"Your Excellency...... Adult ......"

Bai Tang was dragged aside by the soldiers and messengers, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted. But where will Yue Su pay attention to him and not give him a lesson, how will he gain a foothold in Henan in the future, and who will be afraid of him. The new official has taken office with three fires, which is absolutely indispensable.

"Crackling" After the forty boards were played, Bai Tang grinned in pain, but Yue Su didn't even look at it, just looked at the thugs and laborers in Mi Xing. These people are all acting on orders, if they are all beaten, it is really a little inappropriate, after a little thought, Yue Su said: "Now Mi Xing is temporarily handed over to the government to take over, the shopkeeper, do you plan to stay in the city, or go back to Luoyang?" ”

Bai Tang said that he didn't want to stay in the city anymore, and he just wanted to go back to Luoyang as soon as possible and cry to King Fu so that he could stand up for himself. But when Yue Su asked this, how could he answer truthfully, endured the pain, and said carefully: "It's all up to the orders of the adults." ”

"Take all your people with you, and go now. By the way, don't say that the headquarters is harsh, take the rations and the money in the store and leave. Yue Su said lightly. The reason why these people were sent away was that they did not want to leave behind and cause trouble, after all, the hungry people were coming soon, and it would be difficult to deal with them if they deliberately retaliated and caused trouble.

Seeing Yue Su say this, Bai Tang made a look of grievance and said, "The villain obeys the order." ”

Yue Su nodded, and said, "How much grain do you have in your rice store now?" ”

"Four granaries, a total of 20,000 stone of grain." Bai Tang said truthfully.

"Very good, you now set up a note to the Ministry of Finance, and when the disaster relief money arrives one by one, the Ministry will send the silver to King Fu." Yue Su said.

"Yes, yes......" Bai Tang agreed repeatedly, but he couldn't afford it. It's not that he doesn't want to get up, it's really painful, and he can't get up when he thinks about it. When he was just beaten, the messenger showed mercy to his subordinates and didn't use much strength, but the soldier had just come to copy the rice. This kind of opportunity, if you don't take the opportunity to be ambitious, you are too sorry for yourself. Therefore, the twenty boards he started to fight can be said to be full of strength, and he also relied on fighting less, so he didn't ask for Baitang's dog's life.

Yue Su saw that he was not lightly injured, and said, "Help him in and let him write a note." ”

The officers and soldiers received the order, helped Baitang up, and walked towards the rice line. The guards and laborers who were blocking there hurriedly got out of the way and let people in. It didn't take much effort, and Bai Tang was helped out again with the note.

"Big, big...... Please take a look at ......" Bai Tang presented the paper to Yue Su.

Yue Su took a look, nodded slightly, and said, "How much is the price of the silver you sold to the imperial court?" ”

"This ...... Now the price of grain in Henan is eight taels ......of silver and one stone," Bai Tang said carefully.

"Did you order this price?" Yue Su asked coldly.

"Of course not, how can a villain have this ability, now the price is in the city." Bai Tang said.

"Oh......" Yue Su smiled slightly and said, "Then you also plan to give it to the imperial court at this price?" ”

"The price is like this, and it's not easy for villains to change the price......"

As soon as Bai Tang's words came out, Yue Su raised his hand and slapped him, directly slapped him to the ground, and scolded: "You dog head, you usually hoard Juqi in the ordinary world, and even if you bully the small people, you dare to blackmail the court today." The imperial court has always had an official price for collecting grain, don't you know? ”

It is true that the imperial court has an official price for collecting grain, but it is only limited to paying taxes, and if you need to buy grain, it is mostly according to the market price. Especially in the late Ming Dynasty, there was a great drought in the world year after year, and the price of grain soared, and even the imperial court had to spend high prices to buy grain for military use. Of course, the officials responsible for purchasing grain inevitably colluded with merchants to earn money from the imperial court.

"But ......"

Bai Tang only said one word, Yue Su stepped forward, raised his leg and kicked again, and scolded: "But what but, the Ministry of Justice is asking you now, do you want to blackmail the imperial court?" ”

"Where do villains dare." Bai Tang said timidly.

"That's good." Yue Su said coldly: "Help him up." ”

After the messenger helped Bai Tang up, Yue Su handed over the paper in his hand and said, "Pull him into the house and mark the price of grain." ”

Bai Tang was subdued into the house again, and every step he took, he gritted his teeth in pain, knowing in his heart that if he dared to write at the current price, he would not be killed by this adult. In desperation, I had to calculate according to the price of Pingli, one tael of silver and one stone.

After writing, he went out and handed it to Yue Su, who took it and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction this time, and said, "Count you honest." Take your people in and pack up, give you half an hour, and when you're done, get out of town quickly! By the way, you can't beat the officers and soldiers of the court in vain, and you will be fined fifty taels of silver, which will be counted as the medical expenses of the injured soldiers. ”

"Yes, yes......" Bai Tang agreed, and asked the man to take the silver and hand it over to Yue Su. Yue Su was directly handed over to Guo Yigang and asked him to distribute it to the soldiers who were injured here.

Then, let Bai Tang retreat. Bai Tang crawled into the rice shop, and his subordinates also ran in as if they had been pardoned at this moment.

The leader and foreman of the thugs didn't know what to do, and asked Bai Tang's opinion, and Bai Tang scolded loudly: "Didn't you hear it just now? Why don't you hurry up and pack up your things and leave, do you want to see your master eat another board! ”

Fu Lai Mi Xing was busy cleaning up, there were 20,000 stone of grain in it, and if he wanted to take it away, it was absolutely impossible, that is, to take away the belongings inside. Yue Su was not in the mood to stare at this, so he asked Li Zhong and a general to stay behind and supervise with two hundred people. The rest of the people followed Yue Su to Yunsheng Rice Shop. Before leaving, Yue Su told the general that if there was a mistake, he would not be spared.

After seeing Yue Su's majesty, he was already in awe, how dare he slack off, and promised again and again, saying that he would never make a mistake.

Yue Su led people to Yunsheng Rice Shop, which was the business of Zhang Guozhang's family, and the momentum of the shopkeeper in the store was similar to that of Baitang. However, no matter how horizontal he is, he can't cross Yue Su, Yue Su still draws a gourd in the same way, comes up with a way to deal with Baitang, divides three times by five, divides the shopkeeper of this house by two, and rewards forty boards in the same way, and then asks him to write down the voucher, fines fifty taels of silver as medical expenses, and limits half an hour to pack up things and go out of the city.

This time, Yue Su also left 200 soldiers behind, and ordered Kong Jian to supervise here, and then took the rest of the soldiers and horses to the last one, Li Ji Mixing.

Since the fall of Fang Congzhe, Li Wenzhang has restrained a lot, often restraining his subordinates, and doing things cautiously. However, the reason why Li Ji Mixing dares to be so arrogant today is mainly because this is the boundary of Henan, and the big boss and Zou Jiaren, the political envoy of Henan, are friends with each other, and they are used to being domineering before, so they don't take the garrison yamen in their eyes.

Fulai Rice Shop and Yunsheng Rice Shop are now swept by Yue Su, and they are both in Huaiqing City, the news naturally spreads quickly, and Li An, the shopkeeper of the Li family, has already received the news at this moment, knowing that it is Yue Su, the new governor of Henan, who has personally come forward.

When Ang Lee learned about this, he was shocked and regretted it very much, the old man always told him not to cause trouble, and now the trouble is coming to the door. The political envoy is considered to be the number one in Henan, but when the governor came, he immediately ranked second, so he didn't count.

Seeing that this adult was about to hit the door, Li Ang thought about it and couldn't think of any proper way. Yes, even King Fu and Uncle Guo didn't buy it, and the political envoy was even more difficult.

Just as he was hesitating, Li An heard the crowd outside boiling, and the shouts were deafening.

"Listen to the people of Mixing, hurry up and get out, the governor has arrived!"

Hearing the shout, Li An knew that someone was knocking on the door. If you don't go out, it's not good, there must be more people coming from outside than last time, or the governor leads the team, if you don't go out, the other party will be able to come in, and fight again, I'm afraid the victory and defeat will be reversed. At that time, if you don't know it, you will have to put on a hat that plots to assassinate the court officials and intends to rebel, and even your own master will have to take it in.

So, Ang Lee did not gather his subordinates, but went out alone. When I arrived outside the door, I saw that the door was full of officers and soldiers, and I secretly complained in my heart. had to kneel on the ground and say, "The little people see the governor."

Yue Su saw that he knew each other, and said lightly: "Get up." ”

"Thank you, sir." Ang Lee stood up. I didn't say a word, and I didn't ask Yue Su what he meant by coming here, anyway, this was all a matter of knowing it.

It was Yue Su who nodded secretly to his calmness, and said, "The Ministry of Courtyard has come this time, so what is going on, I think you already know it." ”

"Back to the adults, the little people know. There are 23,000 stones of grain in the granary [***] in the backyard of Mihang, and the adults want to levy as much as they want, although they are instructed. With that, Li An knelt on the ground again and said, "The small people of the right people offended the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and they know that they are guilty, and I hope that the adults will be punished lightly." ”

Yue Su nodded and said, "The Ministry has just punished Fulai Mixing and Yunsheng Mixing, both of them are forty rods, and you are no exception. ”

"Thank you, sir, for your lenient handling." After Li An finished speaking, he went to the side and lay down, waiting to be beaten by the board. He knew in his heart that the backers of the first two families were the prince and the uncle, and this lord only rewarded forty boards, which was to see the face of the other party's master's family. 's own backstage, but no one is hard, and he also plays forty, which is already an excellent grace.

The four law enforcement officers and soldiers stepped forward as usual, picked up the board and "crackled" and hit the forty boards. After the beating, Li An endured the pain, stood up on his own, bowed down and said, "I don't know what else the adults command?" ”

"For your honesty's sake, I won't make much trouble for you, so I will first take fifty taels as the medical expenses of the beaten soldiers, and then make a note for the payment of grain and straw, and give you half an hour, take the belongings in the rice row, and move out immediately. Here the Ministry of Residence is temporarily requisitioned. Whether you want to go out of town or not is up to you. ”

"The grass people obeyed." After Li An finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and walked a few steps, came to the door of the rice shop, and shouted loudly inside: "Dongzi, come out with fifty taels of silver in the account." ”

"Yes, shopkeeper." A young man's crisp voice came from the rice line. Soon, I saw a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walking out timidly. He naturally knew the situation outside, and the beating of the shopkeeper had already scared more than a dozen guys in the store enough, but who dared to come out.

Now Xiao Dongzi's young man walked out of the store with the silver in his hand, and as soon as he went out, he happened to see Yue Su opposite. Xiao Dongzi was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: "Why is this person so familiar." Immediately after, he saw Jin Cicada and Tie Qiu standing beside Yue Su, and as soon as he saw the two of them, the horror just now immediately flew out of the clouds. I saw Xiao Dongzi suddenly jump up happily and pounce towards the golden cicada.

While running, he shouted happily: "Uncle Jin, Uncle Tie......"
