Chapter 242: Words are not speculative

Seeing this General Pang staring at him a little distractedly, Chen Yuanyuan only felt a burst of shame welling up in his heart, and at the same time, he also felt a burst of joy in his heart. She didn't expect General Pang to come uninvited tonight, which was something she had never done before.

After Chen Yuanyuan handed the fragrant tea to Pang Gang, when Pang Gang took it, he couldn't help but touch the other party's fingers, and a slippery and cool feeling suddenly surged into Pang Gang's heart. Pang Gang's heart trembled, and he raised his head just to meet Chen Yuanyuan's delicate face, and a trace of blush gradually appeared on his snow-white neck, which was extremely attractive.

The eyes of the two of them were touched, although it was only for a moment, but it made Pang Gang feel an inexplicable burning feeling, and this feeling was so without warning.

Holding back the agitation in his heart, Pang Gang took the teacup and smiled at Chen Yuanyuan and nodded his head to show his gratitude.

Putting the teacup aside, Pang Gang asked with a smile: "Miss Chen, Miss Liu, these people are really wronged by Pang Gang drifting on the sea, if you feel bored Pang can send someone to send you back to Suzhou first, what do you think?" ”

Liu Ru was silent, but a trace of gloom flashed on Chen Yuanyuan's face, and after being silent for a while, Liu Ru asked: "My lord, I am not in a hurry to return to Suzhou, the folk girl has something I want to ask my lord, and I hope my lord will give me advice." ”

Pang Gang nodded and said, "Girl, please speak!" ”

"My lord, in the past few days, the people have ordered warships to intercept and block the ships coming and going in Hangzhou, and forcibly collect taxes. Adults actually cheated them like this? Besides, can your lord's move have the emperor's will and the official documents of the court? If there is no official document, the adult's move will be self-isolation from the court and the people! ”

Liu Ru spoke eloquently, with an inviolable look on her beautiful face, and Liu Mei also stared at Pang Gang, although she was a woman, but at this moment a heroic aura was emanating from her, which made people dare not ignore it.

"Sister Liu, how can you say such a thing to a huge person!" Chen Yuanyuan on the side was in a hurry, moved Lianbu to Liu Ruyi's side, and grabbed Liu Ruyi's arm, "The huge person is doing a big thing, so don't ask more about our daughter's family." ”

Pang Gang saw Chen Yuanyuan's anxious expression, and smiled comfortingly at her: "Miss Chen, don't worry, it's normal for Miss Liu to have questions, and Miss Liu is also a strange woman, so it doesn't hurt to have this question." ”

Speaking of this, Pang Gang turned to Liu Ru is straight color and said, "Miss Liu, according to what you mean, this official has done something wrong?" ”

"That's nature!" Liu Ru said confidently: "Emperor Taizu has a clear text that the tax that merchants have to pay for trading is thirty taxes and one, and some merchants are also exempt from taxes, isn't it against Taizu's will to do this?" ”

Pang Gang sneered: "Joke, why don't you need to pay taxes when doing business?" Miss Liu, this official asks you, is this the suffering of the people who farm the land or the suffering of the officials and gentry who are officials doing business? ”

"This" Liu Ru couldn't help but be a little speechless, this still needs to be asked, the farmers can't even eat enough, and the gentry who do business are fat one by one, isn't this an obvious thing.

Seeing that Liu Ru didn't answer, Pang Gang asked again: "Since I don't understand the truth that even a three-year-old naughty boy knows, why the rich can be exempt from taxes, but the poor have to pay taxes, what kind of truth is this, and the official just forcibly took some taxes from those businessmen, how can it become a matter of self-isolation from the court and from the people?" ”

"This" Liu Ru was speechless by Pang Gang's several questions.

Yes, why don't those rich people pay taxes, but the poor people do, this reason doesn't make sense! But why did the imperial court insist on doing this?

Liu Ru is not a stupid woman, on the contrary, she has read poetry and books since she was a child, and has her own opinions on many things, but she has never doubted this system that has existed for thousands of years. But she π defended: "But this is the ancestral system of the imperial court." ”

Pang Gang sneered: "Ancestral system, what bullshit ancestral system, in my opinion, this ancestral system is not necessary." ”

"You, you are bold" Liu Ru didn't expect Pang Gang to dare to say such a big rebellious thing, and suddenly her eyes were so angry that her straight breasts became undulating due to the shortness of breath, and she stood up and was about to stand up and reprimand Pang Gang.

And Chen Yuanyuan, who was on the side, saw that it was not good, and quickly pulled her back. Chen Yuanyuan begged the pair of Pang Gang and begged: "My lord, just say a few words." ”

Pang Gang sighed and said: "Miss Liu, maybe you think that what Pang is doing at the moment is a big rebellion, but Pang can guarantee that all the silver collected by Pang this time will be used on the people, which is better than letting those gentry who are rich and unkind to eat, drink and have fun, right?" If the girl still thinks that Pang has done something wrong, then Pang will send someone to send the girl back to Suzhou. Pang said that, so he took his leave first. ”

After Pang Gang finished speaking, he stood up and walked out the door. When Pang Gang walked to the end of the cabin corridor, Chen Yuanyuan's voice sounded behind him.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" Chen Yuanyuanlian walked hurriedly, chased after Pang Gang and said apologetically: "Don't mind, my lord, Sister Liu is such a surname, in fact, her person is very good, don't blame her." Chen Yuanyuan said as he looked at Pang Gang anxiously, a shiny thing flashing in her eyes.

Pang Gang sighed, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke her black hair, Chen Yuanyuan was touched by Pang Gang's hand, but he lowered his head shyly and didn't dare to look at him. He whispered, "My lord! ”

"Ugh"

Seeing Chen Yuanyuan's shy and delicate appearance, Pang Gang realized that it was not okay for a big man to touch other girls' heads so rashly, it was very rude.

Pang Gang hurriedly retracted his hand and said with a dry smile: "I'm sorry, Miss Chen, don't blame, it's Pang who is rude." ”

"It doesn't matter, the folk girl has never blamed the adult." Chen Yuanyuan muttered in a low voice, but the sound was smaller than that of a mosquito, if it weren't for the dead of night at this moment, Pang Gang would never have heard it.

Looking at the beautiful woman who almost hung her head to her chest, Pang Gang's heart beat violently, Pang Gang's EQ was not low, and he naturally understood that the beauty in front of him seemed to like him a little. This discovery made his heart both happy and a little incredulous.
