Where there are people, there are taxes, and the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger. Especially under the brutal rule of An Lushan.

Less than half a month after Liang Xingfa arrived in Lijia Village, An Lushan's men took over this village, which had little contact with the outside world.

Coincidentally, it was Liang Xingfa's old acquaintance Liu Luogu, a former subordinate, who came to this village to collect taxes. He broke into the village with hundreds of people, and was taxed according to the head, two taels of silver per person.

The villagers were extremely panicked, because even two taels of silver was an astronomical amount for them, and if they couldn't take it out, they knew that the problem was very serious.

Everyone gathered in the village chief's house to discuss countermeasures. Actually, it's not negotiable. Two taels of silver per person, then the entire village of five hundred people is one thousand taels of silver, and the village chief has never seen so much silver when he is so old.

It is better to say that a single person has a family, but the burden of a family with several children is heavy. So everyone is asking what to do with the village chief?

Liang Xingfa sat on the side and was silent, he also wanted to know what tricks the old village chief could have. However, the old village chief could only shake his head silently except for the old tears.

Li Dawolf and Li Xiaohu asked the old village chief if everyone could escape?

The old village chief said, "No. And where can you run to? Other people's territory can't accommodate us. Without the land, we would still starve to death. ”

Li Daxiong said: "Since we can't escape, then we will fight with them." Killing one is enough, killing two is profitable. ”

The crowd followed and shouted and shouted, and the crowd was surging as if they were fierce.

The old village chief said to Li Daxiong: "You are the most powerful person in the whole village. To fight the people of the government, you need to lead the charge. You have to take on this responsibility. ”

Li Daxiong patted his chest and assured that he would definitely be a leader. In this way, many admiring eyes were cast on him. The women all believe that the more in times of crisis, the more Li Daxiong is like a savior.

Naturally, the glorious task of going to the open space of the village to negotiate with Liu Luogu fell on Li Daxiong. Originally, everyone was following Li Daxiong, but when they saw Liu Luogu's men and horses carrying swords, guns, swords, and halberds, they couldn't help but retreat and let Li Daxiong go alone.

Li Daxiong, who came to Liu Luogu, looked back and saw that there was no one around him, so he couldn't help but feel weak and frightened, and he forgot to say what he had wanted to say to Liu Luogu.

Liu Luogu drank and asked Li Daxiong if he came with the tax silver?

Li Daxiong was taken aback, and then said tremblingly: "We don't have money, can we not give it?" ”

Liu Luogu shouted: "No money? A sentence that no money can make me run so far in vain. You and I are very foolish, don't you, if you don't have money, you will die. ”

As soon as the words fell, two wolf-like soldiers stepped forward to punch and kick Li Daxiong. Although Li Daxiong has great strength, he doesn't know martial arts, and he doesn't know how to fight back if he lets others fight like a stupid bear. The most important thing is that he is alone and does not dare to fight back. In an instant, he was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, screaming, all the previous ambitions were gone, and now the whole thing is like a bear.

The rest of the villagers were even more frightened, even the only warrior was knocked down, who dared to step forward, and they didn't even dare to let out a fart. I could only silently shed tears for him.

In the end, Liang Xingfa couldn't see it, and walked over to say hello to Liu Luogu. He thought that Liu Luogu would hold a grudge against him if he lost a bet with him before, but Liu Luogu was also very excited to see him, just like meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign country. Say hello to him cordially.

The villagers were very worried about Liang Xingfa, although they were very proud of him when they watched him go out. He Qiaoqiao's heart was mentioned in his throat.

Liang Xingfa asked Liu Luogu not to beat Li Daxiong first, everything is easy to discuss. Liu Luogu really gave him face, and Li Daxiong, who thought he was going to be beaten to death, suddenly got relieved, and ran back to the old village chief's side, complaining whining, but unfortunately no one wanted to listen, they all wanted to hear the conversation between Liang Xingfa and Liu Luogu.

The reason why Liu Luogu talked and laughed with Liang Xingfa was because he thought that Liang Xingfa had opened an inn before, and he must have been very rich. Since Liang Xingfa likes to fight grievances for the villagers, it is not impossible to break the fortune to eliminate the disaster.

Liang Xingfa said to him: "I escaped from Chang'an City in a hurry, and I didn't even have time to bring my savings." There was only one silver ticket of one thousand taels on his body. I'll give it to you, and you can go back with your men, okay? ”

Liu Luogu said: "Okay, of course." Isn't it said that money can make ghosts grind. You've given me money, and it's not up to you to decide where you're going. It didn't make me run in vain. ”

Liu Luogu really did what he said, took the money and patted his ass and left, but he didn't bully Liang Xingfa. But when he was leaving, he said something that made Liang Xingfa sleep, in fact, there are only four words in this sentence, that is, there will be a period later.

Obviously, Liu Luogu will come again, maybe next time his appetite will be even greater. How can a mere Liang Xingfa satisfy the desires of others for a lifetime.

The villagers surrounded Liang Xingfa, worshipping him as a national hero, and left Li Daxiong, who was eager to realize the value of his life, aside, causing him to shout in dissatisfaction: "I also contributed my strength, and I was beaten for you." It's not okay to care about me. Everyone still ignored him and gave all the flattering words to Liang Xingfa. Rustic villagers are certainly the ones who prefer something more useful.

The old village chief kept asking Liang Xingfa what the silver ticket was, why did those officials like it so much? In fact, he regretted that he didn't ask for it when Liang Xing sent it to him, and now he knows its importance. Liang Xingfa didn't bother to explain so much to him, he only told He Qiaoqiao alone. And most of the silver tickets were handed over to He Qiaoqiao for safekeeping.

At noon the next day, the squid Zen master who was eating and drinking well outside was finally willing to come back, and finally did not forget to fulfill his original promise, after all, he took other people's silver tickets and ate people's mouths. Liang Xingfa is still waiting to learn martial arts from him.

As soon as the squid Zen master saw Liang Xingfa, who had just eaten lunch, he asked him to follow him up the mountain to learn martial arts. Liang Xingfa was also happy, he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

The old village chief couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the squid Zen master, and smiled and left the squid Zen master to sit down for lunch, and said that this time the meal was very sincere.

The squid Zen master said to the old village chief dissatisfiedly: "If you dare to love me, you used to entertain me with false feelings." ”

The old village chief said, "Whoever called you used to be useless. Now the apprentice you brought with you is much more useful than you. ”

The squid master proudly said, "Of course. Famous teachers make high apprentices. As a master, you should also allow your apprentices to catch up with and surpass yourself, and you can be better than the blue, so that you can carry forward the sect. ”

He Qiaoqiao also had to follow Liang Xingfa up the mountain. But the squid Zen master is not allowed, because practicing martial arts must cultivate the mind, once the disorder will be greatly damaged, and it is easy to go mad. In fact, he said that he was jealous that Liang Xingfa married a beautiful woman. But Liang Xingfa still asked He Qiaoqiao to stay at home and wait for him to return from school. Reach a consensus with each other, and the reunion will definitely be warmer and more perfect at that time.

The fathers and villagers of the whole village wished Liang Xingfa to learn peerless martial arts as soon as possible, surpass the squid Zen master, and come back to defend the village as soon as possible.

The squid Zen master also said to the village chief, "Those greedy officers will come again to collect money until all your flesh and blood are drained." We cannot sit idly by and let others slaughter us, we must rise up and resist. Of course, it's not a senseless rebellion. When I have finished teaching, I will come back and teach you. It's really good that everyone knows martial arts. ”

The old village chief was grateful to the squid Zen master, and excitedly said that this bald man was a god sent by heaven to save the village.

The squid master didn't like to listen to flattery, he only asked the old village chief to give him enough food and drink.
