Chapter 34: The Great Liao Warriors
"Can you play chess?"
"Is chess successful?" Wang Ning'an asked tentatively, he felt that scholars and doctors should like to play Go, and some people worked hard to study the way of black and white, but they didn't think that Bao Heizi was an exception, Bao Heizi laughed and set up the chessboard, and grabbed a first move.

"Head shot!"
Wang Ningan hurriedly jumped up the "horse", and the two of them came and went, and got down. Wang Ningan's chess skills are not very good, who knows that Bao Zheng is even more interesting, he plays chess and moves forward, kills and cuts, opens and closes, does not fight the last piece, and never stops.
In the face of Bao Heizi's crazy attack, Wang Ningan occasionally played a little trick to hack Lao Bao, and they actually killed an intractable one.
Bao Kuroko is addicted!
Wang Ningan secretly smiled bitterly, it was simply a pair of stinky chess baskets, it was estimated that Gongsun Ce would not be willing to play chess with him, so he would bully and bully children!
The two men killed three sets in a row, and suddenly a pigeon landed in the yard and flapped its wings twice. The errand officer Dong Ping hurriedly ran over and hugged him.
"Lord Qiqi, outside the small south gate, the dynasty is ready!"
Bao Zheng hesitated slightly and continued to launch an offensive, and Wang Ningan struggled to deal with it.
"My lord, in the east gate, the Zhongyi Fang is ready."
"My lord, the Black Dragon Bridge is ready."
"Adult ......"
One after another, when Wang Ningan and Bao Zheng went down to the seventh game, the last place was also ready, Bao Zheng raised the "car" high, put it back, and said with a smile: "Keep the chessboard, and when you clean up the Cui family, you will finish this game!" ”
After speaking, Bao Zheng waved his hand, "Drumming!" ”
An errand officer received the order and rushed to the drum tower.
Bao Zheng took the rest of the servants and killed the Cui family's mansion together.
There are still dozens of steps away from Cui's house, knock knock! The earth-shattering drum sounded, so fast and powerful that Wang Ningan even felt that his blood was boiling, and he couldn't help but want to roar with indulgence.
"Open the door!"
Dong Ping and Xue Ba desperately knocked on the door of the Cui family.
"Get out of here, or we'll be in!"
After shouting three times, the door finally opened, and an old butler came out of a panic inside, and saw hundreds of servants outside, holding ropes and iron rulers, and his momentum was violent, and he was suddenly frightened.
"You, what are you going to do?"
"Don't do anything, your mansion has made a mistake, everyone follow me in!"
Dong Ping pushed the housekeeper away and rushed in first.
Xue Ba beckoned the others to follow, and Bao Zheng also entered the Cui family's mansion under the hug.
"Search for this official!"
The errand was about to disperse and search, Cui Yu was finally late, he didn't even have time to buckle his clothes, and when he saw Bao Zheng's fierce spirit, he was also shocked and surprised, and said with a smile: "It turned out that Master Bao arrived, and the little one didn't greet him, and I ask for forgiveness." ”
"Hmm!" Bao Zheng just nodded and continued to let others search, Cui Yu was furious.
"Old parents, although Cui is a small citizen, he is not a face-to-face, why should he search my home for no reason?"
"Do you want a reason?" Bao Zheng smiled, "Cui Yu, your family runs a wine shop business, right?" ”
"That's right!" Cui Yu agreed cleanly, "Lord Bao, the Cui family has always abided by the rules, we paid a deposit of 200 yuan, and the highest bid, got the right to buy for three years, and paid the liquor tax to the imperial court every year in accordance with the rules, and the score was exactly right." Bag adults. If it is because of this, it will be a little unreasonable to search our house! Don't you give good people a way to live? ”
Cui Yu has a red mouth and white teeth, righteousness and strict words, the wine law of the Song Dynasty is very strict, in addition to the official monopoly, some remote, little profit places, the government adopts the method of "buying", to put it bluntly, it is the right to bid for the purchase of liquor and liquor. The large households that have been given the right to "buy" pay the taxes and then bear their own profits and losses.
Cui Yu is right, he does not owe money to the imperial court, on the contrary, the annual tax paid by his winery accounts for almost one-twentieth of Cangzhou's income, and he is an out-and-out large taxpayer.
Cui Yu's screaming sounded, and the Cui family's house slave thugs also rushed out, blocking many servants, and the two sides were tense, and there was a great momentum of triggering.
Wang Ningan blinked, suddenly stood up, and said with a smile: "Uncle, my nephew is polite." ”
"Nephew?"
Cui Yuyi frowned, "Little Housheng, why hasn't the old man seen you?" ”
"Hehe, uncle, I am Wang Liangxun's nephew, and Cui's is my second uncle." Wang Ningan said with a smile: "I haven't come to visit my relatives all these years, my uncle won't blame the kid for being rude, right?" ”
Hearing Wang Liangxun, Cui Yu's face changed slightly, and he barely squeezed out a smile, "I see, then you are also here to help Master Bao search his uncle's house?" ”
"Wrong!" Wang Ningan suddenly felt heartbroken, "We are here to help my uncle reduce his burden." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Uncle, as far as I know, there are five liquor shops in the city, which can produce no less than 500,000 catties of soju every year, and each catty of wine has to pay 15 wen tax, and the annual liquor tax alone is 7,500 yuan, tsk, it's really too much."
Cui Yu didn't understand what he meant, and said with a dry smile: "Uncle does have a big family, and I never dare to be vague about the errands of the imperial court." ”
"Yes, the little nephew has helped Master Bao run all over Cangzhou these days, and found that the people of Cangzhou are poor, most of them use wild fruits in the mountains to make wine, and the wine sold in Cangzhou City every year is only 200,000 catties, and my uncle's family accounts for eighty percent, that is, 160,000 catties, and 340,000 catties of soju, there is nowhere to go, and I want to ask my uncle, what is the reason for this?"
Cui Yu was shocked, on the surface, it was still light and light, "What's wrong with this, my uncle's winery doesn't make wine every day, and if it sells less, it will naturally brew a little less, and the wine produced every year is not as much as 500,000 catties, and it is only 150,000 catties." ”
"Sure enough!" Wang Ningan smiled at Bao Zheng, "My lord, I'm right, right?" The imperial court overcharged my uncle's liquor tax, and asked the adults to relieve the suffering of the people, and exempted my uncle from the overpaid taxes. ”
"That's natural, but the official can't just listen to Mr. Cui's words, and ask him to take out the account books of the past years of importing and selling wine, and after the old man approves it, he must be the master of the people!"
"Okay, the kid first thank you for my uncle, my uncle will definitely be willing to take it out, the tax reduction is not active, and there is a problem with the head, right?"
Wang Ning'an bared his white teeth and smiled, looking harmless to humans and animals, but Cui Yu was mad, these two villains sang and harmonized, and squeezed themselves into the corner.
He had no choice but to say: "My lord, the Cui family has been in the wine-making business for many years, and the accounts are chaotic, and I can't figure it out for a while, please give me a grace period of three days, and the villain will definitely give the accounts with both hands!" ”
"Bold!"
Bao Zheng suddenly had a gloomy face, and scolded angrily: "Cui Yu, the imperial court allows you to sell wine for profit, this is the grace of the imperial court, how can you be confused?" If the accounts are not clear, the official immediately stopped the Cui family's right to buy! ”
"Don't!" Wang Ningan hurriedly jumped up, "My lord, my uncle is conscientious and conscientious, and there will be no problems!" How could he cut off his way to money? ”
"What if the accounts are not clear?" Bao Zheng asked
"Then let the adults check it, I believe that my uncle will definitely be able to stand the test, and he will definitely not refuse, right, uncle?"
It's you big-headed devil!
Cui Yu really wanted to rush up and tear Wang Ningan's nasty face to pieces, where did a little bastard come out, and he dared to take Lao Tzu's army, you don't want to live!
Cui Yu gritted his teeth, "Lord Bao, my Cui family is also a big family with hundreds of years of inheritance, you insist on searching my home, it's too unkind, right?" Don't forget, I donated a lot of money for adults to build the academy! ”
"Hahaha, Cui Yu, it's okay if you don't mention the affairs of the academy, it's about Shilin Qingyu, and the official can't be ambiguous!" He turned his head, "Listen, search now!" ”
Cui Yu stretched out his hand to stop him, Wang Ningan gave Li Gui and Lou Qing a look, the two big men pounced on him and hugged Cui Yu, the family was just about to come up to solve it, Wang Ningan stopped them, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Uncle, singles don't fight for power, heroes don't suffer immediate losses, you can't arrest and beat poor, the alcohol tax is small, and injuring officials is a rebellion, you can't be confused!" ”
Wang Ningan not only shouted at the top of his voice, but also scolded the Cui family: "You are all blind, do you want to kill my uncle?" Why don't you get out of the way and let the officials check and see what they can find! ”
"Little bunny! Don't talk nonsense! Cui Yu's eyes stood up.
Wang Ningan was not surprised at all, but comforted: "Uncle, I know that you are in a hurry and messed up, what you are saying now is not what you think in your heart, if you want to scold, scold me, don't have a conflict with the official and harm the family!" ”
"I want to kill you!" Cui Yu's eyes were red, and he was going crazy. Wang Ning'an kept saying that he was his nephew, and it was for his sake, which made the Cui family's thugs and family members confused and did not dare to act, and under hesitation, Dong Ping and Xue Ba led the officials to rush in.
Cui Yu was so angry that he almost fainted, these idiots, what are Lao Tzu doing to feed you? He was like a beast, the green tendons on his neck jumped up, and he stared at Wang Ningan viciously.
"Pickled things, you are also worthy of being Cui's nephew, I will kill them!"
"Hahaha, Cui Yu, it's not certain who will die!" Wang Ningan leaned into Cui Yu's ear and said with a sneer.
Suddenly, the errand who rushed into the backyard screamed, Bao Zheng and Wang Ning'an glanced at each other, and hurriedly rushed to the backyard, at this time, from a room, rushed out five or six burly men, their shoulders were broad, their muscles were solid, they wore dogskin hats on their heads, they wore sheepskin robes, each holding a sword, extremely fierce, and in a blink of an eye, they injured five or six officers.
As one of the samurai turned, the hat on his head fell off, revealing the top of his head and a ring of broken hair around him.
"It's Liaogou!"
Bao Zheng screamed out loud, and everyone was startled, the Cui family was hiding the Liao people, and sure enough, they caught a big fish!
