Seeing that this old color batch is about to succeed!

Zhu Qimeng regretted not listening to Father Hou's words, if he had learned some boxing and kicking kung fu from Uncle Housekeeper, he would not be so helpless today.

The old color batch has already taken off Zhu Qimeng's outer blouse.

I have to say that this Zhu Qimeng's figure is really bumpy and very youthful.

Under the flickering candlelight, it adds a faint hazy beauty.

Zhu Qimeng sighed, helpless tears flowing from her eyes.

"Stop!" Zhong Ning jumped over the wall and punched the old skin's eyes spinning.

"You are not ashamed of being an old man who is disrespectful, this is how the sages taught you to be a man, you are really blind to the good name your parents gave you!"

Zhong Ning scolded while hurriedly protecting Zhu Qimeng behind him.

Zhu Qimeng looked at the man in front of him, who was not burly, and became even more determined that this was the man he wanted to marry in his life.

The top priority is to restore her identity as an official lady as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be a problem to hide in Tibet like this.

Zhang Lao Beast ate such a big deflate, how could he easily give up, so he came up with a plan and asked Huang County, the chief official of Chongyang County, for a reward document to arrest Zhong Ning and others.

"This is okay, but it is okay, the county government is financially tight, this reward fee, fifty taels of one person? Still alive or dead? I'm afraid this will be difficult to deliver. Huang Xianling's face was embarrassed.

Although the Huang County Order is a county parent official, he has no choice but to have too shallow foundation. You're welcome, I'm a puppet puppet, and I can't be the master.

The personnel and financial rights of Chongyang County are all controlled by Master Zhang. The people of the county only know that there is a master book but do not know that there is a Huang County order.

It is said that Chongyang is a poor county, but it is not true, it is rich in sulfur and saltpeter.

Chongyang is endowed with unique natural resources, as early as the Yuan Dynasty, there were fireworks workshops, and at its peak, nine out of ten households in the county were engaged in fireworks production.

The fireworks are of high quality and varied, with high quality and low price, and the fireworks and firecrackers produced are exported to Goguryeo and Tianzhu.

This old beast ancestor has been doing this for three generations, and he is considered a famous family in the local area.

When people have money, they want power, so I don't know through what channels they climbed the high branch of Zhenyuanhou, and donated a real job as the head of a county, Jiupin.

The grade is roughly equivalent to that of today's executive deputy county magistrate.

A businessman never buys or sells at a loss.

Taking advantage of the rotation of the old and new county orders in Chongyang County, Zhang Yumu hooked up with the county and held the real power of the county's fireworks sales and production franchise.

I have to say that this beast's eyes are vicious.

There are as many as 200,000 taels of silver in a year for license and franchise tax, accounting for eighty percent of the financial revenue of Chongyang County.

Mastering financial power means mastering half of the county's right to speak.

This old beast knows that it is all greedy for ink, and it is too easy to be exposed.

According to the prior agreement, these corrupt officials divided the taxes that should have been paid to the imperial court.

Over the years, the county order has changed one after another, and the county and the main book are still as stable as an old dog.

Due to the tight war ahead, the imperial court set up a special tax department the year before last.

Each county is a tax bureau, which is responsible for investigating and dealing with tax evasion and tax evasion.

The neighboring county Qi County Order was found to be embezzling five taels of tax and silver, and was notified to his superiors by the Taxation Bureau and sentenced to a final decision.

Zhang Lao and his gang saw that the court was going to move seriously, so they replaced it with themselves taking 20 draws and the tax bureau hosting 20 draws.

After all, there is too much oil and water, and anyone who sees it will be excited.

The tax bureau is also not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"County master, you don't have to worry about this, I have my own plan." Zhang Lao didn't know what bad water he was holding.

Huang Xianling was stunned in his heart, this old guy wants to fake the public and fat again.

A lot of the monthly filial piety money of this old thing was delivered on time, which was more punctual than the imperial court.

I also wanted to be a good official at the beginning, but I saw with my own eyes that the former Dianshi was stunned and refused to go along with the dirt, and fell off the cliff and died the next day, so I couldn't help but feel related.

Huang Xianling was born in a scholarly family, lost his father at the age of three, his family was in the middle of the road, and the road to the imperial examination was smooth, and he was only 27 years old when he was a top three jinshi and the first.

According to the practice of Ming officialdom, there is no problem in entering the Hanlin Academy as a Jishi.

In case the ancestor accumulates virtue and is selected as the prince's companion, the future will be even more limitless.

But the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, where can they see so far, he is blind, and he only knows that the real benefits of the place where he is released are more than the Hanlin Academy.

Although Uncle Jia Guo, the secretary of the cabinet of his mentor, repeatedly retained him, he still insisted on delegating the place.

It has to be said that poverty can sometimes really limit people's imagination and even affect the development of life.

The reality has also taught a good lesson to Huang County, and the top three jinshi in Enke in the same class are at least four official residences.

And he will be forty-five years old next year, and he is still at the same level.

The place of service has been changed again and again, from the wealthy Wuxi, Jiangsu Province to the high mountain and the emperor is far away from Huguang Chongyang.

Every five years, the officials are evaluated, and other magistrates do what kind of books are written to put gold on themselves.

He firmly believes that as long as he serves the people well, his superiors will always be able to see it.

He was also resentful that he didn't meet him, but it didn't help.

Before the age of forty-five, Huang Xian ordered one person to feed the whole family without hunger, but now he can't, he married a wife and gave birth to twin sons.

Before it was released, he would not accept this filial piety money.

But looking at the pair of lovely sons who were waiting to be fed, he compromised.

Huang County Commander took out the big seal of the county official's main hall.

Zhang Zhushu took out the reward notice that had been prepared a long time ago.

He grabbed the official seal, stamped the big seal skillfully, and blew the notice with a sigh.

Huang County Ling sighed.

Fortunately, it will be transferred to Qi County next month.

It's only been a few days, and for the sake of Mrs., Wen'er, and Wu'er, I put up with it.

The big husband can bend and stretch, and any promotion and wealth are floating clouds.

As long as the family is safe and happy together, the wife and children are hot on the kang, which is better than anything else.

"Male and female thieves, a reward of 50 taels, life or death doesn't matter!" A young man who looked like a scholar read aloud in the crowd.

Overnight, this bounty notice was plastered all over the streets and alleys of Chongyang County.

Zhong Ning had no guide, so he could only go out day and night, digging some wild vegetables when he was hungry and drinking some mountain spring water when he was thirsty.

Occasionally, you can eat hot food when you encounter a stream, catch some fish and shrimp and grill them to satisfy your hunger.

Zhu Qimeng really deserves to have seen the world, and there is also a map of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, she said that this is his father's relic, which his father used to march and fight.

Helplessly, although this Chongyang County is called a county, because of the vast land and many mountains, the area under its jurisdiction is as big as one and a half Wuchang Prefecture, and the two of them walked for half a month to reach the Chongyang realm monument.

"Hurry up!" Several horseback riders dressed as servants cleared the way, and a carriage galloped past Zhong Ning.

The dust that rolled up choked Zhong Ning and coughed violently.

"Hurry up and reincarnate! Don't see anyone? Zhong Ning looked at the distant convoy and scolded.

Zhong Ning wiped the dust on his face, and Zhu Qimeng beside him was also gray, the two looked at each other and smiled, and continued to hurry.

"The front has entered the boundary of Qi County!" Zhu Qimeng couldn't hide her excitement, "A Ning, you see, this is here, and the camp of the minister is not far ahead!" ”

These days, the two have supported each other and become closer.

Zhu Qimeng no longer called Zhong Ning Zhong Gongzi in a polite manner, but called him A-Ning.

"Xiao Wu, let's go, in case I meet a beast like Zhang Shixian again......" Zhong Ning's slightly tired face became serious. Zhu Qimeng is the fifth oldest brother and sister in the family, so her family calls her Little Five, and outsiders call her Zhu Fifth Sister.

"......" Zhu Qimeng felt like he had been shocked, Zhang Shixian, the old dog, was still alive and well, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Little Wu, that old beast, sooner or later we will have to clean him up!" Zhong Ning noticed the abnormality, and hurriedly played a round, secretly scolding himself in his heart for not opening which pot to mention.

The Ningwang rebels have recently gained ground on the battlefield, and the number of displaced people in Qi County has increased dramatically.

The guards around the camp were even tighter, and a curfew was imposed as soon as it was dark within a radius of five miles. Within a mile of the camp, five hundred archers were arranged.

If you break in, I'm afraid that you will be shot into a hedgehog if you don't see the gate of the Chinese army in the camp.

When Zhong Ning was at a loss, he meditated hard, and finally remembered that his family had a tooth shop in Qi County, which specialized in supplying fresh vegetables to the army.

"Why don't I get mixed in with the handyman who delivers the food and wait for the opportunity to move?" Zhong Ning's tightly knit brows gradually relaxed.

Qi County Zhong Ai Yaxing

"Are you Young Master Ning? What international jokes? I think you're a beggar! A man in a gray cloth coat was driving people outside the store, and his tone was arrogant.

"Less nonsense! Please ask Qin Fu'an, who is in charge of your family, to come out and speak! Zhong Ning was thinking about Zhu Qimeng in his heart and didn't want to explain too much.

In terms of seniority, Qin Fu'an, the shopkeeper of this tooth shop, he Zhong Ning still wants to call Uncle Qin. But today's matter is urgent, and I can't take care of much.

"Don't inquire, what is the origin of our Zhong Aiya, you little bastard still dare to call my shopkeeper by name, have you eaten bear heart and leopard gall?" The smile of the gray cloth coat gradually disappeared, knowing that something was wrong, and his mouth was still hard, "You wait!" I'm going to tell my shopkeeper and see how he cleans up your stinky beggar!" ”

After the gray cloth coat finished speaking, he shouted to the back hall of the store: Shopkeeper, here's a visitor!

I saw a middle-aged man walking out of the back hall.

The man wears his usual clothes, has a big belly, and seems to eat well.

This man's name is Qin Fu'an, and he is a domestic slave of the Xue family.

Domestic slaves are the kind of wild species born by Yahuan and Jiading, who often only know their mothers, but not their fathers.

The Ming Dynasty fought for many years, and there were not enough men, and the imperial court turned a blind eye to this kind of thing.

The Xue family is the maiden family of Aunt Zhong Ning.

Speaking of this Xue family, it has a lot of origins.

Let's put it this way, there are three Ming Emperor merchants, the Huguang Xue family, the Jinling Wang family, and the Luoyang Xie family, and the strongest strength is the Huguang Xue family.

I don't know what kind of curse I suffered, the Xue family has been thin in the past hundred years, and when it comes to Aunt Zhong Ning's generation, there is only one female son-in-law, Aunt Zhong Ning.

The Jinling Wang family and the Luoyang Xie family were eyeing each other, and wanted to take the opportunity to eat the desperate household, so they jointly wrote to the emperor and said that the Xue family was rich and rivaled the country, but there was no successor, and the supply of military supplies was a major event of the country.
