The Golden County Magistrate

Wei Han was very anxious and said subconsciously: "I didn't lie! But I..."

Chen Yan's heart brightened and he asked: "What is it?"

Wei Han opened her mouth wide, but she didn't say a word.

After a while, her expression gradually became strange, and suddenly she covered her pretty face and cried.

Chen Yan was stunned.

"Master Chen, it's my fault. I shouldn't be impulsive, woo woo..."

"You should also blame me. I hurt you and our boss, woo woo..."

"I won't drag you down. Please don't break off contact with Zhou's Chamber of Commerce. I will go to the government by myself, woo woo..."

Qian Wu in front of him was heartbroken when he heard the crying.

Especially Wei Han has always given him a particularly strong feeling, but was knocked down by the cruel reality. The strong contrast is even more distressing!

Obviously, the other party was wrong first, why should such a poor girl like her bear such a heavy responsibility!

In the car, Chen Yan looked at her with a dark face.

He is an old fox, and he has been practicing for thousands of years. How can he not see that this girl is acting a sad drama?

What kind of personality does she have? Not to mention a little grievance, even if it is a broken arm, I am afraid she will cry like this?

And it is obvious that she knows that her acting skills are not good enough, so she covered her face for fear of being found out.

Wei Han dared to beat Xiong Jin just now, which made him suspicious.

Everyone knows that the people should not fight with the officials. Although the seventh-rank county magistrate is not a high-ranking official, he is still an official.

Ordinary people see officials like mice see cats, so this girl's behavior is really unreasonable.

It feels that she is even tougher than her boss, Miss Zhou, when she sees the officials!

For this reason, Chen Yan deliberately stimulated her constantly to test her bottom line.

Just when he was about to reveal his true feelings, the girl actually realized what was happening. Not only did she stop talking, she also put on a show to fool him.

Well, whatever!

If you want to act, I will act with you!

"Miss Wei, alas, why are you doing this?"

"I am also kindhearted and know that you have been wronged."

"Come on, stop crying."

Chen Yan stood up and walked to her side, reaching out to hold her in his arms.

Wei Han, who was crying with her face covered, froze all over!

He actually... hugged her? !

But she was secretly happy in her heart.

It seems that this guy believes in his play, so continue!

She didn't struggle, and fell into his arms and continued crying.

Because she was afraid that he would find out that she was acting, she didn't dare to show her face to him, and simply buried her pretty face in his chest so that he couldn't see it.

"It breaks my heart to hear that, it's really pitiful." Chen Yan was secretly happy in his heart, and his two hands moved as if to comfort her.

Wei Han was a girl after all, and soon she couldn't stand it anymore and started to tremble.

In terms of trickery, she was no match for Chen Yan, and she didn't know whether to struggle or let him do whatever he wanted, and she hesitated.

Chen Yan pushed forward and became more and more bold.

Wei Han couldn't stand it, and just when she was blushing and about to explode, Qian Wu outside suddenly said, "Sir, we have arrived at Wuyin City!"

Chen Yan stopped, coughed lightly, and pushed her away: "We are here, Miss Wei, I understand your difficulties. We will talk about this later, and for your sake, the business with Zhou's Chamber of Commerce will remain the same for the time being."

Wei Han breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Thank you, Sir Chen!"

Just now, her left hand had grabbed Chen Yan's waist, and she was about to pinch him. With Chen Yan's body, it is estimated that this will keep him out of bed for half a month!

Of course, if this really goes on, the business cooperation between Qingshan County and Zhou's Chamber of Commerce will be over.

Chen Yan lay back on his recliner, lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside.

Wuyin City is indeed the capital of the state, with people coming and going, so lively.

Wei Han on the other side took the opportunity to tidy up her clothes, her cheeks still a little hot. This was the first time in her life that she had such close contact with the opposite sex, which made her feel uneasy.

What's even more strange is that the fat guy just looked at her a few times and said a few words verbally, but she couldn't stand it and took action directly.

But at this moment, she found that she couldn't get angry at all after Chen Yan's actions.

Could it be that she really...

Wei Han quickly suppressed this uneasy thought, looked outside, and said in surprise: "Is Wuyin City so prosperous?"

Looking out of the city, there are at least thousands of people, and even a market has been formed, with people coming and going.

Even in the capital, it's not so lively outside the city. Wuyin City can't be more prosperous than the capital.

"Hehe, Miss Wei seems to have not seen through the mystery." Chen Yan smiled meaningfully.

"Mystery?" Wei Han was a little surprised.

"You will understand what's going on soon." Chen Yan saw the carriage passing by.The crowd said something when they arrived at the city gate.

Soon, the carriage passed through the city gate smoothly and entered the prefecture of Longzhou.

In contrast, the city was much calmer. Although there were also people on the streets, they were sparsely populated. There were less than a hundred people on the entire long street.

"Sir Chen, why is the city not as lively as the outside?" Wei Han asked with doubts.

"What did Miss Wei see when she entered the city just now?" Chen Yan asked instead of answering.

"The other side has twelve soldiers at the city gate, and there should be about twenty more in the city gate tower." Wei Han said without thinking, "There should be about sixty more on the city gate tower, including the patrol soldiers."

"What are you looking at..." Chen Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could this girl act like a spy and pay special attention to other people's military arrangements?

Little did he know that Wei Han had developed a habit from fighting. Whenever she arrived at a place, she would first observe the other side's military distribution and military arrangements to find weaknesses.

Of course, she heard that Chen Yan was not asking about this, so she could only say, "I really didn't pay much attention to the rest."

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "The city entry tax is five taels of silver."

Wei Han said in a lost voice: "What! How can it be so high!"

Chen Yan is an official with an official letter, so he doesn't need to pay to enter the city.

But it's different for other people. Basically, every city in Da Zhou has a city entry tax, and the amount varies.

Originally, this is normal. After all, the construction of the city is costly and labor-intensive. People from other places who want to enjoy the superior living environment in the city should naturally pay some money.

However, the city entry tax usually ranges from hundreds of coins to one tael of silver. Some prosperous places are higher, about two or three taels of silver.

Like Lianggu County, the current city entry tax is only two qian of silver.

Of course, the fundamental reason is not that Xiong Jin is kind-hearted, but because no one really enters the city...

In the past, the city entry tax in Lianggu County was two taels of silver for a long time. This led to a significant decrease in the number of people who wanted to enter the city to do business. In the end, almost no one entered the city, and Xiong Jin had to lower the city entry tax.

In fact, the city entry tax of each county in Longzhou was between one and five coins. Before Chen Yan took over, Qingshan County even only collected ten coins, which was so low that people could enter and exit at will without spending any money.

But Wuyin City dared to collect five taels, which was even higher than the city entry tax in the capital!
