Chu Ziheng and Ruoyun were shocked in their hearts, and at the same time, they were also angry, the villagers were actually selling their daughters collectively, and it was a cheap price of three taels of silver, even worse, listening to the meaning of Aunt Hua's words, this kind of thing doesn't seem to be once and a half!

Are the villagers so difficult that they have to sell their sons and daughters? And there is more than one village, listening to the meaning of the words of Aunt Hua, it seems that the nearby villages are like this?

Da Chu has reduced a lot of taxes for farmers over the years, Chu Ziheng will not be naïve to think that Da Chu is prosperous everywhere and everyone lives a good life, but it will not reach the point of selling children and daughters!

The two also heard a key word, that is, "catch the strong man"!

What's going on? When did Da Chu have this rule, Chu Ziheng never knew that Da Chu had been catching strong men for the past two years!

Chu Ziheng grabbed Mao Dazhuang on the side and asked, "Brother Mao, why do the villagers sell their daughters?" ”

"Zhou Gongzi, if life goes on, who would be willing to sell his daughter, hey, I can't get by, I'm forced!" Mao Dazhuang said.

"Forced? How was it forced? Was it an act of God? Or is the harvest bad? Chu Ziheng asked.

"This year's harvest in the field is good, the best harvest in years!" Mao Dazhuang said.

"The crops are so good, why can't they survive?" Ruoyun was also puzzled.

"Pay taxes, the crops are harvested well, and the more taxes are paid, the more grain left behind in the end is worse than in previous years!" Mao Dazhuang said in a low voice, if it weren't for the fact that he suddenly realized that Gongzi and Bai Girl looked like ordinary people this week, and he couldn't help them, he wouldn't dare to tell them this.

"Pay taxes?" Chu Ziheng only felt that his head was big, the tax set by his father and emperor was the lowest in the past, how could he not be satisfied with food and clothing because of paying taxes.

"Brother Mao, how much tax do you pay?" Chu Ziheng suddenly had something in his mind, and immediately asked.

"Pay sixty percent, collect ten taxes and six!" Mao Dazhuang gritted his teeth and said, they hated this tax deeply, and they had worked hard all year long, but they had to pay most of the grain they had to pay, and their own rations were not enough.

"Ten taxes and six?" A wave of anger escaped from Chu Ziheng's body, and the anger in his eyes frightened Mao Dazhuang so much that he didn't dare to raise his head.

"Ziheng!" Ruoyun pulled his arm and calmed him down.

In fact, Ruoyun was also very angry at this time, because she knew that Da Chu's tax policy was to collect ten taxes and two, but this Mao Dazhuang said that it was ten taxes and six taxes, which was forty percent more than the national tax, and it was no wonder that the villagers couldn't afford to sell their sons and daughters to pay such a high tax!

Chu Ziheng was pulled by Ruoyun and calmed down his anger, he knew that this matter was not something that Mao Dazhuang's level could touch, and the extra forty percent went there? It must have something to do with this Binzhou official!

At this time, the villagers who were already coerced and scared by Aunt Hua over there nodded, and they were about to reach an agreement to buy a girl for three taels of silver.

Seeing this, Chu Ziheng nodded at Ruoyun, and then strode inside.

At this time, Aunt Hua was about to take the deed of sale for the villagers to sign, Chu Ziheng walked over and snatched his pile of deed of sale, stretched out his hand and tore it to pieces.

When Aunt Hua saw that the deed of sale was torn up, she was immediately furious, "You, where did you come from, you dare to ......?"

Before he finished speaking, he stopped talking, because he had already seen the whole picture of Chu Ziheng, and suddenly stars appeared in his eyes, and he said with a on his face: "Oh, where did this handsome little brother come from, he is really handsome, look at Aunt Hua and my eyes, this little brother, you go with my aunt, I will recommend you to the nobles, I guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy food in the future, and you will enjoy the glory and wealth in the future!" Ah! ”

This fat woman called Aunt Hua was kicked out by Chu Ziheng before she finished speaking.

The meaning of Aunt Hua's words, Chu Ziheng heard it clearly, many men from big families have that kind of Longyang fetish, and they like a male style, Chu Ziheng hates this thing, and this Aunt Hua actually said this kind of thing to him, he can call her so insulting!

That Aunt Hua was kicked out by Chu Ziheng and flew out a foot away, fell to the ground and fainted immediately.

At this time, the little girl who followed Aunt Hua only realized the "ah" screamed, "You, you, you, dare to beat our Aunt Hua, our Aunt Hua is the sister of the governor of the Zhizhou Mansion, you have eaten the courage of the ambitious leopard!" What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and tie him up for me, tie him up! ”

The little girl pointed to the men who were driving behind her and shouted.

The men rushed over at Chu Ziheng, and when Mao Dazhuang saw this, he rushed over with an arrow step, blocked in front of Chu Ziheng, and said to Chu Ziheng: "Zhou Gongzi, you and the white girl should ride a horse first, and go forward from this road!" ”

He meant that he was afraid that Chu Ziheng would suffer a loss, so he let him go first.

"What are you going to do when I'm gone? Aren't you afraid that the chief manager will come to you to trouble? Chu Ziheng asked.

"I, I'm a cheap life anyway, it's not a pity to die, I just ask Zhou Gongzi to save the people of Binzhou if he has a way!" Mao Dazhuang gritted his teeth and said.

"Brother Mao, don't worry, I want to save the people of Binzhou, but I won't leave, I don't care about these people!" While he was talking, Mao Dazhuang didn't see clearly how Chu Ziheng made a move, and saw that all those big men fell to the ground and fainted.

Seeing this, the little girl almost fell down, and then thought of something, turned around and ran away in fright, but she didn't go far before she fell and fainted.

In fact, Ruoyun secretly made a move to make her unconscious, otherwise let her go and report the letter, which would inevitably cause trouble for the villagers of Maojia Village!

"Oh, you beat Aunt Hua, she will definitely not accept our people here in the future, how can we live, we can't be caught in charge, our family will rely on him!" Suddenly, a woman dressed in tatters rushed out, sat in front of Chu Ziheng and cried.

And the girls who were about to be sold were relieved to see Aunt Hua being defeated, but when they heard this woman's words, their faces were sad again.

Yes, if they are not sold, the brothers and fathers in the family will be arrested and killed, it is a place of nine deaths and a lifetime, what can I do?

For a while, the women present were crying again, and a few women were talking about catching strong men!

Chu Ziheng was stunned, this was the second time he had heard about the arrest of Zhuang Ding, and the villagers were all afraid of this matter, it seemed that it must not be a good thing!

"This sister-in-law, you get up from the ground first, the ground is cold, since we are in charge of this matter, we will not let you sell your daughter, nor will we let you be in charge of the family, don't worry!" Ruoyun walked over to help the woman who was crying on the ground.

But the woman didn't get up at all, but just cried on the ground. R1152
