Chef Mad Queen

Chapter 1152
The little girl turned around and walked into the room, not forgetting to close the door. Feng Qian looked at Xuanyuan Che helplessly. After waiting for a while, she saw the little girl opened the door again, carrying a kettle and two large bowls, and walked away. out.

Feng Qian and Xuanyuan Che each took a big bowl, and while pouring water for them, the little girl looked at them curiously: "You are from outside the village, what are you doing here?"

Feng Qian didn't drink any water, but took the opportunity to ask: "Where are your family members? When I first entered the village, I saw many houses were closed. Where did they go?"

The little girl looked at them strangely, and said cautiously: "Many families in the village have moved out, and our family is going to move out too."

"Why did you move away? Isn't it good to stay here?" Feng Qian asked again.

The little girl said indignantly: "What's the good of staying here? All the crops that our family worked so hard to grow were bought by the officials at a low price. The money we earned is not enough to pay the annual tax!"

"There is such a thing?" Feng Qian was a little surprised. It seemed that the reasons for the large-scale relocation of the people were more complicated than she thought.

Xuanyuanche saw her thoughts and asked for her: "Little sister, what's the name of the official who bought your food? Also, didn't the imperial court promulgate a tax reduction policy, why do you still have to pay so much tax?"

The little girl snorted and said angrily: "The tax is exempted, but there are other miscellaneous taxes added. How much money you want to collect is not just a word of the official, just say as much as you want? Also, you guys The official I asked, I know his name, his name is Zhang De, he is the old man of our county, everyone calls him Zhang Papi, he is broken, everyone is afraid of him!"

"Zhang De..." Feng Qian memorized the name, finished drinking the water in the bowl, and returned the bowl to the little girl, "Little girl, tell your parents not to move, it won't be long before, You don't have to pay taxes."

The little girl looked confused, Feng Qian patted her on the head, smiled softly, and left with Xuanyuanche.

The little girl watched from afar, curious and suspicious: "Just now that pretty sister said, let's not move, what does that mean?"

After Feng Qian walked for a while, the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became: "If I hadn't visited the village in person today, I really wouldn't have known that the little official from Sesame Mung Bean would dare to be so greedy that the common people would all move out of their hometown!"

Xuanyuan Che is not surprised: "In this world, if there are good officials, there must be corrupt officials. No one can eliminate officials and ensure that every official used is clean and honest. That's why the law is needed."

"Doesn't the Ministry of Officials assess the achievements of officials every year? Has no one discovered what these corrupt officials are doing?" Feng Qian began to doubt the actions of the Ministry of Officials.

"I advise you not to be too optimistic, nor too pessimistic. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. It is almost impossible to make the world free of corrupt officials. All we can do is to supervise and improve it as much as possible, otherwise there will be no fish." Is there any meaning for the existence of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Xuanyuan Che's words were to the point, which benefited Feng Qian a lot. It was almost impossible for her to clarify the official management at once. All she could do was to do a good job in monitoring, find problems and solve them at any time. .

"Come on, let's meet Zhang De."

Feng Qian and Xuanyuan Che walked through halls and alleys to the county government office. Along the way, they attracted many curious eyes.

There is no way, the two of them have outstanding appearance and temperament, like a couple of gods, suddenly appearing in a remote village, it is impossible not to attract attention.

When the two came to the gate of the county government office, many people followed behind them, and they were even more curious when they saw them walking towards the county government office.

The servant of the county government was slightly surprised when he saw the two people walking in, and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in the county government?"

Feng Qian glanced around the county government office. The small county government office is quite impressive. The two stone lions standing at the door are made of high-quality stones. Qi, if it weren't for the size limit of the county government office, I am afraid that the building of this government office is even more generous than that of the government office.

"Where's Zhang De? Tell him to come out!"

As soon as the yamen servant heard someone calling your lord by his name, he immediately became vigilant, and looked at their clothes, whether they were rich or expensive, and worried whether they were high-ranking officials from the court, so he asked politely: "Two distinguished guests, who are you?" Where did it come from?"

"We are from..." Feng Qian paused, "We came from Xiyan Kingdom."

"Xiyan Kingdom?" The yamen servant felt like a mirror in his heart at the moment, and decided that they were definitely not court officials. Even if they were officials, they belonged to Xiyan Kingdom. How could they control them here? Their attitude changed accordingly, and they said in a dismissive tone, "My lord I'm busy, I don't have time to talk to you!"

Seeing his villainous face, Feng Qian immediately became angry: "Hey, you are a mere yamen servant with such an arrogant attitude, it's against you!"

The yamen servant was not afraid of them at all, he beckoned, and gathered a few people from the government yamen, surrounded Feng Qian and Xuanyuanche, the yamen servant said proudly: "Clean your eyes and see clearly, this is a government office, dare you Make trouble in the government office, believe it or not, beat you out with sticks?"

The rest of the yamen servants beat their killing sticks and gathered towards the two of them.

Feng Qian looked at them with a low smile, and in the next moment, all these people were overturned, and each of them fell to the ground.

From the corner of his eye, Xuanyuanche hardly even moved his hand. If Feng Qian hadn't leaned very close to him and could feel the fluctuation of his breath, otherwise no one would have known that it was him who moved his hand.

The yamen servants were all stunned, they didn't see the two of them make a move just now, but they all fell to the ground one by one, thinking they had seen a ghost, they looked at each other in blank dismay.

The yamen servant stammered, "You, who are you?"

Feng Qian didn't bother to pay attention to him, and went straight into the government office: "Since your lords don't want to come to see me, then I can only go to see your lords!"

Xuanyuanche followed behind her, his sleeves trembled, knocking down the yamen servant who was scrambling and trying to report the letter to the ground again.

Feng Qian rushed all the way into the mansion. The servants of the mansion had just seen the scene ahead. No one dared to stop her. She grabbed someone at random and asked Zhang De's residence, and someone immediately showed her the way.

Soon, Feng Qian found Zhang De's residence.

When approaching, I heard the sound of playing the piano from inside, mixed with the laughter of a woman.

Feng Qian wanted to kick the door in, but she was afraid that she would see dirty things and dirty her eyes, so she looked at Xuanyuan Che, thinking about letting him kick the door, but then she thought, no, I can't let him see Unclean things, he turned his head to look at the nearest servant behind him, and waved to him.

"Go, kick the door open for me!"

The servant was trembling, how could he dare, but when Feng Qian stared at him, he immediately stepped forward and kicked the door open.
