Lan Haitang's expression changed and he said seriously: "Manager Liu, I believe you are aware of the seriousness of this matter."
"If you tell the truth now, I can still let you go mercilessly."
However, after listening to this, Manager Liu didn't take it seriously.
After all, he and Lan Haitang have been in love for many years, and I believe Lan Haitang will not do anything to him.
As if he didn't hear what Lan Haitang said, Manager Liu wiped away the tears that didn't exist and started howling again: "Miss, what's wrong with me, Old Liu? I'm such a person..."
When Hu Changan saw this, he sighed deeply.
It's not okay to be too soft-hearted about this kind of thing.
Historically, the reason why Lan Yu was seriously investigated by Zhu Yuanzhang was that, in addition to his being too unruly and unruly in his later period, another very important reason was that Lan Yu allowed his subordinates to occupy farmland and oppress the people.
It is said that the cause of Lan Yu's case was that Lan Yu's cousin took a fancy to a large piece of farmland in the suburbs of Beijing and wanted to buy it.
As the owner of the land, he was naturally unwilling to sell this fertile land to Lan Yu's cousin.
If you work diligently and guard the ground, you can get a big harvest every day, isn't it good?
If you sell the land at once, your future life will not be secure. Only a fool would do such a thing.
However, the land owner's refusal angered Lan Yu's cousin.
In order to seize the land, he directly relied on Lan Yu's reputation to beat up the owner of the field, directly took the land by force, and put the land under his own name.
Naturally, the owner of the field was not happy to lose his wife and soldiers, so he petitioned many times and finally alerted the imperial censor and reported the matter to Zhu Yuanzhang!
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was naturally furious.
How dare a big family bully the common people right under their noses?!
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the Jin Yiwei to conduct a thorough investigation of Lan Yu's mansion and Lan Yu all night long.
This search kicked off the blue jade case during the Hongwu period.
If Lan Haitang had not followed this clue to investigate everyone in the Lan family this time, there would be no guarantee that the incident would come to light in the future and Zhu Yuanzhang would be furious.
Currently, Hu Changan still has a good impression of Lan Haitang. Of course, he doesn't want the Lan family to end up with everyone being slaughtered like in history.
However, after all, it is not convenient for Hu Changan to interfere in other people's housework.
So Hu Changan had no choice but to drink water to suppress all the emotions in his heart, and quietly watched the development of the situation.
Fortunately, Lan Haitang still knows the pros and cons in the face of major issues of right and wrong.
Although she is a woman, she will not be hindered by feelings.
Lan Haitang couldn't bear to close his eyes and ordered: "Someone, pull Manager Liu down and beat him! If he doesn't explain, he will keep beating him!"
What!
Manager Liu couldn't help being shocked.
Could the lady be serious?
He knew when he hit the board, it was specially used by the Lan Mansion to punish servants who had made mistakes.
This board is incredible. If you knock down the thick and heavy board, most people will shed their skin even if they don't die.
Basically, as long as a person receives twenty blows, he will die, and it is common to faint from the pain.
Thirty boards up, that's the rhythm of killing people.
Miss, are you going to be cruel?!
Manager Liu immediately became anxious and shouted quickly, trying to use old feelings to win over Lan Haitang's heart: "Miss, how can you treat this old slave like this? This old slave has grown up with you, and there is hard work without merit.
..."
However, in the face of life and death matters, Lan Haitang did not show mercy after all.
Lan Haitang just looked away, took a sip of tea, and said to Hu Chang'an: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hu, for making you laugh. The slave's hands and feet are not clean, and it's because I, the person in charge, can't supervise him well."
Hu Changan also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Fortunately, as long as we strictly manage things from now on, there may be room for improvement.
As Manager Liu shouted, two tough men dragged Manager Liu out.
After a while, a dull knocking sound came from outside the hospital.
Manager Liu was not a tough guy either. Just after the third blow, Manager Liu's wailing voice came from outside the hospital: "Miss, Miss, stop hitting me, I'm going to do it!"
After hearing this, Lan Haitang waved his hands slightly to the left and right.
After a while, Manager Liu was brought back to the hall with runny nose and tears.
At this time, Manager Liu's hair was disheveled and his clothes were messy. How could he still be as impressive as before?
Seeing Lan Haitang, Manager Liu quickly took a few steps and knelt at Lan Haitang's feet, saying repeatedly: "Miss, I'm sorry for you!"
"The occupation of fertile farmland was done by my young cousin, Lan Ling, who asked me to do it!"
"Young Master Cousin spent some extra money in the casino in the capital a few days ago, and his money was tight, so he ordered me to occupy more land. Please forgive me, Miss!"
After hearing this, Lan Haitang couldn't help but feel her heart sink.
Sure enough it was him!
Lan Haitang took a sip of tea and ordered someone to drag Manager Liu down. He looked at Hu Chang'an with a wry smile and said, "Don't make the family scandal public and make Brother Hu laugh."
"But Brother Hu is the person in charge of this Li A system reform after all. This matter has something to do with you, so I will tell you."
"This Lan Ling is my cousin. He has not learned well since he was a child. He takes advantage of the power of the Lan family to do random things. He teases chickens and dogs all day long, causing trouble for everyone."
"But after all, he is my uncle's only son. My uncle died on the battlefield to save my father."
"So my father dotes on my cousin very much, even to the point of doting on him sometimes."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to manage this matter."
"But if we don't do this, I'm afraid it will lead to a big mistake one day!"
Lan Haitang sighed silently, looking a little distressed.
Seeing that the beauty was so melancholy, Hu Changan felt the same way. He couldn't help but leaned over and hugged Lan Haitang's shoulders, saying: "Miss Haitang, don't worry, let's find a solution together. There are always more solutions than difficulties, and we will definitely solve it when the time comes.
This problem is solved!”
Hu Changan's move is okay in modern times, but it was a bit abrupt in ancient times.
However, Lan Haitang was stunned for a moment and accepted the hug obediently.
As a woman, it is indeed very tiring for her to support this huge Lan family.
Now that she had someone to share some of the burden with and talk to, she couldn't help but feel more relaxed.
Hu Changan only hugged her for a short while and then let go of Lan Haitang's shoulders.
Seeing that warm and strong arm leave her, Lan Haitang couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Alas, I don’t know which wonderful person will be lucky enough to marry Mr. Hu.
After calming down, Lan Haitang suddenly thought of something and turned to Hu Chang'an and said: "Master Hu, my father was ordered to conquer Yunnan before, and he should be back soon in the next few days."
"Why don't you wait in Beijing for a few more days? Maybe you can work with me to persuade my father to return the fields our Lan family has seized to the people!"
