After eating, the little guys were busy serving tea again, and they were very attentive. Hongcui drank tea, looked around the house, flipped through the east and west, and muttered: "I don't understand, how can the magistrate also be the head of a county, how can you say that you will be killed if you kill?" Besides, since Li Hao is known as the ticket of the king of Hades, he must have killed more than one official, why is no one in the court careless? Didn't his cousin do the imperial history in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, wouldn't he just get a book? ”

Randie echoed and said: "Sister Hongcui said it well, said it well, and said it well. Presumably, this Li Hao has some connections in the court, dare to be the emperor's brother-in-law? ”

Gege reprimanded: "What nonsense? There is no concubine surnamed Li by the emperor's side, where is the brother-in-law? ”

The butterfly didn't dare to squeak, and said in his heart, although there are no concubines surnamed Li in the three palaces and six courtyards around the emperor, there are palace maids surnamed Li. What is a brother-in-law? If you want to mess with butterflies, how many brothers-in-law do you dare to have? But he didn't dare to say this, so he could only justify it in his heart.

Seeing that Gege's face was not very good, he was busy offering tea. Gege took a sip and ordered: "There are some things that are related to the face of the court, you should be careful what you say, don't just talk nonsense." ”

The four guards, Hongcui, and the picture screen all bowed their heads and said yes. Gege was finishing his order, only to see Lan Hong outside asking, "Is Qing Gege inside?" ”

Gege replied, "Come in." ”

Lan Hong pushed the door in, and said, "There is nothing to entertain in the house, Qing Gege eats quite deliciously, isn't it?" If Qing Gege needs anything, just tell Lan Hong, or tell the housekeeper Chai Peng the same. If any of the subordinates do not take good care of them, please teach them a good lesson. ”

"They're doing a great job," Gege said. No need to be taught. But you have time now, I want to hear what Lan Zhixian was killed for. ”

Lan Hong replied, "Gege doesn't ask." Lan Hong also has to talk about it. ”

Gege said, "Just right, you sit down and talk." ”

Lan Hong said he didn't dare. But he still reclined and sat down. After that, he said: "My brother is upright, but Li Hao is a feminine villain. He is kind on the surface, but he hides a knife in his smile, and he will make stumbling blocks behind his back. If you want to talk about my brother's holiday with Li Hao, it is not once or twice. Li Hao is greedy for money, and last year, in order to get more money, he ordered the county to pay an extra tax on people. As long as it's a person from the house. Whoever has an extra son and a half daughter must pay an additional tax of one hundred taels and one or twenty taels at the least. Qing Gege thought that if this tax was spread on the big and wealthy households, it would be nothing; It's just that the small family has to pay this twenty taels, how can they afford it? Besides, there is no tax collector at home and abroad, so why should Hangzhou have to pay more money out of thin air? But Li Hao is a parent after all. How dare the following county governments disobey? As a result, all the counties in the prefecture were indignant and handed over this silver, except for Jinhua County. My brother was originally the head of a county, and he was upright by nature. said, this kind of ambiguous silver, Lan Jun said that he would not hand it over. He also said that he wanted Jinhua County to pay the tax. Unless he doesn't deserve this Jinhua Zhi County. ”

Gege praised: "Lanzhi County is really a good official!" Because of this person's Ding tax, Governor Li killed Lanzhi County? ”

Lan Hong continued: "Then Li Hao didn't say anything on the surface. A few days ago. He also came to Jinhua County to inspect and praised my brother, saying that Jinhua County is well governed, and at the end of the year, the official performance evaluation must be the top class, if not the top class, at least the middle class. My brother also felt that he was not a person who would repay him, and said that although Governor Li was greedy for money, he was still honest as an official, and he was also a good official. A few days later, he inspected the prison in Jinhua County and inquired about the people's situation, and he looked like a good official. My brother also stayed with me for a few days, and they had a good time. Six days ago, Li Hao said that he wanted to return to Hangzhou. Naturally, my brother had to do something for him. Li Hao also agreed, and arranged a banquet in the inner courtyard of the county government. My brother was honest, and he never imagined that he would cause trouble in the county office, so he was relieved to go alone. The Yanai chef made a table of noodles, Li Hao sat on the head, and my brother sat down on the head. At the table, the two talked very speculatively. Who knew that he belonged to a dog, his face changed when he said it, and at the sound of an order, his own soldiers came out, carrying a single knife, and actually killed my brother. After that, they left Jinhua County. ”

Speaking of this, Lan Hong came from it and cried: "Pity my brother for being an official Qingming, and he was killed for nothing." My brother still has a thirteen-year-old nephew in his family, an orphan and a widow, how can they live in the future? ”

Gege asked, "Don't cry!" Why don't you report such a big matter to the court? If the emperor knows, how can Li Hao be so bold? ”

Lan Hong replied, "Why doesn't Lan Hong want to?" It's a pity that Lan Hong is just a commoner, although Jingshi has a cousin who does imperial history in the Metropolitan Inspectorate, but this kind of thing, the cousin is afraid and can't manage it. ”

Gege replied, "You're wrong. I've known Brother Ling Jianzhang for a few days, but I've heard a lot about Jianzhang's person. I dare to say, if you tell him the truth, he will definitely participate in Li Hao's book. ”

Lan Hong said again: "Lan Hong also thought about taking a risk, but Qing Gege didn't know anything. Some people have done this before, because they are not satisfied with Li Hao's greed for taxes, and they secretly play the emperor. But Li Hao bought Gao Wuyong, the eunuch in the palace, and everything was stopped by him, plus Gao Wuyong was thoughtful in front of the emperor, and he fulfilled nine out of ten things, even if one was not thorough, it was also confused. In addition to being greedy for money, Li Hao is quite dedicated to being an official, so most of the emperor will turn a blind eye. ”

Gege said in his heart, Gao Wuyong is quite honest in front of her, why didn't he know that he would also do this kind of thing to befriend ministers? This is a capital crime, so it is better to be cautious.

Lan Hong saw that Gege was silent, and said straight that she and Li Hao also had some friendship, didn't he move a stone to hit himself in the foot at that time? When he was regretting his recklessness, he only heard Gege say: "If Li Hao is really so bold and reckless, I will never spare him if it is clear!" ”

Lan Hong hurriedly knelt down to thank him, that is, if his brother Lan Jun knew in the spirit of the sky, he would be blind to death. Gege told him to get up. At this time, the little brother dressed in heavy filial piety ran in in a panic, and shouted when he entered the door: "Uncle, it's not good! ”

Lan Hong reprimanded: "Jinhua, why are there no rules at all? What to do in a panic? Hurry up and salute Qing Gege. Turning around, he said to Gege again: "This is my brother's son Lan Jinhua." ”

The little brother was only twelve or thirteen years old, and after listening to his uncle's reprimand, he knelt down and kowtowed to Gege. Gege also commanded to get up. Lan Jinhua got up and stood behind his uncle, but he didn't dare to say a word.

After a pause, Lan Hong asked, "Jinhua, what are you talking about?" ”

Lan Jinhua was about to step forward to make a statement, when someone broke in and said, "What's the mess?" Didn't you mean me? I said I wanted to come in, but he wouldn't let me in. In a fit of rage, I threw him in. ”

Does this sound so familiar at first glance? Dark incense said that it was not good, and when he looked at it, who else was not the haunting Luo Qingsong in front of him? Luo Qingsong first looked around when he entered the door, and when he saw Gege, he immediately smiled and said, "Sister, you made me find it so hard!" Why don't you tell me when you travel in Zhejiang? I went to Jinxiulan, and you said that you went to Zhejiang. Oops, it makes me anxious. My sister is leaving, what does it mean for me to stay in Jingshi? So, I hurriedly chased after it. My sister hasn't seen me for a few days, but do you miss me? ”

Seeing that there were no one in him, he just said with a straight face: "Brother Luo, don't talk nonsense!" If Qing came to Zhejiang to send an envoy to do it, why did Brother Luo come all the way to follow? ”

Luo Qingsong walked over arrogantly, sat down under Gege, and said, "Without my sister here, I don't want to be an errand." Isn't it great that I'll go wherever my sister goes? ”

Lan Hong didn't know who the handsome little brother in front of him was, and he probably knew Qing Gege, who must also be a famous family in Beijing, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "This distinguished guest is ~~~?" ”

Gege said: "This is the head of Luo Qingsongluo of the Jingshi. She thought that the position of general was mostly unknown, but it was not as famous as the head of the family. That's why I introduced Luo Qingsong like this.

Sure enough, Lan Hong asked again: "Dare to ask which sect and sect the head of Luo is?" ”

Luo Qingsong clenched his fists and said, "Zhou Tianpai!" ”

Lan Hong was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Such a little brother is actually the head of the Zhou Tian faction?" ”

Luo Qingsong said abruptly: "Exactly, my father's name is a family reputation, and my grandfather's name is Shichang, can there be a fake?" ”

Lan Hong bowed to the ground and said: "The Zhou Tian faction is famous in the rivers and lakes, and Lan Hong has long had the heart to join the sect. See the head of the house today, and hope to be fulfilled! ”

Luo Qingsong waved his hand and said lightly: "In my gang, most of them are powerful people. Your Lan family is just a squire in Jinhua, not a powerful person, how can I casually let you join the club? ”

Lan Hong only knelt on the ground and begged: "Everyone in the world knows that all the disciples of the Zhou Tian Sect walk the rivers and lakes, and they have a lot to take care of. In the past, Lan Hong also had my brother Lan Jun to help with everything. Now, the brother is gone, Lan Hong has to take care of such a family, what can he do in the future? Ask the boss to let Lan Hong join the club! ”

Luo Qingsong had to excuse himself again, and Gege said, "Don't put on a show!" It's just a gang, how can it be so hypocritical? ”

Listening to Gege's words, Luo Qingsong hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, my sister said that she would join the club, and the head of the house was approved." If you want to thank me, don't thank me, just thank my sister. ”

Lan Hong hurriedly kowtowed to Gege a few more times before getting up. Since the Lan family has joined the club, and the head of the club is here, Lan Hong has to entertain him, drink and eat, and not be lazy. If it weren't for the fact that there was a mourning hall at home, this wine would only need to be eaten well for a few days and nights.

After the banquet in the evening, Gege and the others stayed at the Lan family. Gege pondered, got up early tomorrow, and went to Hangzhou Mansion to see who Li Hao was. (To be continued......)
