Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 23

It has been four years, and he has been practicing literature and martial arts every day for the past four years. Yinzuo doesn't have much time to go to the folks at all. If you can wander around the folks at will, you can't make a fuss about it. See, I woke up early in the morning, practiced boxing and kicking as usual, cleaned up, and urged Chen Tianyuan to go on the road before dawn. .

Chen Tianyuan is a veteran who is used to all corners of the world, and those so-called little things like disguise and make-up are at his fingertips. It really seems like that when the old and the young dress up as a master and a servant. Seeing Yinzuo become a gangster The young master who left the house, as for Chen Tianyuan himself, he became a gray-haired old servant.

Whether a place is rich or not depends on the morning market. Whether the public security is good or not depends on the restaurants. As for whether the country is too peaceful or the harvest is good, you have to visit the old farmers. Yinzuo did this a lot when he was a civil servant in his previous life. Waiting for the investigation to get to the bottom of things, now I can be regarded as familiar with the way, no, I went directly to the morning market.

Ha, donkey-hide gelatin, good stuff, high-quality blood supplement, I bought it, I will give some to Er Niang and the ladies in the palace; oh, this fire fox fur is good, it is just right to make a scarf for Wen Xian's little girl; yeah, tiger skin ?Good thing, let Yihong make a tiger fur coat later, so that we can also give ourselves a prestige; heh, tofu flower, let's have two bowls first.Yinzuo had a lot of banknotes in his pocket, he jumped up and down in the early market, he jumped up and down vigorously, bought a lot of things, he was like a housewife doing shopping, but he pitied Mr. Chen Tianyuan for being a backpacker with a bag.

At three poles in the sun, the person Yin Zuo was waiting for finally appeared, and two tax collectors dressed in the uniform of government officials came to collect tax.Yinzuo pretended to be wandering, and walked behind Shui Ding to see how Shui Ding collected taxes.Not bad, the two taxpayers were very kind to those who set up stalls, and the tax collection went smoothly, there was no conflict at all, and the tax collected did not exceed the quota set by the Qing law.Yin Zuo chatted for a while with a few traders dressed as old farmers nearby, and learned that since Liu Siyuan took office eight years ago, these tax officials have not dared to extort money and things, saying that once they found out, they immediately took off their official uniforms. He has never collected taxes or distributed donations in any name, and is a good official who does not disturb the people.

It is normal not to increase taxes. After all, whether to increase taxes is not something that a small county magistrate can decide. There are a lot of donations, such as donations for yamen repairs, school repairs, even the emperor’s birthday. Liu Siyuan doesn’t send donations. How can he have the money to do things like honoring his boss and socializing with his colleagues? No wonder Kangxi's 15-year Jinshi was a county magistrate. If Kangxi hadn't come to inspect, Liu Siyuan might not even be able to keep this little county magistrate Wusha.Well, he is a good official, but he looks a bit shabby.Yin Zuo had a good impression of Liu Siyuan in his heart, and planned to turn around and say good things for him.

The task is considered complete, but it’s hard to come out, of course you can’t go back so soon, you have to seize this rare opportunity to jump around, right?It's still early, let's go to the restaurant to solve the problem of good luck.Yinzuo found someone to find out the location of the largest restaurant in Qinghe, and led Chen Tianyuan straight to the restaurant.Elegant private room, three or five dishes of exquisite side dishes, a pot of fine wine, very refreshing!It's a pity that the wine went to Chen Tianyuan to enjoy, Yin Zuo didn't dare drink in front of the master in a daze, and he could only bear with it if he had wine bugs.

Although Qinghe County is small, this Mingyue restaurant is not big, but the level of cooking is not low. The taste of the dishes is [-]% of the level of Wangyue Restaurant in the capital. When the time comes, you have to eat hard.Yin Zuo was enjoying his meal when suddenly the door of the box opened, and a person came out and knelt down on the ground, saying: "I have seen Lord Baylor."

What?This is wearing clothes?Why did Cheng Yaojin appear?Yin Zuo was stunned for a moment, almost choked by the food, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Did you admit the wrong person?"

"It can't be wrong." The visitor knelt straight on the ground and said, "This servant met Lord Baylor when he picked up the driver yesterday."

Pick up?The person who can participate in the pick-up must be at least a seventh-rank official. Although the person in front of him looks familiar, he is dressed in casual clothes and does not look like an official. Besides, if those sub-officials see him, they always call themselves lower officials or It's a small minister and the like, and he will never call himself a slave. What kind of goods is this guy?Yin Zuo stared at the other party with a puzzled face, but didn't speak.

"Slave Ling Yu is under the crown prince's family, and is currently the magistrate of Dezhou." The visitor simply declared himself a family.

Oh, he is the second child's slave, and he is considered a *, no wonder this kid calls himself a slave, well, the second child has to give face.Yinzuo stood up very politely, walked over to help him up and said humanely: "Lord Ling, you are so polite. Since we are under the brother of the prince, we are a family. Come, come, sit down and talk if you have anything to do."

Ling Yuxun thanked him for a long time, then sat down with half of his buttocks, twitched a bit, took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve, and said, "Master Baylor is here to be ruled by slaves, and slaves have nothing to do with respect, so please invite Baylor." Grandpa laughs."

Uh, bank notes?Good stuff, we like it, but this dog was sent to our door for no reason, it must be asking for something, the money is tied, and besides, Master Chen is also there, so the money cannot be received.Yinzuo's face turned serious and he shouted: "Presumptuous!" Not to mention, Yinzuo's face was straight, and he looked a little dignified, which made Ling Yu tremble in fright. He fell to the ground in a panic and begged: "Lord Baylor, calm down, Lord Baylor, calm down, this slave has no other intentions, just a little heart."

Mind?Let's talk nonsense, this dog must be asking for something, otherwise the many silver couples would have gone to honor the second child.Yin Zuo said with a cold face: "Tell me, how did you find Ben Baylor, and what are you thinking of doing?"

"Lord Baylor calm down. The subordinates of the slave saw that Master Baylor had left the house early in the morning. They followed him for fear that something would happen to him under the slave's rule. That's why the slave learned that Master Baylor had come to the Mingyue Restaurant. The slave was thinking Keke has something to ask Lord Belle, so..."

Damn, dare to follow me, mother, this dog is so courageous.But this matter is a bit strange, Mr. Chen is an old man, how could he not know that someone is following him?Yin Zuo looked at Chen Tianyuan with some doubts. Mr. Chen was still drinking the wine in a leisurely manner, but nodded slightly to show that he knew what was going on.Looking at Chen Tianyuan's leisurely look, Yin Zuo was furious, but he didn't have the guts to get angry with his master. After a long time of resentment, he shouted to Ling Yu who was kneeling on the ground: "Tell me, what is the matter with Ben Baylor?" ?”

"This, this..." Ling Yu was probably terrified, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Say!" Yin Zuo shouted impatiently.

"Yes, yes, this is what the slave said. This is what the slave wants to say to Lord Tobele."

"That's it?" Yinzuo couldn't believe that so many banknotes could be given out just for such a trivial matter.

"Also, I just want Lord Baylor to help you. Liu Siyuan under this servant is a thorn in his side. He behaves perversely on weekdays. This time, he was rude before returning to the king. This servant is thinking about joining him. Please invite Baylor. Grandpa will uphold justice."

Damn, after going around for a long time, it turned out that this dog thought that Liu Siyuan was hindering him from making money. He wanted to drive people away but didn't find his fault. He wanted to use his own hand to rub his black hat. The mother is not a thing, it must be the material of a corrupt official, but this guy is the slave of the second child, no matter what I do, I have to show my second brother some affection, right?Besides, Liu Siyuan offended all the officials in Shandong this time, and it is impossible to continue working here. Hey, it's just that the local people have to suffer again.Yin Zuo's heart turned quickly, put away his anger, and smiled slightly: "Ben Baylor and the prince's elder brother are one, and his slave is also Ben Baylor's slave. This matter is easy to handle. Let Liu Siyuan be transferred later gone."

"Thank you, Lord Baylor, for your success. This servant will leave now." Ling Yu just begged this idiot to get out of the way and not hinder him from making money. As for Liu Siyuan's life or death, he didn't care at all, and he knelt when he was excited tall, got up and planned to leave.Yinzuo chuckled and said, "Wait a minute, take away all the rubbish in this place."

After this bad thing happened, Yinzuo lost his appetite immediately, and went straight back to Cuijiayuanzi, and reported his investigation results to Mr. Kangxi, but he didn't say anything about Ling Yu's entrustment. When it comes to the face of the second child, Yin Zuo doesn't want to be that villain, anyway, he will say that if he doesn't talk about Chen Tianyuan, let Chen Tianyuan be the villain, who let him cheat himself once today.

Lord Kangxi took pity on Liu Siyuan for being a good official, but he didn't pursue his lord's disrespect, instead he was transferred to the Ministry of Industry as the director, even promoted two ranks, it was a blessing in disguise.
