Chapter 254: Zhou Qing is gone

Chapter 254:

Next.

The village chief called everyone together, and the three brothers of the Ge family also came.

Zhang Tian saw that everyone had basically arrived, so he began to talk about things.

"Calling everyone here today is to tell you something, and that's something I only learned when I went to town yesterday." Zhang Tian didn't want to say anything when he said this, so he stopped.

When you look at the appearance of the village chief, you know that it is not a good thing.

"Village Chief, you should say it quickly!" Zhang San urged.

Zhang Tian looked at everyone, he couldn't say anything if it was stuck in his throat, but he had to say it, and finally he took a deep breath and spoke.

"This year's tax will be increased, I don't know how much, I will know at the end of the month."

After the village chief's words were spoken, the place immediately boiled.

"How can you still raise taxes?"

"Isn't this going for everyone's lives?"

……

The reaction was particularly big one by one, except for the two big cows.

Liu He saw that the two of them did not react, and asked.

"You already knew?"

"Yesterday, the village chief came to my house and talked to Da Niu." Zhou Yiran whispered to Chen He.

As for the matter of catching the strong man, she didn't want to say it, but the village chief didn't say what she was doing with that mouth.

Besides, it's also an added worry, Chen He's body can't be in a hurry, what if she falls ill before the official comes. So I won't talk about it.

The village chief didn't say that it should also take this into account, the tax increase was a blow, if there was another one, a double blow, everyone must be living in distress every day, and how would they do farm work when the time comes?

"This year, it was confiscated, and the tax was raised, which is simply not a life." Chen He's face was distressed.

Originally, I thought that I could plant some corn and sweet potatoes to get through this year; I originally thought that there might be a tax cut, but I didn't expect that the tax would be raised, which is simply pouring salt on the wound.

"Village Chief, why are taxes raised?" Zhang Kai asked.

"yes, why the tax?" Everyone asked.

Zhang Tian watched everyone quarrel again, felt a headache, stroked his forehead and said: "I don't know this, the people above want to add, call everyone here today, just to talk to everyone, make psychological preparations, so as not to have a bad dispute when you get it." ”

"How do you live? This year, don't let people pass? Liu He said.

"That is, is this year going to starve everyone to death?" Tiezhu's sister-in-law said.

"It's just that this thing is not enough, and the tax will be raised, which is forcing everyone to a dead end."

……

Zhang Kai watched everyone's reaction so big, and he didn't feel strange, after all, this is something that everyone would never dream of.

He made everyone noisy for a moment before he spoke.

"Okay, I've finished what I need to say, as for how you do it, it's your business, and when the time comes, it's not enough to be sure that you will have to offset it with silver."

Everyone must be reluctant to use silver to offset each other, because it is impossible to offset it with silver.

After listening to the words of the village chief, everyone turned around and went back, and although they were angry about the tax increase, the crops in the field still had to be recovered.

The government wants to raise taxes, and Lao Baixin can do nothing but complain, unless he doesn't want to fight with the people in the government.

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, because it was useless to hit a stone with an egg.

Everyone is gone, and there are only two big cows left.

Zhang Tian looked at the big cow and said, "You don't have any bread at home, I'm afraid you have to offset it with silver." ”

"Yes." Da Niu used to use silver to offset it, so for him, it didn't matter if he raised taxes, but he kept the arrest in his heart.

"Don't talk about the government's arrest for the time being, lest everyone make a fuss." Zhang Tian said to the two of them.

She nodded to the bull.

"Uncle, don't worry, if you don't say this, we won't say it, but it is inevitable that we will hear people from other villages." Zhang Daniu thought that some village chiefs would tell the villagers when they went back that when the time came, they would spread ten, ten and hundred, or everyone would know about it in a few days.

Zhang Tian didn't expect so much, and now that he heard Da Niu say this, he felt that he couldn't hide it for long.

"Alas... Just let it be! ”

Da Niu's mouth rose, and then he said to the village chief, and left with Zhou Yiran.

Zhou Yiran originally wanted to hide it from Chen He, but after listening to what Da Niu said just now, she pulled Da Niu's sleeve.

"Then do we have to tell the whole family about this in advance?"

"I'll tell Da Niu, as for my sister-in-law, don't talk about it."

After listening to Da Niu's words, she understood.

"Then I won't talk about it."

Back at home, Zhou Yiran always felt a little different, she turned to look at Da Niu.

"Da Niu, do you think today is different."

"What?" Da Niu looked at her inexplicably.

"Brother Liao." She reminded Da Niu.

When Da Niu heard this, he frowned, feeling that this was the case.

"I'll take a look." After the big bull finished speaking, he turned around and went out.

After the big cow left, she frowned a little worriedly.

After a while, Da Niu came back, and when she saw Da Niu, she immediately stepped forward to ask.

"How? Found them? ”

Zhang Daniu shook his head: "I didn't find it, I guess I left." ”

"Leave?" Zhou Yiran frowned, and then said to Da Niu, "Then you go to the town to see if Zhou Qing is also gone." ”

Zhang Daniu was not happy, and his face immediately collapsed.

"It would be better for him to go, so that he would not come and harass us for three days."

"Are you going?"

"No, no."

"Okay, if you don't go, I'll go." The special Zhou Qing is gone, where is she going to borrow money.

Zhang Daniu looked at her, saw her go to lead the horse, and took her hand when he walked over.

"I'll go."

She laughed as she looked at the bull.

Seeing that she was still smiling, Da Niu's face went down.

"Okay, what do you say you are fighting with him, you just go and see if he is there, there is something you need him to do."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Daniu clasped his hands on his chest and looked at the woman in front of him.

"The secret, you'll know later." She smiled.

Da Niu squinted his eyes slightly, unhappy.

"Okay, go and come back quickly, and I'll make you braised rabbit meat at noon." Zhou Yiran pushed the bull.

Da Niu pouted, took the sunspot and left.

******

"I'm sorry Mr. Zhang, my son-in-law left yesterday, saying that this house was handed over to Miss Zhou, and this is the key." The minion took out the key and gave it to Zhang Daniu.

Da Niu frowned, looked at the key, and reached out to take it.

"Alright, the small task is complete, and the little one should get out of here." The minion turned around and went to pack up his things and leave.

Zhang Daniu took the key and went in, followed behind the man and asked, "What else did Zhou Qing say when he left?" ”

"Childe didn't say anything else, he left in a hurry."

Hasty? Could it be that something is wrong?

Thinking about it together with the fact that the court wants to arrest the strong man, something must have happened, otherwise it will not raise taxes and arrest people.

Zhang Daniu took the key, turned around and went out, and rode back.

Back in Zhangjiawan, Zhou Yiran was cleaning, and when he saw him back, he immediately put down his broom and went up.

"How?"

Zhang Daniu looked at such an active daughter-in-law, frowned slightly, and then took out the key that the slave gave him and handed it to her.

"This is the key to Zhou Qing's house, and I said it was for you."

"What do I want to do with the house key, I asked if Zhou Qing is leaving."

"Gone." After Zhang Daniu finished speaking, he turned around and led Heizi to the river.

Zhou Yiran followed, asking as she walked.

"When did he leave? Why didn't you say a word? ”

"The next person said that it was yesterday, there may be something urgent, and it is too late to say." Zhang Daniu replied.

"Why did he leave?"

Zhang Daniu listened to her words, and his eyebrows tightened.

"What do you want to faint?"

Zhou Yiran shook her head: "Don't do anything." ”

Zhang Daniu thought she was very strange, but he didn't say anything when he asked her.

Zhou Yiran turned around and went back, she still had clothes that had not been washed.

As soon as she left, the boss of the Ge family came over and watched Da Niu put the horse in the river to bathe, and then he walked over.

"Da Niu, when the time comes, the officers and soldiers will arrest people, what will your daughter-in-law do?" Boss Ge heard the sound of waiting for the wind yesterday afternoon, so he knew it.

Zhang Daniu sat on the stone slab beside him, his eyes looking at the ripples on the water, and he didn't speak.

The boss of the Ge family also sat aside, waiting for his answer.

After a while, Zhang Daniu turned his head to look at him.

"What are you going to do?"

"What else can you do, you must obey. I didn't have to worry about food when I went to the barracks, and I still had money to get, which was a good thing. Ge Lao said with a smile, and then said to Da Niu, "Your ability is good, if you go, maybe you can have a good future, so you have the right, you can better protect your daughter-in-law, like your daughter-in-law's background, you must have the right, you can cheat for a while, but you can't cheat for a lifetime." ”

Zhang Daniu looked at him, his face was not very good.

After Boss Ge finished speaking, he saw him like this and realized that he didn't change what he said, but Da Niu looked a little scary, and he felt that he would kill people.

He hurriedly explained: "I also knew by accident, but don't worry, I will never betray you, I swear by the three brothers of my Ge family, if I betray you, there will be five thunders in the sky, and you will not die well, and there will be no reincarnation in hell after death." ”

"Remember what you said today." Zhang Daniu got up and led the sunspot to graze elsewhere.

As soon as he left, Boss Ge breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

"It's so dangerous, I almost lost my life."

Boss Ge looked at the big cow in the distance, the corners of his lips hooked, and he decided to follow him in the future, this person will definitely have great things in the future.

"Brother, why are you here, the tax will be collected in a few days, and the things in our field have not been recovered, you still have the leisure to sit here and watch the scenery." Ge Er searched around to find this place, and then saw his brother sitting here and smirking.

After listening to the second brother's words, Boss Ge pointed to his eyes and said, "Is this called a landscape?" ”

Ge Er smiled and nodded: "This can be said to be the best place in the whole Zhangjiawan scenery, brother, look at it, there are mountains in the distance, there is water nearby, there are mountains and water, this scenery is not good?" ”

Boss Ge raised his hand and beat him, Ge Er ran away, and then said while running.

"Brother, hurry up to the field, take back the things in the field as soon as possible, and rest early."

"Alright, got it." Boss Ge felt that Ge Er was getting more and more annoyed.
