Chapter 168: Duan Chongjian

The next day, the Deep State. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When Duan Chongjian came to the Yamen of the Assassin History, the little official on duty at night was still immersed in his sleep.

Because the little official knew that there were still seven or eight days before the end of the month to clear the household, so Duan Thorn Shi should not come to the yamen, so he ate some wine with a few guards last night, the wine was made of fine grapes, and the entrance was slightly sweet.

As the name suggests, it is the "private tax" submitted by the counties, the so-called private tax, naturally not the tax paid to the imperial court, but the tax paid to the history of the assassin, in addition to the two taxes stipulated by the imperial court, there are also various tax items stipulated by the history of the assassination, there are many types, so that the officials still can't remember the names of these tax items.

And those who have no money to pay taxes will have to send a strong man to come to deduct the tax, Duan Thorn Shi and the officials above the fifth grade in Shenzhou have a lot of private land, and these strong men don't have to worry about having nothing to do.

Of course, there are also some people who have no money and are unwilling to send strong men to tax deductions, and Duan Tingshi's countermeasures are also very simple, many cells in the state prison are empty, and the jailers are also very idle, but everyone knows that once they enter the state prison, there is basically no possibility of coming out.

The little official slept soundly, and he didn't notice Duan Chongjian's eyes that almost wanted to kill, originally Duan Chongjian would not come to the yamen at this time, but yesterday he suddenly felt extremely irritable in his heart, so he stayed awake all night in a distraught, so he came to the yamen early this morning with red eyes.

Smack-

In the haze, a hot pain suddenly came from the little official's face, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Duan Chongjian staring at him with a dark face.

"Duan Thorn History!" The little official exclaimed in surprise, and at the same time fell to his knees with a thud, begging for mercy again and again.

Duan Chongjian glanced at the little official, then put away the anger in his eyes, and said slowly: "Twenty rods, a fine of half a year, and I will get it myself after I finish an errand!" ”

Hearing this, the little official nodded hurriedly and said yes, he knew that no one could change Duan Chongjian's decision, and the wisest thing for him to do was to shut up, otherwise it would not be as simple as twenty rods and half a year.

"What's unusual lately?" Duan Chongjian asked, and at the same time walked to the bookcase and carefully looked at the household clearance list that had been handed in early.

"There is nothing abnormal in the history of the back-stab, and these rosters have also been investigated one by one and confirmed to be correct!" The little official hurriedly answered truthfully.

"Hmm!" Duan Chongjian nodded, but then seemed to have discovered something, pointed to a roster in his hand and asked, "There are six households in Anping County that have not been handed over, have they all been escorted?" ”

"Not yet, but I guess I'll be there today!"

"The courage of these Diao people is not small, it seems that they still don't know the means of this official, inform the state prison, these six households are good to entertain, it doesn't matter whether they live or die, the important thing is to be able to kill a hundred people!" Duan Chongjian said lightly, the bloated body under the scarlet robe and the oily face looked like a good match.

"Whoa!" The little official nodded in response.

"In addition, this year's filial piety to the king's envoy is ready?" Duan Chongjian asked again.

"Ready!" As he spoke, the little official took out a piece of snow-white rattan paper from the corner of the bookcase, and handed it to Duan Chongjian with both hands, "Please take a look!" ”

Duan Chongjian looked at it and couldn't help frowning, but it made the little official's heart tense.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Duan Chongjian pick up the bamboo pen on the side, sketch and draw on the rattan paper, and then said to the little official: "The Ruilong's dipterocarp incense in Jiaozhi has increased by ten, the black salt of Tianzhu has increased by thirty catties, and the rice paper in Jingxian County has increased by one hundred. ”

The little official nodded yes, but he understood very well in his heart, these consumed things were gone, but those gold and silver agate were genuinely placed there, but the little official couldn't believe that this Chongjian's crooked brain dared to hit Wang Yuankui, the envoy of Chengde Festival, and he was really a master who wanted money and didn't want to die.

"Well, after the counties submit the roster, you will send a copy to the official mansion, those who do not contribute money or effort, they should be caught, and no one should be tolerated, in addition, all these rosters will be destroyed after the inquest, and no trace shall be left! If you do it well, the official will be rewarded, if you can't do it well, the official will reward you with a few mouthfuls of longevity! ”

When the little official heard the sound, his face was suddenly frightened, and he knelt on the ground again and didn't dare to say anything.

At this moment, I saw an attendant come to report: "Qi Qi Assassin History, Anping County Commander came to ask for a meeting!" ”

"What is he here for?! Let him in! Duan Chongjian said and sat on the top of the house, and said to the little official: "What are you doing in a daze?" I can't get out of here and be punished! ”

The little official hurriedly retreated, and after leaning down, he saw a man in a green official uniform, about thirty years old, walking quickly.

This person is Liu Guan, the commander of Anping County.

"Xia Guan has seen a history of assassination!" Liu Guan bowed.

Duan Chongjian glanced at the man in the hall and asked casually, "What?" The six households still asked you to bring them in person? ”

Liu Guanjin is four years old Chinese New Year's Eve, born with a short figure, thick eyebrows and narrow eyes, in short, it is the kind of appearance that makes people not in a good mood when they see it, but although his appearance is ugly, he is good at speculating on the thoughts of Shangguan, and the annual private tax and household clearance are also the most prominent, and his words and deeds are quite trusted by Duan Chongjian.

"Hehe, you can see what you say, don't say that the lower official personally detains those few Diao people, that is, let the lower official work as a coolie in your field for a few years, which is also the blessing of the lower official!" Liu Guan said with a smile.

Duan Chongjian smiled slightly after hearing this, and said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

When Liu Guan heard this, he immediately showed a hesitation, frowned and thought for a while before he said: "I don't know if you have heard that the imperial court has recently appointed a new Youzhou assassin, who is the former Jiangling Mansion Yin, Li Chengye?!" ”

"Well, I've naturally heard about this, but the court sent Lu Long's official, what's your business?" Duan Chongjian's face was displeased.

"Those six Diao people were released by Li Chengye who passed through Shenzhou!"

As soon as these words came out, I saw Duan Chongjian suddenly get up and say, "He dares!" ”

Liu Guan then said: "Originally, the lower officials didn't believe it, thinking that those killers didn't catch the criminals, so they made up such an excuse, but in the end, when Li Chengye appeared in the county post house, he ......."

Hearing this, Duan Chongjian couldn't help but ask angrily, "Really? ”

Liu Guan nodded: "Seriously!" ”

"Hiss......" Duan Chongjian couldn't help but gasp, this Li Chengye let go of these six households, but it is a big deal to increase the tax amount privately, and it is said that this Li Chengye is quite His Majesty's heart, if he leaks the news, he is afraid that his life will be worried!

"Where are the people now?"

"In this county prison, but you can rest assured that the guards are all cronies, and they will never leak the news!" Liu Guan seemed to have guessed Duan Chongjian's thoughts, and said in a low voice.

Duan Chongjian nodded, and immediately said without thinking, "This person ...... Don't stay! ”
