"Yun'er, what do you see?" After the guy retreated, Zhu Wenyu asked Tang Yun while drinking tea.

“…… Yes? What? Tang Yun didn't react for a while.

"What are you thinking?"

"I didn't ...... I didn't think about anything, I was thinking, the scenery here is so beautiful, if we can live in seclusion like Aunt Zhao in the future in a place where no one knows us, live happily, raise some chickens and ducks, and go to the river to fish, or ...... Or open a tea shop like this, talk to the passing guests every day, chat, and look at the scenery, how beautiful is that? Tang Yun is obviously in a reverie.

"Hehe, look at your beauty, why do you want to go so far? Let's talk about the things in front of us first, we are running like this on the rivers and lakes, and we don't know what will happen tomorrow today, if I die like this last time, what can I think about in the future......"

"Don't talk nonsense! Crow's beak!" Tang Yun hurriedly interrupted Zhu Wenyu.

"Hehe, good, good, don't say it, don't say it, don't say it." Zhu Wenyu didn't believe in this set at all, but seeing that Tang Yun was really anxious, he hurriedly stopped.

"What did you ask me just now?" Tang Yun came back to her senses and asked.

"I didn't ask anything, look at you absent-mindedly, it's useless to ask." Zhu Wenyu didn't have a good airway.

"You say. Say it!" Tang Yun thought there was something serious.

"It's nothing, I mean, what the second brother said, why did the prefect of Leshan here suddenly raise the road tax so high? It stands to reason that this tax increase must be ordered by the imperial court, at least it must be ordered by Wei Zhengxing and their political envoy Yamen, I don't think Wei Zhengxing is a corrupt official, how can they take the big risk of ruining the water transportation of the Minjiang River and increase such a high tax? It can't be added by the prefect here privately, right? This is a great sin. Zhu Wenyu said as he frowned and thought.

"Alas, don't worry about this kind of thing, it's none of your business, we just need to find a boat to go down the Yangtze River." Tang Yun said.

"No, I have to take care of this kind of thing. You grew up in Tangjiabao, and you don't know the suffering of the common people, but the suffering is really worse than death. ”

"Huh, you know? Didn't you grow up in the capital? Tang Yun said disdainfully.

"Wasn't I just a common man before the emperor's uncle took me to the capital? My family all died in the war, my father and mother died, and my brother was gone, so I was left alone to follow Mr. Chen, one old and one young, who had no last meal, and who was still messing around on the streets, and who didn't have any new clothes to wear for a year, and the porridge that was so rare that it could show the shadow of a person, just order pickles, which was not bad, sometimes I couldn't even eat gruel, and I relied on the neighbors to help a little, otherwise I would have starved to death......" Zhu Wenyu said while thinking back to his childhood.

"I ...... I don't know, Brother Yu, it turns out that you used to ...... too" Tang Yun's eyes were slightly red.

"Yes, the little people are having a hard time. Last time in Bazhong, Wang Dingbiao was a bastard, even if he took green vegetables and tofu to Lao Tzu to eat, it didn't matter, Lao Tzu didn't have to eat it, but under the sign of Lao Tzu to harm the people, young master, I had to take his life!"

"That'...... So let's ask the prefect here? See what's going on with this tax? Tang Yun understood what Zhu Wenyu meant.

"Don't worry, let's inquire and inquire, we must find him, even if there is the emperor's uncle's holy decree, it has to be added less, it can't be so high, I will discuss other things with the emperor's uncle, this tax has to be lowered first, you see, there is not even a wooden raft in this river, how can these little people who rely on water to eat live?" Zhu Wenyu stretched out his hand and swept out the window.

"Well, listen to you, Brother Yu, let's inquire again."

The two of them got out of the tea shop, went around the wharf again, pretended to be foreign merchants who wanted to consign small batches of goods, chatted with the porters on the wharf, and happened to meet two or three gangsters who originally belonged to the Minjiang Gang, and talked for a while. It wasn't until the sun was waning and the sun was red for a long time that Zhu Wenyu led Tang Yun to inquire about the path all the way and found the Zhizhou Yamen in Leshan County.

The Zhizhou Yamen is in the east of the city, not far from the wharf, with red bricks and green tiles, very solemn. Two officers at the door, carrying knives at their waists, walked back and forth, driving away the idlers and others who were close to the gate.

Zhu Wenyu took out the folding fan, and while walking towards the gate, he also pretended to gently shake the folding fan leisurely, at this time, the cold winter has just passed, and the early spring is still cold, where to use what fan? It's just pretending to be Sven to decorate the façade, a rich son, plus a very beautiful Tang Yun, dressed in purple, and holding a long sword, it looks like a close-fitting girl who knows martial arts, and at a glance you know that it is not a character from ordinary people. The two messengers saw the two slowly approaching, glanced at each other, and knew that these two people were by no means people who could drink and drive away casually, so they hurriedly approached and said: "This son, this place is the Yamen of the Zhizhou of Leshan County, idlers are not allowed to approach, if the son has something, please give the name and wait for the villain to report, if there is nothing to do, please also ask the son to take care of himself, do not stay outside the gate." "He was polite and really well trained.

"Thank you. In Xia Zhu Wenyu, he really asked to see Lord Liu of Zhizhou, and asked the eldest brother of the official to report it. Zhu Wenyu folded the fan and arched his hand.

"I don't know if Childe has a famous post?"

"I haven't brought a name sticker under it, and the big brother only needs to report it."

The two messengers saw that Zhu Wenyu didn't even bring his name sticker, so they dared to come to the door to ask to see Lord Zhizhou, and after a look, they knew that this person was probably not small, so they didn't dare to say much, and one said: "Then please wait for the son, and the little one will go back immediately to report it." ”

"Thank you, big brother." Zhu Wenyu took two steps back, opened the folding fan with a swoop, and shook it a few times pretendedly. Tang Yun was watching this prodigal brother who was not serious on weekdays pretending to be such a serious person at this time, and smiled secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to show his face and was silent.

After a while, only to hear the sound of "squeak", the gate of the Zhizhou Yamen opened, and a middle-aged man with a square face and beard, dressed in a purple official robe of the six-grade heron, was about forty or fifty years old, leading more than ten people who looked like servants to come out of it and stand under the eaves. The man arched his hands and said loudly: "I don't know which one is Zhu Gongzi, but the imperial court sent Lord Zhu?" ”

"Down there is Zhu Wenyu." Zhu Wenyu folded the fan and took a step forward and arched his hand.

"Oh, I don't know where Zhu Gongzi came from? Is there a token? The official stared at Zhu Wenyu and asked.

Zhu Wenyu knew what the official wanted to ask, and he had to ask about the tax as a messenger when he came to him this time, so he didn't speak, and took out the golden imperial gold medal from his arms with a smile.

When the official saw it, he quickly knelt down, and there was also a hula lala kneeling behind him, and only a long-bearded man dressed as a scribe in his forties and fifties was still smiling and standing quietly, and did not bow to the ground.

I only heard the man lying on the ground and said loudly: "Liu Shicheng, the governor of Leshan County, greets Lord Qincha Zhu." ”

"Lord Liu, please get up, no need to be polite, Zhu is just passing by here and is here to visit Lord Liu." Zhu Wenyu was accustomed to this kind of scene, so he naturally greeted with his mouth handily, raised his hands falsely, and helped Liu Shicheng of Nazhizhou up.

When Liu Shicheng stood up, Zhu Wenyu asked with a smile: "I don't know who this gentleman is?" His eyes looked at the long-bearded man who didn't kneel.

"Oh, this is Mr. Yu Shixiong Yu of Qingcheng Mountain, he is a friend of the lower officials, and he heard that Lord Qincha came, and he also came to greet him, Mr. Yu is not a person in my officialdom, and he has a reputation for fame, so he did not kneel to greet him, and I hope Lord Qincha will forgive his sins." Liu Shicheng hurriedly explained.

"Yu Shixiong in Xiaqingcheng faction, I have heard the name of Lord Zhu for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to see it, and when I see it today, I really admire the heroic boy very much." The man arched his hand and said loudly.

Originally, Zhu Wenyu felt very familiar when he heard the words "Yu Shixiong", and when he heard what the man said, he suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was the head of the Qingcheng faction in Sichuan, "Ruyi Sword" Yu Shixiong, last time because of the Shaolin Muye master, Yu Shixiong replied to the abbot of Muyun that he was unwell, and he was recuperating in the view, and he did not go to Shaolin to attend the meeting, so he didn't see it, but he didn't expect to see it here.

I saw that Yu Shixiong was dressed in a gray robe, dressed as a scribe, with a thin appearance, a long beard, and a smile on his face, Zhu Wenyu felt amiable at a glance, and learned that it was the head of the Qingcheng faction who was ranked among the famous martial arts families in the Central Plains, and the famous "Ruyi Divine Sword" in the rivers and lakes, and there was a sense of closeness. Hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Don't dare, Yu Zhangmen is famous, last time I didn't see Zunfan in Shaolin Temple, I didn't expect to meet here today, it is really an honor for the younger generation." ”

"Mr. Yu and Lord Qincha are old acquaintances?" Zhizhou Liu Shicheng was surprised.

"Oh, it's not an old acquaintance, it's just that Zhu Gongzi is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he is already famous in the martial arts. Yu Shixiong said with a smile.

"Don't dare, don't dare, Master Yu has won the award, and the younger generation is just at the right time, how can you catch up with any civil and military all-rounders? The martial arts seniors are the models for the younger generations to learn. ”

"Hehe, okay, okay, if we have something to say in the hall, we don't need to be polite here. Lord Zhu, please come in quickly, Mr. Yu, please too. Liu Shicheng hurriedly greeted.

"I wonder how Lord Liu became friends with Master Yu?" Zhu Wenyu sat down in the hall, took the tea offered by the officer, took a sip, and said.

"Oh, Mr. Yu is an all-round talent in literature and martial arts, but he is only a literary friend with Xia Guan, and he often talks about poetry and Fu with Mr. Yu, but Xia Guan is only shallow in learning, and he will only fool some sour words and crooked sentences, although Xia Guan knows that Mr. Yu is also the head of the Qingcheng faction, but Xia Guan is not proficient in martial arts, and he doesn't know that Mr. Yu has such a reputation in martial arts, which is really ashamed, ashamed."
