169 Heaven is three feet high and loots Yangxin
(Today's first chapter was delivered, uh, yesterday the chapter title was wrong, and there were two one-six-seven, sorry.) Hehe, ask for a ticket. οΌ
Hearing his understatement and put the blame on himself, Li Zhixian suddenly jumped like thunder, and he couldn't care about the humility of the upper and lower levels, and protested: "Lord Zhou, you have to speak with your conscience!" You are just a Ma Zheng Yamen Admiral, even though you are much taller than our parents in the four counties, but after all, you are not a herdsman's official, why do you set up a name and extort money? Nowadays, the peasants go into the city to sell vegetables, grain, meat and groceries, collect extremely high taxes, and go out of the city to collect double money, so that the people dare not enter the city, and the shops in the city dare not open, and everywhere is desolate. That's not all, most of the tax collectors you recruit are local ruffians, and these people collect taxes for you while making their own money, which makes the people resentful. β
"Some of the tax collectors recruited in Yangxin County openly confiscated their enemies, and they didn't even bother to find a reason, and even whipped local officials and robbed past business travelers in the name of adults, and the people were very resentful. A few days ago, the officials sent by the lower officials to the countryside to collect the imperial grain were taken in by you and beaten! The official didn't say anything at this time! It's already like this, and you still don't stop it, adult? Personally extorting the rich, that Zhang Jiale is kind and charitable, what crime did you commit, even if you are saying thousands of reasons, but everyone is clear in their hearts, to put it bluntly, aren't you just to make money? What do you want to toss the four counties into to be willing? β
Zhou Xingbo was completely exposed by him, and he was immediately annoyed and angry, slapped the table, and his face turned blue: "Zhou Cang, blast this guy out for me!" β
Zhou Cang broke in with a few people, Li Fa snorted coldly, pointed at Zhou Xingbo and scolded: "Lord Zhou, you must know that there are gods in the three feet above your head, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end!" Hello, do it yourself, the lower official will go out and explain to those people, what is going on! β
After that, he came out with his head in high spirits.
Zhou Xingbo roared angrily from behind him: "Zhou Cang, this official will never see this person again in the future!" Take the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and the official will go to him with a fold! Hurry! β
The gate of Zhou's mansion opened, and dozens of knights walked out swaggeringly with a green tweed sedan chair. These knights are all dressed up in green clothes and hats, but they are all wearing waist swords, and they look very nondescript. These are all used by Zhou Xingbo to fill the scene, if there is a war, it will definitely not be possible, but it is more than enough to scare and scare the people.
Zhou Xingbo opened the sedan curtain and glanced out, and saw that the outside of his house was indeed quiet and undisturbed, but the county government across the street was full of people, and there was a burst of noise.
He sneered in his heart: "Zhang Geng, is it?" I'll concoct you again! β
With a wave of his hand: "Hurry up and go to Yangxin County!" β
All the families agreed with a bang, and a group of people left.
But no one noticed that in a private house on the side, a few pairs of eyes full of hatred were revealed.
These are a few men in coarse cloth, all in their twenties and thirties, all of them are sturdy, and they look like they have kung fu. They were surrounded by a young man in his twenties, who was the eldest young master of the Zhang family who had undergone a tragic change, and the current head of the family, Zhang Geng.
A man looked at the team in the distance fiercely, and said to Zhang Geng: "Young master, everyone knows that it was Zhou Xingbo who forced the old lady and the young lady to death, why don't we encourage people to make trouble here, but go to the county government instead?" β
Everyone also had this question in their hearts, and they all looked at Zhang Geng.
Zhang Geng suffered a great change, and overnight, the tears that should have been shed have long been drained, and his heart is full of hatred. He was wearing a strong suit, with a white silk tied on his forehead, and his belt was also plain white, but after one night, this young man seemed to be much more mature, and his sideburns even showed a trace of star white. He didn't close his eyes all night, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and his heart was full of crazy destruction**, but at this time, his mind was also extraordinarily calm and clear.
He glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Zhou Xingbo has soldiers, don't look at us to stir up so many people, but to put it mildly, except for us who are determined to take revenge, everyone else is a rabble." Zhou Xingbo was ruthless, so he only had to scare or threaten with soldiers, and these people would disperse by themselves! Li Fa, the county magistrate, has no idea, he only knows how to appease, and the people are making trouble over there, which will only get bigger and bigger, giving us momentum. And in this way, Zhou Xingbo will also be relaxed and paralyzed, and he will not deal with us immediately! All we need now is time! β
After he analyzed it like this, he was very thoughtful, and everyone nodded convincingly.
As soon as a man was about to speak, his eyes turned red, and he choked up with a crying voice: "Young master, then how can we avenge the old lady and miss?" Do you want to go ahead of them and slaughter the dog officer halfway? β
Others echoed suit.
Many of these members of the Zhang family were orphans temporarily adopted by Zhang during the drought in Henan that year, and they were all grateful to him, regarded him as his father and mother, and were extremely loyal. And at this time, the Ming Dynasty, the Shangjia Road was also quite unpeaceful, and there were bandits and strongmen blocking the road from time to time, so these family mates who followed [***] Zhang Geng's father and son to run the business were all martial arts, and they also saw a lot of blood on their hands. Speaking and doing things, he is naturally different from ordinary people, a fierce aura is blowing in his face, and he is not afraid when it comes to killing officials.
Zhang Geng shook his head, a red light flashing in his eyes: "Let's not worry, if we want to do it, just do it!" β
He said loudly: "Now, withdraw all the people we have agitated among the people, and let us go back to the house first!" Bring all the people in the family who can ride horses and use knives, and let's go to Yangxin too! β

Zhou Xingbo has come to Yangxin!
As soon as dozens of knights surrounded Zhou Xingbo's green tweed sedan chair and showed off their martial arts in the field of vision of the soldiers defending the city, the news immediately swept the entire Yangxin County, and suddenly it was like a whirlwind and clouds, barely supporting several shops that were still trading and closing their doors, and the people who had a little floating wealth at home all said that they were sick at home, and they didn't even dare to go out of the gate. Everyone was frightened, and they didn't know what Zhou Papi was going to do when he was in Yangxin.
The last time Zhou Papi came to Yangxin, it was three months ago, saying that he wanted to strictly investigate a major case of stealing military horses, and the four doors were also sealed, and the store was not opened, and it was tossed for a full ten days, and the entire Yangxin County was extremely depressed. Later, everyone found out that this person was here to ask for money! Under the convening of Wang Dazhao, the commander of Yangxin County, the gentry merchants in the county pooled together 10,000 taels of silver to send the plague god away.
After that, Yangxin County was three feet high.
