Chapter 07 Everyone Sweeps the Snow
Luo Xiaoye and Ye Xiaotian rode a horse and a donkey, and said while running, rushing into the county gate, as if Don Quixote and Sancho were waving their guns and rushing towards the windmill without hesitation.
After about half an hour, two more trainees who participated in the duel rushed into the city with swords, guns and sticks, which made the city guards frightened and thought that the mountain people had rebelled again.
Immediately afterwards, the people who were watching the fun also entered the city one after another. A strange scene between Ye Xiaotian and Miss Zhan in Shuixi also spread throughout the Huxian County through these big mouths. For a time, people of all ethnic groups helped the elderly and young, and happily went straight to the county government to watch the big show.
The city guards watched as the crowds of people who were not very good-looking rushed into the city, but nothing happened in the end. As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, three more people rushed to the distance. In the middle was a young Miao girl, who looked very handsome, but she had more beautiful silver jewelry on her head, neck and even her upper body. She was wearing a blue-black skirt that middle-aged and elderly women wore, which was a bit out of place.
Seeing that the Miao goddess was not good-looking, the two Miao men were even more vicious, he quickly pretended to ignore them and allowed them to enter the city.
This girl was naturally Zhan Ning'er. She asked for the skirt from the old woman who had the donkey robbed. The old woman also had the cunning of a peasant woman. She found that the red skirt was of excellent quality and was worth a few silver, so she immediately put it on.
After Zhan Ning'er went down the mountain, she saw the old woman asking to buy her skirt. How could the old woman not understand the origin of the red skirt just now? She received a lot of money, but took off her skirt on the spot, and never let the red skirt in the bag meet the real owner.
As soon as Zhan Ning'er left, the old woman must have put on the red skirt for the time being. It was just an old woman wearing a bright pomegranate skirt and asked her to support her to walk on the mountain road. The scenery was really...
At this time, on the hillside of Huang Daxian Ridge, Luo Daheng was walking leisurely. He didn't enter and took out a piece of osmanthus cake from his schoolbag. He didn't notice that there were two blue figures quietly creeping at him in the dark.
Luo Daheng stopped at the place where he rested for the first time on the way up the mountain. He stepped on the bluestone and looked into the distance and saw several mother-in-laws carrying dolls in the distance. His father-in-law was staggering towards the county town. Luo Daheng couldn't help but resentful: "You don't want to be chased by others, but I don't want to be chased by others. Oh, it's time to lose weight."
After the tycoon said that, the hippopotamus opened his mouth and drank another piece of osmanthus cake. He took out a water bag and sucked a few times. Then he sat down and hummed and stopped. The two men in blue were secretly crept at each other, laughing and crying.
The shorter man in blue rolled his eyes secretly and said to himself: "I think my second brother deliberately comforted me when he said that just now. How could I be the wise and foolish son?"

Ye Xiaotian and Luo Xiaoye fled to the county yamen gate, one dismounted and the other dismounted. When the yamen guarding the gate saw the inspector and Dian Shi arrived, they hurriedly ran up to take the reins and looked at Ye Xiaotian's dress strangely. After all, Dian Shi was so arrogant that he was carrying the roots of a tree with his backbone, which was very rare.
Ye Xiaotian and Luo Xiaoye entered the county government office and just turned into the Yimen Gate. County Magistrate Meng and Chief Wang came together again. When they saw Ye Xiaotian's situation, County Magistrate Meng was shocked and said, "Ai Dianshi! Who are you... to apologize to?"
Ye Xiaotian said in surprise: "What kind of sin do I take? I...oh!"
Ye Xiaotian suddenly noticed that he was still carrying the troubled root, and hurriedly threw it to the side, and said with a bitter face: "Two sirs, you really hurt me."
When County Magistrate Meng and Chief Wang saw his embarrassed look, they guessed that he suffered a great loss on the mountain. However, although Luo Xiaoye frowned, he did not look extremely frightened. He thought that the scholars did not make any deaths, and they felt relieved.
With the mood, the more they looked at Ye Xiaotian, the more they looked, the more they became more and more funny. The two of them held back their laughter and pretended to be serious. County Chief Meng said, "Didn't Lord Dianshi go to Huangdaxianling to stop the fight between the two divisions? Why... they came back like this?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Oh! This matter is a long story, but it is really hard to describe. Inspection Commissioner Luo, please let me say it."
Luo Xiaoye smiled bitterly and said in a brief manner that County Magistrate Meng and Chief Wang could not laugh immediately. County Magistrate Meng was stunned for a while and said, "You said... that woman is from the Zhan family in Shuixi?"
Luo Xiaoye said: "The Shuixi Zhan family is right, and the 'family people' is a bit inappropriate. In fact, that woman is the eldest lady of the Shuixi Zhan family. Kow! There are three tigers in Guizhou, one of the three tigers..."
County Magistrate Luo and Wang Zhuan said in unison: "Decepticon?"
Luo Xiaoye was stunned and said strangely: "Do you two adults recognize her?"
County Magistrate Luo and Wang Zhuan clapped their eyebrows at the same time and sighed in unison: "I don't recognize it! But there is only one of the three disasters, how could we not guess?"
County Magistrate Luo and Chief Wang looked at each other. County Magistrate Luo suddenly looked at each other and said to Chief Wang seriously: "The three-year major test is approaching, and this year's autumn grain must be collected by 90% no matter what. Otherwise, how to deal with the imperial examination. Chief Wang, you have to sort out the household registration book as soon as possible so that I can follow the map and collect taxes from household to household."
The Wang Zhuan nodded with a heavy face and said to the county magistrate Meng: "Well! The reason is that the minister naturally understands. The minister has ordered people to work day and night to clean up their household registration. The county magistrate, why don't we go and have a look here and don't miss the business."
The two turned to Ye Xiaotian at the same time, bowed their hands, and said, "Ai Dianshi, we suddenly remembered that there was another extremely important thing to do, so we said goodbye."
Ye Xiaotian had never seen such a shameless official before. Ye Xiaotian said in surprise: "Two sirs, the surname Zhan..."
While speaking, the county magistrate Meng and the chief clerk Wang had already walked out of the etiquette gate and waved to him, "Mr. County Master is in the second hall." Before he could finish his words, the two had turned around the screen wall and disappeared.
Ye Xiaotian said in a daze: "How can they be so shameless?"
Luo Xiaoye said: "How can you be an official in Huxian?"
Ye Xiaotian turned his head and looked at Luo Xiaoye. Luo Xiaoye said, "You don't have to look at me. I am a hereditary local official. I have to do it even if I can't do it."
While the two were talking, they saw the county magistrate Meng and the chief clerk of Wang turn over from behind the screen wall again. Ye Xiaotian was overjoyed and just thought their conscience had aroused, he hurriedly went up to him and bowed, "Class of Meng, the chief clerk of Wang..."
The county magistrate Meng and the chief clerk Wang were attentive, but they didn't hear him or see him. They only heard the county magistrate Meng say, "Although the court implemented the 'one-whip method', my Huxian still needs to adapt to local conditions. Local people usually barter the goods, so it is difficult for them to pay the money."
The Wang Zhuan Chuan said: "Yes, it's better to do this. We will summarize the taxes of a county and count the land. In this regard, we will follow the tax laws of the court. Next, we will allow the people to pay autumn grain and silk cloth directly, and transport it to Dacheng Dafu by our Hu County government for cash payment of silver."
County Magistrate Meng nodded and said, "It's so great. The grain chiefs of each township can inform them to start collecting grain. If there are tax resistance, Li Jia will cooperate with the punishment. If it really doesn't work, the county will send someone to urge..."
The Wang Zhuan said: "The county magistrate's method is very appropriate!"
The two of them walked over Ye Xiaotian and took him as air. Ye Xiaotian was wondering, and heard the noise coming from outside the yamen, and then he suddenly realized: "It turns out that these two ungrateful bastards can't leave the gate, so they hid back..."

In the second hall of the county government office, Hua Qingfeng sat down quietly, speechless for a while.
Ye Xiaotian said, "My master, you are talking."
Hua Qingfeng coughed twice, and his eyes moved: "Where is County Chief Meng and Chief Wang?"
Luo Xiaoye smiled bitterly and said, "Those two sirs have been hiding where to discuss the collection of autumn grain."
Hua Qingfeng said in surprise: "Is it time to harvest autumn grains? Oh, I understand..."
Hua Qingfeng took a deep breath and said to Ye Xiaotian: "This matter is related to the reputation of women. He said that big things are worthless and said that small things are not worth it. Whether it is big or small, it all depends on whether it is big or small. The Zhan family in Shuixi is even afraid of the government yamen. Zhan Ning'er is an important member of the Zhan family in Shuixi. How should you solve this problem?"
Ye Xiaotianqi said: "Sir, I'm here to find you. Isn't it just asking you how to solve it? Why did you ask me about it?"
Hua Qingfeng shook his head and said sadly: "There is nothing we can do in this county. The people here have been disobeying the kingly teachings for a long time and have never taken this county seriously. The three classes and six rooms in this county have always been a mess of sand, without any intimidation. The county has only ambitions..."
Ye Xiaotian said annoyedly: "Sir, don't let Lingyun go. You Huxian officials really disappoint me. Going to Huangdaxianling to stop the two divisions from fighting to avoid a death. You asked me, right? I went there and did it! Now, as your subordinate, I was in trouble, and County Chief Meng and Chief Wang started to pretend to be deaf and dumb. You Master Hua... You don't have to pretend to be deaf and dumb, because you are deaf and dumb at all!"
Hua Qingfeng's face turned red and white when he was scolded, but he had nothing to say.
Ye Xiaotian said: "If I really am the Dianshi of the County, then I didn't say it. I will take the blame myself! But I am not. I was forced by you to pretend to be Ai Dianshi. Now you are pushing you two, five, and six, and you are all mute? That's right! Then I'll sit here. If they turn back, they will break into the county government and cause any major incident. If they want to dismiss the office, they will be dismissed. At worst, I won't pretend to be this big clove of garlic. I didn't want to pretend, so I will take my old...the old sister to join relatives."
Ye Xiaotian said that, he wanted to take off his official hat. When he touched his hand, he realized that today was dressed as a Confucian scholar, and he only tied a young master's scarf. Ye Xiaotian sat on the chair angrily, crossed his legs, deliberately shaking his thighs, and looked like a hob.
The face of the magistrate Hua turned blue and red. After a while, he said, "Since that's the case, then... then the county will go out. What if... if that girl Zhan is willing to settle things for my sake, it would be better."
Hua Qingfeng said as he stood up and straightened his official hat, and walked out. Ye Xiaotian, who was shaking his thighs, suddenly stopped. He thought, slapped his thighs hard, and said, "No! No, right! Why am I afraid of her? I obviously have a way to treat her!"
Hua Qingfeng, who had just stepped out of the threshold, suddenly retracted his feet, his eyes shone brightly, rushed to Ye Xiaotian with one step, grabbed his hand, and said excitedly: "Aidianshi, do you have a way?"
