Ma Yifei, who was inside, looked at Li Yan with an arrogant face. It's as if he doesn't care at all, and the mistakes he made don't care at all for fear of this matter getting out.

When Li Yan saw Ma Yifei like this, he didn't say anything, but he could see it like this, because Li Yan wanted this kind of result.

Because as long as Ma Yifei is in this situation, the more arrogant he is, and then he will say it in front of Tang Liwen. Hehe, this horse is completely miserable for his old man, because this is completely a pit father's son.

And the reason why this Ma Yifei was so arrogant after seeing the matter was revealed was because this Pingyao County County Decree was his father, as long as he went in a while and told his father about this matter, Li Yan They didn't want to go to Pingyao County.

However, can his idea really come true?

..........

Li Yan pouted shamelessly when he heard that this Ma Yifei actually used such indiscriminate means. But he also thinks that what Ma Yifei said is very right, because with this method, people are fascinated or stunned, who will know what you do?

However, every thing, no matter how well you do it, is seamless and secretive, and there is a possibility that a hundred secrets will be exposed. Therefore, Li Yan believes that Ma Yifei has done so much, and there will definitely be things exposed. Therefore, as long as there is a betrayal, there must be a father who flies and uses his authority to solve the problem.

As soon as Li Yan thought of this, he looked at Ma Yifei and asked, "You have done so many things, there will definitely be victims who suspect that you did this matter, so I want to know, those people sued you and filed a case in the Yamen, how did these things be resolved?" ”

"Hehe, how did you solve it? You must know that my father is the top manager of Pingyao County, so there are various ways to deal with it, such as using money, and in this world, the best way is to use money to solve things, why use him? However, in addition to the ones that cannot be solved with money, Dai's uses the second method. ”

Na Yifei said this, smiled proudly, and continued: "So as long as you give enough benefits, even if you press his daughter on the bed once, no one will say anything, you know?" ”

"Oh? Solved with money? Li Yan heard what Ma Yifei said, why not use the things that can be solved with money. So when Li Yan heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he looked at Ma Yifei and asked with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, the imperial court's annual salary, a county order like Pingyao City, should only be two hundred taels of silver, right?" And for things like yours, if you use money to solve them, if they are less than five hundred taels, I don't think anyone will agree, and some will be even better, where do you come from with the money you use to solve things? ”

Since Li Yan went to Tang Liwen's house, he has lived in Tang Liwen's house for such a long time, and when he has nothing to do, he will read some books about the Tang Dynasty, including the Tang Law, the Tang Tax Law and the Tang Dynasty Official Position. So there is still a general understanding of these.

"Huh?" When Ma Yifei heard Li Yan's question, he immediately smiled, looked at Li Yan like an idiot, and said mockingly: "Don't you know that as long as you are an official in the court, you will have an industry in private, so my father is not excluded." ”

Li Yan was despised by this horse Yifei, but he didn't care about the ridicule, but just smiled. Say he doesn't know, jokes, how could he not know. You must know that Tang Liwen is a fourth-grade official, and a year's court salary is only nearly four hundred taels of silver.

And among the four hundred silver, there are personal guards around him, (although Chen Meng is not Tang Liwen's personal guard), but every month is still a little. And Tang Shishi's monthly expenses are also nearly thirty or forty taels of silver, which is more, and when it is less, there are twenty taels, and Li Yan is also at least ten taels of silver every month. And just like this time, he came out, but he was given a hundred taels of silver. And in addition to this, there are thirty or forty maids and servants in the house, and even if these people are given one tael of silver a month, it is three or four hundred taels a year.

But it is also possible to give only one tael of silver, and the income of an ordinary peasant family is at least ten taels of silver, and there is also a tax. Although after paying the tax, there are still nearly ten taels of silver. The remaining silver is barely enough for the expenses of a family of four. And those who give up their dignity and enter a big family to be subordinates, isn't it just to make a little money, if they are given two silver a month, they might as well go back to farming, and they don't have to suffer from this anger. Therefore, generally the least is two taels of silver, and the most is three or four taels of silver.

If you come according to the court's fortune, it is not enough to give it to your subordinates, so how will Tang Liwen's family live? Have you ever been lying down?

Therefore, since the imperial court is not enough, it is to run its own industry. If you don't want to do business yourself, then you can also invest money in those businesses. In this way, the problem of not having enough money can be solved.

And it has been like this since ancient times, but there are also those who only rely on the money of the imperial court to live. But this kind of people, who live a poor life, are just living and living.

..........

Li Yan heard Ma Yifei say that his family had an industry, and he immediately left the plan in his heart, but he didn't say it, but looked at Ma Yifei curiously and asked: "Then tell me, since your family has an industry, what is the annual income?" ”

"What's the income?" When Ma Yifei heard Li Yan's question, he said directly: "At least there is an income of nearly five or six thousand taels, and there may be more." ”

When Li Yan heard this, he nodded, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, I've asked everything I should ask, so now please put a handprint on this, and this matter will be over." ”

When Ma Yifei heard Li Yan's words, he immediately hesitated, but then pouted, although he was reluctant in his heart, what about a handprint? As long as you can't get out of Pingyao City, then this matter is harmless. So Ma Yifei readily agreed.

However, an embarrassing thing happened, Ma Yifei was about to say that he pressed his handprint, but found that there was no handprint, looked at Li Yan's stall and said: Look, God is on my side.

Seeing this, Li Yan frowned, looked at Chen Meng, and glanced at Chen Meng, but his hand also made a secret movement.

Now Chen Meng, who was beside Li Yan, saw Li Yan's eyes and secret gestures. Chen Meng comprehended a little bit, and came directly to Ma Yifei. grabbed Ma Yifei's right hand, took out a knife and slashed lightly on his thumb, and slowly bright red blood flowed out.

When Ma Yifei was looking at Li Yan with a helpless expression, his hand was suddenly grabbed, first he was startled, and then he saw that his hand was cut with a knife, and he immediately looked at Li Yan angrily and asked angrily, "What are you doing here?" Are you trying to kill me? ”

"Kill you?" Li Yan heard Ma Yifei's roaring and angry words, shook his head and said, "Are you saying that there is no handprint?" No, I've just thought of a way for you, just use blood, can't you press it now? When Li Yan said this, he looked at Ma Yifei with a smile on his face.

When Ma Yifei heard Li Yan's words, he was speechless, and when he saw Li Yan with a smile on his face, he immediately wanted to go up and give Li Yan a few blows, but he still didn't. Ma Yifei looked at his wound, pressed it directly, looked at Li Yan and said hatefully: "Now I'm satisfied." ”

When Li Yan heard Ma Yifei's tone, he just smiled, didn't say anything, but glanced at Chen Meng. Chen Meng saw Li Yan's eyes, nodded slightly, and raised his hand directly, taking advantage of Ma Yifei's lack of attention, hit Ma Yifei on the back of the head, only to see Ma Yifei suddenly feel that as soon as his eyes closed, the person collapsed on the ground and fainted directly.

This Chen Meng's move was too sudden, and this matter was also carried out under Li Yan's secret instructions, and no one else knew. This made the people around him not react.

"Ahh

After a long while, Tang Shishi was the first to react, and when she saw Ma Yifei lying motionless on the ground, she immediately screamed and was born, looking at Chen Meng's voice trembling and saying, "You killed him?" ”

"Nope." When Chen Meng heard Tang Shishi's words, he just spit out two words lightly.

"And he's lying motionless on the ground like that?" Tang Shi heard Chen Meng say no, so he continued to ask.

"I knocked me out." Chen Meng still replied without being salty.

Tang Shishi heard Chen Meng's answer and wanted to ask, but was stopped by Li Yan.

Li Yan glanced at Ma Yifei who was lying on the ground, and said lightly: "I asked Brother Chen to do this." So ask me something. Not enough to wait first. ”

When Li Yan said this, he looked at Yang Liao Xin, Wen Monkey and Tang Xiu and said, "Brother Liao Xin, Tang Xiu, Monkey, wait a minute, you and Brother Chen will tie up all these people, and some horses will fly the same." ”

When Yang Liaoxin and the others heard Li Yan's words, they nodded and began to act.

Li Yan saw that Yang Liaoxin and the others were starting to get busy, so he said lightly: "Before we leave Pingyao County, we can't let them leave, otherwise it will be difficult for us to get out of here safely." So for the sake of safety, we had to make this decision, knock them all out and watch them here, and then release them when we all started to leave. ”

"And these people are still useful to me, so I can't let them go." After saying this, an evil smile leaked out from the corner of his mouth, and this smile was as treacherous as it was.

Tang Shishi and Liu Yiyi, who were on the side, heard what Li Yan said, and probably knew why Li Yan did this, but when they saw the evil smile on the corner of Li Yan's mouth, they always felt as if nothing was wrong, but they didn't know what was going on.

When Li Yan explained the reason, the warrior who followed Ma Yifei had already been tied up by Chen Meng and others, and Chen Meng was even more direct and knocked them all unconscious.

Li Yan nodded when he saw Chen Meng's approach, agreeing with this approach, but he also admired Chen Meng for being a guard in front of Emperor Tang. This technique is really skillful, and it can't be skillful anymore.

Seeing that everything was processed, Li Yan looked at Liu Yiyi and said, "Write another copy of this material, and all of them will be printed with his handprints, and they will all be in one place, do you know?" ”

Liu Yiyi didn't understand why she had to write another one, but she still wrote another one.

After Li Yan saw that there was nothing to do, he walked up to Wen Jing and said comfortingly: "The matter has been dealt with." I know you're a little scared right now, but don't be afraid, we're here, and everything is fine. Wait a minute, there are so many friends here, I'll talk to them later. ”

Wen Jing heard Li Yan's playful comfort, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she looked at Li Yan and nodded obediently. I was overjoyed in my heart.

After Li Yan saw Wen Jing nodding, he didn't say anything more, looked at everyone and said, "Okay, since the matter is settled, let's go to my house." ”

With that, Li Yan walked towards the door. When the people saw this, they followed suit. And Ma Yifei and the warrior, they were all tied to a tree, so they had no way to escape.

..........

The people outside the door, after seeing Li Yan and the others and going, did not see the movement, and wanted to take a look, but none of them went up to see it. And a quarter of an hour after Li Yan and the others entered, a few people came out of the door, tied up the few warriors who were held down by the people in these people's villages, and pulled them in. When the people saw this, they knew that the matter was over.

And Wang Yan in the crowd has always been the most worried one, because Wen Jing is his good sister, and Li Yan is her little hair. So I have always put my heart in my throat, and when I saw the person who came with Li Yan and came out to tie up someone, I gradually relaxed my heart.

When Wang Yan saw this, she walked directly to the gate, but when she just arrived, she saw Li Yan and others coming out. hurriedly asked, "Brother Yan, how is Jing'er?" ”

Li Yan, who went out, saw Wang Yan, smiled at her slightly, and when he heard Wang Yan's words of concern, he smiled and said, "There is nothing to do anymore." Okay, let's not talk about that, let's go to my house. Li Yan patted Wang Yan on the shoulder and walked in the direction of his home.

Wang Yan heard Li Yan's words, nodded, and did not follow. Instead, he looked at Wen Jing who came out after Li Yan, so he stepped forward and pulled Wen Jing, and said apologetically: "Jing'er, I'm sorry, I didn't help much." ”

Wen Jing heard Wang Yan's apology, shook her head slightly and said: "I can't blame you, you and I are weak women, and you can't deal with those people, even my younger brother was beaten by those people, let alone wait." So you don't have to feel guilty about this matter. ”

When Wang Yan heard Wen Jing's words, a few tears flowed slightly from the corners of her eyes, and she nodded happily.

Seeing this, Wen Jing smiled and took Wang Yan's hand and walked in the direction of Li Yan.

In Wenjing's home, the location where Li Yan lived was not very far, so the group didn't walk for a while before arriving at Li Yan's house.

When Li Yan arrived at the door of the house and saw that the door was closed, he knew that Zhang Xin was not at home, otherwise Zhang Xin might not be there for something like that just now? You must know that Zhang Xin is the most knowledgeable person in this village, so as long as something happens in the village, someone will come to call him, and if he didn't find it in the crowd just now, he should have gone out, and now he should be on the way back.

Sure enough, when Li Yan was thinking like this, he saw an old man about sixty years old walking not far away, the old man was carrying a hoe and hurriedly walked towards Li Yan and the others, this person was Li Yan's grandfather, Zhang Xin.

When Li Yan saw the old man coming not far away, he shouted, "Grandpa." ”

Zhang Xin heard Li Yan's shout, nodded nothing, but came to Li Yan and the others, looked at Li Yan up and down a lot, and after a while, he quickly nodded and said: "Well, yes, long and strong, not as thin as when I left, looking at the food is good, well, good." ”

When Li Yan heard Zhang Xin's words, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "What's the matter, it's grandpa, I'm not here for two months, I'm afraid it's very hard." Li Yan said here, very concerned.

"Hehe, it's not hard." Zhang Xin heard Li Yan's words of concern and smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about this, these things?" Zhang Xin said here, looked at Yang Liaoxin and the others and asked.

"Oh, these people are my friends, and they heard that I was coming back, so come in and have a look." Li Yan knew what Zhang Xin asked, so he smiled and pointed at Yang Liaoxin and the others.

"Then since they are all friends, why do you still let your friends stand here, why don't you hurry up and invite your friends to come in and sit." Zhang Xin heard what he said, and immediately said with a smile and scolding.

Li Yan didn't say anything when he heard Zhang Xin's disapproving tone, looked at Yang Liaoxin and the others with a smile and said, "Let's all go in." After speaking, Li Yan took the lead in entering inside.

When Zhang Xin came to Yang Liaoxin and others, Yang Liaoxin, Liu Yiyi and others were all looking at Zhang Xin curiously, as if they could see flowers on his body. But they watched it for a long time, and no matter how they looked at it, they felt that Zhang Xin was a very ordinary person, but what they couldn't understand was why such an ordinary person would teach someone who wanted Li Yan to be excellent.

And just when they looked at them and looked at Zhang Xin and couldn't figure it out, when they heard Li Yan's words, they nodded and entered the small courtyard one by one.

After entering the small courtyard, Li Yan asked, "Where did Grandpa go today?" Such a big event happened in Wen Jing's house today, and you weren't even there. ”

"Where else can I go, in the fields, of course, or what will you do for me?" Zhang Xin heard Li Yan ask. Li Yan glanced at him angrily and said: "When I received a notice from someone, I came back, and then halfway there, someone said, you came back, and you still took people with you, so I left slowly." ”

Speaking of this, his voice changed, and he looked at Wen Jing and said, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen." I thought that no one would come to a place like ours, but I didn't expect anyone to come. ”

"By the way, who are those people?" looked at Li Yan and asked.

"It's the son of the county magistrate of Pingyao County, called Ma Yifei." Li Yan heard Zhang Xin's question and said lightly.

"Ma Yifei, the son of the county magistrate of Pingyao County?" When Zhang Xin heard Li Yan's words, he was shocked at first, and then said with a disgusted face: "I know this person, in Pingyao County, he is lustful, and sometimes he fights with other people for the sake of a Qinglou woman, and I also heard that he is only twenty-four or five now, but in his family, there are seven or eight women. ”

"I didn't expect it to be him, you might be in trouble now." Zhang Xin said this, looked at Li Yan and Tang Shishi and others, and said with a worried face.
