After the man in black took the naked woman away, Rihito smiled and said to Governor Xiong, "Okay, Lord Xiong, you can put on your clothes." ”

Governor Xiong came to the bed and looked at his clothes, only to see that there was already blood on them, and there was a dead man lying on them, he hurriedly ordered the guards to arrive: "Quickly get me a few clothes, be quick~!" "Speaking of which, Governor Xiong really can't stand the strong smell of blood in the house and the tragic situation of the dead in front of him. He quickly ran to the corner, "Wow~~!" With a bang, I even threw up breakfast.

For Governor Bear had been full of wine and food in the afternoon, and now the intense vomiting filled the room with a stench of wine. Rihito immediately covered his nose and walked outside the house, coming to a guest room next door. Waiting for the maid to come up with fragrant tea, Xiong Zhizhou walked into this room with a white face.

When Governor Xiong walked into the room, he saw that this room seemed to be an upper room that had been prepared for the Lord Guogong a long time ago, and it was equipped with everything for daily use, and he also deliberately placed pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and fine rice paper in the sunny window of the room. Not only that, but now there are several beautiful maids quietly standing beside Lord Guogong, and their standing posture looks like they have been professionally trained.

After Governor Xiong swept everything in the house, he was embarrassed to give Rihito a salute. But now he was only wearing a short coat around his body, and he didn't dare to make a big movement at all, and just when he was in a dilemma, Liren spoke: "Okay, Lord Xiong, come and sit down, and the salute will be waived." Hearing Li Ren say this, Governor Xiong immediately walked to the side of the Eight Immortals table with a smile and sat down.

At this time, Li Ren instructed the maid to serve fragrant tea to Governor Xiong, and then took a sip of fragrant tea in the cup and said, "Lord Xiong, are you very strange, why did I come to Taiwan. ”

Xiong Zhizhou immediately nodded mulengly, and Liren put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Originally, I thought that you, Lord Xiong, could handle Taiwan's affairs, so I didn't want to come." But when I got a message that prompted me to come. Speaking of this, Liren took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Governor Xiong and said, "Let's see, it will be useful to you in the future." ”

Governor Xiong suspiciously took out a thick stack of paper in the letter, only to see that the text was densely written on it, and he immediately spread out the letter paper and looked at it carefully. Looking at Governor Xiong's face, which had just recovered from a flush, immediately turned iron blue. He opened his mouth wide and asked with a look of disbelief: "Lord Guogong, is what is written in this letter true?" ”

Li Ren squinted as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard Governor Xiong's inquiry, he nodded and said directly without opening his eyes: "What is written in my heart was exchanged for our secret guard with his life." At first, no one else, including me, was convinced, but when we saw the reality, no one doubted it anymore. ”

"Have you already caught them?" Governor Xiong's face finally turned a little blood again.

"It's just a corpse, but he was unsuccessful in assassinating me, and I stabbed him to death after he transformed, so he has always maintained the appearance of the transformer." Liren immediately told Governor Xiong truthfully.

Governor Xiong looked at Riren, how did he feel that the weak Lord Guogong did not look like an opponent of the things written in his heart. But when he tried to put it in front of him, he had to believe it. At this time, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked, "Could it be that the woman who is with me today is also the same person as them?" ”

"Oh! They're just each other's pawns, they're still real people, but they're just blackmailing their parents. Li Ren said lightly, and suddenly he changed his tone and said, "However, the purpose of their coming here is to take the opportunity to kill you, Governor Xiong, so that the dragons of Taiwan will be leaderless, so as to achieve the purpose of giving them some time." ”

Governor Xiong immediately said to Liren with a look of surviving death: "Today, Xiong is really grateful to Lord Guogong for coming to save his life, and if Xiong betrays Lord Guogong in the future, he will definitely not die well." ”

"No need to do this, Lord Xiong, you have long been one of my most admired officials. Sending you to be the governor of Taiwan this time is something I have specifically considered. Hehe. Richin didn't hesitate to say what was in his heart, but whether it was true or not was only known to the ghost, but these words obviously had a very big effect on the Governor Bear in front of him.

I saw that Governor Xiong was so moved that he almost shed tears, but he must be a middle-aged man, and he resisted the urge to cry with red eyes. After taking a deep breath, Governor Xiong asked, "My lord, you said that these people have already lurked into Taiwan, but how can they come in so easily?" ”

"It's all my fault, I was bent on turning Taiwan into our food base quickly. But I didn't expect that those guys who betrayed their ancestors lurked around them. But fortunately, I still have a backhand, hehe, I want to see how these monsters who betrayed their ancestors take Taiwan from me. Richin spoke confidently about his plan, but he didn't reveal the importance to Governor Xiong.

Governor Xiong then asked, "My lord, did you come this time to ask me to change my plans?" ”

"It's business as usual. But it's up to me to keep you safe for now. Liren took a sip of tea and said: "I will lurk by your side now, and when the time comes, you will say to the outside world, I am your distant cousin, and now I come to seek refuge in you, and you let me be the master." ”

"This? How can this be. Governor Xiong immediately sensed that this was inappropriate and wanted to stop Liren's actions.

At this time, Liren waved his hand and said disapprenorantly: "You don't have to think about it, just do what I said." ”

Seeing that Liren was so resolute, Governor Xiong no longer insisted, and nodded in default.

On the second day, there was a young man dressed in white with a knife at his waist, and everyone also found that Governor Xiong seemed to take great care of this young man, and as long as there was anything good, he would definitely call this young man by his side. But when it came time to deal with heavy tasks, the young man disappeared. In this way, people who were interested began to inquire, and finally learned from the mouth of Governor Xiong that this young man was a distant cousin of the Governor, and now he came to seek refuge in him to seek a position and a half-job. This time everyone was not surprised.

After more than ten days, after receiving a lot of bribes, the Governor finally dealt with the backlog of various things in the Governor's Palace. After finally being free, the governor sent an invitation letter to every important task in Taiwan, saying that he would hold a banquet in Piaoxiang Building tonight, and he would like to thank these colleagues and businessmen.

All the merchants, as long as they were slightly larger, received invitations from the Governor, and only those who were at the end of the small officials and small merchants were not invited by the Governor.

The dinner party finally began, the Governor frequently raised his glass and drank with these people in the song and dance, many people were already drunk for a long time, then the Governor clapped his hands and asked the dancers to step back and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, bosses, I am very grateful for your love for Xiong Someone when I came to Taiwan, hehe, all kinds of gold and silver jewelry and jewelry deeds you have sent, which is very touching to Xiong Someone, so today I Xiong Someone wants to meet everyone." Speaking of which, Lord Xiong raised his glass and drank with everyone.

After putting down the wine glass, he immediately frowned and said, "But everyone doesn't know this time, our Lord Guogong has always had problems with Taiwan's taxes, and wants to further increase Taiwan's taxes." One of the purposes of this brother's visit to Taiwan is to find a way to raise Taiwan's taxes in the future. However, this increase is only for merchants and big families, not for ordinary people. ”

As soon as Governor Xiong finished speaking, the pot suddenly exploded, and everyone turned their heads to each other. After a while, a tall and thin businessman who was nearly forty years old stood up and asked Governor Xiong, "May I ask your Excellency the Governor, why does the Lord Guogong want to raise Taiwan's taxes?" He's not going to let us businessmen live. ”

"Your question is not something I can answer now, but in view of the prestige of the Lord Guogong in person, hehe, then I can only be wronged by you to stay in prison for a while." Governor Xiong immediately turned his face, and without even giving the man a chance to explain, he waved his hand and instructed the guards to escort him down.

Faced with this more authoritative merchant being taken into custody and leaving, the officials and merchants immediately shut up and stared at what Governor Xiong was going to do.

At this time, Governor Xiong said to everyone with a smile as if he hadn't done what he had done before, "Hehe. If you have any other questions, you can ask me, and I will explain it to you. ”

The merchant just now is an example, and now the Governor asks everyone again, but who else dares to ask again, but he looked at Lord Xiong with a cold smile and hurriedly said, "Hehe, the adults and the young people have nothing to ask, please issue an order." ”

Governor Xiong immediately smiled and nodded, and said to these people, "Hmm. Well, in the future, the sailors of large merchants will change from the original ten out of ten to three, and the grain collection of large grain growers will also be handled, but the taxes and grain collection of small households will still be according to the original. Seeing that there was no one silent, Lord Xiong said again: "At present, this official is in Taiwan Ganglai and sees that the Governor's Mansion is about to collapse, please lend a hand and help this official repair and repair?" ”

A wine banquet is a huge loss for all the merchants, and they all hate to eat Governor Xiong's meat now, but they must be the governor of Taiwan now, and no one dares to show their thoughts on the table.
