Kuiguan Commissioner Hui Tu and Kuiguan Patrolman Tong Zhu saw that Han Xiufeng was quite sensible, so they said nothing more and led a group of tax collectors away.

The customs officer is a coveted and lucrative job, but unfortunately he can only serve for one year. Therefore, we must be on guard against ships daring to break through, and we must also be on guard against the petty officials collecting taxes on the docks who are enriching their own pockets. The two of them have not returned to the city.

Instead of supervising the Yamen, he returned to the pavilion not far from the city gate to drink tea.

Han Xiufeng also did not go into the city, but took out a few copper coins, bought some fresh vegetables from the vendors on the dock, and asked Mrs. Qin Wu to light a fire at the bow of the boat to wash rice and cook.

Pan Er couldn't figure it out, so he asked with a grimace: "Master, if they ask you to pay two liang and one cent, you can pay two liang and one cent. Why are you so easy to talk to?"

"I would rather have fewer friends, but can they agree?" Han Xiufeng climbed onto the boat, walked through the cabin and sat at the stern. He picked up the fishing rod and turned around and asked, "Goudan, where is your Qu Shanzi (earthworm)?"

"Here, Mr. Han, don't get your hands dirty, I'll help you pretend."

"Okay, pick the red one."

What surprised Pan Er even more was that Du San also climbed to the stern of the boat, picked up Qin Wu's nephew's fishing rod and said with a smile: "Goudan, help me install a hook too!"

Goudan had never served an official before, and he liked being manipulated by the two officials, one civil and one military. He picked out a red yeast rice from a clay pot and crawled over to help Du San put it on.

Datou was a little jealous, feeling that Goudan had taken away his job, so he couldn't help but muttered: "Master, there are boats here and there. There are no fish in the water, and even if there are, they have been scared away."

"You know a hammer!" Before Han Xiufeng could say anything, Du San shook his head and said with a smile: "The two tax collectors were sitting at the top of the city just now looking at the mountain view. Your young master and I were Jiang Taiweng who took the bait.

"

Datou poked his head out of the cabin and said, "Mr. Du, I know Jiang Taiwen. Master Ba said that Jiang Taiwen does not use a curved hook for fishing, but that his hook is straight."

Han Xiufeng gently lifted the fishing rod and said with a smile: "It's called 'it's better to take it from the straight line than to ask for it from the curve'."

"Master, I don't know what to ask for, but I know that you won't be able to catch fish with a straight hook!"

"Who said you can't catch it? If you don't believe me, I'll catch a big fish for you to see."

"I don't believe it, young master. I'm not a melon boy. Don't always coax me."

Pan Er heard clearly in the cabin, and suddenly realized why Han Xiufeng did what he did just now, and couldn't help blurting out: "I believe it!"

"Pan Er, Young Master and Master Du are joking with us!"

"Young Master and Master Du are not joking with you. The straight hook really catches fish, and it's a big fish once caught." Pan Er is so shrewd. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Master, Master Du,

How about I go to the city to buy some meat and some wine?"

Han Xiufeng didn't want to fail, so he said calmly: "Don't go, no one should get off the ship from now on."

Du San even laughed and said: "You son of a bitch wants to drink wine and eat meat, right? With me here, you can still have wine and meat if you don't buy it."

…

At the same time, Tong Zhu, who had just drank a few sips of tea, thought more and more strangely. He put down the tea bowl and asked: "Huitu, why did the alternate inspection officer and Mr. Qian just not go into the city or leave? They don't look like they have no money.

Master, even if you don’t go to the city to visit brothels, you should go to an inn in the city to take a shower, change into clean clothes, and have a comfortable sleep."

"Are you afraid to enter the city when you see us sitting here?" Huitu subconsciously looked up at Qin Wu's boat.

"The taxes have been paid and the matter is over. There is nothing they dare to do."

"Yes, what kind of fun are they playing?"

"Could it be a spy sent by Shandong Road?"

"Suspicious!"

"Anyway, I think this matter is strange. Should I send someone to report it to the supervisor?"

Huitu looked back at him and asked with a somewhat disdainful smile: "Sichuan East Road says it is also in charge of Kui Guan's taxation, but is that Taoist really in charge of our Kui Guan's affairs? If the emperor really wants him to

No matter what, what kind of supervision will be sent?"

Tong Zhu came to his senses and couldn't help laughing: "It's true that among the 32 customs offices in the Ministry of Revenue, the 24 customs officers and committee members with the highest tax rates are all dispatched by our Ministry of Internal Affairs, including our Kui Pass. We are

If you help the emperor collect taxes, it would be nice if you can give them tens of thousands of taels of tax money. If you want to interfere in customs affairs, there is no way!"

"That's it, you have nothing to worry about."

While the two were talking, a Qianzi and four Baozong from Kuizhou Xiebiao came out of the city gate, chatting and laughing, holding a wine jar and a food box.

Tong Zhu looked down on Luying the most, holding a tea bowl and muttering: "What kind of wine do these grandsons come to drink from outside the city?"

"It's free," Huitu looked at the Green Camp military attaché walking towards the dock. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh: "These grandsons lived a good life. They actually had money to buy wine and even came out of the city to drink.

.”

"They are not drinking wine, they are drinking soldiers' blood!"

"Don't talk about the second brother. When you were working as an errand in the flag camp, you were living on empty pay and drinking the soldiers' blood."

Tong Zhu was about to retort when he saw Mr. Qian and the other bosses headed straight for Han Xiufeng's boat under the leadership of a porter. Han Xiufeng and Du San stopped fishing and climbed from the stern to the bow to greet them.

.

Huitu muttered: "I asked them why they didn't get off the boat. It turns out they were waiting for these Qiu Ba."

…

Han Xiufeng didn't know what the two tax collectors from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were talking about them. He just went to greet Du San's uncles and brothers. After doing the courtesy and greetings, he welcomed the four guests who had just boarded the ship into the cabin that Pan Er had just packed.

, asked Mrs. Qin Wu to bring bowls and chopsticks, and talked about business while drinking wine.

"Uncle Qiang, it's not that I, Zhixing, want to provoke them, it's that they want to frame Zhixing, and we are on the same road with them. If this matter can't be done in Kuizhou, I'm afraid even I won't be able to get to the capital!"

"Then what else is there to say? Since that turtle son was unkind in his appointment to the official position, don't blame us for being unjust!" Although Mr. Wang Qian is a Qianzong, he only has two flood soldiers under his command. Life has been tight these years, how can he do it?

After missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, thinking about it, he actually turned around and said with a smile: "Since the Copper Heavenly King wants to cause trouble, he might as well make it bigger. Go back to the camp and find two brothers who are good at water."

"What are you here for?" a boss asked in confusion.

Mr. Wang Qian whispered a few words into his ear, and a smile appeared on Mr. Wang's face. He immediately stood up and said, "Sanwazi, Zhixing, you drink slowly with Brother Qiang. I'll be right back."

"Uncle Li, let me see you off." Han Xiufeng said quickly.

"Myself, don't give it away. Besides, I'll be back soon." The short man got out of the cabin. After thinking about it, he turned around and said, "Brother Qiang, do you think we should also change our outfits? If you're not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid."

What if, what if we scare them away?"
