At this time, Zhang Zhen was simply the butterfly that incited its wings in the butterfly effect, and while he was preparing, some people were not idle.

The tenants were deterred by the swords and guards, and in the face of the astonishing yield of eleven stones per acre, the ice finally disintegrated, and the hungry people began to go crazy.

In the vicinity of Wanghu Village, there are several places where hungry people have begun to gather, and some people have even begun to plan.

At noon, Xia Zhongyong noticed something strange and hurriedly reported to Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Zhen smiled bitterly: "There are fewer people? Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night! Wait a minute, the government will not take any action, as soon as it gets dark, the Tan people will be brought in, who dares to loot, there will be no mercy! ”

What Zhang Zhen did was nothing more than a thunderbolt method, otherwise how could this hungry people dare to covet it? If it weren't for the fact that the tenants had many swords issued by Zhang Zhen, the kind image of the porridge alone would not be enough to protect the fields.

And the inspection department has finally made a move.

When he first entered the Shen, a woman ran crying and shouting in the distance, and the guard from the distance also followed, Zhang Zhen was still in the field, and he saw it from a distance and said: "Lao Xia, go and ask what's going on?" ”

Xia Zhongyong rushed over, and soon ran back, and said with a sad and angry face: "Young master, it's not good! Something is wrong! It was Ma Fugui's daughter-in-law who received grain before noon, saying that it was the government's collection of grain, plus miscellaneous taxes to 1,400 catties of wheat, Fugui was angry, and said that he was going to sue, but a few words did not come down, and the fight started, when the daughter-in-law of the Ma family came, Ma Fugui was already covered with blood! ”

The more Zhang Zhen listened, the worse his face became, Ma Fugui was the two that finished harvesting in the morning, and it was also his luck, on average, the yield per mu was ten stones and four taels.

There are more than 3,000 catties in total, and your government wants to levy 1,400 catties, how can it be so dark? This is clearly greed! Take advantage of the tax collection to use the power to enrich yourself.

As soon as Xia Zhongyong finished speaking, the woman had already run to the front, and one of them fell to the ground, and before anyone could help him up, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying and pleading: "Woo woo... The young master of the proprietor's family, help! My old horse is not satisfied with the heavy taxes of the government, and he is about to be killed by the servants after a few arguments! You have to call the shots for my family! Ask the young master to save the old horse! Please, young master! ”

Zhang Zhen helped her up and said hatefully: "Niu Fengchun's only received two hundred and twenty catties, why did your family receive more than five times?" Needless to say, this must be a traitor! ”

Zhang Zhen said and shouted to the tenants who surrounded him: "Niu Fengchun's grain tax has been paid 240 catties, and it has only been a moment's work, and the horse is rich and noble to pay more than 1,400 catties, and it is your turn, God knows how much you have to pay?" The old horses are about to be killed! Let's not be busy collecting food first! Leave a dozen or so men and old and weak women and children to take care of the wheat field, and the others have copied the guys and go with Young Master Ben to have a look! Let's go and call the shots for the old horse! ”

Many people who don't know what to do, after hearing this, they are really angry, and finally meet a good landlord who can save some grain for a good year, but the government has changed a lot, ten taxes and four five? I've never heard of this kind of tax rate!

As soon as Zhang Zhen said copying the guy, the sound of the sword coming out of the sheath rang out, and Zhang Zhen said: "Old Ma's daughter-in-law, you rest here first, who knows where Lao Ma's family is?" Lead the way. ”

The tenants know each other well, and most of them know where other people's homes are, Zhang Zhen's shout, people rushed to run forward, and Zhang Zhen also quickly followed.

The sign of rebellion is to recruit troops and buy horses, Zhang Zhen can buy some weapons in the name of guarding the crops, but this horse, first, is outrageously expensive, and secondly, it is also low-key, so as not to be labeled as a rebel early and start up in a hurry.

In a hurry, he can only rely on two legs to hurry, which is called torture.

After running for ten miles in one breath, I finally arrived at the village where Ma Fugui was, and when I entered the village, I heard the cry, and there was an ox cart parked in front of the door of a family, with a few bags of grain on it, and people from the government guarded it.

"What for?" The officer shouted, and he looked like he was just a fierce and inward-looking person, and there was a look of horror on his face, thinking that the rebels were coming.

Xia Zhongyong snorted coldly: "Hmph! This is my young master's tenant, I heard that the government taxes are different, why do you want to come and see it! ”

When the officer heard this, he sneered, "Who am I! It turned out to be from Wanghu Village, listen to the master's words! The people don't fight with the officials, and the young master of your family has no merit and fame, so don't meddle with the acquaintance, so as not to get into trouble! ”

Zhang Huanghe said angrily: "Even if it is a second-grade member of the Ming Dynasty, he is polite in front of my young master!" What are you? Dare to call yourself a master in front of my young master? ”

Zhang Huanghe stepped forward as he spoke, drawing a knife in his hand and approaching, directly frightening the officer, and in a blink of an eye, the knife was already on his neck.

The blade pressed down, and the officer was so frightened that he peed his pants.

Zhang Huanghe shouted: "Kneel down for me!" Come over two, look! ”

was taken over, Zhang Huanghe quickly followed Zhang Zhen and followed him into the courtyard.

When the people in the courtyard heard the movement, they had already retreated to the southwest corner of the courtyard and huddled together.

Seeing Ma Fugui, who was lying motionless on the ground, Zhang Zhen went up, carefully turned him over, tried his snort, and left him to the men to take care of, and asked someone to ask for a doctor, got up and looked at the dozen or so servants in the courtyard, and said flatly: "It's just a tax, this young master's people are all injured like this, this is good!" If you don't make it clear today, no one wants to get out of this hospital alive! ”

At first, these words were flat, but at the end, the servants and the little officer felt a chill to the bone.

"Is it the young master of the owner? Is the young master here? ”

Before those officials dared to reply, an old woman crawled out of the house, who was Ma Fugui's nearly sixty-year-old lady who had seen her when she was harvesting wheat.

"Second aunt, what's wrong with you? It's okay before noon, second aunt, don't scare me! ”

The man who originally took care of Ma Fugui saw the old woman like this, although she was a cousin, the tears came down at that time.

Aunt Ma fumbled to get out of the hall, and asked eagerly, "Is it the third baby?!" I ask you, but the young master of the owner is here? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that someone was supporting him, and a voice close at hand said, "Auntie, it's me!" ”

"The sky has eyes!" Aunt Ma cried: "Young master, you are here!" Young master, you don't know! The dog was seriously injured, the poor family was broken, and there was no powerful relative, the old woman had to let her daughter-in-law Ding go to ask the young master to administer justice, who wanted her daughter-in-law to leave, just because her grandson was crying, these robbers kicked my grandson in the chest, and kicked my grandson to the ground with only one kick, and the old woman went up to pick it up, and she was already out of breath, and the old Ma family was going to die..."

Ma Fugui was just knocked unconscious, and this breathlessness was terrible, Zhang was shocked and panicked: "The child is in the house?" I'll take a look, maybe there's still salvation! ”

Zhang Zhen said and left Aunt Ma and ran into the back room.
