For the small village of Dumb Ling, today is definitely a day worth recording in the history books.

The emperor is here!

The team was huge, and Tiqi with dazzling swords stood around, and the whole atmosphere was filled with a chilling atmosphere.

A large number of officials who had never seen him before followed behind him in fear.

The usually aloof county magistrate came over in a hurry. He was sweating profusely and panting. He knelt on the ground before he could relieve himself.

It's just that he is too fat and crawls like a pig.

Today he has the greatest preferential treatment, because everyone is waiting for him, including His Majesty the Emperor.

Everyone was gathered in the large open space to the east of the village.

The common people feel very fresh.

Usually they kneel and the officials stand.

It's the other way around today.

They were standing, while the officials were kneeling.

There is only one exception in the village, and that is the leader in the village.

In fact, he is not from Yabaling Village, but lives in the county. He only comes here every year to collect rent, and he is kneeling down now.

What exactly is this going to do?

"Eh? Isn't that Lao Litou?"

Someone with sharp eyes saw Old Man Li who was at a loss next to Guan Ning.

"I heard that several people came from the mansion today and took him away. Don't let him get into any big trouble, right?"

"No way. What does his causing trouble have to do with our Dumb Ridge? How can he attract His Majesty to come?"

The villagers discussed in low voices.

"Everyone is here."

"Replying to your Majesty, we are all here."

"Let the villagers get closer so they can hear what they are saying."

"yes."

When Zhou Tong went to make arrangements, the villagers got closer and gathered around.

"Who is Yu Hai."

Guan Ning asked directly.

Yu Yuan is what Old Man Li calls a rich man.

"Reporting to your majesty, the grass-roots people, the grass-roots people are Yu Hai."

Yu Hai, who was in his forties and was fat and dressed in fine clothes, responded hesitantly.

"How many acres of land do you have?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, the common people have thirty-one acres of land."

Such a response immediately caused a noise among the surrounding people.

Thirty-one acres?

Three hundred acres is less than that.

"Really there are only thirty-one acres of land?"

"real."

"Dishonest."

Guan Ning said coldly: "Here, chop off one of his fingers. If he doesn't tell the truth, he will keep chopping off. After chopping off his fingers, he will chop off his toes."

This opening scared everyone around him.

"I...I..."

Yu Hai's face turned pale with fright.

Tiqi and Tingqi had already come to hold him down as ordered.

Yu Hai was considered a figure in the local area, but he had never seen such a battle, and he was immediately frightened to death.

"I said, I said..."

He could no longer care about anything else and hurriedly said: "I have more than 530 acres of land. The exact number, I...I also forgot."

Yu Hai made the move directly, how could he dare to conceal it even a little bit?

Hearing these words, Zhou Qianlai officials all took a breath.

How many acres of land are there in the entire Yabaling Village? This means that he alone occupies all the land in the village.

County magistrate Zhang Bang lowered his head even lower.

"Where is the county magistrate?"

"My lord, my lord is here."

Guan Ning asked coldly: "Do you know about this situation?"

"Your Majesty..."

In the harsh winter weather, Zhang Bang was sweating profusely. He was running in a hurry just now, but more importantly he was scared.

He already had a rough idea of ​​the way here, and he couldn't make up a reason even if he tried his best.

"explain."

"I...know a thing or two."

"Know a thing or two?"

Guan Ning laughed angrily.

Prefect Zhou Tong lowered his head and sighed, it was really embarrassing for him to have such an official.

"Take him down and kill him. Skin him, take some grass, and hang him at the gate of the city. Then he will kill the whole clan."

Guan Ning didn't bother to talk nonsense to him.

Everyone around him was trembling physically and mentally, and Zhao Nanxing was also shocked and confused.

Ever since Your Majesty encountered corruption in Yanzhou, it seems that he has been peeling off his skin and hiding in the grass since then.

But the death of this county magistrate is not a pity.

Without his support and promise, Yu Hai, a member of the Communist Party of China, would dare to be so bold?

One person can take over the whole village's fertile land.

But he only has thirty-one acres to his name!

This is simply worse than a robber!

The surrounding officials all turned pale. They had seen what it means to be angry when the emperor is angry!

Zhang Bang was already frightened.

Did he only say two sentences from beginning to end, and then he was skinned and stripped?

"Anyone involved in the case will be punished accordingly. If there are any omissions, Zhou Tong, you, should not be the governor."

"It's Your Majesty."

Zhou Tong was also frightened.

He is a governor, and even though he did not participate in such a big evil thing, he cannot avoid responsibility.

Your Majesty, this is giving him a chance.

"And him!"

Guan Ning gestured to Yu Hai.

"After checking clearly, the land will be returned to whoever owns it, and then the skin will be peeled off, the grass will be removed, and it will be hung at the gate of the city."

"yes!"

"It will be completed within three days. I will come back to investigate. If you don't understand it, it will not be them who peel the skin and remove the grass, but you!"

Guan Ning's cold voice spread around.

The officials of Mi Cang Mansion were so frightened that their legs became weak.

"Your Majesty, the common people are wrong, please have mercy on Your Majesty!"

Yu Yuanwai's psychological quality was actually better than that of the county magistrate. The latter was as limp as a dead pig on the ground, but he still had words to beg for mercy.

"Are you a grassroots person?"
