Seeing this person, Fang Buyu and Fang Dafang both shrank their necks and took two steps back involuntarily.

"Damn it! Who came to make trouble so early in the morning?" Zhang San said in one sentence, his voice as rough as a bull neighing.

The words were addressed to the young man beside him. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw Li Quan standing at the door.

Zhang San didn't know Li Quan, but he recognized Li Quan's official uniform.Like the young man, when he saw Fang Buyu with a bruised nose and swollen face behind Li Quan, he quickly understood.The expression of impatience immediately changed, facing a flattering smile on his face, he bowed slightly and said to Li Quan:

"Old Zhang's eyesight is poor, I didn't see the magistrate coming, so please forgive me if I miss you. Don't stand outside, sir, come in and sit down if you have something to say?"

"My lord, don't go in!" Fang Buyu reminded in horror.

Li Quan didn't intend to enter the room, but when he was about to refuse, he suddenly felt something hit his head.Then, a bean-sized drop of water fell from the sky, passed through the eyelids, wiped the tip of the nose, and landed on the lips...

Li Quan frowned slightly and looked up at the sky.

In the sky, the clouds rolled, and the sun in the morning was no longer suitable to be covered by dark clouds.The rain hadn't really started yet, but the occasional drop or two that fell was frighteningly large.

"Pfft!"

Looking at the surface of the stream behind him, countless fish were rolling out of the water, as if they were frightened by something, they jumped out of the water desperately.The fishermen working on the water looked at this scene in amazement. It was the first time they had seen such a strange phenomenon after working for so many years.

They didn't understand, but Li Quan knew that Yu'er's abnormal behavior proved that the next rain was not normal.Maybe there will be a heavy rain soon.

Tax collection is not a simple law enforcement process, but more about communicating and negotiating with people.

Li Quan knew that tax collection could not be received in just a few words, so he entered Zhang's house according to Zhang San's suggestion.

The subsequent negotiation was not as difficult as Li Quan imagined, and that Zhang was not an unreasonable person.The reason for beating Fang silently yesterday was because the kid pushed his nose up and his face was too bad for words, so he angered Zhang San.Moreover, Fang Buyu is now acting as a substitute, not the real Hebo ambassador, so he is not guilty of beating the imperial court official.But Zhang San doesn't want to pay taxes, that's for sure, because the tax collection date last month has passed for several days, and everyone is secretly delighted if they have escaped once, and now suddenly someone comes to make them make up for it, and no one is very happy. willing.

Li Quan understands this kind of psychology, so he needs to communicate.

After going back and forth, Zhang San finally agreed to pay the tax.However, there has been no consensus on how much to pay taxes for a long time.

Zhang San wants to pay according to the previous amount.But what Li Quan said was that it was the quota a few years ago. The past few years have passed. People's lives are getting better and better, and their income is naturally getting higher and higher. Naturally, the tax that should be paid must be raised.

Zhang San was unwilling, and Li Quan could not relax his conditions even if he tried hard and soft.After all, he couldn't do the thing of beating the imperial court official, and he was still somewhat afraid of the county magistrate.

Li Quan knew that these fishermen must have loopholes in taxation, so he threatened that if he did not follow his request, he would send someone to estimate the income of nearby fishermen.

This frightened Zhang San. If he really came to investigate, wouldn't he find out the big problem?So I can only grit my teeth and say that I want to sum up with other people.

Li Quan knew that the purpose of the trip had been achieved, so he didn't push too hard. He gave him a few days to prepare, and then took Fang Buyu and the other three to leave in a big way.

This process took about half an hour. As the ambassador of Hebo, Fang did not say a word, and Li Quan did it all for him.

Although Fang Buyu didn't speak, it didn't mean he didn't listen carefully.Seeing Mr. Li talking eloquently in front of Zhang San, who is feared by everyone, eating Zhang San to death everywhere, I feel admiration in my heart!At the same time, he seemed to realize that he seemed to have done something wrong before.

……

……

Coming out of Zhang San's house, the head was still covered with dark clouds, and the fish in the stream were still turning their bellies frantically, but the rain did not fall, but the wind became stronger in the morning.Dust filled the sky in mid-air, blowing so hard that people could not open their eyes, and layers of waves were also set off on the surface of the stream.

It is said that the thunder is loud and the rain is little, and the wind is the same. Li Quan reckoned that everything would be fine when the wind stopped.

Back at the county government office, there was an unexpected and reasonable guest waiting at the door early.

A slender figure stood in the strong wind like a falling leaf, but it was definitely the most beautiful leaf in the world. In Li Quan's eyes, it seemed that everything around him was automatically filtered, and only the other party was in his eyes...

The other party saw Li Quan from afar.Looking at her cheerful steps running towards Li Quan, one can imagine the smile on her face at this time.

"Master Li!"

"Master Rong? You... why are you here?" Li Quan was slightly surprised.

"Why? Master Li is so unwilling to see me? Or are you talking about an appointment with that girl Li Shang?" Li Qianrong stood in front of Li Quan with her little hands behind her back and said angrily. Like my little sister.

Li Qianrong seems to be in a good mood today, and her attitude towards Li Quan seems to be much warmer than before.It's a way of joking when we meet, and the sense of distance from before is obviously gone.

Li Quan was not surprised by Li Qianrong's arrival, but was surprised by Princess Rong's change towards him.

Hearing that Princess Rong, who had always been indifferent, suddenly appeared in front of him and treated him so casually, Li Quan didn't know what to say.

Seeing Li Quan's bewildered look, Li Qianrong was in a good mood.Reluctantly, the wind was really strong, the little mouth opened to say something but took a mouthful of sand, and the cheerful little eyebrows immediately knit together.

"Bah!"

"Why did the body of the daughter of the princess brave such a big wind and sand come out?"

"Who would have known! This wind starts from the beginning, what the hell kind of weather!" Li Qianrong complained, sticking out her little tongue, and when her little mouth was clean, she immediately recovered her cheerful expression, "But it doesn't matter, I'm not Jiao Didi Niang, this wind and sand is nothing? This time I came to Quxi County to find Sister Han Xue to play with. Who knew she was not at home, and I don’t know anyone else in Quxi County. Didn’t I just come to see Master Li? Mr. Li is a local snake, should the princess take me around here?"

Li Qianrong has changed too much!Li Quan couldn't stand it anymore: "The lower official also just came to Quxi County to take up his post, so I'm afraid he's not as familiar as the Princess!"

"Why? Don't you want to?" Li Qianrong pouted her mouth, her eyes widened before she smiled, "Master Li must thank me very much this time, I have done Master Li a great favor."

"Help? Help for what?"

"You can't say that, anyway, you will know later. What's the matter? Are you going to take me around?"

Li Quan looked at the wind and sand along the road, and the pedestrians were running away in panic. He said distressedly: "It's not that I don't want to take it, it's such a big wind and sand, where can we go?"

"What are you afraid of? This princess is not afraid, what are you afraid of as a man?"

Li Quan was embarrassed on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart.In any case, Li Qianrong no longer spoke to herself as the princess, which proved that she had become friends with the other party, and that the other party took the initiative to come to her, proving that her plan was being realized step by step.

"Well, where does the Princess want to go?"

"You are the master, of course you are the master."

Li Quan scratched his head, unable to hold back a word.Li Qianrong was powerless for a while, and thought for a while: "With such a strong wind, there must be waves by the stream. Let's go to the stream and have a look."

Li Quan had no objection, and walked to the stream with Li Qianrong.

Under the wind and sand all over the sky, there were no pedestrians on the street. Small trees that were blown down and baskets dropped by someone's house could be seen everywhere. The sight was actually earthy yellow. After walking a few steps, Li Quan felt that his head was covered with sand.

Li Qianrong curled up and hid behind Li Quan, looking at Quxi County under the wind and sand with great interest.

Where has the pampered princess seen such a desolate scene?So I don't feel a little bit boring along the way.

"It's by the stream." Li Quan stopped behind a big tree not far from the stream, shaking the dust on his head and said.

Li Quan's figure blocked the view of Quxi, but the rushing and manic sound of running water reached Li Qianrong's ears immediately.

Loosening the corner of Li Quan's clothes, Li Qianrong poked her head out to look at the water.

Quxi at this time is completely different from that at the Lantern Festival. The latter was a daughter of tenderness, but now she is a violent beast.Although it is a stream, the turbulent scene at this time makes people feel the power from the river. The flowing water is like a galloping horse, and the color of the tumbling water is deeper than the white clouds. I don't feel cold, the waves not only drive away the cold, but also bring a sound like thunder.This situation can only be made in heaven!

"Wow!"
