"Taxes? What does this say? Shen Yanzhi asked.

"You are outsiders, our mountain is high and the emperor is far away, everything is Lord Hu's final say, in just a few years, there are many famous people who raise taxes every year, we ordinary people, it's hard! No, many people went as mountain bandits, or ran away. The shopkeeper frowned at the mention of taxes.

Shen Yanzhi and Su Jin glanced at each other, shocked, but neither spoke again.

The shopkeeper pointed diagonally to the opposite side, "Some time ago, an official died in the opposite building, and the official ordered that as long as it was a young man, he would be arrested and tortured severely." So this Yizhou City has become what it is now. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up a long string of keyrings, which made a "bell" and led the way.

"Ever since I grew up here, I don't have a lot of legs and feet, and I don't know where to run. Don't go out at night, it's not safe. Your rooms are connected to each other, and you are at your own convenience. With that, he limped downstairs.

Everyone responded one after another, planning carefully in the room.

Shen Yanzhi found that there are many kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes here, and there must be something greasy in this. "I suspect there's something wrong with the governor."

Su Jin nodded, "In previous years, the taxes levied on the people were only rice tax and poll tax. But from the shopkeeper's words, there are many more taxes in Yizhou, and what new taxes, year-end taxes, and silver taxes are simply unheard of. ”

Lu Weixin didn't know much about these things, but he also saw the desolation of the people of Yizhou, and he was very angry: "Let's tie up the old man of the governor and take it back to the emperor." ”

Shen Yanzhi waved his hand, "Don't be impulsive, there is no evidence at the moment, it's just our speculation." And—" He paused, raised an eyebrow, and continued, "Who told you the governor was an old man?" ”

"What is the governor?" Rong Jin took an apple out of nowhere and nibbled on it.

Shen Yanzhi explained: "This governor's name is Hu Jie, and he is in his early thirties. ”

Chen Li said: "Lord Shen, the lower official has an idea. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Chen Li said: "It's better for me to go to the governor's mansion at night tonight to see if there are any clues." It's not too late for us to make plans. ”

Before Shen Yanzhi could think about it, Rongjin's eyes lit up, she hadn't done such an exciting thing yet, and hurriedly said, "I'll go, I'll go!" I'm doing it! ”

"Don't make a fuss!" Shen Yanzhi's face sank instantly, should she be playing? "You're honest and stay at the inn."

Rong Jin analyzed it and said: "I went with Commander Chen, there is a reason for this. First, this governor's mansion must be very big, if you want Commander Chen to find it alone, I'm afraid you can find out any clues until dawn, this second, I am agile and strong in martial arts, if Commander Chen is caught, I can also rescue him. ”

The green tendons on Chen Li's forehead jumped, and he kept thinking silently in his heart, I won't be caught!

Only Lu Weixin nodded approvingly, "Well said!" ”

Shen Yanzhi couldn't resist her, so he had to nod in agreement. But she had to promise that if she was discovered, she would run quickly, nothing else mattered, and with her kung fu, it would not be a problem to escape.

Rong Jin agreed.

When night fell, Rong Jin changed into a night coat and gently swept over the eaves with Chen Li.

Everything – there are always surprises.

"Why isn't this yet?!" Rong Jin whispered to stop Chen Li, how long has it been gone, and the time is enough to go back and forth in Yizhou City.

Chen Li also felt that it was too long, so he hurriedly took out a map. "This—" Chen Li pointed with his hand on the map, "the governor's mansion we are going to is here." ”

Rong Jin looked up at the sky, "I know it's here, but where are we on this map now?" ”

Chen Li: "-Look for it again." ”

The night was so dark that there was not even a man in the market. By the moonlight, the two could barely see the lines outlined on the map, and for a long time, Rong Jin pointed to a place and said excitedly: "Found it!" Here! ”

Chen Li took a closer look, "That's right, it's here!" Then we went the other way and had to turn back. ”

The two of them tossed for most of the night, and finally lay on the eaves of the governor's mansion at this moment.

Rong Jin stretched out his hand and pointed to the left, meaning that she was in charge of the left, Chen Li went to the right, and then Rong Jin stretched out five fingers, meaning to evacuate during the fifth watch, Chen Li nodded, indicating that he understood, and the two moved separately.

The governor's mansion is heavily guarded, even if it is late at night, there are government soldiers patrolling the night, Rong Jinxin said, this governor's mansion is really big, I don't know which one is his bedroom, so I can only try my luck.

She walked lightly on the roof, carefully lifting a piece of tiled eaves, and a glimmer of light came out, which was a maid's room.

Pink-clad maid: "Have you heard?" The eldest lady and the second lady quarreled today. ”

The girl in Tsing Yi immediately put down the work in her hand, and the flowers stopped embroidering: "What's the matter?" Let's hear it. ”

"At noon, the eldest lady and the second lady met in the garden, and they were still harmonious, but within a moment, they quarreled."

The pink-clad maid came closer, and continued, "Do you know why they are arguing?" ”

The girl in Tsing Yi was very interested, and pulled the corner of her clothes and urged: "Come on, I am in the front yard today, where do I know the news of the backyard." ”

"Last night was fifteen, according to the rules, the adults should go to the eldest lady's room, the eldest lady dressed up carefully, and waited for the adults to come with joy."

"And then? Didn't the adults go? ”

"My lord also has a big lady in my heart, and I remember it in my heart! As soon as I returned to the house, I went to the eldest lady's room! You know what? ”

"The second lady is broken?"

"That's not it! The second lady is waiting on the way to the eldest lady's room! Dressed like a coquette, the adults were hooked to the point that their souls were gone. The little maid said with righteous indignation.

"Tut-tut, fox!"

"So you think, are you angry that this is cut off at the door of your own house, and you are not angry when it rests on you? Today, the eldest lady wanted to endure it, but who knows, the second lady even made a provocative statement. ”

The eldest lady immediately didn't care about any manners, she went up and beat her, and she used all kinds of tricks. It is said that the bunch of girls next to her can't pull it, and the second lady's face is scratched! ”

"What did the second lady say? On weekdays, the eldest lady cares about her demeanor the most, but this time she was provoked to be like this? ”

The pink-clad maid beckoned her to come over, leaning close to her ear and whispering. After speaking, the two of them blushed and leaned back with laughter.

Rongjin was on the roof, only hearing what "neck-crossing" and "nephrite", she put her ears closer, but she still couldn't hear clearly, she pouted helplessly, and she didn't let people listen to all of them.

It seems that this Lord Hu is still a womanizer. After listening to the corner, she gently covered the rubble, jumped up, and jumped onto the eaves next to her.
