Qing Ming turned the teacup with his fingertips, nodded, and undoubtedly added: "Tsing Yi has a little white face." ”

Cao Ran rubbed the corners of her forehead, and said in her heart: It's over, she has really become a disaster, at best, she said that she had destroyed the marriage between the two countries, ruined the peace that the people of the two countries had been looking forward to for many years, and at worst, it was said that it had disturbed the marriage between Zhu Xuan and the Ninth Princess, and poor Zhu Xuan was still regarded as a broken sleeve! I only hope that this rumor can stop at the wise man, otherwise there will be any girl willing to marry him.

"What you're saying is true!" At some point, there were two sons sitting at the next table, one of whom was obviously dressed as the lord and slapped his long sword on the table, shouting at the big table.

It is said that rumors kill people, this son is afraid that he can't hear that Princess Yongning has suffered such a great humiliation, and in his anger, he doesn't know if he will find Zhu Xuan and draw his sword against him.

I saw that the boy, although he was thin and thin, but his bearing was awe-inspiring, he walked up to PHS who was pouting his ass, put the long sword on his neck, and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

The little PHS, his eyes were firmly fixed on the blade of the sword around his neck, and he replied in a trembling voice: "It's true." ”

The boy shook the long sword in his hand and deflected it towards PHS's neck before steadily turning around and inserting it into the scabbard. Frightened, PHS's eyes were closed, and he didn't dare to move, only from his throat: "Hero, spare your life!" I'm not lying! ”

The boy put away the long sword, patted him on the shoulder, and said apologetically: "I haven't used a sword for a long time, my hands are born, and I am a good man!" ”

I only heard the sound of "bang-la-la" a burst of running water, and PHS got wet under the crotch.

The sword boy pinched his nose and moved into the distance, and said to the other little boy: "Brother Qiao, bring the burden." ”

The other little boy who was with him, Zhenghuan, who was smiling, forgot to answer.

The boy shouted at him again: "Brother Qiao! Say you, hurry up and bring it to Ben Gongzi! ”

The little boy called Brother Qiao came to his senses and handed over the burden with his baggage.

Childe took out a heavy bag from his baggage, threw it on the big table with a "pop", and what was revealed was bright silver!

Brother Qiao'er Xu was also shocked by that sound, and a spirit tugged at the sleeve of the son and said, "Nine Princes...... Son, that's all our silver. ”

The Ninth Prince said coldly: "Shut up! ”

The people at the table stared at the dazzling silver in unison, and a few of them glanced at the long sword in Childe's hand thoughtfully, and hesitated in mid-air with a few hands that wanted to reach out.

The sword-wielding boy chuckled, patted his palm lightly with the scabbard and said, "Everyone should divide it, but if you take my money, you have to do something for me." ”

Among the dozen or so people around, a few of them were bold enough to reach out and take one when they heard the word "divided", not caring what they were going to do. The remaining few were more conservative, and they hesitated in their hands and asked, "Do ...... What to do? ”

A wicked smile appeared on Gongzi Duanxiu's face, and he pointed in the direction of PHS with his chin and said, "Spread what this kid just said about King Liang Yue, and tell as many people as possible." ”

When everyone heard that there was such a good amount of money, everyone did not hesitate to grab their share.

Cao Ran was also a little dumbfounded when he heard this, does this son have an enmity with Zhu Xuan! is so vicious, such a big misunderstanding spreads, and she, the little white face in other people's mouths, has become the source of all evil! couldn't help but slap the table to stop it, but Qing Ming held down his shoulder. He whispered to her, "Don't move, there's still a lot of fun." ”

Cao Ran took a deep breath and sat back obediently.

As soon as I sat upright, I saw a group of people coming up from downstairs, the leader had a horizontal face, the half-length stubble was messily distributed on the bulging cheeks, and the left side of the face was pasted with a finger-thick scar from the bridge of the nose to the root of the ear, and the eyes that seemed to have been opened were narrowed into a slit, so that a face could not see the slightest friendliness.

The scar man was followed by seven or eight younger brothers, all of whom were full of ferocity, a thin little brother with a long face like a horse, who rudely pushed the people on the big table to both sides, respectfully pulled out a chair, laughed and bared his buckteeth, and looked like a dog's legs, and said to the scar man: "Knife boss, please sit." ”

After the knife boss sat down, he took out a scimitar in his hand, pretending to pick up the other fingernail, and his eyes with only one slit seemed to look at the tip of the knife and the silver on the table, and said, "Yo, are you trading?" I think you guys are getting more and more ignorant of the rules! ”

The horse-faced dog-legged beside him pointed to the man on the big table: "If you haven't paid taxes, you dare to put it in your pocket!" Hurry up and take it out, don't wait for the brothers to do it themselves! ”

Seeing that the comer was not good, the ninth prince held his sword and said to the old dao: "What are you doing?" You dare to ask for my son's silver! ”

The horse-faced dog-legged man took two steps closer and carefully looked at the two slim sons, and said with a wicked smile: "Look at the noodles, which son and brother are you who don't understand the rules?" The laws of the country stipulate that whether it is a merchant, a shopkeeper, or a farmer who cultivates the land, if he has income to put something in his pocket, he must pay taxes before the rest can be his own. Seeing that you are from a wealthy family, don't you understand this common sense! ”

The little boy on the side stopped the horse-faced dogleg who continued to approach, and scolded angrily: "Bold! Dare to be rude to my son-in-law, I don't want your head anymore! ”

The horse-faced dog's legs were not hung up, and he stretched out his hand and was about to fall down and hit the little boy in front of him.

Cao Ran was about to get up to save him, so he listened to the old Dao: "Stop, Ma ruffian, I see that these two little sons are quite handsome, maybe they are from an adult's house." They are all for the court, so don't hurt the harmony, they will naturally have to do the errand they should do after receiving the little boy's money, and it is none of the little boy's business if they want to hand over the silver. ”

Everyone looked at the situation, and they all hesitated to hold the silver in their hands, although they didn't take out the silver, but they didn't dare to say a word.

The bearded man who was pulled aside had a sullen face, pointed to the knife boss and said, "This silver is rewarded by this son, and it is not in business, why do you have to pay taxes?" You don't want to be lawless with that little bit of background! ”

Before the words fell, I heard a miserable scream, and the finger that the bearded man stretched out fell at his feet with a "click", and the whole person curled up and covered his remaining bloody fingers, and his facial features were twisted together in pain, wailing and unable to speak.

The knife boss pulled up the ruffian's sleeve to wipe the blood stains on the scimitar, snorted at the bearded man, looked around at everyone and asked, "Who else dares to have doubts?" ”

"I have!" Cao Ran took the tea in his hand, and looked at the knife boss with a sharp look.

The knife boss was a little surprised when he heard this, Xun Sheng turned around and looked at the two people sitting by the window, and said disdainfully: "Where did the two little white faces come from, dare to meddle with Lao Tzu's affairs!" ”

He said that it was okay for others, but calling her a little white face angered her even more, Cao Ran pointed to his nose and said angrily: "Who is the little white face talking about?" ”

The knife boss said to her even louder: "The little white face said about you!" ”

Cao Ran smiled: "Even your old face is embarrassed to say that you are a little white face." ”

Everyone was amused, and the beard that sat on the ground looking for half of his fingers also pulled the corners of his mouth.

Cao Ran looked at the bearded man's simple appearance and reminded: "What are you still doing here, why don't you hurry up and go to the hospital to heal your fingers!" ”

The bearded man clutched a lost finger in a panic and staggered downstairs.

The knife boss's hideous face was red to the root of his ears, and he said angrily to the laughing people: "What are you laughing at!" Laugh again, beware, I'll cut off your tongues! Ma Ruffian and a few younger brothers who followed him saw that the knife boss was really angry, and they all forced a laugh and didn't dare to make a sound.

Seeing that everyone stopped laughing, the knife boss arrogantly lifted the scimitar and pointed at Cao Ran: "Stinky boy, you'd better keep your mouth shut, drink your tea on the side, and don't make trouble for Lao Tzu!" ”

Cao Ran sneered: "Shut up and drink tea? I don't know how to do that. ”

The old man stomped his feet in a big way, and leaned up angrily.

Cao Ran's knees were not on the line, and before she could dodge, Qing Ming got up and stretched out his hand to use the folding fan against the scimitar in the hand of the knife boss, and said kindly: "This knife brother don't know the apprentice, he is young and ignorant, you continue, we are drinking tea quietly here." ”

Cao Ran glared at Qing Ming, and scolded him in his heart for why he was so timid and cowardly today, this bully's arrogance was so arrogant that people couldn't sit idly by, and he was able to watch the excitement while sipping tea.

Qing Ming saw Cao Ran's indignant face and gave her a look.

Cao Ran knew that the master was hinting that she should not come out and wait for the ninth prince to strike first, but she only cared about letting these people spread rumors out of nothing, and her character was not much better!

Ignoring Qing Ming's eyes, he said to Dao Lao Dao: "Don't talk about whether the silver given to them by this prince should be paid national taxes, just say that you keep saying that you are collecting taxes for the imperial court, do you have the appointment documents of the imperial court?" Is it possible to issue a bill for the collection of taxes? And how can you prove that the money you received was handed over to the court and not embezzled by yourself? ”

Seeing that the knife boss was silent, and the people around him held their breath silently, Cao Ran continued: "You can think clearly before answering, if you can't get these documents, it means that you are pretending to levy taxes in the name of the imperial court, which is equivalent to embezzling national tax property!" Even those who do not know the law know that this sin is worse than that of an ordinary sword-wielding robbery. You weigh whether the Buddha behind you can bear it. ”

Those who took the silver heard Cao Ran's words, and a few people nodded in agreement: "Yes! Get out the paperwork for taxation! ”

The remaining few shook their heads and sighed secretly, and muttered in a low voice: "He is the nephew of the uncle's family, who dares to take him when he climbs up to the emperor's relatives, that kid is young and afraid that he will be unlucky!" ”
