Chapter 1663

Huang Lin failed to carry the blow of the old bureaucrat Wang Shuyue and obediently explained his acceptance of the offer.

Five hundred mu of land covers almost 90% of that village.

"Huang Lin came out of Wangdian village. After passing the examination, the scholar moved to the city. More than 500 mu of land is only one of the benefits. He is also registered in a car and horse shop and can record some money every year."

Don't be shy!

Zhu Zhanji looked at it. To know that famous cars and horse shops are the business of literati and merchants.

Fang Xing explained, "you have to know that there is an endless stream of investment and dedication. Those qualified scholars will be picky. After all, they can't attract too many people's eyes and ears. Therefore, Wangdian village is close to the water, which is beneficial to both sides."

"But he transferred the tax to Huang Lin's house."

Zhu Zhanji abhors such means. It is clear that scholars are competing with the state for taxes. Which generation has this reason?

This is the implicit annexation of land, and as long as they have experienced several famine, those farmers who can't afford to pay the rent naturally can only give the land to these scholars, and then continue to plant their own land at a lower price than the tax, just changing the owner who pays the tax.

But now how to deal with Huang Lin has become a problem. If it is dealt with according to the received investment, Zhou Yi's death can only be attributed to the villagers who did it.

This case has all the representativeness of land investment, so Zhu Zhanji is also very cautious.

He summoned the six books of history of Jinling to discuss. The final question was whether the villagers who did it belonged to Huang Lin or natural persons.

If we admit that they are the tenants of huanglin, we will recognize the legitimacy of the contribution.

It's hard to make a choice!

Monk Zhu Zhanji is worried and angry!

Fang Xing accompanied Mo Chou and made toys by the way.

There are several small wooden animals on the ground. Fang Xing is polishing them with fine sandpaper and rubbing them with his fingers from time to time. Mo Chou sat beside him, caressing his stomach and smiling at him.

Fang Xing polished a pony, then put it on the ground and shook it. He said to Mo Chou, "when I make another saddle, let the child sit on it and shake it. It must be beautiful."

Mo Chou looked at Fang Xing's side face, suddenly filled with tenderness in his heart, and then touched his stomach and said, "your father likes you! He has made a lot of fun for you."

Fang Xing said, "the child should pay more attention in the future. At that time, he will be sent to the academy from time to time... It's just unnecessary. Then you can go to the academy and send a message to Fei Shi. Someone will escort your mother and son to the capital. If you don't feel at ease, let someone go to the capital to report to me, and I'll send a servant to pick you up."

Mo Chou's eyes became more worried. Fang woke up and said with a smile, "I said, it's up to you. You can find another place to live in the capital. It's just convenient for me to see your mother and son. Otherwise, how can I rest assured?"

Mo Chou droops her eyes and her eyelashes tremble slightly. She doesn't want to go to Peiping, but she can't decide the future of the child as a woman

"Don't worry, it's cold in Peiping, but it's colder in Jinling, and it's cold in the bones."

……

The mood of pregnant women should not fluctuate too much. After soothing Mo Chou, Fang woke up to Zhu Zhanji, but saw a depressed prince.

"What are you worried about?"

Fang Xing's hands were doing too much work, which meant that they were going to blister. He wrapped ice cubes in a cloth and applied them cold.

Zhu Zhanji said, "it's a headache whether Huang Lin can also be blamed."

Fang woke up and knew Zhu Zhanji's concerns. He moved his wrist and said, "the wind of investment and dedication has long been released. Don't Huang Lin know?"

As soon as Zhu Zhanji patted the table, he suddenly realized: "yes, Huang Lin made a mistake first and delayed with luck. Most of the farmers will go to ask him for instructions after they know the news, so what did he do?"

Fang Xing said, "if he abides by the law, he naturally persuades those people to take back their land, but he doesn't, and... What's the confidence of those farmers to dare to do it?"

Fang Xing's hint was very direct. Zhu Zhanji nodded and asked someone to send a message to the Ministry of punishment.

……

Huang Lin felt very unlucky. He collected contributions after the mid lift. After the Hongwu Dynasty, it gradually spread and has become a hidden rule.

But he thought he was unlucky. The tenant farmers below killed the petty officials who came to check, and he was regarded as a model.

What's the crime of receiving donations?

Huang Lin thought for a long time in prison, but he was not in a hurry.

How many people receive donations in Daming?

If it is important, how will those involved in this matter panic?

And these people can be called the backbone of Daming - gentry and officials!

After thinking clearly, Huang Lin appeared unhurried when he passed the hall again.

Fang Xing came as a representative to attend the trial, which is to express his concern for the dead Zhou Yi.

"Bring a witness."

Wang Shuyue personally tried the case, naturally not like those officials.

Huang Lin was a little stunned. He didn't know what the so-called witness meant. When he saw the more than ten people brought in, he couldn't help being stunned.

The subsequent questions directly let Huang Lin's heart fall to the bottom of the valley.

"Are you sure you asked Huang Lin?"

"Yes, my Lord, the little one went to the Huang's house at that time. The housekeeper listened to the little one and said to ask Master Huang for instructions. When he came back, he said that master Huang said it. It was just a gust of wind. It was shown to people. Let the little ones go back and plant the land at ease. Don't take care of it."

"Later, some people from the government went to the village to ask questions. The young people were afraid and went to the Huang family again. The housekeeper still asked master Huang for instructions and said don't worry. No one dared to move..."

The old man who spoke was an old man in the village. He pointed to Huang Lin and said, "finally, he said... If there are people from the government, just fight out. Master Huang will naturally speak in the Yamen."

"Students wronged..."

Huang Lin quickly arched his hands and said, "Sir, these people collude to slander the students. Please be aware."

The difficulty lies in the evidence, but Wang Shuyue didn't look sad at all. He sneered and said, "brought his housekeeper."

Huang Lin trembled and turned back to see his housekeeper escorted in. He suddenly looked pale.

There were no accidents, and there were no tough guys.

When Wang Shuyue asked, the housekeeper of the Huang family quickly confirmed the villagers' words, and then began

"My Lord, last year Huang Lin asked Xiao to go to widow Li's house to threaten her, saying that she would not send her daughter to Huang's house again, and then someone would smash her stall..."

"And the year before last, Huang Lin asked Xiao..."

“……”

Wang Shuyue blinked. It was not that he had little knowledge, but that he heard the criminal record of a "national and Korean elite" in front of Fang Xingxing, the founder of science.

Huang Lin listens to these "Tucao" faces and changes, and his sweat drips down his face. He brushes his face with his sleeve and suck his nose. He says, "my Lord, the students make complaints about the students."

Wang Shuyue just wanted to cover his face to show his shameless admiration for Huang Lin.

Fang Xing, as Zhu Zhanji's representative, came to attend. It was time to speak.

"Lord Wang, the evidence is easy to find. Just check where the money goes."

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Sir, those Qian huanglin were collected in the dark cabinet in the south wall of the study and covered with a painting and calligraphy."

When Fang woke up, he was happy and said to Huang Lin, "what else can Mr. Huang say?"

Huang Lin said sweating, "adults, students... Students..."

As long as you find the dark cabinet, this is hard evidence!

Wang Shuyue shouted, "take him!"

Then there was no suspense. Wang Shuyue immediately identified Huang Lin as defying the law and instigating farmers to kill.

This charge

Fang woke up and told Zhu Zhanji about the trial. Zhu Zhanji was very helpless.

"Why are these people so bold?"

"Because they feel that they are human beings and people outside the law, they are naturally bold."

Zhu Zhanji frowned and said, "this wind can't last long. If it is allowed to spread, I'm afraid Daming will begin to erode after decades."

Fang Xing said in his heart: isn't it? The national power of the Ming Dynasty continued to decline with the continuous expansion and growth of this group. By the time emperor Chongzhen arrived, he was terminally ill and irreparable.
