Li Qingyu and Lin Jingya are here to inquire about the news. Naturally, they should not meddle in their own affairs. However, the fact that the two officials are engaged in business is hard for people to see. They hate their teeth!
Li Qingyu thought a little. He felt that several people in the opposite incident were ordinary people. There were no high-level warriors. Even if he did it himself, as long as the means were hidden, others would not find it. So he said softly, "I'll deal with it!"
When Li Qingyu finished, he was about to use his skill to punish the two officials. However, four fast horses suddenly rushed to the front and back of the farmer and the two officials. Suddenly, the leader gave a whistle, and the four horses stood up almost at the same time and stopped in an instant.
Li Qingyu frowned slightly and did not move for the time being. Instead, he turned his eyes on the four of them. All four of them were wearing brown and yellow armor. They were all soldiers. The leader was about 40 years old, with a heavy face and a waist knife hanging from his waist. He was a burly man and looked like an officer.
"Stop it! What are you doing? " The officer jumped from his horse and yelled at the two officers.
Two officers and men did not put four officers and men in the eye, one of them said: "officers and men law enforcement, no your business, what to do!"
The officer's eyes were cold. He suddenly bent down and gently lifted up the farmer who was still lying on the ground. He gently asked, "brother, are you ok?"
"No... it's OK. It's just a little painful." The farmer wiped the corner of his mouth and said with pain on his face that the official's foot was really heavy just now.
"What happened, brother?" The officer pointed to the scattered ground, a lot of rotten dates that had been rubbed and covered with sand, and said, "are these dates yours?"
"It's mine. This year, the government's tax revenue doubled, and all the extra grain was handed over to the public. Before the Chinese new year, the family would be cut off. This is the jujube I picked from the mountains in autumn. I wanted to go to the city to sell it for some grain, but I didn't sell a copper plate until noon. These two officials came to collect the transaction tax. I had money to pay the tax and said I would give them some jujubes to offset the tax, but they said that even if I gave them all my jujubes, it wasn't enough for the tax, Then he kicked over my basket and trampled on the dates like this, alas... "The farmer sighed, and the seven foot man burst into tears.
The officer's face suddenly showed a trace of anger, turned around and sneered at the two officers and said, "ha ha, selling all the dates is not enough for your tax money. How do you collect the tax?"
"Brother, don't think that with the support of your officer, you dare to do whatever you want in Yunzhong city. It has the final say of the Lord, who has the final say, not your governor! The mud leg can't pay enough tax. It's because the dates he sells are cheap. If he raises the price, won't it be enough tax? " An official said with a sneer.
"Guan ye, no one wants a copper coin and a jin of jujube. If the price is raised, no one will buy it!" The farmer said with a bitter face.
"That's your business. We don't care, we just collect taxes! " Another official yelled at the farmer.
"Bullshit logic, it's shameless!"
The officer suddenly yelled and slapped the officer in the face. The officer felt dizzy, dizzy, and sweet. Subconsciously, he spat, but it was full of blood. There were two big teeth in it!
"How dare you beat me?" The officer covered his cheek with his hand, and his face roared strangely.
"Damn, I beat you! Get out of here now! Go back and tell your superiors that I'm wang Dongliang, the general manager of Hutou camp! Come to the barracks and see me! " The officer yelled and slapped the officer on the other side of the face.
The soft one was afraid of the hard one, and the hard one was afraid of the Leng one. Just now, they were still fierce and invincible. The two officers who played with the farmer in front of them didn't dare to say any more. They immediately ran away. After running for more than 30 meters, they stopped. One of them turned back to the officer and said: "your name is Wang Dongliang, right? You not only violate discipline and interfere in local law enforcement, but also beat officials. We are waiting to die for this matter. "
The goods still need to go on, but the officer suddenly kicked on the ground. A dried jujube flew towards him and hit his mouth. It not only broke his lips, but also knocked out his only front teeth!
The official was almost mad with anger, but he didn't dare to say more. With the help of his companion, he turned around again and ran away!
It was not until the two officers ran away that Wang Dongliang called on the three men to help the farmer pick up the scattered dates. The farmer was grateful.
Li Qingyu moved in his heart: "this man is upright, but he can make friends. Maybe he can get some information about the barracks from him?"
Thinking of this, he immediately whispered to Lin Jingya, "go and help."
At the same time, Li Qingyu asked tentatively, "brother Wang is so righteous that he is so humble. I really admire him! If everyone is like brother Wang, we don't have to live in dire straits. "
But Wang Dongliang didn't give Li Qingyu a good look. He just looked at him and said coldly: "brother, when you go out, you should be cautious and don't be ignorant. Who is living in deep water? Who are you dissatisfied with? I don't think you are young and sensible. I don't care about you this time. Next time I hear you say that, don't blame me for being rude! "
"NIMA!" Li Qingyu couldn't help feeling a pain. He wanted to kiss up and get closer. He asked for some news by the way, but he didn't expect to kiss up to Ma Zui.
When Wang Dongliang taught Li Qingyu a lesson, they picked up all the dried jujubes scattered on the ground. A soldier handed the basket to the farmer. Wang Dongliang took out 20 copper plates from his body and handed them to the farmer. He said, "brother, you don't need to sell the jujubes. The official has been staring at you. I don't think you can sell them next. Take these copper plates and buy some rice and go home."
The farmer had to refuse, but Wang Dongliang had already stuffed the copper into his pocket. Then he called to his men, turned over, mounted his horse, and galloped away. From the beginning to the end, he didn't see Li Qingyu any more. Li Qingyu's plan to ask for information from the other side was in vain.
"Thank you! Thank you The farmer knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his back.
"Don't knock, elder brother. The Lord of the army has already run away. Listen to him and buy grain quickly, or you may be targeted by the officials again. Maybe you will be taxed with your copper money." Li Qingyu reached out and pulled the farmer up.
The farmer was startled. Then he got up and expressed his thanks to Li Qingyu and Lin Jingya.
"Brother, do you know Mishui town? It's about 130 li away from here. It's said that there are job recruitment, food management and wages. I can go there to have a meal. " Next to Lin Jingya said in a low voice.
The farmer hesitated and said, "but I heard that the people there are anti thieves. If I go to work for the anti thief, I will become an anti thief too."
Li Qingyu is a bit speechless. It seems that the government usually gives these people a lot of soul soup. They can't live any longer, and they don't want to be "anti thieves".
"Do you think that being an obedient person, being bullied by others all day long, can't protect your wife, children, old and young? Or is it better to be an anti thief and really be a person and survive well? " Li Qingyu said with a faint smile.
Seeing that the farmer was a little stunned, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "go buy rice first."
The farmer nodded, holding the basket in one hand and covering his pocket with copper plate in the other hand, and left with some staggering steps.
