The police officer was running rampant, but he was not a fool with no eyesight. Seeing Gao Kan's manner of speaking, he seemed to be no ordinary person, and he became more concerned.
I was willing to go with him, but instead of rushing to arrest him, I looked up and down.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Hearing this, Gao Kan replied honestly: "The common people are just doing business, hurrying along the road, settling down and making ends meet."
"Are you really a merchant on the road?" the officer asked again.
"Yes." Gao Kan nodded and replied, "Does the officer want to continue the interrogation here, or take us to the county government office?"
Upon hearing this, the officer said coldly: "Since you want to go to the county government office, I will help you. Come on, take them all away for me."
The two guards beside him asked questions and hurriedly drew their swords and stepped forward.
Lin Chong and Tang Heng saw this and were about to stop them when Gao Kan said, "No problem, just go with them."
Seeing that Gao Kan opened his mouth, the two of them couldn't say any more, so they honestly asked the guards to escort them to the county government office.
Arriving at the county government hall, the other merchants were taken straight to the back hall, and after a while they all came out with grimaces.
After passing the hall, they left on their own without anyone stopping them.
The officer who came out from behind came forward, swept the crowd and said, "I just had my meal and need to rest for a while. I don't have time to chat with you. I think you are the first offender. Please pay the penalty and leave."
After hearing this, Gao Kan asked: "I don't know what the crime gold is, and how much do I have to pay?"
The officer glanced at him and said coldly: "How dare you do business with this fool who has never even heard of crime money?"
Gao Kan was confused when he heard this and couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, this is the first time that ordinary people have heard that under the rule of Wang Hua of the Song Dynasty, merchants still need to know what crime money is. I would like to ask you to teach me."
"Okay, sir, I will spend more time today and teach you how to behave."
The officer laughed scornfully and continued: "Anyone who is a businessman travels around and sells goods. He abides by the rules of each place. If he accidentally offends the local place, he must have an explanation."
"Our master is kind-hearted and doesn't want to see foreigners suffer, so he specially sets up a penalty fee. If there is a foreign businessman who doesn't know the rules and pays the penalty fee for a trivial matter, he will let him go after a lesson. He will not do anything in the future. If you do it again, do you understand?"
"That's it." Gao Kan suddenly realized.
The so-called "criminal money" is not the protection money that the Neihuang County government asks from passing merchants.
But I heard him say it in a high-sounding way, and it wasn't just about collecting gold and silver.
Seeing that Gao Kan was obedient, the officer said arrogantly: "Since you know the source of the crime money, just pay the money and leave."
Gao Kan smiled and said: "The grassroots people understand the sin money, but Master Cha hasn't said yet. Did the three young people break the rule under the rule, so they have to pay the sin money this time?"
"You are a person who makes you feel comfortable and knowledgeable. You have to give me a thumbs up, right?" the guard said coldly.
"I'm afraid you won't dare to take action then."
Looking at him, Gao Kan immediately said: "Today you forced the three of us to come to this county government office for no reason. Without saying a word, you asked us to pay some kind of crime money. I don't understand the crime money, but I know how to take advantage of it. I have some money, please take it and take a look."
"Hmph, looking for death!"
When the officer heard this, he was immediately furious. He cursed, called out the officers on the left and right, and stepped forward to capture the three of them.
Only then did Gao Kan take out the warrant given by Liang Zhongshu and said coldly: "The order from Mr. Liang Zhongshu of Daming Prefecture is here. We have something important to attend to. Where is Magistrate Neihuang?"
When the officer heard this, his face changed drastically.
"How do you have Liang Zhongshu's warrant? Who are you?"
"You are a little servant, you are not worthy of asking the county magistrate to come out and speak." Gao Kan said proudly.
Hearing this, the officer sneered and said: "You are so brave, you dare to pretend to be a subordinate of Master Zhongshu. I think the warrant in your hand is fake. Come on, teach me a lesson!"
When the officers on the left and right heard this, they immediately took action.
Lin Chong and Tang Heng had been angry for a long time, but now that the time had come, they couldn't take action anywhere.
I saw two people, one on the left and one on the right, each looking for a group of guards. After three strikes, five divided by two, they knocked the people to the ground, leaving only the guard standing there stunned.
After a while, he came back to his senses and shouted: "How dare you commit murder in the county government office!"
"How dare you, a bitch, arrest people randomly and bully the market!" Lin Chong stepped forward and kicked the officer straight to the head.
Then he picked him up with his backhand and asked, "Where is the county magistrate?"
The head catcher was now frightened out of his wits, and even begged for mercy: "Hero, spare your life, the magistrate is in the backyard."
"Take us there!" Lin Chong said, picking up the catcher and walking to the back hall.
The four of them came all the way to the back hall. The headman pointed in the direction of the wing and said, "The county magistrate is resting in the wing. Hero, please let me go?"
"If I let you go, how can I negotiate an explanation with the county magistrate?" Lin Chong snorted coldly, grabbed the man and walked to the wing.
When he came to the door of the wing and threatened the headman, he realized what was going on and hurriedly knocked on the door.
Then I heard an impatient voice coming from inside: "Who is it? Didn't you tell me not to disturb you?"
Vaguely, it seems that a woman's voice can still be heard in the room.
The catcher looked back at Gao Kan and whispered: "The county magistrate and my concubine are resting inside, young master..."
"Your Majesty the County Magistrate is quite leisurely and elegant. Coach Lin, please open the door. You can just wait outside."
Gao Kan's eyes moved, he stepped aside and asked Lin Chong to open the door.
Lin Chong said nothing, stepped forward and kicked the door open.
As soon as the door opened, he rushed into the room, looked straight towards the bed curtains, and saw two white figures on the bed. They were frightened by this sudden scene.
Gao Kan followed in and saw an old man in his fifties on the bed, with a delicate woman hiding behind him.
Neither of them had anything to hide their ugly bodies. They hurriedly grabbed the bed to cover themselves, but they couldn't block the endless spring scenery. Gao Kan glanced at them and waved to Lin Chong and Tang Heng to leave.
When the Neihuang County Magistrate saw this, he shouted angrily in a cold voice: "Where did the bad guy come from? He dared to break into the backyard of my county government office. Could it be that he is impatient with life?"
"My Lord County Magistrate, I never wanted to meet you like this, but your people don't know what to do."
Gao Kan said calmly, sat down at the table in the outer hall and poured himself a cup of tea.
Neihuang County Magistrate frowned when he saw this, and asked again: "I don't know who you are, why are you looking for me?"
"In accordance with the military order of Lord Liang Zhongshu of the Daming Prefecture, I have led the troops to exterminate the bandits in Huangmen Mountain. I thought that Huangmen Mountain would be considered as your territory under Huang's rule. I wanted to go to the city to inform you."
When Gao Kan said this, his expression suddenly darkened, and he said coldly: "I almost had your servants arrest you and get you punished."
"Lord County Magistrate, what do you think of this matter?"
"It turns out that he is the subordinate of Mr. Zhongshu. There may be a misunderstanding here. Please don't be angry. Wait until I dress up and call him to talk to me in person?" The county magistrate turned his eyes and asked.
"No need, I have already dealt with those treacherous and cruel officials for you, the county magistrate."
Gao Kan waved his hand and said.
