Everyone had a happy breakfast and went away busy.
Gu Fei drove a donkey cart to the county government.
First, he went to meet the county magistrate and told the other party about Yang Shucun.
After hearing this, Zhong shuran immediately ordered four constables to go to Yangshu village and catch sun Ding, the village head of Yangshu village.
Sun Ding didn't know why he would be arrested. When he went to court and saw Gu Fei standing next to him, he immediately understood everything.
He shouted angrily, "you have beaten the people in Yangshu village. Isn't that enough? You're going to sue me to the county government. Are you going to compare me to a dead end? I tell you, if I can't live, I won't make your family better! "
Gu Fei looked at him coldly and ignored his clamor.
Zhong shuran clapped a startling picture and shouted, "silence! This is the court, not your Yangshu village. No one is allowed to speak here without the official's permission, otherwise he will be punished for roaring in the court! "
Sun Ding was so frightened that he quickly confessed his mistake and begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, it's the grass people's mistake. Please forgive the grass people."
Zhong shuran let go of the shock. At this time, he was wearing official clothes and a black hat. He sat upright in the court. He changed his usual cordial and easygoing, expressionless and looked full of dignity.
He stared at Sun Ding's face and said in a deep voice, "is it true that Gu Ju sued you for leading hundreds of people in Yangshu village to seize his land?"
Sun Ding was seen as extremely guilty and subconsciously wanted to deny it.
But before he could speak, he heard the county magistrate warn.
"I already have personal and material evidence. If you dare to deceive me, I will let you punish me immediately!"
As soon as sun Ding's knee softened, he knelt down directly: "spare your life, county Lord. The 70 mu good land has always been rented by the villagers of Yangshu village. Many people in our village live on the 70 mu land. Now those fields have been rented to others by Gu Ju people, and the people in our village can only starve to death. We have no choice but to intercede with Gu Ju, but Gu Ju refused to change his mind. On impulse, we thought of taking the land, so that the people in our village can have land to grow and don't have to starve to death. "
As he spoke, he wiped his tears and looked really pathetic.
Zhong shuran was not at all soft hearted, and his tone was still severe: "if the people in your village really have no land to plant, why not reclaim the wasteland? I remember there are many wastelands near Yangshu village, right? According to the law of this dynasty, there is no need to pay land tax for the first three years when the wasteland is reclaimed. That is to say, as long as you reclaim the wasteland, all the grain planted in the first three years belongs to you. Can you starve you to death? "
Sun Ding choked and couldn't answer.
Zhong shuran's eyes were as sharp as an eagle: "you're just trying to justify your crime of forcibly occupying other people's land! Somebody, ask him to sign a pledge and send him to corvee for three months! "
Sun Ding hurriedly begged for mercy: "the grass people know their mistake and beg your grace!"
"If you talk nonsense again, I'll let someone open your mouth!"
Sun Ding immediately shut up and dared not make any more noise.
The Yamen put the confession in front of sun Ding, asked him to sign and draw a pledge, and then dragged him down.
Zhong shuran finished the case and announced his withdrawal immediately.
When Gu Fei was about to leave, Zhong suddenly called him.
"Gu Ju, please slow down. I have something to discuss with you."
Gu Fei followed him away from the court and went to the study.
Zhong Shu asks him to sit down and asks pumpkin to serve him tea.
At this time, he was not in the court. Zhong shuran resumed his cordial and easygoing in the past. He leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "the HKCEE will be in two months. When does Gu Ju Ren plan to leave for Bianjing to take the exam?"
But Gu Fei said, "I'm not going to take the HKCEE."
Zhong shuran was very surprised: "why?"
"I have no intention of an official career. I just want to stay in Yunshan village and live a safe and stable life with my family."
Zhong shuran was more and more puzzled: "since you are not interested in being an official, why do you want to study and take part in the imperial examination?"
"Reading is to be literate and reasonable, and taking the imperial examination is to test a person, so as to reduce taxes and corvee for the family."
Zhong shuran: "
For the first time, he heard people speak so grounded about the reasons for taking the imperial examination.
Although he still couldn't understand Gu Fei's choice, everyone had their own aspirations and couldn't force it, so he didn't mention the HKCEE anymore, but talked about another thing.
"Since you don't want to take the HKCEE, why don't you come and be my teacher? I happen to lack a capable master here. You are very suitable. "
Gu Fei neither refused nor accepted, but calmly asked, "how much is the master's monthly money?"
Zhong shuran: "
He squeezed out a dry smile with difficulty: "it hurts our feelings to talk about money just because of our friendship? Just do me a favor! I'll invite you to dinner later and thank you very much! "
Gu Fei smiled: "you still owe me fifteen Liang silver before. When are you going to pay it back?"
Zhong shuran forcibly changed the topic: "drink tea, let's drink tea!"
With that, he picked up the tea and began to pretend to drink tea.
Gu Fei said, "when I came to the county government this time, in addition to dealing with the affairs of Yangshu village, I also came to receive the grain report."
Zhong shuran was particularly unhappy: "your family is so rich. Do you still lack this grain?"
"My family is not short of food, but who will think there is too much food?"
Zhong shuran was silent again.
Yes, everyone will have too much food, and so will he.
He cleared his throat, tried to pretend to be natural and said, "our county government doesn't have much money now. Can you owe the grain this month and exchange it with the fifteen Liang silver later?"
Gu Fei shook his head: "no, as the saying goes, it's not difficult to borrow and repay. You haven't settled your old accounts yet. How can you owe new accounts? How can you give me fifteen liang of silver and grain? "
It is well founded and cannot be refuted.
Zhong shuran hurriedly said, "wait a minute, let me calculate."
A month's grain is 50 kilograms of grain, that is, two stones of grain. The market price of one stone of grain is one or two silver, that is, a month's grain is worth two silver.
Before two liang silver and fifteen Liang silver, it is clear at a glance which is more important or less important!
Zhong Shu ran quickly made a choice: "I'll let someone bring you food!"
Gu Fei said, "thank you."
The Yamen brought in fifty kilograms of grain.
Gu Fei picked up two sacks of grain and was ready to leave. Zhong Shu did not give up and asked, "do you really not consider becoming a teacher for me? Although I don't have money now, when I make money in the future, I can double your salary! "
"Thank you for your love. There are so many things in my family that I can't take the post of master. There are many talents in Jiuqu county. Master Xian is easy to choose, and I'm sure I can choose the right master."
