Song Huan and the others left.

And her existence, Hua Fu and Zou Yueqin did not know.

This indirectly led to the deepening of the contradiction between Hua Fu and Zou Yueqin.

When Hua Fu entered the door of Zou's house, the two didn't know what big moves they would make.

I'm afraid that before the Zou family can really go to the "battlefield", the backyard fire will burn half of the combat power.

As for Mei Qingqing, although she has settled down with Shi You, she has not yet become married.

Isn't Hua Fu an example?

Zou Yueqin couldn't just give up.

Whether Mei Qingqing can guard against it or not, this is a later story.

The struggle between the four major tea merchants has just begun.

Five days later

Song Huan and the others arrived at the edge of the Jincheng boundary.

The sun was blazing, the heat was rolling, as if in a steaming drawer, and the sun curled up the leaves.

Knowing that he kept talking for a long time, adding a layer of irritability to the sultry weather.

Song Huan and the others went directly into the tea shed not far away to rest.

When Xiao Er brought the tea, he asked a lot, "The four of you are going to Jincheng?" ”

Song Huan looked at Fu Yuanzhi, and Fu Yuanzhi said, "No."

Xiao Er said again, "Are you going to pass through Jincheng?" ”

Fu Yuanzhi put down the teapot, nodded and said, "Little Second Brother asked, is there any news?" ”

Xiao Er smiled, "This news is about your life, but ......"

Seeing this, Fu Yuanzhi took out five copper coins in the upper hand, and there were still five wen in his hand.

Xiao Er grinned, and directly pulled the five texts on the table into the palm of his hand, and then said, "This Jincheng can't be entered, and now it's time to pay taxes, and Jincheng is in a mess!" ”

Fu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "How can paying taxes be messy?"

Xiao Er counted the copper plates, put them in his pocket, and said, "Jincheng is different from other cities, other cities only collect common land taxes, poll taxes, industrial and commercial taxes, salt taxes, mining taxes, tea taxes, wine and vinegar taxes, etc., while Jincheng also has more driving taxes, road occupation taxes, housing taxes, and so on."

"You have to pay a lot of driving tax to your big car!"

When Fu Yuanzhi heard him say this, he asked, "Where does the word 'chaos' come from?" ”

Xiao Er sighed, "This is inseparable from taxes!" Jincheng County ordered the tax collector to collect taxes, and took the opportunity to collect heavy taxes from the people, and I heard that those machine households, a loom had to be levied 300 wen, a horse of yarn had to be levied 20 wen, and silk was even more, and 50 wen. ”

Xiao Er gestured five fingers with an exaggerated expression.

What's the difference between this and a robber?!

Fu Yuanzhi frowned, "This golden city belongs to the scope of Xindu County, and the county guards of Xindu County don't care?" ”

Xiao Er pouted and shook his head, "How do we know about this matter?" ”

At this time, Ah Di asked, "Was it the same in Jincheng in the past?" ”

Xiao Er shook his head, "Where is it possible, it was only after this county magistrate took office." ”

Ah Di asked again, "Then how long has this county magistrate been in office?" ”

Xiao Er replied, "This is the second year. ”

Xiao Er sighed, "I hope that the big guy can survive the change of this county order, and life will be fine."

The jackal is gone, but I don't know if the successor is a tiger and leopard.

Fu Yuanzhi saw that the topic was far away, and asked again, "Little Second Brother hasn't said how messy this mess is?" ”

Xiao Er smiled, "This means that there are so many people in Jincheng who have the backbone and courage, and when they saw that the tax envoy collected taxes and ruined people's families, someone tied up all six or seven of them and threw them into the moat!" ”

"As soon as this person was thrown into the river, all the people who were surrounded by him scattered, and those who fled ran away, and the county order sent troops to suppress and torture them, but they haven't found anyone who shot it so far!"

Ah Di snorted and scolded in a low voice, "You deserve it!" ”

The little second brother nodded in agreement, "So, on the cusp of this storm, you'd better take a detour, so as not to be affected." ”

Fu Yuanzhi gave the rest of the five cents to Xiao Er, "Thank you for reminding Xiao Er." ”

Xiao Er happily took it, "The guest officer is polite, can you have some food?" There's a tea shed near here. ”

Fu Yuanzhi said again, "Then trouble the little brother to load twenty more steamed buns." ”

Xiao Er responded happily and hurriedly went to the back kitchen to prepare.

Ah Di asked, "Are we really not going to Jincheng?" ”

Song Huan swallowed the steamed bun and said, "Haven't you heard that there is chaos there?" It's safer to take a detour. ”

Ah Di looked at Ah Ji and said, "Ah Sister, are you still afraid of being unsafe?" ”

Song Huan straightened his expression, "The people don't fight with the officials, not to mention that there are so many teas in the car, and when the time comes, I will not only have to pay the driving tax but also the housing tax, so where can I make money in this business?" ”

Jian'an County is the tea capital, and the price of its lower-quality tea is generally lower than that of other places.

Song Huan made such a calculation, so he went to buy a batch of goods.

Now in addition to the necessary luggage, the remaining space in the carriage is filled with tea leaves by Song Huan.

Ah Di looked at Fu Yuanzhi, Fu Yuanzhi nodded, "It's better to bypass it, more things are better than less things." ”

Brother actually wanted to watch, but Brother Fu and Sister Fu both thought so, so he could only give up.

Curiosity is still less important than safety.

Yan Liu patted Ah Di comfortingly.

Yan Liu is no longer the same as before, and the whole person is more confident and calm.

On the way out of the tea shed, there were only the four of them, Song Huan asked suspiciously, "All the way over, I have never seen such a county order that does not cherish the official reputation, is this county order fraudulent?" ”

At this time, Yan Liu took over and said, "I heard the master say that the ten major regiments of wind, horse, swallow, finch, porcelain, gold, evaluation, skin, color, and hanging, if this county order is fraudulent, it may be a ghost of the bird's door." ”

Ah Di asked suspiciously, "Brother Yan, what is the finch?" ”

Yan Liu said, "Sparrow, this is the most scheming one.

The finch, also known as "lack", means notch.

Where there is a vacancy in the position of officialdom, someone will take office and block it.

This kind of thing has to mobilize and contact many people, and the bureau makers strategize, until the bureau is completed, and then they leave with all their pockets. ”

Yan Liu then said, "I heard from Master that it happened a long time ago, but it was Master's grandfather's business, I just suddenly felt very similar, or maybe it wasn't." ”

Ah Di concluded, "Either this county order is big, and others dare not offend, so they can only turn a blind eye, or as Brother Yan said, it is a liar." ”

"When the time comes, there will really be officials who will come down and slip away, and where can they still be caught in the facelift."

Song Huan agreed.

So how important it is to have developed information.

But when you think about it, they are not officials, so they can't control this.

What's more, there is a "chase" behind them!

Song Huan later guessed about the previous oolong, maybe it was because Ziyang Academy was special, so someone was stationed outside to ensure the stability of the academy?

Either there is something important in Ziyang Academy, or there are important people who need to be protected.

They happened to be protected from staying inside.

Otherwise, how to explain why there are always people out there?

Song Huan has been paying attention since then to confirm whether it is a coincidence.

And every now and then she would go outside for a walk.

Of course, it was not all for nothing.

As long as someone is there, it is impossible to have no traces, so under Song Huan's unremitting observation, there are those speculations and judgments.

And the leader of the tree and others, "......"

They were all about to have a nervous breakdown by Song Huan's repeated appearances, but fortunately, they were professional.
