Chapter 51 Someone Collects Taxes

"Lei Feng is not in the cottage? So where did she go? Liu An asked.

"I don't know how to go, I heard the adults say that my sister went to do business, went to a far away place, was very busy, and usually didn't have time to go back to the cottage. Woo woo...... "Erya cried as she spoke.

This crying caught Liu An a little off guard, and said in his heart, what is this little girl doing? Why did you cry all of a sudden! No, I can't let her continue to cry, lest people mistakenly think that I am bullying a child, that would be too tasteless.

"Erya, don't you cry? What's the matter, tell my brother, and my brother will solve it for you! Liu An patted his chest and said.

Hearing the blink of Erya's eyes, the child was already very cute, showing such an expression, even if Liu An exercised his heart like iron and stone in the stone field, he would lose his temper at this time.

For a child, Liu An can be said to have no way at all.

"Woo...... They said that my sister went to a far away place, bullied me into a small person, I don't know the way, in fact, I know the way, last time they said that the rhubarb went to a far place, but the rhubarb died, and they stewed and eaten, is my sister dead? Woo woo...... "Er Ya cried more fiercely inexplicably.

Liu An was embarrassed again, the child's idea was really wild! Where is this? I don't understand at all!

"Erya...... That one...... Who is that rhubarb? Liu An was very puzzled, are the people in Big Tooth Mountain so cruel? When people died, they stewed and eaten.

"Rhubarb is our big yellow dog here, it's yellow, so it's called rhubarb." Er Ya said with a high profile.

It seems that she knows what others don't know, and it's very good.

Liu An: "......"

At this moment, Liu An felt that it was better not to compare with children, it was really an unreliable thing!

"Erya, Lei Feng is gone, who has the final say in the cottage? You take me to him, let you eat meat tonight, that's enough. Liu An said.

"Really!" Erya suddenly burst into tears and laughed, and hurriedly took Liu An to find the person who had the final say in the cottage.

After Lei Feng left, there were only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the entire Daya Cottage, and the one who managed the daily life of Daya Cottage was an old man named Uncle Mo, who was said to be old and respected! On the days when Lei Feng is not there, he has the final say here.

With the introduction of Erya, Uncle Mo naturally did not suspect that after learning that Liu An was an old acquaintance of Lei Da's family, he immediately did not dare to slack off, and he was well served with food and drink.

Liu An also did not live up to Erya's expectations, no matter how to say that it is not bright to deceive children, he immediately took out a stack of silver tickets, saying that he was entertaining everyone in the cottage, and he took it to buy some good wine and good food, chickens, ducks and fish, pigs, sheep and cattle, buy more if you can, don't save it.

The people in the cottage live on hunting and cultivated wasteland on weekdays, and it is good to see a few big coppers all year round, and I have seen such tall things as silver tickets there, and I don't believe it.

Fortunately, Liu An vouched for his personality, and then asked the village to send someone to the city to exchange the silver ticket into silver, and if he could redeem it, he would buy it, and if he couldn't redeem it, everyone would not suffer a loss.

In this way, Uncle Mo naturally couldn't say anything, so he asked people to take the silver ticket to the nearest town to buy what Liu An said.

It takes time to come and go, and when the people who went out to buy things came back, it was already getting late, but when everyone saw the people who went out of the road, full of goods being pulled back to Daya Cottage, they all laughed.

Gradually, the goods are getting closer and closer, but at this time everyone realizes that something is wrong! When I went out of Daya Cottage, only two people went, but when I came back, at least thirty people came back!

And the thirty people were not far behind the two people in Daya Cottage, walking one by one. The appearance is very vivid.

"Who are those people?" Liu An asked Uncle Mo.

Thirty people, no matter how you look at it, don't look like good people.

"I don't know what to do, it looks like it's not our cottage, it's too far away, I can't see it clearly, when they get closer, I'll take a look." Uncle Mo said.

The thing arrived at the cottage safely, and as soon as it stopped, the people in the cottage stepped forward to help.

Uncle Mo watched it from the sidelines, he didn't expect that the paper called the silver ticket could really be exchanged for so many things! It's all in time for what Lei Da brought back to the cottage!

"Old man Mo, look at your big tooth cottage, today is a good day! Isn't it time to settle the amount of money you owe to the court? Just as everyone was rejoicing, a discordant voice rang out.

Uncle Mo hurriedly looked over, and Liu An was also a little curious.

The guy who spoke was a monkey-cheeked guy with a sharp mouth and two mustaches.

After Uncle Mo saw the other party's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but gasp!

"Lord Cao!" Uncle Mo said.

I saw Master Cao coldly looking around at everyone, taking out a small abacus and knocking it.

"Poll tax, land tax, tax for supporting the construction of the army, tax for the construction of the main city, tax on the enthronement of the new emperor, tax on the appointment of county officials, ......" Lord Cao said as he tapped.

The speed of the beating is very fast, and the speed of speaking is not slow.

In a short time, dozens of taxes were listed, and people couldn't help but smack their tongues!

"My lord, we are very poor here, and we don't have any money......," Uncle Mo said worriedly.

"I'm going to Nima! Old fellow, how dare you buy so many things without money? Tell you, you have to pay the money today, and you have to pay it. If you don't pay it, you have to pay it! If it's less than a thousand taels, don't blame me for turning my face and going crazy! Lord Cao shouted.

One thousand taels! This is how to get out the big tooth cottage that relies on the mountains to eat the mountains, relies on the water to draft the water, and can't dig a few copper characters in the soil all year round!

Liu An wondered on the side, wasn't Daya Cottage a bandit den before? The murderer is notorious, and there are still people here to collect taxes? Or the lion opened his mouth?

Liu An thought about it, this matter should have nothing to do with him, if he hadn't given the silver tickets in the village to buy things, it wouldn't have attracted this group of people.

Moreover, as far as the relationship between himself and Lei Feng is concerned, this matter cannot be left to the sidelines, it has to be managed!

Just when Uncle Mo was about to speak to deal with that Lord Cao, Liu An pulled Uncle Mo aside and asked what was going on.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible! Since you want to take care of this matter, you must inquire clearly about the other party's origins.

"Uncle Mo, what is the origin of this person?" Liu An asked.

Uncle Mo sighed, "Alas! This person is a squire near Da Tooth Mountain, and there is a group of village soldiers under his hands, and he has a lot of strength within a radius of dozens of miles. ”

Actually a squire? Liu An didn't expect the other party to be so weak! Liu An thought it was a great existence, but he knew that Da Tooth Mountain was able to compete with the government before! I didn't expect to be bullied by a squire now.

"Uncle Mo, it's not me saying you, Da Tooth Mountain used to be a powerful existence within a radius of 100 miles, who didn't sell face in the nearby green forest, but now he was bullied by a squire, can you bear it? Just him! Liu An said.

"Dry? To put it lightly! If it weren't for the big boss taking away all the men in the stockade, would we be afraid of this squire? Today's Daya cottage is not what it used to be, and the other party has a group of young and strong villagers, where can they fight? Uncle Mo said.

Liu An thought about it, and yes, now Da Tooth Mountain is old, weak, sick and disabled, and he really can't compete with the squire.

But since I'm here, I can't just forget it!

"Ye Leopard, go and settle those guys." Liu An said.

"Yes." Ye Leopard replied.

As he moved his muscles, he walked towards the squire.

When Uncle Mo saw it, he couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly shouted at Ye Leopard, "Come back!" Come back! ”
