Duan Yunhan said: "What the rune master is most afraid of is encountering thousands of troops, no matter what you summon, it will not be useful. The wisest thing to do is to ride the summon and run. ”

Xiao Xiangxiang said: "We also wanted to run, but we were surrounded by people and had no way to escape, as a result, my internal strength crystal was exhausted, and Senior Brother Liu's physical strength crystal was emptied." The two big men tied us up and locked us up in a firewood room in Liujiabao, and sent two rune masters to watch over us. ”

Duan Yunhan saw that Xiao Xiangxiang's wrist did have traces left after being tied by ropes, and thought that this time the junior sister could be offended.

Xiao Xiangxiang said again: "The next day, they took us to a lobby house in Liujiabao. In the hall sat a man dressed in official clothes and wearing an official hat. Senior Brother Liu glanced at it and said that this person was Master Chen Shangshu. ”

Duan Yunhan asked, "Does this Lord Chen know Senior Brother Liu?" ”

Xiao Xiangxiang said: "Yes." ”

Duan Yunhan said: "That's easy to do!" ”

Xiao Xiangxiang shook her head and said, "That Lord Chen shouted at us, 'Are you Young Master Liu? Senior Brother Liu immediately replied, "Lord Chen, the little nephew is none other than Liu Yulong. After Lord Chen saw Senior Brother Liu, he asked all his entourage to untie us. "Then ask Senior Brother Liu what about your father, what happened to Liujiabao, why are there so many dead people? Senior Brother Liu said, "A few months ago, we were hunted down and killed by the enemy, and I was the only one who survived, and I hope that Lord Chen will make the decision for me. Master Chen asked him, 'Where is your enemy?' Liu Yulong said, "It's from Wan Qi Villa." ’”

Duan Yunhan said: "The government generally doesn't care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes! ”

"yes!" Xiao Xiangxiang said: "Lord Chen said: 'Wan Qi Villa? Ah! This is not easy to do, first, whether to seek revenge or not is a matter for you in the rivers and lakes, and the old man is inconvenient to care. In addition, this Wan Qi Villa is located on the border of the Northern Qi Kingdom, and the old man can't manage it even if he wants to! ’”

Duan Yunhan nodded and said, "What Lord Chen said is also the truth!" ”

Xiao Xiangxiang continued: "Senior Brother Liu asked Lord Chen why he was on official business in Liujiabao, what do you guess Lord Chen said? ”

Duan Yunhan said: "I'm afraid that Lord Chen has already taken Liujiabao for himself!" ”

Xiao Xiangxiang looked at Duan Yunhan with a surprised gaze and said, "You...... How do you know? Could it be that Senior Brother Bai told you? No, I haven't told Senior Brother Bai about the situation in Liujiabao! ”

Duan Yunhan said: "Just look at your expression and know that I guessed right." ”

Xiao Xiangxiang said: "Senior brother is really smart, you can guess this, it is true." It's just that Master Chen didn't say that, he said: 'Liujiabao has not paid taxes to Jiangzhou Government for half a year......

"What tax?" Duan Yunhan asked.

Xiao Xiangxiang explained: "Chen Guo has to pay taxes for all business, and those who buy salt have salt tax, those who buy oil have oil tax, and those who buy wine have oil tax. ”

Duan Yunhan said: "Rune tax, this is really the first time I've heard of it, and I've seen it for a long time. ”

Xiao Xiangxiang said: "Lord Chen said that Liujiabao did not pay taxes, so he brought people to check, and found that Liujiabao was empty, there were many dead people lying in the hall, and all the valuable things were gone. ”

Duan Yunhan said, "Isn't it? What is the difference between what Wan Qian Villa did to Liujiabao and the Jiangyang thieves? ”

Xiao Xiangxiang nodded and said: "Later, Master Chen also said: 'Since Liu Gongzi is back, the old man naturally wants to hand over Liujiabao to you, but he also asks Liu Gongzi to pay the tax money to the Jiangzhou Mansion. I asked how much I had to pay, and Mr. Chen said that I would have to pay two hundred taels in half a year...... and I said that there were not many of the two hundred cars, and I would sell one of the rooms in Liujiabao. ”

Duan Yunhan said: "That's, there are many of them." ”

Xiao Xiangxiang said: "Later, I learned that Master Chen was talking about two hundred taels of gold. ”

Duan Yun sighed: "That's a bit much. ”

Xiao Xiangxiang said: "This person is only the first account, and Lord Chen said to Liu Yulong that in addition to paying taxes first, he also needs to pay the wages for him to bring soldiers to guard Liujiabao. He sent two hundred soldiers, each of whom was counted five taels of silver per month, and the six months were five thousand taels for five months. ”

Duan Yunhan said: "Isn't this robbing people? ”

Xiao Xiang said angrily: "At this time, I found out that he deliberately made things difficult for Senior Brother Liu. Senior Brother Liu didn't expect Master Chen to settle accounts for him as soon as they met, he said, "Where do I have so much money now?" As soon as Master Chen heard that Senior Brother Liu said that he had no money, he immediately turned his face and said: "Boldly Diao Min, you are here to hurt my officers and soldiers of Da Chen, it is obvious that they are spies sent by the Jiangbei Qi Army, take it down for me!" When I heard him say this, I became angry, and I said, "My brothers and sisters of the Blue Dragon Society are all helping Da Chen's army to fight against the enemy in the north, and you have wronged us as spies!" Unexpectedly, this also startled Master Chen, and asked me, "Are you a rune master of the Blue Dragon Society?" ’”

Duan Yunhan said: "Who doesn't know the prestige of our Blue Dragon Society? ”

"That's it!" Xiao Xiangxiang said: "Senior Brother Liu pointed at me and said, 'This is the Xiao Woman of the Blue Dragon Society, she is the one who saved me from the thieves of Wan Qi Villa. That Master Chen immediately changed his words and said, "The disciples of the Blue Dragon Society are all well-known righteous people, and they have helped me to prevent the Southern Dynasty from being annexed by the North several times, since you are a disciple of the Blue Dragon Society, then I believe that you are not spies." But you still have to settle the account of the many officers and soldiers you injured under me, so I will repair a letter to inform your head Xiao. Let him decide! As soon as I heard that he was going to complain to my father, I was also anxious: "I said that they did it first, and I will pay them some medical expenses!" Master Chen said, 'Good! If you can compensate them for some medical expenses, then forget it, and you can calculate how much they should compensate. After a while, the treasurer came and said five thousand taels. ”

"Five thousand taels?" Duan Yunhan exclaimed, "How many people have you injured?" ”

Xiao Xiangxiang said: "There are only three people, one was knocked unconscious and woke up quickly, one was pecked by guinea fowl and injured his wrist, and the last person was scratched on his back, all of which were skin injuries. ”

Duan Yunhan asked, "Then how can you calculate five thousand taels?" ”

Xiao Xiangxiang said: "I also asked him, and the financial officer said that the wrist injury was a school captain, and after being injured, he could no longer go to the battlefield and could only go home due to his injury." His monthly salary was ten taels of silver, and one hundred and twenty taels a year, not counting leap months, and he could serve for thirty years, but now he can no longer serve, so he must be compensated for three thousand six hundred taels of silver. The other two were slightly more lightly wounded, adding up to two thousand four hundred taels, for a total of five thousand taels. ”

"Blackmail!" Duan Yunhan scolded: "They are clearly blackmail!" ”
