"Based on the current oral confession, first of all I want to make it clear that the sponsors of 'Jiangjiagou' and 'Dingjianao' can be taken over. However, the officials of Wuwen County and the Dongbohou Mansion can
It’s not that easy to get.”
Stacks of "iron certificates" piled up like a mountain have really become the concrete image of "a mountain of ironclad evidence".
While Wei Hao was feeling emotional, he also told the Baojiaxians in detail the results of the next steps.
"It's not easy to blame the Wuwen County government officials, not because they made no mistakes, nor because they have strong backers, but purely because of this matter. If the Wuwen County government officials were not stupid, they could find a scapegoat and get away with it by saying they were 'deceived'.
Then, the magistrate of Wuwen County is absolutely at fault for being incompetent and lazy. The most the court can do is suspend him from office, but there will be no investigation."
"As for Dong Bohou's mansion, it's even more difficult to control. You can send a few slaves out to die, and put all the sins on the slaves on the grounds that 'the slaves bullied the master'."
"Therefore, the evidence is conclusive, but the direction is limited, and it does not have much involvement with high-ranking officials and powerful people. Even if I know that there are problems with the Wuwen County Government and the Dongbohou Mansion, I cannot capture them all."
"These words, I want to say first. I am not afraid of alerting the enemy. Let Wuwen County Government and Dongbohou Mansion be prepared. The evidence is conclusive, and the person in charge will be killed directly. It can also be regarded as killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, so that the powerful people on both sides will not go too far.
furious."
Wei Hao has already given a rough standard for how to deal with it in the future and where to deal with it.
Then he continued: "If the Wuwen County government and Dongbohou Mansion are stupid, it will be a good thing. As long as they confront me, I will naturally be happy to send them to the underworld. But this kind of thing, I think
Just think about it, it's unlikely. What I can do is to try my best to get more compensation for 'Jiangjiagou' and 'Dingjianao'."
"According to the "Daxia Law", it is not a problem to be exempted from forced labor for two or three years, and then the bean and wheat field taxes should also be reduced. After all, in times of famine, prefectures and counties already have such powers."
"As for the Dongbohou Mansion, we will see how much money can be spent to buy reputation. We will see in a few days."
How to compensate, who will compensate, how much compensation, and what form it will take, Wei Hao also explained one by one. These common matters were all learned from Wang Fubo.
As for whether the Wuwen County government will fool him next, he is not panic. He also learned a lot from Zhou Daohai about the tricks of deceiving the superiors.
Despite the shamelessness in officialdom, Wang Shouyu's performance during the Chinese New Year is still vivid in my mind.
The local Baojiaxians were all chattering and quarreling, not that they wanted to kill the Wuwen County Government or the Dongbohou Mansion, but that they were thinking of getting more compensation.
They are just guardian immortals, not ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. They do not have great supernatural powers, nor can they entertain unrealistic delusions.
There are too many things like overestimating your own capabilities.
Especially in the process of asking for justice, it is rare that both the jade and the stone are destroyed. Most of the time, the stubborn stone is broken into sand, and the beautiful jade is intact, because the stubborn stone basically has no chance to touch the beautiful jade in the high hall.
No chance.
"Stone men" like Wei Hao are the alternative in the eyes of countless Baojiaxian.
And it is an alternative among alternatives.
After the noise subsided, the old yellow weasel smoked his cigarette and saluted Wei Hao: "Your Majesty, we don't dare to think about taking down the county magistrate. For such a big thing as the Marquis, just take advantage of a few more bags of grain, that's fine."
"Old sir, please relax. Those who do evil will always be punished. If the court doesn't care, I, Wei Hao, will still take care of it. If the court obstructs it, I will overthrow the court."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Wei Hao's few words directly silenced all the guardian immortals. How could they dare to think like that? But this king of the underworld, the ruler of the Yang world, is really wild and domineering.
"Don't think that Mr. Wei is just saying frank words. If Mr. Wei had not had such determination, the 'incarnation of national destiny' would not have met Mr. Wei. All these things, as long as I, Wei Hao, have a clear conscience, I will not be afraid of any opponent.
.”
These words are reassuring.
It was just that the reassurance was a bit big, and it choked a group of elves and monsters at that time.
Even the chirping house sparrows shut their mouths now and didn't dare to let out any air.
This King of Wei...he really dares to rebel.
Don’t even say it, it’s fun to listen to it!
At this moment, there was a sound of breaking the air outside, and a sparrow was seen diving into the mountain temple, landing on Wei Hao's shoulder, then jumping up, landing on the ground, and then transformed into a girl in black.
Her graceful figure, dignified facial features, and heroic appearance made the local little monsters feel ashamed of themselves. They lowered their heads wherever they dared to look directly.
"Xuan Xin, what do you say?"
"Elder Elephant, the residence of 'Dong Bohou'... you will never imagine how big it is!"
Yan Xuanxin's eyes were filled with shock, but Wei Hao frowned and said solemnly: "It can't be built in the Wuwen County government office, right?"
"No, no, no, it's not the county government!"
His tone was still filled with surprise, and Yan Xuanxin whispered in Wei Hao's ear: "Elder Elephant, the entire county of Wuwen County is the residence of 'Dong Bohou'!"
"..."
Good guy!!
It’s me, Mr. Wei, who is too ignorant!!
I've seen people with big appetites, but I've never seen people with such big appetites.
But here comes the question, is this over the limit?
When this doubt arose, Wei Hao felt like he was crying because of his own stupidity. Since "Dong Bohou" was involved in this business, there must be something going on here.
Otherwise, the magistrate of Wuwen County, no, all the officials from top to bottom of Wuwen County will be exiled for three thousand miles plus another three thousand miles.
A county seat is the Hou Mansion.
No wonder it requires two minerals, but maybe they are not enough.
How will the people in Wuwen County be resettled?
Doubts arose one after another, but in the end Wei Hao came up with a solution himself.
There is nothing that cannot be solved through money and power. If there is, it can be doubled.
Not to mention "the poor should not fight with the rich and the rich should not fight with the officials", just the fact that the imperial court restarted the "Sifang Bo" and "Fiffang Bo" has in itself strengthened many local privileges.
There will be countless big and small dignitaries attached to the house of "Dong Bohou".
It is not a big problem to digest a citizen of Wuwen County.
At least judging from the income generated by flattering "Dong Bohou", it is not a problem at all.
But this made Wei Hao's heart even more angry, because with such strength, "Dong Bohou" Hou Mansion could make life much easier for his "main family" Jiangjiagou with just a little relaxation of his fingers.
However, the result is that he is squeezed to death, and his behavior is comparable to that of a rural sage. This appearance is really bad.
"If the county seat is converted into a mansion, what will happen to the country's destiny?"
Wei Hao remembered something and asked quickly.
People's hearts are the destiny of the country. This is not only what Bai Hu, the "incarnation of the destiny of the country", said personally, but also the evidence obtained by Wei Hao during his continuous practice.
Although he does not rely on the luck of the country, in every war, the luck of the country fluctuates according to people's will. This is Wei Hao's personal experience and actual observation.
Therefore, there must be changes when the county seat is transformed from an official unit of the imperial court to a private mansion of the powerful.
The key point is the spread of "popularity".
"I can't tell. Now it's like a huge construction site. It seems that there is a national destiny, but it's not true."
"Um?"
This made Wei Hao's eyes light up. He had observed this phenomenon when he arrived nearby.
Those altars? Beacon towers?
So Wei Hao reorganized a question. Since "Dong Bohou" chose Wuwen County, there must be something he likes in Wuwen County.
According to the local gods, "Wenshang" is related to the emperor, that is, Donghuang and Qingdi. So it is very likely that what "Dongbohou" is thinking about is what Donghuang and Qingdi left behind?
The logical chain is a closed loop. "Dongbohou" has the intention to come here and come to "Wenshang".
"It seems that the local area has its own special characteristics."
Just like Chaozhou, even if it sinks to the bottom of the water, it is still a huge lake. If you want to be the lake god or water lord in Chaohu Lake, it is impossible without some strength.
"Well……"
During the construction process of the Hou Mansion, something similar to the national destiny can still be produced, which proves that whether there is imperial governance here or not, it doesn't matter much, it is an environment where living creatures can survive safely.
If China is an ocean, then the human race that originally occupied the essence of China is like a continent in the ocean.
And one day, if the Shenzhou continent sinks, it will not all sink into the sea, but there will be various giant islands that will still remain in the rough ocean.
Wenshang, the ancestral court of the Emperor, should have the qualifications to become an "isolated island".
However, these are all speculations, and Wei Hao is not in a hurry to explore the rules now.
In the process of solving the problems of "Jiangjiagou" and "Dingjianao", various clues will naturally be exposed. Those outposts and beacon towers where soldiers with their own runes and spells are stationed will eventually reveal their true colors.
"Elephant Master, do you want to continue to inquire?"
"Don't worry yet."
Wei Hao waved his hand and said to Yan Xuanxin, "Let's go to 'Jiangjiagou' first and settle the case here."
After saying that, Wei Hao stood up and said to the group of guardian immortals: "Everyone, please disperse."
"Thank you, King Wei. Thank you, King Wei..."
"King Wei, I'll take my leave..."
"King Wei, take care."
…
The elves and monsters retreated one after another, and the mountain god asked: "Your Majesty, why don't you wait until tomorrow to go to 'Jiangjiagou'? Counting the days, tomorrow is the day when the construction site guards will come to 'Jiangjiagou' to act as bodyguards."
"Oh? Are you going to deliver rations tomorrow?"
"Exactly."
Tiger nodded and added, "Maybe I'll also give you some clothes, shoes and socks. A lot of shoes and socks are used on this construction site, and spinning hemp is a hard job. I need to mend my shoes every few days..."
"If that's the case, then we'll just take those guards tomorrow and let them lead the way more conveniently."
After making a decision, Wei Hao spent the night in the mountain temple. Many women who stayed up late to work fell asleep and dreamed of some elves and gods.
After waking up, everyone felt a little strange, so when they gathered outside the earth building of the ancestral hall, they were just chatting, but everyone became surprised.
"What?! Have you had such a dream too?"
"Fourth sister-in-law, sixth sister-in-law said the same thing just now, saying that someone is here to seek justice today..."
"Hey, what's fair or unfair? It can't be the boss from Fucheng who comes to a poor mountain ravine like ours, right? Besides, in the first month of the year, no boss, even the assistant of the sixth house of the county government, is willing to step on the snow The road into the mountains is not easy, but that’s what I shouted last October!”
The woman who said this spoke loudly and shouted towards the inside of the earthen building. The old man guarding the door just laughed dryly, while in the main room of the ancestral hall, several well-dressed gentry frowned and curled their lips.
"These bitches are so talkative!"
"Just letting them care about it, can they lose a piece of our flesh?"
"That's it. From now on, no matter how big or small we are, we can still eat in the county government or the Marquis' Mansion and be the rent collectors of Jiangjiagou. Isn't that comfortable? They can leave it to them."
"Hey, if there really is a god who entrusts the dream, and someone really comes to support the mud-legged people, it will be difficult to handle."
"Don't raise their ambitions. Who will support them? In the first month of the year?" One person chuckled, picked up a piece of bamboo shoots from the steaming copper pot on the stove, chewed it in his mouth, mixed it with a sip of local old wine, and then smacked his lips. Then he said, "This Wuwen County... no, this Taiyin Mansion, and even the entire Taishan Mountain, east, west, north, south, and Wenshui River, is there anything bigger than the 'Dong Bohou' Mansion? Support? What support?" Am I committing adultery? Or am I living in a fish and meat village?"
The man was talking to himself, and he didn't know whether to encourage others or to embolden himself, so he continued, "Let me talk about last year's autumn grain, has the bean and wheat field tax been reduced? Is it reduced? This labor subsidy, Are you ready? Are you ready?"
After putting down the small wine cup, he tapped it with his chopsticks and said with a proud look on his face: "The autumn harvest is short, what does this have to do with us? It's just that the farmers themselves are unlucky. The labor subsidy is delayed, so that's okay It’s not that we intentionally defaulted, it’s just because the weather is bad. It snows and winds every now and then. Who’s family is not raised by father and mother? Those who transport food also have to make a living..."
After saying that, the man smacked his lips and took a breath of alcohol: "You can't just freeze to death from exhaustion the men from other families transporting grain for the sake of our 'Jiangjiagou' people, right? That doesn't make sense, right?"
"Besides, our 'Jiangjiagou' has the same ancestry as 'Dong Bohou', so we need to be of a famous family and have dignity, and we need to learn to compare ourselves with others, right?"
These words made the man become amused, and he even said with emotion: "No matter how hard it is, no matter how tired it is, just grit your teeth, persevere, and hold on, and you will get over it."
"This makes sense and is really touching."
"..."
"..."
"..."
An unexpected voice suddenly appeared.
Noises came from outside, and the women burst out chattering, and outside the gate, a tall man walked in swaggering with a little black dog in his arms.
Before anyone else arrived, the voice of someone speaking sounded in the main room of the "Jiangjiagou" ancestral hall.
"who?!"
"Be bold!"
"How dare you break into my Jiang family's ancestral hall!"
Several people were furious, but some were shocked, because according to what the women said, someone would come to seek justice today, wouldn't it just prove it?!
