Chapter 413
Poor Shirong, despite his noble status, could not escape the fate of a chess piece. At only three years old, he was used by his father to murder King Wu's only son.

That night, the prince let Shirong touch the clothes of the children who died of chickenpox. If nothing happened, Shirong would get sick in two to five days. This time is enough to infect others to infect the prince. The prince is sure that the prince will be forced to go to the inner palace by the emperor the next day.

At that time, I will hand over Shirong to that evil animal again, I am not afraid that he will not be infected.Even if the other princes are involved, the prince is not afraid, as many princes die as many as his own enemies, and if it is really found out that it is Shirong's fault, the He family will be at the bottom, and he is still the victim.His eldest son is also among them!

Sure enough, as the prince had expected, the emperor was very angry when he heard the words from Steward Wu. The emperor thought a lot, and would think that Xie Wenjing did this on purpose, and then he invited Xu Yin to the palace under the pretext that there was no husband in the mansion. For this shameless reason, the emperor will personally kill Xu Yin to put an end to Xie Wenjing's dirty thoughts.

But if Xie Wenjing's plan is for the prince's feelings for her, although the emperor will not have murderous intentions because of this, and he will not tolerate Xie Wenjing's invitation to buy the prince's admiration, I want you to enter the Martial Palace, not to give you the admiration of the prince, I want you to protect Prince Wu's Mansion!
Do you feel that you have done very well in front of you, so you are proud and complacent, and stretch your hands longer and longer?Hmph, whichever hand you stretch out, I can chop off any of your hands!How dare you still have the face to ask to see me?
"Xiao Lizi, you will go pick up the son tomorrow!" The emperor suppressed the anger in his heart, and lightly ordered that if Xie Wenjing knew something, he should cooperate with Eunuch Li and send the son into the inner palace tomorrow.

What Xie Wenjing didn't know was that the first time she defended the prince, the emperor provoked murderous intentions. Although Xie Wenjing expected that the emperor would be unhappy, as long as she saw the emperor, she was somewhat likely to persuade the emperor, but she didn't expect that the emperor would be upset at all. He didn't see himself, so he sent Eunuch Li to pick him up.

"This son will not go. This son has his own master to teach in the mansion." Seeing Eunuch Li coming again, the son still ignored him, and even practiced his own exercises in front of him. It made Eunuch Li very embarrassed, and he looked suspiciously at Xie Wenjing.

"My son, why don't you go to the inner palace with your father-in-law first, and after meeting the emperor, you can tell the emperor why you are in the mansion. This will also show that you are polite, okay?" Xie Wenjing sighed, facing the emperor's strength , had to bow his head.

"No, if you go, you won't come back. Grandpa Huang knows it all, but he still listened to those servants slandering me. If I don't go, I will learn by myself in the mansion. When my father comes back, my father will definitely agree with me. "The son is determined not to go, with a tough attitude, and there is no possibility of retreating at all.

Xie Wenjing looked at the gloomy Eunuch Li, and knew in her heart that she was going to be blamed this time, and the emperor must take her anger on her.

But the crown prince just decided that serving him was a waste of his time, and he had promised the crown prince yesterday that he would intercede with him. Now that he is like a bodhisattva crossing the river, he can't protect himself, and Eunuch Li's eyes can freeze.

"Eunuch Li, I wonder if I can follow you to see the emperor?" Xie Wenjing asked cautiously.

Although Eunuch Li was very busy, he still had to bring Xie Wenjing with him, otherwise he would not be able to do business.Xie Wenjing was taken by Eunuch Li to the tea room next to the imperial study to wait for the emperor to come and go.

The emperor is still in the Golden Palace at this time, and the prince is also there, but today the prince is extremely irritable, and his son is already a little bit out of order, and he is starting to lose energy. It was useless to go in.

But if he pays a little attention to that evil animal, it will arouse the vigilance of his father, so the prince's current mood is almost like a cat's paw.

"Reporting to the emperor, the prefects of Shaoxing and Jiaxing have seriously interfered with the lives of the people. They forced the local gentry to give up their land in order to survive under the pretext of checking the land. Many tenants were also forced to leave their homes. Such officials, under the name of Under the guise of serving the people, what he did was a crime of filling his own pocket. The gentry is the mainstay of my Da Zhou. If my Da Zhou gentry suffers such inhuman persecution but has nowhere to redress their grievances, I believe it will not be long. The Da Zhou gentry will surely The hearts of the people are not stable, and the introduction will definitely cause turmoil in the whole country. I also ask the emperor to severely punish such corrupt officials! Give an explanation to the gentry of the whole Zhou Dynasty!"

The officials stood up to impeach Xie Wenjing's father and third uncle. The two of them were ordered by the emperor to go to Jiaxing, Shaoxing, which is relatively affluent in the south of the Yangtze River, to check the fields and shops to increase tax revenue.

As a result, the investigation of local official and private land began, which aroused strong opposition from the local gentry. Most of the land in the hands of these people was the land of ordinary farmers who merged.

In order to effectively remove the water in the official farmland, the two brothers Xie Chengyu and Xie Chengyu discussed a countermeasure, which is to post a notice after they are familiar with the general affairs in office, explaining that they are the masters of the local people, and the government office can accept complaints every day, and promises that as long as the people have The case, the investigation and evidence collection, will be arranged by the government office.And all cases are openly heard, evidence is collected openly, and cases are closed openly.

In particular, it is noted that field disputes shall be heard in priority.In order to make it easier for the people to sue, a free lawyer was specially set up at the gate of the government office to write pleadings for the people and file lawsuits for the people for free.

In this way, there are indeed local people whose land has been usurped and sued the local landlords and gentry. These gentry who have annexed the land have accumulated for several generations. It can easily be thousands of acres, or even more than ten thousand acres.

When the gentry merged the land, they usually bought it at a low price, or even seized it by force. More often, their ancestors raised people to win the Jinshi, and then the neighbors put the land they owned under the name of the Jinshi in order to avoid national taxes. After a while, or after one or two generations, the descendants of Jinshi will no longer care about the verbal agreement made by their ancestors with their neighbors, and directly occupy the land of the neighbors, and the neighbors will become tenants.

This is a matter of no place to reason. Who let the ancestors of the neighbors covet a temporary tax exemption, and the result is that the descendants become tenants, and the land entrusted in the name of the person directly becomes someone else's. No.The verbal agreement between the villagers earlier has long since become empty.

When Xie Chengyu dealt with these cases and disputes, he found that these land mergers that were greedy for tax avoidance earlier were really difficult to judge. But after those gentry became stronger, the family children often had dudes who broke the law, so they took advantage of these dudes and bent the law to constantly investigate crimes extended to them.

As for the princelings, there are people who are watching Xie Chengyu and Xie Chengjin, waiting to catch their pigtails and use them to attack Xie Wenjing.
