"Can you guys play chess?"

"Can chess be done?" Wang Ning'an asked tentatively. He felt that all the scholars and officials should like to play Go, and some people even worked hard to study the black and white methods, but they didn't expect Bao Heizi to be an exception. Bao Heizi laughed and set up the chessboard, cutting and grabbing one to take the lead.

"Be the first shot!"

Wang Ning'an quickly jumped up the "horse", and the two of them went back and forth, and then started to play. Wang Ning'an's chess skills were not very good, but who knew that Bao Zheng was even more interesting. He played chess forward, killed and slashed, opened and closed, and never gave up until he fought for the last piece.

Faced with Bao Heizi's crazy attack, Wang Ning'an occasionally played a little trick and could hack away a son of Bao, but they actually killed one of them indistinguishable.

Bao Heizi was so excited!

Wang Ning'an smiled bitterly. He was just a pair of bad chess players. I guess Gongsun Ce would not be willing to play chess with him, so he would bully the children!

The two men killed three times in a row, and suddenly a pigeon fell into the yard and flapped his wings. The officer Dong Ping hurried over and hugged him.

"Sir Qibing, outside the Xiaonan Gate, the dynasty is ready!"

Bao Zheng hesitated a little and continued to launch an offensive, Wang Ning'an struggled to deal with it.

"Sir, in the East Gate, Zhongyifang is ready."

"Sir, the Black Dragon Bridge is ready."

"grown ups……"

One after another, when Wang Ning'an and Bao Zheng got to the seventh set, the last place was ready. Bao Zheng raised the "car" high and put it back, and smiled and said, "Save the chessboard, wait until the Cui family is cleaned up, and then finish the game!"

After saying that, Bao Zheng waved his hand and said, "Beat the drum!"

A servant took the order and rushed to the Drum Tower.

Bao Zheng led the rest of the officers to attack the Cui family's mansion together.

There were dozens of steps away from the Cui family, dongdong! The sound of drums that were shaking in the earth sounded, and it was rapid and powerful. Wang Ning'an even felt his blood boiling and couldn't help but want to yell.

"Open the door!"

Dong Ping and Xue Ba desperately knocked on the Cui family's door.

"Come out quickly, or we'll go in!"

After shouting three times, the door finally opened. An old housekeeper walked out of the inside in a panic. When he saw hundreds of servants outside, he was holding a rope and ruler, and was so fierce that he changed his face and color.

"What are you going to do?"

"What are you doing? Your mansion has made a mistake. Come in with me!"

Dong Ping pushed the butler away and rushed in first.

Xue Ba called on others to follow, and Bao Zheng also entered the Cui family's mansion surrounded by him.

"Search for me!"

The officer was about to search for the scattered search, Cui Yu finally arrived late, and he didn't even have time to lock his clothes. When he saw Bao Zheng as fierce as a vicious person, he was also frightened and was surprised. He smiled and said with a smile: "It turns out that Lord Bao arrived, and the young one did not welcome him. Please forgive me."

"Yeah!" Bao Zheng just nodded and continued to let others search, and Cui Yu was angry.

"Old parents, although Cui is a commoner, he is not a face-to-face person. Why do you search my home for no reason?"

"Do you want the reason?" Bao Zheng smiled, "Cui Yu, is your family running a winery business?"

"That's right!" Cui Yu agreed cleanly, "Mr. Bao, the Cui family has always abides by the rules. We paid a deposit of 200 yuan and made the highest bid. We got the right to buy for three years. We paid the alcohol tax to the court every year according to the rules, which was not bad. Master Bao. If we search our family because of this, it would be a bit unreasonable! Wouldn't we give good people a way to live?"

Cui Yu had a red mouth and white teeth, and was righteous and strict. The wine method in the Song Dynasty was very strict. In addition to official monopoly, some remote and profit-making places were used to "buy" the method. To put it bluntly, it was the power to bid for wine vendors. The big players who got the right to "buy" paid taxes and then took the profit and loss at their own expense.

Cui Yu said it right. He did not owe the court money. On the contrary, the taxes paid by his winery each year accounted for almost one-twentieth of Cangzhou's income, and he was a big taxpayer who was indecent.

Cui Yu shouted loudly, and the thugs of the Cui family's slaves rushed out, blocking the many yamen runners. The two sides were tense and were about to break out.

Wang Ning'an blinked, suddenly stood up and smiled and said, "Uncle, my nephew is polite."

"nephew?"

Cui Yu frowned, "Young Master, why haven't I seen you before?"

"Haha, uncle, I am Wang Liangxun's nephew, and Cui is my second uncle." Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "I haven't visited my relatives in recent years. Isn't my uncle accusing the boy of being rude, right?"

When Cui Yu's face changed slightly when he heard Wang Liangxun, he forced a smile, "So that's it. Then you are here to help Lord Bao search my uncle's home?"

"Wrong!" Wang Ning'an suddenly felt heartbroken, "We are here to help my uncle reduce the burden."

"What's the meaning?"

"Uncle, as far as I know, there are five wineries in the city in Zun Mansion, which can produce no less than 500,000 kilograms of soybean wine every year. Each kilogram of wine has to be paid a tax of 15 cents. The annual tax on alcohol alone is 7,500 kilograms. It's so much."

Cui Yu didn't understand the intention and said dryly: "My uncle is indeed a big family and a great career. I never dare to be vague about the responsibilities of the court."

"Yes, my nephew has helped Lord Bao travel all over Cangzhou these days and found that the people of Cangzhou are poor. Most of them use wild fruits from the mountains to make wine. The wine sold in Cangzhou every year is only 200,000 kilograms of wine, and my uncle's family accounts for 80% of it, which is 160,000 kilograms of soybean wine. There is no place to go, and I want to ask my uncle, what is the reason?"

Cui Yu was shocked, and on the surface, he was calm and gentle. "What's wrong with this? My uncle's winery doesn't make wine every day. If he sells less, he will naturally brew less. The wine produced every year is not as much as 500,000 kilograms, which is only 150,000 kilograms."

"Sure!" Wang Ning'an smiled at Bao Zheng, "Sir, I'm right? The court charged my uncle's alcohol tax more, and asked him to relieve the suffering of the people and exempt the extra taxes for his uncle."

"That's natural, but I cannot just listen to Mr. Cui's words. I also asked him to take out the account book of the wine that was consumed and sold over the years. After I approved it, I will definitely make decisions for the people!"

"Okay, I'll thank you for your uncle first. I'll definitely be willing to take it out. If you don't actively reduce taxes, you have any problems with your brain. Is that right?"

Wang Ning'an grinned his white teeth and smiled, looking harmless, but Cui Yu was so angry that the two bad guys sang and squeezed himself into the corner.

He had no choice but to say: "Sir, the Cui family has been doing winemaking business for many years, and the accounts are chaotic and cannot be settled clearly for a while. Please give me a grace for three days. The villain must present the accounts with both hands!"

“Bold!”

Bao Zheng suddenly looked gloomy and shouted angrily: "Cui Yu, the court allows you to sell wine for profit. This is the court's grace. How can you be confused? If the accounts are not clear, the official immediately stopped the Cui family's right to buy it!"

"No!" Wang Ning'an jumped up quickly, "Sir, my uncle works diligently and will definitely not have any problems! How could he cut off his way to make money?"

"What should I do if the accounts are unclear?" Bao Zheng asked

"Then let the adults check it out. I believe my uncle will definitely stand the test. He will definitely not refuse, right, uncle?"

It's you a big-headed ghost!

Cui Yu really wanted to rush up and tore Wang Ning'an's annoying face to pieces. Where did a little bastard appear? How dare you kill my army? You don't want to live anymore!

Cui Yu gritted his teeth, "Mr. Bao, my Cui family is a big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It would be too unkind to insist on searching my home, right? Don't forget that I donated a lot of money for the adults to build academy!"

"Hahaha, Cui Yu, it's okay if you don't mention the academy. It's related to Shi Lin Qingyu, and I can't be vague!" He turned his head, "Listen, search immediately!"

Cui Yu reached out and wanted to stop him. Wang Ning'an winked at Li Gui and Lou Qing. The two big men rushed over and hugged Cui Yu. The servant was about to come up to solve the problem. Wang Ning'an stopped them and shouted at the top of his voice: "Uncle, a bachelor does not fight against power, a hero does not suffer any loss in front of him. You can't arrest and beat the victim. The alcohol tax is a small matter. Beating the injured official is a rebellion. You can't be confused!"

Not only did Wang Ning'an shout at the top of his voice, he also cursed at the Cui family's servants: "You are all blind. Do you want to kill my uncle? Why don't you get out of the way and ask the official to check it out to see what can be found!"

"Little bastard! Don't talk nonsense!" Cui Yu's eyes stood up.

Wang Ning'an was not surprised at all, but comforted him: "Uncle, I know you are furious and confused. What you are saying now is not what you think. If you want to scold me, just scold me. Don't have a conflict with the official and will harm the whole family!"

"I want to kill you!" Cui Yu's eyes were red and he was going crazy. Wang Ning'an kept saying that he was his nephew. It was for his sake that the thugs and servants of the Cui family were confused and did not dare to move. With hesitation, Dong Ping and Xue Ba led the official to rush in.

Cui Yu was so angry that he almost fainted. These idiots, why do I support you? He was like a wild beast, and the veins on his neck jumped up, staring at Wang Ning'an viciously.

"You are worthy of being Cui's nephew, and I will kill you!"

"Hahaha, Cui Yu, it's not certain who died!" Wang Ning'an leaned into Cui Yu's ear and said with a sneer.

Suddenly, the officers who rushed into the backyard screamed. Bao Zheng and Wang Ning'an looked at each other and rushed to the backyard. At this time, five or six burly men rushed out of a house. They had wide shoulders and solid muscles, wearing dog-skin hats on their heads, sheepskin robes, and each holding swords. They were extremely fierce and injured five or six officers in a blink of an eye.

As one of the warriors turned, the hat on his head fell off, revealing its shiny top, and there was a circle of broken hair around him.

"It's Liao Gou!"

Bao Zheng screamed out loud, everyone was shocked. The Cui family actually hid the Liao people and indeed caught a big fish!
