Hope for luck

Chapter 25
Gao Pan's sudden attack made Zhou Zhengxin never expect that Gao Pan's attack was directed at himself?

Looking at Gao Pan with a resolute and serious face, Zhou Zhengxin's thoughts froze at this moment. He couldn't think of the reason why Gao Pan did this, and he couldn't think of how Gao Pan knew about the transfer of ownership of the land!

After secretly calming down, Zhou Zhengxin bowed and said:

"As your lord said, the lower officials don't know about it, so it's better to let the people in the house come to testify and find out!"

Gao Pan saw that he still didn't give up, and knew that he would not cry when he saw the coffin, so he waved his hands and said:

"Since that's the case, the steward of the Household House came to ask questions!"

At this moment, Zhou Zhengxin suddenly felt that something was wrong. If he was really asked in court that the property of the Zheng family had been transferred to Pi Chuxin's name, then he, the county magistrate, might be to blame too!
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhengxin thought viciously in his heart, since this is the case, he can only give up some things!

However, until now, Zhou Zhengxin didn't understand how Gao Pan knew about this!
Logically speaking, unless someone mentioned it on purpose, how did Gao Pan know that Gao Pan has only been in the Dantang county government office for three days?
Unbeknownst to Zhou Zhengxin, Gao Pan had already seen through the intentions of the Du family, and asked Peng Ming to go to the prison of the county government during the intermission.

The whistleblower is none other than Du Guanghe, the main character in yesterday's case. Du Guanghe is an offshoot of the Du family.

Gao Pan only knew this information when he asked Du Guanghe. Du Guanghe not only talked about his relationship with the Du family.

He also said that he knew some secrets of the Du family and was willing to tell Gao Pan to please Gao Pan and reduce his crimes!

Gao Pan didn't want to know too much yesterday, so he locked up Du Guanghe first, and was going to ask about it when he had time.

It happened that the murder case in Shanghe village was related to Du's family, so Gao Pan sent Peng Ming to the prison and asked Du Guanghe a few questions.

This is not the first time that the Du family has embezzled other people's land. In addition, the second master of the Du family is an official in the court, and his family's land is exempt from tax.

In this way, the Du family already has a lot of land secretly, but they are still not satisfied.

Combining what Du Guanghe said, Gao Pan came to a rough conclusion that the property of Zheng Sanle's family must have been under Pi Chuxin's name at this moment.

Otherwise, Zhou Zhengxin wouldn't end up in person and come to protect someone who seems to have nothing to do with him!
From Gao Pan's point of view, Zhou Zhengxin is working for the Du family on the surface, but in fact, it is very likely for himself.

"My lord, bring the steward of the house!"

At this moment, a Yacha said respectfully to Gao Pan.

"Du Changhai, the humble household manager, has met your lord!"

The housekeeper named Du Changhai also saluted Gao Pan very respectfully at this moment.

As soon as Gao Pan heard his name, he immediately understood something, and asked in a deep voice:

"Du Changhai? What's your relationship with Dantang's Du family?"

Hearing Gao Pan's heavy interrogation, like interrogating a prisoner, Du Changhai trembled with fright, and said slowly:

"Humble job... The humble job is a branch of the Du family..."

After Gao Pan heard it, he thought, that's really the case, he patted the gavel heavily, and reprimanded loudly:
"Bold Du Changhai, you transferred other people's land property list without permission, and you dared to transfer the ownership without the presence of the person involved. You are really daring and reckless, and the crime is heavy!"

Du Changhai had never seen such a scene before, he was so frightened that he was speechless, and subconsciously looked back at Zhou Zhengxin.

However, Zhou Zhengxin stared straight ahead, not paying attention to his begging for help.

Seeing this, Du Changhai quickly knelt down in the hall, shouting for injustice!
"Wronged, if you are wronged, what are the two dead people? Embezzlement of property, murder of wealth, such a serious crime, the crime should be executed!"

Gao Pan said solemnly.

"My lord, you said that he embezzled my family's property, but the Tian Qi is obviously in the old man's house, and it is impossible for someone to take it away. Besides, without our nodding, how can this property become someone else's?"

At this moment, Zheng Xizhou suddenly asked with some doubts.

The Dayu Dynasty stipulated that in order to prevent excessive encroachment on land, if you want to buy or sell land, both the buyer and the seller must come to the government and agree in person before it can take effect.

Otherwise, if the government does not recognize it, the property will still belong to the original owner, and the name of the owner's family on the land deed will not change.

Moreover, it is stipulated that each person can only have how much land under his name. From the prince to the officials and gentry to the common people, there are regulations.
Hearing Zheng Xizhou's doubtful words, the people watching outside also started talking.

Wouldn't it be a mess to change the property into someone else's without the consent of the person concerned?Can someone really do it?Aren't you afraid to come to the government to sue?
"You have to ask the subordinates in this house who are using their power for personal gain and acting recklessly. Du Changhai, do you still need me to tell you what you have committed? Why don't you tell me the truth?"

Gao Pan looked coldly at Du Changhai in the hall and said.

"It's...a humble job...bewitched by ghosts, it's really impossible to die, and I hope you will forgive me..."

Du Changhai had become panicked at this moment, Zhou Zhengxin made it clear that he did not want to protect him.

He had no choice but to tell the truth in order to ask Gao Pan to forgive him.

After hearing Du Changhai's words, everyone realized that these subordinate officials sitting in the county government can change the name of each person's property as long as they use their pens!
As for the land deed in your hand, it is not important anymore. If you want to report to the official, the householder will take out the case book at that time, how can ordinary people talk about these subordinates?

In an instant, the entire onlookers seemed to have exploded, accusing Du Changhai angrily!
"It's really a villain with a wicked mind, corrupt and perverting the law. Let's go around and search for evidence of his crime. I will sentence this person who deserves death first!"

At this moment, Gao Pan's starry eyes were shining, and he said loudly, the voice spread throughout the hall, making people feel a little awed when they heard it.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengxin's face turned livid, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. Things seemed to have deviated from his expectations!

Originally, he thought that saving Pi Chuxin would not be a problem, as long as the evidence of the crime was not established, then Gao Pan would have no way to convict Pi Chuxin of the crime!
However, he never expected that Gao Pan would burn the fire directly to the house, and take down Du Changhai, who had been in charge of the house for many years, first!
Youdao is an iron-clad subordinate official and an undisputed official. The reason why Du Changhai can have such confidence is that he is not afraid of officials like Gao Pan checking him out.

Furthermore, in their eyes, Gao Pan is not yet an official county magistrate, so they never expected that Gao Pan would really use this reason to punish him!
Soon, another government agent was in the house and took out the land property records recorded in Dantang County.

It clearly shows that the field in Zheng Sanle's home has now become Pi Chuxin's!
