Qi Yuanxiu · Self-cultivation

Just as I was talking, I heard someone call "Eldest Young Master!!" Looking again, a young servant ran over panting, "Eldest Young Master, go over and have a look in front. Some barbarians came in front, saying that the tax is too high." To give them an explanation, they are making a fuss right now."

Tan Ningxin frowned, "I'll go and have a look," and then found Feng Wuji next to him, "Would you like to go and see Feng Daxia together?"

Feng Wuji shook his head, one thing more is worse than one thing less. ?

Tan Da ignored him and followed the boy to the front.

"what happened?"

"Master, today is the day when Jinyang's special envoy is leaving. As soon as Jinyang's special envoy came to the door, some barbarians rushed up, yelling about taxation. The master went to the county government office, so let the young master know about it."

"Well, don't tell dad and them yet," said Tan Dao, Jinyang's special envoy who came to say goodbye today, and was discussing matters with Tan Gong in the study.

When we got to the main hall, we saw a few prairie people dressed as barbarians aggressively there. When they saw Tan Da, the barbarians recognized him. The leading barbarian businessman bowed respectfully to Tan Da, "Master Tan."

Tan Ningxin was also polite, and then went straight to the topic, "What is the boss Zhuoligetu doing here today?"?

Zhuo Ligetu is a man he knew. He has the simplicity of a herdsman on his red and black face. "The tax has been raised, and the life of us grassland people will not be able to survive."

?Although the few prairie people next to Zhuoligetu didn't speak, they stared straight at Tan Da and asked for an explanation.

"The tax increase is due to the characteristics of the commodity, and those who do business should understand this truth."

"Naturally, we won't come here to complain about the normal taxation. The price increase at the end of the year should also be expected, but due to the effect of taxation, it usually takes two wolf skins to buy something that can be bought with one wolf skin!" Zorig Tu looked uncomfortable, "The things we brought back to the grassland are not enough for the tribe to use this winter."

"I'm just a school inspector, I'm afraid I'm powerless." Tan Ningxin looked helpless.

Zhuo Ligetu said: "Master Tan is just joking, Mr. Tan, Minister of Xinzhou, is the father of your lord. Which of these big and small matters in Xinzhou has not been attended by you, my lord?"

Tan Ningxin has mixed feelings about these prairie people. On the one hand, Xinzhou is a recognized buffer zone, and all parties have no military force to intervene. Prairie people and Central Plains people trade here. There will be some savages sneaking around in the city, leaving Yin's mansion without soldiers, so naturally they can't control them. They can only be reprimanded verbally and suppressed by policy. On the other hand, those prairie people also have some serious businessmen, and some keep their own laws. , moved the whole family to Xinzhou, married a wife and had children here, took off the leather jacket and waistcoat, and put on a mandarin jacket and long gown. If it weren’t for the curly hair on the head that reminded the grassland origin, he would be like a Xinzhou native. The tax hike naturally affected those people.

Tan Ningxin admitted that she didn't like these prairie people, and wanted to send them away with a few words, but she didn't expect a kid to emerge from under the table, Qi Yuanzhao!

"What are you doing here!" Tan Ningxin raised her eyes and stared at Qi Yuanzhao.

Qi Yuanzhao's face was still unwashed, and the ink stains on his face and the dust on the ground were even more embarrassing. Qi Yuanzhao looked at those prairie people, "I made a fortune before, there will be a big event here today, and it says that someone will see blood, Just now I performed the Dharma and the disaster was eliminated, so I came to check the authenticity."

"Nonsense!" Tan Ningxin scolded the kid angrily. ?

Zhuo Ligetu is a native of Xinzhou, but the group of businessmen around him is not. A prairie man immediately caught Qi Yuanzhao, and the third son of Ling Yin is also a little famous in Xinzhou. The wise and powerful Mr. Tan has three sons , the eldest son and the second son are both once-in-a-century talents, but this youngest son is an idiot with no knowledge and skills.

"Let him go!" Tan Ningxin was furious.

Zhuo Ligetu said: "Your Excellency, please calm down, my younger brother sees that he has some familiarity with our grassland, so he wants to invite the third son to be our guest."

Suddenly, a flash of light and flint shot into the ground, only a foot away from the prairie man.

?Su Hong walked over with his head held high, and looked at the prairie man contemptuously, "No one is allowed to leave today!"

Tan Ningxin's temples were throbbing with pain.

"You are the special envoy from Jinyang, right?" Zhuo Ligetu said, "It's not your turn to take care of our Xinzhou affairs."

Our Xinzhou?Su Hong was funny and annoyed, staring at the curly hair on the barbarian's head, "It's not your turn to intervene in the affairs of our Central Plains people." Su Hong pulled up his buttocks from the ground, facing the group of prairie people, "It has long been rumored that there are barbarians in Xinzhou secretly disrupting people's livelihood. Xinzhou has no soldiers. There are no soldiers in Xinzhou, but Jinyang has them."

It seemed that Su Hong did not intend to let these people go.

Tan Ningxin scolded Niang Xipi in her heart, this reckless man might do something bad.

?At this critical moment, a voice floated in, "Who is making noise here?"

The man wore a Yasha ghost mask on his face. He was nine feet tall and wore a black dress. His face was covered by the mask, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Qi Yuanzhao saw this person coming, and said pleasantly, "Master!"

Tan Ningxuan gave him a hard look, and said to the masked man, "Why is Master Feng here?"

"I met Xiaosi, and the boy told me that there was some confusion ahead, so I turned around and knocked."

Su Hong stared at this person suspiciously, and a strange thought floated in his mind, he seemed to have seen this person somewhere.

"This is our nursing home, Mr. Feng Wuji," Tan Ningxin hurriedly introduced, "Mr. Feng, you came just in time, and there is a little trouble here."

Yasha ghost ignored others, looked at Su Hong, and said, "What is the meaning of Master Su Hong? Why did you point your gun at the people of Xinzhou?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Xinzhou is the default buffer zone for all parties. Since you come to Xinzhou, you are from Xinzhou. You, a man from Jinyang, pointing a gun at the people of Xinzhou is really overstepping," Feng Wuji walked around slowly. All of this, "If you really hurt someone today, it will be bad for Jinyang's reputation if it spreads." Feng Wuji looked at Zhuo Ligetu, "My third son is mischievous, did he offend the bosses? It stands to reason that the bosses are aggrieved by holding the third young master in such a way, and if the third young master has any faults, he should hand them over to Ling Yin's mansion to discipline him."

"No!" Qi Yuanzhao yelled inappropriately, "They used me to threaten my father to revise taxes!" "

Yasha Ghost raised his left hand, and in a blink of an eye, he pinched Zhuoligetu's neck, "Let go of the third son, and speak well if you have something to say."

Everyone was sweating coldly, the masked man's profound kung fu might be able to wipe them all out.

It's so familiar! Su Hong couldn't help being shocked. He suddenly thought of Bofengting who was killed by himself a few days ago, but this person was obviously left-handed, and martial arts practitioners used routines, so this person turned out to be left-handed.

Zhuo Ligetu smiled and said, "I've changed my mind, and the layout of Lingyin's residence is nothing more than this."

"No," Feng Wuji chuckled, "It's two different things for your dog to be bullied by his neighbors and being taught a lesson by his master." Feng Wuji ignored the red anger of those bosses, "What you want is to reduce taxes, businessman We must compare pennies and bahts, earning more and earning less is all about earning. Now everyone knows that the grasslands are not peaceful. Xinzhou is a child without parents, so it will inevitably be implicated. The increase in taxes is originally a means of controlling the entry and exit of people in the grasslands of Xinzhou. , all the bosses are making less money now, if any tribe enters Xinzhou one day, I am afraid that the family will be ruined and the family will be destroyed. It is better for you, you can go back to the grassland after snatching it up, the people of Xinzhou!"

Tan Ningxin was secretly taken aback, this person's abilities were beyond his imagination.

Su Hong put away his gun, turned his head and left. That martial artist is a difficult character. It was the prince's intention to come here this time. The prince didn't let him care so much, "Farewell!"

Qi Yuan looked at the back of the strange man, and at Master Feng's wood-carved yaksha face, and finally swallowed some words. ?

The barbarian merchant looked unhappy.

"The taxes in Xinzhou can be restored to the original state," Tan Ningxin said, "but all the bosses agree with all the bosses in Xinzhou to set up a guard team in Xinzhou. The soldiers in Xinzhou are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they cannot To ensure everyone's safety, the Xinzhou guard team is composed of Xinzhou people, an unofficial organization, affiliated to the Xinzhou Chamber of Commerce, do you agree?"

The merchants began to discuss in grassland dialect.

Tan Ningxin continued: "The guard team is responsible for the safety of the people in the city. Some prairie people in the city are robbing and stealing. I just turn a blind eye and close my eyes. From now on, everyone will keep their own place! Xinzhou is a buffer zone, and Sanhu is everywhere. It’s not a place where people from the Central Plains are in name, but everyone is from Xinzhou, so we should take responsibility for this place!”

?Zhuoli Tuge let go of Qi Yuanzhao in his hand, knelt down together with several businessmen, and kept chanting something. Tan Ningxin felt relieved. He could understand grassland dialect. These businessmen prayed to God, Pray for God's blessing.

Qi Yuanzhao slipped away immediately, the hexagram was right, luckily he cast a spell just now, avoiding the bloody disaster, he had to go back to thank the real people later, Qi Yuanzhao crossed a few yards, but suddenly the soles of his feet were empty, Qi Yuanzhao He was picked up by someone else again, and that person's eyes looked at him through the Yaksha face mask.

"Why are you here again?"

"I'm your master, I don't care who cares about you?" Feng Wuji looked at this brat and started to have a headache. He didn't want to take care of so many things. Before this brat had made an agreement with him, but today he changed. Having made up his mind, Feng Wuji let go, and Qi Yuanzhao fell to the ground.

? Qi Yuanzhao rubbed his buttocks, "Didn't you just stay with big brother? Why did you run here all of a sudden?"

Feng Wuji rolled his eyes, "This is called Kung Fu," and then said, "Want to learn?"

Qi Yuanzhao shook his head, "With you here, why should I learn those things?"?

Feng Wuji was choked to death by this kid's words, but fortunately he had a mask, otherwise Feng Wuji didn't know where to put his face.

"Can you take this thing?" Qi Yuanzhao tapped on the Yaksha ghost mask, "This Yaksha is a person who eats human souls on Huangquan Road, which is unlucky."

It's none of your business, Feng Wuji rolled his eyes to the sky, "Hurry up and wash your face, and take off your ragged robe, and put on a bunt, do you hear me!"

Qi Yuanzhao shook his head.

Feng Wuji pinned down the little bastard like an eagle catching a chick, if the brat is disobedient, then I will take care of it!

After a while, the Third Young Master's ghostly cries and wolf howls came from the sky above the Lingyin Mansion, and everyone passing by shuddered.
