Divine Doctor and Farmer's Girl: Buy a husband to farm

Chapter 1499 Ah Wu's Guess

Lu Qi ordered Bai Ze to be released.

Ah Wu didn't understand: "Father, why did you do this? I haven't investigated it clearly yet, so I'm afraid it won't convince the public."

Lu Qidao: "Didn't you say that his parents are already sick in bed? If there is something wrong with his parents because of unjust imprisonment, I'm afraid he will be discouraged."

"Father, what do you mean," A Wu said, "I recognize Bai Ze very much, so I have a heart of love?"

"I just talked to him in a few words, how do I know how much talent he has?" Lu Qidao, "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and it takes a long time to see people's hearts. Preconceived ideas can't be the main thing."

Ah Wu: "...you wait to preach, you tell me first, why did you order Bai Ze to be released?"

"Entrusted by others."

"Who?"

"Mr. Ji."

Ah Wu was shocked, "Mr. Ji? Which Mr. Ji?"

"How many Mr. Ji do you know?"

"Mr. Ji from the academy?"

"Ah."

Ah Wu was puzzled, "But Mr. Ji has been fighting with his brother for so many years, and he has been making suggestions. It seems that he has never been to Shanxi. How did he know Bai Ze?"

"Mr. Ji has a younger brother who is said to be very resourceful. He is known as Mr. Yao. He was even said to surpass Mr. Ji, but he is indifferent to fame and wealth, and has been living in Yangzhou in seclusion, refusing to become an official."

"Yangzhou?" Ah Wu regained her spirits, because this is Shang Niyi's hometown.

Bai Ze, the Yangzhou master who interceded for him, and Shang Niyi seemed to be strung together at once.

"Well, Bai Ze once sent the article to Yangzhou to ask Mr. Yao to read it, and the two exchanged letters, forming a long-term friendship."

"Oh. Has Bai Ze never been there?"

"I probably haven't been there before. Because Mr. Yao said that he has been friends with him for a long time. If Bai Ze goes to Jiangnan, he will definitely visit him."

"Oh."

Now I know more and more news, but it is getting more and more foggy.

Ah Wu decided to temporarily put aside her guesses about Shang Niyi, get rid of her imagination, and only look at the reality.

Mr. Yao had never begged Mr. Ji, but just for this Wangnian confession, and gave him a guarantee, so Lu Qi let Bai Ze go.

Not only for Mr. Yao's face, but also for cherishing talents - it is definitely not mediocrity that Mr. Yao can admire so much.

It rained for two days in a row, and it finally cleared up on the third day. Ah Wu took Qing Wan out to find a place to collect taxes.

She has seen the fire of silver and fire, and she has seen it all, and she is so angry that she trembles all over.

The official in charge of collecting grain was surnamed Lu, and he didn't know what rank he was. Sitting there with his legs crossed, he looked like a grandpa watching his servants bully the people.

"My lord, please be merciful." More than one woman cried and begged those petty officials.

But what they got in exchange was their ruthless ridicule.

What's more, when she molested good women in the street, Ah Wu was furious, and she wished she could go up and kick them all down immediately.

However, she still endured it, to see how crazy they could be.

Her brilliance finally erupted when she saw a widow bringing two children to hand over the grain, but was kicked away by nearly half of the grain by the petty officials.

"Stop it!" Ah Wu said angrily.

Amidst the noisy voices, her yelling was still deafening.

Lord Lu narrowed his eyes.

A small official said: "Who are you? Dare to point fingers here! We are collecting taxes and running imperial errands, not playing around. If you dare to stop, Xiaoxin will lock you up!"

He originally wanted to push and push, but seeing that Ah Wu's aura was unusual, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he only dared to test it out.

A Wu said coldly: "You also know that this is tax collection, not a joke. In the name of the emperor, is this how you bully women and children?"

"What do you know!" Mr. Lu stood up, stroked his goatee, and said, "Is it up to you to tell me what to do with the imperial life wheel? I think you should come from a wealthy family with the clothes you wear. This matter has nothing to do with you. Mind your own business."

Ah Wu looked at the emerald green ring on his hand, the jadeite was of excellent quality, and it was absolutely impossible to buy it without a few hundred taels of silver.

"Let me ask my lord first," Ah Wu said coldly, "I keep saying that I am doing business for the emperor, so how dare I ask if my lord is a first-rank or second-rank official?"

Mr. Lu's face suddenly became embarrassing, and there was a cold light in his eyes, "This official is an eighth-rank sesame official, and it's not something you can ask!"

"Eight rank, it turned out to be eighth rank. Looking at your appearance, I thought you were already an extremely human minister." A Wu said, "A mere eighth rank official dares to openly search for people's fat and people's ointment here."

"Nonsense! This is the rule of all dynasties. Don't ruin my reputation. Who are you?"

Ah Wu is powerful, Master Lu is a little weak, his eyes are rolling, probably guessing her identity.

"I'm a grain merchant who came to collect grain." Ah Wu said, "But I'm not used to seeing you oppressing the people like this. Don't talk about the old rules. Look at your fat head and big ears. You have not been greedy for the people's grain before."

"After the emperor ascended the throne, he didn't make a decree to change it." Mr. Lu said plausibly.

"That's because the emperor doesn't know about you moths at all. Master Lu, I advise you to stop as soon as possible. The emperor may not be to blame for the past, but if you think about it in the future, you should weigh it first. Is your head on your neck secure? .”

Ah Wu, a foreigner who dares to speak like that, could it be an imperial envoy visiting in private?

"My lord," Mr. Lu didn't dare to be frivolous anymore, but he didn't smile with him, and said with a dull face, "I just follow the old rules, if I have to be punished, then I'm afraid the emperor doesn't have any officials to collect food. There will be massacres everywhere."

"If you dare to covet people's fat and people's anointing, so what if you kill them!" Ah Wu said proudly.

"Young master, please report your name, so as not to neglect you." Lu Da said humanely.

"It doesn't matter who I am, I just tell you that the emperor will not allow you to do this."

Speaking of this, Ah Wu still refused to reveal her identity, Master Lu suspected that he was playing tricks.

"If the emperor makes an order, we should obey it. But the young master came from somewhere to point fingers, so it's unreasonable." Mr. Lu said with a smile on his face.

"Then you have to wait for a few more days until the emperor's imperial decree comes down." Ah Wu said impatiently.

Following her temper, she directly chopped them off.

But after thinking about it, what the surnamed Lu said was not completely unreasonable. They followed the old rules. Although they were brazen, it was difficult to punish them directly.

Ah Wu also doesn't care about him for the time being, the source is the most important.

"Who can bear the crime of delaying the collection of taxes?" Mr. Lu sneered, "If you go to the peak, you will show your identity; if you make trouble for no reason, be careful that I will not be polite to you."

"You're not polite to me?" Ah Wu sneered again and again, "Then you try. Qing Wan, take my sword!"

"Yes, Grandpa."
