"Master, Sun Huaguo was originally a small household in Guangning. After Sun Sheng passed the imperial examination, the village clinged to him and devoted hundreds of hectares of land to become a rich man in Guangning County. After the implementation of the new policy, Sun Sheng highly praised him and said that this move could solve the source of chaos for thousands of years. So he persuaded his father to distribute all the land he invested to the tenants through the county government. However, this move offended the Chen family, the Jiang family and the Wen family. These three families are a century-old family in Guangning. Each family has more than a thousand hectares of land, especially the Chen family. The land is nearly 3,000 hectares, and half of the shops in the county belong to his family. I heard that there are also transactions in Guangzhou." Chen Jitai whispered and reported the situation he was touched.

At this moment, a "bang" and "bang" sound came from outside, mixed with "Ouch" and "It hurts so much!" and then Jiang Ziqiao shouted in anger: "The bold thief! How dare you beat the official? Are you afraid of your life?"

Zhu Youlang's face was very calm and unmoved at all, but the flames in his heart were rushing, almost igniting his chest.

"Where is Sun Sheng now?"

"I was taken to the county jail for tax resistance. Sun Huaguo sold all his homesteads, dismissed all his slaves, paid a huge amount of taxes, and then managed to handle the situation, but he did not rescue his son. This inn is his last property, but he encountered a murder case. If he hadn't met his grandfather, he would have been eaten so much that he had no bones left."

From Chen Jitai's report, Zhu Youlang has basically figured out the truth about the so-called Sun Huaguo's unpaid taxes.

There is no doubt that this must be the three Chen, Jiang and Wen families who joined forces with the county magistrate Bi Kexing to frame Sun Huaguo and his son. Perhaps it was because the emperor canceled the favor of scholars and thought he would not like scholars anymore, so he dared to frame a juren so blatantly.

"Chen, Wen, did the Jiang family retreat or not?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"No."

"If there is no, the tenants will have to pay double taxes, one for the government and the other for the master's family. Wouldn't their lives be even worse?"

"I heard that there were several tenants in the Chen family who resisted the tenant, but the family was beaten to death by the evil servants of the Chen family, and the others would never dare to make trouble again."

Hearing this, Zhu Youlang could no longer hold it back and slapped the table with a "slap": "Guangning is so close to Guangzhou, it can be said that it is at the feet of the emperor. Bi Kexing is so blatant to deceive the emperor and the people! What did Huang Zongxi do for food? Is Sun Guonan blind? How did Qu Shixi, the Minister of Personnel? Xuesong immediately ordered the three of them to go to Guangning, Zhongyong Bo, and ordered people to lock Bi Kexing and Chen, Jiang and Wen families immediately, and let Sun Sheng and his son come out to see me!"

"Abide by the order!" Chen Jitai and Gu Yanwu saw that the emperor had revealed his identity, hurriedly bowed to receive the order.

Chen Jitai turned around and walked out of the guest room. When he saw Bai Xing and Ah Hua fighting, he was excited. The constable came up and either pushed him down or kicked him down. He didn't take any heavy measures, so he just teased them.

"Bai Xing, Your Majesty has an order to take them all!" Chen Jitai said desperately.

"Abide by the order!" Bai Xing heard the emperor's order, and knew that he would no longer hide his identity. He turned around and shouted loudly to the outside: "Get together!"

"I'm here!"

With this shout, Wen Jin walked in from outside the store, and then all the guards rushed out from inside and outside the store.

"Take it!"

Bai Xing shouted, and the guards stepped forward and knocked all ten constables to the ground in just a few seconds. Jiang Ziqiao was also slapped by Wen Jin.

"Your Majesty's oral orders, immediately lock up the heads of Guangning County Magistrate Bi Kexing, Chen, Jiang and Wen families, release Sun Huaguo and Sun Sheng, and order their father and son to come and meet you!" Chen Jitai said loudly.

"Abide by the order!" Wen Jinling led some guards to the order.

"Emperor?..." Jiang Ziqiao rolled his eyes and fainted when he heard this.

...

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Although Bi Kexing is hateful, he has no evidence of corruption and abuse of power. Besides, there is no case for a dead body in Sun Hua's house. Your Majesty, do you think about it again?" Gu Yanwu felt that it was inappropriate for the emperor to convict Bi Kexing just based on the information Chen Jitai asked for. Seeing Zhu Youlang's face turned blue and he kept walking back and forth in the room. Although he was afraid that the emperor would get angry, if he knew that the emperor was wrong and did not correct him, then what kind of loyal minister would he be? Therefore, after finishing the drafting, he still gritted his teeth and made suggestions.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youlang stopped, pondered for a moment, sat back on the chair, and smiled: "Cedar reminds me that it seems that my ability to control my anger is not enough."

After a pause, Zhu Youlang continued, "Although there is no real evidence, I have confirmed that Bi Kexing's designation cannot be clean. Sun Huaguo's father and son strongly support my new policy. How can Bi Kexing not know? Why did he come out to resist taxes? Besides, Sun Sheng has been imprisoned, and dead bodies appeared in Sun Guohua's room for no reason, clearly wanting to destroy the Sun family. Not to mention the defeat of other people's family business, they also have to kill them. Needless to say, the mastermind behind the scenes, the three major families cannot be separated. If Bi Kexing does not join forces with them, that would be a strange thing."

"Of course, your reminder is correct. Whether it is Bi Kexing or the three major families, they must be punished according to the national laws. Since they are based on the national laws, they must be given evidence and cannot be convicted because of my conjecture. Indeed, this precedent cannot be opened." Zhu Youlang said.

"Your Majesty is wise." Gu Yanwu's words are sincere. The emperor can quickly adjust his emotions and understand his painstaking efforts, which is indeed what the wise ruler does.

"Bai Xing, go and pass on my oral orders. Don't lock up Bi Kexing and bring him. In addition, capture Gan Shu and the clerk in the shop." Zhu Youlang called Jin Bai Xing and ordered.

"Abide by the order." Bai Xing agreed and left.

"Cedar, I am so sad. The reason for implementing the new policy is actually to eradicate the source of chaos. I am not absent from private property, and I admit that all gold, silver, treasures, and shops are all accepted, and they are also protected. But the land cannot be privatized. If we continue according to the ancestral system, if the land annexation trend is not eliminated, the land will not be eliminated, and the people will rebel sooner or later. The reason for implementing the new land policy is to force the landlords to take out the land, increase the annual income of the imperial court, and reduce the burden on the ploughers. With this in Guangning County, the annual income will probably increase, but it will increase the burden on the ploughers. Isn't it completely different from my original intention? In this case in Guangning, other places should not be optimistic." Zhu Youlang said angrily.

"Your Majesty, I now understand the profound meaning of the emperor's private visit. If I hadn't visited Guangning in person, how could I see so many disadvantages? Also, I think the implementation of the new policy is still a bit hasty. The most critical point is that the officials who implement the new policy still do things according to the old charter, and the people-oriented governance idea cannot be implemented, and Your Majesty's virtue of loving the people will be difficult to spread the whole world."
