Li Tao pondered for a moment and asked, "Presumably, Old Master Liu must have rejected him!" ”

"That's nature! However, this Liu Renyi let out his words when he left! ”

"What did he say?"

He said that in Changzi County, as long as it was something he fancied, he never missed! Now we won't sell him for five times, and even if he pays the same amount of money, we will beg him to buy it! ”

"This thief is too rampant, little master, or ......" Pei Yue was furious.

Li Tao waved his hand, he knew that people like Liu Renyi would not be less in any dynasty or generation. If you underestimate him, you don't know if the boat capsized in the gutter.

In the evening, Guo Zhuang returned from the county government, and Li Tao asked him about Liu Renyi's situation.

"The one who really has the final say in Changzi County is none other than Liu Renyi!" Guo Zhuang's first sentence made Li Tao realize the seriousness of the matter.

"How so? Could it be that the entire county government has become an ornament? Liu Xuan's eyes widened, he had never heard of the officials of the county government having to listen to the mercy of a businessman.

"That's pretty much it! Except for a few people in the county government who can be alone, the rest have already been in the same league with Liu Renyi! Guo Zhuang smiled bitterly.

"Presumably Guo Zhutou is also a person who is good at himself!" Li Tao stared at Guo Zhuang.

Guo Zhuang lowered his head: "I can't fight him, and I don't want to be in trouble with him, so I have to make this decision!" ”

"You are also a dignified seven-foot man, do you still need to be afraid of him according to your martial arts? Since this Liu Renyi is indignant, why don't you arrest this person? Pei Yue sneered on the side.

Guo Zhuang's face turned red, he raised his head and said: "I, Guo Zhuang, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if it is just me, I am not afraid of him, it is a big deal to make a fish and die in the net!" But I still have a high hall in the court, if I recklessly involve A-Niang, how can this be good? ”

Li Tao distinguished Guo Zhuang on the side and said: "Uncle Yue, Guo Zhutou is just a foreign official. Those who are older than him are in collusion with Liu Renyi, and it is commendable that he can do this step! ”

Hearing Li Tao say this, Pei Yue stopped talking.

"Guo Zhutou, who else are you talking about being alone?" Li Tao then asked.

"There are only two people, the county commander Zhang Wei and the county lieutenant Zhao Langzhen!"

Li Tao said thoughtfully: "It seems that this matter must be considered in the long run!" ”

Before Li Tao could take a long-term plan, someone came to the door on the second day.

Liu Xuan came into the house and whispered: "Li Xiaolangjun! The eldest son county wants to see you! ”

"The eldest son of the county?" Li Tao frowned and said, "I don't know this person?" Old Master Liu, please invite him in. ”

After a while, Liu Xuan led a man with a lofty spirit and walked in.

When the man saw Li Tao, he didn't say hello, and said straight to the point: "The contemptible person's surname is Yang, his name is Youlin, and he is the eldest son of the county. ”

Li Tao understood that this Yang Xiancheng was here to ask for bribes, but his words were straightforward and high-sounding.

Liu Xuan didn't say anything on the side, just wanted to see how Li Tao coped.

Li Tao smiled: "Yang Xiancheng, you are right, I don't know how much I should donate?" ”

Yang Xiancheng saw that Li Tao was interested and said: "Twenty is enough." ”

Li Tao frowned: "So much? ”

Yang County Chengpi smiled and said, "Li Xiaolangjun! If you have too much, there is another way, and you can also donate without donation! ”

"Oh? Yang Xiancheng, please come and listen! ”

"Give the autumn wind to Liu Renyi and Liu Shopkeeper!"

Li Tao didn't say a word, and said to Liu Xuan: "Old Master Liu, take Yang County Cheng to receive twenty yuan of money." ”

Master Yang smiled and hugged his fist to Li Tao: "Thank you Li Xiaolangjun, I will leave here, and I will come back next month to disturb you." ”

When Li Tao heard this, a black line suddenly appeared in his head: dare to donate this donation every month? How is this different from paychecking?

didn't wait for Li Tao to finish sighing, and then dozens of officials such as the main book, Confucius, Cao Si, scribe, Ling Shi, the principal, the capital, the Zhiyin, Yu Hou, the hall official, the hook, the capital, the public man, the scrivener, the library, the clerk, the post and other officials came to Li Tao to ask for money under various names, which made Li Tao very annoyed. After sending all these people away, after careful calculation, it was as much as two or three hundred yuan that was spent.

After Guo Zhuang learned the news, he was filled with indignation: "This must be Liu Renyi's trick, he used this trick to destroy many businessmen!" ”

After that, Guo Zhuang said to Li Tao: "Li Xiaolangjun, you wait!" I'm going to find someone to figure out how to get there! ”

Seeing Guo Zhuang leave in a hurry, Li Tao's face also became gloomy. The reason why he swallowed his anger was because he didn't want to be noticed, but that didn't mean he could tolerate being slaughtered.

……

As soon as it was dark, Zhao Langzhen, the county lieutenant of Changzi County, sat on his kang head, with a pot of soju in front of him and poured himself a drink.

Zhao Langzhen is around forty years old, and he always has a smile on his face, if he thinks that he is an old fritter in officialdom, it is a big mistake. Don't look at Zhao Lang is really the county lieutenant from the eighth grade, but ten years ago he was the captain of the sixth rank Zhaowu.

Zhao Langzhen is also the son of Jiangmen, but because of an unexpected thing, his father died unexpectedly. Zhao Langzhen joined the army at the age of eighteen, followed Xue Ne, the general of the right Yu Lin Wei, to fight in the north and south, went to the soup and fire, died nine times in his life, and crawled out of the pile of dead people.

Whenever he drinks alone, Zhao Langzhen always thinks of those former brothers. At that time, as long as it was an expedition, his brothers would be densely surrounded by him. He called out to his brothers, and the brothers called out to their brothers, drained the wine in the bowl, and slammed them on the ground together. In the eyes of the brothers, Zhao Lang is really heaven and earth. Zhao Langzhen took his brothers to and from the wind and rain, his head was pinned to his trouser pocket, the brothers blocked arrows for him, took knives for him, and rescued him and protected him in the sea of corpses and blood regardless of his surname. He and his brothers were young and old. Whenever he thinks of emotion, the iron-like Zhao Langzhen has red eyes.

"Brother Zhao!" Guo Zhuang's voice sounded in Zhao Langzhen's ears.

"Oh! It's Guo Zhuang! Zhao Langzhen quickly wiped his eyes.

Zhao Lang really likes Guo Zhuang from the bottom of his heart, Guo Zhuang is not only honest and not bad-hearted, but also has great respect for himself. Especially a big brother, I always can't help but think of those brothers in the past.

"Brother Zhao! I have something to ask you! ”

"Guo Zhuang! What's the matter, don't worry, talk slowly! ”

After listening to Guo Zhuang's explanation of the cause and effect of the matter, Zhao Lang really hated and said: "It's a good thing that Liu Renyi did again!" ”

Liu Renyi's actions in Changzi County Zhao Lang are really clear, if he had left his surname ten years ago, he would have cleaned up Liu Renyi a long time ago. Maybe it's because the years have smoothed out his edges and corners, or maybe it's because he's no longer able to do it, Zhao Langzhen is gradually numb, and the only thing he can do is to keep a distance from Liu Renyi.
