Mu Wanwan: ?

"No, we're not robbing, we're going to pay!"

"Nature."

The cake shop vendor came over with all kinds of pastries, and Mu Wanwan had already climbed out of the carriage and squatted to choose.

Seeing that the vendor was dressed neatly, Han Xin couldn't help asking, "How long have you been setting up a stall on this street?" ”

The peddler waved his hand and looked bitter, "Oh, Lang Jun, don't mention it, we only came here a few days ago." ”

"Because of the war?"

The peddler sneered, not angry, gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, "It's not the previous city lord yet, in order to avoid taxes, we really hid in Tibet with our stalls." ”

"What if you don't pay taxes?"

The peddler's eyes widened, "Don't pay? Then even people took the stalls and threw them out of the city, his high tax is terrifying, our kind of small business, we can't earn a hundred wen a day, he actually has to collect two taels of silver a month, and all the livelihood of a month has to be handed over, isn't this forcing people to die? ”

Mu Wanwan took a bunch of pastries, and the vendor neatly wrapped them in oiled paper, Mu Wanwan said curiously, "Then do you think it is appropriate for a small stall like yours to pay how much tax each month?" ”

"I heard that there are official management of the city, are a hundred a month, this year, wars are raging, you can make money today may not be alive tomorrow, if you want me to say, this tax should be earned more and pay more, like us who can't earn a few copper plates, pay so much is not fatal!"

The vendor handed the oiled paper bag to Mu Wanwan, and immediately pulled out a bright and flattering smile, "Lady, your pastries are wrapped, a total of thirty wen." ”

Mu Wanwan touched her waist, remembered that she didn't have any money, and suddenly became embarrassed, so she saw that Han Xin had already taken out a broken silver from her waist and put it on the vendor's pastry plate.

"Lang Jun, wait, I'll go back and get the copper plate to find you."

Han Xin said lightly, "No need. ”

He raised his hand and drew the reins, and the two horses began to move again, and the peddler could not modify the plate of pastries, and he scratched his head and wondered as he watched the carriage go farther and farther.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Lang Jun who has made such a generous move, eh, didn't our town change hands yesterday, it was an eventful time, why are there still rich and noble people coming into the city today?"

The vendors next to him saw that he had won a broken silver for nothing, and they all laughed and said, "What are you doing in charge of others, this broken silver is worth what you have earned in ten days, you can steal the fun!" ”

Mu Wanwan didn't care about this bit of broken silver, the gold and silver they moved from Hengyueting were packed in several large boxes.

"I found that if you want to understand how to make a decree, you still have to ask from the mouths of the people, what kind of policies they want to benefit the people, and which policies they feel they can't stand it."

She was still chewing pastries in her mouth, and her speech was slurred, but her eyes were like torches, and she was curious and delighted.

Han Shin thought so too.

But the most important thing at the moment is to wait for Zhao Yun to come back.

The carriage was parked at the gate of the county magistrate's office, the door was unguarded, and a broken lantern had fallen on the ground, which looked a little deserted.

"The prefectural government here...... Deserted? ”

Han Xin helped her get out of the carriage, Mu Wanwan raised her hand and half-squinted, looking at the mansion in front of her, Han Xin raised her hand and blocked the hot sun above her head.

"Let's go inside."

He strode towards the prefectural mansion and kicked the door open unceremoniously, but there was still no one inside.

Han Xin led Mu Wanwan with a familiar car, this county mansion looked a little old from the outside, but inside it was carved beams and painted columns, exquisite and rich, the garden courtyard, and even the roof of the main hall were covered with crystal clear glazed tiles.

"This county order is really rich, a tyrant town, it is even more luxurious than Mrs. Huaiying's mansion, tsk, so let's say, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver."

Han Xin said coldly, "More than that." ”

Mu Wanwan took a closer look again, good guy, even the cloister is paved with white marble, delicate and moist, and it is worth a lot of money at a glance.

"In addition to being a county magistrate, does he have any other side jobs, or is he only corrupt, and this greedy money is too much, right?"

Mu Wanwan was amazed, and followed Han Xin to the main hall, in the main hall, there were two rows of people kneeling neatly, and after hearing their voices, their heads were lowered.

There were dozens of large mahogany boxes piled up in front of the two rows of people, Han Xin approached, although they didn't look up to see who it was, but they also knew from the footsteps that the killing god was coming.

"Hui, Hui, General, we ...... Oh no, the little one, all the valuable things of the little one are here, please let the general spare the little one, please! ”

The man at the head was dressed in plain clothes, and his head slammed to the ground, and he listened to it in a dull and terrifying way, and after a while, there was an extra blood stain on the marble floor in front of him.

Han Xin kicked open a mahogany chest, which was cluttered with gold and silver ingots, mixed with some pearls.

Mu Wanwan stood directly on the spot.

Niu, Niu, he has a county order, and this family is no less than the bandits in Hengyueting!

"Okay."

Han Xin opened his lips lightly and spit out this word, but it was comparable to heaven, and the group of people kneeling on the ground immediately kowtowed wildly.

The county magistrate was very conscious, and asked his subordinates to move all those mahogany boxes to the carriage, he licked his face, a little cramped, and looked at Han Xin with a flattering smile, "If the general is not at ease, you can also search it, there will definitely be no left, my family beans are empty." ”

"Then you don't have any money, why do you want to die?"

Mu Wanwan asked sincerely.

The county magistrate probably didn't expect that Mu Wanwan would suddenly be able to ask such a question, and she was stunned for a while, choking.

Han Xin raised his eyebrows, and between his playful eyebrows, there was a little coldness, and the county magistrate couldn't help but shudder.

"The little one, the little one is ready to take the family all the way to beg and ask for food, and he will definitely not leave a piece of money on him, General Mingjian!"

He immediately knelt down again to kowtow, Mu Wanwan hugged his arms and said curiously, "What did you do to make General Mu so dissatisfied and want your whole family to be confiscated?" ”

The county commander was so frightened that he cowered and didn't dare to speak at all.

Han Xin sneered, his eyebrows and eyes were calm, and his tone seemed to be casual, but it was so low that it seemed to shake his heart and lungs.

"It's not a big deal, it's nothing more than that the female cadre killed a dozen little girls, robbed a few married women, forced people to die, smashed a few hawkers' stalls, broke their cars in public, warned everyone not to evade taxes, and drugged the previous county order assigned by the official family and threw it into the barracks for hundreds of soldiers to play with to death."

Mu Wanwan's face became paler and paler when she heard this, and she looked at the thin man kneeling in front of her in disbelief.
