Chapter 1128 A Little Thing
Li Qingyu and Lin Jingya came to inquire about the news, so naturally they shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs, but the fact that the two officials are doing something makes people can't stand it, and their teeth ache from hatred!
Li Qingyu thought for a while, and felt that the people in the incident on the other side were ordinary people without high-level warriors. Even if he did it himself, as long as the method was concealed, others would not notice, so he said softly, "I'll handle it!"
After Li Qingyu finished speaking, he was about to cast spells to punish the two officials, but he saw four fast horses galloping towards the farmer and the two officials. He got up and stopped in his tracks for an instant.
Li Qingyu frowned slightly, and did not make a move for the time being, but turned his attention to the four on horseback.All four of them were wearing brown-yellow armor. They were obviously soldiers. The leader was about 40 years old, with a face like a jujube, and a waist knife hanging from his waist.
"Stop! What are you doing?" The officer jumped off his horse and shouted at the two officers.
The two officers did not take the four officers and soldiers seriously. One of them said arrogantly: "The officers are enforcing the law. It's none of your business, so go ahead and do whatever you have to do!"
The officer's eyes were cold, and he suddenly bent down to gently lift the farmer who was still lying on the ground, and asked gently: "Brother, are you okay?"
"No...it's okay, just my heart hurts." The farmer wiped the corner of his mouth and said with a painful face. The kick just now by the official was really heavy.
"Brother, what happened?" The officer pointed to a lot of dried dates that had been rubbed and smashed and covered with sand, and asked, "Are these dates yours?"
"It's mine. This year, the government's taxation has been doubled, and all the extra grain collected has been handed over to the public. Before the New Year, the family has been on the verge of death. These are the dates I picked from the mountains in the autumn, and dried them into dried dates. I wanted to go to the city and sell it in exchange for some food, but until it was almost noon, I didn't sell a single coin. Instead, these two officials came to collect the transaction tax. I had money to pay the tax, and I said I would give them some dates to offset the tax, but they But he said that even if I gave them all my dates, it wouldn’t be enough to pay the tax, so he kicked over my basket and trampled the dates into this shape, alas..." The farmer let out a long sigh, and the seven-foot-tall man burst into tears.
A trace of anger suddenly appeared on the officer's face. He turned around and sneered at the two officers: "Haha, selling all the dates is not enough for your taxes. How do you collect the taxes?"
"Brother, don't think that with the support of your superiors, you dare to do whatever you want in Yunzhong City. The city lord has the final say on how much tax to collect, not your admiral! This mud-legged guy can't pay enough taxes, that's because he The jujubes sold are cheap, so if he raises the price, won’t it be enough for the tax?” An official sent a sneer.
"My lord, no one wants a copper coin or a catty of jujubes, and if the price is raised, no one will buy them!" the farmer said with a bitter face.
"That's your business. We have nothing to do with it, we just collect taxes!" Another official scolded the farmer.
"Bullshit logic, shameless!"
The officer suddenly yelled angrily, and slapped the officer's face with a slap. The officer felt dizzy, dizzy, sweet, and subconsciously spit out, but it was full of blood and contained With two big molars!
"How dare you hit me?!" the official yelled incredulously, covering his cheeks with his hands.
"Damn it, you're the one I'm going to hit! Get out of here right away! Go back and tell your superiors that I'm Wang Dongliang, the commander-in-chief of Hutou Camp! If you don't accept it, come to the barracks to find me!" After the officer finished his sentence, he slapped the officer again. On the other side of the face.
The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, and the hard ones are afraid of being stunned. Just now, the two officials who were aggressive and arrogant, playing with the farmer in front of them, dared not say any more, and immediately ran away, running for more than 30 meters. He stopped, and one of them turned his head and said viciously to the officer, "Your name is Wang Dongliang, right? Not only did you violate discipline and interfere with local law enforcement, but you even beat up officials. We're not going to finish this matter. We're waiting to die..."
This guy wanted to go on talking, but he saw the officer suddenly kicked on the ground, and a dried date flew towards him with a "swish", and hit him on the mouth with a "slap", not only smashing him lips, and knocked out the only remaining front teeth in his mouth!
The official was almost going mad with anger, but he didn't dare to say another word. With the support of his companions, he turned around and ran away again!
It wasn't until the two officials ran away that Wang Dongliang called on three of his subordinates to help the farmer pick up the dates scattered on the ground. The farmer thanked him profusely.
Li Qingyu's heart moved: "This person is upright, so we can make friends, maybe we can get some news about the military camp from him?"
Thinking of this, he immediately whispered to Lin Jingya: "Go, go and help."
So the two of them quickly walked over to help pick up the dates. At the same time, Li Qingyu asked tentatively: "Brother Wang is so generous and so righteous. It's really admirable! If everyone was like Brother Wang, we wouldn't have to live in dire straits." gone."
However, Wang Dongliang didn't give Li Qingyu a good face. He just glanced at him and said coldly: "Brother, you must be cautious when you go out, and don't speak ignorantly. Who is living in dire straits? Who are you dissatisfied with?" I think you are young and ignorant, so I won’t argue with you this time. If you hear you say that again next time, don’t blame me for being rude! "
"Damn it!" Li Qingyu couldn't help but feel pain in his balls. He originally wanted to flatter him, get closer, and get some news, but he didn't expect to slap him on the horse's mouth.
While Wang Dongliang was teaching Li Qingyu, everyone had already picked up all the dried dates scattered on the ground. A soldier handed the basket to the farmer. Wang Dongliang took out twenty copper coins from his body, handed it to the farmer, and said : "Brother, there's no need to sell the dates. The officials are already targeting you. I guess you won't be able to sell them anymore. Take these few copper coins to buy some rice and go home."
The farmer wanted to refuse, but Wang Dongliang had already stuffed the copper plate into his pocket, and then he called out to his subordinates, got on his horse, and galloped away. From the beginning to the end, he never looked at Li Qingyu again.
"Thank you, Mr. Jun! Thank you, Mr. Jun!" The farmer knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the distant figure.
"Brother, stop kowtowing. The military master has run away. Hurry up and listen to his words and buy food. Otherwise, you may be targeted by the officials again, and they may charge taxes on your copper coins." Li Qingyu stretched out his hand to pull the farmer away. up.
The farmer was taken aback, got up, and thanked Li Qingyu and Lin Jingya.
"Brother, do you know Mishui Town? It's about 130 miles away from here. It is said that it is recruiting workers, taking care of food, and there are wages. Brother can go there to make a living." Lin Jingya whispered next to her.
The farmer hesitated, and said, "But I heard that the people there are rebels. If I go to work for the rebels, wouldn't I be a rebel too?"
Li Qingyu was a little speechless, it seems that the government usually pours ecstasy soup on these people, this person can't survive, and he doesn't even want to be a "rebel".
"Then do you think it's better to be a obedient citizen, being bullied all day long, and your wife and children are in danger? Or is it better to be a rebel, who can truly be a human being and survive well?" Li Qingyu said with a faint smile.
Seeing that the farmer was in a daze, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's buy rice first."
The farmer nodded numbly, with the basket in one hand and the pocket containing the copper plates in the other, he staggered away.
