Han Hongqing's eyes were blackened by the hat, and he yelled with a pale face: "When will I not want to pay the poll tax? Don't confuse right and wrong!"
The officer crossed his arms and sneered: "Stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to go to jail, just kneel down and apologize to me."
"Looking at your age, the official may spare your life."
Han Hongqing prides himself on being a proud scholar. In his whole life, he has only kneeled to heaven and to his parents. How can he kneel to others?
But if he didn't do it, and he was really charged with such a crime, it might affect the imperial examination.
Han Hongqing clenched his fists, his eyes were blank, and he was in the middle of a battle between heaven and man.
The scene was stagnant for a moment.
Han Yu stood on tiptoes, saw this scene through the window, and poked Han Song's arm: "Second brother, will there be something wrong with our family?"
He and the male protagonist still have to take the imperial examination, but Han Fa can't let Han Fa interfere with that.
Han Song said firmly: "No."
Han Yu saw that he was confident, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes: "Huh?"
Han Song didn't look at his silly face, and didn't care what was going on outside. He just asked: "This matter has nothing to do with you and me. Can you practice your Chinese calligraphy today?"
Han Yu immediately sat down and practiced Chinese calligraphy hard.
But even so, he still quietly raised one ear and paid attention to what was going on outside.
...
Qi Dani heard her man scream in pain and could guess what happened.
Now he heard the yamen servants making things difficult for Han Hongqing. He suddenly felt angry and anxious. He threw himself on the kang, but he couldn't get up.
She was overwhelmed with anger and shouted at the top of her lungs: "There is no justice! The official is beating someone! The official is beating someone!"
From daybreak until now, the black-faced government servant has left at least dozens of households. Everyone was polite to him. Even if they had questions, they only asked a few questions and respectfully handed over money.
Only this one is really annoying me to death by procrastinating and asking questions.
The government officials with black faces could be sent to collect the poll tax, so the higher-ups had some connections.
His backer is the county magistrate's brother-in-law, who is very prestigious in the county.
The black-faced government servant had curried favor with the county magistrate's brother-in-law, and he was considered a figure in the county. No small businessman or hawker would see him without nodding and bowing.
I originally thought of using taxes to make some money, but I didn't expect to get much money, but I became angry.
Do you really think that Shen Daqian is a vegetarian?
Teach him a lesson so that he knows how powerful Guan Ye is.
As for the screaming girls in the room...
Shen Daqian winked at the people behind him, and the Yamen servant who had just pushed Han Fa stood up and ran towards the main room.
There was a crackling sound, accompanied by repeated howls of ghosts and wolves, which made the neighbors tremble.
Qi Dani was afraid that she would offend the official, so she was beaten.
It's okay if she gets beaten, but don't hurt them!
Han Hongqing was shocked by the arrogance of the government officials. It took him a long time to find his voice: "Stop! Stop it!"
The yamen servant was not moved at all and gave him a severe lesson before he came out still unsatisfied.
Han Hongqing was so angry that he was shaking all over and pointed at the yamen servant: "Do you know who I am?"
Shen Daqian disagreed: "Who are you? Could it be the King of Heaven?"
The yamen servant burst out laughing.
Han Hongqing's face turned red, but he could not maintain his gentle face. His face was distorted and ferocious: "I am a young boy in the imperial court. If you make trouble like this in my house, don't you worry that I will sue the county government?"
Shen Daqian narrowed his eyes, Tong Sheng?
That's really not easy to offend.
Although Tong Sheng was not worth much in the county these days, and his status was higher than that of a squire, he still had fame and honor.
If things get serious, even if the county magistrate's brother-in-law is there to protect him, there is no guarantee that he will not be punished.
Thinking of this, Shen Daqian pretended to smile cheerfully: "Who is it? It turns out to be Mr. Tong Sheng. Please forgive me for the offence."
He kicked the yamen servant who turned over his hand, and took out another coin: "It's all my fault that my subordinates are careless in what they do. I hope Master Tongsheng will forgive me."
Han Hongqing had a cold face and refused to accept it, but Shen Daqian forced it into his hand.
"This money will be used to supplement your livelihood. As for the poll tax... this is really the county magistrate's order. We also obey orders. We have suffered a lot of runs in the past, so we will inevitably be impulsive when we are angry."
Shen Daqian lowered his tone, seemingly softening his attitude, but moved the handle of the knife without leaving any trace with his right hand.
The sword flashed away, and Han Hongqing's face turned pale in shock, and he shrank back two steps.
The heel bumped into Han Fa's, and he groaned again.
Han Hongqing was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he was afraid of the sword and did not dare to step forward. He pointed at Shen Daqian and his hand shook like a sieve: "You, you, you!"
Before you could say anything, Han Fa took the lead and said, "It's the little old man, isn't it? I'll apologize to the official here. Third brother, go get the money from the cupboard in the main room and pay the head tax quickly." .”
Han Hongqing still wanted to argue, but Han Fa glared at him. He went to the main room to get the silver and handed it to Shen Daqian.
Shen Daqian licked the tip of his pen and happily marked the words "Han Fa" on the roster. He took a deep look at Mr. Tong Sheng and left with the others, leaving the Han family in a mess.
Han Hongqing helped Han Fa get up, and while walking to the main room, he complained: "Dad, why don't you let me continue talking?"
Han Fa raised his arms and hummed: "What are you talking about? If they can be so domineering, they must have something to rely on. Dad doesn't want you to offend the county government because of us two old guys."
Han Hongqing was angry: "But..."
"There is no but!" Han Fa interrupted him loudly and said seductively, "When you become a scholar or a Jinshi, why worry about not waiting until they kneel down and beg you for mercy?"
Han Yu didn't hear what Han Hongqing said after that.
When Qi Dani screamed in pain, Han Yu was stunned: "Second brother, did you guess that third uncle would do this?"
Han Song: "No."
Han Yu: "I don't believe it."
Han Song: "..."
It’s not that I guessed it, but I experienced it myself in my previous life.
Also on New Year's Eve, Han Fa made a remark that angered the government officials who came to collect the poll tax, and he was punished on the spot.
But instead of breaking his arm, he hit his face on a stone and knocked out two teeth.
At that time, Qi Dani was not bedridden due to the snake venom. She had a lot of fights and bites with the yamen servants, and even scratched the head yamen servant's face.
Shen Daqian was furious and threatened to throw them into jail for refusing to pay taxes and beating the government servants.
Later, Han Hongqing threatened him as a Tong Sheng, and Shen Daqian deceitfully left a small sum of money and left.
In the next life, things still happened.
Grandma was also injured, and Han Hongqing also reported his identity.
It seemed that the matter was settled here, but little did they know that Han Hongqing and Shen Daqian formed a feud because of this, which led to what happened next.
Thinking back carefully, the only variable around him was the person in front of him.
Han Song looked at Han Yu with an inquiring look, and the suspicion from last time resurfaced in his mind.
Han Yu felt that the other person's eyes were like precision scanning instruments, scanning him from head to toe, even his internal organs.
Han Yu subconsciously tensed up and almost lost control, revealing his hidden vigilance and ferociousness.
He blinked and looked innocent: "Second brother?"
Han Song fiddled with the brush: "Brother Yu seems to be a lot more lively since he was injured."
Han Yu's palms were covered with sweat and soon became wet.
But after all, he is a little monster created in the laboratory. He has an unusually high IQ, but he is not as harmless as he appears. He has at least 800 tricks.
However, within a few breaths, a layer of moisture quickly appeared in Han Yu's eyes: "Why did second brother say this? Could it be that he liked the me before but hates me now?"
Han Song didn't expect that Han Yu would hit him. He was stunned for a moment and then shook his head: "No, I just..."
Under his cousin's accusing eyes, the young man looked away with an unreadable expression: "I just think Brother Yu's transformation is very good, and I have no other intention."
Han Yu snorted lightly, but stopped questioning: "I also think this is good. My parents and sister are very happy, and they don't have to worry about me every day."
From the exchange between Xiao Shuirong and Han Hongye, Han Yu learned that they had been worried about the dullness and dullness of the original owner in the past, and they were always worried that it might be because of a small accident that occurred when Xiao Shuirong gave birth, which would affect the child.
Han Yu used this as an excuse, which was more logical.
——His changes are indeed not small. As long as you pay a little attention, suspicion is inevitable.
His parents and sister have always loved and trusted him unconditionally.
Hearing Han Song's questions, Han Yu was frightened and felt like the dust had settled.
If you make your own changes clear, you won't have to worry about it in the future.
Han Song gently rubbed his forehead and hummed softly.
It was because he had gone astray and always made ill-intentioned assumptions about others.
If Han Yu was really like him and was reborn, no matter how hard he tried to hide it, his behavior and facial expressions would always reveal something.
Unlike now, when something happens, you get wet eyes.
He's a good boy, and he always loves to act like a spoiled brat.
Han Song's mind wandered, and he coughed lightly and said: "Yes, this is a good change. Okay, I will teach you how to read again."
When the alarm was lifted, Han Yu felt relieved. Just as he was about to respond, a shadow fell above his head.
Before he could raise his head, the visitor asked angrily: "That yamen servant just insulted my parents, why didn't you come out?"
Han Yu was silent, what were you going out for? Being beaten while standing?
Han Hongqing pointed at Han Song and said in a preaching tone: "Who do you think you can study because of? If there is anything wrong with dad, you can only go home and farm!"
Han Yu: But my father and uncle make all the money in the family.
Facing Han Hongqing's accusation, Han Song's face remained motionless: "If I were you, I should invite Doctor Guan."
Instead of talking nonsense here.
Han Hongqing blushed. After all, he was more worried about his parents than he was dissatisfied with Han Yu and Han Song, and turned to find the doctor.
As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, Han Yu's innocent question came from behind: "But the third aunt didn't come out either."
Han Hongqing: "She... was beaten too."
Han Yu: Oh?
Han Song: Oh!
