On the first day of the second month, the Jiannan Jiedu Prefecture issued the Wenlishui Edict, the Yongchang Edict, the Black Mountain Edict, the Tonghai Edict and the Southern Wu Prefecture, because the four edicts and one prefecture have not reported the animal disaster situation as required, and the validity period allowed by the imperial court has passed, and the two taxes of the past three years are required to be made up immediately.

At the same time, last year's two taxes were overdue, and they were also required to be paid immediately, and a fine of 30,000 yuan was imposed each.

The final payment period of the above-mentioned taxes is at the end of this month, and if the payment is not made within the time limit, the Jiedu Government will severely punish them, and investigate the relevant persons.

Circulating this official document, the original Taoist sneered: "This guy has begun!"

Zhao Xianglu's face turned pale: "I said that it was thirty percent before, but now I have made up for it, how much does it cost......

Liu Xuanji lamented: "It's really torn up with the imperial court, how can this be good? Why don't I go to Yizhou again and talk to Xian Yuxiang..."

Cheng Shanhu was furious: "Talking about birds, you surrender faction! Wait for this official to raise troops to kill Yizhou......

The butcher looked at Gu Zuo and said, "How to deal with it, you can make it clear." ”

Gu Zuo nodded and said to everyone: "What should I do if I am not in Xianghui, in fact, everyone knows it in their hearts, I have already blown the wind with you, and everyone has been preparing since two months ago." Here, I want to rest assured that what Xian Yuxiang has done is not on the table, whether it is the emperor or the political hall, he will not openly stand up for him, there are many people in Chang'an who understand righteousness, they are sympathetic to us, and they are on our side. Therefore, I would like to remind you that we have not turned against the imperial court, and the root cause of everything is that corrupt officials are not in the past, and we are fighting against the lack of prosperity, and you must have a clear understanding of this. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone's mood was much better, Liu Xuanji nodded as if grasping a life-saving straw, and said continuously: "That's right, it's Xian Yu to this dog official, deceive His Majesty, and coax the political affairs hall, let's come to this dog official, we must let him lose his official position and be dismissed! Unless he bows his head to us......"

Gu Zuo interrupted: "In short, don't be scared by him, just a knot, don't think that he is a tiger, in my eyes, he is just a sick cat! Take 10,000 steps back, even if he is not a sick cat, give him a sick cat!"

Liu Xuanji muttered: "It's really a fight......"

Jia Gui covered his mouth and expressed his attitude to Gu Zuo: "Resolutely support the wise decision of the Gu Pavilion Master!"

After the discussion, Jia Gui complained: "Lao Liu, your brain is in water? If you continue like this, you will really be classified as a surrender faction!"

Liu Xuanji said: "I am thinking about the overall situation, and I have no selfish intentions. ”

Jia Gui snorted coldly: "You are for the overall situation, how big is your overall situation, can it be bigger than the overall situation of the hall owner?"

Liu Xuanji stopped talking, sighed and said, "Our Huaixian Pavilion is at the best time of its development, this critical period...... I'm so uncomfortable......"

Jia Gui said: "I don't feel good either, but I have seen it very clearly in the past two years, the vision of the Gu Pavilion Master is not something we can imagine, everything he wants to do, there must be a deep meaning in it, and everything that follows him will make a lot of money!"

Liu Xuanji said: "The owner of the hall has already said hello, don't talk nonsense about these two sentences......

The official document of Jiannan Jiedu Mansion quickly spread all over the place, and to Gu Zuo's expectations, many people came to persuade them openly and secretly, hoping that Gu Zuo would not have a hard top with Jiannan Jiedu Mansion, and that he would be soft when he should be soft.

Gu Zuo met with some of them, and when he talked to these people, he could feel the deep-seated fear of the imperial court in their hearts, even if Gu Zuo explained that this was caused by Xian Yu Xiang and had nothing to do with the imperial court, they would not listen.

At this time, if you can't be united, it will really get to the point where the sword and soldiers meet each other, but it will not be easy to do.

As the chairman of the committee that replaced Elder Shang, the butcher also received countless admonitions, and when the two of them talked about this matter, they both felt that it was necessary to turn it around, but how to dispel people's concerns and boost everyone's morale was deeply tricky.

At this moment, Jiedu Mansion sent a staff member, this person was named Gu You.

When he heard this name, Gu Zuo couldn't believe it, and he asked Liu Xuanji: "Is this a joke? What does Xian Yuxiang mean? Fake name, right? Is he doing it on purpose? Is it a friendship or deliberately humiliating me?"

Liu Xuanji sighed: "This person is really called Gu You, he joined the army in Zizhou, Jiannan Province, before I entered Nanzhao, I passed through Zizhou, and was arrested by this person. I think it was discovered by Xian Yuxiang and transferred to the Jiedu Mansion. ”

Gu Zuo nodded and said, "Then let's see what he says." ”

After Gu You entered the door, he looked around at the study of Changshi Mansion, and at Gu Zuo's invitation, he sat down with his head held high, looked at Gu Zuo on the opposite side, looked at it for a moment, and said with a smile: "I have heard the name of Changshi for a long time, you are very strange, I heard that Changshi is from Huiji, but I don't know which room it is?"

The Gu family is the Huiji family, one of the four surnames in Jiangdong, although Gu Zuo is "from" Huiji, but it has nothing to do with the Gu family's famous family, Gu You must have been prepared before he came, saying these words, the purpose is nothing more than to show off his family background, to the effect: I am this room, where have you never heard of the partial branch?

For this kind of family lineage theorist, Gu Zuo, who didn't have much to talk about, asked directly: "Xian Yu sent you, what do you have to say?"

Gu You sneered, and smiled secretly in his heart, sure enough, he was from a poor family, so he didn't dare to answer, so he really wanted to write a letter to the family and send it to the clan to find out which one this guy was.

He said: "The official document of the festival, the long history should have been received, but I don't know if the long history can be raised?"

Gu Zuo said: "Don't go around in circles, I have a lot of official business to deal with, and I don't have so much time and energy to guess." You just say that if you go around in circles again, then you will not be accompanied. ”

"Hey...... Okay, then I'll make it clear. Do you know why the festival gives you a grace period of one month?"

Liu Xuanji asked: "I don't know what the festival means?"

Gu You said: "I joined the army in Zizhou, and it stands to reason that this matter has nothing to do with me, but since I am of the same clan as Changshi, it is not good to stay out of this matter, lest outsiders still think that my Gu people don't know what to do." ”

This sentence is a bit of a big clan patriarch reprimanding the clansmen, not very polite, the Chengshan Tiger next to him stared at him, and was about to have a seizure, when he was pressed on the shoulder by the butcher, Chengshan Tiger followed the butcher's gesture and glanced at Gu Zuo, but saw that Gu Zuo was not angry, but was thinking.

Seeing that his words worked, Gu You sneered in his heart, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Therefore, I made a special trip to Nanwu Prefecture, planning to adjust in the middle, according to my meaning, bow my head and admit my mistake, how much should I repay, say the number, with our Gu family's family prestige, with my affection in front of Xian Yu Jiedu, he will not sell my face, everyone is harmonious, as in the past, isn't it good?"
