"Strange, why do I think I have seen this Lord Shangshu somewhere?"
After watching everyone leave, Tan Cai murmured to himself, although he had this feeling, but after thinking about it carefully, he racked his brains and couldn't think of where he had encountered it. He had no choice but to pretend that he had beaten himself into a false sense.
.
Snap.
Tan Cai turned around and suddenly gave two guards a hard fight, and yelled, "Master, leave, why don't you follow my example of saying farewell in salutations."
Hiss.
After speaking in one breath, with a heavy pronunciation, Tan Cai inhaled in pain, then touched his bloated face and hurriedly walked towards the house.
The two guards were stunned by the slap in the face. After watching Tan Cai enter the house, they looked at each other, and one of them whispered: "This old dog must have been beaten up by Master Shangshu, and he is taking out his anger on us two."
!”
Another person said: "You still have to say, fuck/his grandma."
"He has sinister eyebrows and rat eyes, a fat waist and a fat body. He has the word "corrupt official" written all over his body. Anyone who looks at him thinks he is not a good person, let alone Master Shangshu!"
"You're right. People like this will undoubtedly be reincarnated as mice in their next life."
…
After being slapped innocently, the two guards were furious. At first, they greeted Tan Cai, his family, and his ancestors cordially.
On the way to find the inn, Lei Ming suddenly said: "Why do I think you are so concerned about what you just called greedy for money and carrying private goods? When you go to other counties, you usually don't even bother to go to the county magistrate's office, let alone go out of your way to investigate corruption.
"
"This guy talks about money, has a sinister look, and is as fat as a pig. He almost says I am a corrupt official written all over his face. He looks so arrogant and dares to openly deceive me. I can't even give him a try if I don't give him a try."
Appearance." Li Xiaotian said, feeling puzzled in his heart. Lei Ming's mind is usually rusty, but why is he so smart today? Can he see his little thoughts?
"Although what you said makes sense, you still haven't explained why you want to go to the county magistrate's office?" Lei Ming asked for more details.
Li Xiaotian asked: "Really want to know?"
"think."
Before Lei Ming could answer, Geng Nian said directly.
"It's not a big secret, but if you want me to tell you, I'm afraid it will cost you a little money." Li Xiaotian said slyly, rubbing the threads of his thumb and index finger.
"Ten thousand gold coins is enough."
With that said, Lei Ming took out a golden ticket from Lei's Chamber of Commerce from his storage bag and gave it to Li Xiaotian.
"The boss is very generous, this must be enough." Li Xiaotian said in a mean manner, grabbing the golden ticket: "To be honest, Wenzhou is my hometown, and I just simply want to do something for the people in my hometown.
Just something."
Lei Ming suddenly realized and said: "I see, no wonder you looked like you were familiar with the roads as soon as you entered Wenzhou."
"Do you believe this?"
The shock in Li Xiaotian's heart couldn't be increased. Although he was telling the truth, as a normal person, shouldn't he reflexively feel that he was perfunctory? I really don't know whether he is smart or an idiot. Maybe
This is the legendary great wisdom as foolish as it is.
While they were talking, everyone came to the door of Tongfu Inn and chose this inn to stay.
At night, the Milky Way is like a veil, the full moon shines in the sky, and the stars are like spring water.
There was a person sitting on the large beam on the roof of Tongfu Inn. Sometimes he looked at the moon in a daze, sometimes he looked at the distance in a daze, and from time to time he picked up a wine bottle and drank alone, feeling sadness overflowing all over his body.
Needless to say, it was Li Xiaotian who was feeling sad while drinking on the rooftop. People say that he is more timid when he is close to his hometown.
His simplicity and kindness made him feel missed, but everything could never go back. Thinking of this, Li Xiaotian's eyes turned red, and he secretly vowed in his heart: No matter what the truth is, no matter who the murderer is, no matter how powerful he is, he will definitely make him pay.
cost!
At this thought, Li Xiaotian looked solemn and poured the wine into a bowl as a sacrifice.
"I said, there is no need to be so moved when you go back to your hometown." Lei Ming suddenly went up to the roof, looked at Li Xiaotian's unhappy look, and said half-jokingly.
"How did you know I was up here?" Li Xiaotian asked, regaining his mood, and took out a jug of wine from the bag and threw it to Lei Ming.
Lei Ming firmly caught the wine bottle and said: "You have the nerve to ask me, you are sitting in my wing, can I not notice it? I just didn't expect that you are drinking to drown your sorrows. Logically speaking, you are a practitioner
The crazy demon should be channeling his energy to practice."
Li Xiaotian replied: "I haven't been back for a few years. It's my hometown. I don't have any acquaintances. Things have changed and people have changed. Do you know this feeling?"
"You should be able to understand it. It's like I went from being the darling of the family to being abandoned by the family in an instant. The feeling is probably about the same." Lei Ming teased himself.
"right."
I don’t know when Geng Nian appeared, but a word suddenly appeared.
Li Xiaotian and Lei Ming were startled and looked behind them in unison, only to see Gengnian standing in the dusk, looking at the two of them with interest.
"When did you come up again?" Lei Ming asked this time.
Gengnian pointed at Lei Ming's feet and said, "My room."
The two were speechless.
Just like this, there were three people sitting on a beam. Li Xiaotian and Lei Ming sat on both sides, and Geng Nian sat in the middle. The three of them rarely talked to each other and just looked at the quiet night sky quietly. Whoever wanted to drink raised the wine bottle.
The two of them consciously drank together.
There was no conversation all night until dawn, and the three of them sat and drank all night long.
Fortunately, the three of them are monks, not lay people. Drinking all night long, for them, there is no discomfort at all, and they don't even need to rest. You know, once they start practicing, it is common for them to spend ten days and a half, just one night.
Not sleeping is a piece of cake.
Wenzhou is not far from Hengzhou, but it took more than half a day's journey for the group to reach their destination.
As is the old rule, before entering the city, Li Xiaotian first inquired about the taxes with the people he interacted with. Compared to the corrupt officials in other states, Hengzhou Prefecture was considered clean, and the taxes only increased by 20%. It can be seen that this state has
Mu is a cowardly corrupt official. He wants to be greedy but dare not be too greedy. The amount of corruption here is only compared to that of Mu in other states. According to the total population of Hengzhou, there are at least more than 100,000 gold coins and hundreds of thousands.
Gold coins are an astronomical figure for ordinary people, not to mention that these are their hard-earned money.
When entering a city, identify yourself.
After entering the city, go straight to the city government.
This time, Li Xiaotian was shocked by the raid.
Hengzhou Prefectural Shepherd's name is Shan Xiao, and he lives up to his name. When he heard about Li Xiaotian's thunderous behavior in his big city, he was so frightened that he trembled. As early as three days ago, he ran away at night. This Shan Xiao
He was a ruthless person. He escaped alone and quietly. He abandoned his family and children without even knowing it. He knew that there were too many gold coins and property to take with him, so he simply took out a few hundred gold coins. If nothing happened,
With these few hundred gold coins, you can live quite well in the secular world and have no worries for the rest of your life.
