Chapter 605 Acting Bravely
Although the Jinyiwei of the Yuan Dynasty was not as arrogant as those of the Ming Dynasty, they were definitely stronger than the yamen runners.

When Zhao Yurui first established the Jinyiwei in the Song Dynasty, the Jinyiwei was mainly responsible for taxation and supervising the performance of local officials.

Later, when Zhao Yi came to power, he felt that the Jinyiwei had too much power and had the responsibility to supervise local officials, so he abolished the power of the Jinyiwei.

Then the Jinyiwei were asked to handle cases, and the yamen were responsible for taxation. They went back to the old ways and assigned some of the hard work to the Jinyiwei.

The Jinyiwei now only has the power to handle cases, doing the hardest and most tiring work, but in the eyes of the yamen, the power to handle cases is still not something that can be easily messed with.

When the three yamen runners saw the Jinyiwei coming, they spoke hesitantly and stammered, and roughly meant that your KTV is so popular, you need to re-register the tax.

"Who is responsible for taxation in the government office?" Zhao Yurui asked directly.

One of them hesitated for a moment, then said, "If Zhaotou knows someone, it would be best if he could inform our Zhong Dian Lizhi."

It is obvious that it was Zhong Ping who did it.

"Okay, come back in a few days." Zhao Yurui said.

The other party understood and immediately said, "Okay, we'll come back in three days."

Zhao Yurui is given three days to deal with Zhong Dianli.

Zhao Yurui immediately began to study the Dinghai County Government.

He restructured the Dayuan County Government Office. In addition to the original six rooms, there were other tax rooms, totaling nine rooms.

Commercial taxes go to the tax office.

The clerk Zhong’s real name is Zhong Dahai, and he is not from the tax office at all.

However, they were familiar with the government office, so they asked Hu Dianli from the tax office for help.

"Give me - one thousand yuan." Zhao Yurui thought about it, asked Sister Meihua for one thousand yuan, and then went to the street to buy two bottles of wine and two packs of cigarettes.

Soon someone from Zhang Jiusi helped him find Hu Dianli's home.

The county government does not provide lunch now, so they either go home to eat at noon or eat at their subordinates' table.

Zhao Yurui brought Zhang Jiusi and two of his men and arrived at the door of Hu Dianli's house around noon and waited.

It was still relatively ripe in August, and after standing outside under the big tree for a while, Zhao Yurui was already sweating profusely.

Damn it, I was an emperor in my previous life, but I didn’t expect to have to ask others for favors everywhere in this life.

Zhao Yurui smiled bitterly, but fortunately he was able to adapt.

When people are in a new environment, they must adapt to it.

The emperor is a thing of the past. If you want to be an emperor again, you have to be timid in the early stages.

He was thinking about something thoughtfully.

Suddenly, in front, there was a creak, and the Hu family’s door opened.

Zhao and Rui looked carefully and saw two young ladies go out one after another.

The one in front was about eighteen years old, with delicate features. Although she wasn't particularly pretty, she was pretty attractive.

She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and judging by her clothes, she looked like a maid.

The two girls walked down the street holding umbrellas to avoid the sun.

Is this Hu Dianli’s daughter?

Zhao Yurui rolled his eyes and looked back at Zhang Jiusi's two men.

"What are your names?"

The tall one on the left said, "Head Zhao, my name is Zhang Youcheng."

This Zhang Youcheng was Zhang Shicheng's nephew and had just turned eighteen years old.

The one on the right is Liu Yi, who was also a general of Zhang Shicheng in history.

"Come here, both of you." Zhao Yurui bowed his head and said a few words to the two of them, and they nodded continuously.

On the other side, Hu Pian'er was taking the little girl He'er to the street.

It's been hot recently and Hu Pian'er didn't want to go out, but she was really bored at home. She was going to college after the semester started, so she wanted to go out and buy some college books to read first.

The two first went to a nearby bookstore and bought a few books.

Then I prepared to go home.

Just walked out of the bookstore.

Boom! Someone bumped into He'er from behind.

Oh! He'er fell heavily to the ground, and Hu Pian'er quickly squatted down to help her.

Unexpectedly, He'er touched her waist and said, "Money bag, thief."

Hu Pian'er looked up in horror and saw a man running forward desperately.

"Don't run, thief." Hu Pian'er was very anxious.

Get up quickly and chase after him.

She was a weak woman and was not afraid of the man because she often ran at school.

"Miss, don't chase me." He'er hurriedly followed.

The two women couldn't catch up with the man, and saw him limping and getting farther and farther away from them.

Hu Pian'er chased and shouted all the way, but passers-by all looked confused and no one helped them stop the car.

Are people in this world so cold and indifferent? Hu Pian'er couldn't help but get secretly angry.

It seemed like we were about to lose him.

at this time.

From an alley on the side of the road, a handsome and heroic Jinyiwei wearing a flying fish uniform suddenly walked out.

"Thief, thief——" Hu Pian'er seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and pointed forward and shouted.

Such a handsome Jinyiwei is of course our Zhao Yurui.

Zhao Yurui is even more handsome in this life than in his previous life. He is tall, strong, handsome and cool. Most importantly, this flying fish suit is a big plus.

When the two looked at each other, Hu Pianer's heart actually skipped a beat.

"What?" Zhao Yurui turned around and immediately shouted, "Don't worry, Miss."

"Stop, don't run." Whoosh, Zhao Yurui started chasing after him.

"Alright, alright, miss, don't run anymore. I can't run anymore. Aren't there Jinyiwei chasing us?" He'er panted.

"Hurry up and catch up." Hu Pian'er ignored it and continued running forward.

He'er was running so fast that Hu Pian'er left her further and further behind.

Hu Pianer stared at Zhao Yurui and felt that Zhao Yurui looked really handsome in that flying fish suit.

The two of them ran one in front and one behind, and they ran a long distance unknowingly. Hu Pian'er usually couldn't run that fast, but today she seemed to have taken some drugs and kept running after Zhao Yurui. By the time they realized what was happening, they had already run several miles and were almost out of the city.

Finally, after turning a corner, she faintly heard angry shouts: "Don't run, stop, ah——"

Hu Pian'er's heart skipped a beat. When she turned the corner and ran into another alley, Zhao Yurui covered his eyes and squatted on the ground.

"Ah, how are you?" She quickly ran over and squatted in front of Zhao Yurui.

Zhao Yurui raised his head slowly.

Hu Pianer burst out laughing.

Because Zhao Yurui was given a panda eye.

Damn it, Zhang Youcheng, I'm telling you to hit me so hard.

Zhao Yurui was also speechless, but when he saw Hu Pianer smile, he felt that the punch was worth it.

"Miss, is this your purse?" Zhao Yurui took out the purse.

"Oh, I got it back." Hu Pian'er was surprised and happy. At this time, she found that she was quite close to Zhao Yurui.

She was concerned about Zhao Yurui's injuries just now, and the two of them were squatting close to each other. She felt a little embarrassed, so she quickly stood up and took two steps back.

"It's a pity that the thief was not caught. I didn't dare to shoot for fear of hitting someone else." Zhao Yurui had to say.

"It's okay, it's okay. I just hope you're okay." Hu Pian'er regretted saying this. What does it mean that you're okay?
Ashamed.

Her face turned even redder.

"Hiss" Zhao Yurui pretended to cover her eyes, but it really hurt. "Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Hu Pian'er asked with concern.

"It's just a skin wound. Just apply a hard-boiled egg on it."

"Is there such a saying?" Hu Pian'er looked around. This place was too far from her home and there were no cooked eggs.

Zhao Yurui stood up at this time. As soon as he stood up, he swayed from side to side, as if he could not stand steadily.

"Be careful." Hu Pian'er subconsciously stepped forward and helped Zhao Yurui.

Zhao Yurui took advantage of the situation to lean slightly and snuggle against Hu Pianer.

A sweet and soft scent instantly enveloped him.

"Are you okay?" Hu Pian'er asked with concern, as she hadn't yet realized that Zhao Yurui was taking advantage of her.

She was afraid that Zhao Yurui would faint, so she held Zhao Yurui tightly, her little face flushed red.

Zhao Yurui was briefly absent-minded.

Feeling Hu Pian'er's youth, he seemed to have returned to the youthful days when he first met Xiaotao in Yu Mansion.

It’s great to be young. He couldn’t help but secretly inhale the fragrance at the tip of his nose.

In his previous life, after he turned fifty, he rarely touched women.

Now that I am young again, I suddenly feel that when I get old, even being an emperor won’t be that interesting anymore.

Youth is still good.

"Hey, hey, don't scare me." Hu Pian'er looked at the dazed Zhao Yurui in horror, thinking that Zhao Yurui had been hit on the head and became stupid.

"Oh, sorry, it's okay, it's okay, I just feel a little dizzy." Zhao Yurui came to his senses and reluctantly left Hu Pianer.

Hu Pian'er was already sweating profusely at this moment. It should be said that both of them were sweating profusely. It was August and the weather was hot, and they had been running on the street for so long.

Hu Pianer was dressed relatively conservatively, wearing a long skirt.

The miniskirts that Zhao Yurui asked the girls in the KTV to wear were introduced from the Eastern Yan Kingdom. They have been popular in the coastal provinces in recent decades, but most girls in the Yuan Dynasty are embarrassed to wear them.

Hu Pian'er was wearing a long skirt in such a hot day, so naturally she was sweating all over.

Seeing her face getting red from the sun, Zhao Yurui quickly said, "It's too sunny outside, go to the side."

After saying that, without caring whether she was happy or not, he took her hand and walked to the side.

This was probably the first time in Hu Pian'er's life that a strange man held her hand. She was a little at a loss for a moment, but she did not resist and followed Zhao Yurui obediently, but her face was getting redder and redder.

The two came to the shade of a tree at the corner of the street, and Zhao Yurui looked as if he suddenly realized something: "Sorry, I didn't mean it." He quickly let go.

"It's okay, it's okay." Hu Pianer's voice was low and soft. She was a little embarrassed and looked up at Zhao Yurui, but she couldn't help it.

When I looked up, I saw Zhao Yurui covering his eyes with gritted teeth.

"Are you okay? You look badly injured."

"Of course I'm fine. A small punch like that can't kill me. It's a pity that I didn't catch him. Ah, hiss."

"Puchi" Looking at his panda eyes, Hu Pianer couldn't help laughing again.

"Do I look ugly? You laughed twice?" Zhao Yurui said seriously.

Hu Pianer quickly shook her hands: "No, no, I'm not laughing at you--" But she would not lie, and her expression was obviously unable to hide, and she still wanted to laugh.

The next moment, she also felt guilty. How could I laugh at him when he was in my arms?

But panda eyes are really funny.

"My name is Zhao Yurui." Zhao Yurui said seriously, "I'm from the Jinyiwei Wharf Office."

Hu Pian'er whispered, "My name is Hu Pian'er." After that, she secretly glanced at Zhao Yurui again.

The two looked at each other again, and Hu Pian'er hurriedly moved to the side.

Boom, boom, her little heart started beating violently again.

Apart from her schoolmates, it was also the first time for her to stand so close to a young man.

She wanted to move further away, but the shade of the tree was limited. If she stood any further away, she would be exposed to the sun. Hu Pianer found a good reason for herself.

"Your name sounds like that of a former emperor." Hu Pianer suddenly said.

"Are you talking about the tyrant Zhao Yurui?" Zhao Yurui said calmly.

"Zhao Yurui is not a tyrant." Hu Pian'er said formally: "I have read history, and he was also for our Great Song--Great Yuan"

Zhao Yurui was secretly delighted, it turned out that not everyone thought I was a tyrant.

"You like history too?"

"Well, I like to read about the pre-Song Dynasty (before Zhao Meng's Yuan Dynasty)."

Zhao Yurui chatted with her casually for a few minutes, and the two seemed to have endless topics to talk about. Hu Pianer knew a lot about the history of the past, and Zhao Yurui was even more of a living history.

For a moment, Hu Pianer thought she had met a close friend.

Chatting happily.

"Miss, Miss, Miss--" Someone not far away put his hands on his hips, walked a few steps and stopped a few times, and another Lotus with sweat on her forehead came.

"Oh, my lotus is here, I want to go home." Hu Pianer said.

"What's your home phone number?" Zhao Yurui asked suddenly.

Hu Pianer's heart began beating violently again.

She hesitated for a moment and whispered, "82605566, but there's no phone number in my room. Don't call on weekends, at noon, or in the evening. My dad is at home."

"Are you free to go to Qiantang Temple tomorrow morning?" Zhao Yurui took advantage of the victory and made another appointment to meet tomorrow.

Hu Pian'er didn't say anything, just nodded with a blushing face, then turned around, picked up her skirt, and trotted away.

"Nine o'clock in the morning." Zhao Yurui's voice sounded again.

After she ran for more than ten steps, she turned back and saw Zhao Yurui looking at her. Her face turned even redder, and she quickly turned around and ran away.

Youth is so good. Zhao Yurui watched her running and couldn't help but take a deep breath again. Looking at the sky of Dayuan, he suddenly felt that the present was not bad.

It would be nice if I could travel through time and start over again every time I get older.

Once people get old, even emperors are no longer important to them.

Although he is now at the bottom of the Yuan Dynasty, he has never been discouraged. After seeing Hu Pianer, he feels that youth is the king.

After dinner that day, Zhao Yurui went to Hu Dianli's house again with cigarettes and alcohol.

Bang, bang, bang, he knocked on the door gently.

"Who is it?" An old man's voice came from inside. After a while, a servant opened the door and glanced at Zhao Yurui.

Zhao Yurui changed her clothes, put on casual clothes, and went home to take a shower.

"I am Zhao Yurui from the Jinyiwei Wharf Station, and I am here to meet Lord Hu." After saying this, he raised the cigarettes and alcohol in his hands.

The servant was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded: "Please wait a moment, young master."

With a squeak, he closed the door again.

In the inner courtyard, Hu Haishan's family had just finished their meal. His daughter Hu Pian'er went back to her room. Hu Haishan took a stack of banknotes and prepared to go out to play mahjong with his colleagues.

As he reached the door, he was stopped by the servant.

"Jinyiwei Zhao Yurui?" Hu Haishan had never heard of him before and looked confused.

"He has cigarettes and alcohol in his hands, and seems to want to ask for something." The servant whispered.

When Hu Haishan heard about cigarettes and alcohol, his first reaction was that it was for his own daughter, but then he thought that was impossible and it was most likely a tax issue.

"Let him go to the living room." Hu Haishan waited in the room for a while before going to the living room.

Soon Zhao Yurui was seen.

"Junior Zhao Yurui greets Master Hu."

Hu Haishan looked confused after hearing this. Usually only relatives address each other as younger generations. He did not know Zhao and Rui.

"Who are you?" He thought he was really Hu Pian'er's classmate or something, but Zhao Yurui looked a few years older than Hu Pian'er.

"Yu Rui is from the Jinyiwei at the dock, and recently he opened a KTV with his friends..." Zhao Yu Rui quickly explained the whole story, and then put an envelope under the cigarette box in front of Hu Haishan.

Hu Haishan's eyes moved and he knew that it must be money.
