Increase taxes, everything is done in accordance with the laws of the imperial court" Lao Tzu collected taxes according to the rules of the imperial court, one did not force them, and the other did not do anything without authorization, how did it become a tyrannical collection and looting of the people's fat and ointment? Liu Zhiyuan heard what Liu Chengqian said seriously, and couldn't help but raise his head again and asked in a cold voice.

"Daddy, now that the imperial court is not effective in disaster relief, not only has it not allocated disaster relief food, does it still have to continue to collect taxes from the disaster victims? Aren't you doing this for the tiger and falling into the ground? I think that at the beginning, you also succumbed to the end of the succumb, suffered from hunger and cold, and now the common people are suffering, don't you have a little benevolence? Liu Chengqian argued.

"Hmph, you said that Lao Tzu has become a heinous villain, in your eyes, is your Lao Tzu such an unbearable person? You get out of here! Lao Tzu never wants to see you again. Liu Zhiyuan, who has never dared to despise himself, is now said to be worthless by Liu Chengqian, and he is very angry in his heart, pointing to the door of the yamen and yelling at Liu Chengqian.

After talking for a long time, Liu Zhiyuan didn't eat oil and salt, Liu Chengqian also puffed up his stomach, looking at Liu Zhiyuan's eyebrows and unstoppable appearance, he was also very helpless in his heart, and when he left, he couldn't help but say: "It's really a piano to a cow, and rotten wood can't be carved!" ”

"Rebel, it's against you, do you talk to your old man like this?" Liu Zhiyuan stood up angrily and roared behind Liu Chengqian.

Liu Chengqian ignored Liu Zhiyuan's anger, strode out of the gate of the yayuan, and walked out without looking back, Liu Zhiyuan was behind him, puffing out a pair of goldfish eyes, glaring at him and gradually walking away, seeing that his figure was about to disappear, he looked back at the old woman behind him. When the old woman saw it, she hurriedly bowed to Liu Zhiyuan, then walked out of the yamen and followed Liu Chengqian.

Out of the mansion, the sky was overcast, the faint night shrouded the outside of the city, several high-gate mansions gradually lit up the wind lanterns, the lights were dim, like a few night pearls in the sea, but in Liu Chengqian's eyes, it seemed to be a little bleak and desolate.

Since leaving the state capital, along the horse road, walking towards Liu's winery, Liu Chengqian always felt a little uncertain, as if there were always people staring at him behind him, and looked back many times, but he couldn't find anything, he could only blame himself for opening up wasteland and repairing canals these days, busy with spring plowing and resettlement of refugees, so that he was a little in a trance, suspicious. Fortunately, in the state city, there are patrols of officers and soldiers from the patrol battalion from time to time, which gives Liu Chengqian some psychological comfort.

When I returned to Liu's Distillery, a big wind lantern was also lit at the entrance of the distillery, picked up with a long bamboo pole, swaying in the air from time to time, exuding a faint dim light. Li Si was eating melon seeds under the light at the entrance of the winery, waiting for Liu Chengqian to come back, and when he saw Liu Chengqian coming back, he hurriedly stood up, dusted off the melon seed shells on his body, and shouted excitedly to the winery: "Big brother is back, big brother is back." ”

Suddenly, a large group of people poured out of the winery, in addition to Huang San and Zhang San and other people who originally lived in the winery, there were also Zhang Shun, Thin Monkey, Li Feng, Da Niu, Radar, Gao Qiang and others who were recruited by Liu Zhiyuan into the army, Zhang Shun and others and Liu Chengqian have not seen each other for a long time, when they first saw Liu Chengqian, they were extremely excited, and they couldn't help but choke up and shouted: "Big head!" ”

Huang San, Zhang San and others probably haven't seen each other for a long time, and now they are reunited and together, and they are all happy, extremely happy, hearing the title of Zhang Shun and others, Huang San hurriedly corrected: "It's time to call the second son, and there will be no more big heads in the future." ”

Zhang Shun and others said yes again and again, and they were busy changing their titles and wanted to salute again, but Liu Chengqian hurriedly stopped them and said: "It's rare for brothers to meet once, so that set of false etiquette will be waived." ”

Liu Chengqian personally led everyone into the wine shop, Wang Ruohe and Fei Ying just arranged a good banquet, and after Liu Chengqian and everyone greeted everyone for a while, they invited everyone to the table.

During the banquet, Zhang San, Li Si and others were still childish, and Zhang Shun and other old friends were very happy to meet, and kept toasting to them, especially fools, especially excited, simply sat next to the big bull, pulled the big cow and shouted guessing boxing, but Zhang Shun and others were a little depressed, and they coped with the toast of Zhang San and others.

Liu Chengqian saw that Zhang Shun and the others were a little depressed, as if they were a little unhappy, so he asked Zhang Shun: "Brother Zhang, do you have anything to worry about?" Might as well speak up and let everyone hear about it. ”

Zhang San and the others listened to Liu Chengqian's questioning, only to find that something was wrong with Zhang Shun and the others, and couldn't help but stop toasting, looking at Zhang Shun with blank eyes, waiting for Zhang Shun's reply.

When Zhang Shun saw this, he couldn't help but stand up, looking a little embarrassed, and said to Liu Chengqian hesitantly: "Oh... It's not a hassle either... It's just..."

"If you don't dare to say it, let me say it." Li Feng next to Zhang Shun was an anxious man, seeing that Zhang Shun was spitting and spitting, and it was not easy to say anything, he stood up suddenly, and said like a cannon, "The one surnamed Liu saw that we had entered the palace three times, recruited us into the horse army, and did not treat us as human beings, and treated us as thieves. ”

Li Feng said all the words in his heart at once, and his mood was a little more comfortable, but he saw the thin monkey sitting under him, constantly humming, and making eyes at himself, after seeing that he had poured out all the words in his head, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed and silent, and sat aside.

At this time, Li Feng realized that he had scolded the bald donkey in front of the monk, and explained to Liu Chengqian with a red face: "Second son, I didn't mean to scold you, it's true that your Liu Jiajun didn't treat our brothers in Hutou Mountain well enough, butt butt, how can I treat the second son as an outsider, it's because they Liu Jiajun treats our Hutoushan brothers badly, and it's not right, it's our Liu Jiajun who doesn't treat our Hutoushan brothers well enough, hehe, second son, you see, I can't speak." ”

Li Feng's words caused a burst of laughter from everyone at the table, Li Feng blushed and became more and more embarrassed, Zhang Shun hurriedly helped Li Feng to relieve his embarrassment and said: "Second son, what Li Feng said about the situation of the new army, this is roughly the case. ”

Listening to Li Feng and Zhang Shun's words, Liu Chengqian couldn't believe it, Liu Zhiyuan once said that he wanted to form a private army of his own, but I don't know why he is treating the new army he formed so harshly now, and he couldn't help but ask with some doubts: "Are these all the purposes for them to train you?" ”

"Training a fart, since we were incorporated into this new army, except for a few exercises, we haven't had much serious training, every day is passable, and there is no money, Lao Tzu has long wanted to do it." Gao Qiang answered angrily.

"The captain of the leader of the new army also seems to have something remarkable, when he arrives at the barracks, he always makes a gesture and treats us all as subordinates, and all the chores and rough work in the barracks are done by our new army, and we have become a baggage battalion, if it weren't for the benevolence and righteousness of the second son, our brothers would have left without saying a word." Radar took Gao Qiang's words and said.

Although the expression of the radar was not as angry as Gao Qiang, the tone of his voice was also extremely dissatisfied, thinking that at the beginning, they were also the leading captains of Shu State, but today they have fallen to such a point, and their hearts are also extremely unwilling.

"What Brother Lei said is that Captain Li hates it very much, once I forgot the road and went to the wrong barracks, he would whip me and cut off my food, if it wasn't for Brother Zhang Shun and Brother Lei to hold me, I would have to beat him up." Da Niu stopped guessing with the fool, heard Radar and others complaining about the suffering in the army, and also took Radar's words, said fiercely, and then said: "Besides, who rarely does what the officers and soldiers are, there is nothing fun, one is not allowed to fight, two is not good to eat and drink, the most important thing is that you can't play with the fool brother, if you can go back to Hutou Mountain, how good it would be, let's eat and drink together, play together, the official army came, and beat them to the point of being a fart, how happy." ”

Listening to Da Niu's words, everyone wanted to laugh, Da Niu is a road blind, he often takes the wrong road in Hutou Mountain, and makes a lot of jokes, but after knowing what happened to them in the military camp, he can't help but sympathize with them, but when Huang San heard Da Niu's words, his face became a little serious, and he didn't wait for Liu Chengqian to speak, so he stood up, glanced at Da Niu, and said: "What happened to everyone in the barracks, we are very sympathetic, I believe that the second son will not ignore it, and leave everyone alone..."

When Huang San said this, he glanced at Liu Chengqian, Liu Chengqian nodded slightly, and Huang San continued: "The second son is familiar with the brothers, and he was going to enter the barracks to get together with everyone, but the second son is still guilty on the bright side, and it is not very suitable for entering the barracks, I hope everyone can bear with it, the day of our meeting will not be too far away, follow the second son, we will have a worry-free future." But everyone also knows that our lives were saved by the second son's death, we are still the Qin prisoners of the imperial court, and we are no longer allowed to be in the imperial court, we are dead people on the surface, and we are in the dark, so we will not mention the matter of Hutou Mountain in the future, and don't say it again, we are the people of Hutou Mountain, so as not to expose our identities and kill ourselves, and also affect the second son. ”
