"Well! The wine is really good, the music is good, and the beauty is even better." There was a small square table in the huge back hall of Jinling Lingfu, which was full of delicious food; Qin An was sipping a small drink, squinting his old eyes, and looked at The two stunning dancers in their twenties and eighties kept moving their lotus steps and spinning in circles.
"Master, we have a visitor." A boy outside the door bowed to report.
"What time is it? Just tell him that the master is not feeling well and has gone to bed." Qin An looked at the two stunning dancers at this time, and he might have forgotten who his parents were.
"Master, I'm afraid not, this person has already come in." The door was kicked open with a bang, and the boy was thrown into the back hall by a girl in black clothes and fell to the ground.
"Master Qin is really in a good mood. There are wine, meat, and beauties, but the workers in the shops in Jinling City and whose silver coins have been withheld are not as lucky as adults." The girl in black yelled angrily.
"Who are you? How dare you break into the Jinling Ling's Mansion at night, come and capture it for me." Qin An shouted when he saw this. You can imagine the anger in a person's heart if his interest is disturbed.
"Look what this is?" The girl in black took out the token of Jingwei Mansion and held it in front of Qin An's eyes.
"You, are you a guard of the Jingwei Mansion?" Qin An looked at the token and suddenly woke up from the drunkenness. He quickly waved to the two dancers: "Stop dancing and get out."
The two dancers were frightened by this sudden scene. After hearing this scolding, they immediately covered their faces as if they were being amnesty. Qin An bowed and smiled at the girl in black with a flattering look on his face: "It's so late. I wonder what this lord’s orders are?”
"I heard that there are fake tax collectors in the west of Jinling City, and I want to recruit two policemen from you to go and check it out." The girl in black said coldly.
"This is easy to handle. It is my Jinling Order's duty to cooperate with Shangguan." This Qin An really turned his back faster than flipping through a book. One moment he was furious, and the next moment he was patting his chest and taking over everything.
At this time of the year, the household department is already empty. But today, in the lobby of the Ministry of Revenue, Shangshu Li Chongde had a gloomy look on his face. He kept tapping the table with two fingers of his right hand. There were officials in green robes sitting on the left and right sides of his head. They lowered their heads. He had a submissive look on his face, as if he didn't even dare to express his dignity.
"Salpa, as the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, how come you can't even handle this job well?" Li Chongde suddenly stopped tapping his fingers and cursed the green-robed official on the left: "I asked you to think In order to increase the revenue of the national treasury, you are lucky enough to actually raise taxes from the Su family. Now, not only has there been an incident of fake tax collectors, but the mutiny caused by the Su family's deducting money from people is also blamed on us. , let me lose this old face in front of His Majesty."
"Sir, please calm down. I have no choice but to withdraw from my humble position, so I came up with this strategy." Shaba'er felt aggrieved in her heart: "You agreed with this strategy at the time, but now that something has happened, you have pushed it aside and turned me into someone else." Not anymore."
"And you, Zhu Danian, you are the right servant of the Ministry of Revenue. You usually have nothing to do. You are eating, drinking, having fun, bragging and staying with prostitutes. You are always in charge of the tax collection of the Ministry of Revenue. I want to know, these fake tax collectors. Where did the uniforms and account books come from, and where did the official seals come from?" Li Chongde turned to the green-robed official on the right and cursed again.
"This, this..." Zhu Danian's voice was so low that he might not even be able to hear clearly: "This humble position must be investigated thoroughly."
"Investigate in detail? By the time you find out, I am afraid that my black gauze hat will have been given to someone else a long time ago." Li Chongde stood up and said: "His Majesty has decreed that the Tingwei Mansion and the Jingwei Mansion will jointly investigate the case. You two Please cooperate well with me. If the case cannot be solved within twenty days, hum! Before I lose the Wusha, I will take it from both of you."
"Yes, yes! This official will definitely be able to investigate the case." The two of them kowtowed.
"You two should hurry up. When will you be able to reach the west of the city with this kind of foot power?" The girl in black has excellent physical skills. If she didn't mean to be equal, she would have thrown the two policemen thousands of miles away.
"Auntie, you are a guard of the Jingwei Mansion; we are just two ordinary guards, how can we compare with you." One of the guards complained.
"That's right, why do you want to come to us when you can't do it?" Another person sent someone to puddle them on the ground: "We're not leaving."
"Even so, I won't leave either." The two policemen simply acted rogue.
"Are you leaving?" The girl in black came to the two of them in a few breaths, her face covered with frost.
"If you don't leave, let's see what you can do to us?"
"That's right, seeing how fierce you are despite your young age, who will dare to marry you in the future?"
The two policemen began to tease the girl one by one.
"Papa! If you say one more thing, believe it or not, I will kill you." The girl in black was obviously angered by the two police officers and slapped each of them.
"You hit someone? You stinky girl actually hit someone!" The two police officers didn't expect the girl to actually hit them, so they shouted excitedly.
"Hahaha! It's a blessing to be beaten by a beautiful woman. You two grandsons are called bears." A burly man wearing a red uniform with the word "tax" on it landed in front of them after a few ups and downs, staring at him lewdly. The girl in black said: "I never expected to meet such a beauty in this wilderness."
"How dare a wild bird collecting taxes dare to scold us?" The two policemen, who didn't know the heights of the world, immediately began to scold the burly man again.
The burly man was not annoyed when he heard the scolding, and grinned at the two policemen; a cold light flashed by, and a thin blood mark appeared on the necks of the two men, and then blood spurted out.
At this moment, the figure of the girl in black moved. She pulled out the Emei thorn on her lower back, tapped her feet in turn, and her beautiful figure began to rotate around the burly man.
"Clang, clang, clang!" The black-clothed girl's Emei thorn stabbed faster and faster, but the burly figure never even moved her body, and the dagger in her hand was able to block her attack every time.
"Spectral Flash Thorn." The Emei Thorn in the girl's hand suddenly changed from one to three, attacking the burly man from the top, middle and bottom.
The burly man did not dodge or evade, only a layer of golden light shrouded his whole body, like a piece of golden armor; "Dang Dang Dang Dang" three times, the three Emei thorns were bounced away, and the burly man's huge palm
Everything struck the girl in black on the shoulder point of her left arm, causing her to cover her arm and take a few steps back.
"Hahaha, how are you? If you don't obey me, I haven't had a good time since I came to Jinling City." The burly man said and stretched out his huge palm to the girl in black.
"Who is it? Dare to ruin your grandfather's good deeds?" But not only did his hand fail to touch the girl, he caught a locust stone instead.
"Wearing clothes with the word 'tax' in the name, but not looking like a tax officer, you attacked the small fenced courtyard in the west of the city?" Tong Bo, dressed in smart clothes, slowly walked out of the shadows.
"Hey! Is there another nosy?" The burly man grinned again, his body rose up, and a cold light hit Tong Bo's face like an eagle's beak pecking at it.
Seeing this, Tong Bo advanced instead of retreating. He turned his back to avoid the blow from the burly man. At the same time, he turned his right hand and a flying needle shot out and hit the burly man's pubic area.
I saw the golden light rising all over the burly man's body again. Tong Bo saw the white light gathered on his middle and index fingers and pointed at the flying needle. The flying needle seemed to be born with spirituality and violently collided with the rising light. without falling.
In just three breaths, the flying needle's needle had fallen into the yellow light and was about to hit the burly man's body. The burly man shouted, and the yellow light from his body flicked towards the outer circle, forcing the flying needle an inch away. Taking advantage of this gap, the body quickly dodged to the left; the flying needle passed by the edge of the aperture and penetrated deeply into the tree trunk behind the man.
"The body of King Kong, the blade of the Black Eagle; where did you come from?" Tong Bo put away his two fingers, his eyes solemn and cold: "You actually didn't abide by the rules there and killed people without authorization. The ones you killed were the elderly and children."
"So you came out from there too?" The burly man shook his head repeatedly and disappeared in a flash, leaving only a series of sound transmissions: "If we really fight with you, it will be endless. Forget it, this woman, I'm sorry No more."
"Even if you run to the end of the world, I will catch you." Tong Bo also used his inner strength to spread his voice far away.
"Hey, it depends on your ability." The burly man's voice came back again.
"Are you the Jade Rabbit guard?" Tong Bo had just fought fiercely with the burly man and did not notice the girl in black. He didn't see her identity until he calmed down.
"Who are you and how do you know me?" The girl in black held her left arm with confusion and gratitude on her face.
"My humble position is Tong Bo. I am the night guard of Xuanwu Academy. I was going to investigate the small courtyard in the west of Jinling City, but I didn't expect to meet you here." Tong Bo bowed to the Jade Rabbit.
"With Guard Tong's ability, he is actually just a night guard?" Yutu looked at Tong Bo in disbelief.
"There's nothing wrong with being a night guard. They all work for the hospital." Tong Bo started to joke again: "By the way, are you here to investigate the case of false tax returns?"
"The head of the Siyuan ordered that we should come together with Master Guizhao, but he and An Dafang drank Ning tincture in Zuifeng Tower. I had no choice but to borrow two people from Jinling Lingfu. Unexpectedly, I encountered this incident halfway, and I really appreciate Guard Tong for coming to the rescue." Yutu hugged Tong Bo's fists.
"They are all guards across the courtyard, no need to be polite; there is a small fenced courtyard in front, how about we go there and have a look?" Tong Bo complained in his heart: "These two drunkards will definitely cause trouble if they get together."
"It's just what I want. Guard Tong, please." Yutu didn't show any pretense and agreed directly.
In the Yanyi Pavilion, Murong was wearing a white robe with wide sleeves and dancing with a sword in the small courtyard. His movements didn't seem to be smooth and coherent at all. Instead, they were sluggish, rigid, and sloppy.
"Every time I see Mr. Murong, I am so interested. This sword dance has the essence of slowness and clumsiness. My little sister admires it." In front of the door across the courtyard, a woman in a yellow jacket stood with a smile.
"Miss Yin is finally back. How was your trip to Guangling this time?" Murong Li also smiled knowingly when he saw Yin Ying. He threw his sword to Wei Tianlin and motioned for him to go down first.
"Don't mention it, my little sister was tricked by someone." Yin Ying deliberately looked angry, which was really charming: "That person took a fake land deed from me and defrauded me of the title deed."
"Miss Yin, relax, Li will definitely say this for you." Murong Li gently lifted the bangs in front of Yin Ying's forehead and handed the jade hairpin over: "This is the jade hairpin that Li carefully prepared for the girl. Like it?"
"Why did the prince give Ying such an expensive gift?" Yin Ying looked like she wanted to welcome it but refused.
"What's wrong with beautiful jade matching a beautiful woman? Let Li wear it for the girl." Murong gently rubbed the jade hairpin on Yin Ying's bun and looked at it for a moment: "It's so beautiful."
"Thank you, Master! I heard that a fake tax collector appeared in Jinling City during Ying's absence, and Master Murong also lost a lot of money. Who is so bold?" Yin Ying changed the topic at the right time.
"No matter who dares to scheme against me, he will definitely pay the price." Murong Li's gentle eyes changed instantly: "Young lady must help me in this matter."
"Young master, if something happens, Ying will help you." Yin Ying said with a smile.
