God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 961 The Death of Mr. Niu

Hu County, county government.

First came the news from Chang'an that the bigwigs of the imperial court were planning to withdraw from Huxian County in order to deal with the taxation bureau of Huxian County.

The entire county government, from the small government servant to Wei Shuyu, the county magistrate, was very nervous.

Wei Shuyu had no choice but to go to Du He, and then according to Du He's arrangement, he first sent a memorial to Chang'an, and after getting the consent of His Majesty Li Er, he directly issued a new decree.

Now, all the merchants who were about to make a move have all died down.

A few days later, the tax bureau sent the latest results.

Wei Shuyu was dumbfounded when he saw that a total of more than 5000 taxes had been collected during this period.

Doesn't this mean that the merchants in Guanghu County pay almost [-] guan in taxes every month, and this is just the beginning. With the development of Hu County, this number will definitely continue to grow.

Wei Shuyu said with emotion: "I just sent a cow to Brother Du, which was only worth ten pennies, but Brother Du created a way to make money for Huxian County. With the Taxation Bureau, in the future, the county government of Huxian County will not Might be running out of money."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and asked, "Have you heard recently that any cattle can't think about it?"

what?
The subordinates were all taken aback.

Wei Shuyu ordered: "Quickly go and ask, if there is any family whose cattle you can't think about, just buy them, and give them to Concubine Du as soon as they are fresh."

"Yes!"

The subordinates were all dumbfounded.

……

At the gate of the county government.

A young master Pian Pian stood at the door, frantically fanning the fan in his hand, and yelled at the guard arrogantly: "Hurry up and report, and say that the eldest grandson of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple has come to pay a visit to Du He, the son-in-law."

After a while, the guard came out and said, "Young master grandson, the son-in-law has been away for a few days and is not in the county government office."

"Do you know where Du He went?" Chang Sun Chong asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

Chang Sun Chong was making fun of himself, a surge of anger was born in his heart for no reason, he raised his fan, and hit the two guards head-on.

Both of them knew the identity of Changsun Chong, not only the young minister of Dali Temple, but also the son-in-law, and the eldest son of Changsun Sikong, so they didn't dare to fight back and could only be beaten passively.

Just when Changsun Wuji was beating the two of them violently, he heard a roar from the side: "Changsun Chong, what are you doing?"

Chang Sun Chong's face suddenly darkened.

In this small Hu county, how dare someone dare to call this young master by his first name?

"Who is it, looking for death?"

He turned his head, ready to pick up the fan and beat it.

I didn't know, but I was stunned when I turned around.

I saw Li Ke, King of Shu, holding a mace and staring at him with a smile.

Li Ke asked: "Do you want to fight with this king? Okay, I don't need a weapon, and I will let you have another hand. Come, let's have a good fight!"

This guy is very excited.

pat.

The fan in Changsun Chong's hand fell to the ground.

What a joke!
Back then, he had also seen the drama of Crazy Primitive Man with his own eyes.

This guy Li Ke, with his bare hands, can press a tiger to the ground and hammer it fiercely, and fight with him, isn't this courting death?
"It's nothing, Your Highness, you misunderstood me, I just made a joke with these two, hey, Your Highness, I haven't seen you in Chang'an recently, I thought you went somewhere, I never thought, you came to Hu County How about I invite you to Yuminglou for a drink? This Yuminglou is a restaurant opened by Changsun's family in Hu County, and the business is good..." Changsun Chong said flatteringly to Li Ke.

Although he didn't want to see Li Ke in his heart, but as a prince, Li Ke had to lower his posture.

Li Ke waved his hand: "It's free to eat. In this world, except for the delicious food made by the teacher himself, and the delicious food from the Food Research Institute, the rest, in my eyes, are no different from pig food... Are you here to find Teacher's?"

Chang Sun Chong nodded: "Your Highness can guess right, I am here to find Du He."

Li Ke shook his head and said, "Then you came at the wrong time. During this time, the teacher is busy growing peppers and has no time to talk to you."

chili?

Changsun's heart skipped a beat.

In fact, the main purpose of his visit to Hu County this time was to inquire about chili peppers.

Unexpectedly, Li Ke took the initiative to speak out.

His eyes lit up, and then he pretended to be calm and asked: "Du He planted peppers, have they grown?"

Li Ke sighed: "It's not so easy to grow this chili pepper. The teacher is also devastated by this matter. Now I live and eat in the farm. It's been more than ten days, and I haven't seen a clue."

"I see……"

Chang Sun Chong murmured, and then bid farewell to Li Ke.

Afterwards, Changsun rushed back to Chang'an on a fast horse in a hurry, and when he returned to Sikong Mansion, he told Changsun Wuji all about it.

After hearing this, Changsun Wuji was silent for a while, and said, "It seems that Du He hasn't planted peppers yet, but he has already started to plant them... You should hurry and invite Mr. Niu here."

This Mr. Niu is an expert in farming invited by the Sikong Mansion.

At the beginning, Changsun Wuji got a chili pepper from Du He, which was made into seeds by Mr. Niu and stored.

This man was not good in appearance, and his height was only five feet. No one would have thought that he would be an expert in farming.

Changsun Wuji asked straight to the point: "Mr. Niu, how are you preserving the chili seeds?"

Mr. Niu replied: "My eldest grandson, the younger one has already dried the seeds and stored them in clay pots. They are well preserved. The temperature has risen recently, so it is time to plant them."

Changsun Wuji then said: "Mr. Niu, I will leave this matter to you. You can find a piece of land in the backyard of Sikong Mansion and plant this seed. It will be planted as soon as possible."

Mr. Niu nodded in agreement, and then left.

Changsun Wuji ordered: "Chong'er, go and assist Mr. Niu. By the way, let him write down the planting and subsequent steps."

"Father, why did you ask him to write it down?" Changsun Wuji asked curiously.

Changsun Wuji asked displeasedly: "Father has his own arrangements, you just have to do it well!"

"Oh!"

……

at dusk.

Changsun Chong came to Changsun Wuji's study room, put a few pieces of paper on the table, and said happily: "Father, according to your instructions, Mr. Niu has written all the planting matters on this, everything is detailed and detailed. Very, also, the pepper seeds have been planted, Mr. Niu said, just need to water some water every day, and the seedlings will grow in ten days at most!"

Changsun Wuji looked at the few pieces of paper, then raised his head, a gleam of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Let's deal with Mr. Niu!"

The eldest grandson widened his eyes and asked, "Father, you mean to kill Mr. Niu? Why?"

Changsun Wuji said coldly: "He knows too many secrets. If we grow peppers before Du He and dedicate them to His Majesty, one day this secret will be leaked, and our Sikong Mansion can't afford to lose this man." !"

Chang Sun Chong nodded, turned and walked out.

That night, Mr. Niu ate a full meal, and before three o'clock, he was poisoned to death.
