Liu Yu gritted his teeth and turned his head to look at Xiao Wenshou who was standing behind him: "Mother, the child will come when he goes." ”

A trace of nervousness flashed in Xiao Wenshou's eyes: "Da Lang, why don't you eat first and then leave, Diao Assassin Shi Xin takes office, you just see him like this, and you have to prepare well." ”

Liu Yu's heart is bright, Xiao Wenshou is also an official lady after all, she still knows a thing or two about these things, maybe this time it is the Hongmen Banquet, she means to prepare herself, at least bring a few reliable brothers with her, so as not to suffer a loss.

However, Liu Yu thought about it, yesterday he won the position of the head of the martial arts, and greatly increased the face of the locals in Jingkou, in this case, Diao Kui did not dare to attack himself, in order to provoke the people to revolt, today Diao Mao came to invite himself to the door, which the whole village saw it, and it was impossible to blacken it silently.

Besides, as a lizheng, it is within one's duty to go to see the assassin history, and he can't shirk it. Even if you push it once or twice, can you still see Diao Kui for the rest of your life? If he pushes back and pushes, it will make Diao Kui think that he is afraid of him, but he will lose that energy!

Thinking of this, Liu Yu smiled slightly and said: "Mother, today's Diao Thorn Shi is to invite the child to discuss business, and I can't help but go, please rest assured, the child will come when he goes." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Daolian and Liu Daogui, and his eyes flashed: "Second brother, third brother, take care of your mother, and wait for the eldest brother to come back for dinner." ”

Liu Daogui said loudly: "Big brother, but go in peace, we will wait for you to come back here." ”

Liu Daolian smiled innocently: "Big brother, we have delicious food at night, my mother said that I will make a chicken!" ”

Liu Yu laughed, didn't say much, turned around and left, Diao Mao's eyes rolled, took the donkey, and followed.

An hour later, outside the Assassin's Mansion.

Liu Yu stood still outside the gate of the house, Diao Mao behind him panted and followed, the two of them didn't say anything along the way, Liu Yu walked like flying, and Diao Mao led the donkey to keep up, but it was not too difficult, until here, Liu Yu stopped, he came over panting, while wiping the sweat on his face, he said: "Liu, Liu Lizheng, you, you are walking too fast." ”

Liu Yu's eyes sparkled coldly, looking at this assassin's mansion, there were three times as many guards on duty at the door, and he still recognized a few faces, it was the soldiers who Diao Kui brought to the ring that day, and at this time their swords were sheathed, and the spear head they held was also wrapped in black cloth, obviously, they were abiding by the laws of Jingkou that day.

Liu Yu felt a sense of relief in his heart, regardless of whether Diao Kui was acting or not, it was obvious that the lesson he had been taught that day had achieved its purpose, he took a deep breath, strode in, and walked straight into the gate of the Assassin's Mansion.

The courtyard is still the same, more than a dozen officials in green clothes and small hats are running around, and there are a few people dressed as servants, sweeping the courtyard, except for the few sergeants at the door, there are no sergeants with weapons.

And on the roofs on both sides, there were no archers, Liu Yu secretly thought in his heart, it seemed that he was too worried, Diao Kui was also an official of the imperial court after all, and he would not set up an ambush in this assassination mansion to kill a small Li Zheng.

Diao Kui was dressed in an official robe today, kneeling on a small couch in the main hall of the Assassin History, Liu Yi stood on the side with his hands down, and the small couch in front of him was full of official documents.

Liu Yu strode in, stood still in the hall, and bowed his hand and said: "Liu Yu is in Garlic Mountain Township, and I have seen the history of Diao Thorn!" ”

Diao Kui raised his head, and a smile became on his face: "Liu Lizheng is here, very good, can you accept a little bit of the official's heart?" ”

Liu Yu said indifferently: "The kindness of the envoy is the best of the best, but it is useless, and the lowly will never dare to accept these things!" ”

Diao Kui's face sank, looked at Diao Mao, and was so frightened that Diao Mao hurriedly said: "The little one has explained it several times, but Liu Lizheng is ............ him."

Diao Kui raised his hand all of a sudden, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, this official knows." Liu Lizheng, these things are just a little thank you for accepting your reminder yesterday and telling this Jingkou rule to the official, and there is no other meaning. Since you don't want it, then the official won't be reluctant. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "If you can understand the people's feelings, it will be a blessing for the people of Beijing." Diao Jiayuan said, you called your subordinates this time to come because you have official business to explain, what is it? ”

Diao Kui's eyebrows raised, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Well, in fact, Liu Lizheng should also know that the northern captives are about to go south, and the imperial court has an order, and the land is not divided into north and south, and the people are not divided into old and young, and they must have money to contribute, and they must make a strong contribution to the national disaster." ”

"And this official went out of Xuzhou this time, and he also donated all his family property for military funds, which Liu Lizheng should be aware of."

Liu Yu's heart moved, it seemed that Diao Kui took the initiative to put forward this lofty slogan, to protect the family and defend the country, and give up the small family for the country, obviously there was some follow-up trick.

This Diao Kui donated money to change an official in order to frantically loot the local people and take the powerful northern refugees as their own, and how could other ordinary people make deals with the country like this?

Thinking of this, Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Diao Tingshi is dedicated to the country, and he admires his humble duties, but I, the people of Jingkou, have paid taxes and levies over the years, and have never violated the laws and regulations of the state. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Liu Yi: "Liu Zhi, I'm right." ”

Liu Yi nodded, and was about to speak, but Diao Kui said: "Liu Lizheng, please don't misunderstand the meaning of this official, this official did not say that the people of Jingkou had stolen taxes or evaded service before this, but just said that now that the national crisis is at hand, everyone should make more efforts than usual, right?" ”

Liu Yu's face changed, he probably heard Diao Kui's meaning, and said in a deep voice: "Diao Thorn History, the imperial court has its own laws and regulations, and I haven't seen or received an order from the imperial court to increase taxes and levy Ding." ”

Diao Kui laughed: "Liu Lizheng probably forgot one thing, look at it, what is this?" ”

Diao Kui waved his hand, and Diao Hong, who was in the corner on the side, stood up with a sneer, he changed into a green official robe today, but in his hand, he was holding the Son of Heaven Scepter!

Liu Yu's heart was sinking sharply, this time the situation was different from that night, that day it was Diao Hong, who had no official body, and he couldn't give orders or cure people.

But today, Diao Kui is the military governor of the state, and he can give any order on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and he, as long as he is still upright, can only obey his fate!

Liu Yuyi gritted his teeth: "Since the scepter of the Son of Heaven is here, may I ask Diao Thorn History, how much tax will be added and how much will be drawn?" ”
