Chapter 425

Li Xiao smiled, the people just like these mysterious topics with some meat. Legends such as corpses are widely spread in Shandong. Li Xi has never heard of it, if this story is written and put on the starting point Chinese network, it must be a red book.

"I've heard that now the land of the officials and lords has to pay taxes. Our Ming Dynasty has never had this since Emperor Hongwu. Scholars also have to pay taxes, just like us who run bills. ”

"Do you believe that they say that the official pays taxes? They have 10,000 ways to put these taxes on the heads of our people, and in the end, it is not our people who are unlucky. The officials have two mouths, and if you believe them to speak, you will be at fault for all the years. "An old man with gray hair and beard, mixing noodles and talking at the same time.

This kind of noodle restaurant is sometimes like a tavern, where the unknown and the unknown are mixed together, and I will say a word and I will say a word. All kinds of information and opinions collide here, and then new opinions or rumors are fermented.

"That is, if you ask the tax collectors to pay the taxes, can they do it? Our officials in the Ming Dynasty will not do anything else, that is, to do what is good for everyone and what is good for them. Let's live. A middle-aged man next to him chimed in.

"Humph! Since ancient times, scholars do not pay taxes, which is the ancient predication of our ancestors. The new emperor did this when he ascended the throne, and the world seemed to be in chaos. Did you see this mess the other day? According to the old man, this is a symptom of chaos in the world, what do you know? "It was an old fellow who looked like a master, with a goatee. Wearing a Shu brocade robe, his hands are so white that he looks like a woman without calluses. The fingers of his right hand are slightly deformed, and he looks like an old pedant.

"Yo! Master Guan, don't you dare to talk nonsense. Now the official family is arresting such people, saying that they are lying to confuse the public. You're a handful of old people, and you won't be able to stand a few days in prison. Xiao Er came up and gave kind advice.

"What do you know little? As the saying goes, there are no two heavens and no two people, and now there is an emperor in the capital. There is another emperor in Jinling, according to the old man, the emperor in Jinling, the words of the saint are assisted by learned people. But what do you think the emperor of the capital has?

That Li Xiao is as ruthless as a jackal and as vicious as a wolf, and Sun Chengzong is too old to be deaf. Lu Xiang ascended to both ends of the rat, and Zhang Huang said that he was cunning. Among these people, none of them seems to be a talent for stability and stability. The old man put his words here, and it won't take a year or two. The heavenly soldiers of the imperial court will hit the city of Jinan, and at that time, all the Liao soldiers and heavenly heroes will have to be finished. Li Xiao, those people are either tied up and executed or ......! ”

Ai Husheng couldn't listen to it, and wanted to stand up and scold. But he was dragged by Li Xiao, Ai Husheng could only continue to sit on the table, but his eyes were quite unkind when he looked at Master Guan.

"Master Guan, let's not say anything like that. It's not good for the official to come and arrest you! The shopkeeper was afraid that arresting people would affect his business, so he hurried over to persuade him to make peace.

"Humph! The old man was afraid that they would be arrested, and the old man's students were in front of the governor's yamen, which was sacrificing his life for righteousness. The old man is six out of fifty this year, and he is not an untimely death no matter how he counts. The old man is afraid of them? Don't you know, that day the Liao soldiers killed students in front of the governor's yamen. The shot was like a burst of beans, and the students were killed in rows. The corpses are piled up so high that the blood can reach your feet and neck. Miserable! Miserable! Miserable! Yes......! The old guy spoke eloquently, and everyone looked at the old guy. I was frightened by the tragic scene he described.

Li Xiao picked up a pair of chopsticks and noodles, sucked and took a bite. Not to mention, this noodle is really authentic. Not to mention, there is a palm-sized piece of pork in it, which is a good bowl of large meat noodles.

"Dashuai, this person is full of Hu Qin ......!" Junko wanted to speak, but was stopped by Li Xiao's outstretched hand. I want to see what else this guy can come up with.

"The Tianxiong soldiers broke the house and entered the house like bandits, that is, they were defiled when they saw a woman. From the eighty-year-old woman to the doll of several years old. When the scourge is over, the whole family must be killed. You say, 'This is the work of men?' Guan Fuzi seemed to have some money, so he asked for a bowl of wine and ordered two side dishes. While drinking, he recounted the tragic situation of Jinan City.

It seems that the wine is a little too high, and it is becoming more and more unreliable. In the end, Li Xiao was happy, and there was a patrol in the city. If the Tianxiong soldiers dared to do this, they would have been dismantled by the cavalry battalion a long time ago. Regarding the military discipline of the Liao army, Li Xiao still has full confidence.

"Master Guan, have you said all of this! Why hasn't Xiao Lao'er heard of it, he was at the door of the governor's yamen two days ago, and he didn't see any corpses. Not to mention the corpse, there is not even any blood. However, some people and pee on the wall of the governor's yamen, and the smell was tight. An old man who ate noodles questioned Master Guan's words.

His own words were questioned by a mud-legged man, which Guan Fuzi could not tolerate: "Do! You idiot, you know something. These are all seen by the old man with his own eyes, and the old man is also a person who is talented and famous, can it be said that the old man will still lie to you? ”

Guan Fuzi's beard was curled, which was obviously a precursor to an outbreak. If it weren't for the old guy's strong figure, maybe Master Guan would go over and slap him.

"Oops! You have seen it with your own eyes, Master. I'm surprised why I didn't report it to the kid. Tell me what year, month, day, and day you saw these evil deeds happen. As long as you say something, the kid will order someone to take their head, absolutely unambiguous. Before Guan Fuzi could break out, a young man of medium stature walked up to his desk.

Guan Fuzi looked up and saw the young man in front of him with short hair. There were two strong men like bears behind him, and his heart began to tremble. Short hair, this is the most significant symbol of the Liao army. This guy spoke in a strong tone, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that he was a high-ranking person in the Liao army.

"You...... Who are you? "Lao Xiucai is the master, so he will not be easily frightened. Calmed down a little, looked at Li Xiao and asked.

"Me?" Li Xiao pointed to his nose, looked at Guan Fuzi and said with a smile: "My name is Li Xiao, the new secretary of the military department of the Longwu Dynasty. The one who is as fierce as a jackal and as a wolf in the center of your mouth is exactly below. ”

"You're ......!" Guan Fuzi was frightened all of a sudden, and Li Xiao was so famous that he was even afraid of three points from Tartars.

"Don't be afraid! Master Guan, tell me about the evil things you just saw. When exactly it happened and where it happened. Li Xiao will definitely investigate such grievances thoroughly. All those involved, etc., will be dealt with severely. Say! As soon as he said the last word, Li Xiao's eyes had become extremely sharp. Years of battlefield killing have made Li Xiao's eyes extremely scary.

"I ......! Old man......! Guan Fuzi was so frightened that he couldn't say a word. It's okay for him to spread rumors in front of these peddlers and pawns, but he still has to have a certain amount of skill to break it blindly in front of Li Xiao.

"Don't be afraid, speak up. This official is in charge of you! ”

"Uh...... This......! "It's a fictitious thing, but now that Li Xiao is more real, what else can he say.

"Say!" Li Xiao roared, and Guan Fuzi slipped to the ground in fright, and fell to the ground with weak knees.

"Say!" Li Xiao didn't care about Guan Fuzi's embarrassed appearance, and squeezed out the word between his teeth.

"Old man...... The old man has heard what people say. Guan Fuzi's face was pale, and his whole body was constantly trembling, like a Parkinson's patient.

"Hear from someone? You just said that you saw it with your own eyes, did I hear it wrong, or did the people here hear it wrong? You say, did he just say that he saw it with his own eyes? Li Xiao pointed to a frightened pale guy and asked.

"I didn't ...... Be...... Ah, yes, he saw it with his own eyes. That guy was pointed at by Li Xiao, and his lips trembled. It took a few times to organize the language to be considered to be able to speak neatly!

"Master Guan, you should tell me. Did we all hear it wrong? Or are you wrong? Li Xiao looked at Master Guan coldly.

At this time, Guan Fuzi couldn't say a word. My brain was blank, and I just regretted that I wanted to be happy for Mao. Now I'm unlucky enough to be bumped into by the owner.,...... It's so fucking unlucky.

"Even if you have heard from someone, then please tell the person who told you, and the official will ask him about it."

Guan Fuzi was silent, and his mind was already blank at this time. If you say that his father is Zhu Yuanzhang, he will not have any reaction.

Looking at Guan Fuzi, who was already stupid, Li Xiao turned to Shunzi and ordered: "Take this person away and parade through the street with a flail." ”

"No!" As soon as Junko waved his hand, two soldiers from the guard company pounced like wolves. They have long been dissatisfied with this nonsense-mouthed old bastard, and their methods are very vicious when they are handcuffed.

Li Xiao didn't say how many days he had been in the flail, and Junzi was smart enough not to ask. According to Junko's idea, there are not many such people who are shackled to death.

The sound of cups and plates, tables and chairs moving in the noodle restaurant was loud. Everyone knelt on the ground, and one guy knelt too quickly and touched the bowl. The whole bowl of steaming noodles was buckled on him, making this guy seem to be a fairy.

"Today, I, the person in charge of Li Xiao, told you that the Liao army will not kill innocents indiscriminately. But he will not be soft on those who spread rumors and hate the New Deal and do not die. You can also rest assured that the new policy of the imperial court will never allow officials to pass on taxes to the people without permission. If you see or encounter such a thing, you can go to the governor's yamen to complain. As long as what you say is true, the new dynasty will naturally call the shots for you. ”

"No!"

"Uncle Xie!"

"Lord Qingtian!"

"The old man is wise!"

The people are blindly obedient, and they will begin to believe the rumors they spread. But later, as more and more people say it, they will believe it to be true. The four words of three people becoming tigers are exactly what they say.

"Account!" Li Xiao snorted and saw that the shopkeeper of the noodle shop was still kneeling on the ground. I'll pick it up as soon as I get it!

"The nobles step on the ground, and the small shop does not dare to accept the money of the big man." For such a thing as a big official taking the initiative to pay, the shopkeeper turned pale with fright.

"You have a small business, and I can't eat and drink for nothing." Li Xiao gave a look, and Shunzi immediately took out ten eldest sons and put them on the case. Small shops in the market, this money should be enough for noodles.

"Is this money enough?" Li Xiao learned from the appearance of a great leader and tried his best to show that he was close to the people.

"Enough! Enough! ”

"How much is a bowl of your noodles?"

"Five eldest sons!"

"Five eldest sons, we have four bowls of ......!" Li Xiao glanced back at Shunzi, Junzi's face turned red, and he quickly took out another handful of copper brothers and threw it on the table.

"Hahaha!" After listening to what Li Xiao said, Zhang Huangyan laughed "ha" and "ha".

"Some people are like this, things without shadows are said vividly, and storytellers are not as wonderful as they say. In fact, they are just dissatisfied with the New Deal, and they are happy and happy. It's better for you to deal with it like this, so that those who criticize the New Deal can take a good look at what will happen if the rumors are spread by the public. ”

"Don't talk about me yet, what's your take? What does Lu Xiangsheng mean, in terms of ability and seniority, no one is more suitable than him for the position of governor of Shandong. ”

"Does he have a choice? The Tianxiong soldiers have killed the living and suppressed the rebellious people, and he is not tolerated by the scholars all over the world. If the court in Jinling wants to accept him, it still has to have some courage. Besides, the old man has found a good way for him to have to follow us. ”

As soon as Zhang Huangyan said this, Li Xiao knew that Lu Xiangsheng was calculated by the old fox. But he still wanted to know how the old fox calculated the young fox, and the young fox didn't know it.

"Today, Li Yongfang came to report, and the guy who caught the guy named Li Fatzi confessed. The mastermind behind it is Xuezheng Wu Changshi, and the old man has officially reported this matter to Liang Pu under Lu Xiangsheng. This time there was chaos, and Liang Pu's men suffered many casualties. More than a dozen people were beaten to death by the rioters. Among them, there is also a distant cousin of Liang Pu.

At the same time, the old man used your name to give Liang Pu a warrant to arrest Wu Changshi. ”

"Is Liang Pu willing to go?" Li Xiao felt that it was very likely that these guys would use his warrant to order Lu Xiangsheng's people. After all, that is Lu Xiangsheng's family background, not Li Xiao's Liao soldiers.

"Why not go. What an opportunity to show you faithfulness. Don't think that martial artists are rough people, sometimes they have more eyes than anyone else. Lu Xiang ascended to both ends of the rat, if the two families were not pleased, they could only hang the crown and leave. He is gone, and the soldiers of the Heavenly Heroes eat and drink whoever goes. It's not about eating and drinking us, to put it bluntly, we are the new owners of Tianxiongbing. Where is there a guy who doesn't want to please the owner! ”

"He went?" Li Xiao's eyes widened, the old fox must have made a wish with that Liang Pu official.

"Go! It was enough to let Wu Changshi, who was captured by Tianxiong's soldiers, just now Wu Changshi's son had already fled out of the city to the south. "The old fox looks like he has a bamboo in his chest.

When Jinling knew that Wu Chang was arrested by the Tianxiong soldiers, he would definitely think that Lu Xiangsheng did it. If Wu Changshi accidentally dies in prison again, then Lu Xiangsheng will be yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, not but also, and he can't wipe it clean if he wants to.

Originally, the students were suppressed to make trouble, which offended the world. Now that Zhou Yanru's students have been killed, the Yongli court in Jinling is eager to devour Lu Xiangsheng alive. If he wants to survive, Lu Xiangsheng has only one way left to run to the dark with Li Xiao. The old fox is the old fox, and with just one order, people like Lu Xiangsheng almost fell into a desperate situation.

Moreover, there are all the human and material evidence in this matter, and Liang Pu also has a warrant from the governor's yamen in his hand. Speaking of which, all the procedures are reasonable and legal, and no one can find fault with them. The old fox is so powerful here, always engaging in intrigue and trickery. Only Yangmou can be regarded as upright, and this time Lu Xiangsheng is in a catastrophe.
