Luo Jian kept thinking on the road, who provoked Shi Kefa and made him so angry.

Hurried to the Governor's Mansion, Ren Minyu and several officials were also there, and when they saw that Luo Jian had arrived, they got up and saluted.

"Brother Xian, what the hell happened? Makes you so angry? ”

"Let him tell you, won?" Shi Kefa said, pointing to an official.

"Xiaguan is the county order of Yizheng, early yesterday morning, the right servant of the military department, the deputy imperial envoy Tian Yang took five hundred soldiers to Yizheng, saying that it was ordered to increase the tax, and now the county government of the lower official has been occupied by it, Tian Shilang sent people to collect taxes and silver everywhere, if there are those who do not obey, they are all guilty of fornicating with the Tartars, and the people have no way out, so they ask the lower officials to come and inform the governor and the governor."

Yizheng County Commander said indignantly.

"Oh? Doesn't it mean that since the governor went north, the taxes in this northern part of the river were all used to raise soldiers, and the imperial court no longer collected them? ”

Luo Jian heard Shi Kefa say this, there were four towns in Jiangbei before, and the taxes of these four towns could not be collected at all, so the imperial court simply used this as an excuse to deduct part of the military salaries of the four towns and mortgage them with taxes from various places.

"I heard that the emperor wanted to repair the palace, but there was no silver in the household, Ruan Dacheng came up with the idea, saying that Yangzhou has been settled and should pay taxes, and this tax silver is used to repair the palace."

Ren Minyu said that he had just received news from the court in the same year, and as soon as he heard the news, he ran to find Shi Kefa, but he met the Yizheng County Commander to complain.

"Ask the governor and the superintendent to save the people of Yizheng quickly, Yizheng is now being made by the squire of Natian, and some people have been ruined by them." The Yizheng County Commander almost cried as he spoke.

"Don't worry, wait for me to play the court immediately, this Yangzhou has not recovered, how can you add this heavy tax now? Is this Ma Shiying also deaf and blind? Shi Kefa was so angry that he was about to go to the study to pick up a pen and write a recital.

"Brother Xian, this emperor wants to repair the palace, is it useful for you to write a recital?" Luo Jian said.

Shi Kefa stopped, his face extremely ugly.

Luo Jian picked up the walkie-talkie on Shi Kefa's desk and shouted, "Wang Qiang, hear the answer!" ”

After a while, Wang Qiang's voice came: "Received, the chief has something to say!" ”

"Quickly let Lou Ting take two hundred cavalry and wait for me outside the east gate, let's go to Yizheng!" Luo Jian gave the order.

"Xinghua, what are you going to do?" Shi Kefa was shocked when he saw that Luo Jian was going to lead his troops.

"Brother Xian, there is no reason to talk about this kind of person, just send them back!" Luo Jian said categorically.

"Xinghua, they are also acting according to orders, if the emperor does not change his will, what is the use of just cleaning them up?" Shi Kefa still persuaded hard.

"Pack them up, no one will dare to come to Yangzhou to collect taxes in the future, I don't think the emperor will change his mind!" At this time, I really want to build a palace! Besides, even if taxes are collected, how can anyone collect and bankrupt people? I have to go to this ceremony, Brother Xian, don't stop it! ”

As soon as Luo Jian finished speaking, he walked towards the door, and Shi Kefa followed behind and shouted: "Xinghua, you have to calm down!" ”

Seeing that Luo Jiantou left without looking back, Shi Kefa sighed and shouted outside: "Prepare the horse, let's go to Yizheng!" ”

Luo Jian returned to the mansion to change his clothes, put a set of body armor outside, Zhao Quan had already led the horse, got on the horse and went to the east gate.

When they arrived at the east gate, they saw that Wang Qiang and Lou Ting were already waiting with 200 cavalry.

"Target, let's go!" After Luo Jian gave the order to the two, he took the lead and ran towards Yizheng.

Lang Tian, the right attendant of the military department, sat in the hall of the Yizheng County Ya, with his feet on the table, still reminiscing about the two beautiful girls that Liu Zeqing gave him.

Although he is sixty years younger, he was served by these two beautiful girls and scored twice last night, and he really felt beautiful in his heart.

Since he was arranged by the Ma Ge Department to patrol Huaiyang, but the Qing soldiers were about to attack Yangzhou, this Yangzhou did not dare to go, so he had to run to Huai'an to hide in Liu Zeqing's army.

Unexpectedly, joy fell from the sky, but this Ma Ge Department thought of himself again, and arranged for himself to go to Yangzhou to collect taxes.

Before coming to Yangzhou, Ruan Shangshu of the Ministry of War had specially recruited himself to explain carefully, only to know that it was Ruan Shangshu who recommended him, and he was really grateful to Ruan Shangshu, patting his chest and promising that there would be a follow-up.

This Huaiyang Governor Shi Kefa is no longer afraid of it, he has lost power in the court, and he is no longer trusted by the emperor, and there are few people in the Donglin Party in the court, and even Qian Qianyi, who is known as the "leader of the Donglin Party", has also taken refuge in the Ma Ge Department, how can this Shi Kefa make waves again.

It's just that Ruan Shangshu confessed that if Luo Jian, the governor of Huaiyang, intervened, he would avoid it if he could avoid it, and if he couldn't avoid it, he would say that it was the will of the saint, and he would not blame himself.

Thinking that yesterday I arrived at the Yizheng, and I only collected nearly three thousand taels at noon today, this Yizheng has not yet arrived with Qing soldiers, and it took two days to collect such a little, when will the emperor collect all the one million taels? Just collect this million taels, how can you get the benefits? How can Ma Gebu and Ruan Shangshu repay their kindness? Tian Shilang felt that he had to increase his efforts.

Tian Shilang thought in his heart that he must inform his subordinates as soon as possible to increase their efforts, and use some means to deal with these people, not afraid that they will not comply.

Before he could call someone, he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and then several attendants at the gate of the yamen ran in with a rolling belt, shouting "Master, there are cavalrymen coming!" ”

When Tian Yang heard this, he panicked, and hurriedly put his feet off the desk, but he felt that his waist was weak, and he almost turned over with a chair.

The entourage standing on both sides reacted quickly, quickly held on to the chair, and hugged the old man from his seat.

When Tian Yang ran to the gate of the yamen with his official hat, he saw two columns of cavalry lined up on both sides of the yamen, in an orderly manner, and no one was making a noise.

One of them rode a large green horse and wore a pale green shirt with elbow-down sleeves and a black vest.

Before he had time to look up to see who it was, he heard the person on the horse ask, "But the right attendant of the military department, Lang Tian Yang?" ”

When Tian Yang heard this, who was so bold, although his right attendant of the military department was a false position, but after all, he was a minister of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, how could he allow a military general to ask like this, Tian Yang felt that he had to overwhelm him from the momentum.

"Bold! I am still sent by the imperial court, and Er Yiwu will dare to be so domineering when he sees this official? Aren't you afraid that I will impeach you in front of the emperor? Tian Yang felt justified, and shouted with the qi of the dantian at the moment.

As soon as he finished speaking, the general riding next to him lifted the horsewhip in his hand and whipped it, Tian Yang couldn't dodge, was whipped to the neck, stumbled in pain, almost fell to the ground, and the official hat flew out.

"What are you who dare to be so rude in front of the Grand Governor?" Lou Ting raised his horsewhip and was about to draw it again, but Luo Jian stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"Huh? The Grand Governor? The lower officials don't know that the metropolitan governor has arrived, and I hope that the metropolitan governor will forgive the sins! Tian Yang saw that the opportunity was fast, and when he saw that Luo Jian, the governor of Huaiyang, had arrived, he quickly bowed down and softened his dress, regardless of the pain in his neck.

Luo Jian turned over and dismounted, strode into the yamen, and said to Tian Yang as he walked: "Bring me the list of your taxes!" ”

Tian Yang hurriedly picked up the official hat from the ground and put it on his head, followed from behind, rubbing his neck as he walked.

Lou Ting and the others also turned over and dismounted and followed closely.

Hearing that Luo Jianrang took the list of tax collections, Tian Yang was dumbfounded, he didn't think about writing a list for the people, how could he get it?

"This..."Tian Yang suddenly panicked.

"And how do you collect your taxes? Who is taxed? What kind of tax is collected? Seeing that Tian Yang couldn't even get the voucher for collecting taxes, Luo Jian was not in a hurry, Lou Ting brought a chair, Luo Jian sat down, and asked unhurriedly.

Tian Yang was soaked with sweat, and his heart panicked, only to feel weak all over, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks.

The entourage next to him was about to step forward to help, but he was frightened back by Lou Ting's eyes.

"This official is ordered by the emperor to raise the silver taels needed to repair the palace, why should the governor bother to make this official?" Tian Yang, who was sitting on the ground, came back to his senses and remembered Ruan Shangshu's explanation when he left Nanjing.

"Oh, then are you a court official or a Manchu Tartar? Or simply bandits? Luo Jian stared at Tian Yang and asked in a cold voice.

"Where did the Governor start with this?" Tian Yang was still unconvinced, sat on the ground and said with his neck stalked.

"Where to start? Bring people up. Luo Jian commanded towards Lou Ting.

Several cavalrymen walked into the lobby with a group of people from outside, only to enter the lobby and see Luo Jian sitting on a chair, and immediately all knelt down towards Luo Jian.

I was afraid that there would be forty or fifty people when I came in, and the lobby was suddenly crowded with airtightness, Luo Jian felt extremely stuffy, and when Lou Ting saw it, he hurriedly beckoned everyone to go out first, and asked them to send a few representatives to come in and talk to the Metropolitan Governor.

After a while, five or six people came in, it seemed that they were dressed as merchants, and they were about to kneel down towards Luo Jian when they came in.

"Tell me, how did this imperial court ask you to collect taxes?" Luo Jian asked a few people.

"Back to the governor of the capital, the small people are small merchants who sell cloth in the city, but I didn't expect a group of soldiers to suddenly come to the store today, saying that the court wants to collect taxes, and the small shop wants to charge fifty taels of silver, the small shop is a small business, where can I get it, they will snatch away the cloth in the small shop, and also smash the face of the small shop of the small people, this day is really impossible, ask the governor to let the small people be the master!"

"Dadu Governor, Xiaomin opened a teahouse in the city, and he also ran a small business, and these soldiers came in and wanted to collect eighty taels from the small shop, even if they sold the whole family of Xiaomin, they couldn't sell the eighty taels, and they also smashed the tables and chairs in the small shop. Governor, you have to call the shots for the small people! ”

The church was still crying and crying, and there was another sound of horses' hooves outside the hall, and the guards outside the door came in to report that the overseer had arrived.

Shi Kefa walked into the county hall in a few steps, and saw Tian sitting on the ground with a red mark swollen on his neck, and secretly said that things were not good.

"Brother Xian, you're here too, just listen to it together." Luo Jian hurriedly asked Lou Ting to bring another chair.

Shi Kefa asked someone to bring another chair and let Tian Yang sit down.

Seeing that Shi Kefa had arrived, Tian Yang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he would not be beaten again.

Hearing everyone's crying, Shi Kefa's face was extremely ugly, and he glared at Tian Yang, but Tian Yang was not afraid of him at all, and looked at him.

"Tian Shilang, the emperor asked you to go to Yangzhou to collect taxes, how do you do this? I will impeach you to the emperor! Shi Kefa glared at Tian Yang and said.

"May I ask the superintendent, if not, when will the emperor be able to collect the one million taels of silver?" Tian Yang said it rightly.

"Huh?!" Luo Jian snorted coldly, so frightened that Tian Yang shrank his neck, and didn't dare to say anything anymore.

There was a rush of horses' hooves outside, and after a while, Wang Qiangtengteng walked in, walked up to Luo Jian, raised the camera in his hand and said, "Chief, it's been filmed, these bastards are so bad, they actually beat people to death!" ”

"What? Killed someone? Luo Jian was taken aback.

"There was a merchant who stopped them from robbing their belongings and was killed by a soldier! I've already captured this soldier! Wang Qiang said that his anger was still unsubsidy.

Two soldiers escorted a soldier to the hall, and the soldier was still unconvinced, struggling, and shouting, "That man dares to beat Qincha, and he is not guilty!" ”

When Wang Qiang heard this, the fire hit upward, turned around and kicked him in the chest, the soldier's hands were held by two cavalrymen, and he couldn't avoid it, and this time he kicked it very firmly, and suddenly the corners of his mouth were blistering with blood.

When Luo Jian heard that this soldier had killed people casually, he was already extremely angry, and roared angrily, "Come on, pull it out and cut it!" ”

"Xinghua, never!" When Shi Kefa heard this, he immediately became anxious, and quickly stood up to stop him.

Luo Jian took a deep breath, calmed down, turned to Tian Yang and said coldly: "Leave all the silver you have looted, and get out of Yangzhou for me immediately, if I find you here again, I will not be spared!" ”

"Lou Ting, gather all their people, search them one by one, and don't let them take away a tael of silver! If there is resistance, there will be no mercy! The people's belongings must be returned as soon as possible. The families of the victims were compensated by the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and we also paid for the losses of other families, and we were responsible for failing to protect them. ”

Hearing Luo Jian's words, Shi Kefa was silent, Tian Yang's face turned blue, and he didn't know what to mutter.

"Don't get out of here! Do you have to wait for the sedan chair to send you? Seeing Tian Yang sitting on the chair without moving, Wang Qiang pointed at him and scolded.

Tian Yang didn't dare to reply, just stared at Wang Qiang with a vicious eye, and slowly stood up and walked towards the door.

Luo Jian got up and whispered to Shi Kefa: "Brother Xian, let's go back!" ”
