Yang Shiqin and his group came to the Governor's Mansion located in Kunming City. The strange atmosphere in the mansion was not hidden from Yang Shiqin's eyes.

"Baojun, Yiliang's affairs are probably coming. He is old and wants to be the governor safely. Yiliang's big case is not the time to come. This person is angry and be careful when he speaks later."

The Yang family was finally a white Ding. Although Yang Shiqin had the title of Kunming Governor General, this was not a regular official. Although the Kunming Governor General General was a militia, he had to take up money. Mr. He had been an official for more than 30 years and was a regular imperial examination. The difference between the two was quite large.

As the main steward of the Yang family, Ding Baojun also knew the Yang family's weight. Among the people of Yunnan Prefecture, the Yang family is powerful, but it will not be so good in the officialdom. If it weren't for the big brother's money, how could the Yang family have the current status?

"I understand, you just talk, I won't interrupt easily!"

After a conclusion, the two of them entered Yunnan, Guizhou's power core, under the guidance of their servants, and were located in the Yunnan-Guizhou Governor's Office in Cuihu, Kunming.

"Brother Yang is here, let's go! Let's take the seat!"

He Changling, who was sixty years old, was in a state of failure. This governor of Yunnan and Guizhou was probably his last term. He wanted to go through his nearly forty years of official career safely, but he did not expect that he would be in trouble one after another.

First there was the bloody fight in Hui Han in Yunnan, and then there was the major family extermination case of Yiliang. This time he invited Yang Shiqin to come over. He wanted him to persuade Hui Hui and Han people who were fighting each other, but just as the dinner was ready, another major family extermination case occurred in Yiliang.

"Mr. He, do you have any worries? You don't have to take the matters in the west to heart. Yang is a bit of a shame among all ethnic groups in Yunnan. It is not difficult for the Han people to persuade those who fight for their own interests because of some small profits!"

The more angry He Changling became, the more confident Yang Shiqin felt. If he didn't get angry, the matter would not be serious. If he was really angry, it means that this matter worried Lao He.

"It's already a trivial matter to go back to the bloody battle in the Han Dynasty. A major case was filed on Yiliang's side. The family of Zhou Shiqing, a gentry from Yiliang, was slaughtered. If this matter was spread to the capital, my old man would be roasted on the fire."

"Yiliang's Zhou Da cattle were slaughtered in the whole family. Although he was an official, he did a lot of things that were harmful to the world in Yiliang. If he died, he would die. What would he do to the court? Is it unhappy?"

How Yang Meng handled the Zhou family? Ding Baojun has already said that he had given Yang Shiqin all the reasons for letting He Changling cover up the Zhou family's case. This is Yang Shiqin's purpose here.

"How did you say this? Zhou Shiqing is an official and his entire family has been destroyed. I, the governor, concealed the report, will it have contributed to the unhealthy trend?"

He Changling was diligent in his official career and it was not easy for him to deceive the court.

"I'm sure it's just right. Let's have a meal and chat?"

The more old He said this, the greater the chance of Yang Shiqin. Once Zhou Shiqing's old foundation was revealed, it would probably shock him.

"It's not your move, right?"

He Changling is not confused. The power of the Yang family is more than enough to kill a gentry from Yiliang.

"Are you going to frame it? Let's talk about this Yiliang Zhoudao. It's not too late for you to make a decision!"

Yang Shiqin thoughtfully, I didn’t do this. Although I also had this idea, my son snatched it first.

"Then I'll hear what your old man Yang said. If you can't say it well, I'll leave it to you all the things in the west."

The two people with their own thoughts are not focused on exquisite food after entering the table. Solving their own troubles is the purpose of getting together.

"Zhou Shiqing deserves to die, he raises a large number of slaves and executes them at will; he abducts young boys, girls, and beautiful women and sells them into brothels; he privately grows poppy and sells opium, and it also affects the five provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi. Such a person is very pleased to die. Why should Lord He worry about such a killing?

There is a reason why Zhou Shiqing and his family were destroyed. Yiliang Dianshi was imprisoned for selling opium and rape and killing good people. Zhou Shiqing realized that something was wrong and wanted to take his family's money away from Yunnan. How could his servants who acted as human traffickers lose their support?”

Yang Shiqin's words made He Changling's brow jump. He didn't know these things. Yiliang Dianshi sold opium and was imprisoned. He knew this, but he didn't expect that Zhou Shiqing's case was also related to Yiliang Dianshi.

"Yiliang Dianshi, is it selling Zhou Shiqing's opium?"

Yiliang Dianshi has brought everything, and the number of opium sold is amazing. Unexpectedly, this true master is actually Zhou Shiqing, a gentryman from Yiliang.

"That Yiliang Dianshi, although he is an official, can do what the Zhou family does, sell opium, abduct people, occupy land, and suppress the miserable. This master and his servant have done all the evil things. It is a blessing that Yunnan has lost these two disasters!"

"How dare they do such evil to harm the people of Yunnan?"

He Changling was also considered a clean official, and he could not accept what Zhou Shiqing and Yiliang Dianshi did.

"Not only that, I've taken over the Zhou family's land. Do you know how much land rent is for the Zhou family? How much tax is paid to the court in a year?"

The Yang family's accounting has been found out about the Zhou family, but there are very few taxes paid in a year for thousands of acres of fertile land. What made Yang Shiqin most angry was the Zhou family's land rent.

"The government is not easy to participate in land rent. It is said that the Zhou family has tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, so the annual tax should be quite large, right?"

He Changling came to Yunnan for too short time. He didn't know many other than Yang Shiqin, the gentry of Yunnan. Yang Shiqin was the previous governor and specifically told him to be close to Yunnan gentry, otherwise what Yang Shiqin looked like had nothing to do with him.

"The land rent of the Zhou family is 95% but the tenants can keep straw and rice bran. In Zhou Shiqing's original words, these tenants eat rice, which is a waste of grain. A mu of fertile land, and only 400 kilograms of grain and rice in two seasons a year. In the hands of the tenants, except for the remaining seeds, all the rest is rice bran.

The Zhou family manor has thousands of hectares of fertile land and countless mountains. The annual tax is only more than a thousand acres of official land that cannot be avoided. As for other fields, they are all on abandoned land over the years. The Zhou family escaped huge amounts of taxes, and all these taxes were distributed to the people of Yiliang. Over the years, a mu of fertile land was not as good as a mu of mountain fields in other places!

Speaking of this, it is related to the history of Yiliang. This adult has been operating in Yiliang for many years. The newly-departed county magistrate Jiang Yuanji was directly underwritten by him, levying land rent and bullying the people. This adult has also achieved its best.

Lao Yang, I have to thank Jiang Yuanji. If he hadn't won Dianshi, would I have been able to get such a big advantage and easily get the Zhou family manor?"

Yang Shiqin said the same thing, but He Changling rolled his eyes in anger. The Qingming official voice, which had been around for nearly 30 years in his life, was almost ruined. If this matter was reported, Governor He would definitely not be able to escape the charge of being in prison.

What does the court rely on to live? It is all taxes. Yiliang Dianshi and Zhou Shiqing snakes and rats were in a nest. Under his own office, He Changling had to hold up this shit.

"What a pair of killing talents! In broad daylight, in the bright world, he actually did such evil things, deceived the court and suppressed good deeds. It's really worth killing!"

He Changling took a long time to curse, and he had seen corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry, but he had seen too many officials for more than 30 years. It was not that there was no better than these two people, but under his rule by He Changling, he was the first to create the world.

Such corruption cases may occur in various places, but if there is one, it is another matter to report to the court. Although the case of family destruction is serious, as long as the case can be solved, you will have some achievements.

Concealing large amounts of taxes and deceiving the court is not a thing of the past. If you don’t say anything else, you will first have to be punished for not being strict with your subordinates.

The current imperial court is using silver, and the copper tuition in Yunnan has been reduced year by year. Since Yunnan's finances have been unable to take care of themselves, the salaries and military pay of officials at all levels and 40,000 soldiers in Yunnan were allocated by the court and the joint pay of the provinces. Although the court did not say anything, other provinces that allocated joint pay were complained.

If this incident of concealing taxes spread and the provinces took advantage of the reasons to stop the cooperation, then He Changling would become an enemy of Yunnan officials and soldiers. Without money, he would even hold the position of governor and be an angry rat.

"A villain like Zhou Shiqing and Yiliang Dianshi are not worth dying. They have to blame their families together. Who else in Yunnan can give them a grudge? Such things will disappear within a month or two. Let Yiliang be more stern and be calm."

After talking for a long time, this sentence was Yang Shiqin's voice, and it has now become He Changling's voice. Yes! At least, it should be done for the sake of his last journey, not to mention that this matter is openly for the sake of officials at all levels in Yunnan.

"Your Brother Yang has to worry about the matter of going back west!"

He Changling was going to see off the guests. Yang Shiqin achieved his goal and was unwilling to be humble here. He nodded and agreed to the bloody battle of Xiang Huihan, so he said goodbye and left.

"This official! If you can't do it, no matter how good a person comes to this officialdom, he will be melted into a pile of rotten iron."

On the way back, Yang Shiqin sighed, this was the official of the Qing Dynasty. He Changling was always famous and was also a casual person who only wanted fame and fortune.

Yang Shiqin sighed and finished the matter, but Jiang Yuanji received strict orders from the Governor's Office. Before the Qiu Jue, the Yiliang Dianshi family was in the blood and was directly killed in the punishment hall. The so-called punishment was not enough to be a doctor, and it became empty talk here.

The case of Zhou Shiqing was even simpler. After killing the human traffickers, it was only assumed that this had never happened. The Zhou family's old and small, including a large number of servants, were buried in mass graves overnight.

The Zhou family's taxes were naturally gone, and thousands of acres of fertile land and countless mountains and forests disappeared out of thin air from the court's archives.

It’s not that I don’t want to collect taxes, but that I can’t collect them. If this precedent is set, things in Yunnan will be in chaos. Land taxes have always been a mess. I’m serious about this matter and without the will of the court, that is to ask for trouble.

This time, the Zhou family, Yiliang Dianshi family was destroyed, and the Yang family was only cheap. Not only did the Zhou family's land be useless, but there was no tax.

Yang Meng made a fortune even more. He dealt with Yiliang Dianshi and confiscated his house in succession, and obtained nearly two million in wealth. Needless to say, the Zhou family had more than three million in cash, and the rest of the matter had not been paid at all.

For Yang Meng's drug manufacturing workshop, the five thousand dan of high-quality cloud soil is truly a fortune. As long as the eldest brother goes well, the value of the five thousand dan of cloud soil will be far more than the total income this time.

Tang Youwu killed Zhou Da’s animal with his own hands and had to collect the fishing line. If he floated like this, would he not regret Yang Meng’s death if he took off the hook?
