"What if you don't want to?" The young man's fingers lightly tapped on the case, and his expression was unknown.

Li Yan still looks like she is convincing, "My father and daughter are still only looking forward to the son's horse." ”

Gu Xuan chuckled, "Does this mean that I can't agree to it?" ”

The corners of Li Yan's lips lifted lightly, and she pulled the stunned cheap father beside her, and the two bowed.

"Is there nothing to follow?"

Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows, "But can you believe your words?" ”

Zhou Bi finally came to his senses, bowed his head and said, "The lower official can vouch for the little girl, and my father and daughter will definitely obey the son's dispatch." ”

Gu Xuan was silent for a long time, and just when Li Yan felt that he would make things difficult, he suddenly spoke.

"I don't need your guarantee, and I don't lack people to call, since the county magistrates are all listening, let's do this."

"Gongzi Xie."

It seems that Zhou Bi's face is so big.

Li Yan pursed her lips and bowed her head to make a gesture of invitation, "The little girl sends off the son." ”

Gu Xuan looked at her thoughtfully, and the girl had a satisfied smile in her eyes.

So after using it, you are so anxious to catch up with people, don't you even pretend to it?

Li Yan stood still and said, "If the son wants to stay and drink tea, the little girl will make tea for the child." ”

Gu Xuan snorted coldly and left.

The father and daughter breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Bi slumped on the desk chair and asked her, "If you want to take refuge in Gu Er, why don't you talk to me in advance." ”

Li Yan also had a thought flashing in her head, and she just saw the stitches.

"As early as Sun Fulin's case, your father-in-law has already taken Gu Er's boat. Do you see him doing things, but does he avoid you? ”

Before noon, I asked Xue Shao to borrow someone, including Gu Xuan, who Xue Shao came to isolate and saw, and the two did not avoid suspicion when they met.

Zhou Bidou shook his head with a squint, "It seems that there really isn't." ”

"So instead of waiting, it's better for us to take the initiative to be sincere, Commander Xue is the best example. It was just when I met Childe that I suddenly thought about this. ”

She didn't believe that with Gu Xuan's temperament, she would do something to take the initiative to solicit.

Zhou Bi pinched his cheek, and Xiaodou's eyes flashed with surprise, "So this official can be regarded as someone behind now." ”

Li Yan couldn't get used to his stupidity, so she yawned, "Come on, you are happy alone, I have to find my girl." ”

It's the middle of the night, and the little girl hasn't found it yet, so it's estimated that she is still working hard.

When Li Yan found the little girl in the decoction pharmacy, she was alone in the room, and the little girl was squatting in the corner, half-asleep and decocting the medicine.

When Li Yan came in, the little girl shook her head and suddenly sobered up, "Miss's over there?" ”

"Then the young lady will wait for me, this medicine will be half an hour younger."

Li Yan nodded, took off the cloak on her body and put it on her, and found a small wooden stool to sit down, "You rest, I will guard the medicine furnace." ”

Kumquat was so tired that he nodded obediently.

Wrapping around the young lady's thin waist and leaning on her, after a while, he couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep.

After Ma Changdiao came back from Governor Liu's mansion, his eyelids kept jumping.

The housekeeper got the news again that the heads of the family who drank together in Qingfeng Building were called to the county government and had not returned to the house in the middle of the night.

This made him even more uneasy, and he always felt that this was not over.

This night, Ma Changdiao tossed and turned.

On the second day, as soon as it was dawn, he called the steward and instructed him to secretly and slowly transfer the assets, and then put away the important books together.

There was such a big commotion yesterday, and with some mention from the housekeeper of Governor Liu's mansion, he keenly felt that things might not be good.

It's just that all of Ma Changdiao's properties are in the county, gambling houses, brothels, manors and fields, and these assets can't be dealt with in half a day and a day.

The housekeeper watched Ma Changdiao bury his head in inventory and couldn't help but say, "Master Ma, are you planning to leave Hejun?" This can be the foundation that we have worked hard for many years, it is not easy to come by, and we have to start all over again in another place, has the matter really fallen to the point of being out of control? ”

The housekeeper's family is all in Hejun, if Ma Changdiao wants to leave here, their family will inevitably follow, this stable life has been too long, and the housekeeper is naturally unhappy in his heart.

After thinking about it, the housekeeper said, "The people who were guarding the door of the Qianyan Mansion came back and said that they all went back in the middle of the night. Although we didn't pay the grain, the grain was obviously eaten secretly by the county government. This should be the end of the matter, otherwise, these people would not have been released easily. Master Ma, are you thinking too much? Outside, the wind and waves are calm. ”

Ma Changdiao said with a calm face, "When the catastrophe comes, I can't leave if I want to." ”

Ma Changdiao is not a timid person, on the contrary, the person who runs a gambling house and a brothel is superb.

And Ma Changdiao can compete for a place with the county, in addition to being bold.

It is because of his keen intuition that this intuition can not only help him in the business field, but also allow him to avoid a lot of risks.

This time, although Ma Changdiao's intuition was accurate, it couldn't help him.

When he was discussing the transfer of the property with the housekeeper, Li Si led his men and horses to directly surround Ma Changdiao's mansion.

In addition to the people from the yamen, there were also soldiers wearing guard armor.

Ma Changdiao saw that the situation was not right and wanted to secretly destroy the account books.

But in the end, it was still a step too late, and even the people were escorted back to the yamen with the account books.

Li Si interrogated him, and Ma Chang was stubborn and resolutely pleaded not guilty.

But with the account books in hand, there is no way to deny the crime of Ma Chang's tax evasion.

And the amount of tax concealment is huge, enough for him to drink a pot.

In addition, the account books also recorded the record of Ma Changdiao's sale of illicit tea.

The court severely punished all important taxes such as the sale of illicit salt, tea, and wine.

Anyone who sells more than one or two illicit teas "fifteen canes".

Dare to violently resist taxes, "steal and sell smuggled salt with a rod, three or more people, carry a rod and a head and put to death".

Selling illicit tea "is 100 canes per catty, and it is sold to more than 20 catties and abandoned the market." (after the execution, it will be shown to the public)".

Selling illicit liquor "five buckets to death"

Ma Changdiao sold enough illicit tea to die thousands of times back and forth.

In addition to the evidence of his crime as a traitor, Li Si also had a record of bribing officials.

It details the time and place of the bribes he paid, as well as the officials who took the bribes.

It is still the case that Governor Liu has paid bribes for the longest time and the largest amount.

When Li Yan arrived at the isolation point in the west of the city, these incriminating evidence were also handed over to Zhou Bi.

The numbers in the meantime made him speechless for a while.

"Ma Changdiao is really a heinous crime, and it's not a pity to die."

Not to mention that these people have been bullying the weak and doing evil for many years.

Just the amount of taxes he has hidden in the past few years, the assets of the bullying are enough to support the people of Hexian County for a whole year, and this amount can be imagined.
