Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Looking at the dim lobby under the weak candlelight, Guo Ye couldn't help but despise Wu Maocai and said, what a sting, would you die if you lit one more candle?

"Father-in-law!"

Guo Ye called out suddenly.

blah blah blah!

Wu Maocai was so frightened that his palms trembled, and the account book in his hand fell to the ground. Then he looked towards the entrance of the hall with lingering fear, and suddenly saw that it was his cheap son-in-law, Guo Ye.

Hehe, Wu Maocai was also a little surprised when he saw Guo Ye. He was wearing a square hooded hair, soap and green clothes, and a small iron ruler stuck in his waist. It's okay, kid, he's energetic enough.

Then he nodded slightly to Guo Ye, then bent down to pick up the account book and put it on the table, and asked, "Who am I? is you."

Guo Ye stepped forward and bowed slightly to Wu Maocai, then asked loudly, "How is father-in-law? I haven't seen you for a while, but I really want to spoil my son-in-law."

The phrase "father-in-law" and "son-in-law" made Wu Maocai feel apprehensive, because there was always a weasel giving chicken New Year's greetings—the feeling of being uneasy.

Then he said good-bye and motioned Guo Ye to sit down, while muttering in his heart, as long as you don't come back, I will be in better health than anything else.

After Guo Ye was seated, Wu Maocai raised his legs and asked, "Guo Ye, it's already dusk, you're not on duty in the yamen, you're not staying in the county town, why did you come back to Dongliu Township?"

Looking at Wu Maocai's cautious appearance, Guo Ye couldn't help sighing in his heart, it seems that it is really not ordinary difficult to persuade this iron cock to pluck its feathers.

Then he went over what he wanted to say in his mind again, then moved the chair with his buttocks and approached Wu Maocai step by step, approached him mysteriously, and said softly: "Father-in-law, do you want to bring down the Liu family and make the Liu family go away completely?" Leaving Dongliu Township?"

Uh?

Wu Maocai was taken aback, why didn't he think about it, thinking about it, the Liu family and the Wu family have been fighting each other for decades, and Wu Maocai even dreamed of killing the bastard father and son of the Liu family.

But when Guo Ye talked about it all the time, Wu Maocai still felt uneasy.

What is it called?This means that when things go wrong, there must be demons, and this kid Guo Ye must not hold back any good farts.

Seeing that although Wu Maocai was moved, but he still didn't express his opinion, Guo Ye had no choice but to give another strong medicine.

He cleared his throat, and then said to Wu Maocai: "Father-in-law, don't say that my son-in-law doesn't take care of your old man. Today, I specially send you a big fortune!"

A big fortune?

Wu Maocai regained his energy immediately, and his eyes, which were as small as mung beans, suddenly opened up, as big as a bull's eye.

Chapter 21

This is tempting!

Seeing Wu Maocai in such a state, Guo Ye couldn't help but sigh, if that's the case, the pursuit of profit has always been the main theme and common topic of Vanity Fair.

At this time, Wu Maocai was like a great white shark in the sea. As soon as he smelled the smell of blood, he quickly rounded up and caught Guo Ye's fishhook tightly.

"My son-in-law, come, come, come, come on, if you speak more carefully, what kind of rich and honor is it?"

Wu Maocai also brought his fleshy old face closer to Guo Ye, and suddenly thought of something, he hurriedly shouted to the outside of the hall: "Come here, serve tea for my uncle, serve good tea, I don't know my uncle's eyesight." Isn't it easy to come back?"

During the shouting, the saliva splashed and spit on Guo Ye's face.

Damn, Guo Ye couldn't help wiping his face with his sleeve, and spat in his heart, father-in-law, can't you pay attention to your image?

Regardless of Guo Ye's reaction, Wu Maocai said with a smile on his face, "My son-in-law, hurry up and don't leave anything behind. Are you trying to kill your father-in-law and me?"

The Wu Maocai at this time is completely different from the Wu Maocai in Guo Ye's original impression, there is a world of difference.

However, Guo Ye was even more happy that Wu Maocai was so philistine and wretched, otherwise how would he implement his plan, or how would he fulfill the Haikou boast that Pang Feihu and his brothers had boasted in the big room of Zaoban today?

So he slowly told about the loss of his colleague Zhang Xiaoqi's tax and food hoarded in Dongliu Township Sun Valley.

Moreover, he clarified the suspicions in the hearts of himself, team leader Pang Feihu and others.

Afterwards, Guo Ye said to Wu Maocai: "Father-in-law, a hundred shi tax and food has disappeared. Even if we think about things with our asses, we know that this matter must have something to do with Lizheng Liu's father and son. Think about it, If the yamen finds out that this matter was done by the Liu family, what good fruit does Liu Laolai's family have?"

Wu Maocai frowned as he smacked his mouth and listened, marveling at Liu Laolai, the bastard's daring, but he didn't seem to see where his wealth was in this matter?

So he sat up straight with a straight face, slowly opened the distance between himself and Guo Ye, and asked in a flat tone: "My son-in-law, this matter seems to have nothing to do with the old man. Judging from what you just said, the old man can't see it either." Where is the great wealth you said?"

I rely on!

The old fox is really not so easy to fool, he is a master who does not see the rabbit and does not scatter the eagle.

While Guo Ye was belittling Wu Maocai, he was also secretly annoyed that he didn't talk about the main points. If he continued to grind like this, it would wear down the patience of Wu Maocai, an old fox who is crazy about profits.

So he went straight to the topic and said: "Father-in-law, there are still two days left before the time limit for the delivery of grain by the Yamen. But in just two days, it is impossible to do anything to the Liu family without evidence, and it is impossible to find Return the lost tax and rations. If the time limit for paying the rations is delayed, the whole squad will not be able to escape punishment, and even the county magistrate Weigu may be blamed and be scolded by the county magistrate. So..."

"So you put your idea on our Wu family's head, and you want the Wu family to advance the one hundred shi grains for your class, so that your class can do business, right?" Wu Maocai answered the question abruptly. .

hiss……

Guo Ye was dumbfounded when he received Wu Maocai's words. The philistine and impatient look on the dare-love old fox's face was an illusion, but in fact, his heart was as bright as a bright mirror?

At this time, Wu Maocai had long since lost the smile just now, replaced by a dead face.

Wu Maocai pinched the beard on his chin and snorted sadly: "Guo Ye, Guo Ye, I don't dislike your background as a tenant and recruited you into the Wu family, and spent money to manage the county captain for you. Is this how you serve the Wu family and thank my father-in-law for such a good job? You are turning your elbows out, isn’t it too cruel? That’s a hundred shi of silver? You bastard want to Empty the granary of my Wu family?"

At the end, Wu Maocai was so angry that he jumped up and roared hoarsely.

He knew that this kid was not something to be fooled with before he sent Guo Ye away from Wu's house to work in the county, but he still didn't expect this white-eyed wolf to be this level.

A hundred stones of grain would cost [-] jin, and a jin of grain would cost [-] yuan at this year's market price, and [-] jin of grain would cost about five hundred taels of snowflake silver. One year's harvest.

Guo Ye beat his Wu family's income for a year. Isn't this killing Wu Maocai?

No, no, no, not even beating him to death.

Wu Maocai now wished he could slap Guo Ye to death, a rambling bastard.

Seeing that Wu Maocai was on the verge of going berserk, Guo Ye also looked anxious, and quickly got up to support him, then stroked his back gently, and comforted him: "Father-in-law, don't worry, just listen to me first. Finish it."

Wu Maocai snorted, shook off Guo Ye's support, and sat straight on the big chair in his hall, panting heavily.

He opened his voice and cursed in a willful posture: "Speaking of a bastard, you don't even want to attack the Wu family's food storage today. Besides, the Wu family doesn't have any food left."

Hearing this, Guo Ye despised his father-in-law, a miser, in his heart, and there was no food left to return the landlord's house.

Your sister, the big granaries of the Wu family are filled to the brim, you old picker, just wait for the grain worms to feed the mice.

Anyway, today Guo Ye made up his mind to ask the Wu family to advance the food storage, and he and Wu Maocai got involved, and they would never die.

Then he continued to seduce: "Father-in-law, why don't you look forward when you only see the grain in front of the tip of your nose?"

Wu Maocai glanced at Guo Ye with a bad face, and hummed: "After all, it's not your Guo family's food. You can stand and talk without back pain. What is it that Wu's family has today? It depends on several generations. If you are diligent and thrifty at home, you will be successful at night watch. You should die of this today, Guo Ye."
