Disarmed and returned to the field

When it was almost noon, I heard chickens flying around in the village. Xie San'er went out to take a look, and saw Tian Sichang and a few people copying from each house.

Although Tian Sichang is only a township official the size of a sesame seed, he is domineering in the village because of his power to collect rent.

Seeing how many people came over with a handful of bacon in one hand and a handful of soybeans in another, Xie San went out to "pick up customers" with a flattering face. Qiu Lichang, have a good time, have a good time."

Tian Sichang squeezed his beard and bumped Xie San'er away. Without lowering his eyes, he turned around and entered Xie San'er's house, humming and asking: "I said Xie San'er, you have been living a little better recently. Listen to Master Liu Say, you took a good treasure and exchanged a lot of silver from him?"

Xie San smiled and said: "Oh, I said Mr. Si, you really believe the rumors in the village, what kind of treasure can I get for such a poor wretch." The master has exchanged some money."

Tian Sichang squinted his eyes and nodded.

Xie San'er said again: "Chairman Si, I knew you were coming today, and I have already prepared the food and drinks. If you are not in a hurry, how about a drink?"

Tian Sichang's complexion immediately improved, and he asked, "Drink two cups?"

"Drink two cups!"

The director was happy, Xie San hurriedly set up a table in the yard, set out wine and meat, and greeted several elders to have wine.

Obviously it was a knife cut on the calf, but Xie San described it as thunderous, powerful, and extremely dangerous. He is righteous, with the posture of a wolf and a tiger. He is calm and careless in the face of danger, and dies carelessly.

At the critical moment, Xie San'er rushed in and shouted: "Ayao, take out the two pots of flower carvings I put in the well."

After saying this, he saw A Yao limping out with a gloomy face holding a flower carving.

"This is my cousin." Xie San quickly introduced, "A Yao, his name is Tian Ye, and his name is Qiu Ye."

Xu Luyao bit his lip, wanting to stare at everyone to death.

"Why are you so ignorant, kid?" Xie San hammered him twice, and wanted to take the opportunity to do two more, but was startled by Xu Luyao's eyes, so he withdrew his hand.

Tian Sichang and the others were anxiously listening, they couldn't control so much, they just grabbed Xie San'er and said, "What about the following? Didn't the great general sweep away thousands of people? What happened to the crotch of that dog thief in Khitan? Did the general cut him off from his sons and grandchildren?"

Xie San chuckled, took a piece of pig's head meat and chewed it in his mouth, and said with a pun, "The bottom? The bottom is long gone!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out into obscene laughter.

In the midst of the chaos, Xie San'er pulled Xu Luyao, who had a bad complexion, to the side, stuffed more than a dozen copper coins and said, "Go to Lao Zhangtou and cut another half a catty of braised pork."

Xu Luyao didn't move, just stared at him.

Xie San sighed, touched the back of Xu Luyao's head, and said in a low voice: "Those stories about beating the Khitan people are all lies. I am a soldier, how can I see the scene of thousands of horses galloping. How can I be so magical. Mo Take it to heart."

Xu Luyao took the money and went out obediently.

Xie San heaved a sigh of relief, and when he came back, he saw that the director had already taken out the small abacus with copper coins, and his chubby hands were flying over it, dazzled.

"Xie San'er, let's settle accounts, Brother Ming, we can't say that we will be alone after eating your wine and meat."

Jie San accompanied him with a smile: "That is, that is."

I saw that the chief of the office had already muttered something: "Let's not talk about the boss's money, the warehouse tax, the farm equipment tax, and the cow leather tendon horn tax, but all the courtiers have to pay. As usual, it is still one or two taels of silver. Jinji tax, silkworm salt money, Quyin money, and market money should all be filial. This amounts to five taels of silver. The weeds in your house have grown a lot. Even though you don’t have livestock, you still have to pay the pasture money. . If the total is tied, I will charge you seven taels."

Xie San let out an "ah".

Tian Sichang didn't finish the calculation, and said again: "Xie San'er, you dug the tomb of a senior official in the neighboring mountain. It is absolutely true. Will you give me the money for digging the grave?"

"Give……"

"That's it. And your brother came suddenly. What do you say?"

Xie San'er was speechless, with a bitter face, and stood beside her for a while, holding her hands.

Tian Sichang calculated for a long time and said: "It's 55 taels in total. Seeing that you don't have much money, we are good brothers anyway, so we count it as 50 taels."

"50 taels?!" Xie San almost cried, bowing his head and saying, "Oh, Mr. Si, how can I get 50 taels when I am poor and settled?"

Tian Si smiled and said: "If not, then catch your younger brother to sieve the sand in the Xiliang River. Is that okay?"

Xie San held his mouth shut, and dawdled for a long time, haggling over the price, and it was settled when he pressed down to 45 taels of silver.

He went into the room and took out the 50 taels of silver note that he found on Ayao's body, and touched it in his hand for a while, knowing that the note in his hand was a hot potato, but at this moment, there was nothing he could do.

He glanced at the bank note again, sighed, and went out to give it to Chief Si.
