"The county magistrate has worked hard for the past few months, and now he is exhausted. He just fainted and fell down the steps!"
"The case... I'm afraid it won't be tried for the time being!"
In front of everyone, the guard introduced the situation.
The squires who came to hear the trial had already prepared their firepower, but now that Hu Yuanjun "fainted", they could only stop and stop.
"When does the county minister plan to ascend to the throne?" someone asked immediately.
The officer looked embarrassed and replied: "The county magistrate can't stand up after falling. I'm afraid it will be difficult!"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Liu Quan shouted loudly: "If the county can't make a judgment, I will go to the government office to file a complaint!"
"That's right, go to the government and file a complaint!"
There were many meddlesome people in the crowd making noises, which made all the squires extremely unhappy.
A squire ridiculed: "Go to the government to complain? There are many reasonable places in this world. You will lose wherever you go!"
"I don't know what it means!" another squire said.
Then, these people left together. Talking to Nishanzi would only make them feel inferior.
The squires left, but Liu Quan didn't panic at all. It was useless just because he panicked.
"Go to the government and complain, I'm afraid you will lose!" Wang Xin walked up to Liu Quan and reminded him calmly.
After looking Wang Xin up and down, and then at the entourage behind him, Liu Quan knew that this man was something special.
"Young Master, now that there is a new emperor, the world has changed..."
"If I exchange my humble life for the lives of those gentlemen and their families, it would be worth it for me!" Liu Quan said loudly.
Before Wang Xin could ask a question, someone immediately asked: "Why would you change the lives of those gentlemen?"
"Those gentlemen concealing the land secretly are disobeying the Emperor's will. If this matter is revealed, they will not die?"
When the scene was silent, someone with a quick reaction said: "So...the forty acres of land you want is Zhang Dahu's secret?"
"Since it has not been reported to the government, it is an unclaimed land. I said it was my man's fault? It's first come, first served!" Liu Quan said with a smile.
"According to what you say, Yuan Chen has 70 acres of land outside. Can I say it is mine?"
Pointing at the person who spoke, Liu Quan quickly said: "Of course, your Majesty will make the decision for us!"
For a time, everyone at the scene started talking, all sharing what they learned about the situation.
After being in it, Wang Xin realized that his understanding was too shallow.
These big business owners were bolder than he thought, and actually concealed so much land.
After listening to Liu Quan's story, the people present opened up a new world and had different ideas.
However, they will not take action immediately, but will wait until the Liu Quan matter comes to an end.
Of course, the common people star brother definitely supports Liu Quan, so he is also willing to build momentum for him.
Even though the case has not been brought to court, the matter has become even more heated.
Wang Xin left the crowd, and there was no need for him to enter the Xuanning County Yamen. He felt that Liu Quan's case deserved more attention.
Two days later, the county magistrate Hu Yuanjun was unable to take office, and the county magistrate excused himself on the pretext of collecting taxes, so the case could not be tried for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Liu Quan was not idle either. In two days, he found several loopholes and sued the county's wealthy owner, claiming nearly 300 acres of land for himself.
On the second day of May, Liu Quan brought the case to the government office. This move attracted more squires to watch, which made Magistrate Zhang very embarrassed.
Prominent people in the city, as well as wealthy households in various counties and villages, all exerted pressure on him.
On the other hand, the inspection censor Hu Lizhen also noticed this case and told him that he must judge the case impartially.
This time, Magistrate Zhang was immediately put on hold, so he could only hold off for the time being, just waiting for the Pinglu pay collection to be completed.
Because the case was unresolved, the matter became more and more divisive, and the news spread among the wealthy squires.
Faced with the high-pressure policies of the imperial court, the gentry had always retreated, and this incident happened to unite them.
Originally, Magistrate Yang wanted to judge the case impartially, but when more and more people greeted him, he, a small magistrate, couldn't handle it anymore.
As a result, he also fell ill while still in office, imitating Hu Yuanjun and throwing the blame away.
The gentry only felt that they had won, and the matter would not be settled if it were delayed. Who knew that Liu Quan was not afraid of death and actually sued the Jing'an Prefecture's Inspectorate directly.
Hearing the sound of drums outside, Jiangxi Inspector Zhao Yaoyin had a bitter look on his face. At this moment, his lobby was full of guests.
When Liu Quan announced that he would go to the county to seek justice, people came to him one after another, hoping that he would make the decision for the gentry.
"Lord Si, Liu Quan is just a helpless ruffian who has done a lot of evil things in the countryside. The government should have severely punished him long ago!"
"Now he is getting bolder and bolder, and has actually blackmailed a big family in the county. How can you, sir, act as an accomplice?"
"That's right. Nowadays, the imperial court is levying taxes. Big households everywhere are paying taxes with all their heart, but we can't let everyone's hearts drop!"
"Yes, sir, if that ruffian named Liu is allowed to succeed, there will be no justice in this world!"
"Your Majesty also has property in his hometown. If it is also targeted by the gangsters, should we let them plunder it?"
In front of Zhao Yaoyin, there were all seniors in their 70s and 80s who were highly respected and had held important positions. Zhao Yaoyin could only listen to what they said with an open mind.
At this moment, the drums outside were still beating, which made Zhao Yaoyin very upset.
"Someone is coming!
"I have a humble duty, please give me your orders!"
"Bring the person into the Yamen first, don't let him knock!"
"As you command!"
After ordering this matter, everyone was still staring at Zhao Yaoyin, just waiting for him to give an explanation.
"Everyone, this case is of great importance, and I dare not make any arbitrary claims..."
Standing up, Zhao Yaoyin glanced at everyone and said: "This case will be reported to the governor, and the superior officer will make his own decision at that time!"
In other words, Zhao Yaoyin chose to shift the blame at this moment, and he knew how to use this method very well.
"You should go back first. Even if the governor cannot handle it, the elder will give you justice!" Zhao Yaoyin said with a smile.
In other words, from Zhao Yaoyin's point of view, Governor Ding Yan did not dare to make a decision on this matter, and it would eventually come to Xie Xiaofang's side.
Only Xie Xiaofang, a cabinet minister who carries the royal banner and has the authority to kill first and report later, dares to touch this small land case of several hundred acres.
Seeing that everyone was motionless, Zhao Yaoyin continued: "I have important matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you all!"
Then, Zhao Yaoyin ran away directly, leaving a group of old men alone.
Everyone was silent for a while, only to hear someone say: "We need to find more people to petition. If a little gangster wins, what can we control in the future?"
This sentence quickly attracted everyone's agreement, and they were indeed united for this matter.
Just because this small case is related to their most fundamental property, which is the control of the land.
If one gangster dares to occupy their land, then others will not even think about taking advantage of their undeclared land.
Immediately afterwards, a group of old men walked out of Anchasi and then went home.
They went home not to rest, but to contact more energetic people and work with them to put pressure on the government.
They didn't dare to stand against the imperial power, but they still had the courage to deal with a little ruffian.
Ever since, the small case of forty acres of land has indeed become more and more serious.
And all this was in Wang Xin's eyes. The officials' cool tactics were an eye-opener for him.
