"Rogue bandits?"
The deputy commander-in-chief's legitimate son's name is Zuo Feng. In his two hundred years of life, he has never heard anyone dare to call him a bandit.
Just as he was about to get angry, he suddenly saw that the clothes on his two followers were in tatters. It turned out that everyone was in a hurry, flying in the air and sprinting in the woods.
Their clothes had long been torn by thorns and thorns, and they hadn't showered or slept in more than ten days. The image of the thousands of people was indeed a bit unruly.
Zuo Feng smiled and cursed at the two followers:
"Everyone should go take a shower and change into clean clothes later. We are the young master's people now and we cannot embarrass the young master.
Look at your appearance, you are all regarded as beggars! "
"His dog eyes are blind! Can a beggar be as strong as us?"
The two followers cursed loudly and took off their tattered clothes, revealing their tendons. If it weren't for the flesh and blood of Dun Dun, would it be possible to have such a body shape?
He asked the saber officer on the other side of the river:
"Looking at your looks, you are a man who has seen the world. Can't you even tell me who I am?"
"A group of gangsters, who make a living by stealing all day long, dare to act arrogant in front of the officials, taking advantage of the crowd, right? Believe it or not, set off a firework and call two thousand government officials to come and arrest you They chop off their hands and feet and throw them into the river to feed the fish?
He has hands, feet, and muscles all over his body. He actually does something as shameless as stealing, and he dares to show off his muscles in front of the official. I'll let you know later whether it's your muscles that are stronger, or my blade! "
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
If you pay taxes on food, you are a good person
!
Like some bandits who not only refuse to pay food, but also steal like rats. They are bad guys who are killed when everyone shouts to beat them and draw their swords! "
The river is only a few dozen meters wide. Once the boat turns around and faces the opposite direction, it will take a few minutes to reach the other side.
The bow of the boat saw off more than a dozen government officials and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, the government officials stopped him again and said in a strange and sinister manner:
"Didn't you hear what I just said? The bandits will kill everyone on sight. You don't dare to attack the bad guys. Do you want to join them?"
"My lord, have mercy on me! I'm just a common man trying to make a living on a boat. I can't even kill fish or ducks. How dare I kill anyone!"
When the bowman heard that he was being asked to pick up a knife and kill people, his head shook like a rattle.
"Why, you don't dare to take action, does that prove that you are with them?"
The officer's eyes widened and he threatened. The boatman was so panicked that he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy. The wooden boat made a clanging sound, and soon there was a big bump on his forehead.
Zuo Feng couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and said to a dozen government officials:
"Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. If you want to deal with us, just attack us. How can you bully an old man rowing a boat?"
"Hoho! Another nosy guy comes out. If you can, stop him and I'll let him go."
The officer said with a sneer. Upon hearing this, the boatman kowtowed louder and louder, and soon he started bleeding.
"Captain, what nonsense are you talking to this kind of gangster? He can be killed with just one slap. What did the young master order? Kill when you need to, and hit when you need to. Even a mere government servant dares to show his killing power in front of us. I think he is Tired of living!"
The two followers couldn't stand it any longer. As soon as they finished speaking, they opened their bows from left and right and slapped them. The left and right cheeks of the Yamen servant were shattered, and the whole face was bloody and bloody. He died immediately.
"Throw him into the river to feed the fish. After making noise for a long time, I have long wanted to send him into the water."
Two followers slapped a Grandmaster-level yamen team leader to death. The other ten yamen servants panicked and quickly took out their long knives, guarded them in front of them, and stammered:
"Who are you, and why do you want to kill our captain?"
"I'll count to three. If anyone doesn't throw the knife into the river, I'll make him the same as the captain in the river!"
Zuo Feng said coldly.
The yamen servants looked at each other, looked at each other, and then looked at the squad leader whose cheek was shattered by their slap. Without saying anything, they immediately threw down the long knife. Unfortunately, they threw it on the corpse of the squad leader in a panic. , inserted diagonally here and there.
The officials looked up and were startled. When they looked back at a group of shirtless men, they cursed:
"You bully even an old man in his fifties and sixties, and you deserve to die!"
"Shut up, everyone!"
Zuo Feng shouted coldly and immediately saw the sign erected in the middle of the rice field. He looked at the four big characters on it and asked:
"What's that word?"
"The official field of the imperial court."
A thin monkey with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks rushed to answer. He thought that these rough guys were illiterate, so he read them right away.
"I remember, don't the fertile fields along both sides of the river belong to the Demon Hunter Guards? When did it become official farmland for the imperial court?"
Zuo Feng knew that every time the Demon Hunting Guard conquered a mountain range, they would reserve the most fertile land along the river for themselves so that they could reward meritorious officials for their military exploits in the future.
This piece of fertile farmland stretches along the river for dozens of miles and at least hundreds of thousands of acres. No commander with any foresight would give this land to the imperial court as official land.
There are only two places for all this fertile land along the river, either to be rewarded to meritorious officials, or to be in the hands of the Demon Hunting Guards.
According to the usual style of the Demon Hunting Guard, if there is no fertile land set aside, they would rather stay there to raise birds than allow others to cultivate it.
There are hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile farmland along the river, with undulating rice fields, which proves that it has been occupied by the imperial court.
.
"I'm worried about where to start.
This little Cangbei County government office actually dares to commit crimes and directly occupy the fertile farmland used by the Demon Hunter Guards to reward meritorious officials, then I won't be polite! "
Zuo Feng secretly said happily.
"The Demon Hunting Guards belong to the Xuanyuan Imperial Family, and the imperial court also belongs to the Xuanyuan Imperial Family. Since they are both members of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family, how can we differentiate between them?"
Shouhou said with a smile, "The Xuanyuan Royal Family has many masters. No matter how strong the monk is, he will usually take a detour when he hears the name of the Xuanyuan Royal Family." This group of people are big and powerful, and I am afraid they are also masters of physical cultivation. The name of the imperial court cannot scare these monks, but the Xuanyuan royal family is different.
As the top sect at the head of the Six Great Traditions, no human sect should give it a face.
"Who told you that our Demon Hunting Guards belong to the Xuanyuan Royal Family? Tiger poison does not yet eat its seeds, and Emperor Wu killed the founder of our Demon Hunting Guards, Demon God King Dang, and we have not yet settled his grievances with him!
Still want to lead our Demon Hunting Guard? Go ahead and dream! "
Zuo Feng roared with a dark face, which frightened the ten government officials so much that they didn't even dare to say anything. They just stared blankly at the gathering of more and more strong men, not even daring to breathe.
"Let me ask you, whose idea was it to change our Demon Hunter Guard's fertile farmland into official farmland and then plant food there?"
When the ten yamen servants heard that this was a settlement, they quickly shook their heads and answered, "I don't know."
Zuo Feng was too lazy to talk nonsense to them and directly ordered his two followers, saying coldly:
"Since you don't know, cut off their hands and feet, throw them into the water and feed them to the bastards, so that they can come out to bully the old people later."
"Yes, Captain!"
The two followers agreed, and cut the arms of the two yamen servants with their hands. With one palm cut, the two arms fell down.
This scared the other eight people. This palm was sharper than a long knife! Moreover, these people are cruel and ruthless, killing themselves is like killing a monster.
How can you dare to collect secrets from the master and the county magistrate when your life is at risk?
Without thinking, he replied:
"It's the county government master and the county magistrate. They said that the Demon Hunter Guard is now divided. Several commanders are fighting for the position of commander. How can they care about these wastelands?
Besides, now that the Demon Hunting Guard has fallen out with the Xuanyuan Royal Family, it is normal for the imperial court to take back the farmland on behalf of the Xuanyuan Royal Family.
The county government has been in deficit every year, and the rent of these 300,000 acres of fertile land can just fill up the old accounts and holes. "
Sure enough, there are traces of the Xuanyuan royal family! The tentacles have extended to the Diancang Mountains. It seems that the fertile fields in the Yunwu Mountains have been taken back by the Xuanyuan Royal Family.
No wonder they haven’t paid wages for two years!
"Your county government office is really promising. It is only responsible for collecting taxes every day. The government office, which only allows people to get in and out, is still losing money year after year. What does your master do?"
Zuo Feng asked scornfully, "A county government only has dozens or hundreds of people, and a county has millions of acres of fertile land, and 50% of the tax revenue is not enough. I really don't know what this master does."
"Sir, you don't know something! Nowadays, there are tens of thousands of people in a county government eating public food. The monthly salary alone is not a small amount. Moreover, government officials are injured or killed every three to five. The compensation for casualties is an astronomical figure! "
Shouhou hurriedly explained that he was sent to patrol in order to prevent the hungry bandits from the mountains from going down the mountain to steal the farmers' food. Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, the county government has sent tens of thousands of people to patrol various places in order to protect the people's food.
Only when food is saved can the people have tax money to hand over to the county government. Only when the county government receives the tax money can they have the money to repay the money to the bank. After paying off the money to the bank, can they borrow money from the bank again to pay their monthly salary.
"You have a county government that can support more people than our Dian Cang team? A county government is reduced to borrowing money from banks to pay wages. It's so bad that Emperor Wu doesn't care about you?"
Zuo Feng asked in surprise and confusion. The other eleven legitimate sons and grandsons behind him also looked at the yamen servant with wide eyes. It was really outrageous to see his mother - so outrageous!
