Chapter 339: Slander
One hundred and ten soldiers surrounded the Lin caravan, and the officer in armor snorted: "Dong'an City is not a place where anyone can come and leave if they want!"
"This soldier, we haven't entered the city, why do we have to pay taxes?" Lin Hong's righteous face was black, it was not the first time to take a caravan to the imperial capital, nor was it the first time to enter Dong'an City, which soul calm rule, a car of goods for a million yuan, why not rob it?
If it is replaced by ordinary goods, a truckload of goods is not worth 100 guan at all, so should it be levied according to 100 guan?
The officer is just a small city gate order, and the position can't even reach the military marquis, but the county official is not as good as the current management, and the generation of the city gate is his final say. .............
"You have been at the city gate for so long, blocking the traffic, you know?" the city gate commander said proudly, "And the soldiers have been talking to you for so long, shouldn't you pay taxes?"
Lin Hongyi: "Is there still a royal law?"
"Lao Tzu is the king's law, and Lao Tzu can't care if he leaves the city gate, but here, it's my one-third of an acre!"
Xiao Chen took a step forward: "Hey, do you have an official mansion in Dong'an City?"
"Absolutely. The city gate commander glanced at him and snorted: "What's the matter, do you want to go to the official mansion to beat the drum and voice the grievances, to tell you the truth, in Dong'an City, we are soldiers who have the final say, if the county master dares to take care of the idle things related to us, Lao Tzu has your surname!"
The little marquis said in a mocking tone: "With my surname, I can't afford to lose that person, it's good to have an official government, we really went to surrender." ”
With that, he untied a canvas bag from the saddle and threw it on the ground.
"What do you mean?" the gate made a tense face, and the canvas bag fell to the ground with a "thump" sound, and it certainly didn't sound like a copper coin or silver.
The little marquis raised his foot and kicked the canvas bag away, first there was a strong smell of blood, and then four human heads appeared in front of them.
"Ahh
"Who are you, that you have a human head...... Hey, isn't this the four brothers of the Wang family of the Lingshan horse thief?"
The little marquis smiled: "You know them, as far as I know, the court has a reward for horse thieves and robbers, how much are these four guys worth?"
The city gate commander trembled and stretched out the three fingers of his right hand, and the little marquis immediately lost interest: "It's only thirty taels of silver, and the government is really picking on the door!"
"It's not thirty taels, it's three hundred taels!" he didn't forget to continue to add: "Three hundred taels for one head!"
A head is three hundred taels, and four are one thousand two hundred taels, which is converted into one thousand and two thousand yuan, which is not as good as a medium-level beast core, and the government is still picking.
There was obvious awe in the eyes of the city gate commander, the Lingshan horse thief was a well-known cruelty in the vicinity, and the cultivation of the four masters was extraordinary, and they were good at coming and going without a trace, and they could cut off their heads, which was not something ordinary people could do.
Just three months ago, the Lingshan horse thieves robbed them of a batch of military supplies, which made the garrison general very faceless, and threatened that whoever could kill this group of horse thieves would be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver.
The officers were eager to try, but as a result, several captains were broken, plus hundreds of soldiers, but they couldn't move a single hair of the Lingshan horse thief.
"Are you really in the business of the trade group?" he asked cautiously.
"Can you manage it?" the little marquis's eyes widened.
"Yes, yes, the villain is nosy, please hurry into the city. "Of course he knows that his chicken feathers, which are used as arrows, are not visible.
The garrison general asked the four gates to tax the merchants, but there was no rule that a car should be paid a hundred yuan, and these soldiers were completely watching people put down dishes, and if it was a local caravan, it was only a symbolic amount, or even no collection, and if it met a foreign caravan, it would be slaughtered to death.
Therefore, once this matter reaches the government or the garrison general, they will have to walk around without food.
I thought that the Lin caravan was easy to bully, but the result was that the people even got the Lingshan horse thieves, can we afford to provoke this?
Xiao Houye's eyes narrowed: "What, no taxes?"
The city gate made the old man's face red: "You are the heroes who exterminated the Lingshan horse thieves, how can we collect taxes on the heroes, it's just a joke! Hehe, I don't know Mount Tai with eyes below, please forgive me, please come in, please enter the city!"
Xiao Chen, who has been a gentleman for several years, knows these guys who fight the world too well, the more weak you behave, the more they bully you, but once you get sideways, they will immediately coax.
"Let's go into town!" he waved his hand, as if he were the caravan boss.
The carriage and fish entered the city, and Lin Hongyi arched his hand at Xiao Chen: "Gongzi Chen, it was you who helped us through the catastrophe, I really don't know how to thank you." ”
"Hehe, nothing to thank, just a few words!" he said with a smile.
Lin Hongyi couldn't understand why four heads could scare the soldiers, and asked: "Chen Gongzi, you are also a foreigner, why can you suppress them in a few words?"
"It's very simple, the timid are afraid of the bold, the bold are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal are afraid of dying. He said in a flat tone: "I have done this before, so I understand their psychology very well." ”
"Huh?" Lin Hongyi looked incredulous.
The little marquis shrugged his shoulders and said thoughtfully: "The past is unbearable!"
Lin Die, who followed into the city, clearly heard the conversation between the two, and whispered to himself: "Sure enough, he is not a good person, and he must have done a lot of hurtful things before." ”
Lin Hongyi took the merchant group to the inn, Xiao Chen took the head to the official mansion, and the two agreed to meet in the restaurant for a while.
Dong'an City has a city in its name, but it is actually just a county-level unit, and the highest official in the government is a county order.
This county magistrate was very happy, and after verifying that the four heads were indeed the four masters of the Lingshan horse thief, he immediately paid Xiao Chen a reward of 1,200 taels of silver, and happily wrote a report.
Fushun Restaurant, in the most luxurious private room on the second floor, Lin Hongyi sat on the main seat, with an empty seat in his left hand, and his daughter Lin Die, cousin Lin Benjian and others sitting on his right hand.
Lin Benjian looked at the table of delicacies in front of him, and smacked his tongue: "It is worthy of being the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the exquisiteness of the dishes is at least one grade higher than that of our Yangzhou." But cousin, isn't it too extravagant to spend such a big price to hire a milky and dry boy? ”
Fushun Restaurant is the best restaurant in Dong'an City, and a table of dishes and drinks costs at least a hundred taels of silver, which is indeed too luxurious for the Lin business group, which has always been thrifty.
"A mere hundred and ten taels of silver, it's nothing. Lin Hongyi said generously that Xiao Chen helped twice in a row, and just such a meal was not enough to express his gratitude to him.
Lin Hongyi pouted: "Shopkeeper, I can remind you that that kid is really not a good stubble, it's better for us to stay away from him." I think he's also beating the idea of our batch of goods, it's tens of millions of things, who wouldn't be blushing?"
The people in the room didn't know, in fact, Xiao Chen was already standing at the door, and when he heard Lin Benjian's slander of himself, he smiled coldly, and said in his heart, This is not interesting for you, the master wants to ruin your reputation.
