This sudden up and down change, Li Tianluo is not the only one who is uncomfortable, but the men in charge of Peng Hai and other thirteen customers all only feel up and down in their hearts. The good thing is that Du Shiyi is really as upright and selfless as rumored, and the previous questions about Li Tianluo clearly expressed his attitude towards his own people; What was surprising was that Fan Yuanjun, who had just arrived, seemed to be quite friendly with the Li Jialuo family, which was a local tycoon in Chengdu; And as soon as that Guo Yushi came, he clearly stated that he came for the dispute between the host and the guest, as if he was helping them. But in this way, no one can play the package ticket in the final result.

So, Du Shiyi asked if there was any more pleading, and several people looked at each other for a while, and Zhou Jia whispered to Peng Hai: "Uncle Peng, it is related to the livelihood of dozens of our people, do you still have a way?" ”

"I've even used it to the death, what else is there to say now? We are no better than the Li family, some people can forge the title deed, have the money to buy off the villagers, and have the right to have access to those high-ranking officials. All we have is the strength to open the mountain and farm and pick tea, and some are just a conscience, and nothing else. ”

Speaking of this, Peng Hai smiled bitterly, and immediately shook his head and said, "Back to Ming Gong, I have already said what I should say, and there is nothing else to say." ”

Li Tianluo's eyes couldn't help but flicker when he saw these customers say this. However, he had already taken out all the human and material evidence, and it was useless to say anything now, so he shook his head and said, "I have already finished my case, and there is nothing to say." I implore Ming Gong to judge impartially, and don't chill the hearts of thousands of people in the four realms of Chengdu City."

This zuihou sentence is obviously a button, however, where would Du Shiyi fall into such a bad act as him, he said lightly without thinking about it: "Although the Li family is the leading rich family in Chengdu, the population of the clan plus the domestic slave tenants, I am afraid that there are only hundreds of people, and it seems that it does not represent the thousands of people in the four realms of Chengdu, and I am afraid that the people of Zhangjia Village around this area do not want to be represented by you."

Speaking of this, he ignored Li Tianluo's expression that suddenly turned into pig liver, stood up again, and slowly took a few steps forward: "Although I have just arrived in Chengdu, I have already walked around Sixiang in person, and I have some understanding of the general situation of each township and village. For example, the villagers of Zhangjia Village are residents, serve in service every year, pay two taxes, and be diligent and diligent in keeping to themselves, so they are naturally a model for the people of the Tang Dynasty. ”

As the chief official praised the people, even if these words were only beneficial and not costly, the villagers were quite comfortable to listen to. Du Shiyi only paused for a moment before changing the conversation: "Although the customer was originally a fugitive, the sage has already made a clear order, but there are people who have re-registered for naturalization, and they are not to blame in the past, and Peng Hai and others have not committed crimes in the countryside before, so they are also people under the jurisdiction of Chengdu County." Before the Law, there was no distinction between master and object, only right and wrong

Fan Chengming squinted his eyes and listened to Du Shiyi say this, and suddenly interjected and asked, "Then what does Du Jiulang think is right or wrong?" ”

Although it was not in the public court, this was a public trial in front of the public, and Fan Chengming wanted to rely on the old man to call himself Du Jiulang, and Du Shiyi was naturally unhappy. He bowed his head slightly to indicate that he had heard Fan Chengming's question, but suddenly looked at Li Tianluo, who was trying his best to keep his composure, and said with a smile: "It's just that the land you are fighting for is neither the Yongye Tiankou Division, nor the acres left over from the previous dynasty, how can I remember that these 800 acres of mountainous land were not in the fields outside the country when the land was expanded a few months ago?" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Fan Chengming was stunned for a moment, but even thirteen customers such as Li Tianluo and Peng Hai were all stunned for a while. In the eyes of the Son of Heaven, it is certainly a good thing that is conducive to the filling of the treasury, but for the people of the state and county governments and even the lower classes, it is a restless business. No one wants to pay more taxes, both hosts and guests.

Peng Hai and others thought that after five years of tax exemption and forced labor, they had a large number of people and a small number of acres of tea gardens, but it was impossible for the imperial court to grant additional land, so although they had to register their household registration under the urging of the servants, they hid these acres of land and paid less land tax. And Li Tianluo secretly scolded, not to mention that this acre of land was originally obtained by him, even if it was his own private land, he weishenme wanted to take the land that did not pay taxes to naturalize, and give himself an extra 800 acres of land tax for no reason?

Seeing that the surroundings were silent, Du Shiyi sneered and said: "Previously, the sage issued an edict, and the fugitive households in each state and county must be renaturalized by the state and county governments, otherwise they will migrate to the border land, and the acres of land outside the nationality must also be registered, if it is concealed, it is the same crime, and these acres should have no official envoys, although I was picking up the legacy at that time, and all the edicts that should be issued are from the hand, but it is inevitable that there will be omissions." Am I not mistakenly remembering the edict of the saints? If there are mistakes, omissions and negligence, please correct Fan Zhijun? ”

Fan Chengming didn't expect Du Shiyi to turn upside down, but in the end, he struck such a sharp blow. Seeing his fierce words, he wanted to open his mouth, and when he saw Guo Quan on the other side looking at him with a smile, he suddenly realized that Guo Quan was Yu Wenrong's confidant, maybe he didn't come here today to wait to be the master of the people, but to use this case to set an example for Yu Wenrong, and add a strong touch to Yu Wenrong's ascent road, he couldn't help but regret that he didn't make all the preparations to stir up this troubled water. So, he thought about it again and again, but in the end he didn't open his mouth.

And Fan Chengming bowed his head and was silent, and Li Tianluo felt very different in his eyes. Seeing Du Shiyi's sharp eyes looking directly at him, even though he had lived most of his life and endured a lot of winds and waves, he didn't dare to think that Du Shiyi was just lying and intimidating, you know, it was indeed written in the previous book, but the government may not be so strict in its implementation. But Du Shiyi clearly intends to do things according to the rules at this moment, why should he die to the end? At this point, he had to choose the lesser of two evils and put things on the table first

He gestured to a servant not far from his side, and the servant was also disturbed by this scene, and at this time, he received a look from the master and immediately came forward, crying and saying with a sad face: "Master, I just remembered that it seemed that San Langjun transferred Tian to these mud legs at the beginning. San Langjun said that horizontal and vertical are worthless mountain ......"

"What did you say?" Li Tianluo pretended to be angry and furious, seeing that the servant retreated several steps in a panic and knelt down silently, he shook his head and sighed deeply about the misfortune of the family, Zuihou turned around and saluted deeply with shame on his face, "Ming Gong, it is the Li family's unfortunate son who is so rebellious, so that he sued the labor up and down...... These 800 acres of mountainous land were actually sold by dogs at a low price."

"Despicable and shameless"

Although Fan Chengming and Guo Quan were new, Du Shiyi did not speak, and was the first to stab the boy who bribed the villagers with this layer of window paper, and was still standing next to Du Shiyi's main seat in the grass pavilion. Although this voice is not loud, whether it is Fan Chengming, the head of the Luo family standing beside him, or even Guo Quan, everyone has a different face, but they all have the same perception in their hearts.

In front of everyone's eyes, they said that they would change their words, this Li Tianluo is really thick-skinned

Du Shiyi had long expected that Li Tianluo would inevitably retreat, so he turned around and looked at Peng Hai and the others.

Some of these peasant men were biting their lips at this time, some of their faces were flushed, and some of them were full of sadness, while Peng Hai, who was the leader, smiled bitterly, obviously not expecting such a result. He staggered to his feet, broke free from those who wanted to hold him, stumbled to Du Shiyi, and then knelt down, but said miserably: "Ming Gong is above, I have not reported the 800 acres of foreign land to the government for a while, if there is a deserved crime, it is all in my own body, and they don't know"

One is to change his words and prevaricate in front of the guilt, but the other is to take all the blame alone, Du Shiyi's heart is naturally like a mirror. Seeing that the most impulsive Housheng before was grabbed by someone, but he bit his lip and bled out, and the others didn't dare to look at this side again, he asked in a deep voice: "Do you know what the consequences of admitting it are?" ”

"If you should move to the frontier, you will move to the frontier, and if you should be on the board, you will be on the board, it's all my fault."

Seeing that Peng Hai was still saying this, Du Shiyi couldn't help but hahadaxiao, and after laughing, he said aloud: "Some people flinched and didn't admit it before they were guilty, and some people dared to act, who owned these 800 acres, and everyone heard it clearly?" ”

Speaking of which, Li Tianluo heard that what Du Shiyi said before was just a threat, and his face turned pale with anger, and the surrounding villagers also reacted for a while. After Chibi shouted and silenced again with that loud voice, Fan Chengming understood that Du Shiyi was not killing chickens and monkeys, but really using this method to determine the ownership of Ming Tianmu, he immediately lowered his face and said: "Even if it is to judge the case, Du Jiulang actually acts like this, and deceives people with the imperial court, isn't it child's play?" ”

"Who said I was just a liar?"

Staring at the dozen or so people who were crying with joy and hugging together to celebrate the preservation of the tea garden, Du Shiyi said slowly: "First, although Peng Hai did not report it at first, now he has taken the initiative to admit it, and the crime will be reduced by one degree. Second, if this foreign land is not declared, it will be no official, not to mention that this case has shaken Chengdu City and even all parts of Shu County, so it is naturally implemented in accordance with the bixia system.

However, in order to show the compassion of the people, the 800 acres of mountainous land are still cultivated by the thirteen customers of Penghai, and then the tea harvested every year will be purchased by the Chengdu County Party at the current price of this year from next year, and the annual price will be negotiated again after rì, so as not to damage the interests of the people. After the expiration of the five-year period of exemption from servitude, the tea plantations will still belong to these customers, and they will only have to pay the due servitude and local tax every year. Otherwise, the penalty is doubled. ”

After saying these words in one breath, Du Shiyi turned around and said to Guo Quan with a smile: "Does Guo Yushi think it is fair for me to deal with it like this?" ”

Although Du Shiyi had invited herself to help a long time ago, Guo Quan saw the changes in today's scene, and praised it in his heart, and smiled without thinking about it at the moment: "Nature is extremely fair, the upper body is heavenly heart, and the lower is sympathetic to the people." I will immediately play Yuwen Zhongcheng in this matter, and ask him to show the saint on behalf of the saint The saint has always been sympathetic to the people, and I will definitely agree with Du Mingfu's disposition. ”

As soon as Guo Quan's words fell, he saw Li Tianluo fall down when he looked up to the sky, and he was so angry that he fainted

Who keeps you from being scared?

It was only at this time that Du Shiyi arched his hand to Fan Chengming with a smile and said: "Fan Envoy Jun Mingjian, when I appeased Chang'an from Wang Dayin, Wang Dayin returned with a feather, and there was a saying among the people for a while, if the official is not the master of the people, it is better to go home and sell potatoes, I don't know if Fan Envoy Jun has ever heard of it?" ”

Before Fan Chengming could answer, Peng Hai and the others woke up, and most of them burst into tears for a while. Especially Peng Hai, who thought that he would be unfortunate this time, even slammed his head at Du Shiyi three times in a row, and then cried with joy.
