Chapter 256 Provocation
Mu Shouli was shocked when Guo Pu said that this person named Han Yue was from the former Jinyiwei.

He was also surprised, Han Yue didn't do a good job in Jinyiwei Baihu, how could he become a gangster.But after thinking about it, when the Commander of Jin Yiwei had an accident with Zhu Huan and the new king came to the throne, the Northern and Southern Yamen must have a big change of blood. Thinking about it this way, it is understandable.Political struggles have always been cruel, and Han Yue still has some skills to be able to retire safely.

Of course, the battle for the heir apparent is only a matter between a few big figures in a small area. People at Mu Shouli's level have not been able to get in touch with it, so they don't know the clues of it.

A former Jin Yiwei is not worth being afraid of.Of course, Guo Pu was able to find a former Jinyiwei hundred households to help out, which still made people feel surprised. Could it be that this Han Yue has now switched to Wuding Hou Guoxun's sect?

It's nothing special for a warrior to be down and out again.

Mu Shouli came from a serious family background. Thinking about it this way, he didn't take Han Yue seriously, and ignored Han Yue. He just said to Guo Pu lightly: "The new magistrate of Fangshan is coming soon. Mr. Guo, you'd better hurry up!" Think of a way."

He also disapproved of Guo Pu in his heart, this Guo Pu was also a county magistrate after all, and he was also a scholar, so why would he find a thug whenever he encountered a problem.Gentlemen fight wits but not strength, and all the books of saints are read in the stomach of dogs.

Seeing that Mu Shouli didn't give her a good look, Han Yue felt annoyed in her heart, and said in her heart: When we were in Beiya, don't say that you, a small minister from Qipin County, even the governor of a province, would be ashamed to see me. Trembling with trepidation, he didn't dare to take a breath.Now that I have lost power, cats and dogs are riding on my head.

Guo Pu smiled: "The county magistrate of Fangshan is coming to trouble me, Lao Guo. This is a bit interesting. I have always troubled others, but now the trouble has come to us. Today we have to take a good look at the excitement. He didn't care." He turned around and said to Han Yue: "Brother Han, don't be afraid. When you come to my house, no one can do anything to you. Let's do this today. Master Mu is rare. Come to my place once, the three of us first find a place to have a drink, talk about Fengyue, and let the magistrate wait for him in the study for a few hours, and when we have enjoyed ourselves, we will come out to see how the magistrate is doing behind closed doors. "

While talking, he cupped his hands towards Mu Shouli: "I really have to thank Mr. Mu for this matter. You and I have not had much contact with each other all this time. We need to get closer in the future."

When Mu Shouli saw Guo Pu accepting his friendship, he was also happy in his heart, knowing that he had been on the line with Wu Dinghou since then.He hurriedly returned the gift and said: "Your Majesty Guo is very polite. It's nothing to worry about. However, in my opinion, this matter should be resolved as soon as possible, and the magistrate should be dismissed in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, if it really drags on, I'm afraid There will be trouble."

Guo Pu didn't take it seriously: "Why is there any trouble, will my old Guo family be in trouble?"

Mu Shouli said solemnly: "Master Guo, have you heard that he intends to carry out tax reforms today, requiring the local government to clear the land and check the hidden population."

Guo Pu frowned: "I've heard it before, but the world is so big that there are so many hidden lands and people, even if the court has the courage to clear the land, it won't be able to do it in a few decades. Besides, the new king is also a temporary I am passionate, if I really want to implement it, I am afraid that there will be great resistance. The grandmas in the court, the local officials and gentry, which one has no one to rely on. From my point of view, this matter cannot be carried forward. "

Mu Shouli nodded: "Master Guo is right, but I'm afraid that someone will come to trouble you with a chicken feather as an arrow. Hua Daniu's family gave you the land. At that time, the new county magistrate really used him as an excuse. Back off, once the opening is opened, I'm afraid there will be trouble. I think he will definitely do this, so I think that this matter should be given to him from the very beginning and kill his vigor."

From Mu Shouli's point of view, he naturally hoped that the conflict between Guo Pu and Sun Dan would grow bigger and bigger.The bigger the incident, the more likely Marquis Wu Ding behind Guo Pu will show up. As long as Guo Xun shows up, Sun Dan, the county magistrate, will be able to do it.

At that time, who can give me the post of magistrate of Fangshan?

Guo Pu himself was a person with no scheming, and when he heard what Mu Shouli said, he was shocked.There were also discussions in the imperial court about the issue of Qingzhang's land. However, because this matter affected the fundamental interests of the noble gentry in the world, there was too much movement, so it could only be discussed but not resolved.However, even with such loud voices of opposition, the emperor was still a little moved.Not only the emperor, but even Yang Tinghe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, also felt that this was a good way to solve the financial crisis of the imperial court.

Since the emperor and the capital both had this idea, they had to attract attention.

Although the new tax reform has not yet been implemented in practice, but if there is something good at the top, the bottom must follow suit. There are some sycophants who are eager for quick success and instant benefits, and take the lead in implementing this evil policy at the local level.

Sun Dan, the new magistrate of Fangshan County, heard that he is a well-known talent. Of course, he can be a court official with only one person. Action, this can not help but be wary of.

I know my own affairs well. Although Guo Pu has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, most of them rely on him to evade taxes.If Sun Dan doesn't care about making himself clear, his worth will immediately shrink by more than [-]%.This is a lot of expenses in the family, and a large sum of money has to be donated to the Hou Mansion every year.Without the income from the land, within two years, they will not be able to survive.

Guo Pu's face was uncertain, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Seeing his hesitation, Mu Shouli knew that there was a connection, and said with a smile: "Why, Mr. Guo is still afraid of that talented person. I know this person before, and he has nothing to do with the high officials in the court. Otherwise, I will come to Fangshan this time to serve. , why didn't the people above say hello?"

"I think it must be like this." Guo Pu suddenly cheered up. Ordinarily, if there is a connection between a county like Fangshan and Xinzhi County when he arrives, there must be a big person to say hello in advance.Now that Sun Dan came here quietly, it is estimated that there is no way.

He chuckled: "In that case, I really have to show him how good he is today, and let him know that without the support of our gentry, he can't go on as a county magistrate for a day." He glanced at Han Yue: "Hero Han, When we meet someone later, it will depend on your performance."

Han Yue snorted and said, "The governor's prefect under arrest cannot be counted on ten fingers. Let's see how I deal with that little magistrate later." With Guo Xun behind him, Guo Fu came forward, Han Yue was just a Fighters, naturally don't have to be afraid.

"Okay, I'll give him a Hongmen banquet today."

Just as they were discussing, another family member ran over: "My lord, Sun Dan, the new county magistrate of Fangshan, is asking to see me."

Mu Shouli hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "Master Guo, it's inconvenient for me to see Sun Dan, so I'll go back to the county through the back door."

"Okay, come here, send Master Mu off."

Neither Guo Pu nor Mu Shouli noticed that Han Yue's face lost all color when she heard Sun Dan's name.
