different devil life

"My young master is lucky to have a crush on your daughter, get out!"

"Woooooo, father, mother..."

Wang Xiaoni cried like a tearful person, she was too weak and weak, she couldn't hold back these big men at all, and she was about to be arrested.

And the so-called Mr. Ye pointed at the middle-aged men and women arrogantly and shouted: "You still dare to fight with me? I won't rent the land to you next year. Let's see what you will do!"

Seeing this, Zhao Luan couldn't stand it any longer, "Sanggong..."

"I know, He Taigao."

"The old slave is here."

"In the name of the imperial envoy, arrest this kid and force him to ask whose heir he is, and why he is so ignorant."

"Old slave obey!"

A trace of viciousness flashed in He Taigao's eyes.

In the past, the emperor didn't care about the people's feelings, and as a dog slave, he also helped the emperor to do things wrong.

But now the emperor is wholeheartedly for the people, as a qualified dog slave, he naturally has to help the emperor wholeheartedly for the people.

Immediately, He Taigao walked over with two guards.

"boom!"

He Taigao grabbed Brother Young Master by the neck, and shouted: "The imperial envoy handles the case, and the idlers wait to get out of the way."

"Qin... imperial envoy!"

Young Master Ye's expression changed after being restrained: "My lord, is there a misunderstanding? My family is the Ye family, and my father is a well-known Ye landlord in the town. He has very close relations with several ministers."

"It's you who got caught."

He Taigao doesn't care who you know, he slashed down with his palm, knocking him out.

The rest of the dogs originally wanted to come to save people, but a few guards pulled out their swords on the spot, and these people were so scared that they didn't dare to move.

Afterwards, Wang Zhong asked the two guards to take the kid back first, and he led the others into the village.

"Wang Xiaoni, you are safe, don't be afraid."

Zhao Luan comforted Wang Xiaoni.

"Thank you sister, you are so kind." Wang Xiaoni said in fear.

"The imperial envoy is here, the imperial envoy is here..."

Suddenly, many people from the village came to see Wang Zhong.

How did they know that the Wang Zhong in front of them was the current emperor, but in their impression, the emperor was enjoying himself in the palace all day long, how could he come to their remote corner.

If it's the imperial envoy, it's better to say something.

"Caomin is the village head here, Wu Youyong, see the imperial envoy." The village head trotted over and quickly knelt down.

"You don't need to be too polite. It's freezing cold now. The emperor is worried that the people will suffer from the cold, so he specially ordered me to come and have a look. If you have any difficulties, just tell me." Wang Zhong said with a smile.

Because Wang Xiaoni's parents had just been rescued, they trusted Wang Zhong very much, and said to the villagers: "Yes, just now, the young master of the Ye family wanted to arrest my Xiaoni, and it was this master who saved us."

After being said so, everyone's eyes lit up, and they started talking to Wang Zhong one after another.

"My lord, the land rent is too expensive, and the harvest is not good this year, so the Ye family is forcing us to pay the rent."

"My house leaks wind and rain. I don't know how to survive this winter."

"My lord, this is my daughter, please take her in, she can do laundry and cooking..."

Chapter 636 The Way to Divide the Fields (Thanks Moonlight Little Wolf for rewarding 5500)

Wang Zhong did not expect that the people below had so many questions.

You must know that this is around the capital, so there are already many victims.

"Don't worry, everyone, I have already remembered your questions, and I will report them to the emperor later, and give you an explanation."

After leaving here, it was getting dark.

But Wang Zhong didn't go back, but found a nearby inn to stay.

In the next few days, Wang Zhong led people to walk around the nearby villages a few times, and went back after learning about the people's conditions.

After returning to the palace, the matter about Naye's family was investigated clearly.

In fact, it is easy to investigate. The Ye family is a well-known big landowner in that place, owning thousands of acres of fertile land.

Thanks to their wealth and wealth, the Ye family has friendship with many court officials.

Because the fertile land was excessively concentrated in the Ye family's hands, the surrounding people had no land to cultivate, so they could only rent his family's land to cultivate.

But in this way, in the event of disaster weather, the common people would not be able to pay the land rent with silver taels.

Even so, the Ye family took advantage of their power and forced the common people to pay rent, making the people resentful.

Knowing this, Wang Zhong's plan to divide the land became even stronger.

Afterwards, Wang Zhong called Zhao Luan and explained the plan.

"Divide the fields!"

After hearing Wang Zhong's words, Zhao Luan was very surprised: "Your Majesty, divide the land of the landlords, this will cause turmoil, and those big landlords may turn against..."

"I also know that there will be chaos, so I'm trying to find a way, how to divide it."

Wang Zhong stomped a few steps. In his impression, it was not the emperor's job to beat up the local tyrants and divide the land, because it would cause the situation to become unstable.

But if he doesn't do this, it will be difficult for him to improve his national power in the Great Yan Dynasty.

"By the way, Your Majesty, what do you do with the bully young master of the Ye family who was arrested that day?" Zhao Luan asked.

Wang Zhong's heart moved: "Yes, there is another him."

Wang Zhong suddenly laughed, "I know how to deal with those landlords."

"The emperor knows?"

Zhao Luan's eyes were wide open, obviously curious.

"Well, carrying out major land reforms will indeed easily cause chaos among the landlords. In this case, I will attack them one by one. Although this is a bit slower, it is safe."

Zhao Luan is a smart woman, when Wang Zhong said that, she knew Wang Zhong's intention instantly.

"Many of these landlords are secretly dirty. It would be really good if we could break through them one by one and clean them up one by one."

"Let's start with this...Young Master Ye."

At this moment in the Ye Mansion.

The Ye family has occupied this place for hundreds of years, and no one in the vicinity knows about it.

There are many heirs in the Ye family, some are talented, some have become petty officials, but more are unlearned and incompetent.

However, no matter how many unlearned and incompetent people do many bad things, the Ye family is still powerful, and even the nearby county magistrates are polite to them.

But today, everyone in the Ye family was facing a big enemy, especially Ye Zhongsu, the head of the Ye family, was listening to the news that the butler had inquired about.

"Master, young master was caught on the spot by the imperial envoy when he was robbing a civilian girl, and he was taken away at that time."

After so many days, the whereabouts of his youngest son was finally known.

Ye Zhongsu rubbed his forehead with a headache.

The youngest son was his favorite son, and he did not expect such a catastrophe to be caused to him.

If in the past, he entrusted a few senior officials he was familiar with, and let them go there to find people.

But not now.

Recently, the emperor has killed many corrupt officials, making the entire court turbulent, not to mention accepting bribes, but not even daring to take a sesame seed.

Let them hunt people, what do you think?

What's more, Ye Zhongsu didn't dare to catch people in this limelight, so he immediately said to the housekeeper: "Tell everyone in the family to come out, I want to announce something."

"Master, what's the matter?"

"I don't have this son in the future, so I will drive him out of the house."

"what!"

The housekeeper was stunned, but seeing the seriousness of the master, he knew it was the result of the master's careful consideration: "I'll make arrangements right away."

"Master, many officers and soldiers suddenly came outside the door."

At this moment, a servant came to report.

Ye Zhongsu's heart skipped a beat: "How many people?"

"There are quite a few of them, surrounding us here."

Ye Zhongsu's heart sank, "Follow me out to have a look."

Walking out the door, looking at the countless officers and soldiers, Ye Zhongsu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, for his son really got into trouble.

The leader was East Factory Superintendent Xie Jin, who glanced at Ye Zhongsu and said, "By order of the Emperor, our family is here to talk about something."

"I didn't know that my father-in-law was here, so please forgive me."

Ye Zhongsu kept his attitude very low, and quickly invited Xie Jin in.

After entering the room, Ye Zhongsu said to the servants: "Go and get the best tea."

"No need, Patriarch Ye, our family came here today to chat about something, we will leave after we agree."

"Please also tell me clearly, Ye Zhongsu, if I can do it, I will definitely help."

"Hehe, that's how it is. Your son has caused some troubles. Taking advantage of your Ye family's great fortune, he even forcibly robbed the women of the people."

"I heard about this, and I'm really ashamed, so I announced just now that he is no longer my son." Ye Zhongsu hastily expressed his opinion.

"It's a pity that it's too late, Patriarch Ye, but the emperor was furious, saying that your big family has a big family and a great career, and you have raised too many unfilial sons, so you ordered our family to come over and copy your house...... "

"What." Ye Zhongsu almost couldn't stand on his feet. After he was helped by his servants, he knelt down on the spot: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

"Patriarch Ye doesn't need to worry, the emperor is a wise king, and he also knows that it is not wise to rob the house for no reason, but now your son is causing great public outrage..."

Ye Zhongsu heard that there seemed to be room for change in Xie Jin's words, and quickly asked: "Please also remind me, my father-in-law, what should my Ye family do."

"You also know that apart from many corrupt officials not long ago, the current emperor, the people were very happy at first, but now that winter is coming, the weather is cold and the people's hearts are unstable. Originally, the emperor meant to raid the house, but fortunately he also Afraid of killing innocent people."

"Yes, yes, the emperor's kindness is great, and my Ye family will keep it in my heart, but what do I want my Ye family to do."

"For the emperor, it's enough to appease the people's grievances. With so much land in your Ye family, take out two-thirds of the area and give it to the people."

"what!"

Ye Zhongsu was stunned, and said with an ugly face: "This time two-thirds... But these lands are left by my ancestors of the Ye family."

"Hmph, the emperor has already checked. The land of the three generations of your ancestors is less than half now. It was collected from the common people little by little later. Do you think the emperor doesn't know? Now I will give you this way of life , It’s the emperor’s grace, otherwise, if there is public anger, don’t let the emperor refuse to show favor.”

"Elder-in-law, if the emperor can keep my Ye family's foundation, I, Ye family, would like to give the emperor millions of silver as a gift."

"Why? Want to bribe the emperor." Xie Jin sneered: "Forget it, the current emperor is dedicated to the people, if he wants your money, he can't take the land and distribute it to the people, do you know, if you are more careful, But don’t hang on to our family for not reminding you.”

"Okay, the emperor even brought you the map, hand over the land deed."

Xie Jin took out the map slowly and smiled at Ye Zhongsu.

The corner of Ye Zhongsu's mouth twitched. He wanted to refuse, but now a group of soldiers had surrounded his house. If he really broke his face and ransacked the house, it would be really troublesome.

"Patriarch Ye, why didn't you pick it up?" Xie Jin said leisurely: "Our family has to go back to return to the emperor's life, so don't make the emperor wait in a hurry."

"Eunuch, I... I see."

As the saying goes, an arm can't twist a thigh, Xie Jin has already talked about this, if he doesn't know the face, it will be troublesome.

Then, according to Xie Jin's map, Ye Zhongsu handed over two-thirds of the land deed.

"Thank you Patriarch Ye, our family will go back and return to the emperor, I must say something nice to you."

Ye Zhongsu pulled out an ugly smile: "There is Mrs. Lao."

"By the way, since you have handed over the land deed, return your precious son to you. The emperor has served him with food and drink these days, so he didn't make things difficult for him."
