"Mother-in-law, I know what to do. Please go back to the inner courtyard to rest. It's a rare visit, but don't get angry."

As a county magistrate, Magistrate Zheng could only talk to his mother-in-law in such a low voice.

Chief Wang looked on and felt angry. The Zhao family was really unreasonable.

Before, he thought the county magistrate's wife was a bit overbearing, but now it seems that she is probably the most sensible person in the Zhao family.

Mrs. Zhang said, "When I asked the third child to come to your place and ask you, my brother-in-law, to take care of you, I trusted you. You are sorry for our trust. If you don't want the third child to have an easy time here, just say so. I will let you He went to join his second brother-in-law."

The Zhao family had some good fortune in the early years, but it has become worse and worse in recent years. If Magistrate Zheng hadn't owed them a debt, there would be no need to take this family to heart now.

Zhang just used her original kindness to manipulate him, knowing that he cared about his reputation. This trick worked repeatedly.

Magistrate Zheng wished that his brother-in-law would leave quickly and stop embarrassing him.

But he only said kindly and calmly, "I understand, mother-in-law, please calm down."

After finally convincing him to leave, Magistrate Zheng rubbed his brows and said, "I made you laugh."

Master Wang said, "Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite, and it's not easy for adults either."

Magistrate Zheng sighed. He had become accustomed to it over the years. If he was given another chance, he would starve to death...

Forget it, even if it happened again, he would still choose to please the Zhao family so that he could survive. This grievance was nothing.

"Please help me think carefully about how to handle this matter more appropriately. My mother-in-law is not easy to deal with, and the Ye family's business cannot continue."

I just don't know what kind of crime Luo Zhi should be charged with. You can't just let people close the duck house for no reason. It won't stand up if it is spread like this.

Now is the critical time for evaluation, and no one can grab any leverage at this time.

It is important to satisfy his mother-in-law, but it is not as important as his official career.

So we have to think carefully about what crime to put on the Ye family.

It is not easy to get things done while maintaining one's official reputation.

Master Wang also felt embarrassed. The Ye family did business honestly and the prices were reasonable. There was really nothing wrong with them.

But it was impossible not to find any problems at all. He thought about it and said, "It's best to start from the land."

Nowadays, only residential and cultivated land have obtained title deeds. There is a lot of land without clear purpose in Xiema Village. It seems that the land where the Ye family raises ducks does not have title deeds.

Although this is the land in the village and can be used, if they really care about it, the Ye family will definitely be at a disadvantage.

Magistrate Zheng nodded, "I knew it was right to discuss it with you, so that's what I'll do. Arrange to clean up the Ye family's duck house. If we can't get the land deed document, let them close the duck house."

If they raise so many ducks, their own land will definitely not be enough. As long as this threat is used, the Ye family will be unable to resist.

Chief Wang responded and said before going out, "My lord, please think carefully. This is deliberately looking for trouble. The Ye family is probably aware of it."

"I heard that General An was responsible for winning the war with Shu. General An arranged for the Ye family to come here. If it really has anything to do with it, this..."

Magistrate Zheng really didn't want to offend the Ye family or make enemies for himself.

But now I don’t care about that much, let’s solve the immediate trouble first.

"Let's settle the matter first. Let my mother-in-law go back to General An early. Let's talk about it then."

They only speculated that the Ye family had a relationship with General An, which was not yet certain. The Ye family had gone to Xiema Village before and had not seen General An have any objections.

But his mother-in-law is really in trouble. If this continues, he won't be able to go out.

After the Ye family learned the identity of the troublemaker, they felt very uneasy.

After waiting at home for several days, Ye Hongchang did not go into the mountains to hunt. Unexpectedly, a group of government officials arrived, and he bowed his hands in greeting, "May I ask what you, the officials, do for you?"

He had a guess in his mind that these people should be coming for the duck house.

The leading yamen servant said, "Are you Ye Hongchang?"

"Exactly." Ye Hongchang agreed.

The Yamen servant said, "The Yamen received a report that you were occupying court land to run private businesses. Today we are here to verify. Did you run a duck house?"

Ye Hongchang said truthfully, "It is true, but it uses the land of Xiema Village and does not occupy other people's land."

His heart skipped a beat. Magistrate Zheng had indeed used this to pressure them, making Xiangxiang right.

The Yamen servant said, "I'm talking about your private use of court land. When did you say you were using someone else's land?"

"Since someone has reported it, the Yamen must verify it clearly. Does the land you occupy have a title deed?"

Of course there is no such thing.

It is not farmland, nor is it residential, and no title deed has been processed.

Before preparing to set up a duck house, Ye Hongchang went to the Yamen to ask, but he did not get any specific regulations.

It’s just that measuring mountains, forests and wild lands is troublesome, and it takes a long time to get the title deed.

Ye Hongchang asked Chen Guangyao again. There was no title deed for the land by the river before, but no one used it.

At that time, in the rush to build the duck house, this point was ignored. Now that Magistrate Zheng is talking about this, the matter is a bit difficult to solve.

Even if you propose to apply for a land deed at this time, it will not be that simple, so there is no need to try this method.

Ye Hongchang said, "We have settled here not long ago, and we haven't had time to apply for the land deed yet."

Just like that day, these people were also looking for trouble, but they found a reason.

Ye Hongchang couldn't do anything like that day, and he had to speak more politely.

An official of flowing water, an official of world guard.

Even if Magistrate Zheng is transferred, these people are still here, and it is best not to offend them.

The yamen officials were not surprised at all. They were here to make things difficult for the Ye family today, and of course they knew what the result would be.

"Humph, since there is no land deed, there is nothing to say. This is land invasion, and the duck house must be closed."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hongchang changed his expression. The duck house has now begun to take shape and everything is on track. It is a pity to close it like this.

The family had already discussed the rhetoric before. If the government really used this matter to make things difficult, then the whole village would be invited to testify.

This is the land of Xiema Village, which is shared by the villagers. Although the title deed has not been obtained, if the whole village has no objection, it may be able to continue to be used.

"Master, let's talk about this matter slowly. A lot of thought has gone into a good duck house, so we can't just shut it down."

Of course the yamen officer wanted to take the opportunity to ask for benefits, but this was the intention of the county magistrate. What he wanted was for the Ye family to close the duck house.

They don't have the courage to ask for benefits at this time.

The purpose of coming today is just to let the Ye family stop getting in the way and close the duck house obediently.
