"Money, money shopkeeper, who deposited the silver in this Yan, Yanran girl's account?" Zhou Ling tapped the account book with his finger.

"It's this Lee rat. The young man in Chinese clothes said with a smile: "This Li Rat seems to have a soft spot for this Yanran girl, and this thousand is also deposited in five times." ”

"Where did this money come from?What is the relationship between him and this Yanran girl?" An Dafang slapped the table: "Could it be that he framed me for this Yanran girl?"

"Ann, Captain An, whether it's me or not, let's go to the prison and ask Li Rat, and we'll know. Zhou Ling closed the account book and returned it to the young man in Huafu: "Money, money shopkeeper, beat, disturb."

"Let's go, two adults. The young man in Chinese costume sent An Dafang and Zhou Ling to the door of Qianzhuang, and looked at their backs in the distance, and the face that was originally full of smiles instantly sank: "A little guard chief dares to be so arrogant." ”

"Senior Brother Qian, who is this angry with?" a crisp and pleasant voice reached the ears of the young man in Chinese costumes.

"Are you?" the young man in Chinese clothes turned around and saw a handsome boy dressed in yellow cedar looking at him quietly.

"Senior Brother Qian, I don't even know Senior Sister anymore?" Huang Shan Gongzi threw an ambiguous smile at Senior Brother Qian: "It seems that Senior Brother is really a noble person, how forgetful." ”

"Are you Xiaoying?" the young man in Chinese clothes slapped his head and showed a flattering expression: "Oh! I really can't imagine that after more than ten years, I can see you again." ”

"Hmph! Senior brother finally remembered me. Huangshan Gongzi is Yin Ying, who is dressed as a man: "Over the years, my senior brother has married a beautiful wife like a flower, and I have almost forgotten my junior sister." ”

"Xiao Ying, look at what you said. Back then, the master sent you to Luoyang, and the senior brother was reluctant to do so. The young man in Chinese clothes smiled: "By the way, has my junior sister come out of Luoyang?"

"Senior brother, this is a long story. Yin Ying shook the folding fan: "Senior brother, don't you invite your senior sister to sit in the inner hall and drink tea." ”

"Oh, yes, you see my brother is all happy. The young man in Chinese clothes patted his head, and solemnly bent down and made a gesture of please: "Senior sister, please speak in the inner hall." ”

"Hmph! That's pretty much it. Yin Ying folded the fan and entered first, and the young man in Chinese clothes waved his hand to the little guy next to him: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't serve tea yet, remember to fall geese in autumn." ”

"Hey, Xiangzi, how's it going?" wrinkled Lao Liu patted Tong Bo, who had just put down the tray and was drinking water, from behind, and asked with concern.

"Sixth uncle, maybe I was too nervous and didn't get into the shopkeeper's eyes. Tong Bo pretended to be annoyed.

"It's okay, you're still young, and there will be more opportunities in the future. Just as the sixth wrinkled man said to encourage Tong Bo, the shout of serving tea sounded again: "Sixth child, serve tea, a pot of autumn geese." ”

"What kind of tea is this?" Wrinkled Lao Liu was stunned: "He has been brewing tea for decades, and all kinds of famous teas are very familiar to his chest, but he has never heard of this kind of tea." ”

"What should I do, what should I do?" wrinkled Lao Liu had to scratch his ears and cheeks, and the six gods had no master.

"Sixth Uncle, what's wrong?" Tong Bo finished drinking the water, and looked at the wrinkled old six's expression, and he knew what problem he had encountered.

"The money shopkeeper asked us to make a pot of autumn geese to entertain guests, but no one has heard of what kind of tea this is?" ”

"Sixth uncle, where is that?" Tong Bo said with a smile: "The entrance of this Biluo spring is the feeling of spring, and this autumn goose is the lonely feeling of the northern goose flying south, which can be distinguished by people who understand tea." ”

"Then what do you say?"

"Sixth uncle, it's a coincidence. Tong Bo has already begun to move: "Xiangyun happened to learn this tea when he traveled to the Quartet in his early years, so I will serve this pot of tea." ”

"Xiaoying, how are you doing in Luoyang all these years? How long are you going to stay in Jinling this time?"

"Senior brother, senior sister Keqing is in the Northern Wei County Lord's Mansion; this time I came to Jinling to be entrusted by someone to check some things, and I hope that my senior brother will help. Yin Ying shook the folding fan lightly.

"It seems that the junior sister has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. The young man in Chinese clothes has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and said with a smile: "Recently, there was a fake tax collector cheating in Jinling City, and the junior sister wouldn't be here for this, right?"

"It seems that someone has already taken the first step to inquire about the news from the senior brother?" Yin Ying is also an extremely smart person, and it can be seen from the face of the young man in Chinese clothes that this Sanshun Qianzhuang has now become the object of attention from all parties.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my junior sister!" The young man in Huafu nodded: "An Dafang of the Jingwei Mansion has already come to inquire about this matter, but how could Sanshun Qianzhuang be involved in such a thing?"

"Can I take a look at the account books?" Yin Ying spread her right hand towards the young man in Chinese clothes, staring at him with a smile on her face.

"Of course others can't pull it!" The young man in Chinese clothes also looked at Yin Ying with a smile: "But junior sister is not an outsider, so naturally she can." ”

In order to facilitate the completion of the errand of the household, the Pangu blacksmith shop was originally built in Shuanglong Alley, which is 30 zhang away from the household; from a distance, the signboard of the Pangu blacksmith shop hangs high on a bamboo pole extending from the roof, swaying from side to side under the blowing of the breeze.

"This is the Pangu Blacksmith Shop. Ghost Face pointed to the shaking plaque and introduced it to Liu Ningshi: "It is said that not only the tax cards of the household department, but also most of the military equipment required by the military department come from this shop. ”

"This shop doesn't seem to be too big, is it so powerful?" Liu Ningshi looked at the small door in disbelief, how could she not imagine that this shop could forge so many items.

"Hahaha!" Ghost laughed heartily: "It's not enough to just look at the appearance, you just want to know how to go in and see the situation." ”

Liu Ningshi followed the ghost face through the small door, and the scene that greeted her was very different from what she had imagined just now; I saw that in the center of the shop, a tall, muscular man was pulling the bellows hard, and the vigorous flames in the furnace of the oven were jumping upward; around the oven were repairing five large iron piers, and five sturdy men with naked upper bodies were holding the hammer and knocking the iron tools on the iron tun rhythmically for forging, making a "ding" impact sound.

"Brother Ren, it's really hot in this shop. In just three breaths, Liu Ningshi only felt that sweat was about to ooze from her clothes.

"Oh, Brother Ren, what is the wind that blows you? Before Oniface could reply, a warm greeting rang out behind them.

Liu Ningshi followed the sound and looked back, and there was a tall and mighty man walking towards them, who looked a head taller than the ghost face, and only wore a short-sleeved cloth shirt on his upper body, which made his coiled and knotted muscles extremely conspicuous.

"Looking for you, in addition to drinking, I naturally have something to inquire. The ghost face and the tall man who stepped forward clasped their hands together, looking extremely familiar.

"If there's anything to ask, just say. The tall man was very happy when he saw his old friend.

"It's so hot here, where is the place to talk?" Ghost smiled and patted the man's shoulder: "Let's go to the gazebo behind your house." ”

"Yes, yes, you see I'm so happy that I forgot to go to the gazebo. The man laughed.

The cool breeze in the gazebo behind the house, surrounded by green grass, contrasted sharply with the heat of the blacksmith's shop.

"Brother Ren, who is this little brother?" the tall man poured three bowls of water and placed them in front of the three of them.

"Why are you still so clumsy?" Ghost Face was not polite to him, picked up the bowl and drank it all: "This is Miss Liu, the daughter of the court's book." ”

"Girl?" the tall man's eyes widened, and he touched the back of his head: "I really didn't see it at once." ”

"Miss Liu, this is the shopkeeper of this blacksmith shop. Ghost Face shook his head: "Don't be too polite to him, that's his character." ”

"Shopkeeper Wang, in fact, Ning Shi came today to ask you about the preparation method of the household tax card?" Liu Ningshi got up and bowed.

"Miss Liu doesn't have to be polite. Wang Pan is a cool person, and he is also informal when he intersects with ghosts: "I have also heard about the fake tax collector recently, even if you don't come to the door, I will take the initiative to go to the Tingwei Mansion." ”

"In your experience, is it possible for those fake tax collectors to use high-imitation tax cards to cheat taxes?" asked Ghost Face.

"Please take a look, both of you. Wang Pan took out a sign from his waist and put it on the table: "This tax card is made by my Pangu blacksmith shop and Danian blacksmith shop, and this template is provided by the household department, and it looks like this." ”

Liu Ningshi picked up the tax card and looked at it carefully for a moment, and then stroked it repeatedly in her palm: "At the bottom of the brass card, the word "tax" in copper is fine, which looks exactly the same as the tax card we saw in the household department, no difference. ”

Ghost Face also took the tax card and looked at it for a long time, nodded and said, "It's exactly the same." ”

"Hey, hey, hey. Wang Pan laughed a few times, with a smug look: "This tax card is actually only a semi-finished product, and the back of the tax card must be engraved with three wave-shaped relief patterns by several carving masters in the household department in order to be regarded as a real tax card." ”

Liu Ningshidai frowned slightly: "Shopkeeper Wang, are you sure you remember correctly?"

"Sure. Wang Pan nodded very affirmatively: "My little shop also pays taxes every month, so I have also seen the finished product tax card." ”

"The tax plates we saw in the poor house of the household that day were not embossed. Liu Ningshi and Ghost Face glanced at each other, and exchanged secretly: "Wang Pan will not lie, the tax cards we saw in the household department that day should all be fake." ”

"There must be a fake tax collector in this household, otherwise how could such a large-scale fraud be achieved?"

"Then has anyone taken a large amount of semi-finished tax cards from you recently?" asked Liu Ningshi again.

"Yes!" Wang Pan continued: "Recently, Li Chuan from the household department came to take away twenty semi-finished products. ”

"Brother Ren, it seems that we have to visit the household department again. Liu Ningshi got up and left: "Shopkeeper Wang, then we will leave." ”

"Lao Pan, this wine can only be drunk next time. Seeing that Liu Ningshi was so anxious, the ghost face could only get up and say goodbye helplessly.
