When there was chaos in the county office, in the corridor, Yin Liang was still talking calmly with the Song family's steward, talking about Song taking a lot of money to buy land.

Yin Liang doesn't care about money, just land allocation. He took out the drawings and squinted at them for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "There are fifteen hectares of fertile land in the south of Piling and west of Huiguo Town.

This is actually the hidden field in the Guo Lian clan.

The steward of the Song family was a little embarrassed, and said: "I heard that the county is now being cultivated, and the head of the family only asks for the new fields in the northeast of the town.

"Wouldn't it be better to have a good field?" Yin Liang laughed, smiling like a vendor who coaxes children with sugar, "The land I am talking about happens to be adjacent to the fields of Luhun Villa, the land is fertile and the water source is abundant, and it is still the same price as the barren land to the Song family." ”

"It's good, but I'm afraid of offending ....."

The Song family originally wanted Xue Bai to reclaim the barren land for the poor peasants, but they didn't expect Xue Bai to divide the Guo family's fertile land, which obviously meant to sow discord. But more than 6,000 guan can buy a field with a market price of nearly 200,000 guan and it is impossible to find it, and this little steward does not dare to refuse for the master's family.

"What's so scary?" Yin Liang said: "What is the identity of Song Taigong? What is the status of a county lieutenant? Can't get a piece of hidden field? What is Guo Lian's identity? ”

In the five months that he followed Xue Bai to Yanshi, he had secretly measured the acres of land in the county, not to mention accurate, at least he had a spectrum in his heart. Knowing that although the fertile land has been owned by the Guo family, the fields in the county have not been re-registered for many years, and the Guo family actually does not pay any taxes, that is, "hidden fields".

"I can't do anything about it." Steward Song said, "What's going on outside?" ”

Yin Liang didn't hide it, and said: "I don't know what the mess is, just right, we can take the actual field book of the Guo family and see how much tax he owes over the years." ”

"Is the county lieutenant really going to do it?"

Yin Liang nodded with a meaningful smile and said, "Who told Guo Lushi to never go to Shaofu?" ”

At this moment, Du Wulang rushed in in a hurry, spread out a thick booklet, put it in front of Yin Liang, and said, "Sir, guess, how much do you have to ask the Guo family to pay?!" ”

The steward of the Song family listened to this conversation and raised his eyebrows. After he went back, he hurriedly told Song Mian what he had seen and heard today.

"Sure enough."

I didn't expect to do it so quickly, which can be described as reckless.

Song Mian was like a god in his mouth, but he was actually very surprised in his heart. He originally thought that Xue Bai was blowing Han when he said that he wanted to deal with Guo Du, he had copper business dealings with the smugglers in Wuyang, and knew that they were helping Xue Bai make trouble in the county office, and he felt that everyone was in the same boat. Xue Bai was indeed interesting enough to express his sincerity.

In this way, this land can be wanted, but it is not sure whether it can be done.

"By the way, they are all going to the banquet in the Guo family's mansion today?" Song Mian couldn't help but wonder how resolute Xue Bai's determination was to deal with Guo Lian, and ordered: "Go and stare at it and see how it reacts." ”

The Guo family is big and magnificent, but the singing and dancing in the house are not very good-looking, and Xue Bai feels that it is not very interesting.

In terms of dance and music, after all, it is still the highest level of today's saints.

Most of the time at the banquet, I heard Guo Taigong say that the Taiyuan Guo family had important ministers in the court, but in fact, no one knew how much friendship there was between them with the same surname.

"Xue County Wei Ke has heard that the capital of Anxi protects Guo Gongqian, and his cemetery is in the north of Pishan in Luoyang County, not far from here. Guo Gongguan worshiped the champion general, the right Weiwei general, the deputy capital of Anxi, the pacification envoy of the four towns, the governor of Shuozhou, and the Tongping Zhangshi, and entered the Shangzhu State and Luguo Gong, and posthumously presented the general of the left guard and the governor of Liangzhou. ”

Words like this are very bluffing, they are all surnamed Guo, and the burial place is close, Guo Qianqian is indeed one of the people with the highest military achievements in the Kaiyuan period.

Starting from Guo Qianjun, and talking about today's Jiannan Jiedu envoy Guo Xuji, Zuo Xiaowei general Guo Yuanzhen, in short, are all famous figures.

Xue Bai listened, his heart moved, and asked, "Does Taigong Guo know General Guo Ziyi?" ”

Guo Taigong was stunned, and when the children of the family whispered a few words to him, he muttered in a low voice: "It turns out that my Taiyuan Guo family still has such heroes." ”

After muttering, he laughed and said, "The county lieutenant is talking about Ziyi who has made meritorious contributions in Anxi over the years!" Can the county lieutenant know him? ”

Coincidentally, they are all from their own family. ”

Xue Bai smiled cooperatively, thinking that his name was "Ziyi", and the newspaper sent by Yang Yan said that Guo Ziyi had been transferred from Anxi to Shuofang this year, and he also went to Yang Chen's house to give a gift during the New Year's Festival, mentioning Xue Bai's boulder spores.

Although he has the same surname as Guo, his kinship is not necessarily as deep as that between him and Xue Hui.

Not long after, the concierge of the Guo family came over to say that someone from the county office was coming, and then several miscellaneous officials rushed in and shouted that the county office was in trouble, interrupting a banquet with a good atmosphere.

"Prison robbery?"

Lu Linghao's face was ugly, as a county magistrate, what he hated the most was a rampant incident, last time Xue Bai and Gao Chong had a big enough quarrel, he finally calmed down the situation, and he would never tolerate it again.

"Quick! Back to the county office. ”

Putting down the wine glass, Lu Linghao immediately got up and left, and turned to look at Xue Bai when he brushed his sleeves. Although there was no evidence, he could still realize that the incident had something to do with the unwilling county lieutenant. Guo Taigong hurriedly beckoned Guo Jian and said, "There have been no such troubled people in the county for decades, you bring the first part to help the county officials."

The ministry is also a kind of domestic slave, responsible for farming, for the master's family to send various dispatches, in the Northern and Southern Dynasties or the early Tang Dynasty, he will also follow the master's family in the army, that is, the family. Mrs. Guo is old and old-fashioned, also known as a "trilogy", but in fact, he can scare the untouchables with a stick at most.

"Yes, uncle, don't worry."

Guo Jian hurriedly followed Lu Linghao and left.

Xue Bai was still the most polite, calmly announced his resignation to Mrs. Guo, and agreed to go to the banquet next time.

The county officials rushed back to the county office with their people, only to see that the ground was full of messes, and the officers fell to the ground one by one rolling and wailing, and the county cell door had been opened, and seven or eight key criminals had escaped.

"What's going on? Who would dare to rob the prison?!

No matter how angry Lu Linghao was, the robber of the prison had disappeared, and only the gentry and people who came came came over and put forward their opinions.

When everyone rushed to the back corridor, they found that the thieves even dared to steal from the county office, and even the official documents were turned out and scattered everywhere.

Xue Bai then stepped forward to pick up a copy, looked through it for a while, suddenly frowned, turned his head and ordered: "Bring the tax book!" ”

Yin Liang was originally hiding in the Wei Corridor, but he happened to come out and hurriedly asked, "Shaofu, what's wrong?" ”

"The acres of land do not match the taxes.

"Let me see.

The two spoke quite loudly, which quickly attracted the curiosity of the onlookers, who probed their heads and muttered in a low voice: "What happened?"

See...... Hey, Guo Lushi's family's fields add up to hundreds of hectares? But I remember that I only paid 12 hectares of tax this year, right?

Du Wulang came out from behind the bamboo garden with a frightened face and said loudly, "The thief is gone?" What is it? He also showed me that his performance was also based on the experience of making trouble in Chunqiu, and when he spoke, he looked at the small landlords in the crowd who had little money, these people had more status and insight than ordinary farmers, and they were far less than the big gentry, they were actually the backbone of Yanshi County's annual tax payment.

Du Wulang is not afraid of being exposed to him for performing, the most important thing in making trouble is the atmosphere, as long as the atmosphere is ignited, people don't care about the details at all. He is not afraid of eye contact, and sincere eyes can encourage the other person to vent his emotions.

"What?

"Guo Jian is a big family, and the tax he pays is the same as mine?

"You see....

Lu Linghao and Guo Jian were still interrogating who came to rob the prison and who robbed them, putting on a very majestic expression, and suddenly heard the dissatisfied accusations in the crowd, and at this time they couldn't stop the spread of the Honda booklet.

"Calm down!" Guo Jian shouted: "That's not the case, the county hasn't measured the acres of land for several years, and the taxes are still collected according to the green seedling book of the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan."

"Then is this the Qingmiao album recreated by Guo Lushi?

"It's... No. ”

Recently, Guo Jian only measured the fields of ordinary farmers and found many small hermits. However, he didn't plan to make a register according to the current acres of land, so as not to levy taxes on the family's fields, and always thought that Xue Bai would be transferred away soon.

"Listen to me explain that these fields are not not tax-free, but in the name of the original landlord.....

"Some people occupy an area of nearly 1,000 hectares, but they are only one of the hundred taxes; Is it fair that some people have less than 100 acres of land, but they pay higher taxes than them?! Someone suddenly shouted.

Du Wulang couldn't help snickering when he heard this, knowing that once the atmosphere was up, the explanation would be useless at all, and for people, catharsis was the most important thing.

"Yes, there are too many hidden fields of the Guo family, and this matter is absolutely unreasonable!"

When Song Mian arrived, what he saw was such a noisy scene. Xue Bai had forced Guo Jian into a dilemma. Or, admit in public that these fields do not belong to the Guo family; Or, take out the taxes that have been in arrears for more than ten years.

"Mr. Song is here!

"Everyone, you might as well listen to what Mr. Song has to say."

The head of Shouyang Academy sounds ordinary, but in fact he has a wide range of connections, and the Song family does not lack high-ranking and powerful people, so Song Mian has a very high reputation in Yanshi County.

At this time, everyone's eyes looked at him, all with anticipation. Some people think that Mr. Song has a noble character and will speak up, but Guo Jian thinks that Song Mian should know the truth of cold lips and teeth, and should not sit back and watch Xue Bai insult the Guo family like this.

Guo Lian couldn't wait to shout out, "Xue Bai is provoking all the big families this time, we should unite." ”

However, in the face of his expectant gaze, Song Mian turned a blind eye and turned his head to look at Xue Bai.

"I believe the county lieutenant!

Song Mian listened to everyone's story, looked upright, and said: "In the past, there were profiteers like Guo Wanjin in Yanshi County, and there were corrupt officials like Gao Chong, who did evil things.....

Filthy officer, I believe the county lieutenant will judge impartially. ”

When it came to the filthy officials, Song Mian hesitated, although he and Guo Jian had no personal friendship, but they were both local clans and family businesses were adjacent, so it was not easy to grudge, but thinking of the more than ten hectares of fertile land promised by Xue Bai, he still chose justice.

His words seemed to give Xue Bai confidence.

"As a county clerk, he uses his power for personal gain, hides acres of land, and accumulates so much debt to such an appalling place, when the Tang Dynasty has no royal law?" Xue Bai shouted: "Take down Guo Jian first!" ”

In the first half of the sentence, many people thought that Lieutenant Xue was trying to increase his momentum, but the last "take" made them all startled.

In the past 20 years, the county order and the county lieutenant have been like flowing water, but Guo Jian has always been in the county office, he neither fights for power nor is arrogant, and he welcomes every county official with a smile, like a welcoming pine in the county office, standing tall.

I didn't expect Xue Bai to be so eager to make a move, even Song Mian and the small landlords who were clamoring thought that they were just making a disturbance today.

Lu Linghao was even more stunned, and then his anger surged, and he couldn't even take care of the cultivation of the county order, and said angrily: "Who dares?!" ”

As soon as the words came out, he regretted it, because Xue Xian had already pounced, and directly pressed Guo Lian's old and fat body, and scolded in his mouth: "The old silverfish dares to move." ”

I don't know if this is scolding Guo Jian or Lu Linghao.

Lu Linghao became more and more angry, raised his hand and pointed, and shouted: "This county dismisses Xue Xian's position as the head of the team!" Take this little cub down!

A group of messengers were beaten and rolled on the ground, only to hear the county lieutenant's order to take Guo Lian, a few messengers wanted to stand up, and then listened to the order of the county order, and couldn't help but be embarrassed.

"Ouch!

Qi Chou rolled on the ground and cried out in pain, which seemed a little abrupt, but it also attracted the attention of the officers, and he waved his hand like a dog with a paw, signaling them to lie down.

All of a sudden, there was another moan.

When Lu Linghao heard it in his ears, he only felt that he was provoking the authority of his county order, raised his hand and pointed at the Guo family members behind him, and shouted: "You guys, take him down!"

Lao Liang stood directly in front of Xue Xian.

At this time, Jiang Hai also came over, brushed aside a few parts and passed through the crowd, and turned around and scolded: "What are you looking at?!" Good dogs don't get in the way. ”

He had a scar on his face and a vicious look, which directly scared these big men who had never killed anyone into silence, he arrogantly swung his shoulders, walked to Lao Liang's side, grinned, and waited to see who dared to make the first move.

Lu Linghao was riding a tiger and it was difficult to get down, but Xue Bai gave him the steps and said, "County order, it's appropriate to take Guo Lushi down and ask him first, and find out the truth." ”

"This matter is very suspicious, and the county will definitely open the court in person!

Lu Linghao snorted angrily and walked away, temporarily avoiding the edge in order to avoid being caught off guard by Xue Bai.

The Guo family surrounded the county office and put pressure on the county lieutenant. At the same time, someone ran to report the matter to Mrs. Guo.

"Well, we haven't taken his new field yet, but let him take our good field first. The old man lived to be seventy years old, and he had never seen such an ugly county official.

Mrs. Guo quickly saw through the conspiracy against the Guo family behind this matter, and invited the county princes to his home that night.

Although it was getting late, each family gave him face and sent people, including the Song family of Luhun Villa, who was not absent, and it was Song Mian's nineteenth uncle who came.

"Song Nineteen, your nephew is not sensible, but the old man has to explain it to you clearly. If it was only Guo Lian's matter today, he would have been killed by Xue Bai, and the old man would not blink an eye, but what was Xue Bai's purpose this time? Hideda! Which of you dares to say that there is no hidden field?

In the candlelight, Mrs. Guo's old body looked very weak, but his eyes were full of experience and wisdom.

Who is the real owner of Yanshi County? Not the county officials, but the families who have lived here for generations.

The high self-righteousness is in fact nothing more than a victim of the displeasure they have pushed out to bear the displeasure of the saints; Xue Bai thought that he would take power after getting rid of Gao Chong, but in fact, this Gao Chong was just the waves on the sea, and they were the silent and deep sea.

"There is a hungry tiger into the village and bites a person, if the others do not save it, when the hungry tiger finishes eating this person, it has the strength, and will bite everyone in the village to death, including women and children. If Xue Bai found out the first batch of Hidden Fields, would he let go of more Hidden Fields? ”

It is impossible for the Guo family to give up those fields, nor to make up for the accumulated taxes, and there is no way out in the official face, so there is only one last option, struggle.

Guo Taigong held on his crutches, stood up, and finally said: "The hungry tiger wants to eat people, and we must work together to kill it." ”

Not long ago, he was still feasting on Xue Bai to release goodwill, but who knew that the other party was so ignorant.

But it doesn't matter, such a moth to the fire, he has seen a lot in his life, how many people can do things in the encirclement and suppression of the gentry?

It's like if someone dares to drown in the sea, they will only be swallowed by the sea.

At night, in the History Department, Xue Bai was sitting opposite Guo Lian and talking.

"You don't have to confess." Guo Lian's smile was still amiable, and he said, "If the county lieutenant wants to know anything, ask the pen clerk to the county office."

Get out. Xiao Lao'er made it clear to the county lieutenant in private, how about it? ”

"Good.

Xue Bai also simply retreated from others and asked Guo Jian to bring a pot of wine to warm up.

"Lieutenant Xie." Guo Lianle took a sip of wine and said, "Little Lao'er has never harmed anyone in his life, and every time he meets a beggar, he will give a few copper coins." can be the head of the county office, and there is really no shortage of bad things, and the most common thing to do is to help occupy the land, which is also the norm in various states and counties.

Is it a bastard to have benefits and not to take possession?

"That's right." Guo Jian said: "There is no bad person in Yanshi County, most of them are kind and benevolent people, and they are good for hospitality girls, tribesmen, and slaves. In the beginning, some farmers were red-eyed, and the subordinates of high-ranking families had better clothing and shelter than them, and there were occasional disasters

years, people who can't survive abandon their fields and sell themselves...... Truth be told, these are in the minority, and most of the time it's because the taxes are getting heavier every year. ”

Xue Bai said: "It's not so much that the tax is heavy, but that the tax system can't continue." ”

"Yes, when the Tang Dynasty was founded, the taxes were really not heavy, 80 acres of land and 20 acres of Yongye field, only two stones of grain were collected, and the farmers were very abundant. So far, what do people say...... In short, there are more and more escapees. ”

The hundred-year-old accumulation of disadvantages of a dynasty is naturally not something that can be explained clearly in a few words. But Xue Bai has always understood the truth that Guo Lian wants to say, there are gaps in the system, and it is inevitable for high-ranking families to expand their fields and hide serfs.

Guo Jian thinks he is a good person.

After ten hectares of fertile land, it didn't take long for Luhun Villa to send someone to say that the landlord under Shouyang Mountain wanted to sell himself, and then Zheng Wei came to the door in person.........

"There are many escapees, and it is inevitable that the fields will be involved. There are some requests, but the little old man really can't refuse. At first, Cui instigated that this could be regarded as a confession, but it was far more than the Guo family.

"By the way, there are also temples, and the county governor knows how many fields there are in Xingfukuji Temple."

Xue Bai interrupted, "Are you threatening me?" Remind me not to offend the wrath of the public. ”

Guo Jian took a sip of wine comfortably and said with a smile: "If the county lieutenant thinks so, he is not wrong." But Xiao Lao'er was out of good intentions, and he didn't want the county lieutenant's career to be frustrated here. ”

"Thank you for your kindness. Sometimes I also think that a lot of things will pass with a blind eye. ”

"Yes, when Xiao Lao'er was young, he was like a county lieutenant, he had to be tough, so that everyone around him was unhappy, but when he looked back, why bother? Most things in the world are not worth being too attached to. ”

Saying that, Guo Jian sighed with emotion, and said: "It's like, the county lieutenant thinks that he is making trouble in the sea and turning the world upside down, but if you look far away, what is the wave stirred up by the tide in the vast sea?" ”

Xue Bai smiled and said, "Sometimes I really envy you.

Guo Jian said: "What does the county lieutenant mean?

"Let me tell you a story, there is a big river, the water is very fast, people are going down the river, cheering, feeling that they are traveling a thousand miles in a day. But there are also people who are paddling desperately, and it is difficult to move forward against the current even if they are tired. The people laughed at him and asked him why he did this, let go, go with the flow, smooth sailing, why should he be frustrated here, but why did he still paddle?

"Why?

"Because downstream is a cliff."

Guo Jian shook his head.

Xue Bai said: "It's not a sea, it's just a cliff, and if you fall, you will be crushed." I envy you for not seeing anything, shouting stupidly, drunk and dying, crashing into the abyss. ”

Guo Jian sneered: "The county lieutenant can see it? ”

"This cliff, isn't it like Datang?

Guo Jian raised his head and took a sip of wine, and responded: "This is the Tang Dynasty!" There are no cliffs, no abysses. Datang is the sea and the ocean.

Thinking about each other like a moat, Xue Bai no longer needs to talk to him about this matter.

"How is the little old man acting for the county lieutenant?" Guo Jian then pulled the topic back and said: "It is impossible for any family to allow the county lieutenant to move the hidden field, and they will immediately support the Ming Mansion to order the release of me, and in terms of official position, the Ming Mansion is the lord of a county; In terms of momentum, can the county lieutenant's subordinates withstand so many departments and nursing homes in Yanshi County? ”

Xue Bai asked, "What if I still resolutely investigate the Guo family's hidden field?"

"It's nothing more than forcing the Ming Mansion to turn around and take away all the errand positions of the county lieutenant."

"If I don't listen, will Lu County Order dare to do it?"

"Does the county lieutenant dare to make a move with the officer? Once the matter is big, it is not as easy to explain as last time. Checking the hidden fields, the county lieutenant offended not only Yanshi County, but Henan Mansion, which has a large number of hidden fields in the world, and these people can easily let you die without a place to be buried. ”

Guo Jian is not scaring Xue Bai, but it is so.

"Okay." Xue Bai said: "If it is really according to Guo Lushi's deduction, it will be like this. It's a pity that this deduction was wrong from the first sentence.

"What?

"It's impossible for any family to allow me to move the hidden fields, it's wrong here."

"Song Mian does not represent Luhun Villa." Guo Jian said with a smile: "The county lieutenant also knows Wang Yanxian, he is because he trusts Song Mian too much, but he doesn't know that Song Mian only cares about the interests of Luhun Villa.......

"It's the other way around.

This is actually Xue Bai's answer, he has long had objections, he is not like Wang Yanxian, he does not choose Duan, he has no scruples.

Guo Lushi said the opposite, this time, it was Song Mian who trusted me too much. ”

"The county lieutenant and the little old man are playing dumb riddles."

"I found out that in the matter of Song Mian, the two of us have the same opinion, and he only cares about the interests of Luhun Villa." Xue Bai said: "However, it is Guo Lushi that you trust him too much." ”

"The county lieutenant is so confident.

"I'll also make a deduction, at this moment, Song Mian is debating with Cui Yu and Zheng about how to divide up your hidden fields, and who will be the recorder. After that, he will tell Lu Linghao that the Song family is on my side this time.........

"Whimsical." Guo Jian shook his head, "A little field is not enough to make the Song family dizzy." ”

Baskets of copper coins were poured into the shaft furnace with a clatter.

Du Shi stood from a distance and watched the scene, the fire reflected in her eyes, and she kept jumping.

"Throw the bronze into it too."

"You're willing." Du Cheng walked over and sighed slightly, "If you do this, it is not profitable to cast private money." ”

Du Shi said: "I don't want money. ”

Speaking of copper, Du Niang sighed because she was worried about Xue Bai, and asked: "If the Song family does not have to pay for it, and occupies the good land of the Guo family for nothing, will it be easier to make this matter easier?" ”

"No, it is precisely because of these fake money that the Song family will stand on Ah Bai's side. 6,000 yuan of fake money, they really don't care, what they care about is that Ah Bai helped them sell the stolen goods, has a handle in their hands, and is in the same stream, it is their own people........ this is the key. ”

The Du family sisters did not tell Du Wulang about this, let alone Du Youlin.

Because although it is very common to cast private money, the gentry in the world can cast it as long as they have copper, but this is indeed a big crime.

"Because there is no turning back, once caught, we will definitely die."

Du Shi said, and the flames in his eyes seemed to be getting brighter and brighter.

She thought to herself, this is how the rebellion should be, leaving no room for herself to turn back.

"Xue Bai has no way back, he is in the same boat as us, and Uncle Nineteen can trust him."

Song Mian said this, and walked into the lobby of the Cui family with his uncle.

After chatting with Cui Qi, Zheng Wei and others for a while, Song Mian talked about his views on today's events.

"Xue Bai is different from Wang Yanxian, Wang Yanxian is a righteous gentleman, but Xue Bai is not. Therefore, I am sure that Xue Bai's move is not to investigate Yintian, he is an ambitious person, what he wants is to take power, get rid of the recorder Guo Lian, and cut off Lu Linghao's right-hand man, this is Xue Bai's real purpose. ”

But what Mrs. Guo said also makes sense........

"It's just a matter of taking advantage of the guys." Song Mian said: "I absolutely trust my judgment. ”

Cui instigated and groaned: "If this is the case, it is an official matter, and it has nothing to do with us?" ”

Song Mian smiled: "It has nothing to do with us.

Zheng Wei looked at the faces of several members of the Song family, and guessed that Song Mian must have a secret deal with Xue Bai to carve up the Guo family's fertile land.

It seems that Xue Bai not only wants to grasp the power of Gao Chong, but also to replace Guo Lian.

It just so happened that there was a large amount of grain in the Zheng family's warehouse that was about to become moldy, and the silk was about to be damp and faint. Zheng Wei pulled over one of the Song family and whispered: "Nineteenth brother, how to deal with the hidden field of the Guo family, have you asked the county office?" ”

He was talking about the county office, and there was a faint sense that Xue Bai could replace the county office.

As long as there are interests and trustworthy, in fact, what is the difference between Xue Bai, Lu Linghao, and Guo Lian?

They were never afraid that the county officials would be too greedy, but only that the county officials would be too upright.....

Xue Bai and Guo Jian chatted deeply, but neither could convince each other.

How about we make a bet?

In the end, Xue Bai said: "I will let the Guo family pay more than 500 hectares of hidden land, and then make up for the arrears of taxes over the years." ”

Guo Jian said: "The Guo family lost, but it was ruined and avoided disasters." It's a pity that the little old man's uninspiring dispatch is gone. If the county lieutenant loses, he will lose a great future. ”

"It's okay, but if I win, I'll give you a chance to make a comeback." Xue Bai said: "When you have nothing, remember to come to me." ”

Guo Jian had already drunk a pot of wine, his face turned red from drinking, and he said with a smile: "At that time, the anger of the public will be aroused, as long as the county lieutenant is willing to be soft, the little old man is also willing to come forward and turn around." ”

He was very sure that he would win, and he didn't want Xue Bai to take out the bet.

"As long as the county lieutenant gives me another jug of wine tonight.

"Good.

Xue Baizhen got up and went to get the wine.

Guo Jian said proudly: "Little Lao'er has been a teacher all his life, how can he be wrong about these people?" Ginger is still old and spicy. ”

"But some gingers are not spicy when they are old, only old."

"Take the wine, take the wine, the wine is spicy."

The door was opened, Xue Bai went out, the cold wind of the spring night poured in, and the sound of conversation in the distance was faintly heard.

A few people came out of the order gallery and said things like "the prefectural order, I have taken my leave."

After that, Lu Linghao and Xue Bai talked intermittently.

Suddenly, Guo Jian shuddered, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

"The Guo family's Yintian case will be handed over to the county lieutenant for trial.......

It was indeed Lu Linghao's voice, revealing a sense of helplessness and decadence.

The sea that Guo Jian thought was disintegrated like a sand tower so quickly, and he couldn't help but stay there, as if he was aging a lot again in an instant.

After a long time, Xue Bai came in with a wine jug in his own hands.

"The county order handed over this case to me, then I will investigate it from the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan.......

"No, it can't be." Guo Jian couldn't laugh anymore, his eyes were glazed, and he muttered, "I won't be wrong about these people, no."

No, it won't.

"You read them right." Xue Bai said: "You are wrong about me. ”

He poured two glasses of wine, picked up a glass and handed it to Guo Lian's hand, and touched the next glass again.

"They haven't changed, they've always only wanted interests. But I'm much worse than you expected, so bad that you can't imagine. ”

Guo Lian was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked, only to see that Xue Bai's smile was so harmless to humans and animals......
