Chapter 130 Six Luo Yunzong Pays Tribute
Behind the City Lord's Mansion of Yunxi City, there is a large-scale garden. There is a pool of water in the garden connected to the outside lake. Around the lake, there are several rockeries standing tall, reflecting the extremely delicate pavilion on the water in the pool.

At this time, two old men were playing chess under the gazebo, and several guards stood beside them quietly like statues, not daring to disturb them at all.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a green robe with golden cloud patterns slowly walked out of the back hall of the City Lord's Mansion and headed for the depths of the corridor. When he saw the figures of the two old men in the pavilion, he immediately Taking three steps in parallel, he came to the gazebo, but when he wanted to go further, the guards in the gazebo stopped him. Seeing this, the middle-aged man didn't dare to take another step, for fear of disturbing the two of them.

After waiting for a while, the two old men had finished playing chess. Then, one of them waved in the direction of the middle-aged man, and the guard beside him let him go.

The middle-aged man in green robe breathed a sigh of relief, and then he wanted to salute the two with his hands clasped together, but the old man just waved his hand and said:

"You don't have to be polite, just say it."

The middle-aged man immediately put his hands in his sleeves, bowed his head and said, "Master Taibao, all the members of those families are here."

This old man is the head of the Tan family, Tan Shuiqing, Tan Taibao. He just nodded after listening, his expression remained calm, but he asked, "Has the head of the Helian family, He Lianjing, come?"

"Um... waiting outside the door." The middle-aged man replied in a low voice.

Tan Shuiqing put away the chessboard and laughed, and then ordered: "Hehe, after all, they are also the old family forces of Yunxi County, why do you make things difficult for them? Go, just let them in."

"Yes."

Afterwards, the middle-aged man left the place and headed towards the main hall, while another old man who was playing chess with him looked at the fish in the water and stood up slowly, saying:
"Tan Taibao, it's not His Majesty behind this tribute payment, but Luo Yunzong."

Tan Shuiqing nodded. From the grain expropriated this time, it is not difficult to see that this year has increased by nearly [-]% compared to last year. Not only Yunxi County, but also Luoye County, Qingchuan County, and Moshang County have increased a lot, but they are different. What's more, the other three counties are for the imperial court, only Luoye County is for Luo Yunzong.

"From the past, when the imperial court pays tribute to Luo Yunzong, it is almost always to collect local grains first, and then His Majesty will personally send people to deliver them after the collection is completed. Why did we send our carriage directly this time?"

Facing Tan Shuiqing's doubts, the old man shook his head and said:
"The reason for this is still unknown, but this trip should not go smoothly. You must always be on guard against the 'Lu family' and the 'Zhang family'. If something goes wrong, it is not that your majesty came to look for you, but Luo Yunzong will go out personally, when the time comes, our situation will only get worse."

When it comes to "Lu family" and "Zhang family", Tan Shuiqing looks a little dignified. The conflict between them is nothing more than a party dispute. Judging from the current situation, their party is already at a disadvantage. If there is another accident in this operation, it will be difficult for him to stand firm in the court in the future.

"It's a long journey this time, so we really need to pay more attention." The Patriarch of the Tan family said in a deep voice.

At this time, the old man said indifferently:

"There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Tan Taibao doesn't have to be too nervous."

Tan Shuiqing nodded. Although the task is heavy, if it is done well, it will be a big credit.

"It's almost time. Tan Taibao can come out and meet them."

After saying this, the old man slowly walked out of the gazebo followed by several guards, but he did not go to the main hall, but walked through layers of rockery towards the back door of the City Lord's Mansion.

After Tan Shuiqing watched the man leave, she no longer stayed here, turned around and left towards the main hall.

……

Outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, He Lianjing and He Lian Haixin stood upright among a group of Escorts and waited quietly, while Zhao Feng, who was standing in front of them, was yawning and observing the crowd, but seeing their expressions, They didn't seem to know why they were invited by the Tan family this time.

The long line in front of him was motionless, and I don't know if it was because there were still some family forces that hadn't entered, they, these small sects, were still waiting in place. Over time, the lazy young man became impatient to wait, and he turned to face The two members of the Helian family asked:

"The two belong to Helian's family?"

He Lianjing was a little puzzled, the Helian family had been silent for so many years, did he expect anyone to know him?And it is still a new force, but at this time he is no different than before. After so many years of depression, he has long lost the airs of family power. He replied with a smile:

"Hehe, I didn't expect the little brother to recognize me."

Zhao Feng's expression was much calmer, and he said: "I helped your family escort the grain darts some time ago, so I naturally recognize it."

At this time, Helian Hai was puzzled and wanted to ask who this person was.

"I don't know if you are..."

The lazy young man squeezed his chin, looked at the young man who was speaking behind the other party, and then slowly replied: "I'm at the fire front, the big shopkeeper of the fire front escort agency."

He Lian Haixin didn't know what to say for a while, he had never seen anyone using his own name as the name of an escort agency, but that point of doubt was resolved, the other party should have nothing to do with the Zhao Yuntian he knew, a surnamed Zhao, A surname is Huo, eight poles can't beat it.

"Hehe, it turns out that the little brother is the shopkeeper of the Fire Front Escort Bureau."

Facing He Lianjing's politeness, Zhao Feng didn't take it seriously. His real purpose of talking to the other party was actually to ask:
"Why don't your family forces go in quickly, but why are you standing with us escorts?"

After hearing this, the other bodyguards turned their heads to look at each other. The scene made He Lianjing and his son a little embarrassed.

"I said, why don't your family powers hurry in and stand in front of us?"

"If you want to show off, there's no need to show off in front of us, right?"

"That's right, we have to wait here until your family's influence is over. Do you have intentions?"

……

He Lianjing and his son were caught in a dilemma for a while, after all, what the other party said was not wrong, and he really didn't take it seriously.

While they were chatting, a young servant came out of the door. He stretched his neck and looked around, as if looking for someone. When he saw He Lianjing, his eyes showed a trace of disdain, and then he trotted up to the two of them. in front of people.

"Patriarch Helian, please come inside!"

He Lianjing breathed a long sigh of relief, he didn't blame the boy's contemptuous tone, but thanked him for helping him out of the siege.
