my relatives are a bit much

Chapter 232

It took five days to hire a team of bodyguards to transport the silver taels, and everyone just returned to Guobei County. Traveling in ancient times was such a tricky journey, and it would take days and nights casually.

All the way.

Pan Haodong and his party arrived at the county government office. Before they could take a sip of water, they saw a young man in Tsing Yi burst into the government office and said arrogantly: "County Magistrate Pan, my master is here to invite you."

"Who is your master?"

Pan Haodong asked.

"My master is Guo Xiaotian, the head of the Guo clan, the most prominent local family. Tonight at Yunhe Tower, I will be waiting for the county magistrate."

After the boy in green clothes finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Ning Caichen put down his luggage, walked up to Pan Haodong, and said, "Cousin, since Guo Xiaotian is the biggest squire in the area, he will definitely not invite you to the banquet for no reason. Tonight may be a Hongmen banquet."

"It doesn't matter whether it's the Hongmen Banquet or the Blue Gate Banquet, sooner or later we have to face them anyway. It's better to come early than to come late, so as to save the unscrupulous squires who spend all their time guarding these common people."

Pan Haodong said with a relaxed face.

A strong dragon can't overwhelm a land snake. That's because the dragon is not strong enough. If it is really strong enough, no matter how powerful the land snake is, it will have to kneel.

He still doesn't believe that Guo Xiaotian can't be dealt with.

If this patriarch of a prominent family with the same name as Guo Daxia's father is really so powerful, Lanruo Temple outside Guobei County will not become a forbidden place in the hearts of the people.

"My husband is right. Soldiers come to cover up water and earth to cover up. Squires have prestige in the local area, and some people have power, but they are only mortals after all."

Yazi is very supportive of the man's approach, and likes her husband's attitude towards things. If she is seriously ill, she will have to take strong medicine, and she can't be weak because she is new.

The local squires are arrogant, but they are just local snakes.

At most, they bully honest people with their power.

She didn't want to bully her husband at all.

"Cousin, don't forget that my husband is a monk."

Long Jiu reminded.

The worried Ning Caichen smiled dumbly after hearing this.

He still couldn't turn his mind around.

The idea that people should not fight against officials or against rich people is deeply ingrained. Even if you become an official, you will have to adapt to it for a long time before you can get rid of your fear of this and that.

……

That night.

Before going to the Yunhe Tower for the banquet.

Pan Haodong held up a pair of red pants, found Ning Caichen who lived in the side room, and said, "Cousin, these are a pair of pants with magic power. Wearing them outside can increase your defense and strength. I'm worried that someone will come over after you leave." I kidnap you, my two wives, and you must not refuse."

"This……"

Ning Caichen looked confused.

It's okay to wear such red pants inside, but it's really shameful to wear them outside.

This is Pan Haodong's bad taste. He deliberately didn't tell his cousin that Superman's red underpants could actually be worn inside. He tried it and it was quite easy to use.

Give Ning Caichen Superman's red pants, let his cousin wear them when he encounters danger, passive defense +50, strength +25, agility +25, the cousin who has no power to restrain a chicken, can instantly become a martial artist master.

With just a few random punches, an old martial artist can be killed, and there will be a high level of security.

"Cousin, do what you need to do urgently, don't hesitate, just accept it!"

Pan Haodong forced the red underpants to his cousin, turned around and walked out the door.

Ning Caichen held the glowing red underpants with a very expressive expression. Looking at the back that gradually disappeared from his eyes, he couldn't help muttering: "Why don't you put it on and try it first, and return it to your cousin if it doesn't work?"

at the same time……

In Yunhe Tower, Guo Xiaotian, head of the Guo family, the most prominent family in Guobei County, walked vigorously up to the observatory on the top floor with a silver gun in his hand.

The observatory is an attic-like wing with ventilation on three sides. It is very cold in winter. The food will be cool after a while after it is placed on the table. It is already autumn.

The gentry and gentlemen who have already sat down need to drink a few sips of hot tea from time to time to warm up their bodies.

"Master Guo."

"Master Guo."

"..."

Everyone stood up to greet each other.

Guo Xiaotian walked to the main seat and said with a smile: "Sit down, everyone."

"You first you first."

"Why didn't Magistrate Pan come?"

When Guo Xiaotian sat down to speak, his face was obviously displeased. Guobei County is the territory of the Guo family, and the county magistrate has always been a puppet controlled by their Guo family.

The new county magistrate has been so disrespectful to himself before he has officially taken office. It seems that he should give him some color to show him, so that he can let the other party know who is in charge of this family in Guobei County.

"I don't know, maybe I'm afraid."

someone said.

Guo Xiaotian is hosting a banquet tonight. It is clearly a Hongmen banquet. If you are obedient, you will be appointed tomorrow.

No need to give money, they will all work hard.

Because these people are orphans picked up by the Guo family, feeding them is the greatest kindness...

"Maybe already on the way." Someone raised a different opinion.

"Our new county magistrate is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. He even dared to be late for the banquet hosted by Master Guo..."

"It seems that we didn't mention the specific time?"

"Does it matter?"

"unimportant."

It really doesn't matter whether you say it or not, the important thing is that Guo Xiaotian has arrived.

When the previous county magistrates ate with Guo Xiaotian, they always stayed at the restaurant an hour or half an hour earlier, waiting for Mr. Guo to drive them by.

No one has ever just put Master Guo on the waiting list.

Pan Haodong was the first, and possibly the last.

However, Pan Haodong didn't keep Guo Xiaotian waiting long, and rushed over from the county government office after explaining some things about Yazi and Long Jiu.

Go up to the observatory.

Pan Haodong said: "Who is Master Guo Xiaotian?"

"Master Guo is..."

A landlord surnamed Yang stood up, ready to solemnly introduce Guo Xiaotian.

As a result, Pan Haodong interrupted him before he finished speaking, "Are you Guo Xiaotian?"

"No, I'm Yang..." Landlord Yang shook his head.

"No, then why are you standing up?"

Pan Haodong glanced at Landlord Yang and said coldly: "I'm asking about Guo Xiaotian, not your surname Yang,"

"..."

Landlord Yang's neck was flushed red.

snort!
Guo Xiaotian snorted coldly: "I am Guo Xiaotian, did you not ask for advice?"

"Pan Haodong, the new magistrate of Guobei County."

Pan Haodong went to sit down opposite Guo Xiaotian, and said bluntly: "If you have any ideas, just tell me, I don't have time to ink with you."

"light and spacious!"

"Magistrate Pan, I just like a straightforward person like you who doesn't sloppily do things."

Guo Xiaotian clapped his hands and said: "In that case, let me tell you straight away. Every county magistrate who comes to our Guobei County to make money has to hand over [-]% of the tax to us. Seeing that you are so happy, you will hand it over in the first year. Seventy percent is enough, you can keep the remaining [-]%."

The tone of charity, the tone of arrogance.

This is, I really regard Guobei County as my home, and I can come here wherever I want.

Pan Haodong was amused.

I saw him smiling and saying: "Mr. Guo, can I ask you something?"

Guo Xiaotian said: "Excuse me."

Pan Haodong pointed to Landlord Yang and the others: "I want to know, how much of the [-]% of the taxes paid by the previous county magistrates was distributed to them?"

"Thirty percent."

Guo Xiaotian was outspoken.

The Guo family monopolizes half of the county's taxes, and it is indeed the most arrogant family in the area.

It's just a big cancer.

Must be removed!
