Jiang Tonghai's house is not as perilous as Ye Xing and the others thought.

It's very lively here tonight, and it's decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, making the autumn wind sway.

After Ye Xing and others walked into Jiang Tonghai's house, Jiang Tonghai, Tong Sanqian and Yan Zhenqing hurriedly walked out to greet them. They looked very attentive and certainly did not look like they were plotting.

But even so, they didn't dare to slack off at all.

"Master Ye, it's really a blessing to be here!" Jiang Tonghai said with a smile after coming up to greet him.

Ye Xing just smiled faintly: "You're welcome, we are here to ask you for money, how can we not come?"

Jiang Tonghai's expression paused for a moment, but then he immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Master Ye and the others please come in. General Mei will be here soon."

It turned out that they really had a purpose today.

But even so, Ye Xing and the others were not afraid. They just wanted to see what kind of person this Mei Desue was.

There are neat small tables in the hall, and there is a slightly larger one in the middle, presumably for Mei Desue. After Ye Xing and the others sat down in order, he did not wait for Mei Desue to arrive. He directly asked Jiang Tonghai, Tong Sanqian and Yan Zhenqing: "The three of you promised to pay all the taxes you owe within three days. Today is the last day of the three-day period. I don't know what you think." ?”

Ye Xing understood very well that if he wanted to subdue Jiang Tonghai and the others as quickly as possible and make them pay taxes obediently, he had to take action before Mei Desue arrived.

Ye Xing's prediction was indeed good. As soon as he raised this question, Jiang Tonghai and others delayed in every possible way, as if they were waiting for someone to come. However, Ye Xing was not someone to be trifled with. When he saw Jiang Tonghai and others acting like this, he became very angry. He said angrily: "If you don't want to solve it through peaceful means, then I will have to use the court's method."

Ye Xing made it clear that the court's method was to confiscate homes.

Jiang Tonghai stroked his already somewhat round belly and said with a smile: "Master Ye, we didn't say we wouldn't pay. Please rest assured. After this meal, we will pay the taxes immediately."

Although Jiang Tonghai said this, his face was already covered with sweat, and his words were obviously perfunctory.

Just when Ye Xing was about to say something more certain, a man quickly ran over and shouted: "General Mei is here!"

Everyone was shocked that Mei Desue finally came.

But Ye Xing just smiled faintly. He wanted to see who General Mei Desue was and how capable he was.

Just when Ye Xing was thinking about it, a person walked in surrounded by people. The person was not very tall, but he gave people a tall feeling. The person had no hair on his head and was bald. Moreover, his eyes are small and his nose is somewhat sunken.

Such a person was not handsome and majestic, but the fact that he walked in slowly made people dare not look down upon him.

That person was Mei Dexue. After he came in, he only smiled at everyone, and then went straight to the seat prepared for him by Jiang Tonghai.

After Mei Desue sat down, he motioned for everyone to sit down. Ye Xing did not want to be manipulated by him, but when Mei Desue waved for everyone to sit down, he couldn't help but sit down, as if he was confused.

After everyone sat down, Mei Desue raised a glass of wine, then looked at Ye Xing and said, "I heard that Mr. Ye is traveling all over the world and is very famous. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation."

Ye Xing smiled faintly, is there any connection between these two things?

Ye Xing cupped his hands: "General Mei, you're welcome. I'm just a nobody. I'm not as famous as General Mei."

There was already a pun in this sentence, but Mei Desue didn't seem to hear it, and just smiled lightly: "Master Ye is really polite, but I don't know why Master Ye has traveled all over the world, why he stayed in such a small place today. What about Wuming County?”

When Hua Zhimeng saw Mei Dexue asking this question, he couldn't help but said: "It's not because there are a few moths here that make this nameless county so smoky."

Mei Desue's eyes flashed and she said: "This must be Mr. Ye's confidante, Miss Hua Zhimeng. It's better to be famous than to meet her. It's really amazing."

There was nothing vulgar about what Mei Desue said, but Hua Zhimeng sounded uncomfortable. She wanted to stand up and argue with Mei Desue. At this time, Ye Xing suddenly pulled her back, and then smiled at Mei Desue: "General Mei's question is a good one. If Jiang Tonghai and others can pay the outstanding taxes, everything in Wuming County will be on track, and I will naturally take people away."

At this time, Jiang Tonghai suddenly stood up and said: "General Mei, please don't listen to their nonsense. When did we owe ghost taxes? We are all innocent people, how dare we owe taxes!"

After Jiang Tonghai finished speaking, Tong Sanqian and Yan Zhenqing hurriedly knelt down and echoed. They completely lost their previous caution and attentiveness. It was as if they had suddenly changed.

When Huo Qing saw this, he was so angry that he actually cursed: "Okay, you three can change your face faster than turning the page in a book. You are so shameless. You are really perfunctory with us..." Huo Qing cursed. So awesome, I almost want to disregard the face of my own county magistrate.

Ye Xing had already thought of this. Once Jiang Tonghai and the others came to have their backers, they would still be afraid of Ye Xing and the others. But even if Mei Dexue came, would Ye Xing be willing to let it go?

Ye Xing stopped Huo Qing, then looked at Mei Desue coldly: "Will General Mei intervene in this matter?"

Mei Dexue smiled faintly: "It's not that I want to interfere, the main reason is that the three of them have already contributed their money to me as military salary. Where do they still have money to pay taxes?"

This situation was something that Ye Xing and others did not expect. They did not expect that Jiang Tonghai and others would give their tax evasion money to Mei Desue to train troops. However, the army has the establishment of the imperial court. How could Mei Desue dare to train troops in this place? ?

"Can General Mei get permission from the emperor to train troops?" Ye Xing continued to ask coldly.

Mei Desue suddenly put away her smile at this time and said coldly: "Why do I need the emperor's approval for my military training?"

This sentence shocked everyone. All the soldiers and horses in the world belong to the emperor, but Mei Desue dared to say such words. Could it be that he wanted to rebel?

Wuming County is a very remote place. It is estimated that even the emperor cannot know that there is such a place. Now someone is actually training soldiers here secretly. Their purpose is probably impure.

It's just that there is insufficient evidence now. How dare Ye Xing and the others say anything casually? What's more, Mei Desue has military power, so they can't offend this person yet.
