Now Liu Datong and Dong Hui's faces were dark and smelly.
Black because the color of cow dung is black, and smelly because of the smell of cow dung.
Originally, Liu Datong thought that the big bell in the center of the county was just to summon the people of the county.
Now the people have indeed been summoned, but each of them is holding a weapon, and the crowd is so excited that he has surrounded a few of them.
Liu Datong and Dong Hui, who had been exposed by the common people for their deception, were now in a dilemma.
Dong Hui wiped most of the cow dung on his face with his sleeves, leaned in front of Liu Datong, and whispered: "Sir, I didn't expect that there are literate people among these unruly people!"
"But don't worry, you are an official. Killing an official is a serious crime that will implicate the three clans. These mud-legged people don't dare to do anything to you!"
Hearing this, Liu Datong became hardened and said to everyone with a cow dung face: "I am an official of the imperial court. Do you still want to kill me?"
"If you kill me, you will kill the Yi clan!"
The people present in Pingliang County were also startled by Liu Datong's sudden momentum, and they all took a step back involuntarily.
Originally, Liu Datong could have taken advantage of the common people to be temporarily frightened by his momentum, and then quickly escaped from the siege, but he didn't expect that he would make another cool move!
"Since you don't dare to kill me, then pay me taxes honestly. The 40% tax cannot be less! My words here are imperial decrees!"
When it comes to paying taxes, the people in the city are not happy now. The imperial edict states that we will be tax-free for one year. Why do you want us to pay 40% of the tax?
Because you have a black face, do you have a smelly face?
Furthermore, Zhou Yi, the real great master of Pingliang County, did not claim to be the local emperor. Even the title "master" was voluntarily called by the common people.
The anger of the people present was instantly ignited again, and everyone took two steps forward to surround Liu Datong and his party even more.
Master Sun, who was among the crowd, pulled Qian Catcher's sleeve and gave him a look.
The two of them had originally conspired to take advantage of Liu Datong's public grievances to kill Liu Datong and his group.
But I didn't expect that Liu Datong would carry out this killing operation within a few days of coming to Pingliang County.
Qian Yong shouted loudly, then pushed aside the crowd with all his strength, saying: "Dear fellow villagers, this dog official took advantage of our unpreparedness two days ago and stole all the more than 16,000 kilograms of grain reserves that the elder left for us. gone."
"Today, we are here again to impose excessive taxes, trying to collect high taxes from us. This kind of dog official will not be tolerated unless he dies!"
Qian Captou's words undoubtedly threw a big bomb into the fire, and the emotions of the people around him were even further aroused.
"What, this dog officer actually stole the food security that the great master left for us?"
"This dog officer really deserves to die!"
"Guan Gu, give us back our food!"
"Guan Gu, give us back our food!"
...
Looking at the crowd that was about to lose control, Liu Datong quickly retorted: "Fart, that food is obviously the money that was used to hide it!"
Liu Datong can still describe "one year's tax exemption" as "an additional tax of 30%", so what's the difficulty in saying that the white things are black and the things he stole are hidden by the money captor?
He said that he could say whatever he wanted, but no one in the county believed a word that the dog official Liu Datong said.
Seeing how excited the people were, Master Sun Yufu immediately mingled with the crowd and shouted: "The monster in the divine well is causing trouble. This dog official is the monster. Let's kill this dog thief!"
In an instant, the people immediately changed their tune from "You official, give us our food" to "Kill this thief."
Qian Yong said as if he was daring to be the first in the world: "Okay, today I will kill this dog official for the people of Pingliang County."
With a chirp, Qian Yong came out of his body with a long knife from his waist. He took three steps and two steps at a time, jumped onto the stage and killed Liu Datong with a knife.
When Liu Datong's head flew out, he never thought that someone actually dared to kill him.
Liu Datong's headless body sprayed blood all over Dong Hui's body. Dong Hui had never seen this scene before, and he was scared to death on the spot.
Qian Yongdu beheaded the culprit Liu Datong, and other common people also took action and killed all Liu Datong's men.
On that day, Qian Yongqian, a police officer, was treated as a hero by the people in the county. Several widows even winked at him.
If Zhou Yi were here, he would definitely be thinking, why hasn't he been treated like this after being in Pingliang County for so long?
The next morning, Qian Captou woke up with a hangover.
After waking up, he began to worry about his guilt after killing an official.
What does killing an official mean?
The representative is dissatisfied with the discipline of the imperial court and intends to rebel.
Although killing officials is tantamount to rebellion, the number of people who go to the family market to kill people is still smaller.
At this time, Qian Yong began to feel a little scared, but Sun Yufu, the master who encouraged Qian Yong, remained calm and said: "What are you afraid of? The law does not punish the public. This County Magistrate Liu was killed by all the people in the county."
"It's impossible for the emperor to kill all the people in our county!"
After hearing what Sun Yufu said, Qian Yong relaxed, but he still decided to wait for the eldest master Zhou Yi to come back and apologize to him.
As for how the elder dealt with him in the end, Qian Yong had no complaints or regrets. Anyway, Qian Yong was very happy when he chopped down Liu Datong.
Six days had passed since Liu Datong and his group were killed.
On this day, the originally dry spring well began to fill with water.
The people who discovered this situation immediately spread the news throughout the county.
"The spring well is filled with water, and the great master is coming back!"
After hearing the news, the common people ran to the vicinity of the Yongquan Well to watch this spectacle.
Water comes out of the spring well, and the great master is coming back. All the people in Pingliang County firmly believe this.
Therefore, the people of the whole city have been waiting since the morning at the east gate where Zhou Yi left a few days ago. Each of them wants to see the familiar face of Master Qingtian Zhou Yi for the first time.
This is indeed the case. At this moment, Zhou Yi led a large and well-loaded army and was only twenty miles away from Pingliang County.
Seeing that he was about to return to Pingliang County, Zhou Yi asked the system to restore the water supply to Yongquan Well.
Zhou Yi waved his hand to call Wu Laoliu and said: "Wu Laoliu, when you get back, you can put these chickens, ducks, cattle and horses in the state-owned breeding farms. As for the food, let's put it in the county's granary!"
Now Pingliang County not only has state-owned breeding farms, but also state-owned brick factories, state-owned cement plants, state-owned grain stores... These are not only state-owned enterprises, but also state-owned assets.
And this state-owned company is exactly Yang Xiu’s cousin.
In other words, all the assets in Pingjiang County now belong to Yang Xiu on the surface, but in fact they only belong to Zhou Yi.
State-owned, state-owned. What the country owns, isn't that what Zhou Yi owns?
This is why Yang Xiu guessed that Zhou Yi had long wanted to compete for the title after hearing that Zhou Yi had given him a cousin.
