A few days later, Zhu Jie and others came out of the boundary of Zhili, entered the territory of Shandong, along the bank of the canal, and arrived in the area of Gaotang Prefecture.

Gaotang Prefecture, here is a state city in Shandong Province, a medium state, belonging to Dongchang Prefecture, under the jurisdiction of three counties, because by the canal, it is also very prosperous.

"Your Majesty, we have entered Shandong, but we have been walking for two days and two nights, and we have just arrived in Gaotang Prefecture, so it is better to go to Gaotang Prefecture to rest."

Although Zhao Zhenghang is not worried that the emperor's body will not be able to bear it, but after all, the emperor is a golden body, but he patted his chest and assured Huang Daren and others that he could not have a half-point difference, and it was hundreds of miles away from Cangzhou to here, and he had never entered the city, where could he do it?

Zhu Jie nodded, it was already noon now, and it was not impossible to enter the city to rest, anyway, it was not a matter of urgency in Nanjing City.

Several people walked towards the gate of Gaotang Prefecture.

As soon as they arrived at the city gate, a loud noise came.

"What are you doing here? This is in broad daylight, and we have to pay taxes when we enter the city? Pay your grandma's tax, Lao Tzu is not transporting goods, Lao Tzu is a dart! The dart bettor is not a trader, so why should he pay you taxes? And you guys are still high in taxes? A tael of silver for a person? Why don't you rob it? ”

A big man shouted angrily in front of the city gate.

"Brother Luo, Brother Luo, don't be angry, be angry and make money, let's get down to business......"

The people on the side took the man's hand and whispered persuasion.

"I said, boy, you know it's broad daylight? This tax collection is set from above, but all merchants who pass by have one or two pieces of silver in their hands, and without one or two pieces of silver, they don't want to pass through Gaotang Prefecture! Why, you're still not convinced? ”

In front of the city gate, a servant shouted coldly.

Dahan said angrily: "If you don't accept it, Lao Tzu just doesn't accept it, what's wrong?" From Luoyang to Gaotang Prefecture, no less than a thousand miles, through various prefectures and counties, it is the first time I have encountered people who have entered the city to pay taxes! And it's a poll tax of one tael per person! You might as well be bandits and bandits! ”

"What did you say!"

The head of the official at the gate of the city was furious when he heard this, the waist knife in his hand burst out, the tip of the knife pointed at the big man, and said coldly: "Boy, you'd better be honest, let you pay taxes, and you will pay taxes honestly!" If there is no tax, how can the imperial court fight, and if there is no tax, what does the imperial court pay the Lao Tzu? Seeing that you are fierce and holding a sharp blade, Lao Tzu suspects that you are habitual bandits with bad intentions! Come on, take them down for me! ”

"Don't, don't, sir, sir! We pay taxes, we pay taxes......"

A young man on the side hurriedly said, "Adults are angry, the little ones are new to the city, and they don't understand the rules, please also ask the adults to add more Haihan; Brother Luo, bear with me, you can't make a mistake at this time......"

Dahan snorted coldly and stopped talking, this is Gaotang Prefecture, after all, it is not Luoyang City, the emperor is far away, and he is alone, and the strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake......

The young man accompanied the smiling face, got ten taels of silver from the car, handed it to the head of the government, and said with a smile: "My lord is angry, our group is just ten people, and please make it convenient for us to enter the city......

"Hehe, ten taels of silver? It's late! ”

The official sneered: "Just now it was one tael per person, you collided with the official, now it is not a matter of one tael per person, everyone pays double the tax, twenty taels of silver, otherwise, you don't want to enter Gaotang Prefecture for the rest of your life!" ”

"Fuck you!"

Dahan and his party have been touching from morning to noon, and they have been delayed here for nearly an hour, and they have worked hard to escort two truckloads of goods from Luoyang City to Tianjin Wei, and the employer promised a reward of three hundred taels of silver, and the expenses of ten people along the way will also be dozens of taels of silver, and then remove the salaries of a few people, run a trip, four months, but can only earn one hundred and ten taels of silver, in this small Gaotang Prefecture will cost twenty taels, so their own dart game is not alive?

The big man pointed his finger at the official and shouted, "Have you bastards eaten lard and blinded your heart? The Ming Dynasty is stable, and there is also a piece of Lao Tzu's blood and sweat in it, without Lao Tzu's bloody struggle, how can you be today? Now it's bullying Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu just doesn't pay taxes, see what you can do with Lao Tzu! ”

"Presumptuous!"

The faces of several officials changed, and they shouted: "Bold! Boy, you are so disrespectful, you are indeed the remnants of the thieves, go on, take them all down and throw them into prison! ”

As he spoke, more than a dozen officials gathered around.

The head of the official even jumped in front of the big man, raised his hand and wiped it at the big man's neck, his original intention was to clamp it on the big man's neck and let these people be captured.

Who knows, this big man is really not a mediocre hand, the waist knife has not been cut off, and the whistle stick in his hand has already arrived first, just hitting the back of the hand of the head of the government.

"Ah......h

The head of the official let out a miserable scream, although he was not injured, but he was knocked by the whistle stick, but it was also extremely painful, and the waist knife in his hand fell to the ground.

The head of the official shook his wrist, the pain was unbearable, and he shouted sharply: "Come on, take down all these people for me, if you dare to resist, kill them, mobilize the brothers to come, archers!" Gather the archers! ”

As soon as the city gate moved, the officials and native soldiers in the city all rushed in this direction, gathering more and more people, and surrounded several Han people!

"Bloody battle for the Ming Dynasty?"

Xu Yifan heard it in his ears, and said in amazement: "Your Majesty, this, is this our retired Tianwei Army?" ”

Zhu Jie was already dissatisfied in his heart, he had just left the capital and left Zhili, so something like this happened, businessmen had to pay entry taxes when they entered the city? Who made this rule? How can this be justified, how can this be justified! If officials everywhere act like this, then the commerce of the Ming Dynasty will prosper, and all the profits of the merchants will be ripped away by these corrupt officials!

"Zhenghang, go over and take a look, don't reveal your identity ......"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhenghang waved his hand and took Jia Yunting to the city gate.

At this time, the officials have surrounded more than a dozen people in the middle, and they are about to start, and the dozen or so people in the middle are standing together back to back, one by one, each holding a knife and a gun, waiting for the battle, and at a glance it is coming down from the battlefield.

Zhao Zhenghang's heart tightened, Tianwei Army is definitely Tianwei Army, this is the most commonly used mandarin duck array in Tianwei Army! The most terrible thing is that these men, each of them has scars on their bodies, and the big man in the middle is obviously lame on one leg, but the whistle stick is diagonally raised, and the murderous spirit is high!

"Stop!"

No matter how hard they are, these dozen or so people will definitely suffer, no matter how powerful they are, they can't fight against dozens of officials, after all, they are all disabled and have difficulty moving, not to mention that there are many archers in the officials!
