An epidemic disaster, see the warmth and coldness of people.

At least now Xie Huchen knows that Zhuang Menglong must not be from his side.

The people sent by Zhuang Menglong to Yizhou to find the hidden accounts were empty, but they were won by Xie Huchen, and now that the epidemic has passed, the competition around the dark accounts is about to start again.

Looking at the stack of dark accounts on the table, Xie Huchen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

This tax dark account system was left by Cao Xiangui, so there must be a step-by-step reconciliation system, and the county and state governments and even the court are probably indispensable.

If it is really liquidated, starting from the fall of Cao Xiangui, the government and the opposition will inevitably be shaken, and it is inevitable that many people will lose their positions and leave their posts.

But as far as Xie Huchen knows, apart from Cao Xiangui and his cronies being liquidated, very few officials at the state level have been implicated in the Cao case, and the only one is the former Jiangzhou governor Jin Shiyi.

With Cao Xiangui's power, it is impossible for him to control only one part of Jiangzhou's taxes, and half of the eighteen roads of the Southern Han Kingdom are the commanders he appointed, not to mention the officials at the prefecture and county level.

Why they have not been liquidated, either the court has not investigated the case effectively, or they have changed the court, Xie Huchen would rather believe that it is the latter.

At the beginning, he overthrew Cao Xiangui, but also with the help of Chen Jing, the imperial master of the dynasty, and he also led the review of this Cao case, with his attitude of hating Cao Xiangui to the core, it is impossible to have such a big negligence.

So it is only possible that he took over the power left by Cao Xiangui behind his back. Apart from him, no one else in the DPRK has this ability.

Thinking of this, Xie Huchen was secretly afraid in his heart, now it seems that there is a great possibility that Chen Jing is manipulating this matter, and wanting to fight him with his own strength is equivalent to using his mantis arm as a car.

Since the fall of Cao Xiangui, no one can balance Chen Jing, his position in the court is more stable, it can be said that one person is above 10,000 people, and his son Chen Nahai controls the Long Xiangwei of the four guards of the forbidden army, which is even more powerful, and the Chen family has been powerful since then.

With such a high achievement, even if Chen Jing wants to rebel, some people may believe it.

Fortunately, Gui Ming and his father Gui Lizheng took this opportunity to return to Zhongjing and retake charge of the Dragon Guard, and the military power of Teng Long Wei and Hu Xiangwei, which was originally controlled by Cao Xiangui, was also taken back by the Son of Heaven.

But if this dark account system is mastered by Chen Jing, I don't know how much tax money will flow into his purse, which is equivalent to pouring a Cao Xiangui, but Chen Jing is full, and over time, he may not really rebel.

Thinking of this, Xie Huchen unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat, he only hoped that his idea was wrong, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"My lord, someone from Jiangzhou Yamen has come, and Lord Zhuang has summoned the magistrates of each county, saying that he wants to rectify the county affairs of each county. Wang Zhiyuan pushed the door and walked in.

This is Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, Xie Huchen is thinking about what this Zhuang Menglong has to do with Chen Jing. Now is the time to take advantage of this opportunity to meet this Lord Zhizhou for a while.

"Well, you go to Haosheng to entertain the visitor, and tell him that the official will explain the county affairs today, and he can leave tomorrow. Xie Huchen said.

"Yes, my lord, by the way, I remember that you seem to be from Jiangzhou, this trip is just right to go home to visit relatives, you can rest assured, there is me in the county." Wang Zhiyuan said.

"I'm sure I'm relieved to have you. By the way, you go and inform Wang Da and Xiao Er, and let them go on the road with me tomorrow. Xie Huchen said.

"Okay, that subordinate retired first. Wang Zhiyuan replied.

Xie Huchen nodded, and Wang Zhiyuan retreated.

This Zhuang Menglong and Xie Huchen arrived almost at the same time, and the sudden epidemic caused Xie Huchen, as an official under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou, to not officially meet this Shangxian lord.

The one who should come will always come, but I don't know what kind of person this Zhuang Master is, but from the beginning of his tenure, he sent Huang Yibai to inquire about his tone, and judging from his words and deeds when he was sick, this person is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Since that's the case, don't think about it anymore, let's go to Jiangzhou and see you again. Xie Huchen thought to himself.

Compared with this matter, he is more happy now that he can go back to visit his father by the way, second, he can thank Yu Meixue and Baili Yan for their assistance during the epidemic, and third, maybe he can talk to Yu Zhong about this matter and listen to his thoughts.

After all, now that Guiming and Baili Shu are not in Jiangzhou, the only friend he can talk to is only heavy.

"I just don't know if he came back from going out, although he said that he went out to inspect the Yu family's semicolon, but in my opinion, I am afraid it will be difficult for him not to make trouble. Xie Huchen thought so.

How did he know that Yu Zhong had already made a big fuss in Xijing Mansion at this moment, not only fighting with Helan Que, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, but also defeating Helan Ziqing in Rosemary Valley, and leading the Southern Han Iron Cavalry to break the Beining army, which became famous for a while.

Xie Huchen explained the county affairs, and on the second day, he took Wang Da and Wang Xiaoer and set off for Jiangzhou.

"Wow, this is Jiangzhou City. As soon as Wang Xiaoer entered the city, he was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around and admiring.

"Don't be surprised, my lord, our brothers have been staying in Yixian for more than 20 years and have never been anywhere, haha. Wang Da touched his head embarrassedly.

"It's okay, let's go to the post house and settle down in a while, let you two have half a day off, you go around by yourself, and I'll just go home and have a look." Xie Huchen said with a smile.

"My lord, is this really good?" said Wang Da, but his heart was already happy.

"Hey, my lord is originally from Jiangzhou, and this is his land, what are we worried about. Wang Xiaoer said on the side.

"But when you go out for a stroll, remember to change into civilian clothes, after all, this is not Yixian, so it's better to be cautious. Xie Huchen advised.

"Don't worry, my lord, we know the balance, hehe. Wang Da patted his chest and said.

The three of them went to the post house first and put down their luggage.

It is said that Xie Huchen didn't have to live in the post house, but he thought to himself that this trip was here for business after all, and it was better not to leave a solid mouth when he met Zhuang Menglong for the first time.

The Xianyun Thatched Cottage is still so quiet, and the sound of children reading can be heard inside.

Xie Huchen was dressed in civilian clothes, and as soon as he stepped into the cottage, the children saw it.

"Hello, Senior Brother Huchen. The children stood up and saluted.

Although Xie Huchen is much older than them, he is indeed their senior brother in terms of etiquette.

Xie Sanren looked up at him and helped his eyes, which had narrowed into a slit with happiness.

"I said Xiao Er, we are also Lord Xie's subordinates, we can't embarrass him, don't make trouble. Wang Da said as he walked.

"Don't worry, big brother, I still have this point, let's finally come here and bring something back for our father." Wang Xiaoer replied.

The two walked to a very grand shop with a sign that read "Purple Clay Fang".

"It's a magnificent name, let's go, go inside and have a look. Wang Da said.

It turned out to be a store specializing in purple sand products, which was full of all kinds of purple sand products, and the most common was the purple sand pot.

"Big brother, you said let's bring a purple clay pot back for my father to drink tea, how magnificent it is. Wang Xiaoer looked at the dazzling array of purple clay pots, dazzled.

When the shopkeeper saw the customer, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"The two guest officers are particular about people at a glance, this gift, and the pot of our purple mud workshop is the most magnificent, you look at the luster of our pot, like this. Xiao Er said with a smile.

The two brothers were slapped by this sycophant, and immediately felt that they were exquisite people, Wang Daben pretended to understand very well, and picked up a pot with a strange style to play with.

"This big brother is an expert, the pot you are holding is called the dragon head gossip pot, a selected raw ore big red robe, you see that this spout looks like a dragon head, and with this gossip-style lid, it is particularly magnificent. Xiao Er hurriedly said.

Wang Da was praised proudly, so he asked, "How much is this pot?"

"If you want it sincerely, we'll give you this number. The shopkeeper stretched out five fingers and gestured.

"Fifty cents is not expensive. Wang Da said.

"Uncle, don't make fun of me, this pot is five taels of silver. The shopkeeper hurriedly said.

As soon as they heard this, the two brothers were frightened, five taels of silver, which was enough for their whole family to live for a year.

"The two uncles are not ordinary people at first glance, this pot is worthy of your identity, only five taels of silver, this is just for the two of you, and others will buy at least ten taels. The shopkeeper said.

was robbed by the shopkeeper for a while, and the two suddenly felt as if they had taken advantage of it, and they looked down on it if they didn't buy it, and when they came to Jiangzhou this time, they brought five taels of silver with them, and the two brothers had saved it for a long time.

"It's the first time I've come to Jiangzhou, and I've got to bring something good for my father. Wang Da and Wang Xiaoer glanced at each other, and decided to grit their teeth and buy the pot.

As soon as the two brothers were about to pay for it, they heard a female voice like a yellow warbler say: "Two big brothers, if you really buy the pot, you will be fooled." ”

As soon as the shopkeeper heard that someone was ruining his business, he didn't get angry.

"Whose little girl is this, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. The shopkeeper said angrily.

I saw a young girl walking in with a little fragrant pig in her arms, followed by a young man with a sword.

"Two big brothers, are you willing to listen to me. The girl tilted her head and winked mischievously.

"Listen to people's persuasion, eat well, sister, you come and listen. Wang Da said.

The girl walked to the side of the store, picked up a rather ordinary purple clay pot, and said while playing: "There are many doorways in this purple clay pot, and the general store will put the profiteering style in the most conspicuous place, the so-called big red robe, vermilion mud, gold section, there are a lot of fakes, if the eldest brother goes back to give it to the family for personal use, I recommend that the eldest brother buy this style of ordinary, made of purple clay pot." ”
