At this time, Mr. Ma had a great improvement in Li Yuanjing's behavior, and there were so many people watching, so he immediately shouted to Hou Wu in a cold voice:
"Hou Wu! Scholar Li's autumn taxes have been paid, where are yours?!"
"this……"
Hou Wu's face turned red, but he couldn't say a word for a moment.
Next to her, Wang Cuihua looked similar. She just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Today I came here to deal with Li Yuanjing, watch Li Yuanjing's jokes, and then trample Li Yuanjing to death.
Who would have thought...
The boat capsized in the gutter, and it was them who were embarrassed...
Xue An's face also looked uncertain, but he said nothing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Hou Wu!"
"You idiot, you're deaf? Why don't you pay your autumn taxes quickly?! Believe it or not, I will lock you in the county prison right now and send you to the Liaodong Conscript Army!"
Seeing that Hou Wu was silent and looked like he couldn't pay the autumn tax, how could Master Ma be polite to him again? While shouting, he also winked at the soap official next to him.
The Zao official immediately understood and had already moved around Hou Wu, as if he was ready to capture Hou Wu at any time.
"Master Ma, I, I'm afraid I won't be able to make friends with you for a while, so please give me a few days of grace..."
Hou Wu's whole body was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and he hurriedly knelt down to Master Ma.
"Ouch!"
But just when everyone was laughing at Hou Wu's joke.
Sudden change!
Hou Wu, who was groveling at first, suddenly got up and punched Mr. Ma hard in the face, knocking him to the ground.
He quickly bypassed the soap official next to him and ran towards the back mountain with his butt sticking out.
While running, he shouted:
"Li Yuanjing, you bastard, sooner or later I will kill your whole family and sell your little lady to a brothel for thousands of people to ride on!!!"
It happened really suddenly.
After Hou Wu ran more than ten steps, everyone realized and hurried to chase him.
But Hou Wu already had the upper hand, how could the villagers behind him catch up?
"Reverse, reverse!"
"Diao Min, how dare you hit me?! Chase me, chase me!!!"
Only then did Mr. Ma get up from the ground, yelling angrily.
Suddenly more people chased Hou Wu.
In the yard.
Li Yuanjing originally wanted to chase Hou Wu, but he gave up the idea after hesitating for a moment.
Hou Wu's physical fitness is still very good. With Li Yuanjing's current physical condition, he may not be able to catch up with him.
Furthermore.
Hou Wu has cut himself off from the people, and Li Yuanjing must handle the more important aftermath!
…
Not long after.
The crowd returned one after another, everyone was cursing and unhappy. Apparently they had not caught Hou Wu.
Li Yuanjing felt calm.
With such intricate terrain like the back mountain, once a person gets into the old forest, how can he possibly catch it?
The old village chief apologized to Mr. Ma in shame:
"Master Ma, I'm so ashamed. How could I have thought that such a bastard would come out of our Quanzi Village..."
Although Master Ma was also unhappy, he still needed the help of the old village chief for many subsequent autumn tax matters, and this was obviously not the old village chief's fault, so he could only say in a low voice:
"Old village chief, don't blame yourself. I'll notify the county immediately and send the police over! This evil thief Hou Wu must be caught and brought to justice!"
Seeing that the heat was almost done, Li Yuanjing raised his hands to Mr. Ma and said:
"Master Ma, it's not difficult to catch Hou Wu. The student has a plan to help Master Ma..."
"Um?"
Mr. Ma raised his eyebrows and quickly looked at Li Yuanjing.
Li Yuanjing quickly approached Mr. Ma and whispered a few words to him in a low voice.
Mr. Ma's eyes suddenly lit up, he pointed directly at Wang Cuihua who was watching the excitement and shouted:
"Catch Hou Wu's accomplice and take him to the county government immediately!"
"yes!"
The officer next to her immediately stepped forward and restrained Wang Cuihua.
Wang Cuihua suddenly screamed in pain:
"It's unjust, sir, the civilian woman is unjustly accused, it's unfair, the civilian woman is not an accomplice of Hou Wu..."
No way.
How could the police officer have any sympathy for Wang Cuihua?
Soon, Wang Cuihua was tied up tightly and her mouth was gagged.
Master Ma now had Wang Cuihua in his hands, which was a great benefit to Li Yuanjing. After all, if Wang Cuihua went in and figured it out, it couldn't be solved with one, two or two or three taels of silver.
Busily smiling, he cupped his hands to Li Yuanjing and said:
"Brother Li, don't be afraid. I have sent people back to the county office to ask for support. We must capture Hou Wu, the evil thief, and we will never let him go unpunished!"
Li Yuanjing hurriedly smiled and said yes, patting the horse repeatedly.
But I secretly thought:
He is afraid of five ghosts!
He was even worried that Hou Wu would not come.
If Hou Wu, a bastard, wants to play dirty, Li Yuanjing will never let him live again!
It is not that Li Yuanjing has never done this kind of thing in later generations, but the method was more obscure.
The only pity today is that that bastard Xue An ran a little fast, and he ran away when the villagers chased Hou Wu.
Otherwise, it would be hilarious to catch him and put him in jail.
…
When Mr. Ma and others went to collect autumn taxes from other houses, the old village chief came to Li Yuanjing and sighed:
"Yuan Jing, you bitch Wang Cuihua, ugh... that's all, it's your young people's world now."
Said.
He patted Li Yuanjing's shoulder heavily:
"Yuan Jing, don't worry, I will be on duty personally these days and will never let that bitch Hou Wu mess around!"
Seeing the old village chief leaving quickly, Li Yuanjing narrowed his eyes slightly, but soon relaxed.
The old village chief obviously also recognized what Li Yuanjing had done against Wang Cuihua.
after all.
Wang Cuihua, an evil matchmaker, doesn't have a good reputation in the village.
If she hadn't provoked Li Yuanjing over and over again, how could Li Yuanjing have messed with her?
But now, there has been such a big battle, how dare Hou Wu come?
Even if he really wanted to take revenge, I'm afraid he would have to wait until this storm has passed, after the autumn tax collection has been completed, and the police officers have withdrawn.
Li Yuanjing immediately stopped thinking about it and went about his business with peace of mind.
After spending a lot of thought and coaxing Yu Niang, Li Yuanjing began to devote himself to making the wolf trap.
By noon, the wolf traps were all ready except for the wooden tips prepared by Zhang Kun and his family.
After Li Yuanjing and Yu Niang had lunch, they no longer stayed at home and followed the villagers to watch the excitement of collecting the autumn tax.
The main thing is that Yu Niang was really frightened by Hou Wu, and she was still very scared. Only when there are many people can she feel safe.
This also made Li Yuanjing secretly make a decision!
We must find an opportunity to quickly get rid of this evil dog Hou Wu!
…
Ordinary people pay autumn taxes, obviously not as appropriately as Li Yuanjing.
You can really get everything.
even……
Some people directly use their young children to pay debts...
What's even scarier is...
Mr. Ma actually accepted the order.
turn out to be……
The policemen have long been cooperating with slave traders.
The smarter and more beautiful little boys and girls can not only pay the autumn tax, but the slave traders can even give these villagers some money.
Li Yuanjing was really amazed by what he saw, and for a moment he didn't know what he was feeling in his heart.
"Hey, second girl, have you heard? It seems that someone was bitten to death by a wolf at Pijiazhuang last night."
"What? It's so scary that this is happening, isn't it? How painful it would be..."
"Who wouldn't tell me? I heard that the unlucky guy in Pijiazhuang had his neck bitten off by a wolf."
Just as Li Yuanjing was sighing and comforting Yu Niang, several women suddenly chattered about wolves biting people, which immediately attracted the attention of many villagers.
Even the misery of selling children and daughters here to get tax deductions has been talked about a lot.
Li Yuanjing's ears also perked up, and he hurriedly pulled Yu Niang closer to the group of people and listened carefully. This chapter has been completed!
