Empress Jiangshan: The doctor's hand covers the sky

Chapter 107 Seeing Injustice on the Road: Scaring Stupid and Corrupt Officials

Ling Tianyue chose a small restaurant that looked quite special, and ordered a lot of good dishes in one go. Maybe it's been a long time since anyone was so extravagant and wasted. The waiter's service was exceptionally warm and thoughtful.

Not long after, hidden guards disguised as various people came in one after another and ordered a lot of food.The boss who had been frowning and fiddled with the abacus behind the counter finally showed joy.

When Ling Tianyue got excited about eating, she asked the boss about the situation in the local prefecture.Starting with having a lot of food, I asked the boss if he needed it, and soon called the boss sisters, and the restaurant owner also poured out his bitterness.

Only then did I know what a smart and corrupt official Zhizhou of Dujiangyan is!

I was sent here for more than two years. It is said that I was demoted. In the first year, the tax was increased according to the size of the shop. For example, this small shop charged an extra ten taels of silver every year, no more, no less. It is still within the acceptable range, plus the people don’t fight with the officials, and they can’t fight, so everyone pays their taxes obediently and is safe and sound.

In the second year, the tax was raised by another ten taels. The owner of the small shop was actually very angry. She worked hard for a year to get rid of various items, and she only earned 50 taels of silver. The expenses of the family and the money for her son’s education, but there was no way. , can only endure.

This year, the natural disaster in Pingchuan affected them here. The imperial court reduced the taxes here. I thought it would be easier, but I didn't expect to add another ten taels!The reason is that the disaster in Pingchuan is serious, and it is a joke for the Zhizhou to levy taxes to help the people of Pingchuan!But this Zhizhou really sent some things over in a decent manner, and he was actually commended by the court!

"People nowadays are barely able to make ends meet." Gu Cheng finally finished speaking, and heaved a long sigh.

As soldiers, they lived and died several times, defending their homes and the country, but they did not expect that there were so many moths in the court that was defended with blood and life.

How exasperating and hateful!
After Ling Tianyue listened, she said in a low voice calmly: "After dinner, let's go shopping, maybe we can get some unexpected news, by the way," she paused, her eyes flickering, "Go and warn the magistrate. "I hate corrupt officials the most, especially those who make money from the country.

Gu Cheng hummed, and followed Ling Tianyue to wander the streets.After wandering around for a long time, I saw Zhu Limo and a 40-year-old woman with a slightly fat body and a rosy complexion coming out of the big inn, followed by a few servants, just covering up.

Zhu Limo saw that the Zhizhou thief was staring at Ling Tianyue and the others, so he had no choice but to introduce: "This is Dujiangyan Zhizhou, and this is the Ling family couple who transported the medicinal materials I mentioned just now."

Zhizhou narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Since I'm Miss Zhuli's friend, it's easy to talk about it. Why don't I invite everyone to have another drink, so that they are more familiar with each other, and it will be easier to deal with in the future." Opening the mouth is disgusting, and the eyes are even more lustful. Staring at Ling Tianyue narrowly, his saliva almost flowed down.

Gu Cheng almost stretched out his legs and kicked the dog official away, but Ling Tianyue stopped him, and said with a smile: "The Zhizhou is so rewarding, so I agree for my wife."

Ling Tianyue smiled slightly, almost blinding Zhizhou's eyes! "Let's talk about it, please, both of you." Zhizhou was so drunk that he wished he could immediately put this flowery man under his body.

"Miss Zhuli, you can go back first, Madam Ling and I will have a chat alone." Zhizhou dismissed Zhulimo, after all, it is not a glorious thing to snatch someone's rightful husband.

Ling Tianyue had to say that this shameless Zhizhou was right and said what she wanted to say.

Seeing this, Zhu Limo didn't stay any longer and left quickly.

Several people sat down in the private room, Zhizhou thought Ling Tianyue had a crush on him, and wanted to sit next to her with a smile on his face, Ling Tianyue kicked the stool away to let her wake up first.

Unexpectedly, the dog Zhizhou reacted quickly, reaching out to grab Ling Tianyue's clothes, but he didn't catch it, only heard a "click", and her arm broke.

The red eyes burned by alcohol instantly burned with anger, and the wine also woke up a lot. She murmured: "You guys are so brave! How dare you play tricks on Benzhizhou, hit me hard!"

He didn't respond, so he took a closer look and saw that the servants following him were lying on the ground in a disorganized state, which made him a little scared.

Ling Tianyue looked at him with a smile: "Zhizhou seems to be very interesting to me. It seemed that both eyes were looking at me just now. Why don't you dig them out..."

Gou Zhizhou was sweating immediately: "Ling Zhengfu is merciful. I offended you just now. Mrs. Ling will pass by here to do business in the future. One more thing is worse than one less thing. I will never play Ling Zhengfu's ideas again." When he escaped smoothly, Think again about how to punish these little people who don't know the heights of heaven and earth!
Ling Tianyue shook her head, and said to herself: "But, why don't I believe what you said? Do you believe it?" She asked Gu Chengyu and the others symbolically, shaking their heads, "See? ? Everyone doesn't believe it."

"I'm also Zhizhou anyway, please Mrs. Ling and Zhengfu to make things difficult for me. After all, we will have a lot of dealings in the future, and I can exempt you from tolls in the future." Seeing Ling Tianyue's brighter smile, Gou Zhizhou felt more frightened, "I will take today The toll that Zhu Limo gave me will also be refunded to you."

"I won't make things difficult for you." Ling Tianyue said kindly, and when she saw Zhizhou heaving a sigh of relief, the corners of her lips curled up. "I'm just torturing people, come here, hang her up for me, and then go find me a blunt knife."

Immediately, someone came over to lift up Zhizhou who had collapsed on the ground, her expression changed drastically, and she tried to intimidate them: "Don't embarrass me, I'm the court's official..."

"It's so noisy, do you want to cut off her tongue?" Gu Cheng frowned slightly.

Ling Tianyue shook her head and disagreed: "No, I like to hear the sound of people screaming because of pain and fear." Her smile was stained with blood, "You said we chopped off her limbs and blinded her eyes, Or peel her skin and sprinkle salt on it, or cut a few holes in her body and let her bleed to death..."

"Ling Zhengfu, please forgive me!" Seeing that the two spoke casually and naturally, Zhizhou said with a pale face, "I don't know Taishan with my eyes, and I deserve death. I beg you two to see that I can correct my mistakes. Forgive me!" That expression, that tear, was full of slavery.

Ling Tianyue cast her a glance, looked at Gu Cheng and said, "Cheng'er, I remembered that she threatened us just now."

Gu Cheng looked at Ling Tianyue's playful and mischievous expression, and cooperated in a contemplative state: "Yes, she said that she is an official of the imperial court, and she will have a lot of dealings in the future..."

"I don't know Taishan with my eyes! Madam Ling, don't care about me like a villain..." Zhizhou burst into tears.

Ling Tianyue looked at her with disgust: "Since this is the case, I will give you a chance to correct it."
