Chapter 1206： scam

When Fan Zijin entered the palace to complain, Xiaoting had already run back to Mu Yangling to report the whole process of the incident.

"I don't know who started the story, but he said that the county prince and his four sons destroyed the farmland of Dong's family and wanted to break with Lord Zuo Xiang." Xiaoting wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Xiao Xia nervously grabbed Mu Yangling's hand, "Is this too much trouble? Will Zuo Xiang..."

"No," Mu Yangling comforted her. Rong Xuan watched Fan Zijin grow up. As long as Rong Xuan didn't change, he wouldn't blame Fan Zijin. She turned her head and asked Xiaoting, "Are you sure it was the county king who asked the third young master to beat him up? Dong Mao?"

Xiaoting glanced carefully at the princess, and whispered: "This was too chaotic at the time, I heard from the guards that Young Master Biao ordered the beating first, and then the two sides stopped, and the County King ordered the third Young Master to beat Dong Mao. …”

Xiao Xia asked in astonishment, "Is the county king dizzy?"

Qi Haoran couldn't make him lose his mind, what else could make him dizzy? Mu Yangling firmly believed that there was a deep meaning in it, so she comforted Xiao Xia: "Don't worry, maybe there is something tricky in it, we just sit at ease, if there is something that even Zijin can't handle, it's useless for us to worry."

Having said that, Xiao Xia's heart was still on, and he deliberately made people watch the development of this matter.

So she was the first to know when things took a turn for the better.

Xiao Xia immediately dropped what she was doing and ran to Mu Yangling, Mu Yangling also widened his eyes, "So this matter has changed from Zijin destroying people's fields, breaking with Big Brother Rong to Big Brother Rong's righteous killing of relatives, and law enforcement has been done impartially. ?"

Xiao Xia nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, because the land belongs to the Lin'an county government, so the case is tried in the county government. Rong Xiangxian is there, and many people come to watch the fun."

Mu Yangling had a bad premonition in his heart, "Do you think Xiao An and the others will also run to join in the fun?"

"No way," Xiao Xia said unconfidently, "Didn't you take them into the palace?

Mu Yangling thought "Haha", can the palace stop those three stinky boys?

Rongxuan's actions were fast. He knew that the longer this matter dragged on, the more accidents would happen, so after catching Ji Guan, he sent it directly to the county government office.

The two parties involved in the armed fight, as long as they were not seriously injured, might die. One of them was sent to the Lin'an County Government Office.

Lin'an county magistrate almost cried.

As the magistrate of Guoxian County in the capital, he was quite aggrieved. Anyone who came out of the capital might have a higher official position than him. Rong Xiang personally came forward. Who knows who else is involved in this case?

He really wanted to shrink back and be the king, but it was impossible.

Mr. Zuo Xiang personally ordered a thorough investigation. This incident was too bad, and it was maddening to dare to fight in the outskirts of the capital.

This incident was a fight between nobles and civilians. The Prince of Anjun and others, who were also nobles, heroically took action to stop the fight, so Xiao An could "recover" and not appear in court.

But Dong Mao, the leader of the fight, was brought up.

The reason for everything must be explained. The nobles and the commoners can’t fight with each other, so why did they fight?

As soon as he was investigated, Dong Wulang set up a bureau to deceive the common people's fields and couldn't hide it, but Dong Mao was aggrieved, he really didn't know about it!

He cried: "Steward Ji said that some people were in a hurry to use money for the New Year, so it was very cheap to buy land at this time. It only cost two taels of silver per mu, so I asked him to buy it. As for how I bought it, I don't know."

Lin'an County Magistrate took a shot of the gavel, looked at the farmer who was kneeling on the side, and asked, "Is what he said true? You sold the land to Dong Wulang for 22 taels per mu?"

The face of the villagers changed drastically, and they kowtowed and shouted: "My lord is wrong, our land is in the suburbs of Beijing, and the last time it was a middle field, how could we sell it for two taels of silver? At that time, Steward Ji only said that he would use our land deed for half a year. After returning it, who knows that he will not return the land deed after he takes it away, and after we plant the land according to the regulations, we will all become tenants of his Dong family.”

"Mr. Ji said what did you do with your land deed? How did you agree?" The Lin'an County magistrate's face sank, and he already had some guesses about the incident. Zhu slapped Jing Tangmu fiercely and asked, "It's not too soon to call me in!"

Zhuang Humen was startled, hesitated for a while, and finally lowered his head and said, "He said he would use it to fool his master, but he lied to his master that land in the suburbs of Beijing could be bought for only two taels of silver, and a cent or two. Give it to us, and then take our land deed and show it to his master, then return the land deed to us, we will pretend to be his tenants, and get free seeds, farm tools and cattle every year, and wait until the harvest. When the time comes, you only need to hand in part of the grain, and then the steward Ji will tell the above that the fields are barren and the weather is unfavorable, so the harvest will be bad."

Dong Wulang, who was lying on the stretcher, widened his eyes, looked at Steward Ji angrily, and shouted: "Dog slave, how dare you lie to me!"

Zhuang Hu said again: "Some people near our village did this, and the land deed was returned after half a year, so that's why we promised to sell the land for two taels of silver, but who knows that this time the land deed has not been returned, After we planted the land, we really became the tenants of the Dong family. Your lord, we are wronged! It was obviously that Dong Wulang and Steward Ji conspired to deceive us. , and also said that their uncle is Lord Zuo Xiang, it is useless to sue the emperor."

Rong Xuan, who was sitting in the back hall, took a sip of tea after hearing this, and sneered: "This person's mouth is quite agile."

The steward of the Rong Mansion, Director Bai, lowered his head and dared not speak.

Rong Xuan said: "It's hard for you, you can find such a person to play in such a short time."

Director Bai whispered: "It's not even a show, most of what he said is the truth."

"It's a pity that it's not very useful. The Rong family can't find it out. After all, it's just hurting the Dong family. You go and tell the Lin'an county magistrate. You can judge how you want to be. He can't find out or get any evidence, so I don't have to force him, but next time there are rumors that the truth is forcing the good people, I won't be so easy to talk about."

Chief White was busy responding.

And the people outside have long been in a commotion because of Zhuang Hu's words. It turns out that there is such a deception method, but this is the first time I have seen it.

And everyone looked at Dong Mao, who was lying in the hall, and suddenly felt that he was not that hateful anymore. Although he was a dude, who would call the other party a fool?

Xiao An and others who sneaked out to watch Dong Wulang looked at Dong Wulang with sympathy.

Hutou said with a sense of superiority: "See if you still say I'm stupid, I still know common sense, but he doesn't even know basic common sense?"
