Chapter Seventy-Six: Scraping the Sky

As the weather gets colder, winter is about to start in the blink of an eye. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This is simply a catastrophe for the people who have no rations.

When the weather is good, the people can also go to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables, and take a game to barely satisfy their stomachs, but this day is cold, not to mention wild vegetables, and even those prey are too lazy to come out to move.

Watching the people of Yishui County walk on the street hungry every day to seek a livelihood, Li Jin didn't feel good in his heart. But he can't help it, to put it bluntly, he is just a small county order, and he has more than enough power to punish these unscrupulous profiteers.

A few days ago, he found out that the country only levies agricultural taxes, but no commercial taxes, so he wrote to the local Taishou to propose an additional commercial tax.

Far from passing, this proposal was severely criticized and reprimanded by the returned paperwork. made the image of Taishou Zhao Shuhe in Li Jin's mind a little more hateful.

Although Zhao Shuhe did not approve Li Jin's proposal, Li Jin did not give up the idea of reacting upward.

Since you, the Taishou, will not accept it, then I will tell the emperor directly, anyway, the emperor Lao'er gave me a secret order, and I have the right to report it directly.

Of course, if a small county order to the emperor wants to be successfully handed over to the emperor, the channel for submitting the memo is very important. Relying on Yang Xiao to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard by the emperor's side, Li Jin wanted to say something to the emperor, it was really easy.

Although the fold was handed over, it was not a problem that could be solved in a short period of time.

There is no way, at present, it is impossible to solve the problem of food shortage through the right way, so you can only go through the evil path of the outer door.

Li Jin and Su Yiyang combined, and for the sake of silver, Chen Chuchu was pushed out of the front desk.

The beloved wife of the county magistrate celebrated her birthday, and the big families in the city received the red invitation sticker, so they naturally brought various gifts to congratulate them.

Women, who doesn't love jewelry? There are also expensive antique calligraphy and paintings, and some shrewd people know that this is the county order and are thinking of a way to scrape money, so they simply send the silver directly.

There was no big banquet in the county office, and only a cup of fragrant tea was placed on the table for each person.

The county magistrate had a bitter face, thanked him first, and then vomited bitterness, poor, so poor, so poor that he couldn't even afford to eat meat.

The white rice porridge is boiling in the backyard, and it will be ready soon, and everyone has brought gifts to congratulate you, I'm really sorry, I can't let everyone go hungry, so I have to drink a bowl of gruel first.

Khan, these old men eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, human milk and egg flowers, white rice gruel, for them it is pig food, one by one to find excuses to slip away, fortunately, the county magistrate is not enthusiastic to force them to eat, otherwise it will be miserable.

Li Jin accepted all the gifts very unceremoniously, accepted them with the front hand, and let people take them out and sell them with the back hand and exchange them for silver.

Those jewelry shops were opened by the big Haokun, and the shopkeeper recognized at a glance that these Dongdong were the jewelry that the master had just given out, and in the blink of an eye, there were people from the county government who sold them for cash, and they all shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

The prefectural magistrate is really good at scraping money!

Since then, in the upper class of Zhanshui County, Li County Ling has another nickname - scraping the sky.

This time back and forth, Li Jin did make a lot of money, and then all the public funds were charged, and Su Yiyang and Chen Chuchu arranged to exchange it for food distribution.

Although it temporarily solves the problem of feeding the people, it is not a long-term solution. Moreover, the money scavenged in the name of Chen Chuchu's birthday is indeed not small for Li Jin personally, but it is insignificant to distribute it to the people in the entire county, and it is estimated that the food each person gets will not last long.

Li Jin's three wives watched him depressed all day, and were ready to take him out for a walk.

Today happens to be a traditional festival here in Yishui County, every year after the autumn harvest, the local people will finally be idle after the end of the farming, take advantage of the joy of the harvest, hold a lantern festival. It is said that there are many people who meet and fall in love at the lantern festival every year.

Li Jin dragged Chen Chuchu and Green Yi to the street to see the lanterns, Su Yuyang and Liu Shiqing also came to join in the fun, Yu Ban naturally followed, with a few masters to follow the guards, and secretly followed a lot of masters, at least more than ten people.

The streets are crowded with people, and all kinds of gorgeous lanterns illuminate the entire county like a day. It is estimated that this traditional lantern festival may be prepared for young men and women in the county to go on a blind date, when the farm is busy, the strong guys in the family are pulled to work, and there is no chance to meet the girl, and now take advantage of this meeting to find a sweetheart.

The three women and Liu Shiqing watched with great interest and shouted lively, but Li Jin felt that his legs were numb, and he was about to find a place to rest, when there was a sudden commotion in front of him, as if someone was fighting.

When I got closer, I saw that there were two groups of people fighting, one was from the local gentry family, and the other was looking at the costume, which should be barbarians.

Linzhou is located in the southernmost part of the territory of Dayan Kingdom, and Yishui County is the southernmost part of Linzhou. The territory of the barbarians is in the south of Dayan Kingdom, so Yishui County can reach the barbarian territory by riding a horse south for a day and a half, so when encountering any major festivals or gatherings, the barbarians will also come out to go shopping.

The Fang family raised no domestic slave thugs, among whom were not masters of the rivers and lakes, but they were beaten by three strong barbarians who looked exactly the same.

This barbarian triplets are giants who stand on their fists and run horses on their arms, and just looking at the big fists of the bowl is enough to scare the faint of heart.

Next to her, a beautiful girl who was watching the excitement clapped her little hands, giggling and laughing, and seemed to feel very funny about fighting.

Behind the girl stood an old man in a green robe, his hands wrapped in his big sleeves, looking unfathomable.

There was also a handsome young man standing beside the girl, his expression was free and easy, his cold and intimidating eyes flashed firmly, cold, stubborn, with indescribable arrogance, and an antique sheathed long sword was stuck upside down in his back, which felt like he stood out from the crowd.

Li Jin didn't seem to see how the fight went, his eyes were firmly attracted by the beautiful girl.

The long eyelashes, the big smart eyes shimmered with wisdom, and the two dimples embedded in the jade cheeks carried a sweet smile, and revealed a little naughtiness. The body is plump, and the complexion is not very white, but it is full of youthful vitality, giving people a deep impression of purity and liveliness.

Punctual little beauty!

Shen Yi is gentle, Liu Mengyin is virtuous, Chen Chuchu is quiet, green clothes are cold, Bauhinia is considerate, this little girl has a wild nature.

The young man beside Xiao Niu'er felt Li Jinwolf's gaze and turned his head to glare at him fiercely.

Not to be outdone, Li Jin glared back at each other, and the eyes of the two people made contact, colliding with a spark.

The eyes of the two exchanged views silently, Li Jin didn't know how many catties and taels the other party had, it seemed that he should be a ruthless character, he knew how many catties and taels he had, in Chen Chuchu's words, at most he was a second-rate master.

I don't have a bottom in my heart, but how can I show weakness at this time, for the sake of beauty, fight! With so many masters around, I'm afraid of chicken feathers!

The green clothes next to Li Jin seemed to feel the fierce momentum of the young man, and stared at each other with cold eyes.

Not only her, but Chen Chuchu, Yu Ban and several masters around them all felt it, and their hostile eyes stared at the young man vigilantly.

The young man's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, what is the origin of this kid, there are so many masters around him?

Li Jin's target is a little girl, so naturally he won't bother with this sword-eyebrow man, seeing him frowning, showing weakness, he didn't pay attention to him anymore.

The triplets were ruthless characters, beating the Fang family's thugs to the ground, and the patrolling catcher rushed to hear the sound, and stopped shouting, and a quick catcher rushed forward with a knife.

With a sound of the horn, the hard iron knife struck a giant man's arm, and the giant man did not frown, and with a wave of his arm, he staggered back and fell into the arms of his companion.

It's time for Lao Tzu to appear!

Li Jin shouted, "Stop!" ”

When everyone saw that it was him, they saluted, "Master Li." ”

The eldest prince of the Fang family, who was cowering behind the crowd just now, was bold, squeezed out of the crowd, pointed at the triplets and said loudly, "Li County Order, these southern barbarians are making trouble and beating people, take them down quickly." ”

Damn, are you the official or Lao Tzu the official?

Li Jin glared at him, "Did someone else's girl tease you?" ”

This guy is a big pervert, often flirting with beautiful girls, after Li Jin came, the vigorous and resolute rectification made him reined in, today's Yuanxiao Festival to enjoy the lanterns, seeing such a beauty, it must be an old problem again.

But this time, he ran into a wild rose with thorns, and his men were beaten up in a hurry.

"Wow ......"

The Qingli girl couldn't help but be silent, laughed out loud, and glanced at Li Jin with big smart eyes.

The crowd of onlookers also burst into laughter, and no one in the city knew the habits of Grand Prince Fang, so no one sympathized with him.

"I ......"

Master Fang's old face was swollen and red, and he said, "Then my family ......"

Most of his family members are still lying on the ground and snorting, all of them have green skin and swollen faces, their mouths and noses are crooked, they were beaten not lightly, and it is estimated that there are still a few broken bones, and it is not bad that they have not been beaten to death.

Su Yuyang said lazily: "Master Fang, you are wrong first, Lord Li is not embarrassed for you because of Ling Zun's face, otherwiseβ€”β€”"

He dragged out his tone, and the following words were not spoken, and those present understood.

Grand Prince Fang ran away with his house slave.

Li Jin smiled and said: "The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and people have been taught, the girl doesn't have to mind, they are all guests from afar, girl, please enjoy it." ”

With an amiable smile on his face, he turned his head and walked away.

"Hey."

A girl's sweet voice came from behind him.

Li Jin smiled, laughing happily.

"What does the girl have to teach you?"

Li Jin stopped and turned around, with a harmless and friendly smile on his face.

"You are the Li Qingtian that people praise?"

Qingli girl tilted her head to look at him, with a curious look on her face, a lively and active person, who is generally easy to be curious about anything.

"This ...... This ......"

Li Jin showed a very embarrassed expression, and said, "Uh, this...... It's all the people crying out......"

I didn't admit it, but my words and expressions were actually saying that I was Li Daqingtian.

"Wow, so young? Can I go to your house tomorrow to see if you are a clean official? ”

The Qingli girl blinked her big smart eyes, and her gaze shifted to Chen Chuchu, Green Yi and Bauhinia.

There are very few beauties in this remote place, but I didn't expect three to come at once, and their appearance and temperament are definitely at the level of the city and the country.

Whether I am a clean official or not is your business. Despite thinking so in his heart, Li Jin nodded and agreed.

"Xianggong, let's go."

Chen Chuchu's skirt swayed, urging delicately.

The foot was stepped on, and the wife was jealous.

Li Jin smiled and nodded at the Qingli girl, "Girl, please feel free to have fun and say goodbye." ”

He pretended to be chic and turned away, quite a bit of the elegant demeanor of a son of a family.

When he turned around, he glanced at the forbidden envoy, and the latter understood, and instructed the master behind him to secretly stare at the girl's foothold.

After such a trouble, Chen Chuchu and the others lost all their interest in watching the lanterns, and as soon as they returned to the room, they asked the teacher to ask for the crime.

"Are you trying to hit her again?"

"Uh, what's the ...... It's just a few more looks......"

Chen Chuchu snorted, "As soon as you move your ass, I know you want to fart!" ”

No way? So powerful? Is it a roundworm in my stomach?

Li Jin laughed a few times to cover up.

Chen Chuchu snorted coldly: "If you dare to hit her idea, I will ......"

Her middle index finger is constantly clasped together, reminiscent of scissors.

Li Jin cried with a sad face, "You won't come to really, right?" ”

"Don't believe you'll try it?"

Chen Chuchu's eyebrows were upside down, and she gritted her teeth, making people dare not believe that she really dared to click with scissors.

"Woo woo woo ......"

That means self-evident, our father-in-law is very shameless and scoundrel, what shameless thing can't be done? Can the little girl escape from the palm of his hand? Don't worry about him, let's worry about ourselves.

Alas......

Green Yi and Bauhinia glanced at Li Jin and let out a heavy sigh.

Li Jin hugged the pillow and shook it again and again, "Three kissing ladies, you misunderstood, there is a purpose for your husband to provoke that barbarian little girl today, isn't our gem mine not selling very well, I saw that the little girl's headdress was inlaid with a lot of gems, and I guessed that their barbarian tribe definitely needed gems, so we can take this opportunity to open up sales." ”

"Then it's useless for you to find a little girl from the barbarians, it's full of nonsense here."

"Judging by the level of the guards around him, it is definitely not an ordinary little girl. Lady, you often teach me to be a man who walks the talk, and now you don't want me to break my word, right? ”

These words were originally used by Chen Chuchu to teach him, to be a man who is upright and upright, but now he has taken it back to the general.

The two daughters were angry.

Xianggong's character, they know it too well, in order to achieve the goal, they will do whatever it takes, and they like to use that kind of shameful indiscriminate means.

For example, when he encounters an opponent, even if the enemy's martial arts are weaker than him, the difference is 108,000 miles, and he can subdue the enemy with one finger, but he will never fight the enemy face to face, and he will definitely choose to sneak attack.

In his words, this is called safety first, and the enemy must not be given a chance.

Khan, it's shameless, very shameless. It's not nice to say, Xianggong is a shameless villain.

It seems that he is not saved......

Chen Chuchu and Green Yi glanced at each other, and they both let out a heavy sigh of helplessness.

Li Jin felt Chen Chuchu's helplessness and looseness from the sigh, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and he made a joke again and again, "If you don't take it as an example, if you don't take it as an example, your husband will definitely serve the three kisses and ladies well." ”

He settled on the green clothes, so he didn't care about her at all, but he was a little afraid of Chen Chuchu.

"Disgusting!"

"Fleshy!"

The last pillow flew in, Li Jin reached out to catch it, put the two pillows on the chair, and walked out obediently holding one pillow.

The third daughter is still angry, tonight's bed, I will definitely not be able to get on it, I will honestly go to sleep outside, and I should sacrifice one night for the sake of the little beauty of the barbarians.

"Where are you going?"

Li Jin accompanied the smiling face, "The three kissing mothers, who are willing to be punished for their husbands, have thought about it outside the wall, hehe......"

"Who said you went?"

Chen Chuchu rolled his eyes and glared at him fiercely.

"Ah......h

Li Jin was confused for a long time before he came to his senses, and he was so happy that he almost wanted to yell a few times to vent his inner ecstasy.

"Three good kisses, here for the husband!"

He spread his arms, pounced on them properly, and threw the three girls down on the soft bed.
