Anju Island, Zhubei Village, early in the morning.
"Dangdangdang..."
"Island tax collected!"
The golden gong kept ringing, and the howls sounded like pigs being driven into a pen, waking Chen Anzhi from his sweet dream.
It was a sweet dream in which he came to Anju Island like a king.
"Oh!"
Chen Anzhi called softly.
This year, in order to secretly regain his strength, he has been pretending to be stupid.
"Oh!"
After calling out again, Chen Anzhi didn't get the response he always received in ten breaths. Then Chen Anzhi discovered that An Zaizai had left the door at some point.
In this situation, he must have rocked the boat and went into the sea to catch shrimps for him.
"well!"
Chen Anzhi scratched his head, feeling guilty.
In order to speed up his recovery, he became a big eater who pretended to be stupid.
Then, An Zai Zai's grandfather was exhausted and An Zai Zai was suffering again.
After a whole year, he has actually returned to the sixth level of external strength, and can go out to sea with An Zai to fish and catch shrimps to make money.
But in order to have more time to refine and recover, and to have strong strength to support himself, he could go to the sea to Chenqing Island to help An Xiaoxiao. He had been hiding his weakness and could only feel guilty for An Zazai.
Because when Confucius drugged him and kicked him into the sea, he took away the jade talisman and the Duanwang Sword that he had obtained from the Blood Salt City, and he became a naked man from then on.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be so overwhelming.
...
“The island tax has always been only three pearls per month, why has it increased to four pearls now?
You are too bullying! "
After taking a deep breath and breathing in the sea breeze, Chen Anzhi walked out of the shed, feeling a little comfortable. He liked the feeling of Zhubei Village on Anzhou Island, where he could be free from worries.
However, an unpleasant sound sounded as Chen Anzhi lazied.
He could tell that it was Xiao Nizi An Zaizai's angry voice.
After living on Anzhou Island for a year, he had never heard An Zaizai be so angry.
So, he strode towards the direction of the sound.
...
"What, do you think it's expensive?"
"If you are willing to follow Mr. Zhu, why don't you worry about the four copper beads instead of the silver or gold beads?"
"hey-hey!"
Three or four people made fun of each other.
They were tax collectors from Zhucheng on Anzhou Island.
The so-called copper beads, silver beads, and gold beads are inner elixirs that contain medicinal power that can accelerate people's cultivation of sea beasts. Because of their colors, the people of Anju Island classify them as gold, silver, and copper.
The medicinal power contained in the more than ten kilograms of shrimps Chen Anzhi eats every day is not as powerful as a copper bead.
As an existence with only a small first-level external strength, how could An Zai Zai be able to hunt down a sea beast with an inner elixir?
Therefore, she could only work hard every day to hunt shrimps. After this month's hard work and the loss of her grandfather's consumption, she finally used the remainder besides Chen Anzhi's rations to exchange for four copper beads.
As a result, the monthly tax increased to four yuan, and she was very angry.
"Well, there are less and less seafood near the coast, so the scope of the safety zone has to be expanded a lot, and there are more and more casualties in Takumi Guards. The expenditure on pensions has also increased, and tax increases are inevitable!"
The village chief of Zhubei Village looked at the angry An Zaizai and calmly comforted him.
As for the truth, who knows whether it is as he said.
Even his son is known to covet the bright-eyed and white-toothed An Zazai.
A year ago, this silly girl got a silly man and served him wholeheartedly, which annoyed him.
It's just that An Zaizai and her dead grandfather were generous saviors. They were respected and protected by the villagers, and he couldn't use force at all.
Therefore, since you can’t get it, destroy it or sell it.
After An Zazai's grandfather passed away, he, Zhu Sanba, couldn't wait to sell An Zazai's appearance to the third young master in Zhucheng and got four golden beads.
...
"But why, my monthly tax is only four?"
An Zaizai was furious.
"Anju Island law states that adult men must work in Tuohai for ten days every three months, otherwise they will be fined.
That wild man in your family has been lying in bed for a year, and your grandfather has been working hard for three months while serving two people. If he has passed one term of service, then he can only be punished. "
When Zhu Sanba opened his mouth, it was Anzhou Daolu, and he immediately stopped everyone who was trying to help Anzai Zai.
To live in Anzhou, there are all kinds of labor and taxes. Once you violate them, you will be the food for the growth of sea monsters.
The Anzhou people at the bottom, like those in the Wei Dynasty, had a difficult life.
Therefore, everyone who knew Zhu Sanba's plan could only look at An Zai with apologetic eyes, and then all backed away.
They are just little people with first or second level external strength and cannot afford to fight.
...
"I heard that someone is plotting against my little wife?"
A voice sounded coldly. After hearing the sound and being briefly surprised, everyone moved out of the way.
Among them were several young wives from Zhubei Village, with bright eyes and excited faces.
There are people in mainland China who have a strange encounter after falling off a cliff, and there is also a saying in Anzhou about fishing for noble people from the sea.
They really witnessed it today.
“Who are you to fight taxes?”
Zhu Sanba watched Chen Anzhi walk out, his heart trembled.
Although this guy is stupid, looking at the size of his abdominal muscles and chest muscles, he and his son combined can't compare.
Therefore, it was the tax collector who spoke.
...
"Four copper beads, right?"
"Dangdangdang..."
As soon as Chen Anzhi waved his hand, the sound of four golden gongs being struck sounded, and four copper beads were set into the golden gongs by him.
Then, he stretched out his hand to catch An Zaizai, his eyes shining with wisdom.
"Stop, that woman has to stay!"
Seeing the two of them about to leave, the four tax collectors who had taken Master Zhu's instructions could no longer hold back and drank directly.
"The poor figure has appeared?"
Chen Anzhi looked at the person who spoke and smiled sarcastically with a death gaze.
Chen Anzhi was the most powerful person in the Wei Dynasty and was famous among the nineteen states in the world.
Since he was born, he has always been against people in the innate realm, but this external force dared to scold him. He really wanted to laugh.
...
"Why, do you still dare to kill officials?"
Seeing Chen Anzhi's gaze, the tax collector who spoke out yelled crazily.
“Dabao, cover your sister-in-law’s eyes.
Your four copper beads, I will return them to you a hundred times a thousand times in the future.
Now, let me lend you the shrimp knife. "
With a response and an explanation, a shrimp peeling knife flew into Chen Anzhi's hand.
After holding it, this triangular sharp shrimp peeling knife feels good in the hand.
...
"Puff puff..."
The sound of blood spurting was very pleasant.
That kind of warmth is very comfortable.
"Zizzizi..."
Chen Anzhi slashed his neck with the knife.
When he led An Zai Zai away, one person fell at the scene, and four others lost their lives with their throats slashed.
There were three people in total who walked out of Zhubei Village.
The shrimp peeler in Zhubei Village, Anzai the village beauty, and Chen Anzhi from Haililuo.
...
"Brother An, why do you stop?"
The people were killed in the morning, the three left at noon, and stopped in the evening.
Zhu Dabao, who had long wanted to escape from the prison of Zhubei Village, asked Chen Anzhi, the guide who stopped in his tracks.
"You take Zaizai and hide it for now. I'll go back and steal some money to help Zhubei Village get rid of the evil officials.
Save him from opening his mouth and letting the whole Zhubei Village take the blame for him! "
After saying that, Chen Anzhi disappeared with the shrimp peeling knife.
But it is difficult to travel without money, and this is the root cause.
