Chapter 235: The Clansmen Discuss

"According to the female king's wishes, I found three corpses, but after all, they are dead people, and I am afraid that they will be thrown outside the village."

After speaking, he paused for a moment and said curiously: "Female king, what are you doing looking for dead people?" ”

Li Han was already stunned, what corpse, what did the young lady do?

Shu Tong got up, "Where is it?" Bring them all. ”

The second master hurriedly ordered his subordinates to drag the dead man over, and Shu Tong took a general look, these corpses were very fresh, and their body size was similar to that of the wolf's teeth.

Nodding, "Drag me to Nanshan Pass!" ”

Although the second master was curious, he didn't talk much, and arranged for someone to drag the corpse to Nanshan Pass.

Leaving Li Han struggling, he hesitated for a while and asked Bao Niangzi, "That Bao Niangzi, what are we young ladies doing with corpses?" ”

Bao Niangzi didn't have time to pay attention to him, "I don't know!" ”

Not to mention Li Han's entanglement, on Shutong's side, a team of people crossed the streets and alleys.

Along the way, almost every house closed its courtyard door.

On the one hand, Li Zheng has been informing that this year's tax will increase by 30%, and everyone feels that there is no way to live.

This tax is paid, not only is it wasted this year, but it also has to empty all the savings of previous years.

But the court ordered it, and they ordinary people couldn't do anything.

With a sad face, Zhang Xiaoyue brought more bandits back to the village.

Nowadays, the villagers don't dare to go out if they have nothing to do, these are thieves who kill people without blinking, if the other party looks at them unpleasantly and gives them a knife, it will be too unlucky.

The second master walked in the village and found that the courtyard doors were closed, and he smiled proudly.

"Female king! The houses in this village are too dilapidated, and the small ones will build you the largest and most luxurious yard, and envy them to death. ”

In his opinion, of course, how did the clothes return to their hometown? The reason why the female king is willing to return to this broken village must be the same as she thinks, and she wants to show off her majesty in front of the villagers.

Then build the most gorgeous yard!

The group dragged the three corpses to Nanshan Pass, where Zhang Dewen and several clan elders were discussing.

The decree of the imperial court has come down, and the government has been sent to collect taxes from each village and household, and it will soon be the turn of Mochizuki Village, so everyone gathers together to think about it.

The white-bearded old patriarch coughed and said, "If you really want to increase the tax by 30%, don't think about it this year, Dewen, you don't have an idea?" ”

Zhang Dewen sighed: "Dad! What do you want me to do with the decree issued by the imperial court? ”

After speaking, he paused again, "Now that there are wars everywhere, the court is pressing, and I heard that there are families in the next few villages who can't pay the money." Not only do you arrest people, but you also have to burn down houses! I don't think it's going to hold on, hurry back to each house to take care of it, and raise money and food! ”

An old man sighed: "Dewen is not an uncle to shirk, but this tax has risen too much, and no one can stand it!" ”

Zhang Dewen snorted: "If you can't stand it, you have to bear it." Anyway, my words have already been brought, and when the time comes, you won't be able to hand it over, and you will be arrested by burning the house, but don't blame me for not saying hello in advance. ”

The old patriarch sighed: "Dewen, is the matter really so serious? ”

Zhang Dewen pouted, "It's also that our place has not been affected by the war, and I heard that some places have arrested strong men everywhere, even sixty-year-old men have been arrested." It's much better than them to just raise taxes on our side. ”

Hearing that they were going to catch the strong men, the clan elders panicked, "How can you still catch the strong men?" Do you want to let Qingzhuang go to the mountains to hide? ”

Zhang Dewen shook his head and said: "The war in our position has not been affected for a while, and besides, our Mochizuki Village is close to Mangshan Mountain and the terrain is remote, so we can't send strong men here for the time being." ”

"At present, this tax must be paid, so a few uncles should go back and think about a countermeasure!"

The white-bearded old patriarch sighed: "Dewen has said so, don't have any confused ideas, go back to make up the grain, make the money, don't end up emptying the people and money." ”

Some people cried poor, "Patriarch! Our family is old, small, sick, and really can't make up so much, why don't you lend me a few taels of silver to support it first? ”

The white-bearded patriarch glanced at him, "Don't give me a sloppy look, I don't know, can you have any savings in your hands all these years?" ”

The man was broken by him, but he just laughed, but a person next to him suddenly said: "Dewen, I heard that Zhang Xiaoyue doesn't have to pay taxes, is this true or false?" ”

Others are also busy looking over, Zhang Xiaoyue has the most land in her hand, if she doesn't pay taxes, can others not be excited?

Zhang Dewen smiled bitterly: "We can't compare with Xiaoyue, she has a backstage, and the county magistrate has taken care of it, so she doesn't need to go to her house to collect taxes." ”

Hearing his reply, everyone's eyes were on fire, "Dewen, Xiaoyue has this backer, why didn't you say it earlier?" She is also from our Zhang clan, why don't you come forward and let her intercede with us, and let us also be tax-free! ”

Zhang Dewen had a fever in his brain that day and mentioned this opinion to Shutong, but he got a sneer from others, and he was chilled at that time.

regretted countless times afterwards, and repeatedly said good things in front of Li Han, although Li Han said that Xiaoyue didn't take it to heart, but he was also sneering and didn't dare to show his face.

Hearing this at this moment, he couldn't help but blacken his face and snorted: "I think you guys are delusional!" Why does Satsuki help you? ”

The man was not annoyed, and hummed: "It's just a matter of one sentence, they are all relatives and relatives, and they should have worked together." Besides, she is an orphan daughter whose parents died, and she will marry in the future, so she doesn't want our people to support her. ”

Zhang Dewen sneered: "Just say this at my house, don't talk nonsense outside." ”

"Dewen, what your second uncle said is also reasonable, why should you bother?" The Whitebeard patriarch was dissatisfied.

"Xiaoyue is not in the past, she went to Lotus Mountain and accepted a group of thieves, and even the county master didn't dare to offend. Everyone can live in peace, but don't run to the door to find yourself uncomfortable. Zhang Dewen reminded.

"What is this uncomfortable, she is originally from the Zhang family, shouldn't she contribute to the clan?" Some people are not convinced.

Zhang Dewen snorted: "What Zhang family? When Xiaoyue was bullied by the Wang family, she didn't get the help of her clansmen. That is, Xiaoyue is not complaining, and she also pays for the clan to repair the ancestral hall and open a wine shop, and is more willing to take out half of the income. What else do you want? ”

"I advise everyone not to gain an inch, save yourself from annoying Xiaoyue, and then take back the benefits, that's called a slap in the face!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, but there were still people who didn't give up.

"Devin! We didn't force Xiao Yue, we just asked her to give her a talk, maybe Xiao Yue was willing to help? ”

Zhang Dewen's face darkened, "Do you think I didn't mention it?" But Xiaoyue doesn't care at all, I don't have the face to ask again! ”

After speaking, he paused for a moment, and then said: "Then the second master of Lotus Mountain has brought a large group of thieves here, I advise you to be honest at home, if you can, you won't go out, and the province will cause trouble again." ”
