Chapter 677: Fifth Brother Chen

Tao Zhutu said a lot of things to Lan Ziyi on the road, what two factions are competing, Tao Zhuhu led the horse farm guys to patrol the field, and he almost rushed last night, and he was naturally dissatisfied with the people between words.

Lan Ziyi listened silently to Tao Zhutu's words, and in his heart he was sketching out the direction of things in the future. Lan Ziyi really admires the father and son of the enemy family, these two people can always see the points that others have missed.

When Lan Ziyi was walking and thinking, Tao Zhutu had already taken Lan Ziyi to the middle of the gathered crowd, several were dressed differently, and at first glance, the capable guys who came out of the horse farm took the horses from Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhutu, and Tao Zhutu led Lan Ziyi to the other direction, and at this time, how much Ren Yue hated the mud on the ground in the mountains, she could only get off the horse and walk beside Lan Ziyi.

After walking for a while, Lan Ziyi clearly felt the density of the crowd in front of him, and everyone gathered in a circle in one direction, whispering and commenting as if watching a play. Originally, Lan Ziyi wanted to squeeze into the crowd, but what he didn't expect was that Tao Zhutu, who was opening the road in front, patted the shoulder of the person in front of him, whispered a few words, and the crowd split up.

Lan Ziyi walked forward in the eyes of everyone, and before he could go to the front, he heard the voice of the peach chasing the tiger from inside:

"We're not bandits, we're not rebelling to seek justice here, you can't do that."

Lan Ziyi walked to the front of the crowd and saw Tao Zhuhu sitting face-to-face with another person at a broken table, and Tao Zhulu was standing behind Tao Zhuhu. To Lan Ziyi's surprise, it was not Zhu Sixteen who was fighting against Tao Zhuhu, but someone else, and Zhu Sixteen was standing behind that person like Tao Zhulu at this time.

The opponent of Tao Zhuhu is a dark-skinned sturdy man, half of his head is bald in front of him, and his whole face looks dark and shiny, and it can be seen from the wrinkles on his face that this person is indispensable to work hard outside on weekdays. Maybe it was the long-term wind and sun that destroyed his appearance, or maybe it was the wind and frost sleeping in the open, and the warmth and coldness of human feelings matured his mind, this person's eyes were extremely sharp, and with his tense muscles, he looked aggressive.

Hearing Tao Zhuhu's words, the man spoke

"Young Master Tao, you are a rich man, you don't know the local people's feelings, it's not that I want to shout and kill, it's the people who get together and shout it themselves. You'd better go back to the city and stay there, and then come out when I'm done here. “

This man's voice was hoarse and harsh, and his voice sounded like a wheezing sick wolf, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Compared with the opponent's tense muscles and spirit, although Tao Zhuhu is also aggressive, but he is not like the opposite enemy, he is extremely nervous, he is idle as if he is bowing his head and arguing with others. Hearing the unreasonableness of the other side, Tao Zhuhu immediately sneered:

"I call you Fifth Brother Chen or Fifth Brother Chen, you are mobilized by the young master of my family, you have to listen to the young master of my family. My young master is just seeking justice for the people, and he didn't teach you to resist taxes and rebel. You are here under the banner of my young master, and you still want to ask me to go back, what if I go back, waiting for you to coerce the people here to stab the sky and throw the black pot at my young master? ”

Fifth Brother Chen, who was sitting opposite, said:

"Since Master Tao mentioned Master Hou, then I have something to say. I heard Sixteen tell me that yesterday the Hou Ye only let us go and do it, and he supported us, and did not arrange for the eldest young master to come over and mix. As a result, we did a good job yesterday, but you led people to rush to say that you want to take care of things, how can there be such a reason in the world?

Tao Dashao, you keep saying that the Hou Ye wants to seek justice for us, then I want to ask, the government collects two taxes a year, the imperial grain accounts for one point, the miscellaneous donations account for six points, and one acre of land is seventy percent of the grain, and in case of a fierce year, it will be collected according to the number. We, the people, were looted and had no food to eat, so we borrowed the usury of the Ji family. According to you, the debt of the anti-Ji family is fair, but what about the taxes of the imperial court? We pushed off the Ji family's debts, and the government's taxes are still hanging over our heads! If we don't resist taxes, if we don't resist donations, sooner or later we will be swept away by the government. “

Peach Road:

"The imperial court only collects imperial grain, does not urge miscellaneous donations, and exacting taxes and taxes are all caused by the corruption of local officials. The people are overwhelmed by the burden of Bingming Weihou, and the Weihou is determined to present this matter to the emperor on the temple and seek justice for the people, how can you use this as an excuse to incite the people? Do you know you're rebelling? ”

Fifth Brother Chen snorted coldly and said:

"Young Master Tao, you are in the official family after all, you are only talking about things for the official family. This is the first time I've heard these things you've ever heard? I told

You, an official, will bluff people with this kind of nonsense, we are tired of hearing it for a long time. ”

After finishing speaking, Fifth Brother Chen said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have also seen with your eyes that I, Chen Wu, am from a poor family, and I dare not be more noble than these two young masters of the Tao family! The people and horses that these two young masters brought last night, each can eat enough, everyone has money to spend, they are different from us, they are the sons of officials and nobles, we are the same poor family, you must not listen to his nonsense! They're just going to use our big guys as guns! ”

Many young men who were standing for him behind Fifth Brother Chen all raised their arms and shouted when they heard this, and Lan Ziyi glanced at the people opposite, and all he saw were poor people from the village.

Zhu Sixteen, who was standing behind Fifth Brother Chen, was afraid that things would collapse, so he hurriedly came to Fifth Brother Chen's side and said:

"Fifth brother! The eldest young master is a close confidant of the Hou Ye, it is not good for you to talk like this, don't hurt the harmony. ”

Who would have thought that Fifth Brother Chen couldn't listen to people's persuasion at all, so he waved his hand and pushed Zhu Sixteen away, he stood up and questioned Tao Zhuhu and said:

"Big young master! When you open your mouth, you mention Hou Ye, as if you are Hou Ye. If you want to say that your words are what Hou Ye meant, then I don't believe it! If Hou Ye is here, please ask Hou Ye to come out and talk to us poor people about how to get justice, otherwise we will never listen to you! ”

Tao Zhuhu jumped up when he saw the other side, and was about to flip the table and turn his face, but there was a crisp cough behind him, followed by Lan Ziyi's voice

"Big brother, extinguish the fire, don't hurt and be angry."

Tao Zhuhu heard Lan Ziyi's voice and quickly stood up and turned around, hugged his fists and said:

"Young Master!"

Then stand on your own behind the stool. Tao Zhulu had already found out about Lan Ziyi's arrival, but Lan Ziyi didn't mean to come out before, so Tao Zhulu didn't say anything.

Lan Ziyi arched his hand to Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu, and then walked straight to the table and sat down, and the three brothers of the Tao family and a total of four people from the Yueshan Mountains spread out like crane wings and lined up behind Lan Ziyi. After sitting firmly, Lan Ziyi straightened his clothes, and he stretched out his hand to Fifth Brother Chen on the other side of the table and said:

"Fifth brother, please take a seat."

Although Fifth Brother Chen had heard of Lan Ziyi leading troops to fight before, he always felt that the second ancestor raised by such a wealthy family must be a useless waste, as long as he met, Fifth Brother Chen had the confidence to rely on his own momentum and ferocity to take down Lan Ziyi. But as soon as I saw Fifth Brother Chen, I felt that something was wrong, although the young man in front of him did not have the momentum of not being angry and arrogant, but his determination and elegance were another shocking fan, especially the demeanor between Lan Ziyi's gestures, revealing a wisdom beyond his age everywhere, Fifth Brother Chen only felt that Lan Ziyi was unfathomable.

Lan Ziyi just said indifferently, "Please sit", but Fifth Brother Chen felt like he was enchanted and felt that he couldn't refute it, he stared at Lan Ziyi fiercely, and slowly returned to the stool again.

Seeing Fifth Brother Chen sit down again, Lan Ziyi smiled and said:

"The fifth brother said that the taxes are heavy, and I heard it. I also ask the fifth brother and all the brothers to believe me, and when I return to the imperial court, I will definitely explain this matter to everyone, how about it? ”
