The food in the warehouse is pitifully small.

Gu Xiang was speechless in the face of such a miserable situation and smiled bitterly: "Speaking of this, the autumn harvest has just passed and the grain tax has been collected. Are you all greedy?"

County Magistrate Zhou sneered from his nose: "If I were greedy, I would have reached this point. If we really greedy for these foods, how could we not make up for this shortage? We are not fools, we should be willing to pay for money but life."

"As soon as the grain was collected this year, I was not in the warehouse and asked the boss to take it away. He said he would send it to the west for emergency response first. So he gave a bunch of white notes."

Therefore, they have already collected the grain tax, but the grain has not been stored in the warehouse at all.

County Magistrate Wang's face was also extremely ugly: "It is said that the old husband's Qingquan City has been cut off, and it is difficult for Yanzhou to be convenient. I am also... I am worried that the court will not be able to supply military rations, and if something happens again, I will not stop the grain transport officer from getting the grain away. Alas, I really didn't expect that all the food in the surrounding villages would be fooled by them and deceived us when they came back."

Gu Xiang: "..."

This is the disadvantage of the lack of information in this era.

Gu Xiang said helplessly: "Then I can only think of a way to think of these big gentry and wealthy merchants."

The county town has very little grain storage. Even if she tries her best to save money and refuses to waste wild vegetables or anything, it is not a long-term solution. To feed everyone's belly, it needs some money.

The entire Shouling County, the big grain merchants who are still in the county are still well-off. The Niu family is the Niu family, and the Ling family is surnamed Zhao, which is not easy to deal with.

There is no movement at all at this time.

Magistrate Wang had communicated with them earlier, but he didn't even see his family. The Zhao family said that the head of the family was sick, while the Niu family said that the head of the family had just died of illness and had a beloved concubine. The old man was so sorry that he was heartbroken and he was really not inspiring to meet the guests.

At that time, the bandits besieged the city, and Magistrate Wang really didn't have the energy to get involved with them too much.

Moreover, these two families are both wealthy merchants, and they have many servants to protect the hospital. I heard that they have also housed many experts from the martial arts world at home. Even if they use force, it will be a little bit unworthy.

What's more, it is impossible to use force at present. After all, whether it is the Niu family or the Zhao family, they have not caught the evidence that they violated the law. Why should they use force to coerce?

Lao Gou said that Niu Wulang, the young leader of the Niu family, chatted with his group of friends behind his back, and occasionally said a few words that the county town would be captured by the bandits. He immediately sued the bandits and sold the Wang as the letter of the letter.

But they are just talking privately, can they be convicted directly because of this?

During these days, Magistrate Wang had no time, but Lao Gou and the others had already figured out the details of the wealthy families in the county.

The Niu family’s background is very unclear. The ancestors were from the Green Forest Road. They settled in the county only when they reached their parents.

In order to whitewash, I have done a lot of things like building bridges and paving roads, and my reputation is quite high in Shouling.

However, his old man was very thoughtful. Although he was not doing business on the Green Forest Road, his family housed many gangsters who also did not want to live a life of blood licking from the knife.

Now most of the Niu family's servants are masters of the martial arts world. Even if the army goes forward directly to encircle and suppress them, it may not be difficult to defeat them, but it is definitely not easy to catch them all in one place.

Gu Xiang returned to the inn, but did not let Magistrate Wang and the others go. He arrested the people to work and took out the relevant information of the Niu family and the Zhao family.

After looking at it for a while, Gu Xiang couldn't help but smile and said, "This old man Niu is really smart."

The Imperial City Department has collected all kinds of information from all over the world. Although it is mainly focused on the court, it is also well-versed in the information in the martial arts world.

In the past two years, spies from the Imperial City Department have scrambled to coax Gu Xiang with the files from the Imperial City Department and add materials to her so that the Gu family's wife can write more exciting stories for them to see.

These little spies lurked in every corner over the years, and lived a very lonely life. Usually no one spoke all year round, and they all depended on books collected from all over the place to spend their time.

The books written by the little lady of the Gu family are undoubtedly the best choices.

Especially after getting the files they gave, Gu Xiang wrote various stories closer to the lives of spies like the Imperial City Division, and they had a strong sense of substitution, and all spies liked them very much.

If you didn't see Gu Xiang's new serial one day, you would be in a bad mood all day.

Although Gu Xiang was definitely not the top secret file of the Imperial City Department, she was allowed to use some old files.

There are many cases in these files that were the dominant people on the Green Forest Road when they were young, which made their peers dim. As a result, when they were old, they had to dress up in their grandson everywhere, and were always afraid of being found by their enemies. Moreover, it was difficult for the government to regard them as ordinary people. If something happened, they would definitely find them first. If something was wrong, they would cause trouble.

If you are so cautious and can live your life, you will be extremely lucky, but more often you will not end up in the end.

Gu Xiang had to sigh a few words when he was like the Niu family, who was still not forgetting his business power and firmly holding his trump card.

This family is not a good person, but a smart person.

Because of her childhood experience, Gu Xiang has a deeper understanding of human nature than ordinary students. She feels that the Niu family is not the type of person who cannot deal with at all.

Magistrate Wang smiled and said, "If the Niu family was really vicious, I would have dealt with them long ago. Even if I don't wear this official uniform, I can't give up. How could I allow them to be arrogant until now?"

To put it bluntly, the Niu family has not done any great traitors and evil things over the years. The struggles in the business world are all made of intrigues in the shopping mall.

The Niu family and other wealthy merchants are no different in this regard.

Magistrate Wang didn't like them, but he really didn't like them, but he couldn't catch them. He was still very powerful, so he naturally had a long time, and while fighting, he turned a blind eye and made do with it.

Gu Xiang thought about it, called the old dog over, and whispered: "Start at the Wulang of the Niu family."

The old dog responded quickly.

Magistrate Wang hurriedly said, "Princess, Niu Wulang wanders around the streets all day long, just a lie, and does a lot of things to bully men and women. However, everyone in the county government knows that he is just a broken mouth, shouting and beating and killing. He wants to kill that one today, and kill this tomorrow. In fact, he is just a powerful person on the surface, and he is not as strong as he has to punish him."

Gu Xiang nodded: "I know what's going on in my heart."

She was actually thinking of the little clerk at this moment.

The little clerk provoked Niu Wulang. After being chased and blocked by more than a dozen servants, he panicked and bumped into her and Magistrate Wang.

If she only saw the little clerk being bullied, she would teach the young master of the Niu family a lesson, what would the result be?

It doesn't seem to be going well either.
