At this moment, a disciple came to report and said:

"There was a merchant lady who refused to pay taxes at the ferry, and she also beat up several Maitreya disciples!"

After listening to this, Du Buyi and Li Yu immediately rushed over.

When the two of them came to the ferry, a woman was fighting with several Maitreya disciples, and this woman was none other than Murong Wan'er.

Du did not forget to shout at the fighters:

"Stop!"

The men stopped.

Murong Wan'er first asked Du Yiyi:

"Brother Du, why are you here?"

Du did not forget to walk into the field and hugged Wan'er, saying:

"Wan'er, you haven't left yet!"

Wan'er pushed Du Cheng away, pointed to the sect members on the side, and said:

"I didn't expect these people to really do evil, and they dared to blackmail Miss Ben. ”

Then he glanced at Du and said:

"Brother Du, are you in the same group as these people?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Yes, they are all my disciples!"

asked Wan'er about the situation just now, and only then did she know that Murong Wan'er, a merchant ship, was going to transport goods back to Suzhou from Beijing, but she didn't expect to be stopped by the disciples in her sect and wanted to collect taxes.

Seeing this, Murong Wan'er naturally got angry, so she directly started fighting with these disciples.

Du did not forget to apologize to Wan'er, but Wan'er was still angry.

On the side, Li Yu saw that the deputy sect leader Du did not forget that he seemed familiar with this woman, so he also came over and said:

"It turned out to be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Then he said to the disciples:

"In the future, as long as the merchant ships under the name of the Murong family pass through the Grand Canal, they will not be allowed to collect taxes, and they will be treated with more courtesy!"

Some of these disciples were naturally not convinced when they were beaten, and seeing that the helmsman and the deputy sect leader were here, it was not easy to argue more, so they said:

"Got it!"

Then they all withdrew.

Du Buyi appeased Wan'er again, and Wan'er held her breath, but she didn't expect Wan'er to make a request to let Du Buyi accompany her back to Suzhou.

Du didn't forget to think about it for a while, after all, there is nothing to do here now, so let's go back to Suzhou to see the situation in the house over there, so I agreed to Wan'er.

Then after saying goodbye to Li Yu, he packed his luggage and accompanied Wan'er all the way to the south.

A few days later, the two of them arrived in Cangzhou, but they didn't expect that several ships suddenly appeared at this time to block the merchant ship Du Buyi and Wan'er, only to see a middle-aged man come out of it, shouting at several people's ships:

"The river here is under the jurisdiction of our salt gang, if you want to go over, you have to pay taxes!"

Murong Wan'er rushed over and drank to the middle-aged man:

"Who are you who dare to collect Miss Ben's taxes?"

The middle-aged man said:

"This master wishes Qingmang, the young master of the Salt Gang, little girl, you are really bold, dare to be so disrespectful to your grandfather!"

Murong Wan'er smiled and said:

"Who am I, it turned out to be Zhu Jiangnan's unsuccessful son, no wonder he would come to this canal to do such a scoundrel!"

Zhu Qingmang was a little angry, and said directly to the surrounding ships:

"Don't let any of them go for me today!"

Then he and the other ships on the side of the subordinates drew their knives and approached Murong Wan'er's ship.

After getting closer, Zhu Qingmang jumped up directly, jumped in front of Murong Wan'er, and slashed at Wan'er with a knife.

On the side, Du Yi couldn't bear it, so he directly pulled out the Tai'a sword and blocked it hard, but the big knife in Zhu Qingmang's hand was directly broken.

When Zhu Qingmang saw this, he was shocked, and immediately angrily stabbed at Du Forgetfulness with the broken knife, Du Forgetfulness gently dodged and kicked Zhu Qingmang directly into the river.

Seeing this, these people who were about to swing a knife to help Zhu Qingmang saw this, and they were frightened by Du Yi's kung fu, and they didn't dare to fight again, so they quickly rescued Zhu Qingmang, rowed the boat and fled.

Wan'er looked at Du at this time and didn't forget to say:

"Brother Du, I didn't expect your martial arts to improve again!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"It's fine!"

Wan'er smiled and said:

"Brother Du, it seems that I am right for you to accompany me back to Suzhou, just enough to protect me!"

Du did not forget to say with a smile:

"Isn't it Wan'er, do you use me as your umbrella now?"

Wan'er replied:

"Isn't that what you men should be, and besides, I'm your woman!"

Du didn't forget to reply:

"Yes, it's really wrong for me to be drunk, but some people have a heart!"

When Wan'er heard this, she was a little angry and deliberately stepped on Du Yiyi, and went back to the cabin.

Du Buyi saw that Wan'er was angry, so he smiled and followed.

After the boat traveled to the vicinity of Cangzhou County, the boat began to stop to rest, and Du Buyi and Wan'er went ashore to a restaurant in the city to eat.

was eating, and suddenly a group of officers and soldiers came in, and then surrounded the table of Du Buyi and Wan'er.

Directly the head catcher led by one of them asked Murong Wan'er:

"Little girl, are you the merchant who refuses to pay taxes in the canal?"

Murong Wan'er couldn't help but feel a little flustered when she saw so many officers and soldiers coming around, so she stood up and slapped the table vigorously and said boldly:

"Even if Aunt Ben doesn't pay taxes, what can you do to Aunt and Grandma?"

Seeing this, Du did not forget to signal Wan'er to be calm and not impatient, and Wan'er seemed to understand, so she sat back.

At this time, I only heard the head catcher say:

"In that case, then little girl, let's go to the yamen!"

Wan'er glanced at Du Yiyi, and when she saw him nodding, she said to the head catcher:

"Okay, whoever is afraid of whom, don't you go to the yamen, Aunt Ben is not afraid!"

Then together with Du Yiyi, he followed these officers and soldiers to the Zhixian Yamen.

At this time, the yamen began to beat the wooden sticks and build the hall.

After a while, the county magistrate walked into the hall, sat down, glanced at Murong Wan'er and Du Cheng behind him, and shouted:

"Since you are sinners, why don't you kneel?"

Wan'er replied loudly:

"What have we committed, and what are we sinners?

The county magistrate said:

"Isn't it a sinner to refuse to pay taxes and break the law?"

At this time, Zhu Qingmang walked in, and then took a note and handed it to the county order.

At this time, the county magistrate looked at the note, and said to the hall with a smile on his face:

"Why don't you hurry up and arrange a chair for Zhu Gongzi to sit down!"

At this time, someone immediately moved a chair and came over to sit down for Zhu Qingmang.

I only listened to the county order and shouted to Murong Wan'er at this time:

"Murong Wan'er, this county order warns you one last time, whether you kneel or not!"

Murong Wan'er replied with her hands in her waist:

"Aunt Ben doesn't know what kneeling is, please let me show you to my aunt and grandmother first!"

The county magistrate was furious at this time, and then said to the officials below:

"Hurry up and put this on the ground for me!"

These officials hurriedly came over and prepared to escort Wan'er, but they were blocked by Du Yiyi.

Directly Du did not forget to say to this group of officials:

"Don't you want my wife to kneel, then it depends on whether you are qualified enough!"

After listening to the county order, he drank to Du Yiyi:

"Where is the boy, dare to come to the court to make trouble?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Have you heard that Tanhualang needs to kneel for the magistrate?"

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment and asked:

"What ...... are you talking about?" Tanhualang......?"

Du did not forget to smile and said:

"I have a clear order from Emperor Taizu, and the Jinshi Kesheng does not need to kneel with anyone except His Majesty the Emperor!"

The county magistrate hurriedly asked again:

"Then I don't know which Tanhualang you are this son?"

Du did not forget to reply with a few words:

"Zhengde sixteen years of the top three Tanhua Lang Du do not forget!"

After listening to the county order, his expression instantly became nervous.

On the side, Zhu Qingmang said to the county order:

"Who knows if this fake is true or not? Even if it's true, what can it be, as the saying goes, can a strong dragon crush the head snake?"

After listening to the county order, he immediately calmed down, and then asked Du Buxing, what basis do you have to say that you are the former Tanhualang Du Bufu?

Du did not forget to reply:

"Believe it or not, anyway, you don't want to bully my wife Murong Wan'er today!"

The prefectural commander hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Then since you say that you are Du Tanhua, can you live in our county government with your wife for two days, and wait for the official to find out your identity and whether your wife has not paid taxes and make a decision?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Yes, but Ben Tanhua and his wife don't live in a low house!"

The county order replied:

"Of course, how dare this official snub the two of them!"

At this time, Zhu Qingmang on the side saw this, so he got up angrily, kicked off the chair, and said to the county order:

"Lord Prefectural, what do you want to do at this time?"

The county magistrate hurriedly said to Zhu Qingmang:

"I wish Gongzi a little peace and don't be impatient, two days later, when the county order finds out the truth, I will definitely wish Gongzi justice!"

Zhu Qingmang saw this, so he left angrily.

Du did not forget to be brought into an elegant courtyard in the backyard of the yamen by the county order with Wan'er.

The county magistrate said to Du Yifu and Wan'er:

"The two of you live here, and the county will not lack you for two days, but the official reminds you that if you create a famine, the official will have to act according to the law. ”

And then left.

Du Bu and Wan'er entered a room in the middle of the courtyard, and at this time, a maid had already packed up the room and was ready to go out.

Wan'er pulled the maid and asked:

"Are your quilt sheets new?"

The maid replied:

"Freshly cleaned!"

婉儿 says:

"Then you change it for us, Miss Ben wants a new one, I can't use these people who have slept with me!"

The maid replied:

"Then you'll have to ask our lord for instructions!"

Wan'er went into the room and looked at it again, and when she came out, she said to the maid:

"If you go out and buy me some rouge gouache, it must be the best, and the wine and food must be prepared immediately, we are hungry!"

After listening to this, the maid said:

"Then I'll go ask the master!"

And he left.

Du Bu did not forget and asked Wan'er:

"Since we live here, there is no need for this, this is just a small county town, since the county magistrate let us live here, forget it!"

Wan'er replied:

"You can't just forget it, who told this magistrate to treat me like that in the court just now, and I don't like to use those things that others have used!"

Du Cheng said:

"I'm afraid that what you ask for, this magistrate may not be able to meet you!"

Wan'er said:

"You Tanhualang, you came to live here to give this county order enough face, how dare he snub us?"

Du did not forget to smile and said:

"I'm just an outdated Tanhua, but all other fame has been stripped away, and now only the false title of Tanhua is left!"

Wan'er said:

"Isn't it enough to have the title of Tanhua?

Then he asked:

"Why did you say that I was your wife just now? I didn't marry you, you are going to ruin my reputation as Murong Wan'er in the future, so how can I marry in the future!"

Du Cheng Cheng said:

"You are all my woman, have you forgotten our skin-to-skin relationship, even if you remarry in the future, others may not be able to look at it?"

Wan'er replied:

"That's hard to say, after all, I have money in my family, where can I find a good son-in-law who rides the dragon!"

Du did not forget to say:

"Whatever you want, I don't deserve you anyway!"

Wan'er laughed at this time and said:

"You're pretty self-aware, but I like you like that!"
