The Peerless Demon of Martial Arts

Chapter 644 Internal Contradiction
At this first move, Li Tianxing knew he had made a mistake.

But if he were to beg for that Sun Shihe again, he would not be willing to do so anyway, and he couldn't let go of his face.Let alone the emperor now, even if he is a person from the world, he can't afford to give the other party a big face.

The Yangzhou magistrate's first shot was good. In the evening, some people who bought officials were called: "You all listen to this government. No matter who asks, you will say that you are the police of the yamen."

One of them poured wine for him with a smile: "That's that, don't worry, Mr. Zhifu, we still know this truth. With you here, we are sure to be fine."

"Don't be too careless. I think the emperor is so powerful. He will fight when he comes. He doesn't know how to investigate the case and doesn't even read the account books. With such a person, there will be many days for everyone to make a fortune in the future. "

"That's that, I hope the magistrate will help you a lot."

"Come, come, let's toast the prefect."

While eating was very lively, Li Tianxing was really indifferent, he couldn't eat all the dishes he ordered.

Xingran was the first to break the silence: "It's not okay to go on like this, you showed your edge too early, we have to adjust our route. These people are guarding against us."

"Then what do you say? Don't you check?"

"Whoever said no to check, it's finally here, of course we have to check." Xingran is a ghost, her brain is smarter than Haoyue and Youming: "We can kill him and get back to the carbine, leave Yangzhou first, let the prefect of Yangzhou send someone Escort, wait until we leave Yangzhou, and then turn around. Didn’t they sell so many officials? Let’s buy officials too.”

Purple Winged Bat shook his head: "No, no, everyone already knows us, this trick won't work."

Li Tianxing understands Xingran's thoughts best: "I know, the disguise technique. We are all mixed up by people in the Jianghu, and we have to be able to mix up if we should. Who would have thought that the emperor went to disguise to investigate the case, it was written in the drama It's all fake."

He did what he said, and the next morning, Li Tianxing went to the Yangzhou government office, found the magistrate, and said that he wanted to go back to Beijing and asked him to prepare a car.The magistrate couldn't wait for it, so he called a carriage and personally escorted Li Tianxing and the others to the Yangzhou border crossing, and watched them leave.

"Master, you can rest assured now." The master said.

The magistrate of Yangzhou stroked his beard and was very confident: "After all, he is still the emperor who is well-clothed and well-fed. It's okay to hug a few concubines and run out to investigate the case? Hehe, he is not such a material. Master, report to the governor immediately, just It is said that the emperor has left Yangzhou and went straight to the capital, and we can let go of the business we should do."

"Shouldn't it be slower?"

"What are you slowing down? Master, do you know how much money I lose in a day? Grandma, what kind of palace do you want me to build? This emperor doesn't live in a palace at all." The magistrate pondered: "The repairs to the palace should stop, and the money is all gone. to come back."

"My lord, the silver has already been given to the foreman, it's time to get back... isn't it too—"

The magistrate interrupted him sharply: "You know what a fart! I still need money if I haven't finished the job? Then my money didn't come from the wind! Let everyone sit down and buy it for a month, and I have to give it to the higher-ups!" Pay the money, it’s easy for you to be my magistrate. Go ahead and do it.”

"The villain knows, so let's do it."

Li Tianxing and the others waited for two days. They were too impatient before, but now they have to temper their temper, and they are not in a hurry to handle the case, not to mention that the deficit has been left for several years.

The letter from the magistrate of Yangzhou arrived at the governor's mansion. The governor was very scheming, and he never believed that this matter would be resolved immediately.He felt very weird: "Go back immediately and tell me that shitty magistrate of yours, just tell me what I said, all business is stopped, and the repair of the palace cannot be stopped. If you dare not listen, the governor will take his top off first! Hurry up! go!"

The person who sent the letter said: "Replying to the governor, our master said that tens of thousands of taels of silver will be lost in a day, and he has to hand it over to you and the governor..."

"What? Did you come to settle accounts with me? You go back and tell your lords that if the emperor finds out something, let alone tens of thousands of taels a day, he won't be able to fish for tens of taels a day! Go right away! If you don't go, I'll beat you first Thirty army sticks!"

It took three days to go back and forth like this. The prefect Zhao didn’t think as much as the governor thought. He stomped his feet angrily: "This bastard, this old bastard! If he hadn’t recommended me to be the prefect, I would have sold it first. Him! Let Lao Tzu face all the problems in front of me, and the money that spends so much money in a day is about to go to waste."

The master closed his fan: "The governor's words are not unreasonable, we'd better be careful. Master, don't we still have those officials we sold?"

"How much money can those people earn? The oil and water on the salt road are the biggest. In the past few days, two batches of goods have been missing, which is more than 80 taels of silver. Who am I going to ask for this money?" It's time to listen to the governor: "You go right away and call me some people from the Yandao Yamen. I can't wait any longer. Also, the city gate officials are also called for me."

People from the prefect and Yandao yamen, plus the city gate officials and the local general soldiers, there are always thirteen people sitting together.They all know that as long as they gather together, they must discuss about making money, but they are also a little worried, after all, the emperor has just left, so there will be no trouble if such a big fight is made.

"Everyone, the emperor is gone. You have done a very good job these past few days, and you have not hindered someone like me. So, the government has decided to start selling goods tomorrow, and the taxes at the checkpoints will return to the original state."

Not all of these people are fools, the people from Yandao said: "Master Zhao, I wonder if there is any news from the governor?"

"Governor? He's probably still sleeping with a bitch in his arms. He doesn't know what's going on here. He wants to make money, but he also wants to not work and not take responsibility. There's nothing good in the world. He can wait, we But I can’t afford to wait.” Zhao Zhifu raised his wine glass: “Everyone, since Yangzhou is still in charge of someone called Zhao, then don’t hesitate any longer. We have worked so hard together for so many years, and we are not afraid of this moment. After this peak season, If you don’t ship and you lose the buyer, it’s all of you who lose.”

The city gate official asked: "Master Zhifu, the tax will be restored immediately? Is this a little too hasty?"

"Fuck you! Let me state it again, you all—"

"There are guests!"

Here comes the Governor, alone.

Zhao Zhifu is most annoyed to see this person, but his rank is low, and he has to worship him: "I will see you, Governor."

"No need, we are all acquaintances, don't be so extravagant." The governor looked at the table full of wine and food: "Oh, not bad. The food and wine on this table cost at least 20 taels of silver. Mr. Zhao is really rich, What's the matter? Didn't you say please come with me?"

The prefect said coldly: "Since you are here, let's use it together."
