Leng Yi cried and said with a sad face: "Humble ......, there is really no lowly position......

Governor Liao glared at him, stomped his feet and said, "Are you really not crying when you don't see the coffin?" ”

Leng Yi was about to cry, and looked at Governor Liao's mansion pitifully.

Governor Liao was so angry that he shook the sleeves of his robe and said, "Since this is the case, this mansion can't help it!" Leng-sama, please come back! ”

Leng Yi cried and returned to the Yinling Inn.

He asked Master Dong to arrange for Deputy Song to return to Yinling County with all the soaps. These people stay here, and he pays for food and housing, and he can't stand it. Moreover, these people stay here and do not play much more than to attract attention.

The only people left behind were Wu Zhutou and Master Dong. The others all returned to Yinling County.

At noon the next day, the prefect of Liao took Niu Zhutou and others to the Yinling Inn, and the prefect took the initiative to visit the lower officials at the inn, which is probably a privilege that Leng Yi enjoys. However, he would rather not have this privilege, because Liao Zhifu asked the same question over and over again: Are you ready to meet the Huang Transit Envoy?

Leng Yi still looked pitiful. He didn't have the money to pay taxes, and he didn't go back to Yinling to borrow money or find a way, so he stayed in this inn in Bazhou, as if he knew that he had no way to raise money, and waited for the prefect to remove him from his post and investigate it. made Liao Zhifu so angry that he was smoking, blowing his beard and glaring, but there was nothing he could do about it.

In the next few days, Governor Liao came to the inn every day to report and ask Leng Yi the same question. Of course, he got the same answer.

Finally, the first day of the lunar month arrived. This is the last deadline for the annual tax to be paid.

Early in the morning, Leng Yi called the innkeeper Jia to the room, took out the pawn ticket found from the old thief, and said to the shopkeeper Jia: "I took a pair of bronze wine bottles from the family heirloom, but this thing is very valuable, I urgently need money now, I have no choice but to die, we are all Yinling people, see that you are very sincere, so I ask you, if you are willing to buy this thing, you can redeem it, look at it and give me a suitable price, as long as it is higher than death." If not, then please help me get this pawn ticket, sell the things on it, and get the silver back. After deducting all the money I owe you for the house and the meal, I'll send me the rest. ”

Shopkeeper Jia hurriedly took the ticket, thinking, what do you say to return the rest to you? It depends on whether there is anything left. You are so poor that you don't pay for the inn, where can you take anything of value as a gift? I'm afraid that this thing won't even have enough money for his own store and food, so how can there be anything left?

While pondering in his heart, he took the pawn ticket and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised, this pawn ticket had the amount of the absolute sale written on it. The absolute sale is that the things given to the pawnshop are not redeemed, and they are sold to the pawnshop, and this price is the absolute sale, also called "dead pawn". This price is extremely low.

Shopkeeper Jia looked at the pawn thing, and sure enough, it was a pair of bronze wine bottles, and the price of the dead dang was quite high, although it was a dead pawn, it was still quite high. I rolled my eyes and thought to myself, maybe this thing was really valuable, if it died, wouldn't it be a cheap pawnshop? Let's redeem it and see it.

After thinking about it, Shopkeeper Jia went out with a fart.

Soon, Shopkeeper Jia came back again, with two guys, holding a box of silver, putting it on the round table, and said with a smile: "Master, you can order some silver." The number is correct. The money for meals and the money for the room have been settled. ”

Leng Yi opened the box, counted the number, it was more than the price of the sale, and looked at the shopkeeper Jia suspiciously: "There is a lot more money, do you want it yourself?" ”

"Yes! After I redeemed the villain, I liked it very much, so I paid for it myself according to your intentions, and gave it back to you at a higher price than the absolute sale, and the house money and meal money were also flushed. What do you think? ”

"Okay! So be it. Leng Yi smiled, waved him away, called Master Dong in, and asked him how much he had all his debts, including public and private debts.

Master Dong didn't know that the county lord's taxes were gone, so why was he still in the mood to ask this question. Hurriedly went back to the room to get the account book, quickly calculated it, and told Leng Yi.

When Leng Yi heard this, half of the stone in his heart fell: the tax silver plus the wine bottle after the shopkeeper Jia bought it, plus the silver he found from the old thief, Tang Zhutou, the fat woman and the beautiful woman in the Land Temple, in addition to completing the task of paying taxes, he could also repay the food silver owed to the Yamen scribes and the debts owed by Bazhou. However, the debts of the remaining creditors other than the Yinling Yamen were unable to be repaid.

This is already a big step forward, at least tentatively out of the woods. The rest of the debt, which will be repaid with a monthly salary, will take about a year or so. After a year, you can be debt-free and light.

Of course, in the meantime, if there are killers who want to kill themselves, they can also make a small fortune by the way. However, he would rather not make this kind of small fortune, after all, this is gambling with his surname. Better an open enemy than a false friend!

In the afternoon, it was less than half an hour before the government was dispersed, and at this time, the horse-faced Xiaoer hurriedly came up and reported that the prefect was here again, but this time, with a large group of arresters. Leng Yi immediately called Zhuo Qiaoniang to the room of Wu Zhutou and told them that no matter what happened, they were not allowed to come out. Zhuo Qiaoniang saw that he said solemnly, and quickly agreed.

Leng Yi settled Zhuo Qiaoniang, went out of the room, and saw that Liao Zhifu had a gloomy face, and walked over quickly. Hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Humble to meet the prefect!" ”

"Despicable? You are a humble word, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to use it in the future! Governor Liao sneered, "The deadline for paying taxes is coming soon, can you raise money to fill the shortfall?" ”

Leng Yi slowly took out a worn-out money bag from his arms, and handed it to Liao Zhifu with both hands: "All the belongings of the lowly position, that's all." If you can, let the lowly position be used to fill the shortfall. ”

Liao Zhifu took the money bag, pulled it open, and fell on the round table, in addition to a few pieces of broken silver, there were also some copper coins. couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You have lost so many taxes, what can this point make up?" ”

Leng Yi spread his hands and made a helpless gesture.

Governor Liao stared at him and said word by word: "Are you - really - no way?" ”

Leng Yi nodded slowly.

With a wave of Liao's hand, Niu Zhutou and others came over with shackles and chains in their hands, and they wanted to lock Leng Yi.

Leng Yi didn't resist at all, stretched out his hands, and waited for them to be shackled. Master Dong sighed next to him, and beat his chest with his feet, there was no way.

Niu Zhutou was obviously a little surprised by Leng Yi's performance, took the shackles, and looked back at Liao Zhifu.

Liao Zhifu shook his head with a wry smile and waved his hand. The cow catcher waited for the catch to be caught and then retreated.

Liao Zhifu said: "Forget it! You are a scholar, ten years of hard study, in exchange for fame and official position, it is also easy, this time the tax was stolen, it is also excusable, this government has told the transfer envoy about your situation, he also expressed understanding, said that he is in charge, and will give you another half a year to raise to fill the deficit. ”

Leng Yi was obviously a little surprised, and looked at Governor Liao's mansion in a daze.

Governor Liao beckoned two people from behind him, a man and a woman. The two women were in their early twenties, and they looked exactly the same, and they turned out to be twins. The willow eyebrows are bent, the eyes are like the rippling spring water, the lips are rosy like delicate cherries, the face is blown up, the skin is deceitful and snowy, and a pair of delicate red peonies are alive. Maybe it's because of the martial arts practice, with large breasts and slim waist, a graceful figure, vigorous and heroic posture.

Looking at the man next to him, it was an old man. When Leng Yi saw that this old man had a pair of triangular eyes, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, looked at his eyes intently, and remembered that it was the night that night into the yamen, stepping on the ice and snow under the porch to wake him up, he climbed the big tree behind the house, and saw the triangular-eyed masked man who climbed over the wall through the sniper rifle scope night vision device! Although he was masked that day, those triangular eyes made him unforgettable.

Liao Zhifu said: "Your taxes have been stolen by robbers many times, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, this government recommends you to scatter a nursing home, - come!" See you soon. He pointed to the two women: "They are twin sisters, surnamed Cheng, the elder sister's name is Cheng Luojie, and the younger sister's name is Cheng Luoxuan." Both sisters are good at throwing knives and hit every shot! ”

Leng Yi smiled all over his face, and arched his hand: "I've seen two women!" ”

"Don't dare to be!" The two sisters almost simultaneously clasped their fists in return, and said in unison: "Meet Master Leng!" ”

Even the voices are exactly the same, if this is really by his side, he really doesn't know how to tell them apart.
