Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1679 I call the shots for everyone!

The child nodded, went straight to the desk, took the pen from the clerk, and wrote his name neatly on the account book.

Although Liu Jie couldn't see the handwriting on the account book from a distance, but seeing the clerk nodding, he couldn't restrain his curiosity: Two or three years ago, this village was full of refugees who were about to die of cold and hunger, but now they couldn't even Are these dolls able to write and do things?
These days, reading and literacy is the right of the aristocratic family. How many children from poor families can afford to read?That's why His Majesty loves and trusts so much when the imperial court has a Ma Zhou.Liu Ji had long heard that the Fang family had set up a school on Zhuangzi, but it was not clear how effective it was. Now it seems that it is indeed teaching poor children who are not good at reading and writing.

Maybe these people are not even considered poor, but they are all refugees with no real property...

And the most important point, why does a mere refugee family need to pay more than four stones in rent?
This is simply knocking the bone and sucking the marrow!

Liu Ji shook his head and sighed.Fortunately, I came to the Fang family Zhuangzi today, if Le Yanwei and other inspector censors who were instructed by others came to see this scene and properly impeach the Fang family father and son to His Majesty, the matter would become a big mess!

He was angry, your Fang family is so rich, why bother to take such a little from the common people?I'm afraid that even if the farmers in the Zhuangzi paid all their output for a year in land rent, it wouldn't be worth the ten days and a half months of income at the Fangjiawan Wharf in the south of Chang'an City, right?
It's really unkind for the rich!
He actually slaughtered dozens of fat pigs to treat the farmer?Such small favors and small favors can make the oppressed farmers feel grateful, and pay rent that is several times higher than the imperial court's regulations, but they don't know it. Instead, they smile and praise the Fang family for their kindness and generosity...

Liu Jiefei is an honest gentleman, he knows the way of making money in the officialdom best, and his temperament is not much related to hatred and evil.He had always admired Fang Xuanling, and felt that Fang Xuanling was a clear stream in the court, different from those officials who fought for the interests of the family, he was a real gentleman.

He didn't think that Fang Xuanling would go back and exploit the people, but the Fang family has a great career, so it is inevitable that half of the scum will come out and do such dirty things in the name of the Fang family's father and son...

Liu Ji thought for a while and walked over.

He doesn't have a strong background, let alone a strong backing, and the holy family is not Youlong. Apart from his own ability, what is more important is his accumulated reputation among the people and the officialdom. He Liu Ji, who would dare not to praise him for "defying power"?
Of course, the secret to gaining such a reputation of "fearing no power" is "picking persimmons hard"...

The more you challenge those great people who are powerful and powerful, the more you can show your fearlessness of power!
How could a person who dared to wrestle with an important official of the court for the slightest mistake not be an upright, loyal and courageous official?
The big yard is very spacious, and in order to speed up the rent payment process, the Fang family set up several stalls for weighing grain, all of which are in charge of servants and scribes.At this time, several houses were paying the rent, and the measuring servant kept climbing up and down the vehicle, reporting the amount, and the scribe next to him recorded it, and then the renter signed it after confirming that it was correct.

Liu Jie walked quickly to the side of the thin old man, grandparents and grandchildren, but no one noticed for a while...

Seeing that the grandfather and grandson drove the cart into the gate of Zhuangzi to unload grain, Liu Ji took three steps at a time and tore the old man off the shaft of the cart, and said in a loud voice, "Old man, wait a moment."

The old man was taken aback by him, and wondered: "What advice does this official have?"

Although Liu Ji didn't wear official robes, but he was bossy in a high position, so he naturally had a demeanor that was different from ordinary people.

Liu Ji said: "I don't dare to be an advisor, so I will help you today and ask Fang's family for your hard-earned money back!"

"What?"

The old man was stunned, thinking that he was deaf...

Liu Jie took the old man's hand and said with emotion: "Although it was because of the Fang family's shelter that the big guy had a place to stay and live, but the food he worked so hard all year round was treated so harshly by the Fang family. I am heartbroken to be exploited and oppressed by rent and taxes! Since today is the right meeting, let me speak up and order the Fang family to return the food to the fellow villagers!"

There are also skills in hating people, who is Fang Xuanling?It can be said that in the eyes of His Majesty, he is the head of Chinese ministers and the prime minister of the world!Liu Ji dared to hate Fang Xuanling, but he would not fight Fang Xuanling directly. He only talked about recovering the overpaid rent and taxes for the people, but he did not say that he would sue the Fang family for "being rich and unkind" .

He believed in Fang Xuanling's character, but he also believed in what he saw with his own eyes. As long as he eliminated the black sheep of the Fang family, he would not only be praised by the people, but even Fang Xuanling would look at him differently.

The scheming is indeed deep...

The old man was at a loss when he heard this, and said in puzzlement: "What overpaid rent? I haven't overpaid. Here are the amounts we should pay. Strictly speaking, the old man took advantage of Fang's family. The amount of food here is definitely not as much as four stones..."

Liu Jie already had preconceived ideas, and subconsciously believed that the old man was afraid of the power of the Fang family and did not dare to admit the fact that he had paid more rent. Picketing the world's lawlessness, even if the Fang family and his son stand here, I can still seek justice for you!"

After saying that, without waiting for the old man to defend himself, he already puffed up his chest and shouted loudly: "Who is the person in charge of rent collection in the Fang family today? Come here quickly!"

There was silence all around.

Everyone was stunned by Liu Ji's behavior, and stared blankly at this man with a righteous face, as if Ximen Leopard who "smartly punishes the three elders and is just for thousands of years"...

Liu Ji yelled, and when he realized that no one responded, he suddenly became a little annoyed. Are all the Fang family members so arrogant?The dignified censor Zhongcheng came to the door in person, but he ignored him?

Crazy!
At this moment, he himself has been influenced by the "righteousness" he created, and he thinks that he is the embodiment of justice. Even if the heavenly king Lao Tzu comes, he will stand on the side of justice, and the gods and Buddhas in the sky will dare to hate him!He strode up to a servant of the Fang family, and asked sharply, "Can't you hear what I'm saying? Which scum is the Fang family responsible for collecting rent today? Quickly point it out to this officer. Bring the bastard to justice, eliminate this evil for the Fang family, and return the common people to a bright future!"

The servant was so frightened by Liu Ji's frowning look, he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and pointed to the big umbrella at the front...

Before the servant could speak, Liu Jie had strode over and asked loudly as he walked, "Although you are all civilians, you are also protected by the laws of the Tang Dynasty. If you are oppressed and exploited, if you can't stand up, who can protect you?" Your whole life? With my official here, don’t be afraid, the housekeeper is clean and upright, he is a model for the world, and he certainly doesn’t know that there are slaves in the family doing evil, how can the dignified Fang family tolerate such scum and corruption?”

He spoke uprightly and loudly, while walking towards the huge sun umbrella, he said in his mouth: "Come on, come on, today I will clean up the Fang family's house...uh..."

When he came under the umbrella, he saw a ferocious pretty face already covered with frost, and a pair of beautiful eyes seemed to shoot out three flavors of real fire, vowing to burn his flesh and blood, and then turn his bones into ashes!

Liu Ji was so frightened that Lingling shuddered, opened his mouth wide, and looked at the furious Princess Gaoyang in front of him in disbelief. That petite and exquisite body seemed to have transformed into a sword that relied on the sky, with a murderous aura!
Why is this guy collecting rent here?

Thinking about his own words just now, Liu Ji was sweating profusely, and stammered: "Dian Dian Dian... Your Highness..."

"boom!"

Princess Gao Yang stood up suddenly, and slapped the table in front of her fiercely. The two rows of small white teeth creaked, wishing to crush Liu Jie's head with one bite. The words said: "What a censor Zhongcheng, you are an upright and loyal official, and this palace is just a villain in the fish and meat town who bullies and squeezes the people, right? Well, okay, this palace is standing here, don't you want to be the master for the people? Don't you want to give money to the house?" Do you want to clean up your family? Come on, tell me, what do you plan to do? Do you slander your father and cut your title, or let Erlang divorce you? Hmm?!"

Her Royal Highness's lungs are about to explode!
Finally, I got a chance to get in touch with the farmer at close range, so as to express how approachable she is as a princess, and to show her own existence and status. It is tolerable to be called a heinous villain by this old bastard unbearable!
If this is the case, what is the majesty of this princess?
