Next to him, Meng Yi holds an official seal with both hands, with his head held high and his chest held high, honoring him.

"Oh, the next official is Sun Dahu, the city guard of the north gate. Please refer to the magistrate."

Sun Dahu casually cupped his hands at Chen Daomin, and said see you, but there was no respect on his face.

"Hmph, why do you collect commercial tax here, but you still charge one tenth tax? What's the difference between this and Ming Qiang!"

Chen Daomin scolded loudly, causing the surrounding pedestrians and caravans to look sideways.

"Don't be afraid, everyone, I am Chen Daomin, the newly appointed magistrate of Lingnan.

This officer will make decisions for you, and there will never be such a city entry tax in the future!

You can enter the city unimpeded! "

Chen Daomin stroked his beard with one hand behind his back, and said loudly, as if making decisions for the people.

Everyone looked at Chen Daomin inexplicably, who is this person?

"Now I order you, you are not allowed to set up a card here to collect taxes in the future, and you have to return what you have already collected!"

Chen Daomin turned to Sun Dahu and ordered again.

"This is the rule set by His Royal Highness King An."

Sun Dahu glanced at Chen Daomindao.

"How can the vassal king meddle in local government affairs! This is a disorderly government, and I will abolish it naturally when I come here!"

Chen Daomin said.

"The officer is a sergeant, without the order of my lord's guard, I will not obey!"

Sun Dahu cupped his hands and said calmly.

"You! How can you take care of yourself? When I enter the city, I will definitely go to your Shangguan to ask for an explanation!"

Chen Daomin's face turned red, he didn't expect to be slapped in the face by a little goalkeeper before entering the city.

"Your Excellency, please help yourself."

After Sun Dahu finished speaking, he ignored him.

"Don't worry. When I enter the city, I will cancel this evil government as soon as possible, and return Lingnan Mansion to a bright future."

Chen Daomin bowed his hands to the people and merchants who were watching, with a righteous face.

However, the scene of everyone being grateful to him did not appear, and the crowd and merchants looked at Chen Daomin as if they were looking at a fool.

"Did this person come to Lingnan to make trouble?"

Some bold people whispered in the crowd.

Everyone was scared by Chen Daomin's identity and did not dare to speak out, the surroundings were silent, and Chen Daomin heard these words clearly.

"What?"

……

Chapter 52

Chen Daomin couldn't believe his ears.

I was obviously helping them, how could this group of people be so wolf-hearted, dare to say that about myself!

"Bold! My lord is helping you reduce taxes. Not only are you ungrateful to Dade, but you also humiliate my lord like this. Are you a bunch of white-eyed wolves!"

Meng Yi reprimanded loudly.

"It must be that they were deceived by the local officials. I don't blame them."

Chen Daomin pretended to be generous, stroked his beard and said.

"Let's not abolish the city tax!"

"Yes, don't bother your lord, we are all willing to pay the city entry tax!"

The onlookers spoke out one after another.

Ga?

Chen Daomin and his servants looked at the scene before them in disbelief.

"Aren't you scumbags? My adults help you reduce taxes, but you are still unwilling!"

Meng Yi looked at the people around him like a fool.

"You are the scumbag! We are willing to pay the tax, what does it matter to you!"

"That's right, you only need to pay the city entrance tax once and you can get through without any hindrance. You exempted us from it. Maybe you want us to pay the exorbitant taxes again!"

The people around saw that the situation was on their side, and if they dared to speak up, some people followed suit.

For a while, the people around were chattering, pointing and pointing at Chen Daomin and the other two, looking at their enemies.

Chen Daomin was overwhelmed by the scene in front of him. He didn't expect that he would be disgraced before he even entered the city, completely losing his dignity.

Chen Daomin said angrily: "It's unreasonable, I don't have the same knowledge as you gangsters, let's go!"

Quickly asked Meng Yi to drive the carriage, drove to the city, and fled on the road.

Looking at the back of the carriage leaving, Sun Dahu showed a look of disdain.

"It's time to go to Mr. Qi to ask for credit. Hehe, he still has a few bottles of spirits specially provided by the palace in his hand. He has to take them out no matter what."

……

"My lord, this troublemaker in Lingnan Mansion really doesn't know what to do, to insult your lord like this."

Meng Yi drove angrily at Chen Daomin.

"Hmph, after I take office, I must teach these ignorant people a lesson."

Chen Daomin also said angrily.

This is the first time he has been so embarrassed in these years.

"The people in Lingnan are a bunch of idiots. There are no people on both sides of this road. A row of carriages must squeeze in the middle and walk slowly. It's really stupid."

Meng Yi said sarcastically.

"It's all uneducated troublemakers. Go to the magistrate's yamen first, rest for a night, and meet King An tomorrow."

Chen Daomin said.

"Yes!"

"Hey! Hey! You stop."

Meng Yi pulled the reins and was stopped by an old man wearing a red armband.

"what happened?"

Chen Daomin's impatient voice came from inside the car.

"My lord, there is an old man who stopped the carriage."

"Hurry up and go to the magistrate's yamen after solving it, don't delay."

Chen Daomin learned to be smart this time, so he didn't show up immediately, and asked Meng Yi to deal with it first.

"What are you doing, you old man stopped in front of the carriage, you don't want to die!"

Meng Yi roared, feeling baffled by the person in front of him.

"Whoever lets you walk on the sidewalk, whether you have the quality or not, you will be fined ten cents!"

The old man pointed at Meng Yi and said.

Just now Meng Yi drove the carriage into the city, saw that there were carriages in the middle of the road, and saw that there were no cars on the roads on both sides, so he drove the carriage to the road on the right.

"Who allowed you to fine me at will! Is there any law in this Lingnan Mansion, dare to rob money in the street!"

Meng Yi shouted loudly, and gathered a group of onlookers.

Today he felt extremely unlucky, first he spent most of the day in the sun, and was ridiculed when he entered the city gate, and now he was stopped by someone inexplicably.

Could it be that this Lingnan Mansion is not compatible with him.

"Hey, did you see that? This is the red armband that the county magistrate personally put on me. The old man is the traffic coordinator. The little old man is responsible for maintaining order along the road."

The old man pointed to the red armband on his arm and said proudly.

"What traffic coordinator, don't get in the way!"

Meng Yi said impatiently.

"If you dare to resist law enforcement, the old man will not be polite."

The old man put his hands on his hips, as if he was about to lie down.

"Hey, old man, let me see how rude you are."

Meng Yi also lost his temper.

Ever since I came to Lingnan, things have not been going well. I think that when I was in the capital, as the steward of the censor, no one respected me, but now I am in Lingnan.

The old man took out a whistle from nowhere, and blew it with all his strength.

Accompanied by a sharp whistle, a group of strong men in red clothes ran from not far away.

There were ten people in total, and each of them had a wooden stick as thick as an arm hanging from their waists.

"What's the matter, Uncle Zhao?"

A strong man at the leader of the red team asked the old man with red armbands.

"Captain Chen, this man disobeyed the traffic rules, drove the carriage onto the sidewalk, resisted law enforcement, and refused to pay the fine."

The old man pointed at Meng Yi and said.

"Oh? This matter is handed over to our law enforcement team."

The man called Captain Chen turned his head to look at Meng Yi.

"Resist law enforcement, because your circumstances are relatively minor. According to our Lingnan Prefecture Public Security Management Law, you will be fined ten taels of silver, and you will be detained for ten days in labor reform."

He asked Meng Yi loudly.

"Come here, take them away!"

After saying that, someone stepped forward to take Meng Yi away.

"What are you doing! Lawlessness! My lord, save me!"

Meng Yi was held up by two members of the red-clothed law enforcement team on one left and one on the right. He shouted at Chen Daomin with a terrified expression.

"Bastards! What are you doing! Who gave you the right to do this!"

Chen Daomin lifted the curtain, stepped out of the carriage, and shouted at Captain Chen with an angry face.

He had been listening in the car for a long time just now, and he had been holding back his anger. Now that his housekeeper was about to be taken away and put in prison, he completely exploded.

What happened today was a great shame to him. Ever since he came to Lingnan, he seemed to be a complete joke.

It is simply unreasonable for him to be bullied like this in his own territory, the magistrate of Lingnan Prefecture.

"I am the newly appointed magistrate of Lingnan, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

Chen Daomin pointed at Captain Chen and the others, his fingers trembling with anger.

"We act in accordance with the Lingnan Public Security Management Law. Even if the prince breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Please don't use power to overwhelm others."

Captain Chen said calmly, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Okay, it's really against you. What kind of security management law, I am familiar with my law, why haven't I heard of such a security management law!"

Chen Daomin scolded angrily.

"This law was promulgated by His Royal Highness King An to manage the daily code of conduct of the people in Lingnan Prefecture. It is well known in Lingnan Prefecture."

Captain Chen said, when Li Su was mentioned, he was full of reverence and bowed his hands in the direction of the palace.

"King An, everything is King An, the vassal king meddles in local government affairs, does he want to rebel!"
