The matter of clearing the father-in-law is still in full swing, and all parties are naturally keeping a close eye on the properties under their own names, fearing that anything fishy will be found out again.
As a result, the more you fear something, the more it will come to you.
There is a village in Feng County. The total amount is not large, estimated to be about 800 acres. Its owner is the second son of the Prince of Xiang County in the capital.
This second young master was born as a concubine, but he had a favored biological mother, so he lived like a fish in water in the Xiangjun Palace and was very arrogant.
This Zhuangzi in Feng County was originally in the name of the King of Xiangjun, and it was also given by the late emperor. Later, the King of Xiangjun loved the concubine, and gave this Zhuangzi to him when the concubine got married.
Because of this matter, the Princess of Xiangjun had a big fight with him. In the end, the Prince of Xiangjun had to use other properties in the capital to compensate his eldest son.
Because of this, the relationship between the husband and wife of Xiangjun King and the princess became increasingly cold.
Princess Xiang didn't care about this. Her children had grown up and were married. She was a grandmother, so she naturally cared more about her children and grandchildren.
After living for more than half her life, she is still counting on Prince Xiangjun?
Then her life was in vain!
The King of Xiangjun never thought of making his second son the heir apparent. Unfortunately, the idea just came up and before it could be implemented, a case happened to happen in the capital where a concubine killed his wife. The emperor immediately issued an order to reprimand the official. Then it was downgraded three levels in a row, almost killing their family.
Since then, almost no one dared to mess with the atmosphere of the capital's heir apparent.
The king of Xiangjun was also frightened at that time.
He is a relative of the emperor, but he is just a relative of the emperor with a job. It can be said that there is no difference whether he is in the court or not.
So, I don’t dare to mess around anymore.
The Prince of Xiangjun is also a very interesting man. He does not dare to pamper his concubine too much outside the house, but in the palace, the second son's application is almost the same as that of the legitimate son.
This also made the second son Li Yue arrogant and domineering. He only thought that his father loved him the most, and even the position of heir apparent must belong to him sooner or later.
As for the Zhuangzi he got from his marriage, Li Yue was even more proud. He never knew that in order to maintain his dignity, the King of Xiangjun compromised with the princess and gave up more of his property to his brother.
When Qing Zhangqing arrived at the Zhuangzi under Li Yue's name, something big happened as expected.
Two days before Qingzhang, there happened to be a heavy rain, so I had to rest for two days, otherwise there would be no rain in the field.
When the ground was only slightly damp and no longer sticky to the feet, the first-class officers began to work.
As for the Zhuangzi under the name of Li Yue, the reported land area at that time was 816 acres. This was a number that had been registered under the name of the King of Xiangjun.
Li Yue has become more and more arrogant in the past few years. Although he is married, he still doesn't dare to engage in bad habits. Besides liking beauties, he is also worried that his wife will be jealous. After all, if he wants to compete for the position of heir apparent, he has to rely on the efforts of the Yue family.
Therefore, Li Yue simply built a separate courtyard in Feng County.
In order not to be too conspicuous, this courtyard was built on Zhuangzi.
You said you just built a few houses, but the problem is, this Li Yue knows how to enjoy it, and even built several yards.
The law of Dazhi clearly stipulates that as long as you are a good and law-abiding citizen, a family of three will be given one acre of land to build a house, and if there are six people, an additional acre will be added, and so on.
Moreover, because at the beginning of the founding of the Dazhi Dynasty, people's livelihood was difficult and many fertile fields were destroyed, so Emperor Taizu at that time issued an order that no fertile fields were allowed to be destroyed.
The destruction here means that this fertile land can only be fertile land, but if it is used for other purposes, it is equivalent to destruction.
For example, if someone changes fertile farmland into a house, this is called destruction.
For ordinary people, this is not a ban. Land is their life. They would rather feel aggrieved than destroy their own farmland.
Without fertile farmland, what would they eat and wear?
Therefore, this law is basically targeted at some squires.
But I didn't expect that this time, Qingzhang would actually reveal Li Yue's affairs.
"Sir, my subordinates have already measured it clearly. This house has three entrances and a garden. It covers a total area of more than 30 acres."
Cheng Jingzhou frowned, this was thirty acres of fertile land, and this was indeed against the order.
"Are there any relevant procedures?"
"My lord, there is nothing. The housekeeper of that house spoke arrogantly. He only said that this was a separate courtyard of the Xiangjun Prince's Mansion, and also said that the subordinates and others were not qualified to go in and check. So the subordinates and others could only go in and check. A measurement was made on the periphery.”
"Have you met the butler? Haha, that's interesting. Isn't the person registered here Li Yue? He can barely be considered a noble, but he dares to be so arrogant!"
"Sir, we can't even enter the yard now, do you think?"
"Well, since we are not allowed to enter, we won't enter."
Li An was stunned, the Lord is so easy to talk to?
This is a bit unreasonable!
If it is not registered with the government, this house is equivalent to a private construction, which is against the law of Dazhi.
In particular, Emperor Taizu once issued a strict order not to build houses on fertile land at will. Violators will be severely punished!
Cheng Jingzhou was not in a hurry to take action. He would discuss it with Xie Rongzhao after returning. It would be better to discuss it with Princess Xiangjun first. Anyway, the princess hated this concubine extremely.
He is obviously a concubine, but he dares to offend his eldest brother repeatedly. This is a big mistake!
But there was an eccentric county prince protecting her, so the princess had no choice but to watch.
Li Xing, the prince of Xiang County, had long disliked this Li Yue. After seeing the letter from Feng County, he was thinking about how to set a heavy trap for Li Yue so that he would be hit hard.
"It's hard to grasp the balance of this matter. We have not separated our families now, so if Li Yue's incident gets too big, I am afraid that our Xiangjun Prince's Palace will also be embarrassed. You are still leading the errands. When the time comes, the Holy Emperor will ask , will you protect your concubine?"
Li Xing was choked. If he didn't protect him, others would think that he, the eldest brother, was too cold-blooded. But if he protected him, he would feel aggrieved. The main reason was that his concubine's behavior was too much. How could he protect him?
"What do you mean by Concubine Yi?"
"Let's find out the prince's background first. If the prince thinks that this matter is not serious and he is responsible for it, then we can just pretend that we don't know anything and we can cooperate with Magistrate Cheng to do this."
Li Xing thought so. When someone asked, they only said that they had reported to their father several times, but his father always ignored them, or allowed them to do whatever they wanted. As a result, Li Yue would not If anything happens, it's not his fault.
The mother and son looked at each other. They already knew how to tell the prince.
