Huang Shan's expression became even colder when he learned that Ru Yan had met Huang Pi Zi on his way to escape.
"Why did Huang Pizi stop you?"
When Liu Ruyan saw her husband's expression turning cold, she felt a little frightened and hesitated for a while, unable to speak.
Realizing that his attitude frightened Ruyan, Huang Shan gently patted the back of Liu Ruyan's hand.
"Don't be nervous and speak slowly."
Liu Ruyan then recounted everything that happened after she met Huang Pizi.
He learned that Huang Pizi was originally going to stop him, but unexpectedly he didn't run to the back hill. Ruyan attacked him again and ran away.
Huang Shan has determined that the big dog was killed by Huang Pizi.
However, he had no witnesses and no physical evidence. It was difficult to convince the villagers and the government to arrest Huang Pizi with just his words.
At the moment, he can only strengthen his defenses to prevent Huang Pizi from attacking him.
"Ruyan, the big dog was killed by Huangpizi, we have to be more careful these days!"
Just as the villagers were cleaning up the mess after being attacked by bandits.
Huang Pizi had already thrown the murder weapon used to kill the big dog into the river and burned the clothes stained with the big dog's blood.
Looking at the bloody clothes that turned to ashes, Huang Pizi showed a somewhat ferocious smile.
But his smile soon disappeared.
Because the scene of Huangshan shooting the bandits flashed in his mind.
His body couldn't help but shudder.
He could kill a big dog by sneak attack, but Huangshan killed those bandits in Qingfeng Mountain as easily as he killed a chicken.
Chen Er, who claimed to be able to chop boulders with his sword, became a dead man in the blink of an eye.
Huang Pizi swallowed his saliva and looked at the house not far away.
After a while, Huang Pizi put on the stolen clothes and walked quickly towards the county seat.
If he wants to take revenge on Huangshan, he can only rely on the power of the government.
...
"Open the city gate!"
When the soldiers guarding the city gate heard the commander's order, they yawned and slowly opened the closed city gate.
The people who were waiting outside to enter the city began to line up when they saw this.
"It costs ten cents to enter the city!"
The soldiers guarding the gate knocked the gong to remind the people that the city gate was open, and shouted loudly that they had to pay a tax of ten cents to enter the city.
During the Daqian Dynasty, both silver and copper coins were used.
But compared with silver, copper coins are both low in value and heavy in weight.
Unless goods are bought and sold nearby, few merchants carry several large boxes of copper coins to do business.
But when it came to the official level, some exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes could only be paid in copper coins.
You can't charge ten cents for the city tax. Why don't you just give me a piece of silver?
No one pays more taxes for nothing!
The people who began to line up took out ten cents from their money bags and held them in their hands waiting for the soldiers to collect them.
"Hey, where's my wallet!?"
Suddenly someone in the queue shouted loudly.
This made the people in the queue instantly alert and tightened their grip on their money bags, fearing that something might happen to their own money bags as well.
Huang Pizi, who looked like a normal person and wore obviously ill-fitting clothes, flatteringly handed the ten cents to the soldier in front of him.
The soldier glanced at Huang Pizi, grabbed his collar and whispered: "Be more honest with me when we get to the city!"
Huang Pizi nodded repeatedly, took out another broken piece of silver and put it in the soldier's hand.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Jun. It's just a small thing!"
The soldier chuckled and patted Huang Pizi on the shoulder, waved his hand and put Huang Pizi into the county seat.
As soon as Huang Pizi entered the county town, he saw various breakfast stalls on the roadside.
Huang Pizi, who had been running around all night, weighed the heavy purse in his hand and walked to the breakfast stall with a smile.
"A bowl of multigrain porridge and two steamed buns!"
"You want meat!"
Huang Pizi, who had eaten and drank enough, walked to the main street of the county town, and his eyes couldn't help but look for the brothel singing house where Yingying Yanyan lived.
But the war at the brothel has not started yet.
Only the prostitutes who work day and night solicit customers outside their courtyards.
Huang Pizi looked at the sun and saw that it was still early. Without any hesitation, he hugged a prostitute and entered the courtyard.
By the time Huang Pizi's joy was over, the streets in the county town were already busy with traffic.
Huang Pizi asked pedestrians on the roadside where the county government office was, then hummed a cheerful song and wandered towards the county government office.
Arriving in front of the county government office, before Huang Pizi could open his mouth, two people dressed as government officials came over.
"Where are you from?"
"What are you doing here at the Yamen!?"
Huang Pizi quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Cha, I am Huang Pizi from Xiaofangshan Village!"
The yamen servant glanced at Huang Pizi, chuckled and nodded.
"So it's you, kid. Why are you here at the Yamen?"
Huang Pizi bowed immediately after hearing this.
"Master, I'm here to report to the official!"
"The villain discovered..."
Before Huang Pizi could finish speaking, a government servant coughed violently.
"Hey, I've been feeling a little angry recently. I'm going to buy some good tea to relieve the anger."
Another yamen servant immediately took over the conversation and pointed at the pimples on his face.
"Me too, look at my fire boil!"
Huang Pizi was stunned for a moment, then understood, and took out the stolen money bag with some reluctance, preparing to take the money to "honor" the government officials.
However, the yamen servant immediately snatched the money bag and invited Huang Pizi into the yamen with a smile.
"Old Zhang, someone wants to report to the official!"
An old official walked up to Huang Pizi with a pen and paper, looked at Huang Pizi, and then recorded his appearance in his notebook.
"A pointed mouth, monkey cheeks, triangular eyes, no beard, short stature, less than six feet."
Then the old official continued to ask.
"What's your name? Where do you live? Why did you report to the police?"
Huang Pizi honestly told the old official his name and where he lived.
"The villain Huang Pizi lives in Xiaofangshan Village."
"The reporter wants to report the village..."
Before Huang Pizi could finish what he said, the government servant who had just blackmailed Huang Pizi ran in with a look of panic on his face.
"Brothers, it's bad, Xiaofangshan Village was attacked by bandits."
"The head of their village sent someone to report the news overnight, and the person reporting the news is outside!"
The old official who was registering Huang Pizi was immediately stunned and looked down at the file he had recorded.
"Aren't you from Xiaofangshan Village?"
Huang Pizi was also extremely frightened at this moment, and he quickly lied.
"Yes, yes, that's why I came to report to the official."
Upon hearing this, the old official gave a look to the government officials who had just blackmailed Huang Pizi.
The two immediately returned the extorted money to Huang Pizi.
"I'm sorry, brother, we didn't know you were here to report a message."
Huang Pizi's head turned quickly when he saw this, but in the end he did not accept the money returned by the two Yamen servants.
"The two men have worked hard, so just keep the money."
"But I have one more thing to report."
"I would also like to ask you two to take me to see Grandpa for your convenience."
Seeing Huang Pizi giving money to him again, the faces of the two government servants suddenly lit up with joy.
But when they learned that Huang Pizi wanted to see the county magistrate, the two looked at each other with obvious hesitation.
