Chapter 401: The Problem of the Imperial Court

Since moving to a new place, the Iron Heads have behaved a lot. This is the requirement of the big bosses and military advisors.

Within half a year, no one is allowed to leave the camp without permission. In other words, in the past six months, all the Iron Head Gang members can only stay in the village, which is almost equivalent to imprisonment. But no one complained. I didn't even have a secret bitterness in my heart.

Because in that battle in the past. They saw it with their own eyes, if it weren't for the strategy of the big boss and the military advisor, if it wasn't for the big boss himself leading the death squad to fight with their lives. None of them, the gang members, the old and the young, survived, and they had long since become the ghosts of the officers and soldiers.

Therefore, the trust of the gang who escaped alive without dying in the catastrophe has almost reached the point of worshipping the big boss and the military advisor to the point of worshipping them as gods. They do what the big bosses and military advisors say, and they firmly believe that only in this way can they continue to live.

Because the officers and soldiers attacked the stockade for a few days, the impact on them was really too great. It has always been them who swayed and rode down the mountain with swords on their shoulders, and when the merchants passing by saw the banner of their Iron Head Gang, they all offered gold and silver treasures with their hands in fear. Occasionally, I met some people who didn't know the depths of their lives, and they would make the other party obediently hand over the money after several threats.

Occasionally, you'll meet some unconvinced people who know how to do martial arts. Then they will attack them in groups, and kill them as quickly as possible.

If the officers and soldiers come to encircle and suppress, they will get the news three or four days in advance, and then under the arrangement of the big boss and the military advisor, they will leave the lair and change to a more secret lair. Leaving the officers and soldiers with an empty nest.

Sometimes, when the officers and soldiers were in very close pursuit, after the death squad was broken, although they were a little embarrassed, they were able to escape safely.

There has never been a situation where the entire stockade was surrounded by officers and soldiers, along with all the gangs, young and old.

The attack on the village by officers and soldiers is even more unprecedented.

The sharp arrow feathers roared, and no part of the stockade was safe, and it was not sure that a cold arrow would pierce anyone.

On that day, the dead man was as clean as a dead dog.

On that day, the fear in the hearts of each of them was like a lit withered firewood, raging and burning.

So when finally, when the negotiations were over and they were able to escape, everyone was as happy as if they had escaped from the ghost gate.

"Thank you

Family. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ”

So now, they are absolutely subservient to the big bosses and military advisors.

In the evening of that day, the henchmen of the great boss returned from the city. Nowadays, you can only go down the mountain with the permission of the big boss and the military advisor.

The henchman brought back a message to the big boss that something big had happened under the mountain.

Ying Shenghou and his group went to the county government again, and this time it was not to avenge their grievances, but to sue the twenty officials in the county office.

The confidant said that when he got the news, almost all the people in the city were helping the group of people to find corrupt officials, and the leader of that group of people also came, from the capital, it seems that his name is Chen Letian.

The big boss listened to the details of his henchmen, called the military advisor, and consulted together.

Now the people who can go down the mountain in the gang are all the henchmen of the big bosses, so this is the only source.

The military advisor pondered for a moment and said, "Big boss, what do you think those people want to do?"

The big boss said: "Both horizontal and vertical want to destroy us." ”

The military advisor smiled: "I don't think so." ”

"Oh?" the big boss turned his head to look at the military advisor.

The military advisor stroked his beard and said, "I'm not sure, let's wait and see what happens, I hope my idea is right, in this way, maybe we can still exist." ”

The big boss stared at the military advisor for a while, and then was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed twice and said: "The military advisor always grows the morale of others to destroy his own prestige, I don't accept it, I don't believe it." With that, he pushed the door open and walked out.

The military advisor stood in the room for a while, shook his head, and went out. He hoped that his idea was right, and if his idea was right, then their Iron Head Gang was not the primary target at all, and the county government was the primary target.

Before dawn, Chen Letian and his party got up and washed up, and set off from their residence to continue digging for gold, silver and jewelry.

The county magistrate in the county yali also set off at the same time.

The county lord also woke up, sat on the edge of the bed, and said to Zhao Biao: "I was going to go to the incense today for the people to take a look, but I didn't expect to be taken by them first, and this incense can't be used." ”

Zhao Biao said: "My lord and relieved, I will pass the news back at any time, you can rest assured." ”

Xianzun waved his hand: "Go, I don't have anything to worry about, everything is under control right now." ”

And it came to pass at daybreak that they came to the house of the eleventh man.

"Good morning, sir. Chen Letian greeted him.

After thinking about it last night, the county lord became more and more respectful to Chen Letian, and also returned the salute: "Classmate Chen is early." ”

"Then let's continue?" Chen Letian said.

"Go on. The county nodded.

So the officials began to dig holes in full swing again.

This small official is in charge of taxation, and he is not considered the top three in command in the tax supervision department, but he can be regarded as the fourth and fifth.

Although the position is not high, the tax department is a department with a lot of oil and water, even if it is not the top three in command, there is still a lot of dirty silver that can be fished. There is a folk saying that the dirty silver of the tax supervision department cannot be regarded as dirty silver, and every household does not contribute a few dollars of silver a year. Spread to each family, this money is nothing, so this dirty silver is no longer dirty silver in the eyes of the people. Even the people are very willing to pay for the pockets of the people of the tax department, because in this way the people can get a lot of benefits.

"The little tax supervisor, who is already exploiting the people, is still not satisfied, fornicating with bandits, it is a crime that deserves death!" Another box of gold and silver came up, Chen Letian shook his head and sighed beside him.

The county lord glanced at Chen Letian, and thought to himself, aren't you scolding our county government for not doing anything? What do you mean by exploiting the people, are you scolding him or me?

Chen Letian immediately said to the county: "My lord, although the laws of our Great Song Dynasty are very reasonable compared to the Liang and Wei States, but even so, there are still many loopholes and unreasonable places, this is not something that the local official yamen can change, this is a problem of the imperial court!"

Lord Xiancheng was uncomfortable listening to this, this was the first time he had heard someone say this kind of thing in Bazhong City in front of a large public. It always feels very harsh to my ears. But the person who spoke, he didn't dare to refute it, after all, what he said was right. The most important thing is that this person is a student of Qingtian Pavilion, and he doesn't dare to offend. If ordinary people said this, he would have scolded him a long time ago, but unfortunately, it was the students of Qingtian Pavilion who spoke.

Chen Letian smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, adult, I'm not targeting you..."

"No!" the county suddenly raised his voice.
