Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 47

"Before the Li family collapsed, people's hearts were scattered. It seems that it's time to clean up the Li mansion. There are too many idlers in the mansion."

The incident with this maid made Li Xiuyuan feel very bad.

No one wants to see such a white-eyed wolf appearing in his house.

You know, Li Xiuyuan thought that he treated the servants of Fushan very well. He didn't abuse them, didn't abuse them, and he didn't kill that servant. Instead, he gave each servant a lot of money every month. , Let them save up, and when they go out of the house in the future, they can find a good family, marry a wife and have children, and pass on the family line. Thinking about it, it is a good thing with infinite merit.

But today there was only a little bit of turmoil in Li's mansion, and some maidservants took away the belongings and were about to escape.

If the Li Mansion is really in decline, I'm afraid there will be more than one such thing happening.

Li Xiuyuan also knew that people in the mansion would be panicked and uneasy, so he returned to the mansion first to calm people's hearts, and after giving some orders, he immediately left for the county government.

To be honest, he rarely dealt with the government.

However, the previous county magistrate was also a wise official. Although he was a little lazy, he still managed Guobei County well. The grievances and cases were handled in a timely manner. If you don't violate the river, he will be his official, and the Li family will run the business of the Li family.

As for the imperial court's taxes, the Li family did not miss a penny, and they sent them on time every year.

But this magistrate Liu is a restless master.

As soon as he came to Guobei County, the gate fee was charged, and then Li Xiuyuan heard that the tax in Guobei County had been increased, which had exceeded the court's law.

It's not that the Li family didn't respond to this. In the first half of this year, the county magistrate Liu couldn't receive a grain of rice.

Three generations of the Li family have run Guobei County, including Li Xiuyuan's generation, the fourth generation. Which of the fields in the nearby villages is not owned by the Li family?
Like Xiahe Village, the fields cultivated by all the villagers in Xiahe Village belong to the Li family, and they are just laborers of the Li family.

Without the Li family speaking, which yamen servant would dare to go to the village to demand the payment of the land tax?

Perhaps it was because of the beginning of this incident that the magistrate Liu made a ruthless move, directly slandered Li Xiuyuan's father, Li Dafu, and sent someone to arrest Li Dafu in a cell.

The county government office in Guobei County faces south. There are two stone lions in front of the gate, and there is a huge drum to cry out grievances next to it. There are guards at the gate.

Li Xiuyuan walked to the door and said, "This officer, please trouble me to inform that the Li family's Li Xiuyuan visited County Magistrate Liu to inquire about my father Li Dafu's case."

The guard looked at Li Xiuyuan with a hesitant expression, as if he didn't want to go in and report.

"Hey, Eldest Young Master, why do you have time to come to the yamen today? Isn't Eldest Young Master never going into the Yamen?"

Suddenly, a lazy voice sounded, but a dark and short man in the uniform of the team leader came out swayingly.

"Black Three?" Li Xiuyuan frowned.

Hei San laughed and said, "It's not Hei San anymore, it's the third master. The young master has seen if I have this clothes on. From now on, I will take care of the entry and exit of this yamen."

"You want to prevent me from going in?" Li Xiuyuan said.

He had heard Xu Butou mention before that this black triad fell to County Magistrate Liu, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, the gangster black triad would actually become the team leader of the Guobei county government office.

It's fast enough.

"Don't dare, don't dare, there is no place in Guobei County where the young master can't go, the young one dare not stop it, but this yamen also has the rules of the yamen, the young master won't understand." Hei San laughed and said, He pointed out his finger.

Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "Do you dare to take my money?"

"Yeah, the young master's prestige, just based on the young master's words, others only need ten taels, and the young master gets 100 taels." Hei San grinned and said; "The Li family is a wealthy family, presumably the two young masters will not let go of the 100 taels." In the eyes."

"Black three, some money can be taken, but some money can't be taken." Li Xiuyuan stared at him and said.

Hei San said: "Eldest young master, the younger ones don't understand. Money is money, so there is nothing you can take or not. If the young master doesn't give you the money, then don't blame the young one for not giving it to the young master." Save face, I'm sorry I can't do anything about this notification."

"I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be a fool. That magistrate Liu can protect you forever? Or do you think my Li family is easy to deal with?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"Go, go, if Eldest Young Master doesn't have any money with you, go back and get it quickly, don't argue with me here, I don't have time." Hei San waved impatiently.

"Hei San, because you have done things for my Li family before, I will give you a chance to inform me that I don't have to pursue you. If you are stubborn, don't blame me for being cruel."

"Yo, the young master will also speak harshly, but the third master is really not afraid, have you seen this?" Hei San pointed to his clothes: "A serious county government official works, but what the young master said It tastes good enough, but if you want to enter the yamen again, you have to pay this amount."

"1 million taels."

Li Xiuyuan was not angry at the moment, but smiled lightly; "Interesting, a person who wants money but not life."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Hei San, don't be like this, he is the young master of the Li family, if you offend him, something will happen." The yamen servant next to him said with some fear.

"Hey, I'm afraid of being a bird. Didn't you see that Li Xiuyuan also walked away? What is the young master of the Li family? You only call him young master when you give him face. If you don't give him face, you are just a merchant disciple. If you dare to fight against the yamen, you are courting death." " Hei San spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and said disdainfully.

But seeing that Li Xiuyuan was driven away by him, he felt a little ecstatic again.

That is the young master of the Li family, a well-known figure in Guobei County, but he still has to bow his head in front of his official uniform.

Li Xiuyuan didn't leave, but walked to a shop of his own near the county government office, and gave orders.

Soon, a young man ran out of the shop and disappeared.

After a while, a man came to the Yamen and shouted, "Where is Hei San? Get out, Lao Tzu."

"What's your name? Your third master is here." Hei San yawned and walked out from the door.

The man pulled out his waist knife and slashed at Hei San.

Hei San suddenly screamed, a leg was torn open immediately, and blood gushed out immediately.

"Eldest young master, is it enough?" The man dragged Hei San from the gate of the yamen, and asked instead.

Li Xiuyuan came out from nowhere, and said indifferently: "His hands are too dark, I cut off one of his hands."

"Okay." The big man stepped on the black three's arm, swiped his waist knife, and chopped off a palm.

"Ah~!" Hei San screamed again, and immediately spurted blood wildly.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "That's fine, let's surrender."

"Yes."

The big man cupped his hands, just dropped his waist knife, and muttered: "I, Han Meng, fought with Hei San, injured his leg, cut off his hand, and came to the Yamen to surrender."

The other yamen servants at the yamen looked at each other in blank dismay, all of them shocked.

"What the hell, what are you doing there? Why don't you come and arrest me? How are you working on errands?" Han Meng shouted.

"Eldest, young master, who is this?" A yamen servant asked nervously and respectfully.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at Hei San who was still wailing on the ground and said: "It's nothing, it's just that my temper has come up and I'm a little impulsive, it's better to restrain myself next time."

impulse?

This is all about killing Black Three.

The yamen servant's heart trembled.

I really didn't expect the Li family to have such ruthless means, and they cleaned up the black three in a short time.

No, it should be said that the young master of the Li family is ruthless.

Everyone in Guobei County said that the young master of the Li family was kind-hearted and a good person, but they never thought that the young master of the Li family had such a dark side.
