Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Villain's Ambition

Song Wenjian said disapprerovingly: "Don't worry about this, there will be a good show to watch today." ”

"By the way, young master, I heard that Chen Zhichong was beaten by others last night, and his head was broken and bleeding, so he will have to lie in bed for at least half a month." Zheng Sike said with a smile.

"This is called evil and evil retribution, and it deserves it." Song Wenjian was also happy.

can let Chen Zhichong lie at home for half a month, and he can also save a little less worry, so as not to be shot coldly by Chen Zhichong in the back.

Today, Ye Wenyang was sentenced to come to Suixi County to inspect the work, and Song Hua also got up early, changed into a clean official uniform, and took Zheng Sike to the Yamen.

Song Wenjian had breakfast, and when he was about to go out, Xiaoqing ran out to stop him. "Miss called you."

"Call me?" Song Wenjian was surprised, and when he returned to the house, he saw Mo Xintong holding several books in his hand, including four books and five classics.

"You're done with breakfast, so let's read a book here. There are still two months to go before the children's exam. Mo Xintong pointed to the books on the table.

"Reading a book?" Song Wenjian's head is big. Now that his time is so tight, how can he have time to read.

It's July, and after the harvest is over, it's time to plant a second late rice. In two days, he was going to talk to Dai Wang about planting late rice, so how could he have time to study?

"Well, didn't you promise me to take the children's exam in September? Do you want to change your hexagram? Mo Xintong raised her eyebrows.

Song Wenjian shook his head and said: "I haven't changed my hexagram, my September exam is." ”

Mo Xintong was a little angry: "Are you playing?" If you don't study well, how can you take the exam? ”

"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to be admitted to Tongsheng, even if it is a showman, there is no problem." Song Wenjian said with a smile.

Xiaoqing said to Mo Xintong: "Miss, there's no way, he's starting to be stupid again." ”

"Well, you put the book here, and I'll come back in the evening." Song Wenjian was afraid that Ye Wenyang had already come to the yamen, and he would not see a good show.

When Song Wenjian came to the yamen, he found that the usually lazy porter was standing straight and wearing brand new clothes.

At the front door of the yamen, there were two rows of yacha with water and fire sticks, all of them in good spirits, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Song Wenjian is considered the second generation of officials, so he was not stopped by others when he entered and exited the yamen.

Zheng Sike had been standing outside Song Hua's public house, and when he saw Song Wenjian coming, he hurriedly ran forward. "Young Master, the general verdict has not yet come. But I heard from the person who reported the news in front of me that it was almost there. ”

"Well, I see, you go get busy." Song Wenjian continued to wander around the various public houses.

At this time, Li Rujun's master Jia Daoming came over. "Young Master Song, you go home and play, don't be here, Leizhou will be sentenced in a while."

"Hello Master Jia, I don't make trouble, I just sit in the backyard." Song Wenjian said with a smile.

Jia Daoming saw that he would be sentenced for a while, and he also went to the court in the front yard, and he didn't care about Song Wenjian.

Half an hour later, Chen Huatao's hysterical shout sounded outside: "You all stand up, Lord Tongju is here." ”

Song Wenjian followed some people to the front door, and saw Tie Dao with some yacha opening the road in front, behind were several carriages, and next to a big carriage in the middle sat two black-clothed men with knives, estimated to be Ye Wenyang's guards.

According to the law of the Moon Dynasty, officials above the sixth rank can bring escorts, and officials above the third rank can bring family soldiers and generals. A seven-grade official like the county order is not qualified enough.

When the carriage stopped in front of the county yamen, Chen Huatao hurriedly ran up and said respectfully: "Lord Tongju, it's here." ”

"Yes, it's good to be there." A majestic voice came from inside, and the guard on the right jumped down, took a few steps back, and looked around warily.

The guard on the left took a few steps forward, also looking vigilant.

Chen Huatao hurriedly pulled out the curtain and helped Ye Wenyang inside.

Ye Wenyang is about fifty years old, with a small beard on his chin, and his black official uniform looks very serious.

The yacha next to him whispered: "Look, this is the ability of the guards of Leizhou Mansion, much stronger than us." ”

"Of course, we take as much as they get." Ma Wei in the back disagreed.

Li Rujun took Song Hua and Yang Yiqing and hurriedly ran up and said, "Lord Ye, we are dealing with official business, and we are not welcome, please be angry." ”

"Hehe, it's okay, just have Hua Tao with me." Chen Huatao is Ye Wenyang's person, and he deliberately stands for Ye Wenyang.

Yang Yiqing glanced at Song Hua regretfully, it seemed that after a month, he was going to leave.

Li Rujun accompanied Ye Wenyang into the public hall, Ye Wenyang sat on the top of the public hall, Li Rujun sat beside him, and Song Hua and others stood below to listen to the training.

In order to reflect the people's feelings during his inspection of Suixi County, Ye Wenyang asked some officials to tell about the situation in various aspects.

At this time, the officials must have reported good news and not bad news, and Ye Wenyang kept bowing his head when he heard it.

"Yes, Rujun, it seems that under your governance, Suixi County is thriving in all aspects, which is gratifying." Ye Wenyang thought that the main purpose of his coming here this time was to stand on the platform for Chen Huatao, so he asked with a smile: "I don't know how you are collecting taxes and grain this year?" ”

Li Rujun touched his chin and said, "Lord Ye, there has been a drought in many places in our county this year, I wonder if we can pay less taxes and grain?" ”

The tax and grain collected are basically collected by the county, and some of them must be withheld and most of them will be handed over.

If we can pay less, the county will be able to store more grain, and it will be easier to carry out work in the future.

But Ye Wenyang has been an official for many years, how can he listen to Li Rujun's excuses?

"Rujun, this can't be done, our Leizhou Mansion is also very poor. Now the taxes and grain handed over to the state treasury are getting heavier and heavier, and we can't bear it. Ye Wenyang glanced at Chen Huatao gratefully.

His own people are his own people, and Chen Huatao wrote to him early in the morning to pay his credit. The Hengshan Township that Chen Huatao is responsible for can be completed, why can't you do it in other townships?

Ye Wenyang deliberately asked, "Hua Tao, how is the collection task you are responsible for?" ”

"Lord Ye, the Hengshan Township I am responsible for has already exceeded the task of collecting taxes and grains, please rest assured." Chen Huatao was secretly happy that his opportunity to show his face had come.

When Li Rujun heard Chen Huatao say this, he secretly screamed that it was not good. It seems that the matter of wanting to reduce taxes and grain for Yangqing Township cannot be passed.

Sure enough, Ye Wenyang said to Li Rujun: "Rujun, have you heard, there are still more methods than problems, you grit your teeth, you will definitely be able to complete the task of collecting taxes and grain." ”

"This, this, let's try to figure it out." Li Rujun said helplessly.

Song Hua has not complained to him in the past few days, but it is estimated that there is still a big problem in Yangqing Township. Alas, let's find another way.

Song Hua may be leaving office in a month, and it is estimated that he will not do this wholeheartedly.

"Song Hua, how is the Yangqing Township you are responsible for?" Ye Wenyang smiled at Song Hua below.

In the first three months, Ye Wenyang had already come to Suixi County to understand the situation and knew that Song Hua was in charge of Yangqing Township.

"Hey, hey, Lord Ye, I heard that Songhua County didn't do things well, and only collected one-tenth of the tax grain for the assigned tasks." Chen Huatao's villain was ambitious and began to fall into the ground.
