Su Hao led the soldiers and complaining peasants away. Zeng Fengxian, Zhao Hua, and Zeng Guisu, who had his teeth knocked out, stood on the ground to see them off until their backs were no longer visible.
"Damn, what a villain! Look how rampant he is!" Zeng Fengxian cursed bitterly.
"The hair is not even long, but the official power is quite high." Zhao Hua also muttered.
"Old Zhao, do you think this guy named Su is serious about it, or is he just trying to show off his power?" Zeng Fengxian asked Zhao Hua.
Zhao Hua shook his head and said: "I really can't see through him. When he first came here, he was quite polite. I thought he was just here to go through the motions. Who knew he would really dare to do something. Look at Zeng Gui's face. He was so polite.
What happened to the people?"
Zeng Fengxian turned around to look at Zeng Gui, and saw that his face was indeed swollen like a pig's face. Zeng Gui covered his cheeks and grumbled: "I'm afraid of causing trouble for the master, otherwise, that big black guy
Can you still be my opponent?"
Zeng Fengxian knew that Zeng Gui had just been beaten, so he found a way for himself. Looking at Xiong Minfan, the three Zeng Gui were no match for him. Zeng Fengxian shook his head and said: "When you go back, go to the accountant to pay 5 yuan."
For money, let’s find a doctor.”
"Thank you, Master." Zeng Gui responded.
Zeng Fengxian turned back to Zhao Hua and said: "Old Zhao, Hu Lin dug a hidden pile today, does it count? What should I do if this guy named Su uses this to cause trouble?"
Zhao Hua shook his head and said: "This hidden pile is not written on the land deed, so it can't be counted. If someone named Su dares to be tough, Tan Zhixian will not be easy to talk to. Even if he is a sixth-grade man, Tan Zhixian may not be afraid of him.
Got him."
"This guy is already in the sixth grade at a young age. Is there someone in the court?" Zeng Fengxian asked.
Zhao Hua was just a county government official and didn't know much about Su Hao's origins or background. He said, "I've never heard anyone talk about this. So, Zeng Weng, you should keep a low profile during this time."
, don’t let anyone get a hold of you.”
Zeng Fengxian said: "I understand, Lao Zhao, let's go and have a few drinks at home. I'm too timid."
"Oh, let's wait another day." Zhao Hua said in a low mood, "I have to go back to the county seat and report to Magistrate Tan. Who knows what Mr. Su wants to do."
After hearing that Zhao Hua said he would not go to his house to drink, Zeng Fengxian did not force him. He took out a piece of silver from his arms and put it into Zhao Hua's hand. Zhao Hua pretended to refuse, then accepted the money and hurried back to the county town.
.
Seeing Zhao Hua walking away, Zeng Fengxian asked Zeng Gui: "Zeng Gui, how do you feel on your face? Can you go out?"
Zeng Gui said: "Yes, sir, where do you want me to go?"
Zeng Fengxian said: "If you can go out, then go to Wujiagou and find the boss Pang Pang. Tell him the news about me recently. Maybe I have some work and I need his help."
Hearing Zeng Fengxian's words, Zeng Gui trembled with fright. The name of the Pang Dengkui whom Zeng Fengxian mentioned was a local bandit leader with hundreds of minions under his command. Zeng Fengxian robbed and plundered in Andong County.
Sometimes there would be resistance. At this time, Zeng Fengxian would ask Pang Dengkui to come and settle the matter. Sometimes he would beat the victim violently, and sometimes he would directly kill and set fire to the victim.
Now Su Hao has come to investigate Zeng Fengxian's occupation of the Hu Lin family's land. Zeng Fengxian asked Zeng Gui to contact Pang Dengkui. Doesn't this mean that Zeng Fengxian wants to use violence against Su Hao? The Zeng family usually bullies a few farmers, even if they collude with bandits to kill them
Afterwards, throwing a few taels of silver into the victim's home and threatening them would be enough to stop them from causing trouble. However, it is no joke to attack a sixth-grade court official.
"Master, Master Su is an official official." Zeng Gui couldn't help but remind him.
"What's wrong with the official?" Zeng Fengxian's eyes widened. "If an official encounters a strongman, what does that have to do with me? If the man named Su is ignorant and wants to mess with me, I will be at odds with him."
"I understand, I'm going to Wujiagou now." Zeng Gui responded.
Not mentioning the methods Zeng Fengxian prepared to deal with Su Hao there, he only said that Su Hao led everyone away from Mulberry Manor and returned to the inn in Chaohe Town. The complaining peasants that Su Hao brought from Huai'an Prefecture had previously been placed in the inn.
Waiting inside, when they saw Su Hao and others coming back, they cheered and surrounded him. Those who were impatient asked Hu Lin: "How is it, Brother Hu, has Mr. Su returned to the fields for you to make the decision?"
Hu Lin looked up at Su Hao and hesitated to speak. He just sighed and shook his head at everyone.
"This..." The peasants were all stunned. They thought that the prefect had sent a sixth-rank official to bring them to litigate the lawsuit, and it would definitely succeed. Who knew that this sixth-rank official was so unreliable that he even tried eight times in a row?
Even if we can't get back our acres of land, at this rate, what hope is there for us to get our land back?
Su Hao looked at everyone's expressions, smiled, and said: "Fellow folks, don't be anxious. I followed Brother Hu to Mulberry Manor today, mainly to understand the situation and explore the opinions of several parties. Litigation
What matters in this kind of matter is that the witnesses and physical evidence are complete. Now that the other party has played tricks and destroyed the physical evidence, I can't just make the decision for everyone with just one word. This is against the legal system of the court.
Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely take care of your affairs to the end. However, I have to think about how to untie this knot now. I hope everyone will trust me and cooperate with me sincerely."
"Master, we all believe in you!" All the farmers, including Hu Lin, knelt down and kowtowed to Su Hao. Su Hao quickly held his hands and helped them up one by one, and talked nicely before letting them go.
They dispersed.
The soldiers from the survey camp who followed Su Hao to Sangyuan Manor also went back to their rooms to rest. Su Hao walked back to his room, looked back, and found that Officer Zhou Ru had also followed him in.
"Old Zhou, you came with me to Mulberry Manor today. You have seen everything. Tell me what you think." Su Hao sat down on the chair, pointed out a seat to Zhou Ruyu, and then asked
.
Zhou Ruyu carefully sat down aside. He looked outside the door to make sure there was no one waiting, and then asked in a low voice: "My lord, I wonder what your lord thinks about this Hu Lin matter."
Su Hao said angrily: "Commissioner Zhou Ru, I asked you if you were okay first, why did you ask me in turn? Who of us is whose staff?"
Zhou Ruyuan said quickly: "No, no, sir, you have misunderstood. What I mean to ask is, do you really want to take care of Hu Lin's matter, or..."
"Are you asking if I just want to go through the motions?" Su Hao asked.
Officer Zhou Ru remained silent and acquiesced in Su Hao's guess.
Su Hao said: "Old Zhou, you haven't been with me for a long time, and you don't know me well. It's normal to have some questions. I don't blame you. However, I tell you, I, Su Hao, never do things in a shady manner. Since I am leading these farmers
When I come out, I naturally want to seek justice for them. In this bright world, how can the powerful be so arrogant? I just can't find a good way to get the land back for Hu Lin. If you have any idea, just tell me."
Officer Zhou Ru nodded and said: "There are many ways to get the land back for Hu Lin. However, I am worried that this method is too powerful and it will be detrimental to you."
"You really have a way?" Su Hao was a little surprised. Today at the scene, he thought about this matter carefully and thought of some ways. For example, Zeng Fengxian knocked down the old locust tree, but the roots were still there. According to
It is not difficult to restore the position of the tree roots to the position of the old locust tree. However, the disadvantage of this method is that it can easily lead to disputes. If Zeng Fengxian insists that the roots are not from the old locust tree, the officials of Andong County will come back to stir things up.
If he messed up the situation, he was bound to get into a hard fight. Su Hao didn't like this kind of entangled battle, so he didn't mention this method.
When he couldn't think of a good solution, the person in front of him, Zhou Ru, actually said that there was no solution, and the solution was quite powerful and would have adverse effects on him. Su Hao couldn't help but wonder what kind of solution it was.
"Sir, it is actually impossible to verify the location of the Hu Lin family's land. The directions indicated on the land deed were all destroyed by water. Even if you can restore it, I am afraid that Zeng Yuanwai will not admit it. If it is,
If we fight another lawsuit, I'm afraid it will be another muddled lawsuit." Zhou Ruyuan said.
Su Hao nodded and said, "You're right, that's why I didn't go to restore the scene."
Member Zhou Ru said: "Actually, what Hu Lin wants is not his original eight acres of land. If we can provide him with another eight acres of farmland, he will be satisfied. Sir, is that so?"
"Of course." Su Hao said, "All he wants is eight acres of land. It doesn't matter where it is. The key is, where can I find eight acres of land to compensate him?"
Zhou Ruyuan smiled and said: "Sir, think about it, Zeng Fengxian has occupied eight acres of the Hu Lin family's land, wouldn't his own acres be incompatible? We only need to take out the land deed of Zeng Fengxian's family and calculate it.
Let someone measure how many acres of land he has within his current boundary. There must be a gap between the two. If he can't explain the difference, it proves that it belongs to the Hu Lin family."
"It's not difficult to measure the land." Su Hao frowned and said. The survey camp in his hands was best at surveying. It was too easy to measure how many acres of land Zeng Fengxian's family owned. But.
, even if the area is measured, can’t Zeng Fengxian not lie? He can completely say that the area written on the land deed is not true, and everything must be determined based on the boundaries of his family’s land.
After hearing Su Hao express this concern, Zhou Ruyuan said: "Sir, what we want is for Zeng Feng to say this first. If he says this, we can check his family's tax deed and conceal the land area without paying taxes. That is illegal.
Things. When the time comes, wouldn’t it be natural for your lord to punish him?”
"Is this okay?" Su Hao's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but admire Zhou Ruyu. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
