Chapter 69: Blackmailing Fengjia Town
Shan Wing was almost stabbed, and his heart suddenly became angry, and he jumped up on the horse and pounced on the young man, slapping it down with a wave of his palms.
At this time, the young man was surrounded in the middle, and his heart was panicking, where could he catch the rapid attack of the mountain wing, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand, only to feel that the spear in his hand was slapped out with a strong force, and his shoulder was also slapped with a palm, and he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood and fell off the horse.
"Hmph, I thought it was some kind of master, it turned out to be so sparse, and he dared to fight with Young Master Ben and tie me up, I want to see what the origin of this guy who has no king's law" Shan Yi snorted and shouted coldly.
As soon as the guards were about to step forward to get someone, they heard a person at the entrance of the village shouting loudly, "The king's subordinates are merciful, and the subordinates are merciful." A middle-aged man who was a little older ran out of the town, waving his hand as he ran, and there were two housekeepers behind him.
Shan Yi looked at the three people who came running curiously, stood with his hands crossed, and the guards didn't care about taking people, standing next to Shan Yi and alerting this middle-aged man, in case he was attacked again, there was really no place for his faces.
The middle-aged scribe ran to the mountain wing, took two breaths, and said, "This king, please be merciful to your subordinates, the child is not sensible and hopes to forgive his sins, if there is anything that the old man can do, he will do his best."
"Who are you? What a king, Lao Tzu is not a grass coward who occupies the mountain as the king, if you are talking nonsense, be careful I will take it with you" Shan Yi listened to him and said that a king regarded himself as a robber, and he shouted in his heart.
"Oh, this ~~~ Well, young master, you don't remember the villain, since you are not a thief, it would be better, Xiao'er also offended you for a while, you just let him go, I am willing to prepare a generous courtesy."
"Don't talk nonsense, tell me where this place is, and what is your name?" Yamatsuba interrupted him with a wave of his hand and asked.
"Ah, okay, our town is called Fengjia Town, I am the lord of a town here, and my name is Feng Chen's character Changfeng, this is my dog, my name is Feng Zhan, I don't know where this young master came from?" Feng Chen deserved to be the lord of a town, and when he heard Shanyi say that he was not a bandit, he gradually calmed down, and a majestic aura gradually exuded.
"Don't come with me, Lao Tzu is not a young master, I am the official family newly sent here by General Huangfu of Yanmen Guan, and I am stationed in the open cage village more than fifty miles away, your son is going to assassinate the court officials, according to the law, I should press him back to be executed" Shan Yi saw that the mayor of the town was going to play prestige, and immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted, I used to be under the eyes of these big families when I asked for food in Jinyang, and I was really relieved at this time.
As soon as Feng Chen heard that this person was an official of the imperial court, he was immediately frightened, and said in a loud voice, "This adult, there are many offenses, many offenses, I don't know that the adults are really guilty and deserve death, the child is really confused for a while, it is really heartfelt to protect the family, and the adults will let him go if he is also a thief."
Listening to Feng Chen's compliments, Shan Yi felt comfortable in his heart, he finally got back the hardships he had endured over the years, and said with a dark smile on his face, "I'll take the people first, you lead the way in front, I still have business to do, let's talk about it when I go in."
"Yes, yes, my lord, please" Feng Chen dared to say a word, and hurriedly rushed towards his mansion in front of him, and entered the town compound for five or six hundred meters, and a mansion covering an area of more than ten acres appeared in front of the mountain wing, Feng Chen said with a smile, "My lord, please look, this is the ugly mansion below, I asked someone to prepare wine and food, please don't be polite, drink a few more glasses later."
Shan Yi snorted and didn't say much, he ate and drank like this, he was afraid that no one would believe him if he was poor and poor, but he was afraid that the people would be so poor because they were suppressed by him, and he would definitely make him hemorrhage when the time came.
"My lord, please take a seat, this is the living room, I don't know what business my lord has to do this time, I will definitely help you in the future" Feng Chen introduced Shan Yi and the others into a huge living room, and after everyone sat down, they asked with a smile.
Shan Yi thought about it, since he was suppressed in the future, he naturally couldn't let it go easily, otherwise this kind of rich man who eats people and doesn't spit out bones will only be more arrogant in the future, and said in his heart, "This time, I was ordered by General Huangfu, and all the villages and towns within a radius of 100 miles will pay grain and taxes according to the laws of the imperial court, and there is no mistake in the slightest, you first present me all the accounts in the town, and I will look at them one by one to see how much you have to pay in Fengjia Town."
Feng Chen frowned when he heard this, and said with a bitter face: "This lord, you don't know that our area is located in the frontier, perennial wind and snow, and the harvest has not been good, not to mention yellow and white things, there are not a few people who freeze to death and starve to death every year in ten miles and eight townships, and even can't eat food if there is a slight disaster, don't look at my mansion, in fact, it's just an empty shell, just to put on face, there are very few things that can really be put on the table, you are here to pay and pay taxes, where can my small town afford it, You still have to think about the people."
"It's not up to you to have the final say, when the time comes, you will know that you don't have to cry poor in me, General Huangfu guards the border and urgently needs food, I naturally can't be sloppy, you go and bring the account books to me to check, and then you should pay how much you will know" Shan Yi was unmoved, he has seen a lot of such a wicked rich man, that set works for others, and he who has never eaten their hardships can not eat this set.
Feng Chen looked at the housekeeper next to him helplessly, and ordered to take the account book to Shan Yi to see, and the official family turned around and left in his heart, and after a while, he came out with a stack of account books and put them on the table.
"My lord, these are the accounts of the town, please look at them, you can also go to my granary to check, if you lie in the next place, you will be guilty" Feng Chen sent the account book and said respectfully.
Shan Yi saw that there were forty or fifty account books on the table, and he couldn't read them all for a month, let alone whether he could understand them with his own ink, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, I won't check all of them, bring them back to someone to reconcile, and I'll make a decision when I come next time."
Feng Chen watched the guards put away the account books and said with a smile: "Since the adults don't check now, then after the wine and dinner, I will take the adults around the town, I don't know if the adults can raise their noble hands ~~~~~~~~~~ what happened just now."
"Hmph, your son almost injured Young Master Ben, this kind of thing can't be done, but for your honest sake, I'm not too strong, so it's okay, let's use food to make some compensation first, how much your son is worth depends on yourself" Shan Yi snorted twice and said slowly.
"Uh... This, it's better for adults to say the number, and you must do your best in the next place", "Since you said so, then I will speak, I will not ask you much if I am frightened by this, just prepare three hundred stones of grain for me, forget it" Shan Yi said with a big mouth.
"Three hundredγγγγγ My lord, this is the life of the people in my town, and my whole town can't make up enough of this number, I hope the adults will give me some leeway" Feng Chen didn't expect Shanyi to dare to ask for it so much, there are a total of three hundred and twenty households in Fengjia Town, even if they all add up to eight or nine hundred people, three hundred stone of grain is enough to eat for more than a year, if he is nervous, even if he barely lasts for two or three years, it will not be a problem, he opened his mouth is such a large amount, how can he take it, now it is really not pretending.
Shan Yi smiled in his heart, and said in his heart, "You also know that the flesh hurts, that is, you know that you can be afraid" but his face was calm, and he said, "It's so hard to collect the military supplies, it's all calculated in stone, and you can't get this bit of food in a huge town?" βγ
Feng Chen's face was pale, his annual output in a town was only 11,200 stone at its best, and it was not more than 18,000 dou, if the army came to take out all his old bottoms for many years, it would not be enough to pay it, he couldn't even speak at the moment, he just muttered and looked at Shan Yi and didn't know what to think.
Shan Yi waved his hand and sighed, "Okay, I won't force you, how much can you come up with to compensate me for this loss?" βγ
Feng Chen heard that there was a joke in his heart, and hurriedly said, "My lord, I can't hide it, I really don't have such an output in this town, and now the whole town can't make up one or two hundred stones even if you turn it over, if you take us away, you will all starve to death" Although his words were very watery, he was really anxious, and left some room for the moment, and said, "My lord was shocked by this, and I should make amends for my sins in the future, and now I still have some food in my house, if the adults don't dislike it, I am willing to give two hundred buckets, do you think it's okay?" βγ
"Two hundred? Also fighting... You are really good at bargaining, you are worthy of being the lord of a town, and the official is beginning to admire, but this number is too contemptuous of people," Yamachi said with a cold snort.
"No~~ I don't mean that, five hundred, my lord, this is already more than two-thirds of my family, and adults have to leave me some."
Shan Yi saw that he could play it, nodded and responded, "Okay, since you are real, I will admit it, five hundred is five hundred, but if you dare to play tricks on military salaries, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"No, no, don't worry, your lord, you just have to check it, villain, but there is a lie, I wish it to be sent by the adult" Feng Chen hurriedly patted his chest and shouted.
Yamachi thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any other area here besides your town?" βγ
"Of course, my lord doesn't know, there is a big town ten miles north of my Fengjia Town, there are more than 200 households more than me, where the output is definitely not comparable to mine, where can the adults return with a full load" Feng Chen said twice with a heart that it is better to suffer alone than to suffer.
Yamatsuba slapped the table, "Well, without further ado, I'll set off now to see if the town you said is true or not."
