"Tax collection is a matter for the imperial court and the county magistrate, why did this old man Niu interfere?" Ye Sheng was curious, and the cross-eyed laughed and said, "County Magistrate Ma? Ask him! Does he dare to ask about my master? My lord's tax collection is a legal thing, after all, at the beginning, the county magistrate Ma agreed! ”

I heard from the officials of the six doors that the county magistrate Ma came to Lichun Courtyard this morning, but he didn't show up until now, presumably, he was huddled in which room and eavesdropping, right? Ye Sheng looked around the Lichun Courtyard, and then sighed slowly, "However, such a beautiful little girl is not worth being so ruthless, right?" ”

"It's just a who sells herself, is it possible that I still have to bend down and salute her?" Cross-eyed smiled disdainfully, "This young man, I must take this girl away!" When I go back, I will report to the lord and let the lord invite you to the house for a good drink! ”

"You don't need to press me with Niu Fugui's name." Ye Sheng shook his head disdainfully, his body lightly stepped on the two-inch-wide handle of the big horizontal knife, and his figure was straight, "There are many thieves and evil gentry in Longgang, this is not an improper style, it must be rectified!" Let Longgang thrive and be happy! ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and several of them laughed crookedly, and one of them even bent over and said, "It's up to you?" Boy, you have a bit of kung fu, but can you beat our master? My lord can stone you to death with money! "So rich? Ye Sheng's eyes lit up, it seemed that he was going to make Niu Fugui full of beheadings and then confiscate his property!

"The boat is better than the people, the water is better than the Lishu, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat." Dugu Aoxue, who had been silent, finally spoke, his hands behind his back, and his momentum was high, "I don't believe that in my city, there can still be unscrupulous people like you doing evil, covering the sky with one hand!" ”

"Your city? This is my lord's territory! A tall man laughed sharply, cross-eyed, thoughtful, frowned slightly, looked at Dugu Aoxue, knowing that this person had an extraordinary background, so he hugged his fists and asked, "I haven't asked yet, this young man is ......?"

Ye Sheng left the horizontal knife on his toes, and his body was as light as a swallow and jumped down, his face was full of grin, "Cold as ice, cold as snow, the city lord Dugu is proud of snow!" A few people were frightened and changed, the news of Dugu Aoxue's defeat of Ji Qiang's power had already spread to all parts of the south, a few days ago, his own master was still muttering that he wanted to be friends with Dugu Aoxue, and now it seems that the person who came is not good!

"It turned out to be the Dugu City Lord, and the small few people have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, so they say goodbye!" Dou cross-eyed gritted his teeth, lowered his head and immediately turned away, and the remaining few family members of the Niu Mansion also left without hesitation. Ye Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he had bluffed them, otherwise, if he really started, he would have suffered a loss.

"You're so embarrassed to stand there and watch!" Ye Sheng glared at Dugu Aoxue dissatisfiedly, "I can be regarded as understanding your cold as ice and snow!" Dugu Aoxue smiled lightly, raised her heroic sword eyebrows, and stared at Ye Sheng with bright eyes, "I just want to see when your duplicitous ability will change!" ”

"When am I duplicitous? I've always had one thing to say! "Then, can you help rectify the matter of Longgang?" "Gotta help! This cow is rich and rich, and he is so arrogant! I should have broken his leg and confiscated his property!" While several people were talking, they found that Xiao Cuihua had knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes, "Thank you two for saving your life!" If there are no two of them, I am afraid that the slave family will be tortured to death by him in every way when they enter Niu Fugui's mansion today, and they will never be able to come out again. ”

"Hey! It is my duty to be chivalrous and righteous, and it is my goal to help others. Ye Sheng bent down to help Xiao Cuihua and said with a straight face, "Even if it's a chicken, it's dignified!" "Eun Gong!" Xiao Cuihua was moved to throw herself into Ye Sheng's arms and wept bitterly. Dugu Aoxue next to her saw this scene, and stopped talking, but gave Ye Sheng a roll of his eyes in disgust.

Mother Liu, who was in a panic, was a little frightened, she glanced at Dugu Aoxue cautiously, and then leaned over and said, "The lord of Dugu City is famous, and the slave family has been admired for a long time, thank you for today's events, thank ......" "If you want to thank me!" Ye Sheng smiled, hugged Xiao Cuihua's smooth waist, and said, "After all, I was standing up for you just now, this mother Sang, Niu Fugui, this kid, is it really so powerful?" ”

"I'll answer that question!" A trembling voice came from upstairs, Ye Sheng and Dugu Aoxue looked up, only to see a middle-aged man in a red shirt rushing downstairs, and then bent down and knelt in front of Dugu Aoxue, "Longgang County Magistrate Ma Bangde, ask Dugu City Lord for help!" ”

Ye Sheng couldn't help but sigh, a good county magistrate can be like this, presumably, he has suffered a lot of grievances! Ma Bond was a bald, greasy fellow with a long beard around his mouth, and a white donkey face that seemed to have four eyebrows.

Ma Bond set up a private room in Lichun Courtyard, and Xiao Cuihua went back to the house to rest when she was ill, and only Liu's mother and two other cute Peugeot girls from Lichun Courtyard were pairing wine. Dugu Aoxue doesn't drink, and no one dares to persuade him to drink, so he held a cup of tea and stared at Ma Bond intently, "You are the county magistrate of Longgang?" ”

"Yes, or rather, the newly appointed county magistrate!" Ma Bangde smiled reluctantly, very aggrieved, "Xia Guan has been in office in Longgang for less than three weeks, but he has already suffered humiliation!" "What about the previous county magistrate?" Ye Sheng was curious, because the county magistrate would not move for three or five years.

"Zhang Mazi, the previous county magistrate, wrote a memo one night asking the imperial court to send troops to manage Longgang to rectify the thieves, but he died the next day." Ma Bond raised his head and drank all the Huadiao wine, showing sadness, "And the letter that has been sent out has been returned by the family of Niufu." So, after ten days, I am the new county magistrate of Longgang! ”

"This Niu Fugui really doesn't know how to hide things, so arrogant!" Ye Sheng pursed his lips and sighed, this Niu Fugui even dared to kill the county magistrate, it was really no one in his eyes, "Longgang's current taxes are in the hands of Niu Fugui?" Did you hear that you nodded in agreement? ”

Ma Bond smiled bitterly, "This young man, if I don't nod, I'm afraid Longgang will have to change the new county magistrate again!" In order to survive, I can only obey Niu Fugui's arrangement in everything, although Niu Fugui is arrogant, but he is not aggressive. As long as the officials do not interfere in the control of any affairs in Longgang, then we have a way to live. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Bond choked up, "I spent 100,000 taels to buy the official!" Ben is looking for corruption to make some money, who knows that he can't make money even if he kneels! At the point of excitement, Ma Bond knelt down in front of Dugu Aoxue again, "Dugu City Lord, you are here!" There is fairness! I beg you to uphold justice for the lower officials, and return Longgang to a peace! ”

Mother Liu and the two little beauties of Lichun Courtyard beside her also knelt down, pleading and crying, Niu Fugui made Longgang a miserable and smoky miasma, and the people were dying and holding on to a hard life! With a bully like Niu Fugui, there will be no blue sky in Longgang!

"Get up!" Dugu Aoxue stretched out her hand and helped the girl in front of her up, "As the city lord, I'm here for this purpose!" You don't need to be polite! "That's right!" Ye Sheng accosted beside him, picked up a slender girl, touched her little hand, and said righteously, "I came to Longgang with the Dugu City Lord, just to do three things!" Fair, fair, or fucking fair! ”

"Engong is mighty!" After some commotion, the room quieted down, and after a tour of wine, Dugu Aoxue held the teacup and asked slowly, "What is the origin of Niu Fugui, and what does he do at home?" Ma Bond wiped away his tears of grievance and gritted his teeth and said, "This grandson has been cooperating with the younger brother of the city lord Chen Feng to open a mine before, and the iron mine is not far from Longgang. Niu Fugui's family is really rich, and the lackeys of Niu Fu are all following him to eat and drink spicy food, and Niu Fugui still has money to do something, I heard that the prefect and other big and small officials above have also received the benefits of Niu Fugui! ”

"In the imperial court, there are no officials in the capital who have asked about this matter?" Dugu Aoxue frowned unhappily, it could be seen that this Longgang was an iron plate, and it was probably not easy to make it beneficial. Next to him, Ye Sheng ate a slice of sauced beef, and then laughed, "You don't understand this!" Make a windfall in chaos! Chen Feng's brother Chen Jinshan is dead, and although Niu Fugui monopolizes the mine, he must not only make a fortune by relying on this little money! Did you see the clothes worn by those family members in Niufu just now? The satin dress is better than the clothes of me and County Magistrate Ma! The subordinates are so extravagant, how rich do you say that cow is rich! ”

Ye Sheng wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, filled with righteous indignation, "We must severely punish and rectify all the wealth in Niu Fugui's mansion...... All the wicked are brought to justice! Ma Bond sighed, bowed his head and said to Dugu Aoxue, "This young man is right, I have nothing to do during this time, but I am also uncomfortable!" With the Dugu City Lord here today, I will do my best to help the Lone City Lord reshuffle Longgang! ”

Dugu Aoxue nodded calmly, thinking in her heart, "This matter can't be acted impatiently, and it needs to be considered in the long run." "In the world during the day, Ye Sheng and the others did not come out in the wing, although they were in the Qinglou, they did not do anything erosive, but listened to Ma Bangde talk about the atmosphere in Longgang City seriously.

This rich and noble family is entangled, and the best way to use it is to buy it off with money. Longgang has often been in and out of outsiders, but Niu Fugui has been giving soup porridge in the streets and alleys all year round, and these ronins who came to Longgang have eaten Niu Fugui's alms, and it is inevitable that he will lose face. Therefore, few people are in a dilemma with cattle wealth on weekdays.

Niu Fugui and Chen Feng, Chen Jinshan two brothers have a lot of friendship, and later Chen Feng died mysteriously, after the city lord was replaced by Ji Fuli, Niu Fugui became more low-key, but a few days later, Ji Fufu invited the town's businessman boss, claiming that the tax matter would be handed over to Niu Fugui to handle in the future.

Ma Bond was also at the table that day, and in the face of Ji's powerless inquiry, he agreed on the surface, but in his heart he also knew that it was another pair of evil thieves who were embarrassed! There is suffering!

"That's weird! How big is this rich and wealthy financial bribe? Ye Sheng was curious and whispered to Dugu Aoxue, "That Ji is powerless The position of Longgang City Lord was sent by Tang Yan, the king of Lu, since Ji is powerless to nod his head in recognition of the tax matter, then it means that Tang Yan definitely doesn't mind this matter." ”

Dugu Aoxue nodded, she was also curious in her heart, and she couldn't wait to meet this legendary arrogant character, "Don't worry, the means he bought will know sooner or later." Ye Sheng glanced at the noon sun outside and nodded thoughtfully, "Indeed, sooner or later, we will know." ”
