Boom!

Like a bolt from the blue, Guo Jia, Jushou, Tian Feng and others instantly understood Liu Chen’s meaning and the key to the case!

Salt bags, after storing salt for a long time, salt powder will be left in the inner bag, and the salty taste of salt will also be stained.

If this were a money bag, it wouldn't smell salty, but the coppery smell of money.

This made the three top counselors Guo Jia, Ju Shou and Tian Feng look at Liu Chen in disbelief.

This kind of extraordinary intelligence, resourcefulness, and quick reactions are beyond the reach of even them!

How long has it been since Liu Chen entered the lobby? It’s not even half an hour! This unjust, false and wrongful conviction was overturned directly by him!

This kind of IQ performance left Ju Shou and Tian Feng stunned on the spot!

They had just wanted to make suggestions for Liu Chen to prevent him from being brought down, but they didn't expect that this lord was smarter than his advisers!

Jushou and Tian Feng looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces!

Liu Chen looked at Yuan Fu, the Prime Minister, and asked in a cold voice:"Have I wronged you?"

Bang!

Prime Minister Yuan Fu knelt down and kowtowed. The cold sweat on his face was like raindrops, and his body was shaking like a sieve.

Liu Chen ignored him and looked at the powerful Zhang. Before Liu Chen could speak, Zhang knelt down and kowtowed in embarrassment, begging for mercy again and again.

Bang bang bang -

Zhang really kowtowed, his forehead hit the ground so hard that it bled. only.

The sudden reaction of the Prime Minister and Zhang made the people around him a little confused for a moment. Even the farmer and his family were stunned on the spot!

"The case was solved?"

"What does it mean? His Highness asked the Prime Minister to add a sheepskin inner bag, and then the Prime Minister said it was salty and the case was solved?"

"Salty? Does this sheepskin bag still smell?"

Listening to the ignorant remarks of the people around him, Guo Jia in the crowd explained calmly:

"It is obviously a salt bag owned by an old farmer. He often stores salt so that the flavor can stick to the sheepskin bag."

Everyone suddenly realized it!

The people admired Liu Chen endlessly, saying that Liu Chen was wise, powerful, and talented. Their eyes shone with admiration, as if they were looking up to a god! The old farmer and his family were very excited, and they were finally avenged.!

His son, who had a background in mining, was in tears. He kept kowtowing to Liu Chen in gratitude, treating him as his reborn parent! The angry emotion on the face of his father, an old farmer, turned into relief, gratitude, and turbidity. His eyes couldn't help but shed tears!

If Hua Tuo and other doctors hadn't tried their best to treat him, the old farmer would have obviously left Hexi after this injustice was resolved.

Liu Chen glanced at Guo Jia out of the corner of his eye, remembered the other person in his heart, and then looked towards Zhang said coldly:"Why did you frame the old farmer?"

"me……"

The powerful Zhang's face was pale and he was sweating like rain. He wanted to quibble, but looking at Liu Chen's cold face and thinking of Liu Chen's sharp eyes and ability to easily solve the case, he did not dare to lie.

"This year's grain harvest was bumper, and the output more than tripled... I, I took a fancy to his land, but the sale couldn't be done, so I wanted to seize it with a plan.……" boom!

Everyone around was shocked instantly!

Everyone looked at Zhang and wanted to kill someone!

They are all farmers. If their own land is coveted by someone in this way, and they still use such a treacherous strategy, they will naturally be frightened!

If it weren't for Liu Chen this time, this old farmer would not be able to escape the fate of having his land taken away!

The lips and teeth were cold, the rabbit was dead and the fox was sad. Looking at the old farmer who was covered in blood and obviously beaten to death, they were extremely sentimental and felt the same!

Liu Chen's face turned even colder!

Land annexation!

Landlords exploited and used various despicable means to make land-owning farmers sell their land and properties and become tenant farmers.

Why was it that the standard was one husband, five persons, a house of five acres, and a field of one hundred acres? But it doesn't meet the standard at all?

It is because after the development of private ownership of land, powerful landlords expanded viciously, annexed land, and took advantage of it. Coupled with the increase in taxation and exploitation. Droughts and plagues occur frequently.

Farmers have less and less farmland and are increasingly unable to survive. This was actually the reason why the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out.

This person deserves to die!

However, the focus of this unjust case is not here.

"How could such a strategy that was full of loopholes lead to a victory in the end? The old farmer was finally beaten into submission, and the case could also be settled with such a result? Liu

Chen looked at Yuan Fu, the Prime Minister, coldly:"Prime Minister Yuan, are you the one who is incompetent?" Or is there some ulterior motive involved?"

Yuan Guoxiang's body was trembling, and his face was pale as he lowered his head. No matter which one it was, it was enough to become a stain on his life.

But it was the lesser of two evils. Yuan Guoxiang cried and said:"Your Highness, I am incompetent. This subordinate has failed the expectations of the court and you, and deserves death! Liu

Chen ignored Yuan Fu, but looked at Zhang and asked coldly:"Tell me, can you win this case? Is there any money involved?" Did the person in charge of the case accept bribes?"

The powerful Zhang's trembling body paused, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Yuan Fu, the Prime Minister of the State, but he was stared back by the latter's cold and gloomy eyes.

Zhang immediately looked away, recalling Yuan Fu's warning, and thinking of him Ru With the background of the fourth and third princes of the Nanyuan family, he gritted his teeth and carried it all by himself.

"Your Highness, this matter was all done by the common people. Prime Minister Yuan Guo was righteous and selfless, but he was deceived by the common people.……"

Zhang resisted everything on his own, and even praised Yuan Fu in a different direction, which made the latter very satisfied.

Yuan Fu said repeatedly:"Your Highness, don't listen to what this thief said. This subordinate is incompetent and blind!"

Seeing the two singing in harmony, the people still didn't know why.

But Guo Jia, Jushou and Tian Feng had already seen that there must be money involved!

It's just that Zhang insisted on resisting alone, and Yuan Guoxiang was not stupid enough not to bring it on himself. The result was obviously... each of them was punished with three drinks!

Zhang is from a noble family, such as Yuan Guoxiang. What does the life and death of the poor have to do with them? Being able to give them justice is enough to make them grateful!

What's more, in the Han Dynasty (Eastern Han Dynasty), in addition to being able to sell officials and get titles, promotion and promotion required payment, which also made those officials desperately make money after taking office.

Those honest officials who have a hard time with their conscience can only abandon their official positions and run away when faced with the high sums of money required for promotion.

This is the current situation of the Han Dynasty - so decayed that it is not far from destruction!

Guo Jia, Jushu and Tian Feng were all somewhat saddened by their misfortune, angry that they would not fight, and worried about the current situation of the Han Dynasty.

But when they saw Liu Chen's cold face and unflinching aura, their hearts trembled!

Intuition told them that Liu Chen didn't seem to be ready to give up!

But in this case, there is no proof, how can Liu Chen attack?

This made Guo Jia, Ju Shou and Tian Feng a little curious.

……

Ps: Chapter 23 has been revised, and two hundred acres has been changed to twenty acres. The author checked the information and found that the standard is 100 acres, but in fact it cannot be reached. It seems like twenty acres is a bit too much.
