When Cheng Ling'er and Wang Po got out of the car, they saw more than a dozen officers and soldiers in leather armor in front of them shouting loudly around dozens of ragged prisoners, blocking the already not spacious official road. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Curious, the two couldn't help but step forward, but they saw Li Chengye standing in front arguing with an officer and soldier.

And when Cheng Linger approached the group of "human criminals", she saw that in addition to the men, there were two middle-aged women, and in the arms of one of the women, there was a baby who was still in swaddling.

And it was one of the old women who fainted on the ground, and saw that her eyes were closed, her face was pale, and her whole body was soaked with sweat, and she fell to the ground shivering, while the younger woman knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, accompanied by the cry of the baby in her arms, which made people feel sad when they heard it.

One of the middle-aged men knelt on the ground and begged an officer and soldier, but the soldiers around him still looked disgusted and impatient, and even raised the horsewhip in his hand and whipped it on the man's back, only for a moment, the man's back was soaked in blood, but he still kneeled on the ground unrelentingly, holding the corner of an officer's robe tightly in his hand, crying and begging.

Seeing this situation, Cheng Ling'er couldn't help but be sad and inexplicable, if it wasn't really a dead end, it would be impossible for a seven-foot man to be so low, crying and begging for mercy.

Although it is not known what heinous crimes these women and children have committed and need to be punished in this way, even if the death row inmates in the cells of the Beijing Criminal Department can still eat a few good meals, there is no reason for these helpless women and children to be abused like this.

However, when Cheng Ling'er was about to step forward, she saw Li Chengye, who had been standing in front of her for a long time, take the lead.

"This brother, I don't know what crime they have committed?" Li Chengye asked a team of officers and soldiers.

The team looked Li Chengye up and down, and only said one word: "Get out!" ”

After hearing this, an attendant beside Li Chengye was about to argue, but was stopped by him, and then saw Li Chengye take out the appointment document of the imperial court and hand it over, saying: "You can see clearly, I am the assassin of Youzhou ordered by His Majesty!" Don't you salute when you see Shangguan? ”

The team was stunned for a moment, then took the paperwork and glanced at it, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and then he hurriedly saluted Li Chengye, and at the same time said respectfully: "The villain has eyes and no beads, and I hope that Li Tingshi will forgive his sins!" ”

"Let him stop! Tell me, what sin have they committed? Li Chengye then asked.

The team hurriedly stopped the soldier from lashing the man, and then turned around and replied with an embarrassed face: "This ......"

"What? Since you have violated the royal law, is it inconvenient to talk to others? Li Chengye was not stunned.

"The villain didn't dare, just because these families failed to pay all the mu tax, and there was no money for the green seedlings, so the Duan Thorn History of Benzhou asked each family to send a man to replace them with conscription, but they didn't even want to come out with conscription, so Duan Tingshi was angry and wanted to ask them for the crime!" The team hurriedly said.

Li Chengye nodded, and asked again: "Then I don't know how much the mu tax is here?" ”

"One hundred wen!" The team replied immediately.

"What? A hundred texts?! The mu tax stipulated by the imperial court is 18 Wen, not to mention the drought in Henan and Hebei a while ago, although the drought here is not as serious as Henan, but the mu tax should be appropriately reduced. In your eyes, there is no law of the land! After Li Chengye heard this, his face immediately changed, and his tone suddenly became stern.

Team Zheng also suddenly smiled bitterly, and said, "Actually...... In fact, this is already the amount of tax after the reduction, and the previous mu tax was 150 Wen! ”

"Bastard!" Li Chengye was suddenly furious, stretched out his hand and pointed at the team leader, and shouted: "Who gave you the right to raise the tax per mu privately!" If this provokes a popular uprising, it is said that he has a small history of Shenzhou assassination, that is, the Chengde Festival makes He Envoy unable to explain to the imperial court! ”

After hearing this, the team smiled bitterly again, and said to Li Chengye: "Li Thorn Shi Mingjian, the villain is just acting on orders, these villains you said understand it, but the villain is soft-spoken, and he can't do anything!" ”

Li Chengye couldn't help but stagnate, and then remembered that what was standing in front of him was just a small team, no matter how much he said, it would be useless after all, not to mention that this place was not even under the jurisdiction of Lu Longjiedu, even if Zhang Zhongwu was there in person, I am afraid that there was nothing to be done about it, after all, it was a matter of the relationship between the two towns, and there was no room for the slightest mistake.

Li Chengye couldn't help but sigh, then took off his money bag from his waist and handed it to the team: "There are a few gold cakes in here, you take them to exchange wine and eat with your brothers, this old woman is over-hungry and fainted, give her some sweets to eat and wake up, don't abuse them again on the way!" ”

Seeing this, the team wanted to reach out to pick it up, but after thinking about it, they retracted their hands again.

"How?" Li Chengye was surprised, he understood that although these soldiers looked glamorous, they didn't have much money, these few gold cakes were worth more than a year or two, if they were replaced by those killings in Jiangling Mansion, I am afraid that they would have been looted a long time ago, but the team in front of him was still so hesitant, which couldn't help but make Li Chengye feel puzzled.

I saw that the team was gritting his teeth and said: "The villain understands what Li Tingshi means, but the Duan Tingshi of Benzhou has an explanation, and no one can be partial to these people, if it is known by Duan Tingshi, I am afraid that the villain and his brothers will have to go to prison, although the golden cake is good, but the villain and others are really not blessed!" Please forgive me! ”

"You ......" Li Chengye was speechless, but he was helpless, these soldiers were not to blame for this matter, and only the history of the Shenzhou and the chaotic world could be blamed.

At this time, Cheng Ling'er took advantage of Li Chengye's conversation with the team, and had already stepped forward to check on the old woman, and several other soldiers saw that it was a beautiful woman, and it was not easy to force it to stop it for a while.

After Wang Po came over to inspect it, she handed a piece of Hu Biscuit to the middle-aged woman and said, "It's just that you are too hungry, just feed her this Hu Biscuit!" ”

The middle-aged woman kowtowed and thanked her again and again, but the baby in her arms cried hoarsely.

Seeing this, Cheng Ling'er suddenly couldn't bear it, took the baby from the woman's arms, and said to Yue'er: "Go and get some water!" ”

Although the team failed to agree to Li Chengye's request, they also stopped in place until the old woman slowly woke up before saying to Li Chengye: "Li Tingshi, now that the prisoner has no worries about his life, the villain will go back to resume his life, if he returns late, he will have to be beaten again!" ”

Li Chengye nodded helplessly when he heard this, and when the team was directing everyone to hurry, he saw Cheng Ling'er say softly: "Wait! (To be continued.) )
