Watching the hideous-looking creditor leave, Long Keduo breathed a sigh of relief.

In just three days, where can he get three hundred taels of silver?

In order to get rid of the entanglement of creditors, he had to set foot on the road to Tianyuan Mansion.

Two days later, Bai Luomei, the fourth master, and the thirteenth master arrived at Tianyuan Mansion.

Looking at the lively street, Bai Luomei was full of interest, and without saying a word, she pulled the two of them down to the restaurant.

"What a head this day is!"

"Don't say it, this is our life, who told us to be born in Tianyuan Mansion, and the annual taxes overwhelm us, so that's it, but the governor has to set up a name, send conscripts, collect money and silver, and the court doesn't care about it."

"What you said, that's nothing, we still have our lives, but don't do anything, otherwise we really won't be able to live!"

"I heard that the emperor is going to celebrate his holy birthday, and the governor is going to give a big gift to the emperor, where does this silver come from, isn't it from the mouths of our little people?"

As soon as Bai Luomei sat down, she heard the people around her talking about it, and subconsciously gave the fourth master a look.

Tianyuan Mansion is only 200 miles away from the capital, and the original geographical location is superior, and the people can take care of the crops and make a living, and they can also do some small business to make a living, so it is reasonable that the family should be rich.

But as soon as they entered Tianyuan Mansion, they saw beggars everywhere, and some people did not hesitate to sell their children, daughters, and daughters-in-law in order to survive.

Now when I enter the restaurant, I am still complaining.

Bai Luomei muttered in a low voice, "No wonder the old man came all the way to the capital to shout grievances, the people here are afraid of the government, but I am afraid that if this continues, the people will lose confidence in the court." ”

"Master, you have to take care of it, and you must not let those lawless people continue to disregard people's lives and harm the township!"

The fourth master didn't know that there were drawbacks in the place.

But over the years, as Emperor Kangxi has grown old, he has been much more tolerant of his subordinates, and because of Emperor Kangxi's tolerance, his courtiers have become more and more arrogant.

The Thirteenth Master sneered, "This is the case here, I'm afraid it's the same in other places, Huang Ama is too merciful, if it were me, I would have killed them one by one!" ”

"Don't complain, see more and talk less!"

The fourth master raised his eyebrows upside down, carefully reading the words of the people around him.

That's right.

An official swaggered in, arrogant, and scolded the guy for being late.

"Ouch, Zhang Zhutou, how much do you take care of, or the same as before?"

"A pot of wine, a plate of mutton, two side dishes?"

The shopkeeper bowed down and smiled with a smile, humble to the extreme.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhutou looked displeased, slapped the table suddenly, and said sharply, "What about you sending Hanako?" Sir, I am going to entertain friends with you today, you immediately prepare a private room for the master, and all the dishes in your store must be served again, and the ingredients must be fresh! ”

"Dare to be sluggish, be careful, master, I will arrest you into the county government and let you eat in prison for a few years!"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he dared to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the man to prepare.

As soon as Zhang Zhutou was appeased, a few more people entered.

When the shopkeeper saw that person, he subconsciously hid under the counter, and he didn't dare to come out.

"Yo, Master Wang, why are you here?"

"Shopkeeper, sloppy, get out of here for me at once! Serve Master Wang carefully! ”

Zhang Zhutou saluted Master Wang with a smile on his face, wiped the chair with his sleeve respectfully, and invited someone to sit down, "Master Wang, how did you think of coming out to dine?" ”

"You just send a message and ask someone to bring the food to your house, how can you bother to make a trip?" The shopkeeper came out from under the counter aggrievedly, approached timidly, craned his neck, and greeted cautiously.

Bai Luomei watched from the sidelines, scolding in her heart.

This man is too timid and afraid!

Before the other party could say anything, he was so frightened that he couldn't give up.

The master Wang was gentle and elegant, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a mustache, smiled at the shopkeeper's warmth, and motioned for the shopkeeper to sit down, "Zhang Zhutou, this is the territory of the shopkeeper of others, how can you be so rude to the shopkeeper of others, and apologize to the shopkeeper of He." ”

"Master, you ......"

"What, I talked, it didn't work?"

Master Wang frowned, and glanced at Zhang Zhutou lightly, Zhang Zhutou hurriedly smiled and bowed his hand to apologize to Shopkeeper He.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper He was so frightened that he trembled and fidgeted.

"Don't don't, Zhang Zhutou is serious, the villain can serve a few adults, that's the blessing of the villain!" Shopkeeper He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, trembling, walking on thin ice, he couldn't wait to clamp his tail and run away.

What's the situation?

In this master, the power of the head catcher is so great?

Before anything happens, let the shopkeeper cringe?

The next moment, Master Wang took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and put it on the table.

As soon as he saw the silver, Shopkeeper He broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly knelt down, "Master Wang, you, what are you doing?" You can come to the small shop to eat, that is to give the villain a big face, this is the villain is willing to honor you, do not accept cash. ”

"Shopkeeper He, where are you talking about this, we are not relatives, how can I eat and drink for nothing in your place?"

"You prepare a table of wine and food for me and send it to the county office, this is ten taels of silver, and I will pay it back together with the previous account, and we will write it off."

Master Wang helped him up with a smile, and every word made Shopkeeper He frightened.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhutou hurriedly took out the silver from his sleeve and put it on the table.

When the people around saw this scene, they were all so frightened that they didn't dare to come out.

Boy!

What's wrong with these people today, they actually gave money for dinner!

Shopkeeper He looked at the silver on the table, he didn't dare to come out, his forehead was drenched in cold sweat, his neck was stunned in place, and he didn't dare to move.

"In the future, the people of the government will dine here, and if anyone does not give the money, you will sue the government."

Master Wang suddenly spoke, shocking the people present again.

Bai Luomei noticed everyone's eyes, her eyebrows were half-condensed, and she speculated in her heart.

It is natural to give money for dinner, why do these people have such strange expressions?

The arrogant and domineering Zhang Zhutou just now also seemed to be a different person, and he was polite to the shopkeeper.

I saw that the master got up with a smile and bowed to everyone present, "Everyone, this master is on the order of the governor and the master, and I am telling you that if you don't pay for your meal, you can go to the government to complain!" ”

"If the tolerance dares to oppress the people, it is a crime of one more degree, and the governor will never tolerate it!"

As soon as the words fell, Master Wang smiled and solemnly handed over the silver to Shopkeeper He in front of everyone.

Shopkeeper He was holding the silver, trembling all over, and his face was full of incredulity.

After sending off Master Wang and the others, Shopkeeper He sat down on the chair and kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, walking on thin ice.

"Weird! It's weird! ”

"The sun is coming out in the west, what happened to the people in this official house, and why did they return the silver?"

"I said shopkeeper, you dare to take the silver they give you, aren't you afraid that they will come back to you to settle accounts?"
