Leng Yi said with a sad face: "A humble position..., there really is no such thing as a humble position..."

Magistrate Liao stared at him and stamped his feet: "Are you really not crying until you see the coffin?"

Leng Yi almost cried and looked at Magistrate Liao pitifully.

Magistrate Liao was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and said: "In this case, I can't help you! Lord Leng, please come back!"

Leng Yi said goodbye and returned to Yinling Inn with a sad face.

He asked Mr. Dong to arrange for Deputy Chief Song to return to Yinling County with all the Zaoli. He couldn't stand it when these people stayed here and paid for their food and accommodation. Moreover, besides attracting attention, these people stayed here.

No more effect.

The only people left behind were Wu Baotou and Master Dong. Everyone else returned to Yinling County.

At noon the next day, Magistrate Liao brought Niu Baotou and others to the Yinling Inn. The Magistrate took the initiative to visit Xiaguan at the inn. This was probably a privilege only Leng Yi enjoyed. However, he would rather not take this privilege because Magistrate Liao was tossing it over and over again.

Just asking the same question: Are you ready to meet the Huang Zhuan Envoy?

Leng Yi still looked pitiful. He had no money to pay taxes, and he did not go back to Yinling to borrow money or find a way. He just stayed in the inn in Bazhou, as if he knew that he had no way to raise money, and waited quietly for the prefect.

Dismissal and investigation. Magistrate Liao was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but there was nothing he could do.

In the next few days, Magistrate Liao reported to the inn every day and asked Leng Yi the same question. Of course, he got the same answer.

Finally, the first day of the twelfth lunar month has arrived. This is the last day to pay taxes every year.

Early that morning, Leng Yi called shopkeeper Jia of the inn into his room, took out the pawn ticket he found from the old thief, and said to shopkeeper Jia: "I'm going to pawn a pair of bronze wine bottles that were passed down from my family."

However, this thing is very valuable. I am in urgent need of money now, so I have no choice but to pawn it. We are all Yinling people. I see that you are very honest, so I ask you, if you are willing to buy this thing, you can

After redeeming it, I think you can give me a suitable price, as long as it is higher than the dead pawn. If not, please help me get this pawn ticket, sell the items on it, and get the money back.

.Deduct all the rent and food I owe you, and bring me the rest."

Shopkeeper Jia quickly took the pawn ticket and thought, what do you mean by returning the remainder to you? It depends on whether there is any left. If you are so poor that you can live in an inn without paying, how can you get anything valuable to pawn?

?This thing is probably not even enough to pay for your own shop and food, so how can you have any leftover?

While thinking about it in his mind, he took the pawn ticket and took a look at it. He couldn't help but be surprised. The pawn ticket had the amount of the absolute sale written on it. The absolute sale amount means that the items given to the pawn shop cannot be redeemed, so they are sold to the pawn shop.

, this price is a must-sell, also known as "dead price". This price is extremely low.

Shopkeeper Jia looked at what he was pawning, and it turned out to be a pair of bronze wine bottles. He looked at the price, and although it was a dead pawn, it was still quite high. He rolled his eyes and thought, maybe this thing is really valuable.

If it is pawned to death, wouldn't it mean that the pawn shop gets a better deal? It's better to redeem it and take a look.

After thinking about it, Shopkeeper Jia happily went out.

Soon, Shopkeeper Jia came back with two waiters, holding a box of silver and placing it on the round table. He smiled and said, "Sir, please count the money. Is the amount correct? The food and rent have been paid."

Already."

Leng Yi opened the box and counted the amount. It was more than the absolute price. He looked at Shopkeeper Jia doubtfully: "It's a lot more money. Do you want it yourself?"

"Yes! After I redeemed the villain and looked at it, I liked it very much, so I paid for it myself according to your wishes. I will give it to you at a higher price than the exclusive sale price, and all the rent and food will be charged.

.What do you think?"

"Okay! That's it." Leng Yi smiled, waved him away, called Mr. Dong in, and asked him how much all his debts, including public and private debts, were.

Master Dong didn't know why the county magistrate was still in the mood to ask this question when all his taxes were gone. He quickly went back to his room to get the account book, quickly calculated it, and told Leng Yi.

When Leng Yi heard this, half of his heart dropped: the tax money, the money from shopkeeper Jia who bought the wine bottle, and the money he found from the old thief, Mr. Tang, the fat girl from the Tutu Temple, the beautiful woman and others

In addition to completing the task of paying taxes, the money can also repay the food money owed to the yamen clerks and the debt owed by Bazhou. However, the remaining debts to creditors other than Yinling Yamen cannot be repaid.

This is already a great progress, and at least we are initially out of trouble. It will take about a year to repay the remaining debt with monthly salary. After one year, we will be debt-free.

Of course, if there is a killer who wants to kill him in the meantime, he can also make a small fortune by the way. However, he would rather not make this kind of small fortune. After all, this is gambling with his life. It is easy to hide an open gun and hard to prevent it!

In the afternoon, there was less than half an hour left before the official office. At this time, the horse-faced waiter hurriedly came up and reported that the prefect was here again, but this time, he brought a large group of policemen with him. Leng Yi immediately

He called Zhuo Qiaoniang to Captain Wu's room and told them that no matter what happened, they were not allowed to come out. Zhuo Qiaoniang saw that he said seriously and quickly agreed.

After Leng Yi settled Zhuo Qiao Niang, he walked out of the room and saw that Magistrate Liao had a gloomy face and hurried over. He hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "I pay my respects to the Magistrate!"

"Humble position? I'm afraid you won't have a chance to use your humble position in the future!" Magistrate Liao sneered, "The deadline for paying taxes is coming soon, can you raise money to make up for the shortfall?"

Leng Yi slowly took out an old money bag from his arms and handed it to Magistrate Liao with both hands: "That's all I have in my possessions. If possible, please let me use it to make up for the shortfall."

Magistrate Liao took the money bag, opened it, and threw it on the round table with a roar. In addition to a few broken pieces of silver, there were also some copper coins. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: "You have lost so much tax money, how can you make up for it with this?"

Leng Yi spread his hands and made a helpless gesture.

Magistrate Liao stared at him and said word by word: "You - really - have no - solution?"

Leng Yi nodded slowly.

Magistrate Liao waved his hand, and Niu Baotou and others came over with shackles and chains in their hands to lock Leng Yi.

Leng Yi did not resist at all, and stretched out his hands, waiting for them to put on the shackles. Master Dong next to him sighed, stamped his feet and beat his chest, but there was nothing he could do.

Niu Baotou was obviously a little surprised by Leng Yi's behavior. He held the shackles and looked back at Magistrate Liao.

Magistrate Liao smiled bitterly and shook his head, waving his hand. Niu Baotou waited for the arrester and then retreated.

Magistrate Liao said: "Forget it! You are a scholar who has studied hard for ten years in a cold window, and it is easy to get an official position in exchange for it. It is excusable that your taxes were stolen this time. I have told your situation to the transfer officer."

Your Excellency has said it, and he also expressed his understanding, saying that he is the one who makes the decision and will give you another half a year to raise funds to make up for the shortfall."

Leng Yi was obviously a little surprised and looked at Magistrate Liao blankly.

Magistrate Liao waved and called two people from behind, one man and two women. The two women were only in their early twenties. They looked and dressed exactly the same, and they turned out to be twins. Their eyebrows were curved, and their eyes conveyed emotions like rippling blue waves.

Spring water, lips are as red as delicate cherries, cheeks are broken by blows, and skin is as frosty as snow, just like a pair of delicate red peonies. Perhaps it is the reason for martial arts training, the breasts are enlarged and the waist is slim, the figure is graceful, strong and heroic.

.

Looking at the man next to him, he turned out to be an old man. When Leng Yi saw that the old man had a pair of triangular eyes, he couldn't help but be surprised. He looked at his eyes carefully and then remembered that it was that night when he entered the Yamen and stepped on the corridor.

The ice and snow woke him up. He climbed up the big tree behind the house and saw the masked man with triangular eyes climbing over the wall through the night vision scope of the sniper rifle! Although he was masked that day, those triangular eyes made him

He has a photographic memory.

Magistrate Liao said: "Your taxes have been stolen by thieves many times. In order to prevent such things from happening again, I recommend you to set up a nursing home - come! Let's meet." He pointed at the two women.

: "They are twin sisters, their surname is Cheng, the elder sister's name is Cheng Luojie, and the younger sister's name is Cheng Luoxuan. Both sisters are good at throwing knives, and they are perfect with every shot!"

With a smile on his face, Leng Yi cupped his hands and said, "I've seen two heroines!"

"Don't take it seriously!" The two sisters almost clasped their fists in return and said in unison: "Greetings, Mr. Leng!"

Even their voices are exactly the same. If they were really around me, I really wouldn't know how to tell them apart.
Chapter completed!
