Chapter 171 Make the decision for the people?

"Even the "Prohibition on Human Trafficking" not long ago... is in name only. Although no one dares to blatantly harvest animals, the slave trade is still rampant."

Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Li Guangyuan continued: "In addition, due to some old events, the people in Jiangnan are also very resistant to the imperial decree... I am incompetent, and I hope the officials will forgive me."

Now that he had decided to completely switch to the official family, Li Guangyuan had no choice but to remain single. At that moment, the situation in Quanzhou and even Jiangnan was turned upside down.

Zhao Huan was not too surprised.

As the saying goes, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. This is an unbreakable truth since ancient times. Let alone the people in Jiangnan, even if the people in Bianjing City do not still find ways to benefit themselves, there will still be people in future generations spending money.

Do you need to live in low-rent housing to give gifts?

What Zhao Huan didn't expect was that these gentry in Quanzhou were so bold. Whether it was because they were too confident in the patriarchal clan or for other reasons, they dared to name their family's land in the name of their clansmen or even tenants.

After laughing, Zhao Huan called He Ji and whispered a few words before turning around and telling Li Guangyuan: "Li Qing, please go back with your concubine and your son-in-law, while there is nothing else to do these days."

Let’s get together more. After I go north, I’m afraid it will be a long time before we see each other again.”



"Ten years of cold weather are hard."

As the prefect of Quanzhou, Ji Ziming likes to talk about the five words "ten years of hardship". Every time he goes to court to ask questions, he always sighs like this, especially the last word "ah".

It was a sigh of relief.

"That's what the master said."

Xi Liangyou, the staff member who accompanied Ji Ziming, stroked his goatee and suppressed the nausea that made him want to vomit. He complimented him as usual: "If I hadn't lived in poverty for ten years, why would Ji Qingtian be here in Quanzhou?"

After finishing speaking, Xi Liangyou said cautiously: "By the way, sir, just now Mr. Chen sent someone to deliver a message, saying that he spent fifty guan on an iron nail at the shop opened by his uncle."

"Fifty strings?"

When Ji Ziming heard the figure of five hundred guan, he couldn't help curling his lips and said: "The official family is in Quanzhou City now. If he spends 50 guan on nails at this juncture, he is eating the heart of a leopard."

Are you brave, or are you specifically trying to get into trouble with me, the master?

Also, those are the finest nails made from meteorites from outer space, and the official family is still in Quanzhou, so he bought them for only fifty nails?"

Xi Liangyou said: "There's nothing we can do about that. After all, it's not Chen Yuanwai who is in the wrong this time. Fifty guan is not a lot."

"What's going on? If he hadn't been wronged, I would have made the decision for the people."

After finishing speaking, Ji Ziming picked up a small and exquisite teapot, brought the spout to his mouth, took a sip, and said to himself: "Compared with the previous tea soups, this tea is smoother.

It's a pity that there is no good tea in Quanzhou. If there is, sir, I will make some good tea and offer it to the officials while they are in Quanzhou. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"

After Ji Ziming lamented that there was no good tea in Quanzhou, it was a pity that he had missed a good opportunity to rise to prominence, and he would choose another place to serve as an official someday, etc., Xi Liangyou bowed and said: "Go back to Master, what about Chen?"

What Yuanwai is asking for is not a big deal, but something about his family's land."

After thinking about it in his heart, Xi Liangyou bowed again and said: "I heard that he had previously put fifty acres of farmland in the name of tenant Chen Er. Now that spring is about to begin, Chen Er has been dragging his feet.

He refused to pay the rent, saying that the fifty acres of farmland belonged to him and had nothing to do with Yuan Wai Chen. Therefore, Yuan Wai Chen took the original deed and sued the officials."

As soon as he heard this, Ji Ziming couldn't help but sighed and said: "Damn it, Chen Er, it's not a good thing! No wonder, sir, I often hear people say that the poor are rich and have a good conscience. Now it seems that it is really not the case.

Fake! This time, I will definitely uphold justice!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the grievance drum ringing outside the Yamen.

Ji Ziming snorted coldly, stood up, flicked his sleeves, and shouted: "Come here, come to the hall!"

"Sir, wait a minute!"

However, Xi Liangyou stepped forward to stop Ji Ziming and whispered: "Master, you cannot uphold justice this time!"

Without waiting for Ji Ziming to ask questions, Xi Liangyou whispered: "Master, you yourself said just now that the official family is still in Quanzhou City."

"Yep."

Ji Ziming nodded and asked: "Whether or not the official family is in Quanzhou City, what does it have to do with me making decisions for the people? I am acting in accordance with the "Song Xingtong", can something go wrong?"

Xi Liangyou said: "It is true that I judged the case according to the "Song Xingtong", but it is only correct. But now the opportunity to make Master Jian in the emperor's heart has slipped away!"

As soon as he heard the words "Jian is in the Emperor's heart", Ji Ziming was immediately startled and asked: "Jian is in the Emperor's heart?"

"That's right, it's Jane's chance in the emperor's heart."

Xi Liangyou nodded and said: "The officials once used the heads of Jin soldiers to build a temple in Bianjing because of the deaths and injuries of the people in Bianjing. They also issued the "Edict to Never Add Fu" and the "Order to Prohibit Human Trafficking." These things

Son, sir, you know everything, right?"

Ji Ziming snorted and said: "Sir, of course I know, but what does this have to do with me making decisions for the people..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Ziming suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Xi Liangyou and said, "You mean..."

"See you soon, Master!"

Xi Liangyou nodded and said in a low voice: "In any case, it is an indisputable fact that Chen Er has entrusted the fifty acres of land to Chen Er. Even in the government, the fifty acres of land belongs to Chen Er and not to Chen Er.

Mr. Chen is outside.

As for the deed between them, where is the guarantor for such a thing? It is one thing for the government to recognize it, but it is another matter not to recognize it——

Sir, you help Chen Er get back his 50 acres of land. He only spent fifty guan on buying a nail. But if you help Chen Er win these 50 acres of land, what will happen to the people of Quanzhou City in the future?

Just thinking about your kindness, who still remembers that the sky is three feet high?

The key is, once this matter reaches the ears of the officials, wouldn’t it be a good opportunity for you to rise to the top?”

Ji Ziming nodded, then suddenly shook his head and said: "That's not right. Mr. Chen spent money. Since I have accepted his money, sir, I have to let him handle the matter. Otherwise, wouldn't it be possible?"

A treacherous villain? If he breaks the rules, he will yell out again..."

Xi Liangyou chuckled and said: "Master, the money was collected by the shopkeeper of Liu's shop in the city, not you. If you really don't care, you can accidentally kill the unscrupulous gentry in the hall to vent the anger of the people.

Then I will go to the Taoist memorial hall to plead guilty."
