There were chickens in the small courtyard of the Zhang family, and Yang Quanzong entered the courtyard domineeringly, so scared that the chickens and dogs went up to the wall. Zhang Tiande didn't dare to make a sound when he laughed, Liu Er threw the broom angrily, twisted his waist and entered the house. Yang Quanzong stood in the courtyard, his eyes fixed on Miss Liu'er's body, revealing full of lust.

Zhang Tiande picked up the bamboo chair under the eaves, blocked in front of him, bowed down and said, "Master Yang, why are you here, sit down, I'll pour you a bowl of water." ”

Yang Quanzong swallowed his saliva and said with a lewd smile: "Liu'er, this little girl is getting more and more cute. Lao Zhang, how about marrying Liu Er to me as a concubine? Those forty acres of land are considered to be my dowry, Lao Zhang, you are my father-in-law, and you can go sideways in this Baqing Town in the future, and you will be happy for the rest of your life. ”

There was a "bang" sound in the house, and Zhang Tiande smiled bitterly: "Yang Ye said that you are laughing, you are a nobleman, how high can my willow climb up." Yang Ye, do you have something? ”

Yang Quanzong sank his face and said coldly: "I don't know how to lift, you don't want to be forced by the master, and you have to suffer from the poor dog bones if you have a good life." The lord has two notices to you this time, one is that the Shuai Mansion has an order, so that all families should be careful during this time, the court sent a Qingtian envoy to check the acres of land, don't talk nonsense if you shouldn't say something, if something happens, don't blame me for not notifying me in advance. If an outsider comes to the house, tell me quickly, if it is found to be someone with ulterior motives, the nester will be guilty of the same crime. ”

Zhang Tiande's heart sank, and Lin Gongzi, who was staying at home, said that he was looking for relatives, but he dragged himself to drink every day and went to Tuntian to talk about it, so it was not clear that this Lin Gongzi was the secret envoy sent by the court to Qingtian. Zhang Tiande listened to the diners in the restaurant, the court began to clean up the fields again, and the officials who came to Huazhou were said to have a grudge against Jiang Jingluo, and everyone said that they should prevent the officials sent by the court from being unfavorable to Jiang Daren.

"Bang", there was another sound in the house, and Liu Er heard the conversation outside, and the spoon in her hand fell to the ground in fright.

Yang Quanzong continued to take care of himself: "There is also Feng Shuai's message, the court came to check the fields, and those fields that have not been reported to the government must be truthfully reported, including the forty acres of land you cultivated. Since you have reported to the government, you will have to pay taxes from next year, and the rent you will pay next year will increase by 10%, and you will give me 40%. The court still has to pay the tax evasion in previous years, and you are ready to pay the tax for three years, and then hand it in when the final regulations of the government come down. ”

Zhang Tiande had a bitter face, in order to treat Liu Erniang's illness, the family owed a lot of debts, how could there be any spare money to pay taxes, and the taxes would rise by one percent next year, and it was sad to have a bad day. Zhang Tiande mourned: "Yang Ye, you don't know the situation of my family, how can I have the money to pay taxes, you forgive me two years, please Yang Ye." ”

Yang Quanzong glanced at Zhang Tiande with slanted eyes, and said, "Lao Zhang, although I have fallen in love with your girl, I will never do anything to persecute you, otherwise Feng Shuai will not have to pick my skin if he knows about it." I really can't help with this favor, if you want to blame the court, you can blame the court for sending someone to Qingtian, from Lord Jiang, Feng Shuai to me, there is no way, if you think farming is not cost-effective, greet me early, I will rent it to others. ”

Zhang Tiande sat on the stone steps under the eaves, Yang Quanzong glanced at the house, smiled "hehe", and swaggered out of the hospital.

Waiting for Yang Quanzong to leave, Liu Er came out of the house, saw her father's lost soul, and said bitterly: "Dad, Lin Gongzi said two days ago that he wanted to return to Beijing, let us go with him, or let's go to Beijing with him?" ”

Looking at Liu Er's eyes full of hope, how could Zhang Tiande not understand his daughter's thoughts, this stupid girl has fallen in love with the scholar surnamed Lin, if the surname Lin can take root in Baqing Town, he might as well marry Liu Er to him, but the origin of the surname Lin is unknown, the mind is unpredictable, and even whether the surname Lin is two words, how can he push his daughter into the fire pit.

sighed, Zhang Tiande had no intention of singing on the street again, sitting under the eaves and thinking about his thoughts, forty acres of land was very difficult to cultivate by his father and daughter, and the harvest was not good, so he could only have a slight surplus. Next year, the tax will rise by 10%, and I will only rent 20 acres, and I will take Liu Er to the restaurant when I have time, which is faster than the money from farming. It's just that Liu'er, this girl is big, she is smart, and the probability of trouble is also great, in case something goes wrong, how can I be worthy of the baby.

Seeing that her father was silent, Liu Er was busy moving the things in the house to the courtyard to dry, and Lin Gongzi's dirty clothes were put at the head of the bed, and she also put them in a basket and carried them to the river at the edge of the town to wash. Zhang Tiande became more and more preoccupied, and regretted that he should have been ruthless in the first place and did not let this Lin Gongzi live at home. Yang Quanzong just said that someone wanted to report to him, and his family couldn't do such a thing, but for the sake of insurance, he would let him go to the guest house when Lin Gongzi came back, so as to save his own family.

Pan Heyi felt the abnormal atmosphere in the town, and everyone in the teahouse was talking about Tun Shuai's order to check the acres of land and report the fields that had been hidden in recent years to the government. Pan Heyi sneered in his heart, the Qingtian inspection team is coming, and the Tun army wants to erase the traces of concealment and non-reporting, okay, very good, the court left time for them to self-check, but it seems to be a little late to report now, and he already has the evidence in his hand that the Tun army concealed nearly 10,000 hectares of fields.

After meeting with the inspection team, I took them directly to Hecheng County to see how many months and days the time for the registration and reporting of the Hecheng County government was a few months, and if you dare to falsify the time, don't blame yourself for overturning the entire Hecheng County. This Hecheng County has always been the benchmark county of Huazhou, when Jiang Anyi did the assassination history, his senior brother Fan Shi was the county commander of Hecheng County, and the government government did not invest money in Hecheng County, even if it was repeatedly warned, the scale and prosperity of Hecheng County are still a handful in Huazhou.

It's almost time to go back to Huiye Mansion, Pan Heyi's eyes flashed Liu Er's delicate figure, and the gentleness jumped in his eyes, this trip to Huazhou to meet Liu Er is the bright color of his life. He was ordered by his mother to marry Tang, Tang is a typical official lady, with average appearance, only blindly supple, Pan Heyi is in harmony with Tang's husband and wife on the surface, but in fact, he has little affection for Tang.

Maybe it's because he can't get it because he misses it, Pan Heyi often thinks of the good times he had with Siqing, and secretly regrets his original choice. Liu Er's appearance reawakened his desire for this beautiful emotion, he really wanted to take Liu Er back to Beijing and take her as a concubine, but how to speak, Liu Er should be happy, but Zhang Tiande may not agree. Pan Heyi smiled and was sweetly annoyed.

When he returned to Zhang's house at noon, Pan Heyi unexpectedly saw Zhang Tiande sitting under the eaves in a daze, looking preoccupied. Liu Er was drying the beans on the sieve, glanced at the road from time to time, saw Pan Heyi's figure from a distance, quickly wiped her hair, pulled her clothes, and bent down to turn over the beans pretending not to care, and the smile on the corner of her mouth betrayed her mood.

"Brother Zhang, Miss Liu'er, you are all at home." Pan Heyi raised the braised sheep face in his hand and said with a smile: "I just passed by Aunt Sun's mutton shop, bought some lamb head meat, and drank two cups with Brother Zhang in the evening." ”

Liu Er stepped forward to take the oil paper bag, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Lin Gongzi has broken the bill." ”

Pan Heyi said with a smile: "Miss Liu'er said something, Pan lives in your house for nothing, but he treats you as his own family." ”

Liu Er glanced at Pan Heyi happily, turned around sweetly and went to the kitchen, Pan Heqi puffed up his eyes and watched, and secretly sighed in his heart when he could marry a daughter-in-law like Liu Er, the master is really a good fate, and he can be favored by the daughter of the family if he finds a family to live in.

Zhang Tiande stood up and patted his ass and said: "Lin Gongzi, you are a noble person of our family, it is said that I shouldn't say this, but Yang Lizheng in the town came in the morning, saying that the Shuai Mansion was investigating the people, I am afraid that they will not be good for the son, so the prince should leave quickly." ”

In the kitchen, Liu Er listened to the movement outside with one ear on her side while cutting the mutton face meat, and heard her father driving Lin Gongzi away, almost missing her own hand. Putting down the knife, Liu Er rushed out and said, "Dad, Lin Gongzi is here to visit his relatives, how can he let him leave if he hasn't found his relatives yet." The guy surnamed Yang obviously didn't have a good heart, and deliberately scared you, dad, don't take it seriously, next time the guy surnamed Yang dares to come and I will drive him out with a broom. If he dares to come nonsense, I will dare to go to the Marshal's Mansion to sue him. ”

Pan Heyi's heart sank, and the government sent someone to check, but it was not good, so he had to leave quickly. He has an official seal on him just in case, but in Huazhou, especially in Baqing Town, Hecheng County, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and Jiang Anyi is not needed to make a person disappear, and even the Yang Lizheng in Liu Er's mouth can do it. You must know that the world is not very peaceful, the Son of Heaven built palaces and the states of the new felling materials forced many people, leaving the official road may encounter bandits, as long as he says that he was killed by bandits, the Son of Heaven may not ask Jiang Anyi for himself.

Thinking like this, Pan Heyi felt a cold sweat on his back, and said calmly: "Since this is the case, Lin can't involve Brother Zhang, so pack up his things and leave." Heqi, what are you still doing in a daze, go and pack your things. ”

Liu Er's mouth flattened, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Lin, why don't you leave tomorrow, the clothes have just been washed, they haven't dried yet, and the mutton face meat you bought back hasn't tasted yet, the surnamed Yang has just come, and he shouldn't come again in the next few days, Brother Lin, you are a scholar, don't be afraid of him." ”

Pan Heyi knew that Miss Liu'er was reluctant, but his life was at stake, so he couldn't take care of his children's affection, and said with a forced smile: "Miss Liu'er, since the government has an order, you can't disobey it, if I stay here any longer, I will cause trouble for you, so it's better to leave early." ”

Liu Er burst into tears and sobbed, "Brother Lin, will you come back?" ”

The most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty, Pan Heyi's heart softened, took off the Pisces jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Liu Er and said: "Miss Liu'er, this jade pendant is my family heirloom, if you don't dislike it, take it." I'll come back in a little while. ”

The words were not explained, but the meaning was very clear, Liu Er's pretty face was full of red glow, took the jade pendant, looked at Pan Heyi affectionately, and said, "I'll wait for the son to come back." ”

Zhang Tiande coughed again and again, his daughter was so bold that she dared to receive other men's tokens in front of her father, but the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, this Lin Gongzi is a scholar, it is very likely that he is an official sent by the court to check the fields, and his temperament is not bad, Liu Er can marry him well, his daughter will always marry when she is older, but her own identity is not worthy of him, Liu Er can only be a concubine when she marries, alas, as long as this girl is willing, what can she say.

Since they are about to become a family, Zhang Tiande inevitably cares a little more about Pan Heyi, and urges: "Lin Gongzi, let's go quickly, and come back in a while." ”

Pan Heqi came out of the house with his baggage, and Liu Er said with a red face: "The clothes in the courtyard haven't dried yet, and they are placed in my house, so let's get them back next time the son comes." ”

Pan Heyi didn't have the heart to pay attention to these, and arched his hand towards Zhang Tiande and Liu Er: "There will be a period later, go." ”

Before he was discharged from the hospital, he saw more than ten fast horses galloping on the official road, Pan Heyi secretly said that it was not good, it should not be for himself, so he hurriedly flashed into the house and explained to Zhang Tiande: "Brother Zhang, if someone asks, cover up for me." ”

Zhang Tiande saw that Pan and Qi were so weak-hearted, and secretly complained in his heart, Liu Er, this girl, don't marry the wrong man, it will be too late to regret it when the time comes. No, I've got to talk to the girl and let her have a snack.

The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and it stopped in front of Zhang's courtyard, and the hearts of the people in the courtyard and the house sank to the bottom.

Immediately people dismounted, and Zhang Tiande recognized that the leader was actually Tun Shuai Feng Dingzhong. Feng Shuai is a modest person, often wandering around the town, everyone in the town knows him, Zhang Tiande and Liu Er once went to Shuai's mansion to sing. Liu Er also recognized Feng Shuai, and when she saw him walking towards the courtyard, she was shocked and scared, who was Lin Gongzi, who actually provoked Feng Shuai to come in person.

"Brother Zhang, I heard that there are guests at your house, please come out and meet them." Feng Dingzhong said with a smile.

Zhang Tiande opened his mouth, "Ahhhhh ”

Feng Dingzhong stood behind a beautiful woman, glanced at Liu Er, and said with a smile: "The little girl looks so good, I see you are very pitiful." Little girl, do you know that your cousin is not simple? ”

The woman on the other side shouted impatiently into the house: "Pan Heyi, don't be a cat, since you have the courage to come, what are you still hiding in the cat, come out quickly, save us from going in and invite you." ”

When Liu Er heard the three words Pan Heyi, she hurriedly distinguished: "My cousin's surname is Lin, you have found the wrong person." ”

Zhang Tiande said in his heart, silly girl, that Lin Gongzi is clearly lying to you, he is clearly Pan Heyi.

Inside the house, Pan Heyi knew that he couldn't hide, and the people who came were coming at him. Dressed neatly, Pan Heyi calmly walked out of the house, came to the courtyard and bowed and saluted: "Huazhou Qingtian made Pan Heyi see Feng Shuai and Mrs. Jiang. ”

Siyu sneered: "The surname is Pan, good ability, I didn't say hello when I came to Huazhou, didn't we lose the friendship of the landlord, please go to the Shuai Mansion to talk about it." ”

Now, Pan Heyi has also let himself go, and said: "You should obey your fate." ”

turned around and glanced at Zhang Tiande and Liu Er, and said, "Their father and daughter don't know Pan's identity, and I hope that Mrs. Jiang won't embarrass them." ”

Xin Fei sneered: "Master Pan, it's better not to be careful with that little thought, will I embarrass them?" Since you care about them so much, then please come to the Shuai Mansion together. ”

Pan Heyi's heart was cold, his intention was to ask Xinfei and them not to take away Zhang Tiande's father and daughter, with Zhang Tiande's father and daughter here, the news that he was taken away by Xinfei would not be able to hide it, so he would be safe. But Xin Fei saw through his intentions and took Zhang Tiande's father and daughter away, so that no one knew the news that he came to Baqing Town.
