Chapter 909 Which Escort
At noon in Zhengyang, the north wind howled.

On the hilly dirt road, more than a dozen escort carts loaded with goods were heading south, with flags fluttering in the wind, and there was a sound of hunting.Dozens of robust men, wearing black padded jackets, were either riding horses or riding cars, looking around with dignified expressions.The old escort Hu Dahai sat on the horse, stroked his beard lightly, looked into the depths of the forest, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Go ahead to dangers.The Pingdu Escort Bureau from Luoyang specially picks places where there are bandits, and the flags are unfurled, full of provocation.

The bandit business is mostly bullying the weak and fearing the hard. There are more than fifty people in the Pingdu Escort Bureau, angry horses and sharp swords.Unless the bandits were so poor that they had nothing to eat, they would usually be able to let the escorts pass by with their flags rolled up.But if you are provoked, this is equivalent to "I will give you a slap in the face if you walk the way of your house." Chen Qun, the leader of the Huanghuagang bandits, was anxious, slammed his wine glass, and shouted: "Fuck him!"

The evil wind in the mountains and forests suddenly blows, the hoofs of the horses are chaotic, and the whistle screams strangely. The bandits on horseback rush to the front, holding simple crossbows.Approaching the escort car, there was a flurry of arrows, and then he went up with a knife, slashing and slashing.

The Pingdu Escort is worthy of being a time-honored brand in Luoyang City. They had been prepared for a long time. When they saw the bandits raising their bows and crossbows, they raised their shields, or quickly hid behind the car. After a burst of arrows, they rushed out collectively and raised their knives. .

For a moment, the sound of weapons colliding resounded through the hills, and the battle was brutal.

Suddenly, a woman in a red coat and veiled hat rushed out of a car. She was as fast as a ghost and shuttled among the gangsters.It is better to have a knife without a knife in the woman's hand. Wherever the fingertips pass, people are turned on their backs and their limbs are broken.In the mountains and forests, a terrible wind suddenly came, and the bandits folded their legs and pillowed their arms. The scene was tragic and indescribable.

"Crap!"

The little bandit leader shouted and ran up the mountain with his men.

The old escort Hu Dahan laughed wildly, planning to cut off the head of the bandit who fell on the ground and send it to the government to receive a reward.But I never thought that the woman in red would not give up and chase the bandits and go to the village.

……

Su Yu told Meng Can the purpose of his trip, and the two talked for a long time.Meng Can said that since there is nothing that must be done on this trip, it is very easy and you can have fun.However, at this time, Su Yu still had three goals in his mind, which belonged to the kind of goal that he could accomplish as soon as he could, and he didn't insist on it if he couldn't.

At this time, Su Yu's working status was very in line with the office atmosphere of Fengzhou Mansion.In the morning, I went to Fuya to order mao, drank good tea, chatted happily, and slipped away at noon.In the afternoon, there were only a few small officials and masters working in the entire government office, and none of the officials could be found.

Unless there are those who come to the official with money to do business, the master and the petty officials will not take them to disturb the official's leisure.

Su Yu has the same virtue as them, and it is even worse.As for the "New Deal", it was dealt with "as usual". First, the list was announced, and then several Taoist soldiers were asked to set up a case at the four gates of Fengzhou City to collect food.

Perhaps it was a problem caused by collecting grain at ordinary times. Even if the "New Deal" invited donations, these government servants would not miss the opportunity to kick the dendrobium.Su Yu remembered all these things in his heart, but he didn't say anything.Just keep ramping up the hype and then let it go and let these guys mess around.Let's see how much these guys can embezzle; what methods they use; and what they plan to do when compensating benevolent donors in the future.Is it really going to be a situation where donations are in vain?

"There is still a way for the imperial court to collect ten carts of food for nothing, without having to go to the countryside to grab it." The household officer Lin Xian said looking at the account book.

"What does Mr. Lin say?" Su Yu asked pretendingly curiously, "Isn't there going to be double tax cuts in the future?"

"Hehe, as officials, of course we must keep our word. Taxes must be exempted. But since their family has surplus food, does this mean that their family has excess labor? If so, there should be a few more people Come to serve corvée. If you don’t want to serve corvée, that’s fine, just pay more taxes. Let them choose by themselves. If they choose to pay taxes, then the money and food don’t have to be recorded, isn’t it ours?”

"Oh, Mr. Lin is brilliant."

Hearing Lin Xian's words, Su Yu felt that the implementation of the "New Deal" was quite difficult.But this is not without a solution, we just have to wait until we return to Beijing.

Su Yu reckoned that Gyeonggi Province's tax reform will be over within two months, and by then the spring will be warm and the flowers will bloom, and he will be able to return to Luoyang.

Although Little Widow Cao is usually pretty, she is impatient when it comes to serious business.Since it is not a fishing-style tax reform, she will not take too long.If you get tens of billions, you will stop.After all, Luoyang is the only super-large city that can use the power of the whole country at this time.If you strike too hard, you may hurt the country.Although tax reform is a good thing in the long run, it won't work if it hurts too much in the short term.

"My brother took me to the mountains to play."

At noon, after drinking with Lin Xian and Shi Huang, Su Yu strolled home with their hands behind their backs, and met Meng Can and the old eunuch Wu Dingyan head-on.

Today Meng Can took apart the ox horn bun, tied two long braids, and dressed like a village girl.

In Su Yu's words, she started acting again.These days, she dresses up differently, and at some point, a brand new Meng Can will appear.

"Don't call me Xianggong, call me Brother Shi? If people listen to it, they want to laugh again."

The old slave Wu Dingyan was a bit dependent on his elders, so he even taught Meng Can a lesson.Of course, the old slave also had good intentions, he was worried that Meng Can would offend King Qin.It seems that the old eunuch doesn't know the fun of the world, Su Yu doesn't blame him, but just let Lao Huang take him to drink.

Lao Huang and Wu Dingyan were about the same age, so they started joking soon. Lao Huang said that Wu Dingyan had a good name.As for the specifics, Su Yu didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it three ways according to Lao Huang's thinking, he suddenly became enlightened and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, brother will take you to play." Su Yu put his hands behind his back and said in a good mood: "However, there are many bandits in Fengzhou area, so we can't run too far, and we can't be too playful."

"Okay, listen to brother." The girl stroked her braids, shyly laughing and coy.

The chariots and horses have been prepared, and five strong Taoist soldiers have been called to accompany them.The Taoist soldiers are very familiar with the surrounding geography, and they know where there are horse bandits.So Su Yu wasn't worried about safety, so he didn't bring Lao Huang and Wu Dingyan with him.

Su Yu, Meng Can, Hu Hui and five Taoist soldiers rode horses.Tong Yu was driving the car, while Bai Zhan was sitting on one side with his sword in his arms.The reason why they drove there was because this group of people was very ambitious and hoped to hunt a wild boar in the mountains.

Lin Cong, the head of the [-]th husband, said with a smile: "Cao Yushi doesn't have to worry at all, he will lead the way with a lowly position. Even if they meet bandits, they will not dare to make mistakes."

Su Yu pretended not to understand: "Oh? Why?"

Lin Cong said proudly: "I have been a husband in Fengzhou for 20 years, and I have dealt with this gang of bandits. And this gang of bandits also has rules, detaining goods for three days and detaining people for seven days. It is inevitable. Qiu did nothing wrong."

Su Yu nodded: "Captain Lin is very good at handling things, so let's get closer in the future. If we can return to the capital to be a high-ranking official in the future, we should have more smart people like Captain Lin by our side."

Upon hearing this, a picture appeared in Lin Cong's mind.Entering Beijing by himself, walking swagger among tall buildings.At that time, even if it is not a high-ranking official with a seal on his waist, he should be a close friend of Mr. Cao.It's no problem to praise Yibo belt, if it's done well, then take three or five beautiful concubines, and live a life of upper class from then on.

While talking, the group had already left the North City Gate, preparing to go to Huanghualing.But as soon as he walked out of the city gate, he saw a large group of people gathered at the gate of the city.Su Yu was riding a horse, looking around, and people were watching a person who fell on the ground.The man suffered severe trauma and his face was covered in blood.A fat official with black hair was squatting beside him, listening to what he said.

Su Yu looked at the official's back, it seemed to be Shi Huang, the state soldier, so he called out, and the man turned his head, and there was a big black face, it really was Shi Huang.

Su Yu raised his voice and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shi Huang walked over from the crowd and told the story.

When Su Yu heard this, he really couldn't laugh or cry.

The one who fell on the ground was a bandit from Huanghuagang. They met a group of bodyguards who didn't roll their flags.Speaking of which, the Escort team is not small, and there are more than a dozen escort vehicles, all of which are fully loaded.For this vote, it is worth doing it.But I didn't expect this group of bodyguards to be extraordinarily fierce, especially a woman in a red dress, she was not alone.

"The third leader took the lead in the vanguard. As a result, a group of people rushed down, and even half of them did not come back. When the big leader assembled and rushed down again, they were ambushed by a woman in red on the way. The woman flew down from the cliff and carried With a hand on Chen Qun's neck, Chen Qun's head moved." Speaking of this, Shi Huang shrugged in disbelief: "I guess this person was frightened and stupid, talking nonsense, there are still people in the world. Such a powerful woman?"

Su Yu smiled, and thought: The bandits failed to rob, and instead ran to the city to report to the officials.This is simply a big joke.But this kind of thing happened in the Liang Dynasty, so I don't think it's too unusual.These bandits were originally taken care of by the officials, but now they have been taken to their lair. If they don't come to the officials, who should they look for?
Su Yu pretended to be surprised and planned to give up hunting, but at this moment Hu Hui came over and asked, "Which bodyguard agency is it?"
