Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 706

Qing Luo ignored his compliments and stared at him wantonly, "Captain Huang, take him back to the county government, I will interrogate him properly. Monkey, you stay and continue to collect taxes. Anyone who is capable of paying taxes but refuses to pay will be punished." Take it back to Yamen."

"Yes, my lord!" Huang Butou was completely relieved. .
He knew that the county magistrate would not kill innocent people so easily, and he was asked to do that last night just to lure this man out.

The strange man took a look at Qingluo, but he didn't even resist Huang Butou's arrest, and followed them back to the yamen in silence.

When she arrived at the court, Qing Luo casually took off the heavy feather crown on her head and put it aside, and only used a small and delicate pearl hairpin to tie her hair into a bun.

She really didn't want to wear the heavy and uncomfortable feather crown unless it was necessary.

The man below the courtroom watched her movements silently.

Qingluo moved her neck comfortably, and asked casually: "It's not right to talk outside. Don't hide it when you get here, are you someone sent by His Majesty?"

The man was obviously a little surprised, "You are really smarter than I expected."

"Come on, besides Your Majesty, who would come to do such a boring thing and stop me from collecting taxes?" Qingluo thought of Liu Ping'an and Liu Meili as she spoke.

However, Liu Ping'an was still squatting in the prison, and Liu Meili would not appear here casually after the sea arrest document was issued.

So, it can't be them.

The only one left with a motive for committing the crime, besides His Majesty, there is almost no other person.

Hearing her comment on His Majesty's behavior, the man was actually not angry, and a stiff smile appeared on his indifferent face: "If you say that, you won't be afraid of Your Majesty's anger."

"It's not just once or twice that she got angry with me." Qing Luo said very easily, "I just didn't expect that she would be so stingy, and just to avoid losing the bet, she would secretly send someone to trip you up. How naive oh."

The man couldn't help laughing at what she said.

The sound was so loud that the trembling roof trembled.

Qing Luo slightly raised her eyebrows: "You can go back. Tell Your Majesty, it's useless. Even if the county tax is not included, I have already reached the amount she asked for."

"Really?" The man looked at her seriously for a while, then nodded, "Okay, I'm leaving."

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Dry and crisp, without any muddy water.

Qingluo regretted it for a moment, she should beat him up first, use two instruments of torture and then let him go!
His Majesty the province thought she was easy to bully and did such a naive thing.

After the man left, Qing Luo sat in the courtroom in a daze for a while, when she came to her senses, it was already noon, and Cai He came over to ask her to have lunch.

Before Qing Luo could stand up, she saw Hou Zi and several other yamen servants rushing in excitedly, holding a heavy money box in their hands, obviously they had gained a lot.

"My lord, your method really works!" The monkey said happily, "Since you took away the troublemakers in the morning, no one dared to default on paying taxes on purpose. It only took half a day, and the collection is almost done."

Qing Luo rubbed her chin and thought for a long time, then ordered: "Eat first, and then go out for a walk after eating. The merchants who shied away before but are now actively paying taxes will be collected again. The amount will be three times the previous amount. Come and figure it out."

The monkey's eyes widened.

Huang Catcher, who came in afterward, couldn't help but ask, "My lord, why is this?"

Although those merchants were a bit difficult to deal with, since they were able to pay the tax money in time, it was considered interesting.Is it necessary to give such a heavy punishment again?
The tax of merchants is higher than that of ordinary farmers.

During this period of time, the county magistrate's energy is mainly focused on the farmers, which has already made the merchants quite jealous.

Catcher Huang was worried that if she did so, it would cause a backlash from the merchants.

Qingluo just smiled: "You go ahead and make sure they don't dare to complain a word, so they will hand over the money. After the collection is over, it will be a tooth-beating sacrifice for the brothers. During this time, everyone has worked hard. After collecting the tax, I will give it to you. Take a day off."

The eyes of the servants immediately lit up.

The number of qualified merchants is not small, and triple the tax is not a small sum of money.

Even if all the servants are divided equally, the family has to live a good life.

"Go, finish work early and rest early."

One word from Qingluo caused the servants to get bloody, and they rushed out screaming.

Seeing the yamen servants disappear, Qing Luo, who had nothing to do, stood up and walked slowly to the backyard, but a drop of water fell on her forehead.

She wiped away the water droplets and raised her head in confusion.

Another drop fell on the eye.

It turned out to be raining.

In late autumn, the rain is cold and cold.

Su Xin came out holding an umbrella: "Miss, come in, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Okay." Qingluo nodded, and reached out to wipe the raindrops off her forehead with a handkerchief, but found that she was wearing an official uniform today, so she didn't wear a handkerchief.

The handkerchiefs that Su Xin prepared for her were all fresh in color and embroidered with fresh and elegant patterns.At first glance, it looks like something belonging to the daughter of the boudoir, which is very inconsistent with the heavy and dignified official uniform.

Entering the room, she walked to the bed, pulled out a plain white handkerchief, and was about to put it on her forehead, when she caught sight of the handwriting on the handkerchief out of the corner of her eye, she paused.

The vigorous and handsome handwriting is like a swimming dragon.

Qing Luo stared at the handkerchief for a while, wanting to let Su Xin throw it away, but she was a bit reluctant.

"Miss?" Cai He walked to her side and wiped her face with a soft and warm towel, "The meal is ready, do you want to eat now?"

"Oh, good." Qingluo came back to her senses, stuffed Supa into her sleeves, followed Caihe to the table, saw that there was only a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and asked, "Where is Zijin, why don't you come to eat?"

Su Xin was serving her soup, when she heard this, she replied, "Oh, Miss Chu said she has no appetite, so she stayed indoors to rest."

"Physical discomfort?"

"No, she said Miss was too cruel to let Baochai marry Baoyu and Daiyu die alone. She couldn't accept it and decided not to see you for three days." Su Xin replied with a smile.

"Oh, really?"
.
"She said unless Miss you rewrite the ending.",

"All stories have only one ending." Qing Luo shook her head indifferently, and picked up her rice bowl, "Have you prepared Lan Hao's meal?"

Cai He smiled in surprise: "So Miss doesn't know? Mr. Lan left the house half a month ago, and he said he will come back before you enter Beijing."

"Oh." Qing Luo buried her head in her job.

Too busy, she has forgotten about it.

It's rare to have the time to sit down and have a leisurely meal without troubles, big and small, Qing Luo smiled and said: "Since there are no outsiders, you all sit down and eat together, let's talk. Don't be too busy, Su Xin, Cai He Come and sit, let Guixiang come too..."

Su Xin turned her head back: "Miss forgot again."

Qing Luo was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that Gui Xiang had married Rong Cheng half a month ago and moved out.
