"Captain, isn't it going to take some time to pay taxes? Why did you come here today? ”

This is a remote mountain village near the plain, the village is Ma Lao Han early in the morning idle nothing, light the dry tobacco rod beautiful bar, bar suck, his family is a well-known rich peasant, the family is prosperous, there are more than 60 acres of good paddy fields, and now the well-off is at this level. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The family has surplus food, naturally not panic, Ma Laohan's three sons, all of whom are adults, and filial piety and obedience, the family farm work does not need him to work, and he can save a lot of silver a year.

Find the chief, directly make two taels of silver to go to his own quota, and find someone to serve on behalf of the unlucky ghost in the same village, his own family suddenly comfortable, Ma Laohan picked up the big smoking gun again, every day routine to the village entrance to wander, how to think that today to the village entrance, I saw the chief with a person wearing official clothes to the village, suddenly surprised.

Even the lit dry tobacco had to be smoked, and he hurriedly greeted it with a smile on his face.

"Go aside, I don't have time to take care of you today, I'm on this official business." When we met in the past, the chief always looked kind, why did he change his face today? Seeing his impatient look, Ma Laohan suddenly didn't dare to get closer, and wanted to step aside, but heard a servant open his mouth.

"Hey, you're from this village, aren't you? Where is Ma Bao's family in your village? ”

Ma Laohan looked puzzled, put down a puff of dry smoke, "Huh? This official, didn't Ma Baocheng go to Jiexiu to repair the city wall? What, still looking for him? Isn't it in the wrong place? ”

The official didn't have time to talk about it, and said impatiently, "Repair the city wall?" This dog thing, halfway colluded with the thief and ran away, we were ordered by the county lord today to come down and get people! Don't be wordy, hurry up and take me and wait for a few others, otherwise I'll have to take you too. ”

Ma Laohan heard this, but he was not happy, you little doll, the hair has not yet grown, and I went to see the chief, and saw that he was inconvenient to help himself today, and suddenly I didn't know how to interface, how in the past, didn't the head of the family take the lead in resisting the county?

The chief there is a local clan, and in the past, he used the villages as a basis to bargain with the county, but now it is different from the past, and he directly squinted his eyes and was a little angry, "Okay, let you lead the way, you will lead the way, how can there be such a friction, I have to go to several houses today, and I will not delay my time." ”

Ma Laohan smoked dry tobacco and walked back slowly, "Okay, the old man will take you there." "Hmph, with this attitude, do you really think you are an uncle?

The chief said with a cold face, "Don't rub it off!" I can warn you, if you delay the official business of the county today, and you are pulling people to Jiexiu to repair the city wall, your family will not be able to escape! "I came up and snatched the dry tobacco in Ma Laohan's hand and threw it directly on the ground.

Suddenly, Ma Laohan didn't dare to slack off anymore, the head of the family was powerful, and he didn't dare to offend, so he hurriedly led all the way to Ma Baocheng's house.

"Open the door! Open the door! We are the tolerance of the county, open the door! With a series of eager knocks on the door, the women and children of the neighbors next door who had not gone to the ground opened the doors one after another, and when they saw that the official had arrived, they were so frightened that they closed the door one by one, looked out of the window, and stared blankly.

Ma Bao became a family, but it can be regarded as a disaster, a few days ago, he was called to take a break, maybe it was life or death, this official errand came to the door again, did something happen again?

The official knocked vigorously for a while, and when he saw that no one answered, he immediately became angry, "Damn, kick the door!" ”

With a few loud noises, the door of the wooden house directly asked the official to kick it open, and when he entered the courtyard, he saw a few chickens and ducks on the ground clucking, and he didn't pay attention to it, and searched directly into the house.

The woman of Ma Baocheng's family had already heard the movement outside, but she just hid in the house and held the two young children, trembling with fright, and then saw the official kick open the door and enter the house, and had to leave the child in the house, and hurried out, "A few officials, didn't the man in my family call him to work outside a few days ago?" Why is the official here again? ”

The official originally got the official document to come down and re-levy the labor, and by the way, collect the taxes that were insufficient to supplement the grain and grass, which would see that the woman of the Ma family had a bit of a posture, and suddenly moved his brain, "You are Ma Baocheng's thief?" Your man colluded with the bandits, and the crime was extremely evil for the disaster, come on! Locked! ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for a few attachés next to him to come up, he directly rolled up his sleeves, strode forward directly, and grabbed the clothes of the Ma family woman, and was about to touch them, but the chief there was a little rational after all, and hurriedly came up to comfort him.

was glared at by the officer, "You dare to disobey the task assigned by the county?" This time, the county lord is ruthless, if anyone dares to stop it, hum~~ You weigh yourself, for such a broken family, offend my lord! ”

In the past, this official naturally didn't dare to do this to the local landlords, but today he got a death order, Chen Mengji is already crazy, who dares to take the lead, they will be asked to taste the power of the county order, anyway, they can't collect taxes to make up for the holes, and this official hat can't be kept, why care about the local clans?!

In addition, last night, the officials in the county called out to send letters from each family, and the big clans had already understood the reason, which one dared to go up against the wind, and touched the county's brows at this stall, anyway, the apportionment was all the small people and surnames below, as long as they didn't get on themselves, they went with him.

The chief there saw that the official was ruthless, thinking that there was no need to offend him for this little thing, anyway, Ma Baocheng's crime had already been confirmed, so why should he offend tolerance for a guy who would die, so he also stepped aside, and let the woman cry and shout, and he didn't see it.

The official directly dragged the woman and wanted to go in, and several of the idle attachés around him immediately went to the houses, needless to say, the pots and pans needless to say, what to move, chasing chickens and ducks all over the yard, it was really in response to the sentence that the official errand who went to the countryside and broke the house, and the whole yard was a burst of chickens and dogs.

"Stop, what are you doing here, is there any royal law?" Just when the woman was completely desperate, she suddenly heard an angry roar outside, and the official was startled, and when he looked back, he saw a man rushing in with a hoe in his hand, followed by many villagers.

That man is Ma Baocheng's brother Ma Baoliang, who was originally pulled into hard labor by his own brother, and he didn't help anything, but now he is going to the ground, and when he heard the same village come to inform, he suddenly got hot, and he couldn't help it anymore, and came back directly with a hoe, and just happened to bump into a scene where his sister-in-law was going to be humiliated.

"How daring!" The servant sneered, pushed away the weeping and struggling woman in his arms, took out the knife, and was about to pounce directly, but the man only relied on a brute force, where was there any discipline, and with an enemy, before he could come up, he saw the hoe fall, and it was indeed easy for people to dodge, and the others found a gap, rushed up, and immediately beat him to the ground.

The official sneered, listened to the gossip outside, and learned his identity, it was really effortless, "This is Ma Baocheng's younger brother?" It just so happened that your brother was a bandit and escaped from hard labor, so he pulled you to make up for it and take it away. ”

He also asked someone to look for the rope, and the knot was tied directly, but he was still staring at his house with round eyes, staring at his house with hatred, and then looked back at the woman who was protecting the child with tears and rain, and suddenly lost his nature, and greeted casually, "The bandit's house, don't leave a piece of tile, take it all." ”

The woman was protecting her child at the moment, and she didn't know what to think in her heart, but she just looked at all this with empty eyes, staring numbly......

"Hurry up, you have to go to another house, hurry up, how long will this be delayed." The official pointed at the fingers, and was too slow, I heard that Ma Laohan's house had a donkey pulling a cart, and quickly asked him to bring it, and he would have to go to many homes later, and it would be troublesome to move, Ma Laohan witnessed all this, and he was concerned, so he quickly nodded and did it......

In the village, there was a sudden commotion, from far and near, "Ma Baocheng is back~~~ Ma Baocheng is back~~~ and he is back with a lot of people~~~......
