Jiang Nv is indescribable

Chapter 247
Things still have to start with Wu Youde.

When Wu Youde was in office, he felt that it was troublesome to collect taxes, and the yamen was short of manpower, so he agreed to those rich families and big rural households to monopolize the taxes of small households.

Forced by their influence, small households also want to avoid the complicated procedures of paying taxes and extortion by yamen subordinates, so they have to depend on big households.

Those big households are bound to be unwilling to contribute in vain. They take advantage of the monopoly power to turn the collection of taxes and corvees into a great opportunity for them to take advantage of the opportunity to make profits.

Floating income, exploitation, and fish and meat are nothing more than ordinary people, but their appetites are getting bigger and bigger, and they are no longer satisfied with it. Whenever they are recruited, they start to force people to borrow money.Therefore, big businessmen and rich merchants take advantage of the time to make profits, and they can increase their profits tenfold within ten days.

In this way, the top and bottom are working together, dividing the fat and moistening the house, and accumulating daily income, but the people are increasingly trapped by cold and hunger.

This is a set specially designed for poor people, one link after another, once it is caught, it will be difficult to untie it.The villagers soon discovered that they not only had to pay higher taxes, but also had to repay the interest of the wealthy businessmen. The double attack pushed them step by step to the desperate situation of exchanging land and houses, pledging their wives and selling their children. Unbearable smell.

"This Wang Er has monopolized the taxes of five and six villages in the north, headed by Heishi Village. Due to the remoteness of the place, the taxation is more severe than elsewhere. And his subordinates are all thieves. Let these people go to the countryside to collect taxes. Is there any reason not to disturb the local area? Stealing the sheep and humiliating the villagers are too many evil things to enumerate."

Cheng Ping has been a county official for many years, so he knows all these things very well. After discussing with Xiao Yuandu, he directly abolished the right of the township to monopolize taxes, and changed them to be directly collected by the yamen.

Not reconciled to the loss of Wang Er's interests, he wanted to use excuses to make trouble.He gathered a group of ground sticks, intending to pretend to be ordinary people and go to the Yamen to make a fuss, using "public opinion" to coerce Xiao Yuandu to change his mind.

As a result, Cheng Ping preemptively collected evidence of the crime, and Wang Er and other talents entered the city gate, and Sun Sheng was directly arrested and imprisoned.

Jiang Fosang frowned and sighed softly, "There is nothing worse than this."

In the small city of Wuxiong, things happened one after another, which can be described as a pitfall every step of the way.Whenever there is negligence, not to mention benefiting the people, you have to fall into it yourself.

Thanks to helpers like Cheng Ping and Sun Sheng...

"Wang Er and Tang Shi?"

"Mrs. Qian's natal family is distantly related, so it's impossible to tell. However," Xiao Yuandu twitched his mouth, "Tang Dan kept saying that he was related to the governor's mansion. According to his theory, Wang Er is considered a noble relative anyway."

"Then the matter of taking taxes, can it be found that there is a definite connection with Tang?"

Xiao Yuandu shook his head, this old boy Tang Dan didn't know whether he was cautious or lucky, he always escaped him.

Jiang Fosang pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "My husband seems to be wary of Mrs Tang all this time, is it because Mrs Tang and Mrs Tong are related by marriage?"

Xiao Yuandu's meaning was unclear, "If you don't do anything wrong with your heart, you can lie down even if a ghost comes to your door in the middle of the night."

"Actually, I don't blame them for being so worried. This concubine only found out that the husband's master has the title of county magistrate. Who wouldn't be afraid?"

Xiao Yuandu squinted his eyes: "Curse me?"

"How could it be?" Jiang Fosang laughed, "Those rich and powerful families are used to exploiting the people, so it's good to give them some deterrence. Now the folks are saying that on the day of the first day, we must ask Mrs. Zhang's portrait to be posted on the door. Even better than Shen Tu and Yu Lei, they can suppress evil spirits."

Although Xiao Yuandu was a little annoyed at being teased by Jiang Nu, past experience told him that it was best to turn a deaf ear.

Who knows that there is another sentence waiting for him: "Master Husband is not going to inspect the canal, how do you know that my concubine is in Tang's Manor?"

Xiao Yuandu moved his left ear, looked ahead, and said solemnly: "It's just on the way."

Calamus glanced at the female gentleman and chuckled.

Xiao Yuandu frowned, and was about to ask her why the two of them were laughing.

"It's raining!" someone yelled.

Calamus probed to look, sure enough.

Pushing open the window on the other side, he beckoned Chun Rong to come in, but Chun Rong refused.

Jiang Fosang also said to Xiao Yuandu, "I'm still in the outskirts of the city, and there's still some distance to go to the government office, why don't my husband come in the car?"

Xiao Yuandu sneered, "Does this little rain need to be avoided?"

As soon as the voice fell, the rain suddenly increased. Even if the driver speeded up, he couldn't run at the speed of the pouring rain.

Xiao Yuandu and Chun Rong refused to get on the carriage, and they were also drenched in several parts.Suddenly seeing a thatched shed beside the road, Jiang Fosang ordered the driver to stop.

"Let's take shelter from the rain, my lord."

Xiao Yuandu wanted to say no need, but Jiang Nu had already cut and played, and got off the car first and entered the thatched shed.

He muttered a word of trouble in a low voice, and finally stopped his horse.

There were people in the thatched shed.

Two people dressed as Tian Han were arguing over an umbrella, both claiming it was their own, each holding one end and refusing to let go.

Xiao Yuandu felt noisy, turned around and folded his arms and looked at the rain screen in a daze.

But Jiang Fosang listened with great interest, and asked him in a low voice: "Who do you think the umbrella belongs to, Master Husband?"

Xiao Yuandu turned his head and looked at it for a while, then said: "The man in blue."

Seeing that Jiang Fosang was silent, he asked, "Don't believe me? Do you dare to bet with me?"

"Alright."

Xiao Yuandu stepped forward with arms folded, and said to the two people: "There is no need to argue, I can let Zhensan recognize the master."

The two people who were arguing stopped and looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"

Xiao Yuandu nodded, motioning for them to open the umbrella.

The two did as they said, still holding their umbrellas on one side.

Everyone was waiting to see how Xiao Yuandu would make the umbrella recognize the owner, but he suddenly pulled out the knife that he carried with him, and chopped it down, the umbrella instantly split into two.

"If there's anything to argue about, one person and half will be enough."

Both of them were dumbfounded, and Changpu and the others were also dumbfounded.

After regaining their senses, the two Tian Han immediately quarreled and wanted to claim compensation from him.

Xiao Yuandu waved his hand impatiently and ordered people to drive them out.

With such a heavy wind and rain outside, Calamus felt that it was too much to do so, but the strange thing is that the female monarch just watched silently, showing no dissuasion at all.

The two Tian Han were pushed out of the thatched hut and drenched in the shower. Seeing that the other party had a large number of people, they didn't dare to fight against them, so they had to walk away cursing.

After they left, Bu Qu, who pushed them out, chased after them from left to right.

The two Tian Han held up half of the umbrellas each, but they couldn't use them, and they were very embarrassed by the drenching.

Tian Han in black threw the half of the umbrella into the mud after spitting, Tian Han in blue sighed and complained that he met a strong man, but he was reluctant to throw away the half of the umbrella.

The two parts followed and observed for a while, and then shot and captured the two of them.

After Xiao Yuandu asked about the situation, he looked at the black-clothed Tian Han: "My property was destroyed, I was indifferent, and I gave it up as soon as I said it, without any regrets, and dare to say that this umbrella is yours?"

Tian Han had already been informed of Xiao Yuandu's identity, and he lay on the ground shaking like a sieve: "The county magistrate, please forgive me, the villain was confused for a while—"

Xiao Yuandu asked Tian Han in black to pay Tian Han in blue at the price of the new sack, and asked him about the origin of his name and surname, and asked him to go to the government office to get a meal after the rain stopped.

Tian Han in black didn't dare to disobey, Tian Han in blue hurriedly knelt down and thanked him happily.

Jiang Fosang ordered the coachman to fetch an umbrella from the carriage and gave it to him: "Although you will be compensated for what you lost, you will be caught in the rain after all, so it won't delay your way home any longer. You can just take this umbrella and use it."

"Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie..."

Xiao Yuandu raised his eyebrows, in a good mood: "You have lost this bet."

Jiang Fosang blinked: "How does the master know that the concubine won't win the bet?"

"You!" Xiao Yuandu choked, then snorted softly, turned his back, as if he didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Jiang Fosang vaguely heard a cunning sentence.

"What are you laughing at?" Chun Rong asked.

"I laugh." Jiang Fosang glanced at the rainy and windy scene outside, "Winter is coming."
