Looking at the Dragon Crossing the River as he walked away, and then turning his head to look at the Black-Hearted Bear who was still feasting and eating deliciously, Du Mengdong felt not only little joy that the boat was saved, but also a deep helplessness in his heart.

The triangle relationship is the most stable at all times, but he, the third child, is the weakest among the three brothers no matter how you look at it. Most of the time, he has to act as the lubricant between the boss and the second child.

function.

The most fundamental purpose of hosting this meal today is to try to bridge the conflict between the black-hearted bear and the dragon crossing the river.

Now it seems that it has completely had the opposite effect.

And although he had been trying to reconcile with Xini from beginning to end, today the Dragon Crossing the River was embarrassed and frustrated. With his not-so-large tolerance, it was hard to say whether he would also resent him indirectly.

superior.

After all, his power is not great to begin with, and he is as local a snake as Black Heart Bear. Indeed, his relationship with Black Heart Bear is much closer.

He said helplessly: "Brother, why are you today... Hey~, the second brother did something reckless today, but similar things have happened before. It's not like you don't know his temper. Why should you be so tit-for-tat with him?"

Liu Dapao was almost full by now. Hearing Du Mengdong ask this question, he was speechless and didn't know what to say.

Indeed, if it were the black-hearted bear in the past, he would have handled this matter better than him. At least there was no need to get into such a tense situation with the Dragon Crossing the River just because of a life.

But who told him that Liu Dapao was a time traveler? Who told him that Liu Dapao's bottom line was higher than that of the black-hearted bear?

If there was a black-hearted bear sitting at the dinner table today, he would certainly be angry, but the only reason he would be angry is because of the trouble it would bring to him by killing a moderately successful businessman in broad daylight on the street.

On this basis, Liu Dapao will add the weight of a human life itself.

Crossing the River Dragon was doing things in his name, and was also collecting the money from the publican for him. In other words, this life that perished in broad daylight was actually recorded on his head.

It's not that Liu Dapao, whose memory was fused with the Black Heart Bear, cared much about an innocent life, but the killing of this man was really unnecessary in Liu Dapao's opinion.

And if this sign is not suppressed severely, Guojianglong will definitely use his name to kill more people, and the weight of human life in Liu Dapao's heart is far heavier than that of the black-hearted bear.

This is the reason why he suppressed Cross River Dragon like this today.

And he couldn't explain these reasons to Du Mengdong, so he had to change the subject and said lightly that the food was good.

When Du Mengdong saw this, he only thought that Liu Dapao had already made it clear that he wanted to suppress Guo Jianglong, so he just took this opportunity to hit him. He was not powerful enough to persuade him anymore, so he said:

"Second brother is obviously trying to control your army regarding Wangjiacun's account. This account was originally the time when second brother was helping you. Now that he has given up the blame, how are you going to collect it?"

Liu Dapao's expression became more solemn when he heard this. Again, there must be no mistakes in the matter of the public servant's money, and he must not be soft-hearted, making it difficult to collect the subsequent accounts.

And Wangjiacun was originally the hardest among his debts.

Since Guojianglong used Wangjia Village to control his army, he must not use his people, and he must make a good harvest.

"Wangjiacun... Third child, how much do you know about Wangjiacun?"

"I don't know much about it, but their village is really special. It was originally a large village with three thousand households. Last year, when the imperial court fought against Khitan Yunzhou, all the strong men in their village joined the army, but none of them came back.

They all died on the battlefield."

"Since then, only the old, weak, women and children were left in their village, and there were floods last autumn, so they had no choice but to borrow money from the public house from us. The original plan was to wait until the government's pension money came, and use this money

The pension money will be used to pay off our public debt, who knows..."

Liu Dapao then said: "Unexpectedly, the late emperor passed away last year, and I don't know why the pension money was delayed. It was not until last month that the money was distributed, but it was much less than what was originally agreed.

It’s 70%, and I don’t know which link or adult was corrupted.”

"After all, our father-in-law's money has legs and interest. Even if this belated and discounted pension is taken out, it won't be enough to pay off the father-in-law's money, right?

"

Du Mengdong nodded: "Yes, the little pension they have is not enough to repay the principal now, let alone the interest. According to the information I heard, they probably don't plan to repay the money, but that's not necessarily the case.

No, but he is determined not to pay back the debt."

"Brother, in this case, can you use the power of bad people in the yamen to collect this account?"

Hearing this, Liu Dapao shook his head and said: "Impossible. They are called martyr's widows. They use official power to collect debts. If someone is forced to die and the matter becomes too big, even the prefect himself will not be able to explain it to the superiors."

"The soldiers at the front fought bloody battles, and the officials at the rear insulted the widows, young and old. This is easy to say, but not easy to hear. Moreover, the cause and effect involved is too great. Who is deducting this pension, and who are those strong men who died in the battle?

Will the troops he leads be involved in the factional disputes in the court after the death of the late emperor? For a man as smart as Magistrate Yang, he would not even have time to hide from this matter."

"The purpose of catching money is to hold the shit basin for the big shots above. To put it bluntly, I am the urinal of Yangzhou Prefecture. It is used at times like this. If I use my official power at this time, I will splash shit and urine all over the Yangzhou Prefecture.

One body, that is the real way to die."

Du Mengdong heard this and said worriedly: "As far as I know, the villagers in Wangjia Village are all relatives, and the money was borrowed in the name of the collective. Now they are determined to default on the loan and have united into a group. No matter how old they are,

There are thousands of weak, sick and disabled people. Even with sickles and poles, there are fewer people going there. I'm afraid it's a question whether they can beat them. This debt should be collected by the second brother. You and

I'm afraid...this debt is indeed difficult to collect."
