The Space’s Twelve Zodiac Comes to Farm!

Chapter 143: , Nearly a catty

"Of course you line up! I'm here to pay taxes!" Uncle Luo rolled his eyes.

"Ah, girl Lian also pays taxes!" Shui Yunli didn't dare to refute, turning to ask Bai Lian.

Bai Lian smiled, "Hmm!"

"Master Shui, shall we go in?" Xiaoyue felt a little unhappy when she saw Master Shui talking to Bai Lian.

I'm much better-looking than the white lotus who's already here. Why is this young master Shui very plain when talking to him, but he is so gentle with this little girl.

"You go back first! I'm with Uncle Luo." Shui Yunli faintly refused.

He really didn't dare to let Uncle Luo line up here alone, if there was anything in case, Lin Yuan wouldn't kill him!

The people around looked cautiously at Xiaoyue and the jade-like son before him, and then looked at the group of people like Bai Lian enviously.

What a blessing!

He actually caught up with the county magistrate's daughter!

"My son, should we go in together?" Xiaoyue's face was soft, and she glanced at Bai Lian dressed up as a peasant girl and said, "So you don't have to line up, this line is too long."

Shui Yunli weakly asked Uncle Luo, "Do you want to go in?"

"My son, let's go quickly! Let's line up!" Uncle Luo frowned.

He also wanted to pretend to be a commoner to experience it!

Seeing that Uncle Luo was upset, Shui Yunli hurriedly spoke, "Then let's go!"

After speaking, Shui Yunli hurried to the county office. If something happens to Uncle Luluo, he may be scammed in the future!

"Prince, wait for me!" Seeing Shui Yunli about to leave, Xiaoyue ran to follow her quickly, but she didn't care about her manners.

The people who lined up all looked at Bailian and the others enviously. It's great to be able to talk to the nobles!

However, they still don't understand. The daughter of the county magistrate asked them to go in first instead of queuing, but they refused. What a wonderful thing!

Elder Li saw this scene in his eyes from behind. He had seen that Shui Yunli, and he lived with Uncle Luo and the others opposite Bai Lian's house.

Speaking of it, he also thinks that the other party may be a desolate family, but it doesn't seem to be the case today.

Because the young lady just now was the daughter of the county magistrate, he didn't believe it when she looked at Shui Yunli softly and said that he was a down-and-out son.

There was a chill in the old man's heart. How come Li Yongnian's life is getting better and better after he left home. When he was at home, he only knew how to chop wood for work. Now the business will be done and it has something to do with nobles.

Isn't it? He has been pretending, deliberately leaving him behind before doing business.

I don't want him to be a dad.

Thinking of this, Mr. Li became gloomy again.

The team moved forward bit by bit, Bai Lian followed slowly, Uncle Luo frowned and asked Li Yongnian in a low voice, "Why is it so slow? Is it so slow when paying taxes?"

"Well, adults still have to weigh two pounds." Li Yongnian nodded.

Uncle Luo is still a little dissatisfied, this efficiency is too low!

If there are so many people, you should send a few more people and divide them into teams!

Soon, it was noon, but they were still waiting in line, but they could see the people in the front collecting food.

Li Yongnian took a few pancakes and gave them to Bai Lian and Uncle Luo.

Uncle Luo bit the pancake that had been chilled, and looked around carefully.

This is at the door of the yamen. There is a lot of grain in it, which is the tax just collected. At the door, there are two lazily working officials. One is looking up the account books, finding the name of the taxpayer, and recording the grain handed in.

The other person calls it food.

Both of them looked lazy, and they worked very slowly, but the person who paid the food did not dare to urge at all, but looked at the officials cautiously.

"Not enough, there is still a stone of food left." The official said after a glance, and then said to a younger teenager.

"But, we have already weighed it at home! Did the adults get it wrong?" the boy asked cautiously.

His father was sick, so he came to hand in the food. Before he came, he deliberately weighed it with his family name, but he didn't expect it to be enough!

"Not enough is not enough, go home and get another stone!" The official said impatiently, and then grabbed the boy's food and put it in the big sack behind him.

"Hey, my lord!" The boy hurriedly wanted to stop, "weigh it again!"

It's a pity that it's too late. Huang Chengcheng's corn has been mixed with other people's corn.

"One stone short!" The fat officer threw the broken bag to the thin boy, "Next!"

"But," the thin boy wanted to say something, and then a middle-aged woman took him.

"Son, go back and get it!" The middle-aged woman sighed, then took the boy away.

Both mother and son wore worn-out clothes, covered in patches, and both were very thin. At first glance, it was caused by perennial malnutrition.

The people in the line seemed to be surprised, and no one dared to speak for the mother and son.

No one dared to talk in front of officials.

Uncle Luo felt angry, just about to walk over to find something, he was caught by Li Yongnian, "Brother Luo, don't go."

Uncle Luo wanted to kill these two officials in the past, but after thinking about it, he didn't go. Instead, he asked Li Yongnian in a low voice, "How many stones did you bring?"

"One hundred and sixty-eight stones" Li Yongnian answered honestly.

In fact, his family should have paid one hundred and sixty-six stones, but he brought two extra stones.

Because the government has an unwritten rule that those who pay 100 shi must give two more stones, and those who pay less than 100 shi must give one more stone.

"You are like this every year?" Uncle Luo asked again.

"Well, keep your voice down." Li Yongnian looked nervous.

Uncle Luo coldly glanced at the officer who called the grain, and said nothing.

This is all for me, and the talent behind it must be the most important.

Soon, it was Bailian's turn, and Li Yongnian put the grain on the scale.

"One hundred and sixty-six stones, just right."

Obviously it was one hundred and sixty-eight stones, but the fat official said it was one hundred and sixty-six stones, and then he turned the grain behind him.

Uncle Luo shook his fingers slightly, wishing to kill the official, Li Yongnian brought one hundred and sixty-eight stones!

"Thank you, my lord!" Li Yongnian nodded his head, and then took Bailian to leave.

But it took two steps to find that Uncle Luo didn't keep up, but directly raised his foot and walked inside the county office.

"Brother Luo, come back quickly!" Li Yongnian turned around and pulled him in fright.

"Brother, you go back first! I have something to find my son." Uncle Luo said with a gentle expression.

Bai Lian had guessed what he was going to do in his heart, so she dragged Li Yongnian, "Master Shui is inside, it should be fine."

Li Yongnian just remembered that the daughter of the county magistrate had entered together with Lord Shui, and he was relieved, but he exhorted, "Then you come out soon! We will wait for you for a while."

Yamen is a very solemn place, and people who enter have to peel off without dying. This is the perception of most people.

The last few days are the days when taxes are paid, and Uncle Luo has not been blocked from entering, because this is only the outside door, and some people can go inside.

Anyway, the people who went in to make trouble had absolutely no good fruit to eat, and the two officials gave Uncle Luo a lazy look, and then ignored them.

"Okay, the old man is waiting outside for a while." Uncle Luo smiled.

Li Yongnian held Bai Lian at the door with a worried look.

Elder Li was thinking about his face, thinking about how to get Li Yongnian back.

It seems that Uncle Luo is really someone who knows the Yamen, so he needs to confess.

"Leizi, you should go back first! I'm here for a while." Li Yongnian saw that Leizi and the others had handed in food, so he said, "Don't have too many people."

After all, there are too many people waiting here, and it is easy to attract attention. If it is noticed by officials, it will be troublesome.

"Then, okay!" Leizi is a sensible person. When he saw Uncle Luo talking with Young Master Shui, he knew that there should be nothing wrong, so he left first.
