"Business tax?"

Li Boyan nodded: "Yes, commercial tax, the land south of the Yangtze River is prosperous, especially Suzhou and Hangzhou are the most, the rich merchants in Suzhou are gathered, the rich people are in groups, and the daily flow of goods and silver is huge, and the commercial tax of our Chinese Dynasty is roughly divided into two kinds, where the merchants sell goods, the tax is 20 per 1,000 yuan, which is called 'passing tax',......; Because of the low status of the merchants, because of the prestige of the prefect, they often swallowed their anger, and with the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, even if they paid such a heavy tax and silver, they also made some profits, so in the past few years, they have come over without danger......

After Li Boyan finished speaking, his old face was full of shame, and he didn't dare to look at Ren Xiaoyao when he lowered his head. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The age of fifty is not guaranteed, and now in front of a young man, he personally speaks about all kinds of illegal things in the past, who can not be ashamed?

However, Li Boyan was obviously overly worried, he never expected that he would meet a master of Qincha who had no concept of right and wrong.

After Ren Xiaoyao heard the details of his crime, his eyes lit up, and he slapped the table and exclaimed loudly: "High! Lao Li, you are a master! It's amazing, you can make tens of thousands of taels of silver casually a month, damn! No wonder others say that there is no future for being a Beijing official, this is really true, I have to ask the emperor to send me an official when I go back, regardless of its second and fifth grades, as long as I can make money......"

"Huh?" Li Boyan raised his head suddenly, looking at Ren Xiaoyao with a stunned face.

This...... Could this Lord Chincha be talking back and ridiculing me? But...... His eyes glowed green, and it didn't look like a mockery...... What's wrong with this world?

Li Boyan's stunned expression had not faded, but Ren Xiaoyao's expression suddenly froze, his eyes stared at Li Boyan viciously, and said gloomily: "Slow!" Lao Tzu suddenly remembered one thing......"

"Ho...... What's the matter? ”

"My Ren family seems to have a semicolon in this Suzhou City......"

"Such as ...... How is it? ”

"In this way, you must have blackmailed me for the heavy tax of Ren's business......"

"Huh?" Li Boyan was shocked.

"Ahh Ren Xiaoyao suddenly turned his face, stepped on the chair, stretched out his right hand to him, and said angrily: "Dare to blackmail my family's silver, it's not a small bold!" …… Money! Fast! Lose 1 million taels to Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will not be finished with you! ”

）

Li Boyan was frightened by the fierce and vicious Ren Yao.

After a brief blank in his mind, he finally stammered, "Lose ...... What money? ”

Ren Xiaoyao said evilly: "You blackmailed my Ren family's firm, shouldn't you lose money?" ”

Li Boyan wanted to cry without tears: "......"

Who is blackmailing whom now? When he first saw this Lord Qincha, he still felt that Ren Xiaoyao looked like a person, quite like that, but he didn't expect that as soon as he mentioned silver, this person completely changed his face.

Wiping his sweat, Li Boyan felt like a little sheep held down by a wolf's paws at the moment, and the wolf was drooling at him, swallowing him at any time......

"Lord Ren, the offender...... The prisoner has no money......" Li Boyan begged bitterly, now he is very embarrassed, and he has a sense of pathos that he has just left the tiger's mouth and fallen into the wolf's den.

Ren Xiaoyao didn't believe it: "No money? Fool whom? You are greedy for so much tax money, and you don't keep a little of it for yourself? I don't care, you blackmailed my family's money, and now give me an honest spit out, otherwise I'll copy your house upside down......"

Saying that, Ren Xiaoyao smiled and said: "Copying the house is my specialty, do you want to see it?" Make sure your home is clean, the walls are all around, and it's cleaner than washed with water......"

Li Boyan was silent, but his eyes began to flicker.

Seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao became more and more sure that this guy was greedy for a lot of silver, and corrupt officials were like this, when he was caught by the emperor, he was weaker than him.

Affectionately hooked Li Boyan's shoulder, and Ren Xiaoyao began to do his ideological work: "Money is something outside the body, why are you so persistent? The Buddha said: 'Put down the silver, feather and ascend to immortal'......"

"Buddha...... Did you say this? Li Boyan was confused.

"Of course! …… You just take it for him! Ren Xiaoyao paused, and then continued: "This sentence is to tell the world, don't care about those blockages, because they are very dirty...... Well, but I'm not afraid of getting dirty, come, give me all the money......"

Li Boyan hesitated.

"Hurry up, if you don't give it to me, you'll rob it, you should be a vegetarian? Don't toast and don't eat and drink, Lao Tzu was almost poisoned by your big boss behind the scenes today, shouldn't you give me some mental damages? Ren Xiaoyao showed a hideous face.

Li Boyan looked at Ren Xiaoyao as a fierce bandit, and couldn't help but tremble, he was born as a literati, and at this time he couldn't help but curse in his heart: Damn! Is this the minister of the Chin Mission, or the second of the best?

Under the eaves, Li Boyan couldn't resist, so he gritted his teeth, put his hand into his arms, and took out a large stack of silver tickets.

Ren Xiaoyao was overjoyed, quickly snatched the silver ticket, and stuffed it into his arms without looking, his shot was sharp, his reaction was sensitive, and he chased after the martial arts master of the rivers and lakes.

After putting away the silver ticket, Ren Xiaoyao looked at Li Boyan more pleasing to the eye, damn! Just bluff him a few words, he actually really paid for the silver, it seems that the bigger the official, the less courage he has, after returning to the capital, he scared the head of the household department Du Songjun to go, it is estimated that the old guy has made a lot of money over the years......

happily patted Li Boyan's shoulder, and Ren Yao boasted: "Lao Li, you are really good!" In fact, you should have seen it a long time ago, with your current crime, you will not be wronged by cutting off your head ten times, what is the use of keeping the silver? You can't bring this thing alive or die, so let me help you spend it......"

As soon as Li Boyan heard the word "beheading", his legs suddenly became weak, his old face was suddenly full of pathos and despair, tears couldn't stop falling, and his shoulders shrugged from crying, which was very sad.

Although he has long understood his own end, it is another thing to be able to say it from the mouth of others, who wants to die? The reason why corrupt officials are greedy for so much money is because they want to live a better life, who wants to be put on the execution ground and be stabbed by the executioner?

Ren Xiaoyao looked at Li Boyan coldly, he couldn't say whether he was contemptuous or pitiful in his heart, this is a poor person, the official is big, but he fell into the trap of others, like a puppet, he was manipulated and coerced for four years, the tax and silver were taken away by others, but the black pot made him on his back, in the chessboard, he was the abandoned son, except for exchanging him for some benefits, it was useless, and he was kicked far away by the people behind the scenes, and he no longer cared about his life or death. His life is over......

Think about it from another angle, in fact, anyone can be a chess piece on someone else's chessboard, even if he is free of himself, when he dealt with Pan Shangshu and the prince, he was born and died several times, and his life hung by a thread several times, at that time, wasn't he still a chess piece on the chessboard of the first emperor? It's just that the emperor was quite benevolent and favored him as a chess piece, so he worshiped the second rank in the year of the weak crown, and was knighted as the prince of the country, based on the peak of the court, and enjoyed the supreme glory.

Many times, people's fate is already predestined, Ren Xiaoyao is not the kind of person who can defy the sky, he doesn't have that ability, and he doesn't have that much ambition, he has always been very lazy, too lazy to be used as a pawn, as long as he can enjoy life comfortably, even if it is someone else's pawn, why not? If you want to be the one who plays chess, isn't this world complete?

Seeing Li Boyan crying miserably, Ren Xiaoyao sighed, and wanted to spare his life, but the Jiangnan tax case was too amazing, and the prefects of the six prefectures, including Li Boyan, were directly named by the fat man, that is to say, he has been on the blacklist of the fat man, and Ren Xiaoyao wants to spare him, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

After Li Boyan's mood stabilized, Ren Xiaoyao said: "Okay, let's continue to talk about business......

Li Boyan was frightened, and the tears on his face had not dried yet, so he immediately said with a bitter face: "Lord Ren, I really have no money......

Ren Xiaoyao said unhappily: "Who told me this?" Get down to business! Continue to explain your heinous criminal process and how you went from an honest and honest official to a mad corrupt official......"

Li Boyan hesitated for a long time, sighed, and said, "...... Lord Ren, the criminal official was born in a poor family, he studied hard for more than ten years, before he could be able to win the move, and then he was admitted to the jinshi, and the officialdom has been crawling for many years, before he climbed to the position of the five-grade prefect, and it is also the richest Suzhou prefect in the whole Chinese Dynasty, which in addition to the Han family helped me to work up and down the court and make the silver, the efforts of the prisoner himself are also indispensable, the prisoner has always wanted to be a good official who has done his best for the country and the people, but ......"

Li Boyan's expression suddenly became angry, he clenched his fists tightly, and said in a hoarse tone: "...... Ever since I fell into the trap orchestrated by the man behind the scenes, he has ruined everything for me! My relatives, my children, my future, and even my life were all completely ruined by him, and I ...... Unwilling! ”

"The Longde firm you gave the silver to is still in Suzhou City?" Ren Xiaoyao asked coldly.

Li Boyan shook his head bitterly: "It's gone, half a month ago, that business suddenly disappeared without a trace overnight, and since then, no one has asked me to send silver, everything disappeared quickly, like a dream......

Half a month ago......

Ren Xiaoyao touched his chin and recalled carefully, at that time, the fat man happened to mention to him about the Jiangnan in the capital, and Suzhou got the news so quickly?

Immediately afterwards, Ren Xiaoyao was shocked, so to speak, even the Imperial Palace in the capital had already laid the eyeliner of the person behind the scenes, so he could get the news as soon as possible, so he calmly withdrew the Longde firm from Suzhou City, leaving a prefect who could not hide his guilt to let himself be arrested...... Who the hell is this person? His power is too terrifying, isn't it?

Knowing that the situation is serious, Ren Xiaoyao raised his heart, no, he has to notify the fat man immediately, and let him check the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace one by one, there are some eyeliners of the enemy lurking around him, who can sleep? Who knows if those eyeliners will suddenly turn into assassin killers? It is not easy to make money in the world, and it is not uncommon for one person to work two jobs and receive two salaries......

Frowning and looking at Li Boyan, Ren Xiaoyao said in a deep voice: "Are there any other valuable clues?" ”

Li Boyan thought about it and shook his head bitterly.

He is just a chess piece, the chess piece never has to know too much, and the people behind the scenes seem to be very wary of these criminals who are in the open, and will not leave clues for Ren Yaoshun to catch him.

"You've never seen the man behind the scenes? Did he send someone to contact you every time? "Ren Yaoyao did not give up.

Li Boyan nodded and said: "That person has never shown up, and the person who contacted me is also very tight-mouthed, I tried to ask something from his mouth several times, but he saw through it, he spoke to me very concisely, just told me when and where to go, how much silver to send over, and then left, his whereabouts were very secretive." ”

"I heard in the capital that this case involves some families in Jiangnan, is this true?"

Li Boyan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know, in the past few years, what I have done is to silently embezzle ink and taxes for them, worry about their future and life day and night, I have no ability at all, and I don't have the heart to care about anything else, I don't know if the Jiangnan family is involved in the case." ”

Ren Xiaoyao believed what he said.

Since the people behind the scenes dared to leave Li Boyan in the yamen and arrest him at will, they determined that Li Boyan would not know anything valuable, and Li Boyan was at best just a tool for committing a crime, and after the case was completed, the tool was thrown at the scene of the crime. The people behind the scenes left Li Boyan's life, from another point of view, as if they were laughing at Ren Xiaoyao, or holding the attitude of a cat catching a mouse, he was sure that Ren Xiaoyao could not solve the case, and in the end, he could only arrest several prefects on the bright side and send them to the capital, and the case was hastily closed.

Angry, I look down on people too much! Ren Xiaoyao clenched his fists, and two clouds of anger couldn't help but rise in his eyes, I didn't say anything about poisoning the snake, but he still teased me? Except for his own wives, who in the world dares to do this?

Squinting at Li Boyan, who was silent, Ren Xiaoyao said angrily: "You are really selfless dedication, in the past few years, you have been greedy for money, you don't hear anything outside the window, and you are as attentive as when you studied hard in the cold window, it's really amazing...... Hey, you are greedy for so much silver, can you sleep at night? What is the quality of sleep? ”

Li Boyan hung his head and said in a low voice: "Sleep like a baby......"

Ren Xiaoyao was shocked: "It is worthy of experiencing the storms of officialdom, you can sleep here!" ”

Li Boyan was silent for a long time, and said: "I often wake up in the middle of the night, cry for a while, and then fall asleep......"

Ren Xiaoyao: "......"

Li Boyan pleaded guilty, but Ren Xiaoyao knew that his confession did not play much role in the whole case. It is undeniable that Li Boyan is a pathetic tool of crime, his life was brilliant for a while, but he fell into hell at the most glorious time.

Li Boyan knelt on the ground in the escort room, begging Ren Yao to save his youngest son's life with tears and snot.

It turned out that the people behind the scenes did not dare to have two hearts in order to make Li Boyan obey him, so he plundered his youngest son, who was less than 20 years old, and left his new wife and grandson who was less than half a year old to be fed.

"It's all your own making! You still have the face to cry! Ren Xiaoyao glared at Li Boyan fiercely.

If you can't even protect your family, are you still qualified to be a man?

Ordered the guards to take off Li Boyan's black veil top, strip off his official uniform, and take him into prison, Li Boyan looked depressed, his face was pale, and he let the guards take him away without saying a word.

In fact, he and Ren Xiaoyao both knew that if the hostages fell into the hands of the people behind the scenes, they might be more than lucky. Li Boyan, the prefect of the five grades, said that he would abandon it and abandon it without mercy, not to mention his youngest son?

Only Ren Yao was left in the escort room.

Ren Xiaoyao sat on the pineapple wooden Taishi chair, stunned, these things explained by Li Boyan today are too ordinary, and they are basically of little use to solve this case, Ren Xiaoyao sat quietly, his mind kept recalling what Li Boyan said, and while sorting out his thoughts, he wanted to find some valuable clues from it.

Judging from the actions of the person behind the scenes, his purpose is estimated to be to kill himself in this Jiangnan land, otherwise he would not have released snakes and poisoned again, he was lucky and avoided twice, but what about next time? Next time, what kind of sinister method will he come up with to murder himself? Will you still have such good luck?

As for Li Boyan and the rest of the prefects of the five prefectures, the people behind the scenes did not kill them, the purpose is actually very simple, in the case of not being able to kill Ren Xiaoyao, he left these abandoned sons to Ren Xiaoyao, because he wanted Ren Xiaoyao to stop and end the case, after all, on the bright side, the culprit of the greedy ink and swallowing the Jiangnan tax and silver is the prefect of the six prefectures, if Ren Xiaoyao is interested, he only needs to give an order, and order the shadows of all over the country to arrest the remaining prefects of the five prefectures, this case can be perfectly concluded, and the criminal has been arrested, The Ministry of Officials will soon send alternate officials to take over the position of prefect of the six prefectures, and from then on, Jiangnan will be prosperous and strong, singing and dancing.

Can't get it done?

Ren Xiaoyao struggled a little and was a little scared. The more he delved into this case, the more he felt that the power of the person behind the scenes was terrifying, how vicious the methods were, and that Ren Xiaoyao was not sure about fighting such a person.

Ren Xiaoyao's essence is still just a young master who eats and waits for death, for this kind of person, not to mention anything else, the courage must be the smallest, the character of greed for life and fear of death determines that he will not take the initiative to provoke powerful people, that is to find himself unhappy, Ren Xiaoyao does not like to do such stupid things.

But when he returned to Beijing, Ren Xiaoyao was very unwilling. Because in addition to the young master, he has many identities, the second-rank official of the imperial court, the hereditary loyal prince, the husband of all wives, the only son of the second elder in the family, and the friend of the fat emperor......

If it is really as Han Zhu guessed, this person is bold and reckless in Jiangnan, manipulating the prefect of the six prefectures, and has unfathomable power, his intention is naturally to win the world and watch the artifact, then if Ren Xiaoyao stops, it will inevitably seem too irresponsible. If this cancer is not removed, can I live a comfortable life for a few days when I return to the capital? When that person has already fledged and rebelled, how can he be worthy of the fat man who has just ascended the throne at that time? How do you keep your family and wife safe?

Check it, keep checking it, no matter how scared you are, you have to check, some responsibilities can't be escaped, you have to carry it on your back, for the sake of your family, your wife and the fat man, take another risk.

Ren Xiaoyao gritted his teeth and made this decision. At the same time, his face became pale, and his whole body began to tremble involuntarily because of fear.

What is Man? Fearlessness is not a man, only when he is clearly afraid, but still has the courage to face it for the sake of responsibility, this is the real man. Ren Xiaoyao kept comforting himself like this in his heart and cheering himself up.

"Come on...... Come. Ren Xiaoyao's tone was a little trembling.

"My lord, my subordinates are here."

Vinson walked in through the door and replied. When he looked up and saw Ren Xiaoyao's pale face, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, what's wrong with you?" What happened? ”

"Vinson, the enemy we're facing this time is very strong......" Ren Xiao sighed.

Wen Sen straightened his chest: "My lord, my subordinates are not afraid!" ”

Of course you're not afraid, it's not you who others want to kill. Ren Xiaoyao was very disdainful of this guy who didn't have a backache when he stood and spoke.

Raising his head, Ren Xiaoyao looked directly at Vincent, his face gradually became resolute, and he said in a deep voice: "Although the enemy is very strong, we must defeat him!" The emperor has just ascended the throne, this is the first errand he gave us, we can't mess it up! Now that I have fulfilled this errand, I will not allow it to fail! This case involves a lot of depth and breadth, but I must find out! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Wen Sen looked excited, he hadn't seen Lord Ren so combative for a long time, Wen Sen was very excited, what if the enemy was strong? No matter how powerful the enemies were in the past, weren't they also cleaned up by Lord Ren one by one? Pan Shangshu, prince, which of them is a fuel-efficient lamp? Now it has long been wiped out and turned into a handful of loess.

Vinson has a lot of confidence in Lord Ren. The people behind this tax case will definitely be caught by Lord Ren, Wen Sen is deeply convinced.

Ren Xiaoyao also seemed to be infected by Vinson's passionate emotions, smiled at him, and then his face was solemn, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Vinson, listen to orders!" ”

"The subordinates are here!" Vinson was ready to try.

"From today onwards, all the forbidden army masters brought from the capital will be concentrated ......"

"Yes!"

“…… Gather and protect me! ”

"Yes...... Yes? ”

"Oh, this official is investigating this case, so the safety of my life is very important, and it is the top priority of your work, don't slack off a little, if I am killed, you still have a fart? Vinson, is that true? ……”

“……”

While he was talking to Vinson, the curtain of the escort room was suddenly lifted.

The two turned their heads to look, but saw the King of Thailand walking in with a smile on his face, seeing Ren Xiaoyao and Wen Sen looking at him, the King of Thailand couldn't help but be stunned, and then quickly reacted, and hurriedly said: "Yo, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know that the two of you are discussing business, I came in too recklessly, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll go out ......"

Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly smiled: "It's okay, we have almost discussed it, and His Royal Highness the King of Thailand does not need to avoid it." ”

Saying that, Ren Xiaoyao stretched out his hand and pulled the King of Thailand in, hugged the King of Thailand's shoulders intimately, and said with a smile: "You are the emperor's brother, and you are the prince's honor, and you are a high lord, even if we are discussing business, you don't have to avoid it." ”

The King of Thailand smiled: "As long as the main thing you are discussing is not robbery or kidnapping, I am still happy to participate......

Ren Xiaoyao's face darkened, and he looked at Wen Sen in embarrassment, and Wen Sen was also embarrassed, and smiled wryly.

"This ...... cough, this official is an official of the imperial court, how can he know the law and break the law? Robbery is such a thing...... Ahem, once in a while, refresh your mind, quack......"

The King of Thailand pointed to Ren Xiaoyao, who was smiling dryly, and couldn't help laughing. Looking around, seeing the jar of poisonous wine on the copywriting in the escort room, the King of Thailand was stunned, and a trace of gloom suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then quickly returned to normal.

Ren Xiaoyao happened to see the fleeting gloom in the eyes of the King of Thailand, and couldn't help but froze. The King of Thailand has always given him the impression of a hearty and handsome guy, why does he have such a frightening look in his eyes?

Pointing to the poisonous wine on the case, Ren Xiaoyao wondered: "Does the King of Thailand know this jar of wine?" ”

The King of Thailand still smiled heartily: "I don't know, I'm actually not very good at drinking, and it's a bit interesting to see these flowers, birds, insects and fish carved on the altar, so I took a look at it." ”

Ren Xiaoyao smiled with relief: "This is the Huadiao wine produced in Shaoxing, because these flowers, birds, insects and fish are carved on the altar, so it is called 'Huadiao', His Royal Highness the King of Thailand doesn't even know this?" ”

The King of Thailand smiled: "I have traveled from south to north for many years, how can I not even know this allusion?" I'm just surprised, this is the prefect's yamen's escort room, where officials handle official business, but there is an extra jar of wine on the copywriting for no reason, just a little surprised. ”

Ren Xiaoyao smiled and said in a low voice: "This jar of wine is not ordinary wine, hehe, His Royal Highness the King of Thailand doesn't know yet, right?" Li Boyan, the prefect of Suzhou, I have ordered someone to put him in prison......"

The King of Thailand was stunned again, but there was no abnormal look in his eyes, and he just asked in astonishment, "Why?" The prefect of Suzhou is a five-rank official, and he ...... Did you break the royal law? ”

Ren Xiaoyao said with a smile: "Yes, after verification, and he himself confessed that in the five years since he took office in Suzhou Mansion, he has embezzled millions of taels of taxes and silver that should have been handed over to the national treasury, and his crime is so great that it cannot be forgiven." ”

The king of Thailand sighed, and then sighed deeply: "I don't want to serve the country and be loyal to the monarch for the officials, but I am blinded by this thing outside my body, and I am dizzy, which is really hateful and lamentable!" ”

Raising his eyes and looking at Ren Xiaoyao, the King of Thailand smiled: "Congratulations to Lord Ren, and he has made a contribution to the emperor and the court, and the people say that Lord Ren is the pillar of the country, and the emperor's most powerful arm help, this statement is really true, and it has only been a few days since he went down to the south of the Yangtze River to find out such a big corrupt official, which is really powerful!" ”

Ren Xiaoyao was praised by the King of Thailand, his face was flushed, and he was uncomfortable for a moment, and when he saw that the King of Thailand was silent again, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said shyly and timidly: "His Royal Highness the King of Thailand...... Why don't you continue to praise me? ”

The King of Thailand looked stunned, smiled bitterly, and continued: "...... Ren Da Du was born and died for the first emperor, and made great military achievements, such as today's peace, and went down to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate and punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, its speed is like a god, it seems that the adults not only have the power of Anbang, but also have the great ability to govern the country, go on the horse to manage the army, get off the horse to govern the people, it is really a rare young courtier of the emperor and the court......

Ren Xiaoyao was so praised that he couldn't help laughing, and then tried to put away his smiling face, pretending to be reserved, and said modestly: "...... His Royal Highness the King of Thailand is polite, hehe, polite, His Royal Highness the King of Thailand is good at everything, but there is a shortcoming, you love to tell the truth too much......"

The King of Thailand and Vincent were sweating profusely, and it was really a blessing for the court to have such a shameless Lord Qincha......

※※※

The King of Thailand hurriedly bumped into Ren Xiaoyao at the prefect's yamen, and then went out to meet friends again.

Ren Xiaoyao changed into a moon-white Confucian shirt, played with a folding fan in his hand, led dozens of guards, swaggered out of the yamen, and went shopping.

Li Boyan was secretly detained by the guards, this move did not alarm the officials in the prefect's yamen, Ren Xiaoyao knew that this news could not be spread for the time being, otherwise it would easily cause an uproar in Jiangnan officialdom, and it was more likely to startle the snake, so that the other prefects of the five prefectures would take risks in despair, and the situation would not be easy to control at that time.

The streets of Suzhou are actually similar to the capital, after all, it is a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many peddlers and merchants walking back and forth, compared with the capital, whether it is a hawker selling objects in Suzhou, or a customer who buys things, there is a little more leisurely and tranquil atmosphere, all the people are graceful, like a leisurely stroll.

The reason for the geographical location and historical precipitation, so that the people in Suzhou have long been accustomed to this leisurely life, here for thousands of years rarely encountered wars, and is the gathering place of the world's rich businessmen and gentry, up to the government, down to the people, all with a kind of enjoyment attitude to do everything, walking, wandering, including selling, are not in a hurry, speaking Wu Nong's soft language, low bargaining, secular things are made by Suzhou people, as if with a bit of calm and elegant taste.

The folding fan in Ren Xiaoyao's hand kept unfolding and closing in his hand, and then he turned around a few times very dexterously, and a folding fan was played with by him. This is an elegant skill that must be learned as a gentleman, and Ren Xiaoyao has already played it very skillfully. Coupled with his handsome appearance, a moon-white flowing Confucian shirt, and the guards who followed him openly or secretly, he made his whole person look a little more extraordinary, and his graceful and luxurious temperament attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Ren Xiaoyao was unaware of the gaze of others, and his mind was now full of confusion.

has decided to continue to investigate the people behind the scenes, but where to start, there is no clue, Li Boyan knows everything has been explained, what about other clues? If there is no clue, how can I continue to investigate? Although Ren Xiaoyao has become such a big official, it is the first time for him to investigate the case, and he has no idea for a while.

There was another thing that made him a little puzzled, why was the King of Thailand so gloomy when he looked at the jar of poisonous wine in the custody room just now? He never seemed to have found that the King of Thailand also had such a cold side, although the gloomy look was only fleeting, but it was deeply imprinted in Ren Xiaoyao's mind, that kind of gaze, so eerie that it was terrifying, so that Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but think of the scorpions and snakes that were put into his room, those snakes stared at him, their eyes were glowing with a faint green light, and the eyes of the King of Thailand just now were exactly the same as those snakes.

But...... Why did he look at him like that? What does that jar have to do with him?

Ren Xiaoyao had no intention of admiring the scenery of Jiangnan, turned his head sideways, and said to Wen Sen beside him: "Hey, old Wen, if you suddenly see a jar of wine on the copywriting in the escort room, how will you feel?" ”

Vincent thought for a moment and said, "Somewhat...... Surprised, right? After all, the escort room is a place to handle official business, and there is an extra jar of wine on the copywriting, no matter how you look at it, it feels a bit nondescript......"

"Surprised...... Was he surprised by the gaze just now? Ren Xiaoyao frowned and muttered to himself.

"What are you talking about?"

Ren Xiaoyao shook his head and scratched his head a little irritably. Damn it! Investigating the case is really not a matter of human doing, why don't you just hand it over to the capital and let the fat man send someone else to do it? Lao Tzu is neither Bao Qingtian nor Sherlock Holmes, how can he do such a technical job?

"Look, my lord! There are beautiful women! Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao was troubled, Vinson wanted to pat himself on the back but didn't know where to start, so he pointed to a certain place on the street, trying to divert Ren Xiaoyao's attention.

I have to say that after working together for a long time, Wen Sen really knows the temperament of this top boss very well, and sure enough, Ren Xiaoyao was refreshed when he heard this, and his eyes also showed a faint green light, and he asked urgently: "Where is it?" Where? ”

Vincent Khan, stretched out his hand to find a random direction, and pointed randomly: "Where is it." ”

"Huh? Not bad, Lao Wen's eyes are really vicious, hehe, look at the back, it's really slender and light, it's very good, it's very good! Ha ha. ”

At present, Ren Xiaoyao immediately forgot all his worries, staring at a certain place on the street with a radiant spirit, saliva flowing all over the ground.

Seeing that he had accidentally pointed a finger and really pointed to a beautiful woman, Wen Sen couldn't help but be stunned, stared at it, and saw that in the jewelry and jade store on the right side of the street, a woman with an outstanding figure and a lilac palace skirt was facing away from them, bending down slightly, staring intently at a golden hairpin in the style of a flying phoenix bead.

After settling down, Ren Xiaoyao retracted his saliva, and then walked towards the beautiful woman with a smile on his face.

Watching people from the back is the basic skill that every disciple should have. Appreciating a beautiful woman, you can't judge it only from her appearance, experienced perverts generally start from their figure, and from bottom to top, from back to front, this is the standard for testing whether the pervert is qualified.

First of all, Jin Lian should be small and chic, and those who know how to appreciate beauties should look at the feet of beauties first. Then there are the legs, the legs should be slender, moderately fat and thin, then the buttocks and waist, the buttocks should be round and straight, full of elasticity, the waist should be slender and flexible, and the willows swing like the wind when twisting, and finally the chest, the chest can not be too big, nor too small, too big to appear a little fat, too small to appear too dry and thin......

Ren Xiaoyao looked at the beauty for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that the back of this beauty is obviously very standard, and it is simply a perfect work of art tailored by God for the world. Even if she looks ugly and looks like no salt, just her slender figure is enough to make any man smitten.

The beauty didn't seem to be aware of the pervert's approach, and was still bending over, concentrating on the golden hairpin in her hand, her buttocks protruded when she bent over, plump and seductive, so that Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but be fascinated.

Vincent followed behind Ren Xiaoyao, looking at the back of the beautiful woman, becoming more and more familiar, and the last flash of inspiration flashed, Vincent couldn't help but be shocked, and shouted in a lost voice: "Adults and slow ......"

It's late, when Wen Sen spoke, Ren Xiaoyao had already laughed, suddenly stretched out his colored hand, and gently patted the beauty's prominent buttocks from behind, and grabbed it lightly and heavily, the tentacles were full of elasticity, straight and warped, it was really the best in the world......

The beauty was shocked, and before she had time to turn her head and drink, Ren Xiaoyao's low voice was already in her ears.

"Beauty, is it lonely alone? Like this hairpin? Brother bought you ......"

"Beauty, is it lonely alone? Like this hairpin? Brother bought you ......"

As soon as Ren Yaoyao's lewd words fell, he only heard a continuous and long scream from the beautiful woman, which attracted passers-by to stop and look sideways.

Ren Xiaoyao is overjoyed, this girl's voice is so good, she screams so pleasantly, if she can hook up with her today, she must be upside down with her, the cry is more and more ecstatic, coupled with her round and straight, elastic buttocks, oops, I must hook up with her today, if not, I will send someone to rob ......

This Ren Xiaoyao was making wishful thinking, and the beauty over there had already stopped screaming, and turned her head angrily, revealing her beautiful and beautiful face.

When the two met their eyes, they were both shocked.

"It's you!"

"It's not me!"

Ren Xiaoyao reacted quickly, turned around and left.

"Stop! You shameless disciple! The beauty is obviously not the kind of person who swallows her anger, and when she saw Ren Xiaoyao trying to slip away, she grabbed Ren Xiaoyao's sleeve.

Ren Xiaoyao now regrets that his intestines are green, and he is bitter in his heart, it is not good to touch anyone, but he touched her, Lao Tzu and her are incompatible, and he must have owed her a lot of money in his previous life......

Ren Xiaoyao doesn't have many acquaintances in this Suzhou City, and even fewer women he knows, only one, the third lady of the Han family. ——The beauty who was touched by Ren Xiaoyao is none other than Miss Han San, Han Yizhen.

There are many coincidences in the world, some are beautiful, some are terrible.

The coincidence of Ren Xiaoyao is exactly the kind that is very fatal.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ren Xiaoyao turned his head with a very slow movement, and Chao Han Yizhen smiled awkwardly: "Sister Yizhen, what a coincidence, hehe, huh?" Why are you pulling me with affection? ”

Han Yizhen's pretty face was frosty, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, and she was glaring at Ren Xiaoyao angrily with a hateful and embarrassed gaze.

In recent days, the dark tide in Suzhou City is surging, after the Qin sent to come, it is to stir up this pool of spring water more and more turbid, the Han family is the first family in the south of the Yangtze River, naturally on the cusp, Han Yizhen is responsible for the rise and fall of the family, these days feel exhausted, tired, today's spring is still good, so I brought a few guards and maids out to relax, but I didn't expect to be touched on the buttocks, which makes an unmarried woman embarrassed?

Han Yizhen has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and since she grew up so big, she has never even heard a word of heavy words, let alone being so slight, what makes her especially ashamed is that the person who despises her is actually the world-famous minister, the disciple she has always looked down on, this person is simply a scum! In addition to being ashamed, she even had a little more contempt and hatred for Ren Xiaoyao.

"Lord Ren, you are inferior to me on the street, do you have an explanation?" Han Yizhen took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions.

Ren Xiaoyao was also very embarrassed, and he had to explain when he was touched, how could there be so much truth in the world? Why should I touch you? Because your ass is the roundest and most curvy on the whole street, who will you touch if you don't touch it?

"Ahh Miss Han, you really recognized the wrong person, the person who touched you just now was not me, it was someone else, I don't believe you let me touch you again, the pleasure must be very different from just now......"

"You...... You ......" Han Yizhen was ashamed and angry, she couldn't control her emotions anymore, clenched her petite fists, regardless of everyone's status as a lady, and did something she had always wanted to do,—— the minister of the Qincha.

“…… I'm fighting with you shameless disciple! Han Yizhen was like a little female tiger coming down the mountain, swinging her fist at Ren Xiaoyao like crazy, the tears in her pretty eyes couldn't help but slide down her face, and a pair of small fists couldn't stop hitting Ren Xiaoyao's body, making Ren Xiaoyao scream in mourning.

"Protect your lordship!" Vincent was startled, hurriedly waved his hand, and the guards behind Ren Yao, either explicitly or secretly, appeared at the same time and swarmed up.

Han Yizhen is a young lady of the family, and naturally there are guards accompanying her when she travels, seeing that the situation is serious to the point of street fighting, of course they are not ambiguous, and they all shouted angrily, and met the guards who were free, and the two were tense, and they were ready to fight.

"Ahh Didn't I just touch you, as for it? Ren Xiaoyao fled in embarrassment with his head in his arms, and found that the guards of Shuangren were also about to start, Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Hey! Stop! I'm flirting with Yizhen's sister, what's your business? All give Lao Tzu a step down! ”

This excitement has attracted many people on the street to stop and watch, pointing at Ren Xiaoyao and Han Yizhen one by one, and after a while, the people watching the play have surrounded the three layers inside and three layers outside, and everyone's faces are full of happy smiles, obviously very satisfied with this scene of a weak woman chasing and killing a big man.

Han Yizhen's face was full of tears, at this time she didn't care about losing face, she chased Ren Xiaoyao with her cloak, looking at her posture, she couldn't wait to kill Ren Xiaoyao on the spot before she was willing to give up, such a persistent pursuit made Ren Xiaoyao a headache.

"Miss Han, Miss Han, ah-Grandma Han, just let me go, everyone is watching us, pay attention to the influence, okay? We're all people with heads and faces......"

"A person with a head and a face can still do such a dirty and obscene thing, do you want to be shameless?" Han Yizhen shouted angrily while chasing.

"Ouch...... Wronged me! At that time, you were pouting your ass alone on the street, who did I touch if I didn't touch you? ”

"You...... Bastard! When Han Yizhen heard this, the shame and anger on her pretty face increased, and tears fell again.

"Whoosh"

An unknown object hit Ren Xiaoyao.

"Oops! I've been recruited, Wensen, hurry, help me go back to the pavilion, I want to recuperate, raise for a year and a half, and no one will see ......" Ren Yao tried in vain to get the golden cicada out of its shell.

"Ren Xiaoyao, if you dare to run, I will pour the strength of the entire Han family into the capital to sue you for the royal court, and ask the emperor to make the decision for the Han family!" Han Yizhen choked up and shouted.

Ren Xiaoyao had no choice but to stand still. This girl is like a madman, this is not a threat, look at her embarrassed appearance, maybe she can really do it, if this is the case, this matter will be a big fuss. Ren Xiaoyao is not afraid of the Han family suing the royal court, with the fat man and his friendship, even if he sues him, he will not lose anything, what he is afraid of is that this matter will cause trouble in the capital, if it is known by Qian Yun at home, his good life will be over.

Ren Xiaoyao turned his head helplessly, like a traitor who was caught by Tu Balu, raised his hands high, and said with a bitter face: "Say it first, don't slap your face......"

"Bang!"

※※※

Half an hour later, the Canglang Pavilion in the south of Suzhou City was later renamed in the garden of the Yingqin Pavilion by Lord Qincha. Ren Xiaoyao and Han Yizhen sat in the pavilion, the two were silent, the atmosphere in the pavilion was awkward and silent, the two looked at the lush pines and cypresses in the distance, and the sparkling clear waves of Linqing Pond, just didn't look at each other.

Wen Sen led dozens of guards of the forbidden army, guarding the pavilion with a blank face, glaring at each other angrily with the guards of the Han family from time to time, and the tense atmosphere of the two was not less than at all.

Ren Xiaoyao was still beaten by the angry Han Yizhen, and he was originally at a loss, so he gritted his teeth and suffered Han Yizhen's little fist like a storm.

Twisting his body uncomfortably, the pain coming from his body made Ren Xiaoyao gasp.

"Hiss-" Ren Yao bared his teeth and grinned, his face distorted.

Damn it! back! I used to do this on the streets of Beijing, but how did I get to Suzhou and touch Miss Shijia casually? It seems that this lustful problem has to be quit for the time being, thanks to Miss Han San's lack of martial arts, otherwise I am afraid that I will already be dying at this time......

Han Yizhen's face was calm, but his heart was like a huge wave. She has always been quiet and gentle, but she still can't believe that she actually beat up the minister on the street. Thinking of Ren Xiaoyao's embarrassed appearance of jumping up and down with her head, she wanted to laugh a little, but then she remembered that this hateful guy had done something to her, and the anger that had finally calmed down suddenly came out again.

The corner of his eye was slightly on one side, and Yu Guang saw Ren Xiaoyao gasping in pain, Han Yizhen felt angry and angry, and deserved it! Shameless disciples! If it weren't for the fact that he was the minister of the Qin Mission, and an ordinary man dared to treat her like this, I am afraid that even the corpse would not be able to fight the corpse at this time.

Taking a deep breath, Han Yizhen broke the silence and said lightly: "Say, why do you want to treat me...... Frivolous and rude? ”

Ren Xiaoyao was stunned when he heard this, the embarrassment in his expression flashed, he rolled his eyes, and then sighed bitterly, and said solemnly in a tone of worrying about the country and the people: "...... There has been no clue about the Jiangnan tax case, and the official is deeply troubled......"

"I didn't ask you this, but I asked you, why are you so lighter than me? Are you deliberately humiliating the Han family? ”

"Oh, wronged! I had no clue about the Jiangnan tax case, and I was very depressed, and under the trouble of the official, I wanted to go out and relax......"

Han Yizhen's autumn-like eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was still flat: "So, your method of soothing your troubles is on the street...... Thin woman? ”

Ren Xiaoyao nodded with a comfortable expression, then was startled, and quickly shook his head: "This is a misunderstanding, in fact, I am usually a very serious person, really, you go to the capital to inquire, the life style of Ren Xiaoyao, the prince of Zhongguo, is not an ordinary decent ......"

Han Yizhen secretly clenched his fists again: "Then you still treat me...... Thin and light on me? ”

Ren Xiaoyao glanced at her shyly, lowered his head a little shyly, and said embarrassedly: "...... If you are happy, I am happy......"

“……”

Why didn't you just beat this disciple to death? Han Yizhen's face was full of anger, and his heart was full of remorse.

Originally, she planned to go back to the house after beating Ren Xiaoyao, and after venting her anger, she calmed down again, and now Ren Xiaoyao and the Han family are allied, she feels that she can't be rash at this time, after all, everyone loses, so she and Ren Xiaoyao came to Canglang Pavilion, wanting to discuss the progress of the Jiangnan tax case with him, to see if the Han family can give him any help, only to help him finish the case as soon as possible, will he get out of Suzhou and return to the capital, and he will never have to see him again in the future.

"How's the case going? But what's the difficulty? Han Yizhen, who calmed down, regained his previous wisdom and composure, and every casual question revealed the calm bearing of a wealthy family.

Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that she was finally not entangled in the ass touching incident, shook his head and sighed: "I have taken Li Boyan into custody, but the clues of the whole case have been broken, and there is no way to investigate if you want to, Li Boyan is just being used, except for helping the people behind the scenes to be greedy for money, he doesn't know anything......"

Han Yizhen frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "What about the other five prefects? Don't they know anything either? ”

Ren Xiaoyao smiled bitterly: "I have sent someone to closely monitor the prefect of the five prefectures, but most of it is in vain, since the people behind the scenes dare to spare their lives and do not kill them, presumably they will not know anything valuable......"

Ren Xiaoyao spread his hands, his face full of helplessness: "Now that the whole case has entered a deadlock, I don't know how to break it, because all the clues are broken, and I and my officials are like headless flies, blindly moving around, but we can't find a way out." ”

Han Yizhen glanced at him.

"Hey, your eyes are very problematic, do you think I really look like a fly?" Ren Xiaoyao is sensitive to her gaze.

Han Yizhen pursed his lips and wanted to laugh, thinking that it was wrong, he stiffened his pretty face again, and nodded with a serious face.

This girl is honest, but it's a bit hateful......

The conversation between the two seemed to have reached an impasse, and there was another heart-wrenching silence in the pavilion.

Ren Xiaoyao gritted his teeth, decided to ignore her, turned his head, and looked at the sparkling Linqing Pond outside the pavilion.

Linfeng took his hand, the moon-white Confucian shirt swayed slightly, coupled with his thin figure, and his handsome face that looked slightly solemn when it was serious, Han Yizhen looked at Ren Xiaoyao, and at this moment she suddenly realized that this disciple was actually a little handsome.

This conclusion made her feel a little ashamed, and she hurriedly turned her head away, never looking at him again. Her pretty face turned slightly red uncontrollably, and she felt like two flames burning on her face.

Coughing twice, Han Yizhen took this opportunity to hide the panic in his heart, and said lightly: "Lord Ren, is there anything you need help from the Han family?" ”

Ren Xiaoyao turned around and shook his head with a distressed expression, he didn't even have a clue, how could the Han family help?

Han Yizhen glanced at Ren Xiaoyao and said softly, "Lord Ren, actually...... Tracking down the Jiangnan tax case, maybe you went wrong in the first place......"

"What do you mean?" Ren Xiaoyao looked up and asked.

Han Yizhen chuckled, his eyes showed a wise light again, and his slender jade fingers tapped lightly on the stone table twice, and then smiled lightly: "Do you feel that since you went down to Jiangnan to the present, when you are tracking down the tax case, it seems that you have been led by the nose of the person behind the scenes?" If he doesn't want you to see anything, you will be like now, you will have no clue at all, Lord Ren, with all due respect, if you investigate the case like you, you will not be able to find out the results in ten or eight years, but you have wasted the manpower and material resources of the imperial court......"

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly grabbed Han Yizhen's slender hand, and kept touching and touching, and said eagerly: "Xiaosheng is stupid, I still hope that Sister Yizhen will teach me ......"

Han Yizhen was furious, withdrew his hand vigorously, and swung his fist at Ren Xiaoyao's face without thinking about it.

"Dengzi, look for death!"

"Bang!"

Long.

Ren Xiaoyao sat in the pavilion with a dark eye socket, with a serious expression, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and said with a straight face: "...... Didn't you say that you weren't allowed to slap your face? ”

Han Yizhen also felt embarrassed, but she was quickly relieved, who told this disciple to do something, he deserved it!

"Ahem, Lord Ren, if you really want to listen to the thoughts of the people's daughter, please sit honestly and don't ...... anymore Hands and feet! Han Yizhen bit his lower lip with a little shame.

Ren Xiaoyao nodded hurriedly.

Hurry up to solve the case, hurry home and wait for the birth of your son, who wants to stay in this hellish place? As for the seemingly quiet and stunning young lady in front of her, let's quickly cut off my thoughts about her, Hugh said that the Han family would not agree to her being small, even Qian Yun didn't know how to explain it, not to mention that this girl didn't seem to be interesting to her at all......

"Lord Ren, the reason why there has been no progress in this case so far, the people think that your Ren method is wrong." Speaking of business, Han Yizhen is not afraid of offending people, and in the face of Ren Yaoyao's face, he still talks to himself.

"The person behind the scenes acted viciously and arrogantly, and dared to hold the prefect of the six prefectures hostage at the same time, and swallowed more than 20 million taels of tax silver, if there was no huge power and foundation, it would never be possible, so he seems to be nowhere to be found, but in fact he has left you a lot of clues, but you haven't seen it yourself......"

Ren Xiaoyao said with a solemn expression: "What do you mean is that since he has a huge power, he will never rely on the prefects of the six prefectures to help him embezzle money, and my eyes should not only stay on the prefects of the five prefectures, but should be placed a little further?" ”

Han Yizhen smiled and bowed: "You're not too stupid......"

"Hey, talk well, believe it or not, I'm touching you again......"

"You dare!"

After arguing for a few words, Han Yizhen continued: "The prefects of the six prefectures have one thing in common, they are all coerced and coerced by others, so they have to be driven by others, but you forgot an important thing......

"What's the matter?"

Han Yizhen glanced at him and said leisurely: "There are a total of seven prefectures in Jiangnan, but six of them are held hostage by him, and what about the prefect of one mansion?" Why wasn't he held hostage? Could it be that he is shrewd and has dissolved the trap set for him? Or is he fundamentally the same as the person behind the scenes, and the thief shouts to catch the thief? ”

"Jiaxing Governor Li Huaide?" Ren Xiaoyao exclaimed.

"Li Huaide secretly folded the capital last year, saying that the prefects of the six prefectures in Jiangnan privately swallowed countless taxes and silver, and the first emperor was busy with civil strife at that time, so he couldn't take a hand to deal with this matter, and it dragged on until this year, when the new emperor ascended the throne, and the world was peaceful, so he sent me down to Jiangnan, what do you mean, do you mean that Li Huaide is suspicious?"

Han Yizhen shook his head and said: "I don't mean anything, I just feel curious, how shrewd and vicious the methods of the people behind the scenes, the prefect of the Six Prefectures has been in the officialdom for many years, and the people who are so thoughtful are also in his way, why did Li Huaide alone escape?" Don't you think it's weird? ”

Ren Xiaoyao nodded: "Yes, there is a problem, I haven't thought about it in detail...... Regardless of whether Li Huaide is innocent or not, I will transfer him to Suzhou and ask him in detail in person. ”

Han Yizhen shook his head and said: "The adults are reckless, Shan Xuanjiaxing rushed to Suzhou, this move is inappropriate, if the prefects of the other five prefectures know the news, what will they think?" The so-called thief is weak-hearted, aren't you afraid that they will jump off the wall and make some crazy moves? ”

"It makes sense, invite them all to Suzhou, and say that Ben Qin sent the Son of Heaven to patrol Jiangnan, and according to the usual practice, invite all the prefects of the seven prefectures in Jiangnan to come to Suzhou to report on their work, so that the officials can judge the performance appraisal of officials at the end of the year."

"Your Excellency is wise!" Han Yizhen glanced at Ren Xiaoyao, and said wisely, but it was obviously a little perfunctory.

Ren Xiaoyao really knows Han Yi a deeper level.

Before he went down to Jiangnan, the shadow had a rough idea of the major families in Jiangnan, when mentioning the Han family, the shadow's intelligence showed that the Han family had been indisputable for many years, but the power and financial resources have been thriving over the years, which is not the work of Han Zhu, the head of the Han family, all thanks to Han Zhu's daughter Han Yizhen behind the scenes, the Han family can have the name of the first family in Jiangnan today, and Han Yizhen has made great contributions in it.

This girl is really as smart and intelligent as the rumors, and she is a character.

Ren Xiaoyao smiled, looked at Han Yizhen and said, "Sister Yizhen......"

Han Yizhen frowned, and said coldly: "Lord Ren, the public is public, the private is private, I make suggestions for the adults, but I just practice the promise of the Han family, the people have no friendship with the adults, please respect yourself, don't call it so intimate......"

"Oh, what male is male, female is female, I am male, you are female, you and I are world friends, is it wrong to call your sister? Sister Yizhen, thank you so much today, I didn't expect you to be so smart and clever, a few words let me clear the dark clouds and see the bright moon, hearing my sister's words, such as Daigo*** like a stuffy stick, it is really refreshing, and the thinking is a lot clearer......"

Han Yizhen looked at the sky impatiently and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Lord Ren, is there anything else? It's okay, and the folk girl quit ......"

"Yes, there is another thing that makes me very confused, and I beg my sister to solve my doubts, and the foolish brother is grateful......"

Han Yizhen's pretty face slowed slightly, and said lightly: "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”

Ren Yao glanced at Han Yizhen awkwardly, and his squinting gaze deliberately stayed on her round and straight buttocks, seeing that Han Yizhen was terrified, and the anger in his heart gradually rose.

Licking his lips, Ren Xiaoyao said with a straight face: "Sister Yizhen, you beat me so miserably just now, shouldn't you show it?" I was a dignified minister, and I was chased by a woman on the street...... Ahem, the strategic retreat is really a great loss of face for the court and the official, I think you should compensate me for the mental loss......"

"You still have the face to be compensated?" Han Yizhen's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was cold: "How much are you going to want?" ”

Ren Xiaoyao smiled and held up a finger at her.

"A thousand taels?"

Ren shook his head.

"Ten thousand taels?" Han Yizhen's voice trembled a little, as if he was holding back his anger.

Ren Xiaoyao continued to shake his head.

"How much do you want?" Han Yizhen clenched her fists, she decided that if Ren Xiaoyao really dared to speak, she would not hesitate to punch him to death.

Ren Xiaoyao dangled a finger in front of her, and suddenly smiled: "Let me touch it again......"

"Bang!"

After another dark circle appeared in his eye socket, even Ren Xiaoyao felt that he deserved this punch.

A big girl who hasn't come out of the cabinet, you touch it to take advantage, even if you want to touch it a second time, you shouldn't ask it in front of others, who is not anxious with you?

Ren Xiaoyao covered his eyes and sighed painfully.

I knew this was the case, I should have sneak attacked, and after touching it, I ran away, which not only took advantage of it, but also gave her pleasure, her happiness is my happiness, how good.

Han Yizhen sat on the stone bench on one side, his beautiful face was uncertain, he gritted his teeth and glared at Ren Xiaoyao angrily, and then he was shy, looking at Ren Xiaoyao who sighed and couldn't help laughing, his fair face was full of blush at this time, and he didn't know whether he was ashamed or smiling.

Holding his eyes with one hand, he beckoned to the pavilion with the other.

Vincent immediately kicked up and bowed at Ren Xiaoyao: "My lord, what do you command?" ”

sighed before speaking, Ren Xiaoyao said with a bitter face: "Write a note to the emperor in the capital, write the matter of Li Boyan, the prefect of Suzhou, and ask the emperor to decide, and also, write the progress of this case, by the way, write it in the book, Ben Qin is desperate to solve the case, too heroic, and his face is swollen like a pig's head, please ask the emperor to reward me with millions of taels of silver as medical expenses, if I can change people halfway and let me go back to the capital to recuperate, it will be even better......"

Han Yizhen sneered when he heard this, then tightened his pretty face again, and snorted softly.

Wen Sen glanced at Han Yizhen with a difficult face, and said in a low voice, "My lord...... Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Li Boyan's matter is just the beginning of the whole case, and if it is sent so early, will the emperor think that the Jiangnan tax case is too easy, if the emperor replies to us to solve the case within a time limit, we will be passive......"

Ren Xiaoyao waved his hand indifferently, and said seriously: "Lao Wen, you have to have a few more eyes in everything, you can't blindly bury your head in things, you have to raise your head often, look at the boss's face, whether things are done beautifully, whether you do it well or not, it's not up to you to have the final say, it's up to your boss to have the final say, so you have to always observe the boss's look, the boss is happy, you go on, the boss is angry, hurry up and change the way of doing things, ask for instructions early and report late, this is all necessary, in the officialdom, these things can't be understood......"

Vincent thought for a moment, and then showed a look of sudden realization, and he didn't know if he really understood, or if he was purely in favor of Ren Yao.

Ren Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, and then said, "...... This place is not far from the capital, after the fold is handed over, within two days, the emperor should have a will to come down, and after the emperor's will comes down, you will invite all the prefects of the other six prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River to Suzhou City in the name of Ben Qincha, and say that Ben Qincha follows the usual practice, and please go to Suzhou to report on your work......

After thinking about it, what if those prefects didn't dare to come? Ren Xiaoyao thought for a long time, and then added: "...... The official document implicitly mentions it, saying that Ben Qin is tired of traveling and unbearable, if you want to honor Ben Qincha, you can bring things yourself, Ben Qin has always been approachable, and those who come do not refuse, hehe......"

What are corrupt officials afraid of? Of course, they are afraid of Qing officials, but now that Lao Tzu is clearly an official who is more greedy than them, they will be so happy that they will take me as their father, how can there be any reason not to come? Lao Tzu not only accepted the red envelope, but also achieved his goal, killing two birds with one stone, he is really a genius......

Vincent nodded and wrote them down one by one, thought about it again, and suddenly raised his head, stared at Ren Xiaoyao with adoring eyes, and said excitedly: "My lord, it's high!" ”

"Oh? Where does Gao come from? Ren Yao stared at Vinson with a radiant expression, waiting for his sycophants to be sent in a steady stream.

"Concentrate the prefects of the seven prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River in Suzhou City, investigate and interrogate them one by one, and you can always find clues, and avoid being killed by the people behind the scenes, your lord is really smart!"

Wen Sen's series of clever and powerful sycophants made Ren Yao dizzy, and looked up to the sky and smiled: "Wahahahaha, it's over, it's over, it's not modest to say, it's just a small skill of carving insects, it's not worth mentioning, hehe, the official's IQ is as high as one hundred and eighteen, and it is natural to solve cases, and the people of the world say that I have the talent to stabilize the country, and this seems to be ......."

"It's true, it's true......" Vinson replied at the right time, an old face full of flattery.

Han Yizhen on the side couldn't see it, and interjected coldly: "I came up with this idea." ”

"Ga ......"

The two big men who were touting themselves were like roosters who had been choked by the neck, and they choked together, bent over and coughed violently, and their faces turned purple with coughing, and they gasped for a long time before they evened their breath.

Straightened up and looked at each other, the two big men didn't say anything very tacitly, one bowed down and wrote a fold, and the other stood in the pavilion against the wind, as if nothing happened, facing the spring and mountains outside the pavilion full of agitation, a face of worry and worry about the world, and performed very seriously.

※※※

At the same time, in a remote and dark house in the north of Suzhou, Yang Cheng knelt on the ground and trembled, his right little finger was tightly wrapped, but the blood still seeped out through the gauze, and the gauze was red, which looked extremely scary.

The little finger was cut off by himself, which was the master's punishment for his incompetence.

Yang Cheng gritted his teeth and tried his best to hold back the pain from his little finger. His face twitched uncontrollably, and his face was already covered with beads of sweat, but he didn't even have the courage to raise his hand to wipe it.

"Say! How could it fail? The jar of poisonous wine is colorless and tasteless, and it can corrode people's internal organs to smithereens when it is entered, but now Ren Xiaoyao is alive and well, and not a single hair is missing. Yang Cheng, is this how you do things for me? The master's voice was as eerie as ever, but today's gloomy tone was mixed with a bit of anger and dissatisfaction.

Yang Cheng trembled when he heard this, hurriedly slammed his head on the floor, and said in a trembling voice: "Your subordinates will die!" In fact, everything was arranged according to the plan, but the problem was the little guy who poured wine in the Han Mansion, who accidentally spilled a few drops of wine, and his deeds were revealed. ”

"Humph! One of my brilliant moves was ruined by you! I can't wait to break your body into pieces to quench the hatred in my heart! ”

Yang Cheng was prostrate on the ground, not daring to move, cold sweat on his body was like rain, and soon his entire back was soaked.

"What a good strategy to be able to kill Ren Xiaoyao and to plant the charge of murdering Qin Cha on the head of the Han family! Yang Cheng, you really deserve to die, you have made the whole thing more complicated! ”

Yang Cheng's face was as dead as ashes, and his pale face was full of despair.

"Lord! Please spare your subordinates the next time, allow your subordinates to make meritorious contributions, and your subordinates will definitely cut off Ren Xiaoyao's head with their own hands and present it to the Lord! ”

After this incident, Ren Xiaoyao must become more and more cautious, and his side is more vigilant, how can he succeed in a hurry? That's it, the assassination of Ren Yao is put aside for the time being, we have more important things to do. ”

Yang Cheng finally quietly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his head and said respectfully, "Yes, Lord." The Turkic Khan king Mesi sent messengers asking for a meeting with the Lord. ”

Behind the curtain, the master was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "What conditions did Mo Si put forward to help me send troops?" ”

"He wants all the land, cities and people north of the Yangtze River in my Hua Dynasty, after the Lord ascends the throne, our Hua Dynasty army and Mo Si join forces to jointly exterminate the Gulu Khan, help him unify the grassland, and from then on the two countries will cease their troops and never say war."

"Humph! All the land cities north of the Yangtze River, silently sipping his big appetite! Yang Cheng, you go and tell the envoy, at most I will only assign Youzhou to him, if he doesn't agree, forget it, it is not easy to sip his own on the grassland, the combination will benefit both sides, and the division will be lost, he will understand this truth. ”

"Yes."

After a pause, Yang Cheng opened his mouth and asked, "Lord, then let it ...... away"

"Let it go? Let him check, the tax money in Jiangnan has already been used by me as military expenses, and when he finds out, I have already joined forces with the Turks to attack the capital, Zhongguo Gong, hum! See how long you can be a loyal prince, if I ascend the throne as the emperor, the first thing I will do is to punish you for being a family full of people! ”

Ren Xiaoyao wrote down the events in Suzhou City one by one on the fold, and sent someone to send them to the palace in the capital as soon as possible.

Two days later, the will of the Fat Emperor came down.

The will is very concise, first of all, he praised Ren Yao for doing things properly, impartially, not in vain, under the great joy of the fat emperor's dragon heart, he rewarded Ren Mansion with one hundred taels of silver, a little meaning. Then he ordered Ren Xiaoyao to continue to investigate the tax case, dig deep into the root cause of the crime, and give Ren Xiaoyao the right to arbitrarily make decisions, that is, to appoint, dismiss, or even kill all military and political officials in the seven prefectures in Jiangnan, which is equivalent to giving Ren Xiaoyao a sword that is still in charge, and it is necessary to clean up the officialdom in Jiangnan.

As for the on-the-spot substitution that Ren Xiaoyao requested, the fat man sternly refused. and brought a message to Ren Xiaoyao, you can have entertainment after work, but you are not allowed to make other people's daughters' stomachs bigger, otherwise Qian Yun will start a surge, and the consequences will be very serious, Luo Yueniang is a lesson from the past......

In the hotel, Ren Xiaoyao threw the holy decree on the table with a disdainful face, and the corners of Wen Sen's mouth on the side were grinning.

Holy decree, how many ministers have been officials for a lifetime and may not be able to get the will given to him by the emperor, who is not trembling with the holy decree, such as obtaining the treasure, as the ancestors to worship, leaving for future generations to admire and worship? It's good for Lord Ren to take the holy decree as if he were a diaper, and throw it around......

"Reward Ren's family with a hundred taels of silver? Dead fatty, are you really embarrassed to say it......" Ren Xiaoyao waved his fist and looked indignant: "Are you rewarding me or burying me?" I gave you 10 million taels for the treasury, and I didn't blink my eyelids, so you gave me 100 taels in turn? It's not enough to drink a meal of flowers......"

Wen Sen hurriedly smiled and said: "My lord, it's enough to save a little, and my subordinates can drink a meal of flower wine for thirty taels......"

"Shut up! Worthless guy! ”

Snorted dissatisfied, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly laughed again, and the laughter was extremely disgusting: "The dead fat man is stingy, I will earn my own money, hehe, the prefects of the Jiangnan provinces will definitely not be so stingy......"

On the sixth day of his inspection in Suzhou, Lord Qin sent an official document to the prefects of the Jiangnan provinces, which was very unusual, and the prefects of the prefectures were stunned and surprised when they saw the official documents.

The official document is very simple, after the Lord Qincha arrived in Suzhou, because he was not satisfied with the water and soil, his body was sick, and he was not good at doing it, but the errand of inspecting the south of the Yangtze River on behalf of the Son of Heaven had to be done, so please ask the prefects of each prefecture to work a little, and bring all kinds of data under the rule of the government, such as the population of the people, land, merchants, agriculture and mulberry pushing, river management, etc., all of them will be brought to Suzhou, and then, the Lord Qincha will pretend to flip over, and by the way, talk to the prefects of each province with a few words of confidant, everyone is happy to eat and drink, go through the motions, That's it for patrolling Jiangnan, hello, hello, everyone.

This is nothing, mainly the last sentence of the official document, which made the prefects of various prefectures dumbfounded.

The last sentence really has the finishing touch: Ben Qincha worked hard day and night for the country and the people, so that he was tired at work, so conscientious, hard-working and honest Lord Qincha is really a blessing to the court and a blessing to the people, so do you prefects also express it? You don't have to send too much, 8,000 taels per person, and Lord Qincha will take it to buy medicine to replenish his body......

After reading the official document, the expressions of the prefects of each prefecture were almost identical, Leng Leng sat still, his face kept twitching, and he looked like he wanted to cry and laugh, as if he had been pointed, and he couldn't move for a long time.

Qin Cha fell ill and asked the prefects of various prefectures to report on their work in Suzhou, which is nothing to say, but from ancient times to the present, which dynasty and which generation of official documents, dare to blatantly ask for bribes? Moreover, as if he was afraid that the prefects of the various prefectures would not understand, he even wrote down the specific amount of silver to send, if this official document was known by those officials in the court, Lord Qincha would not be afraid of being drowned by their spittle stars?

The prefects thought about it carefully and couldn't help but start laughing again.

None of them have seen Ren Xiaoyao, but the name of Ren Xiaoyao is like thunder, there have been rumors in the court in Beijing, saying that this Lord Ren is an out-and-out corrupt official, and insatiable, it can be said that it can be said that the goose has plucked its feathers, and the dung has tasted, but I didn't expect the rumors to be true, and I dare to ask for a bribe in the official document, this Lord Ren is probably the first person in the past, right?

However, this is great news for the prefects of the five prefectures who are suspected of the Jiangnan tax case.

Originally, they were uneasy about Ren Xiaoyao's inspection of Jiangnan, and they couldn't live all day, they knew how much tax and silver they were greedy for, and if they were found out by Ren Xiaoyao, it would not be enough to cut their heads a hundred times, so when they knew that Ren Xiaoyao went down to Jiangnan, they only felt that the end was approaching, and they counted down their lives every day, and they could live one day at a time.

But this official document that was free to be free was like seeing the light of day through the dark clouds, and after the prefects pondered it carefully, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

It turns out that this Lord Qincha is also a corrupt official, so this matter is much easier. What are corrupt officials most afraid of? Of course, it is those who are upright and upright, and those who have clean sleeves and capable officials. Judging from the official documents of Lord Ren, it is obvious that Lord Ren has nothing to do with the word "incorruptible", and now this Lord Ren has just not beaten the gong and drum to tell them that he is also a fellow believer, what else do these prefects have to worry about?

When a big corrupt official comes to investigate a small corrupt official, what can he find out? Except for Lord Qincha's full return, there will be no change in Jiangnan officialdom at all.

At that moment, the prefects no longer hesitated, and the carts were filled with expensive and rare gifts, and they set off on the same day, with happy faces, and went straight to Suzhou.

Of course, there are exceptions.

After reading the official document, Li Huaide, the prefect of Jiaxing, sighed obscurely, didn't say anything, brought a few entourages, didn't bring any gifts, and went on the road alone.

Two days later, the prefects of the seven prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, except for Li Boyan, the prefect of Suzhou who was imprisoned, the prefects of the other six prefectures gathered in the yamen of the prefect of Suzhou, and gathered together with the lord of the Qin Charen, and the corrupt officials of all sizes celebrated and congratulated, lamenting that they had not been beheaded for many years of corrupt officials, and everyone couldn't help but sigh, and praised the wisdom and martial arts of our emperor in unison, and sincerely wished that our emperor would live long live, and they themselves could be greedy for 22,000 taels......

Only Li Huaide, the prefect of Jiaxing, hung his head silently, looking gloomy.

The prefects seemed to know something, and they kept a certain distance from him, and their eyes looked at him with a little hostility and disdain.

The prefects respectfully presented the gift list, and Ren Xiaoyao took it, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and even the superficial polite etiquette was impatient to do it, and he couldn't wait to run to the warehouse where the gifts were stacked in the back hall of the yamen.

The golden light in the warehouse, and the mountains of rare gifts that caught Ren Yao's eyes, made him dizzy, and almost got carried away and pounced.

"It's all for me?" Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were bubbling with small stars, and even his eyeballs were glowing with a faint green light.

"Yes, yes, the adults work hard for the country and the people, and the commissions are too hard, and the lower officials are moved by the selfless dedication of the adults who are not self-interested and specialize in benefiting others, so they ......"
