"What are you about to forget?"

Sanniang used the table to support the cumbersome, allowing her shoulders to relax and relax.

"Four ways to write the Chinese character!"

Li Ping'an's fingertips were dipped in water, and he wrote four words on the desktop, except for the first one is Daqian characters, and the last three are variants of "anise" in his previous life.

Sanniang leaned forward, intentionally or unintentionally revealing snow white, and stroked the corners of her mouth to let out a crisp laugh.

"This Nianyi? Ping An don't bully my sister for not reading! ”

Li Ping'an took advantage of the situation to move forward, and was about to say a few nonsense and tell a joke about the connotation of a scholar and a young lady, when suddenly the door of the wine store was kicked open.

Three men came in, wearing standard soap clothes, and the leader had an iron ruler pinned to his waist.

White servitude!

In order to better govern the people, they will hire supernumerary personnel to assist in tax collection patrols, investigation and arrest, and so on.

White servants are temporary workers, and the court does not pay them, and their income depends entirely on their own ability.

Fortunately, with the soap clothes issued by the imperial court, it can be regarded as wearing a tiger skin, as long as you can fish for oil and water, you will never be short of money to spend.

The man at the head was tall and big, with a face full of meat, squinting and sweeping around the wine shop, and the originally lively and noisy voice suddenly lowered.

"Where's the boss, where did he die?"

The guy hurriedly went over, nodded and said, "This master, what are you eating?" ”

The man scolded: "What to eat, let's collect the tax money." ”

The guy said with a bitter face: "Didn't you just collect this month's tax money?" ”

The man brutally pushed the guy away and shouted angrily: "You know a fart, boss, call him out." ”

Sanniang glanced at Li Ping'an, who was drinking indifferently, frowned slightly, his eyes were slightly red, and he got up and came to the man, blessed his body.

"This lord's surname? What taxes are charged? ”

"Our surname is Pang, line two, call Pang Ye, second master is okay."

Pang Erse looked Sanniang up and down with a smile, and said with a smile: "I built a shed outside the wine shop, put a wine jar, occupied the official street, and had to pay the road tax." ”

Sanniang asked, "How much?" ”

Pang Er rubbed his hands: "January 20." ”

When the guy heard this, he wanted to argue, Sanniang shook his head slightly, took out a stacked copper coin from his cuff and handed it to Pang Er, and then took out a broken piece of silver, with a pleading voice in his voice.

"Pang Ye will take care of it in the future."

"It's easy to say, the boss lady is so cute, let's take care of it every day!"

Pang Er took the opportunity to collect money, touched Sanniang's hand, laughed proudly, and took the two dogs to the next house to collect taxes.

The road occupation tax is just a reason, and even if the next family does not occupy the road, they can find other reasons to collect money.

Those who are obedient will be charged a few less taxes, and those who are disobedient will be charged a few more taxes, and if they dare not pay, they will report to the yamen, and if they can't say it, they will go bankrupt.

When the customers in the store arrived at this scene, no one dared to stand up and speak.

When Pang Er walked away, there was a lot of discussion.

"What's the new rule?"

"As soon as Master Fu Yin patted his head, the scourge of the law changed below......"

"Be careful!"

"I've heard of this Pang Er, it seems to be the leader of some black wolf gang in Nancheng, he was arrested and imprisoned a few days ago, how did he become an official?"

"With the support of the yamen, who can be cured!"

“……”

window.

Li Ping'an listened to the guests' discussions, and had some cognition and speculation about the newly appointed Lu Fuyin, and pondered how to deal with the new policy.

The predecessor Liu Fuyin did not have much background, advocating autonomy in the community, lest he arrest someone and provoke a big person.

As a result, I was careful and careful, and I got close to the East Palace, and I didn't escape the end of exile.

Lu Fuyin is different, he belongs to the Lu family in Jiangnan, the background of a thousand-year-old family, and wants to grasp everything in Beijing in his hands.

Arresting gangs and appointing them as white laborers is just one of the means.

Sanniang walked over and sat back opposite: "Ping'an, my sister has been lonely for so many years, and I want to find a shoulder to lean on." ”

The new government Yin's drastic reforms, not to talk about good or bad, can drown Sanniang by blowing a storm at will, and you must find a backer to be stable.

The autumn wind has not moved the cicadas, and the sense of smell of the people is more sensitive than that of the officials.

Li Ping'an raised his eyelids: "Who told you?" ”

"Ding Datou."

Sanniang didn't dare to hide it, and explained: "A few days ago, Ding Datou came to drink, drank too much and told people that Ping An Kung Fu is very powerful, and there are several masters in the capital!" ”

Ding Datou was a soldier of the Soldiers and Horses Division, and he had previously made night patrols under Li San.

Li Ping'an shook his head: "He just brags nonsense, and I will do some crops." ”

The cultivation of martial arts is very costly, the process is difficult, and the practitioners only account for the majority of the population.

Liangzhou Shuangsha has reached the realm of quenching bones, and has been able to crisscross a state, Li Ping'an has practiced iron leg skills and iron cloth shirts to the completion of forging the body, and has shin treasures, and has barely stepped into the ranks of masters.

However, compared with Yan Chixiao and Zhigang, there is still a gap of 108,000 miles.

Sanniang heard the refusal, thinking that Li Ping'an couldn't look down on herself, and said: "Then can you let Xiaorong apprentice and pour tea and water for Ping'an in the future." ”

Xiaorong is Sanniang's son, her husband's surname is Ye, and he has been dead for ten years.

Li Ping'an pondered for a moment and refused: "I am not qualified to accept apprentices, go to the Soldiers and Horses Division to find the third brother, tell him about it, and I will help you solve the trouble." ”

Sanniang's face was happy, and with the blessing of the Soldiers and Horses, there was no need to be afraid of Pang Er and others.

"Thank you for peace."

"It doesn't matter."

Li Ping'an drank all the wine, ate the last fennel bean, and was about to leave.

"Peace, I have something to tell you."

Sanniang pointed to the desktop: "The word you wrote, the concubine seems to have seen it!" ”

"Where have you seen it?"

Li Ping'an's brows furrowed slightly, and the left hand in the cuff had already touched the poisonous powder.

Sanniang recalled carefully for a long time, glanced left and right, lowered her voice and said: "Four years ago, a group of people came to eat and drink, and one of them took off his coat and embroidered this word on his chest. ”

"Are you sure?"

"I'm not sure, it just looks like it."

"How many months?"

"Layue, that's the ......"

Sanniang noticed Li Ping'an's eyes when she spoke, and there was a trace of murderous intent in her indifference, so she was so frightened that she couldn't sit still, and she didn't dare to continue.

"It's better to forget something!"

Li Ping'an brushed off the handwriting on the table, got up and walked out of the wine shop.

A cold wind blows.

Involuntarily, the killing intent in his heart suddenly disappeared, the hand holding the poison powder bag slowly let go, and looked up at the dark sky.

tightened his shirt and returned to the mortuary with his hands folded.

First the explosives buried in the yard and house were inspected, then the explosives bags and detonators under the bed, and then the two hand cannons.

Even if the Martial Arts Grandmaster comes, he can be blasted into the sky!

Li Ping'an stroked the dark and cold black iron barrel, only the power in his hand is the foundation of people's peace of mind.

The yamen policy became even faster than expected.

A few days later.

Uncle Zhuzi, who had not been seen for a long time, came to the door with a corpse on his back.

Li Ping'an opened the door to welcome him in, waited for him to put the corpse down, and asked, "Master De doesn't accept the corpse over there?" ”

Uncle Zhu shook his head and said helplessly: "The yamen has issued an order, and the corpses in each fang city can only be sent to the corresponding mortuary room, and if you dare to move it at will, you will hit the board." ”

"This rule ......"

Li Ping'an didn't know how to judge, for Yongxingfang and other upper-class cities, there are few people who die accidentally, and the corpse collectors may not be able to earn enough food.

There are also benefits, such as ease of management, statistics, and so on.

took out a stacked copper coin from the cuff and stuffed it into Uncle Zhuzi's hand: "A corpse is ten cents, so Uncle Zhu has to eat and drink." ”

"Thank you, thank you."

Uncle Zhuzi's face was slightly red, and he bowed down again and again to thank him, in the past two years, Uncle De has given him a lot of money, and he has never come to carry the corpse for Li Ping'an, and now he can't help but feel a little ashamed.

Following.

Li Ping'an received an order from the yamen, requiring that the corpses received every day be recorded, and the origin, name, wounds, cause of death, etc., should be recorded, and reported at the end of the month.

According to what the yamen said, it is convenient to arrest and investigate the case quickly.

The yamen will issue two coins of silver to subsidize the consumption of paper and pencils, which also means to be rich.

It's a pity that the scribe who passed the message hinted to Li Ping'an that the silver would be sent down in name, but in fact it would be kept by Master Hu for the time being.

As for how long you want to keep it, it depends on how long you want to be on duty in the mortuary!
