Chapter 28: Learn [Lu Bu] and Kill [Father-in-law]
Seeing these greedy officials open their mouths to beg for money, Wang Baisheng couldn't help but snort coldly and sneered:
"The eight-character yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money."
Chen Che also never liked the living master, so he leaned closer and asked softly:
"Senior Brother Wang, do you still remember, the Mountain Patrol Division, the Sentinel Camp, and the Little Flag Officer-Cheng Prison?"
"Don't dare to forget for a moment", a trace of hatred flashed in Wang Baisheng's eyes: "If it weren't for this thief, I would have made meritorious contributions in the army and sheltered my family!" ”
A gleam flashed in Chen Che's eyes, and he didn't continue to ask, until he did.
The two followed Song Xuefeng, turned around a few halls, and came to the back yahu room.
Coincidentally.
Chen Che actually bumped into an acquaintance.
Once in the Ji family's shop, a middle-aged official who had a relationship with Jiang Ji.
As soon as they met, he was amazed and exclaimed:
"I have been an official for 20 years, and it is the first time I have seen someone as a domestic slave, skipping the civil registration and going straight to the hunting household registration."
Although the Dajing Dynasty has always had the rule of "handing over the corpses of spirits and changing their hunting status", more than a dozen households in Liuyang Town are promoted to hunters every year.
But as a slave, skipping the civil registration in one fell swoop, such a rare thing, Jiang Jiyu has only seen it in the storybook, and it is all the words of the big heroes and heroes.
In reality, it is extremely rare.
"Upgrading to two in a row" sounds like a bit legendary.
"Leshan Mansion, Hejian County, Banqiao Township, Chen Che ......" Jiang Ji read the household booklet, turned to the pages related to "Zhao", and asked: "You are the righteous son of Tea Horse Ancient City, under the name of Master Zhao?" ”
"Yes."
Chen Che nodded.
At the beginning of the founding of the Dajing State, Emperor Taizu stipulated:
"Non-meritorious nobles are not allowed to keep slaves, and there shall not exceed twenty people for the first rank, twelve for the second rank, and eight for the third rank...... A hundred rods for violators! ”
However, the strong demand of the people led to the system of righteous sons, which quickly degenerated into de facto slavery, and buying slaves was called "recognizing righteous sons", male slaves were called "righteous men", and female slaves were called "righteous women".
Think of it.
Chen Che couldn't help but think of the so-called "father-in-law-Zhao Lengsong".
He really wants to one day, like Lu Wenhou, hold the halberd and be a father.
Then, the kindest greetings to the stepfather:
"Have you eaten? Didn't eat? ”
"Eat me with a halberd!"
Thinking.
Chen Che took out the remains of the brocade mouse from the basket and said in a deep voice:
"Please verify it."
"Well, this is indeed the corpse of a spirit, and the corpse is generally well preserved", as a person in the official mansion, Jiang Jiyu was unwilling to get involved in the fight between the two families of Zhao Fan, everything was according to the rules, and after confirming the corpse of the brocade mouse, he said officially: "According to the unified price of the government, you only need to pay two taels of silver to forcibly redeem the deed, even if it is the Zhao Mansion, it must not be stopped." ”
"This money, Song Gongzi has already helped you out."
When Chen Che heard this, he was in a good mood.
Even if calculated according to the "family ding" at the beginning, his redemption silver was as high as nine taels.
He saved seven taels of silver, which means that Zhao Lengsong lost seven taels.
Is this good? This is good!
Jiang Jiyu took out the "Orion Waist Card" that had been prepared from the drawer, which was made of camphor wood and had a faint aftertaste.
Chen Che's hometown information is engraved on it: "Leshan Mansion, Hejian County, Banqiao Township, Chen Che, the only son in the family, hunting household registration, five feet four inches high." ”
Not only Orion, the Dajing Dynasty has a strong control over the place, even ordinary people, there are corresponding wooden cards.
If you have not carried a wooden sign, you are not allowed to enter major cities and towns, nor are you allowed to stay in a hotel, which is equivalent to the "identity card" of modern society.
If you want to go far away and leave the county, you even need to show the "road guide" or "monk road" before you can be released.
Chen Che took the wooden sign and hung it around his waist.
It also signifies:
He officially became a registered hunter of the Dajing Dynasty.
From this moment on, Chen Che finally broke through the cage of Zhao Mansion and returned to his free body, without shackles!
The sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly!
"Brother Chen Che, from today onwards, you will officially become the hunter of our town", Jiang Jiyu congratulated him: "In the future, your family, at the time of the autumn harvest every year, pay one or two pieces of silver, and you and your wife, boys under the age of seven, and unmarried daughters under the age of fifteen can be exempted from many miscellaneous taxes and forced labor. ”
A "whip law" limited to a certain group?
Chen Che thought in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
Ordinary people endure exorbitant taxes day and night, and work without end, but as a hunter, he only needs to pay the mountain tax, which can save countless troubles.
Most importantly.
Obtaining the hunting household registration also means that he is free from the hidden danger of being forced by the government to pull strong dings.
Gao Jinzhong and Cheng Prison's little trick is self-defeating!
Come to think of this.
Chen Che turned around and said to Song Xuefeng: "Today's slavery, everything is going well, Senior Brother Song's grace up and down, Chen Che must keep it in mind." ”
Song Xuefeng laughed:
"Congratulations to Brother Chen Che, get rid of the slave body, and become an Orion, today is a double happiness, Song has a treat, when the secular affairs of Daozhuang are completed, and you are free at night, go to the Ji family shop to drink two cups, how about it?"
"It's time to celebrate."
Chen Che smiled slightly and returned the salute with a fist.
"Just because you get off your slave body doesn't mean that Zhao Fu doesn't dare to do anything to you?" , Wang Baisheng, as the head of the Daozhuang Sect, believes in force more than a bullshit wooden brand of the government, his body is closer, and he admonishes Chen Che in a cold voice: "You still have to practice martial arts day and night, only if you are strong can you keep yourself and your family safe, understand?" ”
"I'll save it."
Chen Che nodded yes, his expression was solemn, and he didn't have the slightest idea of relaxation.
The three of them walked out of the yamen quickly.
saw a slender soap-robed little official, already waiting in front of the door, and said in a respectful tone: "Excuse me, which son is the one who hunted the white-eyed golden toad?" ”
Chen Che took the initiative to respond:
"It's me."
"This morning, the villain was instructed by Lord Li to post the list", the soap-robed little official said respectfully: "I didn't expect that it was only an hour or two, and you returned with the corpse of the spirit, which is really admirable to the villain." ”
The "Master Li" in the mouth of the soap-robed little official is Li Daoya, the chief flag officer of the Mountain Patrol Division, with a rank of seven grades, and he is also a well-known master in Liuyang Town, and he can even rely on his own hard power to survive in the miasma for nearly three hours.
"Childe, please come with me."
"Okay."
Chen Che, Song Xuefeng, and Wang Baisheng followed the soap-robed officials to the separately set up mountain patrol division next to the yamen.
Look up.
The architectural style of the Patrol Division is in stark contrast to the dilapidated yamen.
There are more than a dozen luxurious attics, all of which are paved with stone slabs, white walls and tiles, antique, and even carved with the "Flying Tiger" pattern on the wooden windows.
The area of the Mountain Patrol Division is only slightly smaller than that of the town yamen.
There are many mountain people who believe that this division is the power center of Liuyang Town.
In front of the gate.
There is a notice board with several examples.
Among them, a new list article that has just been posted is about the content of [White-eyed Golden Toad].
