"Hmph! I'm going to decide to post today!"

"Come here! Help! Molest!..."

Chapter 5 and Seven

Yu Hanshan was patrolling the street bit by bit in a carriage, and suddenly found that a huge change had taken place unknowingly on the street. Almost all of his shops were deserted, but the newly opened shops were springing up like mushrooms after rain. Both sides of the avenue are cut off, and people flow in and out, and business is booming.He also saw that many young masters and young ladies of small families were excitedly leaving this house and entering that house, and they were extremely busy.

"Old Jin, how is our business doing recently? Is it still not improving?" Yu Hanshan asked dully, there was also his steward in the carriage accompanying her on the tour.

"My lord, it's almost all at a loss. Now there are so many shops here all of a sudden, all of them are from Nanzi Ruiguo, all of them are of extraordinary strength, and some are from Princess Island or Xijue. It’s a new thing that you don’t usually see! Especially recently, the shredded tobacco and smoking sets have become the hottest items in Huiwen County. Look, everyone has a cigarette stick! Alas, I heard that these are the most popular items in Huiwen County. He came here in honor of the King of England!" said Lao Jin, who was in charge, with a sigh.

"The Liu family, the Hu family, the Lu family and other small families are not willing to pay on credit now?" Yu Hanshan asked with a sullen face.

"That's right, they said that money is tight now, they don't want to pay on credit any more, and they have to pay at least [-]% in cash to buy goods! And... I heard..." Lao Jin hesitated to speak.

"Just say it, you're not an outsider!" Yu Hanshan urged dissatisfied.

"I heard that some of these families have quietly gone to Tao Zhiqian's place, handed over all the excess land, and returned..." Lao Jin still hesitatingly said.

"Hmph! You also said that this was ordered by my Yu family, didn't you? Huh, I know the nature of these people when everyone pushes the wall down! It's hard to be a master!" Yu Hanshan snorted, and said what Lao Jin said directly Speak up.

"Not only that, those slaves who were released back not only regained their status as civilians, but also received compensation from these families, and the government also exempted them from tax for one year. So these poor guys are now buying this on the street as if it were a festival. Buy that! People in the government said that this is called 'invigorating the economy', and this old slave doesn't understand! But, in this way, the slaves in our village will start to move around, and I'm afraid they won't be able to hold back!" Jin said worriedly.

"Hey! This king of England is amazing. This is killing people with soft knives. If we don't move a single soldier, we are already in trouble!" Yu Hanshan said a little frustrated.

Depressed, Yu Hanshan also lit a pot of cigarettes, this thing is really good, especially suitable for a couple of puffs when bored, the three elders of the Yu family are all addicted to smoking now, there is no way, it is annoying!Especially Yu Hansong, who can't do anything lying on the bed, he can only smoke to relieve boredom!

When I walked to the newly started chain store, I bought tofu soup and fried stinky tofu here. Yu Hanshan also got out of the carriage and ordered [-] tofu soup and a plate of fried stinky tofu, but everyone was queuing. As long as he sits down, he can enjoy it. It seems that the owner of this chain store is still a little jealous of Yu Hanshan!

But Yu Hanshan didn't feel comfortable sitting there, those people who lined up looked at him coldly, especially those civilians who looked at the saint in front of them with hostility.

I have to say that Zhu Xiaobao's strategy is very successful. Not only are there high-end products, but also products that benefit the public. This kind of tofu soup is not only beautiful, but also the price is not expensive, and ordinary people can enjoy it and afford it.

The key is that now Huiwen County can still buy tofu products, which has greatly improved their lives, and can produce many delicious and cheap dishes!So the little families are all queuing up to get a place in the chain.And the common people are very supportive of the King of England, so it's almost time for Xiaobao to confess!

But Yu Hanshan couldn't finish enjoying such a little entertainment. At this time, a family member hurriedly came and whispered a few words in his ear, which immediately made Yu Hanshan unable to sit still in shock, and hurriedly got up and went out. He got into the carriage and rushed towards the third son Yu Hanbai's Zhuangzi!

It turned out that Yu Zhongping voluntarily pleaded guilty, and now Tao Zhiqian is leading someone to ransack the house!Didn't Yu Zhongping live in Yu Hanbai's village, so the two sides had a conflict.

When Yu Hanshan arrived, Tao Zhiqian was shaking his head and talking to Yu Hanbai: "Hey! Master Yu San, take care, this Zhuangzi belongs to you, and this Xikuayuan belongs to Yu Zhongping. If there is anything in it, it belongs to you." It turned out to be there, you can point it out to me, we will definitely not take it, I just stole Yu Zhongping's family property, yes, and his family, and brought them all to the Sheriff's Mansion!"

"Tao Zhiqian, don't bully me too much! Don't think that I don't know what you did to your second brother, Yu Hansong, you've eaten away his property!" Yu Hanbai said angrily and annoyed. Followed by a large number of courtyard guards, all armed with weapons, ready to move.

"Presumptuous! Yu Hanbai, the county guard is acting according to the law, do you still dare to openly resist the law? Yu Hansong's property has been eaten away, so why hasn't anyone come to sue? Moreover, the recorded property under Yu Hansong's name is only [-] mu , can you tell me what's going on?" Tao Zhiqian immediately replied with a sullen face.

"You...I..." Yu Hanbai was originally not good at arguing, and now he is even more at a loss for words.love 999

"Third brother! Come back! Let them copy it!" Yu Hanshan had already arrived at this time, and immediately called Yu Hanbai back. The list is densely packed and written a lot!

Even though Zhuangzi belongs to Yu Hanbai, there are quite a lot of family property in it, which Yu Zhongping has amassed over the years. There are many rare treasures, such as jade and antiques. Something priceless!

Nine carriages were loaded one after another, not including the clothes, bedding and other daily necessities of those family members, plus these and hundreds of family members, another dozen carriages were loaded!

Before leaving, Tao Zhiqian pretended to bow his hands to the two masters Yu: "I will take my leave now, and I have a word for you two. It is better to ruin your family than to kill your whole family! Yu Zhongping is very smart, so he took the initiative Plead guilty! The King of England, Chitose, is busy with other things right now, so he can't take care of some small things, but when Chitose is done, hehe, many things should be settled, so time is running out!"

What he said made the faces of the two masters Yu sink like water, and they didn't even pay Tao Zhiqian a salute!Wait until Tao Zhiqian's men and horses return with a full load.Only then did Yu Hanbai say indignantly: "I didn't expect this kid Yu Zhongping to confess his guilt voluntarily. Back then, I should have listened to my brother and killed him earlier!"

"Hey! Maybe not killing him is the best result, otherwise the consequences will be more serious!" Yu Hanshan seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, shaking his head and said in a dejected manner.

"Brother, are you really just ignoring it like this? Tao Zhiqian was clamoring just now, and he will open a processing workshop on that land in Xitang in a few days, and that is my property!" Yu Hanbai shouted angrily.

"Your land? Is it registered? Have you paid taxes? Tao Zhiqian is waiting for you to jump out! You didn't see that even if the second child has been eaten away so much, he can only swallow his anger. Now he smokes and drinks every day, don't There is no other way!" Yu Hanshan looked at the third child silently, then lit another pot of cigarettes, and staggered back to his carriage, his back suddenly became much older, and he was no longer the imposing Yu The old man!

……

On the way back, Tao Zhiqian said with a little emotion: "Unexpectedly, Yu Zhongping was more greedy than I was then, and I don't even have such a family fortune! Thinking about how such a large family fortune will be gone all at once, I really admire myself!"

"Huh, don't you say that you saved this dog's life and became the sheriff again, don't be dissatisfied! I warn you, don't use your brains with these properties!" Yu Li warned seriously road.

"Yes, yes, I don't need to use these brains. It is enough for you to pay me every time. Let's forget it. This has been done more than a dozen times. Each time I get a half discount, it should be about 2000 Two silver coins, right?" Tao Zhiqian leaned in front of Yu Li and said in a low voice, with an extremely obscene smile!

"Get out! You're taking advantage and want to be good? You have an extra bodyguard and a woman by your side, what else do you want?" Yu Li suddenly whispered angrily. Now the relationship between the two has become very ambiguous. Tao Zhiqian is not afraid of Yu Li anymore, isn't this already done!

But when the two of them passed by the street, Tao Zhiqian suddenly screamed, because he saw Zhu Xiaobao was asking the price of a painting, and in the end he really bought it, even at a cost of 100 taels of silver, Tao Zhiqian Immediately felt dizzy, that was his masterpiece!

"Chitose, Tao Zhiqian pays respects to Chitose! What are you buying this painting for? Why don't you just draw one for you if you need it?" Tao Zhiqian hurriedly ran to Zhu Xiaobao, grinning.

"What are you doing? It's just in time! How dare you sell this broken painting for 100 taels? Is it your painting or your name as the sheriff?" Zhu Xiaobao was furious, and Tao Zhiqian came here just in time. Xiao Bao rolled up the words in his hand and slapped Tao Zhiqian on the head repeatedly.

"Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Tao Zhiqian huddled there in a daze, not daring to move, allowing Zhu Xiaobao to slap him in the face in the street!The ordinary people watching were stunned, and only then did they realize that this young man in casual clothes was actually the King of England!And Tao Junshou, who is usually high-spirited, is now shrinking his neck and leaning against him!

"I know my mistake! But I didn't let this slave sell it so expensive!" Tao Zhiqian said with a sad face.

"Don't hit him! What he said is true, his paintings are only sold for five taels of silver!" Yu Li hurried up at this time, stopped Zhu Xiaobao, and carefully helped Tao Zhiqian straighten his clothes, Even with a bit of heartache.

"Huh? What the hell is this?"

Chapter 5 Conflict Escalation

Zhu Xiaobao is also here now, and seeing Yu Li's expression, he knew that the two had gotten together.Besides, female warriors are inherently bold and unrestrained, without any scruples.It's just that I didn't expect Tao Zhiqian to be cheaper. This guy is already in his 40s, and Yu Li is only in her thirties.

So Tao Zhiqian didn't look at the frowning look on his face, but he knew it in his heart: You have to control Yu Li to call her second sister, anyway, we can be regarded as half-brothers-in-law!So just put on a show and don't do anything to yourself!

But Tao Zhiqian was really wronged in this matter, the boy took the painting and sold it, originally it was five taels of silver.But now Tao Zhiqian is the hottest figure in Huiwen County, and he is also the governor of the county, so there will be people vying for it soon!If there is a profit, there will be a price increase, so this painting has climbed all the way to 100 taels of silver!The sheriff's painting is hung in the hall, isn't this a good deterrent!

"Huh! You are still good at this, and you can't even think of this? You immediately take back all the original paintings! Well, from today, your salary will be restored! If you don't mind selling it on the street, you'll embarrass me!" Only then did Zhu Xiaobao say angrily.

"Thank you, Chitose! I heard it too. Whoever bought my paintings in the past sent them back to me, and I paid twice the original price to get them back!" Tao Zhiqian immediately regained his pomp and rage, shouting at everyone.

"Aren't you clamoring to come back now?" Zhu Xiaobao ignored Tao Zhiqian and asked Yu Li.

"Well, there's no war now, so why am I in a hurry to come back?" Yu Li blushed, and said with a forced reason.

"Okay, okay, then you can stay at the Sheriff's Mansion with peace of mind! Hehe, male and female partners are not tired from working together!" Zhu Xiaobao said to the two of them in a slightly wretched way at this time.

"Thank you, Chitose, for your enlightenment!" Tao Zhiqian thanked him loudly, unexpectedly.

"Let me teach you a fart!" Zhu Xiaobao rolled his eyes at him, turned and left with his hands behind his back, he was also patrolling the street!

"Tsk tsk, a thousand years old is a thousand years old. It can be summed up in one sentence. The male and female partners are not tired of working together. How well said, vulgar is elegant! Tao is really admired!" Tao Zhiqian looked at Zhu Xiaobao's back , sighed sincerely.

"Hey! It's time to go. What are you looking at? Didn't Xiaobao say that the male and female partners are not tired from working together!" Yu Li urged impatiently from the side.

"Yeah, what's the matter? That's right!"

"It's time to go back to work, don't be lazy all day long!"

"Ah? Chitose, there is something wrong with what you said, a male and female partner, it is still very tiring to work!"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"

……

Zhu Xiaobao's family looked over, and he was still very excited. He didn't expect that it had already started to bear fruit in less than three months!The most important thing is that the shops of the three elders of the Yu family have also begun to be transferred and closed.This shows that the three elders of the Yu family have already started to shrink back!

Looking at the newly opened shops, he knows many of the managers, and it can be seen that Murong Feng sent the most capable managers to Huiwen County under the instigation of Murong Feng.In fact, Zhu Xiaobao also knew that Murong Feng still made a lot of efforts behind the scenes, although he didn't care about it on the surface, in fact he was always doing it secretly!

Back at Prince Ying's Mansion, he didn't expect to see Murong Feng right away, which made Zhu Xiaobao overjoyed.After all, the two haven't seen each other for more than two months!Murong Feng saw that Zhu Xiaobao was also a little dull, but he didn't expect that Zhu Xiaobao had grown a little taller in just two months, the key is that Zhu Xiaobao's aura was more vigorous than before!

But after that, Murong Feng was in a panic, Zhu Xiaobao actually gave her a bear hug, and said brazenly: "My military advisers are here, I really have a good understanding, come, give her a hug!"

"I hate...there are so many people, what are you doing?" Murong Feng blushed immediately, and complained in a low voice.

"I'm very pure. I just want to check for you. Have you gained a little weight and matured?" Zhu Xiaobao said innocently.

"You...you are still the same, Mrs. Wangfei, you should take care of it, or I'll go back first." Murong Feng really couldn't let it go, he could only ask Zhu Rong for help!

"Okay, it's not that you don't know Xiaobao's personality, so stop making trouble, I've already prepared dinner, you can all sit with me!"

In fact, Zhu Xiaobao didn't have any unreasonable thoughts about Murong Feng, but there were still many doubts about Murong Feng.One is that the origin of her and Jumei seems a bit unusual, and the other is that she also communicated with the Great Venerable Wuwei.This made Zhu Xiaobao and Zhu Rong pay close attention to Murong Feng.But one thing is for sure, Murong Feng is going all out to rectify Beizirui Country now!

"Well, congratulations, Chitose! I didn't expect your method to be very effective, and you don't need to use a single soldier! I didn't even think of that!" Murong Feng first congratulated Zhu Xiaobao. She was indeed a bit unexpected, Zhu Xiaobao Baohui integrated Huiwen County in this way.Must read house

"Hehe, it's better for you to cooperate! And Huiwen County is also a special case, other counties can't go so smoothly!" Zhu Xiaobao said with a smile.

"Should we close the net next? I think if we wait any longer, Yu Hanshan will lose his mind instead!" Murong Feng looked at Zhu Xiaobao and asked, this time she came to reinforce Zhu Xiaobao and brought three Thousand female warriors!

"Yeah, almost, Yu Zhongping has been punished, and Yu's second son is also seriously injured. Next, I'm going to start from Yu Hanbai, the third son!" Zhu Xiaobao nodded, and had to admit that Murong Feng judged It was extremely accurate, even three thousand female warriors were brought, not to start a war, but to frighten the Yu family!

……

Sure enough, just as Tao Zhiqian said, only three days have passed.Tao Zhiqian led people to start construction on the Xitang plot, and really wanted to build a processing workshop!He also drove away all the domestic slaves who were in charge of the field, and Yu Han immediately brought people to argue in a fit of anger.

But before Yu Hanbai arrived at the scene, an amazing news came back. The quarry had been sealed off by the King of England with soldiers and horses, and all the hard labor inside had been taken away. And the foreman was all arrested!

"Okay! I have finally attacked my Yu family, and I will fight them to the death today!" Yu Hanbai, as a military master, has a fiery temper, but now he has lost his mind!Without discussing with the boss, he rushed out with two thousand family members.

Tao Zhiqian is actively organizing manpower, enclosing the land for excavation, and he is very busy. A large-scale shredded tobacco processing workshop is going to be built here.Tao Zhiqian is quite active, once this thing cannot be produced, it will be huge profits!

Now Tao Zhiqian is also in love with this fashionable thing like smoking that has just become popular!Moreover, Yu Li bought him a sterling silver tobacco rod, and Qi Xiang embroidered a purse for him. Tao Zhiqian is really not tired at all from working now!

"Tao Zhiqian, you villain, today I will depose you!" Yu Hanbai rushed over immediately.Tao Zhiqian only had five hundred guards here, but Yu Li didn't care. She had already made a double-handed attack, ready to meet the enemy!

At this moment, from the direction of the quarry in the south, a brigade of female warriors drove over. There were as many as four or five thousand, with extraordinary momentum and banners flying.These female warriors are tall and powerful, with fierce murderous aura!The leaders are none other than King Zhu Xiaobao and Princess Ying!

When Tao Zhiqian saw Zhu Xiaobao's team, he immediately brought his men closer to him, while Zhu Xiaobao faced Yu Hanbai, stopped his horse, and looked at Yu Hanbai calmly!Regardless of Yu Hanbai's martial arts cultivation, but under Zhu Xiaobao's gaze, he was still a little nervous and guilty, he was considering whether to get off his horse and salute!

"Yu Hanbai, this is the evidence of your plundering, embezzling land, and forcing people into slavery over the years. You still don't get off your horse and plead guilty? Not to mention, the field under your feet has killed more than 20 people. Nearly 200 people were degraded by you as slaves, and even those who were old and weak were sent to the quarry by you, and now less than half of them are still alive!" Tao Zhiqian shouted loudly holding a certificate.

"Nonsense! These are all run by the government. We don't know. We have a contract with the government's seal on it! If you want to incriminate yourself, go to Yu Zhongping. Now you leave my territory!" Yu Hanbai was furious cried out, it was too late to think about it, in fact, these were all confirmed by Yu Zhongping, otherwise how could Tao Zhiqian be so sure!

"Bold, Yu Hanbai, do you want to rebel? King Ying Qiansui this time, why don't you get off your horse and plead guilty?" Tao Zhiqian also shouted angrily.With a wave of his hand, he signaled the guards around him to step forward and take Yu Hanbai down!

"En!" Zhu Xiaobao waved his hand, and the guards all stopped, all looking at King Ying Qiantui.

Zhu Xiaobao urged the mount under his crotch, walked slowly to Yu Hanbai, and looked at Yu Hanbai calmly.

Although Yu Hanbai was taller than Zhu Xiaobao, he did feel a huge coercion, which made him a little scared!

"Put down your weapon and kneel!" Zhu Xiaobao said calmly on the horse.

"You...you...you acted unfairly, targeting my Yu family, forgive me for being rude!" Yu Hanbai shouted in a panic, he could no longer bear this coercion!

"Kneel down!" Zhu Xiaobao shouted in a low voice!It's not loud, but it's mind-boggling!

"I...I will fight with you!" Yu Hanbai finally went mad, and rushed towards Zhu Xiaobao with the double-edged halberd in his hand!

At this time, the two teams who came from a distance were all stunned. Unexpectedly, Yu Hanbai went crazy and dared to attack the King of England, Chitose!

Of the two teams, Yu Hanshan was in the first team, and Yu Zhongping was beside him. It turned out that Yu Zhongping brought Tao Zhiqian's letter to persuade Yu Hanshan to confess his guilt.In the other team, Murong Feng led Qi Xiang and the guards and directly arrested his second grandfather Yu Hansong. Yu Hansong was thrown on a carriage without any foreshadowing. When he saw Yu Hanbai's actions, he was also stunned, this is a great crime to destroy the Nine Clans!

Yu Li, who was behind Zhu Xiaobao, had already rushed out, but before she could rush to Zhu Xiaobao's front, she was stunned by the strong energy from Zhu Xiaobao's body!

Seeing that Zhu Xiaobao's expression was calm, without any sign of making a move, but the body's body actually multiplied suddenly, and behind Zhu Xiaobao, a lifelike white tiger appeared, and this white tiger roared at Yu Hanbai...

Chapter 5 Nine

Yu Hanbo was stunned for a moment, he didn't dare to stab the double-edged halberd in his hand, and the war horse under his crotch was frightened by the king of beasts in front of him. He made a long hiss and stood up. , abruptly stopped the momentum.

And Zhu Xiaobao still sat on the horse and stood still, although Zhu Xiaobao's white tiger figure was only two people tall, but the majesty of the beast had already made the war horse tremble with fear and dare not move!The white tiger slapped the horse and fell to the ground with a single tiger paw, and Yu Hanbai who was on the horse also fell to the ground.

In fact, the absolute value of Yu Hanbai's cultivation could prevent him from falling to the ground, but he was already stunned, and sat up from the ground, just kneeling and staring blankly at Zhu Xiaobao and the white tiger figure behind him!

"Is it really a divine beast? More solid than the late emperor's? Are you really the descendant of a divine beast?" Yu Hanbai muttered in his mouth.When he and his two elder brothers were young, they had the honor to see the White Tiger Dharma performed by the former emperor Yu Wanqiang once, when Yu Wenchang was still the emperor's teacher.It was that time that Yu Hanbai changed his original intention and switched to martial arts, and only then did he become the Wu Zun he is today!

At this time, Yu Hanshan also got off the horse, ran to Yu Hanbai's side, knelt down and kowtowed: "The criminal Yu Hanshan and all his disciples are willing to confess their crimes, and I ask the King of England, Qiantui, to show mercy!"

Originally, Yu Hanshan wanted to make the final struggle, but now that he has seen the white tiger amulet, he has completely given up. This is a white tiger amulet that is more solid and domineering than the previous emperor, and he can vaguely see it This white tiger has a tiger pattern with the word 'king' on its forehead!

Even Yu Hanshan, who was lying on the frame, climbed off the frame, and frightenedly confessed!Yu Hanbai came back to his senses at this time, knelt down with Yu Hanshan and began to kowtow again and again, he was the most nervous in his heart, he was thinking about fighting with each other just now.That is the great crime of exterminating the Nine Clans!

At this time, all the soldiers present and the surrounding civilians also surrendered with joy, knelt down together, and kowtowed in unison: "The King of England is mighty, and the King of England is a thousand years old!"

"Get up! It's self-help if you confess your crimes and subdue the law. Presumably Yu Zhongping has already explained it clearly to you, and you have read all of Tao Zhiqian's letters?" Zhu Xiaobao's heart was warm, but on the surface he still had a very calm expression.

"Yes! This old man intended to sit behind closed doors in front of the holy statue of his ancestors, to think about his past mistakes, and to correct his past mistakes. Thank you King Ying Qiantui for not killing you!" For the sake of ancestor Yu Wenchang, he didn't want to kill them all, so Yu Hanshan was quite grateful for this softer punishment method!At the same time, the reputation of the ancestors was preserved!

"Okay! You all follow Tao Zhiqian to the prefect's mansion now, and wait for your release! Tao Zhiqian, you should immediately arrange manpower to bring back all the demoted slaves and privately produced slaves in the manor of the three brothers of the Yu family, and arrange them properly. ! All the land that was plundered and plundered was returned to them in full." Zhu Xiaobao then immediately confiscated all the property of the three elders of the Yu family!This is the biggest gain. All of a sudden, his financial pressure has been relieved a lot!

Of course, Tao Zhiqian will handle the rest of the matter completely. He doesn't need to do it himself, he just needs to see the detailed bodyguards and account list!

However, among the people, there is still a strong call to kill the three elders of the Yu family, and there are many small families among them who are stirring up trouble.But Tao Zhiqian was able to handle this kind of scene with ease, posting the Anmin notices one by one, and arresting a few families who were in the middle who wanted to disturb the situation, absolutely showing both kindness and power!Those demoted civilians also got their land back and received corresponding compensation!But that's it, in the end more than 200 evil slaves from more than [-] families were killed.

After a month of combing, all the properties and personnel of the Yu family were sorted out. Unexpectedly, there are as many as [-] slaves who have not been registered. These slaves have been registered again, and they have a formal identity .

Originally, Zhu Xiaobao wanted to bring them back to normal, but he was opposed by everyone, not to mention the local slave owners, even the big and small families in other counties and counties in Beizi Ruiguo strongly opposed it!Even Yu Qianrou scolded Zhu Xiaobao for announcing him into the palace!If you really do this, the world will not be in chaos?

Originally, it would take a long time to transition from slavery to feudalism!When Zhu Xiaobao came out from Yu Qianrou, he was very depressed and sighed!

In the end, these newly registered slaves all belonged to Zhu Xiaobao, and now the number of the three counties of the King of England is constantly increasing, and the development is much faster than expected.This made other counties very envious, but there was no way, who said that his county was not in Zhu Xiaobao's fiefdom!
