The eldest son?

Tang Tingbai frowned.

He had just heard these three words from the mouths of the dozen or so vicious-speaking county soldiers.

Now I heard these three words again from the mouths of hundreds of county soldiers.

Who is this so-called eldest prince?

Could it be that he is the one who supports this group of county soldiers behind the scenes?

The eight Jinyi Guard masters all drew their steel knives at their waists and rushed towards hundreds of county soldiers.

Ping Pong –

Ping Pong –

Ping Pong –

Weapons collide and sparks fly.

In order to hide their identities, the eight brocade guards didn't even bring embroidered spring knives!

However, even so, in the face of this group of county soldiers, they are still invincible.

In just one stick of incense, the eight Jinyi Guard masters had already knocked hundreds of Fuyang City soldiers to the ground.

Tang Tingbai frowned again, a little disappointed.

He didn't expect that Dayan's county soldiers would be so poor in combat effectiveness, and they were not even as good as the ruffians and hooligans.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the city gate.

"Who would dare to beat the people of this son? Get out! ”

"Dare to make trouble in Fuyang City, do you really think that this son is easy to provoke?"

At the gate of the city, a young man with a pockmarked face jumped off his horse, very angry.

And there are more than a dozen guards behind Mazi Face, and their strength is basically above the Xuan Rank.

In the mainland, martial arts cultivation is divided into four major levels.

Heaven, earth, Xuan, yellow!

Mazi walked to Tang Tingbai's side angrily and grabbed Tang Tingbai's neck.

"Boy, at first glance, you are the young master of this group of people, why did you beat the people of this son?"

Tang Tingbai smiled and opened the other party's hand.

"The law of Dayan prohibits the collection of tolls in any way, but you, Fuyang City, let me ...... This son's eyes are opener! ”

Tang Tingbai is too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party, he has limited time!

Tang Tingbai turned to look at Shen Quan, the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, Fusi: "Send a signal, call the hundred household officials of Fuyang City to come over!" ”

Shen Quan immediately nodded and took out a signal tube from his arms!

Bang –

There was a loud bang, and a blood-red signal shot up into the sky.

In Dayan, all the cities are garrisoned by Jinyi guards.

Its purpose is to facilitate the monitoring of officials and the collection of intelligence.

Shen Quan walked up to Tang Tingbai and whispered: "Childe, Fuyang City dares to openly collect tolls, it is impossible for the Jinyi guards stationed in Fuyang City not to know, it is estimated that they are also involved in this matter!" ”

Tang Tingbai nodded, his face calm: "Let's see!" ”

"Jinyiwei's signal?" Mazi exclaimed in surprise.

He looked at Tang Tingbai, his eyes full of shock: "You are Jinyiwei's people?" ”

Tang Tingbai nodded, and his voice was cold: "Violating the laws of the imperial court and openly collecting tolls is a sin of killing your head, how do you want to die and choose a position!" ”

Decollation?

Mazi took a deep breath, and his already ugly face became even more ugly.

He subconsciously took a step back: "You can't kill me, my father is the county guard of Fuyang County, besides, you Jinyiwei are also involved in the matter of collecting tolls, why did you kill me?" My cousin is a hundred household officials of Jinyiwei. ”

As she spoke, Mazi's face retreated, obviously preparing to escape.

After taking a dozen steps back, Mazi ran with a broken face, and the speed was very fast.

Seeing this scene, Tang Tingbai smiled disdainfully.

He took the steel knife from Shen Quan's hand and threw it out directly.

Whoosh –

Steel knives break the wind.

Puff –

"Ahh

The steel knife directly cut off the legs of the pockmarked face.

Mazi covered her broken leg covered with blood on her face, and fell to the ground screaming.

"Boy, no matter who you are, if you cut off Lao Tzu's leg, my father will definitely not let you go, and Lao Tzu will break your body into thousands of pieces!!" Mazi's face was pale and covered with cold sweat.

In this regard, Tang Tingbai smiled disdainfully, he didn't bother to take care of this pockmarked face.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard again at the city gate.

This time there were hundreds of people.

On the left is a group of brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and holding embroidered spring knives.

On the right are a group of officials wearing Dayan official uniforms.

A brocade guard in his thirties trotted and walked up to Tang Tingbai with a respectful attitude: "Hu Wan, the subordinate Jinyi Wei hundred household officials, greets all the adults!" ”

Tang listened to Bai Leng snort and slapped Hu Wan's hat away.

"Hu Wan, this son asks you, what's the matter with the notice posted at the gate of the city to collect tolls?"

This......

Hu Wan hurriedly smiled flatteringly: "This adult is angry, and his subordinates have also received benefits, so turn a blind eye, don't worry, there will definitely be no loss of your benefits, we are all on errands to eat, no one should get along with silver, don't you say?" ”

Blatant bribery?

And so unscrupulous?

Tang Tingbai sighed.

Why is there this kind of garbage in Jinyiwei?

Without Tang listening to Bai's words, Shen Quan rushed forward with an arrow step, directly breaking Hu Wan's limbs.

Gabba –

Broken bones.

Hu Wan screamed a few times, he didn't expect that this group of adults in brocade clothes would actually do it directly, and they didn't even have time to resist.

At this moment, thousands of people were already around, full of curiosity.

Shen Quan pulled out the steel knife at his waist and aimed it at Hu Wan's neck.

"Fellow villagers, Shen Quan, the official Jinyi Weibei Town, Fusi Town, and Shen Quan."

"As soon as I arrived here today, I heard that Hu Wan, the official of the hundred households of Jinyiwei, was corrupt and perverted the law, and the impact was extremely bad, so this official will correct the law on the spot!"

As he spoke, Shen Quan raised the steel knife high.

And Hu Wan's face was ugly, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "The adults spare their lives, the adults spare their lives, the villain is willing to confess, and he is willing to hand over all the silver taels he is greedy for, and he only asks the adults to spare ......."

Puff –

Before he could finish speaking, the steel knife directly cut his neck.

Blood splattered, and Hu Wan's head rolled out for more than ten meters, and he couldn't see it!

When the surrounding people saw this scene, their eyes widened and they were shocked.

At the gate of the city, a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a county guard was pale, sitting on the ground with his butt and trembling.

He knew Jinyiwei's methods, and the matter was revealed, and all the people involved in this matter couldn't escape.

Tang Tingbai looked at Shen Quan: "The matter here is handed over to you." ”

Shen Quan immediately gave his hand: "My subordinates understand!" ”

Tang Tingbai took Jia Luo directly into Fuyang City!

Walking on the streets of Fuyang City, the people are very poorly dressed, basically with patches, and even many people are wearing torn cotton jackets in winter in this summer.

Seeing this scene, Tang Tingbai frowned.

The people of Dayan are not so miserable, right?

Tang Tingbai didn't speak, and directly took Jia Luo into a tavern with a decent environment, and ordered two side dishes.

Sit by the window.

Tang Tingbai looked out the window, countless beggars, and the indescribable taste in his heart.

Just then, the conversation at the next table came to his ears.

"Boss Zhang, business is not good this year, right?"

"No, the taxes of the imperial court are too heavy, there are more than a dozen kinds of poll tax, commercial tax, and street sweeping tax, and I earn ten taels of silver a month just to pay taxes, and I have to pay nine and a half, barely enough to fill my stomach."

"Hey, let's do this well, look at those peasants, who have worked hard for a year to remove the taxes paid, which family must not starve to death?"

“……”

The three middle-aged businessmen at the next table were talking.

And after listening to their words, Tang Tingbai's face was even more gloomy.

How can the taxes of Fuyang County be so heavy?

Tang Tingbai had already issued a holy decree and reduced a lot of taxes for the people in Dayan.

But listening to what they mean, it seems that the taxes are a lot heavier?

Half an hour later, Shen Quan, the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, walked into the inn with a hundred Jinyi guards tied up with flowers.

These hundred people are the members of the Jinyi Guard stationed in Fuyang City, although Hu Wan is the mastermind, they also participated, and received money!

And seeing so many brocade guards, the diners in the hall fled out of the inn.

Shen Quan ignored everyone, he walked up to Tang Tingbai's side, his voice respectful.

"Childe, the matter has been fully investigated."

"Hu Baiyan, the county guard of Fuyang County, has been corrupt and perverted the law to enrich his own pockets, especially in the past month, he has been crazy about collecting taxes."

"That pockmarked face just now is his son, and as for Hu Wan, the official of the Jinyi Guard, he is the distant nephew of this Hu Baiyan."

"The subordinates have searched the homes of all the officials involved in the case, and a total of two million taels of silver have been found."

"A county guard, a brocade guard, and hundreds of households colluded with each other, which caused the people of Fuyang County to be so poor!"

Two million taels?

Hearing this number, Tang Tingbai was shocked.

How many people had to be exploited to get so much money?

Shen Quan raised his head and hesitated: "Your Majesty, that Fuyang County Shou Hu Baiyan has explained some things again, and his subordinates don't know whether to talk about it or not......
