Cao Wencai was having a headache about the land annexation of Xinhua County at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seven-eight out of ten of the land in Xinhua County has fallen into the hands of the family, with yeoman farmers owning less than two-three out of ten, and this trend has been expanding at a visible rate in recent years.

In order to ensure the smooth completion of certain government projects and the fact that the taxes to be escorted to the capital were not too small, the forced labor imposed on the yeoman peasants became heavier and heavier, and all kinds of inexplicable taxes were also increasing.

Cao Wen knew that if this continued, more and more yeoman farmers would be forced by the government to convert into tenant farmers, and eventually the government would have no taxes to collect, and the country would be finished.

At this time, a servant suddenly walked in outside the house and reported softly: "My lord, someone claims to be General Lang from Beijing, who was ordered by the emperor to protect the envoy of Tuhun and returned to Tuhun, and came to visit your lord through Xinhua County. ”

As he spoke, he handed a post in his hand to Cao Wencai.

Cao Wencai frowned, picked up the post and flipped through it, and finally said after a while: "Please let them in." ”

He was very strange in his heart, as far as he knew, although he would pass through Xinhua County from the capital to Tuhun, he would not pass through the county at all, and the so-called "Guide Lang General Li Linpu" written on this post had never known him at all, and this so-called visit could be said to be for no reason.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Linpu was from the five grades and five senses, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to it at all.

After a while, the official took Li Linpu into the hall of the county guard where Cao Wencai was.

Li Linpu bent down and saluted Cao Wencai: "The last general will meet Master Cao." ”

Although the martial arts of the National Dynasty are cheap and cheap, Li Linpu's grade is three grades lower than Cao Wencai, and he is a requester, so he naturally has to salute obediently.

Cao Wencai said lightly: "The general is exempt from courtesy, I don't know what the general has to do when he comes to find this official?" ”

He raised his official stand slightly, the bloody aura on the body of this military general made Cao Wencai very disgusted, and he secretly scolded in his heart, a reckless man who did not know the number of etiquette.

Poor Li Linpu was so anxious, how could he have time to see him after bathing and purifying?

He naturally sensed Cao Wencai's coldness, although he didn't know how he offended the other party, but he still stubbornly said: "My lord, the last general and the Tuhun envoy were robbed and killed by bandits on the road, and there were even grandmaster masters involved, although there were also grandmaster strong people here to defeat the enemy, but the last general was worried about the safety of the Tuhun envoys, so he came to the county town hoping to take refuge in the military camp for a while, and at the same time asked your majesty to play this matter, please ask your majesty to send more troops and horses." ”

Cao Wencai scolded in his heart, this bastard actually brought him such a big trouble.

Grandmaster master, how many families in the world can send grandmaster masters to assassinate?

If that force can dispatch a Grandmaster Master, it is not impossible for it to dispatch a second place.

If he wants to protect this earthy envoy, he must come up with a grandmaster to be the safest.

Although there are no grandmasters in his county, it is impossible to forcibly order others to protect the Tuhun envoy, which will offend people to death. Even if he asks others to sell him face with courtesy, how much favor should he bear? Is it so easy to repay the debt of favors?

Although there are bows and crossbows in the barracks, even the grandmaster has to be afraid of murder weapons, but if the grandmaster is determined to find trouble with the Tuhun envoys, even if he stays in the barracks, it is not 100% safe!

Infiltrating the barracks is not too easy for a master Grandmaster.

His heart was really bitter, he didn't know about it, but now that he knew, he had to search the dry intestines and do his best to ensure the safety of the Tuhun envoy.

Cao Wencai was born in the Cao clan of Xiangshan, so he naturally knew that His Majesty Li Shimin attached great importance to this Tuhun envoy.

If there is a case for this earthy envoy, won't he Cao someone have a great deal to do with it?

His Majesty is worried that he can't find a suitable excuse to attack these families, and it is impossible for him to send this handle to Li Shimin.

For a while, Cao Wencai's head was as big as his head, and his gaze at Li Linpu became more and more unkind.

In the end, Cao Wencai let out a long sigh and said, "Master Li, Tianda has a big problem for this official!" ”

Li Linpu was a little embarrassed, and said: "If you are really desperate, you will be a magistrate... The lower officials will not ask for help from you, my lord, but..."The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, and gradually he couldn't continue.

This practice of forcibly dragging Cao Wencai into the water is indeed very unauthentic.

At this point, Cao Wencai couldn't shirk it, and he didn't want to say another word to Li Linpu, he took out a piece of paper from the table, took out a pen and wrote it a few times, handed it to Li Linpu and said: "Give this to General Ma in the barracks, the handwriting of other people's own officials, you go down." ”

Li Linpu took the piece of paper, carefully put it away, and thanked him again and again: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

Cao Wencai waved his hand impatiently and motioned for him to step back.

Li Linpu didn't dare to say more, and respectfully retreated.

After Li Linpu left, Cao Wencai couldn't help sighing, in order to ensure that the Tuhun envoy did not have an accident in the county town, he had to invite the master master to enter the barracks, but the master master was born in the first family of Xinhua County, and this time he went, he had to heed heavily, and he didn't know how much benefit he had to give up. Thinking of this, he hated to greet Li Linpu's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Li Linpu withdrew from the county guard mansion and walked slowly on the way to the barracks, although the purpose had been achieved, there was no joy on his face. After turning to Cao Wencai, the county guard, this time, although his life is no longer worry-free, but he is afraid that his career will no longer be hopeless.

As one of the six great families in the world, how could their children be so easy to offend? Although he is not from a common people's background, his family power is too far behind the Cao family.

The family can't protect him, and they don't dare to protect him.

Thinking of this, his heart was very heavy.

However, after a quarter of an hour's journey, he walked for half an hour before he reached the barracks, and in the distance, Zheng He saw Li Linpu's figure and greeted him.

"My lord, have you seen the county guard?" Zheng He asked.

Li Linpu nodded, didn't have the heart to talk to him more, walked to the young sergeant stationed outside the barracks, handed him the piece of paper in his hand, and said: "Little brother, this official is the leader of these people, and the court belongs to General Delang, this is what the county guard handed over to your general, please send it to your general." ”

The soldiers guarding the camp had already negotiated with Zheng He and others, and knew the origin of Li Linpu and others, so they did not dare to slack off when they heard this, and quickly went to the barracks to report.

Soon the soldier walked out with a man dressed as a general, and after some negotiations, Li Linpu and the others finally lived in the barracks.

An hour later, Ouyang Montian, the grandmaster of the county town, entered the barracks.

At this point, Lu Tianpu's safety is finally guaranteed.

And Yang Shen lost the opportunity to kill Lu Tianpu.

The marriage between Prince Tuhun and Li Qiuyu seems to be no longer able to change.
