Obtain the divine power at the beginning

Chapter 375 375. Kill four birds with one stone

The sun is setting on the western mountains and the autumn wind is bleak.

In an exquisite wooden house at the foot of the winding Wumian Mountains, the head of Tieniu Village, Zhuo Shicai, raised his eyebrows tactfully when facing Bo Zhuxiang, the head of Guxiang County, and Tang Guan and others who came to pay back taxes. Honglian has always been there.

Zhuo Shicai said: "Zhu Zhubo, I'm sorry. The common people only supply weapons to the garrison at Jiange Pass. You want to pay taxes? You might as well discuss it with General Hong Liansu of Jiange Pass. The real boss of Tieniu Village is actually Hong Liansu." General, the common people really have no right to make decisions." Use Hong Liansu's name to scare Zhu Xiang.

This Hong Liansu was General Lunan who arrested Aunt An, An'er and her daughter and had a fierce fight with Shi Tianyu.

Recently, I was transferred to the southwest to garrison.

~~
Zhuo Shicai thought to himself, now Hong Liansu has tens of thousands of troops, what can Zhu Xiang, a small county-level leader, do to him? Even if Shi Tianyu is the iron-fisted county magistrate, so what?
What can we do with the generals who command the troops?

The Guxiang County Government Office made the rude Hong Liansu angry. Hong Liansu didn't even lead the troops to demolish the Guxiang County Government Office!
~~
Zhu Xiang said calmly: "Haha! Shopkeeper Zhuo is really good at joking. How can we, a small county government, consult with the commander-in-chief?"

He smiled and was not angry. This time he came to discuss with the last "big tax arrears", it was nothing more than a superficial matter. In fact, in the end, it was still necessary to rely on Shi Tianyu's force to conquer these "big tax arrears". However, it is a fine Chinese tradition to practice courtesy first and then fight.

So, Zhu Xiang said flatteringly: "Shopkeeper Zhuo is really good at making a living. He actually makes a living in the military camp. If you make a lot of money, you should follow the example of Yao Luyang, the richest man in central Sichuan. Yao Weng is now paying for it out of his own pocket. The residents of Guxiang County have made great contributions, and he will continue to make a lot of money from this renovation of the old town."

~~
Zhuo Shicai pretended to be polite and said: "Where? Where? The common people are also sharing the worries of the imperial court. There is no way to make a living! Haha! Zhu Zhubo, it's getting late, and the common people still have to go out to check the status of today's weapons production. Otherwise, General Hong Liansu will blame him. Life is not easy for ordinary people!"

After some humility, he ordered the guests to be kicked out.

How could a wealthy man, backed by officers and soldiers, take Zhu Xiang, a small county-level boss who was nearly fifty years old, in his eyes.

He didn't even serve Zhu Xiang and others a simple dinner.

How arrogant.

~~
Zhu Xiang felt angry and wanted to rebel, but Shi Tianyu had said before that he should be polite before fighting, so he said calmly: "Okay, I'll take my leave. Shopkeeper Zhuo, please talk to General Hong Liansu and see if you can support Master Shi. The taxes imposed by Feng are heavy!"

Thinking of Shi Tianyu's earnest teachings and arrangements, he bowed first and then fought, still smiling calmly on his face, and then left his seat.

Zhuo Shicai wished that Zhu Xiang would leave quickly, so he said, "Haha! Okay, Lord Zhu, go slowly. I will definitely communicate with General Hong when I have time." He did not return the salute, and stood up and said, " Please" gesture, asking Zhu Xiang to go away quickly.

Zhu Xiang turned around and left angrily.

Now that Shi Tianyu is backing him, Zhu Xiang, who has endured his anger for most of his life, will not tolerate it anymore. He will definitely take action next.

~~
Zhuo Shicai looked at Zhu Xiang's retreating back, gave a scornful "poof", and cursed: "Huh! He's fifty years old, and he still behaves in front of his mistress. He really embarrasses his ancestors."

At this time, his concubine Yan Hong came out, leaned on Zhuo Shicai's vest, and said in a cooing voice: "Master, the god of plague is gone, you can come in and have dinner."

Zhuo Shicai turned around and hugged Yan Hong, and said with an evil smile: "Haha! Are you hungry, little darling? Eat dinner first, and I will feed you nutrition on the bed later."

He hugged Yan Hong and returned to the hall to have dinner together.

~~
Yan Hong gently pushed Zhuo Shicai's hand away and said coquettishly: "Master, so many people are watching!"

He raised his hand and pointed at the servants around him.

The servants quickly walked away.

Zhuo Shicai pulled Yan Hong to sit next to him, picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork bone with meat and brought it to her mouth, saying: "Haha, little darling, come here, eat a bone."

At this time, a bodyguard ran over panting, bowed and said: "Master, something bad is going to happen!" Zhuo Shicai was so annoyed that he roared: "What's going on? How can you behave in such a panic? Get out of here!" Get out! Don’t disturb me from having dinner.”

~~
Seeing Zhuo Shicai's anger, the bodyguard was frightened and stammered: "Master, that, that Zhu, Zhu Xiang, led the people to arrest the young master, and also took away many weapons. He also said We made weapons privately, and rebelling against the imperial court is a capital crime! Zhu, Zhu Xiang said that when Lord Shi comes back, the case will be opened immediately."

When Zhuo Shicai heard this, he flew into a rage, kicked over the chairs on the left and right sides of the dining table, stood up, and roared: "What? Where is Zhu Xiang? Why don't you guys break his legs? Isn't he just a little master?" What's so great about it? Go quickly, catch up with Zhu Xiang, break his legs, and let Shi Tianyu kneel over to lead the people."

~~
The bodyguard looked sad and said in a trembling voice: "The people brought by Zhu Xiang are very skilled in martial arts. There seems to be a man named Tang Guan who has very powerful hidden weapons. The brothers can't resist it. The people who stepped forward to save the young master were all killed. Tang Guan's hidden weapon knocked him down, and now his life and death are unknown, and they are all lying on the ground unable to move."

~~
Whenever Zhuo Shicai was in trouble, he would think of using his money to get the soft-handed General Hong Liansu. But after hearing this, he felt bad, so he ordered the bodyguard and said: "You ride a fast horse to Jiange Pass and tell General Hong Liansu After reporting the situation, I will immediately go to the north gate of Guxiang City to wait for him. This time, let General Hong lead the troops to kill this bastard Shi Tianyu."

~~
The bodyguard said with a worried face: "Sir, it will take at least a day and night for the villain to go back and forth like this. If the young master falls into the hands of the little magistrate named Shi, it will be very dangerous! Magistrate Shi even has relatives of Magistrate Dai. Dare to kill, let alone our young master. Recently, Shizhi County imprisoned Xiang Zhong, the nephew of Fucheng colleague Xiang Laixiang, and beat shopkeeper Yan Lin Shida. Shopkeeper Yan Da obediently paid taxes and levies. Got 150,000 taels of silver."

~~
Zhuo Shicai seemed to have just remembered Shi Tianyu's iron-fisted methods at this moment, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and said in panic: "This!? Alas! Then you also have to report to General Hong Liansu and ask him to find the county magistrate named Shi. Yan Hong, please bring a hundred thousand taels of silver note right away and go with me to the Guxiang County Government Office."

Hearing that Shi Tianyu's methods were very dangerous, he was so frightened that he asked his bodyguards to go to Jiange. Zhuo Shicai quickly led Yanhong, took the banknotes and several bodyguards to the county government office overnight.

~~
Shi Tianyu was afraid that something might happen to Gu Xiang, so he hurried back to the county town overnight.

The police officer outside the county government office raised his hands to greet him, bowed and said, "Sir, we are back. Zhu Zhubo has just returned with Zhuo Shicai's son Zhuo Zhuo. Tonight, we have to handle the case all night again."

After that, he bowed and walked forward to lead Shi Tianyu's horse.

Another detective stepped forward and helped Shi Tianyu dismount.

The two detectives respected Shi Tianyu very much and served Shi Tianyu very attentively.

~~
Shi Tianyu dismounted, nodded, and said, "Oh, okay!"

Then he turned sideways and said to Zhang Hui: "Hui'er, go back to your house and cook some food to satisfy everyone's hunger. The case will be handled very late tonight." After that, he went straight to the county government office.

Zhang Ming, Chen Biao, Yue'er and others followed closely.

At this time, Helan Minyue flew over and said in surprise: "Sir, you are back? That's great!"

It had only been a day since they had seen each other or been together. Helan Minyue was not used to it, and she actually cried in surprise.

Shi Tianyu felt hot in his heart, stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on Helan Minyue's face, and said, "Let's go handle the case together."

Then he took Helan Minyue's slender hand and stepped into the county government hall.

~~
After walking a few steps, Shi Tianyu turned around and saw Zhang Ming also coming in, and said to Zhang Ming: "Oh, Zhang Ming, you, the policemen who escort the tax money, go back and rest first. A few policemen with strong reputations are enough Now, we don’t need too many people in the court. Now, there are no people watching. I want to crush Zhuo Shicai to death, just like crushing a little ant. Go back and have a good rest."

~~
Zhang Ming bowed and said, "Thank you for your understanding." Then he turned around and left.

Chen Biao bowed his hands and said: "Sir, you didn't take a break, and even I, a humble official, dare not take a break. Let's go, I have a case to handle, so I'm humble and energetic!" He insisted on following Shi Tianyu to handle the case overnight.

Shi Tianyu nodded, held Helan Minyue's hand, and walked into the courtroom.

~~
At this time, Tang Guan heard the sound and came out to greet him. He bowed to Shi Tianyu and said, "Sir, Zhu Zhubo is waiting for you in the court hall."

Shi Tianyu didn't answer the question, but smiled and said: "Haha! Hui'er went to cook supper."

Then, holding Helan Minyue's hand, she quickly walked into the courtroom.

~~
Tang Guan heard that Zhang Hui was back and rushed to Shi Mansion before Shi Tianyu finished speaking.

In addition to completing the official duties assigned by Shi Tianyu, Tang Guan's heart was full of Zhang Hui.

And Shi Tianyu really wanted to betroth Zhang Hui to Tang Guan as his wife.

Because, Shi Tianyu thought of Cao Cao.

Historically, it was Cao Cao who took the matter of marriage to its extreme.

And Shi Tianyu now also needs to win over his subordinates and form his own stable interest group.

As he rises higher and higher, Shi Tianyu will need a large team of people sooner or later.

~~
In court.

When Zhu Xiang saw Shi Tianyu coming back, he quickly stood up and gave up his seat.

Shi Tianyu waved his hand towards Zhu Xiang and sat next to Zhu Xiang.

It means, let Zhu Xiang be the chief judge tonight.

Now, Shi Tianyu didn't want to deal with things like this personally.

Zhu Xiang is an old bureaucrat. Although he is at the bottom, he still has decades of experience in acting as an official. He is also talented, mainly because his talents were buried before.

~~
Zhu Xiang turned sideways and said to Shi Tianyu: "Sir, what should we do with the people in the hall? Oh, the kid kneeling in the middle is Zhuo Shicai's son Zhuo Zhuo."

Shi Tianyu's thinking is different from that of ordinary people, and he said: "Let Zhuo Zhuo kneel down first. When I come, you will beat Zhuo Zhuo with the cane. If he is knocked unconscious, pour cold water on him to wake him up. When he wakes up, beat him again and keep beating him." Until Zhuo Shicai entered the inner hall to find the official and took the initiative to discuss with the official about paying taxes.

We can attack tax-defaulting households like this in any way we want, just don't kill them.

They have enjoyed it in the first half of their lives, so let them suffer in the second half of their lives. "

~~
Zhu Xiang nodded, and continued to report the taxes and fees of the three vegetable markets to Shi Tianyu, saying: "Oh, okay! Sir, Fang Zhiqiang is very tough and will not pay taxes."

Song Ziqing came over, bowed and said, "Sir, now, how about I lead all the brothers to arrest Fang Zhiqiang?"

When Chen Biao heard this, he was furious and shouted loudly: "Okay, Master Shi, I will take the brothers to the vegetable market to pick up people immediately."

Shi Tianyu smiled calmly and said: "No need, let's have some tea, I have my own idea. Brother Song, go make a pot of good tea to drink."

Then he held hands with Helan Minyue and walked into the inner hall first to sit down.

~~
"Officer Dog, what reason do you have for arresting the child?"

At this time, Zhuo Shicai's voice sounded in the courtroom.

Shi Tianyu then turned sideways and said to Zhu Xiang: "Zhu Zhubo, you are going out to handle the case. Remember to ask Zhuo Shicai to go into the inner hall to find me. If he doesn't come to me, we will beat them until they come to me." Don’t be afraid, everyone is responsible for everything.”

Helan Minyue gently left Shi Tianyu, stood up, took the teapot from Song Ziqing's hand, and made tea herself.

Zhu Xiang, Chen Biao, and Song Ziqing hurried out.

~~
Yan Hong, who had followed Zhuo Shicai, walked into the county government hall, ran to Zhuo Zhuo's side, reached out to help him, and said lovingly: "Master, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Only by pleasing the shopkeeper's son can he please the shopkeeper better.

Yanhong is really a very sensible concubine.

~~
Zhu Xiang walked into the court, sat in front of the desk, picked up the gavel, slammed the desk, and shouted: "Who is in the hall? Why are you making such noise here?" His voice was very majestic, the same as when he was in Tieniushan. , is completely different.

It's time for the tiger to show off its power.

Frightened, Yan Hong quickly retracted her hands and stood beside Zhuo Shicai.

~~
"Buzz!"

Pan Dong waited for a group of servants, and quickly shouted bluffing sounds, and all of them hit the floor with their torture sticks.

Zhuo Shicai was frightened in his heart, but he also used the tiger skin as a banner. He stepped forward, pointed at Zhu Xiang, and shouted: "Are you scaring me? Zhu Xiang, let him go quickly. Otherwise, as soon as General Hong Liansu arrives, , you are all dead. I am General Hong’s adopted son. It is unjust for you to treat me like this.”

~~
Zhu Xiang was furious and wanted to get angry with Zhuo Shicai in Tieniu Village. Will he let Zhuo Shicai go now?

So, he shouted loudly: "Come here, take down the barbarian who roars in the court, with forty-nine canes."

The officials on the left and right swarmed forward.

~~
Zhuo Shicai's four personal bodyguards hurriedly stepped forward to protect the master, pulled out their steel knives, pointed them at the government officials, and roared: "Who dares to touch my master?"

Chen Biao said angrily: "This is a court, not a place where you smelt iron."

With a wave of his hand, he led the police to stop the four bodyguards, and the two sides started fighting in the courtroom.

Pan Dong took the opportunity to pounce on him, grabbed Zhuo Shicai and pushed him to the ground.

~~
"Boom!"

Zhuo Shicai's forehead was pressed to the ground, causing stars to appear in his eyes, the world was spinning, and blood appeared on his forehead.

"Master!" Yan Hong screamed and stepped forward to pat Pan Dong on the back.

Song Ziqing pushed Yanhong to the side with a palm.

Zhu Xiang picked up the order on the desk, threw it away, and shouted: "Come here, beat this barbarian forty-nine times. For every five blows, count one. Beat! Beat hard!"

A group of government officials came up with sticks and beat Zhuo Shicai hard on the back.

And, no one is counting yet.

~~
If the beating continues like this, it may take five hundred blows before the count reaches forty-nine.

The forty-nine sticks used to punish suspects were a major invention of Shi Tianyu.

Every five sticks are counted, which is a major invention of Tang Guan.

Suddenly, he was beaten with dozens of sticks.

"Ouch! Zhu Zhubo, please spare your life!"

Zhuo Shicai was immediately beaten until his skin and flesh were torn. He cried for his father and mother, with tears running down his face, and his bones were about to break.

~~
"father!"

"master!"

Yan Hong and Zhuo Zhuo were so frightened that they cried and shouted.

Yan Hong was pushed and fell down, her hands and feet hurt and she couldn't get over.

Zhuo Zhuo was tied up all over and could not move.

Zhuo Shicai's four bodyguards were forced into a corner by Chen Biao and others and could not get through.

~~
How could Zhuo Shicai bear such a punishment? He lay on the ground and quickly begged for mercy, crying: "Master Zhu Bo, please spare my life, I don't dare anymore." Zhu Xiang said: "Okay! Let him go. I'm beating him now." One stick, there are still forty-eight sticks to be beaten, Su Dianshi must record it!"

It was almost done, so he waved Tian Ye and others to step back.

"Oh, it hurts me so much." Zhuo Shicai fell to the ground, whining in pain, lying on his side, gasping for air.

When I heard Zhu Xiang say that he had been beaten only now, I couldn't help but secretly complain, and secretly greeted Zhu Xiang's eighty-year-old mother eighteen times.

~~
"Master!" Yan Hong crawled over, fell on him, and started crying.

Zhuo Shicai was lying on the ground, pointed at Zhu Xiang, and cursed angrily: "Zhu Xiang, you damn dog official, you are tormenting me like this and taking human life so seriously, what do you want?"

Zhu Xiang laughed and shouted again: "Zhuo Shicai, you have evaded taxes for nine years. According to the Ming Dynasty law, you should have been beheaded long ago. Why are you so stubborn when you are about to die? Come on, Zhuo Shicai refuses to repent and continues to torture you with the cane." Forty-eight sticks. Su Dianshi, please make a record. Zhuo Shicai’s arrogant remarks about the government and Long Live Lord just now are already punishable by death.”

~~
Pan Dong and others stepped forward and held Zhuo Shicai down again.

Ever since Shi Tianyu invented the forty-nine cane, official officers usually use the forty-nine when handling cases. There is no need to report it, and he has the right to make the decision.

Zhuo Shicai didn't dare to talk back anymore and said hurriedly: "No, no, no! I want to see you, Master Shi."

~~
Zhu Xiang smiled and said: "Zhuo Shicai, Mr. Shi has a bad temper. If you speak nicely and take the initiative to pay taxes, Mr. Shi will make tea for you. Otherwise, your son Zhuo Zhuo sells weapons and wants to fight with others. If they join forces to rebel, if Master Shi gets angry, he will be punished according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and his head will fall to the ground." After that, he laughed loudly and finally let out a bad breath.

~~
Only then did Zhuo Shicai understand why Guxiang County Government arrested Zhuo Zhuo.

He was angry and scolded Zhu Xiang: "You, you, you are making a false accusation."

~~
Zhu Xiang's eyes widened.

Zhuo Zhuo was so frightened that he burst into tears and begged for mercy: "Zhu Zhubo, you are unjust. The villain did not sell weapons! The villain is making weapons for the garrison!"

Zhu Xiang said coldly: "It depends on your father's wishes. Now the gangster who bought the weapons has been caught."

After saying that, he raised his finger and pointed at the three big men beside Zhuo Zhibo.

~~
The three big men said in unison: "Xiaomin pleads guilty! Xiaomin did secretly buy various weapons with the Zhuo family with the intention of rebelling. Now, those who are smelting iron in Tieniushan Mountain are apparently civilian men, but in fact they are all men of the green forest. I Waiting for training of troops and horses every day.”

They were actually newly recruited martial arts masters from the county government, replacing Luo Hong, Bai Zheng and other dead ghosts.

Shi Tianyu asked them to pretend to be gangsters first.

Zhuo Zhuo looked at Zhuo Shicai miserably. Zhuo Shicai did not dare to speak any more. It would be useless to say anything else. The more he spoke, the more crimes he would be accused of.

Forget it, take the initiative to find Shi Tianyu to pay taxes.

No wonder Yan Linshi has to pay taxes obediently, that's why.

Hey, I and Shopkeeper Yan are now brothers in distress.

Yan Hong then helped Zhuo Shicai into the inner hall.

~~
Zhuo Shicai walked into the inner hall, knelt down in front of Shi Tianyu quickly, and said in a trembling voice: "Young man Zhuo Shicai, come to pay homage to Master Shi."

Shi Tianyu helped Zhuo Shicai up, then helped Zhuo Shicai sit down, and exclaimed: "Hey, why is Shopkeeper Zhuo here? Rare guest! Rare guest! Minyue, look at the tea." Helan Minyue came over with a tray and gave it to Zhuo Shicai and Yan Hong presented two bowls of tea.

~~
Zhuo Shicai seemed to see a glimmer of hope when he saw that Shi Tianyu behaved politely and was polite to him.

Moreover, the tea in front of me was very fragrant, definitely the best tea, so I picked up the tea bowl and placed it on the small square table next to me.

Then he reluctantly turned sideways and raised his hands, and said: "Master Shi, what crime did Xiaomin commit? You asked Zhu Xiang to arrest me and his son, oh!" When he turned sideways, he touched the wound on his back and screamed in pain.

Shi Tianyu suddenly turned his back and said coldly: "Shopkeeper Zhuo, just go out and talk to Master Zhu Bo. I am counting the tax money here!" After saying that, he pointed sideways at the boxes of silver piled up.

This statement is already very obvious, which is to let Zhuo Shicai take the initiative to make his attitude clear and pay the tax back.

~~
Zhuo Shicai wanted to have an attack, but he didn't dare.

Yan Hong was smart enough to take out the one hundred thousand tael silver note from her long sleeve and handed it to Zhuo Shicai. When Shi Tianyu saw them taking out the banknotes, he waved to Yan Hong and said, "Please let this girl go out for a while, so that no one will gossip about me in the future."

Yan Hong said: "Yes, sir." She quickly turned around and went out.

Helan Minyue also went out obediently.

Zhuo Shicai took the banknote, handed it to Shi Tianyu, and said angrily: "How much tax money do you need to pay? This is a banknote of 100,000 taels, and it is redeemable nationwide with the Henglian Bank. The more you pay, the less you pay."

~~
Shi Tianyu took the banknotes and put them into his arms. He did not mention the tax money at all, and said slowly: "Shopkeeper Zhuo, what the young master committed was the crime of smuggling military weapons and confiscating the family and annihilating the clan. These banknotes are handed over to me." The official ordering the young master to move up is not considered tax money, it is a personal feeling. "

~~
When Zhuo Shicai heard this, he was really shocked and angry. He didn't expect that when he took out a hundred thousand taels of silver, Shi Tianyu didn't use it as tax money.

So, he raised his finger and pointed at Shi Tianyu, really wanting to curse, but when he thought that his son was still in Shi Tianyu's hands, Shi Tianyu was angered, and maybe he and his son would be beaten with forty-nine sticks later, so he had no choice but to endure it. Stop being angry.

~~
Shi Tianyu still said slowly and calmly: "Shopkeeper Zhuo, don't be anxious. I have received a hundred thousand taels of silver from you, so I will naturally ensure that your son is fine. As for the tax money you have to pay back, I will not Let you go out and find someone else to do it for you.”

"What?" When Zhuo Shicai heard this, he thought he was deaf and quickly repeated it.

~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and repeated: "Shopkeeper Zhuo, I won't let you out of the tax money you paid back. I'll find someone else to advance it for you. In this way, you still haven't spent any money."

Zhuo Shicai was flattered and felt deeply strange, but he also asked in surprise: "Shi Tianyu, are you so kind? You won't dig another hole for me to jump into, will you?"

~~
Shi Tianyu took a sip of tea and expressed his thoughts: "Shopkeeper Zhuo, this is what happened.

The three vegetable markets in the north of the city are controlled by Fang Zhiqiang, the nephew of Jiangchuan County Magistrate Fang Shizhong and the adopted son of Fucheng Magistrate Dai Kun. He has a tough tone and refuses to pay taxes. Didn’t you send someone to find General Hong Liansu?
You asked General Hong to lead the troops to arrest Fang Zhiqiang in the name of investigating the robbed army. Wouldn't Fang Zhiqiang have to immediately offer you some silver in order to save his life? I believe that General Hong Liansu has mastered the art of subduing a beating into a move. "

~~
When Zhuo Shicai heard this, he was really surprised and happy. He quickly frightened Shi Tianyu and said, "Since you know that I sent someone to deliver a letter to General Hong, aren't you afraid that General Hong will accuse you?"

Shi Tianyu was confident and not afraid at all, and said: "Shopkeeper Zhuo, I sent people to arrest you. Of course I found out your details in advance. As for General Hong, although he has tens of thousands of troops, I don't think he can lead the troops to attack Dagu. Xiangxian Yamen? So, isn’t he going to rebel? Besides, I am a famous anti-gold general who has made great achievements in Liaoxi Province twice. Hong Liansu is not my opponent.”

Zhuo Shicai thought about it carefully and was speechless.

~~
Shi Tianyu added: "If General Hong Liansu catches Fang Zhiqiang, not only can you get back one hundred thousand taels of silver, but someone will also pay the tax money for you. You can also share the remaining silver with General Hong privately and make a lot of money." Zhuo Shopkeeper, you will have to thank me in the future! In addition, you will definitely come to visit me during the holidays. Next, the city defense maintenance in Guxiang County is a big business. Shopkeeper, are you interested in participating? "

It really slapped Zhuo Shicai and gave Zhuo Shicai a piece of candy.

Brilliant move!

clever!

Zhuo Shicai scolded: "You are so cruel at such a young age!"

~~
Shi Tianyu gave Zhuo Shicai a lesson and said: "Shopkeeper Zhuo, how many officials are not greedy or ruthless? This trick of mine is called killing four birds with one stone. You are old now, so you should learn more." . Okay, you go out of the city and wait for General Hong's arrival. Remember, you and Fang Zhiqiang's total tax money is one hundred thousand taels. How you divide the rest is your business. Anyway, you give it to me. You will definitely get back the one hundred thousand taels of silver. As for whether there is a chance to cooperate in the future, it depends on your sincerity. "

After that, he was no longer polite to Zhuo Shicai.

He shouted loudly: "Come here, take Shopkeeper Zhuo out of the city."

~~
Chen Biao and others rushed in quickly.

They have subdued the Zhuo family's bodyguards.

When Yan Hong heard Shi Tianyu shout loudly, she quickly ran in and helped Zhuo Shicai out.

Zhuo Zhuo was surprised and happy to see Zhuo Shicai come out without incident.

Zhuo Shicai reached out and patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Son, you stay with Master Shi for two days. Dad will take you home in two days."

Turn around and go away next to Yan Hong.

~~
Zhuo Zhuo burst into tears and shouted in disappointment: "Dad!"

At this time, Shi Tianyu came out and shouted: "Come here, untie shopkeeper Zhuo's bodyguards and let them go together. Oh, also untie Mr. Zhuo and a few gangsters and let them accompany Mr. Zhuo into the inner hall to drink tea." "

Only then did Zhuo Shicai feel a little more at ease.

Then with the support of Yan Hong and the injured bodyguard, she walked out of the county government office.

~~
Shi Tianyu said again: "Chen Biao, Song Ziqing, you lead the people to take turns on duty and keep an eye on the money and prisoners in the inner hall."

Then, he waved to all the businessmen and Zhu Xiang and others, and said: "Zhuo Shicai and Hong Liansu will go to Fang Zhiqiang to settle accounts, so you don't have to go to Fang Zhiqiang. Have a good rest for a few days and wait for the tax collection. This time , let Hong Liansu give Fang Zhiqiang a good beating to reduce our number of enemies." After that, he turned around and went back to his house to rest.

He also gave Helan Minyue the 100,000 taels of silver note given to him by Zhuo Shicai.

Let Helan Minyue take Yue'er to get the cash back and put it in the backyard of Shi Mansion.

Then, Shi Tianyu moved the 100,000 taels of cash to the system space vault.

~~
Zhuo Shicai cursed all the way and stayed in a small pavilion outside the north gate of the city for a whole day and night, braving the wind and cold, before he waited for Hong Liansu, who came with thousands of officers and soldiers.

After listening to Zhuo Shicai's complaints, Hong Liansu furiously cursed, "This little bastard named Shi is really cruel."

He drew his sword and chopped down the small trees on the roadside.

The small trees were knocked down and staggered.

~~
Seeing that Hong Liansu was angry, Zhuo Shicai asked him to avenge himself and said, "General, do you want to punish that little bastard named Shi?"

Hong Liansu pushed Zhuo Shicai away roughly and cursed: "You?! You are so old, why are you not as good as that little bastard named Shi? That little bastard has already made his choice. Do you really want me to lead the troops to attack Guxiang?" Isn’t that a rebellion at the county government?”

Zhuo Shicai almost fell to the ground, and said with sudden realization: "Yes! General, I am stupid, thank you General for your advice."

He quickly bowed and apologized to Hong Liansu.

The beating he received at the Guxiang County Yamen and the anger he received from Shi Tianyu were all in vain.

~~
Hong Liansu said: "Let's go and ask Fang Zhiqiang for some money."

Not caring about Zhuo Shicai, he led his troops to attack three vegetable markets in Guxiang County and found Fang Zhiqiang.

Zhuo Shicai vented his anger on Fang Zhiqiang and ordered his men to beat him severely.

In order to survive, Fang Zhiqiang quickly ordered someone to send 300,000 taels of silver. Fang Zhiqiang went bankrupt and spent most of his life working in vain.

Zhuo Shicai and Hong Liansu each received one hundred thousand taels of silver, and obediently escorted the one hundred thousand taels of cash to the county government in exchange for Zhuo Zhuo.

~~
Shi Tianyu's "kill four birds with one stone" plan was successful, and he also made a fortune, and asked Zhuo Shicai and Fang Zhiqiang to make up for the tax.

The tax crisis is over.

In this way, Shi Tianyu himself got back double the money he gave to Dai Kun.

From now on, it will be no problem even if you give Dai Kun a hundred gold ingots.

~~
"Haha! What a wonderful idea, sir!"

On this day, in the county government office and in the courtroom, a group of officials all pointed their fingers and praised Shi Tianyu.

Shi Tianyu said: "Okay, I have nothing to do today. Let's drink tea in the court and have a good laugh."

The detectives quickly moved over to bring chairs for Chen Biao and others to sit down.

At this time, Liu Sen, Zhang Xin and his wife led Shi Shi, Lu Weiting, Yang Feng and others in, and successfully escorted the previous 70,000 taels of silver to Kyoto, and asked Yin Youzhao, the Minister of the Ministry of Official Affairs, to transfer it to Zhu Youxiao and Empress Zhang. .

Now, Lu Weiting, Shi Shi, Yang Feng and others are here to collect the escort fees.

Lu Jian was afraid that his sister Lu Ying would be "bullied" by Shi Tianyu again, so he waited outside the county government office.

Moreover, Lu Jian held Lu Ying tightly, preventing Lu Ying from entering the county government hall.

~~
Shi Tianyu hurriedly asked Zhu Xiang to report the accounts to Lu Weiting, Shi Shi and Yang Feng, and paid the escort fees for a total of 10,000 taels of silver.

Then, he said to Liu Sen, Zhu Xiang, Zhang Ming and others: "Follow the method of escorting tax money to Kyoto last time and escort it again. This time, we will catch all the martial arts people invited by Peng Jinshi.

This time, I personally participated in escorting the tax money to Beijing. On the way, I shaved Peng Jinshi’s head.

Liu Sen, please arrange for all the bodyguards to go to the inn to have a rest, have a good meal, and pay it to the public account.

In the evening, ask all the escorts to go out of the city to find some stones and put them into the escort cars. Put the existing 170,000 taels of tax money from the county government into the escort car of the Sun and Moon Escort Bureau, and escort it to the backyard of my house. I will redesign it later to see how to kill Peng Jinshi and his gang. . "

Everyone immediately followed the order and left.

~~
Half an hour later, everyone returned to the county government hall.

Shi Tianyu called everyone to sit down and said: "Although Xiang Laixiang has issued a new tax task for next year and added an additional task of 5,000 taels of tax silver to us, we are not afraid. The existing 170,000 taels of tax silver are extra. Yes, how to deal with it? Will it be handed over next year?
No! With me here, I guess it won't be difficult to collect taxes next year. Moreover, Dai Kun approved the word "agree" on the official personnel appointment document of the tax yamen. Therefore, the Department of Taxation also agreed that Zhang Ming, Tang Guan, Song Ziqing, Pan Dong and others should serve as heads of tax yamen in the county government. I suggest that everyone go to the inn for a big meal today.

In addition, the existing excess tax money of 170,000 taels was escorted to Kyoto. I personally escorted it and reported the work to Lord Long Live. I suggested that Lord Yin take the lead and go to the border to reward the soldiers.

Our Guxiang is going to be in the limelight again this time. Also, through this escort of tax money, Peng Jinshi's head was shaved, and all the people in the martial arts world who he spent a lot of money to invite were caught in one fell swoop. I have to take action in this matter myself. "

Tell all the bad and good things.

~~
"Okay! Let's go and congratulate the Tang brothers."

All the detectives happily congratulated Tang Guan and others.

Everyone became happy and excited, and let Shi Tianyu say whatever he wanted, only congratulating Tang Guan and others.

Anyway, Shi Tianyu's political achievements are extremely dazzling now. To the general public, whatever Shi Tianyu says is right.

In fact it is.

~~
Shi Tianyu asked Liu Sen and Zhu Xiang to handle the handover procedures for excess tax money.

Then, let Zhu Xiang lead the officials to the inn for a luxurious meal.

This year’s tax crisis is finally over.

~~
Shi Tianyu returned to the backyard of Shi Mansion.

A pair of golden pupils scanned the extra 170,000 taels of tax silver, then raised the middle finger of his left hand to float the extra 170,000 taels of tax silver to the plane in the system space.

Qin Zhiguang came over and said: "General Shi, didn't you say you wanted to take us to Yihua Palace in an aircraft? You see, I am almost fifty years old, and what happened with my junior sister, haha!"

~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, this time, Peng Jinshi will definitely not dare to rob the stones from the four escort agencies led by Liu Sen.

Because he knows that we can't let him rob real tax money.

He spent a lot of money twice and will definitely never get any money from Yao Luyang again.

I just said this deliberately in court to let some people summon Peng Jinshi.

Moreover, in order to support the Mingjiao Jiangnan branch, I found an excuse and reason to support them with some money and let Shi Yuyan gather the disciples of the Mingjiao Jiangnan branch. It will definitely be useful in the future.

Anyway, good people are rewarded.

Next, we will take the aircraft together to Kyoto, and then take a detour over the Yihua Palace to visit Princess Zhu Yingya and ask her to send someone to send a message to the Six-Fingered Piano Demon so that the Six-Fingered Piano Demon can marry you. "

"Haha!" Qin Zhiguang suddenly laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes, and jumped up and down.

~~
Shi Tianyu immediately led Yue'er, Helan Minyue, and Zhang Hui to the inn to have a drink with all the official officials.

Then, he led the public servants to visit the renovation of the old city. Yao Luyang and his apprentice were already waiting for Shi Tianyu in the old city.

In fact, this area already belongs to the new city.

All construction has been completed.

~~
This new urban area is neatly planned and has four directions.

Tall new houses are in the center and low new houses are distributed around the perimeter.

In this way, ordinary people surround the rich.

To get out, the rich must go through ordinary people's shops and purchase various supplies from ordinary people's shops.

In this way, ordinary traders can be given a way to survive.

~~
Yao Luyang introduced the situation to Shi Tianyu and the public servants. All the tall new houses had been sold out.

Heheng Chain Bank Branch has also been established in this area.

The political achievements are extremely dazzling!

In just three months, half of the entire county seat was built, and the entire Nancheng District took on a completely new look.

Hundreds of thousands of people have divided their fields and have a bumper harvest this year.

Everyone has something to eat and everyone is excited.

~~
Master and apprentice Yao Luyang and all public servants all had mixed feelings, and they all lamented that Shi Tianyu had done a good job in this popular project!
Shi Tianyu said: "Tonight, I will personally deposit the extra tax money and go to Beijing to prepare to ask Yin Youzhao, the Minister of Civil Affairs, to come and cut the ribbon for our popular project. If Lord Yin cannot come, please invite other first- and second-rank officials in Kyoto. That’s fine. I’ll take this opportunity to go to the palace and report my duties to Lord Long Live. I’ll see if I can invite Lord Long Live or the Queen to visit Guxiang County.”

~~
Suddenly, everyone's spirits were lifted.

Who doesn't want to see the emperor or the queen?

Master and apprentice Yao Luyang and all the public servants went crazy with joy.

If Zhu Youxiao and Queen Zhang come to Guxiang County Yamen for a visit.

That scene is so spectacular!

If you think about it with your buttocks, you can imagine it.

~~
Shi Tianyu immediately cupped his fists and raised his hands, bidding farewell to Yao Luyang.

Liu Sen secretly admired Shi Tianyu's wisdom and bravery. If he told Yao Luyang to personally escort the escort car to Beijing, would Yao Luyang still give Peng Jinshi money? Impossible!
This time Peng Jinshi would no longer be able to spend a lot of money to hire someone to hijack the escort car on the way.

~~
Returning to Shifu, Liu Sen and his wife got into a carriage, led several escort agencies and set off to Kyoto again.

Shi Tianyu drifted "Dudu", "Shiyu", Qin Zhiguang, Master Xuwu, Master Fengye, Yue'er, Zhang Hui, and Helan Minyue onto the plane in the system space.
