Zhu Lin took a closer look at the letter. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info thought that the monkey was not simple, and this informant had developed to the prefect. "Second brother, is the leather monkey here? Let him come to me if he comes. Oh, and shout them all. I have important things to do today. ”

"Third brother, the leather monkey can't see the head but the tail, and he doesn't know what he's busy with all day. Zhu Yi said.

"Don't worry about it first, I'll get up first. You go and call people, and they all shout. Just go. Saying that, Zhu Lin put on his clothes. I got up, and a maid brought a wash water. Help Zhu Lin get dressed. After Zhu Lin washed up, he had some breakfast. Breakfast was still sent to the study by the maid. Zhu Lin sighed secretly, it seems that his life has degenerated. I have become accustomed to this kind of day when clothes come to reach out and food comes to open my mouth. When I didn't get used to it at first, I rushed to do it. But the scared tears of the maid fell to her knees on the ground. said that if she couldn't take care of the little master, Sister Liu would sell them again. Zhu Lin once mentioned this matter to Liu Rumei. Liu Rumei told Zhu Lin that she couldn't manage Xingxing Lake. But in the Zhu family's house, subordinates should have the rules of subordinates. How can there be a young master who lives in the study and lets the people live in the hall. The meals are the same as those of the young master. That's enough for them. Serve the young master again, go out and chew the root of the tongue. I sold them to the kiln. Because of this, Zhu Lin mentioned it to Liu Rumei several times. But Liu Rumei still goes her own way. So he gave up, and Zhu Lin had to start slowly learning to enjoy this life.

It didn't take long for everyone to gather in the study. Wang Guangxu, Zheng Jiu, Liu Rumei. Zhu Yidu is here. Liu Changqing is also among them.

Zhu Lin saw that everyone had arrived, and said, "Brother Zheng Jiu, do you know what the tribute is all about. ”

"Tribute, that is, the local government selects the local more distinctive food and play to send it to be called tribute. Generally, it is selected once a year. If there is no place to go. It is also possible to pay no tribute. The court doesn't want you to pay tribute. Something nice-to-have. Zheng Jiu replied.

"If you are chosen, there is no benefit. Zhu Lin asked.

"If you are chosen, you have to pay tribute every year. But something that comes up with tribute. The emperor is going to give money. Not a lot, though. Even if the emperor was happy, he rewarded a lot. After layers of exploitation, in the end, there is not much left in the hands. Generally speaking, it's just a reputation. Why did the young master remember to ask this today. ”

"Hey, isn't this a mirror that has been chosen as a tribute?" Zhu Lin said.

"How could it be. If the mirror is chosen, the government will have to come and supervise the process of making the mirror. After all, the best should be taken as a tribute. Zheng Jiu replied.

"Ah, isn't that how the mirror was made going to be leaked? Wang Guangxu said.

"That's it. Zhu Yi said.

"Brother Zheng Jiu, is there any way? This is someone who is blushing when they see us making money. I want to stick a pole in the middle. Zhu Lin asked Zheng Jiu.

"Young Master, it's really not good. Then we will pay tribute to the mirror ourselves. Dodge the government. Make it difficult for them to start. Just like Yang Wangnan. Direct tribute. Zheng Jiu replied.

"Will there be time for it? I guess the people from the yamen will appear in a while. Zhu Lin was not at ease.

"It's definitely too late. However, since it is listed as a tribute, we must arrive in the capital earlier than the people from the government. Vote first. The government has no choice. and find Lao Zhu and let Lao Zhu find a way to hold it off. We choose one person and then go to the capital to report. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. Second brother, hurry up and find Uncle Zhu. Ask him what he can do. Hold it off for now. ”

When Zhu Yi heard this, he knew that the matter was important. I didn't say anything and hurried away.

Zhu Lin was discussing with Zheng Jiu there for a while. When Zhu Lin said that he had a conflict with the old bustard yesterday, it was estimated that the old bustard took revenge. When Zheng Jiu sent a mirror to Tang Baihu yesterday, Tang Baihu told Zheng Jiu that the background was very hard. Beware of the old bustard's damage. In the evening, when Zheng Jiu was at home for dinner, he explained again. So when he talked about this matter just now, Zheng Jiu was quite unscathed. Don't say that the young master is going to say that he wants to seal it. It's just that the young master doesn't say it. This beam is also settled. A few people were talking there. A maid ran in in a panic and said, "Young master, it's not good, there are a lot of officials from the yamen." said that he would take the young master back to the yamen for questioning. It's like someone sued us. ”

"Hey, it's still coming. So fast. Sister Liu, no one is allowed to go out today with the maids and children. Evergreen, you continue to find a way to modify the stove. All the items you need are for Guangxu to buy. Zheng Jiu, accompany the young master and I will meet them. He walked out. Zheng Jiu originally wanted to persuade the young master, and I would come forward to deal with this matter. Zhu Lin insisted on going. But walked out and thought about it. called Wang Guangxu over again and explained a few words in Wang Guangxu's ear. Turning around, Zheng Jiu accompanied Zhu Lin to the front yard.

The maids and children watched all this. The children wanted to help Zhu Lin, but were persuaded by Wang Guangxu. Under Liu Rumei's explanation, the maids were silent, what to do or what to do.

In the front yard, a few officials stood bored. He carried an iron ruler on his waist. Holding a ruthless stick of fire and water in his hand. It's very loose. As soon as he saw Zhu Lin come out, he immediately stood straight.

Zhu Lin smiled: "Said, I don't know what you guys are looking for." ”

At this time, a servant walked out of the head of the official team. He is tall and strong. The square face is very upright, but with mouse eyes and garlic nose. The mouth of the dachshund is still a little crooked. There are also two large buckteeth. Plus a pair of provocative ears. These things are crammed together. It's a bit too miserable.

"Young master, this is Zhang Bantou. The prefect's yamen catches quickly. Zheng Jiu whispered in Zhu Lin's ear.

"Young Master Zhu Lin, someone from the prefect's yamen has complained. Say that you are hoarding and hiding treasures. Beating and insulting others..... Lord Governor asked the villain to come and bring the little master Zhu Lin over to the house to ask. Zhang Bantou said.

"Okay, well, there are dozens of charges just for me. I've really worked hard for you. It's not easy!" replied Zhu Lin.

"This, please don't embarrass the little ones, Young Master Zhu. Just took Young Master Zhu over to question. Zhang Bantou said.

"Let's go, let's see who is accusing me. Wait for the kid's uncle and godfather to come back. I'm going to sue him. It's too bullying, it's just unwarranted. Zheng Jiu, walking. Zhu Lin said.

It is said that the officials want to lock Zhu Lin with chains. But Zheng Jiuyi glared. That's it. No one dared to lock it. And Zhang Bantou also said it. I'll just go over and ask. So there's no lock. Zhu Lin and Zheng Jiu walked to the prefect's yamen with a smile. It's almost the same as usual shopping. It's just that he was followed by a group of officials.

The main hall of the prefect's yamen. Two shifts of officials stood still. Under the plaque of Zhengda and Guangming, Hu Zhifu sat solemnly behind the bookcase. Master Jian stood aside. In the middle of the two classes of officials knelt the old bustard. The old bustard was foaming at the mouth of the day. But she didn't mention anything about her insulting Wang Guangxu and splashing and rolling there.

Zhu Lin and Zheng Jiu stood outside the hall. There were a lot of people outside. Watch there. Pointing at Zhu Lin and Zheng Jiu. Zhang Bantou went in to report. left a group of officials outside to watch Zhu Lin and Zheng Jiu. Nervous no. Why, who doesn't know that Zheng Jiu is fierce. It is said that Tang Baihu, who has the highest kung fu, can't take ten moves in his hands. If Zheng Jiu is in a hurry to rebel, he will lead the little young master to rebel. In this huge Sicheng, there are really few people who can cure him.

"Report to the prefect, the prisoner has been brought. Wait outside the hall for the drop-off. Zhang Bantou said.

Lord Hu was shocked. "Bringing people to commit crimes. The officials on both sides shouted together, "Take someone to commit a crime." When Zhu Lin heard this, he went from being a questioner to a prisoner. Zhu Lin walked in, unhurried. Neither humble nor arrogant. Walk to the middle of the main hall and stand still. Zheng Jiu followed. Two officials at the door stopped Zheng Jiu. Zheng Jiu took out his waist card and shook it. The official then let Zheng Jiu in.

Governor Hu and Master Zhu saw that Zheng Jiu also came. Things are going badly. Yesterday, the old bustard said that he didn't see this guy. The guy who went to inquire last night also said that he didn't see this guy. Therefore, Master Zhu took this opportunity to ask the official to bring Zhu Lin to the hall early. Governor Hu glanced at Master Hu. Master Su nodded. Governor Hu asked Zheng Jiu to move a stool and put it at the bottom of the table. But Zheng Jiu refused. Just kidding, this is a trial of our little master. I sat there like something.

Hu Zhifu was shocked. said: "Who is below, but there is a meritorious name." Why don't you kneel when you see this official? ”

"Mighty. The two classes of officials shouted.

"Zhu Lin, a person from Huaicheng. There is no merit in the body. Zhu Lin raised his hand and said.

"Then why don't you kneel. Governor Hu asked.

"Because of this. As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his arms. It was the token that Father-in-law Wei gave to Zhu Lin last time.

A scribe came to pick it up and handed it to Governor Hu. Governor Hu fixed his eyes and saw that the jade pendant was a four-clawed dragon-shaped jade pendant. There is also a line of small words below: Dongchang tokens do not visit the officials. Hu Zhifu said in his heart, yes, people are prepared. I still want to give people a horse. This time, Ma Wei didn't give it to anyone. I got it first. Thinking about it, he asked the scribe to send it to Zhu Lin. Master Ji looked at it and returned the jade pendant. hurriedly gave the prefect a look. The prefect didn't pay attention to it.

"Zhu Lin, now there is an old bustard who accused you of hiding treasures privately, and instructed his subordinates to beat and abuse her and threaten her. But there is such a thing. Governor Hu asked.

"I don't know what the old bustard told him about what he was hiding a treasure. Please make it clear. It is even more nonsense to instruct the subordinates to insult and beat them. How can it be? Please show me. Zhu Lin said. After speaking, he glanced at Hu Zhifu defiantly.

Hu Zhifu just wanted to speak. The old bustard said: "You have a mirror three feet long and one foot wide in your house, why don't you pay tribute to the emperor." Did Young Master Zhu say at the door of his house that he was going to seal it? You still let the subordinate with a straight knife threaten me. Which one of these is not to be obtained. Where is the end of the little master Zhu's majesty for the old lady yesterday........ beg the adult to make the old man's decision!" the old bustard said while crying, kowtowing. If she didn't take any little gold figures or anything like that, she would be too wronged by her. The people outside the hall also applauded. They all said there that Zhu Lin was bullying others. Zhu Lin glanced outside. I was secretly surprised. Unexpectedly, in order to convict me. I actually found so a**. I just wanted to answer. I heard Zheng Jiu shouting: "Give me a slap." But no one from below moved. The old bustard raised the crying face and glanced at Zheng Jiu proudly.
