Chen Kang saw that everyone's eyes were all around, knowing that the goal had been achieved, he pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice and said: "What do you know, the master said, wait for me to urge some more taxes, how much can be urged, and then the extra will be given to me thirty percent" His tone was very mysterious, although the voice was lowered, it was enough for the guests in the small tavern to hear clearly, and the shopkeeper stretched out his finger and said in surprise: "Sancheng, then you have made a fortune, but then you still have to collect the debt." Chen Kang waved his hand: "Be quiet, don't tell others, we are old neighbors......" Saying that, Chen Kang deliberately looked left and right, and the little pimple was leaning over to listen, and when he saw Chen Kang seeing him, he hurriedly turned around and went out of the tavern and rushed back.

The guests in the tavern slowly increased, Chen Kang didn't dare to drink more, there were more important things to do in a while, he simply drank two sips of wine, ate half a bowl of noodles, and was about to leave, when he heard the tavern lively: as soon as someone entered the door, he discussed: "Hey, you said, this new thing happens every year, but this year is very much." Someone else asked, "What's new again?" ”

It was a burly man who spoke, and his voice was also high: "Have you ever heard of a woman ordering a courtesan?" ”

Everyone had just heard what Chen Kang said, and they were still whispering, and when they heard this man say this, they raised their heads and asked, "You haven't drunk yet, why are you drunk just after entering the door?" Dahan smiled: "Don't believe it, you see, I just went to deliver meat to Ruyi Restaurant, and I happened to see that a woman ordered Miss Liu to sing a song, and I don't know how to do it, this Miss Liu is like a magic barrier at this time, scolding the county order, I heard that the girl is the county master, and she deliberately embarrassed Miss Liu." ”

The people who ate burst into laughter: "Although Miss Liu is a courtesan, there is no one in this county who doesn't know that she is a good friend of the county master, and now there is a good show." ”

Chen Kang smiled secretly in his heart, this must also be a good thing for the son, he asked Xiao Er to settle the wine and dinner money, carrying the fabric and jewelry and went straight to the county office, the county master is in the study to close his eyes and recuperate, he will be promoted after the New Year, if he still does the county order, then naturally how to get rich He has a way, but if the relative in the capital makes a little effort for himself, he can really mix the official position of a transfer envoy, then he will make a lot of money,

Zhu Xianling was drinking tea and thinking about good things, when he suddenly heard the master come over and ask: "County master, that Chen Kang is here, saying that he has something to see you." ”

"No, no, no." Zhu Xianling waved his hand impatiently,

The master hurriedly said: "I see, you should meet it, he said that there is something very important." This master just received Chen Kang's silver, in front of the county master, the master is somewhat useful to speak, Zhu Xianling hummed impatiently: "Call him in." ”

When Chen Kang saw the county master, the last thing that the king explained to him was completed, and Chen Kang looked panicked when he saw the county order: "County master, the big thing is not good." Zhu Xianling thought to himself that Chen Kang had taken the wrong medicine today: "Bold, if you come, you will say that it is not good to say anything big." ”

Chen Kang put down the fabric on his shoulders and came over to salute the county master, "Oh, county master, you don't know yet, that king is holding your paperwork next to him, saying that he wants to give it to Cai Ting on Jiangnan West Road, what kind of meeting gift." ”

"What,." When Zhu Xianling heard this, he slapped the table and stood up, this is troublesome, he has long heard that this Cai Ting has never been humane, but Zhu Xianling immediately sank his face: "Chen Kang, what nonsense are you talking about, what Cai Ting, what kind of meeting gift, what does it have to do with this county." ”

Chen Kang pondered for a while, he really didn't pretend to be deep, he was thinking about what the king said, this king had arranged so many things at once, and it was really not easy to do it one by one, he thought about it and said: "Alas, the county master, you are our parent official, and you also know that I am doing my best for you, and I don't want to watch you have an accident." ”

"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, you hurry up."

"Okay, didn't you let me go with the king that day, this kid is more ruthless, you see that my injury is not good, he let me run around and do this and that, and he won't let me rest for a while, I heard him say that he is passing by when he returns to Linchuan this time, he is doing the errand sent by Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang, you send him on an errand, he will hate you, he promised you to do the errand, but he has never gone to do the tax collection."

Hearing this, the county magistrate was nervous for a while, could it be that he had sent the wrong person, and the county magistrate hurriedly asked the master: "Master, what Chen Kang said is the truth. ”

The master shook his head, this county master is really confused, when the king came that day, he even said that his words were not as good as the county master, the county master's face was a real face, and when he saw the kid next to the king, he was not good: "Master, the king has indeed not done anything to urge taxes in the past three or four days." ”

Chen Kang hurriedly continued: "That's right, this kid can hold back the bad, he said that when Cai Ting from Jiangnan West Road arrived in Linchuan, he would show Cai Ting the document you wrote, and let Cai Ting tell the prime minister, and said that the taxes on your top are not collected by the imperial court, but you are all greedy." ”

Zhu Xianling's master panicked first: "Master, you are in big trouble now." It's okay if he doesn't remind him, when he says this, Zhu Xianling also feels that his head is big, but he immediately said: "What is there to worry about a Cai Ting, my relative is still a household judge." ”

Chen Kang was so happy in his heart, he didn't get a board when he entered the county government today, this is a rare thing, acting to the end, he was busy saying to the county order: "Master, Cai Tinglai is really nothing, at most he will not collect your overcharged taxes, and then impeach you, impeachment You don't have to wait for him to return to the capital, even if he plays to the imperial court, our Great Song Dynasty will not kill civil officials, you are already a Jiupin official to do the county order, I think the worst will be deposed from the capital for 500 miles......"

Zhu Xian Ling was so angry in his heart, this Chen Kang cursed himself in his heart, "Bah, bah, you crow's mouth, master, what should I do now, master." ”

The current master has kicked in and out of the door, he is trying to quietly quit, his own listed master is nothing more than to mix up to eat, to help the county come up with an idea to run an errand, listening to Chen Kang said that the county order is not a small trouble, the master is thinking about leaving quickly without flowing this troubled water, he suddenly heard the county order shouting himself, and said while retreating: "I see, you better quickly pack up your things and run, or you go to the prince to see if things have taken a turn for the better." ”

Chen Kang hurriedly said to the county order: "No, no, don't look for the king, if you look for him now, he will definitely open his mouth and blackmail you, if you want me to say, you might as well go out of the city in person."

"Go out of the city in person, what do you want me to do."

"County master, you are confused, if you meet with Cai Ting before the king's side, go to greet him in person, and give the transfer a preconceived good impression, then everything will be easy to do."

This Chen Kang was quite thinking about himself at the critical moment, and Zhu Xianling was really confused, and he didn't want to think about how he treated Chen Kang in the past: "Okay, okay, did the king say when Cai Ting will come?"

Chen Kang thought for a while: "It seems that I will go to Linchuan today, you see, don't I still hold the gift that the king is going to send to the transfer envoy, and pointed to the cloth as he spoke, and took out the jewelry and silver taels in his arms" This time Zhu Xianling believed it even more, just because Chen Kang would definitely not be able to afford these things, and there would not be so many silver taels,

"Master, quick, prepare the horse, master, master, master." The county commander hurriedly ordered, how could there be a master in the room, Chen Kang hurriedly stopped Zhu Xianling: "You just go empty-handed, this is too stingy, I don't care about you, I have to send things back quickly, preconceived, county master." ”

Zhu County's order can not take care of the master's absence, the king has sent so many things, silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, these are not lacking in his own house, busy people prepare sedan chairs, bring gifts, want to go out of the city to wait for Cai Ting, Zhu County's order is only lacking is the brain, Wang Pan has already seen him, otherwise a dignified county order, how can he be so proud of Wang Bang's good words, and usually hype his backer, but also with a courtesan's affair full of wind and rain in the city,

Chen Kang said goodbye to Zhu County's order, and the task assigned by the king was successfully completed, he was happy in his heart, but he was still a little uneasy, if Zhu County's order didn't plan to go out of the city, or no one would mind this matter, wouldn't the son be busy in vain, he went out of the county government and walked towards his mansion, and planned to simply go back and pack up his things, so he moved to the king's side, and didn't take a few steps, when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Chen Cripple, you stop for me." Startled him, he hurriedly raised his head, Zhang Sanzheng twisted his eyebrows and stared at him to block his way: "Let me ask you, what did you do just now." ”

Chen Kang secretly thought: It's bad, is it that the work of the son is going to be exposed, and when Zhang San shouted like this, the people walking on the street slowed down, and the people who bought and sold shops on both sides also looked at it, Chen Kang just wanted to run, and when he turned around, he saw the master walking along the wall with a package on his back, Chen Kang pointed to the master: "You ask him." ”

Zhang San shouted at the master: "Master, come here." When the master saw Zhang San seeing himself, he said: "It's all the county master's idea, it's none of my business." ”

wanted to slip away, but it wasn't so easy, Zhang San rushed over: "Let me ask you, what are you running." The crowd gathered around when they saw the excitement, Zhang San grabbed the master like a chicken, and the master hurriedly said: "The county order is greedy for everyone's taxes, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

"Wow." As soon as he said this, the crowd blew up the nest, and Chen Kang, who had slipped into the outer circle of the crowd, asked: "Then tell me, whether you have paid the tax before or not." He said this on his own, and the task given to him by the king was to stir up the people, and the more people felt that it had something to do with him, the better.

This half-baked master is already scared stupid, he can write a few words, but he is not necessarily familiar with the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, especially Zhang San glared at himself, this Ruyi Restaurant is the most unpaid, he hurriedly said: "I heard that someone is going to check, and those who have not paid it must be made up, I have paid it, I don't know, the money is greedy for the county order, if he takes it away, I'm afraid everyone will have to pay more." ”

"Fuck you." Zhang San said, punched the master in the face, and hurriedly went back to Ruyi Restaurant to report the news, and the people on the street also gathered in groups of three or five, and talked about it one after another.
