Chapter 54: Xiao Li is arrested
In fact, this is also a last resort for Prince Allah, Maxi is the grandfather of Prince Allah, and Maxi is a god-like being. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info because he lived for more than 400 years and ruled the United Kingdom of Thomas for more than 300 years.
When Maxi first became king, the country was quite okay, and the taxes and forced labor were not onerous. Maxi also cut off the heads of several corrupt officials at the time, which greatly bought people's hearts.
But as time passed, Thomas's national power increased, and Maxi began to be extravagant and wasteful. The more he went on, the more he intensified, the construction of the palace on a large scale, the corruption of officials and corrupt officials in the country was rampant, and the taxes became heavier and heavier. So much so that an uprising finally broke out decades ago, especially the army led by Karen, which dealt a heavy blow to Maxi. Although Karen was defeated, the strength of the entire United Kingdom of Thomas was greatly damaged, and the strength was no longer what it used to be.
After Karen's uprising, Maxi not only did not repent, but intensified. Domestic control has become stricter, and taxes and forced labor have increased unabated. The populace was miserable, while Maxi continued to be extravagant and wasteful, and the treasury was empty. Prince Allah had no choice but to order the ancient city of Lanling to increase taxes to cover military spending.
Fighting a war does not simply refer to numerical superiority, but logistical support is the most important thing. Where there is war, there must be casualties. Victor was not the only wise man in the world, and Prince Allah also thought of the great usefulness of these herbs for treating bruises in war, so he ordered them to be taken for his own use.
The baron, armed with his sword, ordered the soldiers to surround the market, ordering the merchants to hand over the herbs. The merchants talked a lot, and naturally a hundred were unwilling.
"Baron Lauren, we'll hand in the bone-setting herbs. What price did Prince Allah offer us?" asked a middle-aged man with a long beard, and it turned out that the baron's name was Lauren. The middle-aged man with the long beard was also a shopkeeper.
"Prince Allah has ordered that all bone-setting herbs purchased will be purchased at the market price!" said Baron Lauren.
Now the crowd let out a sound of satisfaction.
"It's okay to buy it at the market price, but according to the current market price, it should be at least a gold coin and a carriage. ”
"If Prince Allah buys it at the market price, will the tax be reduced a little?"
"According to the market price, it is negotiable, and we agree. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, whoever you sell to is selling. ”
Everyone was talking, and Baron Lauren, looking at the noisy crowd, shouted, "However, Prince Allah has also said that now the great war is imminent. The treasury was empty, and all the medicinal materials purchased at market prices were in arrears. ”
"Boom!", the crowd boiled, and the ghost believed the nonsense of Prince Allah. They owe the debt, and they don't know if they can pay you back in the Year of the Monkey.
"No! we don't agree!"
"Yes, we don't agree!
"Yes, we are all small businesses, if we owe money. How do we explain to our suppliers? If we ask us to advance money, we will go bankrupt. ”
Protests began to erupt in the crowd again.
Baron Lauren jumped onto one of Victor's carriages, and he held his sword: "Prince Allah has orders, and those who dare to disobey will be punished for collaborating with the enemy, or they can be killed!"
The crowd fell silent all at once, and Prince Allah was known to be ruthless. People don't want to, but their heads matter. There is no reason to talk about it with the government at all.
"If you go against them, you'd better beat that Baron Lauren. Hou Wukong said in Xiao Li's ear.
"Why? There are so many of them. Xiao Li looked at him puzzled.
Hou Wukong had a smile on the corner of his mouth: "If you want to save the villagers, just do as I say." ”
Although Xiao Li didn't quite understand what Hou Wukong meant, he knew that he had always been smart. Listening to what he meant, he must have thought of a way.
Immediately, Xiao Li turned over and jumped onto the carriage, and Baron Lauren was holding his long sword to scare the merchants. In the bustling noise of the crowd, he didn't even notice anyone behind him.
Xiao Li kicked Baron Lauren's ass. Lauren threw himself out of the carriage with an "oops".
With a "poof", Lauren fell to the ground and ate, and the crowd burst into laughter.
Lauren was immediately furious, and dared to beat up the court officer, this person was impatient. This is still secondary, the important thing is that this person dares to insult himself in public, where to put the face of the dignified baron.
Lauren got up, and he was going to kill the man who had insulted him. When he turned around, he found that there was a young and beautiful girl standing in the carriage, who was looking at him with a smile.
Could it be that this beautiful girl kicked me just now? Lauren hesitated for a moment, and said angrily, "Who are you?" ”
Xiao Li looked at him with a smile: "You don't pay for the medicine, and you still want to owe it." Sister, I can't be convinced, I want to teach you a lesson, what can you do to me!" Xiao Li stuck out his tongue at him and made a grimace, looking like a little daughter.
Lauren was overjoyed: where did the country girl come from, I don't know how thick the sky is. This little girl is so beautiful, it is better to take it back and give it to Prince Allah, who will definitely be rewarded.
Then I thought: this little girl has delicate skin, can be broken by blowing, and has a beautiful face, which can be regarded as rare and beautiful, even if Prince Allah doesn't like this little girl, Lao Tzu can take her into his pocket.
Thinking of this, Baron Lauren's face showed a lewd look: "Come on, arrest this wild girl for me." ”
"Yes!" several soldiers surrounded him with spears.
As soon as Xiao Li turned around, he found that Hou Wukong had long since disappeared. At this critical moment, where did this stinky monkey die? Seeing these soldiers surrounding him, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
"Up!" a soldier stabbed at Xiao Li with a spear, and Xiao Li turned over and jumped onto the spear. It slid down the spear and kicked the soldier out of the air.
As a result, the entire medicinal herb market was in chaos, and people scattered and fled. Xiao Li relied on his flexible skills to hide in this medicinal herb market.
These soldiers from the ancient city of Lanling rushed over, and Xiao Li either got under the carriage or jumped onto the carriage. Or grab a handful of herbs that the ghost knows what they were for, sprinkle them in the faces of the soldiers chasing her, and then turn and run away.
In the huge medicinal herb market, hundreds of soldiers were actually turned around by a little girl. For a while, the chickens and dogs jumped in this medicinal herb trading market, and the ghosts cried and the wolves howled, and it was a mess.
Baron Lauren was furious: "You bunch of rice buckets! you can't even catch a girl, beware of going back to Prince Allah and cutting off your heads." Surround her and slowly shrink the encirclement. ”
Sure enough, the soldiers began to get serious, and it seemed that they were usually afraid of the Prince of Allah.
The soldiers formed a circle and slowly approached Xiao Li. Xiao Li rushed left and right, these soldiers did not pursue, but surrounded the city and slowly approached.
Sure enough, the circle shrank smaller and smaller, Xiao Li looked around, there was no way to hide, there was no way to dodge. The spears of the soldiers pointed at her, and Xiao Li was captured.
