Unexpectedly, the guard just sneered after hearing this, "This is Prince Chu's Mansion, not a small place like your Taxation Department. Who do you think you are? How can you see the prince just as you want?"
Ye Fu knew that these people did not want to see him, but even though he had been prepared in his heart, he was still very angry at the guard's words. However, he still had to hold back his temper and said, "I have already submitted this to His Highness the King of Chu."
"Thank you"
"Greetings? What is that? I've never seen it before." Before Ye Fu could finish speaking, the guard said nonchalantly.
"You!" No matter how good-tempered Ye Fu is, he can't stand being teased like this by the guards. Besides, his temper is not very good to begin with. After all, after one bullet is fired, anyone who dares to fight with the Meng Yuan cavalry will have a bad temper.
It won't be good.
The guard looked Ye Fu up and down and said with disdain, "Prince Chu's Mansion is not a place you can enter if you want. You should just go back to where you came from!"
Ye Fu was about to get angry, but he suddenly thought of something. He gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, I will go back now. However, it is the Ministry of Husbandry that collects taxes. If the Chu Palace does not pay taxes, I should report it to the Ministry of Husbandry."
Farewell!"
Just when Ye Fu turned around to leave, a sharp voice came from far behind him.
"Master Ye, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Ye Fu turned around and saw a fat man wearing a eunuch's brocade robe and holding a whisk in his hand standing at the gate of the palace.
Ye Fu did not come forward, but stood there and asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"
The eunuch smiled and said nothing. The guard next to Ye Fu quickly stepped forward and said, "Meet Mr. Liu."
Eunuch Liu smiled and waved his hand, signaling the guard to stand aside. Then he walked down the steps step by step, came to Ye Fu, and asked, "Master Ye, do you want to ask to see the prince?"
Ye Fu narrowed his eyes and stared at the eunuch. After a while, he smiled and said, "I have been sending you invitations for a few days, but I don't know why I haven't been summoned by the King of Chu?"
Eunuch Liu said with a non-smiling smile, "Really? That may be due to the negligence of the people below."
Negligence? Ye Fu would not believe this damn reason.
Besides, if it was really the people below the palace who were negligent, then why would you, Eunuch Liu, be standing here? Don’t tell yourself that you, Eunuch Liu, have nothing to do all day long, so you came here to guard the gate, right?
Ye Fu raised his head slightly and said in a calm tone, "Can I ask to see the prince now? After all, the Chu Palace has not paid taxes yet. As a tax collector, I must have an accurate letter before I can be promoted. Father-in-law said
Yes or no?"
Eunuch Liu knew that Ye Fu didn't believe it, but he didn't care and smiled.
He said, "Yes, of course. However, the prince is not in the mansion. Even if Mr. Ye wants to see him, he cannot see him."
"Your Majesty is not here?" Ye Fu was slightly startled and stared at Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu looked straight back without flinching, looking very tough.
Ye Fu looked at Eunuch Liu, and then at the inside of the palace gate. He knew that it was very possible that King Chu's absence was just an excuse, and maybe King Chu was secretly observing him inside.
"Well, even though the prince is not here, as the general manager of the palace, Mr. Liu should have no problem paying the taxes, right?"
Eunuch Liu immediately shook his head like a rattle and sighed, "Master Ye, you really think highly of our family. Our family is just a slave. How can a slave be the master of his master?"
Seeing Eunuch Liu's excuse, Ye Fu was not ready to continue. He said, "In that case, I will go back first. However, there are only three days left before the official will transfer the taxes to the Chief Envoy. I hope
His Royal Highness the King of Chu can come back within these three days. Otherwise, I will have to report it truthfully and wait for the court to make a decision."
When he heard that Ye Fu was going to report to the court, Eunuch Liu's expression suddenly changed.
If this matter reaches the court, it will be the King of Chu who is embarrassed. After all, Zhu Zhen promised happily in front of the emperor, but now he goes against his promise. How does the emperor and other vassal princes view him?
"Master Ye!"
Eunuch Liu had no choice but to speak out and kill Ye Fu.
Call stop.
Ye Fu turned around and looked at Eunuch Liu with a smile on his face, "What do you have to say, father-in-law?"
Eunuch Liu's face no longer looked as confident as before, but instead looked a bit flattering, "Master Ye, why do you have to be so serious? It's just a little tax, why do you need to be at odds with our Prince Chu's Mansion?"
Ye Fu laughed and said, "It's just a little tax? I have seen the yellow book. The Prince of Chu has 30,000 acres of land, and the tax payable is 12,000 guan. This is not a small sum. I don't dare to talk to Chu."
The palace can't get through, but I have the emperor's mandate, so I can only offend. Please forgive me, Eunuch Liu."
"Haha, it's just 12,000 guan. Mr. Ye is in charge of the taxation of the entire Jiangxia. Wouldn't it be very easy to collect 12,000 guan?" Eunuch Liu moved towards Ye Fu.
eyes.
Ye Fu suddenly fell low
He raised his head and said in deep thought, "I don't understand what father-in-law means."
"My lord, do you really not understand?" Eunuch Liu paused for a few breaths. Seeing that Ye Fu really looked puzzled, he could only point out, "My lord, you can collect an extra ten thousand yuan from those mud legs with just a few clicks of your fingers.
Our palace only has twelve thousand guan, which is nothing to adults!"
Ye Fu reacted instantly, stared at Eunuch Liu with narrowed eyes, and asked, "Do you want me to take away the people's wealth and people's wealth?"
"No, no, no, my lord, you are exaggerating. How can this be considered as taking away the people's wealth? At most, this is your lord's tea and wine money, or it is just lost. Don't worry, lord, the prince will definitely say a few good words for you in front of the emperor.
I guarantee that no one will dare to pursue this matter!" Eunuch Liu looked like he could handle Ye Fu easily, not afraid that Ye Fu would jump out of his five-finger mountain.
Ye Fu sneered when he heard this and said, "I must disappoint my father-in-law. I am also the mud-legged person my father-in-law said, and I have no habit of plundering people's wealth. Even you, father-in-law, must be the same mud-legged person as me, right? Why,
Now that we are prosperous, do we look down on our ancestors?"
"You! Ye Fu, you are so courageous!" Eunuch Liu jumped angrily. Ye Fu's words really touched his heart. If he can become an eunuch, his family cannot be well off. As long as there are two people in the family, they will
How could he be willing to let him enter the palace as a eunuch to keep him alive?
Now being mentioned by Ye Fu is like opening his scar again.
Ye Fu said with a smile, "I am not very courageous, I am very young. Therefore, I cannot bear the consequences of not being able to pay the tax in full. After I returned, I had to explain it to the court to avoid being punished by the court. Eunuch Liu
dont you agree?"
"You!" Eunuch Liu pointed at Ye Fu and his fingers were trembling.
Ye Fu didn't care so much and turned around to leave.
When the first guard saw him, he immediately ran a few steps in front of Ye Fu and raised his sword to stop him.
"The steward has not spoken, so no one can leave."
Ye Fu looked at the steel knife in front of him without the slightest fear, and said with a deep smile, "What if I have to leave?"
"Then don't blame me for not recognizing people because of the knife in my hand." The guard stared at Ye Fu with a sinister smile on his face, "I heard that Mr. Ye was once a warrior who fought with the grassland, but Lao Zhu has never seen the grassland.
I really want to see it today."
Ye Fu clasped his hands behind his back, looked at the guard, and said coldly, "Get out of here!"
Not only did the guard have no intention of retreating, but he raised his knife and struck Ye Fu on the head.
He was sure that Ye Fu didn't dare to do anything to him at the door of Prince Chu's palace, but he wanted to kill Ye Fu. Anyway, if something happened, as long as the prince was protecting him, he could at most say that he didn't expect Ye Fu to be so weak.
It can be fooled.
"boom!"
As soon as the guard took a step, a revolver sounded.
The guard suddenly felt that all the strength in his body was disappearing quickly, and the knife in his hand could no longer be held, so it fell to the ground.
Ye Fu smiled gently and said to the guard, "Since you have never fought with the grassland, I will tell you today, don't say a word of nonsense when fighting with me, otherwise you will be the one who dies!"
Blood poured out continuously from the blood hole on the guard's chest. He raised his finger and pointed at Ye Fu, wanting to say something more, but no word came.
When he said this, he fell to the ground dead and could no longer die.
"How brave! Who dares to kill people in front of my palace?" A loud voice came from inside the palace.
Ye Fu looked sideways and saw King Chu, wearing a royal robe, striding over with a gloomy face.
Zhu Zhen came to Ye Fu and glanced at Eunuch Liu. He couldn't even handle such a small thing. This bitch was also a waste.
Looking down at the dead guard, Zhu Zhen said, "You dare to kill even my king's guards. Ye Fu, do you want to rebel?"
Ye Fu cupped his hands and bowed to Zhu Zhen, "I am lowered to the post, Ye Fu, to pay my respects to the King of Chu."
Zhu Zhen's face was as gloomy as ice, and he asked again, "Are you going to rebel?"
Ye Fu did not answer.
The tax collector next to him immediately stood up, bowed and said, "My lord, please calm down. I only have to fight back when I see someone trying to assassinate you."
Zhu Zhen immediately glanced at the tax collector and said dissatisfiedly, "Who do you think you are? Are you qualified to talk to me?"
The taxman opened the revolver's magazine and filled it up. He said with a smile, "Your Majesty, killing someone is just a life. Although a small one is not a thing, the life of a small one is always real, right?"
"In this way, I only brought thirty coins with me today. I used one just now and there are still twenty-nine coins left. Why don't you call twenty-nine people? If they can kill me, then I will count."
I will pay my life to the prince. If I am lucky enough to be able to kill them, I will also pay my life to the prince. Anyway, I can get thirty more people to support me, so it is not a loss! How about it?"
