"You said forget it?" Chen didn't have a good face on his face, and he was angry with this Hushu who said that his son was gone, and he was rude, and he dared to curse that his son was gone.

"Heh, what do you want to do with this village woman?" Hushu sneered and took out the shelf that he usually used in the county office.

Old man Zhu's forehead is sweating, why is this second family so ignorant, just now it was hard to let people ignore the book, and now what kind of temper are you playing, this is not your own family, it annoys the old man of the house, it is still us who suffers, why don't you understand this point.

"You can also call the village woman?" Chen glared at the book vigorously.

"There is still something I can't call in this Huaining County" The household scholar glanced at Chen contemptuously, sneered, and put on a strong posture.

"Lord Feng, Lord Feng is angry." Uncle Zhu Shouren stepped forward over the crowd, bowed to Hushu, arched to the end, exchanged glances with Hushu, and then turned around and straightened up and preached to Chen with a serious face, "Brother and sister, this is Lord Feng, the warden of our Huaining County Yahufang, who is in charge of our Huaining County's fish scale atlas and money and grain inventory, and is in charge of the collection of money and grain in the county. Lord Feng came to us to go down to the river to measure the land, but he was ordered to go on a business trip, and my younger brothers and sisters should pay attention. If we obstruct the business trip, we can't afford to be guilty. ”

"Hmph." Feng Hushu snorted hard as soon as Uncle Zhu Shouren's words fell, flicked his sleeves and faced the sky, leaving everyone with a high chin.

"I, you can't scream!" Feng Hushu's attitude made Chen even more annoyed.

"You" Feng Hushu's face was cloudy. As if it was a tiger provoked by a rabbit, it seemed that it was about to show its fangs impatiently.

"Lord Feng is angry." Uncle Zhu Shouren stepped forward again and bowed to Feng Hushu, "Brother and sister, the countryman is not sensible. Don't blame adults. ”

"Oh, it's Zhu Gongzi, why don't you study at home to prepare for the exam, I heard that Lord Liu has high hopes for Zhu Gongzi, Zhu Gongzi don't live up to Lord Liu's trust." Feng Hushu seemed to have just seen Uncle Zhu Shouren, dropped his chin high above, and looked at Uncle Zhu Shouren differently.

"Borrow the auspicious words of the adults." Uncle Zhu Shouren gave up again. The fingers made a small movement, and a glance was made without a trace.

"Hmm." Feng Hushu nodded tacitly.

The two have a full sense of tacit understanding, and everything is in self-talk. It's as if it had been discussed in advance.

"Forget it, for the sake of Zhu Gongzi, forget it this time, don't worry about you, the village woman, and don't take it as an example." Feng Hushu cleared his throat. Glanced at Chen. A look of grace.

"Thank you, Lord Feng." Uncle Zhu Shouren thanked him again and again, then turned his gaze to Father Zhu and Chen, and reminded him with a gesture, "Second brother, brother and sister, don't hurry up and thank Master Feng." ”

Feng Hushu put on a stand at the right time, waiting for Father Zhu and the Chen family to apologize, and felt that the dismount was almost over. At this point, it's time to cut to the chase.

"Lord Feng?" Chen sneered, and then asked. "How many officials is Lord Feng?"

belch

A few pins

Chen's question, so that Feng Hushu, who was putting out the shelf, couldn't help coughing, his face was a little red with an official tone, although he said that he also had some real power in the county government, but he was a warden and had no establishment in the imperial court, so how could he have any grade, and he would not enter the stream.

"Is there a county magistrate?" Chen asked again.

Feng Hushu's face turned even redder, the county magistrate is a seven-rank official, and he is qualified to be compared with the county magistrate.

"I'm a native of Liupin'an who was personally enshrined by the emperor, and you know that the county adults have to salute and say hello when they see me, but you are a village woman." Chen sneered.

Feng Hushu's expression on his face flickered after hearing this, in fact, he had always known that the Chen family was a Liupin'an person, and he also knew that the county magistrate sent someone to thank him, but he deliberately ignored the identity of the Chen family just now, and did it intentionally, because his purpose just now was to give the Chen family and Zhu's father a dismissal, so he deliberately ignored the identity of the Chen family's Liupin'an people.

Thinking about it, what kind of knowledge can a village woman in the Chen family have, she will first get off the horse and put on a show, which is estimated to frighten this village woman, and she herself can't remember her title of Liupin'an.

First of all, come down and suppress them, and then measure the land and talk about the money, grain, and taxes, and bluff them.

As for whether Zhu Shouren's plan can succeed or not, it doesn't matter to him, but the twenty taels of silver promised before are indispensable.

However, I never expected that there were some discrepancies with what Zhu Shouren said, but this Chen family was not an ordinary village woman.

Now listening to Chen's mention of his identity as a Liupin'an person, Feng Hushu's expression on his face changed a few times, and then a stiff smile appeared on his face, and he arched his hand towards Chen without smiling, and saluted without being salty, "Oh, it turned out to be Mrs. Zhu, and I said which village woman it was." Xia Guan has seen Mrs. Zhu. ”

Although Feng Hushu said that it was a salute, it did not mean much respect. What can the people of Liupin'an do, they just have a name for etiquette, and they have no real power, so they have a false name. If Zhu Ping'an is alive, then it is a different matter. But now, Zhu Ping'an is gone, you don't have any backers, and there is no other official in the family, even if there is no one with a face in the county, what do you have to worry about, so you dare to deal with this matter.

"Hmph." Chen snorted coldly.

"Don't blame Mrs. Zhu, this is a measure of land, and the lower officials are also on an errand. In the past, Mrs. Zhu's family naturally had no worries about paying taxes, but now, the lower officials have measured the land, and Mrs. Zhu's family will pay taxes in the future. Feng Hu said with a smile.

"You must know that our dynasty attaches great importance to the payment of taxes, and the so-called 'those who dare not occupy themselves and do not take possession of themselves will be confiscated into the institute, and they will be one year old as a county official', and those who fail to pay within the time limit or underpay will be severely punished, not only will the fields be confiscated, but they will also be punished with hard labor." Feng Hushu continued, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.

"It is only natural to pay grain and taxes. Now that Lord Zhu is gone, unless, your family has another talent or promotion, and you have tax-free qualifications," Feng Hu sneered in writing.

Old Man Zhu listened to Feng Hushu's words, and couldn't help but turn his gaze to Father Zhu, and he thought of the proposal of his eldest son Zhu Shouren that day.

"Who said that my son is gone, my son will definitely come back." Chen was so angry that he wanted to go up and scratch him, but was stopped by Zhu's father from behind.

"Mrs. Zhu, let's mourn and change. The lower officials are busy first, and the measurements are done, and when it is time to pay the taxes, I will send someone to inform Mrs. Zhu. Okay, go ahead and measure. Feng Hushu said impatiently, then raised his hand and waved his hand and instructed the official to continue measuring.

"Pay taxes?"

"What, is my family going to pay taxes too?"

At this moment, a young man's voice sounded in Feng Hushu's ears.

"Of course, paying grain and taxes is a matter of course" Feng Hushu replied impatiently, his eyes inadvertently swept to the speaker, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he couldn't say the words anymore, and the shouting in his throat was like being choked by someone's neck, and his body trembled.
