Chapter 255: Bad Intentions

"Your Majesty, we've arrived." Helian Jinrong turned back softly.

"Jin Rong, from now on, you should call me Jin Gongzi, don't be wrong." Although there are no outsiders around, there is no guarantee that no one is eavesdropping in the dark, so everything should be careful.

"Yes, Jin Rong knows his mistake." Helian Jinrong gently pursed his thin lips and lowered his head.

"Jin Gongzi, this son is hungry, let's go eat something first." Seeing that Jin Lingluo was a little displeased, Lan Baobao opened his mouth to break the deadlock.

"Okay, listen to you." Jin Lingluo looked at the innocent blue baby, and felt a little relieved in his heart, and felt that he was too harsh, and then pulled out a soft smile.

"Wow, it's really prosperous here, not much worse than the capital." The blue baby who was subdued by Jin Lingluo and got out of the carriage saw this bustling street and sighed.

The scene in front of me is harmonious, I really can't see that it is what the black tiger said, the blue baby is holding a folding fan and knocking it on the palm of his hand, enjoying this bustling street scene, red lanterns are hung at the door of each store, and the stalls on the side of the road are full of goods.

"Jing Gongzi, look at the three people pulling the carriage below, their faces are a little raw, they must be from other places, let's go meet them?" A son dressed in emerald satin, beside a man in white, spoke ill-intentionedly.

"Okay, it's been a long time since outsiders have come to this Yuyao County, and I happen to be a little irritable, so they can relieve their boredom." The white-clothed boy smiled evilly and opened his mouth slightly.

Then the two of them went downstairs.

"Three sons, please stay." The man shouted behind him, and Jin Lingluo and the others turned around when they heard the voice.

But then he turned back again, and the stranger still ignored the conversation.

"Three sons, since you are definitely not familiar with the environment when you first come here, how about letting Jing lead the way for you." Jing Yan unwillingly ran in front of Jin Lingluo and blocked the way of Jin Lingluo and the others.

"This son, we don't need a guide, please respect yourself." Helian Jinrong stood in front of Jin Lingluo and Lan Baobao, for fear that this person would hurt the emperor and the concubine.

If ordinary people Jing Yan had given up a long time ago, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of the purse on Jin Lingluo's body, which was embroidered with gold thread, he was a person who knew the goods, and knew that the person with the gold thread must have come from the capital, then it was not an ordinary person.

Seeing Helian Jinrong's cold expression, he didn't insist on talking anymore, but followed closely behind Jin Lingluo.

The three of them came to a noodle restaurant and sat down, Jing Yan also followed, and the guy was about to call Jing Gongzi, but Jing Yan waved him back.

"Shopkeeper, come here for three bowls of noodles, as well as your store's signature dishes." Helian Jinrong beckoned his hand to the guy to come over.

"Gotcha." The guy answered, and it didn't take long for the hot meal to be served, and looking at the delicious blue baby on the table, he had long forgotten what it was.

picked up a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, Helian Jinrong was dumbfounded, and Jin Lingluo on the side was not surprised, there are not so many rules when he leaves the palace, so let Lan Baobao be free.

Anyway, in Jin Lingluo's eyes, the blue baby is extremely cute.

Just as the blue baby was eating, a fellow was thrown in and fell to the ground groaning in pain.

"If you don't pay this month's taxes, it seems that it will not work if I don't teach you a lesson." A man in the middle of a military uniform yelled at the people on the ground.

"Our relatives in the capital said that there is no need to pay taxes and silver in the capital, why do we have to pay it every month in this small county, do you still have a royal law?"

The owner of the noodle shop is a straightforward person who says what other merchants want to say but dare not say.

"Hehe, Wang Fa? The emperor is far away, in this Yuyao County, we are the king's law, hahaha. ”

At this time, the soldier looked up to the sky and laughed, which was extremely rampant.

"Ahh Ahem. As soon as it was too late, Helian Jinrong quickly threw a peanut into the man's throat.

The man struggled for a long time before he recovered: "Who is it!" Who is so bold! ”

Seeing that no one responded, the man was anxious and asked people to step forward and pull the boss's daughter out.

"Dad, save me!" The boss's daughter cried to her father.

"Stop!" Jin Lingluo slapped the table heavily, and several officers and soldiers were stunned for a moment.

"Who you are, it has nothing to do with you, you'd better not interfere." The officer and soldier in the middle walked to Jin Lingluo's table with a threatening tone.

"How much does the boss owe you in taxes?" Jin Lingluo wanted to know what the amount of tax he didn't even know.

"Two hangings, and last month's total of four hangings." The officer and soldier pulled his fingers and calculated, and blurted out.

"Then Jin helped him pay him back." As he spoke, he motioned to Helian Jinrong on the side, took out four hanging coins and put them on the corner of the table.

But just as the man stepped forward and stretched out his hand, a dagger was inserted between the man's fingers, and Helian Jinrong pressed against the back of the man's neck, so frightened that the man didn't dare to move, and begged for mercy again and again: "Son, spare your life!" ”

"Commander!" Several officers and soldiers around him wanted to draw their swords and step forward, but they didn't dare to rush forward when they saw this posture.

"A few officials, come and come, I have come out of this money." As he spoke, Jing Yan put the money in the pocket of one of the officers and soldiers.

Seeing that the money had arrived, these officers and soldiers collected their swords, but the commander was still in Jin Lingluo's hands and couldn't leave.

"Ask you! Who told you to collect the tax money? Helian Jinrong tilted the knife.

"Wait, I say, I say." The man said timidly: "It was Master Li who asked us to collect taxes." ”

"Which Lord Lee?" There are a lot of people in the court who call Master Li, and I don't know which one it is.

"It's the county magistrate of Yuyao County, Li Baoquan and Lord Li." It's important to keep your hand, that person can't care so much, so he blurted out directly.

Since Jin Lingluo knew that it was the county master who was looting the people's fat and people's ointment, this person also signaled Helian Jinrong to let it go.

The group hurriedly ran out and went straight to the county government to report the news.

"Thank you Gongzi Jing, thank you sons, come to the rescue." The boss's family knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times to Jing Yan, Jin Lingluo and others.

"Boss, don't do that." Blue Baby hurriedly went over and helped the good-looking woman and the boss and his wife.

"What the hell is going on here, can you tell us?" Blue Baby looked at the woman who had been crying and helped her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and said.

"Let me solve your doubts, my surname is Jing Yan, can I listen to Jing's words."

Jing Yan seized the opportunity to talk to the blue baby, he had seen a lot of beauties in Yuyao County, although it was a man's dress, but Jing Yan only felt that he told himself that she was a woman.

"Oh? Then please take your time. Blue Baby tilted his head and squinted his eyes as the man did.

Jing Yan thought to himself, this woman is a little interesting.

"Well, the county lord here is a man who loves money, not only in Yuyao County, but also in other counties, I heard that he is going to the capital to buy officials, so in the past few days, since he took office, he has deducted the people and collected taxes, don't look at the bustling streets, in fact, they are supported by a few merchants."

Jing Yan straightened his clothes, lightly twisted the folding fan and continued to speak: "My house is actually the largest shop, but our things are not sold to the people, but to the emperor, so this Li County Master does not dare to do anything to our family." ”

is quite proud, isn't he just an imperial businessman, but Jing Yan must not be a traitor if he is so outspoken.

However, when the blue baby heard Jing Yan say that he was an imperial merchant, his eyes lit up with a look of admiration.

"Lin Gongzi shouldn't sit down quickly, the food is going to be cold." Jin Lingluo saw that the blue baby was still chatting happily with this person named Jing Yan, and he was extremely unaccustomed to it, so he opened his mouth to remind the blue baby.

"Oh, Jing Gongzi doesn't mind inviting you to come and sit with you."

Unexpectedly, when the blue baby returned to his seat, he invited Jing Yan to come over, Jin Lingluo took a deep breath, did the blue baby understand that Jin Lingluo was jealous.

"The dish is cold? Dude, go call the kitchen to cook a few more dishes! The boss didn't understand the meaning anymore, and after listening to the order, he ordered to cook a few more dishes and help drive away the difficult officers and soldiers, and he must not be neglected.

That's it, since this Jing Yan said that he is the biggest merchant, even the county magistrate has to look at his family's face, let's listen to what he said.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Since he has said his identity, he should be courteous and exchange names, which is the virtue of Yanguo.

"We're just passing merchants, passing through here, but we can't get used to what these officers and soldiers are doing."

Jin Lingluo gently twisted the folding fan, an elegant Mo Lan was displayed in front of people's eyes, and Jing Yan's eyes lit up, this Mo Lan brushstrokes are definitely from the hands of the master.

"Brother Jin, dare to ask which master is the folding fan in your hand?" Now Jing Yan is not only worried about Jin Lingluo's purse, but also the folding fan in his hand, it is estimated that he is the woman who has taken a fancy to Jin Lingluo.

"By the hand of a master of the capital." Jin Lingluo raised his head slightly arrogantly, isn't this master talking about the emperor himself, but he is quite good at boasting about himself.

The blue baby on the side looked at the two people suspiciously, just a fan, and there are so many doorways.

"Everyone, Jing has lived in Yuyao County since he was a child, and he can be a guide for you." Seeing that Jin Lingluo had no expression on his face, Jing Yan turned to look at the innocent blue baby.

"That's right, Jin Gongzi, this Jing Gongzi is more familiar with this place, let's go together." What's wrong with Baby Lan today, seeing this Jingyan Gongzi has a lot of extra words.

In fact, Lan Baobao's face is somewhat similar to Bai Fengzhi's eyebrows, but he is not a demon fairy, just a mortal, and Lan Baobao wants to go back and see Bai Fengzhi and tell him.

"This Lin Gongzi is right, there is no one here who is more suitable to be your guide than me, and if you want to know about the county master, I can also send someone to help you investigate, anyway, I am not afraid of offending him, and they still respect my family." Jing Yan kept smiling at the blue baby as he spoke.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to reveal his identity too early, Jin Lingluo wouldn't want to continue to listen to Jing Yan boasting about himself here, you are an imperial businessman, I am still the emperor, Jin Lingluo's expression was calm and his heart was turbulent.

After eating, the boss kept saying that he would not accept everyone's silver taels, and the king of Jin Ling Luotang could not take advantage of the people, so he gave the money and gave a few more silver ingots.

"Childe is really a good person, a good person has a good reward, Childe walks slowly." After receiving the silver ingot, the owner's family knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously to thank them, and the neighbors next to them also came over to see the excitement.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Jing will take you to visit the bazaar in Yuyao County today, you are here today, tonight is our local annual autumn storage festival, celebrating the harvest, it is very lively."

Jing Yan said with a temperament, and from time to time he pulled the blue baby over to look at the small objects on the side of the road.

"Lin Gongzi, what do you like? Do you like this? Jing Yan picked up the woodcut of a little tiger and asked Baby Blue.
