Jiaolong Jue

Chapter 8

When the old man said this, he sighed again and again: "Now, the business really can't go on, so we have to close the door. Some of the younger ones, like the donkey meat seller next door, have all fled with their families and their families. If you don't move, you have to stay here, next to each other."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look out, and whispered in Taibaihe's ear: "It is said that Nadalu Huachi not only pays taxes, but also instructs his officers at night to pretend to be robbers and cast eyeliner during the day. Wealthy family, robbery. Oh! A few days ago, the silk and satin village in Luxitou was looted, and the owner's family was hanged!"

Taibaihe was furious when he heard it, and clasped his fist at the old man: "Old man, I wrongly blamed you, please forgive me! However, today, since I am here, you better sell me some wine!"

Hearing this, the old man had a look of embarrassment, but just looked at the old woman with his eyes.

The old woman got up and said to Taibaihe: "The old man is timid, don't blame him, give me the wine gourd, and I'll call you!"

After a while, the old woman came tremblingly with a jug full of wine.

He handed it to Taibai He and said, "Alas! That's all we have left! We can't make wine, and you really won't be here in the future!"

Tai Baihe took it, couldn't help but took a few sips to his mouth, smacking his lips, then tied it around his waist again, paid the money, and turned to leave.

The old man stopped and said, "You come in from there, just go from there, the door can't be opened!"

The old man kept insisting: "You should leave the city as soon as possible, and don't poop and pee in the city, otherwise, if you are caught by them, you will have to pay the tax until you are drained!"

Taibaihe nodded, came to the front of the courtyard, jumped into the room, turned over and disappeared.

The two old people were left behind, staring blankly at the heights in a daze.

After a while, the old man murmured, "I've known Lao Li for all these years, but I didn't expect him to be an immortal!"

Tai Baihe left the wine shop, but he was not in a hurry to go back, but hid on the roof of a house and drank slowly.

Before he knew it, he drank nearly half of a gourd wine, and he just felt that his eyes were blurred and hard to open, so he lay there and fell asleep.

It was a good night's sleep, only to wake up when it was dark.

Tai Baihe stretched his waist, turned over and went out of the room, next to the wall, urinating.

He had just finished urinating and was shaking his trousers to fasten his belt when someone patted him on the shoulder behind him.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

Taibaihe said while tying his trousers, "What can I do? Pissing!"

The man behind smiled and said, "Hey, you are a real person!"

After all, there were people around him laughing.

Only then did Taibai He turn around, only to see three or four yamen standing behind him, joking at him.

He hurriedly saluted and said with a smile: "Oh, I don't know how many officials, offended, offended!"

After that, he was about to slip away against the wall, and was grabbed by a sergeant, who smiled and said, "Brother, don't rush to leave? You haven't paid your taxes yet!"

Taibaihe pretended not to understand, and stammered: "Masters, don't be kidding, I just urinated, what tax should I pay? You should let me go!"

The officer said, "You're right, what you are asked to pay today is the pee tax! Stop talking nonsense and get the money quickly!"

Taibaihe begged: "Master! Since ancient times, there has been a tax on pooping and peeing? Besides, I just went out for a walk, and I didn't bring any money with me?"

The officer sneered: "Since ancient times, you don't know a lot! Who ever said that you are not allowed to collect taxes when you poop and pee? You catch up this year, even if you are unlucky! If you don't have money, take us home to get it, If you play tricks, I won't peel your skin today!"

Taibaihe agreed again and again, and led a few officers to the most prosperous place in Qingzhou.

Taibaihe pointed to an alley next to him and said, "It's inside, you come in with me to get money!"

Several guards were all happy, and one by one came in.Taibaihe pointed to the side

"arrive!"

When those people turned their heads to look, Tai Baihe had already turned around behind them, pointed out both fingers, and instantly stopped them.

Taibaihe covered their eyes with clothes, stripped them all naked, dragged them to the side of the road, and tied them to the trees with ropes.

After everything was over, Tai Baihe said to several people: "Several uncles, I called them all to see, there is nothing else, just borrow your clothes for use, and they will be delivered to you in a short time, I will not be there. In the distance, if it's too late, just call me, and I'll pay you back!"

After that, he turned around and went straight to Daru Huachi's mansion.

These people were taped acupuncture points, and the night passed, and they did not open them until dawn, their eyes were blindfolded, and they did not know when and where they arrived.

Several people were anxious in their hearts, and when they remembered the explanation of the man, they all shouted.

They shouted louder and louder, "All come!" "All come!"

No one brought the clothes, but the surrounding people and residents called a lot.

A lot of men and women gathered around, seeing them all naked, still shouting "All to see!", all pointing at them and calling them shameless.

There were even those who knew them, resentful in their hearts, and picked up clods, gravel, and some of them dug up mud, and got a few buckets of dung, all of which smashed and splashed on it.

Taibaihe left the guards behind and just walked on the room.

Nearly halfway across Qingzhou, I saw a huge house in front of me. Inside, there were lush flowers and plants, lush trees, rockeries and rocks, surrounded by pavilions and pavilions. The houses were lit up with lights, flickering, and reflected in a wave of clear water. middle.

This is the residence of the newly appointed Dalu Huachi in Qingzhou.

Taibaihe has no interest in the scenery, and only explores where Dalu Huachi hides his belongings.

After peeping for a long time, when he arrived at a place, a strong aroma of cooking vegetables suddenly poured into his nostrils. It turned out that the place where he was standing was a huge kitchen.

Taibaihe pulled a tile off the roof and looked inside. There were people cooking, chopping, and cooking in the house, as well as the maids and servants who came to urge from time to time... People came and went.

He had to endure it, and saw that the dishes were brought out of the pot hot, but there were not many people in the room.

Taibaihe smelled it, but couldn't eat it when he saw it, his heart was like fried in oil, and the saliva from the corner of his mouth was flowing.

Really can't wait, he saw the wood room next door, and he had a solution for a while.

Turning over, at the base of the wall, he took out the fire stick, and lit the pile of thatch and dry wood.

Then, he came to the back window of the kitchen and shouted

"The firewood room is on fire! Hurry up and put out the fire!"

Because the firewood room was next to the kitchen, all the cooks were helping the work, listening to it, and all were afraid, they all left their work, shouted, and carried water and basins to put out the fire.

In a blink of an eye, there was no one in the kitchen.

Taibaihe was overjoyed and was about to turn over and enter the house when he heard the door being pushed open and someone sneaking in.

Taibaihe was discouraged and looked around, only to see a ghostly guy, shrinking his neck and cowardly shoulders, looking around, seeing that there was indeed no one, he couldn't help but be excited.

He said happily: "Haha, a bunch of idiots are gone! I just came to get some delicious dishes to eat! Hehe"

After saying that, while rubbing his hands, he opened the steamer everywhere to visit.

When he saw something good, he reached out and grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth.

Unexpectedly, I made wedding clothes for others, and Taibaihe looked even more annoyed.

He just coughed outside the window and pretended to be an old voice: "The firewood house is on fire, you cooks can't get rid of it! Go to the kitchen and see, is there anyone who hasn't come to put out the fire? If there is, it must be stolen! Kill it!"

After saying that, he pretended to be a young voice and promised again and again, and trotted away.

Tai Baihe looked into the kitchen again, and the man who stole the food shouted "Mum!" and ran away.

Taibaihe sneered, then jumped in from the back window, picked up a fat chicken, a few small dishes, wrapped it in a cage cloth, and carried it out the door. Go back to the roof.

Looking for a corner, I sat cross-legged, drinking and eating while watching the chaotic scenery.

It didn't take long for him to get high again, he yawned, stretched out, and fell asleep against the ridge of the room.

It turned out that these few days were the birthday of a concubine of Dalu Huachi in Qingzhou, so officials from all over the country came to send congratulations one after another.

After Taibaihe found out, he was secretly delighted. After he found out where the treasures of Dalu Huachi were hidden, he would not do anything else. He would just surround the kitchen every day, get some delicious food and drink, and occasionally put a small fire on it. .

Hiding on the roof alone, drinking and eating, while admiring, is so unpleasant.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the third night, and there was still a sing-song of Swallows everywhere, but the terrace in the far west of the back garden was solitary, standing among the trees and flowers, looking very deserted.

The three-story high-rise building has a different appearance. Its doors and windows are all blocked, and there is only one main door. On both sides of the main door are many officers, armed with guns and knives, and three squad leaders patrolling back and forth. strict.

Those class leaders went around again and returned to the door. One of them sat on the ground.

Complaining: "I said, two, what the fuck is this? Anyway, we are also a government official, and we come to do private work for him every day! Private work is fine..."

Having said that, he pointed his finger in front of him and said angrily: "They eat and drink all day long, and they leave us here to drink the northwest wind! What the hell!"

When the other heard it, he couldn't help but mutter: "You're right, brother, our master does nothing but likes to hold birthday parties, his mother's, his uncle's, his wife's, his concubine's... Ten girls sometimes have to do it four or five times a month. The few taels of silver issued by the imperial court are not enough to give his family a birthday! They can still eat a few meals when they have a birthday. Give him a job for nothing!"
