Daming: Huddled in the Tongzhou Yamen in Chapter 143 of Dangzhi County, Beiping Text Volume Latest URL: "Okay, it's really shocking!"
Zhu Di's face was full of resentment, "Let's just say that Beiping Mansion is also the capital of the former Yuan Dynasty. How come the people under the rule are so poor?
It turns out that these thieves hid the land.
My father ordered all prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty to measure the land and register each one.
As a result, these thieves owned a large amount of land, but they hid most of it, refused to pay any taxes, and allowed other taxes to be imposed on the common people.
When those taxes crush the common people, in the end those thieves will stand up and take away the fields of those common people...
With such sinister intentions, you can’t do anything to deceive the emperor!
It seems that it is not unfair to use "Da Gao" for these thieves!"
Yu Rentian, Zhao Jie and other officials' expressions changed slightly. In fact, they were all gentry.
In the hidden land, it is actually not uncommon among the gentry and gentry, but everyone understands it tacitly.
Even in last year's Guo Huan case, not many cases of hidden farmland were discovered.
And now, as the Yan Palace only purchased a mere 500 acres of dock land, it was actually revealed.
The Ming Dynasty is bound to usher in another bloody storm!
At this moment, even Deng Qiang, the deputy envoy of the Prosecution Department, felt a little heavy in his heart.
Pu Sanji reported again: "Your Highness, there are also reports from several stewards of the He family. The He family also sent money to the Tongzhou magistrate, the Tongzhi, the judge, and several officials yesterday..."
"Thieves deserve to die!"
Zhu Di's eyes were full of cold light.
"Zhu Liang, Li Wang!"
"Your Highness!"
"Send the order, after all the soldiers have finished their meals, set off quickly. We will raid the remaining three families of thieves before dawn and rescue the people they imprisoned."
"Here!"
……
Then, after resting for a while, everyone set off again.
This time, even if it’s already the second watch day.
But under the stimulation of the fields, money and food taken out by the He family, no one felt sleepy.
Even officials such as Yu Rentian and Deng Qiang were full of complicated thoughts and hoped that too many hidden acres would not be found in the remaining three gentry families.
However, the actions of these gentry made them all feel cold, they were so heartbroken!
With the experience of the He family, in order to capture the remaining three gentry families as quickly as possible, Zhu Di directly divided his troops this time.
He led 300 soldiers, Guo An and Zhu Fu, each with 350 soldiers. As for the Beiping government office, the chief envoy, the inspection envoy and other officials, they followed Zhu Di.
Fortunately, the four gentry families that can participate in the Zhangjiawan Pier are all gentry from nearby villages.
Therefore, before dawn, the other three families also followed in the footsteps of the He family.
However, it may be that Zhu Fu, Guo An and others were relatively small in number, and some gentry nurses wanted to resist with their knives, so many of them were killed.
The properties seized from these three families were not much different from those of the He family.
This shocked Guo An, Zhu Di and others even more.
Only four gentry families were investigated, and each family hid so many acres of land? How many acres of land were hidden in the entire Tongzhou, the entire Beiping Prefecture, and even the entire Ming Dynasty?
……
Outside Tongzhou City.
As the rooster crows and dawn breaks, the city gatekeepers yawn and lead a few government officials to feebly begin to open the city gates.
Inside the city gate, a group of people were waiting quietly. As soon as the city gate opened, they would go out to do farm work or do hard work for others. There were also a few carriages mixed in, and they should be first-rate merchants. "Huh?"
Suddenly, these common people saw the government officials who were slowly opening the city gate. They had just opened the city gate a crack. Each of them seemed to have seen something frightening, and their whole bodies froze in place with fear.<
/p>
Immediately, the city gate opened automatically.
Wrong!
Soon, all the people could not help but widen their eyes and took a step back.
A group of black-armored troops, all wrapped up tightly, walked in murderously from outside the city gate.
Some people even found that in the army, some of the black armor and spears were stained with purple and black spots, which was even more terrifying and depressing.
Fortunately, this army had no interest in them. After entering Tongzhou City, they walked directly in the direction of Tongzhou Yamen.
"Is that Mr. He near Zhangjiawan Pier?"
"That's Mr. Zhang...Mr. Hu...Mr. Zhong..."
"Why do they seem to be escorted here..."
"How could the officers and soldiers catch them? Let's go, let's follow them and see..."
As if they had discovered some great joy, the common people followed the mysterious army into the city with beaming faces.
The back house of Tongzhou Yamen.
Cui Shijian was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard a rush of shouting coming from outside the door.
"Master, master, something bad is going on..."
Before he finished speaking, Cui Shijian sat up in fright with a 'bang' sound, and the door of his dormitory was kicked open.
At the same time, several soldiers covered in armor rushed in like wolves and tigers.
"Ah~"
Cui Shijian's beautiful concubine screamed in fright.
Cui Shijian scolded in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him and dragged him off the bed directly to the court hall in the front yard.
The further they walked, the more Cui Shijian's heart sank.
The entire Tongzhou Yamen has been taken down by this mysterious army.
Moreover, soldiers, led by some scribe-like personnel, are raiding his home... It should be the entire Tongzhou Yamen.
