It took five days to hire a team of escorts to transport silver taels. Everyone just returned to Guobei County. The ancient journey was such a pit, and it took days and nights casually.

All the way to the dust.

Pan Haodong and his party arrived at the county government office. Before they had time to drink, they saw a young man in Tsing Yi broke into the government office and said arrogantly: "County Order Pan, my master would like to invite you."

"Who is your master?"

Pan Haodong asked.

"My master is Guo Xiaotian, the patriarch of the Guo clan, the largest local family, and I am waiting for the magistrate to drive Yunhe Tower tonight."

Tsing Yi Xiao Si finished speaking, and left without looking back.

Ning Caichen put down his luggage, walked to Pan Haodong, and said, "Cousin, since Guo Xiaotian is the largest squire in the area, he will definitely not invite you to dinner for no reason. Tonight may be a Hongmen banquet."

"It doesn't matter whether he is a Hongmen Banquet or a Lanmen Banquet, I have to face them sooner or later. It is better to come sooner than later, and save the unscrupulous country gentry who levies these fish and meat people all day."

Pan Haodong said with a relaxed look.

The strong dragon can't beat the earth snake, that's because the dragon is not strong enough, it really has to be strong to a certain extent, no matter how powerful the earth snake has to kneel.

He still doesn't believe that Guo Xiaotian can be dealt with.

This prominent patriarch, who has the same name as Guo Daxia's father, is really so powerful. The Lanruo Temple outside Guobei County will not become a forbidden place in the hearts of the people.

"My husband is right. Soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. The squires are well-known and powerful in the local area, but they are just mortals after all."

Yazi is very supportive of men's practices, and likes her husband's attitude towards things. She has to be heavily ill when she is seriously ill. She can't be weak because of her new arrival.

The local squires are arrogant, they are just local snakes.

Bullying honest people at most by force.

I want to bully her husband.

"Cousin, don't forget that my husband is a monk."

Long Jiu reminded.

The worried Ning Caichen smiled blankly when he heard the words.

He still couldn't turn his head.

The people don’t fight against officials and the idea of ​​not fighting against wealth is deeply ingrained. Even if you become an official, you have to adapt to it for a long time before you can get rid of the fear of this fear.

...

That night.

Before going to the Yunhe Tower for a banquet.

Pan Haodong was holding a pair of red pants and found Ning Caichen, who was staying in the side room, and said, "Cousin, this is a pair of mana pants. Wearing it outside can increase your defense and strength. I am worried that someone will come over after leaving. Kidnapping you and my two ladies, you must not refuse."

"This……"

Ning Caichen looked tangled.

Such red pants, it's okay to wear them inside, but it's too shameful to wear them outside.

This is Pan Haodong's wicked taste. He deliberately didn't tell his cousin that Superman's red pants can actually be worn inside. He tried it and it worked well.

I gave Superman's red pants to Ning Caichen, and let my cousin wear it when in danger, passive defense +50, strength +25, agility +25, and the cousin who has no power to bind a chicken can instantly become a martial artist. Master.

A set of blind punches can kill the old martial artist, and there will be a high degree of security.

"Cousin, do everything urgently, don't hesitate, accept it!"

Pan Haodong forced the red pants to his cousin, turned and walked out the door.

Ning Caichen held the red pants with a rich expression. Looking at the back figure that was gradually disappearing from his eyes, he couldn't help but whispered: "Why don't you try it on first, or give it back to your cousin?"

at the same time……

Yunhe Tower, Guo Xiaotian, the elder of the Guo family, the largest prominent family in Guobei County, walked vigorously on the top floor observatory with a silver gun.

The observatory is a wing room similar to a loft. It is ventilated on three sides. It is very cold in winter. The food will cool down after a while when it is placed on the table. It is now in autumn.

The squires and gentlemen who have already taken their seats need to drink a few sips of hot tea from time to time to warm up their bodies.

"Master Guo."

"Master Guo."

"..."

Everyone got up to greet.

Guo Xiaotian walked to the main seat and smiled and said, "Sit all sit down."

"You first, you first."

"Why didn't County Order Pan come?"

When Guo Xiaotian took the seat to speak, his face was obviously displeased. Guobei County was the site of the Guo family, and the county magistrate had always been a puppet controlled by their Guo family.

Before the new county magistrate took office, he was so disrespectful to himself. It seemed that he could just give a little bit of color to let the other party know who is in charge of this family in Guobei County.

"I don't know, maybe I'm afraid."

Someone said.

Guo Xiaotian will host a banquet tonight. It is clearly a Hongmen banquet. If you are obedient, you will be allowed to take office. If you are not obedient, then don't want to see the sun tomorrow. There are dozens of dead men hidden in the wing below Yunhe Tower.

They will kill their lives without giving money.

Because these people are orphans picked up by the Guo family from outside, feeding them is the greatest kindness...

"Maybe already on the road." Someone raised a different opinion.

"Our new county magistrate is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. Even the banquet hosted by Mr. Guo dares to be late..."

"We didn't seem to mention the specific time?"

"Is this important?"

"unimportant."

I didn't say that time really doesn't matter, what matters is that Guo Xiaotian has arrived.

The previous county magistrates and Guo Xiaotian ate dinner. They all had a stick of incense, or half an hour in advance, and stayed honestly in the restaurant waiting for Master Guo to drive.

No one has just let Master Guo wait for driving.

Pan Haodong was the first and possibly the last.

However, Pan Haodong didn't let Guo Xiaotian wait for long. After explaining something about Yazi and Long Jiu, he rushed over from the county government.

Step onto the observatory.

Pan Haodong said: "Which is Guo Xiaotian Master Guo?"

"Master Guo is..."

A landlord surnamed Yang got up, ready to solemnly introduce Guo Xiaotian.

But before he finished speaking, Pan Haodong interrupted, "Are you Guo Xiaotian?"

"No, I'm Yang..." Landlord Yang shook his head.

"Isn't that why you stand up?"

Pan Haodong glanced at Landlord Yang and said indifferently: "I asked Guo Xiaotian, not your surname Yang,"

"..."

Landlord Yang's neck was flushed red.

Humph!

Guo Xiaotian snorted coldly: "I am Guo Xiaotian, haven't you asked for advice?"

"Pan Haodong, the new magistrate of Guobei County."

Pan Haodong walked over to Guo Xiaotian and sat down, and said frankly: "If you have any thoughts, please tell me, I don't have time to ink with you."

"light and spacious!"

"Pan County Order, I like a refreshing person like you, who doesn't procrastinate in doing things."

Guo Xiaotian clapped his hands and said: "If this is the case, then I will just say that if all previous county magistrates came to our Guobei County to collect money, they all need to hand in 80% of the tax to us. Seeing that you are so happy, you should hand in the first year Seven achievements are enough, you keep the remaining 30%."

The tone of charity, the tone of arrogance.

This is, I really regard Guobei County as my own home, and I can come wherever I want.

Pan Haodong was amused.

I saw him smiling and saying, "Master Guo, can I ask you something?"

Guo Xiaotian said: "Excuse me."

Pan Haodong pointed to the landlord Yang and the others: "I want to know how much of the 80% of the tax paid by the previous county magistrates was given to them?"

"Thirty percent."

Guo Xiaotian was blunt.

The Guo family occupies half of the county's taxation, and it is worthy of being the most powerful family in the area.

It is simply a big cancer.

Must be removed!
