After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 460: Don’t Implicate Me If You Want to Die

As soon as these words came out, Chief Steward Yan felt that the ten unstamped land deeds in his hand were extremely hot.

County Magistrate Feng was also greatly shocked and secretly angry... Guan Annong's arrival was too coincidental, he might have come specifically to arrest him!

The clerk Guan glanced at the slightly thick deed in the hand of Chief Steward Yan, his heart boiling with anger. He moved his hand and snatched the deed away. When he saw that it had not been stamped with the official seal yet, his anger subsided a little.

Yan Dazongguan was furious: "Guan Shuli, how dare you snatch the Yan family deed?"

The clerk's face darkened, and County Magistrate Feng quickly rebuked Chief Steward Yan: "It's not even the official seal, so it's still your Yan family's mountain!"

He then said, "General Manager Yan, please put your Yan family's purchase of the mountain on hold for now."

what?

Yan Dachang was stunned, cursing in his heart...Feng was too cowardly, so what if he stamped the seal on him first? Anyway, this kind of thing of snatching meat to eat is not the first time.

Even if County Magistrate Kang finds out about this later, he would just say a few words at most, and there would be no real punishment, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

In the past, County Magistrate Feng would indeed have done so, but because of what happened to Lichang Wu, County Magistrate Kang was already extremely dissatisfied with him. If he continued to help the Yan family grab resources so blatantly, County Magistrate Kang would probably not tolerate it.

And there is Guan Annong... His grandmother is unfathomable, and even County Magistrate Kang has to be polite to her, so it is better not to offend him in person.

"Mr. County Magistrate, Mr. Yan, since we have met, please follow me to meet Mr. County Magistrate and discuss the ban on buying mountains." Guan Shuli suddenly said.

This?

County Magistrate Feng had a feeling that this invitation was not a good one, but he still agreed: "Okay, we will go with the clerk to see Lord Kang."

If Guan Shuli complained, he could also defend himself in person.

Chief Steward Yan thought there was nothing wrong with seizing resources, and he needed a merit to gain face in front of his master, so he agreed: "Okay, let's go together... There are always reasonable people in the world."

Are you scolding the clerk for being unreasonable?

Guan Shuli said nothing, turned around and walked towards the office yard of County Magistrate Kang.

After the general amnesty, County Magistrate Kang was very diligent and would stay in the yamen for an extra hour. Therefore, when the clerks and others arrived, County Magistrate Kang was still there.

After the notification, he was quickly invited in.

The clerk did not waste any time and immediately told the court about the temporary ban on buying the mountain.

County Magistrate Kang frowned and glanced at Master Lu.

Master Lu understood immediately and said, "Clerk, according to Wei law, any land, house or shop can be sold and passed down. It is against the law to suddenly ban their sale."

The clerk explained the disadvantages of not temporarily banning the purchase of mountains, and finally said: "The nobles and officials are already well-dressed and well-fed, and the remaining scraps should be left for the common people... The nobles and officials have great power, so it is not too much to cut off their fingers to avoid greed. If they compete too much with the people for profit, it will only hurt the harmony of heaven and ruin their family."

When the last words came out, County Magistrate Kang and Master Lu were both stunned. After a while, they remembered that these were the words used by Emperor Mingqian of Wei to reprimand the founding dukes and marquises in the Golden Palace a hundred years ago.

County Magistrate Kang broke out in a cold sweat. He stood up hastily, bowed to the door, and said to the heaven and earth: "Your Majesty Emperor Ming Qian's teachings have always been kept in mind."

Chief Steward Yan: “…”

What is this play about?

Because Emperor Qian of Ming had been dead for so long, it took Chief Steward Yan a long time to think back before he remembered who Emperor Qian of Ming was, and that's why he didn't say anything.

The clerk also bowed to the outside of the door, and then continued to speak to County Magistrate Kang: "Sir, when Emperor Qian of the Ming Dynasty finished his reprimand, he asked the Ministry of Justice to add a criminal law on the spot... In order to prevent the loss of a large number of farmland, houses and shops, when local government offices encounter large-scale purchases of farmland, houses and shops, they can decide to suspend the sale of local farmland, houses and shops for a period of one year."

After the sale is stopped, the local government must report the abnormality step by step until receiving a reply from the capital.

This year is reserved for local government offices to report to the capital.

County Magistrate Kang smiled and finally said, "What the clerk said is quite right. Then we will handle it according to the criminal law... The whole county is prohibited from buying mountains for a period of one year."

County Magistrate Kang had no reason to refuse.

First, Guan Shuli did not use any power or means, he just said the Wei law, no one could accuse him of breaking the rules. Second, Emperor Wuxing hated the nobles and officials who took advantage of their power to rob the people of their resources... Old Lady Guan had a relationship with Emperor Wuxing's family, and the imperial edict team had just left not long ago, who knows if Emperor Wuxing's people had privately contacted Guan's family?

If he finds one and goes against Emperor Wuxing, he would be seeking death!

"Yes." Master Lu drafted the document on the spot and handed it to Magistrate Kang for review.

After reading it, County Magistrate Kang nodded and stamped the county seal. He then said, "Starting tomorrow, send the document to each town and inform the entire county to stop selling mountain land from now until the next year."

"Yes, I will see to it." County Magistrate Feng replied respectfully.

Chief Steward Yan was stunned... They really wanted to issue such a notice. Magistrate Kang wanted to be dismissed and sent back to his hometown by offending the nobles? !

County Magistrate Kang said to the clerk, "Tomorrow, I will report to the government office and ask them to stop selling the mountain."

Look, I'm very cooperative. I'm a loyal subject who only cares about Your Majesty. If Your Majesty sends someone to see your grandmother, your family must say a few good words for me.

"Your Excellency is wise." Guan Shuli flattered County Magistrate Kang very tactfully.

County Magistrate Kang felt relieved after hearing this. He thought that with the Guan family's ancestors and grandchildren around, even if Emperor Wuxing wanted to start the three fires he had just ascended the throne, they would not burn him.

but……

"Are you the steward of the Yan family? What are you doing in the yamen so late at night?" County Magistrate Kang looked uneasy and stared at the chief steward Yan.

Chief Steward Yan felt a chill and said hurriedly, "Sir, I came to the yamen to see if there are any suitable houses for sale... The Yan family has few houses here, so we need to buy one or two more houses for the master to settle down."

The clerk said nothing, but handed ten deeds to Master Lu.

Master Lu took it and took a look, and exclaimed, "Oh wow."

"Sir." Master Lu handed the deed to Magistrate Kang.

After reading it, County Magistrate Kang said angrily, "You Yan family are so greedy that you rushed here to buy mountains overnight upon hearing the news, and even bought ten at a time, leaving no one with even a scrap of meat. You, the Yan family, are robbing ordinary people of their livelihoods and destroying the foundation of the dynasty!"

Yan Dazongguan hastily knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Excellency, I am wronged. The Yan family is loyal to the court and has no second thoughts... It is I who deserve to die. I was afraid that other powerful families would take all the mountains, so I took the initiative to buy ten mountains and give them to the people of Taifeng Town... I will never dare to take the initiative again. I beg the county magistrate to show mercy, please show mercy!"

As expected of a general manager, he does have some quick wit.

boom!

County Magistrate Kang slammed the table and said in a cold voice: "For the sake of the Xiang family, I will not reprimand your Yan family this time. But if you still don't know how to restrain yourself and dare to cause trouble to the county again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

This Yan family is so annoying. They are always making trouble and there is no peace.

"Yes, yes, I will remember this... Thank you for your kindness, sir." Yan Daguan kowtowed repeatedly and soon said, "Sir, I would like to donate 100 taels of silver to Tianfu County to help the county's agriculture and sericulture. I hope you will agree to it."

He is indeed a man who can get things done.

County Magistrate Kang looked at Master Lu and gave him a look that said he was a bastard for not accepting money.

Master Lu said, "Since Chief Steward Yan is willing, please follow me."

"Yes, thank you, Master Lu." Chief Steward Yan said, and he stood up, bowed to Magistrate Kang, then bowed and walked out of the room.

He kept backing away until he was out the door and down the stairs before he dared to walk upright. He looked extremely humble... but in his heart he was furious and hated the clerk. He swore to find an opportunity to deal with him!

If County Magistrate Kang knew what he was thinking, he would kill him first, then kick his corpse and curse: If you want to die, don't implicate me!
