After listening to Wang Ben's crying, Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Let Li Jian come over!" ”

Xu Ying bowed and bowed, walked away quickly, and after a short time, he brought Li Jian over.

Seeing Wang Ben kneeling in front of the carriage, snot and tears, Li Jian secretly grinned, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed forward: "Your Majesty! ”

Liu Xiu asked: "Wang Ben told the king of Surabaya to seize the land, Li County Order, do you know about this?" ”

"This ...... This...... Weichen ...... "Li Jian was hesitant and didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

Liu Xiu frowned and asked, "Li County Ling doesn't know about this?" ”

"No...... Wechen ...... Wechen knows, it's just ...... It's just that Wei Chen hasn't investigated it clearly......" When Li Jian spoke, a layer of sweat beads appeared on his head.

Liu Xiu stared at him for a moment and asked, "King Surabaya is in Ye County now?" ”

Li Jian hurriedly replied: "It's ...... Precisely! ”

Liu Xiu nodded, waved his hand at him, and said, "Stand down!" ”

Waiting for Li Jian to get up, Liu Xiu said to Wang Ben again: "Wang Ben, you also get up, if this matter is indeed the fault of the king of Surabaya, I will punish him and give you justice!" ”

When Wang Ben heard this, he kowtowed again and again, and said in a trembling voice with a crying voice: "Your Majesty Shengming! Your Majesty! ”

Liu Xiu didn't say anything more, and put down the curtain of the curtains.

After the carriage continued to move, Yin Lihua, who was in the same car with Liu Xiu, saw that his face was not good, and whispered comfortingly: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be angry with the king of Surabaya, when you see the king of Surabaya, everything is clear, and it is not too late to make a decision." ”

Liu Xiu said quietly: "The king of Surabaya obviously has his own fief, but he still wants to go back to Nanyang to buy land, which is nothing more than taking a fancy to the imperial court's tax reduction and exemption for Nanyang, and wants to make a lot of money from it."

If only the King of Surabaya was like this, it would be fine......" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

The problem was that many princes and nobles had taken leave of absence from the imperial court, left Luoyang or their respective fiefdoms, and returned to Nanyang one after another.

Did they go back to Nanyang just to visit their relatives?

I'm afraid that visiting relatives is fake, but land is real.

These princes and nobles want to take advantage of the imperial court policy, and Liu Xiu can tolerate it, but you can't use the banner of the Han family to use your status as a prince to take advantage of and oppress the people.

Deng Feng's experience has just passed, if it arouses public anger again, Nanyang doesn't know how many 'Deng Feng' will emerge! There was nothing to say all the way, Liu Xiu's guard of honor arrived in Yecheng, outside the city of Yecheng, there was a large group of people, led by two people, Liu Xiu knew both, one was Liu She, the king of Surabaya, and the other was Liu Zhong, the king of Zichuan.

Seeing Liu Xiu coming out of the carriage, Liu She and Liu Zhong stepped forward quickly, bowed to the ground, and said, "Weichen greets Your Majesty!" ”

Even if Liu Xiu was a hundred unhappy in his heart, the surface etiquette was still passable.

He took two steps forward, helped Liu She and Liu Zhong's father and son up, and said with a smile: "The king of Surabaya and the king of Zichuan don't need to be polite!" ”

Liu She said with a smile on his face: "I learned that Your Majesty passed through Ye County, and Weichen was unable to meet him from afar, so I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" ”

Liu Xiu smiled lightly and waved his hand, and said, "Let's go into the city to talk!" ”

Liu She said as if offering a treasure: "Weichen has a mansion in Yecheng, which can be given to His Majesty for His Majesty's palace!" ”

Liu Xiu said: "I can live in the post house. ”

Liu She hurriedly said: "The conditions of the post house are too poor, and it is inconvenient to live in it. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Zhong beside him.

After all, he and Liu Xiu are different in generation, and the relationship between them is not very close, and it is his son Liu Zhong who is really close to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu and Liu Zhong were playmates when they were young, the two have similar temperaments, and they can also play together, and their relationship has always been very close.

Liu Zhong saw the eyes handed over by his father, and smiled at Liu Xiu: "Your Majesty, don't shirk it, if you push it back and forth between Your Majesty and your ministers, it will be too much of an outlook." ”

Liu Xiu was amused by Liu Zhong's words, patted Liu Zhong's arm, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, Ah Zhong's body is a lot stronger!" ”

Liu Zhong's health has always been not very good, frail and sickly, he is older than Liu Xiu, but he looks very thin, when they play together, Liu Xiu always takes care of him, it seems that Liu Xiu is more like a brother.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's grace, Weichen has no worries about food and clothing in the mansion, and it is difficult to think about it!"

Liu Zhongle sighed.

Liu She's fief is in Surabaya County in Yuzhou, that is, Peiguo County, which is blocked, and he has a fief.

And Liu Zhong's fief is Zichuan in Qidi, and Qi is currently occupied by Zhang Bu, so Liu Zhong's fief is only his name, and there is no fact, he has been living in the palace in Luoyang.

Although you can't get the fiefdom's food estate, the imperial court will also distribute it every year, which is not as rich as the fiefdom's food estate, so that it is more than enough to support a royal mansion.

Liu Zhong's words changed sharply, and he said: "Your Majesty is indeed not suitable for living in the post house, just live in your father's house, Your Majesty, don't shirk anymore." ”

Hearing Liu Zhong say this, Liu Xiu thought about it, and finally nodded.

Liu She did not have one house in Yecheng, but several houses, all of which he bought from the county government.

After years of war, Nanyang has suffered a serious loss of population, and many houses have been vacated and uninhabited, and finally fell into the hands of the county government.

For princes and nobles, this is also a good way to make money.

They don't need to spend much money to buy a large mansion from the county government, even if they sell it later or rent it out, which is a lot of money.

This is the charm of power, and there are too many ways to make money when you have power in your hands.

Coming to the house provided by Liu She, Liu Xiu raised his eyes and looked at it, this big mansion can be called luxurious.

He took Yin Lihua out of the carriage with his hand, and seeing this, Liu She and Liu Zhong on the side saluted together and said, "Yin nobleman!" ”

Yin Lihua is no stranger to Liu She and Liu Zhong, when Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua got married, his father and son both came to say goodbye, and later in Luoyang, when Liu Xiu held a clan banquet, they could often meet.

Yin Lihua said softly: "King of Surabaya, King of Zichuan!" ”

Liu Zhong said with a smile: "The complexion of the Yin nobles is much better than before, and now it is even more radiant!" ”

This kind of almost frivolous remark is something that others don't dare to say, but the relationship between Liu Zhong and Liu Xiu is too familiar, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as their own brother, there are not so many courtesies between monarchs and ministers, and they are not so restrained.

Listening to Liu Zhong's praise, Yin Lihua couldn't help laughing, and subconsciously looked at Liu Xiu.

Liu Zhong also looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty should take more Yin nobles out of the palace in the future." ”

"Ah Zhong said it easily, but how can it be so easy?"

Liu Xiu shook his head helplessly.

As they spoke, they all went into the house together.

In the hall of the house, everyone sat down one after another.

Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua are in the center, and Liu She and Liu Zhong are on the left and on the right.

As for Li Jian and other county officials, there were no seats for them in the hall, and everyone could only stand in the courtyard outside.

Liu She said with a smile: "In the past, Wang Mang was the trouble of Nanyang, and later there was Deng Feng for the disaster of Nanyang, Nanyang was dilapidated, and the people were not happy, and now Nanyang has been taken care of by the Son of Heaven, which can be described as a new look!" ”

Liu Xiu glanced at Liu She, who was wearing a high hat for himself, and said quietly: "When I entered Ye County, a group of people stopped the honor guard. ”

Liu She's and Liu Zhong's faces changed, and the former frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, who is so bold as to dare to stop the honor guard of the Son of Heaven?"

Wechen will definitely punish him severely! ”

Liu Xiu said slowly: "The person who came claimed to be surnamed Wang Mingben. ”

As he spoke, Liu Xiu picked up the teacup and took a slow sip of tea.

Hearing Wang Ben's name, Liu She and Liu Zhong's faces were shocked.

Liu Zhong frowned and looked at his father who was sitting opposite him.

Liu She's eyes rolled and said, "Be bold and make a fool of the people!" Your Majesty rest assured, Weichen will definitely punish this thief severely......" Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Liu Xiu put down the teacup, turned his head to look at Liu She, and said: "Wang Ben blocked the guard of honor in order to sue the emperor, who is the person he wants to sue Wang Kezhi of Surabaya?" ”

"This ...... This ...... is the king of Surabaya! ”

Liu Xiu's tone was flat, there were no obvious ups and downs, and he said slowly: "Wang Ben said that the king of Surabaya encroached on his family's 100 acres of fertile land, I don't know, but there is such a thing?" ”

"This ...... This is a bunch of nonsense! ”

Liu She got up, knelt on his knees, and said: "Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and governs the world with benevolence and virtue.

Your Majesty, please be clear! ”

Liu Xiu looked at Liu She, who was kneeling on the ground, and was silent for a while, he waved his hand and said, "King Surabaya, please get up." ”

Then, he looked at Xuying beside him and said, "Bring Li County Commander and Wang Ben in." ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Xuying said yes and walked out quickly.

Liu She and Liu Zhong glanced at each other, and their faces were a little unnatural.

It didn't take long for Xu Ying to bring Li Jian and Wang Ben into the hall together.

When the two men entered, they both knelt on their knees, bowed their heads forward, and said, "Your Majesty! ”

Liu Xiu ignored Li Jian, looked at Wang Ben below, and asked, "Wang Ben, you said that the king of Surabaya has encroached on your Wang family's land. ”

"Exactly!"

Wang Ben's body trembled a little, but his voice was quite loud.

"Nonsense!"

Liu She shouted angrily at Wang Ben: "The fields in the north of the county were bought by this king with money!" ”

Wang Ben knew in his heart that whether he could keep the 100 acres of land depended on his current performance.

He said: "The grass people don't plan to sell the land, so how can the king of Surabaya buy the land?" ”

Liu She was about to speak, Wang Ben continued: "Now the good fields (good fields) in Nanyang cost 5,000 yuan per mu, and the king of Surabaya is only willing to pay 1,500 yuan per mu. ”

"5,000 yuan per mu of land, why don't you rob it!"

Liu She's face turned red with anger, and he said angrily: "1,500 yuan per mu of land, this is a high price in all counties and counties, and you have to sell 5,000 yuan per mu of land, which is simply sitting on the ground and raising the price, shameless!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Ben was also annoyed, and said-for-tat: "If the king of Surabaya thinks that the grass people's land is too expensive, he can not buy it, but he can't forcibly take the land away from the grass people!" ”

"That's not your Wang Ben's land at all, but Cai Yi Cai Gong's land!"

"Cai Gong and his family have already moved to other counties, and before leaving, they sold the fields to the grass people, and the grass people have land deeds!"

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

As he spoke, Wang Ben reached into his arms, took out a yellowed parchment roll, and respectfully handed it to Liu Xiu.

Xu Ying stepped forward, took the parchment roll, unfolded it, turned it over and over to look at it, there was no abnormality, and then placed it in front of Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu picked it up expressionlessly, and looked at it carefully, this was indeed a title deed, and it was also stamped with the official seals of the state, county, and county governments.

He had already understood the general reason of the matter, the 100 acres of fertile land was not Wang Ben's original thing, but Wang Ben bought it from a person named Cai Yi.

Obviously, Liu She also knew about it.

He planned to ask Wang Ben to resell the land to him, his bid was 1,500 yuan per mu, and Wang Ben's asking price was 5,000 yuan per mu.

Seeing Wang Ben take out the title deed, Liu She swallowed his saliva and said loudly: "This title deed can't be counted!" ”

"The king of Surabaya suspects that the grass people's land deeds are fake?"

"This land deed is stamped with the seal of the previous dynasty, the reckless thief is dead, and now it is the world of the Han Dynasty, and the land deed of the previous dynasty can't be counted!"

Liu She said loudly.

Hearing this, the faces of everyone present changed, including Liu Xiu.
