Chapter Seventy-Two: A Gentle Push Behind the Screen

Hush!

Seeing that slender index finger on that bloody mouth, Wang Fulin couldn't help but be angry and funny, but what he wondered even more was whether Ye Junyao knew that there was another person behind this screen. But at this moment, that Ye Xianzun had already opened his mouth to order people to come in, and he could only helplessly share the hiding space behind these four screens with others. Glancing at the jade-colored gauze shirt and duck egg green Hunan skirt, he felt that this was unlikely to be a bold maid in the official family, and it was very likely that the maidservant girl and Jinbao gave him a few words, and gave him a set of "Huizhou Mansion Chronicles" Miss Ye.

At this moment, he finally remembered the chance encounter he had when he took Jinbao on the back street of the county. At that time, the same was true of the green silk sedan chair, which I thought it might be a memorable glimpse, but it turned out to be a startling experience. And at the same time, what jumped into his heart was the narration of Cheng Dagongzi's palpitations, so that he suddenly had an idea.

Could it be that Cheng Naixuan's fiancée is Miss Ye? No, Master Cheng has been a layman all year round, but Ye Xianzun just took office at the beginning of the year, which seems unlikely to say that the marriage contract is unlikely. And judging from Miss Ye's temper and character, even if she occasionally plays pranks, she will not do something out of the ordinary like a vicious dog chasing people.

"Tang Zun, yesterday's hero's banquet was famous for my Shexian students, and the five counties returned with a halberd, and it was when he took advantage of the victory to pursue, Shuai Jiamo couldn't help it, and he wanted to go to Huizhou Mansion again to report. If the Huizhou Mansion continues to make peace with the mud, he said that he will go to the Nanzhili Metropolitan Courtyard and continue to plead to the Imperial History Liu Ye, and if it doesn't work, he will go to the capital to beat the drum! ”

Because of the people around him, Wang Fulin couldn't help but be slightly distracted, and at this moment, these few words suddenly entered his ears, and he was taken aback. He instinctively glanced sideways to the side, but the grimace covered the head and face of the woman who was suspected of Miss Ye tightly, and he couldn't see what her expression was unless he had clairvoyant eyes.

Wang Fulin was taken aback, and Ye Xianzun, who faced the four of them, was even more shocked. He didn't care about the majesty of the lord of a county, so he stood up and said sharply: "Things have to be done gradually, how dare he do this!" ”

It was Zhao Wuye who was the first to speak just now, but at this time, it was Liu Hui who took over the conversation: "Tangzun, it's not that Shuai Jiamo is arrogant and bold, but my Shexian Xia tax silk has accumulated for too long, and the people have suffered for many years. It is said that many localities have complained bitterly about the summer tax payable in this year's distribution to the grain districts, as well as the various annual tribute and military expenses that have been apportioned for the various years, but they are afraid that they may not be able to pay the taxes in August. ”

Although at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were strict requirements for the liberation of summer taxes and autumn grain, and if they were not paid, they would be disposed of layer by layer from the grain chief to the chief of the prefecture and county, but now this year, there are more and more years that are not paid. In the final analysis, it is not the summer tax and autumn grain, which are the main items of taxation, but the apportioned military expenditure and annual office. This is Wang Fulin's biggest feeling after watching the set of "Huizhou Mansion Chronicles" before. Even if you add that huge amount of summer tax silk, plus those wheat and tea, how much is this tax paid? But the annual office plus the military expenditure is often thousands of taels, and if you encounter any feudal kings, you have to add more to the feudal lords and other bad things, the so-called light tax is simply a joke!

But Ye Xianzun wouldn't see it that way. What is the first item of the assessment of the state and county directors in this year? Taxes! At present, the principle of paying taxes is that the annual tribute and military expenses must not be in arrears, and the summer tax and autumn grain can be delayed slightly, but the problem is that if you can't pay the summer tax and autumn grain, you can't go up in the evaluation, don't think about promotion, and it's good if you don't get rid of it! Therefore, he only felt that his scalp was numb and his hands and feet were cold, but when he turned back to his rule, someone ran to Nanjing to make a statement, or went to the capital to beat the drum, he was even more restless.

Seeing that Ye Junyao didn't speak, Zhang Min from the Chengfa room spoke: "I don't dare to bully Tangzun, but the aggressive attitude of the other five counties has already been seen by Tangzun." Not to mention anything else, Wang Xiaoxianggong has repeatedly calculated as if he was a target, and Tangzun himself was splashed with dirty water twice. ”

Behind the screen, Wang Fulin had already heard the meaning of these guys' words. That is, instead of being beaten passively again and again, it is better to launch a counterattack quickly! He couldn't help rubbing his chin and groaning, but immediately he felt as if his elbow had hit something, and when he looked sideways, he realized that he had forgotten that there were other people around him, so he quickly nodded apologetically and smiled, but when he saw the ghost-faced woman shaking her hand at him and pointing outside, he only felt a faint fragrance coming into his nose, and suddenly felt that today's encounter was really wonderful.

Sure enough, when Zhang Min said this, Ye Junyao's anger immediately rose. He was the lord of a county who was so good, but he was slandered for cheating on Wang Fulin's high ranking during the county test, and then he was used by Zhao Sicheng, a traitor, to make a deficit in the books, threatening to increase the level of apportionment of public expenses, and even at the beginning of his tenure, he was even cheated by the former county commander Fang Huan, what is this called! He had already sat down, slapping the desk hard, and stood up again.

"It's unreasonable!"

For Ye Xianzun's business level, Wang Fulin has a deep understanding. Hearing this angry shout at this moment, he felt bad at the time. Although Liu Hui and Zhao Wuye were both recommended to Ye Junyao by him, and it was also his idea to stand in line and choose a camp, his purpose was not to seek benefits and reduce the burden as others thought, but to distinguish between friend and foe, because he hadn't really figured out a lot of situations at that time. But now that a set of Huizhou Mansion Chronicles has been gnawed, he already has some clues, and he has long planned to take the initiative into his own hands, and he can't be led around by others. Moreover, if Ye Junyao was caught in the middle of the game at this time, and he looked back and realized that it was wrong, wouldn't it be all his fault?

But what should he do now? Hiding behind the screen, did he cough heavily, and then walk out calmly? Although he has made a good reputation these days, but this kind of specific affairs suddenly jumped out, I am afraid that Ye Junyao will have an idea!

Wang Fulin was still making a difficult choice, and what he didn't notice at all at this time was that the ghost-faced girl on the side pushed him several times. Upon noticing that he was completely motionless, the hands ended up pressing behind his back. Between the lightning and flint, he only felt a strong force behind him, and the whole person involuntarily fell to the side. After a stumble, he finally stood on his feet and found himself behind the screen!

At this time, not only Ye Xianzun behind the desk looked at this side in dismay, but the four subordinate officials also looked over, but there was not much surprise in their eyes, obviously they all knew that Ye Junyao had met him before. Liu Hui and Zhao Wuye, who knew him, tried their best to hold back their laughter, while the officials of the Chengfa Fang Wang and Zhang Min of the torture room had subtle expressions.

I was actually by a woman!

Wang Fulin was furious, turned his head and glared at the back of the screen, but saw that the ghost-faced woman was facing him, first folded his hands and bowed, as if begging him for help, and then clenched his fists and made a cheering gesture. In the face of this scene, he didn't know that the other party pushed him to make himself stand out, but he was still angry. In the past, when he reversed the inevitable defeat again and again, when was he not raised his eyebrows, why was he so embarrassed now?

Wait and see, I'll settle accounts with you when I send these guys back!
