24. The county order of white prostitution

"The Liu family?"

"The flood in Longcheng occurs every four years, can Mingtang know who built the water gate every time, including the Di Gong Gate?"

"Isn't it every county magistrate?"

"Yes and no."

"Oh?"

"Xiaguan wants to congratulate Mingtang first, when he arrives in our Dragon City, a good place."

"Good place? Better than Luoyang Lintai? ”

"This is not comparable, but it is not enough to compare, but it is much more than enough, and it is easy to be a county magistrate to be promoted and make a fortune, isn't it a good place to go?"

"Once every four years, the flood can be simple, and you can still be promoted and make a fortune, only such a good thing? You'll have to ask for advice. ”

"Hey, don't you dare to ask for advice...... In fact, these are the regular practices of each county magistrate after taking office, everyone acquiesces, even if the lower official does not say it, there will be other people who say it to Mingtang, but today I saw that Mingtang has the ambition to make great efforts, and I can't bear Mingtang to take a thankless detour, so the lower official has to remind me a little. ”

"Listen up."

"When the successive Longcheng commanders encountered a big flood, they would visit the local tyrants and squires as soon as possible to raise donations, and if they donated, the rich farmers would follow ......."

"Understood, is it true that after the success of the matter, the money of the local tyrants and squires will be returned, and the money of the people and good citizens will be divided into thirty or seventy?"

"Hey, Mingtang didn't know it, it seems that the lower officials were self-inflicted...... However, Mingtang's direct distribution is too ruthless, and the money of the people and good people can't be fully divided, we have to take out a part of the disaster relief and water control, and the division is famous, so that no one can figure out the problem, but when it comes to disaster relief and water control, we can save a little bit, and the strong men in the disaster victims can be used directly, which is another ......"

"Master Diao is really ...... It's too warm. ”

"Everywhere, it is all wise and compassionate. In addition, what Mingtang just said is not entirely true, we don't have to pay back the money of the local tyrant squire, we are their parents, and we are not kneeling to ask for food, Longcheng is in trouble, let them donate some money to help Mingtang share their worries. But ......"

"It turns out that the official seal of my Dragon City Order is so valuable? Everyone has to save face. ”

Mingtang laughed. However, there is the most critical point in this, if you want the local tyrants and squires to donate more, and the people and good people follow suit, there must be a 'family' to take the lead in raising donations! ”

"Who? Oh...... The Yanagi family. ”

"That's right! The Liu family on the west bank is the first family in Longcheng, only if they take the lead in donating a large amount of disaster money, other local tyrants and squires will follow, otherwise these people are all shrunken turtles and can't donate a few silver...... And the money donated by the Liu family, we have to return it in full afterwards, and if people give face, we must also be sincere, and the rest of the silver raised will be divided with them. ”

"And three percent?"

"Thirty percent is ours, and seventy percent is someone else's."

"Then aren't we just kneeling and begging for food? Say it earlier, you're going around in a big circle to ask for food. ”

"Hey Mingtang, you listen to the officials first, seventy percent is hard work for them, and when the time comes, they will send a group of elite craftsmen to help us rebuild the Di Gong Gate, this is a technical job, the most exquisite craftsmen in the entire Dragon City are all in their Guyue Sword Shop, and they can't ask for it on weekdays......

"So when the time comes, we only need to draw a group of strong men from the victims to assist the Liu family craftsmen in repairing the gates. Let's divide it into three, not chilling. To repair the Di Gong Gate, if you don't waste a copper plate in the court and the state, the flood will be cured, Mingtang, if you don't get promoted, who will be promoted? ”

"Lord Diao has been promoted."

"Everywhere, it all depends on Mingtang."

"Rely on me to take you to your knees to ask for food?"

“……”

"Lord Diao, do you know why the contemptible people are here?"

"Accidentally bumped into the empress and princess?"

"No, my bones are too hard to kneel down in the court, so I'm sitting here."

"It turns out that Mingtang is really a righteous gentleman."

"Not really. If you want to eat, you can; Kneeling, no. ”

"What kind of thing does Mingtang want? Forgive the official way of doing too low, and I can't understand it. ”

"You say, can't I just stand up and ask for food?"

"Poof~"

"This tea spray is quite artistic."

"You... Ahem, ahem... Aren't you a prostitute? ”

"What did you say?"

I said...... Mingtang Takami. ”

……

"Jinshi Tanhualang? Qipinzhi County? Aren't you just here to kneel and ask for food! What kind of gentleman to pretend? Clear your mother's height! Hastily ......"

In a luxurious courtyard, a group of swarthy Kunlun slaves knelt in a row at the door, not daring to look up, and in the room in front of them, there was a crackling sound and a man's roar.

The precious porcelain, landscape paintings, antique gold and stones, gems and spices in the house were all smashed to the ground, and there was a lame figure frantically swinging the sword, cutting the sandalwood house and the table of the eight immortals...... When you see something, you slash and slash it.

It seems to be to cut back all the face that fell on someone.

No one in the courtyard dared to answer, because everyone had no doubt that if Liu Zilin in the house was concerned at this moment, then the sword would fall on their necks in the next second, and he would not blink his eyes.

However, although Liu Zilin has a tyrannical personality, is rampant and domineering in Dragon City, and has a very bad reputation, he is very sorry for this name, but he has two brothers who are recognized as excellent.

The eldest brother Liu Ziwen and the second brother Liu Zi'an.

For these three brothers, some outsiders jokingly call the three tigers of the Liu family, among them, Liu Ziwen "Wise Tiger", Liu Zian "Sick Tiger", and Liu Zilin "Crazy Tiger".

At present, Liu Zilin has not taken over the family business, and the Gu Yue Sword Shop and all the family properties are managed by his two brothers.

Liu Ziwen and Liu Zi'an are the main and the second, supporting the "Dragon King Willow" on the west bank of Butterfly Creek.

"And the little girl who shot my eagle, the academy is a great humane? Think our Liu family doesn't have a qi practitioner? Wait for Lao Tzu, step on the horse! ”

Liu Zilin was still swinging his sword and was furious, but a lame middle-aged servant walked outside the courtyard, kneeling into a group of slaves through the courtyard.

The lame servant stopped in front of the door, his expression calm:

"Third young master, second young master asked the servant to take the words: go back to the house, be grounded for ten years, you are not allowed to go out to make trouble, and that orchid is not allowed to move again."

Liu Zilin instantly quieted down, but the hand under his sleeve was clenched into a fist.

The "Mad Tiger" roared between his teeth: "Could it be that Lao Tzu has been overshadowed and just like that?" ”

The lame servant said with a normal face: "The second young master also said that if it is the county order that breaks the leg today, then he and the eldest young master will wipe your butt for you, but unfortunately the one who broke the leg is a waste, wipe the butt by himself, pick up the leg by himself, don't dirty his hands with such a trivial matter." ”

The corners of Liu Zilin's mouth twitched fiercely.

He was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Did the eldest brother speak?" ”

The lame servant who was about to turn around and leave glanced at Liu Zilin and nodded:

The eldest young master was also beside him at the time, and said to the second young master...... The new county magistrate likes justice, so give him justice.

"In addition, the eldest young master also said that if the third young master asked, then let the servant also bring a word for him, and let the third young master think about how to pick up his legs after listening to it."

"Say." Liu Zilin dropped his sword and spat out a word.

The lame servant learned the tone of the young master, and his tone was light:

"The new county order and the Xie family girl can't be killed for the time being.

"Murderer, punish the heart."
