"Am I in the wrong place?"

Apollo used dozens of short-distance portals in a row, but the places he passed through became more and more desolate, so he stopped his progress somewhat uncertainly.

All the way, it was completely according to Mo Fan's description! But didn't Mo Fan say that the Fire Country was very prosperous?

Forget it, let's find someone to ask first!

Apollo closed his eyes slightly, completely letting go of his senses.

1 km, 5 km, 10 km......

An inexplicable wave then spread out to the surrounding area, startling countless birds and beasts.

There's a town over there!

Apollo opened his eyes instantly, and finally, thirty kilometers away, he felt the tracks.

Looks like there's something interesting going on there?

Apollo twitched a smile at the corner of his mouth, tore his hands, and opened a new portal.

……

"Three adults, we really only have these things left here!"

The head of Akiyama Village looked at the ninjas in front of him and smiled grovelly.

It's hard for him, a lot of age, but talking like this to someone who is old enough to be his son or even a grandson.

Behind him were dozens of young men gathered loosely, their scythes and hoes clenched in their hands, and their eyes looking at the three ninjas were half angry, half panicked.

"Hey! Old stuff! Don't be ashamed! How many of our brothers do you want to send away with this little? Are you here to pick up the rags? Hurry up and hand over the good things in your village! Otherwise, don't blame our brothers for being polite! ”

One of the youngest ninjas stepped forward, kicked away the items piled on the ground, and knocked away the stack of banknotes handed over with one hand, almost pointing at the old village chief's nose and cursing.

"And what more do you want? Can we figure out how to make it together? ”

In the face of the domineering arrogance of the young ninja, the old village chief did not dare to refute.

He gritted his teeth secretly, and said such a sentence with a heavy heart in his heart.

The old village chief knew that this matter could not be solved so easily.

He was very familiar with these three people, they were the third of the ninja cronies hired by the great villain Naruhito, how could they go to such a small village as Akiyama Village without any purpose?

It must have been Naruhito's eye on something in the village, or even the whole village!

"Hey, hey! Very simple! Think about it, every village has to pay taxes for the state, right? But for so many years, you have not paid taxes in Akiyama Village......"

The young ninja paused for a moment, then said, "Fortunately, Lord Naruhito is merciful, so I don't care about the past, but this year's one must be handed in!" This time it is mainly in the form of poll tax, 10,000 taels per person! ”

After the young man finished speaking, he looked at the village chief and smiled coldly.

"What?"

"Ten thousand taels!"

"How can this be taken out!"

"It's our life!"

“……”

Originally, it sounded like it was just a year's worth of taxes, and everyone was relieved.

But after learning the number, the village chief's back exploded instantly.

After all, Akiyama Village is only a small village, and only in the era of good weather can you get a good harvest.

But today's days, either natural disasters or man-made disasters, they can only barely maintain a subsistence life, where do they have any savings?

Not to mention that everyone has to take out 10,000 taels, even 1,000 taels, they can't take it out!

Isn't that forcing them to die?

Since it is also a knife to stretch out your head and shrink your head, it is better to fight with these guys!

For a moment, everyone's eyes were red.

"Why, you don't want to?"

The young man looked at everyone's reactions and asked rather playfully.

"My lord, it's not that we don't want to, but we really can't do it!"

The old village chief saw the smile on the young man's face, and estimated in his heart that this tax was just a pretext, but his face was still full of bitterness.

Who knows what their real purpose really is?

"Okay, Little Five, don't force them so much. Look at all of you in Qiushan Village, they are not rich people, how can they come up with such a huge amount of money? ”

Seeing that the heat was almost over, the middle-aged ninja who had been standing still in the middle finally spoke.

After finishing speaking, seeing that the eyes of everyone behind the village chief showed hope as he expected, he couldn't help but smile proudly, and then he opened his mouth to say the purpose, "But you can't say nothing, otherwise our three brothers will not be able to explain to Naruhito-sama." I heard that there is a famous beautiful girl in your Akiyama Village, so why don't we bring it to Naruhito-sama as a wife, so that we can not only solve the tax problem of your Akiyama Village, but also make that beautiful girl soar and prosper, killing two birds with one stone, wouldn't it be beautiful? ”

The old village chief heard the man say this, and when he saw the performance of everyone behind him, he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart.

Akiyama Village has been based here for so many years and has always been self-sufficient, where do you need to pay taxes?

Suddenly, a middle-aged man and a teenager came, one singing in black and the other in white.

In the name of a fundamentally unreasonable "tax", he wants to rob the residents of the village by force.

It's still above the bottom line in everyone's hearts, so that everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak!

"This, this ......"

The old village chief looked embarrassed, and he couldn't say a result.

On one side is the safety of everyone in the village, and on the other side is only the interests of one person in the village.

It seems that there is no choice to make......

"What? Are you unwilling to accept such superior conditions? Or do you people in Akiyama Village want to spread their wealth and eliminate disasters? ”

The middle-aged ninja said something with a dark face, but it quickly became playful again.

He has played a lot of tricks like this, and what will happen next, he has long predicted!

For a while, everyone lowered their heads in unison, muttering that they didn't dare to make a sound.

Although everyone did not speak, it was obvious what the answer was given!

To be able to live, who wants to die?

After all, it is not you who have your interests violated.

What's more, it's not a good thing that Yoshiko can be favored by Naruhito-sama......

Everyone comforted themselves in their hearts, as if they had forgotten Naruhito's bad reputation.

"Haha! Those who know the times are Junjie! Xiao Wu, you follow the village chief and bring the person you are looking for. ”

The middle-aged ninja laughed.

And sure enough, it was! But the feeling of overwhelming people with power is really cool!

"Do you hear that? Hurry up and lead the way! ”

The young man known as Xiao Wu glared at the village chief fiercely.

"Yes, yes."

The old village chief didn't dare to refute, so he could only smile.

Then he bent his right hand, nodded and said, "My lord, please go this way." ”

Since this is already the case, the old village chief simply gave up on himself, and it seemed that he had some talent for dog legs.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to speak out, but they all despise the old village chief in their hearts.

I forgot how I was reacting.
