Chen Guanlou really understood the ins and outs of this lawsuit. A landlord named Liu outside the city contributed money and effort to organize people to open up wasteland. It took three years to turn the wasteland into cultivated land, with a total area of about 5,000 acres. At this time, a landlord named Wu came out and said that the wasteland belonged to his family. He now wanted to take back 5,000 acres of cultivated land and took out the land deed. Of course, the landlord surnamed Liu disagreed. He took the trouble to open up 5,000 acres of wasteland. The land had just been cultivated and there was a harvest. Suddenly, a man came out to pick the fruit without any compensation. He was right everywhere in this matter. The two sides fought back and forth several times, neither of them gave in, and their anger was getting bigger and bigger. In the end, they directly advanced from a literary fight to a physical fight. In a world where martial arts are respected, only by showing force can problems be solved. The landlord surnamed Liu had farmhands and guards, and his martial arts value was very good. The landlord surnamed Wu also had farmhands to protect him. When the two sides started fighting, the scene was very hot. After fighting back and forth, the landlord surnamed Wu's family was obviously inferior to the landlord surnamed Liu's family in terms of military strength. In anger, the landlord surnamed Wu simply asked the people of the fighting business to help him to have a decisive battle.
The result was that both sides used weapons and killed people on the spot. The lawsuit was first brought to the county government. It was thought to be a simple case, but who knew that it involved the dignitaries in the capital. The backer behind the landlord surnamed Liu was the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion. The landlord surnamed Liu was like a white glove, doing things for the Marquis Mansion to enclose land and make money. The backer behind the landlord surnamed Wu was the new noble in the court, Jiang Tu, who was the Shaofu Tongcheng at the time and the city gate inspector. He specialized in making money for the emperor and was extremely favored by the emperor. Someone in the court was vicious and gave Jiang Tu a nickname, known as Concubine Jiang. It can be seen how favored this person was in front of the emperor. The emperor could not live without Jiang Tu for a day, and seven or eight out of ten suggestions made by Jiang Tu would be adopted. Not to mention that no one in the court could match Jiang Tu's status in the emperor's mind, even the crown prince and other princes had to please this new noble in the court. The landlord surnamed Wu was originally just a poor family, and Jiang Tu was also from a humble background. When Jiang Tu became prosperous, the landlord surnamed Wu relied on his indirect relationship with the Jiang family to build a large family business in just a few years, and acted more and more arrogantly. Others were intimidated by Jiang Tu's prestige and avoided him in everything, which made the landlord surnamed Wu more arrogant, and now he even dared to plot against the Marquis' Mansion. Unexpectedly, the landlord surnamed Liu relied on the support of the Marquis' Mansion and did not take the landlord surnamed Wu seriously. In addition, he was in the right, so the two sides started to quarrel. The local county government did not know that the water of this case was so deep at first, and subconsciously favored the landlord surnamed Wu. Fortunately, the master was very helpful and secretly reminded the county magistrate, who was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat on the spot. He couldn't afford to offend both sides, so he simply reported the case. Jingzhao Yin:... Damn, can I afford to offend them? The case continued to be reported, and finally fell into the hands of the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice had nothing to report, and for a while, the Ministry of Justice was very troubled. A smart man came up with an idea to put the man in the Tianlao first. The intention was to put the man under his nose to avoid accidents. But everyone knows that the place where accidents are most likely to happen is the Tianlao. In the local prisons, if the courage of the jailers is 5, the courage of the jailers in the Tianlao is 10. After understanding the full picture of the case, Chen Guanlou subconsciously trembled twice. Two gods are fighting, and he is a small jailer. How can he be dragged into the game? It's too much for him. "At present, Jiang Tu is powerful, and the landlord surnamed Wu is clearly relying on Jiang Tu's power to do whatever he wants and forcibly seize good farmland. To put it bluntly, the landlord surnamed Wu is not in the right in this lawsuit. However, the government has been slow to make a judgment and has even reported the case to the Ministry of Justice. In the final analysis, everyone is intimidated by Jiang Tu's power. They are not afraid of anything else, but they are afraid of Jiang Tu's slander. After all, Jiang Tu can see the emperor every day. Given the situation, why does the Marquis' Mansion choose to confront Jiang Tu? Will it lose the big picture for the small?"
Chen Guanlou did not want to get involved in this case. He just wanted to be a jailer who slacked off every day.
Manager Liu refused to let him go. "Xiao Lou, what you said makes sense. If it were an ordinary person, they would just swallow their anger and accept their fate. But Jiang Tu is so unlucky that he dared to provoke the Marquis' Mansion. This case cannot be settled so easily. If the Marquis' Mansion backs down, how can it gain a foothold among the nobles in the future? Others are afraid of Jiang Tu, but the Marquis' Mansion is not afraid of him. Jiang Tu is in the court, and he can't cover the sky with one hand. He is just a flatterer, a little toy to relieve boredom, and he dares to set his sights on the nobles. Five thousand acres of land is not a lot. If he wants it, send someone to say it politely and give it to him. But he insists on snatching it, so don't blame the Marquis' Mansion for slapping him in the face." Manager Liu had a murderous attitude, and Chen Guanlou couldn't help but think more. He asked cautiously, "Is this the intention of the Marquisate?" "This is not just the intention of the Marquisate, but also the intention of all the nobles. This case is not fought by the Marquisate alone. There are so many people in the court who want Jiang Tu to die. As long as the time comes, the censors will take action." From the tone of Manager Liu, the chances of winning this case are very high. The noble families and the ministers in the court seem to have reached a tacit understanding to use this case to kill Jiang Tu's prestige. If Jiang Tu can be killed, it would be the best. However, Chen Guanlou is not so optimistic. Jiang Tu's name is known to everyone in the capital. Even children of a few years old know that the emperor cannot do without Jiang Tu. "The emperor is so fond of Jiang Tu, this case is not a big deal, can it really bring down Jiang Tu?" "I know what you are worried about. Even if you can't bring him down, you still have to hate him. You are still young and don't understand the court situation. Things in the court are never done in one fell swoop, but a long struggle. No matter whether you win or lose, you must take action when it’s time to show your claws, and the people below will follow you firmly.” Chen Guanlou nodded repeatedly, what he said made sense. Always unable to retreat, everything must be tolerated. No matter how powerful the force is, it cannot bear to suppress morale again and again. Over a long period of time, the people below lost their fighting spirit and confidence, and their hearts and minds also dispersed. When they actually charged, they turned around and realized that everyone had run away. Regardless of whether you can win or not, since the war has begun, you must fight hard. Even if we lose the battle, it can boost the morale of the troops and let the people below know that we are capable of fighting, but we are only temporarily at a disadvantage. When the time comes, it may not be possible to make a comeback. At the same time, this is also a great opportunity to clean up your own team. Take this opportunity to clean out those who are not determined and have a weak will, so as to purify the team. Moreover, if this case fell into the emperor's ears if the Hou Mansion chose to give in and please Jiang Tu, what would the emperor think? Will you doubt your loyalty? It is uncertain whether Jiang Tu will be suspected. But the Hou Mansion will definitely be suspected by the emperor. Once you are suspected by the emperor, you will face suppression by the emperor next. On the other hand, if the Hou Mansion goes to war with Jiang Tu, it may not be unable to gain benefits. What if the emperor is happy to see it succeed? Chen Guanlou thought a lot and drank a lot. After drinking this drink, he knew that he couldn't avoid this.
