Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

"You Yanties, are you so casual? You are the only one here, what about the others?"

Ma Zhou, as the censor, had to show his majesty on such occasions, and his serious look still shocked the other party.

The man saw that Ma Zhou was wearing a green official uniform, which was the clothing of officials of the sixth and seventh ranks. As for the fish charms and fish bags of the Tang Dynasty, they could only be owned by officials of the fifth rank and above. Next, Ma Zhou also hopes to have a fish talisman, but unfortunately the level is not enough.

The highest official of the Yantie Division was also lowered from the seventh rank, and the other officials were completely out of line, and they were not enough in front of Ma Zhou.

The man finally came to his senses and stood up tremblingly, wondering where they came from.

"Where are the rest of Yantie Division?" Li Yian asked first.

"None of them... have come, and I'm just left here to watch the value." The man said with a trembling voice.

Most of the salt and iron are controlled by Wu Xing Qiwang, and the Yan and Iron Division is almost useless. The salt and iron tax cannot be collected at all, and no one dares to ask Wu Xing Qiwang to collect it. Even the officials of the Yantie Division have many aristocratic families. people.

In addition, the old salt and iron envoy was withdrawn by Li Shimin, and the new salt and iron envoy Li Yi'an had just arrived. During this gap period, the temporary deputy envoy still hadn't let himself go.

"what!"

Ma Zhou said angrily: "As an official of the imperial court, if you don't want to come, you won't come. They still have the imperial court in their eyes? Or do they regard Yanties as your family? When I go back to Yushitai, I will definitely play and punish them severely. "

Yushitai!

The man looked at Ma Zhou, and his body trembled even more. It was a supervisory agency, equivalent to the discipline inspection department of later generations, and was targeted by the censor. Little officials like them would end badly.

"Can you call everyone back?"

Li Yi'an said in a deep voice: "I am the new Yantie envoy. I am here for the first time today. Even the rest of you can't see it. Finally, I have seen how chaotic the Yantie department is."

The man could only bow and bow, shook his head and said: "I don't know where they went. Most of those people are from aristocratic families. Only I was recommended by the aristocratic family. I really don't know anything."

Sure enough, it was a group of people from aristocratic families, who came to such a place with plenty of oil and water, but they were just eating and waiting to die.

"Too presumptuous!"

Ma Zhou said angrily.

"Forget it, let's go back first."

Li Yian shook his head.

Now he doesn't even know where he is, and it's useless to get angry. He's coming this time, and he's mentally prepared for it. He expects that Yan Tiessi may be very miserable, and it's acceptable for him.

As for how to deal with the deputy envoy and others, Li Yi'an will deal with it separately after he takes office.

Seeing the two of them leave, the man heaved a sigh of relief, as long as he was fine, but he had a feeling in his heart that Yan Tiessi might have a major change.

"Sir, Ma Yushi!"

They just passed by the office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and happened to see Pei Ju coming out of it, and said with a smile, "Sir, are you going to serve as an envoy?"

"That's right, but I'm also too disappointed in Yan Teishi."

Li Yi'an said helplessly: "There is only one person on duty in such a big Yantie department that handles official business, and everyone else has gone to somewhere, and the corpse is a vegetarian meal. It's no wonder that the treasury has no money."

"Is there such a thing?"

Pei Ju frowned.

The Department of Salt and Iron is managed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and it is also a department that collects salt and iron taxes. Although it has enough oil and water, its status is not high. Pei Ju, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, usually seldom interferes with internal affairs.

"We saw it with our own eyes. If you don't believe me, Mr. Pei, you can go and have a look."

Li Yi'an continued: "But after I take office, I will definitely make great efforts to rectify it."

Pei Ju said angrily: "It's a mere salt and iron department, so courageous, I will definitely investigate first."

After finishing speaking, he said goodbye to Li Yi'an first, and strode towards Yantiesi.

Even though Pei Ju was Li Yi'an's immediate boss, he had no intention of following him back, and walked out of the palace gate directly.

"Sir, are you temporarily staying in Chang'an today?"

Ma Zhou asked.

"I'll come back tomorrow."

When Li Yi'an went back to Wannian County, there were still some things to prepare.

After saying goodbye to Ma Zhou, he left Chang'an first.

"Brother!"

Seeing him coming back, Wanshun quickly ran over and hugged his thigh.

"Let's go, bro, I'll make you a cream cake."

Li Yi'an smiled and teased her little nose.

"it is good!"

Wanshun immediately cheered.

She ate the cream cake when she first met Li Yi'an, it was really delicious, and she can't forget it till now.

"Sir, I feel something is wrong today."

Yu Wenyan came over and said, "I saw several people wandering around us and never left, as if they were watching something."

"Walking around, spying on us?"

Li Yi'an stopped what he was doing, calculated for a while, and suddenly said with a smile: "Yan'er, it's time for you to repay your favor tonight."

Yu Wenyan excitedly said: "Those people want to deal with us?"

Li Yi'an nodded and said: "You can say that, but you have to pay attention to me, you must obey my orders, otherwise I will never ask you to repay your kindness, just go back where you came from."

Yu Wenyan nodded cheerfully and said: "Of course, please rest assured, sir, I am the most obedient."

"I've been idle for so long, and finally I can do it again!"

After finishing speaking, she ran back quickly, took out the epee that she had put away for a long time, and wiped it clean. This girl is still a militant.

"Brother, are you in danger?"

Wan Shun nervously took Li Yi'an's hand.

"of course not!"

There was still some cream in Li Yi'an's hand, and it touched her little nose lightly.

"Ah, brother, you are bad!"

Wanshun put aside the worries just now, and said cheerfully: "I want it too, I want it too."

Then she used her small hands to spread the cream on Li Yi'an's cheeks, everywhere, playing so happily that she couldn't tell.

Soon, it will be night.

Not far from Li Yi'an's factory, a group of men in black came.

There is also a carriage, parked in the distance, looking towards the factory with lights on.

"Brother Xiu Ran, why do we have to take action at the same time for such a trivial matter? I am more interested in how to kill Li Yi'an."

The person who spoke was Cui Mao's second son, Cui Tianhua's own younger brother, named Cui Tianming, he said coldly: "Sooner or later, I will take his head and pay homage to my elder brother."

"It is said that this person is not weak, and Li Erlang is still behind him. Before we are sure enough, we can't kill him, so we have to be careful."

Lu Xiuran smiled lightly and said: "However, if he dares to be an enemy of our two families, he is doomed. When the opportunity comes, even if Li Erlang comes in person, he will not be able to save him."

Cui Tianming snorted coldly, "I'm going to kill him with my own hands!"

"It's almost time, let's get ready."

Lu Xiuran's voice became colder and colder.

Afterwards, those men in black walked towards the factory and quickly disappeared into the night.
