Chapter XVII: Murder

The state of Chu had developed commerce, and at the beginning, in order to persuade farmers, Taizu's favor to these farmers was also huge.

In addition to the family with children working in the merchant, they can get a part of the merchant's land. It is also a hard rule that even if a person dies and renews the rent and collects taxes, the tax rate shall not be higher than the national tax.

However, today, it is more than twice the national tax, not to mention that it is lower than the national tax.

No wonder this old man, desperately beaten to death, also came to intercede.

Perhaps because he knew that he was at a loss, this son named Jing Ran said with some confidence: "I don't know the rules of Taizu, but in this Ying, this is the rule!" ”

Seeing that it was unreasonable, he began to sprinkle, Xia Huan sneered and said: "Dare to ignore the law of Taizu, do you want to rebel!" Is there still a royal law in this Yingchuan! ”

However, Jing Ran said disapprovingly: "This son, I know from Shoudu that you are from Shoudu when I hear the accent. However, this is Yingshang, it is West Street! My Jing family's words are the king's law! ”

At some point, a lot of people dressed as servants poured out of the wine shop. In his hands, he also holds a lot of sticks and other things.

The one named Jing Ran also lost his original pleasant face. On the contrary, he said arrogantly: "This little boy, if you can have such a powerful guard, you must also be a noble person in Shoudu." However, this is Yingshang, and the head of my family often admonishes us to value peace. I hope that the little boy will not hurt the harmony with my Jing family. ”

Looking at so many fierce and vicious servants, the old man beside Xia Huan was frightened first. Hurriedly pulled Xia Huan's clothes and said, "Childe, you help the old man, and the old man will never forget." But this Jing family is obviously going to be angry, so you better leave quickly! ”

"Angry?" Xia Huan smiled a little disdainfully, "I'm angry, what can he be angry about!" ”

Looking at Xia Huan's somewhat disdainful smile, although Jing Ran couldn't hear what he said, he also knew that he was mocking him.

With a wave of his hand, twenty servants, along with several Changxiu sergeants who had just been knocked to the ground, pounced on them viciously.

As Xia Huan's bodyguard, Chen Zhaoming immediately protected Xia Huan behind him, and at the same time asked softly, "Your Highness?" ”

"None of them will be left!" There was no trace of murder in Xia Huan's voice, as if he was saying something insignificant.

"Poof!"

When the first servant rushed to the front waved the stick in his hand, and before it fell, a cold light flashed. And the fierce head flew out.

"Kill...... Killed! ”

Jing Ran's mind was a little confused, originally he just planned to teach this little boy a lesson. However, he didn't expect that there would be a death now.

The life of a servant is nothing. However, this is related to the face of the Jing family! This means that it is necessary to die endlessly.

Jing Ran's body couldn't help but tremble.

He is just a side branch of the Jing family, and he can get mixed here, although his life is good, but he is still far from the core of the Jing family.

That little boy is obviously the son-in-law of a big family in Shoudu. Knowing that he is a member of the Jing family, he dares to kill people, either he is stupid or has no fear.

However, looking at the shrewd appearance of others, how can they be stupid!

If he can have no fear, it means that in the end, the Jing family will definitely give up on him. After all, although the Jing family is big, it doesn't mean that you can make enemies everywhere.

Thinking about everything, Jing Ran hurriedly pushed away the umbrella servant who was also stunned, drenched in heavy rain, and said, "Childe, there is a lawsuit!" It's the villain's fault, and I'm angry! Ten thousand wrath! ”

However, in the face of Jing Ran's plea, Chen Zhaoming didn't seem to hear it. The sword in his hand, the sword in his hand rose and fell, and he kept harvesting the lives of those present.

Everyone was stupefied. The so-called, the strong are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal are afraid of the dead.

Although these domestic servants are quite strong on weekdays, they are extremely afraid when they encounter someone like Chen Zhaoming, who treats human life as child's play.

At that moment, ignoring Jing Ran, who was still begging in the rain, turned around and ran.

But how easy is it to run? Everyone rushed over in a burst before, and the distance was already close, coupled with the stunned kung fu, Chen Zhaoming's sword had already stained the blood of more than a dozen people.

The rest of the people were just about to run, but they were caught up by Chen Zhaoming one by one and took their lives.

When Jing Ran came back to his senses, he and the servant behind him who had held the umbrella for him were left.

"Ahh

A miserable scream sounded, and the umbrella servant, who had been stunned, also threw the umbrella at this moment and ran with his feet open.

However, before he could take a few steps, a long sword pierced through his chest.

"You...... You...... You ......"

Jing Ran, who was paralyzed in the rain, looked at Xia Huan who was slowly approaching with a shudder, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

Xia Huan held an umbrella in his left hand, slowly stretched out his right hand, and let the rain wet his long sleeves.

"Your Highness!" Chen Zhaoming respectfully wiped the saber in his hand, but handed it to Xia Huan's hand.

The cold blade of the sword was close to Jing Ran's neck. The strong smell of blood has not diminished in the slightest because of this torrential rain.

It's different from Jing Ran, who is almost completely unconscious. Although Xia Huan has been favored since he was a child, he also accepted the crazy tempering from Chen An. Not only him, but every descendant of the Xia family is the same.

Although I have never killed anyone, I see a lot of blood every autumn hunt. Even, he once hunted a tiger with the Six Princes.

"West Street can be your Jing's, but, the royal law of Da Chu can only be counted by my Xia family!"

With the sword in his hand, Xia Huan ended the life of the person in front of him.

The rain is still falling, and the old man before has long since disappeared. However, Xia Huan didn't care, or rather, no one in the city would care about an ordinary farmer.

There was no so-called discomfort, Xia Huan handed back the sword in his hand to Chen Zhaoming, and then said softly: "You go back to the house to find someone, I will wait for you at Yu Meng's house." ”

"Whoa!"

Chen Zhaoming took the sword handed by Xia Huan, and without even asking the reason, he ran in the direction of Junfu.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The rain was already light, and the voice of the porter became extraordinarily clear.

"Who!" Yu Meng's rough voice sounded, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Xia Huan's somewhat wet figure.

"Your Highness!" Yu Meng immediately knelt down with tears of joy.

In the past few days, he can be said to have not thought about tea and food, and he did not go to the city gate, waiting for Xia Huan's arrival at home every day.

"General Yu, the time has come to use you."

Xia Huan's small voice seemed to give Yu Meng a dose of reassurance. Ling Yu Meng, patting his chest and yelling: "I am willing to die for His Highness!" ”

"Call all your brothers. Also, remember to bring weapons! ”

Yu Meng's heart sank, but then there was a hint of joy, and he responded loudly: "Oh! ”

Yu Meng knew in his heart that although Yingshang was now the master of the family, who would dare to do anything to him, the little prince?

Since Xia Huan asked him to lead troops to guard him, it means that this must have been arranged by the little prince.

In that case, then he has no pressure from above.

A fight for life and a wealth, Yu Meng is confident, in this Yingshang City, as long as it is not ten times his own, with this small alley, his thirty-odd brothers will definitely be invincible.

The opportunity, Xia Huan has already given him. And he is fierce, and he will never miss it!
