There is nothing wrong with Ge Lao's words, because the matter of collecting "protection fees" is actually really Yan Hongxin's doing, he just knows that he has not interfered much.

Moreover, it is a bit ridiculous, at first Yan Hongxin was very unhappy with Mu Chonglan's request for him to collect "protection money", but then he didn't know how, and he began to gradually get in touch, and even, yesterday he personally led people to stop the group of traders who tried to borrow from elsewhere on the grounds of disturbing the peace, and threw them into the prison, and asked those traders to repair books for their families, and asked their families to ransom people with silver, otherwise they would not let people go, it was really ......

Ge Lao thought about it, and felt that after he died, he was afraid that he would be sorry for the ancestors of the Yan family, after all, Yan Hongxin was such a lone seedling, and he joined the army again, but in the end, because of one of his own decisions, he developed a ruffian.

Zhao Yongkang shook his head: "Hey, the ninth girl is so nonsense, and the adults also feel harmless, but I don't know how the state capital reacted." ”

When Zhao Yongkang said this, he was very worried, but he was just worried that things would not be cleaned up, as for those traders who were robbed by Mu Chonglan, he felt that there was nothing to sympathize with, after all, when Mu Chonglan robbed, he was still very measured, and almost all of them were profiteers.

Seeing that Zhao Yongkang was so worried, Ge Lao smiled and said nonchalantly: "What can I do, our Longtong County is a hot potato at this time, looking greedy, it is uncomfortable to eat." ”

"However, if the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry from the state capital......"

"Dog jumping off the wall?" Ge Lao said, glanced at Zhao Yongkang a little ridiculously, and said, "Didn't you say that you called a prison state to come down?" ”

Zhao Yongkang remembered that Xiao Xiantang was going to kill Chu Chengwang, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching: "As soon as the adults make a move this time, we can be regarded as having a complete falling out with the state capital, and the state government is probably going to make a move." ”

"Not yet." Ge Lao said with certainty.

Zhao Yongkang was a little puzzled: "Not for the time being?" ”

"yes." Ge Lao glanced at Zhao Yongkang before continuing: "They have a lot of things that they can't see, it's really a big trouble, and they don't dare to fight to the death." ”

Zhao Yongkang smiled wryly when he heard this: "It's really a big trouble, and we won't have a good time." ”

Although compared to the state capital, they are really just a small fight, but if the top really punishes the crime, they will not pay attention to these, and it is also a matter of losing their heads.

Seeing Zhao Yongkang's confession, Ge Lao couldn't help but laugh: "Look at you scared, let's follow this Xiao County order now, we can always take it out." ”

"I understand, but I'm still a little scared." Zhao Yongkang said helplessly.

When Ge Lao heard this, he smiled, and didn't persuade again, either he was prosperous and rich, or he lost his head, and they couldn't get off when he got on Xiao Xiantang's ship, so if he thought like Zhao Yongkang, persuasion was useless, only he could figure it out by himself.

"Don't mention this, speaking of which, when I came back from outside, I seemed to see Yang Hao walking around with people from house to house, what was he doing?" Ge Lao asked with some curiosity.

"It's nothing, it's just that I plan to register the strong men in the county." Zhao Yongkang said that the matter of guarding the city gate was originally the business of their three classes of officials, but at this time, they were ordered to do it by the navy, so they were sent to register the strong men in the county.

"Register the strong men in the county? Is it planning to recruit? When Ge Lao said this, his eyes were obviously bright, and it was obvious that he was looking forward to Xiao Xiantang's recruitment, because he felt that as long as Xiao Xiantang recruited troops, then the days of fighting with the pirates were coming.

They have waited for this day for so many years, and if they can win once, they will die without regrets.

Zhao Yongkang shook his head: "Although he is a strong man in the registered county, it doesn't look like a recruit, and I don't know the specific things." ”

"That's ......" Ge Lao was a little disappointed.

Zhao Yongkang saw Ge Lao's expression, and immediately said, "When there is any news, I will come and tell you as soon as possible." ”

"Okay." Ge Lao nodded, still with a gloomy expression.

Zhao Yongkang saw it, and it was not good to continue to say anything, and after talking for a while, he found an excuse and left, leaving Ge Lao alone to sigh.

Maybe it was because Ge Lao came out, and Ge Lao asked about the strong men in the registered county again, so Zhao Yongkang couldn't help but ask a few more words when he saw that Yang Hao was still there to register the number of strong men in the county.

Yang Hao has always been mixed under Zhao Yongkang, so he has great respect for Zhao Yongkang, so much so that as soon as Zhao Yongkang asked, he told everything he knew.

In fact, it is not uncommon or strange for the county government to register the strong men in the county, because other county governments will also check the local population from time to time, but the registered population in other counties basically has a certain purpose.

Is it really to catch strong men to fight pirates?

Zhao Yongkang secretly pondered this possibility in his heart, but he felt a little strange, because even if he wanted to catch strong men to fight pirates, he shouldn't make such a big show, not to mention that the state capital is not blind, and there are a lot of eyeliners hidden in their Longtong County, if they really have any action on their side, the state capital must take action.

Don't say anything about the state capital's fear, afraid of making things bigger, so you don't dare to make any big moves, you know, in this Yanzhou territory, many big moves can be covered up by everyone pretending to be confused, so although Zhao Yongkang believed what Ge Lao said on the surface, the state government didn't have that much optimism in their hearts.

Just when Zhao Yongkang was worried every day, Yang Hao came to look for him with the yellow books in various towns and villages, because Xiao Xiantang gave an order, that is, all the registered strong men must join Mu Chonglan's Zuixiao Tower to work.

This behavior shocked Yang Hao enough at the moment, and then he hurriedly ran to find Zhao Yongkang.

After Zhao Yongkang learned the news, he was also shocked, and hurriedly jumped out of bed to find Ge Lao, and even wore his anxious shoes backwards, and he didn't notice it.

Xiao Xiantang and Mu Chonglan are young husband and wife, Xiao Xiantang connived and spoiled Mu Chonglan, from Mu Chonglan to block the road to collect "protection money", Xiao Xiantang is also a sentence "the official can hold it", and the people who hold opposing opinions will be sent away, at this time Mu Chonglan made a strong man to forcibly recruit a strong man to do things for her restaurant, this is not a sentence of "can hold it", it can really be held, after all, this matter is small to say that regardless of the people's grievances, forcibly loot the people's fat and ointment, to say bigger, it is to collect strong men privately, with bad intentions, was known by the imperial court, and it was going to be beheaded all over the house.
