San'an went back and told Qin Sanlang the news, and his expression became better. Humph, Zhou Erlang was better off. If he hadn't been unable to get away now, he would have taught him a lesson in person.

Boom, boom, boom!

Boom, boom, boom!

"Open the door quickly, we want to see the magistrate, we want to see the magistrate!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My Lord County Magistrate, you can't just ignore us. We really don't have that much money to pay taxes. Give us a way to survive!"

San'an was stunned when he heard these voices and asked: "Master, are all the folks here?"

When he left, no one came to complain.

Qin Sanlang nodded and ordered: "You go back to the village first, and you will follow Brother An during this period, and be sure to protect him."

As for Xiaoyu, he has brought You An back to protect him. Even if the village is surrounded by villagers, Xiaoyu will be safe and sound.

And it is enough for him to have people like You Ping by his side.

San'an actually didn't want to leave and wanted to stay and help Qin Sanlang, but he knew how important Gu Jinan was. If something happened to him, the Gu family would be in ruins, so he cupped his fists and said, "Yes."

After saying that, the figure quickly disappeared.

…

At the gate of the county government, there were hundreds of villagers kneeling on their knees. I heard that more villagers were pouring into the county seat to ask for an explanation from the county magistrate.

The villagers all came with the elderly and children. Some families even brought coffins and straw mats. Some people even put on mourning clothes and tied them with white cloth...

Luo Wu frowned. The villagers came to see the county magistrate with the hope of death.

He remembered the time in the northwest, when there was a drought and no grain was harvested. In the end, it was difficult to even drink water. The old people in the village and the old people from all over the country also took their children to the county seat to pray.

Magistrate, help me.

He also followed his father, his grandfather and his grandmother. He couldn't walk before he reached the county seat. There was a huge crowd of people. Everyone was so hungry that they were all skin and bones. Many people even fainted due to lack of water.

, even old people and children died on the way to the county town.

However, the county magistrate ordered the city gates to be closed, but they could not even see the county seat, and they did not see the county magistrate at all.

But the third grandfather and the third grandmother did not give up. They said that the county magistrate wanted to have an official reputation and saw so many old people and children coming to ask for help. For the sake of reputation, they would also meet with them and give them a word of approval.

Unfortunately, the magistrate of Gaoshui County, Long'an Prefecture in the northwest is a coward and has no courage to come out to meet the villagers.

Within a few days, they heard the news that the county magistrate had resigned and returned to his hometown with his family... They were so frightened that they resigned and ran away.

After the people in Gaoshui County became desperate, they saw that the county magistrate had all run away, so they began to flee. Then, under the leadership of the village chief, their village began to slowly escape from the famine.

With a bang, Qin Sanlang's palm pressed heavily on Luo Wu's shoulder and said: "Brother Luo Wu."

Luo Wu came to his senses after being photographed, wiped the sweat from his face, looked back at Qin Sanlang and said, "Don't worry, I won't be confused."

The first thing Sanlang did after coming to the county town was not to see Magistrate Zheng, but to come to him and talk to him.

Luo Wu remembered it and assured him that for the sake of his family, he would not be impulsive again.

At that time, Sanlang nodded and said: "Brother Luo Wu said this, I feel relieved... Remember, this is not your fault, it's just that you can't help yourself because of your position. Don't think this is a bad thing,

It should be noted that if we don’t do this, there will always be others who will do it, and when others do it, they may be more brutal. If we do it, we can also protect the villagers."

This is something that can be flexible. They can do business while helping the fellow villagers.

"Qin Baihu, it's Qin Baihu!" When the villagers saw Qin Sanlang, they all gathered around him and cried: "Qin Baihu, you have to go and talk to the county magistrate, you can't ignore us.

Otherwise we will be dead!"

Qin Sanlang was different from Luo Wu. He was a member of the Baihu family and was already an official. Therefore, when the villagers saw him, they came to beg him as if they were Jiang County Lieutenant.

Qin Sanlang's expression changed and he said to everyone: "Fellow fellow villagers, the county magistrate has been busy with tax matters and has no time to see you now. Why don't you go back first and wait a few days for the new bank to open and you can borrow the money?"

Pay the tax in silver."

The news that the county town was going to open a new bank specifically to lend money to farmers to pay taxes, after a day and night of fermentation, has almost spread to everyone.

but……

"Bah! What a new bank, you don't want to eat our profits!" An old man stood up, spat in Qin Sanlang's direction, and said: "We are here today to ask the county magistrate to take back his life.

, I’m not here to borrow money to pay taxes. The war tax is one tael per person, you can imagine it. If you don’t pay it, we won’t pay it until we die!”

The old man is from Shishan Village, Xianggui Town. His family's life is not difficult. They are a wealthy family with 30 acres of dry land, 20 acres of paddy fields, and a grocery store.

The reason why I came to the Yamen to cause trouble was because I wanted to avoid paying taxes.

As soon as Old Man Shi said this, a group of people immediately stood up, pointed at Qin Sanlang and cursed: "Yes, we don't pay, why do you want us to pay so much tax? One tael of silver per person, you might as well just tax us

Kill him!"

Bai Changfu, who lives in Baijia Village on the outskirts of the county, even questioned: "Haha, what is the emperor's order? I think it is the county magistrate's own intention. This extra money will be collected, and the county magistrate can also send a gift."

Pen!"

Then he pointed at Qin Sanlang and the others and said: "And you, you lackeys of the county magistrate, will definitely get a share of the benefits!"

As soon as these people's words came out, the remaining hundreds of villagers were all shocked. They looked at Qin Sanlang and asked: "Qin Baihu, is this true? It's true that the county magistrate wanted to make a fortune and deliberately charged such a high price.

Taxes?”

madness!

These two words came to Qin Sanlang's mind. He glanced at the excited people, then looked away, pointed at Niu Changfu who had just spoken, and Old Man Shi who spoke first, and said: "Catch them both.

One person has ten boards. After beating them, they are tied to the stone pillar at the entrance of the yamen and shown to the public!"

ah?

Old Man Shi and Bai Changfu were shocked. After reacting, they pointed at Qin Sanlang and cursed: "Qin, why do you torture us?!"

Then he shouted to the villagers around him: "Folks, help me, this yamen lackey named Qin is going to use the death penalty on us. He wants to avenge his public and private revenge and silence us!"

But no matter how they shouted, Qin Sanlang remained motionless, staring at them with a cold face. When they shouted cheerfully, he gave them a sneer: "Heh."
Chapter completed!
