The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 858 Fainting
"Who is in the hall? What are you telling me?"

Hu Yuanjun's tone was loud, and he was even more serious in this hall.

The few people in the hall became more and more anxious at the moment.

Except for Liu Quan who remained calm in the middle, the other two were already trembling, and even lowered their heads at this moment.

"Master asked you something, didn't you hear me?" the guard scolded.

The gentry can make noise in the lobby, but to the ordinary people, the county government lobby is still a place of majesty.

At this moment, being reprimanded by the guards, the two people next to him just knelt down on their stomachs, and only Liu Quan in the middle replied: "The villain Liu Quan is here to sue the big family Zhang of Shanyan Village for encroaching on the villain's [-] acres of land!"

Hearing this, Hu Yuanjun stared straight at Liu Quan, who couldn't bear the pressure and lowered his head.

"I heard that you are a rogue in the city..."

After slapping the gavel, Hu Yuanjun snapped, "Where did you get the forty acres of land?"

This "pop" sound scared Liu Quan quite a bit.

But he still replied: "Master, the villain dare not lie, the land passed down from the ancestors, the villain left home and no one cultivated it, but the big family Zhang took it forcibly!"

"The villain went back to ask for it, but was beaten out by Zhang Dahu, I beg you to make the decision!" Liu Quan kowtowed repeatedly.

Seeing this fellow's eloquent words, Hu Yuanjun couldn't help muttering, could this fellow be telling the truth?
"Let him make a pledge, and then check it carefully!"

After Hu put down these words, Hu Yuanjun got up and left.

Liu Quan couldn't read, so when he saw the case file brought by the petty official, he pressed his fingerprints in a daze, and then the three of them were kicked out of the county office.

After the three of them walked out of the county government office, 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?"

"Forget what? Where can I find such a huge profit?" Liu Quan scolded.

"Can……"

"What the hell, the county government can't do it, let's go to the government government, no... let's go to file a complaint against the prosecutor!"

Speaking of this, Liu Quan looked at the county government with hatred, and said, "I don't believe it. If things get serious, these people dare to ignore them, unless they are not afraid of losing their heads!"

Since Zhao Yanxun came to power, a large number of southern officials and gentry fell, which actually changed the mentality of many people.

Liu Quan, for example, was still afraid of the government, but he also wanted to fight.

Putting down these cruel words, Liu Quan and the three left quickly, but they didn't know that someone had overheard their conversation.

After a while, the news reached Hu Yuanjun's ears.

"Are they clamoring to go to the court?" Hu Yuanjun was very surprised.

"The villain followed me, I heard it with my own ears!"

"These bastards!" Hu Yuanjun was very angry

If the matter is brought to the inspector, it will not only make Shangguan feel that he is incompetent, but also attract the attention of the high-level officials.

At that time, everything that happened in Xuanning County will be magnified, and the chances of making mistakes will become much higher.

After thinking about it, Hu Yuanjun ordered: "Immediately send someone to Shanyan Village to testify, and then send someone to stabilize Liu Quan, and tell him that the judge will judge the case fairly!"

"Yes!" replied the guard.

Hu Yuanjun was very thoughtful, thinking that if he settled the case, he would be able to control the situation, but unfortunately he met the bold Liu Quan.

After Liu Quan got the news, in order to ensure that he could win the lawsuit, he spread the word everywhere in the city, saying that the county lord would help him get his fields back.

Liu Quan is just a local ruffian, and he can get the county lord to help him ask for land. This statement is very interesting.

Ever since, the people in the county began to talk about this case, and some even went to find out the situation.

As time passed, the truth of the case gradually became clear.

The matter is actually very simple. Zhang Dahu's family has [-] mu of land, and two-thirds of the land in Shanyan Village belongs to him.

But when declaring the land, Zhang Dahu concealed [-] mu of land, and was discovered by Liu Quan when it was publicized in the village.

As a result, Liu Quan had a twisted mind, thinking that since these lands were "unowned", he simply took them by himself.

In fact, the main reason why Liu Quan is so bold is that he has realized that "times have changed".

Those who dared to violate the imperial court's decree were killed by the emperor, so he dared to use the power of "rules" to occupy the fields of Zhang Dahu's family.

And this case finally ushered in the day of trial three days later.

On the day of the opening of the hall, there were many people outside the county government office, and there were many wealthy gentry and dignitaries among them.

The former is to watch the fun, while the latter is to stand for Zhang Dahu.

Liu Quan's "despicable" request, if not severely rejected and punished, will make all the big households feel insecure.

After all, these people know how much land they have concealed in private.

At this moment, outside the county yamen, Wang Xin was wearing a gray robe, standing inconspicuously among the crowd.

He is the imperial envoy who came to Xuanning County, but he did not go to the county government office, but went to various places for unannounced visits.

I thought there would be no gains, but unexpectedly encountered Liu Quan's case.

After two days of inquiring about the inside story of the case, Wang Xin already knew about it, and he is also here to hear the verdict.

"If it weren't for the public announcement system, I'm afraid no one would be able to find the big family's flaws!" Wang Xin said softly.

Hu Lizhen, the censor, proposed the public announcement system. The original intention was to let the common people supervise the big households, and it still has some effect after implementation.

In the past month, there have been more than a dozen cases of reporting and concealing the farmland, all of which were tried by Hu Lizhen himself. Those gentry who concealed the report were all severely punished, which shocked some people.

And those people who reported were also rewarded by the government, which encouraged others to participate in supervision.

But now that Liu Quan appeared, it led to a new trend.

Why do you have to sue the government and occupy the land that the squire concealed? Isn't there more benefit?
Wang Xin is a smart person, and he is well aware of the demonstration effect of this case, and it is destined that the trial process will be "difficult".

"Such a rogue has no choice but to let him push his nose on his face, so he will pay back in the future?"

"That's right, if Hu Yuanjun is judged indiscriminately, we will make trouble for him!"

"I agree, such outrageous things must not be allowed to happen to him!"

At the gate of the county government, the gentry have reached a consensus with the same hatred.

On the other side, Liu Quan was rushing to greet the people who came with him.

"Fathers and folks, if Liu Quan did anything wrong in the past, it was all because I was young and ignorant, and I will apologize to you today!"

"I just hope that you can help me to be a witness. If the Elder Master doesn't decide for us and helps the big family put us in prison, the imperial court will come later... You can claim justice for me!"

All the major households came to let Liu Quan know that things had become serious and his life was in danger, so he was now arranging the funeral.

It can also be seen from this that this guy is not only very courageous, but also has a delicate mind.

Soon, Liu Quan came to the county government office, accompanied by two brothers to the outside of the lobby.

Being forced to a dead end, Liu Quan let go of his mentality instead, so he is no longer so anxious at this moment.

At this moment, Zhang Dahu, who is the defendant, is also there, and the two are extremely jealous when they meet.

"Jumping clown, despicable and shameless!" Zhang Dahu scolded directly.

"Master Zhang, your family has a great career, but you are still bigger than the imperial court?" Liu Quan asked back.

"On the official list, it didn't say that the forty acres of land belonged to you!"

This was precisely Zhang Dahu's sore foot, so that Liu Quan's last sentence made his face turn livid.

In the hall, Hu Yuanjun was so entangled that he was not promoted to the hall for a long time.

This case not only involved forty acres of land, no matter how it was judged, it would be a dead end.

"It's not good, the county magistrate fainted!"
