In the Gusu County Yamen, the head of the yamen runners, Mr. Zhang Er, brought a group of more than ten yamen runners to the countryside.

Recently, the runners of the county yamen are very busy.

Two months ago, the water bandits of the Giant Whale Gang rebelled and made a big fuss. The water bandits were fierce and not afraid of officials. The yamen runners stayed in the county town and did not dare to go to the countryside to collect taxes. Seeing the end of the year, many remote townships have not yet been collected this year.

The water bandits of the Giant Whale Gang were wiped out in the Battle of Taihu Lake, the water bandits were completely quelled, and Gusu County successfully restored its jurisdiction over remote townships.

The yamen runners finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally dared to go out of the city to collect taxes. By the way, they had a tooth sacrifice in the township and had a lot of food and drink.

The head of the yamen runners, Zhang Erye, received the task of collecting taxes, brought a group of yamen runners to Zhouzhuang Town to collect taxes.

Below the thirteen counties in Wujun, there is a position of the main position of the Li Zheng. A hundred households are one liter, and each liter is one person. Five miles are one village, and one person is one village.

The yamen runners came to the countryside to collect taxes. The towns and ministers of Zhouzhuang Water Town naturally had to be careful to accompany them, and went door to door to collect taxes that had not been paid yet this year.

The yamen runners have always been a mess in the town. They have to try their best to please them so as not to be troubled by the yamen runners.

The township was bent down and served carefully, saying bitterly: "Master Zhang Er, the bandits from Taihu Lake came to Zhouzhuang every day to catch the autumn wind, almost every household was clean. Our villagers had no money in their hands, and this year was really hard to bear! Can you ask the county magistrate to be more tolerant?!"

"You mud legs are really ungrateful! Without us, the yamen runners, shed their blood and sacrificed their lives to fight on the battlefield, can we wipe out the giant whale aid?

Have you calculated how much money the imperial court spent to fight this war?

The scale fee for the Giant Whale Gang Water Bandits has disappeared from now on. How much money has the government saved you Zhouzhuang fishermen! You can’t be grateful, think about some good things?!

Don’t tell me those useless kids, no matter how much you ask for it, it’s useless. You Zhouzhuang Town will have to pay all the taxes you have this year within two days!”

The head of the yamen runner, Zhang Erye glared at the village and broke away and cursed: "Here, you go and prepare to get some fresh ones first, and give me an appetizer to me! Second Master, I am tired of eating white rice and white noodles in the city every day, so I change my taste."

“Yes, yes!”

The township officer nodded and bowed quickly, and ordered someone to bring some fresh hairy crabs to prepare to entertain the yamen runners' yamen, Erye Zhang and the yamen runners.

"You Zhouzhuang people, please deal with these stupid crabs and send beggars?! Feed it to the dogs, and the dogs are not happy to eat them! Give me some filial piety to a few rare silver-spine fish, snowflake stone fish, and a basket of red-tailed shrimps!"

Mr. Zhang glanced at the basket full of hairy crabs, immediately glared and cursed.

"Second Master, these are so rare... Whether you can fight until you are lucky, you don't have them on weekdays."

"If it really doesn't work, then just make some white rice flour."

The town was full of miserableness, "Second Master, this white rice flour is the only way to prepare these good things during the New Year. At this time, the green and yellow seasons are not accepted, and every household has no money to buy them! There are only some ordinary aquatic products."

"Um?"

Mr. Zhang couldn't help but feel dark.

Damn, I can't even scrape out any oil and water.

Didn’t this make him a waste of time?

The more than ten yamen runners behind him were suddenly like wolves and tigers, holding sticks and staring fiercely at Xiang Zheng and Zhong Lizheng.

Xiangzheng suddenly panicked and said quickly: "Second Master, please calm down. I'll go to each household to find it, maybe I can find a little." There was no way, so I could only try to find a little and deal with it.

Only then did Mr. Zhang nodded with satisfaction and was walking by the river with a group of yamen runners.

But I saw dozens of villagers gathered next to an old crow tree fishing boat in front of me, which was extremely lively and festive.

"Which family is doing a wedding?"

Mr. Zhang looked dark and pointed at the front and asked.

The village looked at it and hurriedly said, "That is the fishing boat of the Old Su family. His family has always been poor, and I don't know what kind of happy event it is. Could it be a blind date?!"

"Hmph, it's really a group of troublemakers! You have money to do weddings, but you don't have money to pay taxes? Is this the decoration of my Gusu County Government? This year's boat tax will be put away from his Su family!"

Mr. Zhang couldn't help but snorted coldly, and came with more than a dozen yamen runners flying domineeringly towards the old fishing boats by the river.

The village was sweating profusely and was afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly followed.

...

"Not good! The leader of the yamen runner-run master Zhang Er is here and collecting taxes again!"

Afar, a neighbor's cowherd saw a group of yamen runners coming to the Su family's old fishing boats. He hurriedly squeezed into the lively blind date crowd and said in panic.

Among the crowd, Mr. Su and Mrs. Su were suddenly panicked when they saw the village accompanying a group of yamen runners like wolves and tigers.

"This~, what should I do?"

They thought that they had ten taels of spare money in their hands, so they had to do the anxious marriage of Dalang first. Unexpectedly, the yamen came to collect this year's tax money. If this comes, the money on hand would not be enough to handle the marriage.

The head of the yamen runners, Zhang Erye, was arrogant and domineering, leading the yamen runners to the fishing boats of the crow tree dozens of feet away.

Suddenly, his expression stagnated and his feet were as heavy as lead.

Mr. Zhang was surprised to see a young man in a civilian who looked indifferently, looking indifferently among the lively fishermen.

"Su...Su Shangxian?"

Mr. Zhang was so scared that he trembled and almost didn't feel weak.

The head of the yamen runner once followed the magistrate Wang to witness the Battle of Taihu Lake. He saw the true appearance of Su Daxian in Taihu Lake with his own eyes. His immortal power came to the world and destroyed the Giant Whale Gang in one fell swoop.

This is Su Shangxian’s home?...Oh my god, my mother! Why did you run into this great immortal?

The other yamen runners have not reacted yet.

The head of the yamen runner's troupe, Zhang Erye was pale, and he was so scared that he fell to death that he was eating shit. He rolled and crawled, and ran towards Gusu City, running faster than a rabbit.

The other yamen runners looked confused and didn't understand why the squad leader suddenly ran away in panic. They were confused and hurriedly chased Mr. Zhang.

"Ban, what's wrong with you?"

"Hurry, go to the county town to report to the county master... I, Zhang Ergou, met Su Shangxian in Zhouzhuang, hurry up and report to the master! One hundred thousand is urgent!"

Mr. Zhang was almost breathless, frightened and ecstatic.

The county magistrate is in a hurry to find the whereabouts of the immortal, which is a great achievement.

He was full of ecstasy and ran faster and faster. His legs were like wheels, and his wind was everywhere. More than a dozen yamen runners followed behind and couldn't catch up with him.

...

"What's going on? Didn't Mr. Zhang and his group of yamen runners need to collect taxes? Why did they run away in panic? "

The towns, villages and village women in Zhouzhuang were stunned, and the fishermen were completely confused and confused.

Here, a group of yamen runners had just run away.

But he saw Butcher Zhang and his wife, and the two drove a donkey cart to the old fishing boat of the Su family.

"Oh, Brother Su... No, Uncle Su! My nephew is here to see you. Look at me for so many years, my fellow villagers in the country have never come to visit you. I am really sorry!

Today, Brother Su finally returned to his hometown. Let’s have a big banquet for you to celebrate Brother Su’s return to his hometown!”

Butcher Zhang saw that Su Chen and Su Daddy and Mother Su were there, and quickly shouted with great sincerity.

As he said that, he jumped out of the donkey cart and unloaded two heavy loads.

His son Zhang Tieniu is thin-skinned and dare not meet the relationship between him who was once a fellow brother but now Su Shangxian.

But he, Zhang, butcher, was thick-skinned, and he and Su Chen often met each other every month, helping Su Chen take some silver back to his hometown in Zhouzhuang.

Who is the closest to Su Shangxian in the entire Gusu city? Of course it was him, Butcher Zhang. He really knew where Su Shangxian’s hometown was? Only him, Butcher Zhang.

Who else in this world can know the situation of the Su family better than Zhang Butcher?

Butcher Zhang thought about it for several days and was worried that the relationship was too explicit when he came to the door, but he thought it was a rare opportunity, so he still had to stick with it. Finally, he made up his mind, bought a lot of gifts, and rushed to Zhouzhuang overnight and rushed over.

Among the two heavy burdens, one of them was hundreds of kilograms of pork and water wine.

In the other side of the load, there are all kinds of white rice noodles, buns, steamed buns, stinky tofu, roast duck, roast pork, osmanthus cake, longevity noodles, rice wine, and everything you need to hold a banquet and a wedding.

"Uncle, old aunt! I miss my little nephew so much. Today, I will celebrate Brother Su'er's return home. I'll help you with this banquet!"

When Butcher Zhang saw Daddy Su and Mother Su, his face looked even more touching than his biological parents.

The village in Zhouzhuang and the villagers were all stunned and all confused.

The son of the Butcher Zhang has a certain status in the Yaowang Gang Sword Protection Hall and Zhouzhuang Water Town. Whenever he returns to Zhouzhuang to visit his relatives, he always holds his neck up when walking, and he is always stingy.

What is this? He actually has such a shameless face to please the two elders of the Su family.

Dad Su and Mother Su were also confused. Although his son had only returned home for several years, there was no need to spend so much, so he would hold a special banquet to greet him. They were not familiar with Butcher Zhang to this extent.

Before, they had never seen Butcher Zhang so eager!

"Come on, don't be stunned! Brother Su finally returned home, but it was a grand return home. It needed to be a grand event!

My Butcher Zhang personally organized this home party banquet. Let’s celebrate! Everyone is quicker and do their work. Even if you eat for free and drink for free later!"

Butcher Zhang and his wife didn't care what the villagers thought, so they hurriedly borrowed tables, chairs and benches from the families on the shore of the old fishing boats of the Su family, held a banquet and hosted neighbors.

Su Chen just watched them go to hold this home banquet.

He really couldn't talk about this butcher, after all, he had helped him with silver. It was not a big deal, but it was also a lot of help from him.

He had just returned for less than two hours this morning, and the butcher arrived. The head of the ban rushed to Gusu City again, but the news could not be hidden. Alas, it seems that if you want to be quiet for a while and stay calm with your family, you may not have a chance.

...

An amazing news spread rapidly in Gusu City.
