The noise was so loud that passers-by quickly dodged for fear of causing trouble. Xia Xiaoran uses the corner of his eye to see that the boss of baozi stall has already left the stall.
But Xia Xiaoran is a person who has seen the big market. Even if the other party is fierce, Xia Xiaoran can take it calmly. Xia Xiaoran pushes aside Zhou Han, who is in front of him, looks up at the man in black who is one head higher than himself, and answers: "it's mine. What's the matter?" You want to be a triad if you wear black clothes.
Looking at Xia Xiaoran's less than five feet tall, the visitor sneered from his nose and said with disdain, "who am I? I'm just a girl." Say to want to lift Xia Xiaoran's chin with the whip in the hand.
Zhou Han stepped forward, grabbed the other party's whip and said: "don't touch."
The man is impatient, raises the whip to want to take Zhou Han, who is even higher than himself. Xia Xiaoran has an eye disease and drinks loudly: "what do you want to do?"
Scared by Xia Xiaoran's cry, the man can't take a look at Zhou Han any more. He angrily puts down the whip, and the man turns to Xia Xiaoran, "I'm the tax officer of Qingshan County Yamen. I've paid the tax this month right away."
Originally not underworld, Xia Xiaoran holding chest, coldly looking at the man in black, "what tax?"
"As long as you do business in the city, you have to pay taxes. Otherwise, what do you want the government to eat?" The man in black turns into a city manager in one second. His head is so upturned that he can see the hair in his nostrils, which makes Xia Xiaoran nauseous.
"I've been in Qingshan County for so long, why don't I know I have to pay taxes?" Zhou Han said with disdain, "and there are so many people setting up stalls here, why only we have to pay taxes?"
"Hum." The man gave a sneer, "look, who else is setting up a stall in this street besides you."
Xia Xiaoran suddenly turned back, the originally bustling streets are now really empty, even one after another stalls have disappeared without a trace.
Xia Xiaoran
The evil spirit of the man in black laughs wildly and says to Xia Xiaoran who has a black thread: "pay ten Liang silver tax immediately, or break your stall."
Xia Xiaoran nodded, did not care to return: "you at will."
Man: --
Because the stall is broken and the donkey cart is pulled away, Xia Xiaoran and Zhou Han can easily walk home. On the way, Xia Xiaoran thought more and more angrily, hating teeth itching.
Zhou Han anxiously looked at Xia Xiaoran's black face and comforted him: "fortunately, he didn't take away ten Liang silver."
What is the concept of ten Liang silver in this time and space? The expenses of a wealthy family in a city are half a year.
Xia Xiaoran's business is good these two days, but he doesn't earn five Liang either.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Xiaoran tried to calm himself down. Looking at Zhou Han's hand, he asked, "is your hand OK?" When the Yamen officer was about to smash the stall, if Xia Xiaoran didn't pull it, Zhou Han would go up and fight with him. But even if Xia Xiaoran pulled it in time, Zhou Han still hurt his hand by the wood on the stall.
"Not in the way." Zhou Han waved his hand, but now he cares more about Xia Xiaoran's mood.
Xia Xiaoran carefully recalled the farce in the afternoon. Although the man who came to make trouble was dressed as a yamen servant, it was hard to say that he came to collect taxes alone. Moreover, seeing the reaction of the people around him, he was just as intentional.
Is this being suppressed? Xia Xiaoran gritted his teeth to think that if I catch someone who is making trouble in it, I will break his leg.
Suddenly he turned his head to look at Zhou Han's direction. Zhou Han was so scared that he stammered: "Ling, Ling Xue, what's the matter with you?"
Xia Xiaoran pushes aside Zhou Han who is standing in front of him and goes straight to the notice board.
The notice board is the only microphone of the policy instructions handed down by the superior, which has always been authoritative. The colorful signs on the billboard stand out. Red paper is generally put list will have, white paper is wanted, let Xia Xiaoran notice is a yellow paper.
Yellow, the royal color. Xia Xiaoran looked at the contents of the notice, lost in thought.
Unable to read, Zhou Han turned and asked Xia Xiaoran, who was thinking, "what's in the notice?"
"The emperor's concubine had a very serious anorexia, and the imperial doctor couldn't cure it, so she had to recruit famous doctors from all over the world." Xia Xiaoran raised his head, a serious face, "I want to try."
Today's smashing of stalls is no accident. Xia Xiaoran has a premonition that this kind of thing will happen every now and then. Instead of being secretly suppressed and bullied by gangsters, he might as well expose this imperial list. Xia Xiaoran always thinks that it is a truth to seek wealth in danger.
"Ling Xue, you don't really want to expose the imperial list, do you?" Zhou Han asked anxiously, if you can't cure your concubine, it's a big crime to bully you, and you're going to lose your head.
Xia Xiaoran sweet smile, said: "how can it, I just casually say." Xia Xiaoran's life experience is very rich, the study of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine is not shallow, plus the princess's disease is not terminally ill, Xia Xiaoran has seven or eight points of assurance can cure her.
However, Xia Xiaoran's corner of the eye Yu Guang sees the worry on Zhou Han's face and touches his chin. It seems that this matter can't let him know for the moment.
Zhou Han wiped the cold sweat on his head, "that's good." Following Zhou Han, Xia Xiaoran casually turns back and takes a meaningful look at the imperial list on the notice board. In the next few days, Zhou Han was always prevaricated by Xia Xiaoran for various reasons when he went to find Xia Xiaoran. Zhou Han stood outside the window and sighed deeply. Sure enough, he was hurt, though he was calm that day. Zhou Han thinks that Xia Xiaoran is scared by the smashing of the stall that day, and he doesn't dare to mention it any more. He just puts the meal Zhang Meng prepared for Xia Xiaoran at the door to remind Xia Xiaoran to remember to eat“ All right, all right, I see. " Xia Xiaoran looks at the figure outside the window and sighs. How can he go to the city to unveil the imperial list. Looking up at the dark roof of the adobe house, Xia Xiaoran blinked, thinking about it. Suddenly open the door, Zhou Han did not expect to go far, looking at the sudden appearance of Xia Xiaoran stunned“ That one. " Xia Xiaoran said with a smile, "brother Zhou, I'm a little uncomfortable. Can you take me to Wangchun hall in the city?" Relying on Xia Xiaoran's small body, you can't get to the city. On hearing that Xia Xiaoran was ill, Zhou Han's tension immediately appeared on his face. He grabbed Xia Xiaoran's arm and asked eagerly, "what's wrong with Ling Xue?" Frowning to save his arm, Xia Xiaoran said with a clever smile: "I just feel a little chest tightness, want to go to the city to see, brother Zhou is willing to send me" "of course." When the beauty is in trouble, how can he sit back and ignore it? Zhou Han immediately expresses his determination, "don't worry, I will send you to Wangchun hall comfortably." Xia Xiaoran canthus twitch to look at his in front of the cart, just want to slap the Zhou Han beside him“ How about it? It's not bad. Ling Xue goes up quickly, and we can get to the city before noon. " Zhou Han looks at Xia Xiaoran with an inviting face. Xia Xiaoran shook his hands awkwardly, "it's not good. I can't go, and it's too hard for brother Zhou."“ What hard work is not hard, Ling Xue hurry up. " Zhou Han forces Xia Xiaoran to the cart, which is carefully covered with a quilt by Zhou Han. Xia Xiaoran gets on the cart, and Zhou Han covers it with a quilt. Xia Xiaoran quietly pulled up the quilt and completely covered his face. In the creaking wheel sound, Xia Xiaoran awkwardly fell asleep.
