Chapter 5: Killing

In the back hall of the county ya, Zheng Jimin, the county honor, was leaning on the recliner while drinking morning tea while enjoying the concubine's massage.

A servant ran in in a panic and reported: "Lord County, it's not good, something is wrong!" ”

"And there are no rules! Panicked early in the morning, what a system! With the county lord, what big things can happen to Ninghai's one-third of an acre! ”

Zheng Jimin didn't raise his eyelids, and the master standing behind him scolded loudly with a straight face.

Master Li is also the No. 1 person in Ninghai County, and his kung fu has long been perfected.

While scolding the officials, he slapped the county's ass silently.

Zheng Jimin patted the hand of the concubine Bai Nen, and the latter sensibly withdrew from the room.

"What's going on?"

After the concubine withdrew, Zheng Jimin casually put the teacup on the table and asked.

"Back to the county, the guys from Taifeng Qianzhuang came to report that the Hou Ye took someone to Qianzhuang to bring out the 100,000 taels of tax and silver handed over to the imperial court."

The official who was reprimanded learned to be obedient, bowed down and clasped his fists and saluted before starting to report.

"Master Hou? Did the little cub who didn't know whether he was alive or dead eat the gall of a leopard, and he even dared to fight the idea of tax silver!! ”

Zheng Jimin's face changed, and he scolded disdainfully, and the coldness in his eyes was not concealed.

The county is only the seventh rank of official residence, and it is the lowest official position in the Qin State. Ninghai County is a fief allocated out, and the county is personally appointed by King Qin, Zheng Jimin is not just a seven-grade, but a six-grade!

Even if he is a sixth-grade official, the Marquis of Zhenguo is a real first-grade marquis, and the gap between the two is not an exaggeration to describe the difference between the two.

is such a sesame petty official who should have knelt and looked up at Hou Ye, but dared to disdain and even insult Du Sheng.

If this is spread out, Zheng Jimin doesn't even know how he died.

But looking at Zheng Jimin's expression, how can he put Du Sheng, the marquis, in his eyes!

"Prepare the horses! Take the official and go to Taifeng Qianzhuang quickly. ”

Zheng Jimin stood up with a gloomy face, changed into his official uniform, and rushed towards Taifeng Qianzhuang with dozens of fast arresters.

During this period, the shopkeeper of Taifeng Money Village had already withdrawn the silver from the treasury, just as Du Sheng counted the amount in front of Du Sheng.

"Master Hou, 128,000 taels of silver are here, please check."

After the silver was counted, Wu Fatzi respectfully stepped aside and said.

The silver of the white flowers was packed in five large boxes and stacked neatly together.

"No need, the character of the shopkeeper Wu Benhou still believes it. Eight fingers, go and call someone to transport the silver back to the Hou Mansion. ”

"Yes, Master Hou!"

Sun Bazhi said yes and walked out quickly.

When the silver arrived, Du Sheng's mood suddenly became better, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

With this large sum of silver, he has a little more confidence in his heart.

Every step of his plan costs a lot of money.

Fat Wu's back was wet with sweat, and he prayed in his heart that the county would come over quickly.

This silver was originally deposited by the Hou Mansion, and he couldn't stop it, and he didn't dare to stop Du Sheng.

"Huh?"

Du Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the door with cold eyes.

Sun Bazhi, who had just walked to the door, retreated step by step, and a large wave of people suddenly poured in in front of him.

Walking at the forefront is the county leader Zheng Jimin, who is wearing an official uniform and a black gauze hat.

Behind Zheng Jimin, he followed Master Li and dozens of fast catchers. The three major catchers in Ninghai County stood behind Master Li, each of them clenched the handle of the knife in their hands, and stared at Sun Bazhi and Wang Lao Liu, who retreated to Du Sheng's side, with fear.

"Master Hou!"

Wang Lao Liuhe's eight fingers' faces changed at the same time, and they were coldly protecting Du Sheng's sides.

"Xiaguan has seen the little marquis!"

Zheng Jimin smiled indifferently, bowed slightly and arched his hand towards Du Sheng.

"Zheng Xianzun, is there something wrong?"

Du Sheng glanced at Wu Fatzi with a smile, and asked with a wolfskin horsewhip.

"I heard that Master Hou wants to withdraw the 100,000 taels of tax silver deposited in Taifeng Money?"

Zheng Jimin didn't even save his politeness, pointed to the five big boxes of silver neatly placed on the side, and asked with burning eyes.

"That's right." Du Sheng nodded.

"Does Master Hou know that this is a tax to be paid to the imperial court?" Zheng Jimin arched his hand in the direction of Qin Jing, and his tone was aggravated.

"The tax silver will not be handed over to the imperial court until after the spring of the next year, and before that, this silver is not tax silver, but the silver of the Marquis Mansion of my town!"

Du Sheng pointed to the silver on the ground in an indifferent tone.

Zheng Jimin's face changed, he glanced at Du Sheng deeply, and suddenly found that the little marquis of "Tiger Father and Dog" had changed a little different.

As Du Sheng said, the ownership of the silver did belong to the Hou Mansion before it was handed over.

"That being said, it's ......"

"I will hand over the silver to the court in the spring of next year, so I don't need Zheng Xianzun to worry about it."

Du Sheng's right hand holding the horsewhip was raised, and Zheng Jimin was brutally interrupted.

"Please forgive the little marquis, this is the imperial court tax silver, and the lower officials dare not take out the signature for you!"

Zheng Jimin's heart sank, and he said aloud without giving in.

Although the silver belongs to the Hou Mansion, it can be deposited in Taifeng Qian Zhuang and the Hou Mansion and the county Zun jointly signed and sealed, and the same is true for the silver.

Strictly speaking, without Zheng Jimin's signature, Du Sheng would not be able to take away the silver.

"Zheng Xianzun doesn't have to be embarrassed, Ben Hou will deal with it."

"Eight fingers, go and call someone to move the silver!"

The smile on Du Sheng's face did not decrease, and he turned his head to the eight fingers next to him and commanded.

"Yes!"

Sun Leng agreed and walked straight to the door.

The entire gate was blocked by the people brought by Zheng Jimin, and no one made way for him.

Master Li, who has always been good at speculating on his intentions, even moved two steps sideways and took the initiative to block Sun Leng.

On the way here, Zheng Jimin repeatedly explained that he couldn't let Du Sheng take the silver away no matter what!

"Get out of here!"

Sun Leng pressed the handle of the knife and shouted coldly.

"Master Hou, why don't you postpone the matter of withdrawing money for a few days, and let me report to the court?"

Zheng Jimin smiled coldly with disdain in his heart, and played a round without being salty or light.

Since Du Huaiyu's death, a series of major events have happened in the Hou Mansion immediately afterward. One of Du Sheng's two sisters was kicked out by her husband's family with a letter of resignation, and the other was also divorced. The little marquis in front of him was seriously injured a few days ago.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion is coming to an end.

"I don't know what is alive or dead, and at this time I still dare to fight the idea of tax money. I'm afraid I won't be able to spend it in my hand! ”

Zheng Jimin looked at Du Sheng with the eyes of a dead man, how could he still have the slightest sense of awe for the Marquis of Yipin.

"Smack!"

A crisp whip suddenly sounded, and Zheng Jimin, who was still sneering in his heart a second ago, covered his white cheeks in pain, and stared at the boss with a pair of eyes.

He never dreamed that the little marquis in front of him, who was about to die and had no place to be buried, would dare to wave a horsewhip at him.

"Shhh

Wu Fatzi, who was standing on the side, saw the bloody whip marks on Zheng Jimin's face that extended from his head to his chin, and his scalp was numb and he gasped.

Du Sheng whipped down without warning, and the skin and flesh on Zheng Jimin's face were cracked.

"What kind of thing are you, you dare to point fingers in front of Ben Hou!"

"Smack!"

Du Sheng smiled coldly with disdain, raised his hand and whipped it over again, breaking the skin of the other half of Zheng Jimin's face.

"Do you really think that my father is dead, and this Ninghai County will not be surnamed Du! As long as the Marquis of my town is not dead, Ninghai will not be able to call the command from a small county lord! ”

Du Sheng raised his chin proudly, as if he had just smoked a wild dog on the side of the road, not the Liupin County Venerable appointed by King Qin!

"You! The Marquis Mansion of Zhenguo is reversed! It's the other way around! Come on, take down the anti-thief to this official! ”

Zheng Jimin's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and stared at Du Sheng.

Du Sheng's two whips in public had completely driven him crazy.

A Hou Ye who has been blacklisted by King Qin, he no longer has the slightest concern!

can be handpicked by King Qin and sent to Ninghai County to be the county honor, Zheng Jimin's identity is not as simple as it seems.

His own sister is the favorite concubine of the Situ family, one of the three wealthy families of the Qin State. Zheng Jimin's brother-in-law has a high status in the Situ family, and he is already in the third rank of official residence before he is thirty, and he is one of the ten masterpieces of the Qin State.

With this relationship, under the recommendation of the Situ family, he was able to go to Ninghai County to take charge of the party.

Now that Du Huaiyu is dead, Ning Hai has become an ownerless piece of fat. The Situ family has long been greedy.

With the support of the Situ family behind him, Zheng Jimin can be said to be full of confidence!

Dozens of fast arresters heard his order, and for a while, you look at me, I look at you, and Du Sheng's eyes were filled with awe.

Du Sheng is the marquis of Yipin Town, no one dares to do it for a while, according to the provisions of the law of Great Qin, the following crimes are the crime of killing the head!

What's more, Du Sheng is now the emperor of Ninghai County, and no one dares to provoke him head-on.

"What are you doing in a daze, Mo Feier and others dare to shield the traitorous thief and not give me CD!"

Zheng Jimin saw that his subordinates didn't dare to make a move on Du Sheng, so he screamed viciously and gave a vague look at the three henchmen.

"Yes, harboring the anti-thieves is to punish the Nine Clans!"

A head catcher pulled out his saber with a stab and took the lead in surrounding Du Sheng and the others.

"If you don't want to die, do it to Lao Tzu, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for not recognizing people with the knife in his hand!" Another thin black catcher swept over everyone's faces with a cold look and shouted murderously.

Although they didn't dare to do it because of Du Sheng's identity, they had to listen to the words of their boss, and they naturally knew how ruthless this county lord was.

In desperation, these catchers had to bite the bullet and slowly pull out the matching knife, gritting their teeth and surrounding Du Sheng and them.

"Dare to draw a knife at Hou Ye, I don't think you want to live!"

Surrounded by dozens of people in the middle, Wang Laoliu smiled coldly without fear, and held the saber and Sun Bazhi in front of Du Sheng with his left hand and Sun Bazhi.

"Zheng Jimin, do you know what you're doing? Do you really think that just by relying on these dozens of quick arrest officials, you can turn over the sky of Ninghai? ”

Du Sheng spent a lot of time playing with the bloody horsewhip, looked at Zheng Jimin with a smile and asked.

"Take it! If you resist, you will be killed! ”

Zheng Jimin stared at each other and shouted murderously again!

"Master Hou, I'm offended!"

The three catchers under Zheng Jimin confessed to Du Sheng with solemn faces, and the two catchers pounced on them with knives at the same time.

"Look for death!"

Wang Lao Liu shouted violently, took a step forward and raised his knife to meet him.

"Master Hou, you stand back!"

Sun Bazhi blocked Du Sheng, and with a flash of the knife in his hand, he slashed a catcher who rushed up to the ground.

"Zheng Jimin really dared to do it in the city, it seems that their preparations are more adequate than I imagined."

Du Sheng calmly looked at the crowd in a group, and suddenly a sense of foreboding rose.

He came to Taifeng Qianzhuang to withdraw the silver, in addition to really wanting to withdraw the silver, he also wanted to use it to test the attitude of Zheng Jimin and those forces in the city.

To his surprise, the other party had reached the tipping point of eliminating him.
