"Lord Fu Yin, what's wrong?"

The officials couldn't help but look at each other, but they didn't understand why Lord Yin, who had always been diligent in government, was so perfunctory today.

Lei Tongju looked at Lin Haoran's mood was not high, and there was really nothing important, and he also said to the stunned crowd: "What are you still doing in a daze!" It's all gone! ”

Although the officials muttered in their hearts, if they dared to stay here, they dispersed one after another.

Mo Fei, who was wearing a six-rank official uniform, did not follow Lei Tuiguan and the others to leave, but stood in place and followed Lin Haoran's gaze, but the latter gave him a look.

"Lord Fu Yin!" Mo Fei stepped forward to give a salute, but Lin Haoran asked directly: "Brother Ji De, He Jiu almost died in prison just now, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Mo Fei's face immediately turned cold, and he angrily denounced loudly: "These people are simply lawless and lawless, and they dare to do something to destroy their mouths, this matter must be strictly investigated to the end!" ”

This voice was not small, so that Lei Tongju and several other officials who had just walked to the courtyard couldn't help but look back at this side, but they just glanced at it and left with interest.

Lin Haoran motioned for him to be quieter, and immediately said seriously: "This official also has this intention, you are responsible for this matter, and see if you can find out the person who instructed the assassination behind the scenes!" ”

Although this is extremely unlikely, it is undoubtedly a direction of investigation and a signal to the other party. He is not a person who swallows his anger, and he will bite people when he gets the opportunity.

In officialdom, you can make concessions and compromises, but you must not be an angry bag that you don't even dare to speak, otherwise the other party will only intensify and even think that you are weak and can be bullied.

"The subordinate officer receives the order!" Mo Fei's eyes looked murderous, and he hurried towards the cell.

Lin Haoran looked at Mo Fei who left in a hurry, and finally felt some comfort in his heart, at least there was a subordinate who could concentrate on his work, and not everyone wanted to dig out their minds to climb up or eat in the corpse position.

The time has come to May, which is the harvest season, and it is an important period for the government to collect grain taxes. At this time of the year, there are always a thousand things to deal with in the Shuncheon Mansion.

Although he was very irritated by what happened this morning, after returning to the signing room, Lin Haoran also slowly devoted himself to official business.

From Leizhou Mansion to Guangzhou Mansion and now Shuntian Mansion, although he can't change the pattern of serious differentiation between the rich and the poor under his rule, he will strive to protect more interests for ordinary people.

Lin Haoran is a person who lives a hard life, and knows that it is not easy for ordinary people to live. Although he was unable to promote a whip law, let alone implement the apportionment of the land into the mu, he was indeed willing to do some practical things for the people under his rule.

When he left the Leizhou Mansion, an old man tearfully said that he was a real good official, and the reason was that he had paid a bucket of rice, half a basket of silk and a load of vegetables less than in previous years, and he had served ten days of forced labor.

It was also at that time that he began to seriously reflect on what the people really wanted.

People are selfish, and people who live a poor life are no exception. Although they do not seek glory and wealth, they also want to fill their stomachs and fill their homes with children and grandchildren, so they naturally attach great importance to this tax.

Although they will not fight against the incumbent officials, nor do they dare to accuse the government of excessive taxes, they undoubtedly have a reputation in their hearts. They must be clear about which incumbent officials collect heavy taxes and which officials collect light taxes.

If Lin Haoran wants to get a good official reputation now, it is obviously not enough to just judge the case like a god, but also to reduce the tax burden for millions of people in Shuntian Mansion, even if it is to pay a bucket of rice less in grain tax.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Lin Haoran attaches great importance to the collection of summer tax. While restraining the greedy mouths below, we must also find ways to improve the efficiency of tax collection, so as to reduce the loss of tax revenue.

Fortunately, he has learned a lot of experience from Leizhou Mansion and Guangzhou Mansion, and he seems to be handy in doing this kind of thing, at least he is confident that he is better than the previous Shuntian Mansion Yin.

As time passed, the area of the courtyard outside was gradually exposed to the sun, and the shaded area outside the house became smaller and smaller.

"Brother, what are you looking for me to do?"

The tiger girl strode in outside in a well-fitting catcher suit, her big bright eyes were full of brilliance, and the whole person was faintly more lively like a girl.

Lin Haoran was combing through the transportation route of Liangzhuang's tax grain, and when he looked up, he saw that the wild girl who suddenly broke in was distracted for a while, but soon remembered that he asked him to find this wild girl, and immediately asked seriously: "You should know the news of He Jiu's assassination, right?" ”

"Yes! Such a big thing, when I entered the yamen, Lao Li told me! The tiger girl blinked her big beautiful eyes, looked at Lin Haoran seriously, and replied.

Lin Haoran didn't care who Lao Li was, after all, there were a large number of officials who wanted to tie up with this wild girl, and immediately continued: "He Jiu is an important witness who testifies to the culprit behind the destruction of the embankment and flooded the fields, so he can't die now, we need to protect him temporarily, and we have to hide him temporarily!" ”

"Brother, just leave it to me, I'm hiding things very well!" The tiger girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she patted her chest and took the initiative to ask for help.

Lin Haoran's forehead darkened, and he immediately corrected seriously: "This time it's not a hidden thing, it's a Tibetan!" ”

"One thing, just leave it to me!" The tiger girl's little hand waved, looking unconcerned and confident.

Lin Haoran is actually not very relieved about Hu Niu, after all, He Jiu's safety is very important, and it is the most important part of the whole plan, and there can be no mistakes.

But now, the enemy is in the light, and he is in the dark. Not to mention the servants of the Shuntian Mansion, even among the officials of the Shuntian Mansion, there are many people who have private dealings with Yan and Xu, but it is difficult to guarantee who is a "family thief".

There are not many people he can trust now, and Hu Niu is undoubtedly the most trusted person. Most importantly, other officials may be bribed, but this wild girl will not.

Lin Haoran looked at this confident wild girl, and finally chose to believe him.

The tiger girl seems to be trustworthy, and after receiving Lin Haoran's order, she also began to deploy in earnest. She first asked the United Merchants to send four carriages, and the four carriages then moved in a lot of directions.

There are many unfamiliar faces around the Shuntian Mansion, but they are paying attention to every move of the Shuntian Mansion. Especially when the four carriages were leaving, even if there were people trailing them.

It seems that it is not difficult to hide a person in Beijing, but there are many forces in the capital, and the eyes and ears are scattered all over the city. It is not necessarily easy to avoid these eyes and ears completely.

A game of peek-a-boo seems to be quietly staged in the capital.
