Coming out of Kyoto's Terracotta Temple, the sky was already dark, Qin Lei sent Shi to dare to go to Kyoto Mansion to ask for Qin Shouchuang's note, and he took the rest of the guards back to Qinghe Garden, Ruolan was still waiting for dinner. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The procession crossed General Street and went straight to the North City. At this time, it is freezing and it is the most idle time of the year, and people would rather play around the stove at home than walk around the streets, because before the time comes, there are almost no pedestrians on the streets. This deserted scene made the black-clothed guards who had been tired all day rush to Qinghe Garden like tired birds looking forward to returning to their nests.
After a while, the team went up to Qinglong Street in Beicheng. Qin Lei unconsciously looked at a brightly lit red building on the corner of the street, where was the old nest of Shi Meng and Zhuang Die'er - the famous Qinglou 'Manyuan Spring' in the capital.
At a glance, I don't know how much right and wrong.
I saw that at this time, Man Yuanchun, who should have been full of guests and busy traffic, was surrounded by a group of officials, and it seemed that there were still people pushing and shoving.
"Woo ......" Qin Lei grabbed the reins of the horse and shouted in a low voice: "Go and see." A small group of black-clothed guards turned their horses' heads and leaned up, and after a while they came back to report: "It's a soldier of the tax department, it seems that they want to close the door and check the accounts!" ”
"Bullshit!" Qin Lei snorted and sneered: "I want to see who gave Lao Tzu eye medicine." With that, he rode his horse and rushed over.
On weekdays, whether it is a dignitary or a farmer, or for the family, or for the future, or for the livelihood, it is busy all year round. But since Chinese New Year's Eve, people's rhythm has suddenly slowed down, and no matter how noble or low, they all want to spend the New Year comfortably and rest.
But you always have to have some fun all day long, right? You have to vent your energy, right? Therefore, most of the businesses are closed during the New Year, but they must not include the green building. Even the most ordinary kiln, the daily income is three or five times that of a normal day, and the boss is willing to close down? What's more, Man Yuanchun is a large-scale green building.
Zhuang Die'er's business has become bigger, she has already moved out of Manyuanchun, and she commands the overall situation by remote control, and she will only come back when she checks the accounts on the fifteenth day of the new year. Now in charge of the shopkeeper here is a young girl who was her friend back then, a young girl named 'Sai Yuhuan'.
Saiyuhuan Mengzhuang Die'er rescued, transcended the sea of suffering, and turned ashore. Naturally, he is grateful to Dade, and he is conscientious and meticulous in doing things, and he has not left Manyuan Spring half a step after entering the New Year.
But as soon as the door opened this evening, a nursing home came to report: "The master of the tax department is here, and it looks like he is looking for a ballast." ”
Inserting the last golden hairpin into the hairpin, Sai Yuhuan got up and said softly: "Follow me to see." So he took a few turtles to the front hall.
I saw dozens of tax collectors sitting or standing, blocking the huge entrance hall and not letting anyone in. When the guests saw this scene, they turned around and left, and came out to have fun, but there was no need to add to the blockage here.
Seeing this scene, Sai Yuhuan was secretly anxious: "I don't know how long it will take to get together again with this lost popularity." But he still had a pleasing smile on his face, and while greeting him, he said tiredly: "Oops...... Who should I be? It turned out to be Master Gou, why are you so free today to come to our small place? Are you looking for Chunyan or Ziyan? Saying that, he leaned over and giggled: "Or just Yan Shuangfei?" ”
Seeing her affection, Lord Gou couldn't help but tighten his face and said, "Boss Sai, don't be joking, this official is here to accompany our lord over on business." What does this mean, don't you be indiscriminate?
Following his gaze, Saiyu looked around at the fat man sitting at the top of the house, and saw that this person was afraid of more than 300 pounds, with fat and a pig. What's even more disgusting is the small eyes, which unabashedly emit an obscene light.
Suppressing a burst of nausea, Sai Yuhuan pretended to be excited and said, "I said why are there always magpies singing today, it turns out that there are really nobles coming to the door," said Fu Yifu and said: "Dare to ask this official's surname?" ”
The fat boss smiled, scratched his fleshy chin and said, "Boss Sai, it doesn't matter what the official's surname is, you can only do it when you explain things clearly." "Just from the appearance, it can be seen that this master in charge has traveled in the wine pond and meat forest, and naturally knows the truth of tossing and obeying the other party first, and then taking what he wants.
Sai Yuhuan chuckled in his heart, and still smiled on his face: "The adult is really dedicated, and the slave family will explain it for the New Year," he said and pulled the mandarin duck bra in the gauze skirt downward, and a pair of round and white ** were squeezed and ready to come out. The pig-headed master on the opposite side suddenly breathed heavily, and his fat lips squirmed slightly. Seeing that he was so unbearable, Sai Yuhuan almost wanted to be disgusted, and he smiled and said: "It's better to have a table of good wine and food, the slave family will accompany the adults to drink a few cups to warm up, and then slowly explain to you......" and threw a bewildered look, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, adults, let go of the door first, people want to open the door......"
The master in charge had already been burned by her, and after swallowing a few mouthfuls of spit, he was about to smile and nod. But suddenly remembered that this errand was explained by Wen Shangshu, not to mention that she was Sai Yuhuan, even if the real Yang Yuhuan stood in front of her, she couldn't agree. Twisting his fat thighs hard, the pain made him a little sober, and he laughed and said, "Okay, this official will lead the boss of the race." He said to Na Gou again: "You continue to guard here, don't let anyone in, and the official will go in and listen to the boss of the race to explain the problem." ”
After speaking, he got up with a lewd smile, stretched out his fat hand like a bear's paw, and wanted to pull Sai Yuhuan's waist, Sai Yuhuan dodged with a smile, and giggled: "You don't let you open the door, and the slave family won't let you touch it." ”
The principal laughed and said, "Little beauty, you don't know yet, right?" This official likes to use it the most. He waved his hand and said, "Catch her for me." A few tax collectors were eager to get some oil and water, and when they heard the words, they pounced like wolves and tigers to catch Sai Yuhuan.
"Stop!" A thunderclap-like shout sounded, which frightened several tax collectors and their bodies were stagnant. In the blink of an eye, several men in black rushed up, protected the boss behind him, and looked at this group of shameless officials angrily.
These people are the nursing homes that have been sent to each store, and they are the strength carefully cultivated by the garrison, loyal and brave, ready to protect important people, and this is purely a friendly cameo during a special period.
The main person was angry and his face was full of fat and trembled, and he said angrily: "It's the opposite, you dare to obstruct the law enforcement of the imperial court, come to the people, take them all!" More of the tax collectors took out the chains of the iron rulers from their waists, and rushed forward with a shout, to lock them up.
Annoyed by their filthy behavior, several guards left no room for action, and with a great show of strength, they knocked a dry shrimp and crab to the ground.
The pig-headed principal stared at a pair of small eyes, and couldn't believe it at all, someone dared to beat the official, and he was stunned for a while before he screamed: "You have eaten the gall of the ambitious leopard!" Said to the dog's principal: "Lao Gou, go and call someone over, Lao Tzu won't believe it, and you don't expect us to take care of our one-third of an acre?" ”
The old dog hurriedly ran out to move the troops, and the pig-headed chief withdrew from the courtyard for the time being under the cover of a cadre of men.
Sai Yuhuan, who was a little frightened, glanced at the leader of the guards with a complicated expression, and said with gratitude and slight disgust: "Thank you, big brother, for the rescue, but we have caused trouble to Boss Shi." ”
The guard grinned and said, "When we came, our lordship said that if someone makes trouble, they should only be beaten, and they will be responsible for beating him." "For this kind of guy with a muscular brain, what else can Sai Yuhuan say? Hurry up and let someone inform Zhuang Die'er, and the rest can only wait and see what happens.
When Qin Lei arrived at Qinglong Street, the brigade of the Taxation Department had just arrived at the gate of Manyuanchun.
Seeing that hundreds of subordinates came, the head of the pig suddenly became bold, and sneered: "Arrest them, Lao Tzu will put them in a position like eighteen!" The tax collector with a knife and gun on the 10th was about to rush to the door, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
"Stop!" The black-clothed guards in the charge shouted in unison, like a flat thunder, making everyone's hearts tremble. When he was looking for prestige, he saw a group of black knights in black clothes and black armor, like messengers of hell, coming in the dark night, and immediately shocked the audience, and no one dared to act rashly, including the pig-headed principal.
In the blink of an eye, the black-clothed guards rushed to the door, and the tax collectors saw that these knights were all carrying crossbows, and the bowstrings were already tightened, and they were about to fire.
"What are you going to do?" Shen Qi proudly looked down at the chaotic tax collector and asked coldly.
Although these tax collectors were as lowly as dust and mud, they had also heard of the famous black-clothed guards, and when they saw these evil evils that were black from head to toe, from men to horses, they immediately thought of the prince who was rumored to be a god, where did he dare to move?
The pig-headed master didn't expect the other party's reinforcements to come so quickly, and hid in the crowd and trembled, "We are from the tax department, and we received a report that Man Yuanchun evaded tax money and set up a private branch. ”
"Check? So many troops are still needed to inspect it? I think you're going to raid your house!" Shen Qi snorted coldly.
The pig-headed chief poked out half of the pig's head, and said with a soft smile: "They refused to cooperate, beat the tax officer, and the lower official had no choice but to do it." He knows a little bit about the shady behind it, so even if there is grass in his heart, he has to grit his teeth and hold on.
The so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, compared to the prestige of the king of Longwei County, or the right of the prime minister to punish the Manchu officials, he is even more afraid.
Shen Qi is not a sharp-toothed person, and he was intuition that he said a few words by this fat man, and he couldn't think of anything to fight back for a while.
Just when he was a little embarrassed, Daozuo burst into a charming laugh: "I said that this lord in charge really ate lard and blinded his heart, and he didn't look at whose business it was." Following the sound, I saw a young woman in an emerald dress and a cloak of red tassels, escorted by several black-clothed guards, walking out of the night.
Seeing the woman appear, Shen Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if he was forced to let the prince go out in person, his sin would be great. Fortunately, the boss of the village came.
"Who are you?" The pig's head is in charge, but he doesn't recognize Zhuang Die'er.
"The slave's surname is Zhuang, and the husband's surname is Shi, you can call me Mrs. Shi." Zhuang Die'er has a noble appearance and a light voice.
"What a big breath!" The pig-headed principal blinked his small eyes, seeing that there were more and more people on the other side, and knew that it was impossible to take advantage, hehe sneered: "Presumably you are the boss of Man Yuanchun, you came just in time, take the account book to the tax department tomorrow, and don't open the door until you find out." After saying that, he withdrew with a group of men.
From beginning to end, Qin Lei didn't show up, he just watched everything happen quietly in the dark, he knew that this matter was by no means isolated, if he had to come forward to solve it himself this time, then when trouble broke out in the future, even if he was exhausted, he would not be able to plug all the holes.
"Lord Wang." Zhuang Die'er's voice called him back from his thoughts.
"Hmm," Qin Lei nodded at her and said softly, "It seems that someone is going to do something with us." ”
Zhuang Die'er covered her mouth and chuckled: "As long as the prince is here, our shrimp soldiers and crabs will be under the big tree to enjoy the shade, don't worry." ”
Qin Lei smiled angrily: "You also saw it today, they don't plan to provoke the Lone King too much, do they have to settle this kind of harassment alone?" ”
Zhuang Die'er got serious at this time, and said softly: "Soldier to soldier, general to general, of course those minions are dealt with by us minions." ”
Qin Lei laughed and said, "You are a general, not a minion!" Zhuang Die'er was secretly happy when she heard this, and said to Qin Lei slightly: "No matter what it is, you have to share the worries and solve problems for the prince." ”
Qin Lei nodded, touched his horse's mane, and said with a smile: "The reason why the other party dares to be arrogant is nothing more than relying on the forces behind them and their official status. You don't need to worry too much, if someone comes, they will go out, and it's a big deal that the Lone King and their court officials will go to court. ”
Zhuang Die'er pursed her lips and chuckled: "The prince looks at the overall situation, but he doesn't know much about us flies. He glanced at Qin Lei with some hesitation, and whispered, "Although those people are hateful, they can't be beaten." ”
Qin Lei frowned slightly and said, "Be careful." ”
Zhuang Die'er looked up at Qin Lei and said: "This is open to do business, there must be sellers and buyers, let's take this Manyuan Spring as an example, we have to buy thin horses from the market, and buy wine and vegetables from the vegetable market, as for rouge gouache and charcoal firewood, which are used daily, they also need to be bought from others." And without the patronage of the guests, we can't go on. ”
This woman's mouth is quite powerful, and she is still in front of Qin Lei, like fried beans: "Our family is tough, although we are not afraid of the retaliation of these villains, but those buyers and sellers dare not provoke these corrupt officials, and the county officials are better to take care of it now, Lord Wang." Saying that, he realized that he was a little flamboyant, and said again: "The concubine is vain, and the prince forgives the sin." ”
Qin Lei smiled bitterly and said, "You have been left alone with the positive and the negative, what else can Lone say?" Waving his hand to prevent Zhuang Die'er from opening his mouth to apologize, he said softly: "You're right, the Lone King is really ill-considered, what good ideas do you have?" ”
Seeing that the prince was looking at him with hope, Zhuang Die'er shook her head embarrassedly and said: "The concubine has long hair and short knowledge, how can she have a good idea." ”
Qin Lei laughed and said, "It's so happy, but it makes Gu Bai happy." ”
Zhuang Die'er chuckled: "Although there is no good idea, the concubine knows that this matter is fighting in the temple and chaos in the market. ”
Qin Lei smiled and said, "Yes, it's rare for you to have such knowledge." In this way, you go back first, and then think about it carefully, and you will be notified when you have eyebrows. ”
Zhuang Die'er Fu Yifu said: "Yes, the concubine sends the prince." ”
Nodding at her, Qin Lei smiled strangely: "Let the one from your family go out to see the family nursing home, don't let him grow fat at home," After speaking, he turned his horse's head and disappeared on the long street with the black-clothed guard.
Looking at Qin Lei's departing back, Zhuang Die'er's eyes were full of worry, she and her husband's net worth and life were all on this young man, if he fell, he would definitely crush the couple to pieces.
"Sister, what should we do?" Seeing that the black riders had disappeared, Sai Yuhuan leaned over and asked softly.
Zhuang Die'er turned her head, her face had returned to her former calmness, and she said calmly: "Open as usual, after this battle, they don't dare to come again." ”
