Chapter 22 A Silver Ticket
It's been four years, and in the past four years, he has practiced martial arts every day, Yinzuo doesn't have much time to go to the folk at all, even if he occasionally sneaks out of the palace, he comes and goes in a hurry, and he has to guard against the call of the old man.
Chen Tianyuan is a veteran who is used to the rivers and lakes, those so-called small things such as disguise and makeup are at his fingertips, this old man and young man dressed up as a master and a servant are really like that, seeing that Yinzuo has become a little master who has just left the house, as for Chen Tianyuan himself, he has become a gray-haired old servant.
Whether a place is rich or not, you have to look at the morning market, whether the public security is good or not, then you have to look at the restaurant, as for the countryside is too peaceful, whether the harvest is good or not, you have to visit the old farmers, Yinzuo did not do this kind of investigation when he was a small civil servant in his previous life, and now he is familiar with it.
Ha, Ejiao, good things, blood tonic products, I bought it, and I gave it to Eniang and the ladies in the palace; Hmm, this fire fox skin is good, it's just right to make a scarf for Wen Xian's little girl; Yay, tiger skin? Good thing, turn around and let Yihong make a tiger fur coat, so that we can be majestic; Oh, tofu flowers, let's have two bowls first. Yinzuo had a silver ticket in his pocket, jumping up and down in the morning set, jumping energetically, buying a lot of things, like a housewife who was working hard, and poor old man Chen Tianyuan became the backer of the bag.
At three o'clock in the morning, the person who Yinzuo was waiting for finally appeared, and two tax collectors dressed in official uniforms came to collect taxes. Yinzuo pretended to hang out and wandered behind the tax collector to see how the tax collector collected taxes. It's not bad, these two tax collectors are very kind to those who set up stalls, and the tax collection is also very smooth, there is no conflict at all, and the tax collected does not exceed the quota of the Qing Dynasty. Yinzuo chatted for a while with a few vendors dressed as old farmers nearby, and learned that since Liu Siyuan arrived eight years ago, these tax collectors have not dared to extort money and goods, saying that once they found out, they immediately took off their official uniforms, and Liu County Commander has never collected taxes or distributed donations in any name, and he is a good official who has no trouble with the people.
It's normal not to raise taxes, after all, whether to increase taxes or not is not a small county order to be in charge, but it is rare not to donate, which official is not changing the way to make money this year, and there are many donations in various names, like what yamen repair donations, repair school donations, even the emperor's birthday can make a birthday donation, this Liu Siyuan does not donate, how can he have the money to do those things that honor his boss and entertain colleagues, no wonder Kangxi has been a county order for fifteen years, if it weren't for Kangxi to inspect, Liu Siyuan is only afraid that even this small county order Wusha will not be able to keep it. Well, he's a good official, but he's a little shabby. Yin Zuo had a lot of good feelings for this Liu Siyuan in his heart, and planned to go back and say good things for him.
The task is completed, but of course you can't go back so quickly, you have to seize this rare opportunity to jump, right? It's still early, let's go to the restaurant first to solve the problem of mouthful. Yinzuo asked for the location of the largest restaurant in Qinghe, and led Chen Tianyuan straight to the restaurant. Elegant box, three or five dishes of exquisite side dishes, a pot of wine, very cool! It's a pity that the wine belongs to Chen Tianyuan to enjoy, Yin Zuo didn't dare to move the wine in front of the master, and he can only endure it if there are wine bugs.
Don't look at Qinghe County is small, this Mingyue Restaurant is not big, but the level of the spoon is not low, and the taste of the dishes is seventy percent of the level of the Beijing Moon Tower, which is not easy, and it can be regarded as a tooth sacrifice, when we are growing up, we have to eat hard. Yinzuo was eating happily, the door of the cold box opened, and a person came out and knelt on the ground, saying: "The slave has seen Lord Belle." ”
What? Is this a goof? How did you come out of a way to bite the gold? Yin Zuo was stunned for a moment, almost choked on the vegetables, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Your Excellency recognized the wrong person, right?" ”
"You can't be wrong." The man knelt straight on the ground and said, "The slave saw Lord Belle when he took over yesterday. ”
Pick up? The person who can participate in the driving must at least be a seven-rank official, although the one in front of him looks a little familiar, but he is dressed in civilian clothes, and he doesn't look like an official, and if those sub-officials see that they have always called themselves subordinate officials or ministers, they will never call themselves slaves, what kind of goods is this guy? Yinzuo's face was full of doubts, staring at the other party, but he didn't speak.
"The slave Ling Yu is a subordinate of the prince, and he is currently the prefect of Texas." The person who came simply reported his home.
Oh, it's the second child's minion, and he's also *, no wonder this kid calls himself a slave, well, the second child's face has to be given. Yinzuo stood up very politely, walked over and helped him up: "Lord Ling is polite, since we are the prince's brother's disciples, we are a family, come on, come on, sit down and say something." ”
Ling Yuxun thanked him for a long time, then sat down with half of his buttocks, twisted it, took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and said: "Lord Belle came to the rule of the slaves, the slaves have nothing to respect, and these are still invited to be laughed at by Lord Baylor." ”
Hmm, the silver ticket? Good things, we like it, but this dog is just sent to the door, there must be something to ask for, this silver pierces the hand, and Master Chen is also there, this silver can't be received. Yinzuo's face was straight and he shouted: "Presumptuous! Not to mention, Yinzuo's face was straightened, and he looked quite majestic, so frightened that Ling Yu trembled, the silver ticket in his hand was not held steady, and he suddenly scattered on the ground, and he didn't care about picking it up, so he fell to the ground in a panic and bowed: "Lord Belle is angry, Lord Baylor is angry, the slave has no other meaning, just a little heart." ”
Purpose? Let's talk about you, this dog must have something to ask for, otherwise this lot of silver will be filial to the second child early. Yin Zuo said with a cold face: "Say, how did you find Ben Baylor, and what do you want to do?" ”
"Lord Belle was angry, and the servant's subordinates saw that Lord Belle went out early in the morning, and they were afraid that Lord Belle would have something happen under the rule of the slave, so they followed, so the slave learned that Lord Belle had come to this Mingyue Restaurant. The minion pondered that there was something in Coco asking Lord Belle, and this was ......"
Damn, I actually dare to follow Lao Tzu, damn, this dog is so bold. But this matter is a little strange, Old Man Chen is an old man, how can he not know that someone is following? Yinzuo looked at Chen Tianyuan with some doubts, and Old Man Chen was still drinking the wine unhurriedly, just nodding lightly, indicating that he knew that there was such a thing. Looking at Chen Tianyuan's leisurely appearance, Yinzuo was angry, but he didn't have the courage to get angry with the master, and he was stupid for a long time before he shouted at Ling Yu, who was kneeling on the ground: "Say, what's the matter with finding Ben Baylor?" ”
"This, this ......" Ling Yu was probably frightened, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Say!" Yinzuo shouted impatiently.
"Yes, yes, the slave just said, this said, the slave just wants to say a few kind words from Lord Belle."
"That's it?" Yinzuo didn't believe that he could give away so many silver tickets just for such a big thing.
"Also, I just want Lord Belle to do me a favor, this Liu Siyuan under the slave is a thorn in the head, he acts perversely on weekdays, this time he is rude before returning to the king, the slave is thinking about wanting to join him, and ask Lord Baylor to preside over justice."
Damn, after going around for a long time, it turned out that this dog was thinking that Liu Siyuan was hindering him from making money, and he wanted to drive people away and didn't find other people's faults, and wanted to borrow his own hand to pick up other people's black yarn hats, this dog is really not a fucking thing, it must be the material of a corrupt official, but this goods is the second child's minion, how can I have to leave some love for the second child, right? Besides, Liu Siyuan has offended all the officials in Shandong this time, and it is impossible for him to continue to work here, hey, it's just that the local people have to suffer again. Yinzuo's heart turned quickly, put away his anger, and said with a slight smile: "Ben Baylor and the prince's brother are one, and his minions are even Ben Baylor's minions, this matter is easy to do, just go back and let Liu Siyuan transfer away." ”
"Thank you, Lord Belle. The minions retired. Ling Yu just begged this thorn to get out, don't hinder himself from making money, as for whether Liu Siyuan was alive or dead, he didn't pay attention to it at all, he kowtowed excitedly, and got up and planned to leave. Yin Zuo smiled and said, "Slow, take away all the garbage in this place." ”
After this bad thing, Yinzuo suddenly lost his appetite, went straight back to Cui Jiayuanzi, and reported his investigation results to the old man Kangxi, but he didn't say anything about Ling Yu's request, this matter is related to the face of the second child, Yinzuo doesn't want to be the villain, anyway, if he doesn't say Chen Tianyuan, he will say it, let Chen Tianyuan go, who let him pit himself today.
Master Kangxi took pity on Liu Siyuan for being a good official, but he did not pursue his fault for being rude in front of the king, but transferred him to the Ministry of Industry as the director, and he was promoted two levels in a row, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
