"My lord, my subordinates and others went to collect taxes, and they encountered a difficult one." Several officials who had been sent to collect taxes came back to report to Lu Xuan in despair.

Lu Xuan was surprised, these people under his command were so strong in martial arts that they dared to obstruct official business in front of them?

"Who is so blind." Lu Xuan asked casually.

Only then did the official inform: "It is the Luo family in the north of the city, it seems to be a businessman, relying on power and power to shirk repeatedly, and the subordinates keep in mind the teachings of the adults, and dare not use force with the people, but it is really unreasonable to be reasonable." ”

As he was talking, several officials over there also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, not only are they unreasonable, but they also turned us away, and a few subordinates are lying at the door, forcing us to die and not allow us to step into half a step." ”

Lu Xuan was annoyed when he heard this: "How can this be true, in broad daylight, there is such a arrogant person, which family is surnamed Luo, can you know the name of the head of the family?" ”

The official thought for a moment before he vaguely remembered: "The head of the house seems to be called, Luo Yujin, yes, Luo Yujin." ”

"Luo Yujin?" Lu Xuan thought about it carefully, isn't this familiar name the old man who clashed with her head-on in Wangchun Tower that day?

On that day in Wangchun Tower, Lao Bao inadvertently recorded the identity of Lu Xuan's county order, and Luo Yujin probably heard it clearly.

"Was he deliberately avenging for the events of that day?" Lu Xuan secretly speculated.

hesitated for a while, so I had to call Zhao Qingfeng, who was also a party, first.

Zhao Qingfeng has just taken office, and he has been busy getting familiar with the rules of the county government in the past two days, so he did not go to collect taxes with several officials this time, and naturally he has not heard of Luo Yujin's affairs.

Seeing that Lu Xuan suddenly informed himself that he was going out to do something, Zhao Qingfeng couldn't help but be stunned: "The subordinates are still young, my lord, this is ......"

Lu Xuan explained: "Brother Zhao, do you still remember Luo Yujin, a wealthy businessman who fought in Wangchun Tower that day? ”

Zhao Qingfeng nodded, the bastard who bullied Qing Pei, he naturally remembered it clearly.

"It's him, today he shirks taxes in every possible way, and the officials are not good at using force to force, I guess he probably deliberately took revenge for the events of that day, so I want to ask Brother Zhao to go with me." Lu Xuan said.

Only then did Zhao Qingfeng understand: "It seems that this husband is still quite difficult, since this is the case, his subordinates will go with the adults." ”

After that, the two immediately went to Luo's house in the north of the city.

At that time, Luo Yujin was crossing Erlang's legs and drinking wine leisurely in the courtyard.

"Master, the lord is not good, the county order, the county commander personally brought people here!" The guards at the gate came in a panic.

Luo Yujin looked like he had expected it, but he waved his hand disapplausively: "Don't worry, let her wait, master, it's not too late for me to finish drinking this pot of wine." ”

Outside the door, Lu Xuan, Zhao Qingfeng and others were coming towards Luo Mansion in a menacing manner.

"The county commander personally inspects and tells you to come out!" Zhao Qingfeng pretended to be fierce and vicious, and scolded the doorman of the Luo family.

I had just seen Luo Yujin, the guard was originally afraid of the county order's visit, but at this moment, he was a lot more hardened when he received the instructions of his master.

"Our lord has something important to do, and if Lu Xianling is in a hurry, I'm afraid he will have to wait first." The Luo family guard said proudly.

Zhao Qingfeng lost his temper in an instant: "Hey, I said that you are a dog who fights people, our county lord came to the door in person, how dare you slack off even if your lord has a big matter?" ”

It's okay not to say this, but the guard didn't get annoyed when he opened his mouth, but actually looked at Zhao Qingfeng with a look of contempt and disgust: "I see no difference between you and me." ”

What does this mean, does it mean that Zhao Qingfeng is also a dog with human power, a fox and a fake tiger?

Zhao Qingfeng was so angry when he heard this, he was about to roll up his sleeves and step forward to reason with him, but he was stopped by Lu Xuan.

"Well, aren't we officials just to be sympathetic to the people's feelings? Since the head of the Luo family has something important to do, why wait? Lu Xuan said.

In fact, the yardstick for judging good and evil was handed over to the people behind him who watched the excitement.

Seeing that Lu Xuan ordered to stop it, Zhao Qingfeng had no choice but to reluctantly swallow this evil breath and wait for someone to "drive" with him.

Lu Xuan was wearing an official uniform at this time, followed by a group of officials, and he looked extremely dazzling in broad daylight.

Luo Yujin closed the door and disappeared, so Lu Xuan took a group of officials to wait outside the Luo Mansion Gate, and half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the people who should come did not show up, but attracted more visitors.

Seeing that the crowd had almost gathered, Lu Xuan spoke: "What difficulties did the Luo family encounter?" She asked the doorman, and there was a hint of "sympathy" in her words.

The doorman could hear the meaning of Lu Xuan's words, and instantly lost his good face: "Our master is good, who in the whole Jiangnan doesn't know that our family's business is booming." ”

The guard's words were full of ostentation, and the voice was loud enough for the people present to hear it clearly.

Lu Xuan suddenly recorded his original intention: "Since the Luo family's business is so smooth, why can't they even pay a few taels of taxes from the government?" Is it unwilling to pay or is it unable to pay in trouble? ”

Lu Xuan has nothing to answer at all, if the doorman answers the former, then everyone present will see the ugly face of the Luo family, if he chooses the latter, then who else dares to trade with a broken businessman?

Hearing this, the people present were waiting to ask the Luo family for an explanation, and for a while they echoed Lu Xuan's words, and the doorman was forced to be speechless for a while.

Until I heard an arrogant voice in the courtyard: "Who said that my Luo family shirked taxes?" ”

It was Luo Yujin's voice, Lu Xuan almost died at the hands of this person in Wangchun Tower that night, so he remembered everything about him clearly.

Lu Xuan immediately looked in the direction where the voice came from, and the person who came was indeed Luo Yujin.

It's just that before Lu Xuan could speak, Luo Yujin had already pretended to be flattering and said to her: "Yo, it turned out to be the county commander, and the villain is far away, and the villain is far away, and he is far away!" ”

Lu Xuan is most disgusted with these hypocritical styles, especially from such a vulgar person, which is simply an insult to these gentlemen's gifts left by literati and ink writers.

"I don't know what happened to Lu County's order in person?" Before Lu Xuan could ask, Luo Yujin pretended to be stupid and relied on the account first.

But don't think that you can escape in this way, Lu Xuan simply cooperated: "This official listened to what the official who collected the tax said, Master Luo seems to be planning to shirk this tax, but is there such a thing?" ”

Hearing this, Luo Yujin shook his head and denied without saying a word: "Lord Lu can't say anything nonsense, if someone with ulterior motives listens to it, it will bring trouble to Luo." ”

Have an axe to grind? According to Lu Xuan, the person with the most ulterior motives here is right in front of him.

Lu Xuan was not quick to speak, and still looked gentle: "Oh? It seems that the official has wronged Master Luo. ”

Hearing Lu Xuan's words, the few officials behind him who had just been deflated in Luo's house suddenly couldn't stand: "My lord, don't listen to his nonsense, he just ...... clearly."

One of them was talking, but Lu Xuan gestured for him to stop, and instead looked at Luo Yujin with a deep face.

"Since all this is a misunderstanding, it's good to talk about it, it just so happens that the official is also here, since Master Luo has no intention of shirking the tax, he will pay it, and it will save the official from ordering someone to take it."

Lu Xuan completely forgot about the previous matter, and it was only after Luo Yujin admitted that he had never had the idea of tax evasion, and so many people could hear it clearly, so they took this opportunity to ask him for it.

But Lu Xuan underestimated this vulgar person in his eyes.

I saw Luo Yujin couldn't help but sneer, and turned to pretend to be helpless.

"It's not a secret, Luo really has no intention of hindering the adult from performing official duties, but Luo's taxes have always been collected by the Shangshu of the Imperial Military Department, and it is really inconvenient to hand them over to the adult."

I thought that Luo Yujin was just an ordinary businessman who was greedy for money, but I didn't expect him to be able to contact the military department.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but be surprised, taxes in various places have always been collected by the branches and governments one by one for the next year's finances, when was it handed over to the six ministries to intervene?

Besides, even if the responsibility of collecting taxes is really handed over to the six ministries, it should be in charge of the household department, so what does it have to do with the military department?

After thinking about it like this, Lu Xuan spoke: "Ordinary people's taxes are collected by the local government offices, why do you hand them over to the military department?" ”

When Luo Yujin heard this, he suddenly raised his toes: "My Luo family has always been like this, if you want to know the reason, go and ask the military department Shangshu soon?" ”

Isn't this obviously embarrassing Lu Xuan, she is in a small county town in the south of the Yangtze River, but the secretary of the military department is far away in Shengjing, how can she ask?

But before Lu Xuan could refute, Luo Yujin humiliated her first: "Oh, I forgot, the county magistrate is a seven-rank magistrate, and he can't ask about the second grade of the imperial court." ”

As the saying goes, officials crush people to death at the first level, but now this military department is a full year older than Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan also had a headache for a while, so he could only tolerate it for the time being: "Since this is the case, the official will find out this matter first, if what Master Luo said is true, the official will not pursue it, but if there is anything wrong with this, I will ask you to do it yourself." ”

After speaking, Lu Xuan had no choice but to take everyone back to the mansion first.

On the way, Zhao Qingfeng, who had just been humiliated and held his breath, couldn't bear it anymore.

"My lord, did you just let him go?" Zhao Qingfeng said indignantly.

Lu Xuan just sighed: "Otherwise? Everyone has moved out of the military department, and I can't help but measure myself with a mere seven-grade county order. ”

Lu Xuan's words are actually a good man who does not suffer immediate losses, but when it comes to Zhao Qingfeng's ears, he is quite weak.

He was suddenly even more annoyed: "How can an adult be so indecisive and timid, how can he achieve great things?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Xuan suddenly stopped: indecisive, timid? In my previous life, if I hadn't been bold and impulsive, how could I have ended up like that?

Thinking of this, all kinds of things in his previous life suddenly lingered in Lu Xuan's mind.

Seeing Lu Xuan's solemn face, Xu thought that his disrespectful words had angered her, so Zhao Qingfeng stopped.
