Jiaohua

Chapter 1283
The official obviously thought of this, and said, "But it has something to do with the spring tax?"

"My lord..." The man's eyes turned red, "My lord, it's related to the spring tax, my lord, help me!"

The principal is funny, he and the assistant officials are both people who depend on others to live their lives, and they are also trembling, so there is no such thing as saving other people's lives.

However, thinking about the spring tax, the life of small farmers in Mingtai County is indeed sad.

Last year, Princess Yangping's incident caused dissatisfaction among all the farmers and merchants in Xizhou. Many big families in Mingtai County quietly transferred their money to Jiangnan.

Fearing that the remaining prominent families would also flee, the imperial court strictly sent people to monitor them.

Those who have no time to escape and those who love their homeland and do not want to escape at all, either choose to seek refuge with the powerful, or stop production and dismiss the handymen.Some people even took back all the rented fields, ignoring the pleas of the tenants, and would rather rot there and be abandoned.

The imperial court is happy to see this group of people who take refuge in the powerful. In a sense, this can be regarded as an alternative affiliation.

However, this group of people took advantage of the power of the powerful to evade taxes and criticize the farmers. Last autumn and winter, the tax in Xucheng, which usually had the most money, was fully half that of other places.So, the pressure is on this spring.

However, the dignitaries that those big families rely on are either the ministers of the government or the military camps stationed everywhere. It is difficult for the local government to extract oil and water from them.Therefore, this heavy tax falls back on those small farmers and small businessmen.

Now these farmers come to Beijing to sue the officials.

Do you want to ask, which official is it?

The head of the capital city thinks it's not very good, knowing too much, it's unfortunate.

However, he couldn't hold back his curiosity, if Ruuo is a senior official who is closely related to their Ministry of Industry.

Although their Ministry of Industry is now all behaving with their tails between their tails, what if some people are driven mad by poverty and deliberately go to the backcountry to show off their power and prestige?
The head of the Capital Office looked at the official, wanting to discuss with him.

The official misunderstood what he meant, thinking that he wanted to ask himself, so he opened his mouth and said, "The officials you want to sue are all the same? Who are you going to sue?"

The master held his forehead and felt a headache.

The man thought he could make decisions for himself, so he immediately said: "My lord, I am different from what they sued. Xiaomin wants to sue Yin Diaorenhui of Jingzhao Mansion! He also wants to sue the master from the northwest!"

"Master Zhi? From the northwest? Who is this?" asked the chief.

"He is a treacherous and evil person, a person who only seeks profit, a complete villain! He colludes with officials and businessmen in Mingtai County and Xizhou Prefecture to win people's hearts! He has been involved in many chambers of commerce in Mingtai County, and he is involved in them. He was honored as a guest of honor! How did many officials and businessmen collude, he is the introducer in the middle!"

"So it sounds like he is rich, powerful, and even more powerful?"

"It is also!!"

"It's weird," the chief officer looked at the official, "How can someone from the northwest enjoy such a good meal in Xizhou Mansion?"

After all, several chambers of commerce in Xizhou Prefecture are notoriously xenophobic.

"My lord," the man cried loudly, "please make the decision for Xiaomin!!"

Call the shots?

The principal sighed in his heart, he still wanted to find someone to make decisions for him!

The closed door suddenly creaked and was pushed open from the outside.

Guo Guan, who was lying on his stomach in front of the case, jumped up in shock and looked towards the door.

Xiao Chuan closed the door, her eyes wide open, staring at Guo Guan.

"...What's the matter?" Guo Guan asked with a frown.

Xiaomao has been with him for so many years, this is the first time Guo Guan saw him panic like this.

But when I think about it, the past few days have been difficult for Xiaomao, and she has become startled like a frightened bird.

After a while, Xiao Yu ran forward: "Sir, something has happened, sir! Those members of the Fang family will be executed tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow?" Guo Guan said.

"The government has put up notices! It's them, everyone with the surname Fang, nearly fifty of them, all of them must die!!"

Although he had already guessed that this would be the end, Guo Guan's face was still as white as paper, and he murmured for a while, "My God."

Xiao Chan walked over staggeringly: "Although Fang Zhenwan hates it, if you really want to kill all these people, sir, the Fang family, the Fang family is almost the same as the Jin family! No, it's worse than the Jin family! Although the family is almost dead, Jin Wu is still alive, and Jin Liu and Jin Qi are very skilled, and they are all by his side to protect him. But once the soldiers of the Fang family who can fight die, Fang Xiyu and Fang Ziqian, the two old guys, will be killed immediately. Useless!"

After being silent for a while, Guo Guan said: "What's the use of telling me these things? We are powerless to do anything, and we will be dragged away like them soon, and then..."

"Sir, how about we run away?" Xiaomao said with bright eyes.

Guo Guan looked at him with a frown, he was a young man after all, his mood and mood were changeable.

Before, he was not afraid of the sky and the earth, let him die, he can be full of courage, regardless of his own body, and die as soon as he says it.

As a result, the heir apparent who was brought by Zheng Bei had been worn down for the past few days, and that sense of despondency came easily.

"Then Zhao Gong," Guo Guan said suddenly, "is there a way to kill him?"

"Huh? Us?"

"Poison, or while he's sleeping..."

"Sir, don't even think about it, it can't be done." Xiao Chen interrupted him.

"Why is there such a shit-stirring stick at this time!" Guo Guan was annoyed.

"Yeah, he obviously doesn't get along with that Ali, we should be on the same boat with him. But, this guy looks down on us Hengxiang people in his bones!"

"Wait!" Guo Guan yelled, "You've hit the point!"

"What, sir?"

"He actually doesn't hate us," Guo Guan lowered his eyebrows, "he just doesn't like us as country bumpkins."

After thinking about it, Guo Guan continued: "If so, how about we find a way to make him change his view of us?"

"Sir, are you going to flatter him?"

The word flattery made Guo Guan feel harsh, and said: "That's the only way. If we can share the same hatred with him, let alone, at least we can use him to leave Dongping Academy."

After speaking, Guo Guan was full of loss and despair.

At the beginning, he insisted on not leaving, and he was unwilling to leave even if he could not be shaken. As a result, everything in the world went as it was, and everything did not go in the direction he thought.

To say that a punch on the cotton is already uncomfortable enough.

But Ali, it's not just Cotton, she doesn't appear in front of him at all, and she doesn't punch, and makes him aimless.

And this Dongping Academy is not the Dongping Academy when Guo Guan came.

At the beginning, the school that was full of vigor and book business is now like dust day by day, and the limelight is all in Lianfeng Academy. Not to mention the young and energetic students, even the husband seems to have lost his fighting spirit.

Everything is wrong.

Seeing Guo Guan's appearance, Xiaochen knew that he had made up his mind. After thinking about it, he said, "Sir, then we can only do what he likes first. Then Mr. Zhao's favorite seems to be... famous calligraphy and painting?"

Guo Guan raised his eyebrows: "Okay, I'll go to Bade Pavilion to flip through the books and take a look at those famous calligraphy and paintings."
