After dealing with Lan Xian'er's master, Zhu Qi and Lan Xian'er were not at all obstructed when they were together.

Lan Xian'er has long been in love with Zhu Qi, so she naturally will not oppose the marriage.

But I still have to go back and ask Zhu Yuanzhang for instructions. After all, I am His Highness, the King of Liao, so I cannot make a decision.

However, there are still some things to deal with before going back. First, the establishment of tariffs. You must wait until it runs smoothly, and then find a local person in charge, and then determine various rules and regulations before you can go back.

In addition, the tariffs must be paid to Yingtianfu once every three months.

This is also to maximize the supervision of taxation.

Taxation is absolutely not a problem. After all, it is related to the problem of the treasury fullness. If you don’t have money, you can’t do anything.

However, Zhu Qi also grasped the general direction of these things, and the specific operations were done by the people under his command.

Zhu Qi had nothing to do these two days, so he still took Lan Xian'er and Bai Tang Yu'er out to travel around the mountains and rivers.

But I don’t know what happened, but Zhu Qi seemed to be unable to stop. After only two days of leisure, another piece of information came from the Jinyiwei.

Daotong, the county magistrate of Panyu County, was beaten and scolded in public by Zhu Liangzu, the garrison of Guangdong and Guangxi, and was seriously injured.

When Zhu Qi heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he remembered who the county magistrate of Panyu County was.

This Panyu County is modern Guangdong, but in the Ming Dynasty, Panyu County was already a relatively developed area of ​​trade.

In the late Ming Dynasty, Guangdong's economic strength was no less than that in the Jiangnan region.

Because of this, commercial and economic activities in Panyu County are quite frequent, and there are many wealthy merchants here.

In the feudal era, capital must have rights to maintain, and those in power will take the initiative to approach rich merchants for their own interests.

This is especially true for feudal dynasties, and Panyu County is naturally no exception.

In Panyu County, there are many powerful and wealthy households in the area who oppress the people and seize fertile land. It can be said that they are doing everything they want.

This man, who is both honest and fearless of violence, often arrests those gangsters and wealthy gentry who do all kinds of evil.

It has a good reputation in Panyu County. You can still see Daotong's temples in Guangzhou. I believe that people in Guangzhou must be very clear about it.

However, this time, Daotong caught a wealthy hooligan, and his identity and background were indeed quite tough.

This rich gangster is the brother-in-law of Zhu Liangzu, the guardian of Guangdong and Guangxi.

When Zhu Liangzu heard that his brother-in-law was arrested by Daotong, he disliked Daotong very much, so he went to Panyu County and asked Daotong to release him.

How could Daotong listen to Zhu Liangzu?

He did not agree at that time, and Zhu Liangzu also had a bad temper. He grabbed Daotong and beat him up.

Zhu Liangzu was a general in the army, while Dao was both a civil servant in the bureaucratic system.

This general beat the imperial court officials, what's wrong?

Logically speaking, if this matter was reported to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Liangzu would definitely be punished.

The key issue is that Zhu Liangzu was too capable and actually suppressed this matter. Even the Guangdong prefect did not dare to talk about it.

And no one in the Guangdong officialdom talked to Daotong. The reason was that Daotong was a Mongolian.

The Ming Dynasty was a dynasty established by the Yuan Dynasty. In the bureaucratic system, there were also many officials from the Yuan Dynasty before.

For example, Zhu Liangzu and Daotong were both officials of the Yuan Dynasty before, and Zhu Liangzu even revolted as a public figure to help the volunteers of the Yuan Dynasty, but they were later incorporated by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Daotong is a serious and professional background, not only that, but also a Mongolian person.

However, although Daotong is a Mongolian, he has been sinicized.

What we learn is Confucian principles and agree with the great righteousness of China for the sake of the people of the world.

Zhu Liangzu's fight with him also caused a lot of sensation. When the bullies saw that the county magistrate who was scared of them on weekdays was beaten by Zhu Liangzu, they had no choice.

Everyone was so happy that they heard that even the county magistrate's office in Panyu County had been disturbed by these bullies.

With the support of Zhu Liangzu, the county magistrates could not do anything to them.

Even the county magistrate Daotong of Panyu County is still lying on the bed and unable to move!

Zhu Qi remembered this history. If the memory had no deviation and history had not changed, Zhu Liangzu would have written a letter to the evil people in Yingtian Prefecture to complain first.

It is nothing more than saying that this man colluded with the Northern Yuan Dynasty as the Mongols and secretly interacted with each other.

With Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in Zhu Liangzu, he would probably believe in this letter of complaint, and in history, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who gave Daotong death.

However, history is different now.

Since Zhu Qi knew about this, it would be impossible for the tragedy of history to repeat. Daotong is a good official, so it will definitely be useful if he stays there.

As for Zhu Liangzu, there was no evidence of guilt that he could catch his fox tail. Now that he has arrived in Guangdong, he has indeed revealed his minions.

If you are so serious about helping a bully beat a civil servant, you must not let him go.

When I go to the place to collect evidence of the crime, there may be evidence of Zhu Liangzu being arrogant or protecting others. Maybe.

Moreover, Zhu Liangzu is also Lan Xian'er's enemy. Whether it is public or private, he has reasons to take Zhu Liangzu down.

Zhu Qi thought about it and immediately decided to get up and go to Panyu County for a private visit.

So, Zhu Qi took part of the Jinyiwei and turned into a businessman convoy and set out towards Guangdong.

……………………

Nanning Prefecture is not very far from Panyu County. Zhu Qi's convoy has just set off for more than a day before he has arrived in Panyu County.

They visited in private, so they naturally would not inform the government office of their itinerary. The Panyu County government did not know that Liao King Zhu Qi had arrived in the territory.

Zhu Qi is already quite familiar with the matter of private visits on a covert basis. Once he arrived in Panyu County, he immediately found a teahouse to sit down and listen to what the people said.

Zhu Qi and his men just sat down in the teahouse, when the waiter who delivered tea and water hurried over, wiped the table and bench with the towel on his arm, and then said to Zhu Qi with a smile:

"This young master is not a local at first glance. I would recommend our Guangdong herbal tea to you?"

Zhu Qi nodded and then said:

"Okay, then you can just serve a few cups of herbal tea!"

The waiter responded, then walked to the backstage to prepare.

Not long after, a large plate of herbal tea came over. In addition to Zhu Qi and Bai Tang Yuer and Lan Xianer sitting on the table, Gao Jin and other guards behind him also had tea.

After the waiter delivered the tea, Zhu Qi stopped him and asked:

"Waiter, wait a moment. We just came here to do business. I want to ask your officials here, is it easy to get along with?"

After Zhu Qi asked, the waiter immediately said in a high spirit:

"It depends on what business you are doing? If it is a legal business, it will definitely be easy to get along with. Our county magistrate said that the good people are good.

But if you do other business, you might be sure. Our county magistrate is the kind of person who can't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes."

Zhu Qi nodded. It seemed that the people here were quite good at Panyu County's magistrate's reputation, and then asked:

"I heard from you that, the county magistrate of Panyu County seems to be quite powerful, but I heard in the village next door that your county magistrate was beaten. Is it true? Does anyone dare to beat the imperial officials?"

The waiter was startled when he heard this, then looked around and then said in a low voice:

"That's right? Our entire county is talking about it. An official who is so good at the county magistrate of Daotong caught a bully for us, but was beaten by the garrison Zhu Liangzu.

You said that Zhu Liangzu is not evil. His brother-in-law is a bully who bullies the good people everywhere. Our county magistrate comes to take care of him and beat him up. Oh, that's true."

When the waiter said this, he seemed to be worried that Zhu Qi would continue to ask questions, so he didn't dare to keep it anymore. He patted the towel on his shoulder, then said, "I'm going to work somewhere else."

It seems that there is no big difference from the situation investigated by the Jinyiwei.

To be honest, if Zhu Qi had not mobilized most of the elite troops of the Jinyiwei to Guangxi, Zhu Liangzu from Guangdong beat Panyu County Magistrate Daotong, this matter would not have been known to the Jinyiwei.

After all, for the Jinyiwei, it is impossible to disperse personnel to every prefecture and county. It is more important to investigate the corruption and crimes of officials, or investigate military information, eradicate intelligence personnel from enemy countries, etc.

But this incident happened to be hit by himself, which can only be said that Zhu Liangzu was not lucky. The next step was to ask the Jinyiwei to collect evidence from all over Panyu County, mainly the testimony of the people.

I must first go and see how the situation is happening there in Panyu County Magistrate Daotong.

Zhu Qi finished drinking tea in the teahouse, put down the money, and then walked towards the government office.

However, just as I walked to the government office, I saw several people standing at the door.

These people did not wear clothes that were bad officials, but instead wore silk and satin.

However, although the material of the clothes is good, it is not particularly exquisite. It just pulled a piece of cloth and made a piece of clothes.

When these people saw it, they knew which rich family was a servant.

When the servants saw Zhu Qi coming, they immediately hugged him, then raised their hands and shouted at Zhu Qi:

"Where did you guys come from? I wonder if our county magistrate's yamen is not allowed to come?"

Gao Jin immediately stood up, protected Zhu Qi, and then frowned and questioned:

"This yamen is the yamen of the court. People can come over if they have any trouble. Why do you stop at this door and say that the yamen is not allowed to come?"

When the servants heard this, they immediately laughed, and then pointed at Gao Jin and scolded him sarcastically:

"You are so eye-opener, don't you know who we are? You don't know anything. When you come to our Panyu County, you really don't want to live."

Gao Jin raised his hand and scolded the man:
