Mao Qing saw that the master of the history of the classics was defending Li Feibai, and he was already afraid to die, and now when he saw that Tang Xin'an still wanted to make friends with Li Feibai, he felt that the sky was spinning.

Although Tang Xin'an is not an official, he is much more powerful than ordinary officials, and he often says in one sentence, and he doesn't know how many officials want to serve him. And this kind of huge wealth is often eaten in black and white, and I don't know how many people in the underworld expect to eat with him, and if they make a move, they don't know how to die.

Therefore, it is better to find your uncle as soon as possible and get along with Li Feibai as soon as possible, otherwise the road ahead will be really difficult. He took out the paper and ink to prepare the note, quietly slipped out of the shop, and walked towards the yamen with a sullen head.

Zhao Jian entered the yamen early in Mao Qing's first pillar of incense, and Lin Zhiyuan followed closely behind him to enter the yamen. Zhao Jian sneered: "Lin Dianshi is so coincidental, let's meet again!" I just don't know if I can meet Lin Dian Shi in Yamen in a few days! ”

This sentence was full of threat, and Lin Zhiyuan's back couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Along the way, he had already considered the consequences of saying that sentence, and Zhao Xianling would definitely be furious when he knew about it. When the books of the two people were sent to the ministry at the same time, I was afraid that the ministry would believe Zhao Xuefei and not believe him, would this official be able to do it? But he still has a glimmer of hope, what if Zhao County's order can be dealt with by the public? Although there is little hope, we have to try. Hearing Zhao Jian's threat, he wanted to beg for a few words, hoping that today's matter would be over. But let him, a court official, talk softly to an ambassador, but he really can't open that mouth.

For a while, he lost his temper again, and said: "If the officials misjudge, I will go to Beijing to sue the emperor!" I can't tell you a little ambassador, I vow not to give up! ”

Zhao Jian snorted coldly and said, "Do you think the emperor is what you say you can see?" If you have the ability to see the emperor, you won't be a little history in Jiyuan! ”

The two of them walked towards the retreat hall together.

There are three halls in the yamen. One is the lobby that handles county affairs and adjudicates cases. One is to view the file and receive guests. One is to enter the hall to take a break after retiring from the hall and reflect on the three halls of the day's official duties, which is also the retreat hall.

At this hour, Zhao Xuefei should have just finished the lunch hall and was taking a break in the retreat hall.

The door of the retreat hall was not closed, and there were three soap guards on each side of the door. Before Zhao Jian and Lin Zhiyuan arrived at the retreat hall, they saw Zhao Xuefei sitting in the hall, his hands crossed on his lower abdomen, closed his eyes and pondered.

Zhao Jian walked to the door, knelt down with a puff, and said, "My lord, the villain has something to say!" ”

Lin Zhiyuan didn't kneel on Zhao Xuefei before, but at this time he also knelt down and said, "My lord, the lower officials also have something to report!" ”

Zhao Xuefei opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Jian and Lin Zhiyuan in a little surprise, knowing that the two were here to tear each other down. And Lin Zhiyuan actually knelt down, which shows that this matter is very unfavorable to Lin Zhiyuan. He nodded and said, "Come in!" ”

Zhao Jian glanced at Lin Zhiyuan proudly, got up and walked in, and said secretly in his heart: "The surname Lin, and the surname Li, you two are going to die today!" ”

Lin Zhiyuan also got up and walked in, habitually finding a chair to sit down, but saw Zhao Jian puff and kneel down again. He also wanted to kneel, but thinking that he had already sat down, he got up and knelt again, which made people even more underestimated. So he sat down with his buttocks and said secretly: "If you really want to protect Zhao Jian, I can't change it even if I kneel to death, so it's better to save some face." ”

Zhao Xuefei said: "What do you have to tell me?" ”

Lin Zhiyuan opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Zhao Jian was already kneeling on the ground and crying: "Lord County Order, you must make the decision for the villain!" ”

Zhao Xuefei frowned secretly and said, "If you have something to say, what are you crying about?" ”

Zhao Jian said: "The villain went to collect taxes today, and he happened to meet Lord Lin. Xu Shilin had drunk a few times with the shopkeeper of that merchant, and the relationship was familiar, so he stopped the villain from accepting it, and said that he would let the villain give face. The villain said that doing business and paying taxes was the king's law, and he didn't dare to show favoritism. Lord Lin got angry and said that the villain's ass was not clean. He also said that the villain was a cronie of the county magistrate, and the county magistrate's ass was not clean. He wants to join the eldest master, which will make the eldest master unlucky! ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Xuefei's face. Seeing that Zhao Xuefei's brows were getting tighter and tighter, his face was getting heavier and heavier, he was ecstatic in his heart, and said secretly: "The surname Lin can't kill you today." ”

Lin Zhiyuan was so angry that his face turned the color of pig liver. Unexpectedly, Zhao Jian misinterpreted the meaning of his words so much, and said repeatedly: "I didn't say that!" ”

Zhao Jian said: "You said it! ”

Lin Zhiyuan said to Zhao Xuefei: "My lord, we can invite that merchant over, and we will find out as soon as we ask." ”

Zhao Jian said: "Please come over?" The two of you are in a group, and you must have communicated how to talk about it. Otherwise, there are seven or eight people in my tax department who can prove that you said so, how about calling them together? ”

Zhao Xuefei snorted coldly, his face cold.

Zhao Jian'er listened to Zhao Xuefei's cold snort, knowing that he had won, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, but he said: "Please ask the county commander to be the master of the villain." ”

Lin Zhiyuan said: "Right and wrong have their own judgment!" He sighed, and continued: "I have nothing to do today, so I want to go to Li Feibai to discuss the matter of collecting tickets for the temple." Who knew that when he got there, this dog thing was collecting Li Feibai's tax. A small shop, no matter how good the business is, has a tax of up to 100 taels a year, but he has to collect 120,000 taels. In our city, all the shops combined, there is no tax of 12,000 taels! Didn't he collect 120,000 taels to force people to death? I couldn't get angry, so I let him pay the normal tax. But this dog thing doesn't have a history of me at all in his eyes, and the foul language in his mouth makes me really angry, so he said an angry word, and wants to go to this dog thing. Who knew that he reversed black and white, poured sewage on me, and asked Lord Zhao to judge. ”

Zhao Jian said: "The county commander is clearly decided, he is completely nonsense. I went to collect taxes, and I collected only one hundred and twenty taels, and he said that I collected twelve hundred thousand taels. Oh my God, he told such a lie? But who can believe such a lie? I'm afraid that a fool won't believe it! ”

Zhao Xuefei broke off and shouted: "Shut up!" ”

Zhao Jian trembled, and had a bad premonition. raised his eyes to look, and saw Zhao Xuefei staring at him with fire-breathing eyes, looking like he was going to tear him apart. He was so frightened that his thighs trembled, and a chill spread all over his body from the soles of his feet, and he wondered what went wrong in his heart, why Zhao Xuefei looked like this.

Zhao Xuefei continued: "Ambassador Zhao, do you say that I, Zhao, am a fool? ”

Zhao Jian hurriedly said: "No! ”

Zhao Xuefei said: "Didn't you say that whoever wants to believe Lin Dianshi's words is a fool?" Tell you, I'll believe the words of Lin Dianshi! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Jian and Lin Zhiyuan were all stunned. Zhao Jian couldn't understand why Zhao Xuefei had obviously been moved by what he said, and suddenly turned his face. Lin Zhiyuan couldn't understand why Zhao Xuefei suddenly helped him.

Zhao Xuefei said: "Zhao Jian! Do you think I don't know all the dirty things you've done behind my back? The reason why I can't bear it is to give you a chance, and I hope you will wake up and change your ways. Unexpectedly, not only did you not change your ways, but you also intensified your efforts, not only using huge taxes to oppress the good, but also using despicable means to provoke the relationship between me and Lord Lin. Just because you are a mere ambassador of the tax bureau, you want to play with our imperial court officials? It's just wishful thinking! Come, put me in prison for this wanton and reckless scourge, carefully examine all the crimes, and then deal with them according to the king's law! ”

Zhao Jian thought about the things he had done before, he really wanted to investigate the truth, and if he didn't die, he would have to lose his skin, kowtowed, and said, "Please spare your life!" ”

At this time, two soaps had already come in. Zhao Xuefei shouted angrily: "Don't drag him out for me yet!" ”
