I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 1039 - Chapter 1039 Stimulated

Chapter 1039: Stimulated Chapter 1039: Stimulated Editor: Atlas Studios After the four children borrowed money from Fan Zijin, they pulled a cart of money to the government office to make up for the taxes from the previous year.

As their business had just started the previous year, they didn’t make much money from it.

Hence, this time Tiger Head only had to pull a small cart.

The small box contained the silver that they had just taken from the Fan Residence’s accountant.

The four children valiantly headed to the government office while the commoners along the way kept cheering for them.

However, their excitement only lasted until noon today because no one responded to their call even after they set an example by paying the tax.

Fan Zijin had been asking people to keep an eye on them.

When he saw them enter the restaurant with their heads lowered, although his heart ached, he did not make a decision for them, let alone make a move.

Now, the Imperial Court was already fighting over Liu Yu’s forcing of tax payment and the revision of the merchant tax.

The carefree Haoran immediately dragged several nobles and Grade 2 officials into the water, many of whom were brothers who had risked their lives alongside them.

Therefore, it was best for the children not to cause trouble at this time.

According to the informant, in the middle of the afternoon, the four young masters walked out of the restaurant with their heads held high.

This made Fan Zijin’s heart tighten.

He hurriedly got someone to keep an eye on them, afraid that they would do something.

Later on, when he saw that they were only going home and the next day went out to play with their friends, he heaved a sigh of relief.

The children had finally given up on this matter.

Seeing that the Duke was busy with national affairs and using the national treasury’s debt to him to offset his taxes, Yanmo couldn’t help but say, “If you’re worried, why don’t you ask Her Highness and Madam to pay more attention to the Young Masters?

After all, you can’t keep an eye on them all the time.” Fan Zijin snorted coldly and said, “Can your madam control the naughty boys?

Her Highness?

It’s already good enough that she’s not giving them ideas.

Since they’ve already returned to normal, withdraw our men and only send one person to keep an eye on them.

As long as they’re not causing trouble over the merchant tax, just leave them be.” Yanmo agreed.

Alas, things didn’t go as planned.

Because on the third day, Governor Zhou came to work with a livid expression.

He cupped his hands and said to Fan Zijin, “Magistrate, I thank you for your son’s kindness.

It’s just that my Lin’er has been unwell recently and can’t go out with your son and the young masters of the Prince’s estate anymore.

Please forgive me.” Fan Zijin blinked, and his expression slowly darkened.

Governor Zhou looked at him determinedly, even though he was nervous.

Fan Zijin waved his hand and said, “I understand.” With a twisted expression, Governor Zhou turned around and left.

Fan Zijin looked at Yanmo and said calmly, “Go check out what those brats did this time.” As he spoke, he accidentally snapped the pen in his hand.

Fan Zijin calmly threw the pen aside and picked up another one to continue handling the documents.

Yanmo: “aEUR|” Yanmo hurriedly went away to check.

At this moment, in the navy government office, Qi Haoran was being accosted.

A few generals shouted in a rough voice, “General, you can’t take out your anger on us just because you’re forced to pay taxes.

If you want us to pay taxes, just say the word and we won’t dare to obey.

How can you ask the Young Masters to step forward?” It was really too despicable.

Even though they did not dare to say the last part out loud, their eyes revealed this information.

“Bullsh*t.” Qi Haoran glared at them.

“If you really want to make up for the taxes owed, do you need my orders?

That’s your obligation.

Why should I give the order and owe you a favor?” Qi Haoran also knew that the children must have done something infuriating, but could he admit it?

Definitely not, so this could only be their fault!

Qi Haoran pursed his lips and said, “The Imperial Court has explicitly stipulated that officials can’t do business.

Since you used your servants to do business to avoid this ironclad law, you should abide by the law.

With your actions, it’s almost like you’re announcing to the whole world that you’ve been evading taxes.

How many heads do you have to be chopped off?” However, officials had always done this for hundreds of years.

And now they suddenly changed this rule?

Of course, this could not be said out loud even though everyone had a tacit understanding of this.

Everyone tried to intercede with Qi Haoran, but Qi Haoran tried to reason with and suppress these angry generals.

The generals were so angry that they turned around and walked out.

Seeing Zhou Zhou stand at the side with his head lowered, Qi Haoran glared at him.

“Did you come back from Luzon to be a quail?” Zhou Zhou opened his mouth and said, “Your Highness, please transfer me to Luzon again.

In Guangzhou, I’m caught in the middle.

I know that it’s imperative to make up for the unpaid tax, but my familyaEUR| therefore, you should send me to Luzon.” The corners of Qi Haoran’s mouth twitched.

So what did his sons do to make Zhou Zhou rather feed mosquitoes in Luzon than stay in Guangzhou?

Seeing Fei Bai loitering outside, Qi Haoran waved his hand to get Zhou Zhou to leave.

Fei Bai came in and closed the door, then said, “Master, the four Young Masters brought the young masters of the various officials to walk around the streets and directly entered the shops to investigate the tax problem.

As long as there was a receipt from the government office for the tax money, they would hang a small red flower made of silk cloth in front of the shop.

If there wasn’t, they would earnestly persuade the shop owners to pay the tax.

However, most of the shops that didn’t pay the tax belonged to officials who typically have sons or grandsons who hang out with the four young masters, soaEUR|” Qi Haoran opened his mouth wide and asked dryly, “Does Her Highness know about this?” Fei Bai said sadly, “It was Her Highness who taught them to tie the little red flowersaEUR|” After a moment of silence, Qi Haoran said, “Hurry up and bring them home without Her Highness knowing.” Fei Bai’s tone was even more pained.

“Master, the matter has blown up too much.

Now, all the citizens in the city have gone to watch.

The commoners go in to spend more money on shops that have little red flowers hanging on them.

As for shops that don’t carry the red flower, some indignant people even threw rotten vegetables in.

Now, nearly a quarter of the street shops that the Young Masters haven’t gone in have been closed, but the rest have opened their doors wide and are waiting for the little red flowers of the Young Masters.

If we take the Young Masters away, won’t your memorial advocating for the making up for unpaid taxesaEUR|” become a joke?

So at this moment, they could neither advance nor retreat.

They could only pretend not to see and leave the children be?

Qi Haoran opened his mouth and asked, “Who gave them this lousy idea?” Fei Bai, who had just summoned a secret guard to ask about the details, said sadly, “Master, the Young Masters came up with this idea themselves.” So don’t think of blaming others.

Of course, Fei Bai would still comfort Qi Haoran.

“In my opinion, the Young Masters were also forced.” Three days ago, the four children confidently went to pay taxes and stood in front of the government office, waiting for someone to respond to their call.

However, no one came after waiting for a long time.

They could only enter the restaurant dejectedly and continue to wait.

Then, do you think the four children would just wait for nothing?

That was impossible.

At that time, Qi Wensu said in shock, “They’re too thick-skinned.” The other three nodded in agreement.

Little An encouraged everyone solemnly, “We have to let them realize their mistake.”
