In the private room!
Facing Ying Ziye's questioning, the waiter didn't show any panic.
"normal!"
"Young master, you don't know. The taxes here in Chen County are higher than in other places."
Ying Ziye's frown deepened, and his keen intuition allowed him to smell something unusual.
"Aren't taxes uniformly formulated by the Qin Empire?"
The waiter shook his head helplessly and said, "The taxes here in Chen County are half higher."
"If the young master feels that it is too outrageous, you can talk to the county governor, or you can go to Xianyang to appeal!"
When talking about this, there was a trace of ridicule on his face. It was obvious that he was also dissatisfied with Chen County's tax issue.
But what can a mere waiter do?
"Understood!"
Ying Ziye's eyes burned when he heard this, he nodded, and took out the money to settle the bill.
Chen Jun, that’s not right!
Immediately, Ying Ziye led Hou Qing and others out of the restaurant and went to other inns and restaurants.
"Secretary, I would like to ask you about the prices for food, drinks, accommodation, etc."
Arriving at an inn, Ying Ziye reached out and took out five cents, handed it to the waiter in front of him and said.
When someone asks a question and gives money, the waiter in the shop smiles and takes the money.
"Can!"
"Sir, in our inn, accommodation costs 20 cents for the lower room, 50 cents for the middle room, and 100 cents for the upper room."
"A pot of rice spring wine costs sixty cents, and the food..."
I asked several stores in succession, and the results were similar. They were all the same, half the price than other places.
At this moment, a group of county and city government officials, dressed in official uniforms, walked swaggering from the street towards the restaurant where Ying Ziye and his group were staying.
Vendors along the way avoided each other for fear of offending each other, and they lowered their heads and did not dare to look up.
"snort!"
The leading tax officer held his chest high and his head high, looking around as if he was looking down at the world and not taking anything seriously.
"Shopkeeper, come out and pay your taxes!"
His tone and posture were arrogant and domineering.
"Hey, it's coming!"
The shopkeeper at the counter hurriedly ran out, bowed and said politely: "Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen."
"This is this summer's tax, a total of two gold!"
The shopkeeper said and took out a cloth bag. After opening it, it was full of yellow, orange, orange and gold.
"snort!"
The leading tax official pulled it over with a cold face, took a look, weighed it in his hands, and said, "Not bad."
"Hey!"
The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly and said, "How dare you deceive the official?!"
Then he took out a handful of copper coins, tied them with a hemp rope, put them in the hands of the head tax officer, and said respectfully: "This one hundred and twenty copper coins is to honor you and several officials. The weather is hot. How many copper coins are there?" You have worked hard as an official, and petty remarks are not disrespectful."
"Ha ha!"
The head tax official smiled softly, pointed at the shopkeeper, and said, "Brother, this is quite interesting."
"Bring me two more bottles of wine. My brothers and I are thirsty."
"no problem!"
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and told the waiter: "Go get two pots of rice spring wine."
The waiter left immediately, went to the warehouse to retrieve the wine, and handed it to several officials behind the tax official.
"That's it!"
The tax officer smiled proudly, full of authority and pride.
As for the drinks, I don't pay at all.
The restaurant manager had a look of pain on his face.
He already paid more taxes, and even gave some money to the tax officials.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually took away two bottles of wine before leaving, which was more than a hundred cents!
"well……"
The restaurant owner couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, with a bitter look on his face.
When Ying Ziye and others saw this, their eyes looked thoughtful, and they did not alert the snake.
"Shopkeeper, they have always been like this. They charge extremely high taxes. Why don't you pay for food and drink?"
The restaurant owner sighed again and said helplessly: "I have already gotten used to it. Those who are not used to it have already been put in jail."
"I see."
Ying Ziye nodded slightly to express his understanding.
Then he led everyone out of the restaurant, walked on the streets, inspected Chen County and looked at everything around him.
Ying Gou carried Shu Lou on her back and jumped up and down with her calves. She looked curiously at the vendors everywhere and bought something from time to time.
Da da da!
Suddenly there was an urgent sound of footsteps.
A group of government officials rushed over and shouted: "Quick, catch him!"
An 11 or 12-year-old boy in civilian clothes had a look of fear on his face. He moved around and rushed into the crowd, avoiding the pursuit of the government officials.
"You scumbags, you scoundrels!"
The commoner boy ran without looking back, yelling and cursing angrily.
"snort!"
A group of government officials quickly chased the commoner boy, pointing at him with a fierce look and yelling: "Boy, don't run away!"
"Your father just ran away!"
The commoner boy mocked: "Your father and I haven't done anything bad, why do you arrest me?!"
"Hey!"
The government officials smiled ferociously, getting closer and closer to the commoner boy, and said disdainfully: "I don't need any reason to arrest you!"
"Huh?!"
A yamen servant was attracted by the lively Ying Gou. He pointed at her and shouted: "There is another one here!"
Seeing this, several other government officials separated into three groups and ran towards Ying Gou.
"Hello!"
Yinggou's face turned cold, evil energy condensed between his hands, murderous intent emerged between his eyebrows, and he shouted: "What are you going to do to me?!"
At the same time, he shouted for help toward Ying Ziye and Hou Qing: "Come here and help me!"
However, Ying Ziye, Hou Qing and others did not move, but watched with interest, like a crowd of people eating melons, with no intention of taking care of it.
For one thing, Ying Ziye and others wanted to use Ying Gou to investigate the government's purpose of arresting people.
Secondly, Ying Gou's strength is enough to deal with it. Even a finger is enough to turn these government servants into nothing and wipe them from the world.
"hateful!"
An angry look appeared on Ying Gou's face, and strong winds swept across her face. She glared at the three government officials who rushed over and was about to kill them.
"Don't do it!"
Ying Ziye sent a message: "Don't get serious with them, let's put on a show and see what these government officials want to do."
Hearing this, Ying Gou snorted dissatisfiedly.
"Why, are you still planning to attack us?!"
"A mere girl can be so ignorant of the heavens and the earth!"
Not knowing that they just had a brush with death, several people rushed towards Ying Gou with the chains.
Ying Gou's eyes were cold. If Ying Ziye hadn't asked her to act and test the situation, she would have been killed by these rubbish.
"Melon skin thing!"
Ying Gou cursed angrily, hit his calf on the ground, jumped into the air, turned over and pulled back.
"Ah!"
"You can't tell, but he's still a warrior!"
Seeing Yingying's skill, the three government officials became cautious and drew out the swords from their waists.
bass!
The edge of the sword is cold.
Ying Gou removed the book from behind and smashed it forward.
boom!
The book was heavy and stirred up a burst of dust.
"careful!"
A government official said in a deep voice.
At this time, the other four government officials who were chasing the common boy had already succeeded. They bound the common boy's hands and directly carried him on his shoulders.
Seeing that the three people here were not finished yet, they rushed over one after another.
"What, it's not solved yet?"
The leader of the government office said disdainfully: "Hurry up and finish the mission early!"
"good!"
Hearing this, the other six people raised their knives and rushed towards Ying Gou.
"ah!"
Ying Gou quickly took out various items from the bookcase with her little hands.
A roll of bamboo slips, a huge bone of an unknown creature, a huge iron pot, and even a broken straw shoe and other debris rose into the air and hit the seven people like rain.
boom!
The leader of the Yamen was hit in the face by a broken straw sandal.
The broken straw sandals fell to the ground, and a purple-red shoe mark was clearly visible on his face. His nose was even collapsed, and two lines of nosebleeds flowed out.
The yamen leader howled in pain and covered his face.
"Ouch!"
When the other six government officials saw the debris coming towards them, they also scattered to avoid it.
However, one person was hit hard by the big iron pot. He covered his lower body and jumped on the spot. His body was unstable and he fell to the ground.
"hateful!"
"It hurts!"
"Damn, this girl doll..."
All the government officials screamed and wailed in pain.
At this time, the yamen leader regained consciousness and once again raised his knife and rushed towards Ying Gou.
"I thought you were a master, but it turns out you are nothing more than that. You only know some ruffian tricks."
Just as the leader of the government officials was about to wave his sword to suppress him, Ying Gou took out a suona and swung it horizontally towards him.
Seeing this, the chief of the government officials leaned back slightly to avoid the blow.
However, the suona was extended forward, and the trumpet hit the front door of the yamen leader.
boom!
The leader of the Yamen was injured in the face again, his figure was unstable, and he was knocked to the ground!
"ah!"
He screamed in pain and covered his face again.
The six government officials behind him all looked panicked at this moment, and they were too timid to step forward.
Even if Ying Gou didn't use any real strength, it was not something that a small character could easily deal with.
"A bunch of melon skins!"
Ying Gou stood at a stall domineeringly, pointing his suona at the other six government servants.
The leader of the government officials pointed at Ying Gou and roared: "Why are you still standing there?!"
"Fuck me!"
Ying Gou looked down at everyone from a high position and said with a disdainful smile: "If you do this, I won't be polite!"
Surrounded by a group of government officials, Ying Gou took action again.
bass!
One of the government officials slashed down with his sword, but Ying Gou pretended to be in danger and dodged.
"Help, the kid is caught!"
