Yangzhou County, inside the Yamen.

Truman looked up at the bright moon in the sky with a gloomy expression.

"Although I couldn't extort some silver taels from Mrs. Luo, but with the precedent of the former, presumably Chen, Zhao, and Qian are almost out of breath."

"However, I still have to push them, after all, I can't miss my big thing."

Truman immediately summoned Li Fansheng and Li Zhutou.

He said: "Li Zhutou, how many goods have been detained in the past few days?" ”

Li Fansheng replied: "Lord Qiyu, at the various intersections and wharves leading to Yangzhou County, we have detained a total of more than 30 trucks of problematic goods, including seven cars from the Luo family, ten cars from the Chen family, twelve cars from the Zhao family, and five cars from the Qian family. ”

"What's the big problem with their cargo?"

"Yes, the Luo family has detained all the tea and medicinal materials, and although there is no problem with their goods, there is a problem with the source."

Truman asked, "What's the problem?" ”

"The Luo family's goods are shipped from neighboring countries."

"Shu Kingdom in the west?"

"That's right, the Luo family's goods are from a big family in Shu, this family has been in the rice and medicinal materials business for decades, but they have a criminal record, and they have assisted the Shu court during the Shu Jin War fifty years ago."

"That's a problem." Truman fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said, "But you don't have to dig deeper. ”

"Why?" Li Fansheng asked puzzled.

Chumen smiled and said: "The Luo family is indeed a big family for our Yangzhou County, but it is nothing in the entire Jin Kingdom, and we can find out about the trade with a family as big as Shu State, and the above characters can naturally also be found, if it is treason and collaboration with the enemy, I am afraid that those guys above will have already organized an army to come to Yangzhou County to arrest people." Besides, we have changed several generations of heads in Shu and Jin, so I guess there are no other factors, just simple commercial trade, and we don't have any explicit regulations that prohibit businessmen from trading with them, after all, they are all making money. However, to be on the safe side, you should find someone to check and see if the goods were smuggled in. ”

"Two days ago, I flew a book to those people at the border, and there was no news."

"Also, if the smugglers dare to blatantly take the big road, since there is no problem, send them back."

"Yes!"

Speaking of this, Truman couldn't help but smile, he was still thinking about how a woman from the Luo family could share a piece of Yangzhou County with the other three rich wolves, but now he finally has an answer.

At present, it seems that Mrs. Luo has not eaten much of such a big cake in Yangzhou County.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be the first to come to the door.

And Mrs. Luo must have been prepared at that time.

Because she didn't know how big the appetite of this new county magistrate was, whether she loved money or sex, so Mrs. Luo's conversation with Truman was just a temptation for her to use herself as bait.

If this temptation fails, she will definitely come up with enough silver taels to satisfy the appetite of the newly appointed county magistrate.

Once she can't be satisfied, what awaits her is that the county magistrate and the other three families will eat her alive.

In the ruthless mall, anything is possible.

Not to mention that she still does a family trade with a neighbor with a criminal record, which is a business that walks on the tip of a knife.

Once investigated, she will never recover.

But what she didn't expect was that this county magistrate not only didn't let her pay for her beauty, but also saved money.

At this time, Truman thought of this and was annoyed.

However, as a person who has crossed over from modern society, he inexplicably feels sorry for Mrs. Luo.

In this ancient society where men were respected, it was indeed not so easy for a woman to live without anyone's help.

......

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"

"Ahh Truman came back to his senses and said, "You go on." ”

"Yes." Li Fansheng paused, and then said: "There is no big problem with the goods of Chen Zhaoqian, the source is clear, the goods are regular, and the only problem is some tax reasons. ”

"Tax evasion?"

"No, most of the taxes on goods are still paid, but a small part of them have been avoided."

"Reasonable tax avoidance!" Truman smiled faintly and said, "Forget about this small part." ”

"And their goods?"

"Let's hold on for now. By the way, Li Zhutou, do you know what hidden paths are there in and out of Yangzhou County in addition to those avenues? Like from cliffs, woods? ”

"Yes." Li Fansheng affirmed.

"Check it, and at the same time, the goods on those avenues are checked more strictly, and it is better to deduct the wrong ones than let them go."

"Yes." Li Fansheng responded, and abruptly stood up again: "That, ...... adults"

"What else?" Truman asked.

Li Fansheng arched his hand and said: "The adults are new to Yangzhou County, and they are not familiar with the place, so it will be more troublesome if they go out or something, so ......"

Li Fansheng raised his head and saw that Truman's expression had not changed, before continuing: "I have a subordinate, also surnamed Li, who is trustworthy ......"

Li Fansheng is right, he really needs a subordinate who can always be by his side and can be trusted, preferably able to wash clothes and cook or something, and he has a dignified county order, if he has to wash his own clothes, then where will his face go.

So he immediately asked, "Does he know how to do laundry?" ”

Li Fansheng froze.

"This, her martial arts are not bad.... Most of the prisoners in the prison were captured by her..."

can't do laundry, and he has to do a lot, but Truman is not good at brushing off Li Fansheng's kindness.

Immediately said: "Okay, you can arrange it." ”

After saying that, he waved his hand and motioned for him to leave.

Li Fansheng was overjoyed at the moment.

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

......

After Li Fansheng left, Truman looked at the bright moon in the sky and couldn't help laughing at himself.

In his previous life, he hated bribery or something, but now that he is an official, he has done these things.

But who told him that he had no money?

As someone who has traveled back in time from the modern era, he has so much in his head that he can make a fortune.

He can be a copyist, copy "Breaking the Sky", "Zhu Xian" or something.

He can also make glass, make soap, and so on.

But to achieve this, it is impossible to do without principal.

So he needs money.

Moreover, he needs to deal with these families and make them think that he is an insatiable person.

Then they will be more unscrupulous.

It will be easier for him to discover the hidden evils.

Besides.

Anyway, I will copy their house in the future, and I will take it early and late.

Truman believes that for these families, they would rather take it out sooner rather than later to satisfy his appetite.

However, these four families have long been deeply rooted in Yangzhou County, and it is not so easy to dig out their hidden secrets.

You can't be in a hurry, you can only come step by step.

So the main problem at the moment is the three bandits in the north.

In the past few days, Trumen has also sent more people to the north to investigate, but they still found nothing.

First, the north of Yangzhou County is steep in mountains and lush trees, and experienced hunters may get lost if they are not careful.

Second, the three major gangsters are not incompetent, they have arranged a lot of mechanisms in the jungle, which causes the people sent by Truman to come back with all the colors on their bodies.

Later, Trumen stopped sending people, because the little money from the yamen was almost unable to pay for their medical bills.
