When Xiao Yu arrived in the Bohai Sea, twenty days had passed since the burning of the tea ship, the wharf was relatively calm, there were still many merchant ships coming and going, and the patrol was more strict, there were small boats guarding far away, entering the port to anchor, and there were also people who came to check.

Even if Xiaoyu and the others carried the official documents of the imperial court, they still went through three detailed inspections and passed the interrogation before they successfully set foot on the land of the Bohai Sea.

This time it was Tong Guan who came with Xiao Yu, this guy is tall and very burly, and after training in the army, he has developed a good martial arts.

His eyes are very sharp, and he is constantly patrolling, and he can't hide any abnormal movements.

Tong Guan could clearly feel the tension in the air.

"Shall we go see Di Shuai?" He made comments.

Xiao Yu shook his head, "If you want to investigate the cause of the case, you have to really go deep into the people and see what you can see from Di Shuai!" Let's go find an inn to stay in. ”

Tong Guan was very worried about Xiaoyu's safety, but he couldn't object, so he could only follow the trend and protect his safety.

After walking for a while, the street was full of hurried people, and many shops were half-closed, and I didn't know whether to close or open. It took a lot of effort to find an inn.

Xiao Yu stepped in and went straight to the counter.

"Shopkeeper, we want two rooms!"

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, he looked up, casually gave out two forms, stuffed them to Xiao Yan, and said indifferently: "Fill it in." ”

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, live in a store, can you use it so troublesomely?" He glanced at the items on the form, there were no less than dozens, even if he went to the yamen to complain, it was not as cumbersome.

The shopkeeper looked at him and sighed, "This young master, you may have just arrived, right?" It's a little troublesome now, and you can save things in the future, these days, you can catch a lot! ”

"Huh? Arrest? ”

Xiao Yu suddenly became curious and wanted to ask, but suddenly the curtain was raised, and a few more people came in, and the shopkeeper was so frightened that he quickly closed his mouth and quickly greeted him.

The leader was a young man with a hat out, no matter how he looked like a ruffian, he glanced at it, saw the two Xiaoyi, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, business is good!" What does this month mean...... Don't forget! ”

The shopkeeper nodded again and again, "Please rest assured, even if you forget my surname, you can't forget you!" ”

"What is this called! We are like the kings of the mountain! The guy spat dissatisfiedly, and was just about to leave, when he turned around again and stared at Xiao Bi.

I didn't pay attention to it just now, but this kid is not badly dressed!

Especially with jade on his waist, it is mutton fat jade, a good thing!

Looking at the clothes again, the best cotton cloth is no worse than silk...... This guy's eyes lit up, but I didn't expect that a fat sheep would come to the door!

He walked over quickly, and the shopkeeper saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly said: "That little young master, if you think our inn is not good, leave quickly, don't delay your work here, our temple is small, and we can't keep the big immortal......"

His words were obviously a little bit of a little bit, let him go, so as not to be unlucky.

But that guy didn't give Xiao Yu a chance to leave at all, and stopped in front of him a few steps, squinting his eyes, looking up and down, and making a tsk sound while watching.

"Ouch, this son, you are really dressed well, not to mention the jade pendant, just the pocket watch will cost more than a few hundred yuan!"

Xiao Yu smiled calmly, "I don't know how much it was given by a friend!" ”

"Don't know? Okay, I'll do the math for you! He took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to grab it, Tong Guan immediately stood up, stretched out his hand, and stopped him.

"Friend, it's the first time our young master has gone out of the house, don't scare him!"

The man looked up at Tong Guan, who was not very old, but his body was strong, not like a good stubble...... He laughed dryly, rubbed his hands together and said, "I don't want to scare people either, but the order of the imperial court is to strictly investigate tax evasion." Your young master's clothes and clothes are worth at least 1,000 yuan, and if they are sold, they can earn thousands of ......."

"We're not peddlers, and we don't look down on this money!" Tong Guan scolded angrily.

The person on the other side smiled, "I can't say for sure, who knows if you will sell it secretly...... I couldn't find it back then. Do you know His Royal Highness King Yan? He said that there are only two things in this world that cannot run away, one is death, and the other is paying taxes...... Well, let's pay the tax first! ”

Tong Guan was furious, but Xiao Yu in the back smiled, "You should pay taxes, you make a price, how much should we pay?" ”

"How much?" He looked at it again and again, and said with a smile: "How about paying 300 yuan first?" ”

"Done!"

Xiao Yu did not hesitate, took out three bank coupons that could be redeemed at sight, and stuffed them to the other party.

This kid took it and looked at it for a long time, a pair of eyes kept rolling, obviously, he regretted it a little, this kid gave it so happily, it seems that the price is low!

But the words are out again, and it's hard to take them back.

In this way, go ahead first, go back and tell Lao Xu, let him come over again, how can such a fat sheep not cut a few pieces of meat more! Thinking of this, he smiled, "Little master, you guys have fun, I'll take my leave!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and took a few helpers and quickly left.

They walked for a while before the inn calmed down.

The shopkeeper looked at their distant backs, glared at them viciously, and then sighed at Xiao Yan: "Young man, I don't understand, if you give them money, they won't let you go." These grandchildren are all cannibals and don't spit out bones, listen to me, let's go! ”

Xiao Yu smiled faintly, "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, I gave them money, they won't come again, prepare two rooms for me, I want to rest." ”

The shopkeeper couldn't persuade him, so he could only arrange a room for him, and when he paid the money, Xiao Yu knew that the original more table also had to pay taxes and stamp duty, not much, and two percent of the cost of staying in the hotel!

When he arrived at the room, Xiao Yu's smile disappeared instantly, the second young master of the dignified palace, he also had a temper.

"These things are just disgusting!" He gritted his teeth and said: "You go and tell me, arrest that grandson for me, hand it over to Di Xianggong, and let him go to the barracks to feed the horses!" ”

"Yes!"

Tong Guan immediately went down.

Only Xiao Yu was left alone, he was silent for a long time, although he had just set foot on the land of the Bohai Sea, but what he saw and heard was shocking enough.

Lao Wen has introduced a lot of ways to accumulate wealth, and has come up with a lot of taxes.

When he was in the Great Song Dynasty, he felt very scary, but when he really saw it, he was even more surprised, for example, the stamp duty was only 3% at most, and when he arrived in the Bohai Sea, it was as much as 20 percent...... It's not all that high, but it's terrifying!

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, Lao Wen is a greedy person, and the people he uses are even more so, and even worse, doing everything.

Xiao Yu thought for a while, his body was tired, he was ready to rest, and then he went to take a closer look and see if there was anything more fatal...... After sleeping until the evening, Xiao Yu got up, saw that there was prepared water, washed his face, and came down from the room.

At this time, it is dinner, the inn is also a restaurant, and the meat patties made are famous far and wide, and many people will come here for dinner.

I want two cakes, a pot of tea, and I am very comfortable to listen to any new news while eating...... It's just that there are more and more tax collectors sent by the imperial court, and fewer and fewer people come. Even if you are hungry for meatloaf, you will buy it at home and never stay long.

But today is different, I haven't been on the rise for a long time, but I'm here.

The big guys are talking about each other.

"I heard that no, that tax Liu Papi is finished?"

"Really?"

"Not really...... He's hit a hard stubble! ”

Some people don't believe it, "He was sent by the imperial court, who else dares to touch him?" ”

"Don't say that, this time it was Di Shuai who ordered it...... Although Di Shuai is old, his prestige is there, and the court has to sell Di Shuai's face. ”

"It turned out to be Di Shuai...... His old man is kind-hearted, hey, you say, why did Di Shuai just arrest Liu Papi and not arrest the others? If all these people are killed, the world will be quiet! ”

"Who said it wasn't, I see, Di Shuai is also afraid."

……

The gang talked a lot, Xiao Yu found a side seat and sat down, the shopkeeper's eye thief, after he swept it, he didn't say a word, brought a plate of meat patties, and gave it to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu happened to be hungry and immediately took a big gulp.

"It tastes good!" He stretched out his thumb, and the shopkeeper was thoughtful, he suddenly leaned over and said in a low voice: "Little young master, in the morning, the one who collected your taxes was arrested, does the little young master know?" ”

The shopkeeper's efforts to observe his words and looks, he was not sure if Xiao Yu did it, but his behavior was extraordinary, and he was unlucky after collecting his taxes, so he couldn't help but suspect it......

Xiao Yu paused for a moment, revealing a big smile, "Really? It seems that the court is still wise, good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil! ”

The shopkeeper wanted to find out what flaws, but Xiao Yu just laughed, and he couldn't figure it out.

can only say: "I hope that the court can treat people well!" ”

As soon as the shopkeeper turned around, another person came outside.

His most obvious feature is one eye!

When he came in, many people stood up.

"It turned out to be Zhou Guanren!"

"Zhou Langjun is here!"

…… Half of the inn stood up to say hello.

The visitor snorted and sat down, and the shopkeeper hurriedly made a pot of tea and sent it to the visitor. While pouring tea, he smiled, "Why are the big officials unhappy?" Who dares to mess with you in this Suzhou? ”

The visitor rolled his eyelids, looked at the shopkeeper, and sneered, "What kind of thing am I, just take out one and make you lose your temper, believe it or not?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, "I believe it, but Zhou Daguan, you have no temper, how can we live!" ”

Zhou Daguan shook his head helplessly, "To tell the truth, I don't know, you big guy commenting on the theory, my son is just over 4 years old, I asked my mother-in-law to buy him a few books for the hair, but on the way I met the tax inspector, stunned that the book did not pay stamp duty, a mouth will be fined 100 yuan, you say, is there such an unreasonable?" ”

He was extremely angry, pointed to his eyes, and angrily reprimanded: "I have fought for the imperial court, why does the imperial court treat us people like this? He slapped the table in anger......
