Is this the Rongcheng County Ya! What's going on?

"Young Master Liu, please come in!" Zheng Yuan Bridge Road.

"It's really fake!" Liu Mo gasped.

After taking a few steps forward, the official at the gate blocked the way. "Who are the two? What is the matter with coming to the county office? ”

"Go to the feast!" Zheng Yuan Bridge Road.

"Which one invited you?"

"Lord Wu, the tax department."

Department of Taxation? The subordinate official of the county is in charge of the tax of the pawn merchants! It is equivalent to the Commissioner of Taxation and Director of the Market Supervision Bureau on the planet.

Although the official position is not big, the real power is really fragrant!

"I don't know what the two surnames are?"

"Old Zheng Yuanqiao, this one next to me is Liu Mo!"

"Zheng Yuanqiao? Liu Mo? ”

The official guarding the door was in trouble, and Lord Wu, the tax department, did have a banquet tonight, but these two names were not on the list.

Seeing the expression of the servant, Liu Mo took another breath, how could he not understand!

At this time, he looked confused.

"Old decay is uninvited!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Mo subconsciously took a step back.

Good guys, play me too!

No one invited you, and you came? And take me with you!

The officer's face changed suddenly, "Then what are you doing here?" Go crazy and go somewhere else! ”

Saying that, he dared Liu Mo and the two to leave.

Zheng Yuanqiao smiled and said unhurriedly, "You go and report it, and say that the old man invited Lord Wu to eat snake soup." ”

…

The official and Liu Mo were stunned at the same time.

Don't guess, Zheng Yuanqiao had such a story with Lord Wu...

The official has been on an errand for many years, and has met countless people, so he naturally mastered the doorway.

He was silent, told Liu Mo and the two to wait outside the door, and then turned around and went in to report.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged man in an official uniform hurrying over.

The next second he saw Zheng Yuanqiao, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I don't know if Engong is coming, there is a loss of welcome, a rudeness!" ”

Eun Gong? Sure enough, there is a story with Zheng Yuanqiao, but I really didn't expect it to be such a story!

"Lord Wu, don't come unharmed!" Zheng Yuanqiao replied.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Lord Wu asked, "Who is this?" ”

"Liu Mo, the shopkeeper of 'Jingshui Pavilion'. The son-in-law of the Linyang Lin family. Zheng Yuanqiao replied.

"It turns out that you are Liu Mo." Lord Wu laughed. "It's better to be famous than to meet!"

"Say hello to Lord Wu!" Liu Mo bowed.

"Excuse me, excuse me!"

"Today, the old man came uninvited, and I hope Lord Wu will not see it."

"Where, where! Quick, come in! ”

Following Lord Wu, the two came to the night banquet hall.

At this time, at the banquet, a richly dressed merchant was sitting.

Seeing Lord Wu come in, everyone stood up and saluted.

Lord Wu also returned the salute one by one, and whispered a word to a businessman in his fifties, who immediately got up after hearing this, and gave up his seat to Zheng Yuanqiao.

Under the arrangement of Lord Wu, Liu Mo found a vacant seat to sit down.

Glancing at everyone, a businessman had a sturdy and ruddy body with a white beard. A businessman with sagging shoulders and a thin build, bald with only a few tufts of black hair.

A businessman has a neat face, always with a smile on his face. There was also a merchant who was very thin and had a sparse white beard growing on his chin.

What is the purpose of the tax division to invite the businessman to dinner? Urging taxes?

Liu Mo adjusted his mentality and watched quietly.

Lord Wu poured a glass of wine, and then said something like a compliment, nothing more than to thank the merchants for their support.

I hope that all of you here will continue to work hard and pay more taxes.

Then, Lord Wu got up again and introduced Zheng Yuanqiao and Liu Mo to everyone.

It turned out that this Lord Wu's name was Wu Shifeng, not from Rongcheng.

On his way to his post, he was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake and almost lost his life in the wilderness.

Fortunately, Zheng Yuanqiao, who catches snakes for a living, passed by and rescued him.

During the period of recuperation, the old snake catcher did not have anything good to entertain, only snake meat, so he was always entertained with snake soup.

That's what snake soup is all about.

Wu Shifeng is also a smart person, as soon as he heard Zheng Yuanqiao introduce Liu Mo, he guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

Everyone was polite, but their eyes made Liu Mo indescribable.

When Master Wu introduced Li Guangrun, the boss of "Guangjuxuan", Liu Mo subconsciously took a few more looks.

This person was the smiling businessman.

He is about forty years old, tall and thin, with a pair of eyes that can't see through his heart at all, and he is obviously a fierce person in the deep city.

"Hello boss!" Liu Mo greeted meaningfully.

"Haha, we finally met, Shopkeeper Liu!" Li Guangrun didn't hide it, "Sure enough, it's a hero out of a young man, since he came to Rongcheng as a shopkeeper Liu, my 'Guangjuxuan' is about to close." ”

Good guy, come up and hit a rake.

"Boss Li, haven't you snatched the business back again?" The sturdy merchant laughed.

"Today is Lord Wu's treat, and we won't talk about business."

"No problem, no problem! All of you here are businessmen, what are you talking about if you don't talk about business? Wu Shifeng said with a smile, "When you do business, you are all seeking wealth. As long as the means do not violate the laws of Great Xia, it doesn't matter whether you rob or not. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Li Guangrun, "Boss Li, you said yes, right?" ”

Li Guangrun was silent, "This is nature!" ”

Wu Shifeng said again, "It's so good, but I don't know why Boss Li has recruited so many 'guys' recently?" Do you want to open another restaurant? ”

"Where, where. Recently, the store has been too busy and needs some manpower. ”

"Haha, it's a good thing that Boss Li's business is prosperous. But this tax... Isn't it supposed to be. ”

Li Guangrun immediately laughed, "This is nature." ”

Liu Mo saw it in his eyes, and he really admired it in his heart.

"There is really a set of officials who are officials."

Wu Shifeng's operation can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

First of all, beat Li Guangrun and let him not use excessive means.

The previous monopoly of ingredients, this time monopoly buddy, if this is the case, I will cure you.

As an official in charge of taxes and vendors, he saw that someone was using illegal means to disrupt the market, and it was his duty to take care of it, which was equivalent to completing his own job.

Secondly, it seems that he is helping Liu Mo, but he is actually returning the favor to Zheng Yuanqiao.

This Li Guangrun could only stare dryly, and he couldn't find an entry point to fight back at all.

Why, when a discerning person saw that Wu Shifeng was returning the favor to his life-saving benefactor, he "helped" Liu Mo, and he was also forced to be helpless.

At the same time, he is in charge of taxes, what can you say?

Third, in a few words, he forced Li Guangrun to hand over more taxes.

The above operation made Liu Mo admire, and the next operation can be said to be jaw-dropping.

I saw Wu Shifeng raise his glass again and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, those fried chickens, pearl wine, and grilled sausages you made." This official has tasted it, it is indeed a treasure in the world, and every time I taste it, it can arouse the cravings in my stomach.

It's just that although Banyan City is not big, it is not small. The west of the city is too far away, and it takes half an hour for 'Jingshui Pavilion' to come and go, which is too troublesome. ”

Liu Mo thought quickly, you Wu Shifeng can't let me send fried chicken to you every day.

At the same time, on such an occasion, as the director of the Market Supervision Bureau, this remark must have another meaning.

After thinking for a while, Liu Mo suddenly realized.

"I see, Lord Wu, you are really shrewd. Ha, Li Guangrun, you stinky king, I'm going to let you eat all you can eat today! ”
