MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 291 repression

   "One is the common people, how much summer tax, autumn tax, labor service, and other taxes are paid this year. After asking, I will report a pair to the imperial palace to know whether the officials in this place are greedy or not, and how greedy they are."

   "The second is the businessman. Besides the common people, the businessman is best greedy for money. The businessman's tone is the best to inquire about, but it is also the most difficult. It depends on what price you want to pay."

   "The third is the subordinate officials. There is no one who knows better than them whether Shangguan is greedy or honest." Bai Yitang looked meaningfully at the round-faced little guard and said, "Do you think so?"

   "Then it is very difficult to determine whether a person is a corrupt official." The round-faced little guard frowned and said, "Master Bai, do you have enough time?"

  Bai Yitang sneered, "It may be difficult when Emperor Qianyuan, but what difficulties did it have when being the first emperor? Corrupt officials are not just looking for a right person, only the size of the greedy and cruel."

The round-faced little guard blushed, and the other guards blushed, but he couldn't refute. Everyone knew that the first emperor was very kind to courtiers, so nine of the ten corrupt officials in the local area were greedy, and the remaining one was not greedy. Or because he didn't take office.

  Emperor Qianyuan was the father of the previous emperor. Perhaps it was because of the hatred of the country and family.

Bai Yitang likes him very much. His master started to take over the position of the master during Emperor Qianyuan, which caused him not to open for several years. He could only rely on the worshippers of Lingtianmen to survive, and he wanted to drink. I also have to act as a merchant, selling goods from this place to another place, so as to earn some wine money.

He will only take action when he encounters a wealthy and unkind gentry, but because of the good management of officials during the Qianyuan period, in most cases, the master can solve the problem as long as he steals the evidence and throws it at the yamen. of ten.

   Mingming was so poor that he couldn't even afford a robe, but he was unwilling to steal more, preferring to hand it over to the government. It is also because of this that his sense of existence as the head of Lingtianmen is getting lower and lower, and maybe even he has almost forgotten the rules of Lingtianmen, so he has only accepted three apprentices.

   The longer he walked in the world, his heart did not become hard, but became softer and softer. Bai Yitang sighed for his master and Lingtianmen again.

  The master was really unlucky. He broke the rules of Lingtianmen by accepting an apprentice. The apprentices and grandchildren didn't worry about it. The two apprentices and grandchildren were ungrateful.

   Bai tutted twice and mourned for the master in his heart.

The    round-faced guard recovered from his shame and asked, "So General Zhang Boying is really a corrupt official, and you really only reported him because he was a corrupt official?"

  Bai Yitang pulled back the longer and longer thoughts, looked at the round-faced little guard sarcastically and said, "Zhang Boying can be regarded as the biggest corrupt official since the founding of this dynasty, do you think he shouldn't die?"

The    round-faced little guard couldn't help but excitedly said, "How does Bai Daxia know that he is the biggest corrupt official? It's not surprising that the Zhang family has a long-standing wealthy family. No matter how greedy he is, is he still as greedy as the Lan family?"

  It is a miracle to have officials who are not greedy when the late emperor, so the little round-faced guard did not justify Zhang Boying's lack of greed, but felt that it was unfair for Bai Yitang to regard Zhang Boying as the most greedy in the dynasty.

  Lan's house ransacked some time ago, and the Guards confiscated a lot of gold and silver from the Lan's house and other courtyards.

The gold is melted into the size of a square brick, and the silver is twenty-one ingots, fifty-two-one ingots of large silver bars, carts by carts to the treasury, and carts by carts of silk satin, jade and stone Antiques, etc. In those days, what the people of the capital loved most was guarding the road from the Lan family to the palace, watching the guards **** the mule carts.

  It took eight days for the Lan family to raid the house, and the little round-faced guard also went to join in the fun. The Lan family is a huge greedy person, and you must know that his family was originally just a mill.

Bai Yitang sneered and said, "How can the Lan family be compared with Zhang Boying? Most of the things that the Lan family embezzled are donations from businessmen and officials. In addition, they use Concubine Lan's convenience to do business, or embezzle the treasures of the internal treasury. But Zhang Boying was able to take the cavalry directly to encircle and suppress the border people as the Tartar troop, encircling hundreds of thousands of acres of fields. Do you think Zhang Boying is stronger, or the Lan family is stronger?"

   The round-faced little guard turned pale, "General Zhang killed Liang and took credit?"

"Apart from the property that I took away, the Zhang residence is no less than the one who confiscated the Lan family. There is no record in your file? Then there is only one possibility. Pocket," Bai Yitang sneered, "it's just a change of pocket, it's useless if Zhang Boying is dead."

   The little round-faced guard opened his mouth and couldn't say anything to refute. Zhang Boying was still a child when he died, of course he didn't know anything about the past.

   But he admired Zhang Boying in private, because he was considered outstanding among the generals, and he defeated the attacking Tatar army many times.

  As a military attache, he admired Zhang Boying, and felt that it was too wrong for him to be beheaded because of a thief, so Bai Yitang's senses have not been very good.

But now when he thinks that some of those people may be from the borders of Great Chu, the round-faced little guard turns pale. He doesn't doubt Bai Yitang's words, because the past few days of getting along with him has made him faintly know that Bai Yitang will not be involved in this kind of thing. lie.

   The chief guard on the side sighed slightly when he saw it, and sympathetically pulled the little round-faced guard up, and said, "Go, go up with me to rest, it will definitely be a big battle in a while."

   Letting him stay with Bai again will only be more exciting.

Although he has never met Zhang Boying, he has heard about him. The elders in the family occasionally mention it, so he knows better. Zhang Boying is indeed very good at fighting and has military talents, but he loves money too much. , act ruthlessly.

   The first emperor could endure it, and if he changed to Emperor Qianyuan, I was afraid that the entire Zhang family would have to be buried with Zhang Boying. At this point, he really couldn't say that Bai Yitang did something wrong.

   After watching the excitement, Bai Yitang stared happily at the round-faced little guard, and the head guard became even more anxious.

   He looked down on Bai Yitang, but he was a Jianghu person, or a Jianghu person who was a thief, but...

Of course, Bai Yitang knew that they didn't like him. At that time, the captain of the bodyguard was well deserved in front of the emperor. When he walked out of the palace gate, his face was cold. of contempt.

   Bai Yitang is a young man, who dares to give him a look except his master?

  The guards who were named were all the same as him. Although they respected him on their faces, the contempt in their eyes was never concealed.

  Since this is the case, he will not borrow people from Qin Xinfang. Anyway, the emperor has to listen to everything he says. In this case, he will use them as handymen.

   They are responsible for escorting the car, exploring the way, guarding the goods, and even three meals a day. If they can enter the town when they are staying, they will be asked to run errands to buy this, which one to buy, or not to sell? beat!

  To set up a camp, he had to set up a tent for him, have a barbecue and find water to wash him, and even threw his dirty clothes for them to wash.

broken?

  It's okay, I don't mind wearing yours.

  The guards felt ashamed to protect a Jianghu person, and they were so angry that they were asked to do so many things.

   But what can be done?

   Fighting alone, none of them can beat Baiyi, group fight?

   Stop making trouble, can they still block Bai Yitang?

   It's not that they haven't tried it, but they didn't even touch a piece of the corner of their clothes, and this man disappeared in such a way that he almost didn't scare them into a cold sweat.

  The emperor sent them to protect Bai Yitang, one is for protection, the other is for surveillance, and the third is to pull back those account books of Lingtianmen.

   These three items, no matter which one is missing Bai Yitang, can't be done. If you lose people, what is the difference between that and losing their heads?

  The guards hurriedly searched for him, and finally, three days later, this master sat on a tree branch with a roast chicken and watched them busy with their work, and the look in his eyes was extremely contemptuous.

   Is it easy to catch a thief who can enter and exit Zhang's residence under Zhang Boying's subordinates, and even throw things into the palace quietly?

   It is said that the reason why Zhang Boying was able to catch Bai Yitang was because of the betrayal of his brothers and sisters. Now where can they find someone who can lure people into deception?

So the guards could only pinch their noses and apologize to Bai, begging him not to run around like grandpa and grandma, stay in the team and let them protect them. They will never dare to disobey his orders in the future. East, they definitely don't go west.

So after entering Kaifeng Mansion, Bai Yitang asked them to move all the boxes into the room, and they had to move things like handymen. They could be angry, but they couldn't show contempt anymore, so as not to provoke this master again. .

   The head guard escorted the little round-faced guard upstairs to avoid disputes between the two sides. He meant to leave the two to "protect" Bai Yitang, and the rest went upstairs to rest.

   As for whoever protects the three people downstairs, he doesn't care.

   The two guards who stayed behind saw that Bai Yitang liked the door of the inn so much, so they also turned around and entered the shop and brought two chairs to sit next to him, learning how to enjoy the street scene with his legs crossed.

One of the guards also said very considerately: "Master Bai, do you want Xiao Er to bring us some sauce elbows? It is said that the sauce elbows in their store are not bad." ."

  Bai Yitang nodded happily, turned his head and shouted into the inn, "Little Er, come with three pots of sauce."

   "Wait," the guard stopped him, sweating profusely, "Is the sauce elbow here pressed on the basin?"

   Bai Yitang despised him, "A big man can't even finish a pot of sauce elbows?"

  The guard was angry, did he mean that?

   How much does a pot of soy sauce cost, and you can come for three pots!

   seemed to know what he was thinking, Bai Yitang said: "Don't worry, the sauce is calculated by the pound, how expensive is 60 wen per pound?"

  The guard sighed in relief, and waved his hand generously: "Three pots are just three pots, everyone, don't be polite to me."

  Little Er replied: "Guest officer, are you here for the large basin or the medium basin?"

   "Since it's all in pots, then of course it's a big pot."

  Bai Yitang silently swallowed the word "中" back, a smile flashed in his eyes, what a bunch of deceitful guards, his disciples have never been so silly and sweet.

  Two taels of silver certainly can't save a hundred people, because in a disaster area, white rice cannot be bought for twenty cents a pound.

   And of course a pot of sauce elbow will not be cheap, because it is heavy! ! !

When Xiao Er brought a long table in front of them, and when he went in and brought out a large basin, the two guards opened their mouths, and the guard who called for a treat swallowed and asked, "This is three basins. Did you make a pot together?"

  The shopkeeper who was depressed because the three were sitting at the door swept away his previous depression, raised his chin and said, "Of course not, our shop is innocent, and if it is a big basin, it is a big basin."

   "That's right!" Xiao Er let out a grin and said brightly, "Don't worry, guest, our basin is definitely big enough."

   The old blood in the guard's chest almost spit out, but he couldn't change his mouth and said no, he could only silently watch the little Er hold the three big pots of sauce elbows out.
