Upon entering the inner hall,

Dong Ti then knelt down with a thud, and said in a tearful voice:

"Please, sir, save the Dong family!"

Zong Ze countered, "What happened to the Dong family?"

Dong Ti said, "The magistrate of Gaocheng County ordered the soldiers to replace the yamen guards."

"Beside the main hall of the county government office,"

"A dedicated room was used to receive legal documents."

"And he also ordered all members of my Dong family..."

"Submit the land deeds and house deeds of your family to the county government for registration..."

Zong Ze feigned ignorance and said, "Isn't this what we should do?"

"The Dong family's real estate and land,"

"They didn't submit it to the county government for registration,"

"Are you planning to evade taxes?"

"no....."

Dong Ti said anxiously,

"Many shops and farmland,"

"Because it has been damaged and lost over time,"

"How could we possibly produce that in such a short time?"

Zong Ze sneered: "It's not just these things, is it?"

Dong Ti panicked and said, "His Majesty gave orders during the battle against the Jurchens,"

Past offenses will not be punished.

"But...but the magistrate of that county, upon receiving the complaint, actually brought up old grievances,"

"This is going to ruin His Majesty's reputation and prestige!"

Zong Ze, however, said, "Your Majesty's statement that past transgressions will not be punished refers specifically to a certain person."

"Your Excellency's assistance in capturing Zhen Ding will be of great merit."

"Your Majesty will certainly forgive and forget."

"But you can't possibly achieve great things,"

"The entire Dong family deserves credit, right?"

"In that case, if any member of the Dong clan commits murder or breaks the law in the future,"

"You're the only one who obeys the law, so you won't punish them?"

Chapter 3000: Speechless

Dong Ti was speechless.

Because what Zong Ze said makes a lot of sense.

Zong Ze said, "The magistrate of Zhen Ding County will soon be taking office."

“The Dong family from Zhending County also need to produce their house deeds and land deeds.”

“If they can’t produce those assets, then those businesses don’t belong to the Dong family.”

"If someone comes to complain that the Dong family has seized their property,"

"Then the contract that the Dong family has will be void."

Dong Ti felt his body go limp upon hearing this.

I almost collapsed on the spot.

The Jia family, the largest family in Zhending Prefecture,

Because the entire clan fled south to seek refuge with the Ming Dynasty.

The various industries they cannot take with them

They were all divided up by officials of the puppet regime.

Now, everything that's been eaten has to be thrown up!

How could such a good thing happen in the world?

You served the Jurchens like dogs.

Taking advantage of the situation to seize other people's property.

Now the Ming Dynasty has returned in force.

You've transformed yourself into a hero again.

Not only did they suffer no losses,

The industry has expanded several times as a result.

Zong Ze stared intently at Dong Ti and said, "Your Majesty and Highness are true to their word."

"Since you have performed meritorious service, then we will let bygones be bygones."

"Honestly hand over the property you've embezzled over the past two years,"

"Stop meddling in the messes of other tribes,"

"His Majesty will certainly not pursue your mistake any further."

"They might even let you continue to hold an official position."

"Within the entire Dong family, only you are eligible!"

Dong Ti knelt on the spot for a long time.

Finally made up my mind:

"Please, Lord Zong, submit a memorial recommending me,"

"I'm willing to bring my wife, children, and elderly parents with me,"

"Move to settle in the place where you work,"

"Never to return to Zhen Ding Prefecture or Gao City again!"

“That’s more like it,” Zong Ze said with a smile.

It was as if Dong Ti had migrated with his parents, wife, and children.

To sever ties with the entire Dong family

We can no longer contact our hometown.

Even Dong Ti's own brothers cannot be contacted.

Thus,

Having dealt with the Dong family,

This will also ensure His Majesty's credibility.

.....

Zhang Di recovered from his injury very quickly.

He can already walk a few steps.

He looked at the matchmaker in front of him and couldn't help but laugh:

"The Li family previously said I was a thief,"

"How can I ask you to act as matchmaker and arrange a marriage now?"

"Oh dear, General, you've made a mistake!"

The matchmaker feigned surprise.

Then he started spouting nonsense:

"This Mr. Li has always admired the general's loyalty and righteousness."

"He even praised it to everyone he met,"

"It is said that General Zhang was coerced by the barbarians,"

"Yet he always cherished the Han dynasty in his heart,"

"He is truly a model for all martial artists in the world."

"The Li family woman was able to remarry the general,"

"It is truly a blessing earned through many lifetimes."

"You may go back now,"

"Let me think about it some more."

Zhang Di neither confirmed nor denied it.

The matchmaker wanted to persuade her again.

Zhang Di has already had someone ask them to leave.

There are four great bandits in Water Margin.

Song Jiang of Shandong, Wang Qing of Huaixi, Tian Hu of Hebei, and Fang La of Jiangnan.

It is generally believed that Tian Hu, the historical prototype of the man from Hebei, was...

That's Zhang Di, who gathered hundreds of thousands of people to rebel!

Numerous uprisings occurred during the reign of Emperor Huizong.

But it managed to cause such a big commotion.

Even including Zhao Yuan and his son,

Zhang Di has already made it into the top five.

Could this kind of person be a fool?

Zhang Di called his cousin Zhang Hao over and asked:

"Will the Li family be able to weather this storm?"

Zhang Hao replied, "According to the magistrate, His Majesty has no intention of exterminating any clan."

"It's simply to teach the Li family a lesson,"

"Give back the wealth you've seized over the past few years,"

“Punish some more members of the Li clan who have committed wrongdoing.”

"We also need to investigate the Li family's land holdings,"

"Confiscate their land that has no deeds,"

"From now on, we will honestly pay taxes based on the amount per mu (unit of land area)."

Chapter 3001 The Thief Leader's Thoughts

Zhang Di nodded and said, "That makes things easier."

"Brother, do you really intend to marry that woman from the Li family?"

Zhang Hao really couldn't understand it.

"Just a widow who has given birth,"

"Both the husband's family and the wife's family are still under investigation by the authorities,"
