Chapter 1569 No Matter What, It Is the People Who Suffer

The shopkeeper also knew this, so he stopped complaining, and just let this guy do the work too.

*

In Dianqi County, after Jiang Yue and Xue Yan stayed at the inn, they did not stay in the inn, but wandered around the county, especially in some streets near the county government office, to see if they could hear anything.

This county is naturally more prosperous than Yaoshui Town. There are also people sitting or standing on the side of the street chatting. There are many things chatting, but I haven't heard a single thing related to heavy taxation.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan continued to walk forward.

Suddenly, I saw the crowd in front busy dodging to both sides, and then, several yamen walked out, all with knives on their shoulders, their faces flushed, talking and laughing loudly, and then walked into a restaurant.

From this county, I really can't see how miserable the people here are.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both raised their heads and looked at the plaque of the restaurant. It was written in big characters "Min'an Restaurant", which was somewhat ironic.

The scale of this restaurant is still very large. After inquiring about it from the passers-by, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan knew that this was the largest restaurant in the county.

Judging from the fact that the yamen servants were just familiar with the way, it was obvious that they often went to this restaurant frequently.

No wonder Tao Zhen suspected that all the taxes collected from the peasants went into the pockets of the officials and these people.

"Let's go in and have a look. They are yamen servants. If they say anything, there is probably something we want to hear." Jiang Yue whispered to her family Xue Yan.

"Yeah." Xue Yan nodded.

The husband and wife entered the Min'an Restaurant like this.

People in Min'an Restaurant are very snobbish. They don't say hello when they see bad clothes. They don't even bother to look at them. But Jiang Yue and Xue Yan are dressed in luxurious clothes. They are obviously rich or expensive. Those who are resting by the counter Xiao Er didn't need the shopkeeper's urging, and immediately greeted one of them, and asked them enthusiastically if they wanted to eat upstairs, downstairs, or a private room.

Out of the corner of Xue Yan's eyes, he noticed that the yamen had been invited to a private room on the second floor, and asked, "I think the private room next to those officials is pretty good. You can sit by the window and watch the scenery outside. empty?"

"It's empty, it's empty." The little Er hurriedly smiled. "However, Mrs. Gongzi has never been there before. I have to explain to Mrs. Gongzi first that private rooms are expensive, especially those with a good view. Usually, the private rooms are not used to greet people like the county magistrate's son, or Greeting the sons of landlords and gentry, they are not short of money."

Xue Yan took out a silver ingot of twenty taels.

The young man lost his smile at once, hurriedly took the money, invited Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to the private room next to the yamen upstairs, and then served good tea and good food again. , a look that will not give up until all of them are used up.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn't say anything.

It wasn't until the young man left the private room and closed the door of the private room from the outside, and went downstairs after listening to the footsteps, Jiang Yue just suppressed his voice and said, "Just now he mentioned that the county magistrate's son is not short of money, Add to that what we already know, and it's even more likely that this heavy tax is bizarre."

"Yeah." Xue Yan nodded and let out a breath. No matter what, it is the people who suffer.

They weren't hungry. There were so many dishes on the table that they couldn't finish it, and they didn't plan to drink. Xue Yan just drank the soup on the table first. Seeing that it tasted good, he gave his Yue Bao a gift. small bowl.

Then, he served a small bowl for himself.
