Luo Xiaoye and Ye Xiaotian rode a horse and a donkey, talking while running, rushing into the gate of the county seat all the way, as if Don Quixote and Sancho were waving their lances and rushing towards the windmill without hesitation.
After about half an hour, another two sects participating in the duel broke into the city one after another with swords, guns and sticks, scaring the city guard into fear, thinking that the mountain people had rebelled again.
Immediately afterwards, the people who watched the excitement also entered the city one after another, and the weird scene between Ye Xiaotian and Miss Shuixi Zhan's family spread throughout Hu County through these big mouths. , happily went straight to the county government to watch the big show.
The city guard watched group after group of totally unkind people rushing into the city, but nothing happened in the end. Just after he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw three more people rushing in from a distance, with a young Miao girl in the middle , looks very handsome, but there are more and more beautiful silver ornaments on the head, neck and even the upper body, but the lower body is wearing a blue-black skirt that middle-aged and elderly women wear, which is a bit out of place.
The city guard saw that the goddess Miao looked unkind, and the two men dressed in Miao clothes were even more vicious, so he quickly pretended to ignore them and let them enter the city.
This young girl is naturally Zhan Ning'er, but she begged for that skirt from an old woman whose donkey was robbed, but that old woman also had the cunning of a peasant woman, and found that the material of the red dress was very good, why? It was also worth a few coins, so I picked it up immediately.
After Zhan Ning'er went down the mountain, she saw the old woman and offered to buy her dress, why didn't the old woman understand the origin of the red dress just now? She received a lot of money, but took off her skirt on the spot, and never let the red dress in the bag see the owner.
As soon as Zhan Ning'er left, the old woman must have put on the red dress for the time being. It's just an old woman wearing a bright pomegranate dress, asking her grandson to help her walk up the mountain path. The scenery is really...
At this time, on the hillside of Huang Daxian Ridge, Luo Daheng was strolling leisurely, occasionally taking out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from his schoolbag, completely unaware that there were two blue figures quietly following him in the dark.
Luo Daheng stopped at the place where he stopped to rest for the first time on the way up the mountain. He stepped on the bluestone and looked into the distance. He saw a few mothers-in-law and father-in-law with their babies on their backs staggering towards the county town far below the mountain. Luo Daheng couldn't help but complain Said: "You don't want to be chased by others and be chased by others. I want to be chased but not catch up. Oh, it's really time to lose weight."
After the tycoon finished speaking, the hippopotamus opened its mouth, took another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, took out a water bag and drank a few mouthfuls vigorously, then sat down on its buttocks, rested and groaned, stalking secretly The two men in Tsing Yi looked at each other, neither laughing nor laughing.
The slightly shorter man in Tsing Yi secretly rolled his eyes, and said in his heart: "Thinking about it, my second brother deliberately comforted me with what I said just now, my bastard son, how can I be a wise and foolish master?"

Ye Xiaotian and Luo Xiaoye fled to the gate of the county government office, one dismounted from the horse, and the other dismounted from the donkey. When the gatekeeper saw the inspector and Dian Shi arrived, he hurried up to take the reins, and looked at Ye Xiaotian's attire very strangely. After all, it is very rare for a majestic classic history to carry a tree root with a bare back.
Ye Xiaotian and Luo Xiaoye entered the county government office, just turned into Yimen, happened to be Meng Xiancheng and Wang Zhuzhu coming together, seeing Ye Xiaotian like this, Meng Xiancheng was shocked and said: "Ai Dianshi! You... Who is this going to ask for guilt?"
Ye Xiaotian said in surprise: "What crime do I bear? I... oh!"
Ye Xiaotian suddenly noticed that he was still carrying the root of the disaster, he hurriedly threw it aside, and said with a bitter face: "My lords, you really did me a disservice."
Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Meng Xiancheng and Wang Zhubo guessed that he had suffered a great loss on the mountain, but looking at Luo Xiaoye's frowning, he did not look extremely frightened, so it is expected that those scholars did not make trouble After killing someone, my heart is relieved again.
When they got in the mood, the two of them looked at Ye Xiaotian again, and the more they looked at it, the more amusing it became. The two suppressed their laughter and put on a serious look. Meng Xiancheng said: "Didn't Master Dian Shi go to Huang Daxian Ridge to stop the fight between the two sects? Why... came back in such a state?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Hey! This matter is a long story, and it is really hard to explain it in one word. Inspector Luo, let's talk about it."
Luo Xiaoye gave a wry smile, and briefly explained what had happened, Meng Xiancheng and Wang Zhubo couldn't laugh at once. Mengxian Cheng was stunned for a while, and said: "You said...that woman is from Shuixi Zhan's family?"
Luo Xiaoye said: "Shuixizhan's right, 'family member' is a bit inappropriate. In fact, that woman is the eldest lady of Shuixizhan's generation, cough! There are three tigers in Guizhou, one of the three tigers One of the…”
Meng Xiancheng and Wang Zhubo said in unison: "The Decepticons?"
Luo Xiaoye was stunned, and wondered, "Do the two adults recognize her?"
Meng Xiancheng and Wang Zhubo drooped their eyebrows at the same time, and sighed at the same time: "I don't know! But only one of the three scourges knows martial arts, how can we not guess?"
Meng Xiancheng and Wang Zhubo looked at each other, and Meng Xiancheng's expression suddenly changed, and he said to Wang Zhubo seriously: "The three-year exam is approaching, and this year's autumn grain must be harvested to 90% no matter what, otherwise how to deal with it?" The imperial court examination. Master Wang, you have to finish sorting out the household registration book as soon as possible, so that I can follow the map and collect taxes from household to household."
Master Wang nodded with a serious face, and said to Mengxian Cheng: "Yes! The reason, the lower official naturally understands, the lower official has ordered people to rush to clear the household registration day and night. Mr. County Prime Minister, why don't we go and have a look, Don't miss out on business."
The two turned to Ye Xiaotian at the same time, arched their hands together, and said: "Ai Dianshi, we suddenly remembered that there is an extremely important matter to be done, so we will take our leave."
Ye Xiaotian has never seen such a shameless official, Ye Xiaotian said in surprise: "My lords, the one named Zhan..."
While speaking, Meng Xiancheng and Wang Zhubo had already walked out of the gate of the ceremony, waved to him and said: "Master Xian Zun is in the second hall."
Ye Xiaotian was stunned: "How can they be so shameless?"
Luo Xiaoye said: "How can you become an official in Hu County without being shameless?"
Ye Xiaotian turned to look at Luo Xiaoye, Luo Xiaoye said: "You don't need to look at me, I'm a hereditary native official, if I can't do it, I have to do it."
While the two were talking, they saw Cheng Meng and Master Wang turn around from behind the screen, Ye Xiaotian was overjoyed, just as their conscience broke out, he quickly went up to them, cupped his hands and said: "Cheng Meng, Master Wang..."
Meng Xiancheng and Wang Zhubo were so absorbed that they didn't hear him at all, nor did they see him. They only heard Meng Xiancheng say: "Although the imperial court implemented the 'one whip method', we still have to adapt measures to local conditions in Hu County. That’s fine. The local people usually buy and sell by barter, so it’s very difficult to ask them to pay the silver.”
Master Wang said: "That's right, it's not as good as this. We will cover the taxation of a county and calculate the land according to the land. In this regard, we will still follow the tax law of the court. Next, we will allow the people to pay the autumn grain and silk cloth directly, and I, the Huxian government, will pay for it." Ship it to Dafu, Dacheng, and exchange it for cash."
Mengxian Cheng nodded and said: "It's very good. The grain chiefs of the townships can notify them to start collecting grain. If there are tax resisters, Li Jia will cooperate with punishment. If it is not possible, the county will send someone to remind..."
Master Wang said: "The county magistrate's method is very appropriate!"
The two walked while talking, walking past Ye Xiaotian, treating him as air. Ye Xiaotian was wondering, when he heard the noise outside the yamen rushing towards his face, he suddenly realized: "It turns out that these two irresponsible bastards couldn't get out of the gate, so they hid back..."

In the second hall of the county government office, Hua Qingfeng sat dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.
Ye Xiaotian paused and said: "My lord, you are talking."
Hua Qingfeng coughed twice, and his eyes moved: "Where are Meng County Chancellor and Master Wang?"
Luo Xiaoye smiled wryly, "Those two adults, I don't know where to hide to discuss the collection of autumn grain."
Hua Qingfeng said in amazement: "Is it time to harvest the autumn grain? Oh, I see..."
Hua Qingfeng took a deep breath, and said to Ye Xiaotian: "This matter is about a woman's fame. If you say it's too big, it's worth nothing. Whether it's big or small depends on whether people care. What about the Shuixizhan family? Even the governor's yamen should be afraid, since this Zhan Ning'er is an important member of the Shuixi Zhan clan, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"
Ye Xiaotian wondered: "Master, I came to you, didn't I just ask you how to solve it? Why did you ask me?"
Hua Qingfeng shook his head and said sadly: "This county... has no choice. The people here have been disobedient to the kingly way for a long time, and have never taken this county seriously. The three classes and six rooms in this county have always been a mess. , there is no deterrence. This county has the ambition to rise to the clouds... "
Ye Xiaotian said angrily: "My lord, you don't want Lingyun anymore. You officials from Hu County really disappointed me. It was your request to go to Huangdaxian Ridge to prevent the duel between the two factions, so as not to kill people? I'll go Yes, it’s done! Now, as your subordinate, I’m in trouble, Meng Xiancheng and Wang Zhubo started to pretend to be deaf and dumb, you Hua Dalord... you don’t have to pretend to be deaf and dumb, because you are not Deaf and dumb!"
Hua Qingfeng's face turned red and white after being scolded by him, but she had nothing to say.
Ye Xiaotian said: "If I'm really the history of the county, I don't say anything, I will take the blame for it myself! But I am not, I was forced by you to pretend to be Ai Dianshi, and now you push two or five and six, and all of them are dumb? Cheng Ah! Then I'll just sit here. If they break into the county office in a fit of anger and cause some major incident, they will dismiss you as officials. I'll stop pretending to be a big clove of garlic. I didn't want to pretend , I took my old... old sister to go to relatives."
As Ye Xiaotian said that, he wanted to take off his official hat, but when he touched his head, he realized that today he was dressed as a Confucian scholar, with only a boy's scarf on. The deputy hob looks like meat.
Hua Zhixian's face turned blue and red for a while, and after a long while, he said: "In this case, then... then the county will go out for a while, just in case... if that girl Zhan is willing to look at my thin face and calm down, then It's the best."
As Hua Qingfeng said, he stood up, straightened his official hat, and walked out. Ye Xiaotian, who was shaking his thighs, suddenly stopped, stared at his thoughts, slapped his thighs hard, and said: "No! No, no! Why should I be afraid? Her? I obviously have a way to cure her!"
Hua Qingfeng, who had just stepped out of the threshold, withdrew her feet in a whiz, her eyes were shining brightly, and she rushed to Ye Xiaotian with a stride, grabbed his hand, and said excitedly: "Ai Dianshi, do you have a solution?"
