As the new moon begins, so do new taxes.

"In five days, the above will ask us to hand over the silver taels we received, what should we do?"

In the past few days, there has been a lot of trouble all over the country, shouting, and Du Ziyu doesn't know how many points he has written, but they are all in the sea. No news. It's okay to say anything else, but South Vietnam, which is already a land of poor mountains and bad waters, if you pay taxes again, it won't be long before someone rebels.

Tang Fengqing was worried about Du Ziyu knew in his heart that what he was waiting for was just a letter from the king.

Although he is not in the capital, King An's father and King Xi should be able to deal with the villain of Gonggong Wei.

"Senior brother, there are already people queuing up outside the yamen, saying what to pay taxes."

Wei Liang hurriedly ran in, Du Ziyu frowned when he heard this, "Who gave the order, didn't I say don't act rashly for the time being?" ”

"It's Chen Zhutou who said it, and he has already taken people to look for it from house to house."

"It seems that what happened last time hasn't taught them a lesson." Du Ziyu picked up his sword and said to Wei Liang as he walked out: "I'll go to the yamen now to call the people back, you go and call Chen Zhutou back for me, if he doesn't cooperate, you can do it." ”

"Yes!"

Wei Liang took the order and left in a hurry, Tang Fengqing chased him all the way out, and brought the official hat to Du Ziyu, "Don't worry, we have a high sky here, and the emperor is far away, and many things have room for darkness, do you know?" ”

Du Ziyu nodded, "You can rest assured that you are waiting for me here." And no matter what happens to the imperial court, I must at least tidy up my one-third of an acre of land, right? ”

"Well, don't be too ruthless."

Tang Feng waved his hand at Du Ziyu lightly, and at the same time was silently mourning for that Chen Zhutou.

When Wei Liang escorted people back, there was no one outside the yamen, Chen Zhutou saw Du Ziyu, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for credit: "Lord Du, I will notify you to pay taxes door to door early this morning, and I will record all those who do not cooperate, if they don't cooperate next time, I will ask my brother to raid the house!" ”

Du Ziyu didn't say anything, Chen Zhutou only thought that he acquiesced, shook off Wei Liang, and glared at him fiercely, "Lord Du, it's nothing that I've worked so hard, but some people openly disobey the will of the imperial court, don't hurt everyone to be imprisoned when the time comes!" ”

"Who are you talking about?" Wei Liang was also short-tempered, "When did Lord Du order you to collect taxes?" ”

"Although Lord Du didn't have an order, but the documents of the imperial court have already come down, today is the first day of the new year, and someone will be called to get the money on the fifth day of the new year, what's wrong with me doing this!"

Chen Zhutou held his head high and refused to admit defeat.

"Then Chen Zhutou, do you listen to the imperial court or the official?"

Du Ziyu spoke slowly, so frightened that Chen Zhutou immediately knelt down, "Small, small ......"

As he spoke, he found that what he said was not right, Chen Zhutou looked at Du Ziyu with a wry smile, "Lord Du, don't you represent the imperial court?" Also, if we collect this tax in time, the higher authorities may praise us! ”

"Then Chen Zhutou will take the lead in setting an example, according to this official investigation, Chen Zhutou's family will hand over fifty-three taels and three yuan this month."

"My lord, we are all from the imperial court, where do we need to pay money?"

Chen Zhutou grinned, and when he heard that he was going to pay the money, he completely lost his righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.

"You mean you're going to fake it?" Du Ziyu said, "In the future, if anyone dares to disturb the people, they will have to pay their taxes first." The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, how can you be tax-free with a small shop? By noon at the latest, the tax must be paid to the yamen. ”

"Master Du, where do I have so much silver?"

Chen Zhutou was about to cry, originally thinking of taking the opportunity to make a fortune, who knew that after losing his wife and breaking his soldiers, the money he worked hard for in the morning was not enough to pay.

"You don't have any money as an errand boy in the court, so how can the people have it?"

Du Ziyu's eyes were like torches, and he was uncomfortable when he saw Chen Zhutou. He has been mixed up in the Yamen of Nanyue for ten years, and he has experienced three governors, but it is the first time he has seen Du Ziyu who dares to go against the imperial court without entering the oil and salt.

"Senior brother, as far as I know, this Chen Zhukuai also filled his own pockets when urging the people to pay taxes, and took the opportunity to search for the people's fat and ointment!"

Wei Liang looked for him along the road, and many ordinary people pulled him to complain about their grievances.

"You, you can't spew blood!" Chen Zhu happily covered his money bag, if even this was taken away by Du Ziyu, wouldn't he have been busy for half a day?

"I didn't have to spew blood, or should I call those people out and let them confront them one by one?" Wei Liang was so angry, how could there be such despicable and obscene people in such a simple place.

Du Ziyu watched his every move in his eyes and snorted coldly, "Do you hand it over yourself or wait for me to find out?" ”

This is not a good stubble, after thinking about it, Chen Zhutou reluctantly took out the silver taels from his waist, and complained in his mouth: "Lord Du, if you can't get any benefits from this, I can't work here." ”

"If you don't want to do it, you can leave immediately."

Du Ziyu said, looked at the people around him who were as unconvinced as him, and repeated again, "If you think that there is no oil and water and no way out to follow me, you can resign from the job of the yamen now, I Du Ziyu will definitely not stop me, and I will not give you small shoes to wear in the future." But if you don't leave today, don't blame me in the future. ”

Although they are dissatisfied with Du Ziyu's approach, if they really go out from here, they really can't find a way to make a living for a while.

"Lord Du, our thirty or so brothers are also trying their best to keep one side safe, if there is really no benefit at all, who is willing to work so hard? You are also an official sent by the imperial court, there are some truths that I don't need to say, you should also know in your heart, my lord! ”

Zhang Zhutou relied on his age and stood up to help Chen Zhutou speak. They are now grasshoppers on a rope, if Du Ziyu is pressed down today, then there will be no day for them to turn over in the future.

"This benefit also includes eye-to-eye with the proprietress of the Huibin Building?"

Du Ziyu is right

This Zhang Zhutou had tolerated it again and again, and since he was in such a hurry to make the first bird today, then let him be fulfilled.

"That's my personal friend, Master Du has no right to ask."

"I don't have the right to ask? I wonder if Zhang Zhutou's wife has no right to ask? ”

When it comes to the dominatrix in his family, Zhang Zhutou has two big heads, "Lord Du, you, you are threatening me!" ”

"Yes!" Du Ziyu admitted, "Aren't we each other? ”

Du Ziyu's hand was compared between them, and it seemed that it would not be finished if you didn't fight for life and death today.

"If you think that this South Vietnamese Yamen can't leave you, and you want to threaten me with it, I, Du Ziyu, will not accept this. You don't want to eat this royal meal, but more people want to eat it. Last time in the Huibin Building, you almost had nothing to do, but today you acted without authorization, looting the people's fat and ointment. Three times and twice, you ignored me. Zhang Zhutou, Chen Zhutou, if you think I Du is incompetent, please find another job! ”

Du Ziyu looked at the yellowing leaves outside the window and showed a smile, "Do you know that this autumn is coming?" ”

After settling accounts after the autumn, everyone can understand the meaning of Du Ziyu's words.

Zhang Zhutou didn't expect that this fledgling kid not only didn't give himself face, but instead intensified his attitude and became tougher.

"Master Du has said everything about this, and I, Zhang, will not stay here. I want to see if you can continue without me, if you can continue to do so! ”

What an arrogant tone, Wei Liang was terrified when he listened. It's been so long, and no one has dared to talk to Du Ziyu face to face like this!

The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs.

Du Ziyu didn't laugh angrily, and made a "please" gracefully.

Zhang Zhutou saw that Du Ziyu not only did not give himself a step, but pushed the boat down the river, and saw that he was about to push himself out, and he regretted it for a while and was worried that he would not be able to save face, but he looked at it several times, and no one in the room stood up to help him say a word.

It's really for a group of white-eyed wolves, these people gave him a determination when they were eating and drinking spicy food with themselves last night, saying that they would resolutely follow him, why are they all defecting now?

What's even more annoying is that this Chen Zhutou, who helped him so righteously, he doesn't let go of a fart now. blamed himself for being blind and raising a group of white-eyed wolves, but he didn't see that this Du Ziyu was really a vicious wolf.

Zhang Zhutou left indignantly, and Du Ziyu turned to Chen Zhutou, "Now it's your turn, obedient or find another job?" ”

"Du, Lord Du, this is what I took this morning, and I will return it to the people."

Chen Zhu's head is old and young, leaving the yamen, how can the family live?

Du Ziyu was silent for a moment, and said to the other catchers behind him: "Don't do to others what you don't want to do, the new tax law is really going to be implemented, you who eat imperial food are enough to choke, not to mention those people outside?" If you do what I say, I will bear the blame from above. If you continue to insist on going your own way, and you want to collect official taxes privately,

When the people rebel, I will throw you out without mercy. It has nothing to do with me whether they eat your flesh or drink your blood. That's all, if you want to go, if you want to stay, put away your bad problems in the future. You are the head catcher in the yamen, not the gangsters of the three religions and nine streams! ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Yu quickly expressed his determination, "My lord, don't worry, we will definitely change our ways in the future, be new people, don't take a stitch from the people, and never go to the Qinglou again!" ”

"Yes, yes, we'll do the same in the future!"

Against the court or against the common people? Du Ziyu has thought about this problem for a long time, the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, and when it comes to the last resort, it is the official coercion, the people rebel, and the people have to rebel.
