cpa300_4(); Liu San'er's brows suddenly twisted into a pimple.

Normally speaking, since the two villages divide the cultivated land, they naturally divide the tax according to the amount of land divided. I pay 10 percent of the tax for 10 percent of the cultivated land, and 10 percent for 10 percent of the cultivated land. But looking at them now, it is okay to plant the land for these villagers, but there is another way to divide the tax.

Liu San'er said respectfully: "The grass people are stupid, please make it clear to the officials." ”

"Haha, good!"

The official smiled viciously: "Liu San'er, don't say that the brothers don't give you a way to live, how much tax to pay, let you decide by yourself, how about it?"

What does it mean?

Everyone was puzzled, and they saw the man wave his hand, and immediately someone behind him brought a huge box, placed it on a stone table in front of them, and he pointed to the box and said, "There are ten copper coins in it, which means ten percent of the tax." ”

“……”

The official continued, "You only have one chance. Remember, if you catch one, Lujia Village only needs to pay one percent of the tax, and you have to pay ninety, you catch two, they pay two percent, and you pay eighty percent. However, if you have the ability to catch ten coins, then your Jixiang Village can be exempt from taxes, and all the taxes will be paid by Lujia Village!"

“……”

"Hahahaha, how is it, Liu San'er. We're good enough for you. ”

Ten copper coins can be tax-exempt, such a good thing, these officials are so kind?

Besides, if Liu San'er really grabbed ten copper coins, then all the taxes would be paid by the people of another village, such a heavy tax, how difficult it would be for them!

My heart sank, but the people around me had already shown happy looks, and some people had already clapped their hands and secretly said, "This is great!"

"Isn't it easy to catch copper coins? Now, we don't have to pay taxes!"

Seeing the elated appearance of the crowd, I didn't speak, only secretly worried, but their excitement didn't last long, and when everyone gathered around and took a closer look at the box, everyone gasped.

Liu San'er looked at the box, and his face turned a little pale.

What's going on?

Rue and I looked at each other and walked forward. She finally helped me to the stone table, and when I looked at it, I was startled.

The box was surrounded by thick wooden boards, and I don't know what kind of bracket was contained in it, but there were dozens of sharp knives that kept rotating, making a pale sound, and countless terrifying cold lights flashed in front of them, stabbing people's eyes with pain.

Through the blade, you can see that there are indeed ten copper coins at the bottom of the box, but if you want to go down like this, you are afraid that if you stretch out your hand, your hand will be cut off!

As soon as I saw this, I was immediately angry.

If before, I bumped into the copper box that spread the plague, and I could see the rampant and domineering of those officials in Yangzhou, this time what I saw was that they were prey on the common people, and they were ruthless in disregard for human life, and they actually made such a thing to rectify people!

With such officials, how can the South not be in chaos?

"What's going on, Liu San'er, you like to stand out so much, let's make you a big hero." As long as you can catch ten copper coins, then you are exempt from paying taxes. Even if you can't catch ten coins, even if you only catch more than five copper coins, your village will pay a lot less tax!"

“……”

"However, we still have a rule, you can only reach out once, as long as your hand leaves the mouth of this box, you can't reach in again, understand?"

“……”

"Of course, if you're not so bold, then don't talk about making a living. The man said viciously: "You have to pay the fishing tax and silver, you have to pay it! Don't dream of cultivating the land of Niangniang Mountain!"

Damn it!

Liu Yi asked them to reclaim the farmland, which must have allowed these fishermen to make a living in the dry season, but they didn't expect it to become a means for these corrupt officials to declare their personal vendettas!

The surrounding villagers are also in chaos.

"What should I do?"

"If you go down this hand, you won't chop it up?"

"But if we don't farm, what are we going to do?"

Everyone was talking, and finally set their eyes on Liu San'er. The young man stood in the middle of the crowd, his well-defined face taut and his lips pursed without saying a word, no matter how worried and anxious the people around him were, he just stared at the knife box.

Rue Xiang walked up to him and said anxiously: "Third brother, don't be stupid, your hand will be broken in this way." ”

Someone next to him immediately said, "So what are we going to do? How are we going to live?"

Everyone was arguing again. I didn't speak, just looked at the knife box intently, and after looking around, I walked to Liu San'er's side and patted his arm gently, and he looked back at me: "You're here?"

I nodded, looked at the knife box and said, "Are you going to get it?"

"......" He was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"You can get hurt. ”

"It's better to be injured than to be skinned!"

I thought about it, leaned into his ear and whispered, "You must know that if you don't make a move today, even if all the people in this village are gone, it will not be your business, but if you reach out and catch it, if you catch less, you will be a sinner in their eyes." ”

People are accustomed to doing this, and when they are given too much, they take it for granted.

Liu San'er was silent for a moment and said, "I'll do what I have to do." ”

I looked at him in amazement.

Although I didn't ask him about his age, I felt that Liu San'er was younger than me, and his smile and temperament were still a little childish, but at this time, he exuded a mature and steady atmosphere, which made people feel that they could rely on him with peace of mind.

This breath is somewhat familiar.

However, seeing his determined appearance, I was a little relieved, so I whispered to him, "Come to me, look." ”

He walked to my place suspiciously, followed my finger and looked into the box, immediately reacted to something, and looked at me with some surprise.

I smiled and said, "This place is your chance." ”

I just looked at this knife box from all directions, and the knives in it are very dense, and any position where you can start has a blade that keeps slashing, so that no matter how fast he is, he will always get hurt, but I still found a place where my hand can reach to the bottom of the box, and only one blade will cut through that place.

As long as you seize the moment, there is a chance before the blade is cut.

Be fast enough, though.

Thinking of this, I raised my head and looked at Liu San'er: "Can you do it?"

He turned his head to look at me, raised his right hand and shook it: "I can use this hand to reach directly into the river to touch the fish." ”

He said it easily, but I saw that his eyes were a little heavy.

At this time, the official sneered and said, "Liu San'er, do you dare?"

Liu San'er gritted his teeth and said, "There's nothing you don't dare." But do you mean what you say?"

"What's so difficult about this, we will make a document, as long as you can do it, what we just said will be fulfilled one by one. ”

"Good!"

After speaking, the official asked someone to bring a pen and paper, wrote the document on the stone table, and shook it open in front of Liu San'er: "How is it?"

Liu San'er took it and took a look, then folded it and handed it to me, and then slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing the strong arm full of solid muscles.

Rue Xiang was already so frightened that her face turned white: "Third brother, your hands are important!"

At this time, even the elderly village chief walked up to him and said tremblingly: "San'er, you have to think clearly. ”

Liu San'er gritted her teeth and walked to the box.

The blade inside was still rotating, reflecting the sun, and there was constantly a bright knife light across his face, which made his expression more and more solemn, and I watched from the side, and I couldn't help but get nervous, clenching my fist slightly.

The villagers who were originally noisy and shouting around all fell silent at this moment, and the whole village was so quiet that even the wind stopped.

At this time, Liu San'er raised his right hand and leaned down towards the box.

My breath choked.

Seeing that the knife light in the box flashed, that place was suddenly empty, and even a few copper coins below could be vaguely seen, and the next moment, Liu San'er's hand had passed through that place and stretched straight to the bottom of the box.

Grab it with big hands!

This qiē was completed in an instant, but between the lightning and flint, everyone stopped breathing and opened their eyes wide, as if time had stopped half at this moment.

Seeing that the rotating blade was about to turn back, I subconsciously opened my mouth to call him, but my throat was so nervous that I couldn't make a sound.

But Liu San'er's reaction was not slow, and after probing and grabbing, he had already quickly retracted his hand.

At this moment, my eyes did not look at his hand, but looked at the bottom of the box through the rotating knife light, and vaguely saw that there were still a few copper coins left inside, but because of the continuous rotation of those blades, I couldn't count them.

How many did he catch?

This is a tax related to the two villages!

However, no matter how much or how little he catches, in fact, Liu San'er is in a disadvantageous position. Putting that aside for now, I was immediately relieved to see that he was able to keep his hand, which was already a blessing in misfortune.

But at this moment, something surprising happened.

Liu San'er's hand was about to retract back to the mouth of the box, but suddenly stopped!

What's going on?!

I was so taken aback that I didn't even have time to speak when I saw Liu San'er's clenched fist suddenly loosen.

Two copper coins slipped through his fingers and fell back into the box with a thud.

It's-

Not only me, but the people around me were all stunned, but this qiē happened so fast that we almost didn't have time to react, but at this moment, Ruxiang, who was standing next to her, let out a frightened whisper: "Third brother-!"

At this moment, a bright sword light slashed in front of his eyes, and immediately after, a bloody light came into his eyes.

The rotating blade had already turned back, and it was cutting down on Liu San'er's arm, and immediately cut out a deep and long wound, and the blood flowed!
