The person behind the tax case is Zhou Shilang. Xu Pingzhi slaps the coffee table with a slap. He stands up angrily, widens his eyes, opens his mouth to scold his mother, but something seems to be stuck in his throat.

Xu new year looked at his incompetent and furious father. His handsome face was very serious. "Reliable news?"

Xu Qi'an nodded: "one of the principal officials in charge of the tax and banking case, Chu Caiwei of the Tianjian told me."

He repeated Chu Caiwei's words.

Xu Xinnian raised his cup, put it down again, and said, "it seems that what happened today is not accidental, but Zhou Li's deliberate revenge."

Yes, it's worthy of being a scholar who can pass the exam. His brain is very useful.

Xu Qian was a little pleased to know that the conversation would not be in vain.

If it was only Uncle Xu, he would not have proposed the secret talk, which was meaningless.

Because the second uncle was forced to hurry, he would only say: brother, follow me to chop people.

There's no way. After all, he's a vulgar martial arts man. He's good at chopping people, and he's blind in calculating people. His professional fields are different.

Xu Qian said, "what's Erlang's opinion?"

Xu Xinnian glanced at his cousin and frowned. He seemed dissatisfied with the tone of his examination, but he didn't have a good way:

"what should I do? Of course, it's better to start first and then suffer. "

Yes... Xu Qi'an was surprised. It's hard to imagine Xu's decisive words in the new year.

Hearing this, Xu Er Shu, who thinks he is the head of the family and the backbone of the family, thinks he can't be silent and scolds his son:

"put away your ignorant and arrogant ideas, don't say you are just a person, even if you win the first prize, you can't make the housemaid."

As soon as he finished, he was ruthlessly rejected by his nephew: "I think Erlang's idea is right."

Xu Qian continued: "it's not Zhou Li that we offended, but Zhou Xianping, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs. Zhou Li may not dare to retaliate, but what about the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs? "

"We not only ruined his good deeds, but also hurt his own son. As long as we are a man with a lot of anger, we have no reason to bear it. What's more, in the eyes of Zhou Shi Lang, what's the difference between Xu Fu and mole ants? He has no reason to let us go. "

Xu Pingzhi refused: "it's not right. We can't fight with Zhou Shilang. Ningyan, you have met the white clothes of Si Tianjian, and you are a student of Yunlu Academy in the new year. Depending on these two relationships, as long as we keep our peace, no one dares to provoke us. "

Is that true?

Xu Qi'an reminded: "second uncle, you may not know that the white clothes of Si Tian Jian do not interfere in the affairs of the court."

Xu cijiu then said, "I was a student of Yunlu Academy in the tax case? Today, the elder brother can come back because Zhou Li is unreasonable and the means are too low. But if Zhou Shilang takes the lead, he will have another tax and silver case, and let Xu's family copy and chop in a reasonable and legal way, can the sitianjian and Yunlu academy break the prison for us? For us to fight against the great law? "

Xu Pingzhi frowned as he felt that the dignity of the head of the family had been impacted. "However, what should we do to deal with the housekeeper, the first three products..."

I don't know. I'm just a simple passer-by... "Xu Qian turned his eyes to the handsome little brother:

" what do you think of Erlang? "

Xu Xinnian was silent. After a long time, when Xu Pingzhi was almost impatient, he said slowly, "I was thinking about something just now."

"When the tax money was robbed, the emperor was furious. Obviously, he attached great importance to silver. It is reasonable that the prisoners will be severely punished. "

"Those two shriveled calves committed suicide, didn't they?" Xu Pingzhi said.

Looking at his father, Xu Xinnian ignored him and continued: "I can think of two possibilities. One is that there is a backer behind the houseboy. 2: The emperor has some concerns, such as maintaining a delicate balance. "

"The elder brother said that the Ministry of accounts impeached Zhou Shilang for money and grain. Why didn't he impeach another servant or the Secretary of the Ministry of household? "

Xu Qi'an thought: "Zhou Shilang's political enemies are dealing with him?"

Xu Xinnian nodded: "the teacher said that since ancient times, the core of monarchy is always balance. The Emperor didn't move Zhou Shilang, which means that this matter is likely to involve party struggle. "

"What about that?" Xu Er Shu asked subconsciously.

Xu Qi'an touched his chin and thought: "the imperial mental skill may work in ordinary times, but now jingcha is just around the corner. As long as he can grasp the handle of Zhou Shilang, he will be killed. Jingcha is a patriarchal system, and even the emperor can't go his own way. The core of the Dragon slaughtering of Confucianism is the word "ritual system". Therefore, the political enemies of Zhou Shilang will not give up. "

Xu Kwai was surprised. I never thought that the three words of "dragon killing" would pop up in the mouth of the rough brother. Is this the quick brother?

I just watch a lot of costume dramas! Xu Qi said with ease.

Of course, part of the reason is that there is more history of learning.

History books are the essence of human culture. If you study history carefully, you will learn a lot from them.

History books are also the most useless thing, because the only lesson that human beings can learn from history is that they can not learn anything from history.Xu Qian, who likes to read history, originally scoffed at this sentence, but later found that there was a certain truth.

The reason is that when he was studying, his parents and teachers always painstakingly said: you should study hard, study hard, or you will regret it in the future.

No one takes it seriously.

Only after experiencing setbacks and being beaten by the society did he wake up.

Xu Qi'an's cousin, who didn't like reading, once blurted out: you should study hard, or you will regret it in the future.

Then he suddenly froze.

Xu Chin a Yang, with the tone of the examination: "that big brother think how to do."

what make complaints about love? Strong woman's character is not very pleased. I prefer 36D to sell her adorable sister. Xu Hsu an heart Tucao, a facial expression: "

," why did Zhou Shilang create tax silver case? Surely it's not corruption, because corruption can be done at any time. Why should we stand on the cusp of Beijing inspection and quarantine? "

"Unless he is in urgent need of a sum of money to fill the hole, and the reason for filling the hole is to deal with the capital cha." Xu Qi'an gave full play to his logical reasoning ability.

"So?" New year's Day is a challenge.

Therefore, we need to find out the real reason why Zhou Shilang embezzled tax money. We need to solve the case so that Zhou Shilang could not escape and plead guilty to the law. Just as Xu Qian wanted to say this, he suddenly saw Xu Erlang's smiling eyes and didn't say it.

"I see!" Shoot uncle Zhou's saliva, so let's get excited

He was so excited that he felt his brain had finally come to light.

I'm not stupid, either. Uncle Xu thought triumphantly.

Xu new year "ah" A: "my father is that, with your identity as the imperial sword guard hundred households, you can check the Ministry of household servants, you can contact the Ministry of household files?"

Xu Pingzhi's face was stiff for a moment.

Xu Dalang said, "of course not."

Thank you for your visit.

Xu Xinnian, who failed to suppress his cousin intellectually, was dissatisfied and asked, "what do you think you should do?"

Xu Qi'an fingertips light button desktop, "drive tiger swallow wolf, deal with Zhou Shi Lang's main force is not us, what we have to do is crush camel's last straw."

As for what to do, he hasn't figured out yet.

It's not bad..... Xu nodded his approval in the new year and said, "take a step back. We don't have to deal with Zhou Shilang, the famous third class official. We have all kinds of tricks. We can't deal with them now, but people have weaknesses."

As soon as Xu Qi'an's eyes brightened, he clapped high five excitedly: "Zhou Li!"

"Yes, that dandy of Zhou Li is better to deal with than his servant. If the accusation of impeachment is not sufficient, then we will make accusations. Let Zhou Xianping help me to kill the enemy. " Xu Xinnian's eyes flashed a fierce color:

"if jingcha is around the corner, Zhou Xianping, as a father, will be responsible for what his son has done. The emperor is willing to protect once, but not twice. "

Speaking of this, Xu new year frowned: "although this entry point is good, it's just that people are not stupid, and the means of planting blame may not work."

Listening to his son and nephew, Xu Er Shu suddenly found that he, the head of the family, had been pushed to the edge of the secret conversation and could not get in at all.

But with his son's layers of analysis, Xu Er Shu's ideas become clearer and clearer, and he thinks more and more possible. I can't help but be excited to pat the table:

"my son has the capital to leave the old one."

Don't I have the capital for your nephew? Xu Qi'an glanced at the second uncle and took the opportunity to diss Xu Erlang: "Erlang, so you can't escape the stereotype if you say that the scholar's empty talk is harmful to the country."

Xu Erlang drew his lips and said ironically, "please give me advice."

Xu Qi'an is not flustered at all, "I can't give a way to appear, but I can provide a train of thought."

Xu Er Shu says urgently: "say quickly."
