Chapter 280: Villagers
"Oh no, Uncle Mu, he fainted. A shout broke the peace of the field.
The hearts of the villagers were still simple in the end, and almost instantly, more than a dozen people gathered on the side of the fainted old man, and a few experienced ones had already made some basic rescues.
Seeing this, those ruffians were finally not so calm, there was nothing in the fish and meat town on weekdays, but once human lives were involved, it was very different.
"Old thing, don't pretend to be dead, get up. The ruffians looked at the old man's face and couldn't help but panic, they don't have a deep background, once they get involved in a lawsuit, no one will go to protect them, and what awaits them is only the severe punishment of the criminal law.
As for the magnates behind them, they can't be counted on.
For those powerful people, what is the difference between the existence of a few people and a few dogs in their own homes?
It's nothing more than a dog, it's a big deal to raise a new one, and those powerful people don't need to bother with it at all, after all, the value of a dog is limited.
Moreover, there is no shortage of people in this world who want to be dogs.
"You beasts, you are simply careless about human life, Uncle Mu is already weak, plus he is old and frail, how can he stand the scorching sun on the top. One of the men who had rescued him stood up, his face full of indignation.
"Looking at Uncle Mu's appearance, it is estimated that he will not be able to last for a while. Another man got up and sighed, his face full of regret.
After all, most of the neighbors in the countryside know each other, and they can barely survive in this troubled world by helping each other on weekdays.
Watching the usually peaceful Uncle Mu die in vain, the crowd finally erupted one after another and began to denounce the evil deeds of several ruffians.
"Uncle Mu can't die in vain, and those murderers can't be at ease, let's go to the official, I believe the government won't sit idly by. ”
A few ruffians were like ashes, and naturally knew that this matter had reached the point of no return, and it was even worse than they originally imagined, if it only alarmed the government, although they were at fault, but the cause of Uncle Mu's death did not lie with them, and at that time, nine times out of ten, he was only imprisoned for more than ten years.
But once the anger is aroused, the result is very different.
Local officials will not hesitate to sacrifice them to quell public anger.
As soon as he thought of this, the faces of several ruffians were suddenly full of sadness.
"What are you making a fuss about, he is old, birth, old age, sickness and death are normal, besides, we have not touched him, and we have not been drugged, how can his death have anything to do with us? I can warn you, don't deceive people too much, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry!" At stake in their own lives and others, a few ruffians can only use dead horses as live horse doctors, and they began to stir up some nonsense, while abandoning the relationship, they did not forget to secretly threaten.
These villagers were simple and ignorant, and after listening to the words of a few ruffians, their originally lively minds couldn't help but be a little shaken, but after all, it was still difficult to calm the anger in their hearts, so they had to stare at a few ruffians with hatred.
"As long as you don't make trouble, I, Zhang Sheng, will spit on a nail, and your autumn tax payment can be reduced by 10%. Zhang Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as they didn't expand the impact of the matter, he would pay some things outside his body to save his life, which was simply too cost-effective.
"We can not make trouble, but it is inevitable to report to the official, whether you are innocent or not, it is still up to the county magistrate to decide. The crowd looked at each other, after all, it was still difficult to resist the temptation of the 10% tax, don't look at it as just a small 10%, but for these villagers, they can eat a few meals, and they don't have to suffer from the famine anymore.
"It should be... You're welcome. Zhang Sheng smiled bitterly, this matter is inevitable after all, after all, it involves human life, how can it be easily revealed.
Unless, he's willing to pay a bigger price.
However, taking out 10% of the tax payment is already his limit.
One percent of one person's tax payment is not much, but the tax payment of hundreds of people in front of him is really a huge number.
Zhang Sheng did this time, but he directly gritted his teeth and took out all the secret accumulation he had accumulated over the years.
Although it hurts, what are these compared to life?
"Your Majesty, those villagers are simply so hateful that they have made a fortune from the dead. This scene was fully watched by Yueyan and his party, Tu Shan Wuji only felt that the world was hot and cold, and he was still indignant one second, but the next second he let a few ruffians get away with it because of the meagre tax supply.
"Things can't just look at the surface, in their opinion, the 10% tax supply is the hope of the family's survival, not to mention, people can't be resurrected after death, even if those ruffians are duly punished in the end, then what can they get?" Yue Yan shook her head, but what she saw was something deeper, this is life and the people at the bottom.
For the first time, Tu Shan Wuji felt the huge gap between the monks and the ordinary world, and his heart was full of happiness for a while, if he lived in such a desperate day, he would not be able to do the calmness of those villagers.
"Let's go over and see. Yue Yan said, ignoring the stunned Tu Shan Wuji and the contemplative Ximo, and walked forward by himself.
When the ruffian saw Yueyan and a few people coming, he couldn't help but secretly say "unlucky", these young ladies are the most difficult, and they all have a certain amount of power in the family, they can't beat or scold, if they ask about it, then the next situation will be even more unfavorable to them.
"These young ladies have just died here, you daughters, don't be contaminated here, I heard that people are dead, and the soul will not dissipate immediately, if you collide with a few, you can't afford it." "The ruffian knows that these young ladies are like flowers in a greenhouse, strong on the outside, but in fact they are strong on the outside, and after listening to the horrific things in his mouth, they should know the difficulty and retreat.
"A few guests, this is a family matter in the village, so please don't mix a few guests. "Even the villagers are full of deep disdain, and they don't have a good impression of the elite.
If there is no exploitation from the elite, why should they live in misery?
Moreover, who knows if the other party wears the same pants with these ruffians.
Tu Shan Wuji on the side couldn't stand it, so he opened his mouth to make a difficulty: "Hehe, if the old man on the ground knows that you are using his corpse for profit, I'm afraid that he won't be able to rest in peace when he arrives in Jiuquan, right?"
