In the county, the backyard of Fuding Building.

After three watches, the night is dark and the wind is high, and the whole county is extremely quiet, only the bamboo sound is sounding, and the rhythm is making Xiao Xiao noise.

A sneaky figure, under the cover of the sound of bamboo, quietly touched in through the back door.

This person successfully avoided the watchdog and the subordinates who patrolled the night, and did not care about the porcelain vases, canvases, jewels, and incense burners that passed by.

Instead, he tiptoed and went straight to the room where Huang Liuye, the proprietor of Fuding Building, lived, and gently buttoned the window.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock...... Knock knock ......"

According to the law of two, three, two, after being pulled several times in a row, the door opened lightly, and the thin moonlight leaked in through the cracks in the door grid, slightly diluting away a few traces of sluggish darkness, becoming the only cold light source in the room.

Barely illuminating the faces of the two.

Huang Liuye, who has a fat head and big ears, is dressed in homely plain clothes, and has a gentle smile on his face, and he is not the slightest bit unhappy to be disturbed in the middle of the night.

On the contrary, with a slightly flattering look, he opened the door and invited the man into the house, and then gently closed the door.

At this time, without reporting, the person who sneaked into the backyard of Fuding Building must not be a living person.

After the future was introduced into the study, a small ball of candles flickered in the house, and Huang Liuye said affectionately: "I don't know what to bother the donkey brother to run late at night, this road is not easy to walk." ”

"When you leave later, come with me to the cellar to drink a few glasses of this year's new wine, so as to warm up your body, and bring another jar back by the way."

Such heart-warming words made most of the tired color on the face of the dusty yellow donkey fade.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, "Huang Liuye is worthy of being Huang Liuye, and among the many masters in the entire Huang family, the one in front of me knows how to be the best."

No wonder Huang Liuye, as a younger brother of the house, can still work hard all the way to a family business like Fuding Lou without family support! ”

As a close servant of Huang Xiancheng, Huang Donkey naturally knows how to measure and do his duty.

Then he bowed his hand respectfully, and replied eagerly: "The kindness of the sixth master, the little heart has it." ”

"But tonight is in a hurry, the third master is still waiting for me to reply, and I don't dare to delay any longer."

Hearing that Huang Donkey, who has always been a heavy drinker, Zhengse rejected his proposal, although Huang Liuye's face remained unchanged, he sighed in his heart.

Huang Xiancheng is his cousin who came out of the five suits, and among the children of the Huang family, he ranks third, so he is called Huang Sanye.

Huang Liuye is not the sixth in line, because there are only five children of the Huang family in Huang County's generation.

He just took the initiative to go to the distant branch of his relatives' houses after his career, and after paying a great price, he was successfully accepted by the Huang family.

But Huang Liuye understands very well that the two sides are at most a cooperative relationship, no matter how rich a businessman is, his social status is low, and he only hangs the name of the clan and acts on the bright side.

Over the years, relying on this name, he has gained a lot of advantages in business.

As for family affection, it never exists.

As a result, Huang Liuye categorically rejected the proposal of the Huang family to reorder according to age, and took the initiative to call himself Huang Lao Liu, in order to show himself inferior.

Tonight, Huang Xiancheng, the most powerful person in the Huang family, sent his own trusted servants to deliver the word late at night.

It seems to be so urgent, it must be a difficult errand.

At least not from the official plane, so that you have to rely on the power of him as a businessman.

In recent years, Huang Liuye's career has been thriving, in addition to his business acumen in the open, he also relies on his hands and eyes in the dark.

If his business was not taken care of by Huang Xiancheng, it would definitely not be as smooth as it is now.

Even though Fuding Building is now the largest restaurant in Yongshun County, if you want to prosper for a long time, you have to move closer to the government.

Therefore, no matter how difficult the errand is, you have to undertake it together, do your best to do it, and do it beautifully!

All his thoughts turned around, and the smile on Huang Liuye's face became even greater.

Although I don't know what to entrust, if it can be done smoothly, it must be a lot of personal debt, and he resolutely said: "Thanks to the third brother's long-term care, no matter whether it is public or private, I will go all out." ”

That's a real thing.

opened his mouth and pointed out that this time it was to repay Huang Xiancheng's favor.

"Whether public or private" points out that even private matters that cannot be seen in the light are not shirked.

Although he did not guarantee that he would be able to do it properly, he gave an attitude of "going all out".

In just two crosses, half pushing and half pulling, it not only brought the friendship closer, but also did not forget to lower the value, which not only made a verbal favor, but also hinted at the exchange of interests.

Hearing this, Huang Donkey'er breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "With the words of the sixth master, I can make a difference." ”

"It's not that hard."

"As long as the sixth master takes the shopkeepers and proprietors of various businesses in the county, they go to the county government to complain about their grievances."

The hands in Huang Liuye's sleeve robe trembled slightly, and even the smile on the corner of his mouth was sluggish.

not only went to the county government to make trouble, but also took the lead himself.

This is to kill Lao Tzu!

Huang Donkey had already practiced the ability to observe words and feelings, and seeing Huang Liuye's face change slightly, he hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.

"Today, the third master was in the yamen, and he heard some rumors, saying that the county order of the dog day was crazy, and he wanted the county's businessmen to donate money and food for road repair."

"Isn't it clear to you how to donate?"

"Sixth Master, you understand for yourself, if you really let Wang Xianling do this, then who will suffer the most, should they complain?"

Huang Liuye, who thought he was calm-hearted, was also angry by the faint tricks of the county order at this time.

scolded on the spot, "Shameless, lose your conscience!" ”

"That dog official is obsessed with repairing the official road every day under the pretext of benefiting the people's livelihood, I thought he was a good official, but he didn't think about it, but it was also an excuse to loot the people's fat and ointment, after all, he was a corrupt person!"

"How much chaos will be caused every time about donations and apportionments, doesn't that dog official understand?"

The surrounding counties have also had several apportionments in the past, and those lazy officials and tyrannical officials have caused a lot of backlash from the people's grievances every time.

After several physical "mingling" between the government and the people, the government finally made concessions and did not mention the apportionment for several years.

Huang Liuye's biggest worry was not how much money he would have to pay, but that Wang Xianling was really forced by money and sent those small officials to come to the door one by one.

The county's big and small businessmen will inevitably be seized of the opportunity to loot.

Because the money and grain distributed by the county government are counted, but the greed of the people below is counted.

At that time, the entire Yongshun County will inevitably be in a depression, and it will be difficult to recover in a year or two.

If the economy of the entire county is getting sluggish, the business of Fuding Building will naturally be no exception.

This is what Huang Liuye is most afraid of!

Thinking of such terrible consequences, Huang Liuye could no longer care about Huang Xiancheng's calculations.

directly instructed the yellow donkey, "Go back and tell my third brother, we are close brothers, and his business is my business." ”

"Don't say it's just complaining, if the dog official insists on going his own way, let's find a city fox club rat as a thorn, and it's okay to make a fuss."

"I don't believe it, we have a county to cover up, and everyone is concentric, and we can't fight a stupid county order!"

With Huang Liuye's assurance, Huang Donkey finally left with a smile.

In the study, Huang Liuye, who was still red just now, has calmed down.

A servant brought a cup of hot tea, Huang Liuye took a deep breath, immersed himself in this refreshing atmosphere, and began to carefully plan the details of this matter.

After thinking for a long time, he softly summoned a cronie and whispered for a long time.

......

Huating College.

Recently, He Qingxuan and Ye Chongwen have not been very happy.

As long as I thought that Ye Lao and Chen Ping were both working on such a major matter as renovating the official road, and the two of them, as Chen Ping's classmates, Ye Lao's juniors and students, could only stay in this corner of the academy and couldn't help at all, I felt extremely frustrated.

Especially Ye Chongwen, who was shrugging his head at this time, looking very listless.

He Qingxuan was holding a book, but his mind didn't know where to go.

Just when the two of them were back to back, but their thoughts were different, the gatekeeper of the academy was running over with two letters.

"He Qingxuan, Ye Chongwen, your letter!"
