Chapter 5 The landlord's family has no food left!

Master Lu bowed his head and remained silent after hearing Hu Butou's words.It's not that he doesn't want to collect taxes. The imperial court has assigned taxation tasks to each state, and the state has also arranged work for each county. However, Yunju County is special. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Although there are taxation tasks, they cannot be actually implemented. Yunju County The indicator has been hanging up, and the state knows the actual situation, and has no intention of pressing it. It is assumed that a catastrophe has occurred and the loss has been lost.

The state originally wanted to apply upwards to withdraw Yunju County and put Lin County in charge.However, considering that several neighboring county magistrates made excuses for not accepting it, and the state did not want to make matters worse, they did not abolish it, and continued to be managed by Master Lu.

Master Lu pondered for a moment, then looked at Butou Hu and said, "Old Hu, you have to think about it, we will have two and a half people to make it happen or not, and you must bring back the people you brought back safely."

The implication is that Mr. Lu is not optimistic about Butou Hu, but there is no other way, try it, as long as it doesn't kill anyone, it's always okay.Of course, the main thing is to save your own life.

Hu Butou got permission from Mr. Lu, and the next day he took the confident Zhang Wenjin, the decadent Liu Kuaizui, and Li Cheng to the village with a gust of wind.

"What? Are you looking for Zhao Yuanwai from our family? Wait outside the door and wait for me to go in and report."

Hu Butou led people to the gate of Zhao's mansion, the guard couldn't help sneering in his heart after hearing Hu Butou's words, turned around and went in slowly to report.

After half a meal, the doorman came out, smiled and said to Hu Butou: "My lord, my family members have gone out to meet friends in the state, and the butler is at home. If you don't hurry, wait a moment, the butler will finish his work." Come to see you."

As soon as Hu Butou heard it, he knew that Mr. Zhao didn't want to see him, so he said, "It's fine, we'll wait for the big housekeeper inside." After speaking, he lifted his legs and walked into the door.

"Wait!"

As soon as the two guards stretched out their hands to stop Hu Butou, one of them said politely: "My lord, I'm really sorry. The butler said he would come out to see you after he was busy, but he didn't say to let you in. We dare not let anyone in casually." Courtyard, if we lose something and kill someone, we will be punished."

"I'm a catcher, the catcher of the county government." Hu's limbs trembled in anger.

"We know that if someone else would have beaten him away." The guard still pretended to be polite.

Hu Butou wanted to break in, but in a blink of an eye, he saw the patrol team in the house, there were ten people, all of them were Lianjiazi, and when he thought about the three subordinates behind him, he suddenly lost his confidence.The Yunju county government is a joke in the eyes of everyone, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get any advantage from these two guards in terms of kung fu.

Hu Butou and his men stood in front of the gate of Mr. Zhao's house, waiting for the "summoning".After Liu Kuaizui stood for half an hour, he couldn't hold on anymore, so he sat on the ground leaning against the courtyard wall next to the gate.Li Cheng is in good health, so he walks around when he is tired from standing.Zhang Wenjin was young, and when he saw that the guards refused to let him in, he felt very angry, but he could only obey the arrangements with the head catcher Hu around.

Zhang Wenjin stood behind Hu Butou with a dark face, and said to himself, "It's really hard to get a debt!"

Hu Butou and the others arrived in front of the Zhao family's mansion after breakfast in the morning, but the housekeeper still didn't show up at noon, Zhang Wenjin was gurgling non-stop, and the others were not much better.The aroma of food came from the mansion.

"The guard has changed, let's go eat!" At this time, two strong men came out from the door to replace the guard at the door.

"Trouble both of you, go and report again, and say that Butou Hu from Yunju County is here to see the chief housekeeper." Butou Hu said to the guard who was about to enter the courtyard.

"Okay." The two guards lazily agreed and walked in.

After another meal time, a guard came out slowly, looked at Hu Butou, who was listless or standing or squatting at the door like crops that had been scorched by the scorching sun, and said: "Hu Butou, the housekeeper has please."

Hu Butou lost most of his momentum at this time, agreed, and led the people into Zhao's house with the guards.

Rich Lord Zhao is a well-known rich man in Yunju County. He has more than a hundred guards and thugs under his command.

"Hu Butou, I have lost my way, please forgive me." Hu Butou walked into the reception hall, and saw a fat old man from the back of the hall. He was about fifty years old, his face was flushed, and his skin was smooth. Slippery and well maintained.

"Steward Zhao, you kept us waiting!" Hu Butou said dissatisfied.

"Before, I was entangled in some secular world. I don't know what advice Hu Butou can give when he comes in person?" Zhao Butler asked with a smirk.

"Steward Zhao, your Zhao family is the richest man in Yunju County, when will you pay the tax owed to the court?" Catcher Hu asked straightforwardly as he had no time to practice Tai Chi with him.

"Oh, Hu Butou, you also know that although our grandfather is the richest man in our Yunju County, you don't know it. It's hard to earn money in these years of war, and the money earned in the past two years is not enough for the house. For daily expenses, we are also heavily in debt now..." Butler Zhao looked at Butou Hu while complaining.

"Are you in debt? No matter how indebted you are, you are better than us. We can't even eat." Li Kuaizui, who was on the side, couldn't see it, and interjected.

"There are more than 200 people in the house, and they need to eat and drink as soon as they open their eyes, and we can hardly get rid of the pot now!" After finishing speaking, Housekeeper Zhao burped loudly like thunder.

Seeing this, everyone was speechless for a while, Zhao Jiaming just didn't want to pay taxes.

"Everyone, you come to my Zhao's house. We don't have anything to entertain. Come here!" Manager Zhao changed the subject.

A man in his 20s came in at the door, butler Zhao said, "Bring the food."

The young man was taken aback, and looked at Mr. Zhao, who immediately said, "Isn't there a table of food at the back, bring it here."

The young man agreed and withdrew.

Hu Butou secretly said: "It seems that the tax money can't be obtained, and it's good to have a meal, it's not in vain."

After a while, the servants of Zhao's house brought in six dishes, including fish and meat, which were quite rich, but Hu Butou and everyone frowned when they saw it.

"Butler Zhao made a mistake!" Hu Butou looked at the food on the table, then looked at Butler Zhao and asked.

"I'm really sorry, the landlord's house doesn't have any food left these days. This is what we just ate, and we haven't touched a few chopsticks. Now that we've caught up, you can make do with it. The rice is enough!" said the housekeeper Zhao solemnly.

Looking at the ribs with only bones left on the plate on the table, the braised fish with the whole fishbone exposed, and the dishes at the bottom of the plate, Zhang Wenjin felt fooled. He raised his head and saw the butler Zhang Wenjin understood the disdain on the face of the servants of the Zhao family behind him. This was humiliation, humiliation without any cover.

"Fatty Zhao, what the hell do you mean by that?" Catcher Hu couldn't bear it and swears.

"What do you mean, what do you mean by me?" Housekeeper Zhao put away his smile and said sharply.

"You don't want to pay this tax anymore?" Catcher Hu couldn't bear it anymore, he drank and drew out his iron knife, his momentum surged up.

Seeing this, Zhang Wenjin touched the wooden knife with his right hand, and Li Kuaizui and Gufeng Li Cheng felt bad.

"Yes! How are you doing?"

Zhao Daguan saw Hu Tutou with his sword in his hand, clapped his hands, and immediately more than [-] people rushed in from outside the door, armed with knives and guns, and surrounded Hu Tutou and others.

When Zhang Wenjin saw this, his heart was trembling. It was the first time he had seen this formation, and he secretly said: "It seems that the imperial food is not delicious!"

"Steward Zhao, everyone, don't get me wrong, we catcher Hu just wanted to ask, now it's confirmed, it's all right! It's all right! Brothers, you can go down." Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Kuaizui hurried out and faced him. Steward Zhao and the guards rushing in said.

The guards of the Zhao family who rushed in couldn't listen to Liu Kuaizui's words, and still glared at the Hu catchers.

Hu Butou glanced at the guards of the Zhao family surrounding him, snorted coldly, put away the iron knife, and said, "Farewell!"

"No delivery!"

Housekeeper Zhao also snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and the guards got out of the way, Hu Butou led Zhang Wenjin and others out of the Zhao residence.

Back at the Yunju county government office, everyone was downcast and didn't know what to do.
