"It was sent from the kitchen." Wen Ranran innocently spread her hands, "I think of my husband's kindness and tease the rabbit every day, and I can't bear to eat it. But it is already cooked. It would be a pity to throw it away and bury it."
Xia Lishuang stuffed the white radish into Jiang Tang's arms and turned around.
"Master, do you still want to buy it?" Jiang Tang stood there helplessly, holding the radish and green vegetables.
"Buy it! I love eating it!" Wen Ranran confessed and quickly chased after Xia Lishuang, "My husband, don't be sad. I will catch the murderer of Xiao Baibai for you when you get back! Otherwise, I will go to the mountain and catch two more for you.
Only?"
Because the rabbit is dead.
Xia Lishuang was not in a good mood.
Wen Ranran lamented over and over again: Where did this prince of the county come from to become a Bodhisattva? This is such a shock. It's really heartbreaking.
"Prefect Jiang, the seven-day deadline has expired. Has the situation of the land been fully investigated?" Xia Lishuang asked, with no smile on her face, like a soul-seeking ghost without emotion.
Governor Jiang was obviously prepared this time, and he was very confident when he looked at him.
"Your Majesty, we have found out everything."
With that said, he handed over a new book.
Jiang Tang then flipped through it for a while and wanted to give it to Xia Lishuang. Xia Lishuang glanced sideways and the book fell into Wen Ranran's hands.
As Wen Ranran watched, the prefect said, "After checking the land this time, we found out that hundreds of thousands of acres of land had been transferred. All the villages had concealed it and failed to report it. As a result, there was a huge discrepancy in the registers. The lower official had already
Those who have neglected their duties will be punished and reported truthfully."
Xia Lishuang couldn't help but laugh when she heard him throwing blame around, "Prefect Jiang is really vigorous and resolute. He was able to thoroughly investigate the land in just seven days. For such efficiency, I have to give some praise to him."
"I would like to thank you, Lord."
"However," Wen Ranran interjected, "the seven-day period seems to be a bit short. The investigation is not very clear."
Jiang Boyu responded calmly, "If you are unclear about anything, please ask your concubine to explain."
"The information on the common people's accounts should be roughly correct, but how come the land beside the river in the mountains outside the city is not recorded?" Wen Ranran asked with a smile, "It is not found in the private fields, and it is not found in the official fields."
Jiang Boyu frowned and asked, "Beside the river in the mountains outside the city?"
Xia Lishuang laughed twice, "It seems that Governor Jiang doesn't go out of the city much on weekdays. I wonder if the original wasteland has been turned into cultivated land, and the people are allowed to cultivate it without paying taxes, causing the government treasury to lose nothing."
"Yes, that's what the prince said." Jiang Boyu responded, "I guess there aren't many wastelands. I'll ask someone to check it out now."
"We won't be able to wait for another seven days. Fortunately, the prince of this county is aware of Jiang Taishou's hard work and has already investigated it on behalf of Jiang Taishou."
After Xia Lishuang finished speaking, Jiang Tang took out a book from his arms.
Inside is a record of the location and area of the wasteland, as well as the suspected owner. It was the brothers from Feihu Village who ran out with the guards of the County Prince's Palace.
Jiang Boyu flipped through it quickly, his face turning blue.
I thought that when Xia Lishuang sent another person to check the land, he would only start with the village chiefs, and at most go to the fields to verify, but he didn't expect that he would check the wasteland directly!
And the ownership marks on the books indicate that 99% of them are the same person's name.
King’s banquet!
"Prefect Jiang, the extent of converting wasteland into cultivated land can be hundreds of thousands of acres! This tax evasion amounts to more than 10,000 taels every year!"
Xia Lishuang asked in a deep voice, and Jiang Boyu trembled all over.
"Prefect Jiang, why don't you call the head of the Wang family to discuss the land changes and tax payment together?"
Half an hour later, Wang Yan came over calmly.
Seeing that he was calm and composed, Wen Ranran guessed that he was going to grind for a while. She handed the book that was about to be turned over to Jiang Tang, and leaned tiredly on the pear tree table, holding her head and waiting to watch the show.
Wang Yan glanced at the unruly Wen Ranran, bowed and sat down calmly.
"Your Majesty, Wang already heard about the matter when he came and found out the situation, so he brought the perpetrators here!"
