The shopkeeper knew this and stopped complaining, just letting this guy do it too.

*

In Dianhe County, after Jiang Yue and Xue Yan stayed in the inn, they did not stay in the inn for too long. Instead, they were walking around the county, especially in some streets near the county government to see if they could hear anything.

This county is naturally more prosperous than in Yaoshui Town. There are people sitting or standing on the side of the road chatting on the street. There are many things to chat about, but I haven’t heard anything related to heavy taxes.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan continued to walk forward.

Suddenly, the crowd in front was busy dodging on both sides, and then several yamen runners walked out, all carrying knives, red faces, talking and laughing loudly, and then walked into a restaurant.

From this county, I really can't tell how hard the people here are.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both looked up at the plaque in the restaurant, with four big words "Min'an Restaurant" written on it, which was a bit sarcastic.

This restaurant is still very large. After asking about the passers-by nearby, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan knew that this was the largest restaurant in the county.

Judging from the familiar appearance of those yamen runners just now, they obviously often enter this restaurant.

No wonder Tao Zhen suspected that the tax collected from farmers was all put into the pockets of the official and these people.

"Let's go in and take a look. They are yamen runners. If they say anything, there may be something we want to hear." Jiang Yue said to her Xue Yan in a low voice.

"Yes." Xue Yan nodded.

The couple just entered Min'an Restaurant.

The people in Min'an Restaurant are very snobbish. Seeing that they were not well-dressed, they didn't even bother to say hello, and they didn't bother to look at them. However, when Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were dressed in luxurious clothes, they were obviously either rich or noble, and those who were resting at the counter.

The waiter didn't need the shopkeeper to urge him, and immediately came up and asked enthusiastically whether they wanted to eat upstairs, downstairs, or private rooms.

Xue Yan noticed that the yamen runners were invited to a private room on the second floor from the corner of his eyes, and asked, "I see that the private room next to those officials is good. You can sit by the window and see the scenery outside, but I don't know if it's okay.

Empty?"

"It's empty, it's empty." The waiter smiled quickly. "But the young master's wife has never been here before. I have to explain to the young master's wife first. Private rooms are relatively expensive, especially private rooms with a good vision.

, in the private room, they either greet the princes of the county magistrate's family or the princes of the landlords and gentry's family, and they are not short of money."

Xue Yan took out a twenty tael silver ingot.

The little guy suddenly laughed and hurriedly took the money and invited Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to the private room next to the yamen runners upstairs. Then he served good tea and wine and dishes.

, as if they didn't use up all of their twenty taels.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn't say anything either.

It was not until the waiter left the private room and brought the door of the private room from outside. He also went downstairs as he listened to the footsteps, Jiang Yue said in a suppressed voice: "Just just now, the son of the county magistrate's family is not short of money,

Add to what we already know, there is a possibility that this heavy tax is stranger."

"Yes." Xue Yan nodded and breathed out. No matter what, the people were suffering.

They were not hungry, so they would definitely not be able to finish the food on the table, and they didn't plan to drink. Xue Yan just drank the soup on the table first. Seeing that it tasted pretty good, he gave him a Yuebao.

Small bowl.
