Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 131
Since using the trick of issuing a notice, the speed of He Chou and the others' investigation of the fields has increased significantly.

At the end of May, He Chou returned with his people.

Because he checked the fields this time, he had a clear goal and only targeted the Wen family, so the local governments still cooperated. After all, He Chou still had a warrant from the general manager's office.

Although Yang Ming did not have the right to appoint and dismiss the governors and sheriffs within his jurisdiction, the county magistrate did. He could change the county magistrate at will, as long as he reported to the Ministry of Officials.

The file He Chou brought back was a large box. The Wen family's fourth house was in the Jiangling area, with a total of 760 square meters of land, or more than 6000 mu of land.

According to news from other prefectures and counties, the total number of acres should be [-], which is almost the largest landlord in the entire Jingzhou area.

Where did such a small writer come from so many places?Without a strong enough backer, how could they be so fat?
Yang Ming was almost certain that the Wen family farmed the land for the Han Palace.

Five thousand three hundred, this is 50 mu of land, which means that the prince can eat it.

Except for the fact that He Chou personally led people to check these fields in the Jiangling area, which is absolutely true, the other places only reported an approximate figure, that is to say, there is still water.

A prince ate so much, how much did they eat next, the governors and magistrates of various places?
No wonder Yang Yu is so excited, this half is 25 mu.

At first, when Yuan Wendu estimated about [-] Qing, Yang Ming didn't take it seriously, thinking that there could be so many, but now that he thinks about it, the real number is probably even more astonishing.

This is from top to bottom, people are regarded as fish and meat. It has only been 20 years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty.
Back then when Yang Yue confiscated Liu Chang's property, he only distributed a total of 50 mu of open field to Yang Ming. How does this compare with his family's [-] mu?

It's no wonder that in history, after the old father came to power, the position of the four chief executives would be dismissed, because the position's jurisdiction is too wide and the power is too great.

With such a thick file in front of Yang Ming, even if he was as bold as him, he didn't know what to do for a while.

Once people are sent to search, it will definitely be a shocking case, and it will definitely be heard by Datian. How can we get rid of Yang Liang by then?
If Yang Liang is not left out, there is no way to investigate this matter, because it will damage the image of the royal family and make people in the world think that their old Yang family is so greedy.

Did King Jin also occupy so many fields in Yangzhou?Are there so many kings of Shu in Yizhou?Everyone thinks in this direction.

"Call me Yang Yu and let him look at these files,"

Yang Ming asked people to move all the files to the inner courtyard and wait for Yang Yu.

Yang Yu came happily, he thought there would be good news, because his people had inquired, and the person sent by the general manager's office to check the fields had already returned.

But as soon as he entered the room, after seeing Yang Ming with an angry face, he felt that something was wrong.

"Brother Ming, what's wrong? Why are you unhappy?"

Yang Ming pointed to the opened box and said in a deep voice, "Look for yourself."

Yang Yu was stunned for a moment, moved a chair and sat down by himself, picked up the file and read it slowly.

As time passed, Yang Yu's face became more and more ugly.

Five thousand three hundred?
These bastards actually occupy so much land?And what they handed over to Hanwang Mansion every year was less than one thousand Qing rent?
Father Wang naively thought that he took [-]% and the Wen family only kept [-]%.

This is my father's money!
If you take four thousand and give us one thousand, why do you expect us to protect you?
With a "snap", Yang Yu ruthlessly threw the file back into the box, pacing back and forth in the room angrily,

"Moths! They're all moths, they're all dogs that eat people and don't spit out their bones!"

"Kill! You can't keep it, these people must be killed!"

Pretend, why are you pretending again?Yang Ming sneered and said, "How to kill? Come on, come on, you teach me how to kill?"

Yang Yu's face flushed with anger, and after sitting down, he panted and said:

"We are a family, and I will not hide it from you. From the beginning to the end, my father only knew that the Wen family had fourteen to five hundred people. many."

As he said that, Yang Yu was afraid that Yang Ming would not believe him, so he patted his chest and said, "Heaven and earth conscience, if I lie to you, I will not be able to return to Jinyang, and I will drown in the Han River."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be lying, Yang Ming pondered for a while and said, "Then look, how to solve this matter?"

"My father must be taken out!" Yang Yu hurriedly said.

Yang Ming broke out: "Aren't you talking nonsense? The key is how to pick it? A small writer, who gave them the courage to occupy so many fields, and who is the backer? Is it you or me?"

"This..." Yang Yu also panicked.

Without a backing, can the Wen family occupy so many fields?This is 50 mu. If this matter is brought up, just kill a writer, will the higher-ups recognize it?It's not easy to fool the Ersheng with the gangsters in the court.

Especially when all states and counties in Jingzhou are involved, officials from all over the country will inevitably be implicated. From this point of view, this matter really cannot be investigated any further.

So Yang Yu leaned in front of Yang Ming and whispered:

"Big things are turned into small ones, and small things are turned into small ones. The Wen family can only deal with it behind their backs, and can't say anything about it. This matter is too involved. If it is too involved, the resistance will be great. Brother Ming, let's take a moment and let us brothers discuss a countermeasure. .”

Yang Yu no longer cares about whether he can divide half of the land. He only cares about how to take out the Han Palace. Although Yang Ming and himself are cousins, they belong to two families after all, and his father is now the prince, suppressing him. The father and the king have one head.

And this kid has never given himself face, don't think he can sit down and talk with him now, he can turn his head and turn his face against you.

He was also afraid that Yang Ming would use this incident to throw shit on his father's face.

And Yang Ming also agreed with the other party's point of view, this matter really shouldn't be a big deal.

Five thousand Qing, if it is one thousand Qing, he can make the decision himself, kill him if he kills, and the governors of the states and counties will not be implicated.
However, the amount of [-] Qing was too large, and he had to report it. Once he reported it, more people would be involved, and the matter would not be able to be done.

After thinking about it, Yang Ming said, "How about this, I'll send someone to get the land deed, and you can handle the rest by yourself."

"Understood!" Yang Yu was overjoyed immediately: "But this time I came to Jiangling, I only brought two hundred people with me, and there is no one under my command."

Yang Ming said: "I'll give you a transfer order from the General Manager's Mansion, you can go to the Jiangxia Hussar Mansion to borrow troops."

"It's okay, I'll go today," Yang Yu really couldn't wait, he wanted to solve this matter as soon as possible.

Three days later, at midnight.

The five hundred soldiers of the General Manager's Mansion were all armed. Under the leadership of Pang Ben, they broke into all the mansions of the Wen family's fourth house, holding the search order of the General Manager's Mansion in their hands, and confiscated all the land deeds of the Wen family. No one was injured in the whole process. .

Wen Hui was completely dumbfounded.
King Xuancheng of Hanwang Mansion is here, why is the matter still unresolved?How did you take away the title deeds?
No, I'm going to see King Xuancheng.

As soon as he got out of the gate, Wen Hui was stunned. His mansion was surrounded by guards holding torches, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

So he shouted: "I am the captain of Jiangling County, and I have official duties to report to the King of Hedong."

The guard at the door sneered and said, "If you step with your left foot, I will cut off your left foot. If you step with your right foot, I will cut off your right foot. Try it."

Wen Hui was stunned, quickly changed his face, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask this military master, when can I go out?"

"Hurry up, wait," the guard was obviously a little impatient, and waved his hand to signal the other party to go back.

The situation of the other families of the Wen family is roughly the same. The land deeds have been confiscated, and entry and exit are not allowed.

Next, the south gate of Jiangling suddenly opened, and more than 2000 masked people in black swarmed in. Under the guidance of Yang Yu's men, these people went to each house of Wen's house.

Yang Ming had confessed that women and children were not allowed to touch them.

but it is not the truth.

Yang Yu wanted to kill the grass and roots, but he didn't take Yang Ming's words to heart. In his opinion, killing some women and children was not a big deal.

After these men in black arrived, the guards of the general manager's mansion would withdraw, and the rest was Yang Yu's business.

That night, Jiangling County was on fire.

The county government office urgently dispatched water trucks to put out the fire, and the entire county was in chaos.

And the soldiers from Jiangxia Hussar's Mansion also went out of the city overnight and returned to their station.

The fire could not be extinguished, and it burned for a whole night, and there was still a thick cloud of smoke floating in the sky above Jiangling County.

Chancellor's Office,
Hearing a crisp "pa", Yang Ming slapped Yang Yu hard on the face,

"You ignored my words?"

Murong Sanzang, the prefect of Jiangling, came here just now, and the fourth wife of the Wen family didn't leave a single one alive, so there should be four thousand dead.

In one night, 4000 people died, half of whom were women, children and children.

Not the Virgin of Yang Ming, this is the Great Sui Dynasty, a feudal dynasty, which spared the lives of women, children and children, and there was nothing wrong with it.

They can neither petition nor think about revenge, but only think about how to live in the future.

In the early years of Emperor Kaihuang, Yang Jian ruled the world with benevolence, amended the law, and the common people committed crimes, and the sentencing was much lighter than that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the Southern Chen Dynasty, just to win the hearts of the people.

He also didn't expect that Yang Yu did such a terrific thing, that he would directly kill his family.

After receiving such a slap in the face, Yang Yu was also stunned, didn't you tell me to finish it?

Isn't my finish pretty enough?

The wood is done, and Yang Ming has nothing to say:
"Go away, go back to your Jinyang."

Yang Yu gritted his teeth, scolded Yang Ming and his family all over in his heart, and left with an expression of disbelief.

He didn't dare to fight back, Yang Ming's status was much higher than him.

This fire will eventually be attributed to the fact that there was no rain in January, the sky was dry and things were dry, and the writers used fire improperly.

What a coincidence, in the entire Jiangling County, the writers used improper fire.

Although not many people will believe such an excuse, the common people don't know it. The Yamen is just using this excuse to file a record, and they will not explain to the common people what is going on.

The people can let it go, but they can't make it known.

So in the past few days, there have been rumors and rumors, and there are people who say that they saw a fire dragon that night and spewed fire at Wen's house.

Yang Ming, on the other hand, was also reflecting on himself, and he had to be cautious in using the power in his hands in the future.

Because his words and actions can lead to the destruction of many people.

If you do not respect life, life will not respect you.

If Comrade Yang Guang knew this truth, the Sui Dynasty would not perish.
