Chapter 128: A Place
"Dugu City Lord, please stay in the mansion tonight!" Walking in the alley, Ma Bond wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and pleaded, "You two also heard it, that Boss Niu is threatening to kill me!" "Is he really lawless to this extent?" Ye Sheng was curious, from ancient times to the present, it has been officials who bully people, when will it be the turn of businessmen to bully officials?
"yes, yes! The previous county magistrate, Zhang Mazi, died in the government! Eighteen officials were killed! This cow boss can do anything! Ma Bond regretted it when he thought of being targeted by Niu Fugui, he had nothing to do, he knew that he would be a grandson obediently, at least, he wouldn't die! As soon as you die, you no longer have the power to create a character resurrection!
"In that case, then I'll bother in the house." Dugu Aoxue nodded, although it was easier for the three of them to be eradicated by Niu Fugui when they gathered together, but Dugu Aoxue believed that Niu Fugui did not have this opportunity. Ma Bond was very happy, with the help of the two masters, Dugu Aoxue and Ye Sheng, he could sit back and relax, "Then the two of you will live in the mansion from now on!" Just now available! In order to overthrow the evil force of Niu Fugui, I am willing to help! ”
Anyway, it's already torn up, so it's better to be ruthless! Overthrowing Niu Fugui is said so lightly, but Longgang is full of Niu Fugui's minions, and it is not an easy thing to bulldoze him. Dugu Aoxue pondered, and then asked, "County Magistrate Ma, the people in Longgang City are very dissatisfied with Niu Fugui, are they?" ”
"Of course!" Ma Bangde nodded again and again, "Niu Fugui arbitrarily collects taxes and is rampant and domineering in Longgang, and the people dare not speak out." Dugu Aoxue pondered while walking, if he killed Niu Fugui directly, it would not be a difficult matter, but if a Niu Fugui died, there were still thousands of Niu Fugui.
How to hand over the power of Longgang management to the county magistrate Ma is the most important. Dugu Aoxue showed a smile and said, "Set up a banquet for me tonight and invite the people of the city to come as guests." "Dugu Aoxue is in a high position, naturally he is not a low-key person, he wants to tell the people of Longgang a news, that is, as soon as Dugu Aoxue comes, Longgang will have a blue sky and a red sun!
"Yes, I'll do it right away!" Ma Bond didn't have much confidence, and understood that Dugu Aoxue wanted to condense the mourning people into a rope, but what big things could a group of ordinary people do? Ye Sheng's eyes rolled, and he immediately smiled and Dugu Aoxue whispered a few words, and then turned around and left.
The teahouse inside the north gate of Longgang is still depressed and deserted. Ye Sheng had been helping here for a while, and on the day he returned, this small teahouse was familiar, and the sad face of the teahouse owner Li Wen was still so obscene. It's just that Ye Sheng, who is wearing a human skin mask, is no longer the handsome guy with fair and small eyes.
Li Wenzheng, the owner of the teahouse, sat on a wooden bench and sighed as he looked at the deserted teahouse, and looked at Ye Sheng, who had a rough face and was not angry and arrogant, walked in, and the owner of the teahouse immediately got up with a smile, "Is the guest officer a person?" Please sit down, please take a seat! Drink something! Ye Sheng took out his purse, took out ten taels of silver from dozens of silver tickets, and said, "Let's have a pot of green tea." ”
The green tea was quickly served, Ye Sheng poured two cups of green tea, and warmly invited Li Wen to take a seat, "The boss's business is not good?" "Isn't it?" Li Wen drank all the green tea, and then sighed, "Longgang has changed hands one after another, and it is turbulent, and there are few people who come to drink tea with nothing to do!" This brother is born and comes to Longgang for the first time? ”
"That's right, I came with the Dugu City Lord and wanted to do some small business here." Ye Sheng rested his hands on the wooden table and smiled gently, "I don't know how profitable it is to buy and sell here!" "Hey, that's not going to work!" Li Wen was startled, and after looking around, he whispered to Ye Sheng, "Brother, my brother advises you, don't do business in Longgang." ”
"Oh?" Ye Sheng pretended to be surprised and smiled, "Could it be that there are man-eating tigers in Longgang?" "Tigers only eat people occasionally, but people eat thousands of people!" Li Wen clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "There is a rich man in Longgang who covers the sky with one hand, accumulates wealth and rewards miserly, and exploits taxes from us businessmen, like cramps and bones, there is no way to live at all!" ”
Ye Sheng covered his mouth in surprise, "There is still such a thing?" Does the yamen care? Can't you resist either? "The new county magistrate is as timid as a mouse, and he doesn't meddle at all. Niu Fugui is not only rich, but also powerful. There are a lot of thugs in the mine and in Longgang City, and they will kill people if they don't agree with each other! We, the common people, are all ordinary people, how dare we resist the squeak. ”
"It's so domineering!" Ye Sheng was stunned, and then filled with righteous indignation, "Then I and the city lord will not sit idly by!" When Li Wen heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly poured tea for Ye Sheng and said, "Brother, what are you talking about is Dugu Aoxue?" He's already in Longgang? ”
"That's right, the city lord and I are here this time just to take office. The defeated Ji was unable to take over the Dugu City Lord of Jiangnan and Longgang, and he would definitely not sit idly by and ignore a bully like Niu Fugui who harmed the people! Ye Sheng drank all the green tea, then got up with a smile and patted Li Wen's shoulder, "The city lord is here, and the blue sky is there!" ”
When Li Wenzheng was excited and couldn't help himself, a few people came in from outside the teahouse. Groups of three or five clogged up this teahouse. Ye Sheng knew them, when he was working here, they were the group of people who came in to collect taxes in a domineering manner, they were originally Chen Jinshan's people, but now it seems that the master has been replaced by Niu Fugui.
"Li Wen, this month's tax money!" The ruffian at the head held a piece of grass in his mouth, buckled his nose and said, "It's the end of the month again, you know!" "Good!" Li Wen showed a bright smile, glanced at a few people meaningfully, and then went to rummage through the cabinets. Ye Sheng sat there calmly and asked curiously, "How much tax does a teahouse charge?" ”
"One thousand taels! Cheap it! The leader of the ruffian sat opposite Ye Sheng with a smile and poured himself a cup of tea, "Lichun Courtyard and other places will charge 10,000 taels!" "The teahouse is not doing well, but it still has to pay a tax of 1,000 taels.
Sure enough, it's a huge profit! Ye Sheng shook his head with a smile and asked, "I remember, the Central Plains tax is not so high, right?" "That's right! Not high at all. Li Wen walked back with a smile and slapped the usual silver on the table, "According to the tax rate, I only need to pay five taels of silver for one hundred taels in my small teahouse." No, two dogs, this is this month's tax. ”
"I used to call me a dog, but now I call me a second dog?" Ergou slapped the table and got up, brushing the silver taels off the table, "It's only fifty taels here, you send it away!" Seeing that these five people were about to make a move, Li Wen shrank timidly and hid behind Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng got up with a smile and said, "Could it be that a few friends didn't listen to Niu Fugui say that since today, the matter of taxation has been returned to County Magistrate Ma?" So it stands to reason that these fifty taels are not yours either! Ergou sneered and pulled out a machete from his waist, "Fart!" Just Ma Bond's grandson! Dare to ask for the return of taxation from my master! ”
The second dog is used to bullying people, and he wants to cut people without saying a word. Li Wen staggered in fright, ducked back and sat on the ground. Seeing that he was holding a machete and slashing at him, Ye Sheng's figure did not retreat but advanced, and he didn't need much strength, and his fingers poked the numb tendons under his right arm. In an instant, the second dog's hand loosened, the machete fell to the ground, and the entire right arm was sore.
"It wasn't County Magistrate Ma who requested, but the new city lord Dugu Aoxue came out to persuade Niu Fugui." Ye Sheng put his hands behind his back and smiled indifferently, "This Longgang, it's not up to you to have the final say, in the future, pick up your tail and be a man!" "Dugu Aoxue's name spread far and wide, as soon as Ergou and the others heard that the new city lord had arrived in Longgang, their expressions changed, and after they were timid and panicked, they snorted coldly, turned around and fled without saying a word. Dugu Aoxue can't afford to provoke them, this kind of big man, they have to find Master Niu to come forward!
Seeing that Ergou and others, who had been bullying him for half a year, fled into the wilderness, Li Wen got up, looked up to the sky and laughed three times, "God has eyes!" Longgang breaks the fog, the blue sky is red! ”
"You mean, Ma Bond and Dugu Aoxue feasted many vendors in the city?" Niu Fugui smiled and admired the picture of the lady he bought in the study, stared intently at the chest of the woman in the painting, and asked Huang Xiaogui, "They all went?" ”
Huang Xiaogui bent down and nodded, "Yes, master, Mother Liu from Lichun Courtyard, Boss Li from the teahouse, Boss Sun from the pawnshop and others also went to Boss Huang's restaurant to make an appointment, these rabbit cubs are really the opposite!" "Hey, it's fine." Niu Fugui seemed to smile, "This Dugu Aoxue really wants to do a big thing?" I just don't know how a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimp can move me? ”
Niu Fugui carefully rolled up the picture scroll and put it on the table, touched the rough chest hair on his chest, and smiled honestly, "In this case, let's also go and eat!" Huang Xiaogui nodded suddenly, smiled gloatingly, and immediately went out to arrange for eighteen thugs, and four masters gathered in the front yard to wait!
Niu Fugui's many evil deeds have already aroused public anger in Longgang, and after Dugu Aoxue came forward and made a passionate speech with the county magistrate Ma, everyone worked together to make a determination to eradicate Niu Fugui. "I can't wait to rape all the concubines in Niu Fugui's mansion!" "Hey, that's all you can do? If you want me to say, leave me a bowl of wine, and I will go out now to remove the head of Niu Fugui, and when I come back, the wine in this bowl will be warm! "Don't use the allusion of Wen Jiu to kill Huaxiong, don't use it to pretend to force Boss Li!" If only I had! I set fire to his mansion and burned them all to death! ”
The more people talked, the happier they became, wishing that the cow would die, but as they screamed and roared, everyone's voices gradually weakened. Because, they saw a group of uninvited guests appear at the door of the restaurant. Headed by Niu Fugui, who was wearing a leather single coat and loose trousers, showing his chest and breasts, and smiling but not smiling.
The crowd was like a dumb man eating coptis, and although his mouth was open, it was difficult to speak. County Magistrate Ma coughed in fright, and couldn't wait to lie on the table. Dugu Aoxue, the leader, smiled indifferently and sat motionless on the round bench, "It turns out that Boss Niu is here, please take a seat." ”
