Chapter 660 Are You Young Master Zhang of the Demon Sect?
Chapter 660 Are you Master Zhang of the Demon Sect?
The middle-aged man suddenly stood up, raised his badge to show his identity as a government official, pointed at the iron tower and said loudly: "This guy is a green forest thief, we have been hunting him for a long time! Isn't it the king's land in the world? He just said that this is theirs
This is blatant contempt for the current Holy One and contempt for the king's law. It is really treasonous! They have actually reached such a heinous level!"
He looked at the iron tower that had been tied up and glanced around coldly, "We have always hated these bandits and bullies who are running rampant in the countryside and preying on the common people, and we will crack down hard! This time we must eradicate them, uproot them, and eliminate all evil!
"
What he said was sonorous, powerful, and very contagious!
Feng Jiuxiao was somewhat moved by his righteousness!
But what surprised Feng Jiuxiao was that everyone did not look very happy when they heard the news. Instead, their faces became uglier and they seemed more worried.
There were only a few young people who looked like they were from other places and cheered loudly!
"Well done! This is the official parent!"
"It would be great if all officials could be like you!"
Feng Jiuxiao felt something was strange!
The faces of those common people are getting uglier than the last!
The atmosphere is quite weird!
The middle-aged man didn't seem to hear their noise at all, and then said something that Feng Jiuxiao didn't expect!
"Starting from today, this place will be taken over by our county government. As for the taxes, they will be slightly increased on the basis of Mr. An, from the original 5 taels per person per month to 10 taels per month!"
"What?"
"Twelve?"
Some young vendors exploded on the spot!
Feng Jiuxiao's face gradually turned ugly!
Pang Shishi also snorted coldly!
Then some vendors began to protest: "Ten taels? Isn't this life-threatening? Five taels is already half of our monthly income. Do we still have to live if we have to pay ten taels?"
"Master Guan, it's not too much for them selling Shu brocade to give Mr. An five taels. After all, Shu brocade is highly profitable, and those of us who sell tofu pay three hundred taels a month, which is a lot. If you change it to ten taels, we won't be able to survive."
Got it!"
"..."
The middle-aged official was immediately furious, "They're all buzzing, buzzing! They're like flies, what are they barking at?"
His eyes widened with murderous intent, and he glanced around, "I said, one person is worth ten taels, tax is collected based on head, and no one can escape! I don't care what you sell, as long as you occupy the space here and become a
Pay the money! If you don’t make money by selling tofu, why are you still selling tofu? How stupid are you? He makes money by selling Shu brocade, so you also sell Shu brocade?”
He slowly walked up to an old man, with a fierce look on his face, and said viciously: "Why, you just said ten taels was too much? How much did you give Mr. An?"
The old man trembled and said: "Five taels."
The middle-aged official leaned forward, his face almost touching the old man's face, his eyes fixed on the old man. He deliberately got very close to the old man just to put pressure on him!
His voice was low, but chilled to the bones, "You give a rebel five taels, but you are asked to pay a tax of ten taels to the emperor, but you resist and complain endlessly. I want to hear, what are you thinking in your heart?"
When the old man heard it, his soul suddenly flew into heaven!
"I didn't give money to the rebels. They forced me to pay the protection fee. I didn't know they were rebels! They can all testify. If you don't believe me, ask them. Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang, please.
Please prove it."
He looked longingly at Aunt Zhang who was nearest to him, hoping that Aunt Zhang could say something fair.
It's a pity that Aunt Zhang lowered her head and said nothing.
She thought to herself: "Uncle Li, what are you kidding me for asking me to testify for you? I don't know what you think? Do you want to harm me? Don't you know that as soon as I open my mouth, they will kill me?"
"
The old man was startled when he saw that Aunt Zhang didn't speak, but he quickly understood her difficulty. He glanced around again to see who else could prove that he was just forced to pay protection money.
Unexpectedly, after he watched for a long time, not one of the hundreds of vendors who were forced to pay protection fees came forward!
As soon as everyone touched his eyes, they instinctively lowered their heads to avoid his direct gaze.
The old man was a little angry, "Are you all so courageous?"
He was a little sad and angry!
Just when he was extremely disappointed, a middle-aged man in the crowd said: "I can testify that Uncle Li was forced to pay the money by Boss An!"
The middle-aged official glanced at the man and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Li Wu. Why don't you stay at Ciqikou and come here to grab food?"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly and did not answer.
He doesn't seem to be afraid of this official job, but looking at his dusty life, he must be a loner, and he must have had bad luck recently.
Listening to the conversation between the two, it seemed that they had known each other before, but they didn't know what the relationship was.
The middle-aged official smiled softly, "So what if you can testify? So what if he was forced?"
He turned to look at Uncle Li and said sadly: "I just want to ask you, do you have any objections to the tax payment of ten taels?"
His face was ferocious, and his hand had already grasped the handle of the knife!
Murderous aura permeates the air!
Uncle Li's face was full of anxiety. He must have opinions, but what's the use of speaking out? The other party is already about to draw the sword, and if he opens his mouth, the other party will not be able to draw the sword!
But even if he didn't open his mouth, the other party didn't want to let him go!
As the saying goes, "Kill one person to serve as a warning to others." The middle-aged official wanted to kill one person today to establish his authority, but Uncle Li just happened to show up!
He suddenly drew his sword!
The sword flashed and struck at Uncle Li!
Li Bo had closed his eyes a long time ago. He closed his eyes when the other party finished asking him that question.
He could already see the murderous aura in that official's eyes!
He is ready to die!
He just felt that this life was too miserable!
"Stop!" shouted loudly!
The middle-aged officer was startled and hurriedly stopped!
A young man in black walked over.
He stood calmly in front of the middle-aged official, "Do you have a document for tax collection? Who stipulated the twelve taels? If it is stipulated by the current emperor, do you have an imperial edict? If so, I will collect all their tax money."
It's out! If not, you falsely conveyed the imperial edict and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. If I kill you, the emperor will have to reward me heavily! Even if there is a notice from your county magistrate, you will win!"
The middle-aged official suddenly saw a tall young man appearing in front of him. He was babbling in front of him for a long time without any shame. His heart was already filled with anger. He just wanted to raise a knife and scold him for being blind and daring to talk to him like that!
Suddenly, he suddenly saw something strange appearing in the other person's eyes, and he couldn't help but turn pale with horror. In a daze, he didn't dare to look again!
There seemed to be an endless forest in the opponent's eyes, and suddenly a huge tiger with a height of several feet appeared from the forest!
With protruding eyes, sharp teeth and fangs, he is so majestic that he can crush all things!
The middle-aged official hurriedly avoided the other person's eyes, took the opportunity to look at the other person up and down, and found that there were actually two long swords hanging on his waist!
There are not many people in the world who have two swords hanging from their waists. At least so far, he has never heard of anyone with two swords hanging from their waists!
Moreover, this guy has a strong murderous aura, and it seems that his hands have been stained with a lot of human blood. I wonder where this guy comes from. Could he be from the Demon Cult?
However, the relationship between the Demon Sect and the imperial court has always been good, and the relationship with the local officials is also good. Could it be that this guy is from the Rongcheng sect?
But the relationship between the Rongcheng faction and the government is not bad, especially since the master uncle still holds an important position in the Rongcheng faction, they will never rashly interfere in the affairs of the Yamen.
He smiled tentatively, "Where are you from, Shaoxia? Your accent doesn't sound like a local from Yuzhou?"
Pang Shishi said: "I am from Rongcheng. I followed my adoptive father when I was a child and traveled around the country. My accent is a bit mixed."
The middle-aged official asked: "May I ask who your adoptive father is?"
Pang Shishi shook his head and said: "My adoptive father's name is taboo. I won't tell him the name of an ordinary person. Unless he is a master at the top of the Nine Realms!"
When the middle-aged officer heard this, his eyes flashed, "Although I am not at the peak of the Nine Realms, my uncle is!"
Pang Shiwu asked: "Who is your uncle?"
The middle-aged official said proudly: "Rongcheng sent Wu Ma Hall Master Yu Renjie!"
Pang Shishi made a puff, almost collapsed, and finally held it back.
The middle-aged official suddenly noticed that the young man in black had a different look on his face, and thought to himself: He must know Yu Renjie, seeing that he looks weird, could he have suffered a loss at the hands of his uncle?
He chuckled and said, "May I ask your surname, young hero?"
Pang Shishi said: "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Zilu."
The middle-aged official smiled and said: "Master Zhang, do you know my uncle?"
Pang Shiwu smiled and said: "I know you."
The middle-aged official had a smile on his face, but he was always on guard in his heart!
He always felt that he had heard of this "Zhang Zilu" somewhere, and he began to search his memory quickly!
Smiling, the smile on the middle-aged official's face suddenly solidified.
He looked directly at Pang Shiwu, his body full of vitality, full of vigilance, "Are you Master Zhang of the Demon Sect?"
