Hu Yuanjun's tone was loud and even more solemn in the lobby.
The people in the hall were becoming more and more anxious at this moment.
Except for Liu Quan, who remained calm in the middle, the bodies of the other two people were already trembling, and they even lowered their heads at this moment.
"Didn't you hear what I asked you?" the guard scolded.
The gentry can make noises in the lobby, but to ordinary people, the county government lobby is still a dignified place.
At this moment, being scolded by the officer, the two people next to him knelt down. Only Liu Quan in the middle replied: "The villain Liu Quan is here to sue Zhang Dahu of Shanyan Village for occupying the villain's forty acres of land!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Yuanjun stared directly at Liu Quan, who couldn't bear the pressure and lowered his head.
"I heard that you are a rogue in the city..."
Hu Yuanjun was stunned and scolded: "Where did you get forty acres of land?"
This "pop" sound frightened Liu Quanke.
But he still replied: "Sir, I don't dare to lie. The land passed down from my ancestors has been taken over by Zhang Dahu, who has no one to cultivate it."
"The villain went back to ask for it, but he was beaten out by Zhang Dahu. I beg you to make the decision!" Liu Quan kowtowed repeatedly.
Seeing that this guy was speaking the truth, Hu Yuanjun couldn't help but mutter, could this guy be telling the truth?
"Let him sign it and then check the evidence carefully!"
After Hu said these words, Hu Yuanjun stood up and left.
Liu Quan didn't know how to read, so when he saw the case file brought by the clerk, he confusedly pressed his fingerprints, and then the three of them were kicked out of the county government office.
After the three of them left the county government office and walked away, Liu Quan passed the corner and said with a cold face: "It seems that the county government office is unreliable!"
"Brother, why don't you forget it?"
"What the hell? Where can I find this hugely profitable thing?" Liu Quan scolded.
"Can……"
"But that's bullshit. If the county government doesn't work, let's go to the government office. No... let's go and file a complaint with the police!"
Having said this, Liu Quan looked at the county government with hatred in his eyes and said, "I don't believe it, these people dare to ignore it when things get serious, unless they are not afraid of losing their heads!"
Since Zhao Yanxun came to power, southern officials and wealthy gentry have made great losses, which has actually changed the mentality of many people.
For example, Liu Quan, although still fearful of the government, also had thoughts of confrontation.
After saying these harsh words, Liu Quan and the other two quickly left, not knowing that someone heard their conversation.
Not long after, the news reached Hu Yuanjun's ears.
"They are shouting that they are going to press the police?" Hu Yuanjun was very surprised.
"Follow me, little man, and hear it with your own ears!"
"These bastards!" Hu Yuanjun was very angry
If the matter reaches the Chief Inspector, it will not only make the superior officer feel that he is incompetent, but will also attract the attention of senior officials.
By then, everything that happens in Xuanning County will be magnified, and the chance of making mistakes will become much greater.
After thinking about it, Hu Yuanjun ordered: "Immediately send someone to Shanyan Village to insert evidence, and then send someone to stabilize Liu Quan and tell him that I will judge the case impartially!"
"Yes!" the guard replied.
Hu Yuanjun was very thoughtful and thought that by filing the case, he would be able to control the situation. Unfortunately, he met the bold Liu Quan.
After Liu Quan received the news, in order to ensure that he could win the lawsuit, he spread the word throughout the city that the county magistrate would help him get his land back.
It is easy to find people interested in the idea that Liu Quan was just a local ruffian, but he actually allowed the county magistrate to help him get land.
As a result, people in the county began to talk about this case, and some even went to find out more about the situation.
As time goes by, the truth of the case gradually becomes clear.
The matter is actually very simple. Zhang Da's family owns 500 acres of land, and two-thirds of the land in Shanyan Village belongs to him.
However, when declaring the land, Zhang Dahu concealed 40 acres of land, which was discovered by Liu Quan during the public announcement in the village.
Ever since, Liu Quan had a crooked idea, thinking that since these lands were "unowned", he might as well occupy them himself.
In fact, the main reason why Liu Quan was so bold was because he realized that "the times have changed."
Anyone who dared to disobey the imperial decree would be killed by the emperor, so he dared to use the power of "rules" to occupy the fields of Zhang Da's family.
And this case finally came to trial three days later.
On the opening day, there were many people outside the county government office, including many wealthy gentry.
The former came to see the excitement, but the latter came to support Zhang Dahu.
If Liu Quan's "despicable" request is not severely rejected and punished, all big business owners will feel insecure.
After all, these people know how much land they have hidden secretly.
At this moment, outside the county government office, Wang Xin was wearing a gray robe, standing inconspicuously among the crowd.
He was the imperial envoy who came to Xuanning County, but he did not go to the county government, but went to various places for secret visits.
I originally thought there would be no gains, but unexpectedly I encountered Liu Quan's case.
After two days of inquiring, Wang Xin already knew the inside story of the case, and he was here to hear the verdict at this moment.
"If it weren't for the public announcement system, I'm afraid no one would be able to find the loopholes of the big households!" Wang Xin said softly.
The censor Hu Lizhen proposed the public notice system, which was intended to allow the common people to supervise large households, but the implementation still had some effect.
In the past month, there have been more than a dozen cases of people reporting underreported land acres, all of which were tried by Hu Lizhen personally. Those gentry who underreported the property were all severely punished, which shocked some people.
Those people who reported the case were also rewarded by the government, inspiring others to participate in supervision.
But now Liu Quan's appearance has led to a new direction.
Why should you go to the government and take possession of the land that the squire had concealed? Wouldn't you get more benefits this way?
Wang Xin is a smart man, and he is very aware of the demonstration effect of this case, and is destined to have a "difficult" trial process.
"Such a naughty person has no choice but to slap his nose on his face. What will happen in the future?"
"That's right, if Hu Yuanjun is sentenced randomly, we will make trouble so that he will not be able to step down!"
"I agree. Such an outrageous thing must never be allowed to happen!"
At the gate of the county government office, the gentry shared the same hatred and reached a consensus.
At the other end, Liu Quan was coming and was greeting the people who were accompanying him.
"Fellow folks, if Liu Quan did anything wrong in the past, it was because I was young and ignorant. I apologize to you today!"
"I just hope that you can help me bear witness. If the great master doesn't make the decision for me and helps the big family to put me in jail, and then the imperial envoy comes...you can redress my grievance on my behalf!"
All the important households came to let Liu Quan know that the matter had become serious, that his life was in danger, and that he was now making arrangements for his funeral.
It can also be seen from this that this guy is not only very courageous, but also thoughtful.
Soon, Liu Quan arrived at the county government office and came outside the lobby accompanied by his two brothers.
Being forced into a dead end, Liu Quan relaxed his mentality, so he was no longer so anxious at this moment.
At this moment, Zhang Dahu, the defendant, was also there, and they were extremely jealous when they met.
"You're a clown, you're despicable!" Zhang Dahu cursed directly.
"Mr. Zhang, your family has a big business, but you are still bigger than the imperial court?" Liu Quan asked.
"The official list didn't say that the forty acres of land is yours!"
This was exactly what hurt Zhang Dahu, so much so that when Liu Quan said the last sentence, his face turned livid.
In the lobby, Hu Yuanjun was so entangled that he did not go to the hall for a long time.
This case involves more than forty acres of land. No matter what the verdict is, it will be a dead end.
