Chapter 417: Hongmen Banquet.

Jiang Tonghai's mansion was not as dangerous as Ye Xing and the others thought.

It's very lively tonight, and it's lit up, so that the autumn wind blows and sways.

After Ye Xing and the others walked into Jiang Tonghai's mansion, Jiang Tonghai, Tong Sanqian and Yan Zhenqing hurriedly walked out to greet them, they looked very attentive, they must not look like they had a conspiracy.

It's just that even so, they don't dare to slack off.

"Lord Ye can come, it's really a shield!" Jiang Tonghai said with a smile after he greeted him.

Ye Xing just smiled faintly: "You're polite, we came here to ask you for money, how can we not come?" ”

Jiang Tonghai's face stagnated slightly, but then he immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Lord Ye and a few people are invited to come in, General Mei will be here soon." ”

It turns out that they really have a purpose today.

But even so, Ye Xing and the others were not afraid, they saw what kind of person this Mei Dexue was.

There is a neat small table in the hall, and in the middle there is a slightly larger one, which is supposed to be for Mei Dexue to sit on, after Ye Xing and the others sat down in order, he didn't wait for Mei Dexue's arrival and asked Jiang Tonghai, Tong Sanqian and Yan Zhenqing directly: "The three promised to pay all the taxes owed within three days, and today is the last day of the three-day period, I don't know what a few people think?" ”

Ye Xing understood very well that if he wanted to subdue Jiang Tonghai and the three of them in the fastest time and make them pay taxes obediently, he had to do it before Mei Dexue came.

And Ye Xing's expectation was really good, as soon as he raised this question, Jiang Tonghai and the others delayed in every way, as if they were waiting for someone to come, but Ye Xing was not a person to be messed with, he saw Jiang Tonghai and a few people like this, so he said angrily: "If you don't want to solve it through peaceful means, then I have to use the methods of the imperial court." ”

Ye Xing made it clear that the method of the imperial court was naturally to raid the house.

Jiang Tonghai stroked his already round belly, and said with a smile: "Lord Ye, we didn't say no, please rest assured, after eating this meal, we will pay those taxes immediately." ”

Although Jiang Tonghai said this, his face was already covered with sweat, and his words were obviously perfunctory.

Just when Ye Xing was about to say it more certainly, a person hurriedly ran over and shouted, "General Mei has arrived!" ”

Everyone was shocked, this Mei Dexue still came after all.

But Ye Xing just smiled faintly, he wanted to see who this General Mei Dexue was, and what he was capable of.

Just when Ye Xing was thinking, a person had already walked in surrounded by everyone, that person was not very tall, but it gave people a feeling of being tall, that person had no hair on his head, he was bald, and his eyes were very small, and his nose was still a little collapsed.

Such a person is not handsome and majestic, but that person walked in slowly like this, which makes people dare not despise him.

That person was Mei Dexue, and after he came in, he only smiled slightly at everyone, and then went straight to the seat that Jiang Tonghai had prepared for him.

After Mei Dexue sat down, he motioned for everyone to sit down, Ye Xing didn't want to be at his mercy, but when Mei Dexue waved his hand to let everyone sit down, he couldn't help but sit down, as if he was confused.

When everyone sat down, Mei Dexue raised a glass of wine, then looked at Ye Xing and said: "I heard that Lord Ye walks all over the world and is very famous. ”

Ye Xing smiled lightly, is there any connection between these two things?

Ye Xing arched his hand: "General Mei is polite, I am just an unknown junior, how can I have General Mei's reputation." ”

This sentence already has a pun meaning, but Mei Dexue didn't seem to hear it, but just smiled faintly: "Lord Ye is really polite, but I don't know why Lord Ye walks in the world, why did he stay in such a small nameless county today?" ”

Hua Zhi dreamed that Mei Dexue asked like this, so he couldn't help but say: "It's not because there are a few moths here that have made this nameless county a miasma." ”

Mei Dexue's eyes flashed, and then she looked at Hua Zhimeng and said: "Presumably, this must be Lord Ye's confidante Hua Zhimeng girl, it's really famous as seeing it, it's really amazing." ”

What Mei Dexue said was not a little obscene, but Hua Zhimeng sounded uncomfortable, she wanted to stand up and argue with Mei Dexue, at this time Ye Xing suddenly grabbed her, and then smiled at Mei Dexue: "General Mei's words are good, if Jiang Tonghai and a few people can pay the tax arrears, everything in this nameless county is on the right track, and I will naturally take people away." ”

At this time, Jiang Tonghai suddenly stood up and said: "General Mei, don't listen to their nonsense, when do we owe ghost taxes, we are all innocent people, and we dare to owe taxes there!" ”

After Jiang Tonghai finished speaking, Tong Sanqian and Yan Zhenqing also hurriedly knelt down and echoed, they completely lost the caution and diligence just now, they seemed to have suddenly changed as a person.

Seeing this, Huo Qing was angry, and actually scolded: "Okay, the three of you really change your face faster than turning the book, you are really shameless, you are really perfunctory to us......" Huo Qing scolded so badly, almost ignoring the face of his county order.

Ye Xing had thought of this a long time ago, as soon as Jiang Tonghai and their backers came, they would still be afraid of Ye Xing and them, but even if Mei Dexue came, would he Ye Xing be willing to stop there?

Ye Xing stopped Huo Qing, and then looked at Mei Dexue coldly: "General Mei wants to meddle in this matter?" ”

Mei Dexue smiled faintly: "It's not that I want to interfere, the main thing is that the money of the three of them has already been contributed to me as a military salary, and they still have money to pay taxes?" ”

This situation was something that Ye Xing and the others didn't expect, they didn't expect that Jiang Tonghai and the others would actually give their tax evasion money to Mei Dexue to train their troops, but the army has the establishment of the imperial court, how dare Mei Dexue train in this place?

"General Mei trains troops, can you get the emperor's consent?" Ye Xing continued to ask coldly.

Mei Dexue suddenly put away her smile at this time, and said coldly: "Why do I have to get the emperor's consent to train the army." ”

This sentence shocked everyone, all the soldiers and horses in the world belong to the emperor, but Mei Dexue dared to say such a thing, could he not want to rebel?

Nameless County is a very remote place, it is estimated that even the emperor would not know that there is such a place, and now someone is actually training here privately, and its purpose is eighty percent impure.

It's just that the evidence is not enough now, how dare Ye Xing and the others say anything casually, not to mention, Mei Dexue is in power, and they can't offend this person now.
