tell you now.

Article 14 of the work law of the Ming Dynasty stipulates that the employer shall not employ craftsmen and workers to work for more than five hours per day, and if the worker dies of overwork due to excessive overtime, the employer shall be fined 100 taels and pay a bereavement pension of 300 taels. Liu Hong gradually said to Zhang Haolin word by word.

"Good!"

At this time, the people had already gathered outside the yamen, and it was estimated that the people had already complained about this Cao Maoshan, and when they heard that the young adults in the hall were going to severely punish Cao Maoshan and Zhang Haolin, some people couldn't help but cheer loudly.

"Lord Wang, although the lower officials are only shallow in learning, as a Ming official, the Ming law is still known, and the lower officials have not heard of this law!" Cao Maoshan retorted.

"Of course you haven't heard of it, because this law is newly added by this king, and the work law of the Ming law starts today!

As a prefect, he doesn't want to seek the welfare of the people, and openly shields his relatives and carelessly disregards people's lives, which is the same crime! Come on, pull out this king and cut it down! After speaking, Liu Hong gradually grabbed the token in the court and threw it to the ground.

Cao Maoshan and Zhang Haolin were terrified when they heard this, Chang Yu saw that Qin Zuoming did not move, and gave Kuoduan and a few other guards a look, and Kuoduan immediately took a few soldiers to pull the two out.

On the street outside the yamen of the prefect of Quanzhou City, the two of them were solved cleanly with knives in hand.

Kuoduan and a few others are all veterans who follow Liu Hong's bloody battles everywhere, and they won't blink their eyes when they kill two dog officials and profiteers, they don't care who this person is, as long as Liu Hongjian gives an order, even if the political envoy stands here, he dares to cut it.

Where have the people seen such a vigorous and resolute style, although they hate Cao Maoshan, a dog official, but they were still shocked to cut off their heads in court so quickly.

"People, the court's encouragement of industry and commerce is for the benefit of the landless people, not for profiteers, dogs, and officials to jointly exploit you.

If the officials of the yamen ignore it, they can report it to the next level, and if the matter is found out, the officials at all levels who neglect their duties will be guilty of the same crime!

As this king just said, the law of the work of the Great Ming Law starts today! ”
