Seeing that their superiors were beaten, the people in the tax office were stunned at first, thinking that the courage of these brocade guards was really fat, and then they reacted, and they didn't know who shouted, but as a result, the people in the tax office immediately rushed up, ready to avenge their bosses.

Although Tang Bohu, who was hugged in front by Jinyiwei, tried his best to stop the brawl between the two sides, it was a pity that no one in Jinyiwei or the tax office was willing to listen to him, so his words not only did not play any role, but also attracted several tax office personnel to beat him, fortunately, Ma Liang was on the side to protect him, which saved Tang Bohu from being beaten.

Tang Bohu only brought more than 20 brocade guards this time, plus the original officials of the city, there were only about 30 people, but there were 50 or 60 people on the tax office, if it was changed to normal circumstances, Tang Bohu's side would definitely suffer. However, Ma Liang's brocade guards are not ordinary people, all of them are good at fighting, it is no exaggeration to say that one of them has no problem fighting two or three, so the brawl between the two sides just began, and the people on the side of the tax office were almost pressed and beaten by Ma Liang, and soon many people groaned and fell to the ground, either their heads were broken or their arms were broken, and they were extremely miserable.

It is estimated that there is a pillar of incense, and the people on the side of the tax office have been completely collapsed, and everyone has either fallen to the ground or fled, on the other hand, the people on Ma Liang's side are neatly staffed, although many people are also injured, and even some of the injuries are not light, but at least they can stand up with the support of others.

"Phew!" I saw Ma Liang personally throw a person in front of Tang Bohu, this person was Counselor Cheng, and he saw that the situation was not good. Just as he was about to escape. Unexpectedly, Ma Liang had already seen that he was the head here. So before Counselor Cheng moved, he was grabbed by Ma Liang and punched a few times, and then carried it and threw it in front of Tang Bohu.

"You...... You guys...... Alas~" Tang Bohu looked at the messy scene in front of him, and was speechless for a long time, he has always been a scholar, and he pays attention to the gentleman's mouth and not his hands, but he didn't expect that the first thing he did after taking office was forcibly used by his subordinates to complete it.

"You...... Who are you? Aren't the people who beat our tax office afraid that the governor will blame them? Counselor Cheng was punched a few times by Ma Liang in the stomach, which made him throb in pain, and then he finally relieved himself and asked weakly.

"Phew! Don't keep talking about your governor as if everyone is afraid of him, tell you that we are the subordinates of Lord Zhou, the commander of the four seas, and there is a kind of crime that will let the governor behind you come to ask the military master! Before Tang Bohu could speak, a brocade guard behind Ma Liang shouted. How arrogant and arrogant that demeanor is.

Counselor Cheng was also shocked when he heard that these Jinyi guards were actually the subordinates of Zhou Zhong, the commander of the four seas who had taken over Dinghaiwei before. Although he is just a petty official who is not in the stream, he has also heard that Zhou Zhong is powerful, and he removed a commander as soon as he came to Dinghaiwei, not to mention him, this kind of courage and power is not to mention him, even the governor may not be able to provoke him. Therefore, the name Zhou Zhong alone has already poured the anger in Counselor Cheng's heart, and at the same time, he began to worry a little about his future.

"Counselor Cheng, under is Tang Yin, the deputy of the Municipal Department of Shipping, this time on the order of the Admiral, I came to take over the tax office, but your people were too arrogant before, and they didn't even let us enter the door, which caused a conflict, I hope Counselor Cheng will not blame it!" At this time, Tang Bohu finally had the opportunity to tell his intentions, and by the way, he introduced his identity. And it is worth mentioning that in order to complete this mission, he also made a lot of preparations before coming, and he is no stranger to this Cheng Counselor.

"The city's division? Sub-lift? Aren't you from Admiral Zhou, how did you become a member of the City Boss Division again? Counselor Cheng had already roughly figured out the intentions of the other party's people, but when he heard Tang Yin's self-introduction, he couldn't figure it out, why did the city boss who only had an empty shelf also get together with Zhou Chong?

I saw Tang Bohu coming over with a smile at this time, and personally helped Counselor Cheng up and said: "Counselor Cheng doesn't know, this time, the Admiral has been assigned to the rule of the Admiral Yamen by His Majesty's holy decree, and the tax of Ningbo Port will still be collected by our Municipal Shipping Division in the future. ”

"Handover? No way! The tax office has always been managed by our governor's yamen, and before receiving the governor's order, Cheng will definitely not hand over the tax office! "Although Counselor Cheng is afraid of Zhou Chong's power, as a counselor, he manages the entire tax office in place of the governor's yamen, so unless the governor's yamen orders him to hand over the money, it is useless for anyone to force him.

"Deputy Tang Tiju, don't talk so much nonsense with him, he won't take the initiative to hand over the tax office to us, the only way is for us to occupy this place directly, and in the future, the people from the governor's yamen will come and we will fight once and until they dare not come!" Ma Liang is not just a martial artist, he is also clear about things in the officialdom, and he has long guessed that he will definitely use tough means to win the tax office, so he will condone his subordinates to beat people just now.

If he were to be replaced by another deputy promoter Li Lian, I am afraid that he would agree with Ma Liang's words very much, and he would not talk so much nonsense with Counselor Cheng, but would have let people throw him out of the gang a long time ago. It's a pity that Tang Bohu is a junior brother in the officialdom, and he doesn't understand the reason at all, so he didn't listen to Ma Liang's words at all, and still persuaded Counselor Cheng: "Counselor Cheng, our city division is under the order of the Admiral, and the Admiral is under the holy decree of His Majesty today, if you don't hand over the tax office, then you will not obey the decree, and then I am afraid that even the governor will ......."

Tang Bohu's words were not finished, but he saw Counselor Cheng and said helplessly: "Lord Tang, don't talk nonsense about the fox and fake tiger, Cheng is not a three-year-old child in the officialdom, and he will not forget his identity because of your words!" ”

In fact, Counselor Cheng also saw at this time that the deputy Tang in front of him was probably a newcomer to officialdom, and he didn't even understand such a simple truth, as a person from the governor's yamen, it was impossible for him to hand over the tax office anyway, otherwise even if the governor didn't blame him in the future, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to mix in the officialdom, after all, no one wants to deal with a person who eats inside and out.

Although Tang Bohu is in his thirties, he used to read books in addition to painting, although he did not know anything about human accidents, his knowledge was limited, and he did not put himself in Counselor Cheng's shoes to consider the problem, so he saw Counselor Cheng's repeated refusals, and did not understand the key, but still persevered and wanted to persuade again.

However, at this time, Ma Liang was already impatient, if he hadn't known that Tang Bohu was a person valued by Lord Admiral, I am afraid that he would have kicked the other party aside and dealt with it himself. Seeing that Ma Liang didn't wait for Tang Bohu to speak at this time, he walked over and grabbed Counselor Cheng's collar, strode to the door of the tax office and threw it away, and the other Jinyi guards did the same, and threw the people who were lying on the ground and kept moaning out of the door.

Tang Bohu saw that Ma Liang and the others were so rude, and he wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it again, these brocade guards are used to being big, and now although they are transferred to the city department, they don't take themselves very seriously, so what he said is in vain, and looking at the way he looked just now, I'm afraid that Counselor Cheng really won't take the initiative to hand over the tax office, maybe it is the only way to rob it.

After Ma Liang and the others threw all the original personnel in the tax office out of the city, Tang Bohu immediately took over the two warehouses with people, and at the same time sent all the small officials of the city department to the port to take over the people of the original tax office to collect taxes. As for the specifications of tax collection, they are the same as the original, after all, they have just taken over the tax office, and it is not appropriate to change too much for the time being.

Compared with Tang Bohu's side, Li Lian led another team of people to take over the tax office on the south bank of the Yongjiang River more smoothly, and Li Lian's style is completely different from Tang Bohu, he took people to the tax office, and immediately showed his identity and commanded the Jinyi guard to start beating people, but he was particular about beating people, only hitting the counselor and a few stewards of the tax office, and he did not move those working officials, but directly took over those working officials after beating people, and told them that the tax office is now under the jurisdiction of the Admiral. If they want to eat, they just do it.

Obviously, Li Lian's handling of the tax office is more mature and satisfactory, after all, he took over the tax office almost completely, and only rushed to the counselor and a few stewards, which has the advantage of maintaining the stability of taxation and is conducive to the complete takeover of the city department in the future.

In contrast, Tang Bohu's handling method was too jerky, and the miscalculation in advance made him not tough enough at the beginning, and failed to shock the people of the tax office in terms of momentum, which also directly led to the later brawl, and as a result, the people of the tax office fled and escaped from the injury, and in the end, he could only send his own limited manpower to make the tax office run with difficulty, and if he wanted to fully restore the previous situation, I am afraid that he would have to wait until the city department recruited full personnel.

After receiving the news that the two assistants had taken over the tax office, Yang Tong immediately ran to the port in person, Li Lian didn't have to worry about him at all, so he could only help Tang Bohu wipe his buttocks, fortunately, he knew that the Admiral of the Dao Dynasty valued Tang Bohu very much, so he didn't dare to lose his temper, but also patiently pointed out Tang Bohu, which made Tang Bohu ashamed at the same time, but also very grateful to Yang Tong.

The news that the tax office was taken over by Zhou Zhong soon spread to the governor's yamen, and the result immediately set off an uproar in the officialdom of Zhejiang. (To be continued......)
