Imperial grain and national taxes seem to be really unpaid, but Li Muyun is a little reluctant to pay the money. What should I do?

Li Muyun looked at Gongsun Lan who was sitting silently, blinking her eyes, and suddenly a flash of inspiration in her mind, and she said to Fang Yi suspiciously: "I said, "Old House, you are fooling me, I'm a 'bastard' now, and I'm still paying a ball tax?"

"Is that so? That means that the matter you promised to flee the people in the past doesn't count? If this is the case, let Sun Liang collect taxes now, and it is probably possible to collect a lot of them back, but your young master's prestige..." Fang Yizhi shrugged as Li Muyun looked like he was.

"This..." Li Muyun, who was originally happy about being a 'bastard', was stunned for a moment. How could he not count this? Sun Liang had no money. Isn't it equivalent to asking him to pay the money?

"So you should think of a solution quickly. As for asking the sect to come over for dinner, you can try this, but I don't promise it will succeed." Fang Yizhi has also learned bad things in Shanyin County during this period and is no longer as simple as before. Seeing Li Muyun's decadent appearance not only without worry, but also a little gloating.

...

After a sleepless night, Li Muyun appeared in front of everyone again in a spirit, called Fatty and Fang Yizhi, took Gongsun Lan, and the four of them jumped down the mountain and whipped them straight to Shuozhou.

Fang Yizhi was very surprised what Li Muyun wanted to do, so he asked him with some confusion, but Li Muyun smiled and did not answer, and only said that when he was Shuozhou, he knew.

There was nothing to say all the way, and the four of them took a whole day to get from Shanyin County to Shuozhou and found a hotel to stay. Early the next morning, Li Muyun took the other three straight to Shuozhou Prefecture City.

...

Qian Botao always felt his eyelids twitching continuously during this period. After his left eye twitching, his right eye twitching, and after his left eye twitching, his two eyes twitching together, which was very upset.

But for some reason today, when he woke up, his eyelids stopped twitching, and then he saw a yamen runner hurried in from outside: "Sir Changshi, Li Muyun is here and said he wants to see you."

Li Muyun and Qian Botao's heart skipped a beat, thinking no wonder his eyelids twitched recently, but they suddenly stopped jumping today. It turns out that this plague god came to the door.

"Sir, look..." The yamen runner saw Qian Botao speechless for a while, and asked carefully.

Qian Botao came to his senses at the reminder of the yamen runners. Thinking of the guy's identity and background, he finally waved his hand to the yamen runners helplessly: "Please come in!"

"No!" The yamen runner responded and retreated. Soon after, Qian Botao saw Li Muyun walking in with three people, and even holding a sword in his hand.

But after thinking about it, Qian Botao stood up at the moment when he saw Li Muyun and greeted him in a low voice: "When will Brother Li come back? Why don't you notify me next time? I can arrange someone to greet you."

For a person who is obviously a teenager older than him but is still calling his brother, a big smile appeared on Li Muyun's face: "You are polite to Qian Changshi, how can Li Hede dare to bother you?"

"Brother Li said this but it's your fault. No matter what, you are also a great hero in our Shuozhou. Without your series of measures, our Shuozhou would not have been able to be promoted to Zhongzhou in such a short time." Qian Botao welcomed Li Muyun into his official office, and sat down, accidentally revealing a piece of news that someone didn't know about.

"Zhongzhou? Upgraded?" Li Muyun didn't expect that he would receive such news during this trip to Shuozhou, and asked in surprise.

"Not it, but now it's just a rumor. I'm afraid the official documents will not be released after the New Year." Qian Botao didn't want to hide them from Li Muyun in this matter. Anyway, he would know about this matter sooner or later, and it would be meaningless to hide them from them.

However, Li Muyun really didn't expect that such a thing would happen. Shuozhou Prefecture was promoted half a square. So wouldn't Shanyin County be too long to have a high water ship, and they want to upgrade together?

Just as he was thinking, Qian Botao asked, "Brother Li, I'm here to look for him this time, but what's wrong?"

"I'm not hiding Qian Changshi, I believe you know that Li caused some trouble in Chang'an some time ago, and the title of Xiaoyao Hou was also deposed by His Majesty the Emperor." After Li Muyun came back to his senses, he sighed, and then said with a little sadness.

This matter is a major event. The Ministry of Personnel will inform the whole country. As an official, Qian Botao naturally cannot not know about it. It is just because of his face that he has not raised it.

Now that Li Muyun took the initiative to mention it, Qian Botao could only smile with awkwardly and said: "I am not talking about you. Brother Li's work is really a bit inappropriate. I think Han Ai is the third rank of the dynasty. You killed this with this knife..."

"Forget it, I won't mention this matter." Li Muyun waved his hand and interrupted Qian Botao. The main purpose of his visit to the city this time was not to discuss whether to kill Han Ai, and how could he continue to grind his teeth here.

Qian Taobo was interrupted by Li Muyun and felt a little embarrassed, but before he could say anything, someone had already slapped the sword in his hand on the table: "Qian Changshi, although Li was denied his title, he unexpectedly got a treasure. I specially brought it to you for appreciation."

Weird, so weird. Seeing Li Muyun slapped the sword on the table, Qian Botao was full of doubts and asked with some uncertainty: "Brother Li is referring to this sword?"

"That's right!" Li Muyun nodded while making a gesture of invitation, indicating that Qian Botao could take it over and take a closer look.

Qian Botao is one of the few people who know Li Muyun's background, otherwise he would not have seen a "fart-man" in such a low manner, but despite this, he was somewhat dissatisfied and thought that Li Muyun was a little too arrogant.

But after thinking about it, the movements in his hands were not slow. At Li Muyun's instructions, Lao Qian reached out and grabbed the sword on the table. He first took the sheath in his hand and looked it over, but found that there seemed to be nothing special about the sword except atmosphericity.

As he pressed the collapse spring on the scabbard, and with a "clang" sound, a small piece of the sword flashing with cold light immediately popped up.

"Good sword!" Although he only saw a small piece of sword body, Qian Botao sincerely exclaimed.

Because the Tang Dynasty's craftsmanship is not so advanced, the cast swords are actually not so good in quality, and there will be no special things after polishing them.

So even if Qian Botao didn't understand the sword, he could immediately react after seeing the sword body's craftsmanship. This sword was not an ordinary item.

"It's better to take Qian Changshi out and take a look. There may be unexpected surprises." Li Muyun said with a wicked smile on his face.

Qian Botao did not know the origin of his sword, so he naturally did not doubt it. Following his words, he pressed the hilt of the sword and pulled out the long sword in his hand.

...

When people are watching something, they actually have a habit, that is, they want to find out the origin of this thing.

The simplest example is to understand ancient times. If you take out a jade watermelon, you can immediately think of Cixi as long as you are an individual; if you get the "Preface to the Lanting Collection", you can immediately think of Wang Xizhi.

So when Qian Botao saw the three gaps on Jian's body, he immediately thought of a person, a person who ruled the entire Tang Empire.

In an instant, Lao Qian was scared and trembled, and suddenly slid directly from the chair to the ground, his lips turned white and shouted: "God, the Sword of the Emperor!"

Your uncle, what kind of plague god did I offend? Qian Botao's heart was ten thousand, not ten thousand, and one million grass mud horses were rushing wildly and roaring.

Who did he provoke whom he was? Li Muyun, that bastard, actually took this kind of thing to watch for himself. Isn't this pretending? Is there anything he can't say, and he has to use this kind of thing to scare himself? Doesn't he know that no matter who holds this thing, it's like I'm here in person?

"Qian Changshi! Qian Changshi!" Just as Qian Botao was frightened and secretly greeted Li Muyun's eighteen generations of ancestors in his stomach, the guy who was greeting him squatted to him and took the sword in his hand back.

"Uh..., Li, Li..." Qian Botao had been wondering what to say, and he didn't know what to call Li Muyun.

"Qian Changshi, have you recognized it?" Li Muyun asked with a smile by putting his sword back into the sheath.

"I recognize it, I recognize it." Qian Botao struggled to sit back on the chair, feeling his legs weak.

"To be honest, Qian Changshi, I actually have no choice. You know, I promised those evading people in the early spring that they only collected half of the taxes. I saw that the tax payment this year was about to be completed, so I came to find you a solution." Li Muyun saw that he had already scared Qian Botao to death, so he told the real purpose of this trip.

However, Lao Qian was now scared by the sword and lost two souls. His mind was full of the four words "like I am here in person". How could he have the intention to help him find a way?

After listening to him, he said without thinking: "You can do whatever you want, listen to yours, listen to yours!"

"Really? I listen to me?" Li Muyun looked at Fang Yizhi with contempt on his face, shrugged and said, "Why not owe to taxes this year? Don't worry, this is all accountable, and I will pay you back sooner or later."

"No problem!" Qian Botao just wants to send this plague god away now, and he doesn't care what he is saying. Even if he asks him for money, he will not refuse, let alone just owe money.

Li Muyun was very satisfied with Lao Qian's attitude, looked at the 'Son of Emperor's Sword' in his hand and said, "That's true, we'll settle this matter so we'll leave first."

"Okay! OK!" Qian Botao agreed quickly, not wanting to look at Li Muyun more at all.

This is so bad. If Li Muyun directly used the "Sword of Emperor" to explain the origin, it would probably not be so scary. The key is that this guy deliberately made bad things and took the sword for others to see. This would be a bit difficult for Lao Qian to accept.

However, Lao Qian's nightmare seemed to be not over yet. Just as Li Muyun and his friends walked to the door, he seemed to remember something again, turned to Qian Botao and said, "By the way, there is another thing. My village will hold a gambling king competition on New Year's Eve. Don't forget to go then!"
