Chapter 19 Excessive Taxes and Miscellaneous Taxes Are Fiercer Than Tigers
Zhang Chengsi was just a little joke in the village, but when the eldest brother Zhang Chengde came back, he saw that the eldest brother was not good, and Zhang Chengsi made everyone laugh.
Kick a long kick.
Zhang Chengsi just made the big guy laugh for a while.
Zhang Chengde said nonsense, he wanted to kill people.
Five people and three people were red-eyed.
Zhang Chengde asked everyone, I want to do something, but you can't do it.
The four agreed.
Deng Changmao said, "Killing officers and soldiers and other complicity is a capital crime." ”
"Is there still a way to live on this day?" Zhang Chengsi finally thought about it, and he said, "I just finished paying the agricultural tax, and there is not much ration, so I have to pay the intershelf tax again, and I don't know what the situation will be this year." ”
And then they didn't speak for a long time.
This time, Deng Chang smiled, "Brothers, in ancient times, before heroes did great things, should they do something?" Like swearing or something. ”
Four people looked at him.
All four of them are relatives, only Deng Chang is not.
Deng Chang picked up a weed from the side of the road and stuck it on the ground, "At this time, the less people know, the better, let's use weeds as incense." ”
All five laughed.
Then, there was another silence.
The summer wind blew, Deng Chang, "The wind blows so pleasantly on the body, if you really want to take this step, I'm afraid we will never have this kind of day again." ”
Zhang Chengsi touched Deng Chang's shoulder, "Are you going to do it?" ”
Deng Chang nodded.
The five of them were desolate in their hearts, but the sun was shining on everyone's faces, and they felt open in each other's hearts.
"Punching." Four people said.
Deng Chang, "I just think that I should say something at this time." ”
Zhang Chengde, "I want to kill the officers and soldiers, you follow me, in the days to come, will you regret it in the future?" ”
Zhang Chengsi, "Whoever regrets it is a grandson." ”
Liu Xi, "Whoever repents is Wang Bayang." ”
Among the five people, four people talked Deng Chang wanted to laugh, only he had been on the battlefield for a long time, "If anyone says it, I will dig out that person's heart with my own hands." ”
Then the five of them bowed their heads and discussed for a long time~.
There was nothing to say that day, and the next morning, ten taels of silver were collected in the village, and Zhang Gong held it to the three officers and soldiers in front of the whole village.
"The three military masters came to my village, there is nothing to be honored in the village, this is the meaning of the big guys in our village, buy some tea for a few military masters to drink."
In the Tang Dynasty, a copper coin could buy a steamed bun, and ten taels of silver could buy three tiled houses.
At that time, the houses were all mud and thatched houses.
Three officers and soldiers wore helmets and rode on horses.
The leading officers and soldiers pouted their mouths and used their horsewhips to stir in the plates of filial piety silver.
Then it's a laugh out loud, "Hahahaha." ”
The laughter was carried away, arrogant and unstoppable.
The other two laughed too.
The eldest brother who took the lead, "I accepted the kindness of the village, the people of our village are simple and simple, and the people are kind, so we can set an example for our Gyeonggi Province." However, the world has not been peaceful recently, and if there is a problem with bandits here, you must report it in time. ”
Take the money.
Three servicemen went away.
Song Huai, "These three plague gods are finally gone. ”
Then he looked back left and right, "In-laws, where have your two sons gone?" ”
Zhang Gong also looked left and right, and then suddenly realized, "It's going to be bad." ”
The agricultural road in Datang Woniu Village is surrounded by half-human-high bud rice fields on both sides.
On the farm road walked three tall horses, and immediately sat three soldiers in armor.
The three soldiers were also strange, they did not ride fast on their horses, and the hooves of the horses were wandering on the farm road.
The three of them rode on horses, elated, and talked to each other.
Guanjun, "Brother, let's come to the countryside to notify us to pay taxes, the rural people are really easy to bully, my brother just shouted a few words, and they were happy to give us money." ”
Guanjun, "This is a means of making money, why didn't we think of it earlier?" If we do this at the beginning, once we go to the countryside, we will be able to develop once. ”
The eldest brother who took the lead, "I don't think it's good, I also came from the countryside, came to the countryside to go to the countryside, and the farmers provided food and drink, delicious food and hospitality." Blackmail them, I'm embarrassed to open that mouth. In the past, some villages would have a little attitude when we left, who knew that this Woniu Village gave so much money. ”
Guanjun, "Brother doesn't have to blame himself, let's go to the countryside to notify and pay taxes, these days we are sleeping in the open air, hungry and thirsty, and this money is our brother's hard money." ”
The top boss of the three tax collectors is the Gyeonggi Provincial Gyeongguan who is directly under the head of the household department, and the head tax is collected and paid.
As a result, these three tax collectors became "sick" due to their work, and they really became bandits.
The officers and soldiers said well, hard money, and remembered the things that happened to the countryside of Gyeonggi Province these days.
The eldest brother who took the lead also lost his conscience, "I went to the countryside and came to the countryside, and the two brothers were busy with me, and everyone worked hard, which was the kindness of my brother and my wife." ”
"So, you still have to be evil, others will be afraid of you, and they will respect you if they are afraid of you." The common people are used to it. ”
As soon as the words fell, a person rushed out of the budding rice field next to the farm road, stopped the three horses, and shouted, "You guys stop me!" ”
The three officers and soldiers looked intently, and in front of them was a man dressed as a peasant in a black robe and cloth shoes, who was also masked and carried a sheep's fork in his hand.
"Who?" The three of them didn't have time to take the long weapon on the saddle bridge, and they all pulled out the sword from their waists.
Thinking that the blackmail in Woniu Village was too smooth, the three of them laughed when they saw the man.
The hero shouted, "Meat man," and then began to chant the robbery road, "I opened this mountain, and I planted this road,~"
Before he could finish speaking, the eldest brother who took the lead rushed over, waving the treasure knife in his hand, "Where did you get it!" ”
The slanted shoulder strap was back, and it was slashed down with a knife.
The hero didn't finish speaking, he was defenseless, the officers and soldiers were fast, and they rushed to the front in an instant, and the hero hurriedly leaned back, and fell into the dust with a pop.
The horse is fast, the knife is fast, the hero has no time to hide, and he has a color on his body.
Take the lead and circle the horse's head and come back to mend the knife.
The good man grunted and got up from the ground and ran into the budding rice field.
The three officers and soldiers rode horses, and the bud was half a man high, and no one knew whether there was an ambush in the field, and none of the three officers and soldiers chased them.
The eldest brother who took the lead scolded, "Where did the turtle king eight come from, dare to block my official army." ”
No one answered.
Guan Jun, "Brother, we seem to have encountered a robbery." ”
Guanjun, "Brother, the good man didn't finish speaking, and he didn't report anyone's surname." ”
Take the lead eldest brother, "This year is a lynx and a wild mouse who comes out to scare people, and when you meet this kind of person, you have to learn from me." ”
"Shall we chase or not?"
The eldest brother who took the lead, "There are no thieves near Chang'an, the capital, I think it may be a nearby farmer, report this matter to the imperial court, and it is not too late for the government to arrest it." ”
The three of them walked forward again.
Who knows that after a few steps, Zhang Cai's man came out of the bud rice field again, stood in front of the three horses and scolded, "The three dog officers and soldiers don't follow the rules at all, I haven't finished speaking, you will plot with me." ”
The three officers and soldiers were furious, "Where did the turtle king bastard come out, let go of a good life, and come to rob your grandfather." ”
All three hurried forward.
The man turned around and ran, but this time he didn't burrow into the ground.
The three of them were happy.
It's a bump into an idiot.
If you hold this person, you will not only make a fortune but also be promoted.
Seeing that he was about to catch up with the thief, the thief disappeared in a flash.
The three officers and soldiers sat down, and their horses suddenly fell and fell off their horses on their backs.
"It's not good, there's a stumbling block." The eldest brother thought to himself.
"I was wise all my life, and I couldn't imagine that I would lose my life here now."
Without waiting for the three officers and soldiers to see clearly, five people armed with steel knives, sharp swords, spears, and sheep fork peasants came out of the budding rice fields on both sides and slashed at the three of them.
After killing the three officers and soldiers, all five of them took off their masks, and they were the five heroes of Woniu Village.
