"Daddy, this is the tax quota issued by Yin Xian this spring." Dong Tianxiang pushed open his father's door. If it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want to disturb his father, he had also heard about the county soldiers stealing food on the street the day before yesterday, and he knew how hard this hit his father, who had always been proud. The 500 county soldiers that his family has always relied on have actually become robbers, Dong Tianxiang is really afraid that his father will not be able to think about it.

"How much?" Dong Zhuang's hoarse voice came from the room.

"Three hundred stones." Dong Tianxiang's tone was filled with anger.

"Three hundred stones? Haha, they really dare to ask for it. Tell them that my Dong family doesn't have a grain of grain. Dong Zhuang seemed to hear a big joke and laughed.

"Isn't that right? Just robbed me of 1,500 stone of grain, you Lord Dong should be able to get rich for a while, right? An emotionless voice that was so cold suddenly sounded behind Dong Tianxiang.

This voice made Dong Tianxiang feel his heart twitch violently, and he looked at the person in shock.

The man who came was a few years younger than him, and he was a head taller than him. Dressed in a black samurai suit, he has a tall and thin figure, ape arms and a bee waist, and the muscles on his chest are high and bulging, full of dangerous aggression. Especially those eyes, which are sharp and angular, and the coldness in the eyes is better than the ice and snow in the cold winter. There is an ordinary waist knife hanging on his waist, but it gives people the feeling of sharpening iron like clay and being a god soldier in the world.

"Who are you?" Dong Tianxiang looked at the person with a vigilant face, and there was a person on the other side, but he didn't have any idea of resisting. When he realized this, cold sweat dripped down his cheeks.

"You are the Dong Tianxiang who built the auspicious cart?" The person who came looked at Dong Tianxiang in a scholar's uniform and smiled slightly, "You can call me Qin Forget, you should have called me Uncle Qin, but now, I don't need it." ”

"Qin Forget? The head of Qinjia Village, the butcher of refugees, Qin Wang? Dong Tianxiang's body was shocked, and he already understood what Qin Forget was here for. His eyes flashed with light, he looked directly at Qin Wang, and opened his mouth to confirm.

"You're finally here, Tianxiang, you go out first." At this time, Dong Zhuang's voice came from the room.

Dong Tianxiang heard his father's voice, took a deep look at Qin Wang, and walked out of the courtyard.

"Squeak." Dong Zhuang opened the door, and the sun soon shone on his gray hair and gray face.

"Master Dong, I haven't seen you for many days, I didn't expect to be so old." Qin Forget looked at Dong Zhuang's half-white hair in a few days and asked in surprise.

Dong Zhuang smiled bitterly, didn't say anything, turned around and walked into the room, "If Village Chief Qin is here to ask the master to ask for the crime, I, Dong Zhuang, have nothing to say, please do it." Dong Zhuang picked up the half-wiped horizontal knife beside him, and wiped it carefully, not looking at Qin Forget at all.

"Good knife, the previous dynasty "Tang Liudian" volume 16 arsenal order Cheng Zhi Zhangzhang record: There are four knife systems, one is called the instrument knife, the second is the obstacle knife, the third is the horizontal knife, and the fourth is the Mo knife. What Master Dong is in his hands must be the long-lost Heng

Knives up. Qin Forget looked at the knife in Dong Zhuang's hand, the blade was straight and very heavy, and the underside of the strong blade was a terrifying large cutting blade, the blade was two fingers wide.

The overall line is rigid and straight, and the cross-section is a straight rectangle with an isosceles inverted triangle. The total length of this knife is about two feet and five, and the length of the blade has reached more than one foot and a half, and the blade is like a flood of autumn water, extremely sharp. The handle is nearly a foot long and can be held in one or both hands, and the gauntlet is made of iron and has an oval shape. Qin Forget immediately fell in love with this knife.

"If you like, you can take it and kill me." Dong Zhuang affectionately stroked the blade with one finger, and suddenly handed the handle of the knife to Qin Wang.

Qin Wang's eyes were overjoyed, and he took it unceremoniously, "Ding! With a flick of the blade, he immediately put it in his ear and listened to the crisp trembling sound.

"Hundred steel, it is really a good knife. Such a knife should not be stained with the blood of heroes. Qin Forget laughed, a smug look on his face that the conspiracy had succeeded.

"You're not here to kill me?" Dong Zhuang asked in disbelief.

"What are you going to do with it? Although you and I can't be brothers now, we haven't reached the point of fighting to the death. But I said a long time ago that you owe me an explanation, and with the county soldiers stealing food this time, you should give me an explanation. Well, this knife is considered an interest. Qin Forget sat in front of Dong Zhuang, his face gloomy as water, but he unceremoniously tied the horizontal knife around his waist and patted it uneasily.

Dong Zhuang didn't seem to see Qin Wang's movements, he smiled bitterly, his face was extremely sad, "If there is anything else to say, it's all because I don't have the ability." ”

Dong Zhuang picked up a bowl of spirits on the table and drank it all. Maybe it was because the wine was too strong, and he drank it too quickly, and he coughed violently, his face turned red, and tears flowed down his eyes as he coughed. Clear tears flowed down his face like two small rivers.

Qin Wu looked at the man in front of him silently, and his heart was slightly sour. He understood that Dong Zhuang had been rigid all his life, but he had to burst into tears because of fate. This feeling is really sour and really powerless. Just like Qin Wang's mood when all the young people in Qinjia Village disappeared overnight.

"Hey, this wine is fucking spicy!" Dong Zhuang wiped his face and pretended to say.

"Brother, my brother knows that my brother can't stand you. But my brother really can't help it, the last time I went to Qinjia Village, Yin Xian's group of people used my family and my brothers to blackmail me, I really couldn't help it. This time, this time you will be your brother's treachery, and the food will definitely not come back. ”

As soon as Dong Zhuang raised his head, another bowl of wine was drained.

Qin Forget didn't say anything, silently picked up the wine jar on the table, and poured himself a bowl. Following Dong Zhuang's example, he drank it into his mouth.

Burst......

Before he could swallow his throat, Qin Forget squirted out in one gulp.

That's not his first place

Once drinking, he drank several times at Chen Wan'er's house. But it was a good wine for a dozen or decades, and I had never drunk such a spirit. He choked and coughed, and a lot of tears and snot flowed.

"Ahem。。。。。。" Qin Forget patted his chest and coughed loudly.

Seeing Qin Wang's appearance, Dong Zhuang couldn't help laughing, and with the tears on his face that hadn't dried up, he looked a little crazy.

"How can you drink like this? Gotta take your time, how's it, spicy, right? Dong Zhuang laughed as he poured a large bowl of tea for Qin Wang.

"Bitter." Qin Wangyi took the tea bowl and couldn't wait to drink the tea dry in one gulp, giving Dong Zhuang such an answer.

"Bitter?" Dong Zhuang asked in surprise, and then his face was full of understanding, "Hehe, that's right, what is not bitter on such a day?" Don't hide it from my brother, this jar of wine is my last jar, the entire northern land has been plagued for many years, and there is not enough food to eat, where is there still food to make wine. The only people who have the ability to make wine are those landlords who have money and grain. ”

"I don't care about this, I only care about days like this, how long will we live?" Qin Wangshun came to his senses and said in a deep voice.

Dong Zhuang was also silent, not only the ordinary people of Chicheng couldn't survive anymore, but even those big and small families were full of dissatisfaction with Huang Ling and Huang Jinshan. The whole Akagi is like a powder keg that is slowly expanding, accumulating resentment and anger little by little, and I don't know when a spark will explode and blow everything to ashes.

"I've heard that several of you have been allocated a share of the tax this time, and it's quite a bit. How? Huang Ling doesn't miss the old love so much? As soon as the topic changed, Qin Forget asked suspiciously.

"Old love? I heard that the three states of Yun, Shuo, and Wei have begun to levy taxes on Yun, Shuo, and Wei, and the taxes are more than twice as high as in previous years. What can Huang Ling do with his old love? Could it be that a few people in Yin Xian came out with that batch of money and food by themselves? What's more, Huang Ling has always treated them as dogs. Dong Zhuang sneered.

"Then they didn't do anything against Huang Ling?"

"Confrontation? Do they dare? Dong Zhuang sneered again, his face full of disdain for Yin Xian and the others.

Qin Forget nodded thoughtfully, "Chicheng is now in ruins like this, I only ask County Lieutenant Dong one sentence, if Yin Xian forces the county soldiers to attack my Qinjia Village again, will you be like last time?" After asking, Qin Forget stared at Dong Zhuang with burning eyes.

Hearing Qin Wang's words, Dong Zhuang's eyes slowly widened, and there was an angry look inside, and his face turned red. Finally, as if remembering something, the person suddenly paused again.

"It seems that in the heart of Village Chief Qin, I, Dong Zhuang, have really become a villain. Don't worry, even if you starve to death, my Chicheng County soldiers will never appear by the Chaobai River again. Dong Zhuang's face was extremely pale, and he no longer called Qin Forget his brother, but changed his name to Qin Village Chief, which shows how much Qin Zhuang's words hurt Dong Zhuang's heart.

After these two incidents, the two still couldn't go back after all.
