The boy nodded, walked straight to the bookcase, took the pen from the scribe's hand, and neatly wrote his name in the book.

Although Liu Xun couldn't see the handwriting on the account book in the distance, when he saw the scribe nodding, he couldn't suppress his curiosity: Two or three years ago, this Zhuangzi was a group of homeless people who were about to freeze and starve to death, but now even these dolls can write and do things?

Reading and literacy in these years is the power of the family's gatekeeper, how many of the children of the poor family can afford to read? Therefore, when the court came out with a Ma Zhou, His Majesty would love and favor him so much, and vigorously and simply. Liu Xun had heard that the Fang family had set up a school in Zhuangzi, but it was not clear what the effect was.

Maybe these people are not even poor, they are all homeless people with no permanent property......

And most importantly, why does a homeless family need to pay more than four stones in rent?

It's like knocking the bone and sucking the marrow!

Liu Xun shook his head and sighed. Fortunately, he came to the Fang family Zhuangzi today, if he let Le Yanwei and other supervised imperial historians who were instructed by others come to see this scene, and properly impeach the Fang family father and son to His Majesty, the matter will be a big problem!

He was angry in his heart, your family is so rich, why bother to take such a little bit from the common people? I'm afraid that even if the villagers in Zhuangzi pay the ground rent for all the year's output, it is not worth the ten days and a half months of income on the Fangjiawan Wharf in the south of Chang'an City, right?

It's really unkind to be rich!

Dozens of fat pigs were slaughtered to entertain the villagers? Such a small favor can make the squeezed villagers grateful to Dade, and pay several times more rent than the imperial court regulations but they don't know it, but instead praise the Fang family for their kindness and generosity......

Liu Xun is not a righteous gentleman, he knows the way to drill camps in the officialdom best, and his temperament has little to do with evil and hatred. He has always admired Fang Xuanling, and feels that Fang Xuanling is a clear stream in the court, different from those officials who fight for the interests of the family, and he is a real gentleman.

He didn't think that Fang Xuanling would go back to exploit the people, but the Fang family had a big business, and it was inevitable that half of the scum would come out and do such dirty things in the name of the Fang family's father and son......

Liu Xun thought for a while and walked over.

He doesn't have a tough backstage, let alone a strong backer, and the saint is not Youlong, in addition to his own ability to rise all the way to the officialdom, more is his reputation accumulated in the folk and officialdom, but when it comes to him Liu Xun, who dares not to praise "not afraid of power"?

Of course, the trick to winning such a reputation of "not afraid of power" is to "pick and pinch persimmons"......

The more you challenge those who are powerful and have high achievements, the more you can show that you are not afraid of power!

How can a person who dares to wrestle with important ministers in the DPRK and the central government for the slightest mistake not be a loyal minister who is upright and loyal?

In order to speed up the process of paying rent, the Fang family set up several stalls to weigh the amount of grain, all of which were in charge of domestic servants and scribes. At this time, several families were paying rent, and the servants who surveyed kept climbing up and down the vehicles, reporting the numbers, and the scribes next to them recorded them, and then the rent payers signed and signed after confirming that they were correct.

Liu Xun walked quickly to the thin old man's ancestors and grandchildren, but no one paid attention to them for a while......

Seeing that the grandfather and grandson drove into the gate of Zhuangzi to unload the grain, Liu Xun took three steps and made two steps, pulled the old man off the wheel, and said quickly: "The old man will wait for a while." ”

The old man was taken aback by him, and said curiously: "What advice does this official have?" ”

Although Liu Xun is not wearing an official robe, he is in a high position and commanding, so he naturally has a bearing that is different from ordinary people, and he knows at a glance that he is not an ordinary person.

Liu Xun said: "Don't dare to advise, I will help you today and ask the Fang family for your hard-earned money!" ”

"What?"

The old man looked confused, thinking that he was deaf......

Liu Xun took the old man's hand and said with emotion: "Although it was because of the Fang family's acceptance that the big guy had a place to settle down that day, the grain that he had worked so hard to grow all year round had to be exploited and squeezed by the Fang family with such a harsh rent, which really made me feel sad!" Since it is the right time for him today, let me speak up and let the Fang family return the food to your fellow villagers! ”

Scaring people is also skilled, who is Fang Xuanling? It can be said that it is the head of His Majesty's eyes and Chinese ministers, and the zaifu of the world! Liu Xun dared to scold Fang Xuanling, but he would not directly deal with Fang Xuanling, he only said that he would recover the overpaid rent for the people, but he did not say that he would sue the Fang family who was "rich and unkind".

He believes in Fang Xuanling's character, but he also believes in what he sees with his eyes, as long as the black sheep of the Fang family is eliminated, he can not only win praise from the people, but even make Fang Xuanling look at him differently.

The scheming is indeed deep......

The old man was confused when he heard this, and he was puzzled: "What kind of rent is overpaid?" I haven't paid more, here are the amounts we should pay, strictly speaking, the old man took advantage of the Fang family, if you use a wooden bucket to measure, the food here is not as much as four stones......"

Liu Xun had already preconceived, and subconsciously decided that the old man was afraid of the power of the Fang family, and did not dare to admit the fact of paying more rent, and comforted: "Don't be afraid! A certain is the middle of the imperial history of the dynasty, who is ordered to supervise hundreds of officials and picket the lawlessness of the world, even if the father and son of the Fang family stand here, this official can also seek justice for you! ”

After speaking, without waiting for the old man to argue, he had already puffed up his chest and shouted: "Who is the person in charge of rent collection today?" Hurry up and bring it over! ”

There was silence all around.

Everyone was stunned by Liu Xun's demeanor, and looked at this person with a righteous face, as if he was incarnated as a Ximen leopard who "wisely punishes the three elders and is righteous for a thousand years......

Liu Xun shouted, and found that no one responded, and suddenly became a little annoyed and angry, are the Fang family so arrogant? The dignified Yushi Zhongcheng personally came to the door, but he ignored it?

It's crazy!

At this moment, he himself has been edified by the "righteousness" he has created, and he thinks that he is the embodiment of justice, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu comes, he will stand on the side of justice, and the gods and Buddhas will dare to scare him! Strode up to a servant of the Fang family, and asked sharply: "Can't you hear what this official is saying?" Which scum is the Fang family responsible for collecting rent today? Quickly identify it to the official, and the official will bring this bastard who exploits the people to justice, remove this scourge for the Fang family, and return the people to a bright future! ”

The servant was stupid at Liu Xun's horizontal eyebrows, subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and pointed to the big umbrella at the front......

Before this servant could speak, Liu Xun had already strode over, and asked loudly as he walked: "Although you are all civilians, you are also the object of protection of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if you can't stand up if you are oppressed and exploited, who can protect you for the rest of your life?" With this official here, don't be afraid, the prime minister is honest and upright, and he is a model for the world, and he must not know that there are slaves in the family who are doing evil, how can the dignified family tolerate such scum corrupting the door? ”

While speaking loudly and awe-inspiringly, he walked over to the huge sun umbrella, and said to himself: "Come on, come on, today this official will clean up the door for the Fang family...... Uh......"

When he came to the umbrella, he saw a hideous face that had already been covered with frost, and a pair of beautiful eyes seemed to shoot out three flavors of true fire, vowing to burn his flesh and blood, and then crush his bones and ashes!

Liu Xun shuddered with fright, opened his mouth wide, and looked at the angry Princess Gaoyang in front of him incredibly, that petite and delicate body seemed to have turned into a sword of leaning on the sky, and the murderous aura was severe!

How can this person collect rent here?

Thinking about his words just now, Liu Xun was sweating profusely and stammered: "Palace, palace...... Your Highness ......"

"Bang!"

Princess Gaoyang suddenly got up and slapped the table in front of her fiercely, the two rows of little white teeth creaked, and she couldn't wait to bite Liu Xun's head in one bite, and her little face was angry, and she said word by word: "What a royal historian, you are a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, and this palace is a villain who bullies the people and fish and meat towns, right?" Okay, okay, this palace is standing here, don't you want to be the master of the people? Isn't it to clean up the door style for the Fang family? Come, tell Hongu, what are you going to do? Did he slander his father and cut the title of the palace, or did he let Erlang take a leave of absence? Well?! ”

Her Royal Highness the Princess's lungs are about to explode!

finally came a chance to get close to Zhuang Ke, in order to express her approachability as a princess, to show her existence and status, and to be said to be a heinous township tyrant by this old bastard, which is unbearable!

If this matter is settled, where is the majesty of this princess?
