Just as everyone was having a meal, suddenly there was a sharp sound of footsteps outside.
"Who are you? They actually ran to the Yellow River construction site to play wild?" The river workers are now caring for the emperor and Jiang Hexi. If someone comes to make trouble, they will fight them desperately.
"We are the special commissioners of the Minister of Works. I heard that you illegally contracted workers, so I came here to check it out!"
Jiang Hexi secretly prayed in his heart that these people could not be too funny. It would take at least three months to go to Liusha Town to leave. But they just took over this project today, why did someone come to cause trouble so soon? Could it be that
The Minister of Works has always had spies watching, monitoring the every move of the uninvited guests.
As a result, when he saw the group of people holding weapons in their hands, he rushed in directly.
"Come on, take these illegal contractors away." The man who claimed to be a special envoy tied up Jiang Hexi and the emperor and took them away as prepared.
The river workers next to them were at a loss and rushed up desperately, hugging the group of people who claimed to be special envoys.
The envoy threw them away angrily, then smiled and said, "What are you? Don't you want to try our weapons?"
As he said that, he took out a knife and chopped the roll of mat beside him into pieces. Then he said to Jiang Hexi with great might: "Do you want to be like this mat?"
Jiang Hexi suddenly felt like she was suffering a lot of grievance. The leader of the river worker came over with a sorry look and looked at Jiang Hexi and said, "This uncle, there is no way. We like you too, but they have guns on their hands...
”
Jiang Hexi and the emperor looked at Huo Jingchen again and whispered: "You guys do it well, we won't have any trouble."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Hexi and the emperor were pulled away by the man who claimed to be the special envoy.
"Be honest with me. We heard that you are illegal contractors and may be hanged!" The man who claimed to be a special envoy looked at him with a dull look on his face.
"Don't be too arrogant. This contracting worker does not require any procedures at all. Don't think that we have little education, so you can lie to me like this!" The emperor looked at these unreasonable people with righteousness.
"I advise you to be careful. We are not a county government here. Where is the Ministry of Works? But the emperor personally takes care of it. Now the death penalty is sentenced by the emperor, and you have no chance to do it."
Jiang Hexi looked at the emperor and signaled him not to speak, otherwise he would be even more sad if he angered the envoy.
The emperor followed the envoy to a prison that he had never heard of, and there were all well-dressed young men sitting inside.
It seems that they are all scholars. Now Jiang Hexi and the emperor understand that this is not an official prison, but a place where some local tyrants want to suppress those scholars.
"They actually dare to set up a private court, and do they think they are people of Daliang?" The emperor looked at Jiang Hexi angrily and asked, "Tell me, can this be said to me?"
Jiang Hexi whispered to the emperor: "Master, don't be impulsive. I think most of the people here have grievances. Maybe we can use a long line to catch big fish."
The emperor frowned and looked at the cell, sighed helplessly: "I have been in trouble in this life. I used to think that living in an inn was the most pitiful place. I didn't expect there was a more pitiful place. This cell,
It's still a matter of being a death row prisoner who hasn't been there."
Jiang Hexi looked at the emperor's helpless look and smiled and said, "It's okay, the hardship will be over soon."
A scholar wearing colorful clothes next to him smiled and said, "Do you still want to be happy? Wait slowly. I heard that you are illegally contracting workers. This crime is not light. I'm afraid you can't get out for several years."
Jiang Hexi looked at this person and asked, "I think you are like a scholar. Why do you have to fall to this point?"
The person who looked like a scholar next to him frowned and looked at Jiang Hexi and said, "I am also doing business without a license. I am forgiven for being a scholar. I did not pay the IQ tax, but I was locked up."
"The scholar still has to pay IQ tax?" Jiang Hexi said with questions in his eyes: "What kind of tax is IQ tax? Why haven't we heard of it?"
The scholar shook his head helplessly, looked at Jiang Hexi and said, "You don't know, IQ tax does not exist. But, if you haven't paid IQ tax, it will prove that your IQ has not met the requirements.
, Isn’t it a misleading child if I fail to meet the requirements to open a private school? So I was arrested."
Jiang Hexi looked at the emperor and smiled and said, "So that's how it is. What kind of tax is called? But how can you issue this tax invoice?"
The scholar smiled coldly: "Tax tickets? I have been in Liusha Town for so many years, but I have never seen any tickets. Others say that Daliang is a civilized society, but I think our Liusha Town is still in a wilderness era!"
Jiang Hexi looked at the scholar's disheartened look and smiled, "Why do you say that about your own place? What's wrong with the wilderness? The world is peaceful in the wilderness era. You are now oppressed, and we must unite.
Collective resistance!”
As he said that, he looked at the emperor next to him and asked, "Master, do you think so?"
The scholar looked at the emperor's beard and felt that this person had some skills, but he was not flexible enough. He smiled and said, "You should be new, right? Tell you that you have to do well in this cell, and you can't just rely on it."
You have to be able to pay money and pay tribute to others.”
Jiang Hexi looked at the scholar and smiled and said, "Oh? How did you know?"
The scholar lifted his sleeves, revealing the scarred skin inside, and said to Jiang Hexi: "When I came in, I was like you, and I felt very upright in my heart, but later I was called out to serve him for a few days.
After being punished, my feelings are completely different.”
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Hexi with a look of mourning expression.
The emperor suddenly felt a shocking feeling of pain. The ambition of this scholar is so lofty, but after being solved by these ruthless people, his previous ambition to serve the country was wiped out and disappeared.
Isn’t this going to destroy the backbone of a country?
As the king of a country, what does it feel like to see the backbone of your country being broken by others?
Can he be willing?
The emperor suddenly took a deep breath and said to the scholar: "Don't worry, I am a lucky star coming from heaven. I predict that your good days will come soon."
