Lonely non-good minister

The officials who were called in made a commotion, but no one stood up to complain. Instead, they all looked indifferent, and some of them looked at Song Yuan with a bit of resentment in their eyes.

One of the thin-faced men came out and asked directly: "Master Dai is upright and upright. He fulfills his duties for the sake of the people. How could he oppress and exploit us? I don't know where he is now?"

He didn't call Song Yuan by any name, and his tone was still so arrogant, Wei Yan and others were immediately enraged, and immediately wanted to teach him the rules.

Song Yuan stopped them in time, and Dai Mao almost deceived her. It can be seen that there is a bit of pretentiousness, and the fact that they burned the land deed and left in embarrassment made this group of people have no trust in them, and suddenly accused Dai Mao of embezzling nature. is not going to work.

It's a pity that she didn't have the patience to explain to this group of people in detail, and took out the arrest order from Tingwei's Mansion: "Dai Mao forged the title deed and falsely claimed that the land was recovered. Before thoroughly investigating this matter, all the officials involved are not allowed to leave the Yamen for half a step, and anyone who violates the law will be killed."

Looking at the large characters on the arrest warrant, the faces of the officials who were still suspecting that Dai Mao had been wronged suddenly changed drastically. They became agitated, and groups of people chattered, all frightened by the disaster that suddenly hit their heads arrive.

"I have already sent the forged title deed to Jingzhao. The one that Dai Mao ordered people to burn is just a pile of waste paper. Who is in charge of the title deed? Stand up!" Song Yuan looked at them with his hands behind his back.

Everyone looked at each other, and took two steps back tacitly, revealing three fair-faced officials. The three of them were terrified and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Forgive me, my lord. The land deed has indeed been handed over to Mr. Dai. He said he would let you have a look at it. The lower officials don't know where the land deed is now."

Wei Yan took out a fake land deed from his bosom, shook it out for them to take a closer look: "Who forged it? Tell me."

"The lower officials don't know." They denied it flatly.

Song Yuan was too lazy to babble, and looked at everyone: "You are protecting Dai Mao so much, how can you know that he is not in collusion with the party, come here, and hand over everyone to the officers and soldiers of the Tingwei Mansion. Before tomorrow evening, I want to know who forged the land deed. You have to know how many dirty things Zhaodi has hidden."

She only has the power of civil affairs, interrogation of officials is not within her scope, although it is okay for her to do it, but in the end there will be grounds for impeachment, so be cautious.

"My lord, please spare me." The others were scared now, begging for mercy nervously.

Song Yuan didn't want to listen to this group of people's chatter. She didn't believe that there were so many people in the entire yamen, so they didn't have sharp eyes to see clearly Dai Mao's hypocrisy. Since she wanted to hide it for Dai Mao, she would not show mercy.

The people from Tingwei's Mansion came soon, seeing the official uniforms on them was enough to make a group of officials terrified. After handing over and communicating with Wei Yan, the officers and soldiers of Tingwei's Mansion took the lead in interrogating the servants, and a round of punishment Come down and arrest four or five people who oppressed the common people and helped Dai Mao to work for the tiger. Although other people also got involved, it was not too much, so let them be spared for the time being, and ordered them to guard the officials and wait for the people in Tingwei's mansion one by one. Strictly examine the past.

That night, the screams from the direction of the prison didn't stop. Song Yuan flipped through the land deed rotation booklet he took from the warehouse, and silently counted how many fields Zhao's yamen had in their hands.

Wei Yan came in with the newly found brochure, seeing that she was reading it seriously, he couldn't help asking, "Master, do you think these people are all suspect?"

"The county guard and lieutenant in Zhaodi are nothing, and Dai Mao is here to cover the sky with one hand. Don't you think it's strange that these people eat so badly but don't complain?" Her train of thought stopped for a moment, and she pondered for a while before continuing to write.

Wei Yan thought about it seriously: "It's very strange. If the food is so bad, you can still have no complaints. What are they trying to do?"

"Have you investigated their origins?" Song Yuan lost her train of thought again, and she simply stopped writing and rested on the back of her chair: "I remember a few years ago, Mr. Zhu mentioned to me one of his neighbors, whose origin The family background of the common people is not rich. After studying for a few years, they are full of enthusiasm and want to serve the imperial court. Unfortunately, their luck is not good. The nobleman had discerning eyes and knew that he was definitely not a thing in the pool that was intended to be cultivated. He was ecstatic, grateful to the nobleman, and took up an official position with the nobleman. Suddenly one day the nobleman was accused of crimes, he did not hesitate to run around to avenge the nobleman, and begged Mr. Zhu, and Mr. Zhu helped him inquire carefully before he found out that the nobleman was corrupt and bribed, and he was able to hide it for so long without being caught. People's backstabs rely on giving favor to a group of people with lofty ideals who have nowhere to serve the country, and let them use them for themselves. Such people don't need to give them too much food, clothing, housing and transportation. Mr. Zhu's neighbor was also sent to prison, and he didn't realize how big a crime he had committed until he was about to die."

Wei Yan was stunned for a long time after hearing this: "Well, if he is really a talented person, wouldn't he be wronged to death?"

"Have you ever seen a person with real talent and knowledge who can be used to great advantage be fooled like this?" Song Yuan flipped through the booklet: "These are just fools who think they can be called kings after reading a few books." Forget it, where is there any free fruit in the world? When they help to make accounts and file files, they will not be able to see the tricks in it? I'm afraid more people will see it and don't say it, for fear of offending the nobles and destroying their future. It's not innocent."

Wei Yan fell silent, tidied up the booklets one by one, pricked up his ears to hear a few piercing screams, and simply sat down and helped Song Yuan search for the records.

There were not many people in Tingwei's mansion, but the efficiency was not bad. On the evening of the second day, all the confessed charges were sent to Song Yuan.

"These people concealed and falsely reported a lot of things for Dai Mao. This time it involves the field reform, Lord Tingwei has an order first. If it is related to the field reform, it will be handed over to the son for disposal, but the confession must be sent to Jingzhao."

Song Yuan took a closer look at the confessions, there were not many, only a dozen or so people, and the officers and soldiers of the Tingwei Mansion went through their confessions and questioned them one by one, digging out all the things they did.

Forging land deeds, creating yin and yang accounts, and looking at the statements in the confession, Song Yuan's heart was shocked, good guy, it's really not a small thing, how many heads should be filled in?

"The question is very clear. I have already figured out about the reform of the farmland, and I will not take care of other things." Song Yuan took the things in the confession firmly and returned them: "I don't know what Dai Mao will do. disposal?"
