"My lord, this Fengjia Town should not be simple according to the subordinates, the mayor's mansion is built on a large scale, and the layout of the entire town is also quite exquisite, if it is calculated according to the head of the town, it is not difficult to organize a garrison of two hundred people, if we can take it hard, it will not be easy" After Shan Yi and the others left Fengjia Town, they had been wandering around and quietly observing, at this time a guard analyzed to Shan Yi in a low voice.

"Well, what you said is right, this matter will be discussed after you go back, you send two people to stay here to observe secretly, and report back if there is any situation" Shan Yi stared at Feng Jiazhen and nodded secretly, he had lived and grown up in the eyes of such local tyrants since he was a child, and he didn't believe it to say that these people didn't have any savings in their families to kill him, let alone this town.

After leaving two guards, the group walked seven or eight miles to the north pointed out by Feng Chen, and finally saw another town, and after the last experience, everyone did not linger at the entrance of the village, and went straight into the town, and after inquiry, they found the mayor's mansion, which was another mansion.

Shan Yi sneered and looked at such a courtyard, and secretly said in his heart, "It seems that this place is not without oil and water, but it is just gathered together, so it is better, and the province is in a pot to collect the trouble."

"Who are you waiting for, dare to stay here, don't you know what this place is?" The housekeeper at the door shouted at the mountain wing menacingly.

"I really don't know whether to live or die, this is the imperial court official appointed by General Huangfu of Yanmen Guan, and he dares to shout and ask you to ask for the guilt together, and he will not ask your master to come out to greet him."

The guard stepped forward and the majestic style frightened the family, and when he heard that it was the official of the imperial court who arrived, he hurriedly changed his smiling face, "It turned out that the adult arrived, and the small one was offended, so I will invite you to invite my master" After saying that, he turned around and ran in, for fear that Shan Yi and others would leave him to accompany him.

After a while, a housekeeper smiled and welcomed the mountain wing in, led all the way to the front hall and said, "This lord, my lord is not in good health, he is sick in bed all the year round, it is really inconvenient to come out to see you, if there is anything important, it is better to tell the little slave, as long as I can do it, I can make the decision."

"Oh? It's great that you can call the shots, General Huangfu ordered me to come here to collect taxes, you can take out all this year's accounts, and I will count them when the time comes, and the account register of your town will also be handed over to me to count" Shan Yi nodded, it is naturally best to save trouble, if there is another old fox like Feng Chen, he has no time to play with him.

"Yes, the small ones are all prepared for you, you wait a minute" The official went out and instructed the family to say two words, the time was not big, and two strong men held a bunch of account books and put them in front of the mountain wing, and the housekeeper smiled and said, "These are the account books in my town in the past three years, and these are the account books, please take a look."

Shan Yi glanced at the account books that were about to pile up like a mountain, and nodded with a secret smile in his heart, "Okay, I'm afraid that so many account books will have to be counted for a while, I won't stay here and waste time, you put these things away for me, take them back and count them slowly" Shan Yi waved his hand, and the guards behind him naturally stepped forward to clean up.

Seeing that he had packed up the mountain wings, he soon got up and said goodbye, and when he left the town, he naturally left two more guards, and returned to Kailang Village with the remaining guards.

"The head of the higher education came back earlier than me, I don't know how the harvest is?" Shan Yi smiled, and found Gao Shun, who had come back earlier, talking to Bai Cang and the others in the hall.

"Your kid is not slow to come back, there is really no good place to go in this radius of a hundred and ten miles, except for a few broken villages on my side, all of them are barren mountains and mountains, this trip is really not smooth, but looking at your red face, I'm afraid there is something to discover" Gao Shun looked back at him and quipped.

"There are some gains, but they are nothing compared to the troubles, these are my gains today, you see," he said, commanding the guards to pile up the account books of the two towns on the table.

Bai Cang curiously picked up a book and flipped through it and asked, "There are so many account books, I'm afraid the town is not small, you really didn't run in vain this trip, tell me what's going on?" ”。

Shan Yi told him how he found the two towns today, how he was almost injured by a sneak attack, blackmailed Feng Chen with nearly fifty stones of grain, and so on, and finally said with a smile, "The five hundred buckets of grain should be enough for us to open the cage for a few months, and I will collect it when the accounts are settled."

Ying Shao smiled slightly after listening to Shanyi's words on the side, picked up an account book and said with a smile: "If you rely on these things, I'm afraid it would be good if we could collect some residues, the articles in this account book are too big, I guess if it's good, these should be fake, and the real account book won't be taken out for you at all."

"What? If these bastards dare to trick me, I knew there must be something wrong with such a pleasure" Yamachi immediately shouted angrily when he heard this, he was inexperienced and didn't know if he was tricked.

Bai Cang shook his head and sighed, "Don't get excited, we don't have much experience with these, if it weren't for Mr. Ying here, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to distinguish this fake account book, but since I know it, it's much easier, Mr. Ying, how do you think it can be solved at this time?" ”。

Ying Shao is just an old man, and he doesn't have any ideas about these things, so he shook his head and said, "It's difficult, unless you find the real account book, there is no way to collect taxes by legitimate means, but after this fight, I'm afraid that the real account book has been destroyed now, and I don't have any idea for a while."

"Then let's go to the door and turn his town upside down, I don't believe he can hide it all, and when the time comes, we'll find out a few people," Yamata suggested.

Bai Cang shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not so simple, if they want to hide, this is a hundred miles away from them to choose from, we can still turn over such a big place, take a step back and say, even if we find it, can we take it with our strength?" ”。

"What can't be taken away, do they dare to resist? General Huangfu's army is in Yanmen Pass, and they are still rebelling here? The mountain wing shouted out without believing in evil.

"Hey, if General Huangfu wanted to use force, wouldn't it have been used a long time ago, and he would have called you and me here, it would not be good to say that the name was not right, even if it was to be confiscated, it must be documented, and it could not be true, after all, General Huangfu was an official of the imperial court, and if he sent troops to forcibly recruit and robbers, there would be no difference between him, and I would wait for the first time to come, if this little thing can't be done well, what face will I have to go back, I don't want to use the power of others" Bai Cang said firmly, this matter must be handled by his own strength.

"In that case, what else can we do? If you really want to make a move, I'm afraid that our one hundred and ten people are not opponents, and the two towns together have at least five hundred guards, so it seems that they can only outwit it" Seeing that Bai Cang's mind had been decided, he didn't persuade much, and immediately began to think of ideas.

Gao Shun thought for a while and said, "The hundred and ten people we brought are not as usual, how can the guards in this town compare to our elite soldiers, and I can break him with these hundred elites in a head-on conflict, as long as they dare to come out, I will not be able to go back."

"I can naturally trust the ability of the head of the higher education, but this tax matter is not necessarily so simple, even if it is fought, it must be meaningful, even if we bulldoze their entire town, we will not achieve the original purpose, or mainly collect the taxes on the soldiers' salaries" Ying Shao saw that everyone was a little off-topic, and hurriedly said another sentence.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Ying is right, our main purpose is to collect taxes and grain, and there is no point in calling around, but how to find out where they hide money and grain?"

Everyone suddenly fell into confusion again, and if the real problem could not be solved, they could not do anything, Bai Cang sat in the main hall and frowned, and others had no idea.

At this moment, there was a guard outside the door who reported, "Lord of the village, there are two strangers from outside our village, saying that the second master of the mountain asked them to come to join him."

"Oh? It's really coming, it's good news, call them in" Shan Yi was happy when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered someone to bring them in.

It didn't take much time, and the guards brought in two villagers, who were the Lu brothers before, and Shan Yi laughed when he saw it and said, "Did you make sense that the old lady came to vote for me?" In that case, stay and be a guard first."

"Thank you for your love, my brother should serve to the death, although my mother is stubborn, but I have been moved by me, I am packing up my things at this time, I will pick it up tomorrow" Lu Kuang Lu Xiang stepped forward and said respectfully.

Shan Yi patted the two of them and smiled at Bai Cang, "See, I also have guards now, don't underestimate me in the future."

"Okay, I didn't expect you to go out for a spin and take two guards, but what good can you teach others with this virtue, I think it's better to arrange for a workout in the army first, otherwise it will be difficult to become an atmosphere" Gao Shun pushed him on the side and scolded with a smile, but from Gao Shun's eyes, the Lu brothers are still quite satisfied, although they are not very tall and strong, but they are strong, their dark skin is similar to that of the mountain wings, their thin body is vigorous, and their eyes are also embarrassed.

"Since the head of the higher education said so, then arrange it for you first, the person I fancy will never be wrong, he will definitely have a future in the future," Shan Yi said with a boastful smile.

Bai Cang couldn't help but be happy when he looked at everyone talking and laughing, but the difficult matter just now was still troubled in his heart, and his face couldn't help but be a little sad, Ying Shao saw that he was anxious for the young master in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "The young master doesn't have to be in a hurry, this matter has its own solution, it's just that the time has not come, let's think about it slowly."

As soon as everyone heard Ying Shao's words, they remembered the scene just now, and suddenly the hall was silent again, and the Lu brothers looked at the people who were still laughing just now, and they were so quickly gloomy and didn't know why.

"Master Shan, but what difficulties have you encountered? If you have enough to use my brother, just open your mouth, my brother will never give up," Lu Kuang whispered to the mountain wing.
