However, it was said that Jia Cong pretended to be Gao Li's nephew and saw many nonsensical tax donation books in Ping'an Prefecture from Li Wen, the commander of Angu County, all of which were sent down by the superiors, and he couldn't help but doubt the character and IQ of this cousin. At one point, Li Wen asked them where they were staying, and he said: "We are going to Beijing to buy the birthday gift of the old lady, and I am afraid it will be inconvenient to store these things elsewhere." I don't know if the adults can make it convenient and borrow your office to temporarily store overnight. ”

Li Wen hurriedly agreed. He was a little embarrassed and said, "It's just that we have nothing to entertain in the backwoods." ”

Jia Cong said: "Adults don't have to be busy, there are restaurants in your county, and I invite adults to have a meal as a thank you for your uncle." ”

How could Li Wen ever heard of high-ranking officials and nobles inviting the small county magistrates under him to dinner? Originally, there was a vague doubt in my heart, but this time it was all gone.

Gong Kunnai asked, "I don't know if there are many inns in your county?" There were quite a few of us on this tour. ”

Li Wen smiled bitterly: "The inn naturally has it, but it's not good." Then he thought for a while and said, "Why don't you ask Young Master Gao to be wronged in the county government for one night?" ”

Jia Cong said: "I'm afraid I can't live." Only a few of them will be left in the county office, and I will take a closer look at all this mess of taxes at night. ”

Li Wen hurriedly agreed, and arranged for the carriages and horses outside to come in and clean up the house with them. Jia Cong, Jia Huan, Gong Kun, Liu Feng, Xiaoxi and others were ready to read the accounts at night, so they lived in the county office; Everyone else went to live outside. For a while, Li Wen led them to the best restaurant in the county, according to Jia Cong, it was just a farmhouse, and the taste was good. Before leaving, Gong Kunte gave money according to the price, a lot of money, and a lot of money. Seeing that many people from above and below were eating and drinking for nothing, and even this incident made Li Wen sigh for a long time, Jia Cong suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

After returning to the county office, Jia Cong took the lead, and several people unscrupulously checked the accounts. Li Wen only thinks that he is a precocious young master, and he can go alone to buy birthday gifts for the old lady, which is unusual; and hoped that he could exempt the county from some miscellaneous taxes and give whatever he wanted. Later, Gong Kun quietly added some ingredients to the old man's boiled water and let him sleep first.

Mi'er looked at the account book of the long case and sighed: "If Du'angu County is like this, it's just that." If this is the case everywhere, the world will collapse. ”

Jia Cong smiled: "No." This is a poor county, and even if there is a civil uprising, it will not be able to cause much turmoil. If you are rich today, you will not be able to collapse for decades or even hundreds of years if you only increase your taxes. ”

Jia Huan glanced at him: "Will you die if you don't sell Guanzi?" Say it quickly. ”

Jia Cong pursed his lips: "Why did you ever sell Guanzi?" I haven't had time to say yet. The people of the world are very patient. Judging from this account book alone, I am afraid that we made a sin two years earlier. These taxes were gradually increased from the following year after we came up with the plan. He sighed, "The six kings are worried about the destruction of the Son of Heaven, and they must secretly want to raise soldiers. Raising soldiers is the most expensive thing in the world, and they need money more than ever. The Gao family is about the loyalist of the sixth prince, so they naturally began to scrape the land of Ping'an Prefecture for their master. He began to scrape, and he scraped elsewhere. Hey, I didn't pay attention to create a sin. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be silent when they heard this, and after a while, Jia Huanqiang smiled and said, "It may not be...... I can't keep it......" he couldn't go any longer, and patted his forehead, "That's it, it's wrong, it's wrong, I admit it." ”

Jia Cong said: "Fortunately, I have heard that there is a civil uprising somewhere, and it is about too late for them to stop now." ”

A cold glint flashed in Gong Kun's eyes and said: "Third Master, those who achieve great things are not informal, and this is beneficial to us." ”

Jia Cong turned his head and glanced at him: "Is this a small section?" ”

Gong Kun said: "The world is peaceful, the Son of Heaven has no rule over anything, and the only person is the only one to decide, this is what you said." ”

Jia Cong said: "That's right, I said it. But I didn't say that if the world is in chaos, it's not the Son of Heaven. Now that our dynasty is rich, a few princes and princes can't be squeezed out in just a dozen years. Excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes have existed in ancient times, and Liu Hedong used to do it, how about taxes at that time? However, his article was written a hundred years later, and the Tang Dynasty fell. I have said many times, and the people of the world are very patient. Life is not as good as before, and they can endure it; If they can't get by, they can endure it; There is only one food and clothing left, and they can still endure it. Besides, you can go and live as a slave. Unless most of the people in the world can't live, there is no food at home, there are no wild animals in the suburbs, and there are orders like yellow scarves, they will rebel in groups. What is the difference between ordinary small county residents? Just summon all the way to destroy it. ”

Jia Huan frowned and said, "According to you, there is no way?" What if the saint really bullies our family in the future, or is tired by the East Mansion? ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "As long as the princes do not make mistakes, the princes are rich and the emperors are poor, no matter whether the world is scattered or not, they can pinch the hands and feet of the saints." ”

Gong Kun said: "Isn't it like this now, the princes are rich and the emperor is poor? ”

Jia Cong said: "The wealth of the princes is not in the princes' mansions, but in the people's popularity under the rule of the princes and the princes themselves. The world is rich, and business travelers can make money, so why scrape the land of ordinary people? No matter how bad it is, you can rob the rich and help the poor. Of course, robbing the rich and helping the poor is not a natural thing, only robbing the enemy, even if it robs the court tax silver. In my opinion, the current situation is incompatible with the end of the dynasty, and it is extremely difficult to break up the court in ten or twenty years. Only by taking the road of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the dynasty is still there, but the emperor may not be stronger than the princes regardless of money, food and soldiers, so that he can tie his hands and feet and make him dare not act rashly. ”

Gong Kun thought for a long time when he heard this: "It sounds like it makes some sense. ”

Jia Cong said: "It's our idea to join in, and we have to clean up this mess ourselves." Nai looked back at Mi'er, "I'm afraid I'm going to trouble my brother." ”

Mi'er thought for a while: "Since we have caused great trouble for the world by being careless, it is nothing for me to come out." It's just that if I remind the sixth prince for no reason, wouldn't it let him get his shortcomings? I can't trust him, for I am afraid that he will think that our hearts are on the people, and that it will become more and more difficult for us to persecute the innocent in the future. ”

As soon as his words fell, Wu Xiaoxi clapped his hands and smiled: "Brother Er'er is also a dead eye. Won't you take this and exchange this with the sixth prince for your brother's daughter-in-law? ”

Everyone was stunned.

Xiaoxi said: "After such a while, the eldest brother was also sent there, and there are all kinds of beautiful girls there, I haven't seen him have the slightest thought about others." ”

The corners of Jia Cong's eyes drooped: "You won't go to Xiaoxi often." ”

Xiaoxi said: "Mr. often goes, so I naturally go with him." ”

Jia Cong and Jia Huan rolled their eyes at Gong Kun in unison. Gong Kun said with a smile: "Xiaoxi is a girl, if you want to achieve great things, you should see all kinds of things in the world." The green building is the most knowledgeable place for girls. ”

Xiaoxi waved his hand and said, "Don't divert the topic." Although the six kings are united, there are always people who want to be leaders. The sixth prince was only afraid that the thoughts were heavier than those next to him, because it was his mention in the first place. I think the eldest brother is an infatuated person, and no one may know about the eighth prince's calculation of him. It's better for the younger brother to make a deal with the sixth prince, and help the eldest brother get his daughter-in-law for a limited period of two years, thinking that two years will be enough for the sixth prince to cut off the sister and the eighth prince completely-it is too eye-catching to get people in immediately, but I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of the eighth prince. Seeing that everyone was stunned, she snorted, "I know that you only coaxed the eldest brother over at that time, and no one paid attention to what he thought in his heart." ”

After a while, Mi'er said: "I heard my father say that the family business is stopped, and talking about it every two years is just an excuse for him to gradually understand." ”

Xiaoxi said: "What if he doesn't understand it in two years? ”

None of the people in this house have ever been in love, Jia Cong has talked about it in his previous life, and the breakup has only been uncomfortable for half a year, and he forgot about it when he fell into the Warcraft, and he couldn't help but look at each other. Jia Huan muttered: "It doesn't seem to be cost-effective, such an important *ug is replaced by an ordinary woman." ”

Mi'er waved her hand and said, "Although that woman is ordinary, my brother is very important." ”

Liu Feng also said: "That's fine, if the younger brother takes his brother very seriously, the sixth prince will not fight his family's idea again unless he is stupid." ”

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Actually, I also feel a little lost, this deal is not cost-effective." Horizontal and vertical is to make up for our own mistakes, cheaper is cheaper. ”

The matter was settled. They looked at the account books for half a night, and because of the rare opportunity, they all saw the dawn, and they all crawled to sleep on the kang before Li Wen woke up. Fortunately, Li Wen's family is in his hometown, and he can't afford to hire a servant, so no one finds out.

On the other hand, Wu You was not idle. He was already an old thief, and at dinner, Gong Kun only inquired about Li Wen like gossiping, and the family surnamed Pan, who was worried that someone in the court did not pay taxes, was the uncle of the third grandmother of the Dingcheng Hou Mansion. Since this person is not among the relatives of Rongguo Mansion, who is still polite to him? That night, Wu You led a group of brothers to easily climb over the courtyard wall of the Pan family - compared to the high wall of the Rongguo Mansion, this place is simply flat, pry open the storeroom of the house and sneak in to see: there are no good things, they are all worthless furniture ornaments, Wu You and the others are well-informed and don't look down on it at all. Besides, what Li Wen lacks now is money, and these things are useless. He was also bold, and went straight to the people's tents, but he found only a hundred or so pieces of silver. After a few of them discussed, they didn't even have much money in the tent, so they had to go to the main owner.

I just heard Li Wen say that this old man Pan is already sixty-five years old, and he actually has a six-room little wife! They wandered around and pierced several windows before finding him, sleeping with a concubine in his arms. Wu You flicked the pin open in front of the door, quietly went in with his face covered, first raised his hand to knock the little concubine unconscious, and seeing that Old Man Pan was about to wake up, he suddenly pinched his throat. Old man Pan couldn't say a word. Wu You said in a hoarse voice: "What about the silver?" ”

Old man Pan only stared.

Wu You tore off a piece of tent and plugged his mouth, twisted his arms in one place with his backhand, took a small piece of clothes and tied them up at will, and kindly put on a big robe for him, and said in a low voice: "Take money for your life, otherwise I can find it myself if I kill you." ”

The old man still stared at him motionless.

Wu You thought about it, he couldn't keep this a miser, and he was afraid that it would take a lot of effort to ask, so he woke up the little concubine.

The concubine woke up in a trance, and suddenly saw a masked man in front of her, and was so shocked that she was about to speak out and was covered by Wu You's mouth with one hand: "Do you know where this old man hid the silver?" If you say it, you can still live, or go underground and accompany him. ”

The little concubine hurriedly said: "There is a secret compartment in the master's study, and the bulk of silver is in it." ”

The old man immediately screamed and pounced, Wu You pinched him with one hand, and sneered: "Half of your body is about to go into the ground, this little lady is only seventeen or eighteen, and she is not afraid of lack of virtue!" ”

When the little concubine heard this, tears fell like rain, and she looked at Wu You pitifully with a pair of lacquered eyes. Although Wu You is young, he is also a merry man, and said with a smile: "This little lady, has he done anything to lose his conscience?" ”

The concubine hurriedly said, "It's more! In his early years, at home, I often heard that he robbed other people's land, grabbed other people's livestock, and killed people! He also snatched it...... "I cried because of the hum.

She wanted to elaborate further, but Wu You didn't have time at this time, so she hurriedly said: "It's enough to kill someone." He stretched out his hand and pinched the neck of the old man. Old Man Pan whimpered violently.

Wu You smiled: "Do you want to give back the money?" ”

Old man Pan nodded again and again.

Wu You snorted: "Did you give the money earlier?" So he put on his shoes and pressed him to the study.

When he arrived at the study of the Pan family, the old man Pan trembled and opened the secret grid, and there were many silver ingots neatly lined up, not to mention thousands of taels. Wu You was also not polite, raised his hand to knock him unconscious, whistled, and the brothers all came in and shared the points equally, and left.

Wu You then carried the old man back to the concubine's house with one hand, and the concubine had already changed her clothes. Wu Younai asked her, "Is there anyone in your family who doesn't have any?" ”

The concubine said: "Father and brother are here. ”

Wu You frowned, raised his hand and knocked her unconscious again.

Even if he was smarter than ordinary children, he was only a teenager, and for the first time tonight, he was a rookie, and he was quite reckless, and he was very ill-conceived. Now he can't deal with this woman, so he has to tie the old man Pan to the kang first, and then go to the study to get a pen and paper and write in the moonlight: "There is a beautiful person, the green forest oppresses the village, such as the reckless Uncle Weng, and the door is full of destruction." ”

A brother smiled and said, "Brother Ang is ready to take her into the village?" ”

Wu You waved his hand and said, "Where did we bring people?" It's just a trick. Go back first, and I'll settle the woman." ”

Everyone was not big, and they didn't think much about it, so they went back to the inn first. Wu You put the note threatening Old Man Pan on his concubine's dresser; Because he found out that there were many empty houses in this county town when he stepped on the spot in the afternoon, he sent the woman into an empty house quite close to Pan's house to wake her up.

The woman knocked him unconscious twice in one night, and she was also a little frightened and shrank on the kang. Wu You said about the matter of Fang Cai, and finally said: "My family is a king, and everything must be asked at both ends before it can be decided. At this time, I won't interrogate him, so I don't know if he really has a life on his hands, and it is inconvenient to deal with it. He was frightened tonight, and tomorrow he will be flustered for a while. And thou shalt take these pieces of silver, and a hundred taels of it, and smear thy face with some dust to-morrow morning, and flee out of the city. I left a message to scare him. He explained the note in detail, "It's on your dresser." He didn't dare to mess with your family when he saw it. After that, seeing that the woman was still demented, she didn't dare to stay for a long time, so she ran away. I went back and thought about it for a long time, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this matter was full of omissions, and I was so worried that I didn't sleep.

Early the next morning, before Li Wen got up and Jia Cong had just fallen asleep, someone beat the county government's drum of grievances to the ground, and there was a cry at the door. "The thief who died hurt my master~~~"

The official hurriedly came in and woke up Li Wen, and said in a panic: "My lord, it's not good, the old man of the Pan family let the thief kill him last night!" "Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
