The place where He Jiangyue said was convenient to speak, not to Chen Ao's expectation, was a tavern!

Sure enough, the dog can't change eating. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Chen Ao thought to himself, and followed He Jiangyue into this low and dilapidated tavern.

However, in this kind of place, people like Lu Degui and Pei Shikong really disdain to come, let alone people like Liang Sizhi. Therefore, it is indeed a convenient place to speak.

It's morning, everyone is doing their work, and there's no one in the tavern. The shopkeeper brought a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts to the two of them, and then went back to the kitchen.

Obviously, He Jiangyue is already a frequent visitor here.

Chen Ao watched He Jiangyue pour two glasses of wine, but never spoke. He was angry in his heart, thinking that this person might be a master who was hidden and used wine to kill his sorrows. Who knows that the first thing a master does is to ask himself to drink with him.

Chen Ao was a little disappointed. He Jiangyue was full of smiles, as if he had guessed what Chen Ao was thinking, and he didn't serve his wine glass, but said: "Humble and considerable, the adults should come to me today, so I will wait for the adults on the street early!"

Chen Ao was stunned: "You know I'm coming to you?"

He Jiangyue did not have a beard, but he looked very old. He smiled slightly and said, "On the first day of your lordship in the city, you will interrogate the cow bones in front of the Wu family. I've been telling the news for a long time. Later, I heard that the adults were personally entertained by the eldest prince of Liang, and yesterday he exerted his authority in the public court to solve the dispute between the people in one fell swoop. All kinds of deeds, in this tavern, have become more and more divine. ”

"When I heard about these things, I knew that adults are not mediocre and inactive. Since adults want to do something, they must reorganize their subordinates. Since you want to rectify your subordinates, you must make an example of chickens and monkeys. So, I guessed that the adults were coming for my chicken!"

Chen Ao was slightly stunned, he couldn't imagine that this drunkard had even guessed his thoughts. In this way, Chen Ao didn't dare to underestimate this person. Maybe this He Jiangyue is really a prodigal master!

He Jiangyue said again: "But looking at the adult's expression now, it seems that he doesn't want to cut me again, right?"

Chen Ao waited for him to put his foot in the score, and couldn't help but scold: "Yes or not! Since you have already guessed my thoughts, then hurry up and give me back to work! Otherwise, I will fire you squid!"

He Jiangyue was stunned for a moment, completely unaware that Chen Ao not only had a dirty mouth, but also did not have the euphemism and twists of the literati at all. According to the tradition since ancient times, Chen Ao should be humble first, but like a thatched house, he asked himself to go out of the mountain to assist.

How did he know that what was sitting in front of him was a fake county magistrate who received modern education?

Chen Ao looked at the dilapidated tavern and frowned: "You don't go to work every day, so you soak in this kind of place? Okay, okay, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you! You guess my mind, I can guess your mind." People like you, I've watched a lot on TV, pretending to be confused, but they're actually smarter than anyone else. You are nothing more than dissatisfied with the status quo and powerless to change it, and you want to escape from reality! This kind of psychology of yours is called the ostrich mentality. Come on, tell me what you don't like to see?"

Master Chen changed into Dr. Chen in the Department of Psychology again. He Jiangyue didn't expect Chen Ao to be so straightforward, and the rhetoric he had prepared was now completely useless.

He coughed in embarrassment, and had to reorganize his language: "My lord, do you know, who is the biggest in this Liang City?"

"Needless to say, of course it's me!"

He Jiangyue smiled and shook his head: "It's the Liang Mansion!" Without waiting for Chen Ao to speak, he said again: "The Liang Mansion is in Liang City, it can be said that it covers the sky with one hand!"

Chen Ao was slightly stunned, and secretly thought, this old boy really can't get along with the surnamed Liang, just right! Chen Ao thought to himself, but his face was silent, and asked, "Oh?

He Jiangyue said: "The Liang family has been in the local area for two generations. The previous generation of masters, Liang Guangde, is now traveling all over the world, and is not in Liangcheng, and the Liang Mansion is taken care of by his eldest son Liang Sizhi. In addition, Liang Sizhi also has two brothers and a sister-in-law, who are also in Liang's mansion. ”

Chen Ao had already understood these situations, and he did not pay attention to them.

He Jiangyue saw that Chen Ao was impatient, and hurriedly said: "The Liang family is a martial arts family, and when they first came to Liangcheng, they brought a group of martial arts figures. At first, under the pretext of protecting the people from the bandits, they collected money from everyone, called security money!"

Chen Ao was stunned for a moment, isn't this the underworld collecting protection money?

"At first, many people were reluctant to pay, and the Liang family was not reluctant. Who knew that later, there were really bandits coming, and the officers of the county government were all wine bags and rice bags, and they didn't dare to resist. The bandits rushed straight into the city and began to plunder. The homes of those who did not pay for security were ransacked. And those who were protected by the Liang Mansion really had no loss. ”

Chen Ao snorted coldly: "Where is the thief, it is clearly the people of the Liang Mansion who are making trouble!"

He Jiangyue nodded again and again: "Who said it wasn't! But those who understand this truth are all a minority." Since then, every family in Liangcheng has to pay silver money to the Liang Mansion on a regular basis. By now, the Liang Mansion could already replace the county government and collect taxes from the people! Not only that, but the Liang Mansion also used the collected silver to forcibly buy shares in various large shops in Liangcheng. Those who are unwilling to cooperate will inevitably be harassed by ruffians and hooligans every day, and they will not even be able to do business. Slowly, the shops of all sizes in Liangcheng must be controlled by the Liang Mansion, and the profits earned must also be shared with the Liang Mansion. ”

Chen Ao sneered: "Hmph, if you make money, his surname Liang will be divided into thirty percent, and his heart can be really black enough!"

"It's not thirty percent!" He Jiangyue shook his head and said, "It's seventy percent! Liang Mansion is seventy percent!"

Chen Ao was dumbfounded, this surnamed Liang doesn't have to pay for it, and he doesn't have to do any work, he has to share seventy percent of the profits, this is simply a clear robbery!

"Isn't there anyone who opposes it? If everyone unites, won't they be able to fight the Liang Mansion?"

"Alas!" He Jiangyue sighed, "At first, there were indeed a few hard bones who stood up against Liang Guangde. But soon after, the families were destroyed. First, the business went bankrupt, and then his wife and daughter were abducted by masked men and raped to death. Two years ago, there was a big cloth village, because it was unwilling to partner with the Liang Mansion, and as a result, a few ruffians sat in front of the store every day to drink tea. These people are fierce and vicious, where are there any customers who dare to enter the store? A good rich merchant has been rectified and ruined. At this time, the wealthy businessman's two daughters who married outside the husband's family actually came with news at the same time that even his daughter was seducing a man outside, and the family had been immersed in a pig cage. Everyone would have thought that this must be a trick played by the Liang Mansion. The old rich merchant was so angry that he fell ill and died soon after. In this way, who would dare to disobey the will of the Liang Mansion?"

"Doesn't the government care?" Chen Ao was so angry that his scalp was numb, and his hands had been clenched into fists at some point, and his fists were clenched tightly with great anger, and his whole body began to tremble.

He Jiangyue sneered: "The county lieutenant of the county government is the head of the guard of the Liang Mansion. The county order is even more in league with the Liang family. You say that the government doesn't care? And I heard that Liang Guangde also has someone to support him in the palace. As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good officials. The Liang family doesn't like to be officials, but they like to make money. Now Liang Sizhi has also taken down the mines outside the city, and transferred the exiled prisoners of the county prison department to mine for him. These rockeries are transported to the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains, and they are worth more than a thousand gold? Liang Sizhi is doing a business without any profits!"

Chen Ao's fist slammed down on the table. The glass of wine was shocked by him, and it suddenly turned over, and the wine was scattered all over the ground.

He Jiangyue observed his words and sighed lightly: "I heard that Liang Sizhi worshiped under the Juntian Sword Sect in his early years and was the apprentice of the head of the Juntian Sword Sect. The Liang family is black and white! Such a big force is pressing on the heads of the people of Liangcheng, and the people can only let them fish and meat, and there are words of suffering!"
