    After bidding farewell to the old man and his family outside Lihuacheng, they hurried forward.  Finally arrived at Ping'an Town, which is more than a hundred miles away from Lihua Town, before noon.

    It was already noon when we came to Ping'an Town.  Lin Suying felt a little hungry, so she discussed with Ye Chen to find a noodle shop that looked cleaner.  Come for lunch and fill your stomach.

    Ye Chen and Lin Suying came to a noodle shop with Mrs. Huang's signboard, put down their burdens and ordered two bowls of Yangchun noodles. Ye Chen was afraid that Lin Suying's eating Yangchun noodles would be monotonous.  Speaking of

    "Suying, just eating noodles is a bit monotonous, let me accompany you to buy some biscuits."

    "Okay, let's go! I just passed by a sesame seed shop and the smell is very fragrant. Let's go there to buy!" Lin Suying happily replied, and then took Ye Chen's hand as if she had just passed by  I ran to the sesame seed shop.

    Lin Suying took Ye Chen to the Xueji Biscuit Shop they passed by when they first arrived.  Inside is a young couple selling biscuits.  The lady proprietress of the biscuit shop had a good-looking face, and she was charming in a red dress.

    The owner of the biscuit shop is a handsome young man.  Dressed in white clothes Shengxue, her appearance is even worse than that of the proprietress.

    "Boss, take two biscuits!" Lin Suying said to the boss.

    "Okay! Ge'er, bring me two biscuits." The boss turned his head and said to the woman in red.

    "Okay! I'll be here right away! Please wait a moment, both of you!" The woman in red, who was called Ge'er by the personable boss, rushed over when she heard the sound, and greeted Ye Chen and Lin Suying enthusiastically.

    The proprietress in red named Ge'er moved very neatly, and in a short while, two hot biscuits were ready.  The proprietress handed the biscuits to the personable boss.

    "It's just that your biscuits cost two dollars in total. They taste delicious, and I'll come back next time." The boss also quickly packed the biscuits, handed them to Ye Chengchen and Lin Suying, and warmly greeted Ye Chen and Lin Suying, and come back next time.

    After buying sesame seed cakes, Ye Chen and Lin Suying went back to Mrs. Huang's signature noodle restaurant where they had ordered two bowls of Yangchun noodles when they came here.  The Yangchun noodles are just ready to be served.

    Probably because of rushing all morning.  Both Lin Suying and Ye Chen were hungry, they finished two bowls of Yangchun noodles hungrily with sesame seed cakes.

    "Boss, pay the bill!" Ye Chen and Lin Suying didn't have a drop of soup left from the Yangchun noodles, and the two of them immediately felt satisfied after a full meal.

    "Okay! It's twenty dollars in total!" The owner of Yangchun Noodle Restaurant, Mrs. Huang, heard Ye Chen call the boss and checked out, and hurried out of the back kitchen. The owner of this Yangchun Noodle Restaurant was only the owner named Mrs. Huang.  No other guys greeted either.

    "Twenty yuan? Why is it so expensive? Two sesame cakes are only two yuan. Why do you have two bowls of Yangchun noodles for twenty yuan?" Yue Sheng and Lin Suying raised their heads when they heard Mrs. Huang's offer.

    Could it be that Ye Chen and Lin Suying entered the Black Heart Noodle Restaurant?  Ye Chen took a good look at Mrs. Huang. She dressed plainly, behaved, and spoke in a simple, honest and honest manner.  Then why such a high price?

    Hearing Ye Chen's question, Mrs. Huang shook her head helplessly.  I wanted to say something, but I didn't say it to Ye Chen.

    "My son, we are also doing it for our livelihood, there is no other way!" Aunt Huang said.

    Seeing Aunt Huang's expression when she spoke, Ye Chen realized that things were not that simple. On the surface, it seemed calm and peaceful, Ping'an Town.  Behind the dark tide surging.

    Seeing Mrs. Huang's appearance, Ye Chen guessed that Mrs. Huang would not say much.  Just as Mrs. Huang said, she put down twenty yuan of Yangchun noodles for her, and gave Lin Suying a wink.

    At this time, Lin Suying and Ye Chen also thought about it in her heart, and Lin Suying also felt that the 20 yuan of Yangchun noodles was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

    Ye Chen and Lin Suying left Mrs. Huang's Yangchun noodle restaurant.  Seeing Ye Chen's pensive look, Lin Suying shook Ye Chen's hand and said.

    "Sister-in-law Huang of this Yangchun noodle restaurant looks very honest, and she shouldn't be the boss who would cheat us. I think this Ping'an Town is not simple, but where should we go to ask?"

    Hearing Lin Suying's analysis, Ye Chen nodded, rubbed Lin Suying's hair, and replied.

    "On the way to buy biscuits just now, I looked around the merchants in Ping'an Town, and I found that only the young man in white and the proprietress in red at Xueji Biscuit Shop are unusual."

    After listening to Ye Chen's analysis, Lin Suying nodded, thinking that what Ye Chen said made sense.

    Ye Chen and Lin Suying came to the Xueji Biscuit Shop where they had just bought sesame seed cakes again. The handsome boss dressed in white saw Ye Chen and Lin Suying coming again.?, and came out.

    "You two think my lady's craftsmanship is good? Would you like two more pancakes?" asked the handsome boss in white Shengxue.

    "No, boss, we came here to ask you why, the biscuits we bought from you just now are at normal prices, and the prices in other shops are twice as expensive as in other towns?" Ye Chen asked, clasping his hands.

    After hearing Ye Chen's words, the personable boss in white Shengxue smiled and did not answer Ye Chen's question directly. Instead, he said to the charming lady in red in the room.

    "Ge'er! Quickly pour a cup of tea for this gentleman and this girl! I want good tea from our family.""

    "Okay!" The lady boss in the red dress, who was as glamorous as fire, replied.

    It didn't take long for the lady boss in the red dress to carry a pot of hot tea and pour it for Ye Chen and Lin Suying.

    "You two are just passing rivers and lakes. Why do you want to check that the prices in Ping'an Town are twice as expensive as those in other ordinary towns? You just come here to rest, so why bother to investigate."

    The personable boss in white Shengxue sipped tea slowly and asked leisurely.

    "Although I was just passing by, a bowl of noodles here is enough to eat several bowls in other towns, and I spent several times more money for no reason. Naturally, I want to ask clearly." Ye Chen replied.

    After hearing Ye Chen's answer, the personable boss in white Shengxue smiled lightly, looked back at his wife, looked at it for a while, and then spoke slowly.

    "The taxes in Ping'an Town have been getting heavier and heavier in recent years. The business of ordinary people can hardly support such a heavy tax. They can only raise prices and increase their own income."

    "So that's it. Thank you, sir. I'll toast you with tea instead of wine." After hearing this, Ye Chen picked up his teacup and thanked him.

    After drinking tea, Ye Chen gave Lin Suying a wink, indicating that she was going to leave, and Lin Suying immediately understood.

    After Ye Chen and Lin Suying left the Xueji Biscuit Shop of the personable owner Shengxue in white, they came to an inn to rest. After putting away the horses, Ye Chen and Lin Suying came to the second office of the shop.

    For the sake of safety, Ye Chen and Lin Suying opened a good wing room.  Although it is a relationship between male and female friends, the lonely man and widow are in the same room, which still makes Lin Suying blush.

    Just entering the room, Lin Suying seemed a little uncomfortable. She is the age of a big girl, but she and Ye Chen have not yet reached the point of discussing marriage. It must be embarrassing to live in the same room like this.

    The atmosphere was slightly awkward. At this time, Ye Chen received a letter from Feige, which roughly stated that the new task of Ye Chen and Lin Suying was to investigate the hidden tax in Ping'an Town.

    After reading the content of Feige's biography, Ye Chen fell into deep thinking. The location of Ping'an Town is very special.  It is between the two major sects of the rivers and lakes, the Nujiao Gang and the Jiangnan Thunder Sect.

    The collection of hidden taxes and the increase of the tax burden year by year must have something to do with these two sects. Either the Nujiao Gang or the Jiangnan Thunder Sect, or the two jointly collect hidden taxes here, and then the tax money  split equally.

    While Ye Chen was meditating hard, Lin Suying quietly walked to Ye Chen's side, stretched out her white and slender hands, and pressed Ye Chen's broad shoulders.

    Lin Suying knew that Ye Chen was hurt by the hidden tax in Ping'an Town at this time, so she gently massaged Ye Chen to relieve the fatigue of the day.  (Remember this website URL: www.hlnovel.com
