Sun Jiu and the others thought that they were not thoughtful, so they hurriedly stepped forward to give filial piety. Who would have expected that the officials would not take bribes, but took the warrant of the county guard and told all the merchants that according to the latest decree of the imperial court, all horses were bought by officials. He sent a note of 700 to each horse, ordered the merchants to go back to their hometowns to get the money from the magistrate, and then forcibly pulled the horses away. The merchants begged and begged, and finally moved out the foot captain of the tiger and iron cavalry to come forward to say that the item, the officials and the old men raised the price of the horse to a penny, and promised to give the merchants three days to buy the foot power again, and after three days, all the mounts that were favored by the government must be led by the master to the yamen to deliver.

Since ancient times, the people have not been able to fight officials, and everyone has no choice but to accept their fate. While trying to buy donkeys, mules and other animals to carry goods for horses, most of the leather goods were sold on the spot. As a result, earnings were cut in half from projections. Fortunately, the dividends of everyone's trip were enough, so they barely kept the capital.

Then everyone went back to their hometowns, and Sun Jiu went to Yi County to carry goods for Li Xu, and the time to return to his hometown was delayed for three or five days. After arriving in his hometown, the county magistrate refused to pay his horse money according to the price on the government's white slip, but only paid 100 buckets of Chen Guzi's top account. Sun Jiu was annoyed that the government was untrustworthy, refused to harvest the grain, and took the white strips to the county to ask for an explanation. As a result, before he could get out of the county border, he was locked back by the officers on charges of stealing sheep.

"This, isn't this a frame-up?" Li Xu had never heard such a bizarre story, and said angrily.

"It's not just a planting, Sun Jiu has been walking for so many years, who has ever seen him greedy for others. They obviously want Brother Jiu's life! Brother Jiu's family also had a few sheep money, and his two sons-in-law pooled the money to go to the county yamen to ransom people, but the county lord said that he sued the officials with the people, which was immoral. Not only did he refuse to release him, but he also wanted to treat Sun Jiu for the crime of confiscating the army! Zhang Laosan shook his head and sighed.

"dog officer!" Li Xu sat up angrily and reached out to touch the knife. The palm of his hand touched the leather belt around his waist, and he suddenly remembered that he was outside the plug. If you go back to the Central Plains, I'm afraid you won't even have the qualifications to get close to the yamen. That dog county order was obviously preparing to put Sun Jiu to death, and the method of paying for the purchase was no longer feasible. And in the officialdom of the Central Plains, I don't seem to have a familiar person? Xu Dayan has some ways to go home, but Xu Dayan went to negotiate with the Khitans, and he was thousands of miles away. When he comes back to find a way, I'm afraid that Uncle Nine has already encountered an accident.

It turns out that I still don't have any strength at all! Sun Jiu only occasionally offended the government, and he ended up like this. His father let himself go out of trouble in the name of business, and once he was held accountable by the government, he ....... Li Xu's hands trembled, and his face slowly turned pale.

"P.H., Attached, Sir, you have some friendship with Captain Bu. So let's get out of the jam this time, just want to ask you to send a letter to Captain Bu, and ask him to find a way to save the old man and save the ninth brother. Official-to-official affairs, how, how can it be better fooled than the people to officials! Wang Mazi, who couldn't speak all night, finally spoke neatly and stammered to persuade.

In Li Xu's heart, he has long regarded Sun Jiu as one of his relatives. Hearing Wang Mazi say that things are still taking a turn for the better, Hugh said that he would write a letter, even if he wanted him to go to Yuyang in person, he would be willing to do so. immediately went out of the account to find a pen and paper, ready to save the captain of the school. After the ink was soaked in wolf's hair, he suddenly remembered that he had never even asked the name of the infantry captain.

"General Bu's name is a single soldier, and the little old man once inquired on the way home!" Wang Mazi was a little bit eye-catching, and when he saw that Li Xu didn't write after lifting the brush, he immediately guessed that he didn't remember the name of the captain of the step. Uncle Zhang on the other side changed his face when he heard this, if Li Xu didn't even ask the other party's name that day, the friendship must have been general. With the friendship of Pingshui meeting, I am afraid that the captain of the step school will not have much spare work. Moreover, as a captain of the Tiger Iron Cavalry, he went to inquire about local government affairs, which could not have been regarded as a gesture.

Li Xu has been training behind Xu Dayan for so long, and he is no longer as scheming as when the sun rises. Seeing that Uncle Zhang's face suddenly turned cold, he knew that he was worried about Uncle Jiu's future. He smiled, put down his pen, lowered his head, took out a jade bottle from the wooden box in the corner of the room, and placed it on the table.

"I don't know if this wine glass can make the county magistrate less angry?" Li Xu asked while continuing to revise the book.

"That, that, that will naturally, it will dissipate, dissipate some anger!" Uncle Zhang's eyes were straight by the color of jade, and he stammered in reply. He knew that Li Xu's status in the Su Si Department was not low, but he never expected that after half a year, an ignorant young man suddenly became so rich. The things in officialdom have always been where they don't smear oil and where they don't turn. There is such a jade bottle sent up, and it is said that it is to buy the county order to release Sun Jiuyi, that is, it is enough to buy the county guard to put pressure on the county order.

"Brother Jiu is too, too much to believe in those who are officials and officials!" Wang Mazi swallowed and sighed. A jade bottle is enough for the price of hundreds of sheep. If Brother Jiu didn't fight with the government last year, everyone would have shared the jade bottle, and they would have been able to go home to retire in the future. Now it's a good thing, the two horses didn't get their money back, and hundreds of sheep stuck in it again!

"Uncle Wang, give me all your goods. Early tomorrow morning, I will trouble you and the Xu family to rush back to the Central Plains, hand over this letter to Captain Bu, and then use this jade bottle to take care of Uncle Jiu! Li Xu put down the pen and said while blowing the ink on the paper.

Putting Uncle Jiu's life-saving money in Wang Mazi's hands, he really didn't dare to rest assured. But there is no one to trust at the moment, so I have to let the men of the Xu family supervise Wang Mazi's actions. The elders of the Xu family already knew about Xu Dayan's alliance with himself. With the help of the good brother, the backer fox and the fake tiger, presumably the guys will not dare to disobey.

This was already an obvious distrust, and Wang Mazi immediately darkened his face. But he didn't dare to do it to Li Xufa, so he had to force his anger and agree. Li Xu looked at the other party's face, knowing that his careful thoughts had been guessed, shook his head, and added with a smile: "Don't worry, the goods will be handed over to me to sell, and I will never lose money." I still have some gold and silver here, and when you save Uncle Nine from trouble, I will definitely thank you for the benefits! ”

After speaking, he lifted the lid of the storage box where he stored gold and silver, revealing half of the yellow and white things.

"Do your best for Brother Jiu, too, and it should be. You, you are still young, this money should, should be saved, save up, say, say daughter-in-law! Wang Mazi's throat moved desperately, and the words were no longer sentenced. The gems and gold jade in the box were enough for him to have food and clothing for half his life. Since Li Xu promised everyone to share the account today, in the future, in front of Sun Jiu, even if he regrets it, he will take out part of it to respond to the story. And with one or two of these treasures, who still has to go all the way to suffer from the wind and frost on the plug. Find a face in the downtown of the big city, and you can eat and drink spicy food in the second half of your life......

Li Xu took out a few pieces of silverware and handed them to Wang Mazi as ? on the coil. Uncle Mazi smiled with joy, and forgot all the offense just now. After finalizing all the details, Wang Mazi put away the letter and coiled, raised his hand and pulled the two young people who followed him in front of Li Xu.

"This, this is Lao Zhang and Xiao Lao'er's dogs, your two nephews, think, want to beg for food on the plug. Please, please, Lord Lee, take care of it! Wang Mazi explained while arching his hand to Li Xu.

"I've seen Uncle Li!" The two young people, who were several years older than Li Xu, immediately bowed down, and shouted affectionately with Uncle Li.

Li Xu had long noticed the two young people following Wang Mazi, and had always thought that they were hired by Uncle Zhang and Wang Mazi. Suddenly, the other party was a generation older, and he was caught off guard. Hurriedly dodged to the side, and while reaching out to support the other party, he didn't even dare to say it.

Third Uncle Zhang saw Li Xu's embarrassed expression, and was afraid that he would refuse to take him in. He immediately stepped forward and prayed, "Li, Master Li, the little old man knows that he can't stand you." But Xiao Lao'er is such a son, and he can't watch him being dragged to Liaodong by the government. You, you can do it, let them eat with you in the Kabu! After saying that, he lifted his clothes and wanted to bow down.

Wang Mazi saw that Zhang San said desolately, and also rushed forward to kneel and kowtow. Li Xu picked up this, but couldn't stop that. I had to agree to the matter. Now that he is a small rich man, it doesn't take much effort to feed two idlers. Besides, with these two young people here, Uncle Mazi will do his best to run for Uncle Jiu.

"I said a long time ago, Xuzi, no, Master Li is a kind person!" Wang Mazi saw that Li Xu promised to keep his son, and said with a smile. Why Li Xu left the book without reading that day and went out to engage in cheap work, he and Uncle Zhang had already speculated clearly. This year, the counties have begun to recruit soldiers on a large scale, and sending their children to escape outside the city is indeed the best choice for small families. Moreover, his son is far smarter than Li Xu, and he can soar within half a year, and his son will have to become a rich man in a few years.
