Song Mian nodded and sighed: "Wei Gong also needs evidence to be justified. After all, these people have deep backgrounds, and Lu Linghao even has a close relationship with the palace servants."

"Is it possible that the evidence has been destroyed by them? Since the officiant has escaped, is he afraid that he will not come back?"

Guo Wanjin... will be a breakthrough." Song Mian said: "After the incident, I thought about it for a long time. Among these colluders, Guo Wanjin is the easiest to take down."

I heard that he is a relative of the Taiyuan Guo family and Guo Shunyi, the biological mother of King Yong."

"They are just relatives from a hundred years ago." Song Mian said: "Xue Lang knows that there are six wealthy people in the Tang Dynasty, Ren Lingfang, Ren Zong, Yang Chongyi, Wang Yuanbao, Guo Wanjin, and Guo Xingxian."

Xue Bai said: "I've heard of Yang Chongyi."

Yang Chongyi was a wealthy man in Chang'an. His wife Liu, who was of great beauty, had an affair with a young man named Li Suan. The two of them collaborated to kill Yang Chongyi and buried him in a dry well. After Yang Chongyi disappeared, the Jingzhao Prefecture visited day and night and tortured the Yang family.

There were hundreds of people, but no clues could be found. Later, Jingzhao Mansion went to Yang's house to investigate.

There was a parrot in the hall shouting, "The person who killed the master of the house is Mr. Liu, Li Suanye." This incident alarmed Li Longji.

The parrot goose was raised in the palace and named the "Green Messenger". The prime minister at the time, Zhang Shuo, wrote the "Biography of the Green Messenger" to record the incident.

In order to relieve Li Longji's boredom, Yang Guozhong learned from Xue Bai in writing stories and found many literati to write "The Continuation of the Green Messenger". It tells the story of this parrot flying out of the palace, breaking into adultery everywhere, and assisting officials in solving cases.

The story is charming, strange, and suspenseful.... Xue Bai also watched it.??????.?ｏ

I don’t know, after Yang Chongyi’s death, hundreds of members of the Yang family were tortured, and in the end, to whom did countless family property fall?

"In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, the imperial court investigated illegally minted copper coins and confiscated the wealthy Ren Lingfang, and obtained more than 600,000 yuan, equivalent to one-third of the imperial court's annual rent." Song Mian said: "It can be seen that the imperial court is able to move

, and are willing to touch these businessmen who are rich and unkind."

Xue Bai understood what Song Mian meant. People at that time despised merchants, so he should investigate Guo Wanjin first, which would make it easier to get support from the court, and then implicate Lu Linghao and others through Guo Wanjin.

He nodded and asked: "Mr. Song said that they are rich and unkind, but what do they know?"

Song Miandao said: "Guo Wanjin's branch has been ruined for a long time. He became a monk in his early years. At that time, Empress Wu was still in the imperial court, and Buddhism was at its peak. The imperial court granted temple official land to support orphans. Guo Wanjin started his business by selling orphans from nursing homes.

It would not be an exaggeration to call it full of evil.

I stayed at Luhun Villa for one night and felt the leisure and tranquility of mountain residence. Unfortunately, Xue Bai was not a person who enjoyed the mountains and rivers easily, so he left and returned to Yanshi County the next day.

After all, Song Mian knew everything and said everything he could.

"Mr. Yin, please wait."

Before leaving, Song Mian called Yin Liang again, picked up a scroll from the tray in the servant's hand and handed it over.

"This is?"

"Mr. Zhi Yin likes to collect epigraphic rubbings. This is "Inscriptions on Epigraphy" compiled by my uncle.

Among them are ten rubbings of King Zhou Xuan’s "Hunting Jie"."

"real?!"

The so-called epigraphy is to study the bronzes and stone carvings of the pre-Qin period, to verify the inscriptions and records on them, and to verify the scriptures and supplement the history. Nowadays, this is only a very small hobby.

Yin Liang really likes gold and stone. Every time he sees any ancient ruins, he wants to dig them out. Now that he has arrived in Yanshi, he has been thinking about looking for the ancient ruins of the Shang Dynasty if he has time. Today, Song Mian’s gift is really a gift. It reached his heart.

Xue Bai accepted it without hesitation, but once again looked at the plains at the foot of the mountain, and asked: "By the way, how many fields does Luhun Villa have? Is it a thousand hectares?"

Song Mian was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "No, it's just the mountains and fields on the roadside for twenty miles after entering the mountain.

Including some fields at the foot of the mountain, there are more than 200 hectares.

"I see, I was rude.

Xue Bai took the liberty of asking about other people's wealth, which was indeed a bit rude, and Song Mian had to explain a few more words.

The Song family has a good reputation and is different from those high-ranking families who oppress the common people. With more than 200 hectares of land, the tax revenue has never been large, and donations are endless every year. Xue Lang found out after checking it. "

It was already evening when Xue Bai returned to Yanshi County Office from Luhun Villa.

The county officials did not expect that he would come back after staying only one night in the villa, and were caught off guard.

The whole novel ????????????.????

"Zhao Liu."

Just as he was thinking of Liu Cao reporting the news, Zhao Liu, the gatekeeper, heard a shout and stopped helplessly,

With a smile on his face, he said: "The county captain is back?"

"Why did you run when you saw me?"

"No, I didn't see the county captain."

Xue Bai asked: "I didn't see the Seyong Book and Qingmiao Book in Hucao the day before yesterday. Where are they?"

Zhao Liu made a sad face and said: "You have to ask Cao Sun, the chief minister, about this matter. I don't know this."

"Where is Principal Sun?"

“Not at the county office.”

Xue Bai suddenly asked: "Are you literate? It is said that you can also plan, why are you just a janitor?"

Zhao Liu scratched his head and said: "Isn't this young man still young? In terms of seniority, he has to wait until the end."

Even though he is an official, he actually knows how to get out of trouble.

Xue Bai said: "Since I took office, I have hardly seen Mr. Sun. This person's corpse is in a state of plain food. How about you being the chief of household Cao?"

Zhao Liu was startled and said in panic: "The county lieutenant should not joke with the villain. The villain is from Yanshi.

I will have to die in Yanshi."

The current meaning is that Xue Bai will leave sooner or later, and he will never be won over by Xue Bai.

"What's the point of dying in Yanshi?" Xue Bai asked: "Don't you want to take your old mother and disabled brother to Chang'an to do something?"

"Villain.

Zhao Liu changed his face in shock and ran away in a hurry, fearing that someone would see him murmuring privately with the county captain.

Xue Bai didn't take it seriously. He returned to Weijie and recruited Xue Xin.

Where are the books I brought back the day before yesterday?"

"Brother, they took advantage of your absence and took it away."

"Where's the luck?"

Xue Xin immediately showed a sneaky smile and said: "I secretly followed over and took a look, and there was a big lock on the cabinet."

NN

"mum!"

With a loud noise, Jiang Hai grabbed a sledgehammer, knocked off the lock of the cabinet, and pushed open the door.

Xue Bai didn't care about the two watchmen next to him who were so anxious that they were about to cry, and walked in with Yin Liang.

The cabinet library is right next to the warehouse. There are stacks of books and large boxes containing thousands of volumes. Without more talented people who are proficient in arithmetic, it is obviously impossible for just two people to check them all.

And the really important things will not be placed here.

However, what Xue Bai wants to verify is very simple...

"What is the county lieutenant doing?"

Not long after, Guo Huan was indeed alarmed, but he still had a smile on his face. "If the county lieutenant wants to read the book, just say so. Why bother breaking the lock?'

Since taking office, Xue Bai has been talking about it for half a month, and the staff have made various suggestions. Now he really broke the lock and said, "Just say it."

Xue Bai did not reveal the truth and asked: "I want to check the land area and household registration in the county. Why can't I find the records in recent years?"

"The latest young crops are here."

"This was built in the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan and the twenty-seventh year of Kaiyuan. The county is still collecting taxes based on the acres of land more than twenty years ago and the household registration more than ten years ago? Tang law stipulates that registration should be made every three years."

Guo Huan said: "Yes, but the county lieutenant is responsible for collecting taxes. I'm afraid I should ask the county lieutenant Wang about this matter.

It’s a pity that he committed suicide out of fear of crime.”

Xue Bai then opened the book of young crops from the 15th year of Kaiyuan, and saw that Xingfu Temple and Yaowang Temple each had ten hectares of farmland, and another ten hectares of official farmland were used to support sick foxes.

The number of acres of Luhun Villa is indeed recorded as two hundred hectares.

As long as the property is not registered in the household register, no one can prove that someone has embezzled the property of the people.

"In that case." Xue Bai put down the book in his hand and said, "How about I measure the acres in Yanshi County again?"

The smile on Guo Huan's face froze slightly, and then he agreed directly.

"Okay, the county captain is so dedicated to his official duties, I will fully cooperate...

OR

A watchman hurriedly left the county office, went out to the south to Yingxian, arrived at the dock, and entered a warehouse.

"Where's your handsome guy?"

Several people were gambling money in the warehouse, and one of them, a big one-eyed man, looked at the wheat straw in his mouth and casually responded: "Supervise the goods personally, we will soon reach the Yellow River."

After saying that, he turned around and looked around. There was a dirty child outside looking at a merchant, and he cursed: "You little bird, move one and see!"
