Chapter 298: Big Shot
Yan Tienan, Tang Tiantian and Shi accompanied Cheng Da'an to invite Lang Zhong, who had the best medical skills in the county, to treat the bones of a few injured fast servants, and also bought some fish and meat to distribute to a few families, and left ten taels of silver for each family to pay for the injured workers, so that several families and Cheng Da'an were grateful.
There is no money to catch fast, there is only a subsidy of ten taels of silver a year, which is not enough to support the family, and it all depends on collecting black money to spend the day, Yan Tienan's move not only made Cheng Daan and others gratitude, but also won their trust, so he opened his heart and told the story of the tax and beating in detail.
Lu, Zhang, and Wang are the three most powerful families in the local area, they are connected with each other, instigating and threatening other rich businessmen to refuse to pay taxes, and also violently resist taxes, the county commander Luo Tingfang is also very headache for this, and he does not dare to offend these rich businessmen and heroes to death, so he can only force his subordinates to complete the tax task as soon as possible, and Cheng Daan and other fast officials have become unlucky people who are angry.
It is not surprising that local officials dare not offend those gentry and heroes, a large number of farmland and homeless people without household registration are in the hands of these people, they want to make trouble, officials have to be afraid, without the cooperation of these gentry and heroes, let alone political achievements, I am afraid that they will not even be able to keep the black gauze hat, this is the consequence of a vicious circle for thousands of years, and it is also a habit.
"Uncle Cheng, do you dare to fight?" Yan Tienan asked with a smile.
"The little lady just commands, I have grown up and increased my life, and I will live in a few years, but I will die."
Cheng Daan patted his chest and took this big bet, he was a little catcher who couldn't even support his wife and children for the rest of his life, he was unwilling, as the old saying goes, starve the timid, support the bold, now there is a great opportunity in front of him, how could he miss it, and he admitted it after losing this old life, not to mention that he felt that he had a great chance of winning, and he didn't gamble with a stupid pen.
In fact, Yan Tienan also revealed a lot of news to him, and he knew that the national taxation would definitely encounter resistance, so he would grasp the typical example and make an example, this is an opportunity, grasp it, although it is not Feihuang Tengda, but it is still possible to rise to one or two levels, not to mention that people have assured him.
Cheng Da'an has been a fast catcher for more than 20 years, black and white, and the third-rate nine sects are very popular, and the ability is not considered for the time being, but his eyes are definitely first-class, he suspects that Yan Tienan is not just a small trainee officer in the military, just looking at the temperament of others, it is not something that ordinary big families can raise, and she is also a girl.
It's not for nothing that a woman is a soldier, the famous Qin Liangyu is the only female chief military officer in the Ming Dynasty, the female god of war like a cow pen exists, and there is also a red concubine Niangniang who is in charge of the Phoenix Legion and plays with the Jin Army on the nine sides, but that is an example after all, in short, this woman's background must be good, otherwise, how dare she pat her chest and promise?
There is another main reason why he chose to believe in Yan Tienan, he is an old catcher with no money and no background, and one foot has already stepped into the coffin, Yan Tienan has to spend so much effort and effort to fool him, isn't it too tired?
While they were chatting and talking, Tang Tiantian, who was sitting on the side, kept his head down, wrote on the paper with a pen, and wrote a few pages full.
The seal is two, the envelope is sealed, and after the special seal is affixed, Yan Tienan handed the letter to Cheng Da'an, and asked him to rush to Datong Mansion with his own tokens, and personally hand them over to the head of the Datong Branch of the Imperial Security Bureau and Wang Pu, the chief military officer of Datong Mansion, and then rush back and act at the opportunity.
The predecessor of the Imperial Security Bureau was the notorious Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei had guards everywhere, and the guards were renamed as sub-bureaus, Cheng Daan was shocked, he didn't expect Yan Tienan and Tang Tiantian to have a relationship with Jinyiwei.
Jin Yiwei is notorious, frightening, he is also afraid, but this time it is a good thing, he patted his chest and promised that the letter would be delivered absolutely, he went out of the city overnight, rode an old horse, and rushed to Datong Mansion.
It was dark, and the gate of the county town had long been closed, and it was generally forbidden to open it again, but Cheng Da'an was an old catcher in the county, and he was popular, and the county soldiers guarding the door did not stop him at all, nor did he ask what the reason was, and secretly opened the door to let him go.
Yan Tienan, Tang Tiantian and Shi returned to the inn to rest after sending Cheng Da'an away, and the family members left behind by a few gentlemen followed far behind, and the three of them had already found out, but they didn't take it seriously, and they still wished that those gentlemen would come over tomorrow to make trouble.
Nothing happened this night, and it was all expected by Yan Tienan and Tang Tiantian, those few gentlemen had something to go home in a hurry, and if they wanted to make trouble, they could only wait until after dawn the next day.
Yan Tienan and Tang Tiantian do not plan to report to Datong Mansion for the time being, if possible, the violent tax resistance in Guangchang County can be used as a typical example, the words of the father-in-law are full of these meanings, they all want to share the worries and problems for the father-in-law, and they will naturally not miss it when they meet.
The three of them first had breakfast at a relatively clean noodle shop on the side of the road, and then walked around the street, not only to take a good look at the local lively street market, buy some flavorful snacks to satisfy their hunger, but also to give the few gentlemen yesterday the opportunity to make trouble, to give themselves an excuse to make a fortune, the pit has been dug, and they are waiting for someone to jump.
However, Yan Tienan and Tang Tiantian were disappointed, and the three of them didn't wait for those few gentlemen until their legs were weak, and the few family members who had been following and watching before had been hanging behind them.
For two days in a row, Yan Tienan and Tang Tiantian didn't wait for those gentlemen to come and cause trouble, which made the two of them a little discouraged, but fortunately, Cheng Daan rushed back in the evening of the next day.
"Two little ladies, fortunately, they have fulfilled their mission."
When he rushed to Datong Mansion, he anxiously asked to see Xu Chongyang, director of the Datong Mansion Branch of the Imperial Security Bureau, and showed the token given to him by Yan Tienan, Xu Chongyang's attitude towards him was so good that he couldn't believe it, Xu Chongyang then took him straight into the General Military Mansion to meet the Chief Military Officer Wang Pu, Wang Pu didn't say a word and sent the army over, and he and Xu Chongyang brought the personal guards to the county seat first, which made him firmly believe in his own guess, Yan Tienan and Tang Tiantian's identities are not bad, Even higher than he could have imagined.
"Wang Pu, the chief military officer of Datong, has seen the two princesses."
"Xu Chongyang, the Datong Branch of the Imperial Security Bureau, has seen the two princesses."
Wang Pu and Xu Chongyang both saluted, in order to avoid alarming the people, both of them were dressed in civilian clothes, the difference was only that Xu Chongyang's demeanor was more respectful.
Although Jinyiwei and Dongchang have changed their names to the Imperial Security Bureau, their official positions have changed drastically, and their power is greater than before, the Security Bureau still thinks in their bones that they are the eagle dogs of the Son of Heaven and are only loyal to the Son of Heaven, and the others depend on the situation.
Although Yan Tienan and Tang Tiantian are not related to the royal family, they are the righteous daughters adopted by the Son of Heaven, and they are favored by Empress Yi'an and Empress Zhou, and they are given the title of princess. What's more, the two women are not only trainee officers of the Imperial Intelligence Service, but also have temporary positions in the Security Bureau, although they are only lieutenant-level officers, but who dares to treat them as ordinary petty officers? Xu Chongyang's attitude towards them is naturally very different.
Yan Tienan and Tang Tiantian politely returned the salute, they didn't expect that Wang Pu, the chief military officer of Datong, would personally lead the troops over, this battle was a bit big.
Cheng Da'an on the side opened his mouth wide, and the public ...... Her Royal Highness the Princess?
