Song Wenjian sneered: "Sike, your guts are too small, how can a thief fight with an official?" Besides, they were going to kill us last night, and if we were soft, we would only be killed by them. Since everyone is mortal enemies, how can you let them go? This time, they suffered more than a dozen casualties, and they also suffered a lot of losses. ”

"That's right, as long as we don't go out in the city, the Luogang bandits can't do anything about us." Zheng Sike thought about it and felt that Song Wenjian was right.

"What's the situation on the Yamen's side?" Song Wenjian asked.

Zheng Sike said: "When the county magistrate heard that it was a Luogang bandit, he didn't say much, and now the atmosphere in the yamen feels a little weird. ”

"Well, I know, let's get ready to watch a good show when the yamen responds (to work)." Song Wenjian said with a smile.

Song Wenjian had breakfast, and when he was about to go out, Mo Xintong came out and stopped him. "You're going out again today, aren't you reading?"

Song Wenjian looked back, and his eyes were full of appreciation.

Today, Mo Xintong is wearing a dark purple fairy dress, with red lips and bright teeth, out of the dust, just like a white lotus that cannot be blasphemed, beautiful and enchanting, and at the same time, a fresh luxury emanates from her.

"There's something going on today, I'll come back and see it, okay?" Song Wenjian asked Mo Xintong suspiciously.

In ancient times, the husband was the sky, and he didn't need to ask his wife what he wanted to do.

"It's going to be a child's exam soon, how can you take the exam if you don't read?" Mo Xintong was worried.

"Don't worry, I can get in. Why don't you test me when you have some free time? Song Wenjian said with a smile.

Mo Xintong bowed slightly and didn't say anything more.

Song Wenjian came to the county yamen and found Dai Wang standing not far away with two villagers.

Song Wenjian beckoned Dai Wang over: "Dai Wang, thank you for your hard work." What about the other lieutenants? ”

He was strange, didn't he tell those lieutenants last night to let them come together?

"The other captains are over there, and they're all here." Dai Wang hesitated for a while and said, "Young Master Song, it seems that the situation is a little wrong. ”

"What's wrong?" Song Wenjian asked.

Dai Wang said: "Those lieutenants are with Mo Weibao. ”

"Huh?" Song Wenjian was taken aback.

When he was about to ask what was going on, the bell of the county yamen rang, and some yamen walked into the yamen one after another.

After responding to the law, Song Hua beat the drum to complain, and Wu Guanhai and others also came over as witnesses.

When Li Rujun heard that Mo Weibao refused to sign a contract with the peasant households, he was so angry that he called someone to arrest Mo Weibao and bring him over.

"My lord, I heard that Mo Weibao and the elders of Yangqing came to the county seat early in the morning, and it is estimated that they are outside now." Chen Huatao stepped forward and bowed his hand.

"Oh, Mo Wei made sure they came just in time, and the yamen sent them in." Li Rujun said.

After a while, Mo Weibao and the lieutenant entered the yamen together, and there were ten yacha with water and fire sticks standing on each side, which made people timid.

Dai Wang and other lieutenants knelt down to Li Rujun one after another, and Mo Weibao had a reputation for showing off his talents, so he didn't have to kneel.

"Mo Weibao, Songhua County sued you for refusing to sign a contract with Yangqing farmers, but is there such a thing?" Li Rujun stared at Mo Weibao viciously.

Now everything has to open the way for the collection of taxes and grain, and whoever is stumbling in the dark, then don't blame him for being unkind.

"My lord, please be careful." Mo Weibao said as he wiped his tears, his heartbroken appearance made people feel a little sorry for him. "The last time Song Hua County Cheng went to Yangqing Township, he coerced me to lend money to farmers with an interest rate of one and five times the year, but I really had no choice."

"Oh, that contract was forced by Song Hua?" Li Rujun was stunned, he didn't expect that there was still a hidden secret.

Song Hua was furious when he heard this, "Mo Weibao, I didn't coerce you. ”

"Since Lord Song didn't coerce me, then I won't sign a contract with the farmer." Mo Weibao smiled treacherously.

He received a second message from Chen Huatao last night and knew what he had done. Hmph, Song Hua, you fought with Lord Chen, and it was a little tender.

"This kind of borrowing money is something you want me to do, and you can't coerce me." Mo Weibao said.

"You, you ......" Song Hua was so angry that he was almost speechless.

Mo Weibao continued: "As the head of Yangqing Township, I implore the county magistrate to remove Lord Song Hua from the supervision of our township's collection of taxes and grains this year, and replace it with Lord Chen Huatao. ”

"No, I don't agree." Dai Wang in the audience shouted loudly.

Mo Weibao looked at Dai Wang and smiled: "Dai Wang, our township has fifteen miles, and you are just one of them, and you can't represent the ideas of other lieutenants." ”

Dai Wang turned to look at the other lieutenants and asked, "Do you all agree with Lord Chen Huatao to supervise the work of collecting taxes and grain in our township?" ”

The lieutenant governor of Jiuli whispered to Dai Wang: "Brother Wang, we have no choice, Lord Song supervises us, and Township Chief Mo will not lend us money and grain to pay taxes and grain." Last night, Township Chief Mo sent someone to tell us that as long as we support Lord Chen's supervision, he will definitely lend us money to pay taxes and grain. ”

Dai Wang had nothing to say, although the elders supported Song Hua, but Chen Huatao and Mo Weibao used this to blackmail the farmers, and the tax grain was related to the vital interests of their whole family, so they could only obediently comply.

Song Hua was also stunned on the spot, the elders insisted on not letting him supervise, and he had no way to help them, so it seemed that he had to let Xian.

But he was unwilling, if he failed like this, a month later, he would not be able to become a county official.

Li Rujun listened to the words of everyone in the audience, and his heart couldn't help but move.

He, who is the county magistrate, doesn't care who supervises the work of collecting taxes and grains in Yangqing Township, as long as he can collect the taxes and grains as scheduled.

Song Hua can't do it, and it's okay to let Chen Huatao go.

"Chen Dianshi, what do you think?" Li Rujun asked Chen Huatao.

Chen Huatao saw that the other fourteen lieutenant chiefs and Mo Weibao insisted on supervising the collection of taxes and grain in Yangqing Township, and Li Rujun asked again, knowing that the big thing was about to be decided.

He deliberately said reservedly: "Alas, I didn't want to fight with Lord Song Hua or anything, but the tax and grain collection work in Yangqing Township is so poor, for the sake of the common people in Yangqing Township, I reluctantly agreed." I will definitely do my best to complete the task and not disappoint the prefectural magistrate. ”

"Chen Huatao, you can't do this." Song Hua shouted.

"Song Hua, do you have the ability to collect the tax and grain in Yangqing Township as scheduled?" Chen Huatao asked rhetorically.

"I, I ......" Song Hua was speechless again. If Mo Weibao helped, he still had a way, but now there is no way at all.

Song Wenjian saw that his father was short of words, and Li Rujun was about to announce Chen Huatao's new appointment, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lord County Commander, please don't rush to appoint, I want to ask Mo Weibao something." ”

"Two fools, I don't answer your questions." When Mo Weibao heard Song Wenjian say this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped up.

Mo Weibao didn't know why, he always felt that Song Wenjian was not ordinary, and he was afraid that things would go wrong.

Chen Huatao was also busy: "Yes, a person with intellectual problems, what other questions do you ask?" Ma Wei, please let the stupid young master of the Song family out. ”

Chen Huatao deliberately said that Song Wenjian was stupid, and wanted Li Rujun not to speak to Song Wenjian, so as not to cause another accident.
