    "You damn girl, are you still kidding me?" Although Li Guancha is a subordinate official who is not on the stage, he is also a role that he is accustomed to in the Caijiaxiang area.  How can you let a little girl scold you by name?  Then he waved his hand and ordered fiercely: "What are you doing standing still? Arrest her. If Fang doesn't give you the money, let his daughter pay the bill!"

    Several white servants smiled and tried to surround him.  Qiaoqiao's mother hurriedly protected her daughter and begged.

    stall owner Fang was anxious and wanted to step forward to protect his daughter, but was pulled away by two white servants.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Mr. Lao Jia stood up to block the white servants, and said to Li Guancha: " Jiutian, from the neighborhood, just collect money from the stalls, is this the case?"

    "Old Yutou, please stop minding other people's business." Li Guancha was not nice to Lao Zhang, and said with a black face: "The elder got angry this morning. If you don't collect all the money today, I will be beaten tomorrow!  "

    Although Lao Jia Chang has the character "³¤", he is only the head of ten households and has no power or status.  If the officials respect him, that's fine. If they don't, there's nothing they can do about it.  Seeing that Li Jiutian didn't give him any face, he just stood there, feeling quite embarrassed.

    "You shouldn't charge him the stall tax!" The old man on the side suddenly said coldly: "As a rule, the stall tax is only collected from store owners. I have never heard of it in all my years in Nanjing. It has to be collected from the breakfast stall.  Tax!"

    "Old man Zhao, you are a bastard in the army and you are talking nonsense here! You think you are still the censor of Tianxian!" Li Jiutian rolled his eyes, took out the ticket card of Shangyuan County from his arms and said: "I only listen to the great master.  Yes, he has to pay whatever the big boss says he will accept!"

    "As he spoke, he glanced at the two old men and said teasingly: "If you want to meddle in this business, fine, just hand over the five taels of silver for him, and I'll get out of here right away without saying a word."

    "This" How can two old men who live on porridge all day spare five taels of silver?

    Just when he didn't know what to do, something shiny flew over and hit Li Jiutian.

    Are there any hidden weapons?

    Li Jiutian subconsciously reached out to catch it, only to see it was one ingot of five taels of official silver.

    He followed the trajectory of the flying silver and saw a young man with his back turned to him, holding a bowl and eating porridge slowly.

    "What are you still doing? Get out of here right away"

    I just listened to the young man speaking quietly without even looking at him.

    ¡°The mood of eating porridge is ruined.¡±

    "Hey" Li Jiutian clutched the silver and stared, but seeing that the young man was dressed in a well-tailored brocade robe with a jade sachet hanging from his waist, even if he was sitting in this shabby mess, he could not hide his outstanding temperament.  I don't know which family's young master paid a private visit incognito. How dare he, a junior official, dare to offend him so easily?

    "roll!"

    At this moment, a loud shout rang out in his ears, and the ferocious Gao Wu finally suppressed the words.

    He was highly skilled in martial arts and had killed Japanese pirates as a soldier. He also had a bad temper, which Li Jiutian did not dare to provoke easily.  Seeing that he actually acted as a bodyguard for the young man, he became even more sure that he had offended someone he couldn't afford to offend. After a moment, his face changed and he said with an apologetic smile:

    "Young master, please forgive me. It's really because the Southern Household Department suddenly pressed for the accumulated tax arrears over the years. The eldest master had no choice but to apportion it. We, Lao Li, were not forced to be anxious, nor would we be so indifferent."

    "" Zhao Hao originally wanted to say something to him.  Hearing this, he couldn't help but be speechless. It turned out that it was because of the old man's shortfall.  Now he couldn't feel confident anymore, so he nodded and continued to eat his porridge silently.

    "I won't disturb the young master while he's eating." Li Jiutian hurriedly nodded and bowed, and at the same time asked the white servant to let go of stall owner Fang and left in despair.

    After all the officials left, stall owner Fang and his wife quickly thanked Zhao Hao.

    "You don't need to thank me, this is Fang Wen's salary in advance." Zhao Hao smiled lightly, stood up and smiled at the woman: "Just now, the stall owner has agreed to let your son be a bookboy for my father for three years."

    The woman was slightly startled, and stall owner Fang hurriedly leaned into her ear and whispered softly.  The woman was immediately elated and had no words to express her agreement, and even asked her son to kowtow to Zhao Hao.

    "That's unnecessary, he's not my book boy." Zhao Hao turned sideways, not accepting his courtesy.

    The stall owner Fang and his wife also thanked Mr. Jia and his father-in-law for speaking up.

    "We two old men are just relying on our old age to show off our old age. If people don't buy it, they will have no choice but to be blinded."

    Mr. Zhao also nodded silently. It was obvious that Li Jiutian had just revealed his identity, which made him a little uncomfortable.

    Zhao Hao smiled and saluted him again: "It turns out that my father-in-law is also surnamed Zhao. Maybe we were the same family five hundred years ago."

    "Hehe,"If there are too many Zhaos, they may not be the same family" Mr. Zhao has always been kind to Zhao Hao, but at this time he actually took advantage of Qiao.

    Zhao Hao smiled indifferently.  What he cared more about was Li Guancha's words. This grey-haired, unspectacular father-in-law was actually a censor who had been sent away. He had quite a reputation

    But Mr. Zhao obviously didn¡¯t want to talk about it, so he had no choice but to put it aside for now.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  After giving away the gifts, everyone went home.

    Na Qiaoqiao seemed to be frightened and remained silent, not saying a word from beginning to end.

    ??~~

    When I got home, the furniture carriage had already arrived. There were more than a dozen large pieces of furniture, and three large carriages were pulled.

    Blacksmith Gao is inspecting all the goods there.

    "The paint on your table leg is knocked off"

    "Why is the wood of the bed board different from the bed headboard?"

    "Such a big pimple on the table will explode in a few days. I think you are trying to deceive others, so you should pull it back"

    Although he is a blacksmith, his eyes for making guns are so vicious?  Wherever there are bumps or defects, he can tell at a glance.

    The boss who personally escorted the furniture was blushing at what he said, but he couldn't refute it.  He even took the initiative to refund the buyer two taels of silver as the cost of repairing the furniture by himself.

    This operation made Zhao Hao very satisfied. He did not expect that the old blacksmith still had the potential to be a housekeeper

    ?????????????? When the furniture owner, who was about to burst into tears and said that the deal was a waste, left in dismay, the green bricks for the floor that Zhao Hao purchased arrived again.

    Those green bricks were of high quality and extremely solid, but Blacksmith Gao found no fault with them.  This made Old Man Gao, who was working hard and ready to keep up his efforts, feel quite unhappy.

    The old man stood by the well, instructing the workers to place the piles of floor tiles neatly in the corner.

    Gao Wu was a simple man, and he actually helped lift the bricks.  He was able to move three people's worth of bricks at a time, which made all the workers dumbfounded.

    Zhao Hao was watching from the sidelines at first, but after a while he felt that it was not interesting, so he casually asked Blacksmith Gao: "Old man, where did Mr. Zhao come from? I think he is a bit extraordinary."

    "Hey, the young master really asked the right person. The old man stayed with him in the military camp for several years."

    Blacksmith Gao immediately became interested, and ignored those who moved bricks. He whispered to Zhao Hao: "Actually, he was originally a second-ranked Jinshi. He was a county magistrate and a censor. Later, he offended someone and was dismissed.  The person who was assigned to the army was originally said to be in Longchangyi, Guizhou, but later with help, he was finally transferred to the guard of the government army. "

    "Really the censor?" Zhao Hao got confirmation from Gao Tiejiang, nodded slowly and asked, "Do you know his name?"

    "It seems, it seems, called" Gao Tiejiang thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Jin, right?"

    "Zhao Jin?" Zhao Hao touched his chin and thought for a moment, then patted Blacksmith Gao's thigh and said, "I know who he is!"

    "Who is he?" Blacksmith Gao asked curiously.

    "He is Zhao Jin." Zhao Hao blinked and smiled vaguely.
