Today is only the first day of the official office, but the officials of the tax department have been busy with the work of the Prime Minister's Office for several days, and they all look tired and very tired.
If it had been before, they would never have been so defeated. The tax inspection is a first-class fat poor, which time the other party is not good to speak respectfully, good wine and good food are waiting, and there are a lot of red envelopes to take, which is really comfortable.
But this time, they kicked the iron plate, and none of the dozens of stores they asked them to inspect bought their accounts, let alone red envelopes for wine and food, even if they had a good face. In addition, Lord Dusi instructed them to check the accounts in a proper manner this time and try to cause as little trouble as possible, which made them even more bored. There was a desire to disobey the order and toss the people in the shop, but everyone had a strong nursing home, and after being beaten several times, the officials had to settle down completely.
After a few days of such hardship, the officials of the tax department began to complain again and again, they are all people who are used to being an uncle, how can they stand this grievance. After returning to the temple in the afternoon, a few good officials went to Fanzi Hutong to eat flowers and wine for recreation.
When I arrived at the kiln I frequented, I found a private room I liked, ordered a sumptuous banquet, and called a few familiar sisters to accompany me, and a few fat tax officials began to eat nonsense.
But he saw a tax collector with a rat's beard, holding an oily duck leg, and biting it heavily, and the powder head on the side brought a wine cup to his mouth from time to time, and asked him to sip one. Mouse Beard ate and drank while shouting: "This is the life of a human being." ”
The eating faces of a few tax officials on the side are not visible. Hearing this, he nodded his head and said, "That's it, since our debut, how have we suffered that crime." "He's got the ball, what's the way those guys come from, why are they so tough? I don't take our guys seriously at all. ”
Speaking of this, everyone's eyes turned to the pig-headed person who was sitting at the head of the head. "My lord, give us a thorough explanation, the brothers are really troubled, so they can just find the Green Wolf Gang to stew them in a pot." The so-called Green Wolf Gang is a gang in Zhongdu.
The pig-headed principal was still laughing at Mimi, but when he heard this, he immediately lost his smile, and his small eyes glared: "Give Lao Tzu a little restraint, the water is deep here." If you're going to be in a hurry, make sure the whole family goes in with you...... Not bubbling yet. "As the head of the matter, he knows more than anyone else.
Seeing the fat on his cheeks trembling, everyone knew that what he said was not a lie, and couldn't help but be even more interested, the mouse beard put down the duck leg in his hand, wiped his hands on the powder head who was serving him, got up and poured a glass of wine for the pig's head and said, "My lord, is the opponent really so powerful?" The others also looked at the principal with nervous expressions.
Seeing that everyone was asking for help from him, the pig-headed master was a little proud, and said with a trembling cheek: "It's even more powerful than you think!" As he spoke, he stretched out his little finger like a radish, squinted his eyes and said, "Let's add a piece, and it's this in front of others!" ”
"Ah......" Everyone gasped in unison, and someone said in panic: "Then what are we going to mix in?" Get out of the way. ”
"Dodge?" The pig-headed man looked at the man with disdain, and sneered: "You don't want to think about the lack of heart and eyes, but someone openly gave him some eye medicine, what does this mean?" ”
The tax collector was stunned by him, and said with an 'oh' voice: "It shows that the person who wants to fix him is as lacking in heart and eyes as me." This immediately drew laughter.
The principal laughed and scolded: "I'm sorry, shameless thing." As he spoke, he poked the pig's head forward, and everyone hurriedly leaned their heads over, and even a few fans were stunned with curiosity, wanting to hear what kind of person it was.
After everyone was in a good position, the chief lowered his voice and said: "This person behind us is not afraid of that person," he said and arched his hand to the east: "People are Taishan Beidou-like characters, much stronger than that person, we have to listen to the words, and we will do it, and we will not suffer losses." When he said this, he himself was not sure in his heart, it was normal for dignitaries to be ungrateful.
Everyone gasped again, but when asked about the specific identity of the big man, the pig-headed principal resolutely did not spit out half a word, which made everyone panic. couldn't help but have no interest in talking, and after eating wine for a while, he got up to say goodbye, and went upstairs with his own fans to seek joy.
The pig-headed master staggered to his feet, but felt some fluttering under his feet, and put one of the girls in his arms in one hand, and carried them as crutches, and went into the room. The two hard-working girls seemed to have a big bear on their backs, and in a short time they lost their faces and sweated, and they put him into the suite with a bang, and threw him on the bed with a bang.
The two sisters just wanted to straighten up and rub their waists, but as soon as the main pig's hand stretched out, they took them in their arms and laughed lewdly: "The master wants to fight with you for three hundred rounds, and he will not accept it until dawn...... That soldier! ”
Hearing that his ambitions were so ambitious, the two sisters exclaimed as if they were in response to the situation: "People are so scared......"
"Huhaha, I'm coming......"
The cheeks trembled, and the fat chief drew his sword and raised his eyebrows and roared: "Two little sluts, take it." ”
The sister who was attacked by him also said excitedly: "Don't pity me because I am a delicate flower......
A sister on the side who was waiting for a shift saw the disbelief on the face of the sister next to her, and couldn't help but whisper, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's over......" The sister who was pressed under her struggled to push away the pig's head who was already asleep, sat up and rubbed her shoulder, and said with an expression like a fly: "Disappointment, I have to go and wash." Another sister also got up and said, "My sister has been wronged, I'll go and rub it for you." The two sisters walked out of the room together, ignoring the thunderous snoring.
When they came back from the bath, they wanted to pretend to sleep with the fat pig, but found that the big bed was empty. The two sisters searched the room and didn't find the pig's head, so they couldn't help but smile at each other, and one covered their mouths and said, "It seems that I have no face to see people, and I slipped away through the emptiness." The other also smiled coquettishly: "I'm afraid that Fang Cai is also pretending to be asleep." And they left him alone, and went to bed.
Early the next morning, the satisfied tax collectors went downstairs one after another, gathered together again for dinner, and waited left and right, but they did not see the principal come down. The rat-bearded ghost laughed: "It seems that two fists are invincible to four hands, and the battle situation last night was tragic." Everyone knew that the pig-headed man flew double last night, and when he heard the words, he immediately laughed and bragged about the battle situation last night.
After waiting for a while, but it was time to return to the yamen, everyone had to send a turtle to call, and when the turtle boy replied, he knew that the adult had left last night. Everyone was a little puzzled, but when they saw that the time was not early, they had to go back to the government first.
Fanzi Hutong is not far from Qianbi Street, where the tax department is located, and after a while, everyone arrived at the corner of the street, and saw many people around the yamen pointing and pointing, as if something had happened. The tax collectors hurriedly ran over, and along the way, they vaguely heard words such as 'dead man', 'really miserable', and 'really fat', which made everyone even more anxious. Three steps and two steps over, separated from the crowd of onlookers to look in, the tax collectors couldn't help but be frightened, only to see ...... A rope hangs from the plaque at the entrance of the Department of Taxation.
Of course, there is nothing to be afraid of a rope, but what is terrible is that there is a large net hanging from the other end of the rope, and in the net bag is a huge bloody lump of flesh, which seems to be a person. Because if you look closely, you can see the hands and feet, but you can't find where the head is anyway. Looking at the bruise and purple color of the corpse strangled by the net, it seems that it has been hanging for a long time.
Although the head was not found, the tax collectors still recognized at a glance that the mass was the chief who had returned home last night. The people in the temple had already recognized it, but the net was hung high and looked so terrifying that no one dared to put it down.
After a long time, the Kyoto Prefecture Catcher arrived belatedly and removed the corpse hanging in the net pocket to be transported. The officials of the tax department quit and grabbed one of the catchers and asked, "Why don't you interrogate or investigate?" Are our people dying in vain? ”
The catcher slapped away the hand that was holding his arm, and said expressionlessly: "Your main case has already been opened, why do you have to ask again." ”
At this time, the official of the tax department was even more puzzled: "How do you know that we are in charge?" ”
"This morning, we have to report that there is a dead person in Nancheng Alley, and when we go to take a look, there is a person's head there, and I can't find my body." As he spoke, he glanced at the fat corpse, and pouted: "With this body shape, it must be a perfect fit." With that, he left with the team.
A group of tax collectors returned to the hall in despair, and sat there in a daze. Fools also know that it is revenge killing, otherwise why use such effort...... It must be very difficult to transport a body that still weighs 2560 pounds after it has been removed and then hang it up.
So who is the revenge for the killing? The tax collectors didn't understand it at first, until someone asked, "Shall we still check the accounts?" Everyone sighed in unison, looked at each other and said, "They can't do it, right?" ”
Since then, no matter how much the Lord of the Department of Taxation urges, the officials of the Tax Department have refused to go out again, even if they break their legs, and the matter of auditing the accounts will naturally be over.
Although the audit was over, the relief of the scholars persevered.
Just as the Kyoto Prefecture was transporting the headless body, Tu Gongchun and the others also took a cart full of japonica rice to the largest refugee settlement in Beicheng.
As soon as they saw that it was them, the refugees gathered around them and greeted them with a lot of words. Tu Gongchun laughed and said: "Folks, we are back again, today is three carts of rice, each family can get three or five catties, everyone line up to get it." After a cheer, the refugees lined up obediently as he commanded.
Tu Gongchun's work is too rough, if he is allowed to divide the rice, it will be a big waste, and he is kicked out by Fang Zhongshu to maintain order, but the refugees are grateful to these selfless scholars, they are very obedient, but they don't need him to bother.
After watching from the side for a while, and seeing that there was really nothing wrong with him, Tu Gongchun walked to the base of the wall, where there were some patients who collapsed on the ground. These people all froze their legs and feet in the ice and snow, and were carried into the middle capital by their families.
Tu Gongchun has read "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" and "Qianjin Fang", and he is also half a doctor, and every time he comes, he will check, diagnose and treat these people, and he is still somewhat sure of some frostbite injuries. But many more people have necrotic frostbite and cannot be treated at all, so they can only wait for their bodies to recover and then have their things removed.
After the dozens of injured patients are busy and wash their hands, it will not be early. An old man came over with a white porcelain bowl and said respectfully: "Master Tu, let's drink saliva." ”
Tu Gongchun thanked him, took the porcelain bowl in the old man's hand, tasted it first, and found that it was not cold or hot, so he smiled at the old man, and asked while drinking: "There is still a month to start spring, uncle, should you also go back to farming?" ”
When the old man heard his question, his face turned gloomy, he shook his head with difficulty, and said astringently: "I'm afraid we won't be able to go back in this life." ”
Tu Gongchun said strangely: "Seeing that your body is still quite strong, you will be able to recover in two days, and even if you can't compare to the young man, it won't be much worse." Why can't you go back? ”
The old man smiled bitterly: "I can't pay taxes when I go back, so it's better to carry work for people in Zhongdu, and live one day at a time." ”
When Tu Gongchun heard this, he asked with concern: "But there is no land at home?" In his cognition, having land is equal to having income, and not having land is equal to ...... There is no income, so he thinks that this old man has lost his land.
The old man shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There are still three acres of thin fields, and there should be more at home." ”
Tu Gongchun was suddenly unhappy, and sent the porcelain bowl into the old man's arms, and said angrily: "If you are all like you who have land and no land and no home, where will the taxes of the imperial court come from?" How can we raise the army of Great Qin? I'm really blind, helping you silverfish. After saying that, he was going to leave in a hurry.
The old man was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and said in his heart: 'It's bad, I've provoked a good person.' Quickly puff and kneel down for him, and kowtow with a bang. Seeing the old man like this, Tu Gongchun couldn't just leave, and stood there angrily, but he didn't want to deal with the old man anymore.
Fang Zhongshu and the others had already finished putting the food, and they were sitting on the side talking and laughing, and they all came over when they saw this, Fang Zhongshu went to pick up the old man and asked him, "What's wrong?" How did you make the old man kneel there. ”
Seeing that the old man was helped up, Tu Gongchun snorted, but did not stop him. At this time, the refugees also gathered around, wanting to see how the old man provoked Master Tu.
Looking at this group of refugees who were gradually recovering, Tu Gongchun felt the need to educate them, so he climbed on a rock and stood still, and asked loudly, "Are your bodies and bones better?" ”
Although everyone didn't know the purpose of Master Tu's question, they all nodded honestly and said, "It's much better." ”
Tu Gongchun continued to say expressionlessly: "When we are well, we have to think of ways to support our families, we can only help the urgent, and we have no ability to help the poor." "Fang Zhongshu listened to it, and said with a wry smile in his heart: 'Old Tu Te is also straightforward, although this is reasonable, but it sounds blunt and hurts feelings.'
Fortunately, the refugees were grateful to the scholars, and no one cared about the tone of his speech, but said one after another: "What Master Tu said is that we originally planned to go out to find work in the next two days, so you and you don't have to worry about it anymore." The scholars said in their hearts, Lao Tu has nothing to say now, right?
Who knew that Tu Gongchun's face was even more ugly, and he only heard him say roughly: "Didn't you think about going home?" Spring is still more than a month away, what about your family's land? ”
The refugees were silent for a while, and then someone shouted: "I can't afford to pay this tax when I go back, so instead of letting the government arrest and kill him, it is better to live a day in the middle capital." This answer was exactly the same as that of the old man, and looking at the many people around him, many people nodded, and it was obvious that there were not a few people who held this view.
Fang Zhongshu and the others finally understood why Tu Gongchun was angry, and said in his heart: "I'd rather have a home than go back, have a field instead of planting, and evade taxes, these people are really bad enough." I can't help but secretly despise these refugees. If it weren't for Lao Tu speaking, they would have scolded him too.
Tu Gongchun trembled with anger, but thinking about educating these ignorant people, he gritted his teeth and forced them down, pointed at those who didn't nod and said, "Fortunately, there are still some people to go back." ”
