Under the leadership of the woman, Long Junjiu and Qingzhu rescued all the hostages in the horse bandit cottage and sent them to the village where they came, so that the villagers could notify people from other villages to pick them up.

When they left, everyone knelt and bowed, thanking them with gratitude and gratitude.

There are definitely more than one nest of bandits nearby, but Long Junjiu currently doesn't have time to find them one by one, the top priority is to take over Jiangcheng County, and then use the power of Jiangcheng County to wipe them out.

These damn guys who eat human blood steamed buns are really infuriating.

On the other hand, Jiangcheng County Taishou Mansion, last month he received a notice from the Longzhou Imperial City, saying that His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor Prince was going to Jiangcheng County to take up the post of Vassal, called King Jiang.

For this reason, he sent people to closely monitor the vicinity of Jiangcheng County, and now he has not seen a single person.

They are used to being at ease, the Shenlong Dynasty suddenly sent a prince down to ride on their heads, to be honest, he was very uncomfortable, but there was no way to be uncomfortable, who made the family a royal family.

Even if the other party was appointed by the dynasty, it was not so easy to take away the rights of Jiangcheng County from them.

"Taishou, Taishou, there is a person who claims to be the Nine Emperors in front of the city gate."

"Oh? It's finally here, but it's a little later than I expected. ”

Hearing this, Jiangcheng County's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately got up and said, "Let's go, go and meet our Royal Highness King Jiang." ”

At this moment, Long Junjiu and Qingzhu were waiting near the city gate, and the soldiers looked at them with suspicious expressions.

A moment later, the Taishou of Jiangcheng County came slowly in a gorgeous carriage.

The wealthy Jiangcheng County Taishou slowly got out of the carriage, looked ahead and asked, "Dare to ask which one is His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes?" ”

Hearing the other party's voice, Long Junjiu stood up unhurriedly and responded, "It's me." ”

"Do you have a certificate?"

Jiangcheng County Taishou showed a hint of suspicion and asked lightly.

Long Junjiu disagreed, and took out the Dragon Emperor's handwritten appointment letter, as well as his own prince token.

"These two things are proof?"

"Of course, of course, Chenjiangcheng County Taishou 'Ma Sanbao' has seen His Royal Highness the Nine Emperors, His Royal Highness must have suffered a lot all the way, and the minister has set up a banquet in the mansion to wash the dust for His Royal Highness."

"Hehe, you're bothered, let's go."

"Your Highness, please get into the carriage."

Jiangcheng County Taishou warmly entertained Long Junjiu, and even specially found a few beauties to accompany him, looking like he wanted to talk and let Jun pick up.

Qingzhu behind Long Junjiu looked at this scene expressionlessly, silently thinking of a hundred ways to die for the other party in his heart, and said in his heart: (The hateful fox spirit wants to seduce His Royal Highness.) ）

"Taishou-sama, I have something I want to ask."

Suddenly, Long Junjiu looked at Jiangcheng County Taishou and said with a smile.

"Don't dare to ask for advice, Your Highness, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Taishou Ma Sanbao said with a smile.

"On the way here, I saw bandits rampant around Jiangcheng County, and the people were uprooted and displaced, why is this?"

Long Junjiu rubbed his index finger against the cup in his hand and asked lightly.

"It's... Alas... Your Highness, you don't know, those bandits are too cunning, they are hiding in the mountains, just like rats digging holes everywhere, we are also more than enough but not enough, in the past organized several large-scale bandits, but we have suffered heavy casualties, and now Jiangcheng County still needs to recuperate, and it is not appropriate to use swords and soldiers. ”

Jiangcheng County Taishou looked sad and sighed.

Long Junjiu nodded and said with a smile: "So that's the case, understand and understand, then I also heard that Jiangcheng County pays two out of three, but is there such a thing?" ”

"In recent years, Jiangcheng County has spent a lot of money in all aspects, and the ministers have no choice but to collect a little more tax in order to better serve the court and protect the people of Jiangcheng County."

Jiangcheng County Taishou's face stiffened, and he smiled awkwardly.

"So, is that true? Lord Taishou, do you know that the taxes in the imperial city are only three out of ten in the past years, and you dare to increase the taxes by more than double without permission, and take two out of three, you really dare to collect them! ”

When the words fell, Long Junjiu instantly turned his face, slammed over the table in front of him, and shouted angrily.

"You have looted so many taxes every year, but you can't even protect the people in the surrounding villages, are you worthy of the fat you eat?! Since you are so incompetent, from today onwards, you can stay in the mansion and retire with peace of mind, and from now on, everything in Jiangcheng County will be taken over by this king. ”

, this face turned over unexpectedly, why don't you play cards according to the routine at all.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this? The minister is good to eat and drink to entertain you, are you going to do something to the minister when you first come? Even if you are a royal noble, you can't mess around like this, if I am Bingming Your Majesty..."

"My father has given Jiangcheng County to me, and this is my territory from now on, everything is up to me, if you want to go to the imperial city to complain, go there, I don't have time to play the game slowly with you."

Long Junjiu said arrogantly and arrogantly:

"Starting tomorrow, the tax of Jiangcheng County will be reduced to 20%, and the people who contacted the seven major families for me will say that this king will hold a banquet in the palace to entertain them in seven days, and if you don't give this king face, you will bear the consequences."

Long Junjiu's eyes showed a terrifying killing intent, and he said coldly: "Lord Taishou, I will only give you one chance, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die." ”

With that, Long Junjiu turned around and left the Taishou Mansion, and Qingzhu followed the other party to leave.

"Shaft!"

Ma Sanbao's forehead was bruised, and he angrily smashed the desktop in front of him with a fist, and he was furious: "Who does he think he is, does he think that he will eat the book too much because he is supported by the identity of the prince?" The arrogant yellow-mouthed child, what qualifications does he have to order Ben Taishou to do things? ”

"Lord Taishou, what should we do next?"

"Hmph, it's me who overestimates him, he's just a yellow-haired boy who doesn't know the world, doesn't he want to feast on the Seven Great Families? Let's help him, does he think the people of the Seven Great Families are so easy to deal with? ”

Ma Sanbao's eyes flashed with a dark light, and he said coldly.

……

"Your Highness, as soon as we arrived in Jiangcheng County, we turned against the Taishou of Jiangcheng County, is that okay?"

Qingzhu couldn't help but ask with concern.

"You have also seen the situation along the way, it has rotted here, rotten to the roots, anyway, sooner or later it will have to turn its face, turn it over early and enjoy it sooner, you know the character of His Highness, I don't like things that are too troublesome, it is best to be simple and rude, and I can persuade with my fists, why waste my tongue with them."

"As the saying goes, a long pain is better than a short one, and I was prepared for the worst before I came here."

Long Junjiu looked down at his fist and said domineeringly:

"The worst outcome is to start all over again."
