[The second thousand and eighty-fifth chapters take the bait]
at the dinner table.
Song Yan, Cai Xueji, Li Xiner, and Xiao Yuer were having dinner together. As for Genbo, Song Yan asked him to eat together many times. His concept of master and servant is too strong. No matter what he said, the other party would not come to the table with them. eat together.
It was Xiao Yuer’s age, the concept of master and servant in her mind was not strong, and Cai Xueji always treated her as a younger sister, so she did not refuse to eat with her uncle and miss.
As for Li Xiner, although she was Song Yan’s maid for the time being, how could she, the dignified saint of the Black Heaven Sect, consider herself inferior.
Finish a meal.
Li Xiner planned to clean up the tableware with Xiao Yuer, but Song Yan called her to his side and said, “Let’s go.”
“Why?” Li Xiner asked subconsciously.
“Why, you are addicted to being a maid!” Song Yan played with his taste.
“Is my master here?” Li Xin’er reacted, and she was even more curious about whether Song Yan had played against her master, and if they fought, who would win and who would lose.
“Yes, he’s here!” Song Yan nodded.
“Sir Song, thank you!”
Li Xiner bowed to Song Yan.
“Go!”
Song Yan waved his hand.
Immediately, Li Xiner went to say goodbye to Cai Xueji and Xiao Yuer before leaving the inn.
Not far from walking out of the inn, Li Xiner saw her master, Shangguanji, the leader of the Black Sky Sect.
“Girl, let you suffer!”
Shangguanji touched Li Xiner’s head and said.
“Master, in fact, that dog officer didn’t bully his disciple!” Li Xiner said.
“That’s good, let’s go, follow me to Islam!” Shangguan nodded his head, but his eyes were full of pity.
“Um!”
Then, the two turned into two black shadows and disappeared into the night.
Song Yan also withdrew his divine sense.
night.
After an exercise, Song Yan hugged Cai Xueji, who was limp in his arms, and Chen Youniang’s face flashed in his mind. I’m afraid that silly girl is still waiting for him at home.
There is also another senior sister from Panyang County, I am afraid that he is also waiting for him.
It seems to have to find a time to bring them here.
At the speed of his Taoist Golden Core, he can come and go once a day at most.
the next day.
Song Yan led a group of officials and yamen to start an inventory of the shops in the city and reclassified them.
As a result, this investigation revealed that there were more shops in Liangzhou Mansion than expected.
There are more than 280 low-end shops, 50 or 60 more than five years ago.
There are more than 130 medium-sized shops.
There are more than 150 high-end shops.
After reassessing the grade, Song Yan ordered someone to collect taxes.
Low-level shops are better, after all, not everyone has the confidence to oppose the government.
But it’s not easy to get a medium shop on the right side.
At the end of the day, of the more than 130 medium-sized shops, only 30 had paid their taxes, and the rest hung the flag of the military town, claiming to be under the protection of General Xu Xing.
Xu Xing was a general with a 5,000-strong army in his hand. How dare these officials offend him, so they all came back in vain.
As for those high-end shops, 109 of them were opened by Xu Xing, and the rest were blessed by him. These officials did not even dare to visit, let alone collect taxes.
Song Yan did not blame these officials. It is human instinct to bully the soft and fear the hard, and it is understandable that they dare not offend Xu Xing.
So, on the second day.
Song Yan personally led the officials and yamen to collect taxes.
“Sir, our store is blessed by General Xu Xing, so the tax cannot be handed over to you!”
A middle-aged shopkeeper said in an arrogant tone that he was the owner of a medium-sized inn.
“Presumptuous, how did you speak to Lord Zhizhou!”
Liu Cheng, who was with him, shouted sharply.
Song Yan waved his hand, looked at the shopkeeper, and said slowly: “According to the decree of the imperial court, those who evade taxes can be directly thrown into prison. This official only needs to lock you up for the first half of the year. When you come out, is this inn still yours?”
“You dare, I paid General Xu money!”
The shopkeeper shouted sternly.
Song Yan smiled speechlessly: “Stupid, I’m an official, Xu Xing is a soldier, Xu Xing can’t bring his troops into the city without getting an order, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion, you said, General Xu Xing will rebel on your back. It’s a big sin, you think too highly of yourself, don’t you?”
“Sir, forgive me, the villain is willing to pay the tax!” The shopkeeper fell to his knees.
“If you read your first offense, this official will not punish you for your crime. Hurry up and pay the tax!”
For the next half of the day, Song Yan took people around all the medium-sized shops. More than 90% of the shopkeepers paid their taxes immediately when they saw him, a wise man from the prefecture, and some were not stingy. You’re polite, let the yamen take him and put him in jail.
finally.
He came to a high-end shop.
This shop is under Xu Xing’s name, so the owner’s attitude is very arrogant, and Song Yan is completely ignored.
Song Yan also had nothing to say.
Directly ordered someone to arrest the principal, and then closed the store.
There are a lot of people watching the fun outside, and many of them are from other high-end shops.
Since Song Yan dared to seal the first store, he dared to seal the second store, so the following stores cooperated very well and paid taxes obediently.
Inside the military camp.
“Snapped!”
Xu Xing threw his wine glass directly and cursed angrily, “Song Yan kid, you are too deceiving!”
However, he had already received the news that his shop had been led by Song Yan to forcibly collect taxes. He was so small that he knew the state, but he dared to break ground on Taishang’s head. Take the troops to Liangzhou, and scare Song Yan’s child, so that he doesn’t dare to oppose him again.
“Come here, order five hundred troops and horses for this general to go to Liangzhou City!”
A quarter of an hour later.
With a rumbling sound, five hundred cavalrymen headed straight for Liangzhou City under the leadership of Xu Xing.
At the speed of cavalry, in less than half an hour, five hundred soldiers and horses arrived under the city wall.
“Listen to the people in the city, this general is Xu Xing, hurry up and open the city gate!” Xu Xing shouted towards the guards on the city wall.
“General Xu, what are you doing with so many troops? Could it be that you want to attack Liangzhou, or that you want to rebel and become king?”
Song Yan’s voice sounded, and then, he appeared on the head of the city.
“Song Yan’s son is you!”
Hearing Song Yan’s words, Xu Xing’s expression suddenly changed, but then his eyes became extremely sharp.
Song Yan shouted in a deep voice: “Xu Xing, take your people back immediately, this official can pretend that nothing happened, otherwise, don’t blame this official for joining with Master Su to ginseng you!”
“Song Yan child, you are deceiving people too much!” Xu Xing was furious, he took the bow and arrow from the warhorse and aimed it at Song Yan on the city wall.
“call out!”
An iron arrow shot towards Song Yan like black lightning.
But Song Yan did not show any panic, and even stood in place without dodging. Seeing that the iron arrow was already in front of him, he flicked his hand, and the iron arrow suddenly turned around and shot back several times faster.
“puff!”
The iron arrow directly hit Xu Xing’s lower abdomen, directly piercing his dantian, and then it came out from his back.
